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.[4]
Open Forum solicits articles and opinions from Australian policy-makers, business leaders, academics and the general public as well as republishing material from other sources and highlighting areas of Australian research.
It currently provides a platform for focused dialogue on social, political, economic, environmental and cultural issues and challenges.
