Well, see, it's very unfortunate that they won't get to implement that if uh this poll is right, uh, because they won't be part of the Labour coalition. So um what they're saying essentially is that look, um the government owns 51% of Meridian Genesis and Mercury, and uh they've written uh this is the Green Co-leadership, have written to the relevant ministers Nicola Willis and um uh the Energy Minister Simeon Brown saying that um basically what they should do is instruct the energy sector to um uh reduce prices for households, they say uh nearly 200,000 households uh can't afford to heat their homes or they couldn't last year, and they said that's up from um almost 70,000 more now can't heat their homes than uh last year. So uh they're saying that. But of course uh these uh companies uh and they're talking about solar energy as well. They say there should be uh low-interest loans to homes to convert to solar energy. I think that aspect of it's quite good, but you can't instruct companies as like the uh government saying I don't like uh banks, although they don't own 51% of the banks, but instructing companies on how to operate to me is just not part of this what a democratic process is.
