"I don't regret that for a second, and I don't think anyone who went surfing off the New South Wales coast this week - up around Newcastle, or the Central Coast, or off the Northern Beaches - would take any issue with a prime minister who lived up to his word and considered this matter from first principles," he said.

So, the few surfers carry more weight than the Millions relying on Gas that is currently tied up with Overseas contracts, and look forward to some Domestic resource released to ease the costs.
PEP was an ideal way of ensuring supply that was not contracted overseas, yet the GOD of all GODS knew better.
