Reprogramming with a large, sharp axe.

Somebody needs to do this for the Australian Business Register web site.

“Help” on the forms for registering for an Australian Business Number and GST can be “if yes, click yes”. Oh really… I thought i’d just click ‘no’ when I really meant ‘yes’.

Plus, it can ask you all sorts of strange questions that befuddle the reader if they have no real idea on the fine details of australian taxation law (i have no such knowledge, and don’t care for it).

And they have a field in the form – “declaration completion date”. which is, (from the help) “The declaration field records the date the application is completed.”.

I’d like to know why they can’t auto-complete that field. Today is probably a safe bet.

On the brighter side of life – talking to someone at ING Direct was a lot more pleasurable.

and one more thing…. the ‘Exit’ button at the end of the ABN process doesn’t work. I’ll never get out now! NOOOOOOO!
