Bureaucratic discretion throws holiday plans up into disarray for former AFL star

Bureaucratic discretion has thrown holiday plans into disarray for former Melbourne star Brad Green and his two sons.

It relates to the registration number on their mother’s death certificate.

One manager who inspected one application approved it, but another manager rejected the application of his other son.

“All you’re doing is trying to do the right things,” Green told Neil Mitchell.
