QLD Government - Open Data Discussion paper

http://queenslandplan.qld.gov.au/gov-response/assets/Open-Data-Discussion-Paper.pdf

Businesses and the community must have confidence that government will continue to
invest in open data. A business cannot be built on a foundation that may go away if the
public sector does not make a clear and lasting commitment to open data. Failure to build
this confidence can stall the creation of new business opportunities and economic growth

One of the more positive developments under this government has been its commitment to open data.
