You know, there's not a lot of difference between Wellington water at the moment and Jackie Wai. The difference is that Jackie Wai, the new entity, is going to own the assets, whereas at the moment Wellington water really just sort of manages them. But actually that's the main thing. The main thing people want is to know the water is flowing through the pipes into the houses and the wastewater is flowing away from the houses. That's the job of Wellington water. That'll be the primary job of Jackie Wai. So to be honest, it's a little bit disappointing to see it. I think the thing is that they're going out to consult over their sort of future pricing and they're saying, you know, they're under huge cost pressure. Well, and then you see the cost that they've imposed on themselves. So I was frankly just disappointed to see it.
