GreensBlog moves

As well as OpenAustralia being tweaked to focus on the Senate, the folks at GreensBlog have also welcomed in the first sitting of the new Senate tomorrow with a new address and look for the blog and a new website which should facilitate greater transparency and interactivity with the Greens Senators.

OpenAustralia opens up the Senate

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.
