[QUOTE="Dennis Crowley, post: 6439, member: 63"] $395 and a day lost on the bees, if you went to a stand alone organization expect these prices to rise. Wrong, at the moment AFB and APINZ share an office space due to hi cost of rental space, that would change heaps if AFB found it's own office space. Not saying it can't, or shouldn't, that's levy payers decision, but don't kid yourself that it will be cheaper, there are also other cross over benefits all to do with the way it goes dealing with and access to Govt and MPI in WLG. They do now, but they might not get asked if we should buy the yellow pen or the blue pen, as there is some sense of knowing that as long as they are not unreasonable that the office just runs. No issue with OIA a good process of the democratic process. No tainting, except in a couple of other people's heads, most can understand how things work. Yawn, not this old chestnut. That happens now, but sometimes the complainer is in the wrong, and don't like the answer so feel it hasn't been resolved. Perhaps this is you Steve? I am not wedded to the AFB staying where it is, If levy payers wanted a stand alone organization then they would have to be prepared for a big increase in their levy's and more bureaucratic layers to go through, and you won't get anymore bang for your buck I would suggest. Based on where APINZ, and the NBA before that, was renting office space, talking to others in WLG who rent now, knowing the process APINZ went looking for the space they have now. But its good you sent in your submission Steve, let me ask you this. If no one else agrees with you and it stays the same, are you able to accept that and move on. I do not have any info as to what the answer is, I am not hinting/suggesting to others that this is the case, just asking a question. [/QUOTE]
