National digital content production and open access are topics on the federal government agenda. See: Australia’s Digital Economy: Future Directions Snapshot

“Open access to appropriate categories of public sector information can drive digital economy and innovation benefits, subject to privacy, national security or confidentiality issues. In this context, ‘open access’ means access on terms and in formats that clearly permit and enable such use and reuse by any member of the public.” (p9)
