"... If information is power, then information use and re-use can be powerful ..." Then make it mandatory for all public information generated by government to be: - accessible using technologies like RSS that let end users consume information using technology. - license government data favorably to 'Australian companies' and individuals to use. This does not mean charge $$$ for what is essentially public funded, national assets. The current system for releasing information is antiquated. It simply ignores how silicon based consumption and processing can be used to enhance existing data for private and commercial use.
