It would be good if the people involved in this debate were to read the section relating to Part 7 Officials and look at their duties and authority.
With those roles defined you can easily see where the responsibilty lies and whilst using the Clerk of Course as an example, they may delegate the responsibility for a task to be done they cannot delegate the responsibility for that task being undertaken correctly.
MSNZ can not eliminate personal responsibility as has been defined in law. Rules and regulations set out by MSNZ can do no more than protect MSNZ as an organisation, not individuals who must as such abide by the law. From the outset I have been fully aware of all ramifications involved in this issue. The facts of the matter stand.
Volunteers officiating at a motor race are placed at risk and are vulnerable due to the current law, no matter that the risk may be hopefully marginal. Many are unaware of their situation and remain unprotected, the degree of risk is beside the point.
Denying the situation by arguing as to the degree of risk, amounts to pissing into the wind. ;)
