When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always.
- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

OpenSociety Towards open government

The State Opposition's proposal to enlarge the responsibilities of the NSW Ombudsman and create a regulator-general "responsible for opening up the processes of government, improving accountability and lifting standards in government" deserves full marks for the worthy inspiration behind it. There is undoubtedly too much secrecy and too little openness and accountability in government.
