Hello Dave
I am sorry that you are upset by my post.
I certainly did not, and would not challenge your knowledge on the requirements of the regulatory bodies in Aus.
I was simply nettled by your incorrect assumptions concerning the Institute, it's members - and indeed members of other bodies who have taken the trouble to undergo U.K.
training to the same level as yourself.
The HPC recognises the relevant university courses for registration, the Institute recognises them for membership, as do other professional bodies as well as the Society.
Your shouting that 98% of Institute "would NOT have a QUALIFICTION" that would enable them to practise in Aus. was both incorrect and rude from the point of view of shouting and your stated 'fiction' element of their qualification.
I was not carrying out a personal attack on you or any individual, as I hope my posting made clear.
I simply abhor the hypocrisy of bodies that provide incorrect information to their members in an attempt to swell their own ranks, presumably for pecuniary or trade union motives.
I do not blame you for repeating that information but if you do so, then sadly, you will be held to account, not the person(s) who have lied in the the first place; hence my remarks concerning professionalism.
I trust that we can get over this disagreement, as I have enjoyed many of your previous postings.
Have a great barbie at Christmas (it's freezing here) and a biblious New Year.
All the best
Bill
