Be careful for what you asked for, because actually we had had a simple carbon tax proposal that would have helped address our international obligations and actually helped move to to I guess electrification, it's the the the new word. Um but actually the farmers objected to that and we ended up with an ETS and it's not been a perfect tool. In fact, at times it's been really clumsy, uh, but that's the one that that governments and there have been a few of them have committed to and has produced some of these perverse outcomes in some areas, but ultimately farmers have sold the land to the person who gives them offers them the most. And that's a that's a critical issue for government to intervene on, and and most governments are reluctant to do that.
