hi Paul,

Quoting Paul Wilkins <paulwilkins369 at gmail.com>:

As one of the people who assisted in drafting the letter, being  
involved in various civil society submissions relating to the letter,  
and having also directly engaged with the staff and departments  
associated with this legislation, I stand by the statements in IA's  
open letter.

Regards,
Peter.
