    I see the idiot has volunteered to be among the first into Pike.
    Last time I was anything about it that first drift is very long.
    And I can see the alcoholic smoker having to be rescued after 5 minutes.
    And to those who want to penetrate the drift carry an external oxygen
    source so you can get the Darwin Award quicker

    It would be so funny if Solid Energy called his bluff.

    They can't of course. Their directors and management would be personally liable
    once it inevitably went pear shaped. And worse, other people would be put at risk.

    Of course they can - all they need is a very public signing of a
    statement by Peters (and anyone els going in) that he has seen the
    expert reports and accepts personal responsibility and waives all
    rights to compensation etc etc.

    That is a utter load of crap. Get your facts straight before you go advertising
    your ignorance here.


    The government set up the ownership with exactly this sort of scenario
    in view - they could easily buy the mine back from the company -
    probably for $1 - if they wanted to; so this is a decision being
    effectively made by the government.

    You are clueless and making things up. The government already 'owns' the mine already - it is the owner of Solid Energy.


    There were all sorts of statments about the urgent need to seal the
    mone or suffer penalties - strange how now that the protestors can

    Oh really? Cite some of these "statments" for us then.

    block the road legally there is no further talk of the company
    suffering a penalty.

    Yet again the government is only giving part of the story . . .

    Yet again Dickbot is making shit up.

    You cannot contract out of the law. Any such agreement would not stand

    Correct - as spelt out here:

    Spot the reference to Directors Liability starting on the page labeled
    12 in the document.

    Thanks. I hadn't seen it as the law - perhaps the elf'n saveme
    legislation has gone a bit further than intended.

    We do seem to have disagreement between the 'experts' for the
    government and the 'experts' for the families however - it woul dbe
    interesting to get reaction from each set of experts on the views of
    the other set - doubtless both parties have done that.

    It has alwaya been the case that you cannot contract out of the law. If you think about it we would not want it otherwise.

    Finally you agree that there is expert opinion that the drift is unsafe, that has been said here by several people for weeks.
    The sad reality is that experts of almost any discpline can be of different opinions; look at climate cahange where that is patently true.
