If the various shareholders are going to have some influence as to who
is able to bid for NRC then Jeff will veto anyone who wishes to make a
go of it. Jeff and his devious cohorts are ONLY interested in road
transport despite what you might believe having read their PR that goes
with the sale of the Victorian public transport businesses. My info to
support this theory is the announcement of an incredible amount of money
to permit the improvement of the highway between Bendigo and Geelong. I
would like to know what traffic is likely to use this road in the sort
of quantities to justify this expenditure unless he is going to assist
the road industry to completely wipe out FV grain business.
