The Rudd Government's much vaunted GroceryChoice website (allowing for online price comparison across grocery retail chains) still limps along, awaiting the CHOICE revamp which is promised for July this year.
Five months to revamp a website is a long time (a task subcontracted to SMS Management and Technology) and the worry grows that in the end CHOICE will only use this website as an extension of its existing information service and not regularly deliver a more detailed level of price comparisons across retail chains in regional Australia, where consumers are often disadvantaged due to more limited shopping options.
The website disclaimer now says it all:
Although the Australian Government supports this website by contributing funding to its operation, it is not an Australian Government website and the Australian Government is not responsible for its content or operation and, to the extent permitted by law the Australian Government makes no representation and gives no warranty and accepts no liability in respect to it.
