This is what happens when proper research into exactly what they want the database to do is not done before declaring they are building one.

 

There are other state registries (databases) that are functioning "reasonably" well in this sector, so why couldn't they look at modelling based on one of those?

 

It's not actually rocket science, but there are some small intricacies that need sorting out before attempting to build such a database from scratch.

 

Quite frankly, I think that a national registry/database is needed rather than different states all doing different things in this sphere - and none of them talk to each other.

EXACTLY

 

Its one country, ONE DATA BASE 

but then pollies have not given us a lot of confidence about their intelligence

 

except when it comes to taking good care of themselves

 

the latest decision to tax super.  so much for having already paid your tax.

 

now in additions they are intended to tax any increase in value of your land,   in the case of farmland farmers could be facing over $100,000 in tax, based solely on how much the value of the family farm has risen the previous tax year?????  they will be taxed on the value its risen?  yet they have in fact made nothing from that. unless the sell the property???   so farms been in the family for generations will have to be sold to pay the extra tax, that's the only way it can be paid since the west is in such drought stock are being sold for next to nothing as they cant feed them anymore. so no income to pay tax on but now have to pay tax on paper value????   

so the corporations can buy for a song, overseas companies can buy for a song and of course our farmland is gone from the families on the land to corporations who of course our pollie's are happy that they pay no tax because our pollies drafted the laws so they and their accountants dont pay tax  do they?    either be HUGE, preferably foreign owned  or they will tax you into homelessness

 

what a great nation australia is not....  anymore

ah so the idea is to track black market puppy farmers?????

 

hullo

what part of the majority of dogs impounded ARE NOT MICROCHIPPED will they ever realise?

 

how can  they "track" un chipped dogs or cats?

 

when two of my puppies were stolen years ago.

 

unknown to the thief both were already vaccinated and chipped.

 

one i got back within days, found wandering a six lane highway. rescued and scanned by a local vet.

 

the second I spotted advertise for sale on gumtree. the lady had bought her from an online sale site, she was told she was neither vaccinated nor chipped. considering she paid 500 for a pup normally worth over 2500 she bought her.

 

the reason she was advertised 5 months later she was being transferred back to japan.  (I recognised my puppy Fire, because of her unusual markings....  

 

the disturbing part was this lady had not taken  her to a vet to be vaccinated or microchipped because she considered she didn't need to be as she lived in an apartment and could not get lost....

 

She sure got a shock when I ran the scanner over her and showed her the chip no.

 

think on that.

 

 

how many are the same?

 

well the figures for all the unchipped dogs turning up at the pounds shows a vast number of people dont care a fig about microchipping and probably vaccination either

 

 

how many DECADES has it been law now???????????

There's stacks of free chipping days around Sydney, but people don't take it up. I believe many fear the steep rego bills that come in afterwards. Particularly if their pet is entire.
Once the unchipped pet is roaming and picked up, the fees for impound reclaim are even higher.
So the pounds are chock full of med-lge breeds that people got cheap or free, didn't vetwork, possibly bred from and aren't reclaiming. It's awful.

Or the chip is blank.

Or it leads to someone who says they gave their pet away and don't remember who to.

It currently is a system with so many holes in it that you could drive a tank through it and no one would notice!
