Yep - not just Oz that has that problem. I had similar troubles with the UK systems as well.

Yep, today is mini-"freedom day" here, when fully vaxed people can start doing things again.
But to check in anywhere you need proof...
And they couldn't have possibly anticipated the demand.

I know, but I can now visit one of my sons and hug my g'daughters for the first time in ages. My other son will have to wait until December on the current schedule. And we're all in the same state...
Certainly not going to run wild.

You live in an ex-prison colony. The authorities merely reverted to type.

Only 70 minutes?
The last time I had to make a government account, which wasn't that long ago, I could only get a code by snail mail 
I needed that account now, but I had to wait at least two business days

Wow! The government imposes travel paper requirements then makes the documents hard to get...
But I’m sure they only have your best interests at heart🙄!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Yeah I saw that on ABC News. The security models of all the gov't apps are damaged, if not completely broken.
Example:
A browser can ask Android if the device is lockable (PIN, swipe pattern, face etc) and if so, allow access to its saved passwords. (I had to temporarily put a PIN on my wife's browsing tablet to retrieve a password.)
But ServiceNSW insists on a PIN to unlock the app even on a lockable device. Adds no security at all, just creates frustration.
It's actually fewer taps to use a standalone QR reader and then tell it to open in browser...
And don't get me started on their UI design (No, I do not want to put my DL on it to enable one-stop ID theft!)
or their crap QR scanner.
or their battery hogging.
QR code tattoos, anyone?

Been a really slow weekend, I guess the cooler weather everyone is out enjoying the end of summer.
Me, I'm laying tile.

Me, I'm binge playing Starcraft II again. (It's raining, and I got a good pot of tea)
Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought. (Porkypine - via Walt Kelly)

Biking and enjoying the nice weather while it lasts, also hoping to see some nice mushrooms but haven't spotted them this year ...

I hate wild mushrooms, she insist on drying them to have the bugs crawl out.

I think you'll find it's everyone enjoying the start of summer and the warmer sunny weather in what was the first weekend that felt summery in a long while.

Canadian Thanksgiving.
Chicken in the oven (don't know yet what side to eat with it).
Humankind on the PC (one more turn).
Will do major house cleanup tomorrow.
