	Audit Report - Administration of the Payment of Tax by Non-Residents
		The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) found that it is efficient to integrate the administration of residents and non-residents under strategies and activities undertaken at a business line or whole-of-market level for each market segment.
		Australian tax legislation generally provides a sound framework for non-residents to comply with their Australian tax obligations.
		Non-residents may choose to do business in Australia in a number of ways, for example by using an Australian resident company, operating through the permanent establishment of a non-resident company or operating without a permanent establishment, or a fixed presence, in Australia.

	Crikey - Yoursay on Centenary House rort
		Fact 1: The Centenary House/Australian National Audit Office deal was a rort.
		The Howard Government is trying to make the notorious leasing of Labor's national head office, Centenary House in Barton, to the National Audit Office, a political liability but there's quite a debate going on about whether this really matters or not.
		If Centenary House is left as a running sore for Labor, in a tight election, it could make all the difference- just as 1500 voters scattered around the country once did for Paul Keating.

	PM - Defence slammed over troop carrier delay
		MARK COLVIN: The Australian National Audit Office has slammed the Defence Department for dragging its feet over a decade-old order to upgrade the army's troop carriers.
		NEIL JAMES: Troops from 5/7 RAR (Royal Australian Regiment), the army's only mechanised infantry battalion, had to actually borrow vehicles from the cavalry to go to Iraq, and they're working in Iraq only with LAVs (light armoured vehicles), because their own M-113 APCs just aren't capable of modern battle.
		The Australian Defence Association says one result is that Australian soldiers in Iraq don't have the armour they should have had years ago.

	The Mercury: Latham shrugs on Centenary House (archived)
		The Government has long criticised the long-term rent contract for office space at ALP's headquarters Centenary House, leased by the Australian National Audit Office.
		The 15-year deal includes a guaranteed rental increase of nine per cent a year, which now makes the office rental some of the most expensive office space in Australia.
		Mr Abbott said the royal commission found commercial rent returns near Centenary House were set to rise at about nine per cent a year, when rents had grown only at between two and three per cent a year.

		Given the unresolved difficulties I would be loathed to allow Land Councils to get further access to funds from the Aboriginals Benefit Account.

		Australian taxpayers are now paying more for the ANAO's space in Centenary House - $873 per square metre - than landlords in the heart of Manhattan are receiving.
		The Acting Prime Minister, John Anderson, said the swindling of taxpayers through the renting of space at the ALP's Centenary House in Canberra should be Mr Latham's first target if he really wants to lead a "morally acceptable" party.
