The Australian connection is right, but Dan Rather got the story wrong.

From Australian's Northern Territory.

A New Zealander and his wife established a car detailing business Kiwi Klass Kars (all ornate like that). The Klan not being big in Australia (except "silly season" reporting when the media persuades some nut to declare himself to be the Australian Grand Dragon), they, and noone in the town thought anything of the KKK.

Nor did the DMV when they registered their personal vehicles KKK1 and KKK2 (and I think additional trade plates up to KKK6).

Then an Australian leftist saw one of the cars. And as the Australian left is pop-culturally American, that's when a great tempest in a latte cup occured.

Oh yeah. The New Zealander who was the innocent cause of the "KKK group in Territory Town" affair. Maori, married to a white woman.

True Story.
