qtk secures over $1 billion dollars worth of work, page-2

not released on the asx announcement ###"While QuikTrak directors have yet to calculate the numbers in the new China contract, executive chairman Andrew Unterweger said it looked like the new deal would match the earlier contract for revenue."###

This statement was ""never"" made on the ASX, it is an extract from a news paper report by a reporter that holds stock in QTK.
Why did QTK choose to release revenue details in this manner ?
Why didn't they say that on the 16th of December release to the asx ?
I guess if the sh!te hits the fan Andrew Unterweger can always deny that he said these words.
