The thing is Add, I don't think Mather has ever said he is against a sale provided it was a fair offer.
Yes, he was guilty of showing the opposite strategy - empire building, securing all the regionals etc. But without that we wouldn't have had the Porvenir discovery and it's debatable as to whether we'd having landed the Franco funds.
That banging of the production drum as you put it, actually secured significant production focused investment which meant less dilutive finance.
Aside from that, we know that BHPs strategy has only ever been to try and squash us into the dirt. Newcrest always were inconsequential.
Their continued protest votes 3 years on are pretty pathetic,ubless they still believe that toppling Mather brings down the whole shabang.
