The sentiment is good but just not sure why political leaders would be bothered championing the cause of 20,000 mums and dads who took a big risk in Africa. Especially in the midst of their international legal proceedings.
Can't see what's in it for the govt really. At the diplomatic level we have a small-time engagement with the DRC so its debatable how much weight our political leaders can bring to bear on the DRC.
Hi Pow4ade,
I would disagree;
Manono has the largest known lithium deposit in the world at a very high quality.
Lithium is a strategic mineral.
Whoever controls Manono potentially controls;
1) The lithium spot market / pricing
2) Significant supply of lithium
Therefore, this is why the Australian Government needs to get heavily involved.
Just my thoughts - DYOR
