What do I want to do?

And getting a mix of them.

Where it's interesting, because I do think this is one of those moments for politicians and for the politicians where it's not really going to benefit this year.

It's not going to benefit next year.

It's in five and 10 years time when these things start to mature, that there's going to be more money.

Think about it.

If you had to put the seven euro in a bank account, you'd have 850 in 20 years time.

But if you've got a worst case scenario, you're looking at kind of average average case or 29 euros, what you would have ended up with.

So there'll be more money in the economy because our money will be working harder for us.

So it's a real long-term game here.

But ultimately, I think it will benefit the economy in that way.

There was a thing in the UK at one stage which I found interesting.

I remember I was with a cabbie when I was in the UK.

I was in London.

I was in the back of a taxi.

And it was announced, oh, we're introducing the infrastructure fund, right?

And basically what they were trying to do was, over there, they were trying to encourage people's pensions to move into a fund that was going to be used to build infrastructure around the UK.

And I said to the cabbie, what do you think of that?

And he said, if it was worth doing, they'd use their own money, right?

And I thought that was kind of, yeah, OK, I'm with you.
