Also, we're 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: in the UK, we're in Australia and they have just 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: passed by the way across the Tasman The hate speech 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: laws will be across that with Murray Olds shortly. 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge was at. 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: The movies recently and the first three ads that came up, 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: you know when you watched the shorts beforehand, they were 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: kind of interesting. We had a fast food add I 17 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: think it was KFC, something chicken. We had a Burger 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: fuel ad and then for dessert to top things off, 19 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: we had a way Go viad. There was a chunky 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: woman climbing. I think I can say that there was 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: a chunky woman climbing stairs out of breath. Then there 22 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: was a chubby guy. See I'm being equal opportunity here. 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: Everyone gets a serve chubby guy struggling to get into 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 2: a wetsuit. And the message was simple, take this drug 25 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: and you will get your life back. And if you 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: look at the fattest, well the biggest countries in the 27 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: world obesity rates, this is we are a podium finish. 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: We are the third biggest in the developed world. The 29 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: Americans are. Unsurprisingly, you won't be surprised to hear that 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: they are ahead of us. If you go to the movies, 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: you can see calls and effect in the space of 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: about three minutes of ads. Too much process food plus 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: lack of exercise equals obesity divided now of course by wagovi, 34 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: which will potentially solve everything, or does it. 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 4: Now? 36 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: The debate is about who should pay. And I heard 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: an argument yesterday which is kind of interesting because you 38 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: hear about people putting all the weight back on once the 39 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: drugs wear off. If the state or the government pays 40 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: for the drugs, the argument goes that you might be 41 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: less likely to keep the weight off because you're not 42 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: as financially invested in the outcome as you would be 43 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: if you paid for it out of your own money. 44 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: Is it more effective if paid for by an individual? 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: That's the question. Now I don't know the answer to 46 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 2: that question. But the problem we have here in New 47 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: Zealand and look, it's not a bad thing in most cases, 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: but the problem we have in New Zealand which they 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: don't have in America, is a public health system, a 50 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: publicly funded health system where the cost of being obese 51 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: and heart disease, diabetes, etc. Is worn by all of us, 52 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: by everybody. They reckon the indirect costs of obesity as 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: the health epidemic that it is is somewhere between seven 54 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: and nine billion dollars a year in New Zealand. The 55 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: cost of handing out free way Gov, i'msure, but could 56 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: be as high as three million dollars a year if 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: everyone who really needed it got it. Now. Farmac's budget 58 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: is one point seven billion dollars a year right now, 59 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: so it is you know, double Farmac's current budget potentially. 60 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 2: So the question for farm Mac is simple, do the 61 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: costs outweigh the benefits? And if you fund the drug, 62 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: will people stay on it and actually keep the weight off. 63 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 2: In the US, you've got the Trump administration flipping the 64 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: food pyramid and on its head, basically putting protein at 65 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: the top. There's an Eat Real Food campaign that they're 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: running over there that make America healthy again. Given the 67 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: amount of fast food and wag over ads that we 68 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: are being bombarded with here in New Zealand, would it 69 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: not be sensible to also have some ads telling people about, 70 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: you know, eating meat, eating dairy, eating fresh fruit and vegetables. 71 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: Should we not be seeing ads like that every day 72 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: in this country? Bran is the number text love to 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: hear from you. Just gone ten after four. Now school's 74 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: in for almost in for the year, but without the 75 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: number of teachers that are needed with the new term 76 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: just days away. Schools are short hundreds of teachers and 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: principles and it's from early childhood centers right through to 78 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 2: secondary schools. About seventy five percent of vacancies are in 79 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 2: the North Island, with one hundred and twenty five in 80 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: Auckland alone. Joining me now is Vicky Barry, who is 81 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 2: principal at Northcote College. Good afternoon, good afternoon, how are 82 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: you good? Thank you? Is this a big problem at 83 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: your school. 84 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 5: Getting quality teachers is one of the most significant challenges 85 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 5: we face. That's at my school and across New Zealand. 86 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 5: We are working tirelessly to try and attract and retain 87 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 5: great teachers. And we are still a couple of teachers 88 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 5: short at Northcote College for the beginning of the new year. 89 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 5: So we're working hard to resolve that before students return. 90 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: Right, is that likely to happen or will you go 91 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: and to term a couple of teachers down. 92 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, we are confident that we'll be able to cover 93 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 5: the timetable, but we are working hard to find the 94 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 5: right people in particular subjects. So you know, there are 95 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 5: some real pinch points. Carpentry and construction is one for us. 96 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 5: We need a new teal Maori teacher which where yeah, 97 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 5: where we don't really need until the beginning of term two, 98 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 5: but would like to have them on board before then. 99 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 5: So yeah, So wasn't that the biggest difference for students? 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 5: Nothing else matters anymore? 101 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree with that. So carpentry, construction malded classes. 102 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: Who will teach them in the meantime? Do you have 103 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: relief teachers? How does it work? 104 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 5: We've got some flexibility within the timetable and the teachers 105 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 5: that we've already got. So we're making changes to the 106 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 5: timetable to cover it temporarily, but we look forward to 107 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 5: having permanent people in those roles. 108 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: And you said quality teachers, are you getting lots of 109 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: people who apply her? 110 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: Bit? 111 00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: Crap? 112 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 5: There are always applicants for jobs who we wouldn't appoint 113 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 5: And that's really like, I really appreciate you picking up 114 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 5: on that, because it isn't a shortage of supply of teachers, 115 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 5: it's a shortage of quality teachers. The issue so deserve 116 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 5: equality teacher. 117 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 2: I agree with that. What's wrong with them? The ones 118 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: you don't peck? 119 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 5: I think in New Zealand we are asking teachers to 120 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 5: do some really particular things. We need really good teachers 121 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 5: in New Zealand. New Zealand students are not likely to 122 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 5: sit in a row and hang off every word of 123 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 5: teacher says. They actually require an energetic, enthusiastic, quality teacher 124 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 5: to engage them and give them the success that they need. 125 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 5: I think teaching is particularly challenging in New Zealand, and 126 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 5: there's an equity issue. We need to do a great 127 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 5: job for all teachers some students are really easy to teach. 128 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 5: The rewards come from being successful with students who need 129 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 5: us more, students who benefit more from quality teachers. 130 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: That's the third time you mentioned New Zealand students. Are 131 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: you getting are you saying without saying? And I can 132 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: understand why you're cautious, but are you getting lots of 133 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: overseas applications? And when they come to teach in the class, 134 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: the students either aren't engaged or aren't energized by them. 135 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,559 Speaker 5: We avoid appointing anyone who who won't be successful because 136 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 5: actually that's not fear on the teaching colleague or on 137 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 5: the students. So there are applicants who don't make it 138 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 5: through our recruitment process because they can't demonstrate their aptitude. 139 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 5: And we know we advertise for the sort of teachers 140 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 5: that we want out. 141 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: Of interest, so that the classes that you know, you 142 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: don't fill in your average year. What percentage of the 143 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: applicants would you say are from New Zealand trained teachers 144 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: versus overseas. 145 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 5: Depends completely on the It depends completely on the on 146 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 5: the role. So sometimes, yeah, sometimes we would have more 147 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 5: applicants from overseas than we have from within New Zealand 148 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 5: and we're teachers, so that's you know, we're in a 149 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 5: creditor employer and we work with immigration in New Zealand 150 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 5: yet visas and yeah, we've employed some fantastic teachers from overseas. 151 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: All right, Vicky, interesting stuff, appreciate your time, Thank you 152 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 2: for being with me. That's Vicky Barry, principal at Northcote 153 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: College and Auckland. And Vicky was saying that they take 154 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: a bunch of teachers. They have had a bunch of 155 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: teachers from overseas in the past, some of them have 156 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: been very good. Also that she's been a principal there 157 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: for twenty years at Northcote and it was the teacher 158 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: shortage was a problem when she started. It's still a 159 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: problem now, like we're not fixing the problem is basically 160 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: the gist of it, and you need graduates, and to 161 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 2: get graduates, you need graduates who are going to get 162 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 2: good salaries. And do we have good salaries? Well, I mean, 163 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: if you go across the Testament, no we don't, not right, 164 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: I mean, well I think they're pretty good salaries, but 165 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: they're certainly not going to match what they're paying you 166 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 2: on New South Wales I would have thought sixteen minutes 167 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: after four, you're on News Talks MB nine ninety two 168 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: the numbers text and we'll be with Darcy next. 169 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: It's the Heather to Bussy Alan Drive Full Show podcast 170 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News TALKSB. 171 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 2: News Talks INB.

