The utter incompetence of the big consultancies on show in Australia. New IT infrastructure for Aged Care cost $685M in two years and it is nowhere near being released. An insider said that the system was so poorly designed that it was being scrapped and rebuilt from scratch. The My Health Record project which has blown out by 16 times and is now estimated to have cost $746M and delivered an "outdated, clunky, PDF-based system."
The amount of waste is truly astounding. I've worked in IT for over 20 years and can't fathom how that much money could be spent building what is essentially a CRM. Where does incompetence end and corruption start?
Consultants are supposed to bring commercial thinking and expertise to the government, but they're just gauging massive fees out of the taxpayer.
