CWA to allow packaged biscuits in competitions.

The Queensland Right faction of the CWA have defied calls for sanity from their southern counterparts with their decision to allow packaged biscuits into CWA cooking competitions.

Charters Towers CWA President Doreen McClamrock defended the move.

"This is just reflective of how Australians cook today." McClamrock says, " It takes a great degree of skill to unpack the full Family Assorted without chipping a Teddy Bear. A well presented Monte Carlo is not to be sneezed at."

Leaders of the Independent faction within the CWA are retaliating by seeking to have McClamrock expelled from the Association for gross breaches the organisation's fund-raising rules and failing to bring a plate to several meetings.

Speaking under the promise of anonymity, our sources say that McClamrock's rise to power coincides with supermarket sponsorship of the CWA and influence from the Australian Arrowroot Growers Society. CWA members are the only known Australian consumers of arrowroot biscuits.

An Independent-sponsored motion for a special state conference on the issue was defeated by the Right.
