I have heard rumours that there is some private capital around for the MES upgrade, but I'm not sure that I believe it....let's face it, in the wake of all the bruhaha any corporate who was looking to put money into the project would sign pretty quickly so as not to be trumped out of whatever profits were on offer by a government grant.

If there's money there, it's very cautious!

As for this not being on the radar.......they have no choice, an 8832 signature petition which HAS to be tabled in the Legislative Assembly ensures we'll get at least a smidgen of discussion, the funny thing is, the labour opposition might just be the guys making miles out of it now....whoda thunk it?
