[AusNOG] Domestic Peering WAS: Vocus peering traffic missingfrom PIPE-IX?

[Tom Taylor]

I'm going to commit multiple stupidities here -- responding to this 
without reading the rest of the thread and being an outsider discussing 
Australian politics (I'm Canadian). However, in Canada at least I would 
approach this from a different angle. Could you find the right people 
either in the civil service3 or in the Prime Minister's Office (if there 
is such a thing) to have a chat with first?

Forgive me if I'm being really offensive.
