He still has more skin in the game than you do and your obviously hurting...but thats not the issue really, one thing has been revealed and that is while BL was still in charge we were lead to believe from him and others ( not JB directly) that nameplate was targeted for 226,000tpa , hinted beyond that and expect to be reached around Oct, that has changed quite dramatically .

What JB has done is take some time to assess the situation and then been left to break the news which Brett would have eventually had to do himself and taken the heat for...Brett does not come out of this smelling of roses nor does the board in general and its unlikely we will ever know the facts...in fact the first hint of this came from Kieth who suggested the ramp up, while going well ,would take untill the middle of next year, he was roundly abused for it at the time, as a JV partner he knows exactly what goes on at NAL...

Where we've been is now history, its where we go from here that matters and that will take some time to find out but at least we're debt free and well cashed up, JB had a say in that, I wouldnt like to be facing a CR right now but we probably would if that cash wasn't already in hand ...

Cheers Whisky
