PM diversification, should Platinum and/or Palladium be included?

Personally i'm not overly concerned with proving what i may or may not have based on financial records such as using a check or visa on a well know bullion site for the simple reason that there are no laws at this time that states that i cannot simply sell them for cash and by something else.

that's what i've always thought. a sales receipt from a bullion company only proves that you purchased it, it does not prove that you are still in possession of it. if they can't find it what can they actually prove?

I am concerned about potential for government confiscation in the event of a meltdown, yet with significant sums purchased it seems madness to stack this anywhere else than the mint's secure facility?
Are there any other methods within stacking I should look to employ in order to minimize risk?

IF... the situation was to occur, and I think that there is a VERY low risk of government confiscation happening. My gut feel is that the government of Oz is more likely to nationalise gold miners rather than send the Police to everyone's house searching for some coins or bars that may or may not be there.
