Stephen Conroy's Digital Economy Future Directions departmental blog has been up and running for the last nine days or so.
In his welcome post Lindsay Tanner said:
We are also genuine about wanting to use online consultation to improve government-citizen relationships around public policy. We want real outcomes from online consultation, not a new channel to distribute a press release.
We hear you... posted this blog on 12 December.
Really? Then why does this particular post try to avoid mentioning the hundreds of anti-Internet censorship comments that were lodged on the blog.
According to Conroy's spin meisters all is rosy in the garden, despite most of the comments received being considered irrelevant by their calculations. Using a coy and corny tactic to inform us of the fact - FDB suggested.
The majority of the 744 comments on Minister Tanner's welcome were against mandatory national ISP-level filtering.
What does the digital economy encompass? What does it mean for Australians? post is littered with criticism of Internet filtering.
Open access to public sector information contains anti-censorship comment.
Everyone had given up by the time Setting the right regulatory framework was published - not a soul had commented by mid-afternoon last Tuesday.
