Hi Speves,

I suspect that BHP will take hte pragmatic view that it is better to accept the lesser of two evils and agree (with minimum resistance) to rail haulage arrangements with juniors rather than face the other prospect of eventual access by separately owned rail cars and locos. BHP had made earlier reference to working with the W.A. government on a possible haulage regime.

I suspect that BHP will tackle the easiest haulage cases first - BRM being one of them - to display co-operation with the Treasurer's ruling while also buying some time to consider its options more thoroughly for minimal impact compliance.

Regards,
Bones
