Why was the BOM website so expensive? | The West Report
Advisors behave badly, politicians behave arrogantly; with our money. Australia’s weather website cost you $96.5 million. Not a satellite, not a supercomputer… a website. In this episode, Josh explains how the four-million-dollar BoM “revamp” blew up 24 times and how much of that money flowed directly to private consultants like Accenture and Deloitte.
We look at Deloitte’s AI white paper, PwC’s tax leak and Robodebt study, and new Greens data showing federal consultancy spending is now just under a billion dollars a year even as business shifts from the Big Four to a long tail of firms.
