[LINK] ATO still to sell ABN's for $20 [was Re: VP Gore policy speech on privacy

[stewart carter]

Linkers,

Despite the rap on the knuckles by the Privacy Commissioner over the gift 
of 10,000 ABNs to Dun & Bradstreet, as far
as I am aware the ATO has not abandoned the plans confirmed by Commissioner 
Michael Carmody recently to make ABN extracts, including email and postal 
addresses available for $20 each.

Is anyone aware of when, how or under what terms and conditions these 
extracts will be made available. Enquiries to the ATO on this question last 
week were fruitless....
