Gee, I can hardly remember yesterday, let alone last week.
I think the media response was okay.
I mean, you know, any sort of media reaction at the moment's
to depend on what else is going on at the time with with oil prices and things but um yeah yeah it always goes down pretty well people like a like a good set of charts so um it's one of our one of our more popular ones yeah absolutely yeah cool well then let's look at the uh economic data particularly the q4 gdp result which was out last week and yep noting it's a pretty big lag since q4 finished
yeah yeah so well i mean 0.2 pretty i mean undershot the range of expectations in advance was quite wide so um but generally it undershot some expectations i think the rbnz for example had 0.5 percent uh so
you know, generally on the lower side.

I don't fully understand it, but there's technical reasons why this might not genuinely be the number.

So revisions can be made.
So point two might just be a little bit softer than the real economy, the actual result.
So we could see that revised up in due course.
But either way, still a little bit,
a little bit disappointing, I guess.
I mean, farming was a strong contributor.
Construction went backwards again.
So, you know, there is that variability.
It's not like everything's weak.
There are some sectors of the economy doing okay.
