E Conveyancing - yet another stuffed up project

I’ve been aware of this one for a while, but was reminded by the comment below.

The idea is quite simply, to have one electronic system to do property conveyancing, eliminating all that faxing around of fiddly bits of paper etc.

It isn’t that big a project (speaking with my ex IT Manager hat on) as there are only about 400 000 transactions a year across Victoria, so you don’t need a really wiz bang system to handle that type of volume, and the database wouldn’t be that big either.

Of course, that’s not how the Government is doing it, spending $30M - $40M with no usable system in sight.
