Felipe,

Whilst I appreciate that people do not want war (=E2=80=A6 who does), =
I'm getting more and more frustrated with people who continuously mock =
attempts by our government in their attempt to publicly address these =
issues.=20

It=E2=80=99s a common case of what ever they [the government] do, they =
will be considered to be doing a wrong thing (ie: stuffed if you are, =
stuffed if you're not).=20

People need to realise that no matter what side of government is in =
power, something in the form of what we have been sent in the mail would =
be sent to us. I'd guarantee that if Labor were in power, we'd get =
something similar.

If you don=E2=80=99t believe its contents are worthwhile or informative, =
take it at least that those in power are attempting to provide guidance =
and information to those of our community who may not be as versed or =
informed on such matters.

To these types of responses below, I ask 'what would YOU propose in =
place of a mail out' ?

Regards

Adam
