As I was saying, this road map will outline the vision for the digital economy and help guide both government and industry efforts to realise the full potential of the digital economy. This road map will outline how the government will play its role in growing the digital economy in Australia by facilitating access to infrastructure and skills, enabling a safe and secure online environment, removing barriers to economic, social and cultural participation in the digital economy and adopting policies that promote Australian collaboration and innovation online. In order to establish a baseline for this work, I have commissioned research into international benchmarking of the Australian digital economy on a sector by sector basis.
