A good attempt by the Australian Govenment to put its services online, is somewhat spoiled by the lack of 24hr access.
To work as a contracter in Australia an ABN ( Australian Business Number ) is required, you can apply for these online, which is amazingly unbureaucratic.
But, and there is allways a but with the Public Service, the website appears to be available during business hours only, outside of that I get no response.
Maybe I'm being cruel, but I can just imagine the site running on IIS on some public servants desktop PC which is turned on at 9.30am and off at 5.00pm :-)
