Australian’s for the most part are a cyncial bunch. And you know that saying “could only happen in America”.

Well, wait until you hear this. This really only could happen here - in Australia.

Apparently, the government wants to get into blogging. And instead of just finding someone to go set up a wordpress or typepad site, they decided to engage an army of consultants and issue a discussion paper. Sort of to discuss it before we even get started.

From The Age:

The discussion paper, released by Special Minister of State Gary Nairn, asks people to say how they would like to use an online consultation website and what features they would want to have included in it. Feedback will go into a public report.

The paper raises the issue of whether registration should be required to use the consultation blog.

“This is a complex question,” the paper says. “Registration potentially helps ensure that the views expressed in the forum are representative; however, it is also likely to discourage usage of the consultation blog.”

 First of all,

They’re idiots.
