On the upside, De La Rue expects revenues from its authentication division to exceed £100 million for the first time in the coming fiscal year. This is in part driven by demand for Australian passports, for which De La Rue is a supplier, according to the Wednesday filing. Australian passports ... damn pricey. Something like AUD$325 per passport[0] and IIRC they no longer let you ask for extra pages either. And while Australia has a low population by global standards, we are big travelers. A new government was just voted in - perhaps time to renegotiate with De La Rue and get a better deal?
