I have to add to my earlier question (that still doesn't seem to have been answered) that I have been to a number of AFPRB sessions over the years, the most recent one was a couple of months ago. I share the positive views of previous posters that they are an extremely well informed bunch who do a good job representing us
and, whilst they consider the governments spending targets, put our needs 1st; if that means recommending an above target award then so be it.
