We got shitloads of internal polling about the GST and Turnbull is just blowing whichever way the wind blows. Most Australians, even Liberal voters think that there should be something done about tax skipping multinationals instead. Ironically, by design this will be similar to the mining tax.

How is it that governments are so consistently behind on IT? Why don't they just buy it as a service from someone who actually knows what they're doing? I mean aside from wanting to make people on welfare as miserable as possible.

I'd estimate it's because IT upgrades are a long term investment and it's easy to justify not upgrading it to save money.

My younger brother's found himself in a similar situation, CL suddenly sent him a letter some day saying he owed about $17k because they "paid him too much" and gave 30 days to pay it. Personally my favorite thing about Centrelink is how their lovely online portal seems to break in new and different ways every time I go to report. Will it hate Chrome this week? Perhaps it'll refuse to take the SSO token. It's always fun!

It costs a lot of money, more than if you just hired experienced contractors and ran the project in department. Also I don't trust this government to hire someone appropriate like IBM, Accenture or Cognizant. They will put out a tender, and award it to a company that has limited experience but undercut everyone else (hello Serco). Tokamak fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Feb 8, 2016 |

Companies with experience probably make lowball offers too and then cut corners to stay under budget.

My workplace still runs a 30+ year old system for account creation. If it still works, and you can hopefully find the old greybeards who built it originally, then why change? Except when it is a complete arse of a system and about as friendly as a kick in the teeth

They'd outsource it to Transfield, who would make the computer systems unusable and the phone service would be useless. This would force everyone to show up to a centrelink in person, which have all been converted into detention camps.

Government IT is a 3 option, pick 2 problem. They're blaming the infrastructure but it was them who chose the current hardware/software mix back in the 90's when they did the last upgrade, because it was the easiest option (IIRC IBM did a big deal on the mainframe just to keep the business). The next upgrade will be the easiest option. You've got a huge database doing millions of transactions live for most of the day and you can't simply drop it to fix it. They really need to do a rewrite that is modular and still transactionally safe so it can fail better, but it doesn't solve the massive problem of moving stuff over. Ironically Y2K was the best opportunity they had to fix a lot of stuff and they went with middleware hacked on to the end of the existing db rather than fix the actual db. When it gets out of sync with the main database, thats when glitches happen. And often they have no idea how. But you put it to them to rewrite all of this and verify all the existing data, and see how far you get, $1billion is cheap.

"On Monday McClellan revealed that the conditions were hypertension and ischaemic heart disease. While it would be preferable that Pell fly to Australia to give evidence, McClellan said the commissioners were satisfied doing so would pose a risk to Pell’s health and that his condition was unlikely to improve." gently caress you Pell.

Probably worried he'll end up arrested for ignoring kiddie fiddling in the church or something. At least the current pope seems more likely to be ok with extraditing pedos than any other they've had.

Aresetralian Feb 15: "The article claims that Cardinal Pell regularly flies business class and spent $US1103 ($1585) on a flight from Rome to London last year."

Working at the ACCC the problem with IT upgrades was twofold: 1. Cost of upgrading and keeping upgraded 2. Cost of keeping people trained up when each parliamentary cycle usually meant job or budget cuts While I was there we went through a process to change the way secure files were stored, it was botched badly and did not have a good user focus at all. If that's the way all government IT is run they're probably better off hanging on to their dinosaur systems.

Also I fully support welfare fraud for young people on Newstart to actually have a living wage. The trick back in my day was to list your grandparents address and say you were living away from home to at least scrape a few more bucks together.

Once you start thinking 'well maybe it's their own fault they're disabled' and use that as a justification for not helping you're heading down a dark path.
