Open Forum (Australia)

Open Forum is an Australian public policy blogging website hosted by Global Access Partners.

The site was launched after a 2007 survey [1] highlighted the need for an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit Australian forum to discuss public policy issues.

Its contributors include Federal Parliamentarians such as Tony Abbott[2] and Tanya Plibersek.

[3] The site has hosted consultations for State governments and agencies, including a major project on Strata Laws reform and a survey for the Queensland Office for Regulatory Efficiency.

It currently provides a platform for focused dialogue on social, political, economic, environmental and cultural issues and challenges.
