So it's the board and Invest New Zealand themselves.

They're an autonomous agency, but they haven't scrapped the roadshows.

They've just done a bit of analysis and decided the four people they had working overseas, they could service it much better in a different way.

There will still be roadshows.

In fact, in the US, we're seeing...

a great numbers of AIP visa applicants coming from there.

Very few of them come through the workshops, it seems.

So what they're going to do is work with New Zealand Trade Enterprise, who have more offices over there.

And they're starting to have a dedicated, experienced team in New Zealand that will go out and do much more of the work from there.

So it reduces costs a bit, but it means they can sort of recycle the money and apply it more beneficially.

Yeah, that's exactly right.

So, I mean, the people that were doing the job in the US probably were doing a very good job.

Don't know them personally.

But, you know, the cost was possibly 10% of Invest New Zealand's budget.

We can use that much, much better.

We're not going to have a big team of people all over the world and flash offices.

We're going to have a dedicated team here who get on a plane and go out and meet investors.

And, you know, bring them back here for the deals.

You know, very, very focused, very experienced people.

In the AIP, though, these golden visas, though, they are working well.
