00:00Oh, you know, Jono, I just love a state visit. It's fabulous, isn't it?
00:05The pump, the pantry, it's everything.
00:06They've had it out, the characters, the horses, the gold, you name it.
00:10But, you know, have there been any political talks?
00:15You know, we're talking about pomp and ceremony, but it's really about the policy too, right?
