Abstract
The seed was sown in 2004 when Kat Szuminska and Matthew Landauer decided to set up a website to help Australians learn more about what their elected representatives were up to. Since then, this scrappy little charity has gone on to create and run a number of services that facilitate civic engagement. Come along to learn more about us, and how you too can help Australia be a bit more open.
