Flying Kiwi,
I can understand your questioning of the AOA's silence:
My question is what is ST and the AOA doing and why havnt they said or done anything, i mean we are all pretty much doing our own contract compliance lets make it official.
However, a while back you posted this:
Unbenowen to that committee member i had my AOA application form and cheque in my bag, I was on my way to post it when i stopped for the coffee. The only place that application went was the bin.
Choosing not to support the AOA is your choice. That's fine. But I guess ST's and the AOA's question to you would be: "vice complaining and hurting the AOA's leverage by being in the significant minority of non-AOA members that NR alludes to often, what are you doing to improve the situation"?
