  1. Day 3 done - for us. The hearing in my #myGov Code Generator app #FOI case will wrap with a closed session, following examination of Prof Vanessa Teague and of me. Closing submissions to be in writing in a few weeks. It went as well as we could have hoped - maybe better! Thanks to all my supporters, and my legal team Jason, EJ and Tom.

  2. Day 3 of 3 in the #myGov app source code #FOI hearing. Prof Vanessa Teague will give evidence at 10am, and I will be after Vanessa. Contact [email protected] and cite case 2025/4916 to request a link to join by videoconf (I am not 100% sure if they are offering that, but you can ask!). Or if you're in Melbourne, you can come in person: L5 15 William St.

  3. Day two in the #myGov Code Generator source code #FOI review. Most of the day was a closed session cross-examining Mr McDonald (I and my representatives were excluded). The Tribunal assumes the role of the applicant in closed sessions. We were able to submit questions for the Tribunal to ask on our behalf, which they did.

    The fact that the closed session ran so long reflects the technical nature of the matter and large volume of evidence. Perhaps it also suggests that the Respondent does not have an "ace in the hole" that makes the outcome a foregone conclusion.

    Late afternoon we returned to open session. Dr Peter Serwylo gave evidence and was cross-examined in relation to the "counterfeiting" risk (which, per his evidence and common sense, exists regardless of the availability of source code).

    We resume at 10am tomorrow with Professor Vanessa Teague to be examined first, then me. Closing submission are to be in writing and filed after the hearing (exact timeline TBD).

  4. Day one of my #myGov source code #FOI hearing is over. Today consisted of opening statements, then examination in chief and open cross-examination of Mr Garrett McDonald, CISO and General Manager Cyber Security at Services Autralia. I am pleased with how things went today. Due respect to Mr McDonald, who endured a gruelling and protracted cross-examination.

    The Tribunal for my matter is constituted by Deputy President Dordevic (presiding), Deputy President Roushan and Deputy President O'Donovan. They are on the ball; very impressive how quickly they are getting across a highly technical case and discerning the critical questions of fact.

    Tomorrow starts with a closed session to receive further evidence from Mr McDonald. I am excluded; the Tribunal will ask questions on my behalf. Open session from 2pm in which my expert witnesses will give evidence - first Dr Peter Serwylo then Prof Vanessa Teague.

    Thanks to my legal eagles Jason, EJ and Tom, and all my supporters. Follow along at openmygov.au/.

  5. An important case about source code transparency will be heard by the Administrative Review Tribunal this week in Melbourne. Fraser Tweedale (@hackuador) is seeking access to the Code Generator app's source code.

    Information about the hearing and how you can support Fraser is available here: openmygov.au/posts/2026-08-31-

    Full disclosure: Linux Australia awarded Fraser a $5,000 grant to help with the legal costs of this review, in line with our commitments to open technology.

  7. Oh MyGov, why dost thou suck so much?

    Important message in your #MyGov inbox!

    Sigh.

    Goes through rigmarole. Gets up to find phone— 2FA.

    TWO messages! But ahahaha! There's an error. Inboxes unavailable. Refresh. No change. Go back. Inbox! 🤷‍♂️ Yes, yes, I know someone just logged in. 🤦‍♂️ Second message. Important attachment from Medicare. Download to read, because obviously that's more convenient than on screen.

    "You may be eligible for free vaccines"—I got out of bed for that? Come ON!

  8. @mattrobertson
    I got a warning of that about a week ago. They told me they've disabled my ability to log in with email and ????.

    Curious as to how this could be happening.

    Wondering what those high CPU-load shopping sites have actually been doing on my computer while my fan whirrs at maximum.

    Edit: Maybe a lot of folk use the same password across all their internet accounts.

    How Anthony Albanese's government, & others, are failing Australians by wasting their time and putting unneeded stress on them.

    MyGov website.

    I need to have ID verified in person at a Centrelink office.
    I seek to make an appointment.
    I find and follow the instructions:
    Sign in to myGov.
    Select MENU from your homepage.
    Select Documents and appointments, then Appointments and Manage appointments.

    No "Menu" is on the MyGov page.

  19. I made an #FOI request to learn more about the #myGov Code Generator app retirement (roadmaps, tickets, etc). Services Australia neither confirms nor denies the existence of such documents, because if they did exist (they surely do), they would be exempt as release could prejudice my ART proceeding to get the source code.

    Decision letter: righttoknow.org.au/request/144

    This is a little bit 🌶️ . A possible interpretation is that they think the public knowing WHY they retired it could harm their case.

    Still digesting it all. New FOI Act 1982 sections unlocked. I think I need some sort of Achievement system to track that 😂

    I'll write more about it soon on openmygov.au/ . In the meantime, I'm still crowdfunding - every dollar helps in this battle for transparency and freedom. Link to campaign at aforementioned site.

  20. Spent hours on Sunday afternoon on the MyGov / Centrelink websites.

    The fuckage of users is considerable.

    Either deliberately designed to induce despair and hopelessness or there is no effective supervision & user-experience auditing happening.

    It looks to be part of the punishing of benefit recipients.

    And will be triggering domestic violence, child abuse, suicides, mental health problems, road rage & homelessness.

    #SocialCohesion, nah.
