00:00If you want to help someone, listen to them because they're going through it and that's
00:05where we've seen a lot of really smart thinking, things that we wouldn't think about of a certain
00:11generation, young people are seeing, and especially what doesn't work, that's really important.
00:17What's changed is that we've put laws into place that weren't there, Ronan's Law for
00:21example. There's definitely more work to be done. I think His Majesty was definitely encouraged
