It wasn't just the website that cost $96m but the whole computer system. The original cost for that was $80m.
"The BoM website redesign and the broader technology overhaul (known as the "Robust" program) were scoped and approved by the Turnbull Cabinet in 2017. The Minister for the Environment and Energy (the portfolio responsible for the BoM) at that time was Josh Frydenberg"

I can't believe the government I voted for did this.
How naive was I to think they would use their vast majority for visionary reform?

SPOILER ALERT:
MALICE series
I watched the final episode last night & thought it ended strangely with Adam getting on a boat.
The review said there was meant to be so much more.
The version I watched ended just before DID ADAM GET AWAY in the review.
Anbody else?

Could someone do some research into why Sarah Henderson left the ABC?
Methinks she must have got passed over for some job, because she has been on a campaign of hate about them ever since

Say no to an inquiry into the ABC.
Ironically this push for an inquiry is coming from Sarah Henderson who used to be a journalist with @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social

This is the guy that voted no to releasing the Epstein Files.
More to the point this is the type of person that Republicans recruit as candidates.

Oregon National Guard General Alan Gronewold:

“Yes, if you give an order that directs a soldier to commit a criminal act, they should disobey that."

The only person who thinks the contrary is a 34-count convicted felon, who wouldn't pay himself for the crime committed by the soldier.

I really, really strongly encourage you to watch Aaron's clips of the Trump-Mamdani meeting, not just read his recaps.

This is a totally different Trump than we ever normally see. It's wild to see him like this—and Mamdani is the one who brought it out in him. There's a lesson here.
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?

TRUMP: I would. I really would.
