Thankyou for the feedback.
 
I actually made 8 separate submissions.
 
Did all 8 get accepted or just the first?
 
Is there a reason I can't see any of them here:
 
https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Joint/Intelligence_and_Security/ExtremistMovements/Submissions
 
Anyway, at least I can see that other people have
made submissions. So far I have only read the AFP
one, and I'd like to respond to that (and presumably
others). It will take a while to get through them all,
as I am a slow reader (but a fast thinker/writer/typist).
 
How is the committee going to go about processing
all of these submissions? Have you already made up
your minds, and this is all just for show? Or are you
genuinely going to look through all the issues, point
by point, and try to get some consensus vote on
each point after thorough debate?
 
If you're doing thorough debate, are you doing this
face-to-face or on Zoom or on a web forum or email
list or conference call or what? Is it an open debate
or is this all going to be done behind closed doors?
Can I join in either case? I prefer open debate, but
I'll take whatever I can. Or are you scared of
non-politically-correct viewpoints? I'm giving you a
chance to speak with and directly debate an
extremist. Surely that is of some value in a debate
about EXTREMISM??? Or are you planning on divining
how an extremist thinks from what you "learnt" at
university? Do all extremists even think alike? Do you
know? Do you care?
 
I'll start by giving my response to the AFP submission
in a separate email.
 
Thanks. Paul.
