Good afternoon, Jamie. Well, you know, there are people there that could, I think, quite successfully run the national party. Look, these things... get a life of their own and there's been speculation since last year since the National Party couldn't lift its rating not much above 30 percent and that is always a problem for a sitting government but this government like no other in my experience has had such a dreadful situation when it comes to the country's books I mean debt has gone you know from a fairly low percentage of GDP be now up to close on 50% and that's unprecedented in New Zealand and it just makes it hard for any government that's in power to impress upon the public that they're doing exactly the right thing but I would suggest that what the coalition-led government by Chris Luxon they have made significant changes in New Zealand they haven't spent like drunken sailors, they have borrowed, there's no doubt about that. But, you know, you've got to keep the country ticking along. And I just listened to the news conference that Chris Luxon held in South Auckland. He said quite categorically he's got the full support of his caucus. Now, some people would say, Jamie, that's what they all say when they're facing or staring down the barrel. And that is true to an extent because people will tell them that they support them and then when it comes to a vote in caucus it's always a secret vote because they don't want to do their chances of cabinet appointing or whatever any harm so they tell the Prime Minister they're with them but look I think national from a personal perspective and watching the way things go I think if they now depose Chris Luxon I think the disunity that we once saw not too many years ago in the National Party would come to the fore again and they would be lucky to be elected.
