		There is a hypothesis that the "coin" was struck as a commemorative piece for sale at the kiosk in the new Parliament House building but even if that were so, none was ever distributed via that channel.
		I have not seen one of those but judging by the picture in McDonald's catalogue the representation of Parliament House is similar (but by no means identical) to that on the mystery coin.
		Again according to Shane's investigations the design on the Parliament House side of the pattern specimen is just like that on the 1998 $1 coin, the two designs being exactly the same size.

	Australian parliament fights spyware outbreak - ZDNet UK News
		Australian Democrat Senator Brian Greig is drafting legislation which aims to better define, and in some cases outlaw spyware and adware, after his office found the computers on the parliamentary system had been compromised by more than 50 different Internet-borne pests.
		The senator's office ran three anti-spyware packages; Spybot, Ad-Aware and Pest Patrol, and while most of the breaches were fairly innocuous, they also located three malicious pests.
		Peter Ward, group assistant secretary for Parliamentary Services, denies claims that spyware is in any way rampant in the Australian Parliament House, and says it is not burdening the system in anyway.

		In a move branded "un-Australian", Parliament House security guards have been given a directive that they are no longer to call people "mate".
		The guards' union, politicians and prominent Australians yesterday spoke out at the edict, saying it was creating a class divide between parliamentarians and the security workers, in the "parliamentary palace of pretension".
		Department of Parliamentary Services Secretary Hilary Penfold said yesterday a reminder had gone out in the daily briefings for security staff to be courteous to people they encountered in the building, but she denied the ruling was the result of a specific incident.
