The bom site has indigenous weather maps and forecasts.

How scientific

Not forecasts but yes, their maps etc. are scientific and often more accurate.

For example, the Noongar seasonal calendar has 6 seasons rather than 4.

This makes a lot more sense.

"Weather wisdom from the world's oldest continuous culture.

"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people hand down environmental and seasonal observations from generation to generation."

That's the scientific method.

“It is unbelievable a private consultancy was paid $78 million to redesign the website, but then security
and system testing meant that Australian taxpayers actually paid $96 million ,” Mr Littleproud said.“

96 million dollars wasted on a new website that is inferior to the one it replaced!

Who where the “ private consultants”?
Questions need to be asked in parliament.

It’s completely outrageous!

“ In short:
The Bureau of Meteorology revealed its new website cost $96.5 million, not $4.1 million as the agency had originally said.”

Who is the Albo minister behind this complete waste of money?

Was it death on her hands by phone failure Anikao Wello again?

Not too mention her complete failure as a minister for age care.&

Maybe Albo could explain between flights?

How does a weather website cost $96.5 million?

Does everything have to cost an absurd amount under Albo?

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

I hate to say it.
But if there is anything with TAXPAYERS attached to it
The charge is increased tenfold.

Take NDIS. Tradies, Consultants and anyone doing a job that comes under payment via NDIS triple their fees and charges.

Want a small bridge built in Germany or Vietnam. $80,000.
In Australia? $2m.
Take that $29m flagpole on the harbour bridge.
Other countries could do it 83% cheaper.

Why is anything so costly in Australia?
Because everyone has to pay a good percentage to the Aborigines just for being here.
