Now listen, gum 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: Boot Friday, is this a stitung. 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: No, this is about us making sure that we get 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 2: some good work done and we put more power to it. 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: And that's why we've been proud to support them, because 8 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: it's about Kiyi's dealing with the young young ky is 9 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,319 Speaker 2: dealing with their mental health. We're going to have an 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 2: extra fifteen thousand counseling sessions for those young Kiwi's, which 11 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: who desperately needed at a pretty desperate time. So look, 12 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: it's a great organization. I'm proud that we're supporting them. 13 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: Why did the Order to General say what the Order 14 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: to General said? 15 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: Oh look, I mean they're an independent role, they're entitled 16 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: to their views. But look, we campaigned on this. We 17 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: then said, we said what we did, we're going to do. 18 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 2: We did it, and I'm proud that we have. So 19 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: you know, it's good that they look at the process 20 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: and they can raise their raise their advice on it. 21 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 2: But the bottom liners, we're doing it. We're backing a gun, 22 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: big Friday. They do great work and fifteen thousand young 23 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: chemis get counseling. 24 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: So you're arguing, basically, we're the government, will do what 25 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: we want. Bugger the process and he can write all 26 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: the reports he wants. You're not paying attention in this 27 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: particular cost. 28 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that, you know, 29 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: Gunboat Friday we talked about in the campaign as being 30 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,199 Speaker 2: a great example of a community organization doing good work 31 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: that could be scaled more and unique work. Actually, and 32 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 2: I spoke to a number of young people, you know, 33 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: and we put the money into that organization. It was 34 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: also something that you saily first wanted to do both 35 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: both parties, and I'm pleased that we are because I'm 36 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: getting access to county. 37 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: I defend your right to do it because you're the government. 38 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: But Matt Doucy did he throws officials under the bus 39 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: when he said, and I quote, Throughout the process, the 40 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: Minister has sought and received assurances from officials that the 41 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: implementation option chosen by the Ministry of Health is compliant 42 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: with government procedural rules. That simply isn't true. 43 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: Oh well, look, I think you know it was unusual 44 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: in the sense of we had campaigned on it. We 45 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: believe it's a great organization. We think it's a good 46 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: investment in young people, and you know, the new Order 47 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: to General can write their report, can say that there's 48 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: some things that they think we could do better, but 49 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: the bottom line is it's a good organization. We're backing up. 50 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: What are the odds of you stepping into Wellington Council? 51 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 2: Well, we're pretty concerned about it. If I'm honest, it 52 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: doesn't look great. Their long term plan looks at risk. 53 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 2: It's something we're monitoring really closely. I know some of them, 54 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: Brown in particular, is all over it, and we'll continue 55 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: to monitor it and if we have to make an intervention, 56 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: we will. 57 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: What would have to happen for you to move well. 58 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: I think we want to understand, you know. I know 59 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: he'll be looking very closely at the long term plan, 60 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: which is at risk under the failure to be able 61 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: to sell the airport. She is willing to the airport 62 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: and he'll want a pathway and to make sure that 63 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 2: they're doing everything they can to be financially responsible to 64 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 2: keep rates as low as possible. 65 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Can I quote you the Solicitor General in their advice 66 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: to the prosecution service at the Police. The guidelines asked 67 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: prosecutors to think carefully about particular decisions. We're a person, 68 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: whether the victim or defend it is MARII what does 69 00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: that mean? 70 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: Well, I mean what I'd say is that prosecution decisions 71 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: should be color blind. But also the prosecution guidelines are 72 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: independently issued by this list of general. They are someone 73 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: you know and I really can't get You should ask her, 74 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: But I mean, I can't really get into it because 75 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: I've got to respect the other elements of our democracy, 76 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: the judiciary, and I've got to focus on what I 77 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: can control, and what we are controlling is restoring law 78 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 2: and order. 79 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: I thought you controlled whether we had race based policy 80 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: in this country. 