Australian government again assuming that everyone has a smart phone and wants to download yet another fucking app.

They mentioned being able to do it via web form, which would allow laptops, as well as those public airline touchscreen things.
I had to do something similar when visiting Japan. I fucked up because the instructions confused me, and they just sighed and showed me how to do it on the website. No app, no account, just a digital form. I hope we do something similar, fuck apps.

Webform Option! Webform Option! Fuck your apps! Fuck your apps! Let's hope the Webform Option is optimised for all browsers (it won't be) and works better and has more HP than anything Centrelink has to offer. I can see the system crash when 3 flights (1 from EU, 1 from Bali, and 1 from Japan) converge on Syd/Melb. Airport.
Let us pray they prove us wrong.
