<p>Hi Sajjad,</p>
<p>I have been following the discussion around this bill, thanks for
campaigning! As Robert said, if there is any we can do as HOT
community other than supporting on social media don´t hesitate to
ask. <br>
</p>
<p>Keep up the good work!</p>
<p>Katja<br>

Ralph - thanks for bringing this here. A few of us have
started a<br>
campaign and collecting responses to the ministry to reduce
the scope<br>
of this bill. You can follow the conversations on<br>

The bill in it's current state is very unlikely to get

Cheers,<br>
