Yeah, 100%. voice-verified

I mean, Tomago, if you ask me, it's permissible, barely permissible, because you are doing it to sort of prop up the renewables build-out, right? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

You're offering a big customer who can buy the energy to get some new renewables built, which sort of makes it barely permissible. voice-verified

Like I said, Bathler, all you'd be doing would be getting the government to come in and do something, the private sector. voice-verified

Is set up to do. voice-verified

And so you have the government with its big balance sheet. voice-verified

So my balance sheet here, James, is New South Wales we're talking about. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

You'd have a builder with a big balance sheet that's arguably immune to cycles, pumping more demand into the economy at a time when price is going up, so you only feel costs higher. voice-verified

You sort of take that whole cyclicality effect out of the housing, and as sad as it is that you get something like a Bathler collapse, and I mean you voice-verified

Really got to feel for the people who've paid deposits in the pre-sales and are now staring at half-built places and wondering who's going to finish it. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

But if you have an insensitive owner like the government pumping more stimulus into the housing sector at a time when you actually need a shake out, it's not going to work for anyone. voice-verified

And we saw that in the inflation numbers this week. voice-verified

So I mean I really struggle to see how a government bailout of Bathler is the right solution. voice-verified

I really think you've got to leave. voice-verified

It up to the market here. voice-verified