In 175 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: other words, we will have to pay more taxes to 176 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: fund it. It's a fair question, Ryan, this is an 177 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: easy fixed. Government needs to subsidize healthy food, fruit and vegetables. Look, 178 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: I completely agree it's a fantastic idea, but it's it's 179 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: a rainbows and butterflies and money falls grows on trees idea. 180 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 2: Because where are you going to get the money for 181 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: that to subsidize healthy food? I mean the only well 182 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: the only way really you could do it is by 183 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: taxing bad food. So you would have to text the 184 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: hell out of sugar or drinks or something to pay 185 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: for something like that. I would have thought, And Keith 186 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: is just winding me up. Keith says, why don't we 187 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 2: given the rise of obesity process food's a great opportunity 188 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: to promote a vegan diet. A beans over beef advert 189 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: before the film started would have been a great idea, Keith. No, 190 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: even my vegan friends and I've got two of them 191 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: are eating fish. And when it went up for lunch 192 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: of them on the weekend, they're eating fish. I'm like, 193 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: you got this is a joke. 194 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 3: Anyway, there was a sport with tab power plays better 195 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 3: than log figure odds are eating bet responsibly, dars. 196 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 6: I'm not racist, but come on, two of my best friends. 197 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 7: Aren't you? 198 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 6: That's what you said. That's what it came out to me, like. 199 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: Hi, how are you good? How are you? 200 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 6: I'm marvelous, good to see you again. 201 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: I am almost now Tony Brown he's got a no 202 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: exit course, so basically he has to stay with the 203 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: with the so Africans. 204 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 8: Do you really honestly believe in this day and age 205 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 8: that any contracts mean anything at all? 206 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: Ever, Well, you can be bought out of it. Yes, 207 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: So you think this is a nothing story. 208 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 6: Well it's a story. 209 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 8: But I look at sport contracts specifically. You can get 210 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 8: out of any sport contract you want if you want 211 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 8: to get out enough, you can get out and we'll 212 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 8: use the classic athlete one. 213 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 6: Oh you know for the family. I'm his home. Doesn't 214 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 6: know what's written down. 215 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 8: So if he wants to come and Jamie Joseph gets 216 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 8: the job and he wants to go up, but it will. 217 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: Happen, Darcy, I love it. How we've already moved on 218 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: to who's the number two? The media is made of 219 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 2: its mind. It's Jamie Joseph. And who's he going to 220 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 2: bring with him? 221 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 8: Well, it'd be bizarre if Jamie Joseph didn't get the job. 222 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 8: He's a guy came back from Japan to get the 223 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 8: job and he didn't get the job. 224 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 6: Second time around. Now he's hanging around game. Well, I'm 225 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 6: not the Highlanders. All the jobs come up. Yeah, they 226 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 6: put his hand up, of course, and he worked with 227 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 6: Tony Brown. I want to do go back to Japan 228 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 6: and grab Todd Blackheader. Andre, we don't know. My main 229 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 6: thing around speculating, Well, of course this nature a bores 230 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 6: a vacuum. They fall it full of talkback. 231 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: All Whites have announced a couple of matches at Eden Park. 232 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: This is in March, yep. 233 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 8: This is just before they go off. 234 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 3: To the FIFA World Cup. 235 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 6: Great good gel and Finland. 236 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 8: They're playing and it's there are a couple of high rate, 237 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 8: high enough ranking teams like you know, I think, oh 238 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 8: fifty sixties type of thing they both sit at. But 239 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 8: the more rehearsal this team get not necessarily about the 240 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 8: quality opposition, but the different styles South American and European 241 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 8: football very very handy. But it's a matter about getting 242 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 8: into a fly and a rhythm and understanding what you 243 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 8: are doing and how you play your game more as 244 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 8: how you defend against another game. 245 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: I have a quick question for you, because we've got 246 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: the Winter Olympics and next month COMM Games and FIFA 247 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 2: World Cup. In terms of New Zealand audience, have those 248 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: three events, what will be the most watched. 249 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 6: Fifif yeah, I would say FIFA dominates. 250 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: Everything and no want to watch COMM games? 251 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 8: Well probably not like will, but you know, I'm a 252 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 8: sport tragic, the sports tragic. 253 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 6: Will they watch it on TV? 254 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 8: I don't think they'll fly to America to watch it. 255 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 8: They might fly to Canada and Mexico to watch it, 256 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 8: but apparently quite a few tickets have gone here. And no, 257 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 8: we're not really going to go. There's a few people 258 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 8: a bit terrified about ice and I don't want to 259 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 8: go there. And I kind of get there too. 260 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 6: But no, FIFA is the mother of all sports. 261 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 2: One. This ye Hayden pattern is on your show here, 262 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: Yes he is. 263 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 8: He starts as WRC return at Monte Carlo. So we'll 264 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 8: talk to him about that this evening on. 265 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 2: The program, brilliant looking forward to it. Dars good to 266 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: see you. Minutes after four year on News Talks, Hebb. 267 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: Cutting through the noise to get the facts. It's Ryan 268 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: Bridge on hither duplicy Ellen Drive with one New Zealand 269 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: coverage like no one else. 270 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 3: News Talks B. 271 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: It is News TALKSB twenty six minutes after four Ryan, 272 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: I noticed that we spoke to a principle about this 273 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: teacher short so called teacher children. I mean, it is real, 274 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: but how dramatic is it? I guess is the question. 275 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 3: Ryan. 276 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: I noticed that the principal said, we have plenty of teachers, 277 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: but some teachers are not great communicators. I can't keep 278 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: the students engaged. It's been an issue with teachers that 279 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: aren't gifted as teachers. This comes back to the criteria 280 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: of accepting a certain type of person at teacher Training College. Well, 281 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what that certain or who that certain 282 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: type of person is, but I can remember because we 283 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: were talking about relief teachers. Some of the most memorable 284 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: teachers I had were relief teachers, I guess because they 285 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: would come in and do fun stuff like they didn't 286 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: really have to. You know that there was a woman 287 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: who came in and she would sing. I can remember 288 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: a teacher who would sing to us songs that we'd 289 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: never heard before, like Catholic primary school and she's singing 290 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: like pop hits. Not that I was at Gloria Vale, 291 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: but just you know, a little unusual, come in and 292 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: do something a little unorthodox and leave an impression. 293 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 9: So your suggestion to the education minister and all the teachers, 294 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 9: Ryan is that more of them need to start singing 295 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 9: pop music, and. 296 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: I think problems will turn around. I think so. I know, 297 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: I'm just saying that, don't write a relief teacher off. 298 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: I guess that's my point. They're not all you know, 299 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: They're not all bad and boring. Twenty seven minutes after 300 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: four news talks, ind B will get to Murray Old's 301 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: Out of Australia next and we will head to the 302 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: US on Greenland after five. 303 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 3: Hard questions. Strong opinion. 304 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on hither duplicy Ellen drive with one New 305 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: Zealand and the power of satellite mobile news talks in 306 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: Bay to father. 307 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: And news talks and be great to head the company. 308 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: We'll hit to Australia very surely, Murrayolds standing by four 309 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: shark attacts in two days. And now wait for it. 310 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: This is Australia being Australia, but a crocodile attack as well, 311 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: just to throw that in for good measure. Murray Oldserby 312 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: with usened just a second after five. It's Greenland out 313 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: of the US. Let's take a look around the world. 314 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news dogs, Eddy Drive. 315 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: From the UK. Starmer is calling for calm, calm the 316 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: farm please over Greenland. Trump's making all sorts of threats 317 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: at the moment. 318 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 10: Mature alliances are not about pretending differences don't exist on Greenland. 319 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 10: The right way to approach an issue of this seriousness 320 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 10: it's through calm discussion between allies. 321 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: Now there's a reason not to panic. And the former 322 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: economic advisor to Donald Trump, I think sums this up 323 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: rather well. We'll get to him a little later in 324 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: the show. Also over in Australia, Elbow is pushing his 325 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: new gun laws and hate speech laws through the Australian Parliament. Today, 326 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: he's had to abandon some bits of his proposed hate 327 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 2: speech laws because he couldn't get enough support for them 328 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: in the Senate. Basically, some Labor senators and backbenches are 329 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: a bit annoyed about this compromised by the PM. 330 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 3: Language radicalizes. 331 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 11: Language is a precursor to heat, and unless we address that, 332 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 11: we will not be completely safe. 333 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: Finally, this afternoon, a cow in Australia, man, we're doing 334 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 2: a lot of Australian news today, are we? Oh Austria. 335 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: Answer has corrected me. Thank goodness, because it was like 336 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: we might as well do this show out of Sydney, Austria. 337 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 2: An Austrian cow has taught herself how to use a broom. 338 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: An Australian cow obviously couldn't do that. They're not smart enough. 