(Pia Andrews) Any software systems that use or have to be compliant to legislation or regulation ends up translating rules into code. But what if we had open source legislation as code as an public utility? What if we had an API for Australian legislation/regulation? We could build services to help people know their legal rights (like benefitme.nz built on a community repository of legislation as code at github.com/digitalaotearoa/openfisca-aotearoa), we could build modelling tools to understand the impact on people and communities of proposed changes (like leximpact.an.fr/), we could even test the outputs from government systems to ensure they are legally compliant, so we can be more empowered to audit and appeal the systems and services of government departments! This talk will present work from around the world on open source legislation/regulation as code, and invites you to participate in a building a community repository of legislation as code, here in Australia :)
