[QUOTE="gcause, post: 525983, member: 1497"] I have to ask why would you want me to breach a confidence and then accuse me of secrecy when I refuse to do so? If you told me something in confidence would you want me to breach that confidence and go around telling others about it? It goes against my upbringing to do so, end of story. As for being prepared to stand up, I actually confronted the NQMA directly and spoke to them directly. So was anyone who is spreading this information about the NQMA actually present in person at the meeting in question to hear what was actually said? To take and quote a one liner out of a set of minutes out of context doesn't count as hard evidence of a legislative change being imminent, government just doesn't work that way. If no one spreading this information was present at that meeting then spreading information about that meetings content and getting it wrong would be considered misinformation in my book. As far as I am aware there is no shift in policy by anyone, these forum posts are totally irrelevant to governments decision making processes. I was an advisor to state government and have worked in state government departments and with local councils so I know how the system works. So why not wait for the NQMA to make a statement first before trying to address an issue that people only perceive to be there? Either that or meet with the NQMA committee in person or phone them and address these perceived concerns directly. [/QUOTE]
