Officially opening the 2006 Government Technology Evolution Conference in Canberra on Tuesday, the Special Minister of State, the Hon Gary Nairn MP has reinforced the Australian Government’s commitment to improving opportunities for ICT skilled professionals in the Australian Public Service. “The Australian Government has established an inter-departmental ICT Professional and Skills Development taskforce, with representation from thirteen agencies and an observer from state government, to develop practical solutions to the challenges associated with obtaining and retaining the right skills in the right locations”, Mr Nairn said.
NEW HOWARD GOVERNMENT IP RULES A SLAP IN THE FACE FOR AUSTRALIAN IT INDUSTRY
Victorian Minister for Information and Communication Technology Marsha Thomson today branded the proposed Howard Government changes to intellectual property (IP) provisions in IT contracts a slap in the face to the Australian industry that would increase the cost of doing business with Government. "The changes proposed by Special Minister of State Gary Nairn are an absolute joke and just show how out of touch the Howard Government is with small business and the IT sector in Australia," Minister Thomson said.
