Eh, here in Australia we spent 96 million on the front end of a weather website. Estimated at $4 million originally.

This budget included a full modernization of their infrastructure as well as the website redesign. It's still heaps of money - but the media saying "a website cost $96 million AUD" is misleading.

I'd sort of expect them to replace every radar they had for that kind of money.
