Auckland ratepayers were yesterday handed an extra $7 million bill for a council computer system that has already cost $54 million - and still can't do its job。
“
In May, the Herald reported that the cost of building city computer systems over the next eight years was $506 million - $56 million already spent, $150 million of budgeted spending and $300 million of unbudgeted spending.

政治家? It is the 政治家 (Councillor Mike Lee) who raised the concern of overspending.
It is indeed the stupid officers sitting at the management levels of Council who designed the process and created this mess, and as Mr Sea also works for a powerful Council's organisation (AT) himself, I just want to quote a Chinese proverb: "you know that" ~ This is how the organisation works ~作者: 阿海 时间: 2011-10-7 14:51:57
I work in AT, not AC.
Also the internet sucks in AT.作者: 武夫的眉笔 时间: 2011-10-7 14:52:03
Yes, i have to say government IT spending is crazy, its the biggest pie that consultancy company all want to bite !
all those money will go towards companies like PWC, Deloitte, IBM, HP, and some other consultancy companies.
and most of those big profile consultancy company will charge Auckland Council 1600 to 2500 per day,, so if you have 150 peole working on the project for a year,, that will burn 60million easily ..作者: ysun062 时间: 2011-10-7 15:55:04
and i agree with LZ,, those govt IT project is run by very stupid high paid white men in their late 50s who enjoys golf, luxery functions, and wild parties, and they dont care if the project went bad, all they care is they can push off the responsibility to others, i.e. big named consultancy companies

No difference - I feel this seems to be a 'working style' of civil servants in local government in Auckland (esp those at the management levels) (if not the whole New Zealand). No matter it is AC, AT, WA, or ATEED, etc, many of them are actually the same bunch of people from the legacy councils ....
People are laid back, good at empty-talking, like to have meetings/workshops all the times just talk about visions, strategies, objectives, etc (which sometimes could be quite crap) but know nothing on the actual means to achieve these. Many projects are badly organised/planned which may sound so great in the begining but finally could go nowhere or disappear somewhere due to financial constraints, political reasons or simply lack of cooperation from other departments - nothing left at the end other than money wasted to feed those hungry consultants.... ~作者: sukesl25 时间: 2011-10-7 17:50:51

We are doing a few project for Auckland Transport, IRD for example. They have huge budgets, they never cares about how much they paid.作者: 阿海 时间: 2011-10-10 15:32:59
AT's responsibilities are:
1) use up the budgets they have got
2) get more money to pay for projects
3) no complaints
When an organisation is not built to make profit, it can only do one thing:
