Yeah, look, I think, you know, there's sort of three things we have to do as government. One is to give farmers real stability and certainty so they can get on with what they're doing. Uh two, we've got to create opportunities internationally so they can sell product all around the world. And when the world's more volatile and uncertain, you want more options, and that's what we've been doing. And I guess that's the third thing is you want, you know, Wellington to get out of farming. And yeah, we've been doing a lot of work the last two years. And I think farmers, when I talk to up and down the country appreciated is that you know we're trying to get Wellington out of it and not meddle with your affairs. We don't have agricultural pricing, we don't have ag going into the ETS. We um want you guys to get on and crack on and get things done. So um, and you know, look, agriculture's doing really well. I mean, um, you know, we've had a fantastic period of time, obviously, with dairy, and when you look at what's happening with red meat around the world, um, and even now wall prices. So, you know, that's really I think what they need is certainty and and stability.
