Senator Kate Lundy<http://www.katelundy.com.au/> is hosting the 2nd of her Public Sphere forums: Government 2.0: Policy and Practice<http://www.katelundy.com.au/2009/05/29/public-sphere-2-open-government-policy-and-practice/>, a forum on "how creating an even more participatory form of government in Australia will improve the effectiveness of public administration, enable communities to better help themselves, promote renewed engagement in the democratic process and enhance our capacity to respond to emerging complex social, geopolitical and environmental challenges". Speakers include CCau's own Brian Fitzgerald. - http://creativecommons.org.au/node/248
