We were just trying to get the best deal for ourselves. "ask for a quarter if want for a nickel". beyond that tussell, it has worked out well, and without RMS you never know if something else would have darkened EXUs door at >A$2000/Oz - I doubt it. RMS might well have suffered too, recall the drop to the 70s when the plan was perceived as a bit shaky. Fair cooperation is always the way to go, best that "junior executives best not get welded to their salaries" - to quote the RSG CEO recently. Cooperation for mutual benefit - the WA multi-$b LNG industry did it with Japan in the 1980s, and that was less than 35 years after WW2, meaning the guys negotiating had real skin in the game.
