People just reflected and sat there for a while. Let me just get going again this year. This is going to be the big year of economic growth. get some of that debt down and then we get whacked with the Gulf War and fuel prices and highly likely inflation is going to grow so it's pretty difficult times but right now we've got very positive news for the New Zealand economy and that's yeah thank goodness taking us a while to get here but the India New Zealand FTA is hugely exciting going to be signed in a couple of days time And suddenly this FTA looks even better than what it has done because it's got political momentum, got stored for a couple of months, political games, but that's fine, that happens in politics. The New Zealand business community needs this deal now more than ever. We need certainty. We need new market opportunities. India is massive. It's a very exciting deal.
