1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Crystal Blackson's with us. Very good 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: morning to you. 3 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 2: Good morning Mike. 4 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Now let me up. Are you aware of the Winston 5 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: pulp and paper mills thing in Awakuni. 6 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a where mills under huge pressure with rising 7 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: energy costs across the country. 8 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: Actually, right, how can we run a country and an 9 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: economy far less a couple of mills if we can't 10 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: afford the power bill? 11 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's exactly the reason why we're reversing the 12 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: oil and gas band because the problem that we've got 13 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: is that band was announced in the second and third 14 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: order implications we're considered and we're feeling that right now 15 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: because we don't have enough gas in the country and 16 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: as a result, we need it for a number of 17 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: a boilers, we need it for the mills, we need 18 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: it for a number of places, and we can't get 19 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: enough of it. And so that's why we've got a 20 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 2: gas a play group working together. But frankly, this is 21 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: a consequence of a decision taken by the our journe 22 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: government without thinking through the consequences. We need gas for 23 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: a number of decades as a transitionary source of energy 24 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: before you get to Nirvana with full renewable but as 25 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: a result, without it in the system and with a 26 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 2: shortage of it in the system, electricity and energy prices 27 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,199 Speaker 2: are going up, and for people like pulp and paper 28 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: walls in particular and others, that cause a huge pressure. 29 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: When Shane Jones says last week we were paying the 30 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: most for electricity in the developed world, is he right? 31 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: Look? I think. I mean, I haven't checked every single country, 32 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: so I wouldn't want to say that, but he is 33 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: right in a sense of we've had massive escalation and 34 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: energy prices and that is impacting some of our industrial base. 35 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: Now if you think about Fronterra and others that use boilers, 36 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: if you think about the malls as you have identified, 37 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: you think about schools and hospitals, and we still have 38 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: huge reliance upon gas. We need it, frankly, because if 39 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 2: we're going to be one hundred percent reliable on renewables, 40 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: we make levels are low. When it doesn't you know, 41 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: it's not funny and one doesn't blow, we're going to 42 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: need gas to make sure that we can keep the 43 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: lights on. 44 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: Right. Have you followed at all Northport's desire to expand 45 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: their business and the rejection from the council. His story. 46 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I read that report yesterday and I just say, 47 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: you know, that is a classic case where you need 48 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: fast track one stuff. And I know people want to 49 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: pose us on that, but I'm sorry it is happening 50 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: because that is exactly the situation when you have a 51 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: regional project of significance like that that drives economic activity, 52 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: high paying jobs, or a national project. That's why we 53 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: want people to be able to use that mechanism to 54 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: get those projects delivered and done. So you know, I 55 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: won't go into specifics in the merits whether you know 56 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: they've got a case of fast track or not, but 57 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: you'd look at it and go, when we've got projects 58 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: generating economic activity and jobs, the whole point is that 59 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: shouldn't get blocked up. It should be getting done so 60 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: they can get that benefit into the country quicker. 61 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. So the councils accepted that the expansion plan 62 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: would result in more than a billion dollars worth of 63 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: wider economic activity annually, supporting up for sixteen thousand jobs, 64 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: and yet they still turned it down. 65 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: Yep. And I thought it was on cold eversation, environmental benefits. 66 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: I can't that is insane because essentially we need economic 67 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: activity in this country. We cannot turn off growth and 68 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: we cannot turn off economic development. And that's why we 69 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: want to do this fast track one stop because it 70 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: has got nuts. Obviously, the resource CONSENTI process is doubled, 71 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: the cost has gone through the roof. It takes an 72 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 2: ordinant amount of time to do things in this country 73 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: relative to other countries. And modern reliable infrastructure is one 74 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: of the five ways in which we actually left our 75 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: economic productivity and make me Zeel a more wealthy and 76 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: prosperous place. And so you know the reason we're building 77 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: a flay highway, form a quantupunga day and then to 78 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: be able to create economic opportunity. Those things unlock. Infrastructure 79 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: unlocks all of that exactly. 