The incoming Government has signalled, principally via the Labour Party’s ecommerce policy, that it sees Government having a key role to play in New Zealand’s information and technology environment as: a leader, a model user, a promoter of New Zealand’s interests internationally; and an active key enabler.

I am continually surprised at New Zealanders’ willingness to embrace new technology. For example, over 50 percent of our homes now contain a personal computer. This is more than have dishwashers.

The E-government Strategy (‘the strategy’) has been revised for the second time. This has been done to ensure that the e-government programme is driving ahead in the right directions, that agencies know what is expected of them, and that e-government challenges are understood and addressed.

eGovernment has been on the international agenda for several years. The development in Europe and the rest of the world suggests a potential for more efficient and user-centered ways to deliver public services. Thus, awareness by users of these services, their willingness to use them and ease of use are important factors in the development of eGovernment.
