I expected it to fail, like all the government sites do - took 3 goes to do my tax return this year because of the ATO site being overwhelmed. But as mentioned, 23/9 is the actual deadline

I expected it to fail too, which is why I did it first thing this morning.

After 20+ tries online, over several hours, I gave up and went down the old fashioned path of pen and paper.

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster didn't fit for Religion, so I compromised and put down Pastafarian. Am hoping this out-polls Jedi this time.

We did it the old analogue way, paper that is, with a pen There is only few questions to answer. My main gripe is that all it is is getting the peasants to do the bureaucrats work for them. It is just collating data that they already have but is in different departments. Tax has our earnings., Vic roads has how many vehicles we own etc etc. Should send them a bill for my time.

What a disaster.... We all completed the form on line and then the system went down and everything was lost. 2 hrs later I still can't get on and family have gone their seperate ways.

Memo to self insist they paper next time

At 11am it took me all of 15 minutes to fill in the Q's online for our 3 family members. Some of the info I entered might not be 100.00% accurate but my care factor is not particularly high...

And the questions refer to what would normally happen at your residence, so hiding in a far flung creek bed for the night doesn't actually change anything.

Media reports say it a massive crash and many people annoyed.
Just a total schemozzle. And they claim they can protect our data from hackers. As if...

The ABS System crashed
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!
You could see that coming

Which is why I chose the paper option.
Nothing worse than online forms failing then having to start over from the start.

The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Hey, just a minute , I'm using a keyboard for this message.
Damn, there goes another theory.
