Wrote some letters

[bigdan]

I believe in the power of letters.
My hand writing is like chicken scratchings & I have no printer so I sent
some E-mails.
My local member Warren Entsch replied to me suggesting I write to Senator Mclucas myself & that he would also forward my letter to her.
He then followed up to see what had happened.

Sen Mclucas replied with a link to portability under the new rules, failing to understand/care that it doesn't cover existing DSPers.

I got a nice reply from Senator Siewert (greens), and most of the 6 or so
letters I sent out. I got a reply.

Most of them said they regularly receive complaints about C/L & Sen Siewert said the greens were committed to improving lives of DSPers and understood about the portability problems.
I replied to Sen Siewert to let her know of my personal circumstances.

I would post them all here but I'm not a high tech kinda guy.

Anyway I think its worthwhile, you can look up the Parliament register
group all the E-mail addresses BCC and write just one letter send simply write Dear Senator.

Good on you mate....

I appreciate that you are technologically challenged.

But, if you can work out how to bcc every member of parliament do you think you can possibly work out how to post a copy of what you actually sent.

Perhaps you could bcc all the registered names on this board.

Failing that, just Forward a copy to Banjo.... ;D

It wasn't one of my best letters. I did it in a rush after a reply from Warren Entsch.
I wrote to Senators Mclucas, Waters, Boswell, Brandis, Hogg, Joyce & Mason. complaining about C/L & not being able to stay where I want, Discriminating against the disabled, mentioning that although I have no future work capacity I cant live where I want & receive DSP.
As I look through the replies there are only 2 Hogg & Mclucas, Entsch wrote me twice & Siewert twice also 1st time secretary didn't attach a letter personally signed.
I think my focus will be on discrimination, how the new DSP doesn't cover existing DSPers & even swapping to the new DSP wont guarantee U/P but you just risk your DSP.
But I got a nice reply from Senator Siewert (greens), the 1st letter I actually wrote was to someone who was mentioned on this forum a WA politician mentioning about C/L waiting times etc, I think they must have been working together. I think the greens r the go, my next round of letters I will target just greens & independents, I will put some thought into it & definitely post what I wrote & replies here.

Cheers Dan

I just received another E-mail from Warren Entsches Secretary in it she mentions that you cannot get
portability if is decided that you are capable of 2hrs work a week, Ive seen it mentioned in these forums before but I never read it from a Government source !

If someone can explain how I can move an E-mail to here, I will post it, or if Banjo can message me an E-mail link/address I will forward him a copy.
