Erm, that would appear to be a US site. Not sure there's much point
registering Aussie phone numbers there...

erm, partly right......read the press... I expect they have some US
support for this as the US serive is a morror set up, , but we now
have an Aussie number service..., so want to try again.

You get 7 days to validate your reg'n after you set it up, so if the
server is busy, try later.

here is todays news from 2GB online :http://tinyurl.com/24yhgk

and the link to the site

'www.donotcall.gov.au'('http://www.donotcall.gov.au'
(http://www.donotcall.gov.au/))

The exclusions list makes it pretty useless, unfortunately.
I'm happy that commercial entities selling stuff (time share, property,
new energy billing blah blah blah) are in the firing line...

I'm unlisted at home and get calls every night from some character
selling mobile phone connections from Mumbai or Time Share or offering
a free holiday to attend a Neg gearing Seminar opportunity...good old
Bayside, just the perfect demographic filled phone area for high call
hit rates for these annoying organisations . They arnt on the
exceptions list...

sure they will all now say "Oh we are doing research?"...but tuff,
anything that is a wedge wins....and I expect there will be cases down
the track where callers who are not legit exemptions just might get a
federal prosecution...cool by me!

From thunderhead alliance (www.thunderheadalliance.org/completestreets.htm:)

"Any street that serves only some modes at the safety expense of others is
incomplete."

I can agree with that. I'd like to see the RTA adopt it as a motto. Then
they could start saying to each other "He's a complete street" as some sort
of compliment, or he is one lane short of a complete street, etc...

Any way, time Wheels of Justice took it up, and BV, BFA, etc. Great idea,
wider and more inclusive than "Bike Friendly Communities" or "the road is
there to share" and other campaigns. One problem may be that it might just
be used for "prettying up" urban main streets with cafes and angle parking
and slow points etc but not really making them much better for cyclists. It
needs to be applied to arterial roads and freeways as well.

I take it that you are not familiar with the normal Federal government