80 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of Northland, do Transpower oh that region a significant 81 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: amount of money. 82 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: Well, I'll let Simmy and Brown work his way through that. 83 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: But I mean, there wasn't their finest moment. 84 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: What is the government's role in that? If Transpower turned 85 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: out to be a bunch of bastards. 86 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to leave that to Simian. I know he's 87 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: all over it and incredibly frustrated by it. He went 88 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: up and actually saw the situation himself in the first 89 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: day or two, and he'll work it through with them, 90 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: and nor font. 91 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: Have they handled themselves well so far? Transpower and MIXIM well. 92 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: You'd like them to. I would personally, I think you 93 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 2: know when you screw up and when you when you 94 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: make a mistake, I should come out and say so, 95 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: and you should communicate to such quickly and early. There 96 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: probably wasn't as lucid communication at the very beginning, was 97 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: my observation of that. 98 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: Effect all are you selling Keywi Bank? 99 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: No, no, no, We're doing a review into banks in general, 100 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: and we want to make sure that it's competitive and 101 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 2: understand what else we can do to make it more competitive. 102 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: I think we have one of the things to make 103 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: it more competitive be to sell Keywi Bank. 104 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: That's not that's not the topic of discussion. We haven't 105 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 2: had that discussion. What we've talked about is actually opening 106 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: up a banking review both through the Finance Expensi Committee 107 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: and the Primary Production. We are concerned about rural banking practices. 108 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 2: We're concerned about the level of competition and profitability and 109 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: margin with the New Zealand banks. 110 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: So Nicola Willis didn't raise the subject broadly. You'll get 111 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: together in that cold haul over the weekend in any way, 112 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: shape or form. 113 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: She referenced it in her speech, as you well know. 114 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: But again, we're up for anything and everything that includes 115 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: getting more competition to the market. But in fairness, we 116 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 2: need to start at that review with the banks first 117 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: and foremost, and then will work out the best way 118 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 2: to what we'll do after that. 119 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: So in being up for anything and everything that presumably 120 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: means selling key we bank, then doesn't it potential? 121 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 2: Well, the first order of effect is actually to bring 122 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: in the cheers and CEOs of the banks and worked 123 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: out what the hell's going on. I am concerned in 124 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 2: rural banking in particular that they also have been charged 125 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: higher interest rates under some pressure at different times by 126 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: their banks. I'm concerned, you know that I want to 127 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: look at bank profitability and margins relative to other parts 128 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: of the world, and I make sure we've got a 129 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: competitive market and we've also got a fair market. 130 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: Okay, As regards education generally, the eighty four percent opposition 131 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: that ECE regulation changes, which is I think I'm right 132 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: in saying they're sort of act driven. But Erica Stanford 133 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: was on the program yesterday, obviously on this maths business, 134 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: and all I heard from our newsroom were a bunch 135 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: of unionists whining about how it's not you know, we're 136 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: doing fine, et cetera, et cetera. She said, don't we're 137 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: not doing fine? Well, no, exactly, I know we're all 138 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: we I mean, you can't argue with the fact we're 139 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: not doing fine. She said, you don't listen to the unions. 140 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: We've got to stop listening to the unions. Does she 141 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: have a fear point? 142 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: Well, I mean they can criticize us as much as 143 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 2: they want. I mean, we're coming out to we're worried 144 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: about parents, and we're worried about kids, and so no disrespect. 145 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: But when four out of five of our kids are 146 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: not READI coded to do math high school, that is 147 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: a major, major problem. When three out of five of 148 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: them are actually more than a year behind where they 149 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: should be, major major problems. So we are moving heaven 150 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: and earth to make sure we pull that curriculum ford 151 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: a year. We've now got the Teaching Council good on them. 152 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: They've responded to that same data and said, you know, 153 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: we've got to actually put an entry level requirement that 154 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: teachers coming into the system can have a lot called 155 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: form sex or level two maths, which would be good 156 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: because they're not being they ever felt confident to teach 157 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: maths to our kids. We're putting more money into professional 158 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: dealings for the existing teachers. We're doing two years the assessments. 