Yeah, well, I I gave it a seven because I think you know the interesting thing is um it's a hell of a job being the finance minister, uh, no matter which government you're in. And uh Nicola Willis, I've known all her life. Her mum and dad are very good friends of mine. I had uh dinner with them recently, and her mother, in fact, uh many years ago used to work for me. So I know the family well, and when she paid tribute to the family that were uh her uh brother and a sister who were in the uh gallery at Parliament yesterday, it was quite moving and genuine. But look, this is a tough time we we're in at the moment, and uh there is there's no room for any lolly scramble. And I think uh hopefully the public appreciate that, and it's easy to say if you're uh you're not struggling to make ends meet.
