Making available all public sector information that is not a security risk, would breach privacy/confidentiality rights of an individual or enterprise and providing it will not interfere with a legal case would be of enormous benefit for Australia. This informtion should be provided free of any charge.

Having this information available will:-

1. Provide for better and more accurate education at all levels.
2. Encourage more accurate informed debate
3. Allow for better planning of Non Government Organisation services.
4. Allow better business planning.
5. Encourage the development of new and innovative business enterprises
6. Increase the revenue to Government through greater tax revenues and reduced costs for social service and welfare delivery.

I believe that it is an important part of the Information Technology Revolution that needs to be embraced by the Government bureaucracy wholeheartedly.
