It’s like a virtual 2020 Summit for the whole country. It’s totally a grassroots effort. It’s free, can be anonymous, and isn’t being sponsored by any political party, corporation, union, or special interests. It’s just people who want to encourage an online national brainstorming session.<BR/><BR/>The site is at http://ozideas.wetpaint.com. There are pages for over 20 different issues and even an online petition to get the best ideas heard at the actual Summit.<BR/><BR/>For your amusement and that of the public’s, we also created a funny web “commercial” for the site – it’s of Kevin Rudd, Brendan Nelson, and Peter Garrett break dancing. Check that out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQZa17-Dt_4. <BR/><BR/>It’s a great way for everyone to participate in the summit. <BR/><BR/>Jim Rettew<BR/>http://ozideas.wetpaint.comRat2http://www.blogger.com/profile/04116277743904401099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-69192516184131271212008-03-28T20:14:00.000+10:002008-03-28T20:14:00.000+10:00Syd is correct.

However, I don't like Jim Turnour, so this one citizen here won't be there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
