NOT HAPPY JAN!

I am probably like quite a few people who had resigned themselves to having to just wait out this EI epidemic and cope as best as we can with as little complaining as possible. However, the more I sit and read the ineffectiveness of our different government agencies mainly due to political manoeuvrings by well placed individuals who listen or are involved in the racing industry, i.e. Alan Jones, the crankier I get. It is time to let the our local members of parliament and local politicians know that the pleasure horse industry has a loud voice too! We may not have the financial resources that the racing industry has but there are a heck of lot more of us than there are of them and I for one will be writing and telephoning the politicians who work for me from now on (get ready you polys!).

The next step is to start putting together a very large class action suit against our government agencies who have been involved in this E.I. blunder from the beginning. This should include every single pleasure horse owner from every zone in both QLD and NSW who has (or certainly will eventually) experienced hardship and trauma from this tragic debacle. The Australian Horse Council and the EFA should be investigating this avenue if they have not already begun to do so.
