Although her eloquence and staunch advocacy of Australia's IT industry appears to be that of a politician trained in the art of rhetoric, Lundy's says she never set out to be a politician.
In this Australian exclusive, ZDNet asked the country's major political parties to outline their IT strategies in the lead-up to the 2001 Federal Election, answering the questions of readers on a myriad of technology-related issues.
While John Howard may have been left camera shy after the first and only televised debate, this time it's the Labor Party's turn, declining to take part in a public forum on IT policies, despite initially agreeing enthusiastically to participate in ZDNet Australia's online IT debate.
The offices of the Liberal party's Richard Alston, the ALP's Carmen Lawrence, the Democrats' Brian Greig, the Green's Kerry Nettle, and One Nation's Pauline Hanson have all agreed to participate in an online forum on IT policies and promises in the run up to the 2001 Federal Election.
For the first time, the opening rounds of the upcoming Australian Federal election are being fought online as well as traditional media forums, as the country's major political parties use their respective Web sites to spruik policies and attack each other's ability to govern the nation.
