ATO - Do I have a business?

I am considering getting a tax ruling to clarify things. Because I have a hobby from a real life perspective but it looks like a business in the virtual world.

So how real is virtual?
Ask them how to figure it with a variable transfer rate.

Since the transfer rate is variable much like stock prices, how do they plan to convert it to taxible.

And will they take payment in lindens.
