Thanks, Matt. Twenty seven after twelve. It is a very good read. I've just started reading it. I got sick of waiting for cousin Barry to send me a review copy like he's uh meant to, so I had to go and buy one. But never mind. He's promised me a review copy, and I might give it away to you folks out there in Radio Land. It is a good read. One last question, Prime Minister. Um I've read the Muldoon chapter, I've read the Longy chapter, I'm on to the Bulger chapter. Very interesting observations. Uh from Barry Soper. He's been around in Parliament since Muldoon was there. The only one who's been around as long as Barry is you know who, Winston. Uh, some of your feedback. The PM needs to move on. Times have changed. Most people I know don't give a r a rat's rare something or out else about uh nuclear ships. I I'm with you on that one. I haven't got a problem with them coming here as long as long as they're not firing a weapon. I think we are stuck in the 80s. Uh, here's another one uh Luxon is so much better to talk to than Hipkins. Hipkins wouldn't know what a bloody spade looks like. That's from Muzz. Um Jamie, is Luxon or any of the or any of these other naive politicians aware that China, Korea, and the USA already have container ships under construction uh with nuclear propulsion. My point exactly. It might be the way we power things in the future future. Go, Jamie. You and Lux and Rock.
