The policy is good. But it is a shame AGIMO used Microsoft® Office Word
2007 to create the document in PDF format. Would have been a nice touch
to to use open source software to create the document and then
distribute as an easy to read Web page.

Also it would have been good to release the document under a creative
commons licence in accordance with Australian Government policy. As it
is there is no licence stated in the document and so presumably
Commonwealth copyright applies, prohibiting free use of the document.

It would also be good if AGIMO could use web addresses of less than 75
characters for their documents, so they can be easily used.
