Australian Rain Corporation - who are its mysterious shareholders ...

Recipient of former Minister Turnbull's pre-election $10 million grant largesse.

See - Rain gift flushed away.

Who are the mysterious so-called 'Swiss shareholders' of Australian Rain Corporation?

If this deal was all above board, why can't the shareholders be revealed?

Doesn't the Australian taxpayer who provided the funding deserve to know exactly who is behind Australian Rain Corporation?

Why the secrecy?

Excerpt from 7.30 Report:

Turnbull under fire for $10m water deal

19 November 2007

GREG HOY: Electrification of the ionosphere to create clouds out of thin air. Certainly sounds a lot like the secret Australian rain device - no photographs allowed - that so excited the Minister and those who will share his six-month $10 million research funding.

All for a company the minister says is Australian owned, though we found it's actually 75 per cent Swiss owned. Our requests for interviews with Malcolm Turnbull, the head of the Australian Rain Corporation, the head of the centre contracted to test the device were declined.

So, too, the head of the National Water Commission, which insisted on a presentation of the technology for local physicists.

The rain corporation presented research documents written in Russian explained by a Russian researcher who spoke to local experts in Russian.
