I got in touch today with David McCarthy President SSAA SA and he replied with the following ...

Hi Bob, the post you have read was notes from a meeting we had with SAPOL. The SSAA's stance is to argue and fight these and any other restrictions as they occur. SSAA SA have a meeting tomorrow where we will decide what our next course of action is, now that we have the information and not just rumours. In the mean time I'm sure that writing to your local member and federal member will do no harm if you express your concerns in a clear and concise way. No doubt you will hear alot more about this subject in the very near future.

This to me sounds encouraging............
