It was a bizarre 54 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: moment on field Bulgaria's first league. They held a few 55 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: minutes silence. All the players stood around one of Arda's players, 56 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: Petko Gangshev's's name, after they received some wrong information about 57 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: his death. Now Ganzeb has detailed what it was like 58 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: for him. He said he and his wife never miss 59 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: a game, but he was late coming home for the 60 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: game by about ten minutes. He said his phone started 61 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: blowing up as he was close to home, but he 62 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: doesn't pick it up while he's driving, of course, so 63 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 2: he gets home. His wife is in tears as the 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: team have wrung her to say, they'll be holding a 65 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: minute's silence. There he is pulling into the driveway. The 66 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: guy was not dead. While it was very stressful, he 67 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: did say he enjoyed the brandy that he bought himself 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: that night, more than he usually picked. They still haven't 69 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: explained in that story why they thought he was dead 70 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: and what kind of confirmation process was there to go through. 71 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 9: Well, when Mike didn't gime in this winning, I assumed 72 00:03:59,040 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 9: he was dead. 73 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: Now for those listening, you will be it's okay. Mike 74 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: is okay, but he's just unwell today. So I've been 75 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: given the last minute call up. It's posting, not hosking. Actually, 76 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: thank you, Glenn cryan Bridge better. Eleven minutes after six. 77 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 2: We've got some numbers out today from the Ministry of Justice. 78 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: So the number of people charged has increased in the 79 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: last year, which you won't be surprised to hear because 80 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 2: we have a change of government and they've got a 81 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: whole new agenda. Right. So the numbers are sixty seven thousand, 82 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety nine people were charged in twenty 83 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: twenty four. If you look at it on a per 84 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: ten thousand basis, which is a good way to compare. 85 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: We had it one hundred and forty three per ten thousand. 86 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: Now that is up on one hundred and thirty eight 87 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty three, but it's actually still down. It 88 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: was one hundred and sixty four pre COVID. So yes, 89 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 2: we are charging more people, but we are not yet 90 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: back to pre COVID levels. It's a little bit like tourism. 91 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: And clearly if we've learned a lesson here, I think 92 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: we have. If you don't prosecute, climate doesn't just magically disappear, 93 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: it gets worse. So clearly there's a little bit of 94 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: work for our justice system to do there. Twelve minutes 95 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: after six, we'll have more on that after seven This 96 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: Morning News TALKSZB Greg Smith with the Money, Next. 97 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 98 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: by News TALKSB. 99 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: Six or fourteen News Talk ZVB. Trump's just posted on 100 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: his Truth social platform He's had a call with Zelensky. 101 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: So obviously yesterday it was a call with Potin today 102 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: a call with Zelenski. He says, just got off the phone, 103 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: A very good telephone call with Zelenski. It lasted approximately 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: one hour much of the discussion was based on the 105 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: call that I made with Poutin to align both Russia 106 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: and Ukraine. He said he's going to get it his 107 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: officials to put out a proper statement later on. So 108 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: basically no real update other than he's agreed with Poutin 109 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: to a partial ceasefire that already hasn't happened. It's called 110 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: a past six. Greg Smith, Devon Fund Management or US 111 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: this morning. Great, good morning to you morning, Ryan. Now, 112 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: the current account deficit narrowing got to be a good thing. Yeah, 113 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: that's a good thing. 114 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 10: And of course we're waiting those quarterly GDP numbers today. 115 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 10: So if you look at the current account deficit, that's 116 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 10: five point nine billion dollars in the December quarter, and 117 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 10: that's down four to seventy five million from September. So 118 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 10: a couple of tailwinds to the improvements there. So increased exports, 119 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 10: both of goods but also services. 120 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: So you've got services exports. 121 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 10: They are up by almost seven hundred million, and a 122 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 10: lot of this runs due to spending by overseas visitors. 123 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 10: That was some four hundred million that had increased by 124 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 10: so yeah, while the number of tourists coming into the 125 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 10: country isn't quite back at pre COVID levels. What they're 126 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 10: spending is and it's actually exceeded that. So you can 127 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 10: say inflation's helping a bit more, spending a bit more overseas. 128 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 10: But this is really positive. Also in terms of goods exports. 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: That the quarterly. 130 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 10: Deficit there that narrowed by one hundred million to one 131 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 10: point seven billion. Goods exports up by six hundred and 132 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 10: sixty nine million to eightien point four billion, and no surprise, 133 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 10: what's driving us. It's our egg re sector, so dairy's 134 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 10: doing well. Exports of milk, powder, butter and cheese also 135 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 10: meats driving that increase as well. On the other side, yeah, 136 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 10: we are still importing a lot of stuff, so that 137 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 10: increase by filling an eighty million as well to twenty 138 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 10: point one billion, but overall really encouraging Ryan. So it's 139 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 10: taken our annual current account deficit to twenty six point 140 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 10: four billion, and that's around six point two percent of GDP, 141 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 10: but still around seven hundred million down from where. 142 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: It was in September. 143 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 10: So we're still spending more than we am We've been 144 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 10: doing that for many, many years. 145 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: But look, the train is our friend. 146 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 10: In this case, and a lo of deficite means we 147 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 10: don't have to borrow as much, so that should. 148 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: Alleviate some concerns around our debt rating. Now, gold it's 149 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: been having a bit of a moment over the last 150 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: week while it's hit a record US three thousand an ounce. 151 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: Also silver has been doing well. Silver has been doing 152 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: even better, and presumably this is all the volatility people 153 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: pile into the safer Yeah, that's right. 154 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 10: So the precious metals are seen as safe haven, so 155 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 10: both against geopolitical tensions but also against inflation and uncertainties, 156 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 10: and we've got plenty of everything. They're abounding at the moment. 157 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 10: So you look at the geopolitical side and you talk 158 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 10: about Zelenskin and hopefully we are getting close to a 159 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 10: deal piece still in Ukraine, but we've got tensions going 160 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 10: on escalating in the Middle East. Was also got investors 161 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 10: worried about the economics slow down or see Trump's tariffs 162 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 10: and how that factors into inflation. So yes, has been 163 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 10: good for gold. That's been seen as a store of 164 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 10: value for centuries. You know, even though the use of 165 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 10: banded it as a gold standard back in the seventies. 166 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 10: There's also a notion that's a limited amount in the ground, 167 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 10: but also maybe a limit concerns about how much is 168 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 10: actually above the grounds. There's been all these conspiracy theories 169 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 10: about whether the gold and Fort Knox is actually there. 170 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 10: And Elon has raised us recently. He's pretty amazed that 171 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 10: there's not regular audits. And Trump said his confidence all there, 172 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 10: but he'd be pretty angry if it's not. And just 173 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 10: a fun fact also on that the US Treasury gold 174 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 10: they actually valued on their balance sheet at around forty 175 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 10: US and ounce. Now the prossims is three thousands. They 176 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 10: get a huge windfall if they revel that around about 177 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 10: eight hundred million dollars. The time will tell there. And yeah, 178 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 10: as you mentioned gold stealing all the limelight. But yeah, 179 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 10: silver's up seventeen percent this year. Thirty four bucks an 180 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 10: ounced has similar sorts of safe haven attributes rhyme, but 181 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 10: it also has much higher industrial uses. So when you 182 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 10: look at the energy transitions, it's around about twenty five 183 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 10: to fifty grams of silver in the every GV. So yeah, 184 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 10: that's where a lot of demand is coming from as well. 185 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 10: And also the physical market is also facing a bit 186 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 10: of stress amid what Trump is doing. The US imports 187 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 10: seventy percent of its silver from you yest It, Canada 188 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 10: and Mexico. So yeah, high host silver's. 189 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: Fascinating, isn't it. Basically gold, silver, European shares. These are 190 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: the things you wanted to buy in twenty twenty five. 191 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: The Bank of Japan has decided to leave rates on hold. 192 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: They're just holding steady a bit of a weight and 193 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 2: see on the tariffs. 194 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right. So I think it's going to be 195 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 10: a bit of a theme here. So we've got the 196 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 10: bit of the Banker of England to not We've got 197 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 10: the feed at around about seven am our time, so 198 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 10: Bankagevan's a little bit different. They've been increased rates at 199 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 10: their last meet. They're trying to sort of encourage inflation 200 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 10: rather than sort of stamp it out the battle with deflation. 201 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 10: But yeah, similar move in terms of that. They're leaving 202 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 10: things on hold for now. They want to see how 203 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 10: the tariff sort of front all plays out. 204 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 2: I guess you know. 205 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 10: The next big line the sand is the start of 206 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 10: April in terms of what Trump. 207 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 2: Does with tariffs. 208 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 10: But yeah, they are pretty confident that they are getting 209 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 10: back towards the two percent inflation target. There's been lots 210 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 10: of big pay rises put through by big Japanese firms 211 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 10: of late. But yeah, it's all about Japanese. I suppose 212 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 10: all about Trump's twert plans, and how I suppose that 213 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 10: affects the Japanese economy, which obviously is hugely export oriented 214 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 10: and it's notably Yeah, but the business move is so 215 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 10: out a little bit of late.

Would you 268 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: do that? 269 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 8: You have a lot of guns pointing at each other 270 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 8: and the cease fire without going a little bit further, 271 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 8: it would have been tough.

