[Linux-aus] Grant decision - funding for FOI review

[Fraser Tweedale]

Dear LA Council and members,

I am grateful and humbled by your support.  The financial
assistance is hugely appreciated, but also the words of support
from members are very meaningful and sustain me in this
endeavour.

You can continue following the story at https://openmygov.au/.
The substantive hearing is now < 3 weeks away, 2-4 September
in Melbourne.  It is an open hearing (members of the public can
attend).

With heartfelt thanks,
Fraser
