The government are going to try to use social networking sites to engage with the public.
I hope it works. I hope it isn't another Lt Hauk moment.
Personally, I'd say that this is something that government shouldn't do - and shouldn't be seen to be doing. It's the role of civil society to create a civil conversation that government can eavesdrop upon.

One of the most important tasks the force has is to free govt to engage as opposed to Lt Hauk show them how.
I think it's worth giving them a chance on this one.
Eh? This sounds almost fascistic to me.
It's only fascistic if the eavesdroping is surreptitious, but maybe 'eavesdrop' is the wrong word, though I like it.
I'm saying that civil conversations that ostensibly include the government tend to turn into pressure-group circuses.
A good quality public debate makes for better government - that's all I'm saying.
