MANY of Australia’s tenders (state and federal) for works are awarded fraudulently to people in ‘money for mates’ scams.
Australian taxpayers have paid $4 million for an ‘updated’ bom.gov.au front page.
The backlash to this new front page was overwhelming, where it was also claimed that lives can be lost as result of the deliberately flawed representation of weather maps.
How could such a change be approved prior to going live on the web?
Show us the proof that the changes were consulted with the community?
NO INQUIRY?
What really needs to happen now is an inquiry into the machinations of the federal government's documentation that led to the creation of the new front page.
Basically in other words, full transparency as to how the public was ripped off of $4million dollars and in reality a person or persons who made this call to be removed from office.
This is a gross misuse of public funds.
We understand that a price of one twelfth of what was paid is still too much for that type of work.
In any event since the colonial government does not operate with transparency but rather with corruption and secrecy, it is very doubtful that anyone will lose their job over this fiasco.
