Pam, That is hard to credit. Did the person you were dealing with give you an exact reference to the appropriate legislation (Act) to support this contention?
As a matter of principle, have you tried contacting the Commonwealth Government Ombudsman on this?[I assume such a position exists] In my (limited) experience with Ombudsmen, if you have a case, they cut through all the BS, and get you a positive result quickly. If what you say proves to be true, it is likely that you will also (again), have to pay import duty and GST on the trailer as well! Please keep us informed of developments.

Our trailer has been to Europe and is on its way back with the new glider in it. It was imported 2 years ago and has an import permit from that time and current registration, but no dice, have to re-apply.
