In the midst of an election with very little difference between the main contenders, can anyone honestly say that ICT is being given the consideration that it should, in this day and age? I'd argue that you shouldn't listen to the hyperbole on the two "spin-worthy" issues that have been raised, at least until you understand how they really think about our industry.

Many years ago, in the time of the rule of the great Hawke, and the lesser but fairly scary Keating, ICT had a direction. It was called the Panel Period contracts, and you had to be on them to sell to government.

Maybe I'm an still an optimist, but only by talking about the very real issues can we hope to force change. Our governments need to listen, and they need to listen now.

Conflict resolution is a difficult situation for most people, but a lot of geeks really seem to struggle with it. This seems related to the inability to talk to the business and achieve understanding for both parties.

I have been selling IT since 1992. I have sold all sorts of brands, technologies and ideas to my clients.

With the announcements about the budget out now, what is there to celebrate from an end user's perspective? will you have enough budget to buy the power workstation you need to help you develop really cool code for a new website? Will you get enough to upgrade the San or the External backup drive?
