Bitcoins, Australian Temporary Visa (457), Verfication issue and Offshore Tax

I'm on an 457 temporary work visa living in Australia and need to get verified by Mtgox.

Here's the problem - my passport has my UK address, my drivers license has my UK address, my utility bill has an Australian address as does my bank account from which I'd send my money to Mtgox.

How am I supposed to get verified at level 1 or 2 if mtgox want photo ID with my current address. Do you think they'd accept a letter from Aus immigration confirming my status and its tie to my passport.

Admittedly, its probably a hard one to answer and I've had no response from MTgox support for 2 days (but that seems about right for them).

Also, is there any 457 visa holders here who have bitcoins and are they considered offshore earnings and therefore tax exempt (as is the case for offshore earnings under 457 visa). Another difficult question I know..
