I spoke to the ATO on 21 May asking when we would get our super. The news
is pretty much the same.

They are very busy on the phones fielding calls about Super co-contributions
so it is hard to get to talk to someone. However they do take your number
and call back (in my case, the next day).

The computer system that would allow them to transfer SGC payments to our
super funds is not yet in service and is expected to be "at the end of May".

They still cannot tell you anything about your SGC amounts.

ATO do not pay interest on SGC payments delayed by ATO inaction. You may
request compensation by writing to them, detailing dates and amounts paid
etc, demonstrating disadvantage by providing evidence of the income and
growth your SGC payment would have made in your super fund for the period in
question (based on the income of your super fund over that period). It
would appear to be easier to do this once the payment is made so you can
actually determine the loss.

I think a letter to your local member is appropriate as well.

Or put in a job application to work at the Mitsubishi engine factory in
Adelaide to ensure you receive something from the govt.
