Having spoken with Peter Parr in the past on multiple occasions, I know Bill's statement to be completely untrue.

The deception was further compounded when Bill then used a technicality at the AGM to preclude both Peter and Jason from acquiring NSWCA membership in time to run, thus allowing Bill to run a Zimbabwe style one man presidential election - which of course he won.

Further to the post quoted above, and on the off chance that I was wrong, I decided to go to the horses mouth and see if there was an element of truth to Bill Gletsos' assertion that Jason Lyons was under a mistaken impression.

I was told by Peter Parr that there was a very clear understanding and arrangement in place whereby Bill Gletsos had agreed to not seek re-election as NSWCA President, thus making Bill's latest comment a complete fabrication.
