miss out on <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Neil</st1:PersonName>'s contribution,
which would have been invaluable. The only new face on the board is a
South Australian clinical psychologist, a fomer lobbyist for the Labor
Party who cites a commitment to social justice and to the public
sector, which is promising. It seems that most of those who get
elected these days are very effective lobbyists and vote-counters. I'll try to
find out just how many votes constitute a 'quota' for a position on the board,
based on current voting figures (apparently on the old Council, it was a mere
30 votes, because so few people voted!) There's also a Tasmanian on the Board,
so maybe other factors come into play here. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

you are a great candidate and would have made an excellent board member. the
failure is not yours but the system that enforces the dominance of East coast
representation. until the society recognises the structural discrimination
inherent in its processes nothing will change - the large states have the
numbers and general apathy does the rest. the society needs to implement a
process of proportional representation to ensure that all voices are heard not
just those from Victoria and NSW and occasionally for QLD. Unfortunately this
is not likely to happen because the governance structure would prevent it from
happening - what's the old adage about those in power maintaining the structure
that gives them power??<br>
