The purpose of our meeting is not to score points and to create division but there was a level of anxiety which came across very palpably on the airwaves and the good news story was diluted. This unit was opened with great fanfare and suddenly there was a problem. I understand the demands and pressure. This meeting has given people confidence and I am reassured by the presentation.
