Dear Sir Peter,
Thank you for both of your letters.
I am very happy to take up your offer to convene a team for review of the methamphetamine
contamination standard. I have asked my officials to find the money and would like you to begin the
project as soon as possible. Once my officials have confirmed funding, with your agreement I will
make a public announcement in the second half of January 2018.
I really like the idea of a workshop on housing and building research. I would like you to convene it
and I would look to attend and or open it. My office can arrange the invites. I would involve my
colleague the Hon Jenny Salesa in this event also.
Keen to discuss in the new year the idea of a Science Advisor for Urban Affairs.
When convenient, I would like to meet with Professor Simon Kingham and include Minister Genter
and officials.
I
on Phil Twyford
