| The Coalition will have government agencies accelerate their use of cloud computing, have citizens transacting with government over a digital mailbox by 2017 and will ask innovative businesses to help the federal government make Australia more creative.
Communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull unveiled the initiatives in the Coalition’s Policy for E-Government and the Digital Economy on Monday.
“In this document we set out a range of important policy measures that will super charge Australia’s government role in the digital economy of the 21st century,” Mr Turnbull told a press conference in Melbourne. Advertisement
While he steered away from discussing the technical details of the national broadband network, Mr Turnbull tried to keep the focus on the initiatives that he said would make Australia more competitive.
He revived a plan for “electronic pigeon holes” first floated in 2005, and again in 2011.
This time Mr Turnbull put a deadline on the plan, wanting businesses and citizens – that chose to adopt it - to have all their government correspondence, including federal, state and local agencies, going to one email address.
