sorry guys typed this yesterday and then didnt realise it hadn't posted till i looked back today... DOH!!

cheers guys, all as expected and fully agreed, and is the advice I gave , but as it was only my opinion of the facts I asked to ensure there wasn't anything I wasn't aware of if you know what I mean also to clarify whether an insurance company would indeed actually ask for the photocopy of the aforementioned licence, or whether the person insuring the extra person is just held accountable for supplying false information and hence the insurance would be invalid..
the person wantiing to be insured doesnt know that the insuring person knows about the driving licence being revoked, so if actually supplying the licence is required thats great as I assume the aussies do actually take the licence away physically?
