I assume the shorters are better on the possibility that Springsure wont go ahead i.e. wont get government approval or financial backing. Against a declining revenue environment, does the QLD gov really have an option but to negotiate a placable arrangement that would be suitable for both BND and agricultural groups who have expressed concerns. Once the mining lease is approved the money should be easier to get. A decreasing AUS dollar must make the deal that much more attractive. Will the shorters get their prize or is there another boogey man in the closet that us punters dont know about
