I dunno about that. MyGov isn’t the greatest example, but Australia has multiple vast databases talking to each other across immigration, visa compliance, criminal intelligence, selective national security data, customs, education and I think even tax data is rolled in there - plus permitting selective legislated reporting uploads from various public and private sectors. Combined it forms the largest complex data gathering system in the Southern Hemisphere. It is hugely protected, never goes down at all in a decade and a half of my dealings with it and is to date hack resistant (so far as anyone is aware).dude if you think Australia is capable of doing this right you have no idea about how Aus Government IT "functions"
we'd chuck it all in mygov, something that was designed with centerlink in mind and nothing else, oh and that the government outsources most of the work on...
myGov is a 'huge disappointment,' key architect despairs
A key architect of myGov says he “despairs” at the lack of progress on the platform and that the outsourcing of the development of a new version to private consultants was a “huge mistake”. Labor last weekend promised to launch an audit of the myGov program if it wins the looming federal...www.innovationaus.com
We can do it. It would mean going away from the MyGov platform though, as I doubt it is fit for purpose
just because we don’t, doesn’t mean we can’t
we don't want to
MyyGove isn't even fit for the purposes it is currently being used for.
My Gov is horrid, but various of the linked systems within are fine. Taxation and fiscal data is gold standard in Australia, and depends on application uploads from individuals and businesses. A vastly complex system which self audits and regulates, and is stratospherically more user friendly for things like tax return applications then any form based manual system prior. It’s not beyond the capacity of Australia to create an effective online voting system. Would cost less than nuclear subs too.we don't want to
the cost of doing it properly is prohibitive
and it's also something that is much more public, specific and easy to target than what you're talking about, whether to hack it or ddos it

But it is a cash cow for consulting companies and we know how they love to come up with new ways to get more money
The Coalition at least realised that we tax income too heavily, but neither party has the appetite to properly fix the tax system.
we need more tax brackets going higher upThe Coalition at least realised that we tax income too heavily, but neither party has the appetite to properly fix the tax system.
We need to cut the top personal tax rate, cut the corporate tax rate for large multinationals to be competitive with the rest of the OECD, and raise the GST
Australia must switch to the right tax mix
Australia’s complex and distorting tax system is a mess because it lacks a first tax principles approach to raising revenue as simply and efficiently as possible, and at the least cost to the economy.www.afr.com
I work with the immigration / education database which is dependent on businesses reporting daily - so it has a public interface and has to be useable for any number of randoms stinking it up. I reckon it can be done if there is an appetite for it. Fraud prevention and detection is a biggie, but fraud can infiltrate our existing system anyway.
Agreed many of the services are below standard. I suck it up until action is taken cos one alternative is privatisation with all the associated pitfalls.
I agree with this
Multinationals don't pay tax - cutting their rate is irrelevant.The Coalition at least realised that we tax income too heavily, but neither party has the appetite to properly fix the tax system.

How many people on the top personal tax rate actually pay that rate on everything they earn?The Coalition at least realised that we tax income too heavily, but neither party has the appetite to properly fix the tax system.

You will see less profit shifting if you have a more reasonable corporate tax rate
This is a less progressive tax system.The Coalition at least realised that we tax income too heavily, but neither party has the appetite to properly fix the tax system.

Use an unreliable, slow, easily hacked system that the government could use to link vote to name pretty easily?
