Hey Scott,

I'm a big fan of your committee work and really appreciate the footage being uploaded to youtube.

You ask some probing and sometimes cheeky questions - but as a Senator are you entitled to see confidential information or get private briefings which can't be published to followers?

Have you ever had any significant questions answered to your satisfaction, but been unable to pass the info on?

Thanks

Hey again Scott, Are there any gag laws which might be preventing or discouraging the media from commenting on the NSA debacle or privacy infringements in general in Australia?

If not, why do you think this issue is getting so little coverage? Thanks

Hey HydroRage I can't answer for Scott but I know that sending material in the mail can get very expensive very fast. The Greens have limited resources and tend to be incredibly frugal with the use of campaign funds.

My local Greens group sent out info about both the Greens Candidate and details of various rural policies to country towns in my electorate - and it was a big expense.

Probably the best way to ensure that the Greens message gets into the community is to lend a hand: https://greens.org.au/civicrm/profile/create?gid=38&reset=1 or strengthen your local branch and have your say by joining the party http://greens.org.au/join
