The title says it all and the website is https://www.donotcall.gov.au/

I am so happy about this. I wonder if it can be policed or if it is just hopeful?

That would be nice if it did work. Optus is the worst offender in my household. I got so sick of them calling with deals, I went over to telstra.
lol, it's a bit slow at loading at the moment with 20 million people trying to get on at once. :)

People are such idiots though, they'll put their names on the do not call register, and then go out and sign their name all willy-nilly in a shopping centre raffle for a car or a fridge, and bang, they've signed themselves back on to a list that will get called soon enough by an Indian with a fake Australian accent. Read the fine print kiddies. How do they think the car or fridge was paid for?

edit: I think the site suffered a DoS attack.

The Do Not Call Register is currently experiencing very high demand, thank you for your patience.
I will miss being able to put the phone on loud speaker and hear someone from China saying "Hello? Are you there? Hello? Hello? Hello?" until they eventually hang up.
The telemarketers seem to have given up on my place......for the time being.

If they start up again i'll register.
be careful about puting your name and details on this list, you'd only want to do it if you've been really bugged. the baddies would love to get hold of it to be even more bothersome.
