To add to Section28-BE's comment, the article in The Australian (21 June) states:
"Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a source familiar with the details of both bids said Bain had...."
Who would be "familiar with the details of both bids" ? The administrator may have a pretty good idea, as they are working closely with both parties. Seems unlikely that they would be leaking this information to the media a couple of days before the bids close. If it is anybody else, then surely the oft repeated "competitive tension bidding process" has been compromised ? A virtuous explanation would be welcome !
