Another thought on the Governance Group for the 2020 Summit.
What a pity there was also no room at the inn for Andrew Podger, President of the Australian Institute of Public Administration and a distinguished former public servant who has spoken up about the need for greater transparency; Jack Waterford of the Canberra Times, with a long history of involvement in government watching and FOI; Professor Meredith Edwards, of the School of Governance at the University of Canberra and former Deputy Secretary of the Prime Minister and Cabinet; Tony Harris, former NSW Auditor General and Financial Review columnist and Dr. Peter Chen of Monash University one of our leading thinkers about e-democracy and how technology can be used to improve participation in government.
