We will know that the Australian Government is serious about technology when it starts to effectively represent and protect its citizens interests in how it regulates and taxes the various [tech] multi-national corporates.

Plus, when it starts appointing senior executives who actually understand information and communications technology enough to implement well researched evidence based policy.

And finally, when the government and its senior executive is held to account for making reactive and moral-panic based ineffective laws, ignoring people with real skills and subject expertise to then determine technical solutions, and ultimately failing to govern.
