An extract:
======
"The Australian Information Commissioner, John McMillan, has launched the
government's eight Principles on open public sector information.

According to McMillan, the principles < which have been developed by the
Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) through a process
of public consultation < recognise government information as a national
resource that should be published for community access and use.

"These Principles set out the central values of open public sector
information ­ that it be freely available, easily discoverable,
understandable, machine-readable and reusable," McMillan said in a
statement."
