<p>They are very valid points that this Sam had.</p>
<p>So I assume you only want "yes men" on this list... you only want those that sing the praise and hide the dirt? you dont work for Qld Govt premiers office do you Mr Walsh?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would have an issue if his comments were BS or fabricated, but face it, they aint, and he's right! (and if I got an 11pm phone call from some organiser wanting to bitch about an employee/contractor, I would abuse the utter fsck outa the fool for calling me so late, nothing -short of a medical emergency, justifies a call at that hour about a 3rd party.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12px;">I see nothing written there that is false or misleading, in fact I only ponder why "Sam" did not join LA if not already a member, and run for council to change those things.</span></p>
<p>I also agree on the bit about pensioners etc getting support (or maybe even free access if they get their own way there), LA has given thousands to a now defunct U.S. based group to garner more women into this area (which I for one have seen no uptake of here to justify the values), so they surely can subsidise a few old folks or invalid pensioners who would like to attend. I fully know I open myself to flames on this paragraph, but frankly I dont give a fuck, it needed to be said.</p>
