  • .@bernietb it does make a difference to call out false advertising. I agree system far from perfect, but if nothing done it'd be defunct. #

  • .@sherro58 giving great talk about IT in gov. Dickens "IT was the best of times, IT was the worst of times" 🙂 At ACS Canberra conf. #

  • .@gmggranger yeah, I get back on the bike hopefully this weekend. VERY excited 🙂 #
  • Listening to KPMG talk about emerging tech trends at ACS Canberra conference. Always interesting to see what others think. #

  • .@deanlk @NETDe Yeah, there are some good core points that could be teased out but they're lost amongst the fluff #twittamentary #barcampcbr #
  • This Twitter movie is quite vacuous. Sorry, but apart from a few specific stories, it is just a lot of SMEGs spouting buzzwords. #barcampcbr #
  • Haha 🙂 @loquacities made yummy cupcakes to promote #lca2013 enjoyed by @ruthellison & @share_s enjoying #barcamcbr http://t.co/CSGODQIB #
  • Haha 🙂 @loquacity made some yummy cupcakes to promote #lca2013 enjoyed by @ruthellison & @share_s enjoying #barcamcbr http://t.co/CSGODQIB #
  • .@moldor knowledge -> empowerment. No knowledge -> disempowerment. Machiavelli was right, uneducated pop biggest challenge for democracy #
  • .@moldor If people have absolutely no engagement with their democracy, there is a prob. Esp when gov has such big impact on their lives. #
  • .@moldor Democracy that isn't mandatory is no democracy 🙂 When 30% population decide the leadership that isn't exactly representative 😛 #
  • Craig talking on how filter bubbles of Google/socmed/etc making it easier for people to have confirmation bias & not good info #barcampcbr #
  • Craig: only way to stand against 10yr movement to undermine public trust in public/academic institutions -> higher moral ground #barcampcbr #
  • Great point by Chris, the lack of mandatory voting in the US has led to intentional polarisation of public debate. Massive prob #barcampcbr #
  • Listening to Craig Cormick at #barcampcbr about science communication http://t.co/3wrqcagI Fantastic talk. Issues around quality comms #
  • My two talks at #barcampcbr 3pm discussing #gov2au community devel, 3.30pm talk #society5 & #distributeddemocracy http://t.co/s5jjJGBn 🙂 #
  • Cool RT @stuarthorrex: just followed @nathansdunn creating scube.me mapping & geospatial tools for the dive community #BarCampCBR #opendata #
  • The points we're encouraged to remember from war on science talk at #barcampcbr 🙂 @tribalscientist would approve 🙂 http://t.co/0ft5QeVj #
  • Droid users at #barcampcbr connect to anu-secure & 8 char pass requested internal, use 11111111 then use conf pw for identity, guest & pw 🙂 #
  • Have dobbed @craigthomler @trib @gavintapp & other #gov2au peeps to come to a gov 2.0 community development session at 3pm at #barcampcbr 🙂 #
  • Have submitted a talk I gave to OSDC about #opengov to another conf due to #recordfail it's not a bad #gov2au talk 🙂 http://t.co/g9TEJ4dh #
  • I am *such* a geek. Just set up wireless network properly (love my linksys w dd-wrt) & after much consideration set essid as Winterfell 🙂 #
  • .@craigthomler yes. 1 changing public attitudes & needs, 2 policy & legislative changes of past few years, 3 OAIC office & state ICs #gov2au #
  • .@FakePaulKeating yeah, see what you think of the actual policy, esp "public comment" section halfway down this page. http://t.co/aneyG1gd #
  • .@NickHodgeMSFT it's my personal experience too, but many manage it through multiple accounts and the like. I think it's doable. #
  • .@FakePaulKeating interesting. Link? @grogsgamut is a pretty obvious precedent that challenges that 🙂 #
  • Yes RT @Kiwiseabreeze: @piawaugh I think its really important to think/talk about where that balance should lie…. #futureofsecrecy #
  • Here privacy/security only exceptions RT @bxmx: I think many tend to overuse closed. I tend to ask why shouldn't something be shared 1st…. #
  • .@purserj indeed, too much ideology means we don't get to practical implementation & don't get ahead. Opengov is a continuum, not binary. #
