What is the game goninans are playing??  They seem to understand the tender
process if they win. Don't they understand that they must be competitive and
not just demand government contracts because they are Goninans?

If you look at their parents reports to Aust Stock Exchange (May 98 to June
98 especially, where the parent had to write off almost $30million due to
Goninans management), the shareholders may not want them to be in the rail
business much longer.  Unless of course the government will prop them up
with taxpayer money.

If they were competitive would they not be able to win tenders on the
tender's merit and even export with our low dollar??

Maybe Goninans are crying on deaf ears this time.
