Could be on Leave, could be sick, could be seeking answers from the NTG who are stalling... The list goes on.
I wonder if anyone has attempted to call or email AFANT directly or emailed the Minister directly asking if they have the answers to the questions that have been asked.

Maybe direct you frustrations to the ones making the decisions - government minsters. AFANT I am sure make recommendations but they would only be on the views of fee paying AFANT members recorded in minuted meetings - not from internet forums.
G'day guys. A lot of issues here that could have been sorted out by a quick phone call to me......so I guess that answers your question Jer
There will be no fee for parking. Government is looking at alternative sites for parking as well as what is currently available. Mick is correct that in some cases meetings with government are highly confidential but in saying that we a required to advocate for all recreational fishermen not just our financial members or affiliated fishing clubs and there is certainly no secret squirrel business at AFANT meetings, for the princely sum of $15 PA for membership of AFANT any rec fishermen can attend.

What are the details for the afant meetings triston? how often do you meet, where and when? At times I have thought that there seems to be very little consultation, but if I do nothing to my self to be involved, I can't really be disappointed by decisions made. Only meeting I have ever seen advertised is the AGM. Cheers Mickey
G'day Mickey. Good point I'll put the details in the AFANT newsletter next month so all members are more informed. The AFANT committee meets on the first Thursday of each month at 5pm at the AFANT offices in Malak shopping centre, meeting normally run for 2-3 hours
Maybe a quick reminder on here the Monday before the meeting would be good Tristan? Cant hurt and would possibly help with the perception of limited consultation.

Pretty sure Tristian did just that before the last AGM. You can also add AFANT / Tristian on Facebook and he'll send you an event invitation!
Guys, the best thing I can do is add it to our newsletter which you will receive if you are an AFANT member or put it up on our Facebook page the week prior to the meeting.
I'm always happy to encourage rec fishermen to be involved in AFANT's processes.
