It works on https too though.
https://www2.medicareaustralia.gov.au/pext/optoutextweb/optout.xhtml
So the test is, how did you get to that link in the first place? Perhaps
this isn't actually much of an issue.
If you google "i do not want a digital health record" the top result is
https://myhealthrecord.gov.au/. Then if you follow the links to opt-out,
you end up at the above URL on https.
