JC, this could be the subject of an entire guest post.
True, I have done this. But the scam involved individuals obtaining an Australian Business Number which is supposed to be in support of a commercial enterprise.
Hard to believe that ABN were being issued so easily for people without corporate records or any actual business.
Bullet points.
I’ll incorporate the topic into my series of economics posts.

They have to support the ALP. They just gave them back the right for their kids to carry knives to school.
Plus, I understand that there are significant genetic similarities between aboriginals and Indians. DNA testing and onto the gravy train!
Any DNA testing in the Albo Moses story?
Can’t see any resemblance between Albo and Luigi senior.
I provide another example and it’s this alone. Still, interesting you think a reference to climate boondoggles is a curve ball.
What?
LOL. Destroying millennia-old Christian communities in Iraq, slavemarkets in Libya, the destruction of cities in Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, and Syria, and so on, just ‘side-issues’.
In the end, this is what support for US policy amounts to.
No, if they go they will take it at considerable cost and the US in the end will just have to pound sand.
As a family farmer, as a handyman, as a lawnmower contractor, as an individual contractor for trade work you can be a sole trader and get an ABN as a matter of course.
Sounds strange, I know that an Australian can try to earn a living without a $5M per annum compliance team on payroll, but the world has surprises for us all.
Years ago I had an ABN (since lapsed) as a sole trader. The business consisted of me and a computer in a study.
All right, smartarse.
Back in the day a Doctorate really meant something.

Just back from another long day at CPAC. It was great, to meet and talk with like minded people and I had some great conversations. I note that in attendance at CPAC there were many libertarians, many conservatives, many right-wingers and others who are opposed to the left.

@RobertKennedyJr: “Tony Fauci Knew That Remdesivir Would Kill You”
“How does it kill you?” he asked. “Kidney failure, heart failure, and all-organ collapse.”
“All the doctors said. You heard it again and again. ‘We’ve never seen a virus that attacks the kidneys.’ Because it wasn’t the virus; it was the remdesivir.”
True. I’ve got a huge collection of smocks.
If you identify as a business then an ABN is just a small step in your path to commercial self realisation.
Business curious.
If you don’t stand for something, you conform to anything.

The stock market must be going tits up.
My sister just rang and asked how to buy gold.
Me too, same. The ATO have been nice enough to include a one click zero-out option for the pink form, and it takes about 2 seconds to do it. The only irritating thing is their email alerts stopped working one day due to a bug of some kind, and I can’t work out how to fix it, so I have to remember to log in each three months. Maybe I should give up the ABN.
My sister asked the same a few months ago.
I told her about Perth Mint website. Buy from someone who will guarantee the product.
I warned her of the Chinese fake bullion coins, very nice copies of many sorts of trusted products which look great and analyse as Au, but are just plating over a 25% copper 75% Tungsten dummy. This is not a rumour; I was given one, and analysed it by XRF.
Actually, I was the one who posted the fact that he opposed any legislation relating to climate and that he was dead against it. He told the administration to take a hike. What “boondoggle” are you referring to?
You’re obviously not trying to share a fair analysis of Manchin, because you completely avoid and skip the other points I raised putting him at odds with the Demon party. I’m now done with this.
In comparison to the Cold War, yeah, just sides issues. What was so interesting about the Libyan slave markets? I’m with you. I always thought slavery has gotten a bad rap. 🙂 just kidding
Dover, you have to stop reading decade old pages in the Guardian. You’re basically about a decade behind where leftwing foreign policy was then.
The US was attacked on 911 by a bunch of goat rooting towel heads supported by millions back home. They deserved a decent thrashing and now appear to be a little more behaved.
Can I ask, where were you up to about 2008 with regards to Iraq and the war on terror. Forgive me for saying this, but I don’t recall you being an opponent then. Were you? Honest question.
I’m not so sure, but we’ll see. I think it all depends on who is the US president.
Here you go, Lizzie – Newport 1964
Yep. And then one day you submit a BAS for 250k in “setup” costs for your dog-grooming business thus enabling you to claim 30k in GST refund.
In some examples the claimants were on Centrelink payments while claiming hundreds of thousands in business activity.
Obviously, nobody could have foreseen this or added any checks to prevent the scam. /sarc

Rabz, to be honest, I read stuff that you post when it’s not “musicals”. I was a little perplexed because the other day you came out saying you weren’t a conservative and then yesterday you dissed libertarians (causing needless spasms of joy to His Leadership). That doesn’t leave much along the ideological line except straight left. That’s why I asked.

