So the ABN provided on

How will that help? Jetstar has an ABN yet still takes your money, cancels
your flight, and refuses refunds even AFTER being told by DFT to do so! Pity

I think to have an Australian registered domain name .com.au, .net.au,
and even .org.au you must have a registered company or ABN .org.au has
to have an organisation registration number.


This web site if you notice is not Australian register but just a dot
com site.

I'm not in favor of using an company operating in Australia that is not
registered here.

Well spotted. For good measure, the company whose name is given is in
the process of being struck off.

On offence against

Registered Business Name. The domain name should be an exact match,
acronym or abbreviation of the domain name sought or is a close and

The id.au domain name must be exactly match of the registrant's

or be an acronym or abbreviation of the registrant? personal name;
or be otherwise closely and substantially connected to the registrant,
because the domain name:

Mostly leftard. If they ever managed to monopolize the internet through

would see how Greens-Labor could do no wrong and how not a single

That's right, there has been no scientific study anywhere since then that

Apart from the vital research into "Tin Hats", which too many people in
this country seem to need otherwise the "Gummint" will read their minds
and sell the contents to the "World Gummint" that is apparently coming to
take over all our lives.

Not only is this entirely irrelevant, yourformal.com.au points to a
similar page.
Numbers are the same, but the .au page appears more refined.

But yes, the ABN lookup is certainly dodgy. Cancelled in 2006, but
still quoting the number on their web pages (Something in legislation
for that isn't there?).
