By-Election In Dunedin

It does feel a little bit to me like uh our prime minister, our leader of the opposition, and anyone else in that kind of ministerial thing, should be talking to RNZ and TVNZ first. That should always be the first portal because they're the ones that we own, and that's the way that a government supports it. Not be able to go, well, I'll go on ZB, but I'm not gonna go on TV and Z breakfast anymore. It's a bit the same. Our government, like when I used to work in a petrol station as a student, my boss was pretty aggressive with me by making sure that I filled up at his petrol station, and he went, because you don't bite the hand that feeds you. If you're earning money from this station, you need to support this station in what it does. I mean, uh which is fair enough, it wasn't paying any more or less doing it with him, so I was gonna get it from somewhere. But the point being support the business that that you need that needs you, and I can see that at this level as well. Support the industry, support the services that the New Zealand public own and need as you are custodial of them, RNZ TV and Z Kiwi Bank. You know what I mean? And and and if we had the opportunity to maybe, you know, you know, Kiwi Rail, okay. Um maybe if we ever decide to buy ferries in the future, I don't know if that is or isn't gonna happen. I don't know, but you know, there could be there could be a power company or two in there. Support the things that we own, and that you have custodial uh direction over temporarily. We're gonna own them for forever, hopefully, depending on who wins the next election. You have the temporary or custodial responsibility for them, but we have them forever.
