[plug] [OT]Worlds biggest luddite spends $4Mill on website

[Ben Jensz]

For 4 million dollars, it SHOULD be HTML compliant.

Put the first page you get when you type in the web address into the w3 
validator and its not compliant to the document type reference at the 
top of it. (http://www.dcita.gov.au/Subject_Entry_Page/0,,0_1-2_1,00.html)

In fact there are 397 errors on the first page.  $4 millon and the page 
is broken?  Disgusting.  Totally sums up his knowledge of the portfolios 
he's supposed to be responsible for doesn't it?
