(Media-Newswire.com) - Victorians will have better access to Government information than ever before with the launch of the Premier’s new website today.
Premier John Brumby said the new website had been redesigned and updated after originally being launched five years ago, and now offered the site’s visitors new ways to interact with the government.
“The rapid increase in internet use means Victorians now expect to find up to date information, communicate and engage on the issues that are important to them online,” Mr Brumby said.
As well as giving visitors access to speeches, media releases and interview transcripts, the site will also enable Victorians to get a whole new view of Government with new video and audio content.
“The new video section will enable Victorians to see members of the government make major speeches and announcements,” Mr Brumby said.
“People should be able to see the Government making announcements even if they can’t be in the room when the announcement is made.
“It will also enable reports from our regular Community Cabinets to be done in a whole new way.
“The Building Victoria section allows Victorians to see what is happening in their part of the state including information on new schools, and police stations being built, environmental projects, job creation and investments in regional Victoria.”
Most importantly the site will enable Victorians to more easily have their say on matters before the government.
“By using the Your Voice section of the site Victorians will be able to share their views on the government’s Statement of Legislative Intent, provide suggestions on what they would like to see done in their part of Victoria and get in contact directly with ministers,” Premier Brumby said.
“This new website is part of our open and transparent government which provides more information on our work than ever before.”
