The basic reasoning needed, plus really good example scenarios, has
been quite well presented in this document produced by a South African
Government think-tank:

The title:
"Open Software & Open Standards in
        South Africa
A Critical Issue for Addressing 
    the Digital Divide"

Of course, Australia is on the other side of the digital divide from
South Africa, but pretty much all the arguments still apply here.
