in the world.

I find where we see ourselves here in New Zealand, but with what's happening around the world, I find it really upsetting and it's a really troubling time.

And if I don't speak out, if I don't march in the street,

what is the point of being here?

Do you know what I mean?

I think that, you know, that I don't, if we can't sort of collectively go, hey, some pretty bad stuff's happening right now, are we just going to be apathetic to it and just make it someone else's problem?

Or do we actually fight?

And I, you know, coupled with, you know, like I literally said to mum this morning, I said, gosh, I've had about,

Probably a week.

I've probably had a week where I've... And what a privilege to be able to do this, by the way.

I've had a week where I've switched off.

I've not consumed anything about...

The badness of the world.

Of everywhere.

The dis-peace of the globe.

And what a difference that makes to your mental health.

But the reason I think that it is important to pick your time.

Like we have to stay focused and alert with what's happening.

But it is a heavy time.

And I always say you've got to be ready and in good peak physical and mental condition to fight.
