[00:00:00]If I were in the private sector, and I never going to be in the private sector again.

[00:00:03]Um, but um, if I were, those are the that's those are the components that uh, get you interested. And I think uh, there'll be a lot of interest here.

[00:00:13]If you were still in the private sector, Prime Minister, would you invest in this pipeline given the uncertainty around the separation referendum and its dependence on uh, pathways?
