If we're sitting here in a year's time and oil is still below $45, then I think the seeds of structural change have been well sown and then you'll start to see shoots coming up around that. But it'll probably take six to 12 months before we start to see anything material, of significance.

Before you take that next step, you need to know who you're paying your rent to, at this point in time we don't know what the regulatory framework is, we don't know what the fiscal framework will be, so we can't evaluate this project and we can't put it up to buyers as to being a viable project that they would be interested in.

I wouldn't expect that changes in leadership at any particularl time are going to make fundamental changes in the way this moves forward, so he will remain quite influential I would expect.

The next 12 to 24 months is going to provide a lot of uncertainty. Companies are going to make choices. Some of those choices will work, some of them won't. I'm here to assure you that Woodside's well prepared for this.
