Have unique and different challenges.  And and kids can have the same diagnosis but have very, very different needs.  So it's really about trying to keep them safe, but but these orders would then...  So, basically, they have to check-in with the courts, let's say, every fortnight or whatever whatever is ordered, essentially.  But there is that mechanism to be able to say, okay. 

How are you going?  Because I think another thing that was raised is that these children aren't often given praise when they're on the right track.  So so they're constantly butting up against the system that's saying, you've done a bad, wrong thing.  This is what's gonna happen to you.  But actually giving that ability to also bring the best that, you know, fantastic. 

You've you've really engaged well in all of the programs that...  You know, we're really proud of you.  You're on the right track.  You know, you've you've you started your year 10 studies or whatever it might be.  The ability as well then for the court system to not quite be so penal in terms of how it's... 

And that's that's another...  But, miss Anthony, listen to what you were saying.  Is it possible perhaps to even make that bespoke again where you could have what you're doing but have medical services attached to it for the kids.  So not just elders, but you could have psychologists, occupational therapists, speech therapists A 100 tutors.
