Hi everyone

All of you have gone very quiet!!. 

Its hard to comment on issues when the Board is no producing anything. This year they've produced a copy of the Board news, they've have put out two Gazette Notices, both of which are the subjects of complaints to the Regulation Review Committee, they've conducted a fees review which is also the subject of a complaint to the Regulation Review Committee and not much else of substance.

Not producing anything is just as bad as not producing anything of substance. Don't fall in to a false sense of security or loose interest because we are now over halfway through the financial year and we don't have an annual report, don't have the summary of the comments from the fees review, we have a number of course that are not up to speed as far as CPD goes, so there isn't much to celebrate.

You have to keep motivated and keep up with issues, you need to keep taking about the issues and keep coming up with ideas. If you don't the last decade will repeat its self and by the time you notice an issue it will be too late, it will be implemented and you will have to fight to reverse it. Look at fees and competence based licensing.