At their conferences, the family, the offender, 343 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 16: hopefully the victim, and the kids. A lawyer and the 344 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 16: police Youth aid officer. So the police Youth Aide officer 345 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 16: is the critical part of this stuff in front of 346 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 16: you because they are essentially advocating for the community and 347 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 16: for the victim of what sentence that young person should get. 348 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 16: And so there's all those ranges you can see from 349 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 16: supers with activity, which is a community based problem that 350 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 16: we specialize in, right through to the suvilanion with residence 351 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 16: which's only a maximuth three months in their youth residence, 352 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 16: which is a youth prison. And so if you're getting 353 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 16: sixteen and seventeen year olds who have been right through 354 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 16: the youth justice system and then are continuing to offend, 355 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 16: especially at a high level like ram range, which we're 356 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 16: called aggravated robberies, the youthbviously has no choice but to 357 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 16: put them up to what we call the district court 358 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 16: where they can then get an adult sentence of imprisonment. 359 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 16: Really just to keep the community safe. 360 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: Which is what's happening. And that's as you say, I mean, 361 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 2: you work with those who are at the lower end 362 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: of the spectrum, but for those who are repeatedly at 363 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 2: the other end, you've got to do something and clearly 364 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: they are. 365 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 16: Yeah, and all the worldwide, the statistics show that most 366 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 16: young people offend will grow out of it their brain 367 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 16: the brain brain changes and you become out of it. 368 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 16: But there are that sort of five to ten percent, 369 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 16: which we call persistent youth offenders, who will offend well 370 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 16: into their adult life. And so regardless what programs we 371 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 16: deliver at the lower level, they'll just continue on with 372 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 16: their offending and so that's tense, end up in the 373 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 16: district court and end up with animal sentences. 374 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 2: Which is what's happening. So for the when if people 375 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 2: say I know all that these people need, these young 376 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: people need is wrap around services upon wrap around services 377 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 2: upon wrap around services. Actually that for some kids you can't. 378 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: There's only so much wrapping you can do. 379 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 16: Absolutely, and people talk about no, I've lived it for 380 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 16: twenty five years as former police officer and you've justice manager. 381 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 16: Is that often people to fault us out what it's 382 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 16: about the family and finner which need to support them. Well, 383 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 16: for many of our kids, the family funder are the problem. 384 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 16: They live in chaos, no criminality, drugs, violence, family violence, 385 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 16: and there's a period of time with their young people 386 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 16: and need ben need to be away from their family 387 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 16: to fix themselves, and at the same time you need 388 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 16: to work with the family. So there's two different things 389 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 16: happening at the same time. 390 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon, interesting stuff. Thanks so much for coming on 391 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: the show and for your analysis. Brendan Crompton is the 392 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: Blue Lights CEO twenty minutes away from seven on News 393 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: Talk set b I am everybody cats those numbers. It's 394 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 2: a nineteen percent increase in the number of young people 395 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: receiving orders or adult sentences last year. So that's kids 396 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 2: who are doing really bad stuff getting the adult service, 397 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 2: the adult sentences that a lot of people think they deserve. Now, 398 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 2: if you just heard the news this morning, and perhaps 399 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: you haven't yet, but the speedway, the Western Spring Speedway 400 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 2: in Auckland, there are three bids the councils looking at 401 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: for a new stadium there. One of them has come 402 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: from Animobra, Bill Foley, the Billionaire and Ali Williams. Now, 403 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: it's interesting how this all came out because it wasn't 404 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: meant to be public yesterday and Maurice Williamson came on 405 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 2: the Drive show yesterday to talk about it. He wasn't 406 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 2: actually allowed to talk about it to begin with, and 407 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: then Ali Williams and co go and talk about it publicly. 408 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 2: So then the embargo came off or whatever it was, 409 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 2: the blockade came off and everyone could start talking about 410 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 2: this potential for a twelve and a half thousand seat 411 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: stadium at Western Springs. So there you go. But Morris 412 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: Williamson was not particularly pleased with what he saw from 413 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 2: the billionaire and their submission. Have we got the audio there, Glenn, 414 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: let's have a listen to Marris Williamson. 415 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 17: We didn't get enough of the numbers. Actually, one of 416 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 17: the things I was disappointed at the first presentation is 417 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 17: I want to know what we get that as ratepayers 418 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 17: and the council will get back. 419 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 9: It was all very. 420 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 17: Well to see lovely pictures of what it would look 421 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 17: like and how many people would be able to go there, 422 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 17: and what functions and features. I'm really a bit flinty 423 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 17: faced on this, and I want to know what's the 424 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 17: sum of money that we will get back into the 425 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 17: coffers to help take the burden off ratepayers. 426 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: There you go, he says. The buildingaires came with the 427 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: nice you know art is impression of a stadium, but 428 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 2: not so much with the numbers. Thank you very much. 429 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: Eighteen away from seven at News Talk ZMB, we are 430 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: going to get to Rome as well. Of course, we've 431 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 2: got big a lot of stuff happening in Europe. They 432 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 2: are obviously wanting to up their defense spending, but a 433 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: lot of the country's economies aren't looking that flash. So 434 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: how much do you commit? That's the question for Maloney 435 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 2: and the Italians. And we'll cross to Rome next. 436 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast full shown iHeartRadio powered by News Talk. 437 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 9: Hip be. 438 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 2: News Talks AB quarter to seven.

As the battlefield situation evolved, 445 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 12: President Zelenski asked for additional air defense systems to protect 446 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 12: his civilians, particularly Patriot missile systems, and President Trump agreed 447 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 12: to work with him to find what was available, particularly 448 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 12: in Europe. 449 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 2: So he's had the call with pertin yesterday and this 450 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 2: morning as we were sleeping, it was the call with 451 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: Zelensky and they spoke.

