deeper discussion on medium term strategy, page-80

i am not too concerned about the deal taking longer than expected (agree with Rupe, i think they were excited!).

what i am hoping the delay is for is negotiations with a government somewhere (LV, Indo?) to secure a site. VC have sites available, but maybe the Vic Gov wants to lock ESI in first. LV would be a good start i think for a smooth transition into commericial operation and could be very important for Victorians in general.

then an accelaration of timelines with VC and others once the first plant in a goer.

not asking for much, but would like an announcement before xmas Kos......
