Were they at the same thing I was at?

Because in fact, this was a really great event or a very great occasion.

But what's reported is this tiny little, you know, petty sort of thing on the side and New Zealanders miss out.

And I don't think that they are afforded the respect or the ability to be given all the information to make their own decisions.

They're

They may still decide not to or to like Christopher, but they're only given a piece of the story.

It's a carefully crafted image that is presented because all the amazing things that are happening and all the good things that are happening are not actually reported.

That message doesn't get through.

And that's why when you meet him, you go, wow, that's

this guy's funny, he's intelligent, he is very knowledgeable, very personable, and you're kind of shocked because what you're led to believe is not the truth.

And I think we don't have any recourse on that.

There's no way of us coming back and saying, hold on, that article was total baloney and you purposely set that up.

We can't do that because it's distracting and we want to continue to focus, well not we, they want to continue to focus on the important things.

So

I think that's probably the biggest problem because I have never met anybody that has met Christopher and hasn't been able to recognize that he is actually genuinely authentic, integral, and super bright.

And he's really here to do the job well.

not for himself.

He's one of the few politicians that it's not about him.

It's about really giving back and doing for New Zealand.

So I think that's, you know, the original question was, why don't they know?
