It is easy to observe the refinancing is at a high interest rate and make clucking noises. If IFN could escape the restrictive and expensive Global Debt Facility in a single gesture, it would have done so.

IFN has useful projects ready to go that can be project financed. Over time it will use its stellar cashflows to jiggle its debt around to reduce i costs.
Bodangora begins producing in 3Q 2018, introducing a fresh ingredient and flexibility into IFN's corporate 'black box'. I expect this to make an over-size contribution that will surprise all.
Cherry Tree will be announced before the Vic state election in November.
