Hi Greg,
I just tried the link - and got the News and Media page after a pause.
Latest Press Release was 03/2004...may be that gives a clue as to the pace of progress. But I could be wrong as they are out of order - refer back to 2001 and are all dated 17-Feb 2006
=================================================
Media Releases

08/03/2004 New HealthConnect trial underway in NSW

=================================================
I don't think it will pay to devote much intellectual effort to divining what is going on. I suspect nothing and the whole thing is a "snow job"
Cheers
David