339 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: Veronica is their name, Swiss brown cow. She uses the 340 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: broom as a backscratcher when she needs to hit those 341 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 2: hard to reach spots. Research to say that the fact 342 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: that Veronica can use a tool like this suggests that 343 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: cows might be smarter than we thought they were. 344 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind 345 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 346 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: She may be smart, but she's still yummy and she right. 347 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: Let's go now to Murray Olds out of Australia. Murray, 348 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: good afternoon. 349 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 4: You're clearly not a vegan. Yeah, very good afternoon. 350 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: Now tell us the gun laws have gone through, is 351 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: that right? And the hate speech laws have gone through, 352 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: but there've been changes. 353 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, And look it's fascinating really to watch this. 354 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 4: And then we had Bondai Beach. 355 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 12: Now a month on we've got recalled Parliament and Labour's 356 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 12: basically getting through its two pieces of legislation, but with 357 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 12: help from different sides of politics. 358 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 13: It's interesting. 359 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 12: On the hate speech stuff, the Government refused to go 360 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 12: far enough of the Greens, and the Greens were necessary 361 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 12: in the Upper House to get it through because Labor 362 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 12: doesn't have the numbers upstairs does in the lower House 363 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 12: ninety four seats in the one hundred and fifty seed Parliament, 364 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 12: so Labor can basically do what it likes in the 365 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 12: lower House, you still need the House of reviewed Us 366 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 12: to sign off. So what's in the hate speech a laws. 367 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 12: Not everyone's happy as you played that clip there. The 368 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 12: hate speech laws will pass the lower House with the 369 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 12: order the Liberal Party right the country Rump the Nationals 370 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 12: who are also in what's left of the coalition. They 371 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 12: go to abstain these muppets say, we haven't had enough 372 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 12: time to look at it. The hats are too tight. 373 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 12: The governor of the Liberal Party reached a deal to 374 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 12: change some elements of the labor package. Labor will ban 375 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 12: specific hate groups. The Liberals insisted on all groups promoting 376 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 12: violence be captured under the legislation. That seems fair enough. 377 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 12: It sets out how hate groups can be identified and 378 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 12: designated and sanctioned, and requires that the Opposition leader of 379 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 12: the day be briefed if another a neo Nazi group 380 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 12: pops up. Because these halfwords have already disbanded on the 381 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 12: threat of this government legislation going through. There's to be 382 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 12: stronger visa laws and deportation laws, and the opposition gets 383 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 12: that as well. Laws will also be subject to a 384 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 12: review every two years. So yes, there's no specific anti 385 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 12: semitism clauses in this bill, but I think that's going. 386 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 4: To be revisited at a later date. As far as 387 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 4: guns are concerned. 388 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 12: The Nationals say, no, they're penalizing farmers because idiots in 389 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 12: the city go and shoot people. But the government says, well, 390 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 12: how many guns do farmers need. They've already got permission 391 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 12: to have ten guns to target feral animals goats and 392 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 12: kangaroos and. 393 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 4: Pigs and whatnot. Do you really need more than ten? 394 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 12: And you know, sporting shooters are saying, well, we need 395 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 12: different guns for different things. Well, okay, let's make exemptions 396 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 12: for these people if we get to that point. The 397 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 12: government's got what it wanted up to a certain point, 398 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 12: so let's see how they go. Now, the parliament will 399 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 12: go away once this stuff goes through, they'll come back 400 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 12: and you know there's going to be continued political sniping 401 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 12: over this. 402 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: You just know, well, so what's the big change. It's 403 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: now up to ten. You can't have more than ten guns? 404 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 4: Is that it ye had ten guns? You can't have 405 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 4: any more than ten guns. 406 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 12: The Nationals are saying, well, what about country people, we 407 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 12: need more than what the hell for? 408 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 4: Why do you need more than ten weapons? 409 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 2: Now? 410 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 12: You know you need a big shoddy for a fat 411 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 12: pig coming down the gully out you for sure, bam, 412 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 12: And that big pig's on the ground. 413 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: Murray, don't get in the water. Don't get in the water. 414 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: I mean it's bad enough on land, but don't get 415 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 2: in the water either. Around Sydney, I. 416 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 12: Said to you yesterday I had a very good friend. 417 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 12: I was spoken to him in the newsroom yesterday morning. 418 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 12: He said, Mark, my words, is going to be more. 419 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 12: There are a lot of bull sharks out there. The water 420 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 12: is very very murky where the ocean meets rivers that 421 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 12: are running off full of overflow because of weekend rain. 422 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 12: It's stirring up lots of bait, fish, deadhels are washing out. 423 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 12: To see, it's like a buddy shark buffet. And he 424 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 12: said just watch, and sure enough, not long after it 425 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 12: hung up from you, yesterday there was a shark attack 426 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 12: only three hundred meters down the beach from where I'm living, 427 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 12: and a young man had his leg very very badly, 428 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 12: very badly bitten. Apparently, the call went out for an 429 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 12: urgent supply of blood, and the param after they treated 430 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 12: this fellow on the beach, they high tailed it across 431 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 12: town heading to the hospital, and police were coming the 432 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 12: other way with thirteen bags of blood and they belt 433 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 12: at the blood into this kid as fast as they 434 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 12: could go. Saved his life and now he's recovering in hospital, 435 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 12: still critical but recovering. So extraordinary. But not only that, 436 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 12: that's four. That's four attacks Sunday up and down the 437 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 12: New South Wales coast. There was another one this morning. 438 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 12: A guy got off with the skin of his teeth. 439 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 12: He's in hospital too, but only with scrapes and cuts 440 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 12: and bruises. 441 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 4: He didn't lose anything. 442 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 12: But what about in queen I mean, I'm amazing anyone 443 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 12: who ever wants to come in, but he have a 444 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 12: holiday here because there's been a crocodile attack in far 445 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 12: North Queensland. 446 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 4: Again lucky. 447 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 12: A man was attacked near Ingham about nine o'clock this morning. 448 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 12: He had bites to his back, his legs and a hand, 449 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 12: but will puncture wounds. But I'll tell you what, if 450 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 12: you've been up close to a crocodile, hew, you get away. 451 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 4: From one of those things is amazing. But faster. They 452 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 4: are faster than the Olympic sprinters. 453 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 2: So what do you do in some of them? Just 454 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 2: stay home with the econn on, don't go out, don't 455 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: go out, don't go out. 456 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 4: That's right. 457 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 2: Good to have you on as allays. That's Murriold's out 458 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 2: of Australia, just gone eighteen minutes away from five now Bridge. Ryan, 459 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 2: this is about the well hext. I'll just quickly read you. 460 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: This is a shark expert David Baxter on the shark 461 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: attacks over in Australia. He says, the fact is, he's 462 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 2: saying this is not a joke. I'm not being alarmist. 463 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 2: This is dead set serious. Do not go in the 464 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 2: water for seven days anywhere near Sydney, he said. The 465 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 2: fact is the conditions were just right for a species 466 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 2: like a bull shark. We've got dirty water, a lot 467 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 2: of the runoffs from the creeks and the drains. It 468 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 2: stimulates the curiosity of the sharks. The shark is just 469 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: one big, living, sensory creature that can sense and taste 470 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: the water. And then they obvious you don't have hands, 471 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: so how do they feel about Well, they do it 472 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: with their mouth and as soon as they realize that 473 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 2: you're a human they hopefully stop attacking you. But in 474 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: the meantime they've severed one of your arteries. So that's 475 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: the problem for us. Seventeen minutes away from five, we'll 476 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: get to some of your feedback and news out of Parliament. 477 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: Next politics was centric credit, check your customers and get 478 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: payment certainty. 479 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: Boarding to five, we'll get to Azari Hell out of 480 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: Parliament just a second. The NATS are doing their conference 481 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: in christ Church and we'll hopefully get a well, we 482 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 2: should get an election date announced tomorrow. Now the big 483 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 2: story today, well in the world of show business is 484 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: Brooklyn Beckham and his wife and they're sort of feud 485 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: with Posh and Becks. And look, we'll get into this 486 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: after five point thirty tonight because we're going to speak 487 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: to a correspondent who's all across it, knows all the 488 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: ins and outs. It is Posh, the mother in law 489 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 2: from hell. Apparently she was inviting women who Brooklyn had 490 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: previously dated into the sort of families to making it 491 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 2: awkward for the new wife, all that sort of stuff, 492 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 2: the worst things you can imagine a mother in law 493 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: could do. She's being accused of doing by Brooklyn. Anyway, 494 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 2: the most interesting part of the story I didn't realize 495 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: they kept calling Brooklyn Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, and I was thinking, 496 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 2: is this what is this they have? So he has 497 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: taken her name and she has taken his name. They've 498 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: combined the name, so they are mister and missus Peltz Beckham. 