I have to regard the payment of consultants and others in shares as suspicious

Assuming  these consultants  can do basic maths and think the shares worthwhile, why would they accept payment @ .5c when they could take real money and buy @.3c or .4c. There are plenty available

As a beneficial side effect it would create some demand in a flaccid market, yet LWP persistently repeats this strategy

Since shares are being  used in lieu of cash, share holders should have knowledge of the transactions. How else can a judgement be made on managements fiscal responsibility.

If consultants have special knowledge that makes it sensible to take overpriced shares. Wouldn't that be a form of insider trading ?

Perhaps it about creating the illusion the shares have more value than market price. I note the share start and closing auction is carefully managed to achieve an above market result( VWAP ) Here on Fridays close 1000 shares pushed the close up, while the 299000 cancelled out
