Default Why is this country so strange?

I am sure others are worse, but here is my situation.

There is a very good chance I am buying a car from tassie within a couple of weeks. I am getting a RACT RWC done there before I buy it to make sure everything is ok.

So I went to Vic Roads today and asked do I have to get a RWC done again when I register it in my name in Vic. The answer was yes. So I asked why? we are in the same country, abide by the same laws, wtf do I have to get the check again.

She said I dont know.

Great.

So who does know? Why on gods name would a RWC check be any different in tassie than in Vic?

And why the heck aren't the laws the same, its like people go out of there way to confuse and annoy people when it should be a straight forward process.

AFAIK a RWC check, once passed, is good for 14 days. So if I register it over here within 14 days whats the problem!

Can anyone help clarify this?

Thanks
