Your last question has an FFX feel about it. Anyone else recall...

Their bonus structures were possibly tiered around reaching nameplate?
As we aren't getting to that now, it's my best guess.
Now they're not getting them Simon feels compelled to dole out the same largess (out of our pockets) he is requesting for himself. It will also make it easier for him to hire them on his next venture I'd imagine.
Perth looking after Perth, and not shareholders. Again.

Look they all did a good job. And got paid a good salary for that job. Bonuses are for company success, not failure.

Your last question has an FFX feel about it. Anyone else recall MA walking out the door, given a very large ($485k?) 'termination by mutual agreement' package. When he ought to have resigned outright for failures in management of project , or been sacked by the Board....that also had Borg on it.
