DON'T BE THERE TOMORROW.

DIRTY TRICKS OR JUST INCOMPETENCE?

After  months  of  trying  to  find  out  when the "all of government"
response to the Parliamentary Inquiry into motorcycle & scooter safety
recommendations  would  be  tabled,  The Independent Riders' Group was
contacted by Minister Mulder's office at 1.35pm today.

The  message  was  detailed telling the IRG that the document would be
tabled from noon tomorrow, June 11.

See attached.

Two  hours  later the IRG got another call from Mulder's office to say
the document had already been tabled.

Apparently,   the  23  page  response  rejects  many  (HALF?)  of  the
recommendations.   This  would not make riders happy.     Many believe
the shift to table the document  today,  probably   before  the  first
call  from  Mulder's  office  was  a  dirty  trick  to  avoid negative
publicity.

I'm told you can go to:
