So they've got one more to go, one more result to come in, but they think he's probably going to win that as well.

So he's gone from minority to majority.

He stood up to Trump and won.

I just contrast this with what's happened to Orban, of course, in Hungary in the last 48 hours.

It seems if you're not associated with Trump now, there are dividends to be paid.

22.

Big fire at BYD's Pinching Park campus in Shenzhen overnight.

No casualties, no injuries.

Didn't affect production of operations, but a massive fire and a lot's been destroyed there, which is interesting because I was noting yesterday the fire north of Auckland at the very flash golf course, the Tauraiti golf course that burnt down the restaurant there.

The suggestion was that the cart, there was a delivery cart, golf cart,

Lithium battery.

Once it goes, it's hot.

You know how that goes.

By the way, just quickly back to the Delta Airlines thing on oil.

So Qantas yesterday announced, and this is the interesting interface between what's going on in the world at the moment and the sort of pressure that must be on Trump to do something about this.

So the Europeans are talking about this material shortage issue.

of jet fuel there coming summer and yes you can cancel flights and yes it doesn't really affect anybody because most major airlines run a series of flights that aren't particularly full they can kill those fairly quickly and just pack everybody else into the remaining flights so not the end of the world but the fuel expenses for Qantas was announced yesterday have gone up 800 million dollars that's not the bill that's how much it's gone up by

to somewhere between $3.1 and $3.3 billion just for the fuel.

So they're redeploying big craft on the North American routes and they're getting them into Europe because, of course, no one can fly through the Middle East at the moment.

So that must be killing them, which is why I'm optimistic about New Zealand tourism and to a degree Air New Zealand.
