Thoughts – It’s hard to find your way around, the javascript on the transcripts of hearings is really annoying, and the whole thing is obviously designed by someone who understands computers better than people.

Some basic usability testing would make some of the problems obvious.

You would think they would clean up the 39 disabled accessibility issues with the site before they asked for feedback!

I think they probably are given http://www.finance.gov.au/publications/wcag-2-implementation/index.html. Maybe they’re looking for a site design to help with this.

“legassembly”? Sounds like an Ikea organ donation racket!

Seriously, were I to be inclined to go to the site for any reason, the current menu probably covers most of the more likely topics. The site just feels/looks dated…much as I am a fan of KISS in web design.

It also currently uses a lot of teeny tiny text for no good reason.

I’m sure they believe it’s already a pressure cooker environment.

They already do. Big link at the top, middle of the home page.

I don’t really want to see the LA in a sauna.

Update daily the visitors book for Government ministers.

Is this we care about what you want or just another example of we care about looking like we care about what you want?

My sense is they’re interested in hearing what you want.

Whether they can deliver that within the budget is another question.
