11 people?  So does that mean:
a) Most gasfitters, plumbers and drainlayers in Taupo and the outlying reaches are thrilled with what the PGDB are doing?
b) People don't care
c) People don't think their opinions count any more
e) There were other more exciting things on in Taupo that same day - like watching paint dry

Can we hear from someone that attended? Was the meeting short or long? Did they do all the talking, or were people able to ask questions?

You know that story about licensing being up - I've heard it before - and it didn't make sense when you saw the actual figures.  Lies, damn lies and statistics...

I bet it wasn't well advertised....except when they phoned their mates to turn up......

ALL meetings should be advertised 2 weeks before in the local news paper and there should be a meeting held in each main centre across the board (pardon the pun) for a real consultation to be carried out.........but they wouldn't like what was said.

hi guys, watchdog says: (Remember no response is a YES and is totally supportive of the Board or at least that's the way it works with consultation) my opinion is that consultation results should be taken as a % of the response, not the non response. We have an `General Election` coming up in September where if you don`t vote you don`t count and is not a vote for the party in power, cheers
