I have no idea what the acronym SLA refers to.. (waiting patiently to see what comes out in the forum)

My comment re Native Title was not in reference to Jancrows comment about SLA’s but was by way of an explanation of why we have a land shortage up here.

It’s been a nerve racking experience [8D] so would love to be involved in discussions for support and information to help me along the path.

Anyone else long distance would like to keep in touch?
