Honestly, this abysmal situation has been going on that long that I've ceased to be surprised when another year rolls around and the ATO have still made absolutely no moves towards making electronic tax return submission available to all computer users. Just because I'm not surprised, doesn't mean that I'm not outraged.
I've been bumping into this issue for years, mostly using Linux and being able to get away with WINE.... Except for last year when I had to install eTax on a borrowed windows PC to do the actual submission.
The ATO don't even make a token effort at having their official, publicly funded, software available to those who choose not to use Microsoft Windows - they should be raked over the coals for this.
For anybody else that's as annoyed about this as I am, the official ATO complaint address is:
Australian Taxation Office
Locked Bag 40
Dandenong Victoria 3175
