[LINK] Public data

[Marghanita da Cruz]

As a reuser of government data (Annandale Short Walk Books 
http://ramin.com.au/walks/) I welcome this:

> Public data. The data that is produced and held by the Australian
> Government is a
> national resource with the potential to help grow the economy, stimulate
> innovation, improve service delivery and enable more targeted policy
> outcomes.
> The Prime Minister’s December 2015 Australian Government Public Data
> Policy
> Statement is an important step towards the better management of this
> national
> resource. It commits Australian Government agencies to optimise the
> use and reuse
> of public data; to release non-sensitive data as ‘open’ by default;
> and to collaborate
> with the private and research sectors to share valuable public data
> for the benefit of
> the Australian public. Requests for access to public data can be made via
> data.gov.au.

As would Google:

> A data-sharing agreement obtained by New Scientist shows that Google DeepMind's collaboration with the NHS goes far beyond what it has publicly announced
