Google Election 2010 political panel

I love election time and these days, the Internet makes it so easy to access information about political issues and participate in political debate. Last week, Google Australia was honoured to host three politicians who certainly care deeply about the Internet and communications online.

Senator Kate Lundy, Paul Fletcher MP, Senator Scott Ludlam, and AEC State Manager Doug Orr attended a press conference at Google Australia to launch new Google initiatives to make it easier for Australians to engage and participate in the 2010 election.

You can see videos of this event at youtube.com/australiavotes, including speeches and a lively panel discussion covering filtering, broadband policy, maths education and voting age. The panel were grilled by school students, journalists, and citizen reporters from youtube.com/electionWIRE.
