| What's Happening Mr Prime Minister 99 |

An open letter to the Prime Minister of Australia, The Hon Kevin Rudd MP.
5 February 2009
Dear Prime Minister
Re: Australia
Last week I wrote to you asking if you thought you have done a good job since taking over the role from your predecessor. You have not done me the courtesy of replying, which is disappointing.
I also sent you an earlier email (on the 27th January) and I have also written to the Treasurer and the Minister for Health. They too, have not done me the courtesy of a response.
In that time members of the opposition have responded to emails.
I trust the government has not forgotten who it represents.
In April 2008 the Australia 2020 Summit was held. From the website “The Summit brought together some of the best and brightest brains from across the country to tackle the long term challenges confronting Australia’s future”.
Also on the website, under the News Centre tab, are media releases regarding the progress of the Summit. There have been no media releases since the day after the Summit. The final report, released on 31 May 2008 is a 400 page document detailing the effort that went into this Summit. Many Australians would have expected to hear a little more about it since then.
Mr Prime Minister;
1/ What is happening with the information gathered from the “1000 plus leading Australians”?
2/ When may we expect to see some of the “long-term options for the nation across 10 critical areas”? 3/ One of the critical areas was “The Future of the Australian Economy” which we have seen performing rather badly since the beginning of 2008. Is any of the information gathered being put to use?
4/ Has the Summit helped “shape a long term strategy for the nation’s future”?
I am a concerned Australian citizen. There are exactly 99 weeks until the end of 2010 by which time we should have had an election to determine who the Prime Minister of Australia will be for the next three years.
I plan on writing a letter each week. I look forward to seeing your responses. I trust that you will respond to my earlier email and this one before too long.
Regards
