interviewed at Gov 2.0 – Kate Lundy
summary
Two recent laws create an Information Commissioner role and change Freedom of Information so the government defaults to release public data online unless there’s a compelling reason not to. The gov2.0 task force recommendations are accepted, data.gov.au and a govhack mashup community exist, and budget papers plus the parliamentary website move to Creative Commons CC-BY. A $43 billion National Broadband Network is planned: fiber to 93% at 100 Mbps, 3% wireless at 12 Mbps, and satellite for the remainder.
