Nice of you to share through the Let’s Talk gateway, but honestly it looks like a tick box exercise.. e.g. throw some baffling waffle out in to the community, which will only get responses from the usual candidates who understand the language, and overlooks the majority.
This approach is undemocratic and needs to engage people in a real way not just in a tokenistic way.
Just trying to dig my way through the rather acronym riddled, virtually unreadable Policy Statement.

I strongly feel that this approach is undemocratic and needs to engage people in a real way not just in a tokenistic way.
Please accept these comments from a literate person with two degrees who works for a university conducting health research – and I find it baffling.
