Honey and Vinegar-Bryant's Latest Offer

The Minister and his minions are out there spinning away on his 3 visits to KI and his various offers to fix this problem. We all know the Minister likes to say early and often that he likes to "fix problems" and we can usually count on him to preface the fixer cliche with the word listen.

Those who read his last letter to KI or his comments in the media might be distracted by the dollars he is now willing to put toward KIs legal costs, bilateral forums and community consultations.I'm not.

We have to ask ourselves: what's the catch?

The catch on all these offers is that the quid pro quo is drilling.

Sometimes the "catch" is all dressed up in the phrase "implementation of the court orders", but all that means is court ordered drilling.

Will a spoonful of legal costs make the drilling medicine go down?

Dream on Mr. Fixer. KI are still in a dialogue with the deaf(no disrespect to those with hearing loss).
