Re: Dorrigo

["rodjg" <rodjg@tpg.com.au>]

I think what Bill Bolton is too polite to say is that it is pointless
carrying on a sensible discourse with persons who appear to think Jones
walks on water and will not see the real situation.  I would hope that
before the State Government hands over anything a full audit investigation
into all aspects of Dorrigo is conducted by someone nominated by either the
2  Australian Professional Accounting Groups (CPA or Institute). 

Cheers
