Heather, I call BS on immigration. We're losing good quality Kiwis and we're importing courier drivers, Uber and taxi drivers, not skilled migrant migrants, so it is a big difference in quality. Well, Peter, I don't want to be too unkind to ourselves, but we are also like I know that we've lost. We're we're even in my family, one person was a hospital worker. I mean, that's you know, that's a great line of work, but it's not, I wouldn't say highly skilled. I know a lot of people who've gone to Australia and Ida wouldn't consider them highly skilled. I think it's much of the muchness. And what you can't argue with the data, can you? Anyway, um, but just judging by the text coming in, I could see immigration's gonna be a big thing today, which did come up today in the Prime Minister's speech to Business New Zealand. Um he spent a lot more time kind of talking about what's going on geopolitically. He did foreshadow the budget, though.
