Next, the website upgrade that hit like a 80 00:05:20,935 --> 00:05:32,655 Speaker 1: cat for cyclone. Look, we know talking about the weather 81 00:05:32,815 --> 00:05:37,415 Speaker 1: can be naff, but it's important for our safety and 82 00:05:37,495 --> 00:05:40,375 Speaker 1: for those who rely on the forecast to help dictate 83 00:05:40,415 --> 00:05:44,214 Speaker 1: their workload like farmers. Before we dive into the latest 84 00:05:44,255 --> 00:05:46,855 Speaker 1: weather polava, we'd like to point out that this isn't 85 00:05:46,855 --> 00:05:50,214 Speaker 1: the first makeover the Bureau of Meteorology has gone through. 86 00:05:50,735 --> 00:05:54,855 Speaker 1: Back in October twenty twenty, BOMB, as it's affectionately referred 87 00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:58,094 Speaker 1: to implored us all to refer to them as the 88 00:05:58,215 --> 00:06:02,575 Speaker 1: Bureau dropped the Meteorology at the time, this was of 89 00:06:02,615 --> 00:06:07,135 Speaker 1: course met with criticism, even from then Enviral Minister Tanya Pliverseg, 90 00:06:07,375 --> 00:06:11,255 Speaker 1: who said the agency's focus should be on weather, not branding, 91 00:06:12,335 --> 00:06:16,175 Speaker 1: which brings us to now three years later, a new 92 00:06:16,215 --> 00:06:23,775 Speaker 1: website and mass uproar. Last week, just as storms were 93 00:06:23,815 --> 00:06:27,654 Speaker 1: battering the country, the Bureau of Meteorology dropped its brand 94 00:06:27,655 --> 00:06:32,055 Speaker 1: new website, but instead of making weather info clearer, users 95 00:06:32,095 --> 00:06:38,335 Speaker 1: say they're more lost than ever. The backlash was instant. Farmers, fishes, 96 00:06:38,495 --> 00:06:42,094 Speaker 1: and anyone following the weather for work lit up the Internet. 97 00:06:42,415 --> 00:06:46,575 Speaker 3: The new bomb site is unbelievably useless, not happy bomb. 98 00:06:46,735 --> 00:06:49,255 Speaker 3: After pressing twenty different options, I gave up and hit 99 00:06:49,295 --> 00:06:51,415 Speaker 3: my phone with a hammer. Just tell me if it's 100 00:06:51,455 --> 00:06:52,295 Speaker 3: going to rain. 101 00:06:53,655 --> 00:06:56,255 Speaker 1: For many, there was no data at all for their area. 102 00:06:56,655 --> 00:07:00,615 Speaker 1: Others said critical forecasts like rain, wind or radar maps 103 00:07:00,655 --> 00:07:04,175 Speaker 1: were too hard to find or just gone completely. The 104 00:07:04,215 --> 00:07:07,975 Speaker 1: timing was awful. Weather events were and continue to sweep 105 00:07:08,015 --> 00:07:11,695 Speaker 1: the nation. Everything from storms to wild winds to heat 106 00:07:11,735 --> 00:07:15,535 Speaker 1: waves just hit as people needed reliable, easy to read data. 107 00:07:15,695 --> 00:07:21,575 Speaker 1: The most farmers, in particular, are fuming. Grain producers South 108 00:07:21,615 --> 00:07:25,495 Speaker 1: Australia Chief executive Brad Perry told the Advertiser the state's 109 00:07:25,535 --> 00:07:28,695 Speaker 1: difficult farming conditions over the past two years had made 110 00:07:28,695 --> 00:07:34,335 Speaker 1: it clear just how important accurate forecast are contractors, shearers 111 00:07:34,375 --> 00:07:37,175 Speaker 1: and fishers. They all need up to the minute updates 112 00:07:37,215 --> 00:07:40,135 Speaker 1: and can lose thousands if caught off guard by sudden 113 00:07:40,175 --> 00:07:43,535 Speaker 1: weather changes. BOMB says the site is part of an 114 00:07:43,575 --> 00:07:46,815 Speaker 1: eight hundred and sixty six million dollar tech upgrade for 115 00:07:46,855 --> 00:07:51,895 Speaker 1: cybersecurity and weather supercomputers. They've asked users to explore the 116 00:07:51,895 --> 00:07:56,135 Speaker 1: new site, give it a chance and provide feedback. Of course, 117 00:07:56,175 --> 00:07:59,095 Speaker 1: not everyone is brooding over the change to Bomb's site. 118 00:07:59,175 --> 00:08:02,295 Speaker 1: Some have welcomed the fresh look of paint and sunny outlook, 119 00:08:02,615 --> 00:08:06,695 Speaker 1: but for every piece of praise or indifference equally as 120 00:08:06,775 --> 00:08:11,135 Speaker 1: much outcry.
