	Anyone who cares to join the Australian Labor Party will get much closer 
access to (and influence over - especially at pre-selection time) politicians 
than anyone outside.  I know because I have and have and would welcome more.  
And yes - open source systems for governments is a line that has been pressed 
within the party for some years now - will anyone else come in and help press 
still more?   ;-)=
