No, no, no, not at all. It's just more that it's a state-to-state issue between New Zealand and China. So primarily the responsibility sits with me. The way the question was being worded was you know, Australia's going to go in and sort it out for us. Well, we'd we no no, we're we're quite capable of sorting that out. But we're very appreciative of the of them actually raising their own concerns about the issue as well. And we do that as well, just so you know, there'll often be things that happen in the UK and we will join uh with formal statements of support uh and and talk about that publicly. Look, I mean, on the on the MP ban, I mean it's it's it's it's um I mean, first and foremost, they're MPs, so they're in what's called the legislature branch of government, not the executive branch. They should be free to go wherever they want to. Uh there's been a long-standing practice of going to Taiwan and seeing who you want to see there. Um as a result, and we haven't changed our one China policy. We continue to you know observe it and and and and um work through that. Uh so there's been no change. So it was just uh uh just you know, for us it's an inappropriate response. That's why we raised it with the Chinese. They clearly have a view that um we're not going to find an agreement or common ground.
