    NEW: A Queensland software engineer has been in a four-and-a-half year long battle with Services Australia to get a look at a MyGov app's source code.

    He says we should be able to scrutinise it to make sure it's secure. Services Australia says it's a national security risk.

      I’ve set up a mailing list to send out an email when I have an article come out. Sign if you want to get them first and instead of hoping that an algorithm will serve it to you.
