CAFCA’S 40TH Anniversary Celebration

CAFCA’S 40TH Anniversary Celebration


We think 40 continuous years of CAFCA is something well worth celebrating. In fact, modestly blowing our own trumpet, we think it’s a remarkable achievement. But don’t just take our word for it. Listen to what our enemies have to say:

”... it is a new experience for me to be writing, as the Director of one still flourishing organisation, to the Secretary of another – which is also noteworthy from our perspective as the only one that called for the liquidation of the NZSIS that has not joined the others dedicated to that cause on (to use the late VI Lenin’s term), ‘the rubbish-heap of history’!”. Who said that? Warren Tucker, then Director of the Security Intelligence Service, in a letter (30/10/08) to me, accompanying the release of the SIS file on CAFCA (one of his underlings later rang us to say that the Director had meant to say Trotsky, not Lenin. You’ve got to get these things right when you’re the country’s top spy).

To celebrate our first 40 years, we are holding an all day event:

KNOX PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HALL

28 BEALEY AVENUE CHRISTCHURCH

SATURDAY MAY 2
9.30 – 4.30

Speakers:

Bill Rosenberg – economic overview
Jane Kelsey – TPPA & investment agreements
Murray Horton - CAFCA history
Warren Thomson – military & intelligence overview
Robert Reid - where is the country going?
