Parliamentary Friends of Blockchain
Senator Jane Hume
Hon. Matt Keogh MP
The Australian Parliamentary Friends of Blockchain is a bi-partisan group of members of the Commonwealth Parliament who are interested in the potential for blockchain technology to transform most areas of the Australian economy and society.
The Co-Convenors of the Australian Parliamentary Friends of Blockchain are Senator Jane Hume (Liberal, Victoria) and the Hon. Matt Keogh MP (Labor, WA).
The members of the Parliamentary Friends of Blockchain receive briefings from Blockchain Australia and other members of the Australian blockchain community on key topics of interest and host an annual industry reception at Parliament House in Canberra.
“The Parliamentary Friends of Blockchain, co-convened by Matt Keogh MP and myself, works across party lines to raise awareness of the opportunities, innovations and efficiencies that blockchain technology presents. Our forums are an exchange of ideas across sectors and an opportunity for blockchain innovators and users to speak to industry and public sector users and parliamentarians directly. Through explanations and exploration of the applications of blockchain technology, the Parliamentary Friendship Group hope to generate new opportunities for industry participants and new efficiencies for government”, says Senator Jane Hume.
“It is essential as lawmakers that we are across emergent technologies to regulate and to take advantage of them to improve society. The Parliamentary Friends of Blockchain provides a key way for us to keep abreast of developments in and promote engagement with the blockchain community”, says the Hon. Matt Keogh MP.
