Good luck in your efforts. As an ex-ATO officer (with many contacts still
in the organisation), I advise that you're facing an uphill battle and have
little chance of success.
The ATO is currently looking for ways to cut services. They need to face a
huge public backlash before they switch this mindset. A few hundred names
on a petition aren't enough; from experience, I can attest that they aren't
even going to look at a proposal unless it affects several tens of
thousands of taxpayers. Are there that many UNIX-based BAS clients in
Australia, and more importantly will they all sign a petition? Somehow, I
doubt it.
Good luck anyway.
