You say you are working "behind the scenes". Well, let us know what exactly you have been doing.

I have today written to the Health Minister and the Treasurer, as a concerned citizen, and attached clippings from the Daily Liberal and the Dubbo Photo News in relation to this very important matter.
If monies should be forthcoming, you will not be able to take the credit Mr. Saunders as there have been others who have lobbied as well.
