The Taskforce might like to follow Senator Lundy's lead with the Public 
Sphere process, which blends online consultation with old fashioned 
meetings. The Senator provided a video about the Public Sphere process 
for my e-commerce students at the ANU:

There are some challenges in incorporating blogs, wikis and instant 
messaging into government consultation processes. I have set the 
students assignment questions asking how to incorporate online 
discussions, archive video with metadata and use long term open formats 
for academia and government.

ps: Professor Dieter Rombach, Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for 
Experimental Software Engineering will talk on "Demand-Driven 
E-Government – A European Perspective" at NICTA in Canberra 19 August 
2009: <http://cecs.anu.edu.au/seminars/showone.pl?SID=923>.
