I note Senator Siewert's views and comments in relation to the site but I did indicate earlier in my remarks that the Commonwealth currently has over eight million myGov account users, which is an indication of the level of take-up, which is, in fact, significant given we have 7.3 million Centrelink customers in total to indicate the level of use, if I may. On the busiest day of the tax return lodgement period this year, which was 6 July, just as an indication, the myGov digital service successfully handled a very significant number of transactions. There were 623,646 logins to the myGov site that day, an increase of 140 per cent.
