Hi Sajjad,
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.
Keep up the good work!

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

The bill in it's current state is very unlikely to get approved. Will
keep you posted.
Cheers,
Sajjad
