Ann: Baraka Approves Statoil Increase , page-16

Yes,Definitely a possiblity,

But.... If we review Baraka's expenses on such things to date...

They are really quite small

And if it costs a few grand here and there toward putting in place something that may make milions

It's not neccessarily a waste just because the people involved may enjoy a few fringe benfits

There wouldn't be many big investments going on if everyone stayed at backpacker's and ate vegemite sandwiches and baked beans on toast when on business trips O/S.

I know I wouldn't want to go on a business trip to the phillippines without knowing that accommodation and services would be of a high quality. You'd be lucky to even get me on a plane tothe phillippines at all. Might end up getting kidnapped by Pirates or some other hellish outcome.

..... a different country, but remember what happened to the Entire Board of Directors of Sundance in the Congo? May have been a coincidence, but perhaps not.

There are always two sides to these type of coins :)
