Dorothy Pratt displayed poor judgement and poor professionalism in refusing to speak to Cougar management before shooting from her lip imo.

Since when do police form an opinion and publicly announce the charges without having spoken to all parties ... especially the defendent.

Dorothy, to "assume" is to make an "ass" out of "u" and "me".

From this afternoon's announcement, the following exert is telling imo and I believe DERM have some explaining to do in relation particularly the bolded text ...

In the period that elapsed between the date the Company submitted its Test Results to DERM on 30 June 2010, (following contact made on 21 June and 23 June 2010) and the date that it requested a trading halt (16 July 2010), DERM gave no indication that it considered the Test Results indicated the Company's activities presented a threat to the environment which may necessitate protective measures being taken. This affirmed the Company's
understanding that the Test Results were not material in nature. If DERM considered that the Test Results indicated a threat to the environment the Company would have expected DERM to contact it immediately.

Ultimately, the Company met with DERM at 5 pm on Wednesday 14 July to discuss all of the monitoring bore results and the Company's findings. The possibility of DERM issuing a protective order was not canvassed at the meeting and the next relevant contact the Company had from DERM was late on Thursday 15 July when it forwarded the media release.
