Australian IT – Jobs go in NSW grand plan (Chris Jenkins, JULY 27, 2006)
“NSW has unveiled its grand vision for electronic service delivery and IT streamlining, saying it will carve $565 million over four years from the state’s $1 billion annual IT and communications budget – including $20 million saved through the loss of around 200 jobs.”
