All Things Spatial has a link to a map outlining the results of the recent NSW State Government elections. They also question why there was only one such map produced by the media.
 
Spatial Sustain has a piece on the Indian Prime Minister’s recent comments regarding the importance of remote sensing and monitoring in sustainable development.
