Ann: Mining Contract Awarded, page-15

Thanks for that mate. Nevertheless, costly. Especially if we don't know what machinery they will have to move up there. And then consider if we are to move huge Tip Trucks too which will have to be split up in smaller sizes too.

I have seen big heavy equipment split up and then having to be escorted not only by a patrol but also by Police Escorts (which don't come cheap), around the Hunter Valley area.

All of that for just 6 months work......

What we haven't been told of, is as to who will pay for all that. But, been in business for many years before, IMO it will be CDU that will have to fork out for all of that, or the hirer will load it all up on to their fees and charges to CDU. Nothing comes for free in business mate.

I only wish that CDU would be more clearer and open with their announcements.

I have also noticed that that particular announcement didn't bear the signature of BB at the bottom of it.
