I think your advice to other campaigners is very sound and the positive approach it is the best way to go with other MPs. I found our meeting extremely useful and seriously appreciated your time in discussing what can be a complex issue with me so I'm well informed in the debates within the party room. Best Wishes Sharon Hi Geoff

And I'm lazy apparently - what an easy link to see. I've turned it into a Google Docs spreadsheet, which everyone can find at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=paG-OowBO9g-C8u-uOPbDHg . It would be awesome if people could call dibs on their local member and call or email them and ask for a meeting. Thanks Matt, that’s awesome. And I’m lazy apparently – what an easy link to see.

It amazes me how little most Australians have to do with their member of Parliament. I wrote my member a letter (Kevin Rudd) about the increase of the First Home Buyer's Grant for existing homes (I don't agree with it), but all I got was a substandard pre-formatted response. A meeting is a much better idea. It’s great to see that you went ahead with this. It amazes me how little most Australians have to do with their member of Parliament.
