That's what I just said above.  Assuming "Joe Bloggs" is your name
of course.

BTW, in NSW it only needs to be renewed every 3 years (I think),
last I heard at a cost of about $75.  Getting into a business is
very cheap.  It's only wankers on power trips, creating a company
that costs a lot.  BFN.  Paul.
