That's a pretty hefty fine, but I wonder what the original billings were for developing the system in the first place?
I've heard reports that they spent >AUD$5Million on just the load testing aspect, but I hope someone can verify that. And I trust that they have improved comprehensive testing methodologies that actually work to improve reliability under duress. (<sarcasm>Tip: Perhaps don't build it using Lotus Notes??</sarcasm>)
I guess we can be thankful that is was 'merely' a census and not something like electronic voting!
