Bureau of Meteorology faces independent review after costly website redesign

The Bureau of Meteorology will undergo an independent review to assess whether it meets current and future community needs, following criticism over its nearly $100 million website redesign last year. Politicians debate the cost and effectiveness of government reviews, with concerns raised about wasteful spending, ministerial accountability, and the practice of keeping some reviews confidential rather than releasing them publicly. The discussion highlights frustrations about expensive consultations that fail to produce implemented recommendations or accessible results.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
