March 11 has been and gone? Does that not mean there's nothing we can do, and it's in the hands of NZOSS? We probably should have done something about this. Hindsight, etc. What we can do is review and finalise http://www.wlug.org.nz/ParliamentaryQuestions into a coherent, well thought out list of questions. When they are "done", I'll email them to Rodney Hide, who has offered to ask them for us. This has lapsed a bit, and we should probably chase it. How about the end of this month as a deadline? At that point, I'll email him with what we have. Regards, Greig McGill
