Australia should develop Open Government Partnership : Comments
By Kellie Tranter, published 7/4/2015The Abbott government seems to have an aversion to informed criticism and self reflection. It seems to be run as a separate and autonomous corporation bearing the hallmarks of many religious institutions with its high priests, dogma and secrecy.

I did find the references to Obamas apparent endorsement of open government interesting in light of his administrations determined fight against open government in many areas.
I don't think a practical opposition to genuine open government is the domain of either side of politics here of in any other country I'm aware of. They all seem to protect secrets not because they are genuine national secrets but because the selective control of information can help them individually and help their side politically.
