One topic for the Digital Culture Public Sphere would be how easy it is 
for Australian authors to publish on-line in Australia.

The National Cultural Policy discussion paper, released by Simon Crean, 
Australian Minister for the Arts, on 11 August 2011 is at: 
http://culture.arts.gov.au/discussion-paper

There was a Book Industry Strategy Group (BISG) set up by Senator The 
Hon Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Researcn, 
in 15 February 2010:

But that seems to be more about propping up the declining paper based 
printing industry, not mainstream digital publishing.

My grumble about publishing is at:
