Recently, I sent a letter to my local MP, and the opposition candidate. It called for a more compassionate & sensible policy, in relation to asylum seekers (see blog posts, Sunday July 21, 2013)
I have not yet received a reply from my MP. However, a couple of days ago, I received a response to my letter from the opposition candidate.
As you can see, it is a rather disappointing response.
As luck would have it, this week I also received another letter in the mail from Mr Sukkar:
All going well, I look forward to meeting Mr Sukkar this weekend, and asking him about his views on asylum seeker policy in person.
Post script:
Sadly, I was not well enough to be able to meet with Mr Sukkar.
While I have the feeling I may have been wasting my breath, if I did try to talk with him, the hope is that others overhearing may have been prompted to think more about this issue. And who knows, maybe the letter I sent was enough to plant a seed. I hope that others have also sent letters and called his office.
Have you contacted your local MP or opposition candidate?
