In my opinion, it's a good report. I hope that Jacques (of ClubTroppo) and Robert Merkel (of LP), who also contributed to the consultation, post their thoughts about the report. <blockquote>We are pleased to announce that the report, Consulting with Government - online , has been released this week and is available from http://www.finance.gov.au/publications/consulting-with-government-online/index.html The report presents findings and recommendations of our public consultation and research work on the Australian publics interest in consulting with Government online.</blockquote> Aaah, notice the "html" extension rather than "htm". Good to see! Let's hope that AGIMO produce a recommendations paper, and makes it public, as well as a report summarizing the next round of consultations between agencies.
