He brought up the example of the controversial film "Irreversible"
as an instance where the Film Appeals Committee was influential in
the censors' decision to release the film without cuts.
He said consulting the public before policies are implemented would
prevent problems and concerns from being overlooked. - CNA

Consultation and the current leadership thinking is an OXYMORON.
When we run a "leader know better" system, what consultation you
want?
