In order to answer this question, you would need to provide some additional information in order to determine if the circumstances were contemplated by the contract.
In addition, it will be difficult to determine if it is covered by the contract without first having a look at the clauses that relate to extensions of time or delay costs. These are likely to be the clauses that relate to the builder taking additional time to complete the project.

ABN stands for Australian Business Number and means that you are registered as part of the Australian Business Register (ABR) which is maintained by the Australian Taxation Office. The underlying purpose of an ABN is to allow for one single identification number for a company when it deals with government departments and agencies.

ACN stands for Australian Company Number which are issued by the Australian Securities& Investments Commission (ASIC). When a company registers under corporations law, it is issued an ACN.

Whereas an ABN has 9 digits, an ACN has 11.

A police officer is required to give their name, rank and station if you ask for that information. If you were being searched or the police officer first asked you for your name and address but then refused to provide his identity, he may be guilty of an offence and receive a fine. This is not something that you could personally sue the police officer for. You would need to make a formal complaint about the officer who would then be investigated by the appropriate authorities. More broadly, you have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, to be in public places with whomever you want, to participate in public life, and to freely express yourself. The police are not allowed to unreasonably or disproportionately interfere with these human rights by harassing or abusing you, or using physical violence against you. From the information you have provided, it sounds like the police officer may have breached one or more of your human rights by acting abusively towards you at the protest.

An ABN (Australian Business Number) is a unique identifying number issued to businesses in Australia. You can obtain an ABN if you are "carrying on an enterprise" in Australia.

If you send someone an invoice but do not supply an ABN then they are usually required to withhold tax from the payment to you. The amount they withhold is normally about half of the invoice amount.

The tax office provides a good overview of what constitutes carrying on an enterprisefor the purpose of getting an ABN. Normally if you are carrying on an enterprise you should get an ABN.

Your ABN is published together with your legal name and postcode on the Australian Business Register. You need an ABN:

• in order to register a business name;
• to register for GST (which you are normally required to do if you have a turnover exceeding $75,000 a year); and
• in order to have invoices paid without tax being withheld by the payer.

Your ABN should be placed on most business documents, for example contracts, invoices and receipts.