Now, what's the latest with 472 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: the Pope houses help. 473 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 13: Well, it's been a rocky ride, as we all know 474 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 13: for Pope Francis. He's been in hospital now for more 475 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 13: than a month. The Vatican says he's making slush improvements. 476 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 13: We're just waiting for an update, which should come through 477 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 13: in the next half an hour. But now there's a 478 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 13: lot of concern because, particularly because King Charles and Queen 479 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 13: Camilla have announced a state visit to Rome in April, 480 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 13: and they're saying they're ready to meet the Pope, but 481 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 13: the Vatican refuses to confirm a if that's happening, or 482 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 13: b whether the Pope will be out of hospital by then. 483 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 2: Right. Meanwhile, we've got the defense talks continuing. This is 484 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: the bid to increase defense spending. Maloney there has backed 485 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: the plans, but the coalition not quite sure about how 486 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: much we should spend. 487 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 13: Yeah, First of all, for the Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney, 488 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 13: it's a very difficult tightrope that she's walking. She wants 489 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 13: to be pro EU, she wants to be pro Ukraine, 490 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 13: but she also wants to protect her relationship with the 491 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 13: American President Donald Trump. She's been updating Parliament today ahead 492 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 13: of an EU summit where the leaders are going to 493 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 13: discuss Ukraine with support and plans to increase defense spending. 494 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 13: Italian defense spending now at one point five percent of GDP, 495 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 13: that split the coalition. Her Brothers of Italy party backs 496 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 13: the EU trying to raise that amount, while the League party, 497 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 13: run by her deputy Prime Minister Matteo Slovini, opposes it. 498 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 13: Now he says that money, any increase in spending on 499 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 13: or rearmaments, that money should be allocated to schools, hospitals 500 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 13: and pensions. And you can imagine that resonates quite well 501 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 13: with the Italian electorate. 502 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, it's the same problem that a lot of those, 503 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: a lot of your fellow European countries will be grappling with. 504 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: It's a very big bill to have to cover this 505 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 2: defense one. Now, what is the deal with these one 506 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: euro homes, Joe? Are they still on offer? And these beautiful, 507 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 2: quaint Italian towns they are. 508 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 13: Indeed, I've visited quite a few of these one Euro 509 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 13: towns in Sicily and there's another one in Sardinia. But 510 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 13: this is a different proposal now coming from the northern 511 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 13: province of Trento, which is up in the Dolomite Mountains 512 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 13: right up on the Austrian border. They're off ring one 513 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 13: hundred thousand euros to people who want to live in 514 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 13: their deserted towns. They've identified around thirty three towns that 515 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 13: are running out of people and they want to encourage 516 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 13: even foreigners to move to these villages that have lost 517 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 13: their inhabitants. Now to get the money, you've got to 518 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 13: live there fourteen years or rent the property at a 519 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 13: moderate rate to someone who will live there. But for 520 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 13: people in New Zealand who love their mountains, I love 521 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 13: their skiing, this is certainly something worth considering. I would think. 522 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have thought so too. I watched a 523 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: documentary on it just the other day, a YouTube. One's great, Joe. 524 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a lot of work, though, it's a 525 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: lot of work. 526 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 13: It's a lot of work if you take one of 527 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 13: those one euro houses and rip them apart, certainly, but 528 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 13: I've seen some great results with them all the same. 529 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: Joe mckinner and Italy, thanks so much for your time 530 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 2: this morning, just gone ten away from seven year own news. 531 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: Talk to b when we come back. The biz and 532 00:25:54,560 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 2: also the deal potential deal between in New Zealand and India. 533 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 2: The numbers on this are pretty impressive of what could 534 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 2: happen if we opened up a link to direct link 535 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: to Mumbai ten away from seven. 536 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on the Mike Hosking breakfast with Bailey's real 537 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: estate NEWSTALGSD. 538 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 2: Sleven away from seven. We'll look at the GDP after 539 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: seven this morning. This FPA train keeps on chugging. Not 540 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: that we haven't FTA out of India yet, but the 541 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 2: talks on the sidelines continue. Luxon is still there by 542 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: the way, so this one I can bring you news 543 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 2: of this morning. Air New Zealand and Air India have 544 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 2: announced they're basically talking to each other this about getting 545 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: a flight from Mumbai into New Zealand. Theur ism a 546 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 2: big priority obviously. Now last year we had eighty two 547 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: thousand Indians coming to New Zealand. They reckon if you 548 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: open up access, and that's basically flights and routes, you 549 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: can boost that up to five hundred thousand per year. 550 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 2: For some perspective, pre COVID we were getting about four 551 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 2: hundred thousand China, so that is not an insignificant number. 552 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 2: Long way, the talks continue, But I mean there's nothing 553 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: in here about an actual deal being done just yet. 554 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 2: Six away from seven well. 555 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 1: The in and the ouse. It's the bearz with business 556 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: Timer take your business productivity to the next level. 557 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 2: Here is a bit of business news that you can 558 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 2: actually use. If you're in the smaller towns of New 559 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: Zealand and you've been jealous of us in the big 560 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: cities being able to use Uber eats, have I got 561 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 2: news for you. Don't be jealous because all it does 562 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 2: is make you fat. But anyway, Uber Eats is expanding 563 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 2: not only our waistlines but also around the country. The 564 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: focus on hitting regional towns. Apparently, for the first time, 565 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 2: you'll be able to order your burger and chips on 566 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 2: the app and wait for it Wayuku, Huntley, Motsueka, Graymouth, Gore, 567 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 2: Mutta Mutter, Morrinsville, Thames and Kerry Carey. Hopefully in those 568 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 2: small towns you'll actually have something open to deliver to you. 569 00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 2: I shouldn't laugh. Essentially, there's a new feature come into 570 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: Uber as well. They're also releasing by the end of 571 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 2: the month a feature on Uber for New Zealand's New 572 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: Zealanders called Eats for teens. Essentially, it's a kiddie lock 573 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 2: for uber. Parents will be able to set spending limits, 574 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: track deliveries, and get notifications anytime their teenager orders something, 575 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: so that they can monitor whether they're being healthy or not. 576 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: It's also suggested that parents will be able to set 577 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 2: limits as to what restaurants or fast food chains their 578 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: teams can order from. Probably won't stop a savvy teenager 579 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: from making a new account to bypass the whole thing. 580 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 2: I mean, they know more than anyone else, don't They. 581 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 9: Are any word on whether they're coming to Wontaka or 582 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 9: you know. 583 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: You'd hope so poor old Wonicah. Hey, speaking of Wantaca. 584 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: You know, it was not just the local sort of 585 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: green brigade that was against that McDonald's there, but it 586 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: was also our Ministry of Health at Health New Zealand 587 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: was saying don't build the McDonald's there. And they weren't 588 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 2: just saying that because Berger is a bad for your 589 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: health or whatever. They were also saying that because the environment. 590 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 2: What does the Ministry of Health, What does Health New 591 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: Zealand have to do with the environment. 592 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 19: So I suppose if you trip over a discarded I 593 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 19: don't know, you know, giant frozen coke can or something. 594 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: Then you could hurt yourself. That's an acc problem, that's 595 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: not a health end zed problem. So anyway, the Minister, 596 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 2: Simon Brown, he has quite worked up about this morning. 597 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: I worked up about this and he's worked up in 598 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: particular about the team of people. And you can just 599 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: picture them beavering away there in Wellington. I'll hit their 600 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: pens out and laptops out. Who can we hit next? 601 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: He's heading back after seven thirty. 602 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to stay in the now. 603 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: Brian Bridge on the mic, asking breakfast with Bailey's real 604 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: estate altogether better across residential, commercial and rural news togsad be. 605 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 2: Good morning at a seven after seven. Mike is not 606 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 2: with us this morning. He is ill, but I am 607 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 2: here so do not fear he's fine. He's not dead 608 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 2: or anything. He's just not here today. Right. There is 609 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 2: hope the economy bounced back to life in the December quarter. 610 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 2: We're getting numbers today. GEDDP figures will be revealed this morning. 611 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: Most economists are picking growth, albeit not much. It's pretty slim. 612 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: Most projections between point three point five. Westpac is sitting 613 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 2: at the point t more optimistic end. Senior economist Michael 614 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: Gordon is with me this morning. Michael, good morning, Michael, 615 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 2: good morning. 616 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 20: Hey, good morning. 617 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 2: So why a bit more optimism from you. 618 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 20: I wouldn't really call it optimism, but I think there's 619 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 20: within the range of forecasts. It's sort of at the 620 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 20: upper end. But I think the number that we're going 621 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 20: to see today there's potential for it to be boosted 622 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 20: by some technical issues. It's a little tricky to explain, 623 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 20: but there I think there's been ongoing issues. Is kind 624 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 20: of understanding the pattern of growth throughout the year. Some 625 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 20: changes that Statsney Zealand did last time, I think to 626 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 20: not to my mind of probably not helped with understanding that. 627 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 20: I think if you go through sector by sector, what 628 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 20: it looks to me is probably more like flat for 629 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 20: the quarter. There have been some signs of things turning, 630 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 20: but it's probably been more in early twenty five than 631 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 20: in late twenty four. 632 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: And whatever that number is, I mean, let's hope that 633 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 2: it's obviously positive. But whatever the number is, it's going 634 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 2: to be led by, isn't it primary exporters doing the 635 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: heavy lifting? 636 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 20: Yeah, certainly we've had some good conditions for exporters strong 637 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 20: milk collections really this season, and some pretty decent prices 638 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 20: for dairy and milk. I mean, good prices don't go 639 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 20: directly into GDP, but it turns into farmers income, that 640 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 20: turns into spending in the regions and so on. So 641 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 20: that's certainly a helpful factor. We're tending to see the 642 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 20: more I guess, the more sectors that are focused on 643 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 20: the local markets still struggling, and especially things like construction 644 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 20: still really and is quite a steep downturn. 645 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 2: Looking ahead, I mean looking at Order one twenty twenty five, 646 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 2: and I know we're about to look backwards today, but 647 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 2: looking ahead, you had that confidence survey yesterday. I think 648 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 2: you know, Key is feeling a bit jetterary. Is that 649 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 2: going to impact spending? Does this delay the recovery? 650 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 9: Yes? 651 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 20: Certainly interesting that that kievy consumers are you know, focused 652 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 20: on things like the global uncertainty, given that it hasn't 653 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 20: so directly touched us yet, there's always the risk that 654 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 20: we get something much more tangible when Trump comes out 655 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 20: with his beautiful tariffs on April seconds. But it's something 656 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 20: that's playing on people's minds. While we are seeing some 657 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 20: pick up in the actual spending numbers. It's been pretty gradual. 658 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 20: People are still waiting to feel the relief from lower 659 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 20: interest rates in many cases as well. 660 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and a little bit spoke by what's happening over 661 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: in the White House. Michael, Thank you for that. Michael Gordon, 662 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 2: who's THEES senior economist with Wes Pack this morning, we'll 663 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 2: have the number here on News Talk News Talks. Heb 664 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 2: for you later on this morning. This is a JEDDP 665 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: for fourth quarter last year, finally after how long. I mean, 666 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 2: you look at those numbers yesterday on consumer confidence and 667 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 2: honestly it's a bit depressing because for the last basically 668 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 2: the last twenty years pre COVID, we were in the positive. 669 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 2: We were feeling good. There was a blip during the GFC, 670 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: but then the last five years, basically since twenty twenty 671 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 2: one ish twenty twenty twenty twenty one, we have been negative. 672 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: Our confidence has been negative, and we were within three 673 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 2: points of getting back to positive and we've slid again 674 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 2: thanks to well bit afair about Trump and his tariffs. 675 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: It's ten after seven bridge. See while now core Logic 676 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 2: is sensing an incoming rates war interest rates that it 677 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 2: is with signs that borrowers are starting to check out 678 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 2: the two year, the three year, the fixed term deals again, 679 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 2: people going a bit long. In January, ninety percent of 680 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: borrow has chose floating or fixed rates of six to 681 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 2: twelve months. But that is all about to change. David 682 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 2: Cunningham from Squirrel Mortgage Brokers is with me, David, good morning, 683 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 2: Hi Ran, So are you what sort of here is 684 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: are you getting at the moment? What are you hearing? Oh? 685 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 15: Look, it's thingsul change dramatically since pre Christmas and you've 686 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 15: had this march down in the ocr and people were 687 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 15: just holding back waiting for the OCA announcement reduction to come, 688 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 15: and then as soon as that happens, they jump into 689 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 15: a short term fixtraate And that's been going on really 690 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 15: for the best part of a year, where everyone's been 691 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 15: in short term rates on the expectation that the OCO 692 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 15: would come done. So it's come down a fair better 693 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 15: readio and there's a couple of more cuts definitely to 694 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 15: come based on what the Reserve Bank said to us. 695 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 15: So what was sort of seen is I wouldn't say, actually, 696 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 15: I think NR in terms of a mortgage war. I 697 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 15: think what we saw is you know, pre Christmas we 698 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 15: were sort of calling out the squirrel. We were calling 699 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 15: a four ninety nine rate earlier in the new year, 700 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 15: and the skinners that have got underway with Westpac going 701 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 15: to four ninety nine with a three year term, then 702 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 15: they pulled it a couple of weeks later, and then 703 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 15: I think AMZ the same day to the four nineteen 704 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 15: nine for two year, and essentially every bank has come 705 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 15: to that level pretty much. Look, we could see the 706 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 15: one year right ago, but but I actually don't think 707 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 15: there's a war coming. I think, you know, we've sort 708 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 15: of past this threshold and banks that are now just 709 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 15: going to sort of hove around that level. 710 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 2: So do you reckon people should like? I mean, it's 711 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 2: not going to get much better than four point ninety nine. 712 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 2: And I guess the other thing is, what you know, 713 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 2: do you really want to sit here and for how 714 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 2: long trying to pick the bottom of the market, right? Yeah? 715 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, Well look what we've seen is like almost 716 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 15: you know, the bulk of customers are now taking four 717 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 15: ninety nine for two years. I mean I just adapt, 718 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 15: Well then then money where your mouth is? Yeah, So 719 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 15: you know, i'd i'd been on set of six months 720 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 15: rights the last you know, a year or two or 721 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 15: something like that, just waiting for waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting 722 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 15: and happened. And you know, when you look back over 723 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 15: history and you can look through from two thousand and 724 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 15: ten to sort of two thousand, you know, to pre COVID, 725 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 15: you know, interest rates one two year terms, we're in 726 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 15: that four to five percent range for that whole time 727 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 15: almost so you know, unless the economy tanks further, which 728 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 15: Michael just said that it's you know, probably looking a 729 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 15: bit better, even if consumers are still gloomy, you know, 730 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 15: you're probably going to be in that range, but more 731 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 15: likely the middle of the range for so one year term. 732 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 15: You know, so it could be a bit lie, but 733 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 15: you know what we you know, scrolls views for night 734 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 15: times and damn good Rain, you too for it. 735 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 2: David Cunningham Squirrel mortgage brokers to squirrel with us this morning, 736 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 2: just gone thirteen, after seven news talks.

