Plan to outsource public sector computers has cost money, not saved it

A plan to outsource South Australia public sector computers has cost more than it saved. Treasurer Rob Lucas “said, rather than saving $11 million a year as promised, the scheme has cost taxpayers an extra $48 million more than doing nothing. He said an independent report has warned the project has a “high chance of failure” and might cost taxpayers another $40 million to $80 million. Mr. Lucas said pre-election promises of 400 jobs had also not been realised.”
