[Tom Worthington]

Greetings from the Operation Sunlight Briefing in Canberra, where I 
am blogging and Twittering. Operation Sunlight is an initiative from 
the Australian Minister for Finance to make government budgetary 
processes more transparent.
Unfortunately while there is a lot of documentation, none of it seems 
to clearly set out exactly what the object of the exercise is:

What are the key objectives of Operation Sunlight?

Operation Sunlight has six key objectives:
    * Tightening the outcomes and outputs framework;
    * Changing the Budget Papers to improve their readability and usefulness;
    * Improving the transparency of estimates;
    * Expanding the reach of budget reporting;
    * Improving inter-generational reporting; and
    * Improving the financial framework.
