I would be very careful about holding gold particularly in a central place such as the Perth mint. The legislation has already been passed and is only awaiting the govenor generals signature in presumably a time of emergency to confiscate all gold other than wrought gold (Jewellry) see
Part IV of the Banking Act of 1959
it has never been withdrawn

The question will be how the government gets around provision in the constitution that ensure that anything taken by the government must be compensated justly for.

There are several possibilities that spring to mind
a. The government sets a compulsory price for gold separate from the world gold market
b. The government issues promissory notes (you can stick all sorts of conditions in there)
