I also wrote to Sue Pennicuik, and because ummm...I'm politically active
...I had dinner with her and a few other sympathetic MPs. Our concerns were not falling on deaf ears, but of course the conservative factions have a strong voice and there was little that the Greens could do. I did however get a response from Sue, so I'm surprised you didn't get one - she's usually very good at responding to letters, so perhaps it was just a clerical issue.
Unfortunately I think the police checks really only got through because all the media hoop-la was focussed on the "IVF for lesbians!" stuff.
Mr Finn would make me laugh, if he didn't make me want to vomit.
