I believe the Government is genuine in wanting constructive feedback through this blog initiative. My initial concern though is that this Government is extremely willing to seek ideas which suggests they really aren't sure what direction to take on a range of issues. The internet phenomenan is still relatively new (mainstream usage has only taken off during the last decade), and the rolling out of platforms, infrastucture, education and funding should be analysed, debated and implemented. If this process is not done appropriately, billions will be spent and basically thrown in the bin several years down the track. The Government should be investing alot in this initiative as it will benefit the country for many years to come if carried out correctly. Pay for real expert and visionary advice. I hope this blog achieves significantly more than discussions from people that are worried about being blocked from their porn and the technical cans and cannots of whether its possible or not. Minister Conroy, what you need to do is get some guest bloggers (from different disciplines)on too initiate and drive some real discussions otherwise you are just going to end up with a bunch of twaddle. Good luck. Think big.
