Steve AshHOST
But in an area like where we just bought, and if we buy that in Brizzy, it's going to be 600 minimum.
Steve AshHOST
And then so to buy four, six, five, like in Auburn, I mean, my old boss at Australian Retirement Trust has a house in Auburn.
Steve AshHOST
So, I mean, he's like, Norm, you're a smart guy.
Steve AshHOST
So there's a lot of upside, but there are a few high rises, but something like this, it's a different market and those high rises.
Tahli CavagninoGUEST
So it's pretty low, and that isn't changing under the proposals, which is also, um, really important.

Owen RaskHOST
Yeah.

Tahli CavagninoGUEST
So pretty simple.
Tahli CavagninoGUEST
And therefore, when we're looking at it in the context of a super fund or even outside, they're very cheap.
Tahli CavagninoGUEST
If we're comparing off the top of my head, ART, their index option is about 0.04% versus the diversified option being, I think it's like 0.7%.
Tahli CavagninoGUEST
So it's very different.
Tim BurrowsHOST
So that was, if I remember rightly, they had, was it Woolworths?
Eleanor DickinsonPANELIST
