Burgess doesn't explicitly give his own opinion, but his framing of facts is clearly designed to squeeze the most FUD possible out of the story. And Morrison's participation in the article, combined with his Giltrap scare story of a few weeks ago, suggest that they're working together.
I agree that Burgess wont be giving Terry any change at all, he has a bent perspective on him. But the bold above, thats a long bow. Morrison is good for a quote or two, that is the only real conclusion you can draw on their relationship.
This is the worst part of that article to me, we've been hearing this for a while and I dont think anyone else believes it, it undermines confidence rather than strengthens it
"Mr Ali is absolutely still in the picture; I say that with a lot of confidence," Mr Serepisos said.
Dolorus your quote above fully convinces me you are Michael Brown (one of your personas at least)...FUD to you too!
I don't know whether Burgess is colluding with John Morrison.
Morrison may have been maintaining his profile but more likely I thought the Giltrap article might have been an attempt to raise awareness of a threat to our Nix remaining here in Wellington, a cry to "rally the troops" so to speak, galvanise some reaction and prevent the Jaffas from nicking the Nix,perhaps smoke out a new potential investor or two, should they be required.
