Bad timing

As reported on Australian eDemocracy Special Minister of State Gary Nairn is calling for submissions on the idea of a Government Blog for Australia.

Full marks to the government for coming up with the idea, but their timing couldn't be worse. Submissions have to be in by 1 December, one of the possible dates for the next Federal election. How many are going to submit, given the widespread expectation that on or about that date the current federal government will cease to be current?
