Mike offered his opinion GSPF. This simply hasn't come up before that I am aware of. There is an election in HB, so if that was the intent it worked. There is an election with 8 candidates. Nothing changes that. Elections underpin the very fabric of our society so I very much doubt anything dodgy has occurred.

ever heard of one richard nixon
and i thank mike for his opinion tim but i seriously thought as a councillor of long standing he might be able to give us at least some clues to the process. i mean shit they couldnt just decide something of that magnitude and not survey thier licence buyers at least??oops shit sorry mike h to soon huh
i dont doubt its the first tim but id still like to know how it was done just in case theres a second

I can't blame the chairman for coming out and putting his views out there as there's a lot of shit flying around about them so they have to be able to offer their side.

thats the only side we are getting at the mo
how those censored emails arent a breach of the confidentiality agreement surprises me ?

I also stand by my statement that this sort of shit is the last thing F&G as a whole needs. I like your idea of the commissioner to be honest.

true enough but the last thing you want is government interference that would be just the excuse the f&g haters in power would need to gut f&g,s structure.
look at ecan and cera as examples.

And that's all we will get- one side- if the other has any sense. I think it's a bluff. I doubt baiting another party is a new trick. Think of it this way, if the other party breaches confidentiality the terms of the agreement might be annulled? Even in the current council have breached confidentiality it's only more license holder money to defend a case. Council are not personally liable so essentially council can campaign as they like with relative impunity or personal liability.

May the best 8 win.

i,l pardon the pun tim.
i guess they cant be to frightened of whatever leverage he had to get the agreement in the first place or they,re confident in thier numbers to be able to ride it out?

true tim the only loser in the whole thing will the licence payer but im still curious over how the 8 came to be.
8 maybe all rinky dink but if the process to get there isnt open and inclusive then it just smacks of more 'we know whats best for you '' behavior that pee,d licence buyers off countrywide.
were any of our hb member licence buyers fish or fowl surveyed??
so sad for a region that used to boast its own gamebird release programs and farm.
i shot many ducks on the dams of mangatapiri station out elsthorpe way as a newby on a 20$ licence with a 10 mallard limit.
the big rawhiti dam in the mangatapiri hill paddock with its cabbage tree maimai was something i,l never forget.
that and getting my uncle who got me into duckshooting onto a few as we jump shot this dam and several others.
my brother even joined the pass shooters on private land to catch the waves of ducks leaving horseshoe lake on a lowcloud blusterly night or 5.

jesus tho what could an employment court or other judge penelise them for such a breach if he considered it a serious and wanton act??
