A number of younger active lame reps from Melbourne and Sydney have initiated a takeover of the ALAEA Executive. The old gaurd that seems to achieve very little for the membership can see the writing on the wall have dug in their heels. A vacant position recently contested on the Executive saw the takeover team candidate outpoll the old gard rep by 2 1/2 to 1.
That sounds bloody good, tell them to make sure the youngies contact the regionals as the executive has done nothing for them for years.
The old guard have lost the plot, you only have to read the drivel that they put out in the so called newletter each month, luckily the paper we print it on is quite absorbent.
