I like the sound of the Aussie system. Iron out the rough edges along the way, with important input from their "original" countrymen. In practice I'm trusting the Aborignal rights are protected etc, not just in theory. At least they have a process!
The Swedish process, cough cough, to the untrained eye (lol), well, I'm sure it appears as if they are making it up as they go along. Evidence would also support that. Lol.
ANI has meant that Kal has been a hot potato, in my opinion, instead of without the award, any old application that could perhaps have gone through like an absolute breeze, in say, 9-12 months, without anyone noticing. No political jockeying necessary. Not in the national interest kind of thing. The ANI has hampered us, insofar as those against mining in principle have been drawn to its status like moths to a lighthouse bulb, and have tried then to make a stand against the Swedish mining policy. ANI equals media coverage. The opposers have used that to their advantage. Only my view Aug.
So there. Instead of our application being dealt with properly, nobody has wanted to take ownership of it, and even the Swe Gov is only dealing with it now because the Danes told them to get stuffed. Lol.
Time for bed.
