Ahh .. virtual government .. & what's hard about secure web-conferencing?
Australia 2020 Summit - Final Report: http://pandora.nla.gov.au/tep/81461
for Chpt 9, "The Future of Australian Governance" WORD 522KB, PDF 370KB
Chapter 9 mentions the Internet twice seriously, & then simply in passing:
The circus of question time doesnt give a positive view of
parliament or promote confidence in the system. The community should be
able to contribute questions to parliament. This could be achieved by
greater use of technology such as the internet.
Government doesnt seem to be using the internet. It could be
such a powerful forum but is currently under-used in the government
context.

One certainly hopes that final quote isn't true for Australia in 2020 AD.
