The ATO forgives debts all the time.

I've gotten them to do so for clients on a few occasions.

Hmmmmmmm. Really. Is your email address zakar@gmail.com

Just asking for a friend of course.

Re: Do you work from home?

Its really only some jobs that allow it. Im lucky enough to do one that does.

Whenever I travel, and that is probably 40% of the time, I am in the office.

Re: China vs Taiwan Official Match thread

Yeah have to agree that China don't need boots on the ground. They have a massive navy and airforce. They can ring the island and basically siege it. However I don't think China really wants to annex Taiwan at the moment. THey are happy with the status quo. No major power actually recognizes Taiwan...

Protesting normally involves groups of people marching, chanting and carrying banners. Not individuals walking in the street. Unless you count just looking Jewish as being in itself a protest.
