I see the Oman connection is that somehow a deal was being stitched up between Iran and Oman. The connection to Oman, of course, is before the war started. Oman was in the negotiations, of course, and Oman were sort of dismayed that they thought they were getting a deal together when Trump decided to blow the place up. And then there's the conversation that we're actually parking up a whole bunch of stuff. So the deal will be the strait is now open. That's the deal. The tricky bits will leave for another day, which then brings in the political conversation. Given what Trump said at the start of this, it would last about three minutes. We'll blow the place, flatten them, they'll surrender. Uh the people can take over the country, and it's all going to be fine. None of that's happened or anywhere close. Meantime of interest this morning is that they've blown up another guy at uh in Hamas. The Israelis seem to be at it. They're in Gaza. So this guy, Odar Mohammed, he's been killed. Is that significant? Yes, it was, because as far as I can work out, he's only been in the job for about a day. Because yesterday they blew up the other guy. So the other guy got blown up. They put a new guy in, that guy gets blown up today. So they're dropping like flies. Mike, when you're paying 10 billion a year in interest on previous borrowings, we don't have a hope in hell of ever getting back to surplus. Jared, um, if if I might, I think you're confusing our deficit with the annual deficit. So there's two things. There's an annual deficit or surplus, and there's what we owe overall. You're correct in saying we're never going to pay back what we owe as a country. But the servicing cost of 10 billion dollars is correct, and that's why we need to focus on getting back to the annual surplus. The annual surplus being on a yearly basis, did we spend more than we made? At the moment we are. We shouldn't be. There's no excuse for it. We've got a tax base that can cover proper expenditure. We're just spending and have been spending more than we need to spend. That's what the budget should really be all about today. So that's what I refer to. It's the annual surplus, not the overall debt.
