Online Availability of Government Entities' Documents Tabled in the Australian Parliament

The objectives of the audit were to:

  • determine the extent to which government entities complied with the requirement to publish and maintain documents online that were presented to the Parliament;
  • evaluate selected government entities' policies and practices regarding online publishing; and
  • assess AGIMO's policy and guidance in support of online publishing.

To address this objective the audit was conducted in three parts. Firstly, we reviewed a sample of papers tabled between 2000 and 2008 in order to assess their availability online. Next, we examined the online publishing practices of five government entities. These were the: Australian Federal Police (AFP); Department of the House of Representatives (DHR); Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government (Infrastructure); Department of the Treasury (Treasury); and National Archives of Australia (NAA). Finally, we reviewed AGIMO's role in supporting government entities in their online publishing practices.
