  • Had a rant about politics vs democracy to @grogsgamut after Prof Macnamara & @jason_a_w preso. That's what happens when phone batteries die! #
  • Fair call RT dmottolini: @piawaugh also simplified access. So much info is out there but gov fails on the accessibility and user experience. #
  • Is answer to have better more engaged education about democracy/gov at school? @Paris_David @damonism @jason_a_w @GrogsGamut @jovianshadow #

  • Thoughts for Macnamara. 1) politics vs democracy/gov 2) network analysis to create context 3) value of social media for applied purpose #
  • Macnamara isn't really differentiating between campaigning online & #Gov20 One's political, one's about democracy & how gov serves citizens #
  • Totally! RT @Davidramli: @piawaugh You know what film would be awesome with Bruce Campbell in the lead role? All of them. #
  • Macnamara says IT ppl often not friendly. I think until tech depts are seen as enablers rather than just cost centre it will be hard #gov2au #
  • Macnamara is talking about how even though online makes things available, the stats are still low in terms of online engagement.#gov2au #
  • Macnamara: most fake pollie accounts outed very quickly, this says a lot about credibility online. Perhaps its harder to trick ppl online? #

  • .@EllyfromOZ i.e. it's not a matter of suck or not. We all have a part to play in democracy & the more ppl participating the better it'll be #
  • .@EllyfromOZ I think we too easily divvy world into dualistic perspectives which make it hard to understand that life (& gov) is complex 🙂 #
  • LOL at current results RT @ABC_NewsRadio Webpoll: Do we have political leaders we deserve? http://bit.ly/ABCNR http://twitpic.com/5bn3oa #
