Accessible Government Publishing

The Disability Royal Commission Final Report is over 7000 pages, all as PDF and Word downloads - formats that are difficult to consume online. Imagine if this document, and all other Government reports, were easily accessible in web format. Word and PDF pre-date the internet. Surely the time has come for Government to embrace new technology in making this information easily accessible. https://royalcommission.revealr.ai/app/
