A little premature

There has been call for a public meeting with the Chief Minister.  I understand that David Buffett was willing to listen to those interested but that he would have very little to contribute at this stage.  The majority of the  community  understands that it is no longer a question of, if things will change, it is now a question of managing change.  The question of whether there will be  reform or not, has been answered - yes there will be, there is no other way.  Full stop.  The next stage is occurring; that is, a Cwlth officer assessment of our financial position and the passage of the Territories Law Reform Bill through both Houses of Parliament.  Until both of these things happen and our position is reported back to Minister Simon Crean, there is no going forward.  So, to have a public meeting this week is somewhat premature.  Ministers Buffett & Anderson meet Crean on November 25 - wish them well and listen when they return.  If you feel you would like to have input - do so.  Butchers paper or envelopes  welcome!
