Hanging is reserved for rapists and murderers.

Taxpayers were raped.

Any govt funded (aka taxpayer) job just happens to be way more expensive than a private one. You will find that the cost of the website if paid for by a private company would probably cost 89% less. Let's face it. When taxpayers pay taxpayers, taxpayers rip off taxpayers.

“ The ministers in charge of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) are Senator the Hon. Murray Watt, the Minister for the Environment and Water, and the Hon. Josh Wilson MP, the Assistant Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The BoM operates within the climate change, energy, environment, and water portfolio, and Watt is the primary minister responsible. ”

“A.I

Yet neither have addressed the issue publicly.

Minister Watts can you explain what we went so wrong while you were in charge of the debacle?

I support the No Bonk Ban in Federal Government because I believe anything we can do to stop our current politicians from breeding is best for the future of our nation.

I'm certainly not defending what looks to be indefensible, however, Watt has now commented.

BoM asked to explain ‘what happened here’ after cost of website redesign revealed to be $96.5m

Environment minister Murray Watt ‘not happy’ with cost blowout and has shared concerns with new Bureau of Meteorology boss.

I certainly can't see how the cost can be justified.

The CEO who wasted 100 million is apparently a hero if you read the link?

“Under Dr Johnson's leadership, the Bureau has implemented new and upgraded weather, water, marine and space services, expanded its observing capabilities, and improved the accuracy and timeliness of its forecasts and warnings, while ensuring more secure, stable and resilient operations. International relationships have also strengthened, especially in the Pacific where the Bureau has played a leading role in supporting Pacific Islands nations to prepare for and respond to the impacts of severe weather in a changing climate.”

“ Bom

Murray watts wants nothing to do with his responsibility as minister other than collect his pay check for failing so miserably in his job.

Yes. Leftism in America is an under-achiever. It has sexual issues, like 'rape'.
Leftism in Australia is over-achieving. It's all about 'da money!'. Frivolous self indulgent spendings.
