  • Ouch! Australia now has the world’s most expensive passport

    Feb 11, 2025, 11:20 AM

    Code is now not working.   I called and was given numerous reasons why.  One of which I need to be employed by IHG to be eligible.  When I asked to speak to a supervisor I was placed on hold and eventually, the call ended with no one answering. Oh well.  Guess I...
