I see that you posted the article too!

The article certainly questions the judging process by the present AOA
tasting panel and the comparisons made between australian and european
oils need to be followed through in an objective manner if we are ever
to achieve the global aspirations of this industry.

Good Living have a circulation of 224,000 and a readership of 897,000
all of whom are presumably consumers. AOA membership is about 656 which
is down from last year and approximately 63% are growers.

I hope that this is taken as a wake up call not just another shot at the AOA.

cheers
