As I noted above Asciano lost a lot of money on a failed shareholding in Brambles (how this could possibly be associated with PN profitability I will never know)

Hey, how about having a read throug ...

As noted before the Asciano loss has little to do with PN or Patrick (other than some portion of restructring costs).
