I think that would be the wrong way to view it. We've announced it this week because it's it's part of the budget, and um, you know, we're announcing a whole range of things related to the budget. Um so there are budget implications, but it's not fundamentally about savings. There are some savings on the way through, but actually the increase in income related rent that people will pay, uh, all of that is 90 90% of that is reinvested in increases in the accommodation supplement. So as you said, social housing tenants will pay more, but the accommodation supplement, which goes to far uh far greater number of people, it's about 380,000 recipients of the accommodation supplement, they'll get an extra 10 to 30 dollars a week. And the reason for that is is a pretty simple one, which is that what we have at the moment is a situation where you can have someone living in a private rental next door to someone in a um in a social house, they're in exactly the same financial position. If you're in a social house, you are far better off compared to someone in a in a private rental, even though you're in exactly the same financial position. Now, that doesn't strike me as fair. I think most Kiwis would say that's not right. Um, and so the system will now be fairer uh than what it is at the moment.
