Re: Australian policy - updates

Andrew & Sylvie,

Andrew sent us these (below) a while ago. When I went to do a quick cut & paste, it looked like what I was replacing didn't match. I spent a little time working on it, and then ran out of time for it.

Perhaps you 2 can coordinate to confirm the latest informtion? No need to copy me on discussions. It would be easiest for me just to get the final replacement HTML.

Best,

~ Shawn
