Angus Taylor MP, Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister for Cities and 
Digital Transformation, emphasized the importance of government 
releasing raw data for the research and private sector to use in his 
talk Wednesday night at Parliament House.

I was supposed to be on a panel after, but the Minister was so

author of "The Promise of Digital Government", published 1 April 2016 
(but is not a spoof). This is, ironically, is not available free 
on-line, but there is an Amazon preview:
