I think that discussing the political dimensions of issues that are raised 
on this list is valid. Computerbank is an organisation which deals in areas 
that are inherently political in an Australian context, such as 
disadvantage, access and equity. These are political constructs and need 
to be treated as such. There do not appear to be any other lists that are 
part of the computerbank movement that have that specific purpose, why not 
this one?
