Ann: FBR and Brickworks form joint venture, page-154

** Brickworks ** ( your answer perhaps ) - really , get away with you .

No one can know tomorrow, tomorrow’s shareprice included — but some trust is required in the management of each of these amazing companies .
Or you would sell or not risk being aboard , and forget about the company .
( note - CR , was > 13c ? And seen as Value then )

I see - * Fastbricks for their tenacity, and years of research and project building here towards future scale , and the vision for future automation of brick- laying & building . Inevitable IMO .
( I imagine people derided similarly about cars ! , as you implying , one hundred years ago )
* Brickworks - a highly intelligent , respectable , company of integrity . They are the ‘bigger’ partner, hugely , and this speaks volumes . This is not utterly predatory , and certainly not a minor decision on Brickworks side ! Or would NOT be worth their while .
FBR - fits with their LONGTERM VISION, surely .


All the best .
Early years still I’m sure .
Rapid moves and advancement are still now required, and I think the stage is set .

Proud to be Aussie days like today . I think the partnership has more to be revealed .
Many my vintage are wishing that Australian tech and intellectual advancements ! - can more often stay and Be Australian owned , or Australian companies controlled . Disillusioned by past losses.
( we’ve lost nearly everything developed here by Australians or which was Australian sponsored innovation , usually derided or minimised before being taken over due to lack of money and patronage here , market too small , especially during the last 30-40 years )
Bolta .
