Mobile Strategy Statement 
Mobile| Distributed | Flexible | Virtual
Author | Joshua Dallas (2011)

In the current political climate there seems to be a disposition between the average Australian household or individual, and their equal involvement in the “democratic” process.

The aim of this project is to draw the focus back onto the local community to embrace the engrained culture that makes the idea of the "Iconic Australian" so appealing.  This gives the government more of a local front, and identity, to which the greater community can relate with, and embrace.  As they see political, social and humanitarian action at work.

In order to have an effective mobile strategy, there must be effective and concise distribution channels set in place, to which the device is to evolve within.  These constraints must be guided, yet able to adapt to the ever shaping environment.  As Australia is a wide and vast land, with great variations in landscape and climate.  The ability to transport goods and services is one which has often caused concern for various parties.  Thus the implications of transporting a political vehicle or entity to any location in Australia is one that is not only of large scale geographically, but also physically.

The effective utilization of existing infrastructure networks shall be key in creating an effective means of distribution.  Whether that be sea, air, land, or even some other means, all these issues that will need addressing in order to cover the issue of mobility concisely.  The Combination of these ideas, coupled with that of a shift into the future will have the architectural vehicle at the forefront of technology in terms of utilization, optimisation, planning and strategy.  This architecture can be flexible, and mobile, while still effectively engaging with its surrounding environment and peoples.

Moving away from the traditional notion of Australian politics being based solely out of Canberra or state capitals for major decision making.  Bringing the focus back into that of the community, giving the local identity and spirit the control of many of the aspects of its governance is a factor which is key in the operation and integration of this nomadic and mobile concept. 

In summary our goal could be put as such.

"To Create a nomadic parliamentary services model, working in conjunction with existing local government and nationwide infrastructure, to create a seamlessly integrated and effective means to bring the government and political process closer to home."