159 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: We've got error in our focus on achievement and earlier 160 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: interventions around schools not achieving academically. So you know, look, 161 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: there's only two things we've got to do with our 162 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: kids at the moment in education, and we might you know, 163 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: we're sacrificing it and we want to push back the 164 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: nice to do stuff. We must do stuff is actually 165 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: teach our kids to read and teach them to do maths, 166 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 2: because how on earth do you get a four lane 167 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: highway from Aukland Finerray with the future generations they can't 168 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: do maths. How do you become the world leading country 169 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: and egre science if we don't have our kids knowing 170 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: how to do maths and to read properly. 171 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: So where I am on my point is that the 172 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: humans are arguing with you. They're saying you're wrong, and 173 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: it's only that you've had my money find it's just 174 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: the same old, same old. 175 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: Look, we are focused on outcomes, and there is no 176 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: way you can say anyone in New Zealand irrespect of 177 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: your politics. And there's not a political issue anymore to 178 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: New Zealand issue. Four out of five kids not ready 179 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 2: to go for maths into high school. And if you're 180 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 2: a thirteen year old and you sharp at high school 181 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: and you do mass like a ten or eleven year old, 182 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: no wonder you don't want to be at school anymore. 183 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: So then it links very quickly into attendance. So you know, 184 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: we're focused on two things achievement maths and reading and 185 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: attendance get kids to school. And if we can just 186 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: do those basics, well, and that may well mean that, yes, 187 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: we're going to defer our arts and music curriculum for now, 188 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: but we're going to focus on doing everything to get 189 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: those jobs done. 190 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: Right. Can you explain how it was you ever expected 191 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: a teacher who couldn't even get NCEEA Level two maths 192 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: to teach maths was going to work? How's that possible? 193 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: Well, well, that's been a challenge because you know, I 194 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: remember looking at the days of a year and a 195 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 2: half ago, forty percent that our teachers teaching year four kids, 196 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: which are nine year olds, don't feel enough, don't have 197 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: confidence to teach maths properly. 198 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: So has the never passed the starting I mean, what 199 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: do you expect? 200 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: It hasn't been a requirement, hasn't been a requirement, and 201 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: now it will be going forward? 202 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're fixing it. I mean this goes 203 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: back to this conversation we keep having every week, which 204 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: is like, I just can't understand the idiocy that's driven 205 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: this country. How do you expect a teacher who can't 206 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: do maths then go along and teach maths. It doesn't work, 207 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: It was never going to It doesn't work. 208 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: It doesn't work. But the point is, I can't wallow 209 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: in the past, Bok. I have to focus on the future. 210 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 2: So I have to deal with the set of facts 211 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: and cards that I've been dealt and I'm trying to 212 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: fix things. And so one of the things we've got 213 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 2: to fix is clearly mathsive reading and education in general. 214 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: So we're being ruthlessly focused on saying we want everybody 215 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: coming to the Ministry of Education, everyone going to school today, 216 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: every parent to be getting their kids to school, to 217 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: focus on reading and mathematics and attendance because those are 218 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: the things that are going to set New Zealand up 219 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: for success, and so have kids up for success. And 220 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: you know, as I keep saying, I'm passionate about education 221 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 2: because I'm a kid who you know, parents have scoro 222 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 2: at fifteen sixteen, I did well because they had a 223 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 2: good education. And I want that for every key WEEKID, 224 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 2: irrespective where they come from, or what background they come 225 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: from or home life. So we've got to do this 226 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: and we've got to be you know, and we're going 227 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: to do it at speed, and we're going to do 228 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: it with ruthless focus and frankly, commentators pundits can say 229 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: what Union can say whatever the hell they want, but 230 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 2: we're to getting this job done. 231 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time.
