And a closing word, Hodgie, on Neil Danaher and the profound example he's given us as a leader.

I think if you talk about leaders, it's their mindset or their want to make other people happy, to do things for other people. And I think there's, people can talk about his football stuff and what he was like at a football club, but To see his mindset, to see what he was able to do with the fight MND, and it wasn't about him. I think that's what shows true courage and the mindset of him.

He was doing what he did to help people in the future for whoever gets this disease and trying to find a cure to beat it. So I think if anything sums up a leader, anyone sums up a selfless mindset...

It's what Neil did. And for him to be honoured with Australian of the Year before his passing was unbelievable that he was actually there to enjoy it. He was able to do it with his family as well, considering what they've been able to do over the last 10 to 12 years has been amazing.

There's a lot to reflect upon on that front this morning. So we'll do that from 11 and Chris Fagan is going to join me then. Hodgie, terrific. Thank you. Thank you, Gerard.
