Transforming democracy in Australia with https://t.co/Iu8nktdrz1, https://t.co/q9NbxrZWgr, https://t.co/x3SJlbLoFr and more. @oaf@social.oaf.org.au Digital Library Services for Democracy OpenAustralia Foundation helps people participate directly and positively in political processes. We do this by helping people find information they need to better inform decisions that affect their lives. We believe these initially experimental services over time also help shift people s relationships to accessing parliamentary and government held information. This year more people than ever before used information from openaustralia.org.au and TheyVoteForYou.org.au to see what their representatives say in parliament and how they vote on changes to our laws. We let people know about local planning proposals which helps them participate in the planning process. We made it easier for people to request information of public interest held by federal, state, or local government authorities on their behalf, and publish correspondence regarding those requests, and resulting information supplied, helping build public understanding of the culture and practices of such requests. We helped people collect data from their governments by sharing our knowledge of web scraping and running scrapers for civil society, private and public institutions and Individuals. Because all these records are publicly available, government bodies may also more easily learn from the public and one another. We facilitated these activities via OpenAustralia.org.au, TheyVoteForYou.org.au, PlanningAlerts.org.au, RightToKnow.org.au, oaf.org.au, morph.io, their associated social channels. We continue to host OpenGovernment.org.au for the Australian Open Government Partnership Civil Society Network, and maintain an archive of information discovered in each service we operate. We maintain a historical collection of election ephemera at Electionleaflets.org.au
