Snip all the repetition of 15 years working in this space, watching it, consulting on it, and being ignored about it. How many govs/dept secs have been in over that period? How many budget blow-outs? If the $1.5BIL (just the fed system, not the STATE systems sunk costs) and counting had been given to each person in the country, (getting out calculator) is $65/15 years, or $4.4/year. Put that way, it's not all that much. Maybe they should have spent more and actually listened to the people outside the Canberra world view about how to do it better. BUT if you take the 2mil signed up, that's $750/patient. Is that a good ROI?
