I think its only a few years since the current one was implemented

grv will tell you that they are hesitant to interfere in club activities but on a casual glance you could be excused for thinking that "grv" is mentioned more frequently than "club member" and they want members to adopt the document before it is ratified by consumer affiars

The GRV model incorporated some of its own preferences, which can be accepted, or not, by club committees for voting on by members.

The process should be that:
1. Constitution changes are considered by the committee for putting to members
2. Members vote for the changes
3. Consumer Affairs ratifies the changes (for AIR compliance)
4. The Racing Minister ratifies the changes (for Racing Act compliance)

Conventional approaches to regulation (eg ASIC, APRA or even ACCC) have no requirement as to the content of a Company Constitution in excess of Corporations Act requirements.

However, it is probably appropriate for an Industry Regulator to produce a guidance document for club governance and compliance, in preference to a Model Constitution that contains, but does not distinguish, preferences that may or not be politically based.

From a Constitution purist perspective, I agree with the view that an industry regulator should not be named in a Constitution.

Must research what clubs still have commitee's.
