Great Ken,
I couldn't have put it better.
If you aren't happy with some things that BA does then join and get involved
in the discussion. Refusing to join is only playing into the hands of
people who do not care about our birds. Every birdwatcher in Australia
should support Birdlife Australia. It is the only way we can sway the
politicians to fund the necessary research and to not approve developments
and activities that are pushing Australian bird species towards extinction.
By all means have a say in what BA does. Criticise it if you wish but join
it so that it can become strong enough to have the clout that we all want it
to have.
Regards
Greg

Dear all,
I am saddened by some birding-aus participants claiming that they are not
members of Birdlife Australia because they are offended by being asked
[repeatedly] for money.
Unbelievable.
Birding-aus is or should be an important part of the birding community in
Australia. Birdlife Australia, with the joining of Birds Australia and the
Bird Observers Club, is the organisation that campaigns for bird
conservation.
Don't give additional money if you can't or won't but please be a member!
Politicians [sadly] do not judge issues by their rationale worth - it's bums
on seats! The more members Birdlife Australia has the more effective in
lobbying it can potentially be. Membership is still only a couple of bucks
or so per week - a small investment in the scheme of things!
Cheers again
Ken
PS - Consider buying a calendar...

Perhaps BLA could offer a higher subscription category that allowed the
member to opt-out of their fund raising bombardment. If they did I would
consider rejoining having lapsed several years ago because of their frequent
requests.
