I think Twiggy and TPI have a lot to answer for. He made a lot of noise early on about "open access for all" when infrastructure approvals were being pushed through WA and Federal enviros at high speed. It was always going to be down to a price, but he certainly made it sound like the price would be reasonable and he was willing to deal.
Now 8 or 9 years on the juniors find it as easy to get on FMG's infrastructure as they do to access RIO or BHP's. Despite his talk TPI has provided access to BCI and that was at the cost of an arm and a leg (or half the project output).
Twiggy likes to be seen as a "great bloke" but I think he really has gone against his verbage of being the infrastructure provider for juniors with stranded deposits such as Atlas.