It is seventeen minutes after seven. Great to 771 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 2: have your company. Now, this is just happening this morning. 772 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 2: Aaron Z's reporting that the government has apparently blindsided primary 773 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 2: princes by going to market for a test. So the 774 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 2: government has already announced on everybody knows this that if 775 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 2: you're at primary or intermediate school there will be two tests, 776 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 2: or they want there to be two tests every year 777 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 2: for children in reading, writing and maths. Now the government's 778 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 2: announced that they have put out to tender for these 779 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 2: tests two tests per year primary and intermediate years three 780 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 2: to ten. Put out a tender and this is upset 781 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: the Principals Federation. I mean, why you would be surprised 782 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 2: by that? I have no idea, but anyway, Leanne or 783 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 2: Tenny is the federation president. She says the call for 784 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 2: proposals was a total surprise and contrary to what it 785 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,439 Speaker 2: had been told. Quite why they need to be told 786 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 2: everything about you know everything? I don't know, but she 787 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 2: said she's worried that the new test could be developed 788 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 2: by a foreign company with no knowledge of New Zealand 789 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 2: schools or culture. But the tests, remember are for reading writing, 790 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 2: and which I assumed would have been quite universal. Eighteen 791 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 2: after seven. Now over in Wellington. We love to hate 792 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 2: on Wellington.

There's no white or yellow 802 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 2: lines in the middle of the cycle way, and apparently 803 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 2: feeling quite vulnerable on the old bike.

And I say so 837 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 2: called deal because it hasn't actually held yet. First it 838 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 2: was only partial, no full cease fire like Zelensky had 839 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 2: agreed to. Second, it covered energy and infrastructure, a thirty 840 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 2: day pause for them. But already the Russians have fired 841 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 2: at energy facilities, They've already fired at Rhodes, They've already 842 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 2: taken on two hospitals. Now, if you go and have 843 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 2: a look at the redoubt. From the call between Trump 844 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,879 Speaker 2: and Putin, it says Putin gave the order immediately, gave 845 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 2: the order to his top brass to stop the firing. Right, So, 846 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 2: either the military is going rogue and firing anyway, or 847 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 2: Putin's up to his old tricks. Actually, both of those 848 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 2: things could be happening at the same time. How with 849 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 2: Russia they could both be true, right, But either way, 850 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 2: for Trump, the big game he talks, the art of 851 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 2: the deal has just hit a Kremlin wall in Trump's 852 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 2: favor reputation wise. Is at least people are talking about peace. Right, 853 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 2: We've just had three years of war. Whenever you get 854 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 2: a world leader meeting, it's talk about more and more 855 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 2: and more more war, a ceasefire and armistice, a peace, 856 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 2: steel whatever. These things require action, the act of putting 857 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 2: down your weapons, a truce, if you will, But that 858 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 2: at first needs talks, and at least Trump can argue 859 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 2: at least the phones are ringing. Twenty five minutes after 860 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 2: seven News Talk said be somebody said, Ryan, can you 861 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 2: please tap the pen against the desk a little louder 862 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 2: and better? Obviously there's somebody who's quite psychastic up there. 863 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 2: I'm annoying this morning. I apologize. I didn't know I 864 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 2: did it, Glenn. Do you hear it? 865 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 19: M Yeah, I can't say that now that, now that 866 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,720 Speaker 19: it's been brought up, I can't unhear it, of course. 867 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 868 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 19: So I guess people are just missing the way that 869 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 19: Mike prefers to just thump the desk he and bounce 870 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,280 Speaker 19: it up and down. 871 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 9: They seem to love that. 872 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 2: Oh, hang on, let me give it a try. 873 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah of that. 874 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,840 Speaker 19: And also when you're done with a piece of paper, 875 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 19: if you can just audibly screw it up, yeah, and then. 876 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 9: Throw it in the event. 877 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 2: I do do that, but that's because there's a bin 878 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 2: in here that you can throw it into, which is 879 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 2: quite handy. Lots of text coming in on other important 880 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 2: things too. This is on uber Eats, which is apparently 881 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 2: not that important, but apparently expanding into the regions. This 882 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 2: is a report from Morinsville, Ryan. Nothing is open late 883 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,439 Speaker 2: enough here to order Uber Eats or bother ordering Uber 884 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 2: eats at dinner time. Anyway, Ryan. Parents need to teach 885 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,879 Speaker 2: their children and probably themselves, how to cook, rather than 886 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 2: use an app to make them poor, lazy and unhealthy. 887 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,479 Speaker 2: Says Simon the Uber Eats grinch this morning. It's true, though, 888 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 2: when it comes straight to your door, you don't even 889 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 2: have to look a delivery driver in the eye to 890 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 2: the shame that you bring to your house. It just 891 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 2: drops it on the front porch and it goes. 892 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 9: I know somebody who ordered a milkshake on Uber Eats. 893 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 2: Not just one milkshake. Well I've done that. I know 894 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 2: it's so extravagant, but god it's good and no shame, 895 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 2: you don't feel the shame. News Talks, sa'd be We're 896 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 2: going to talk to someone who probably doesn't have too 897 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 2: many milkshakes, Sam Ruth, who's broken a world record. 898 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: Next your source of freaking news, challenging a villion and 899 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,320 Speaker 1: honors backs Bryan Bridge on the my casking Breakfast with Vida, 900 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: Retirement Communities, Life Your Way, News Talks. 901 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 2: D B twenty three away from eight on news Talk 902 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 2: said b Sam Ruth is the man of the moment, 903 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 2: well the young man at the moment.

This business in Hawk's Bay of inz 911 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 2: post so there were some post boxes. You might have 912 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 2: seen this in the news yesterday. Postboxes out there in 913 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 2: Hawk's Bay. People were putting letters in them and items 914 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 2: and then thinking that they were going to be collected 915 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 2: by the post is and then taken and delivered. Actually, no, 916 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 2: these were decommissioned, for want of a better term, decommissioned 917 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 2: postboxes sitting on the side of the road. People are 918 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,919 Speaker 2: putting their letters and their pen pals and I don't 919 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,759 Speaker 2: know what people write putting them in there, and they 920 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 2: were just sitting there. Now. The union came out yesterday 921 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 2: very upset about this, the post Workers Union saying, for 922 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,840 Speaker 2: good AND's sakes, you know, nzy post is just running 923 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 2: the whole thing into the ground. This is a shambles. 924 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 2: One of them hadn't been emptied for nine months. One 925 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 2: woman put her free bowel screening test in there. That 926 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 2: is terrible because you know, you're for a. 927 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 19: Number of reasons, for a number of reasons. 928 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 2: But yeah, I didn't think that once it's quite through. 929 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 2: But that's bad. You know, that's somebody waiting on some 930 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 2: important results. But also equally, if no one notices that 931 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 2: a postbox hasn't been emptied for nine months, does that 932 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,720 Speaker 2: not prove that it shouldn't be there in the first place. 933 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 2: Two away from eight. You're on news TALKSIB this morning. 934 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 2: National public health servances have been firing shots at the government. 935 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 2: Bit a tip for tat going on here. They're being 936 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 2: accused of overreach and trying to suppress the expertise of officials. 937 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 2: The health ministers having none of this, he says that 938 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 2: they should. This is the health officials focus on the basics. 939 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 2: No more anti car, anti stallholder, anti wonnaker, McDonald's submission, nonsense. 940 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 2: Simeon Brown is with me now, minister, good morning, good morning. 941 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 2: What sort of carry on do you want to see? God, 942 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 2: do you want to see them stop talking about the 943 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 2: environment to stallholders in Nelson. 944 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 22: I'd love them to start focusing on our immunization targets 945 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 22: which are woefully behind, and stop trying to be the 946 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 22: health police and telling stallholders and Nelson they've got a 947 00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 22: plot up signs saying bring your own cups. You know, 948 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,720 Speaker 22: stop it. Trying to campaign against McDonald's stores in Wanaca. 949 00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 22: That's not what the National Public Health Service should be 950 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,839 Speaker 22: focused on. They should be focused on the expertise. We're 951 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,919 Speaker 22: getting our immunization rates up for our children and doing 952 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 22: that job rather than being being campaigners on issues where 953 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 22: actually that's not their job. 954 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,880 Speaker 2: Go and join Greenpeace. 955 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 20: Absolutely. 956 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,640 Speaker 22: I mean the reality here is their job is to 957 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 22: focus on immunization targets. They to have a promotional and 958 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 22: educational role around a range of other issues. But their 959 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 22: job is not to be making submissions on public policy 960 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:40,120 Speaker 22: matters and making and campaigning against shops which people have 961 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 22: to go and need. I mean, I want them being 962 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 22: the health service, not the health police. 963 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 2: The thing is, though they would argue that this is 964 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 2: part of their job, that health. I mean they use 965 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,880 Speaker 2: the World Health Organization's definition of health, which is a 966 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 2: state of complete physical, mental, and social well being and 967 00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,680 Speaker 2: not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, saying to them, 968 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 2: ignore the w h O definition, this is outside of 969 00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 2: your remit. 970 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 22: No, what I'm saying is focus on your k missing, 971 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 22: which is make sure that our immunization wrapped up for 972 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 22: our children, which are significantly under the last government. 973 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:14,520 Speaker 20: One of the key roles of the. 974 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,880 Speaker 22: National public Health Service. It should be immunization of our children. 975 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 22: They should focus on that and stop sharing. There is 976 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 22: another thing I read from a submission they made to 977 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:27,680 Speaker 22: Nelson City Council was that Nowton City council should should 978 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 22: ban banned community groups from selling raffle tickets because that 979 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 22: might encourage gambling. I mean, this is just absolutely ridiculous. 980 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 2: Fair enough, it's mad. But you're the Health Minister now, 981 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 2: I mean, how many people are on this team writing 982 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 2: this stuff? Why don't they Why don't you just get 983 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 2: them all fired? 984 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 22: Well, I'm asking them if I'm asking howth focus for 985 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:54,280 Speaker 22: the basics? Do you expect Well, I'm not. Health Museum 986 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 22: is going through a process to find efficiencies in their 987 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,040 Speaker 22: back office. They're doing that in this team, and and 988 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 22: this is one of the teams that has been being 989 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 22: looked at. But what I would say is, I mean 990 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 22: those are ultimately operational matters for healthy I'm being very 991 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 22: clear at my expectations as to what this team should 992 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 22: be focused on, and that is, let's get our immunization 993 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 22: rates back up. Let's not go out there and wage 994 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 22: war against council policies and people's choices around what they eat. 995 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 2: All right, minister, thanks for your time, Simmy and Brown 996 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 2: the Health Minister eighteen minutes away from eight Ryan Bridge. 997 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:26,439 Speaker 20: Yeah. 998 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 2: I reckon that the Health New Zealand won't be the 999 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 2: only place where if you're in a corporate role, if 1000 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 2: you're in a role that's not frontline, the acts is 1001 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 2: coming and it's going to fall at budget time. Nicola 1002 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 2: Willis has got a look in her own she's sort 1003 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,399 Speaker 2: of looked like she's been sharpening something very sharp and 1004 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 2: is going to make some pretty serious cuts, I think. 1005 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 2: And she has to because, as she said the other day, 1006 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,279 Speaker 2: if you listen to Nicola Willis, she's laying it out 1007 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 2: quite clearly. Ahead of the budget. She has said very clearly, 1008 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,480 Speaker 2: our borrowing costs are going to go up. You know, 1009 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 2: obviously we borrowed a ton of money during COVID. We 1010 00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 2: have to service that debt. The debt servicing is now 1011 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 2: more than what we spend on primary and secondary schools 1012 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,359 Speaker 2: and the Ministry of Justice, and that cost is going 1013 00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 2: to go up because of Trump and because of tarism, 1014 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 2: because of uncertainty. Right, So, when you're putting a budget together, 1015 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 2: you've got expensive debt servicing, plus you've got the potential 1016 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 2: for you know, economic turmoil and that would mean less 1017 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,440 Speaker 2: tax take and you've got increased costs, and you've got 1018 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 2: your defense you need to pay for. So it starts 1019 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 2: to look very very difficult and the way to get 1020 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 2: out of a difficult situation is with a knife, and 1021 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 2: Nikola Willis is going to be doing a bit of 1022 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 2: that seventeen away from eight News Talk ZB.