499 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 2: And that's all fine, Like whatever, it's up to you. 500 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 2: It's your life. You go and live it. You do 501 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: what you want to do. But what happens when you 502 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: have kids? What do they do? You know people with 503 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 2: double barreled last names, what do your kids do? Do 504 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: they have like four barrel last names? Do you know 505 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: what I mean? Doesn't it become very hard for them? 506 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: And how do you pass that on? That would be 507 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 2: my only point on the story. Anyway, we'll find out 508 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: where the posh really is the worst mother in law 509 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: in the world. After five point thirty Ryan Bridge Shadow 510 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 2: is Aarria Hall in Wellington is Aaria? Good afternoon, Good afternoon, 511 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 2: It's good to be with you. So the National Party 512 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: caucus is that kicking off today or is it tomorrow? 513 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 14: Yeah? 514 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 15: National Party Caucus kicking off tomorrow in christ Church. State 515 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 15: of the Nation was yesterday. Quite a bit going. 516 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 2: On though, absolutely. Do you think we will get I 517 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 2: mean he's pretty much said we will. The election date. 518 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 15: Tomorrow, Yeah, The chatter going around right now, speculation on 519 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 15: when the twenty twenty six election will be We are 520 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 15: expecting that to probably be announced tomorrow. As I've said, 521 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 15: State of the Nation took place yesterday. The PM they're 522 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 15: highlighting a bit of a vision for the year ahead, 523 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 15: most of the focus on the economic recovery. Labor though 524 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 15: has been suggesting that National is playing a bit of 525 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 15: a blame game here, saying Chris Luxon should focus on 526 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 15: his own policy and the party he leads rather than 527 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 15: sort of pointing the finger. No new policies yet, No 528 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 15: election date was announced yet. The PM, though, did go 529 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 15: into some of the priorities for the election ahead, similar 530 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 15: things that he said before, notably increasing the superage. Also 531 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 15: a huge focus on keeping spending responsible. The big question though, 532 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 15: that we are expecting an answer to at the caucus 533 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 15: retreat when is the twenty twenty sixth general election. The 534 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 15: Prime Minister Chris Luxin will make that call. We're likely 535 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 15: getting an announcement either tomorrow or within the next few days, 536 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 15: so that will be absolutely massive. Election days usually are 537 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 15: set at these caucus retreats the start of the political year, 538 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 15: really putting a date on when the campaign is all 539 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 15: starting and also when it's all wrapping up because Parliament 540 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 15: is coming back soon. One thing, though, is for certain, 541 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 15: it will be on as Saturday that is written in 542 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 15: law has to be. There's also some other things to 543 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 15: get around here. It probably shouldn't be during a Rugby 544 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 15: World Cup match, which is quite hilarious to be honest. 545 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 15: Also probably shouldn't be around school holidays. But other than that, 546 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 15: it really is anyone's guess what Saturday, though it remains 547 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 15: to be seen that question will be answered tomorrow. A 548 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 15: lot of people's money is on November seventh. Some political 549 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 15: commentators crunching the numbers, there the last possible day it 550 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 15: can happen December nineth teenth, although you'd have to expect 551 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 15: sort of long ish coalition negotiations that may play a 552 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 15: factor in a potentially earlier date. People would not really 553 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 15: want parties to be chatting around Christmas time going through 554 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 15: those lengthy negotiations. I would be shocked if it was 555 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 15: in December. 556 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we certainly won't be. Now let's talk about 557 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: the Indian FTA. So we know LUCKX has made a 558 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: big deal of this, and it is a big deal. 559 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: I mean it is in twenty thirty years, it is 560 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: going to be a big deal if you look at 561 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 2: what China did for us. But are the other parties 562 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: on board New Zealand. You know Winston doesn't like it. 563 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: We know that, But what about labor? They're crucial. 564 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 15: Yeah, so the PM Chris Luxon, he has spoken fondly 565 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 15: of the FTA with India, as you say, something New 566 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 15: Zealand first has opposed, but something Labor is still yet 567 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 15: to have a position on. The PM says that it 568 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 15: will make businesses more competitive, it will create jobs here 569 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 15: at home and lift wages. It does show some difference 570 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 15: within the coalition. Winston Peter's calling it out doesn't seem 571 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 15: that Keen, meanwhile, acts seems supportive if they're saying it's 572 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 15: quite small in the grand scheme of immigration in New Zealand, 573 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 15: about sixteen hundred people a year on those temporary skilled 574 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 15: visas compared to about one hundred and forty thousand people 575 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 15: overall in the year in terms of immigration. We are 576 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 15: seeing that disagreement play out. I do have a statement 577 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 15: from the Labor Leader's office saying that Chris Hopkins has 578 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 15: outlined Labor will discuss the India FTA as a caucus. However, 579 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 15: the caucus hasn't met yet, so no word on whether 580 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 15: labor supports it or it doesn't. It will be a 581 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 15: big topic of discussion though. You'd imagine once Parliament comes back, 582 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 15: surely that would have to be one of the first 583 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 15: things on the agenda for labor. 584 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Avsari appreciate that. Thank is Zara House, senior 585 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 2: political correspondent with US from Wellington nine minutes away from five. 586 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: You would have to say, labor, our labor will have 587 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: will have no choice but to say yes to the 588 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 2: India FDA and help national pass it. I mean, look 589 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: at how the legacy of Helen Clark and fill GoF 590 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 2: with China. You can't you can't look at gift force 591 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 2: in the mouth nine to five news talks. You'd be 592 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: when we come back to tell you about Greenland. There's 593 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 2: a couple of commentators out of the US. Well, one's 594 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 2: not even a commentator. He's actually been in the business. 595 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: He is the vice president of IBM. He's had something 596 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 2: to say about Greenland, which I think is probably the 597 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: most sensible thing that's been said about in the last 598 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 2: twenty four hours. I'll tell you what it is next. 599 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: The headlines and the hard questions. It's the mic Hosking Breakfast. 600 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 16: Man profits an interest rates, so Amzda hiked the floating rates. 601 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 16: So today becunning in the squirrel mortgage's boss who suggests 602 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 16: that will add twelve millions to the bank's bottom lines, 603 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 16: and he's with us. 604 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 3: Trick hereers do others follow? 605 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 17: No, because all pan zeb was doing was adjusting to 606 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 17: where other banks were. 607 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: That's not Agoppoli. 608 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 16: That's a scandal. That's into the Minister of Finance to 609 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 16: fix the competition problem. 610 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 17: Well, no, it's not a scandal. It's just the way 611 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 17: the banking sister and our goopolis where you had a 612 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 17: zens on your show last year and nationally said you 613 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 17: put your price down. If I matches, then it's a 614 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 17: race to the bottom and no one wins. So why 615 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 17: Boba was almost implication who wins the banks? Who loses 616 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 17: the customer? 617 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 16: Back tomorrow at six am the mic Hosking Breakfast with 618 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 16: a Vida News Talk zeb five. 619 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: Minutes away from five, Trump and Greenland. We're going to 620 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: head to the US after five o'clock. Look, there's a 621 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: reason the markets aren't flipping out about this. They've learned 622 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 2: the lesson from a Liberation Day from last year and 623 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 2: they realize that he's just he's a lot of hottier 624 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 2: in talk. A lot of threats been thrown around at 625 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 2: the moment. He's not going to invade a NATO ally, 626 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 2: is he. It's a negotiating tactic. He wants a mineral 627 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: deal over Greenland. This is according to IBM's vice GM 628 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 2: and Gary Cohne. Now, he was Trump's advisor on the economy. 629 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 2: He was director of the White House National Economic Council 630 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 2: back He's a smart guy. He knows what he's talking 631 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: about back in Trump's first term. So he's done an 632 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 2: interview he said, I reckon, this is just a negotiation tactic. 633 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 2: We've seen it from him before. All he wants is 634 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 2: an increased military presence on the island. But he also 635 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: wants to negotiate an off take agreement for the largely 636 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 2: untapped supplies of rare earth minerals that they have in Greenland. 637 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 2: So there you go. I don't think that this is 638 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: going to be like everyone's saying World War three, you know, 639 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 2: the end of NATO. I don't know. I think that's 640 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: a bit overcooked. And if you're looking for more evidence, 641 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 2: I have it for you. There is and again another 642 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: smart guy who we've used before. Matthew Kronigg is his name. 643 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: He is with the Atlantic Council. This is a think tank. 644 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 2: He says. I think in a few weeks this will 645 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 2: all be resolved. We have had it within NATO disagreements before, 646 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 2: over you know, in the nineteen fifties over the Suez Canal, 647 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 2: and those have been resolved. He says. Both sides will 648 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: realize they have more to lose than they have to 649 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: gain from confrontation, and that should happen in pretty good order. 650 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: So we'll go to the US on Greenland after five 651 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 2: here on News Talk ZB plus. In keeping with our 652 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 2: theme of good news on the economy, we have fantastic 653 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 2: news and I'm going to share that with you after 654 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 2: five as well.

