[Aust-NZ] PSI Submission 3rd Draft [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Ian.Batley at ga.gov.au]

While I generally agree with the principle of free data, has anyone done a
comparison of spatial data costs (to the end user) across the various
jurisdictions? It also might be useful to have a comparison of what data is
free, cost of transfer or cost recovery.

You should probably also mention the potential impact of free data on PSMA
which is partly owned by VIC.

It might be worth mentioning initiatives like Information Queensland (IQ) and
the National Data Network (NDN) as examples of enabling easier access to data
including spatial data.