The key we 1025 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 2: run are fifteen years old has just broken the world 1026 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 2: sub one mile for under four minutes. 1027 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,760 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast, a full show podcast on iHeartRadio 1028 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 1: power by News Talks. 1029 00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 21: A b. 1030 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 2: Fourteen away from eight News Talk ZI be Jerome pal 1031 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 2: this is the fed over in the US. I've left 1032 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:09,280 Speaker 2: the since the interest right unchanged just in the last hour, 1033 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,239 Speaker 2: but Drome Pale has spoken about what he thinks will 1034 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 2: happen with inflation after the feed left the right unchanged. 1035 00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 14: Have lesten If you look in the survey world, if 1036 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 14: you look a little further out, you really you really 1037 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,560 Speaker 14: don't see much in the way of an increase longer 1038 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 14: term inflections. Inflation expectations are mostly well anchored. If you 1039 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 14: look at the New York for example, then you have 1040 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 14: market based and it's the same pattern. You know, people 1041 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 14: in markets are pricing in in break evens, some higher 1042 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 14: inflation over the next year must be related to tariffs, 1043 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 14: we know from the surveys. But if you look out 1044 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 14: five years or the five year five year forward, you'll 1045 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,800 Speaker 14: see that break events have are either flat or actually 1046 00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 14: slightly down in the case of. 1047 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 2: The longer term on Drome Pal from the feed leaving 1048 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,759 Speaker 2: the right unchanged.

And if they can agree on something, 1054 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 2: what exactly have they agreed to? Interesting story from Doc yesterday, 1055 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,759 Speaker 2: actually two quick little bits of nature related stories. One 1056 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 2: from Doc saying that dogs are killing Kiwi. They put 1057 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,399 Speaker 2: up some brutal pictures so you don't want to look 1058 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 2: at them. You know, if you're patriotical you like birds. 1059 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 2: They're pretty horrendous. Anyway, four of the birds died in 1060 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,240 Speaker 2: just three days between the sixth and the eighth of March. 1061 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 2: This is up north. This is in fun at a 1062 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:51,320 Speaker 2: da Bay on the Peninsula January.

Not 1066 00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 2: quite sure at this state. 1067 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,800 Speaker 9: But worry. I didn't even think we had nine kiwi. 1068 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,319 Speaker 2: We do? We have about hundreds? Oh yeah, what do 1069 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:11,520 Speaker 2: you think they're that endangered? 1070 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 9: Well, I've never seen one. 1071 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:13,839 Speaker 11: Never. 1072 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 2: They come out at night, don't they do? You go? 1073 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,560 Speaker 9: It's a good point. Actually I don't go out it. 1074 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,840 Speaker 9: I'm too busy ordering milkshakes. 1075 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,200 Speaker 2: On uber eats exactly. Actually, we've got some funny tecks 1076 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 2: about the uber eat situation. I'll get to those in 1077 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 2: a second. But anyway, if you've got a dog and 1078 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 2: you take it for a walk, just put it on 1079 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 2: a leak because it'll kill a kiwi.

What's your dream? 1157 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 7: I don't really think too far into the future, so 1158 00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 7: my dreams always just just relatively sure into the future. 1159 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 7: But at the moment it's probably the one Arcadia. So 1160 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,600 Speaker 7: that's on the twelfth of April, and that's that's a 1161 00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 7: big grace in America. So I love to win that. 1162 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 2: Do you feel like there's enough of a community. I mean, 1163 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 2: you mentioned Sam, but is there enough of a community? 1164 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 2: Is there enough support for you to go all the 1165 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 2: way with us? 1166 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:51,840 Speaker 13: Yeah? 1167 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, totally, so much support, Like am I community in 1168 00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 7: my community, in my training group, Sampan and hat and 1169 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,280 Speaker 7: water both on it. So it really just guided the 1170 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 7: pathway for me. 1171 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 20: Well, I got to do the work. 1172 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 2: Well, keep doing the business. Sam, Sam Ruth Keebi runner. 1173 00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 2: He has just set a record. Well, he's created a 1174 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 2: new one. I suppose sneaking in with a time of 1175 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 2: three minutes, fifty eight and thirty five split. It's just 1176 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 2: gone four minutes away from eight. Coming up. After eight o'clock, 1177 00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 2: we'll get the latest because there's a bit of phone 1178 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 2: tag going on between Trump and Zolenski and Pout.

