The Treasurer has agreed this is an issue

Today I spoke with Lachlan Molesworth again, financial adviser in the Treasury. I was delighted to hear from him and he informed me of the following progress; - following my last conversation the issue was written up for the Treasurer to review - the Treasurer has reviewed it and agrees that it is an issue and that it should be investigated - it is now in the pipeline to be allocated to a specialist team, likely after the budget as this is keeping them all busy right now - the team will do a consultation, looking at any and all existing legislation, or lack of, then provide advice back to the Treasurer on his options. This may not seem like much but my heart leapt a little just to hear it has been recognised as an issue and will be in the pipeline! It IS a real problem that needs to be addressed somehow. There are lots of issues in the pipeline but Lachlan tells me this one is marked as a "medium- to immediate-term" issue and so it's not at the bottom of the pile. I am happy with this progress and thank you all for your support thus far. Let's not stop now, keep sharing and let's see if we can hit 25 or even 30 thousand signatures! All my best Kate
