Greetings All Just a note to advise that the position of Mr. Abbott has in fact been updated to show his support of release of Post 1901 Census Records. The file has been sent that when loaded will show him with a gold tick of support. I do not have direct access to the server on which the website resides and must depend on someone else to load the updated files. It is hoped that this will occur shortly. So that we do not frustrate the assistants to the various MPs please forward any responses from them so that the Scoreboard can be updated as soon as possible. It would be nice if some of the MPs who have not responded to questions over the past year and more, or their assistants would get back to us. To Mr. Abbott's assistants, the MP Scoreboard may be viewed at the URL listed below my signature. I have every expectation that his gold tick will show up within a day or two. Thank you. Gordon A.
