00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,472
Perhaps it's the New Zealand
media contingent that you

2
00:00:02,472 --> 00:00:06,372
should ask who's in the room.
You know, I think for us, it

3
00:00:06,372 --> 00:00:11,232
was a way of demonstrating what
it looks like when you move

4
00:00:11,232 --> 00:00:15,852
just beyond measures like GDP
and so, when we were making our

5
00:00:15,852 --> 00:00:18,612
decisions around how we
allocated the country's

6
00:00:18,612 --> 00:00:22,152
resources, when you start
looking beyond simple cost

7
00:00:22,152 --> 00:00:26,412
benefit analysis and actually
look at the cost benefit across

8
00:00:26,412 --> 00:00:29,652
human potential, then, you
start making record investments

9
00:00:29,652 --> 00:00:34,312
and things like homelessness
and mental health and combating

10
00:00:34,312 --> 00:00:37,492
domestic violence and sexual
violence. When we just applied

11
00:00:37,492 --> 00:00:40,732
an equation that looked at
well-being and environmental

12
00:00:40,732 --> 00:00:43,312
well-being, then, those are the
natural outcomes. Those are the

13
00:00:43,312 --> 00:00:46,072
natural decisions you made.
Would you consider bracelets

14
00:00:46,072 --> 00:00:49,012
for people in self isolation?
It was the first for us and

15
00:00:49,012 --> 00:00:52,552
we'll keep doing it but I do
hope that other countries look

16
00:00:52,552 --> 00:00:56,112
to it as a potential model.
