Good on you then!
"Total lack of remorse" I think that's what the judge said.
Bravo! Mr Tony Radford sends you his best regards. Champagne with him next time, ok?

How can you have a "super clear conscience" Balance? You were the only person on the planet smart enough to know in advance that the disaster was imminent, but did nothing to stop those miners going to work that morning. At least you could have made a phone call or barricade the road in from the highway. Negligent to say the least perhaps.
Fish has gone under a water rock?
If I bought PRC or NZOG shares on the back of David Salisbury's 'confidence in Whitall' I will be bringing a case against him for blatant misinformation and lies.
Snr. Balance
Time some person take action - good.
hahaha I sold my stake in NZO a few months ago and I havent been on this thread since, thought I'd check it out today to see if theres anything new going on and what do you know? Balance is still on his vendetta! whats that, 18 months straight now?
Start your own thread mate
Well we have a company comment through the NZ herald today

The mistake NZO did with handling the PIKE tragedy was to give up the 25 million so soon after the accident. This is the only fault I came lay at their feet. Why it was a mistake is that it did not take the human condition into account and now we are asked to pay for this once again.
By giving 25 million so soon after the accident it just makes it that much easier for the legal fees to rise to meet that sum. In any settlement of this nature the banks always cream it to 100% and the legal boys are never far behind and that is exactally what NZO payment of 25 million allowed to happen. Let us imagine that the 25 million never happened and now NZO were to give this few million to settle with the families. Suddenly with far less outlay NZO would be seen in a favourable light.
To me the Judge should have said that NZO alone has contributed and neither the Bank or the Legal profession have done nil and in fact have creamed it.
I would be totally opposed To NZO giving any more monies without some coming from, Banks, legal ,and the govt for not closing the mine. Also I believe Balance should be digging into his pocket as he knew about this accident well in advance but chose to do nothing.
Digger, read the PRC thread very carefully and you will find that some posters like me alerted to gross mismanagement of the mine.
At every turn, we were attacked and some of the postings attacking us were as personal as they got.
Why?
Maybe you care to answer why, in a democracy and free society like NZ, no one was allowed to question and bring management to task?
Alas, if more investors have taken note, management might have found it harder to obtain the funding (capital raising one after another) and had to answer some tough questions about why the mine was so problematic.
Lives could then have been saved.
