The Gov
2.0 Taskforce this afternoon announced the
launch of data.australia.gov.au featuring
59 datasets from Australian Federal, State and Territory governments released
under licenses that permit reuse.
Alongside the launch the Taskforce announced on their blog the launch of a Mash-up competition challenging Australian
developers to use one of more of the datasets to create a useful online
application.
A good idea to promote reuse
of Public Sector Information. Why not at an European level.

The competition is offering more than $20,000 in prizes across a range of
categories including Excellence in mash-up, peoples' choice and Best Student
entry.
The competition starts at 10am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) on 7 October and closes at 4pm AEST on 6 November.
Solo entrants must be Australian resident or citizen and teams must include at least one Australian.
The Government
2.0 Taskforce invites
you to MashupAustralia.
Help us
show why open access to Australian government
information is good for our economy and society.
To help
get you started, we have released some datasets under a Creative Commons license (or a similar type of open license)
and in a range of mashable formats.
