What amazes me is how much money the Australian tax payer generates yet governments are always short. Like look at the home insulation scheme. Obviously well meaning and energy savings and efficiencies are a great investment. But $2.45 Billion spent in such a haphazard way? The problem with government is its not really their money. I mean no one on this earth would spend money like that if it was theirs.
Myki, the new ticketing system for melbourne public transport is another example. It cost over $1billion to get it up and running, but still, it has problems. All for a new ticketing system!
