Blockchain Standardisation
So blockchain technology is still very new and so people are still trying to understand what it is and how it relates.
I think creating standards is very important to create some confidence and predictability.
Especially as a emerging tech heaps of people use the same terminology and same understanding of it and standards is the best place to do that.
If we're going to build resilience reliability and reputation for this product lets standardise it.
There's many many useful cases.
Financial services, agriculture and supply chain, energy, media, search, health care there's a heap of sectors it might apply to.

Why do Australian Standards matter?
Standards matter to me because I believe they are the common ground by which we communicate.
Quite critical to all levels of the community.
The common reference point.
I absolutelty think that standards matter to Australians, they matter to everyone, really.
There's beneficiaries all round.
As businesses, as individuals, as a society and as a country.
In our mobile phone, there are so many standards, you wouldn't even be able to enumerate them.
Standards are exciting.
They are the place that we can bring a lot of different agendas together, agree, and move forward with how do we actually implement what is required of us.
Standards are important.
They're not just pieces of paper we publish, but they are actually the result of a consensus.
And standards are what gives people confidence and trust.
The fact that you put Australian Standard on a document, I think Australians know this has got some rigour behind it.
