I think, you know, it's a different thing if it was just the one isolated thing, but the number of political comments, there was a lot. And, you know, the point that the KC made was that it's such a high profile role that he's in as the chairman of the financial regulator that, you know, can you really say stuff like that in your personal capacity when you're in a job that is so much in the spotlight? The thing is, is that, you know. Craig Stobo needs to be able to work with governments of various stripes, it's not a political role. And you know when you are The Conduct Regulator, FMA is a conduct regulator and you're telling other banks and things like that that they have to conduct themselves in a certain way, dot their I's, cross their T's, however silly those institutions think it might be, I think it's important in terms of your credibility that you also do that in terms of the way you carry yourself. It's a credibility issue more than a free speech issue in my opinion.
