For all the Government tells us how well they are doing, I note with interest that most letters I write them, are taking an inordinately long time to be replied to. It is as if they would prefer not t be bothered with anything too difficult, so if they leave the reply for long enough, hopefully by the time it does finally arrive the matter will have been forgotten. They seem to be doing the same thing to us over the Crafar Farm deal, so what's the betting this decision will be conveyed around Anzac Day?
