1. CALL TO ACTION
The South Australian government has determined that there is not enough "cause" to provide any compensation funds for not-for-profit horse organisations who have cancelled or postponed events in a supportive effort to help keep Equine Influenza out of South Australia. (download copy of letter)
Horse SA is strongly encouraging all horse clubs and peak bodies to write to the State Government to reconsider their answer. Ideas for wording for letters and further information is posted on the Horse SA homepage. All clubs and individuals, make sure you take a few minutes to send an email to Minister Rory McEwen and also to your local federal election candidates. http://www.aec.gov.au/Elections/federal_elections/2007/candidates/index.htm
