No idea. But really, it's long time that Standards Australia was
hauled before a parliament committee and asked to explain its
actions with regard to technology specifications.  This is simply
a new low; the problem has existed for a long time.

I suppose that all starts by interesting a member of parliament
(writes Glen, displaying his complete ignorance of the political
process).

Any ideas who we could interest?  We really need someone who can
guide us as much as take up the cause.
