closer to $88 for the entire overhaul, including supporting systems

Anyway, from the weekend. "In the weeks before the Bureau of Meteorology launched its new website – three years overdue, $46.6 million over budget and downsized from its original scope – the testing scores for the product began to plunge." www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/2025/11...

The design element only.

That is the website, the digital channels contract and related systems that allowed the rebuild went to Accenture and more than doubled in value. You’re quoting a figure just for the design, which was done in 2020. The total cost is enormous.

Honestly yes! I’m less concerned with the design personally (although I don’t love it) and more the way it has been delivered (or not fully delivered) after many many years

OVER budget. The full cost is almost $90m. And it’s years late. And still not finished.

I found out via your post, so lovely! Thank you x

This is always my mindset because nothing matters! Until it matters!

I just wanna be mysterious European with no backstory!

Funnily enough, as I understand it, the whole lot was supposed to have been redesigned but they ran out of time and money...

Ha ha ha fuck. That’s insanely accurate though. Only thing I could think of was that it was like being shot in the big toe (where I was stung once) but I honestly think that would be less painful.

The entire piece is, in some sense, a vehicle for that paragraph and I am glad it worked. Thank you!

Mid life crisis but make it fun!

I have been hit by these bad boys more than once (child of the outback) and can confirm it’s awful

I am happy to help. But from France.
