I don't trust them an inch, they can and do change with the wind. We only have to look at the latest (and fastest) U-turn over the compulsory requirement to have 25% of children in faith schools not of that schools faith or of non-faith. I think that took 6 days from full steam ahead to full reverse.
However this is a red herring concerning closing CAAPS off to new entrants (which is what we're discussing). If the government want to change the law concerning CAAPS so they can do a Maxwell and plunder it then they will, irrespective of whether or it its been closed off to new members.
