With less than two weeks until Election Day, what are our political leaders saying about information technology and communications and how will we ensure that Australia keeps pace in a new era of digital communications?
We’re teaming up with the Australian Computer Society, Viocorp and Sky News to bring you a pre-election forum with Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy; Shadow Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, the Hon Tony Smith MP; and Greens ICT spokesperson, Senator Scott Ludlam.
YouTube will live stream the ICT Policy Forum on (youtube.com/australiavotes) where each participant will outline their party’s stance and key election priorities in the ICT area, as well as strategic visions for the next decade.
In addition to the live stream, the YouTube channel will feature live twitter feeds (#ausvotes, #ITElectionForum), and a playback video of the forum will be available to view from youtube.com/australiavotes following the event. Want to get more engaged with the upcoming election, and find out about important issues for our digital future? Here’s your chance.
The event will begin at 12:55pm AEST, and run through to 2:05 pm AEST on Tuesday 10 August.
