I don't know the answer to that question. I don't think it's probably wise for me to answer it. But what I do know is that what Labour did in their last term of government with RV21, with the mass migration programme, with no skill, no English language, no health checks, just if you're in the country, welcome to New Zealand. And if your family's overseas, bring them in, which put enormous pressure on our health system, our education system, our infrastructure. That's plus, hey, let's open the floodgates after COVID, and don't worry about actually properly verifying things. People are now feeling that. There is a lag effect of the hundreds of thousands of people that Labour allowed across the border without proper checks. So I understand how New Zealanders feel. That was a disaster, but I want New Zealanders to know we have massively tightened that up. I have gripped up the portfolio. I've put in English language. We are more fairly associating costs through levies on migrants. We've already done that. We are much harsher on acceptable standards of health and much harsher on, hey, you need to have skill, you need to have English language and you need to be a net benefit to New Zealand.
