This is why when you’re writing a letter to a Minister about a Government policy you wish to delay or block, it’s good to ask how the policy affects other Ministers in other portfolios. They can’t answer the question without forwarding your letter to the second Minister, so you end up doubling the amount of work they have to do to answer your letter. :-) “Don’t waste your time, waste theirs.” https://www.crikey.com.au/2009/12/16/dont-waste-your-time-waste-theirs-a-guide-to-writing-to-ministers/ <https://www.crikey.com.au/2009/12/16/dont-waste-your-time-waste-theirs-a-guide-to-writing-to-ministers/> Thinking about this in the context of Part 149 :-) - mark
