Lapel pins:
We have about 50 'Old Comrades' lapel pins to be sold at $5.00 each. These are now collectors' items and any that are not sold to members will be placed on Trade Me.
-----New pins are in the pipeline for The RNZA Assn, and these are likely to sell at $7.50 – it will be two months or so before they are available.
'Haka for Justice'
One of our members in Australia, Clarence Ormsby JP (NSW), is leading a class action to sue the Governments of NZ and Australia for criminal negligence arising from their supply of toxins for use in Vietnam, and their commitment of troops to work in a toxic environment.
-----The committee decided after discussion that it would be inappropriate to support the action as many of our members never served in Vietnam and it would be a misuse of our resources. This does not prevent individual members from joining the class action.
Banking has switched to Kiwibank for more favourable interest and service rates.
