Now that Cope has come to an agreement with a top services company to ‘borrow’ some of its staff, for a period, in return for a few ‘favours’, I wonder what it is gonna do next? We should have known that a political party with a businessman in the driving seat would cause a little bit of a stir in the economy.

Riding on its wealth of intellectual property, and huge financial backing, Cope is hoping to use the ‘intelligence driven by experience’ approach when it comes to national governance. On the surface it seems like a brilliant idea. You know, people from the mining industry and related stakeholders being decision-makers on things like policy and government funding. Sounds about right, doesn’t it?
