Yeah, I read about this the other day :( Going to make it tough for some people I'd imagine

Is it valid? Or is it just another reason to charge us a fee?
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

it was on 6wf and people were calling in.
a way to get around it is if the parcel isnt labeled as containing seeds, its so stupid
