Unless it's just what was the cost in a financial year. If you want to go below that.
Just the cost in the financial cost.
Couldn't we do ages?
So operation what I've got here is operation ages. Community protection and removals. And so what so shall we start in this year? We'll start this year and work backwards. Is that what you're interested in? So that was a cost of $5,418,000 this year to August year to date. In the full year 25-26, that was $31,586,000. In the pre 24-25, that's $23,186.
Yes.
And in 23-24 that was $6,500 for a total 66,691,000?
Okay. Do we have any figures related to community protection board administration and other resourcing?
So that was a combined figure including community protection board.
But I can, if it's included, that's fine.
I can split out the community protection board.
No, there's no need. That's all right. And are there any other figures related to other home affairs or ABF staff and resourcing in that overall figure? The 252, is there an element that relates to other staffing?
Yes. So the I mean so that we have uh costs across uh legal as well. Um there is various support costs as well.
Well, okay, how about we do legal then?
Um legal costs were um so we if we just go to the total 252.6 million, that's made up of legal costs, which is 47,710,000.
Okay.
Um you've got something uh what else have we got? So we've got um including the operation age as costs before, but uh uh costs that could um under cohort management that's 101,822?
