The text of <http://csa.gov.au/> loaded in 15 seconds (images in 30
seconds) on a 256/64kbps wireless link using Firefox 2.0.0.6, which
is acceptable. There were some minor formatting problems: the text of
the footer was unreadable, being overwritten due to font size
problems. There is also an animated image of different language names
which on the bottom of the left menu, which does not appear to make a
lot of sense. There were also some minor syntax errors in the HTML.
It is not a particularly bad web page, but not very good. The page
has 180 links on it, which is excessive. It passes an automated
accessibility test at the lowest level (Level 1), but fails at levels 2 and 3.
