Well Done Pat and the AVA, a very informed press release on a very
uninformed decision. I am a "big fan" of Jeff and what he has done for
Victoria, but as for Marie Tehan - "Health" be it humans or animals just
doesn't seem to be her portfolio. A well organised body like yours will
hopefully have some "moving power" on this issue.
I would also hope that the Victorian Avicultural Council and the
Avicultural Society of Australia also put out similar Press Releases on
the same matter.
