[LINK] Lessons from the London Bombings for Australia

[Tom Worthington]

On Friday at the NSW State Library I noticed a print copy on display 
of "Lessons from London and Considerations for Australia: London 
Terrorist Attacks 7 July 2005" 
<http://www.ema.gov.au/agd/EMA/rwpattach.nsf/VAP/(22D92C3251275720C801B3314F7A9BA2)~Merged+london+book+.pdf/$file/Merged+london+book+.pdf>. 
This was released by the Australian Attorney General, 22 May 2007. 
Some of the points raised in the report are the role of volunteers 
and the need for better communications.

Unfortunately the report will not be as widely read as it should, due 
to the way EMA formatted and distributed it. The report is only 28 
pages long, but has been formatted in PDF with high resolution 
images, as a result this the document is 2.74 Mbytes, far larger than 
it need be. Also copying from the report has been disabled, making it 
difficult to reformat into a more efficient format and to quote from. 
EMA should implement  the AGIMO Government Web Publishing Guide.
