Centrelink's new $191m calculator gets written off

McCrapper (ScoMo) & co tendered out the construction of a new entitlement calculator engine (ECE) to be built for Centrelink, throwing $23m at their bros, Infosys to do so. In the next three years additional boosts of $44m, $67m & $57m were paid totalling $191m until Bill-bo Baggins (Bill Shorten under Albo) decided to put an end to it. Apparently they did get the thing working in a shadow mode alongside the current system, which is no-shit called "ISIS", but no one was confident enough to let it takeover and so it was decided to just keeping using the old one. Now look, I know projects are never simple, but this feels like something an Excel Spreadsheet could've done. I'll happily do up some pivot tables for you Bill. Good price too, just $2m.
