The federal government’s independent auditor has slammed the roll-out of the Coalition’s mobile black spot program, finding it was beset by “weaknesses” and provided poor value for money.
In its most critical finding, the ANAO found one in five of the mobile phone towers funded in the first round of the program provided little to no new coverage for consumers.
Not a big surprise that 80% of the $220 million program went to Liberal won electorates either.
Man, if you really want to study how not to implement any major infrastructure project the Australian government is just racking up use-cases at this point.
