What have Welnix got to sell?... a 1 (likely) + 3 (iffy) + 3 (more iffy) year HAL licence?
Yeah.
Nah.
If FFA is not interested in giving Consortium "X" (insert Canberra, Hobart, Geelong etc here) a licence on their own merit, the fact that Welnix may sell it to them directly should make no difference to FFA not approving it.
Conversely, if FFA is now talking expansion, there is less reason to buy a licence off Welnix if one can be got directly from FFA.
