NSW Sphere: Premier's Speech and your feedback

We are currently getting the analytics, transcripts, video and wiki together from last Friday's NSW Public Sphere event. In the meantime here is the transcript of the Premier's speech. Thanks again to all who made the day such a success.

The Premier has asked me to work with the Department of Services, Technology and Adminstration to organise a further event to build on the outcomes from NSW Public Sphere. So what do you want - what should we cover? How can NSW build on the good work already happening? What should another event look like - who should be involved - what should the back channel look like? I need your input asap.

Two years on – does my website work for you?

In May 2007 I launched this website. Pennysharpe.com "aims to improve access, accountability and input into the little corner of democracy that is NSW".  In the first month online I had 215 unique visitors, 383 visits and 911 page views. This has steadily grown to  to 890 unique visitors, 1044 visits and 1651 page views per month.

The website is built around my enewsletter Red Leather. Red Leather has had 57 editions and is sent to over 2000 people every fortnight. It reaches many more.