We can dance on that. 1182 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 1: The news and the news makers. Ryan Bridge on the 1183 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 1: mic Husking breakfast with the range Rover vi La designed 1184 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 1: to intrigue and use togs dead b. 1185 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:11,640 Speaker 2: That's why. 1186 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:16,440 Speaker 9: There it is. 1187 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,680 Speaker 2: Sorry seven minutes. Oat D eight News Talk said, be 1188 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,480 Speaker 2: great to have your company this morning. We are going 1189 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 2: to talk war in just a second. Also, I'm going 1190 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 2: to run you through the Greens call to defund the 1191 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 2: police in New Zealand. Lord help us. And also we'll 1192 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 2: take a look at that confidence survey from Wistpact from yesterday. 1193 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 2: Some really interesting numbers about the regions right now, though 1194 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 2: we are talking of war. In the last forty eight hours, 1195 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 2: we had the news of Russia agreeing to a partial 1196 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,600 Speaker 2: cease fire. Basically they said we won't attack any energy infrastructure, 1197 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 2: and then within hours we had Russia launching drone strikes 1198 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,560 Speaker 2: on said energy infrastructure and two hospitals. Now Trump and 1199 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:02,280 Speaker 2: Zelenski have spoken this morning. We're two from here. Kirk 1200 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 2: Giles is a senior expert on Russia at Brittan's prestigious 1201 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 2: Chatham House and he's with me now. Good morning, Hello, 1202 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 2: good morning. So what do we know about this Trump 1203 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:12,600 Speaker 2: and Zelensky call? 1204 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 21: Well, the problem is we don't know very much about 1205 01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 21: what has really been discussed in any of these calls. 1206 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 21: You've got this shuttle diplomacy, these three way phone calls, 1207 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 21: and you get readouts from them that are very different 1208 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 21: depending on who you're listening to, even Trump's and Putin's call. 1209 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 21: If you read what to the White House is saying 1210 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 21: in English and what the Kremlin is saying in Russian, 1211 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 21: it's as though it was about two totally separate conversations. 1212 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 21: And of course, bearing in mind, neither of those is 1213 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 21: a particularly reliable source at the moment, but it's plain 1214 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:41,880 Speaker 21: they're treating this in two different ways. And then on 1215 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,560 Speaker 21: top of that, you've got whatever Trump has briefed to 1216 01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,440 Speaker 21: Zelenski or demanded from him in this most recent conversation. 1217 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 21: So all of this is really happening behind closed doors, 1218 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,560 Speaker 21: and we can only really guess what has been agreed 1219 01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 21: from what is visible on the outside. There doesn't seem 1220 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 21: to have been an agreement on even a partial ceasefire 1221 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 21: that a lot of media seem to have assumed is 1222 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 21: the case after that first White House readout saying that yes, 1223 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 21: this has been agreed, and that's partly because, of course, 1224 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 21: it's given Russia an opportunity, as everybody expected it would 1225 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,480 Speaker 21: to demand more in order to stop the war. So 1226 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 21: the real question is how much is the United States 1227 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 21: going to give Russia this time. 1228 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,000 Speaker 2: And how Why isn't Trump playing hardball with Potent like 1229 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:23,960 Speaker 2: he did with Zelenski. 1230 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 21: Well, that's a consistent pattern. This is a ceasefire into 1231 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,800 Speaker 21: which Ukraine has been coerced and Russia has been invited. 1232 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 21: But that goes along with Trump policy all the way, 1233 01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 21: not just to this time around, but also in his 1234 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 21: first term in office. At every possible opportunity, he gives 1235 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 21: Russia what it wants, even if it's to the detriment 1236 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,920 Speaker 21: of the United States's own interest. So that is not 1237 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 21: the surprising part. Trump's often called unpredictable, but this is 1238 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,800 Speaker 21: the one thing in which he has been absolutely rock 1239 01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,920 Speaker 21: solid and predictable all the way through. Do you know 1240 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 21: that he's on Russia side? 1241 01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 2: Why do you think he's doing that? Is that because 1242 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 2: that trying to You know, they've got a bigger beast 1243 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 2: to time in China. They can't be at war and 1244 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,840 Speaker 2: hating everyone. They want a resumption of tires with Russia, 1245 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,280 Speaker 2: try and pull them away from China. What's the play here. 1246 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,840 Speaker 21: Well, that's often been put forward by trumpists as the 1247 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,840 Speaker 21: three D Chess explanation for what's going on, so kind 1248 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 21: of broader strategy that's to do with turning towards China, 1249 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 21: But of course that's not backed up by any of 1250 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 21: the actions that the Trump Musk administration are actually taking, 1251 01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:28,360 Speaker 21: because they're knocking away the foundations of US power, not 1252 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 21: just facing Europe, but also facing elsewhere as well. If 1253 01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,000 Speaker 21: they wanted to be strong towards China, they wouldn't be 1254 01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 21: immobilizing Department of Defense, they wouldn't be cutting back on 1255 01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 21: the military, they wouldn't be cutting back on the United 1256 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,800 Speaker 21: States soft power like USAID, Voice of America, all of 1257 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 21: the ways that Russia can reach around the world and 1258 01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 21: try to frustrate powers like Russia and China. So it 1259 01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 21: just doesn't stack up, and it resembles far more simply 1260 01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,520 Speaker 21: curtailing the United States as means of exerting national interest, 1261 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,240 Speaker 21: supporting national interests both at home and abroad. 1262 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 2: To what the Europeans are going to do in response 1263 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 2: to this. You know, Germany is up in its defense spending. 1264 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,600 Speaker 2: We've had maloney in Italy trying to do the same, 1265 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 2: although there's some debate about how much they will spend. 1266 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 2: Ki Jarles, would you mind coming back in just a 1267 01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 2: few moments, senior expert on Russia at Britain's prestigious Chathamhouse, 1268 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:22,440 Speaker 2: on this call this morning overnight between Trump and Zelenski The. 1269 01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News. 1270 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:32,200 Speaker 2: TALKSBB fourteen after eight Kire Jarles is with our senior 1271 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 2: expert on Russia at Britain's prestigious Chatham House here, welcome back, 1272 01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 2: Hello again, So let's talk about the Europeans and how 1273 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 2: they respond to all of this. We've had for those 1274 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 2: who are just joining us, a call overnight between Trump 1275 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 2: and Zelensky. We're not entirely sure what was said in 1276 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 2: the call just yet, but the so called deal between 1277 01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,160 Speaker 2: Putin and Trump over Ukraine hasn't held because already there've 1278 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:58,280 Speaker 2: been attacks on infrastructure and on two hospitals. So what 1279 01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:02,320 Speaker 2: does Europe make of all of this and what happens 1280 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:07,800 Speaker 2: I suppose to the idea of peace when even Trump, 1281 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,280 Speaker 2: who's you know, as you've said's kind of settled themselves 1282 01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 2: closely to position, can't get a deal out of him. 1283 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,320 Speaker 21: Well, he's not trying to get a deal out of him, 1284 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 21: except in the sense that he's trying to impose whatever 1285 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,200 Speaker 21: Russia wants on Ukraine. And of course that is what 1286 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 21: Europeans are especially worried about, particularly, of course, those are 1287 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 21: the frontline states of Russia, because they look at what 1288 01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 21: has been done to Ukraine, they know that they could 1289 01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 21: be next, and they know that the United States, which 1290 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:34,680 Speaker 21: formerly was the underpinning of NATO, the backbone of this 1291 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,520 Speaker 21: alliance that's supposed to keep them safe, has actually flipped 1292 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 21: to the other side. So they're scrambling to look for 1293 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 21: any way that they can salvage. The situation which you've 1294 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:46,280 Speaker 21: got going on across Europe is inventorization of all of 1295 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 21: the military power, the military capacity that European states can 1296 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,200 Speaker 21: bring that isn't dependent on US support. And it turns 1297 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,920 Speaker 21: out in some cases that's not a lot, because everybody's 1298 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 21: assumed perfectly reasonably that they're going to be on the 1299 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 21: same side as the Americans in the future. Plus, of 1300 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 21: course around the world, you've also got other countries looking 1301 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 21: at this, the way that Ukraine has been thrown under 1302 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 21: the bus, and thinking, well, this could be us next, 1303 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 21: if we were reliant previously on the United States for 1304 01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 21: our security, if we look at them as a friend 1305 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 21: and an ally and a partner that was always going 1306 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:18,919 Speaker 21: to back us up, we need to bear in mind 1307 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 21: that if we come under attack, the United States might 1308 01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 21: just see that as an opportunity to opportunity to extort 1309 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,680 Speaker 21: from US something in the same way that they have Ukraine. 1310 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, interestingly, Japan has moved some of its long range 1311 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 2: missiles for exactly that reason. Just a little worried, a 1312 01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 2: little shaky on American support. So what happens now? I mean, 1313 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,520 Speaker 2: how does this end in Europe? If Putin is saying, oh, 1314 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:47,160 Speaker 2: you know, never accept any European troops basically in Ukraine 1315 01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,840 Speaker 2: to help with the peacekeeping or to hold peace in place, 1316 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,640 Speaker 2: and then you've got the Europeans saying, that's what we're 1317 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 2: willing to offer. We will do this to make it work. 1318 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 2: They obviously want to have a buffer between each other. 1319 01:06:58,960 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 2: How does this end. 1320 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 21: While Europe is trying to put together what it's calling 1321 01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 21: a coalition of the willing to actually provide for some 1322 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 21: kind of lasting piece in Ukraine as opposed to this 1323 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,000 Speaker 21: sticking plaster ceasefire that Trump seems to want to impose 1324 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 21: on it while waiting for Russia's conditions of surrender to 1325 01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 21: be imposed. But of course that's on two conditions that 1326 01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:20,880 Speaker 21: are at the moment are nonsensical. All of the descriptions 1327 01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 21: that we've had of how European troops might arrive in 1328 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,400 Speaker 21: Ukraine to maintain some kind of lasting piece are on 1329 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:31,400 Speaker 21: two conditions. First of all, US support and secondly Russian acquiescence. 1330 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 21: Russian has to agree to them being there, while the 1331 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 21: United States has already ruled out support. They say that's 1332 01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:38,760 Speaker 21: not going to happen, and Russia is never going to 1333 01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 21: agree to it because the whole point of them being 1334 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 21: there is to frustrate Russia and prevent it from invading further. 1335 01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 21: So at the moment, the conversation, at least as it's 1336 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 21: happening in the public domain, is a little bit nonsensical. 1337 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 21: Now tomorrow, our time, already today your time with there 1338 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,120 Speaker 21: is going to be a meeting of military chiefs from 1339 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:59,000 Speaker 21: across Europe who are supposed to be so called operationalizing 1340 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 21: this idea, probably putting their heads together and seeing just 1341 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 21: what exactly they can deliver in terms of military power 1342 01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 21: to meet this political task. That has been set. I 1343 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 21: doubt very much will hear anything specific about what comes 1344 01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,000 Speaker 21: out of that meeting, but there could be some hard 1345 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 21: truths about just what is actually possible if the United 1346 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 21: States isn't playing along. 1347 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and how quickly that can all happen too, I 1348 01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:21,840 Speaker 2: guess it's quite key. Kre Thank you very much for 1349 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,479 Speaker 2: your time this morning. Really appreciate your analysis.