He says tariffs are coming to his European allies. 674 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 2: Some are worried NATO might be at risk of collapse. 675 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 2: And then there's a story about UTU for missing out 676 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 2: on the Nobel Peace Prize. US correspondent Jonathan Kurzley is 677 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 2: with US now. Jonathan can welcome to the show. 678 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 14: Ryan, A good afternoon, and good afternoon all the listeners. 679 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 2: So this whole let's start with the Nobel Peace Prize thing. 680 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 2: Is this a serious story or what? 681 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 12: Yeah? 682 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 14: This is quite extraordinary. I mean, well, we saw the exchange, 683 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 14: if you like, between story the leader of Norway and 684 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 14: President Trump today in which he essentially said, and that 685 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 14: is the US president that, considering your country, decided not 686 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 14: to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 687 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 14: eight wars plus I no longer feel an obligation to 688 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 14: think purely of peace. Now, it's quite an extraordinary remark 689 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 14: to point in the direction of Norway that essentially he 690 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 14: is saying to them, you didn't give me the peace Prize, 691 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 14: so now I'm just going to take Greenland, or at 692 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 14: least try to. He's been increasing his serious tone about 693 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 14: wanting Greenland over the course of the last couple of weeks, 694 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 14: and then they started way back just after he was inaugurated. 695 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 14: He essentially said yeah, I want Greenland, and everybody went, oh, okay, 696 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 14: but you know how why and really and now it's 697 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 14: deadly serious, deadly serious, to the point that you had 698 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 14: the British Prime Minister se Keir Staler up today in 699 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 14: an almost love actually moment trying to say to the 700 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 14: US President back off. This is a move for Greenlanders only, 701 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 14: and for the Danes because it is a Danish territory. 702 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 14: But this exchange was just extraordinary. 703 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's talk about the what does he want? 704 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: Why is he doing it? He can send more troops 705 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 2: in there right now if he wanted to, but he's not. 706 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 2: Is it the minerals he's after? 707 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 14: It's entirely natural resources? I mean, he talks about it 708 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 14: and wanting to strategically because he says that there are 709 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 14: Chinese ships and Russian ships floating around. Well, I mean 710 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 14: in a way, yes, Russian ships go into the Arctic 711 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 14: is a long long way from China. It's the other 712 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 14: side of the Arctic from China. But this is entirely 713 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 14: about resources. It's entirely when his cabinet ministers say it 714 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 14: is strategic, it is strategic. But it's strategic from the 715 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 14: essence of critical minerals and natural resources that he wants 716 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 14: to be able to get access to. Some of these 717 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 14: resources are critical for the construction of missiles and the 718 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 14: bolstering of defense resources. So it's critical on that front. 719 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 14: But think of it too that everything that Donald Trump sees, 720 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 14: he sees through the lens of business, he sees through 721 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 14: the lens of growth, and he sees through the lens 722 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 14: of power. And in his idea, having greenland and having 723 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 14: its resources would bolster the US economy, would bolster the 724 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 14: US military, and would increase his own strength in the world. 725 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 14: And that's exactly why he is saying this, and that's 726 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 14: exactly why he's trying to make this move. He's going 727 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 14: to go to Davos, the World Economic Forum in Switzerland 728 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 14: tomorrow and will make a speech the day after, and 729 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 14: all of his visit he's going to be framed entirely 730 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 14: around what is he actually doing with Greenland and what 731 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 14: is he actually going to say to the European leaders 732 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 14: that he sees there, because they're telling him, and they're 733 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 14: pretty united on this, that they want him to back down, 734 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 14: to calm the language, to move back from it. The 735 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 14: European nations have been increasing their own military presence. That's 736 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 14: been part of his argument is that Europe should be 737 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 14: trying to bolster its own backyard and protect its own 738 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 14: backyard a little bit better. But for a huge part 739 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 14: of this for him is it is about getting access 740 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 14: to critical minerals and natural resources. 741 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 2: Jonathan appreciate that Jonathan Kursley, a US correspondent, course, he 742 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 2: can get the critical minerals without taking Greenland by force 743 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,239 Speaker 2: or even buying Greenland. All that would require is a 744 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 2: deal and that is potentially what he is trying to 745 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 2: negotiate right now through Force ten after five Brian Bridge 746 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,959 Speaker 2: Fletcher has taken a leaf out of Fonterra's book sold 747 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 2: part of its business to the French Vanci Construction has 748 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 2: agreed to buy Fletcher's construction Arm for at least three 749 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen million bucks, possibly more. Still needs Overseas 750 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: Investment Office approval. ComCom has to get involved as well. 751 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 2: Mark mister investment director Craig's Investment partners with me. Mark, 752 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 2: good evening, Good to have you on the show. 753 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 14: Thank Ryan. 754 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 2: Now is this well? First of all, what are the 755 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 2: markets think of this? 756 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 19: Market liked it. The share price was up a little 757 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 19: more than two percent today, which is a good result 758 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 19: because it was a week day. The index was down 759 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 19: and there's a sea of red on the screen because 760 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 19: of all the concerns around what we're seeing overseas that 761 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 19: you just were speaking about with the previous guests. So 762 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 19: to be up two point four percent, biggest top, biggest 763 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 19: positive mover in the indeed X fifty. I think the 764 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 19: market likes what it sees. 765 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: Given the problems, and we know about the problems, they've 766 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 2: been well documented over the last few years. Does this 767 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 2: look like the start of a turnaround? 768 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 19: Well, I think they'll need to get a few runs 769 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 19: on the board from here to give us a bit 770 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 19: more evidence of that. But shareholders will be happy it 771 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 19: won't be a surprise. They have signaled us for a 772 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 19: little while now. List division has been really challenging for 773 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 19: a while, you know, delays, cost over runs, low margins, 774 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 19: and Fletchers does want to simplify its business, reduce its 775 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 19: debt levelsocus a little bit more on the things that 776 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 19: it wants to move forward with. So this is a 777 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 19: big step towards doing that. It will allow the company 778 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 19: to pay down debt. They haven't had a dividend since 779 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 19: twenty twenty three, so I think they want to get 780 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 19: into a position where they can reduce debt levels and 781 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 19: start paying dividends again. So it doesn't completely get them 782 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 19: out of the dog box that they've been them for 783 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 19: many years now, but it's a step in the right direction. 784 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Mark Mark mister Craig's investment partner's investment director 785 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 2: with us. It is twelve after five Bryant Bridge to China. 786 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 2: They are trying to double the birth rate. So currently 787 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 2: for it's one child per woman that is the current 788 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 2: birth rate. They need to double that. Of course, replacing 789 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 2: your population you need two point one, so they are 790 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 2: far off, way off it. Thank you. One child policy. Well, 791 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of factors really have gone into it, 792 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 2: but that certainly didn't help. Now what they are doing 793 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 2: to try and fix this is a couple of things. 794 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 2: One is increase the tax on condoms. This is true, 795 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 2: this true story out of China. So the condoms will 796 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: be subject to a thirteen percent value added tax as 797 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 2: of January first, and they will make childcare and matchmaking 798 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 2: services duty free. So you basically get if you want 799 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 2: to have kids, that's going to be cheaper to do that, 800 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 2: and they will try and make it more expensive to 801 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 2: stop you having them. So yeah, there you go. Good 802 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 2: luck birth control pills they're also going up in price. 803 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 2: This is true, This is happening in China. Questions will 804 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 2: that work? And if you are if the reason that 805 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 2: you are, you know, do you just go on? It's 806 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 2: thirteen percent more for a condom? I just like use one. 807 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,919 Speaker 2: Good luck kids. Fourteen after five News Talks VB News 808 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 2: TALKSB is sixteen minutes after five. We were just talking 809 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 2: about the falling population rate or birth rate in China. 810 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,720 Speaker 2: It's also having an effect on the A to milk 811 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 2: share price. We'll talk about that after six with an 812 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 2: expert from Forsyth Bard architects in two days.

