He and Rick Kane worked together on the 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 2: Ti Golf Course development. You could develop a beautiful golf 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 2: course there. You could get Toko Morgan to build one 15 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 2: of his hotels. Opportunities for employment for young people. It's 16 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: not a new idea.

When you set up 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: a group like this, are they supposed to have some meetings? 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Er very now and again report back to a minister 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: and say we had a meeting and they said this, 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: and so you say that is that what happens? 27 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? But these guys, I mean, I've had four years 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: of just talking incessantly that I've achieved nothing.

I just boot them down. 30 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: And as he hemota, I mean, was that's a good 31 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: example of politics, isn't it? Basically? I mean, was it 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: ever the issue it needed to be? 33 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: No?
