- Vision [1]
- By embracing Government 2.0 we can: • Make government more democratic, participatory and informed; • Cultivate and harness
the enthusiasm of citizens, letting them more fully contribute to their communities; • Improve service delivery by allowing
the users of those services much greater participation in their design and continual improvement; • Revitalise our public
sector and make policy advice more relevant to and reflective of citizen needs and concerns by: o involving communities of
interest and practice outside the public sector which offer unique access to expertise and local knowledge; o providing it
with the tools for a much greater level of responsiveness; o equipping it with better informed public servants by encouraging
them to interact directly with the community – so as to better appreciate their needs; and o more successfully attracting
and retaining bright, enthusiastic citizens to public service by making their work less hierarchical, more collaborative and
more intrinsically rewarding. • Unlock the immense economic and social value of a huge resource – the information and other
content already held by governments – to fuel Australia’s innovative capacity. Government 2.0 will accordingly be central
to delivering on critical national objectives including our National Innovation Agenda, improving the quality, flexibility
and agility of our public service, and allowing us to make the most of our huge investment in broadband and other enabling
infrastructure to make Australia a more connected democracy.
