Fair comment, my experience however is that you only get one chance to grab attention of the Minister. That means a letter that's easy to read and not distracting and which raises a couple of points that make him stop and think. Ultimately it's him the Greens need across the line if they want this to go. If he won't buy it and if he thinks he will feel pressure then it won't happen. That's why this letter needed to give him the headlines about why he should be concerned.

The letter won't get his attention like it needs to.

As such AOPA are trying to find out what the issues are and I'm sure they will then bring out facts to oppose it that are directly related to the issues the Greens raise.
