Yes he was great. Though, I think his cander under lined some important points. He did not want to move Christine Holgate on. In his eyes her performance has been great and the board was caught off gaurd at the move. You can also here in the way he says he doesn't understand why she would leave, which is another way of saying he doesn't agree with her decision.
So, to those posters claiming she was terrible and it was time for her to move on. Listen to the guy that owns 24.5% of the company and has his name on the bottles.
Reaffirmed the 'guidance' - which isn't really guidance - to a big jump from FY15. I guess this is the reason for strength the share price today.
