Makes the Tiger Woods $3,000,000 investment look like the deal of the year. Thanks El - it is a fantastic clip where we have had excellent feedback. Gordon, nobody could ever argue with you as you are 100 per cent on the money. I will unveil some more interesting findings in tomorrows edition of Virtual Realty News. Thanks for the input.

The following is from Crikey 31/01/08: "The powerful developers’ lobbying group, the NSW Urban Taskforce, has just morphed into Urban Taskforce Australia and opened offices in Civic in the heart of commercial Canberra to mark the arrival of the Rudd Labor Government. Established in 1999, the taskforce has strong connections with the right-wing ALP machine in NSW... ...The taskforce’s CEO is Aaron Gadiel, another trusted graduate of the ALP’s right-wing faction. A former Young Labor operative, Gadiel served the factional powerbroker and Carr Government minister Eddie Obeid as his chief of staff." It's understandable that developers are unhappy with the bureaucratic mazes they have to negotiate. Is it possible that these difficulties make it easier for the government to get contributions from people who just want to get on with their work? "A red hot go" in Fort Crumbled may be more apt than we think! Interesting thoughts, Robert, about development processes here in Fort Crumbled, and the comment from Aaron Gadiel.

No long term economical value and probably a loss over the long term. They had a perfectly good track at Eastern Creek that is idle!! If they could fix the transport and infrastructure mess as quickly, they may even get re-elected? Thanks Robert,
