I think the problem with the NDL (and lots of other policies/projects we see proposed to and by the gov) is it can only be launched with something sufficiently ambitious.
There’s a real lack of appetite for throwing out small, less than perfect but better than what we have right now bits and bobs. Stuff like a website that gives accessible guidance on how to figure out datasets you might need, how to find out if they exist already, how to request datasets.
Things like this chip away at the barriers that big ambitious projects like the NDL - whatever it is - are trying to tear down, but the thing is you might as well chip away for awhile to making tearing down easier.
