It's the phoney election campaign - don't call us, we'll call you

It's now six days since I telephoned the National Water Commission to enquire whether the second phase investigation (into NSW Northern Rivers water diversion options) terms of reference have been completed.
The promised return call answering my query is yet to eventuate.
Is the phoney election campaign beginning to influence response to electorally sensitive issues such as proposed Clarence River water diversion?