Hi Cassie. I watched the conference online and was surprised by the quality of speakers and how the conference was organised to present policy positions that supported each other. I was much impressed by the reference to “radical conservatives”. It has a ring to it and should be considered as a description for the next generation party. I’d vote for them and so would would lots of young people!
This is beginning to sound like the 495 as folks are heading to the Hamptons on a Friday afternoon.
Go on. Buy gold. Lots of it.
Then, when you have done so, be sure to tell everyone about it so that in the post-apocalyptic world bigger and stronger people (predators) will know where to go to take it – all of it – from your feeble fingers.

BB – for goodness’ sake – Telescreen off, turned back on at 7:59pm (AEST).
To be honest, in my line of work, most PhD’s would have difficulty working out what to do with a de-smocked village maiden.
Vicki, I sat on a publisher’s award committee for five years, each year selecting the best thesis for (edited) publication from recently submitted PhDs. Without a completed PhD myself (another story), I still had enough track record of supervision and publication and journal editorial board membership and other scholarly contributions to warrant my place on that committee. This was in the late 80s and even then the amount of crap that was being award a PhD was increasing, although there was still some exemplary work, which we as an assessor group recommended to be published. I have seen synopses, and read first chapters, of some of the worst recent work (passed on to me by appalled colleagues still in the field) and they are not worth any sort of pass on the standards we used to apply.
I’d just like to say, don’t judge the Sikhs by Wong. My experience says they are very solid citizens.

ABNs are dead easy to get.
And it wouldn’t be uncommon for a newly registered ABN to claim refunds in their first few months of operation when your outlays exceed sales.
It seems not dissimilar to the Cranston PAYG scheme by using dummy principals to distance yourself from the scam.
The flaw in the scheme is that funds are captured within the Australian banking system and, unless you have a way of liberating the funds, you are kind of stuck.
Crypto, I hear you say.
I just got a letter from my bank saying transfers to accounts they suspect are crypto trading are limited to $10k a month.
You need a massive network of dummy principals to front the ABNs and then get the money out of the system in an untraceable way.

Swami’s donkey has slipped into the river and drowned. Hah.
You can go to the Perth Mint.
But it’s cheaper on the streets, dude.
I’m going to make a wild guess, seeing as how the gst refund scam was apparently concentrated in south western Sydney that the refunds were withdrawn quick smart and then either spent or transferred via another type of banking service, overseas.

Wests (sadly no longer with us and now merged with the Tiggers)
Fun Facts :
I’m , actually, a life member of Wests, the leagues club that is, way back in my alcoholic daze around the mid 70s I often drank at the club in Ashfield .. one night, against the grain cos I wasn’t a poke rmachine player (still aren’t) I scored a jackpot, quite big if memory serves me .. and at the time the push was on for Wests to move to Campbelltown as they were going broke (before the advertising bloke stepped in, forget his name John something or other, bloke who built the Gosford footie ground).
Anywayz, the upshot was the club was desperate and started offering life membership for $35 one off cash payment …. sooo being flush wiv pokie money I indulged realising that I’d alwayz have somewhere to drink late nights & Sunday (before Sunday pub opening dayz) …… still getz my yearly membership advice as I’ve alwayz managed to keep my address up to date ……

Ghizza,
Point out to one single time I said people didn’t understand Vivek? One single time, you delusional slob. I took him at his word and he sounded great. This changed and when change occurs that I don’t like, I change my view. What do you do? Stick to sucking up to USSR on Discord.
Like you? When?
Charming. And how ladylike.
This diminishing of the value of PhDs does no service to real research, such as Hairy had to do, working in an international research context on cutting-edge EU-funded projects, for his PhD in Science from the University of Sydney (in the good old days). After that he became a renowned professorial international team leader for some other key EU and ARC projects on arcane and mathematical stuff to do with internet packet switching and speed-enhancing proxies (something his team invented and were working on). He also worked in the early days of mobile telephony, at various research institutes and major telephonic corporations, and brought in muchos millions of dollars for various projects under his aegis. As Bruce of Newc and other PhD’s here would know, his was real and proper professorial work; he held a personal chair appointed on the basis of research, held that chair in both a technology and a sandstone university, and was duchessed at one time by Microsoft in New York. That he was an adept no-nonsense administrator and an experienced corporate warrior in industry was all rather secondary, although it later became a main game.
These days, well into retirement, he can’t stand what he sees going on in universities and thinks Vice Chancellors are far too woke and incredibly weak. He would have resisted from the start the incremental leftism now damaging the university sector and would have halted the declining standards long ago. It’s almost too late now.
Another problem he sees is that of bringing in senior public servants into run universities as VC’s or in other Chancellery positions. They have no good handle on the needs of academic research and teaching. A well-chosen professoriate can make a better job of it if they are allowed internal freedom from the leftist judges too often appointed as Chancellors.
BB – that is some good ol’ fashioned R ‘n’ R.
There is some good eating out there in Orange. Good wineries too.
There is a shop called ‘Ferment’ which serves as a cellar door for places too small to run their own cellar door with staff over the whole weekend and too scattered. But obviously popping into wineries yourself is best.
(I only know this because I have family out there. I get the ‘family accommodation discount’, which amounts to staying agreeable after a few drinks and assuring my siblings that their kids’ mundane achievements are up there with Leonardo Da Vinci and H.H.Monroe (Saki)).
The Libs should look at putting a new broom through those leftist Chancelleries.
Faint hope of that so far, but the current slide down the league tables might help focus.
My middle daughter had no problem getting an ABN when she started her photography business (2010) .. back then it was just her working from home/car ..

