theyvoteforyou.org.au played a crucial role in the Federal election. With so many claims made on sitting MPs stances, this was one of the few ways to cut through the noise and disinformation and see how they actually voted in parliament. Please support donate.oaf.org.au

Every couple of years I retweet myself :/ Could an #ICAC be all the better with an open government approach to help inform design and hold implementation to account?
Wow. Amazing to come across the Open Government manifesto from 2016, as Australia first dived into the Open Government Partnership. It wasn't the first time Aussies asked for a proper Federal Integrity Initiative & won't be the last. #ogp #ogpau #opengov opengovernment.org.au/2016/0…
