The on-going problem is that the trials are going ahead without 
proper governance structures and enabling and controlling legislation 
in place. Does that make you feel any better?

And I've had it reported today that the trial sites are NOT 
explaining any of the risks associated -- at all -- when spruiking 
participation.

No matter how many submissions that have been presented, the powers 
that be still don't 'get it'.

APF has published all/most of our submissions on the website, 
complete with guidance on the key areas. Silver platter even.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
