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.

Greg

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.
