RE: Licence Register - ACMA calls for comment

I can't say I was impressed when the ACMA or it's predecessor started publishing my home address on the web, and privacy issues seemed to not apply. In addition, this resulted in the flow-on effect of the address being published in the Callbook. I think about the same time the option of supressing such detail from the Callbook was removed also.
This forced me to take out a PO box which only gets used for ACMA stuff, and now that my licence is current for 5 years the frequency of mail means looking for a more cost-effective option. I believe some radio clubs offer members the option of using their PO box as their licence postal address.
The ACMA needs to know the home address as the station location, but the option of suppressing the home address details from web publication (and as a result, the Callbook) should be available.
I gather this requires us as individuals to file submissions, or does the WIA intend to poll members to gauge their opinion?
