I live in hope that once CFLC has signed a contract with a big European company, Australian pollies (other than John Brumby, who I think is on-board) will wake up to what's sitting under their noses. Until then, it's hard to be too optimistic about any of the Aussie parties, with regards support for CFCL.
I'll say it again - we'll make our money in Europe, Japan and America. You don't have to worry much about stupidity in Australia.
