Online Petitions

The SMH reports:

Politicians are tweeting, blogging and poking, but most remain out of reach when it comes to receiving petitions over the internet.

But all that will change if the Australian accepts a recommendation from a parliamentary committee that the House of Representatives should treat electronic petitions the same way it treats those delivered on paper.

What a good idea. No 10 Downing Street allows this, as does the Australian Senate. Would be a good initiative for Parliament to also embrace.
