    These things get reported in tech newsletters and blogs but it seems the mainstream media no longer have any interest in discussing the systemic waste and incompetence of the public service.

    From https://www.innovationaus.com/

    More than $90 million was spent by government on its failed plan to privatise the visa processing system, but the Boston Consulting Group still came up trumps, landing nearly half of the cash through the process.

    Earlier this year the federal government quietly announced it had shelved plans to bring in a private sector company to develop a new visa processing system, dubbed the Global Digital Platform.

    This was three years after the plan was first announced, and more than a year after a Request for Tender had been issued.

    In an answer to a Senate Estimates question on notice, the Home Affairs department confirmed it spent $91.935 million on the failed plan, with a large chunk of this going towards private consultants.

    Outsourcing - the biggest scam ever invented... but we’ll never get rid of it now because BUSINESS loves it. The contracts however should be rewritten with proper penalty clauses - too many big companies just walking away with loads of cash and crap results (refer Qld Health payroll debacle, can’t remember which IT behemoth was responsible for that mess).
