Excellence in e-Government Award finalists announced

The Department of Finance has announced the ten finalists for the 2009 Excellence on e-Government Award (e-Award).

Having followed this award for three years, I believe that this is the best set of finalists I've seen to-date and represents the gradual maturing of Australian Government online initiatives.

I've linked to more information on each of the finalists below to make it easier to locate and review the various initiatives.
