Resource URL: http://www.agimo.gov.au/publications/2007/september/consultation_blog_discussion_paper
Resource Description: This Australian government consultation blog discussion paper explores how all Australian government consultations could be made accessible and be promoted online via a single website.
Extending the blog concept to government consultations, the consultation blog is envisaged as a website that lists consultations and allows people to post responses, comments and feedback against each consultation. This paper also discusses a number of enhancements to the blog concept which have been proven in other internet contexts to encourage participation by people.
