#BoM initially said the #website #redesign would cost $4m, so where did all that extra $92m charges come in?

#MurrayWatt says the initial estimate was “for one aspect of the website development”.

“It’s a matter for them why they chose to provide that figure rather than a broader figure. But there’s no doubt that there have been increases in the cost of this website as it’s been developed. One of the things that I’ve asked the new CEO of the BoM to get on top of is, what happened here?” #auspol

#Greens leader #LarissaWaters, says the #environment minister, #MurrayWatt, should rescind his provisional approval of #Woodside’s #NorthWestShelf extension to give the nearby ancient #Murujuga #rockart a better chance of gaining world heritage status.

“We want to see this global treasure listed as #worldheritage. What we don’t want is to see it destroyed by acidic emissions from Woodside.” #auspol

Is #MurrayWatt a mining executive? Certainly doesn’t appear to be an Environment Minister.
Between this and his quick approval of the North West Shelf, it certainly seems that way.
How about taking a sound moral stance and doing what’s right here for the environment and the people, instead of sucking up to your employers?
