THroughout 1909 and 1910, Hunt writes to Janan almost monthly to ask if any progress made on updating the Naturalisation Act of 1903 so that similar cases don't have to be naturalised.
Memorandum for the Secretary, by Foenander, 19 July 1910, pp.8-9 - suggests ammendments of Section 7 of the 1903 Act: 'Much hardship has been caused, especially in Queensland, to applicants to whom Police Magistrates are often innaccessible, except at certain periods of the year. There was a case the other day of a bed-ridden woman in South Australia on whose behalf a complaint was made that she had to await the convenience of a Special Megistrate before she could be naturalized.' Also Section 5, sub-section B. wants to include 'two reputable householders'. 'A few weeks ago an Austrian lady came to me in great distress with the request that she should be allowed to requisition the services of a Member of Parliament, as she was not acquainted with any of the ordinary officials.'
