AVZ Discussion 2022

[wombat74]

Victoria Coast on the crapper has advised that MoM has cancelled her trip down under, after she confirmed with the organizers. Don’t know if it’s true but she is still listed as presenting on the website. Anyone heard same? Not surprising if true. Was always on the cards if this crap wasn’t sorted by first week of September.

If I was being negative ,and her cancellation is true , is this is a big F--K YOU to AVZ ? IMO

 

[Xerof]

So, what's got our md grinning like Cheshire cat then?

Say cheeese

 

[Hemicuda]

Say cheeese

not wanting to be a debbie downer like wombie, dont think the mom visit to aus is necessarily a negative thing. If you think about it, whatever happens to avz in the next few days is not going to take the stench of corruption away from the DRC. It would make more sense to visit aus once they have settled avz AND have a track record of orderly and non corrupt dealings over a period of time, in essence they need to rebuild trust in the international mining community and this isnt going to happen overnight. So it would make perfect sense to me, for the mom to reset for the next africa downunder in 12 months once they have established a track record so the mom's words might actually believed. this is of course my harry happy positive spin.

The other thing is that if they are serious about cleaning up corruption, then the mom should actually be fucking doing something about it rather than going on junkets.

This is me every day this month when commsec notification chime in the morning hoping it's AVZ announcement.

If the ML / TO is awarded prior the Perth conference then I agree with everything you said .

Let's face it, if you were in her predicament would you come to Australia?

Mind posting a screen shit/shot.

Legs . As in 2 legs . How many ways can you break both legs ? Car accident . Falling out of an aeroplane . If it's true , then like Jens I wish her a speedy recovery . Is it in bad taste to ask for proof ?Maybe a selfie ?

I know what the movies would suggest if you have 2 broken legs.

I have lost all hope.

There isn't a shred of integrity from Morocco to the Cape is there?

 

[Panther22]

I never believed she was going to come here, too many questions to answer. Too much criticism to cop.

Legs or kneecaps?

I think you're being a bit dramatic.

 

[Mute22]

I think you're being a bit dramatic.

The whole continent is a bucket of crabs

When I am referring to integrity, at least be honest and say you don't feel it's appropriate to attend with ongoing court cases pending.

Making up excuses like you are skipping PE class is pathetic.

 

[Xerof]

Fuck me, if you’re going to break multiple legs to get out of a conference, at least make a decent attempt