Ryan Bridge, Thank goodness twenty 1372 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 2: two after eight is all I can say. Thank goodness 1373 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:49,200 Speaker 2: that the good people of America have voted this way 1374 01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,680 Speaker 2: in a particular poll. This is a Nipsos poll, a 1375 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 2: new one out this morning. So it should be clear 1376 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:59,000 Speaker 2: to Trump that you don't mess with the justice system. 1377 01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 2: If you are believing this poll, stop attacking it. Basically, so, 1378 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,799 Speaker 2: the poll asked the question, should Trump follow the court's 1379 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,960 Speaker 2: rulings even when they go against him? Eighty four percent 1380 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,839 Speaker 2: of all adults said yes, Harlle lujah. Ninety two percent 1381 01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:18,280 Speaker 2: of Democrats said yes. Obviously, eighty two percent of Independence 1382 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:22,280 Speaker 2: said yes, and seventy nine percent of Republicans say yes. 1383 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 2: So overwhelmingly Americans still believe in the rule of law 1384 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,800 Speaker 2: and that, I mean, it's not something you should have 1385 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:29,519 Speaker 2: to celebrate. 1386 01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 9: But but what if the judges hang on what is. 1387 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,240 Speaker 8: He he's a lunatic? 1388 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 2: Then it doesn't matter how crazy, how whether the judge 1389 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,840 Speaker 2: lives in an insane asylum, judge is a judge. Ruling 1390 01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 2: is the final twenty three minutes after eight o'clock, Ryan, 1391 01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,479 Speaker 2: the Greens you might have seen this for you know 1392 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 2: the comata are they're calling him the seventy seven year 1393 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 2: old Dean Whickliffe who was done for murder in New Zealand, 1394 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 2: being in and out of jail for years and years 1395 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 2: and years, most famous for escaping twice from perimeter in prison. 1396 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 2: High security. So much for high security, and how do 1397 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 2: you do it twice? Like, how do you let the 1398 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 2: guy who did it once then also do it again? 1399 01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,240 Speaker 2: Don't you keep a close eye on him? Anyway, that 1400 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,840 Speaker 2: was years ago. Now he's on a hunger strike and 1401 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:18,360 Speaker 2: the Greens have met with him, gone to the prison 1402 01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,720 Speaker 2: and met with him. I'm assuming the corrections would give 1403 01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 2: some dispensation for MPs to go and meet with them, 1404 01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,080 Speaker 2: because I mean, not anyone can. Paul goes to prison 1405 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,439 Speaker 2: and she has come out and said to the minister, 1406 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,400 Speaker 2: you know, he's on a hunger strike. He hasn't eaten, 1407 01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 2: by the way, he's getting fluids, just not solids, but 1408 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 2: he's on a hunger strike. And Tamotha Paul says, you've 1409 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 2: got to let him out on compassionate grounds. So all 1410 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:48,759 Speaker 2: you have to do is not eat lunch and you're 1411 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,880 Speaker 2: walking out of jail. Basically, I don't know about that. 1412 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,920 Speaker 2: She's also attending, Tamotha Paul has put on her social 1413 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,799 Speaker 2: media she's attending a conference or a talk in christ 1414 01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:03,559 Speaker 2: You looking at alternatives to the police and to prison. 1415 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 2: So I mean, not only do you let them out, 1416 01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 2: but then you just burn the building down behind them. 1417 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,960 Speaker 2: And who needs it? Who needs prisons? Who needs police? 1418 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 19: So when you go to prison to visit somebody on 1419 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 19: a hunger strike and you're trying to get them out, 1420 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:17,519 Speaker 19: do you hide a cake inside a cake? 1421 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:20,600 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1422 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 9: License to tell dad jokes two licenses. 1423 01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 2: It's quite daddy, Yeah, I don't know. And to be 1424 01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,639 Speaker 2: honest with you, but I mean, yeah, it doesn't make 1425 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,120 Speaker 2: sense to me. If you have a hunger strike, if 1426 01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 2: you've if you've got a point to make, then you 1427 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,080 Speaker 2: know people should should be able to listen to you. 1428 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:38,600 Speaker 2: And obviously ten of the poll's gone in, but that 1429 01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 2: doesn't mean anyone gets to walk out of jail free. 1430 01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,479 Speaker 2: And is that the decision a politician should be making. 1431 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 2: I mean, what are the Greens saying about the interference 1432 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,200 Speaker 2: we've just been talking about America, the interference of the 1433 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 2: of government with the judiciary. Twenty five minutes after eight 1434 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,559 Speaker 2: News talks, he'd be bridge. There is a member's bill 1435 01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 2: before Parliament at the moment it's coming up for its 1436 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 2: second reading and national supporting it. It's all it's labor 1437 01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:05,120 Speaker 2: and Peter Carmela Bealach. It's all about supposedly closing the 1438 01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 2: gender pay gap. But it would change the rules so 1439 01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 2: at the moment your employer can say to you, I 1440 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:14,080 Speaker 2: don't want you discussing your salary with your workmates because 1441 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't suit me. You might talk about it and 1442 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,800 Speaker 2: then ask for a pay rise. So they want to 1443 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:22,280 Speaker 2: change this so that it would be illegal for an 1444 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,760 Speaker 2: employer to put that into a contract. And they say 1445 01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,960 Speaker 2: that the more that would encourage more people to talk 1446 01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,439 Speaker 2: about their salaries, and then the gender pay gap would 1447 01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,479 Speaker 2: somehow miraculously close. Did I don't fill that of the 1448 01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,560 Speaker 2: logic personally, But also we don't like doing that, do we. 1449 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 2: I was always told being when I was raised. Don't 1450 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 2: tell anyone how much is in your bank account. Don't 1451 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:48,559 Speaker 2: tell anyone how much you earn. That is nobody's information 1452 01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:52,040 Speaker 2: but your own. So even if you changed the law, 1453 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,680 Speaker 2: you don't change the attitude of New Zealanders, which is 1454 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,760 Speaker 2: we just don't. We're not those kind of people. We 1455 01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,439 Speaker 2: don't go out there and want to share all that 1456 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:03,400 Speaker 2: private information. It's like PDA, you know, don't You don't 1457 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,679 Speaker 2: french kiss in the streets in New Zealand. You don't 1458 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,800 Speaker 2: tell someone what's in your bank account. You don't tell 1459 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,160 Speaker 2: someone how much you get paid. You just quietly go 1460 01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:14,800 Speaker 2: about your business like a good, humble TEAWE, what if. 1461 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,760 Speaker 9: They offered a french KISSI though, will you tell them. 1462 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:21,479 Speaker 2: How much does it pay?

I wish it's not a 1479 01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 2: tub of ice cream. It doesn't taste like a type 1480 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,599 Speaker 2: of ice cream, that's for sure. But I'm quite lucky 1481 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:32,200 Speaker 2: to have somebody. 1482 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 9: You can't get gains from a tup of ice cream, 1483 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 9: can you? 1484 01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:39,080 Speaker 2: Well? Really, you can't game and gain black fat. 1485 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,679 Speaker 9: Yeah, you specific about what you wanted to gain. 1486 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 2: Does anyone want to gain fat? I don't know. Hey, 1487 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,840 Speaker 2: very quickly, I'm going to take you through some Aukland 1488 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:54,639 Speaker 2: council business. That sounds boring. Let me rephrase that who cares? 1489 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,560 Speaker 2: Who wants to go through organ council business? There's freebes? 1490 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,519 Speaker 2: Are they all corrupt? How's that? 1491 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 21: So? 1492 01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 2: Fifteen of twenty Auckland councilors got freebes from eden Park 1493 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,240 Speaker 2: in the last fifteen months. They've been given things like 1494 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,920 Speaker 2: free tickets to Pink, to Coldplay, to Travis Scott, to 1495 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 2: Luke cohmbes, to the All Black Tests, to the Super 1496 01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:19,760 Speaker 2: Rugby Games, you name it. These guys have been on 1497 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:24,640 Speaker 2: the gravy train. The question now is are they impartial 1498 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,800 Speaker 2: or are they compromised? Are they bought? Auckland councilors got 1499 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,360 Speaker 2: a big decision to make whether they throw their weight 1500 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:35,400 Speaker 2: behind revamping Eden Park or do they throw their weight 1501 01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:40,679 Speaker 2: behind this stadium down on the waterfront. So the question 1502 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:45,680 Speaker 2: is are they compromised by a few free tickets to 1503 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:48,800 Speaker 2: some concerts? I don't know. I would find it hard 1504 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:50,680 Speaker 2: to think that that would sway you one way or 1505 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 2: the other. I guess it depends how cheap you are. 1506 01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:56,919 Speaker 2: The only counselors who did not accept eden Park freebes 1507 01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 2: were Julie Ferry, who's Michael Wood's husband, and I Actually 1508 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,519 Speaker 2: I don't know whether they didn't accept free bees or 1509 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:07,639 Speaker 2: weren't offered free bees, and you know, well maybe you'd 1510 01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:11,720 Speaker 2: be wondering whether she's bringing the husband alf Philippina has 1511 01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,000 Speaker 2: not had any, Mike Lee has not had any, and 1512 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,000 Speaker 2: Sharon Stewart has not had any. Apart from that, they've 1513 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 2: all been on the tape apparently twenty one minutes away from. 1514 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 18: Nine International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of 1515 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:25,599 Speaker 18: Mind for New Zealand Business. 1516 01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,920 Speaker 2: Rod Little is with us, our UK correspondent this morning. Rod, 1517 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:33,000 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning to you. So we've still got 1518 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 2: four kiss problems with these benefit cuts. 1519 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:38,160 Speaker 21: Yeah, we have. 1520 01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,080 Speaker 11: In what many took many people by surprise, given that 1521 01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:47,400 Speaker 11: laborers always vowed never to cut benefits. The party has 1522 01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:50,439 Speaker 11: suddenly realize that we have a benefits bill which is 1523 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 11: simply unsustainable. And everyone knows this, and I assume the 1524 01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,000 Speaker 11: labor left wingers who opposed the trades to the benefit 1525 01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 11: cuts know it as well. But it's very difficult for 1526 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:03,760 Speaker 11: Lake to get through with its own people. Undoubtedly it 1527 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 11: undoubtedly as the backing of the Conservatives and probably most 1528 01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 11: of them Lib Dems, but it's caused internal party problems. 1529 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 11: For sukir Stana, the Benefit secretary Liz Kendall had a 1530 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:21,840 Speaker 11: meeting with one hundred MPs before the debate and they 1531 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,560 Speaker 11: were very hostile to her. Now, during the debate, in 1532 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,080 Speaker 11: which Kendall that announced plans to save five billion quid 1533 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,479 Speaker 11: by twenty thirty, which frankly is a drop in the 1534 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:40,920 Speaker 11: ocean of our benefits expenditure, she was roundly abused by 1535 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:46,080 Speaker 11: several labor MPs. One of them was Diana Abbott. I 1536 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:49,200 Speaker 11: think so long as she's it's people like Diane Abbott, 1537 01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:51,479 Speaker 11: who's on the far left of the party, then it 1538 01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,280 Speaker 11: kind of doesn't matter. But I've been speaking to some 1539 01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 11: more moderate labor MPs on the soft left of the 1540 01:18:56,880 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 11: party and they too are very unhappy about it. Quite 1541 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,519 Speaker 11: see why we've got to cut our benefits bill, You know, 1542 01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:04,320 Speaker 11: we really do. 1543 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,080 Speaker 2: Bunny, you mentioned Diane Ebbittt. We've actually got a bit 1544 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:11,000 Speaker 2: of audio here from her. So she's basically standing next 1545 01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 2: to the Boss and the House and here's what she sees. 1546 01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:18,840 Speaker 5: Could we have less of this rhetoric about his five 1547 01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 5: billion package of disability benefits, so called reform being moral. 1548 01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 2: This is not about morality. 1549 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 5: This is about the Treasury's wish to balance the country's 1550 01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:43,280 Speaker 5: books on the back of the most vulnerable and poor 1551 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,440 Speaker 5: people in this society. 1552 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:48,840 Speaker 2: The problem is, you've got to balance the book somehow, 1553 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 2: don't you. 1554 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 11: Rod Well, Diane doesn't think so, and she's never thought so. 1555 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 11: She lives in a land of fantasy and delusion, and 1556 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,080 Speaker 11: she always has done. And as I say, it's as 1557 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,719 Speaker 11: long as the complaints are kept to her and people 1558 01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:07,320 Speaker 11: like her, then I don't think about the moral point 1559 01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:12,080 Speaker 11: she raises. So she's so obtuse. There is a real 1560 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 11: morality to this, and it's one which plays very, very, 1561 01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 11: very very seriously with labor voters. They do not those 1562 01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:23,720 Speaker 11: labor voters who do the right thing, who go to work, 1563 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 11: who save money, who work all the hours of God's sends, 1564 01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 11: and then see their next door neighbors lounging around doing 1565 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,440 Speaker 11: nothing because one of them has been diagnosed with ADHD 1566 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:39,439 Speaker 11: or something. You know, it infuriates the voters, and a 1567 01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,719 Speaker 11: partfuly infuriated the voters voters. Of course, it also recks 1568 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:43,400 Speaker 11: the country. 1569 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,360 Speaker 2: If we can't anymore, no exactly, and no one talks 1570 01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 2: about the reality of taking on a whole bunch of 1571 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:53,160 Speaker 2: extra debt, the cost of servicing that. I mean, this 1572 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,320 Speaker 2: is what we're finding out here. It's all very well 1573 01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:57,479 Speaker 2: to say, yeah, I'll spind this and be the good person, 1574 01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 2: but someone's going to pay the bill. 1575 01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,280 Speaker 11: Yeah, and I say yeah, I think we're all all 1576 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,160 Speaker 11: of us in the Western world. By Western world, I 1577 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 11: mean the advanced world, who have become accustomed to these 1578 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 11: huge welfare payments and suddenly our populations are expanding. We're 1579 01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:20,080 Speaker 11: becoming more latitudinous about who we have given these benefits to. 1580 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,519 Speaker 11: Back in the day, when I was, you know, fifteen sixteen, 1581 01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 11: to be disabled meant you had one leg, you know, 1582 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,040 Speaker 11: or something close to that. It didn't mean that you 1583 01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:32,440 Speaker 11: suffered from anxiety. 1584 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:33,360 Speaker 7: Do you know what I mean? 1585 01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:34,280 Speaker 11: It's changed. 1586 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Hares and COVID's helped the along. Now what's 1587 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 2: the reaction being like your way to the last forty 1588 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:42,559 Speaker 2: eight hours? Really but we've had the Trump potent call 1589 01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:44,519 Speaker 2: and then we've heard the Trump Zelenski call. What's the 1590 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 2: UK sign? 1591 01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,400 Speaker 11: The UK is keeping pretty quiet at the moment. I 1592 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 11: think Kasakis Dama, to his credit, has played a blinder 1593 01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 11: throughout this by managing to keep on side with the Ukrainians, 1594 01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:04,680 Speaker 11: the Europeans, and the America Cans. I think given the 1595 01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:09,960 Speaker 11: kind of talking which we're hearing from Ukraine that it 1596 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 11: seems as if that two hour conversation went very well, 1597 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:18,360 Speaker 11: indeed with Donald Trump. I still there is still some 1598 01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 11: annoyance in this country, particularly on the left, but I 1599 01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:26,400 Speaker 11: share it as well, the notion that Putin is being 1600 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,720 Speaker 11: forced to do nothing. You know, I have yet to 1601 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:34,640 Speaker 11: see a single concession that Putin is being asked to me. 1602 01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:37,680 Speaker 11: And if we continue along that track and we get 1603 01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,640 Speaker 11: to a piece deal which sees Ukraine carved up and 1604 01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:45,000 Speaker 11: not allowed to have European peacekeepers, not allowed to join NATA, 1605 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,160 Speaker 11: et cetera, et cetera, where is the break put on 1606 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:49,320 Speaker 11: Putin's ambitions. 1607 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,720 Speaker 2: I just don't see it, not the meaning, Rod, Thank 1608 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:56,720 Speaker 2: you for that, Rod, Little UK correspondents accorded to Nine 1609 01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,639 Speaker 2: News Talks, it'd be I've actually been in the same 1610 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 2: room as Vladimir Pusin before, and I can confirm for 1611 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 2: you that he is as tiny as he looks on TV. 1612 01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,679 Speaker 2: He came up to my chins, just a little wee 1613 01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:13,560 Speaker 2: little man. And I couldn't understand why this was in Vladivostok, 1614 01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,200 Speaker 2: at an APEX summit that then Prime Minister John Key 1615 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 2: went to he couldn't understand why he would have such 1616 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 2: big bodyguards when you're so little, because they make you 1617 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:27,720 Speaker 2: look tiny.

