00:00How complex this whole subject is and I can just echo that I'm sure some of your
00:15journey and everybody's journey we've been doing this for five six years now
00:18and we we didn't know what we didn't know when we started and we've learned a
00:23huge amount along the way and it's taken us to places that we never even
00:27anticipated or expected to be going towards and I think it is really
00:32complicated I think it's really difficult to communicate to the general
00:37public and externally in a further field that level of complexity and it's also
00:44really difficult to bring it back down to bite-sized chunks and I think we're
00:48all learning as we go and and so maybe being a bit more optimistic that the
00:56whole the islands come through I was really excited with the government plan
00:59when they put it out three years ago whenever it was I'm really disappointed
01:03at the lack of sustainable progress that is apparent from that but maybe that
01:08will change as the government itself becomes clearer about the complexity and
01:13is able to start to direct some focus on some key areas certainly I
01:18believe we've got to continue to drive in that direction and maybe the
01:23biosphere does become a real galvanizing point for that so that it
01:26becomes not about government but about about the the island and nation as a
01:31whole I don't know but it has been a journey that has taken many twists and
01:37turns and you start not knowing anything and you have to figure it out and that
01:44that does take a lot of time
