I fought for this when I was a Minister and there has been tremendous development even in the past seven or eight years in communications. The old system in so many laws of putting a notice in the local newspaper is by the week getting weaker. The reality is that if a person does not register, the notification will not be sent, but electronic communications are fairly reliable. What is being suggested is very reasonable. I cannot understand the very negative attitude to practical suggestions to inform people.
