Well, I've talked to him a few times over the years. He's a very clever guy. When he finished his rugby, as you know, he did a bit of trading, commodity trading in London, came back here. He's got family interests in sheep and beef forestry. He's got a bit of carbon farming going on. His family business is freeze drying all the products, the peas and all that for Watties and McCain. So I don't think he's none too pleased about Watties. about what's happening with the closure of those factories, but he's certainly on a large scale. He's held in very high regard for Maori farming, which is a huge part of our primary sector. So look, he's very, very well connected and good luck to him.
