Further, there seemed to be a lot of positionning at the time of the Alinta Sale (before my time), eg BBI ASX announcemnent 31 July 2007 included:

" The Consortium does not agree with a number of the specific claims made by DUET that it has additional rights as a result of the scheme and subsequent transactions. In particular, BBI is under no obligation to agree to the revised DBNGP OSA terms proposed by DBP (and considers that as separate from the consent process).

The Consortium also disagrees with DUET's assertions that DUET, DBP or Alcoa's consent is required to offer the proposed ACCC undertaking relating to the DBNGP, and does not consider that the proposed transaction steps will result in DUET having a pre-emptive right to acquire Alinta's shareholding in United Energy.
