Sounds like something you might be able to get the Aussie media interested in if you can get the right 'story'. Philip, do you think your flasker would be interested in contacting the media? Small buisness crushed by new charges, endangered baby orchids put in jeopardy... I think there might be a story there. They are not going to be much interested in your problem, since you aren't in Australia, but they might be interested in the fate of your flasks!
