With that red nose he looks like Ronald McDonald.
If justice is done, he'll be receivng more than a few big macs from the sisters.
mate well done... how did you come across this ?!!!!Old mate has revealed more than I first thought - the article includes a photo and caption telling us it’s the location of the world’s largest hard rock lithium deposit. Cool - Lithium is just what we’re looking for!

That river sure looks like a lovely place to visit. But wait - it looks like it’s in the DRC’s neighbouring country, Congo. Oh no!

So this, friends, is where this tale gets very dark. Old mate is helpfully revealing to us knuckleheads for the first time that we‘ve applied for a mining permit in the wrong country, dang it!
What a bunch of fuckheads we must be for wasting time and shareholder funds in the wrong country. Thanks old mate!
What an embarrassment Tom is to the AFR & the human race. Sometimes people just out themselves as idiots without any prompting. Noice!Old mate has revealed more than I first thought - the article includes a photo and caption telling us it’s the location of the world’s largest hard rock lithium deposit.

had to steal it.... with due credits ofc
Next time he probably illustrates his AVZ article with a photo of the Big Ben.What an embarrassment Tom is to the AFR & the human race. Sometimes people just out themselves as idiots without any prompting. Noice!
Well spotted, though the photo could have been chosen by a sub editor. Whatever, I thought it was a interesting choice of photo - rather than the tailings mountains images usually associated with Manono mining - depicting an unspoilt wilderness. This suggested IMO that AVZ were poised to destroy it. Perpetuating the stereotype, if you like, of big bad miners exploiting precious third world rainforests. Call me cynical lol.Old mate has revealed more than I first thought - the article includes a photo and caption telling us it’s the location of the world’s largest hard rock lithium deposit.

That's what I got too,not synical at all mate when the pricks that write this crap have already been proven to have an engender.Well spotted, though the photo could have been chosen by a sub editor.

"And the (brown paper) bag was this big"
I’m actually not comfortable with the way everyone’s attacking this bloke. Fair enough you’re pissed off and his influence can sway the views of others. But there is a way to counter his arguments and point out the flaws in his journalism whilst retaining some of the integrity and diplomacy you’re accusing him of not having.
I must be tired, I just fell a little in love with Jules and shed a little tear seeing someone in a position of power from the DRC government speak the truth and speak positively about AVZ. Hallelujah I think the tides are turning, justice will prevail!!
I told the AFR after Tommy's first Boatman-biased article that I'd cancel my subs unless there was a retraction or re-balanced article. There wasn't, so I cancelled them. Last night I reminded AFR why I cancelled, referencing Tommy's latest rubbish. Surely, AFR will have to cut him loose if he continues like this.Unfortunately these days writing a well versed letter to the editor gets you nowhere, outrage and public lynchings are the only way to achieve anything. How many people do you think read his last article compared to how many people knew that the correction hidden on page 10-ish of the physical print copy even existed?
This guy and the boatman are dutch ruddering their way down a river in neighbouring Congo and talking absolute shit, without everyone calling him out there would be zero consequences for his inaccurate, biased and factually completely incorrect 'journalism.'
Tommy R is an arrogant, self serving and piss poor excuse for a journalist.
I’m not disagreeing with your sentiments DD, and I’m not saying we shouldn’t use the socials to argue with him and make light of his ‘spurious claims’, I’m just saying some of the stuff has been embarrassing to read. There is a way to fight the fight, achieve the same outcome and maintain some integrity.Unfortunately these days writing a well versed letter to the editor gets you nowhere, outrage and public lynchings are the only way to achieve anything.