So now the Israeli military has said 1626 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,360 Speaker 2: that it's launching a targeted ground activity, so we're back 1627 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 2: boots on the ground back into Gaza.

So Ginny Anderson was on with 1636 01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,719 Speaker 2: the pollies with Mike yesterday and just gave an assurance, 1637 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,000 Speaker 2: So don't worry, Labour's not going to go changing everything wholesale, 1638 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 2: changing everything if they get back into government. Have a listen. 1639 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,880 Speaker 23: New Zealanders are tired of flicking back from one thing 1640 01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:44,439 Speaker 23: to the other. 1641 01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:45,800 Speaker 21: Yes, every three years. 1642 01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:50,000 Speaker 23: Yes we have some fundamental ideological problems, but it's also 1643 01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,840 Speaker 23: important that we keep making progress as a country. And 1644 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:55,559 Speaker 23: we're just going to be helped back if we keep 1645 01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,120 Speaker 23: flicking back and forwards. So if there's a big project 1646 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,479 Speaker 23: that's in play, that working okay, and there's some good 1647 01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:03,519 Speaker 23: things here, we're not going to undo it. 1648 01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 2: So one of the issues that was raised was charter schools. 1649 01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,840 Speaker 2: People saying okay, well, great, now that charter schools schools 1650 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:14,320 Speaker 2: are being established, now that they're back in business and 1651 01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,400 Speaker 2: Labor's not going to throw the baby out with the 1652 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 2: bath water, then fantastic good news. Ginny. Great announcement on 1653 01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,559 Speaker 2: Mike's show yesterday that oh no, no, no no, they've 1654 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 2: had to walk all of us back. So the Labor 1655 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 2: Party spin people have come out reconfirming that they would 1656 01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 2: have in fact abolished charter schools if elected to power again. 1657 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,040 Speaker 2: This is in the Herald this morning, off the back 1658 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 2: of Mike's interview with Finny yesterday. So just a little 1659 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 2: loose with the lips maybe, I mean, really we do 1660 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,240 Speaker 2: like them to talk about being bipartisan and you know, 1661 01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 2: let's keep this motorway going or let's keep this program going. 1662 01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:49,559 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, they are different 1663 01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:51,479 Speaker 2: parties and they are going to have to do something 1664 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,720 Speaker 2: differently otherwise they're just one and the same, aren't they. 1665 01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:56,760 Speaker 2: Nine minutes away from nine News Talk Sebi. 1666 01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 1: Ryan Bread on the Mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real 1667 01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:03,480 Speaker 1: Estate News Dogs. 1668 01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 2: D ten forty five this morning. That's not the time 1669 01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,400 Speaker 2: right now. That's when we'll get our GDP number four 1670 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,280 Speaker 2: quarter four last year, ten forty five this morning. We're 1671 01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 2: hoping it's going to be positive. We've been in the 1672 01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,479 Speaker 2: doldrums for a long time. In fact, the last two 1673 01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:19,000 Speaker 2: quarters were our worse since nineteen ninety one. Outside of 1674 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,160 Speaker 2: COVID and COVID we were all carried through by huge 1675 01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 2: sums of debt which we're now having to kindly repay. 1676 01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 2: So it's been bad. We hope it will get better. 1677 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,840 Speaker 2: We will know more at ten forty five this morning. 1678 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,679 Speaker 2: It has just gone now six minutes away from nine trending. 1679 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:40,280 Speaker 1: Now we're Yemma Swells keeping Kiwi's healthy all year round. 1680 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:41,920 Speaker 2: Remember when I asked you at the start of the 1681 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,440 Speaker 2: show if you were sick of Pedro. Pascal Apple apparently 1682 01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 2: is now also banking on the fact that you aren't. 1683 01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,320 Speaker 2: In fact that you love him, he starts in their 1684 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:55,320 Speaker 2: new ad for EarPods four. The trick around these ones 1685 01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:59,280 Speaker 2: is in its active noise cancelation. Have a listen. 1686 01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:16,880 Speaker 9: He wasn't, so he hasn't turned on the AC yet. 1687 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,920 Speaker 2: So Pike Jones has directed this. They've done a clever 1688 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,639 Speaker 2: We add Pedro living in two worlds, one with noise 1689 01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,200 Speaker 2: cancelation and one without. Obviously, the first part you were 1690 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 2: listening to was without the noise cancelation. This is the 1691 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,440 Speaker 2: beautiful sound of noise cancelation. 1692 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,479 Speaker 19: And the cool thing about this is what they've done 1693 01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:50,200 Speaker 19: is they've shot somehow They've dressed up all these dances 1694 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:55,080 Speaker 19: in this ad and costumes that have two halves, so 1695 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:57,120 Speaker 19: one half is sort of drab and boring and the 1696 01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:01,760 Speaker 19: other half is all sort of colorful, And so they're 1697 01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,160 Speaker 19: standing all at the angle facing the camera depending on 1698 01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 19: which part of the air that you're cool idea? 1699 01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:08,639 Speaker 2: Am I describing that? Clearly? 1700 01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 18: You know you are? 1701 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:09,600 Speaker 1: You are? 1702 01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,400 Speaker 2: You making perfectly see so the choreography. 1703 01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,559 Speaker 19: As Pedro Pascal walks fast them, they will spin around 1704 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:18,280 Speaker 19: and suddenly the world becomes more vibrant and colorful. 1705 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,320 Speaker 2: It's a great idea. How much did it cost them 1706 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,559 Speaker 2: to make? It's five minutes long. I can only imagine 1707 01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,439 Speaker 2: how many millions of dollars were spent on that. But 1708 01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 2: obviously we're talking about it, so you must have done 1709 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,360 Speaker 2: something right. I heard, and don't quote me on this 1710 01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,080 Speaker 2: and don't sue me for it, but that noise canceling 1711 01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 2: headphones can make you go not deaf, but can affect 1712 01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 2: your hearing quite badly because you can no longer place 1713 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:46,800 Speaker 2: where sounds are coming from. Everything is canceled. You're living 1714 01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,840 Speaker 2: in a bit of a hole. Your head's undersand can 1715 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,400 Speaker 2: it fixt your hearing, especially for kids who have grown 1716 01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 2: up with noise cancelation. 1717 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,479 Speaker 9: While then they need to go to the next level up. 1718 01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,920 Speaker 9: We have a spatial awareness and so that has the. 1719 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 19: Head tracking technology, so as you move your head, the 1720 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:05,960 Speaker 19: sound keeps coming from the direction that it was. 1721 01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 2: That's where we go from. Goodness, all right, go and 1722 01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:13,639 Speaker 2: watch the Pedro Pescal video. Apparently it's very good, even 1723 01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 2: if you ask sick of them.
