Congratulations Elizabeth Woolsey Herbert !!!

Wow, how REFRESHING to finally read something that makes 100% sense, something that is totally lacking here with the government departments handling this. I was at the Orange Field Days today and spoke to someone from the DPI who said, "They have no idea about what they're doing" - great confidence builder .... NOT.

Unfortunately, THEY KNOW BETTER, and hopefully one day, will be "legends in their own lunch boxes", but until such time they will procrastinate and blunder on at our animals and our expense.
So far all offers of knowledge & help from people such as yourself have fallen on the deaf. You are so right, they all have their own agenda's, so stuff what's really important here.

We can only hope and pray that its NOT TOO LATE for our horses and the industry which we support, when the powers that be, finally do heed your advice.

Thanks for the info Re Orange National Field Days

As usual, the info we get from the DPI is a little too late. This afternoon I received my "daily update" from the Horse Council, saying that the Minister would be at the Orange National Field Day site today. This information along with times etc he would be available to speak to, would have made much more sense to have been better published either yesterday (at the latest) or last week, so that people could've taken the opportunity to get time off work etc to go to the Field Days to ask him all the questions they have. I was at the Field days and I heard no announcements re him being there and didn't see too much about EI on the outside area of your stand. I will be going back tomorrow, so hopefully there will be someone there who can answer all the questions I have and not someone who'll tell me to call my local RLPB, as they don't know anything about it. I'm guessing this will be as close as Orange gets to holding a EI meeting, so looks like I'll have to travel the 150 - 200kms round trip to Blayney or Bathurst next week.
