The irony is that a world leading electronic voting system was developed by Andrew Tridgell, who lives in the ACT, which is a stone's throw from NSW (in any direction) [2]. The NSW Electoral Commission was quite free to download the GPL source code and use it as a base. I gather the GPL'd system has since been replaced with a proprietary one by the commercial partner, with the proprietary system being released under the same name [3].
