Motions I raised for the August 2022 Management Committee Meeting included:
• Disbandment of the VCA Litigation Committee. The committee has failed to maintain the required number and make up of committee members, in breach of the Charter. The committee further failed it duties to members by not providing a required report for the 2021 & 2022 AGMs. The Litigation Committee has never provided a written report to the Management Committee during my term despite being engaged in a number of litigation cases. For Dogs Victoria to take legal advice from a Committee which contains not a single current legal practitioner makes no sense and opens Dogs Victoria to potential liability.
• Rescission Motion regarding VCA Representatives as the rule refers to a member with a breach of Rule 2.17 (bringing Dogs Victoria into disrepute) is not eligible to be a VCA Representative when the same condition doesn’t apply to Management Committee Members.
Both motions were unsuccessful.
