The government of Victoria, Australia recently created a pilot project to allow visualization and mapping of data from the state government.  This application requires Silverlight.

From the VisualPlace blog:

"The purpose of VisualPlace is to show the value of an interactive GIS-enabled service for the visualisation of location based government information."

ARC Resarch Network Spatially Integrated Social Science (ARCRNSISS) is a coalition of academic and other institutions promoting spatial integration in the social sciences.  It is the Australian counterpart to CSISS in the United States.
