I would like to see these consultations conducted via Web 2.0 sites – it is so difficult to attend F2F meetings these days!

Not exactly Web 2 by any stretch of the imagination.

This ties in nicely with what you were saying about web 2.0 aware governments too, madepercy. I think it’s a great idea.

Some federal government departments and other states are using these tools right? why is the ACT government not doing it?

That depends on what ‘tools’ you mean?

Thanks Jonathon.
I have often seen attempts by government to engage with people using every available means, only to find people are still unaware of what is going on.
In the media reports etc on the consultation, there was no mention of the website or the online survey.
But if TAMS had a twitter profile, I would definitely follow it! The same goes for public hearings in Canberra (senate committees etc) and so on.
It is much easier to access info from one source, rather than having to visit individual websites on a regular basis. But deciding which platform to use for community consultation is going to be a problem for some time to come!

See my post on what Randwick City Council is doing in comparison to the current ACT Government’s efforts.
