Just out of curiousity, I phoned up the Passport InfoLine again, to see what, if anything, was happening regarding my passport application.
It turns out it had been marked as "awaiting further documentation", with a later note to say that the documentation (whatever it was) had been recieved.
The application had also been withdrawn.
The consultant was, um, nonplussed at this.
Later on in the day, a voicemail on my mobile said that the application had been re-instated.
Verily, not only does the Left Hand not know what the Right is doing, it appears it doesn't know what the Left one is doing either.
Whisky Tango Foxtrot Interrogative
I've decided to be amused at this. I'm also eagerly and with much anticipation awaiting the reply in writing from the Director of Passport Operations explaining their actions. Who knows, I might be able to show them the replacement Citizenship certificate before then, which may just provide them with an excuse to act sensibly.
Breath-holding though is contra-indicated.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
