My original reply's format seemed corrupted so I have asked for it to be removed. Hopefully this is a clearer answer:
As I recall the original halt was for 7 days, then suspended for 9 days or so and then extended for another 10 days.
We do not know the factors at play for the extension but common sense would strongly indicate that the requirement for another 10 day extension would have been well known by the BOD throughout Friday 4th (and most likely a day or so before), this did not suddenly become apparent at around 4-5 pm Perth time on the 4th.
IMO given that the extension would have been clearly required earlier on it would have been better to have announced it sooner, you obviously disagree and that's your prerogative.
