Nairn said Australia ranked among the top nations for the delivery and implementation of services and programs via the internet.

Backing up the claim, he said some 80 percent of all tax returns were now submitted online and the number of people using government services online was also on the rise.

From the 2004/05 year to 2005/06 this figure had grown from 39 percent to just under half of Australia's population accessing services such as vehicle registration, family and child benefits, he said.

Additionally, 19 percent of Australians – up from 14 over the same period – now used the internet for all their dealings with the Federal Government.
