[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 661425, member: 4386"] It has always been that way. Laws are made over 150 years or so and it takes someone to question a law before it can change (cemeteries close because of lack of space, but they found him two empty plots). They seem to have not made him go to court. I would not be able to be buried in the same cemetery as my grandparents, parents, and aunt in Victoria without applying. When I was at uni, there was still a law that said any hotel had to provide stabling and fodder for the horses of travellers. So some students rode horses up Bourke St hill to the Southern Cross hotel and demanded that their horses be looked after for the night.... The marriage age was only raised above 12 in some States in the 1940s. Until someone tries to use or question a law, they just sit there on the books. [/QUOTE]
