It has been nearly three weeks since I sent letters off to the current Legislative Assembly members for Molonglo.
Unfortunately I have only received 1 response.
I am drafting a second series of letters to the same members which I will send out next week. For any of the current members you still have a week to respond.
The one response I did get is best described as underwhelming at best. I can not even be sure Katy herself saw the letter. I have attached the response below for you all to read.

Maybe I have been taught a different definition for the term “representitive” but I have hoped that local members would have been more interested in the issues concerning their electorate.
This has inspired me to go a step further – I invite all Canberra residents who have contacted members of the Legislative Assembly, Federal Ministers or senior representivies of Internet service providers to send me a copy of your correspondence. I am going to dedicate a page on the site to all the letters, emails, faxes sent in an attempt to show how widespread the issue is.
If you have support ticket details please send them also.
I encourage everyone to send me information, even if you only raise a ticket 5 minutes before sending me the details.

I have to say, our local representatives are far from inspiring… can’t say I am too surprised they are either ignoring it or handballing it around.
Keep up the good work though! Maybe they’ll eventually move it out of the ‘too hard basket’!
