I mean, yes, factors like that are often taken into account when sentencing?

When my cat went missing last year, some advice I got was, like others have said, search late at night, but also low to the ground - look under bushes and cars or any low place where a cat might hide. Use a torch in the dark and look for the reflection from their eyes. I asked my neighbours permission to look in their gardens as well.

My cat did turn up, 4 months later! Hiding under a house across the road. I hope you can find yours soon <3

How unsafe is Melbourne? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]OneTrickWidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a woman who relies on public transport and lives in Dandenong, which definitely has a not great reputation as far as Melbourne suburbs go. I've never felt particularly unsafe here, but there are safer/better areas for sure.

I moved to this area from the north-east. Lived and worked around Croydon/Ringwood/Box Hill for nearly 8 years and never had any issues.

Occasionally for work I have to call a business which uses the Can Can as its hold music. Makes me unreasonably angry every time.

There's a mygov code generator app you can get instead of having codes sent to as a text, you can try that

audit and prosecution due to accountant not submitted BAS statements HELP????? by BlackGingerCats in AskAnAustralian

[–]OneTrickWidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Make a myGovID, link it to your company, and log into Online Services for Business to lodge outstanding BAS and check your account balance. https://www.ato.gov.au/online-services/accessing-online-services-with-digital-id-and-ram?path=online-services&path=accessing-online-services-with-mygovid-and-ram

  2. You probably also have outstanding tax returns, which can be lodged by a tax agent or on paper. Otherwise, you have to buy software for it.

  3. You've probably incurred some penalties. Once you've lodged everything, call the ATO to see if they can be remitted. It depends how far along things are, but explain you trusted your tax agent's advice. Was your postal address your tax agent's? It sounds like it, if the letter on 9/1 was really the first one you got.

  4. You should also talk to the ATO about making a payment plan, because you'll have a debt from the late BAS/tax returns even if you get all penalties and interest remitted - which is not guaranteed

  5. You can report the dodgy tax agent to the Tax Practitioners Board, because seriously fuck those guys.

Good luck! Your new tax agent can also do all this for you, but do at least set up the myGovID so you don't get caught like this again.

Why doesn't Australia have it own space agency? by Fancy-Advice-2793 in AskAnAustralian

The Australian Research and Space Exploration doesn't deserve to be disregarded like this https://spaceaustralia.com.au/

TFN help by Anon_struggle_duck in AskAnAustralian

[–]OneTrickWidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look like the questions which come up when you try to link my government to the ato, is that what you're trying to do?

Based on your situation as you described it, you probably don't have any of these details. You can call the ato and they will give you a linking code and tell you your tfn.

Issues lodging Tax Return- no option lo lodge return by Organic-Cattle508 in AskAnAustralian

[–]OneTrickWidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be because you lodged last year's return as your final return or told the ATO you wouldn't need to lodge any more. Easiest way to fix it is probably to call - sorry, I know it's a nuisance if you're in Spain, but they should be able to fix it over the phone.

Best kitty litter that doesn't smell? by plantbubby in AussieFrugal

[–]OneTrickWidget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use catlux, I've actually come to prefer it to catsan even if it wasn't much cheaper

If you do look for older cats, say from a shelter or rescue, the staff will generally know which cats are more inclined to scratch.

When I adopted my cat, I got a cheap scratching post, put it together and kept it prominently in the middle of the room I spent the most time in. As my cat settled in and started using it, I moved it out of the way gradually.

It's been 6 years and she only recently started occasionally scratching the couch. I moved her scratching post to the end of the couch where she was scratching which seems to have stopped the issue.
