Technology can be baffling and frustrating sometimes.
But if the flustered voice message for the Department of Agriculture and Food's Buy West Eat Best program is anything to go by, public servants in WA are having a tough time.

Perhaps she was having a bad day? Or maybe that was the best take of several failed attempts to record the voicemail message prompt.

Buy West Eat Best is a food labelling program to support WA's local food industry in Western Australia, with logos assuring that you are buying food that has been grown, farmed, fished and produced in the state.
