Ann: EMPLOYEE REDUCTIONS AT BOONANARRING, page-12

There is one area of productivity that the govt. is highly skilled in - providing more barriers for business and individuals via 'red tape'. Approval times ballooning along with associated costs. Hard for those wanting to get on with producing when one even allegedly needs to get permission to dig fence hole posts. The real costs simply pass on and of course the buck stops with you know who whilst at the same time cause stifling and suffocation.

Funny how at the start of the 'pandemic' China was shown to have built hospitals within weeks - try to build anything here in that time frame - perhaps a cubby house??

Do we need some regulation - yes but what we're getting is costly top heavy over-regulation. AIMO

With respect to how long to wait for approvals - if management has no idea then it's highly doubtful any shareholder has. Management did expect approvals to be in a more timely manner. Sadly it seems those dishing out approval processes have other ideas. AIMO

EPA is a bit more responsive these days.

Is the approval posted by so called snail mail or did someone forget to tell IMA but will do so in a timely manner?? Nice to know that apart from shareholders even management can be treated like mushrooms. AIMO
