Abstract
The Australia Card policy proposal of 1985‐87 is used as a focus to review the growing emergence of information technology as a significant influence on policy formation and implementation in the commonwealth public service. The history of science and technology leading to information technology in the public service is discussed, particularly recent pressures to use information technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector management.
