Alston's $4m website
James Riley APRIL 03, 2003
   TAXPAYERS have been stung for more than $4 million, after a project to
   rebuild the website of communications and IT minister Richard Alston
   suffered a massive blowout from its initial budget of $600,000.

   Private sector internet design firms described the $4.018 million,
   uncovered in Senate estimates, spent by Senator Richard Alston's
   Department of Communications, IT and the Arts (DCITA) on its latest
   website as "outlandish" and "outrageous".
