FPA coup flies the coop
It was going to be a bit of a coup for the Melbourne chapter of the FPA.
ASIC’s most senior stick waver, Alan Cameron was coming down to Melbourne to chat to the assembled planners over a chicken lunch and a glass of reviving white.

ASIC’s most senior stick waver, Alan Cameron was coming down to Melbourne to chat to the assembled planners over a chicken lunch and a glass of reviving white.
Alas, some Canberra gnome rescheduled a Senate estimates committee and Cameron was slotted to make an appearance.
But all was not lost, he reckoned that with a bit of a dash, he could make the late morning flight out of the glorified sheep station up there in the mountains. However, on the way to the airport he phoned Victorian regional commissioner Sue Carter, explaining his doubts of catching the flight in time. So Carter fronted up to give the presentation at short notice.
And then the Powerpoint mouse got stuck.
It obviously was just one of those days.
