Excellent cents - but they do no good here. If your opinions are actually
going to count, they need to be snail mailed to the papers, faxed to the
pollies, and explained face-to-face and on the phone. Aldis Ozols
has a marvellous web page on how to do this in Australia - read

http://godzilla.zeta.org.au/%7Ealdis/lobby.html

But remember that pollies and journos don't read USENET - so long
posts here are pretty pointless.

>PS. where can one view the draft bill?

That is a very good question. So far as I know, no one outside of the NSW
government and their cronies has seen the thing. The details mentioned in
Jeff Shaw (the NSW Attorney General)'s press release are available via
the EFA march pages at

http://www.efa.org.au/Campaigns/NSWproposal.html

with a little more detail at
