They're gonna be so nervous about the quality of the work that's already been done. voice-verified

And you think they're gonna say to you, Oh, looks like you've had a hard year, guys. voice-verified

We'll charge you a special discount. voice-verified

No, they're gonna say, Sorry, you need us more than we need you. voice-verified

Price is up 40% if you voice-verified

want this done. voice-verified

So this is just a mess. voice-verified

And and as you said, the private credit guys, they're not like a big bank. voice-verified

If a big bank had lent to Bathur, and as we said last week, that'll never happen, but if they had, they would just cut a big check, 50 million bucks, and say, get this done. voice-verified

Get this completed so we can start selling these properties off and move on. voice-verified

But there's so many different private credit lenders in here with different property voice-verified

Different projects, different interests, different things at different stages. voice-verified

They can't just get money together quickly to give to the administrator to get this saved. voice-verified

So it's an absolute mess. voice-verified

But Anthony, you wrote a good column about BAFOR this week on the topic of should governments step in and save them. voice-verified

And I just want to bring in a quick question here that we got from Jacqueline in New South Wales, and Jarvis from Victoria had a very similar voice-verified

Question. voice-verified

Jacqueline asks, can I get your views on how you see the bailout for the Tomago aluminium smelter, using taxpayer money for energy security, versus the collapses in the construction industry and the pain to be felt by Bathless staff, contractors, and off-the-plan buyers? voice-verified

Which bailout is worth more in the national interest? voice-verified

Good question, isn't it, James? voice-verified
