Yes, but they will not take a lot of notice of it. To be precise, they will weight it against the other submissions and against the opposing submissions and make an assessment of the various crediblity factors. Don't forget this is hugely important to you but trivial to 99.9% of the country.

Also, you need to talk to your MP, who will pass things up to the relevant minister. You never know, it might do some good.

That's why we need lobbying organisations - they carry a lot more weight than individuals, not matter how right they are. About 400 people had a pop at their MPs about FBT, but it was the lobbyists representing a million or so that won the concession. There is due process, but you need to have a very loud voice to be heard.
