The anti's could jump on this statistic and make the argument that if they can't fil in he form that how can they be trusted to follow the rules. Bit of a double edged statistic this one but great to see the popularity growing in QLD, hopefully they can get traction in getting some of the stupid laws up there changed.

Try as we might, we all make typos and miss things from time to time, ie some minor detail in the application process.

I loved the way you so delicately turned it around and put the blame squarely on WLB. (I'm sure they don't deserve 100% blame tho )
However, in the email it does state 350 NEW applications per week.

I would say, "So what?" But I know that might not fly as well over there.
Somebody not "following the rules" does not equate with a death nor an armed felon. Most of the rules over there accomplish very little to nothing IMO. I know others see it differently.