81 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: Well, we made a decision very clear. What we have 82 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: controlled as tough new gang laws. We've limited, you know, 83 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: sentencing discounts. We've actually stopped the cottage industry around the 84 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: preparation of Section twenty seven cultural reports, and you know, 85 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: we've got. 86 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: A very race prosecution decision should be with race. That's 87 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: more justice is the Solicitor general thumbing who knows that you. 88 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: Well, again, I mean it's an independent role. I encourage 89 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: you to ask those questions to her. I really you've 90 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: got to can't get into it because I've got to 91 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: respect the. 92 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: But here's my problem. I'm listening to you as a 93 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: government who I thought was running the country with a 94 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: series of fairly clear objectives around race, and you say 95 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: one thing and another thing is done, and I don't 96 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: understand that. 97 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: Well, again, what I can do is we can focus 98 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: on what we can control, which is the executive. 99 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Saying, by the way, what we would like to do 100 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: in this country is have non race based policies. But 101 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure we'll be able to because I'm expecting 102 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: pushback from the public service or independent bodies. 103 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: Well, I think we've had good support from much of 104 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: the public service. I appreciate not everyone's on board of 105 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 2: what we're trying to do, but the reality is the 106 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 2: vast majority have and they've been actually supporting us getting 107 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: our gender. 108 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: Out the door. 109 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: I think when you look at those new gangals, that's 110 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: going to help us cut down on violent crime. When 111 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: you look at the stop in the section twenty seven 112 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: College reports, with Harry, Tam and Coe preparing them, we've 113 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: stopped that. We're putting limits on judges and senencing discounts. 114 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 2: You still always be a need for people to consider 115 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: their individual cases and make the case to judges. But 116 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: you know, we would expect you know that these guidelines 117 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: actually are designed to make sure there's good outcomes for 118 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: people irrespective theirs, ethnicity, and frankly, prosecution should be as 119 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: I said, color lines. 120 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: So do you know that's important? Do you know who 121 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: Anaya Tanu Nai is? 122 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: No idea. 123 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: These were a group of people that were consulted by 124 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: the Solicitor General. They arrived in twenty eighteen as a 125 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: result of Andrew Little's Justice Summit and they had a 126 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: meeting and they want to recognize the justice system as 127 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: settler colonial and to begin decolonizing the brackets in justice system. 128 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: Those are the people who are advising the Solicitor General 129 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: before she writes to the Police Prosecution Service. Does that 130 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: worry you. 131 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's just not a view that I 132 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 2: would hold. I mean, I think we've got a justice 133 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: system that it needs to make sure that it prosecutes 134 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: people in a color bline way. And actually we don't 135 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: actually get well, well, we need to, I mean that's yeah, 136 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: but we don't of it well I'm not sure I 137 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: agree with that. I appreciate there's prosecution guidelines independently prepared 138 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: by an independence listed general and a branch of democracy 139 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: that I have to respect, and I can't get into 140 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: per se. But what I can do is make sure 141 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: that because you know, they want to make sure prosecution 142 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: scitions are made free from political influence. I get that, 143 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 2: you know that's part of our democracy. 144 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: Well you want to how is it you're so keen 145 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: to adhere to the political but not to the race. 146 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: So you don't want to get you some self in 147 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: trouble for political but you don't mind getting yourself in 148 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: trouble for race. Well, I mean you can't avoid these instructions. 149 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: I mean they're explicit to recognize the justice system is 150 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: settler colonial and to begin decolonizing the injustice completely. 151 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 2: I don't don't agree that that is a reflection of 152 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: what our justice. 153 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: But that's in the letter is received by the Prosecution 154 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: Service of this. 155 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: Country, and that's list of generals, an independent position and 156 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: a part of our democracy that I have to respect. 