Mandatory myGov logon prevents online tax lodgement

As of 2014 the Australian Government requires all tax payers using electronic tax return software to first register with the new myGov registry. myGov was introduced recently as a single signon for Australian government services. Technical issues with myGov have prevented online tax lodgement using ATO software resulting in unhappy tax payers venting on social media.

myGov is the Department of Human Services system which was recently demonstrated to have a security flaw which exposed private health and family information.
