I suppose I would too if it were to be uninvited, which is as good a reason
as any to give for having been specific about leaving such a discussion up
to you.  If, however, any part of the code applies to foreign interests, it
might be an effective way to gain support for Australian interests.  When
the shark/fish feeding issue was recently debated here in Ft. Lauderdale,
more than half of the Pro feeding people were Bahamian citizens and
businessmen who were rather effective support for the position they were
enlisted for.
