If there was any meaning in the saying "the pot calling the kettle black" then RIO surely would have to "take the cake".

It is blatantly obvious that in RIO's 16 year history of Shovelanna it was clearly not acting in the public interest.

Pushing irony to its limits, RIO is attempting to use this very "public interest" debate to regain the lease.

In view of RIO's history with Shovelanna and its laissez faire attitude with renewing the lease, one might ask the questions. Just how long did RIO intend to sit on the lease and when will the public benefit from this crown land?

At the very least RIO could not hope to win a greater than 50% "public interest" argument. Thus, Shovelanna would be retained by its rightful lease owner, CAZ.
