Because, I mean, I know Singapore relies on our LNG, of course, so we're in a good negotiating position, if you like, but...

The supply just can't be guaranteed, can it, from Singapore?

And by the way, the Singaporean Prime Minister did not guarantee that.

He just said he hoped that the supply would continue and he would work towards doing that.

But that's not a guarantee exactly.

Yeah, well, it's just spent $20 million on an ad campaign, so I guess that's not a sign of calmness.

Well, Sol, just lay it out for me.

Chris Bowen, the Energy Minister, he says we're looking pretty good for the short term.

But in your view...

In what month and when is crunch time?

What about jet fuel?

Because, of course, we are a nation of travellers.

Now, just tell me then, Sol, before the war started, in Australia's big population centres, we were paying something like 160, 170 cents per litre for unleaded petrol, maybe 180 cents per litre for diesel petrol.

I guess what everyone wants to know is, will it return to that level at some point, or will we be stuck with these very high prices for a very long time?
