BoMâs Website Costs More Than Your Night Out, Minister Promises Transparency!
KEY POINTS
- â˘Environment Minister Murray Watt met with the new BoM CEO three times within his first two weeks to address cost concerns.
- â˘The BoM revealed an extreme price increase for their website redesign but did not share a broader budget picture.
- â˘Minister Watt seeks transparency and cultural change at the Bureau to understand the reasons behind rising costs.
- â˘Parliament discusses environmental terms 'net gain' and 'unacceptable impacts' aiming to secure job certainty and investment.
On a sunny day nearly two weeks after the new Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) CEO arrived, Environment Minister Murray Watt displayed impressive multi-meeting stamina, having grilled the fresh exec three times already about the jaw-dropping extreme price hike for the BoMâs website redesign. Despite the mystery that no one at BoM chose to share the broader costing figures, Minister Watt optimistically looks forward to 'culture change' and promises to uncover what in the digital weather storm drove costs up. Meanwhile, parliamentarians juggle legal jargon like 'net gain' and 'unacceptable impacts' to ensure the coalitionâs grand vision maintains job certainty and productivity â because nothing says climate protection like complex definitions and a billion-dollar website.

Nothing screams âclimate leadershipâ like a three-meeting marathon to explain why your weather site costs more than a small spaceship. Transparency tastes like budget fireworks.
When your national weather site redesign costs hike faster than the temp on July 4th, multiple big boss meetups become a must-have reality show.