  • .@bxmx exactly, that is why binary approach to dialogue is so unhelpful. We need to get beyond open vs closed to more informed discussion. #
  • .@FakePaulKeating why? I thought it's quite good & big step forward. Explicitly says ppl in APS are citizens too. How would you improve it? #
  • Public sector information as a public resource (& publicly available) is huge change in gov policy & culture. Still new tho #futureofsecrecy #
  • I find it odd some ppl think no one in gov should have private conversations. More openness needed, esp policy devel, but there's a balance. #
  • Not rly, just 1 event 😛 MT @paulwallbank: #futureofsecrecy is private under Chatham House rules tells all we need to know re #gov20 future #
  • Sorry, yes another speaker at #futureofsecrecy RT @MartyAtDell: @piawaugh Me 2!!! #
  • .@BernardKeane I met a "futurist" who heard my background & said "you should be a futurist, we need more chicks". #totallyvaluedformybrain #
  • Point being made at #futureofsecrecy that trade negotiation in secret doesn't work. "Is counterproductive for just about everyone". #
  • The Lowy #futureofsecrecy blog with some interesting contributions from gov (inc defense), journalists & other analysts http://t.co/SRQnKbDu #
  • #futureofsecrecy forum is under Chatham House rule, so I won't quote people, but rather will share my thoughts. #compromise #
  • Lowy Institute #futureofsecrecy forum kicking off. Speakers inc @nicholasgruen, @turnbullmalcolm, OAIC John MacMillan & Maurie MacNarn. #
  • Going to a Lowy Institute forum on gov and secrecy. Should be interesting. Will live tweet. http://t.co/HJlMRkFL #
  • Would anyone else our there be interested in a #FuCamp a barcamp for martial arts? 🙂 #
  • .@craigthomler @trib Strawmen are best burned in my opinion 😉 Will check it out. Have a meeting now but the discussion is great to have! 🙂 #
  • .@trib Also, not acting is subject to how much one group can do. We need whole of APS moving. Grassroots devel will help lift everything up #
  • Yes, THIS RT @jzb: watching morning TV is like reading Slashdot comments. I don't recommend either. #
  • .@trib I understand frustration, part. as from outside things aren't clear, which needs fixing. I have a good feeling things will improve 😉 #
  • .@trib Sometimes I think you just like to be indignant. I've joined #gov2au discussion. We need to discuss problems, not jump to solutions #
  • Hah! Prolly RT @purserj: @piawaugh @latikambourke let me guess, "Next: How to keep your man happy in bed while keeping the house OCD clean"? #
  • .@trib heh, look forward to also reading your ideas to move forward, so to speak. There's already too much unconstructive ranty 😉 #
  • Wow. "Do you honestly honestly feel just as beautiful without your makeup?" Arghhhh!!! THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD! #morningtvblues #
  • As in, no makeup? Makeup isn't beauty. RT @tenbreakfast: Naked Face Project: We talk to two ladies going without a beauty regime for 60 days #
  • Wow, breakfast television makes me feel ill. Apparently women can be builders because we do a lot of sewing (whut?). Lucky Ben 10 is on 🙂 #
  • Just watched Fiddler on the Roof for the first time, in the theatre (at ANU). Was BRILLIANT! Amazing acting, singing, props, music. #fb #
  • .@bxmx tues after a long weekend is mega Monday. #
  • .@steveathon Coolies, if you are a gamer you might also appreciate "Ezio's more fun" 🙂 http://t.co/0YB2CK3l #
  • Ah, "Cloud". I love it when ppl say "no hardware or software necessary!" or come up with the weirdest excuses to not host in Aus. #
  • Currently listening to an interesting speech in Australian Parliament on #tpp (radio). Sounds like Senator Christine Milne? See Hansard l8r #
  • Funny RT "US withdraws IANA RFP, ‘no suitable responses’, ICANN manages to lose a one-horse race" http://t.co/rEYdLSNL via @regvulture #
  • #spinaltapbabby RT @thewetmale Yes RT @DavidParis: RT @evcricket: Woah. Babby found the volume knob. And then found 11. #babbywatch #