The ones in the Inflation Reduction Act.
I addressed some of them in my first reply last night.
More people died because of US meddling in the post-Cold War then during the last 30 years of the Cold War for the obvious reason.
So you’re saying Blair’s foreign policy was rightwing. I lot of right-wingers, incl. myself, were conned by neocons, who were confused as centre-right when they were simply anti-Russian centre-leftists, that wanted to pursue a liberal internationalism leveraging US power. We might have picked this up earlier if we took palecons more seriously as they’ve been saying this since the ’80s.
Why does that matter? It’s not like I’m criticising your position in 2008.
The only thing a new President might change is the decision by China to roll the dice. But if they do, I don’t think anyone contemplates the US directly attacking China or vice versa.
And here’s the Robodebt payoff.
Who would now dare to call up and say, “Hey, it looks like you are on the dole and running a business.”

As a West Australian the world of clubs, signing in, guest memberships and pokies are a foreign language to me. I think I got signed as a guest for some barefoot bowling and a couple of frothies on a weekend arvo once and one weekend on the Noosa Surf Club verandah. Liquor laws like polony give rise to their own regional quirks. You never find a West Australian out late on a Sunday night whereas real discipline is required in Melbournibad.
Your argument is that Kiev should be free to shell its own population in Donetsk City and the rest of the Donbass? This is an interesting argument.
Just gave carrot to hyperactive male brushtail kiddie. He was bouncing! He doesn’t really like carrots though, even if they’re better for him than white bread, which he’s addicted to. Ok he’s no longer really a kiddie, but he’s small, and excitable, and oversexed, like a 15 year old human.
Stellar day at the Cafe. Three days ago one of the young magpies out of nowhere started to sit on my arm, which he again did this morning. I fed him bits of mince and he was happy. Then a rainbow lorikeet joined him, since I had a chunk of bread in that hand. First time I’ve ever had a maggie and a lorikeet on an arm at the same time, and only the third magpie that’s ever done that at all.

If you are going to buy gold, make sure it is from a reputable source.
I have a Chinese Tael (about 50 grams) gold ingot which is s beautifully manufactured fake. It took some sophisticated equipment to identify it as a fake.
It is weighted accurately to the international standard, has all the correct hallmarks and very much appears genuine to the experienced eye.
On analysis it was found to be about 60% copper alloy and tungsten formed into a thin wire core and incorporated into approximately 15 grams of 99% gold, so it is not worthless, but a real Tael would fetch about $A4500 whereas the gold value of the fake is worth around $A1400. Buy gold off eBay or the street at your peril.
If you buy from Perth Mint these days, the quality is guaranteed (unless you are the Chinese Government) but you need a verified account and the Mint no longer accepts anonymous cash sales following some money laundering activity by foreign folks involving little old ladies.

The article I read said that after all the numerous people unfairly targeted by the FBI and DOJ, including but not exclusively the J6ers, then he would be open to considering pardoning the Biden’s to advance (and with no commitment to anything other than merit for whatever was proffered) American unity.

Speaking of gold, just re-read Octopussy last night.
The main character is a British Army major who murders a guide in 1945, after getting him to take him up an Austrian mountain to a cache of two Nazi gold bars.
He gets them back to the UK, and then makes a new home for himself and wife in Jamaica. He takes the two gold bars to some Chinese brothers who have the ability to quietly sell off some of the gold each month. First of all they assay them though, and find the Nazis – as was their custom – adulterated their gold with lead.
Dunno if that was true, but it’s a good story by Ian Fleming.

Not sure why Vivek’s comments re equal aid to Israel, UAE, and Bahrain are a problem.
You talking to me, Squire?
Why wouldn’t’ they be a problem when Israel is America’s historical ally in the Mid East?
Interestingly, the Ch7 commentary team were speculating on ‘shaping’ and obstruction – when the penalty went on a handball.
I think it was the use of the non-specific term ‘Middle East’ which some have taken to equate to Iran, Syria and other undesirables.
It seemed to take about eight minutes longer than it should have to decide what looked pretty obvious.
Where does UAE and Bahrain come into it?

