I just sent these people the standard letter.
Hi there,
I'm trying to organise some support for Disability Support Pensioners who wish to spend time outside of Australia.
To me, and others in my situation it seems to be the victimisation of a very small group of Australians.
Why should Pensioners have to account for how they spend the benefit they are entitled to?
I'd be pleased to hear the thoughts of your organisation on this subject.
I enclose a link to a recent news item on this topic.

Please note the more than 100 comments on this, most of them supportive to pensioners.
I enclose a link to a message board I've formed that may be of interest to any of your members effected by the changes,
