This letter was sent to today's Norfolk Islander..
Dear Sir,
Those who attended and participated in Wednesday afternoon's Forum/Consultation should be aware that they were NOT actually offering views on the Joint Standing Committee's Recommendations 3-8. The Administrator's questions were framed merely around the subject matter and detail contained in those recommendations.
In actual fact, every one of those findings recommends that the Commonwealth Government "assume responsibility for.." "appoint an officer to..."  "take charge of.." etc, with absolutely no suggestion that our own government have any role in the process in improving infrastructure and the economy.
Although there was much constructive discussion of our visions for Norfolk's future, a large proportion of the respondents made it clear that our own government should have the responsibility for the process.
It is regrettable that our Administrator continues to disappoint us in the area of honesty and trust.
Read the report for yourself on our government's excellent website norfolkisland.gov.nf 
Yours sincerely Mary Christian-Bailey
