sadly, the way I read the press statements, the Minister only wants to hear from the GAAG. What an appropriate name.
exactly as predicted, did the same trick meself. AOPA and the other members of GAAG are now co-opted and will become in due course apologists (sorry I mean partners) for CASA - they will start telling you why CASA can't give you what you want and how hard they had to work to get the crumbs you will inevitably be offered. I warned that this would happen unless an arms length approach was taken.
You needed to be going after the organ grinder, not the dancing monkey. Sadly you didn't.
