20:20

20:28
How far you can go to explain to people what the likely outcomes of that decision would be is one thing.
20:36
If you frame it as a bad decision, I think already we're in that kinda choppy water.
20:41
And I know you were sort of saying it there to get the question across, but actually, I think that is an important context, right? It's one thing to say, "I really need you to understand that these are the consequences of your decision, and you can make a moral, ethical judgment about whether you accept those consequences." And it's another to say, "That's a terrible decision.
20:59
I don't think you should, should do that." How far you have to go is sort of one of those questions that feels quite tricky to answer from the outside of, of a particular context, but I think it's making sure that you are satisfied that you've communicated risk in a way, but not over-egging it.

From a legal point of view, what did you think of the Fourth Valley?

Are you looking forward to Dan paying you in excess of $12 a kilogram for your lamb and maybe about $10.50 for your beef in the coming season? He's just about fallen off his chair, but am I being unrealistic,

Anna? No, Jamie, I'm really looking forward to that.
32:31
Look, we're aspiring to be really continuing the positive trajectory.
32:37
We understand that all our farmers need meat.
32:41
that profitability to be there.
32:42
We're all facing into rising costs.
32:44
So, yep, it's really good to have the bars set at that level and to be looking to meet it.
34:41
Have we stemmed the bleeding?

We've heard a lot this morning about what's going on in the world around us, geopolitical risk.
3:52
But do you think we've stopped the bleeding in terms of livestock numbers because we had that terrible period and I think I honestly believe that we'll look back in history and go what a mistake this carbon farming is but we lost so much good land pastoral land to trees that shouldn't have been there have we stemmed the bleeding?
