Well, I do think so. So I believe that if you are of the view that you should take taxpayer money or borrowed money, which is what what these things are, and invest that money into businesses, you know, in order to keep the returns in New Zealand. That's what they both believe. If you believe that, why not get the Superfund and ACC? They have huge uh multi, you know, billions and billions of dollars invested, huge portfolios. Why not get them to invest a small portion of their massive portfolios in New Zealand businesses? So the government could give them a direction and say maybe a certain percentage, or just give them some sort of guidance and say, actually, we'd like a bit more of your money to go back into New Zealand. Now, you know, I believe that way you would be leaving the investment decisions in the hands of the experts. They're very good at the Superfund and ACC, and would take the the politics out of it. Um, you know, just an idea. Maybe not quite as sort of complicated or sexy as the ones that the two parties have put on the table.
