The Canberra contact is Ms Jan Colegrave 02/62668255 The letter also states that there will be a 'whole-of-Government = position on this matter' determined at the next meeting of the 'Commonwealth = Protective Security Policy Committee'. The letter is dated 21 November 2002 and was forwarded through the Commonwealth Ombudsman. This letter is a result of a complaint from = Colin Dawson (Pres. of the STC) to the Commonwealth Ombuds man. ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
