What do these things have in common:
MyGov
Centrelink
COVIDsafe
ATO
Census
Websites and apps that have suffered multiple catastrophic failures because the LNP is utterly incompetent when it comes to digital services (run from Stuart& #39;s laptop with a 4G dongle) https://twitter.com/AlanTudgeMP/status/1317255765262958592">https://twitter.com/AlanTudge...

@AlanTudgeMP are you sure you want to task this to someone who runs around screeching that government websites are under attack because he has no idea about capacity and expected traffic? https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/my-bad-minister-apologises-for-mygov-hack-claim-20200324-p54dau">https://www.afr.com/politics/...
The LNP seem to have a policy of claiming attack when it& #39;s simply unprepared. When you consider that a sudden surge in people trying to access a website will be basically indistinguishable from a DDOS attack, it really highlights why ministers should https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-08/census-chiefs-unprepared-for-website-crash-foi-documents-show/8333970">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017...
have some qualification related to, or basic knowledge about their portfolio.
If we look at these two issues alone, we& #39;re going to see that cutting corners and trying to save money on digital capacity is insane when dealing with systems in times of a) crisis, and b) demand.

The federal government& #39;s own COVIDsafe app has been proven to not only be useless, but also open to hacking and use by people to spy and stalk on people who have it installed. https://www.crikey.com.au/2020/05/07/flaws-inconsistencies-covidsafe/">https://www.crikey.com.au/2020/05/0...
No wonder Dutton& #39;s office was salivating over the prospect of using it as surveillance, until the government refused them access... well, sort of, because under the Five Eyes agreement, it could still access it by requesting through the US https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-28/covidsafe-tracing-app-data-may-not-be-protected-from-usa/12189372">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020...
Which is a solution without a problem, especially given that next to nobody actually has the app active on their phones.
Thank you for coming along to my explanation on why the LNP implementation of digital systems is a clusterfuck of incompetence.