  • Fantastic! RT @gavintapp: @piawaugh My fave 404 http://t.co/ojiePKri complete with 3d effects #
  • Haha for 404's RT @lukehopewell: @piawaugh If they make this the new 404 page I wouldn't care: http://t.co/YkgB3yh5 #
  • Seems to be a lot of 404's on the new APH website http://t.co/j2Ohamdc including from menu items in the footer. Hope they are fixed soon. #

  • This. RT @cjjosh: @tlcassandra @piawaugh While all this is madness I still love our system and all this happens without guns #
  • .@vlrojas machiavelli did say one of the biggest threats to democracy was an uneducated public. Clever, that one 😉 #paraphrasing #
  • .@Matt_Ros where's the blood? If our politics were a fraction of the violent rhetoric espoused, we would be in dire straits /cc @tlcassandra #
  • Yes RT @tlcassandra I especially loathe comparing argument to combat. Today mean things will be said but noone will require bandaging. #
  • .@stuarthorrex to be fair, news should have integrity, critical analysis & enhance public dialogue rather than hype 😛 /cc @abcmarkscott #
  • .@manaz_d sure, a majority is more efficient, and less democratic. Just like a dictatorship 😉 #
  • Yes, with their scary faces and small hands. RT @shinyseal: @piawaugh maccas: temple of the clown #

  • .@cjjosh yes, hyperbole at times breathtaking. I've a theory that violent language is in inverse proportion to violence in modern politics. #
  • Today will be most irritating. I wonder if enough angst & hyperbole could change the fact Australia is doing pretty good in every sense. #fb #
  • .@adobernard08 do you know how our election system works? Ps, we did have our say, we got minority gov, better outcome democratically 🙂 #fb #

  • Gar, fascinating discussion atm whether Aus can compete on cloud services due to international latency/local laws & I'm stuck USB tethering! #
  • Yeah, this is a fascinating discussion tho because it goes to heart of validity of Aus capacity @steve_evil @rbtcollins @mikal @stewartsmith #
  • Thx all. Au cloud services a ? due to latency/laws @cgiffard @johnallsopp @rockyh @johnallsopp @rockyh @stewartsmith @jimboot @stryqx @mikal #
  • Would more international pipes help? RT @stryqx: @jimboot @piawaugh will no-one think of the physics? Useful only if latency not important. #
  • Me too. Would be difficult T9 compete is think RT @jimboot: @piawaugh I'd be interested in the cost diff between Au & us cloud #aiiasummit #
  • Thx RT @RockyH: @piawaugh it's not so much about safe harbour being an issue setting up cloud data centers here but latency and capacity. #
  • Lucky they have us 😉 Loud constructive input important MT @trib: Too many still wowed by celebrity & buzzwords rather than dirty hands IMO #
  • Happy bday! You guys are too cute 🙂 RT @nambor: …perfect day for a birthday too @alexmyoung 8) Happy birthday – I love you heaps!! #

