The position, as I have outlined, is that there are long-term contracts in place which Woodside said it will honour. This was a particular exemption given to Woodside effectively over 30 years ago which only a few companies were able to attract and is no longer needed. The proposition that these arrangements will be passed on to others strikes me as in contrast to what the company itself has said about its own long-term contracts.
