Haven't seen mention in the media but hear Francis Maude UK Minister for the Cabinet Office is in Australia this week. One of a number of hats he wears is Co-Chair of the Open Government Partnership (with Minister Kuntoro Mangkusubroto of Indonesia, Head of President's Delivery Unit for Development Monitoring and Oversight). Presumably a few moments sometime for a word with policy influencers in Canberra about why Australia should move on from just "considering" signing up?
The OGP now has 58 governments on board, Argentina the latest to join.
