Back in early October 2013 I put in what I thought was a straightforward freedom of information request for the source code of the system used to count votes in Senate elections.

Two years, one Senate resolution, $10,000 in crowd funding and a tribunal hearing later, that request is still not resolved. I'll talk about this process and what it means for openness and open source in government.
