I spoke to the registry early last week. They told me the "cheque is in the mail" I have had similar experiences getting excess SPP payments back from these people previously so they can use excess funds for some weeks for their own benefit relying on shareholders being patient as the "cheque is in the mail". Probably grounds for a complaint to ASIC over the registry's proven tardiness and motives.
My inclination is to dispose of all share holdings I have with a connection to this registry which seems to be quite good at self promotion but somewhat lacking with delivery.
Other registries I deal with are a cut above these folks.
