Writing as opposed to emailing. Do you think politicians and their lackeys take more notice of a snail mail letter than an email? If they reply by normal mail will it have more effect than a printed-off email?
Certainly something to consider, but it also means that a similar (postal) reply may not be read for several months if the letter goes to the senders Aussie address and he's exercising his constitutional rights to travel around outside of Australia.
What do you think of setting up a mail centre in Australia, people overseas email the letter to the centre, it's printed off and posted and the reply comes back to the centre where it's scanned and emailed to the sender?
Would any of our members currently based full time in Australia be interested in doing that?
