tor HUME (—) (): Since 1 November this year, in just the first two weeks of the rollout, we've seen more than 70,000 director IDs issued, and 96 per cent of director ID applications have been digital. The Australian Business Registry Services website has had over 500,000 unique page views since the beginning of November alone. These are extraordinary figures, especially given the rollout is still in its public beta phase. They're a testament to industry and the community's support for this particularly important program. With 96 per cent of applications made digitally and online, it highlights business's support for this government's efforts to improve the efficiency of registry service transactions in online settings. Indeed, while the opposition will talk about illegal phoenix activity, only the coalition government will actually address it.
