00:29 spend money which we don't have, have a structural deficit really putting that extra burden on
00:35 children and families for the future. I want to see our priorities focus on that, getting
00:40 economic growth, cutting inflation, we'll hopefully see some more good news on this

01:06 much public service in their background coming forward again to serve our country.
