Despite a big push for innovation by both major parties in this election campaign, the information and communications technology sector has signalled both the Coalition and Labor are still coming up short.

Representing the sector is the Australian Computer Society, which is calling for new policies to address digital disruption and an economy in transition. It says urgent changes need to be made to the way digital skills and digital literacy are taught in Australia's schools and universities. It also wants some changes to the NBN and cyber-security.
