Frequently Unanswered Questions of the "Australian Government"

This is an interesting story of one Australian citizen's experience with Australian Customs and their Department of Transport when he bought a 1959 Corvette in Chicago and then tried to import it back home to Perth. When they started giving him trouble, he decided to challenge their legitimacy essentially by simply asking them to prove that they are who they claim to be and actually have the authority they claim to have. He got some surprising results.

It's about 52 minutes long -- it gets more interesting as you get further into it. And it may get you thinking about how this could be used right here in the States.

Enjoy.

... I had forgotten to copy the video for this thread and still had one I'd used in another discussion board in the copy/paste buffer.

... I have any control over. I just now started it from this thread and it seems to be working and went beyond the intro.

Maybe you'll have better luck viewing it from youtube's platform.
