This application has a focus on local government waste management issues and the desire of the
local rate payers to work with the local council to accelerate the effective management of waste
when the local council have been very reluctant to assist (ref Jo HOBSON letter to Council 02 May
2005
However as mentioned before the issue of ethics within the Australian Computer industry has a
long history of Public concerns starting with the Australian EDI Standards Committee IS/11 which
was hosted by Standards Australia from 1987
In 1987-1989 Standards Australia allowed the representative from Arthur Andersen on the IS/11
Committee to nominate the ANSI Standard X-12 for 2 years as an interim standard even though
EDIFACT had been published as the ISO-9735 Standard in Apr 1987
On 20 Jul 1993 Arthur Andersen Consulting hosted a New World Order luncheon called "Inventing
the Australian Model of Government" with a presentation by Gary STURGESS who was at that
time the NSW Premier Nick GREINER's Chief of Staff called "Virtual Government Presentation"
On 22 Jul 1997 Stewart FIST wrote an article about Standards Australia "Standards compromised
by self Interest, lack of scrutiny"
On 05 Feb 2002 Mark BEZINNA Director of Standards Australia chaired an ebXML working group
established to assist Small and Medium-size Enterprises [SMEs] implement ebXML Applications
In 2003 Standards Australia established Standards Australia International [SAI] Global to sell
Australian Standards around the world
In Dec 2003 SAI Global was floated on the Stock Exchange
In 2016 SAI Global was purchased by Baring Private Equity
On 12 Dec 2003 Standards Australia received a Federal Government Grant to lead a consortium
to develop an Invoicing system called "BizDex" for the Australian Wheat Board for grain exports
According to a presentation at the UBL Plenary in Hong Kong on 10 May 2004 that Consortium
included IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Sun Microsystems EAN and two small Australian companies "Red
Wahoo" with Managing Director Steve CAPELL and "TEDIS" with Managing Director Tim McGRATH
In Dec 2004 Red Wahoo claimed it was the author of the Australian Government Name and
Address XML Standard AS4590 , Chair of UN/CEFACT working group and a Chair of the OASIS
ebXML Business Process
In 2005 it was discovered that the BizDex system allowed the AMB to pay over $ 300 Million in
kickbacks to Iraqi officials
In 2005 Red Wahoo published that is have been working with the Australian Government on many
Contracts including GovDex and other Projects including a Standard Business Reporting [SBR]
System
In 2005 the National eHealth Transition Authority [NEHTA] was established to assist the
Australian Health industry transition to eHealth
In 2006 NEHTA issued a Management Framework "The Nature and Importance of Standards" and
then published 9 different Candidate Standards for eHealth applications !
One of which was EDIFACT and the other 8 were owned by overseas organisations each of which
has a different Name and Address format !!
In 2006 at the OASIS Conference in Sydney attendees at that conference confirmed by a Group
Systems Support [GSS] process that the complex address format of both AS4590 and EDIFACT
ISO-9735 should be used at all times for eBusiness applications
In Jun 2008 Steve CAPELL as the Chair of the UN/CEFACT Working Group gave a presentation
to SEMIC Brussels about "E-Government Interoperability Framework - an Australian Perspective"
On 31 Oct 2009 Standards Australia announced it had a new business model whereby some
standard would be allocated to individuals/companies who would then receive Royalties
On 09 Jun 2016 the AFR prints article "Fund Manager punts on SAI Global as stoush worsens"
On 01 Jul 2016 SAI Global purchases the NSW Government Land and Property Information [LPI]
which holds all details of Land ownership
In Jul 2018 IBM signed 5-year Whole of Government [WoG] Au $ 1 Billion contract for
Blockchain , Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing
It now appears that virtually every organisation involved with "Blockchain" is a member of
Hyperledger - is this a cartel ?
On 09 Sep 2018 the Australian Financial Review [AFR] announced that Standards Australia is
chairing the ISO Standards group developing standards for "Blockchain" and distributed ledgers
