Agree. It's a shame the Government will always seek to avoid being a direct lender, as in this case I'd say there is a very good return for the country over a two year period. But we do need foreign investment, and in the current climate it just seems easier for the Government to allow it to happen. This would be on the basis that MM undertakes to maintain employment levels, but this is easy given Nickelbum has already gone the hack on staffing (done MM's work for them - under instruction?).
