At around 4:45pm on Thursday 19th November I sent a second round of letters to the ACT Legislative Assembly Members for Molonglo. These letters were sent in an attempt rally more local support behind the issue prior to me going federal with the campaign.
My strategy at this point is to get all the local members passing the issue up to federal members at the same time as I write to the federal members. It is an attempt to present the issue as it really is…a community wide issue.
As Jon Stanhope’s office and Katy Gallagher did respond and forward Gungahlin’s concerns already, I did not send them a letter. They have done something and should get some credit for action where others have done very little.
I have attached all the letters below, they are all very similar except for the personalised third paragraph.
I have to admit the language in these letters is far more direct and challenging than the first letter sent in September. I will call members out who continue to show no interest in local matters. As I explain in my letter this is about the constituents and local business and there are a hell of a lot of us affected.
Senators Stephen Conroy, Garry Humphries, Kate Lundy are next as well as Bob McMullan.

Russell,
I live in Harrison (Hill side) and I am very close to Crace exchange. I am paying thro the nose to Telstra for ADSL. Very slow at peak time and telstra techo says ‘Congestion’. Very frustrating.
Thanks for taking this up on behalf of the Gungahlin residents.
Cheers..
