According to: 
http://www.finance.gov.au/e-government/strategy-and-governance/docs/wofg_coe_policy.pdf 
AGIMO have effectively
locked all Commonwealth of Australia Government desktops etc.
into the M$ world.

They have selected the non-ISO ECMA-376 OOXML standard (aka.
M$ .docx format) as the Whole-of-Government CoE standard leaving
little room for actual Open document formats (such as ODF)
to be used in the Australian Government.

Boo. Sigh.

Bob Edwards.
