If you were to stack every paper document held in the storage facilities of
Australia's Federal Circuit Court and Family Court they'd stand about 24
kilometres high. That's 77 times the height of Sydney Tower and 80 times
the height of Melbourne's Eureka Tower.

Deputy Chief Justice John Faulks said the cost of storing such documents is
about $1 million a year, which is why he and his chief information officer,
Phil Hocking, last month committed to moving to a fully electronic filing
system to replace paper-based storage "as soon as practicable".

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
