And she may find that easier as an external person to use the word no before Mr Tim and also as a woman she'll find it easier to use it without having the air turn blue. And I think it's working very well so far actually. ... I think when they presented the plan to Tim her and Gordan and Jenny to Tim and the other X directors. I think, Tim said, why can't we have Australia this year and Neville who had had the reasons explained to him beforehand at length by Jane and they'd all agreed they would reply to Tim in the same way, Neville said, I don't know, I would much prefer to have Australia this year, but Jane says we can't ... have it. Tim turns to Jane and says, why can't we have Australia this year? She replies, well ok you can as long as you're prepared to drop one of the other things. [Aussie accent] Oh, alright then.'X075 page 002.02b (tape 01.2.02b) Colin Notes/Tape 17/02/95
