Dear Alan

                After your last phone call I wrote straight away to Ralph Willis MP and received a reply next day. He said he had placed your case with the Department of Immigration and would contact us when there was further news. So far no more news.

                It might be helpful if you could tell us what moves you have made, who you saw and what you were told by Australian officials. Will do what we can from this end to speed things up.

                We’ve just digesting the Australian budget brought down last night. Most severe for many years. The sharp change in terms of trade means the land of Aust is no longer the lucky country.

                Still we’re looking forward to footy finals in a few weeks. Footscray likely to just miss.

                                                                                                                Regards Dad