What's going on with the 820 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 2: bull sharks. 821 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 20: Bull Sharks are a tropical species that's very common in 822 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 20: coastal waters, but they also live in freshwater as well, 823 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 20: and so at this sort of time of the year, 824 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 20: they're pushing further south and that they can actually be 825 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 20: reasonably common in the Sydney area, particularly inside the harbor. 826 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 2: And it's the rain is making them kind of what 827 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 2: is it doing exactly to their senses that that's making 828 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: them potentially aggressive. 829 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 20: So bull sharks are adapted to feeding on carrion that 830 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 20: has washed down from large tropical rivers, so that you know, 831 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 20: used to eating the carcasses of land animals that get 832 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 20: swept down down to the sea and floods, and so 833 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 20: they quin very strongly to freshwater plumes resulting from food floods, 834 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 20: and so they're in there looking for things, you know, 835 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 20: large large things, either in trouble or already dead, to 836 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 20: feed on. 837 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 2: Not humans, but because there's fresh water, they're like it's 838 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 2: like when something's in the oven, you can smell it. 839 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean so they humans aren't part of their 840 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 20: normal diet. But they're one of the few species of 841 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,479 Speaker 20: sharks that are built. You know, they have a heavy 842 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 20: enough build to actually take on something the size of 843 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 20: a human being. So they're in there looking for a 844 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 20: free meal and anything struggling in the water. And people 845 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 20: often look pretty awkward uncordinated in the water compared to 846 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 20: a shark. So yeah, times like this, you know, they 847 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,480 Speaker 20: can be mistaken for dinner. 848 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 2: Clinton, would you be going surfing off the coast of 849 00:42:58,880 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 2: Sydney right now? 850 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 20: Well, I don't go surfing full stop, but yeah, conditions 851 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,919 Speaker 20: look fairly sketchy, and certainly there's a lot of bull 852 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 20: shark activity. It sounds like it's right up and down 853 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 20: the sort of the northern New South Wales coast. I 854 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,879 Speaker 20: have been in the water with three very large bull 855 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 20: sharks off Queensland, but fairly sort of you know, calm conditions, 856 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 20: clear water. Could see what was going on, we could 857 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 20: both get the measure of each other, so I didn't 858 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 20: feel too concerned. 859 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 2: And that was on purpose or by chance, well yeah, 860 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 2: kind of it was actually by chance. 861 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 20: I was speaking diving on the wreck of the Young 862 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 20: Gala and pop down over the side, right down onto 863 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 20: the bottom and had three big bull sharks come and 864 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:47,320 Speaker 20: checking out. 865 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 2: If they can see you. Water's clear, there's no fresh 866 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 2: water running off, there's been no rain. Are they actually 867 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 2: non threatening to us? 868 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,239 Speaker 20: Generally most sharks, you know, having a clue what a 869 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 20: human being is, and they tend to tend to avoid 870 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 20: objects they're not familiar with. But you know, at times 871 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,839 Speaker 20: bull sharks have attacked people in clear water off quite 872 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 20: often surfers, but also sometimes people jumping off boats and 873 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 20: wore jetties. You know, they sort of kee into those 874 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 20: sorts of stimuli like loud splashes and things like that, 875 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 20: and jetties and boats that they're often used to scavenging 876 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 20: around those for off or throwing off them. So you know, 877 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 20: a person off a boat or a jetty can seem 878 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 20: like something falling or being thrown off of one of 879 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 20: those platforms. 880 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 2: The most important question, do we get bull sharks in 881 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 2: New Zealand? 882 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 13: No, we don't. 883 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 20: There have been the occasional report, but they almost always 884 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 20: turned out to be misidentifications of bronze whalers with close relatives. 885 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 3: But they're fish heaters. 886 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 20: But yeah, the waters would have to warm up an 887 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,319 Speaker 20: awful lot before bull sharks would make home here. 888 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: Good news and thank you. Clinton Duffy, curator of Marine 889 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 2: Biology at Auckland Museum, on the shark attacks across the 890 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 2: Tasman twenty one minutes after five that there's a guy 891 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 2: over there, like a shark expert in Sydney who said, 892 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 2: quite seriously, he used a lot of expletives in his 893 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 2: post because he wanted to get the point across. Do 894 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 2: not go swimming for seven days in the beaches around 895 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 2: Sydney at all. It is a feeding frenzy, is the 896 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 2: way he described it. They are so riled up. Do 897 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 2: not get in the water. So there you go. If 898 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 2: you've got friends and family there, you might want to 899 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,839 Speaker 2: pass that on, especially if they're going out surfing. Now 900 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 2: it is twenty one minutes after five. Next I'll tell 901 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 2: you some good news about the economy. After five thirty 902 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 2: we'll get into the Beckhams. 903 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 3: Digging deeper into the day's headlines. 904 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: It's Ryan Bridge on hither DUP c Ellen dry with 905 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: one New Zealand coverage like no one else news talks, 906 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 1: there'd be. 907 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 2: Five twenty four on news talks. There'll be more good 908 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 2: news on the economy front for you, and we always 909 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,319 Speaker 2: keep your cross the numbers here on ZB as you know. 910 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 2: And it feels like forever since we've been able to 911 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,280 Speaker 2: share some good news on the PMI and the PSI front. 912 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 2: PSI I, remember as your services sector, quite important because 913 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 2: it's about two thirds of our GDP and it's been 914 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 2: in the doldrums for years actually now, so for the 915 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,799 Speaker 2: first time in two years it has moved into expansion territory. 916 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 2: It is growing fantastic, sitting at fifty one point five. 917 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 2: Remember anything over fifty is growth, below is contraction. We're 918 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,400 Speaker 2: still below the average fifty two point eight, but we 919 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 2: jumped four point three points on November for December, so 920 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 2: that is fantastic news. Now, the PMI for December, this 921 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 2: is your manufacturing index that was sitting at fifty six 922 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 2: point one last week, up four point four points on 923 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 2: November and above the average which is fifty two point five. 924 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 2: The number again fifty six point one yesterday we had 925 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 2: more positive numbers on the residential construction front, which I 926 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 2: shared with you. This means it is official. A recovery 927 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 2: is happening. It is real. All the usual caveats apply, 928 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 2: which you probably sick of people saying by now that 929 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 2: it's unevenly felt. The recoveries are that way in nature, 930 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. But just go down to your 931 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 2: local shops, go to your local restaurant. You can see 932 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 2: this happening in action. It doesn't mean that we will 933 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 2: all feel rich overnight, of course, but it does mean 934 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 2: that people are spending again, and that has got to 935 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 2: be a good thing. Inflation is coming down, mortgages are 936 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 2: getting cheaper. Let's not forget in our cards swiping frenzy. 937 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,360 Speaker 2: Let's not forget how we got here in the first place. 938 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 2: Let's make sure that we don't let governments and reserve 939 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 2: bankers get carried away next time. Ryan Bridge by twenty six. Now, 940 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:40,759 Speaker 2: one of the things you might go and spend your 941 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 2: money on is movies, and boy, do you spend a 942 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 2: lot of money going to the movies these days. I 943 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 2: was very pleased to hear some comments made by a 944 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 2: woman named Clear Bins now Clear Bins is the creative 945 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,759 Speaker 2: director of Picture House Cinemas in the UK. She has 946 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 2: just been awarded this year's Bafter for Outstanding British Contribution 947 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 2: to Cinema. So congratulations to Clear. Claire has come out 948 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 2: and sharpened a message and delivered a message to the studios. 949 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 2: Three hours is too long for a movie. If you 950 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 2: want people to go to the cinema, make your movies shorter. 951 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 2: This is her message and it appears to be getting through. 952 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 2: Killers of the Flower Moon was two hundred and six minutes? 953 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,280 Speaker 2: Did anyone go see that? The Bruceless was two hundred 954 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 2: and fifteen minutes? Avatar. I tried to take my niece 955 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 2: to nephew to Avatar. They said, no way, three hours 956 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 2: twenty no thank you. One battle after the other that 957 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 2: was more than three hours. I did go to that. 958 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 2: So it seems like, you know, at least from the 959 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,799 Speaker 2: cinema perspective, we could have someone on our side to 960 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 2: try and get the movie length down. Bad for your back, 961 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,760 Speaker 2: I mean, how you meant to hold on to your cope? 962 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 2: So you're going to go to do your business at 963 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,760 Speaker 2: some point, don't you? So keep them short?

