Jim Rettrew is trying to give all Australians a way to participate in the Australia 2020 Summit:

For the 20 million people not invited to the 2020 Summit, the online community created a wiki so people across Australia could post, discuss, and vote on the best ideas for the country.   It?s like a virtual 2020 Summit for the whole country.  It?s totally a grassroots effort.  It?s free, can be anonymous, and as I mentioned, isn?t being sponsored by any political party, corporation, union, or special interests.  It?s just people who want to encourage an online national brainstorming session.

The site is at http://ozideas.wetpaint.com/?t=anon.  There are pages for over 20 different issues and even an online petition to get the best ideas heard at the actual Summit.

So far, we?ve had over 180 ideas submitted, 2000 unique visitors and 15,000 pages views.

The more people know about it, the more ideas are submitted, and the better the discussion.

He has also put together (with the help of this JibJab) this video to promote the site:
