Dear Senator Lambie,

I am writing in regards to the Medevac Repeal Bill, and to strongly urge you to not allow the repeal to happen.

It is our Government that has imprisoned these people in these remote and unsafe situations, and thus it is our Government that should be providing medical support, especially given the imprisonment is a significant cause in the mental health issues so many of these detainees.

While I’m sure you’re aware of this already, it’s worth noting that the legislation that was passed earlier this year is only for the current set of detainees - it does not apply to any new arrivals, and I feel our Government has been rather obtuse in any suggestions otherwise. Any suggestion that the lack of a repeal makes our country any less safe is a cruel lie.

There have been clear cases of deaths in custody that could have been prevented had proper medical assistance been provided promptly and genuinely, rather than turning these detainees into political pawns. If the repeal goes ahead, it’s quit

To Whom It May Concern

RE: Telecommunication and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018

Ruby Australia is an industry body representing software developers who use the Ruby programming language across a range of businesses, industries, products and projects, and across Australia.

On behalf of our members generally (and specifically those who have supplied their signatures) we strongly condemn the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018, which has recently passed both houses of Parliament.

The Act was hurried through without any serious consideration for industry concerns, and has a worrying lack of oversight. It shows a severe lack of technological understanding, no respect for citizens' privacy, nor any serious appreciation for digital security. And through its existence, it tars our entire profession. Because of what our Government may insist of us, our international peers and customers can no longer trust us or our products with their ow
