Even longer answer: I went to a lecture by Carol Boughton, a (the?) director
of Software Improvements on Monday and she was asked this question. The
answer she gave is that the software will be put up on their CVS site when the
ACT Electoral Commissioner (Phil Green) authorises it, and most likely not 
before the end of the election counting process which will continue for the 
next week or so.