Australia's biggest coal plant, 974 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,399 Speaker 2: coal fired power plant, was going to close down. It's 975 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,839 Speaker 2: been given a two year extension so we'll stay open 976 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 2: three or twenty twenty nine. This is in New South Wales. 977 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 2: They did a message to the AX today. A couple 978 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 2: of problems. One, well, they're worried about blackouts and you 979 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 2: would rather have coal power, coal find power then no 980 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,799 Speaker 2: power at all. The other problem they've got is the renewables. 981 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,720 Speaker 2: The uptick and renewables has been lower than expected. Surprise, surprise, 982 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 2: So what is happening. Well, they are keeping open the 983 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 2: coal fired power plants and there are a couple of 984 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 2: them around Australia and they will be staying open for longer. 985 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 2: And they spoke on the sky today to Shadow Industrial 986 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 2: Relations Employment. Mister Tim Wilson talked about the extension for 987 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 2: this power station three to twenty twenty nine. Reacting to 988 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 2: the news, but also the deals that the government state 989 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,120 Speaker 2: governments in New South Wales and Victoria are doing. 990 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 21: Hey, listen, we know full well that Victoria's got secret 991 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 21: deals with the coal operators or coal generators to extend 992 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 21: their life. I expect New South government, New South Wales 993 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 21: government will do the same. They all talk all renewables, 994 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,759 Speaker 21: but in reality it's a very different story. Of course, 995 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,839 Speaker 21: they've had the same complete u turn with gas. There's 996 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 21: a point where economics and physics sticks energy. It's not 997 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,520 Speaker 21: just ideology as the Labor Party would like. 998 00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, quite a reasonable thing to say, I would have thought. 999 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 2: And you know our government who changed the rules on 1000 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 2: methane and our targets etc. And there was all of 1001 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 2: this hoo ha, all of this pushback from the media 1002 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 2: and from the green groups. They said, oh no, no, 1003 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 2: our trading partners will hate this, you know, will be 1004 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 2: in breach of our trading agreements. I'm sorry, you're extending 1005 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 2: the life of coal fired power plants in Australia and 1006 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 2: giving us stick about cows burping to feed people. No, no, 1007 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense. Bran twenty three away from Sex Now. 1008 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 2: Big story of the day, of course, is the Beckham 1009 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:45,760 Speaker 2: family feud getting quite spicy. David and Victoria's eldest son, Brooklyn, 1010 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 2: has been estranged from his superstar appearance for most of 1011 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. In fact, it apparently it's been a 1012 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,600 Speaker 2: couple of years now, but up until now it's been 1013 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 2: pretty uncertain. It's been under the covers. What caused the riff? 1014 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 2: Today Brooklyn posted a lengthy statement on instant. He says 1015 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 2: the feud is all about his parents disapproval of his wife. 1016 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 2: This is the billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz. But what exactly 1017 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 2: are the gripes? Well here to break it down, as 1018 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,320 Speaker 2: Alexandria Funnel, a TV producer and host of the Beefing 1019 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 2: podcast Alexandria, good evening, Hello, how are you very well? 1020 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,879 Speaker 2: Thank you? So what's Brooklyn said? 1021 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 3: So? 1022 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 22: Basically, he's taken to Instagram, where all family feuds should 1023 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 22: be aired not and he's basically confirmed some of the 1024 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,560 Speaker 22: long held, long standing rumors, which was about what the 1025 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 22: gripes are. So he said to me, the most interesting 1026 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 22: thing is him saying his mother stole his first dance, 1027 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 22: so instead of it being his wife, they had famous 1028 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 22: singer Mark Anthony up there singing a romantic song and 1029 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 22: he introduced the most beautiful woman in the room, Victoria Beckham, 1030 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 22: up for the first dance. And apparently Victoria got up 1031 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,280 Speaker 22: there and danced with Brooklyn instead of his actual wife, 1032 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 22: and Brooklyn has said she danced. It was one of 1033 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 22: the most humiliating experiences of his life. So that's probably 1034 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,760 Speaker 22: the most salacious thing to come out, and that's long rumored. 1035 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 22: So a lot of people who were there have been 1036 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,879 Speaker 22: talking about this so the last year or. 1037 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 2: Two, and that's weird. I mean, let's be honest, that's weird. 1038 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 2: But the other interesting one Alexandria is that she was 1039 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 2: posh was apparently bringing girls into their lives from Brooklyn's 1040 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 2: past to make it awkward for the new wife. 1041 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 22: Correct. So the rumors around that was that I don't 1042 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 22: know whether Victoria was introducing them, but one of the 1043 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:45,320 Speaker 22: younger Beckham brothers was dating one of Brooklyn's exes, bringing 1044 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,239 Speaker 22: them into the fold inviting them to family events, which 1045 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,320 Speaker 22: made Brooklyn and his partner obviously very uncomfortable. 1046 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 5: But if he. 1047 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 22: Suggested that that's what happened, then I do I tend 1048 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,080 Speaker 22: to believe him. 1049 00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's with this smoke, This fire is 1050 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 2: the What does this read like to you? Alexandria is 1051 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,919 Speaker 2: entitled the rich kid who's upseted as parents? What's the beef? 1052 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 22: Well, that's the first thing that you think, right, You think, well, yes, 1053 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 22: because he accuses them of only caring about Brand Beckham. 1054 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 22: But we need to think Brand Beckham has, you know, 1055 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,160 Speaker 22: supported the entire of the family for a long time. 1056 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 22: None of them have jobs, none of them earn any money, 1057 00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 22: so in a lot of ways it's important that they 1058 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,680 Speaker 22: do it protect Brand Beckham. So on one hand, you think, well, yes, 1059 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 22: all they care about is Brand Beckham, and that would 1060 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,520 Speaker 22: be annoying as a kid. But at the other end 1061 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,600 Speaker 22: of the spectrum, it's like, well, none of you have 1062 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 22: jobs or your own brand outside of Brand Beckham. 1063 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:42,280 Speaker 5: So what do you expect. 1064 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,840 Speaker 22: You can't have it both ways. But yeah, from a 1065 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,480 Speaker 22: rich kid's perspective, I guess he only knows what he knows. 1066 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 22: Similar to Prince Harry, and their version of. 1067 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,319 Speaker 2: Trauma is that it does have a hairy whiff to it, 1068 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 2: doesn't it a mix? 1069 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,240 Speaker 22: Apparently they have teamed up up as well. They're friends 1070 00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 22: in La. Yeah they are, and they're using their pr 1071 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:06,759 Speaker 22: firm allegedly. 1072 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:11,239 Speaker 2: Alexandria, So you your job tele here, TV producer, host 1073 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 2: of the Beefing podcast.

I've always hated it, 1103 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 11: but I just heard what your guests said then, And 1104 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 11: look that dance thing is really odd. I mean, you 1105 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 11: know that the first dance is with the person that 1106 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,439 Speaker 11: you are marrying or have married, So why on earth 1107 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 11: the mother would get up?

But 1108 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,360 Speaker 11: he sounds immature and posh, sounds like she's been a 1109 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,879 Speaker 11: bit tone death to some of this stuff too. But look, 1110 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,719 Speaker 11: you wouldn't have brand Beckham, or the Kardashians or any 1111 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 11: of these without this kind of stuff going on.

I think, yeah, 1117 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 23: it's sad because actually the most wonderful relationship you know, 1118 00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 23: that we know of is harmonious family relationships. But they 1119 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 23: take what is it humility because we don't know it all. 1120 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 23: They take forgiveness because often those we love most stuff up, 1121 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 23: and they take privacy. And I know it's at the 1122 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 23: end of the guy's post, it's like, oh, we want 1123 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 23: are peace, privacy and happiness?

