Compo Forum - A Lib Responds


Thank you for your invitation to attend the meeting in the Parliament House Theatre.

I attended and I found it very informative. I was extremely

impressed with the remarks made by Ms Forbes, Ms Davidson Mr Bull and Mr Jones.

They raised pertinent issues which need to be addressed. I will do my best to ensure that they are.

Yours sincerely,

John Ryan MLC
