I've already done this. I've indicated I can't lodge my documents until I
have a suitable Linux Open Source application that will do it because I'm
disadvantaged.
I indicated under the Tax Acts and the Discrimination Acts I'm being held
to a disadvantage and that other methods cost me money, which I'm not
required to pay under the e-tax system.
At any rate legal advice I have says that the Tax Office has to solve the
problem without expense to me or I don't have to comply with ther systems
put in place :)
Ain't that a cute thought!
I wonder if the Census comes in E-census format :)
