Rant on
Got a letter today from the Australian Bureau of Statistics stating that I must take part in a ‘Business Characteristics Survey’
I have to go online and complete a survey. They estimate that it should only take 45 minutes
I will also have to do this survey once a year for the next five years
This is bulls***
Australian government, you want me to fill in a survey, my time is valuable, how about a little $$$?
This is a complete waste of my time, there is nothing in this for me or my business. The government (local, state, federal)(labor, liberal) do not give a shit about small business. There are no policies to help us, just rules and regulations
ABS, kiss my hairy ….
Peeved small business owner
Rant off

Think it might be the same one I had to do Pete.. took about 10 mins all up and just asked about business confidence in the current market. I told them it had all turned to shit.. end of survey
-
I have done 10 questions out of 60
what was my turnover for the year ? (how would I know, tax return is not due for a few months)
what was your expenditure for the year?
how do these answers compare to last year? (now I have to wade through last years tax return, if I can find it)
-
Surely they can get that info from the ATO!
-
What letter ?
A survey ? Never saw anything in the mail unless it included a cheque. #@#

I'm deeply offended and so are 13.6218524796% of the Australian population or was it 13.621841257%. Maybe we can take a survey to see how many you have offended. Can I count you in to take the survey Pete?

The only people you might offend are govt workers like -
Aust Taxation Office
Police
Court system
Health Inspectors
Child welfare
And the list goes on.....
Can't see any possible downsides to upsetting any of these people. NOT. Lol @.@

Federal, not state

And don't Federal Govt people's have more power than state ?
More reason not to tell them they suck. Lol
