Yep, that name checks out as having an ABN.

I'll say. When ATO starts surprise market inspections and releases stats
on how many are actually legit and paying their taxes and not selling
dodgy gear, then I'll apply the tomato sauce to my hat and start eating
it.
Of course, if the markets want to really start convincing people they
aren't turning a blind eye to anyone who pays the fee, then they can ask
for display of business rego and ABN certificates.
I have shopped at the markets and received receipts in three different
business names from the one business, but yes, there are some who use
the markets as extra shop front.
