Chairman of SMLOLA, Philip Miriori met with ABG President Dr John Momis., page-40

Oh I can accept that BCL is out for two years if you accept the rest of the arguments re moratorium, "other developers untenable" and the statement by the Customary Heads (which you seem to have studiously ignored). You can't just cherry pick to suit your wishes. Still, while Momis is in the picture anything is possible (after all in 1987 no-one would have thought that as a National Government MP he would ask the BCL managing director to act outside his legal and statutory obligations); as you say the situation will remain very fluid.
