Hi @Pugmum71 and welcome to the community. 😊 Bless you, you're not alone with your worries. Although the announcement and green paper was released today it's not set in stone. We're now entering consultation phase which will allow us an opportunity to respond. We understand you likely have lots of questions regarding the new green paper announcement, so we've created this discussion for everyone to talk about it here - The Green Paper Discussion

We'd prefer to keep the conversations regarding this all in one place, so as to protect the mental health of all on the community, so we will be closing this discussion. I hope you understand.
