Hiya marshes!

Seems unlikely. Just keep guessing. My guess is that the two large purchases made by the director in the last few weeks may have been put into a super fund because a super fund is a good place to hold shares for the long term.

Seems unlikely. At LSF, five-day "blackout periods" apply to restricted persons such as directors dealing in shares before important announcements. It is two months before the next dividend will be announced, so it is unlikely that the next dividend could impede a buyback atm. LSF has indicated that their aim is to increase dividends, so you are probably right that dividends will increase.
