One of the most important things i've learnt following AVQ, is that the Australian government provides far too much of my tax dollars to these backwards countries, (SI) who after being provided countless opportunities over the decades to raise themselves from poverty, continue to flush their peoples health, well being, and economic success down the toilet.
At the start of this I cared about the rights of the land owners, the people, the history, the culture......and I still do respect AVQ for maintaining their respectful position towards these things - which I hope will result in the best outcome for us shareholders.....but seriously, there comes a time when you need to forge a path forwards.
Can you imagine Australia if all of a sudden the 'historical land owners' could determine what was built and where? There would be in-fighting for centuries and our country would crumble.

It's never easy when very different cultures mix like this. Different priorities, self interest and lack of empathy can be like trying to mix fat and water... "Good intentions" and generosity usually comes with a price too.
