Australian company directors have until 30 November to register with MyGovId.
The ABC reported that about a million had not yet done so and each risks a fine
of $13,000. The registration requires providing multiple forms of
identification, with matching names. This may prove impossible by following the
instructions issued. I suggest the Australian Government needs to extend the
deadline and clarify how IDs are matched, to avoid ending up in a Robodebt II
situation.
As an example, the instructions say to enter the name on your Medicare card,
but my card has the wrong name on it: not just the physical card, but the
facsimile shown in the Medicare system. This weeks after I phone Medicare, and
was assured the name had been changed.

And they ask your consent to disclose the information to third parties for data
matching. However, if you don't give consent you don't get a director ID and
your options are to cop the fines or resign your directorships. Not really
consent.
