Wool Board's Final Kicks In Death Throws

Published: Fri 13 Aug 1999 12:55 AM
The Wool Board is again lashing out desperate to keep its privilege against all the odds according to ACT Rural Spokesman Owen Jennings.
"The Board's high handed obstructive attitude over levies is unacceptable to growers and reveals the true nature of their campaign. It has little to do with the very real needs of growers and everything to do with the Board maintaining its own position and power.
"The Wool Board Chairman's attempt to label me as a supporter of the Wool Corporation is another example of desperate men doing desperate things.
"I have never stated support or opposition to the Wool Corporation and do not intend to. I defend their right to a fair go, which is more than the Wool Board does," said Owen Jennings.