157 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: And so the question is what I can control is 158 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: actually making sure that we pass as a parliament as 159 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: executive laws that make it really clear. Getting ready Section 160 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: twenty seven reports in that cottage industry is important. Making 161 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: sure judges can put you know, we put limits on 162 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: their sentence and discounts is important. Making sure we get 163 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: tough new gang laws as great, to get down on 164 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 2: violent crime, serious and offenders, on retail crime. Those are 165 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: the things that I can control and I think by 166 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: a larger justices and will deliver well. 167 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: Okay, fast Track trans Tandsman Resources, who are one of 168 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: the people on the short list, claimed they can earn 169 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: a billion dollars a year. I'm assuming and making the 170 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: claim of a billion dollars a year. When the committee 171 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: looked at the fast Track they went, jeez, that looks good. 172 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: I'll put them on the list. Once they got on 173 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: the list, they've said that doesn't count anymore. Are you 174 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: in trouble with this, No, not at all. 175 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: I mean, we've got to grow this country, and we 176 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: know we've got to get things done, and we've got 177 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: to be open to economic growth, and so our expert 178 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: panels will go through the process making sure that they 179 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: are and you know that they're considering a whole bunch 180 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: of things. Of the economic impacts, the environmental impacts. But importantly, 181 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: we are prioritizing development and growth. You know, we want 182 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: to have a high growth country and for that you've 183 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: got to say yes to stuff. 184 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: And when you do, you say, there who clearly made 185 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: it up? 186 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not sure that would be the case if. 187 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: I claim I'm making a billion dollars and then two 188 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: days after I'm on the shortlist, I claim I'm not 189 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: going to make a billion dollars. Did I make it up? 190 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: Or did I make just a bit of a whoosie? 191 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: But oh well, never mind, I'm on the shortlist. 192 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: Well, well, Mike, I'm not going to go into the 193 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: individual cases that are in those fast tracks, but what 194 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: I can tell you is, you know we. 195 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: The job of the expert panel. 196 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the job of the expert panel. No, No, 197 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: I'm not saying I don't think they have I mean 198 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: they will make their assessment as to whether that's like. 199 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: Well what do they make the just have national knowledge 200 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: or something that was made up. 201 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: Betweening on whether they have a project of regional or 202 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: national significance as you know under the fast tracked laws, 203 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: and what I make no apology for that. I appreciate 204 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 2: there'll be controversial product project projects in there. And that's 205 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: not a bad thing because I'm interested in actually getting 206 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: things moving and things growing. We want to have higher 207 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: value growth here in New Zealand. You know, we look 208 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: at other places that are growing quicker. They got rapidly 209 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: rising wages relative to our performances. We've got to get 210 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: things unlocked in agreement. All. 211 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: All of that's good stuff, but in usurping. As your 212 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: critics will tell you, some of the laws are indeed 213 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: not changing the wall so you can fast track. So 214 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: the scrutiny, isn't there One of the first companies involved 215 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: in the short list has been found wanting This opens 216 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: you up to criticism, doesn't it. 217 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: Well, again, that's a decision for the expert panel to 218 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: make about their assessment of that. 219 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: Each end. The expert panel aren't that expert after all, 220 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: and they keep making mistakes like this, and you've got 221 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: to defeend them on programs like this, and you'll be 222 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: putting down the phone in a minute and going bloody. 223 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: Hell, no, Mike, I never do that. I never do 224 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: that on the phone, and go bloody, I'll have to 225 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: talk to you. But no, look, I mean the reality 226 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: is that there will be controversial projects. There'll be a 227 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: lot of people who won't like a bunch of projects 228 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 2: on that list, but we're going to do them because actually, 229 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: I think the feedback's been pretty good. People understand that 230 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: we've got to get things done. When you think about 231 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: fifty five thousand houses getting built, when you think about 232 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: thirty percent more growth and electricity generation of our current capacity, 233 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: that's good. When you think about one hundred and eighty 234 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 2: k's of new roads coming down, that's great. So look, 235 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: there'll be controversy on a number of projects. You know, 236 00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: we've got an expert panel to go through the individual 237 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: is case by case, and then we need to get going. 238 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time.
