[QUOTE="StephenB, post: 6181, member: 303"] JohnF you disappoint me. You know the procedure someone has to audit the auditors, Peer review the research papers etc . Any science group that is not open to peer review raises questions of incompetence in the science community. Any public body who opposes scrutiny as vigorously as ApiNZ in AFB PMP matters smells of wrong doing. Just to be quite clear ApiNZ has no intention of releasing the full submissions. They have not released any to date. Next thing to think about. Clifton uses the law to force people to have hives inspected, fill in ADRs ETC and if you don't comply quickly sends in the bully boys. Why do you think ApiNZ is above the law? ApiNZ use the law to force beekeepers to burn AFB infected hives. The Official Information Act is quite clear that ApiNZ must for-full reasonable requests for information. ApiNZ is even very reluctant to release the minutes of the governance meetings. It took the ombudsmen to force them to do it. It still requires an occasional OIA request to get them published These are not" dumb arse requests". Levy payers, as share holders have every right to see the governance minutes, see the information that is being used to develop policy on how their levys are used. The only "dumb arse" people are ApiNZ, wasting levy payers money on lawyers fighting the Official Information Act [/QUOTE]
