Point of Order: Coming up with a new name for this commission was a walkover?



Not when it is developing a Treaty partnership

The news from an outfit called the Walking Outdoor Access Commission was startlingly summed up in four words in a press statement headline: We’re changing our name.

The fundamental change should have be no more than the removal of the word “walking”, because (as the press statement tells us):

“Our new name recognises more than the breadth of trail users, which range from people in tramping boots to fishing waders, sitting astride a horse or a bike, shouldering a rifle or pushing a stroller.”

And so, the new name will be the Outdoor Access Commission?
