Yipeee ...
Hi All,
I would call this a very sensible outcome assuming that the summary by John Sarkissian comes into being via law.
I'd also add a big pat-on-the-back to all the amateurs who took the time make their voice heard; to sign a petition, write a letter or lift the phone and make a call to their local member, or meet with the governing powers etc that has obviously had a substantial effect on the outcome.
Well done to all of you.
But ...
What we (the societies) have been given amounts to a degree of "self-regulation". That "freedom" comes with a responsibility that has to be taken seriously. Therefore, the societies should now make a concerted effort to ensure (so far as they can) that their use by members is proper, legitimate and sensible. If we don't and the "problem" persists, look out ...
It is therefore important for _all of us_ within the NSW societies, if you see another member being "a cowboy" -- rebuke them at the first instance, and if necessary report them to the governing body of your society so that disciplinary action can be taken against the member.
