The MEAA's annual freelance convention provides an invaluable opportunity for freelancers for networking and education.

I must say its a nice thing to find this site where you can disagree with the journalist and not have the site editor delete your comment. One thing I found rather odd over at Fairfax was the CEO David Kirk writing a few pieces all be it on rugby seeing he is an ex All Black but still it did seem amusing.
