 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  

 FIREFLY: On television they're saying the HCL will be approved on or before the end of this year.  They're saying the budget investment side also will be revealed before the end of this year.  And all that must happen first before the new 2025 budget can go to parliament in early 2025. 

 FRANK:  Do you have more confidence in me...?  Are you now on my side when I tell you this year not next year?  

FIREFLY:  Yes, we more than understand.
