quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation

Thought everyone knew that!
I seem to remember that was the original but it was then subtly changed to "National Government".

Now it seems that either is acceptable despite meaning exactly the opposite of each other.

Over the years the blighters have become adept at these subtle changes. Anyone remember the "Social Contract" which became the "Social Compact" (whatever a compact might be)?
