Happy new financial year, GrodsReaders! Hope everyone’s hangovers are manageable today after last night’s festivities. I had a pretty quiet one this time around so, being the dutiful Australian citizen I am, I woke up bright and early this morning ready to do my tax so I could send the Australian government any extra money that I might owe it without delay. After brewing a coffee and digging out my receipts and other tax detritus I logged onto the Australian Tax Office website to download the convenient e-tax software. Being a Mac user I was acutely aware that use of e-tax has been limited to PC Windows users since its launch, but I was sure that in 2009 a government department couldn’t still be refusing to support close to 10% of computer users.

It is.

And as it has been promising to do for the past few years (with fingers crossed behind its back), the ATO says it will still “continue investigating [making] e-tax available to different computer platforms.” What complete bullshit, I say. And as Craig would say, “It is the yeah two thousands!”

Word.
