And I like selfishly as a former team manager, and he won me over as soon as he walked in by recognizing me as a pair, which I was like, this is amazing.

So for me, it was cool to go, oh, okay.

And even at Melville, even at our local football club, it's like, oh, cool, the concepts that we...

It's all just about connecting people.

Yeah, I think the face of the workforce will look predominantly Māori and Pasifika in that time period as well.

I think by 2040, it'll be around 80%.

So, you know, understanding what these trends look like and then how we can utilise as a country

AI and technology to help that.
