There are a few that are IT related, like these by 2017: Provide all government correspondence, documents and forms in digital format Make sure every government interaction that happens more than 50,000 times a year is done online (Source: Coalition election policy documents; Tony Abbott) ---- Hmmm...Sounds a bit like the ehealth record ambitions. And we all know how well that's turned out.....not. Within first Twelve months: Designate three agencies with high-volume client interaction to trial three services using next-generation tele-presence from 2014 --------- What the heck is a 'next-generation tele-presence'?? Anyone? Within six months: Complete review of NBN Co commercial progress Complete independent audit of NBN design Complete independent review into long-term structure and regulation of telecommunications --------- Complete as in 'finish' or complete as in 'comprehensive'? Within first two months: Start root-and-branch review of competition laws ------------------- Telecommunications anyone? Newspapers? Retail giants? And what really does 'root and branch' mean? First sitting fortnight: Amend laws to ensure registered organisations and their officials have to play by the same rules as companies and their directors ---------- Not sure how that's going to work since 'registered organisations' that are not-for-profit as well as corps register with states, don't they? I know our clubs do. Is this more smoke or is he making a play for something involving unions and not thinking through the whole range of what 'registered organisations' means?
