Right, to Ash's question, can someone please explain in simple language the FTA with India and why Labour have got so many problems with it? Well, to answer your question really simply, they are required numbers wise because New Zealand first is xenophobes and they don't want anything to do with it. So national who are driving this need the numbers in the House. Nothing wrong with Labour at that point going, well, if you need our support, let's have a look at what we're dealing with here and we'll have a meeting and think about it, which they've done. They've then written a couple of letters to Trade Minister and the Prime Minister, etc. At the start, I was open-minded about it. Now I'm convinced they're playing games. So their major problems are exploitation of people in the workplace, which to my mind doesn't necessarily or automatically have anything to do with an FTA, but they're saying there'll be Indians who come to the country and they'll be exploited. Now that may or may not be true, but we have mechanisms in this country in place to take care of that. You know, small red flag, but let's not get hung up on it. The big thing seems to be investment. In the agreement is the requirement. Now, that's the interesting word. Is it a requirement or is it an aspiration to put many billions of dollars into India? Now I don't see that as a problem because many billions of dollars will be put into India, the same way many billions of dollars will be put into New Zealand. That's why it's called a free trade agreement. So don't panic. Stop getting your knickers in a twist. Stop finding problems for the sake of finding problems. That's where they're in trouble. So we'll sign it and then we'll bring it to the parliament and it's at that point it's a game of who blinks first. Now is Labor in an election year in a free trade country going to seriously block a major free trade deal? No they are not. So that's how that thing's going to play out. So to answer your question, really simple terms, that's all they've got to moan about. And they're playing dumb games, five away from seven.
