No, well, the wilding pines was already announced, wasn't it, earlier in the week or over the weekend. Uh off the top of my head, 79 million. I guess uh the cheap cash gas conversion loans uh for processes to reduce gas dependence will have some effect on the primary sector. I see the only real piece of PR I got in my inbox the afternoon, this afternoon, Heather, came from Federated Farmers who welcome the investment in provincial highway resilience. And when they're looking at a couple of roads in particular, one of them is obviously very, very key, and that is the Wiaweka Gorge between uh Gisbon and Apotique, and the other one is State Highway 60 Takaca Hill in Tasman Nelson. Now, both of those areas as we know are pro are prone to flooding and land slips, and the government's found 400 million dollars to tackle drainage, slope stabilization, and rockfall. Look, I mean it's a far cry, Heather, from when I was a kid growing up on a Southland farm. I remember Dad would always uh fill up the petrol tank and the diesel tank on the farm the day before the budget, and he would also whip into the pub, uh probably a good excuse for him and go and load up with beer as well. So the bear and backey budgets are well and truly gone. There wasn't much in this for farmers, nor should they be. As I said to you last week, all they need is a conducive environment in which to do business.
