ministry of finance takes a 4.67% slice

I'd say these shares were part of Simon Lohs original holdings in an off market sale through the AIM.
26/04/05 Orion Gateway Pty Ltd 14.73 18.1 8,967,000

It's a nice vote of confidence, but the market wants MORE !
Imagine how many stocks on the ASX would have risen if Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance bought into their company ?
Maybe it'll hit home when they appear in the top 20 holders.
