so here we have the moronic Liberal party supporters complaining about how poor BOM performs -----------
well, guess why????? You reap what you sow ---------
Tony Abbott (2013-2015): Under Abbott's leadership, the BoM faced significant budget cuts, which were part of broader austerity measures implemented by the government.
Malcolm Turnbull (2015-2018): Turnbull's administration continued the trend of funding reductions, further impacting the BoM's operational capabilities.
Scott Morrison (2019-2022): The Morrison government also implemented cuts that affected the BoM, contributing to ongoing concerns about the agency's ability to meet its international obligations for weather data and forecasting accuracy.
Conclusion
The cumulative effect of funding cuts during the tenures of these Liberal Prime Ministers has led to significant challenges for the Bureau of Meteorology, including compromised forecasting capabilities and reduced operational efficiency. The ongoing debate about the adequacy of funding for such a critical national service continues to be a pressing issue in Australian politics.
