It appears that Mr Ford, “kaituitui, or community connector for the Disability Issues Advisory Group” had not consulted Group representatives before making a personal complaint to Council about my appointment as Chair of the Disabilities Group as reported in the ODT.
There was no ‘We’ as Ford claimed and was reported…
“We raised concerns with the council about the chairing of DIAG, and are pleased to see that these concerns have been taken on board.”
Today’s ODT letter to the Editor brings some welcome clarity to what actually happened.
