How good is Senator Richard Alston, Australia’s Minister for Communications, Technology and the Arts. He is blaming his Department for the massive budget blow-out on the Department’s website. Of course, Australian small business isn’t happy that he spent $4 million with multinational Fujitsu when a fraction of that money could have been better spent to achieve the same result had local industry not been ignored for the project.
Is Senator Alston, referred to as the world’s biggest luddite by The Register, a UK news website, the right person for the job of Australia’s minister for Communications, Technology and the Arts? I have my doubts.
