Dear Minister,

What do you have to say about Dick Smiths comments on radio this week regarding Air Traffic Controllers being 'basically criminals'?

Does this man still enjoy your full support?

Do you agree with the comments made in this transcript?:

Do you agree with the facts and observations of his press release?:

Have you seen what AirServices Australia CEO thinks of Smiths comments?:

Have you seen the anger from a cross section of the aviation industry?:

Do you stand by the National Airspace System?
If so will you let it stand up to the scrutiny of an independent inquiry as proposed by The Australian Democrats?:

Will you respond or even acknowledge the petition sent to you on 1 February 2004?:

Do you acknowledge that you have been now given fair notice of industry concerns?

Yours Sincerely,

If you want to email or write your local member / senator, or ALL of them for that matter I have also made a spreadsheet in Excel Format that you can download from my server:

All Federal Senators (sortable) (Excel .xls) 37kb

All Federal MHR's (sortable) (Excel .xls) 37kb

If you want an email address list to simply drop straight into your email program try these (after opening hit CTRL+A to select all names, then CTRL+C to copy. In your 'To:' box of your email programme place your cursor and select CTRL+V to paste all the addressees in)

All Federal Senators Email List (Text .txt) 2kb

All Federal MHR's Email List (Text .txt) 4kb

I am also writing as much as I can to the Newspaper Editors to let them know how offended I am at the stand Smith has taken. If you feel the same way here is a small list I have got so far - add some more if you can:

The following are the individual email addresses - for a complete cut and paste list that you can put into your email program address block click here Newspaper Email List (.txt file) 1kb
