It also is about what information government must release-uncomfortable or no- in the public interest.Peter Timminshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589018910216965607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18815215.post-55057557340621574962014-12-02T20:41:29.913+11:002014-12-02T20:41:29.913+11:00Actually I'd heard that rumour as well...Actually I'd heard that rumour as well...Craig Thomlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350603210658700252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18815215.post-54218676403961065152014-12-02T20:40:57.427+11:002014-12-02T20:40:57.427+11:00Open data is only a small part of the open governm...Open data is only a small part of the open government mix and won't get Australia across the line.

I'm starting to wonder if we might see that old Canberra favourite - some sort of discussion paper or a 'draft' plan released on Christmas eve with responses welcome by 2 January.
