[AusNOG] APNIC Slashes Costs for New Members

[Jared Hirst]

Agree, and one would have thought that me as a member paying them they
would at least look into people taking advantage of the system,
clearly I'm just the only one that sees this as an issue.

Sorry for bringing it up, I'll remember in future to just be attend a
political meeting with APNIC and not voice it here for discussion :)