  • Sure 🙂 RT @TheFlashpacker: @piawaugh hey we're sitting behind you live streaming #aiiasummit could you RT the link? http://t.co/FPdk38xX #
  • .@trib heh, but Stephen, cynicism should not blind you or lead to pessimism. Everything always w/ critical thinking. Otherwise you miss out. #
  • Vivek: often gov collaboration stalled by us vs them attitude. Hard to get ppl over that. #aiiasummit #gov2au #
  • .@trib hah, @stilgherrian's cynicism sometimes get in the way 😉 I'm not breathless, he us making some good points. Certainly some hype too #
  • Vivek in response to ? on what he'd do differently: move faster. He wants more focus on reforming gov hiring to get better ppl #aiiasummit #
  • Vivek: tech isn't a panacea, you still have disconnected ppl, you need to engage w/ *all* the ppl. But don't use that as excuse #aiiasummit #
  • Vivek: there is a shift in power from a few gov officials to the ppl. Which was the point of democracy but now we have the tech. #aiiasummit #
  • .@stilgherrian have you looked at it? I understand being cynical of dashboard hype, but it's a very cool project. #itdashboard #aiiasummit #
  • .@lukehopewell I think he is v interesting. At last nights #gov2au dinner he spoke about shift in society w SOPA as eg of public rebelling #
  • .@FCTweedie totally. Cloud is like outsourcing, similar risk unless carefully considered & strategic control maintained #aiiasummit #
  • Heh RT @stilgherrian: "Darwinian pressures of the consumer web!" DRINK! #AIIASummit #
  • Vivek: innovation in gov requires good policy/procurement & good people. He made the same point at last nights #gov2au event. #aiiasummit #
  • Vivek's shift to "cloud first" strategy was result of frustration with gov use and misuse of tech. #aiiasummit #
  • Vivek: when we identified issue projects we put then on hold & put sector on notice. We cancelled wasteful/failed contracts #aiiasummit #
  • Vivek: talking about IT Dashboard, a very cool initiative & open sourced too 🙂 He challenged the status quo and focused on outcomes #gov2au #
  • Vivek gave kudos to Minister Conroy for his cloud speech & to @katelundy for her work on public participation. Yay 🙂 #gov2au #aiiasummit #
  • At #aiiasummit on #cloud Be interesting to see how balanced it is. I think "cloud" useful if considered carefully http://t.co/f8In3ZMb #
  • Yes. Neither are top clicks from YouTube RT @bernietb: Oi, News Breakfast, Obama tweeting a valentines message to his wife is NOT news. FFS. #
  • Vivek on ? of gov procurement: centralised policies important but whole of gov contracts in consultation w depts. Mandate won't work #gov2au #
  • Vivek: procurement policy that disrupts status quo & enables engagement with innovative players is vital for gov innovation #gov2au #
  • Vivek on ? re gov as tech change agent: gov should demand projects on time, good service. He challenged sector to better serve #gov2au #
  • Currently a debate about whether online if even what citizens want, need. Good comments from the floor & Vivek #gov2au #
  • Gr8 point. At least you're not alone RT @AMCSviatko: @piawaugh But how do you recognise them & utilise them? #frustratedchangeagent #gov2au #
  • Vivek: the danger is to not move, to play safe. It's vital to move and be thoughtful but bold to use the opp. #gov2au #
  • And #gov2au @craigthomler 🙂 RT @USAembassyinOZ: Check out @piawaugh for "tech, #opengov & innovation" with @VivekKundra right now! #
  • Vivek on ? of Digital Divide & representation: NBN major opp, but elsewhere you need to figure out innovative ways to engage ppl #gov2au #
  • Vivek on expectation mgmt: … but ppl do have many useful contributions to make, so you need to facilitate & support that #gov2au #
  • Vivek on ? on expectation mgmt of #gov20 we are in transition period. Ppl don't trust gov or feel they have voice. Need to persist #gov2au #
  • Vivek on my ? on innovation in tech: you need to let go of ppl who don't innovate, hiring practices important to get change agents #gov2au #
  • I'm starting to think I should invite @vivekkundra to contribute to #society5 & the #distributeddemocracy 🙂 #
  • Vivek: #gov20 community, both in gov and in citizenship are driving innovation. Gov investment on NBN very important to innovation #gov2au #
  • Vivek: it is now easier to innovate and compete due to new tech, and those that innovate dominate, as they fill the space. #gov2au #
  • Vivek: European changes 2 gov transparency drove out inappropriate stuff. Basically new shift in power makes transparency inevitable #gov2au #
  • Vivek: Indian gov drove aggressive FOI changes, results of the transformation was short term pushback, longer term transparency #gov2au #
  • Vivek: SOPA a good example of conflict of old and new ideas, old and new models. It made for a public uprising & diff outcome. #gov2au #
  • Vivek: why is gov behind the ball? Basically because gov has traditionally looked to small groups, now gov needs to expand this #gov2au #
  • *Loving* this talk! #gov2au #
  • Vivek: greater shift in power today than ever before due to technology. 5b mobile devices. Everyone can be a sensor & publisher #gov2au #
  • Vivek: #opengov is an epic war between the status quo and progress. Inertia in gov is hard. There's a universal shift in power #gov2au #
  • Going to try live Tweeting @vivekkundra on tech, #opengov & innovation. @craigthomler is also here so follow #gov2au 🙂 #
