Australia, New Internet Cabinet Post

Oz. Australia has created a new Cabinet level post whose purpose is to promote the internet there. Really don’t know how to take it since I don’t live under a parliamentary system of government. Were something like this proposed in the US it would probably be looked on as feather bedding and double effort since we have an FCC created by Congress to over see issues like this. Hopefully this is a positive development at least from the perspective of awareness. Possibly the ‘Net will be treated as a critical infrastructure component that it is.

Any Australians want to chime in with an opinion? We’ll post them here as we get them.
