35 million... and it went from 'achievable' to 'unlikely' in nine days. Absolute lemon of a project.

Who approved this budget? A bunch of muppets with no clue.

Mia Carter2026-07-21T20:43:14.000Z

facts. they probably spent half of it on consultants.

Sage Lawson2026-07-21T20:24:14.000Z

could've hired a dev team for a fraction of that and got it done in a month. typical government waste.

I work in IT and this kind of failure is so predictable when you ignore the experts. Sad but not surprised.

FFS, another waste of taxpayer money. The minister should be held accountable.

Ella Thompson2026-07-21T21:23:14.000Z
