This comment is really unfair. I don’t think this decision from AIDA Inc was made without a lot of discussion. As a NSW parent we cannot see how our kids would have been competitive with dancers from states who haven’t had huge lockdowns. -- Australian Irish Dance Message Board

Author: I commend AIDA for keeping our families safe and taking a firm stand. It’s so sad for the kids but it’s just how it is at the moment. This pandemic is out of control.

In reply to: DD 's message, "Time to move overseas and dance as it’s now dead in Australia due to AIDA decisions. No consultation with dancers on major decisions but expect you to keep training, dancing and stay positive all year while they just keep canceling Feis’" on Mon, Aug 16 2021, 12:21:35"

Would be nice then if AIDA could explain their reasons behind it instead of just making a blanket decision (NT) -- DD, Mon, Aug 16 2021, 14:35:26"
- Are you serious or just trolling? Explain their reasons? So the reason of "Due to a pandemic that is killing people and even if we held it no-one could come due to border closures" is not explanation enough? What else would you like them to say? (NT) -- weird comment, Mon, Aug 16 2021, 15:41:48"
- AIDA don’t need to justify anything. We are all living it. We all understand without the bullet point list of reasons. (NT) -- Let’s hope now that the individual States follow so we can motivate the kids with new dances for next year., Mon, Aug 16 2021, 15:51:10"
