The Bureau of Meteorology has apologised for unpopular changes to its website and said “adjustments” will be made, after its top brass was hauled in by the environment minister after negative public feedback.
Changes to the website’s design and accessibility have been criticised by many users online, with minister Murray Watt saying the website was “not meeting many users’ expectations” and the federal opposition saying it had affected the ability of Queenslanders to prepare for recent rain events.
