The Parl Library are fast today! Prof Chen's talk is up: Gov 2.0: Online engagement or neo-liberal trojan horse http://t.co/To6Q3Bl #gov2au #
Chen: adhocracies work for short term practical projects, but have bad long term impact on democratic participation #gov2au #
Chen: points for consideration 1) Roles/relationship between citizens & gov 2) Gov as platform for coordinated innovation/engagement #gov2au #
Chen: public debate is undermined by the public competition for personal benefits. #gov2au <~ Interesting theory. #
Chen: issue with public sphere is that ppl need to be able to agree on def of public good, "Habermas' public sphere was a boys club" #gov2au #
Chen: governmental can engage with existing online public sphere. But many who talk about public spheres don't define what they mean #gov2au #
Chen: It's assumed there is a decline in public democratic participation, but party membership not a good/true measurement #gov2au #
I'm actually quite impressed with Chen thus far, he has a tech bent on #gov20 but also quite thoughtful & insightful in his analysis #gov2au #
Chen: production of content used to be prepare, edit, publish, but social media is prepare, publish & engage ppl in iterative edits #gov2au #
Chen: Obama had radical web campaign but most funds still from trad sources, was tightly controlled. Not as bleeding edge as assumed #gov2au #
Chen: internet is disruptive tech, eg undermined traditional news model, pressure to do more for less & journos more reliant on pr #gov2au #
He's looking at #gov20 tech facilitated democracy in Australia, underlying assumptions implications. Says #gov2au based on several premise #
Listening to Prof Peter Chen "online engagement, or a neo-liberal Trojan horse". He's saying our relationship to tech has changed #gov2au #

Question about security in nbn design. A: they're looking at physical layer security but most attacks are other network layers #nbngungahlin #

I think gov comms need to consider that aggregation, localisation, #datavis & value adding is important to help citizens tune in #gov2au #
.@jason_a_w making great point about how western democracies are now "post-broadcast" /cc @Paris_David @damonism @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? #
Can anyone explain to me why punching a punching bag for 10 minutes would make a normally mild hand tremor quite unworkable? #
Listening to Prof Jim Macnamara & @jason_a_w. New word: cyperbole.I'm going to have to post the first of my online culture series tonight #

Am watching a guy talk to primary school kids about the SKA project. Awesome to see kids get excited about science and space! #geek #
Haha RT @doneas There are 10 kinds of people. Those who know binary math and those who do not. #geek #
.@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 #

Dalai Lama says as citizens of democracy, we have individual responsibility to promote freedom. #
Dalai Lama: self centred ppl has inner door closed. They distrust, are lonely, view becomes narrow. Important to educate about well being. #
Dalai Lama: multifaith communities must respect all religions, but not preference any, especially when it comes to education curriculum. #
Dalai Lama says it is important to introduce genuine secular education about ethics to help people to improve compassion, health & harmony. #
Dalai Lama: "since my childhood I have always respected the democratic system, and want to create genuine Tibetan democracy" #
Dalai Lama: we all have equal and great capacity for creation or destruction. #
Awww. Barnaby Joyce says his mum used to write to the Dalai Lama, and he was the only world leader that responded. Cute #
