Well, in the case of Genesis, we already do have that arrangement.
49% of the investment in Genesis is on the private market.
Well, in KiwiBank's case, it's quite different.
100% of the capital coming from the government.
And I don't think that that's necessarily the best way to grow it because governments are always constrained in what they can invest in.
And there's a conga line of investors saying, hey, I want to help KiwiBank grow that, so that's a good little thing.
Because he's listening to New Zealanders.
What's he listening to?
No, he's listening to people who are saying, look, I get immigration.
In fact, most of us have family members, friends who were born overseas.
That's very much the New Zealand experience.
Many of us have colleagues or employees whose great skills were brought to the country from offshore.
But we're listening to New Zealanders who say, well, let's make sure that immigration keeps working for us.
that we're not just bringing in people because businesses don't want to hire Kiwis.
We should always make sure our employment policies focus on Kiwis, that actually getting young people into work, getting people off benefits is a priority.
And that means immigration policy does need to be targeted.
It does need to be careful.
Let's not go down the path that Europe and the UK did, because look at all the problems that has created for those communities.
We don't have that problem and long may it stay the case.
And I think what you're hearing from the Prime Minister is that he thinks that that is an important control that New Zealand has and that we should hold on to it.
