Building, budget was about building a lot of stuff as well.

So infrastructure.

So we're getting things like the new extension to the Cambridge Expressway.

That's going to be great for the economy as well in terms of freight and in terms of efficiencies there.

So that's around about $1.8 billion.

There's rail as well.

And then you've got schools, also very important, but also infrastructure.

about tangible stuff, building actual classrooms.

So I thought that was pretty much a theme permeating things.

The buffer, we've got the war still going.

Well, I suppose we're in a ceasefire at the moment, and hopefully the conflict does end.

But the reality is we're still paying more for our petrol debt.

existing subsidy I think is going to remain in place until 91 goes or 91 petrol goes below three dollars for I think it's four weeks or something like that so we're so we're not there yet and then of course we've got this 450 million buffer as well in case the war does drag on which we don't want to see but lots of interesting things that you think if I if there's there's the bank levy as well

So there's a bit to sort of choose.

There's a few things left out.

KiwiSaver didn't get a big mention at all, really.

Neither did AI.

But, you know, there's probably various reasons around both of those.

So we could sort of drill for it a little bit.

But there's assumptions.
