Unparalleled access to information and culture which can close the distance gap between citizens and peers around the world.

Recognise that the medium's strength is its openess. Stop wasting tax payer money on technological attempts to police social behavior and copyright law via the internet. Get up to speed on Creative Commons and open source licensing and shift government policy so that, by default, more resources remain accessible and useful to Australians.
