Cheers, thanks for the heads up.
Hey, did you read about the Space Concession....
The Space Concession Program provides duty-free entry of goods imported for use in a "space project", provided certain conditions are met.

$40mill over 4 years is rediculously poor from the aussie govt. Maybe a brief email to that ranga PM of ours telling her she'll get my vote if she ups it to at least 20 mill a year...considering they spend billions a year on crap we dont need...like super hornets, trade on of those in
