We'd like to thank all the little people

August 2007:

I would also like to acknowledge the other members of our negotiating team who are joining us today: Mr Ed Martin, Mr Chris Kielley [sp.?], Mr Jim Keating, Miss Christine Healey, Todd Stanley, Bill Malloy, Brian Crawley, Elizabeth Matthews, and Peter Hickey.

August 2008:

I would like to take just a moment to acknowledge the core negotiating team.

The team consists of officials from the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Justice, the Energy Corporation and our outside legal counsel. They are here to day, and I ask them to stand.

This team was fully supported by officials throughout government and the Energy Corporation, including the Departments of Natural Resources, Justice, Finance, Cabinet Secretariat and my staff. I invite each and every government official who participated in this success to also stand.
