--I’ll bet it ends up reminiscent of the local hotel quarantine project. Unbelievable amounts spent on it but who authorised it? Apparently, no-one. Yet large sums were going out the door, and the “real” details need to remain secret.
The Commonwealth Games? A fortune paid to consultants to do the costing, and when the price is $6B not $2B, no-one is apparently responsible, and worse, yet again, secrecy surrounds most of it.
In Victoria, apparently we spent more on MyKi than NASA spent putting Curiosity on Mars, and NASA invented the Sky Crane as part of that project. We got a card system that’s already being replaced.
The census debacle looks like a choice of the wrong technology, and wrong specifications for testing. But again, no heads roll when it happens.
And so on, and so on.
Apparently for this business register stuff, a primary issue is that the chosen platform didn’t go even close to meeting requirements or costs to modify. Yet, again, I’ll bet no-one is responsible and wears the cost except the public.
We just can’t keep doing this.

It’s only public money, right?
In the end, who is getting sacked? Who is being sued? Who is bearing direct consequences of this, apart from the public?
My guess? No-one.
