The Government Is Spending $200M On 'Enhancing' myGov

Published May 11, 2021
The Australian government wants to throw $200.1 million at developing an “an enhanced myGov,” which could either be amazing and long-overdue news, or an outrageous waste of money on more of the same.
This little tidbit was tossed into the 2021-22 Budget among other, more serious measures like the $2.3 billion mental healthcare package and the $1.1 billion put towards women’s safety.
Sure, a massive cash injection might just be what it takes to fix such a janky (and intimidating) online portal, but the fact that it’s so awful in the first place doesn’t make us particularly hopeful.

The Morrison government kept demanding money from some of the poorest Australians even after it knew its robo-debt scheme was fundamentally faulty because it had not kept a record of which purported debts were generated through the bungled program.
A report from the Commonwealth Ombudsman released quietly on Tuesday said public servants manually identified 525,648 debts raised on unlawful grounds through the robo-debt program, about 50,000 more than the government confessed in May last year.

While that process was happening from November 2019 until at least May 2020, the government continued to pursue people who had purported debts if they had not yet been identified as a robo-debt, causing a “high risk” it was chasing debts with no legal basis.
