    ENT has a point here. Everyone's wanting to find more oil and minerals, and the Indian ocean has been relatively unexplored. This was a good excuse to kill two birds with one stone.
    Since when did the Australian govt go into the business of doing geological surveys in international waters for the benefit of private oil and gas companies?

    Only one body can permit access to deep sea mining resources in international waters, so ENT probably thinks that they are planning on quietly selling this information to foreign governments so that they can apply for mining permits.

    Because no-one would possibly think it's suspicious that countries start applying for mining permits in the arse end of nowhere where nobody has drilled before.

    Didn't they teach you that when you were doing your fake geology degree ENT? Or was it fake oceanography. You're so fake qualified on so many subjects, it's hard to remember.

    It's not a statement to be explained. It's a question, which is why it has a question mark after it.

    For the benefit of the three mugwumps above.

    "The Australian Government has provided around $90 million as part of Australia's contribution to the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, including $60 million towards the cost of the underwater search effort.

    The final cost of the search will depend on a number of factors, including the outcome of procurement processes for specialist services, the length of the search and the extent of contributions from other countries. It is expected that the underwater search may cost around $200 million.

    On 28 August 2014, Australian Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon Warren Truss and Malaysian Minister for Transport Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai, signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation between the Government of Malaysia and the Government of Australia in relation to MH370. At that time, Malaysian Government committed to matching Australia's costs in the underwater search for MH370.

    The People's Republic of China has committed more than $20 million in the form of funding and equipment.

    In addition to the earlier commitment to match Australia's contribution of $60 million, Malaysia has agreed to fund the balance of the costs associated with searching the entire 120,000 square kilometre search area."

    You've awarded me so many degrees in various subjects, beancounter, that I can't keep up with the list either.
    Do you write fairy stories in your spare time?

    So you don't know who this "body" is that grants oil exploration rights, even though you work for an oil company in the Middle East.

    Strange.

    You seem to have lost the plot about sequence. You started posting at 4 am. Doing an all-nighter ? A few marbles rolling loose ?

    It's 7.30 am here in Oz, and my excuse for being on the computer is that today is Australian Census Day.

    Excuses, excuses, always excuses, wombat.

    You brought up the term "paid access" in post #3233 .."Paid access? And who would determine recipients / apportion access to this data ?"

    OZ, Malaysia and China have footed the bill so far for that so called MH370 search. What they do with the info is up to them.

    There's been no suggestion so far of any "[B]paid access[/B"] to that info, as you suggested.

    You brought up the whole idea in the first place.

    I asked a question about it.

    That is what the question mark means.

    You are going around in Aspergic circles. Calm down and have a sleep.

    Read my post 3245 again.

    You brought up the topic of the "Oz search in the Indian Ocean being just a red herring designed to distract while garnering geological and ocean studies info for Australia and whoever else it was that paid for the exploration and bathymetric survey".

    I asked a question about that.

    Too difficult for your sleep-deprived and otherwise addled brain to grasp that sequence ?? Or is it because you're an Aspie ?
