Australian Government Do-not-Call List

with 3 comments

In light of the recent shenanigans of AMEX, its time to list my num­bers in the “Do-not-Call List”

URL to register: http://www.donotcall.gov.au/

As per the Government’s web site:

Will it stop all tele­market­ing calls?

Regis­ter­ing your tele­phone num­ber on the Do Not Call Register will not stop all tele­market­ing calls to your num­ber. There are some exemp­tions which enable cer­tain pub­lic interest organ­isa­tions to make tele­market­ing calls. Exempt organ­isa­tions include char­it­ies, reli­gious organ­isa­tions and registered polit­ical parties. You can also still receive calls from mar­ket researchers.

Hmm. I’ll still get push-polling recor­ded calls from politi­cians, and people ask­ing for “mar­ket research”. All I want is no fricken’ calls from people I don’t know, fullstop.

Now, the site is broken and melt­ing down. Ooops, Cold­fu­sion just went hot. Dear web­mas­ters: always over­es­tim­ate the stresses on your sites. (Fixed at around midday.)
