Gov 2.0 in Australia: From Open Data to Open Government
ICT is on the top of the Australian agenda for the first time in history, with visionary policies such as the National Broadband Network and the Digital Education Revolution. These policies set the scene for ICT at the heart of social and economic progress. The Australian Gov 2.0 Taskforce released their paper only a few months ago and within it is the blueprint for a more open, participatory, collaborative and transparent government, where citizens and government co-design the future together. It is a new era for Australia and a new era for democracy globally.
