Digital Indonesia

Greetings from the Australian National University in Canberra, where the Vice Chancellor opened the "Digital Indonesia" conference (being live streamed). The first presentation by Eve Warburton (ANU) is giving a detailed forensic analysis of corruption and incompetence of Indonesia's politicians. It will be interesting to see how the Indonesian delegates react to this.
