The Pillars of Gov 2.0 #g2e #gov20 #cloud #australia

Senator Kate Lundy @katelundy
  • Australian government - seeing a lot in UK, US, and Canada
  • Pillars: Democratizing data, make information publicly available in useful open format.  Attitude and practice needed. (GovHack)
  • Citizen-Centric Services: always up-to-date.  Not obscured by org-chart of gov.  Give personal detail based on personal info they are willing to provide.
  • Participatory Government: always been there with voting.  Making collaboration in developing laws.  Crowdsorcing at its most constructive.  
  • Each of these can improve trust.  Australia has made remarkable progress in this regard.  Requires leadership and shared goal.
  • Universal national broadband network.  Computer in every secondary student.  Unrivaled.  Know they can invest in Gov2.0
  • New Freedom of Info act, and Information Commissioner designate - already appointed.  Guides disclosure, management, and usability of data from gov.
  • There is Gov2.0 blueprint doc.  Gov 2.0 Taskforce
  • New Gov2.0 showcase of initiatives.
  • Must transform or become irrelevant.  Focus on Democratizing data, citizen-centric services, and participatory Government.