2: use my doing any of those duties when requested as bad employee.
3: actually get temps to ferret for anything wrong while on holiday. ( they got naffink)
4: after removing most of my useful activities on site whine to boss I do naffink.
I saw it coming but thought it would be end of the year.
Embarrassment of job offers,
I saw Donovan when I was in my mid teens. It was way past his heyday. The now ex-BiL wanted to see him and my sister had to go away for work, so I said I’d go. All I can remember about it was Donovan strumming guitar whilst sitting on an enormous cushion. It was the most boring of nights.

Farter time.
I expect kipper-fuelled mania overnight.
Queen Letizia is superb. Nice red outfit.
Have I missed anything in the last week?

This is the perfect example why the big, bad, evil medicine whores wouldn’t have gone near covid vaccines without legislative protection against incoming (lawsuits).
Now being sued for not coming out with a med fast enough.
Clarify? Are you going to suck Albert Bourla’s cock?
You are still calling them “vaccines” WTF? They were in development years prior and the intent was not good.
Bio-Weapons!
Peoples memories are going to sh*t.

Weight gain?
Gay men will take the kidney and bone damage every time.
The thing is, this could have unintended consequences.
Plaintiffs win in lower courts.
It ends up before SCOTUS who not only scotch it, but considerably narrow the scope for similar claims.

I’ll put that in the memory banks.
Cheers.
I for one have no objection to señoritas writhing around on the ground and trying to attract attention.
Play on.

Who’s Albert Bourla and what’s so special about his penis that should interest me?
Okay, what would you like me to call them so it doesn’t upset you?
Bio-weapons? Naaa too redundant, how about “cute owls”
Tell me about it. My short term memory is shot to pieces.
Take a chill pill Tickler.
Jeez.
I tell you what.
Go find us some more dog videos, there’s a good chap.
Off you go.
I thought his comments involved those countries involved in the Abraham Accords.
All the best frolicking for the new job.
There seems to be a lot of bad stuff happening this year than other years.
Glad you landed on your feet.

FMD!
You are trolling.

Stop worrying about penises and cute owls, and focus on the big story I posted. The lawyerists have put together a class action against the drug company because it wasn’t quick enough releasing the drug into the market.

No.
No, I’m not trolling. I have no idea who he is. I’ll google him.
It’s not that I’d never heard of him in the past. I couldn’t recall who he was.

All this talk of the stock market crashing does not make sense – the yr end results are strong.
Everyone is now talking about blue sky esp with unemployment so low.
Mind you the low unemployment is creating constraints on businesses esp small businesses. The only thing I can see happening is small businesses packing up and bigger businesses getting bigger.
Then there is regulation. The killer of business and innovation.
They going to put a statue up of the Matildas at Suncorp stadium. FMD they came 4th.
Matildas penalty shot out with France will be on an eternal loop.
The headlines in the Sun will be something to behold and will no doubt trigger the lowest point in Spanish-English relations since Henry Vee-One-One-One kicked Catherine of Aragon out of the cot.
Mole,
good luck.
Okay. He sounds like he’s talking about the entire money shit show across the Mid East.
So far as I can gather this is what Vivek said:
Again, I really don’t see how this a problem and certainly not a deal breaker.
Still with hindsight the new HR alien thanking our previous RM for his 13 years work ( which he found out was ceasing when someone spotted it posted on Seek) but then naming the wrong mine site doesn’t inspire confidence in their revamped team.

More wank. At least you are not calling it a “vaccine”. This Big-Pharma muck was not indented for good health. Company heads should be be put up a wall and shot.
The English and sports.
The last time they beat the Spanish at anything it was only because Sir Francis Drake was so shit at bowls that he took all day to finish a game, by which time the tides were more favourable.
Err.
Yes.

The US economy appears to be really strong. Here’s the problem.
Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow prediction is that real GDP will come in at around 5.8% Add in the inflation rate of just around 3% and we’re talking about 8.8% nominal GDP? That’s too high for the Fed and they will continue to tighten policy until the economy hits the skids. They want nominal to be lower than 5%
Just this week, markets are appearing to price in more rate hikes.
ABCcess breathlessly spelunking Elbows bowels about a tripling of “ investment” in girls sports.
Investing like the last punter on Senior Ponzis pyramid scheme.

You think 4 years is enough to demonstrate good will on the Arab side when the largest country in the middle east is a potentially unstable dictatorship? Jordan doesn’t like the accord either.
It’s been a permanent war atmosphere in the mid east since 1948 and you think 4 years is enough to demonstrate a will for peace? How about the US cuts all aid to the Arabs and leaves Israel where it is, seeing it wants to be left in peace.
Tickler, stop it with the execution demands as there’s been enough here.
Good luck Mole
