Uh it is now 424. Text through. Uh on 10s. Three of our family left our doctor's surgery after 10 took it over. Went from four doctors to none. Had to talk to a doctor in Auckland by Zoom, and that's from Colin. Look, we're gonna remember the fact that the uh primary funding for GPs has been reduced. They have been warning about this, and this is the model that we're going forward with. Corporatization, efficiency, digitization, and all sorts of things. I know it's unfortunate, but I think you'll all remind me that we don't have a lot of money around at the moment to spend on very much stuff. And this is what happens. Meanwhile, on uh Moana Pacifica. Stephen's now doing some speculation. He reckons uh his money would be on Jason Mamor as a Moana Pacifica mystery benefactor. And Stephen, I can safely tell you that you're wrong. Uh, but I'll tell you more about the details of who has started to put their hands up, but also the problems with this with this possible deal a bit later on. But here's the story I really want to tell you about because this is gonna get juicy. So in Christchurch, there's a big old rise in parking tensions, and new council data shows that vehicle tows have jumped nearly 30% in 20 from 2021 to 2025, from 1446 to 1882. This includes neighbors fighting over blocked driveways, one resident attacking a kebab customer with a shovel because the guy who wanted a kebab had the gall to park outside his home. There's a cyclist and a commuter fellow by the name of Alan, who says the illegal parking now in the central city is now almost daily. Cars blocking bus lanes and footpaths, especially along the main north road. And he says the park cars force buses back into the heavy traffic, and that defeats the purpose of the priority lanes. And about 70% of all tows are for parking offenses. What the council does is they find the vehicle, they tow the vehicle to the nearest safe spot, they log it with the police, then they hit it with a fine. For example, 190 for parking in a bus lane. So why is this happening? Why do we have parking wars happening in Central Christchurch?
