The ABN (Australian Business Number) was registered over 18 years ago, in 2002.
When applying for an ABN, the source of income is not required.
When registering a business name, there is no obligation to trade.
The business name Don't Walk Past was registered to protect the website domain. No bank account was opened for Don't Walk Past, and no financial transactions took place.
The travel agency "Travel Bird" serviced travellers requiring specialised, complex, or custom-made international travel itineraries.
Brown's statement was false and is currently the subject of a Civil Defamation case in the Supreme Court of Qld.
The temporary opening of domestic borders was (and remains) immaterial to the Travel Bird business, which has been (and will continue to be) sustained by retained company earnings and assets, Federal Government business and income support, and income from Company investments and alternative businesses.
(Travel Bird is a member of the BAWF Investments Pty Ltd group of businesses, owned by the LNP opponent.)
Travel Bird was (and remains) a financially viable agency, and retains its National Travel Agency Accreditation (ATAS) which includes vetting for financial solvency by the Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA).

JOBS: Pre-Covid, QLD had the highest unemployment of any state in Australia. In October, QLD still has the highest unemployment, beating Victoria which had been in lockdown for months at the time.
HEALTH: Surgery waiting list blow-outs were highlighted in a campaign run by the Courier Mail in December 2019. Pre-Covid, they had increased by 86% under Labor. Ambulance ramping had reached record levels.
EDUCATION: Naplan shows QLD kids came last in every subject, at every year level. QLD Teachers Union now wants to remove Naplan.
