It is hugely impactful. However much you try to make it not impact the family, and we all do, and I desperately try to protect Vic and the kids, there's no doubting it has an impact on them.

I think the tide is turning, has turned, and I'm sure they will go on and win this.

I'm absolutely confident when I say our support will not waver. And we'll see that in the coming weeks.
