I guess the government's in a bit of a catch-22 at the moment because they like the cash that comes out of those dividends. That's some pretty important part of cash flows. But if you look at the long-term situation here in New Zealand, it's pretty simple when I go to the electricity. Demand's exceeding supply, demand exceeds supply, prices go up. Now, see, you need to restore a little bit of balance into the equation. That comes from restoring supply. One of the mechanisms you use to restore supply is that you allow those SOEs to keep a little bit more money on their balance sheet so that they can invest in infrastructure.
