BMK flew a kite the other day re the possability of a number us starting some sort of "fighting fund" hmmm. No one has responded to date so I thought it might be interesting to bring to your attention a story in the Adelaide Advertiser that appeared today. The article "Long wait for wheels has mystery ending" has some interesting points.
Briefly a person wanted to import a car into Australia that did not have a compliance plate nore was it considered unique. To import, required minesterial approval, which was refused. The importer went to the federal court which sent the case back to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal with instructions it should think more broadly about how the ministers discression should be excercised. There was a suggestion that discression be exercised in favour of the importer. This matter was then resolved with the Dept of Transport etc. not commenting and refering the questions to the importer. The happy importer is pleased but will not be elaborating further. We live in interesting times! Food for thought?
