When I noted the establishment of OpenAustralia as a new initiative in facilitating public scrutiny of Parliament, I expressed a wish that the Senate would be included as well as the House – because that’s where a lot of the action is in terms of committees and bills. I’m very pleased to read that just in time for the first sitting of the new Senate next week – when The Greens, Nick Xenophon and Steve Fielding will hold the balance of power – they’ve added the Senate to their website.

Thanks for the heads-up Kim. Look forward to seeing what they produce.
Thanks for the post.
I didn’t even know the site existed. Another way to spend my Saturday afternoons!
How about mapping out the entire state sector? As we pay for their salaries they should not expect the same privacy rights we do. We should at least know the position, salary and name and address of all present government employee’s.
Thanks for this, the site just got a whole lot more useful.
