The sale is still on , delayed up until now by having to get the agreement of 
all the shareholders, but I beleive there is still some dispute about who will 
be allowed to bid , in that the NSW and Vic Govts dont want other Govt bidders.
I understand that Qrail were going to be a bidder.
Toll Rail is also interested.
The sale is supposed to be completed by the end of this year.
