Well, you know, there's a commitment to best efforts. It's not an absolute commitment. We get that, but we need some explanation as to what happens if in 15 years' time we haven't invested $33 billion New Zealand dollars in India. What will that mean for exporters who might have committed money, less money than that, but money to the Indian market? So these are questions that we would have asked through the process had we been consulted. Look, National, you know, Christopher Luxon tried his own hands by saying, I want this deal done within three years, and then hadn't done the deal with Winston, so had to come back at the last minute and ask us to support this without the knowledge and the background that we would normally have expected.
