I can give you an alternative
Get SDL to float a new company called SDL Rail
Raise $2b in equity and borrow the other $1b to build the rail line and offshoots (exactly like Eastlink did to build the Melbourne freeway)
Get Colin Barnett on board espousing it as a great Western Australian initiative

Get SDL to float a new company called SDL Ports to build the deep water port
Raise $1b in equity and borrow whatever else is required to get it operational

When fully operational both projects would generate enough income to be a fantastic investment and give shareholder's a good return

To me such a move would be a positive direction for the board to go in

With the huge profits generated by SDL it would not take long to buy those assets
