I more or less agree with the exception of the length of that review lost Capital investment and even further, as to the point I made in another thread, we still have some of the highest oil royalty rates in the world, perhaps they should have lowered the royalties to encourage investment.

Get that profitability break-even number as low as possible and get people back to work.
