Firstly, as I said, in the other posts I have no entries for this competition. --> implies my view is relatively balanced without bias. 2. Secondly, I believe there are some cheating (soft cheat) on this. Why I said this --> A large amount of votes within minutes up for this one while a large amount of votes down for the others one. --> The good thing for this one is that I can post my views :) 3. Thirdly, this is a good mashup topic but definitely far from a good marshup or even it is a poor mashup compared with . okSchool Explorer (Victoria) . GCI PhotoHUB . Suburban Trends . Fridgemate . NSW Crime Explorer 4. I hope the judges are fair . to view IP addresses of those votes to identify they are genuine instead of a small number of self voting. (I mean those who cheat should not even be regarded as people's choice) . to have a expert panels view of the mashups as there are not many entries one by one mashup review is possible. based on -- ideas -- creativity -- design quality -- technical efforts -- etc... 1.

I would have liked to see a more holistic dataset, however, I guess the concept needs to be proven before more can be expected out of the respective state governments.

It would be great if this competition can encourage states to work together to provide national emergency reporting tools for the public. How many fires have we seen recently that occur on state borders? Ensuring people have the same information on fires and services in NSW and Vic would be very useful for Albury residents, for example. Great work and thank you for the comments on iNation!
