[plug] The Australian Business Registry

[Rowan Sutherland]

Unfortunately, I've noticed this with other Government Portals as well.

It makes me very angry.

I commend you for taking action.

Sir/Madam

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to access your site to apply for an ABN. 
I'm sure it must fall dangerously close to a "restrictive trade 
practice" to REQUIRE all businesses in Australia to use substandard, 
buggy, virus and hacker-prone, insecure proprietary software to be able 
to apply on-line for an ABN.  I use both Linux and OS/2 and I use a 
current Mozilla browser in both operating systems.  Even if I did use 
the afforementioned spyware magnet, I'd use Mozilla!  When is this 
extremely annoying bad programming practise planned to be rectified?

Sincerely yours
Kev Downes

Perhaps others might join the bandwagon with me and aggitate for change.

Cheers
Kev

Windows isn't the answer. Windows is the question. The answer is NO! I
use, recommend and support OS/2 Warp and eComStation.
