Sigh. I did a search for "Australian"+"Society of Authors" and got 13 pages... so I knuckled down and opened all 13 pages, then did a quick browser search for the phrase "Australian Society". That highlighted (within that page) all the posts where the phrase "Australian Society of Authors" occurs. Here are all these threads:

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1916&p=12920&hilit=Australian+Society+of+Authors#p12920

Done! Hope that helps. :)

Did you try 'Advanced Search'?

ASA was listed in the relevant AWF resources page, but those have been taken down.