So obviously you were US correspondent for 1149 00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,840 Speaker 2: many years. You know the place in and out. Is 1150 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 2: this a negotiation team? Do you think from Trump to 1151 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 2: get a mineral deal or do you think he serious 1152 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,720 Speaker 2: about actually, I don't know, maybe even taking military action. 1153 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,520 Speaker 23: Look, I think I think it's sort of geopolitical version 1154 00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,919 Speaker 23: of the out of the deal extended. And I don't 1155 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,640 Speaker 23: know if it's about minerals. I do think it's about geopolitics. 1156 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 23: We are certainly in the post rules based order era. 1157 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 23: This is the age of empire. I mean just just 1158 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 23: recently Canada signed a trade deal with China, and the 1159 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 23: PM said, we have to take the world as we 1160 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,840 Speaker 23: find it, not as we want it to be. International 1161 00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 23: law was, actually, we think about it, the rules system 1162 00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 23: was based on American power. Now, having said that, I think, 1163 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,320 Speaker 23: you know this deal, Trump is behaving like a three 1164 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 23: year old on a sugar binge. So you know, why 1165 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,360 Speaker 23: would you trust America? And the other thing about this 1166 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,440 Speaker 23: is like, you know, he's complaining, Oh, I'm doing this 1167 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 23: because you didn't get the Nobel Prize. You didn't give 1168 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 23: me the Nobel price. Didn't that nice lady from Venezuela 1169 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 23: give them the prize? Side, I don't know what the 1170 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 23: problem is. 1171 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 2: You got it eventually, didn't he It's a bit like that. 1172 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 2: I keep saying, you know, America. You know, if you 1173 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 2: had to pack between Russia and China, America, I mean, 1174 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,440 Speaker 2: you would go with America every time, because at least 1175 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 2: it's a democracy. But I've noticed now I keep saying 1176 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 2: it's a democracy for now. 1177 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, and I think that that comparison is becoming less 1178 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,880 Speaker 11: and less plausible to be frank, I mean, I agree 1179 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 11: with Tim. I think no one should try and rationalize anything. 1180 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 11: Donald Trump says he is a meglo, maniac, petulant, seventy 1181 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 11: nine year old child, and I look, I do tend 1182 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 11: to agree that the Denmark debacle is all about power. 1183 01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 11: I do think it's more geopolitical potentially than the minerals 1184 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 11: that seems to have come from one chap who's actually 1185 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 11: in the AI business that depends on these minerals, So 1186 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 11: that's interesting. I've been watching a Netflix series called Hitler 1187 01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 11: and the Nazis Evil on trial. It is chilling, and 1188 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 11: the similarities to the way, you know, Hitler came to 1189 01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 11: power and what Trump is doing surrounding him off with 1190 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 11: people is just frightening. And I just hope that the 1191 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,640 Speaker 11: world just keeps standing up to Trump as much as possible. 1192 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,439 Speaker 2: I don't think that he is a rational human being. 1193 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 2: I don't think that he's something we should aspire to be. 1194 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,560 Speaker 2: But comparing him to Hitler. 1195 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:18,120 Speaker 11: Oh absolutely, And what he's doing, you know, when you no, no, no, 1196 01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 11: when you look at actually what Trump has done is 1197 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 11: so far as creating civil and rest unrest internally around Minneapolis, 1198 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,480 Speaker 11: exactly what Hitler did, being the person that's going to 1199 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:35,760 Speaker 11: save the disenfranchised Germans after World War One, that's what 1200 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:40,000 Speaker 11: Trump is doing to the disenfranchised Americans. Seriously watching it, 1201 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 11: I'm going, oh my god, they could be talking about 1202 01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 11: Donald Trump. 1203 01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,400 Speaker 23: Well, the Hitler came out of a populist agenda, there's 1204 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,720 Speaker 23: no question. But I have yet to see Trump rounding 1205 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 23: up people based on the fact that they're Jews and 1206 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 23: confining them too. 1207 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:57,600 Speaker 11: Well, he's certainly running them up based on his alleged 1208 01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:03,280 Speaker 11: or they're alleged immigration status. So he's certainly sidelining people, 1209 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 11: which is exactly what Hitler did. 1210 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not doing it on the basis of race. 1211 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 2: Is He's doing it on the basis of their immigration 1212 01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 2: immigration status, which is illegal immigration. 1213 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 11: Yeah, well, yeah, I know, but the principle is still 1214 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 11: exactly the same. 1215 01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:18,920 Speaker 2: And I don't think it is, Ellie, I don't think 1216 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 2: it is. I think it's I think it's very different. 1217 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 2: One was about, you know, sending Jews to the. 1218 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 21: Gas concentration camps. 1219 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 2: This is about rounding up migrants have come into the 1220 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 2: country illegally. 1221 01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:38,560 Speaker 11: That's not what happened initially you watched the documentary. What 1222 01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 11: Hitler did was pick up people, pull up people, round 1223 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 11: up people who were against him. It wasn't Jews. Initially, 1224 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,080 Speaker 11: those desk camps didn't come up till right till the 1225 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 11: end of the war. Initially it was political prisoners and 1226 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,520 Speaker 11: they put them into concentration camp. It's exactly the same 1227 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 11: thing Trump's doing. 1228 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 23: We might have to agree to disagree. 1229 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 2: I think we might. I think we might, and I 1230 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 2: think we might leave it there too. Thanks both so 1231 01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,400 Speaker 2: much for being with PS and sim Wilson and Ellie 1232 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 2: Jones on the huddle. It is nine minutes to six. 1233 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,840 Speaker 1: It's the Heather dupas Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1234 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:16,000 Speaker 1: iHeart Radio powered by News TALKSB. 1235 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 2: News Talks B. It is six minutes away from six's 1236 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,600 Speaker 2: You can imagine text Betweene's gone nuts after Ali said 1237 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,200 Speaker 2: that Trump was basically Hitler, which is never a great 1238 01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 2: way to start an argument. I mean, yeah, you can, 1239 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 2: you can be against and you can hate some of 1240 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 2: the stuff that he's doing. Which are you really advancing 1241 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 2: an argument by saying he's comparing him to Hitler? I 1242 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,760 Speaker 2: don't think so. Because Hitler sent six million Jews to 1243 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,680 Speaker 2: concentration camps and killed them, didn't he? And Trump is 1244 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,680 Speaker 2: nowhere near that, is he He's just well, I mean 1245 01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 2: not just, but he is deporting migrants who are in 1246 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 2: the country illegally at this stage, Ryan can't believe you 1247 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 2: let that raving lunatic on your show. Ryan, what a 1248 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 2: statement comparing Trump to Hitler's discreting that was ridiculous. Ryan, 1249 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:08,000 Speaker 2: That lady is totally and morally wrong. Even though I 1250 01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 2: don't like Trump myself, that was outrageous. I mean, you 1251 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,200 Speaker 2: can just imagine it goes on and on and on. 1252 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 2: Leta's talk about something else, Shall we produce a. 1253 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 9: Law is just pouring some cold water on the text machine. 1254 01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 9: Smoke's coming out of it. 1255 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, it's steaming. Hey, let's talk about sharks, shall 1256 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 2: we in Australia? And oh no, actually no, that's what 1257 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,919 Speaker 2: wasn't sharks. It was the they've just passed their hate 1258 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 2: speech laws and they've passed the gun laws. And we 1259 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 2: were talking to Murray Old's the earlier in the show, 1260 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 2: and the gist or the essence of the gun law 1261 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,439 Speaker 2: changes is you can't own more than ten guns. And 1262 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,240 Speaker 2: farmers are like, well, I might want to own more 1263 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 2: than that, or I do own more than that, and 1264 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,440 Speaker 2: I need more than that. And there was lots of 1265 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 2: feedback about that. And this one is from George Ryan, 1266 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,200 Speaker 2: do you play golf. If you do, how many golf 1267 01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 2: clubs do you have? If it's more than one, is 1268 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 2: that not too many? Or you use different clubs for 1269 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 2: different jobs. It's the same with firearms, different firearms for 1270 01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 2: a different purpose. Thank you, George. And I think this 1271 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 2: is part of the problem that we city folk don't 1272 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,520 Speaker 2: understand country folk, and country folk don't really understand the 1273 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,440 Speaker 2: mindset of city folk. That is the problem they're having 1274 01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,920 Speaker 2: in Australia with the gun laws right now, so that 1275 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,959 Speaker 2: more water to go under that bridge. On the sharks, Ryan, 1276 01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 2: too many sharks. We need to go back to eating 1277 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 2: shark and our fish and chips taste good and no bones, 1278 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:33,760 Speaker 2: says David Ryan, which is about the least controversial thing 1279 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 2: you could say on this show right now, Ryan, what 1280 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 2: an ideal time for Tourism New Zealand to whip up 1281 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 2: some ads to be played in Australia with our nice 1282 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,480 Speaker 2: safe waterways and thank you Timm. You're not the only 1283 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 2: person to text in about this today.

We'll get to show Paul blox and 1308 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 2: the rock star economist out of the out of Australia 1309 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:25,600 Speaker 2: for US, I should say in de Brady is in 1310 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 2: the UK. First, China's birth rate has slowed to a crawl. Basically, 1311 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 2: it's bad news for a two milk. Why because A 1312 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,439 Speaker 2: two milk does a lot of business in China. When 1313 01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 2: the news came out that their birth rate was now 1314 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,360 Speaker 2: only six point six three per one thousand people, A 1315 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 2: two's share price plummeted. In fact, the share price fall 1316 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 2: was so bad, so sudden, that the ACX actually paused 1317 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,880 Speaker 2: trading for a bit and asked A two for a 1318 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 2: please explain? Is everything okay? Is there anything more you 1319 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 2: need to tell us? Matt Montgomery is a full size 1320 01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 2: bar senior and listening's with me now, Matt. Good evening, 1321 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,160 Speaker 2: good evening, right, thanks having me, Good to have you. 1322 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 2: Why is this so bad for A two? 1323 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 7: Yeah? So, I mean I wouldn't go as far to 1324 01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 7: say so bad. But if you think about the context 1325 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 7: of A two, about two thirds of their revenue is 1326 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:18,640 Speaker 7: Chinese formula, and it's the majority of their earnings. So, 1327 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:23,760 Speaker 7: as you mentioned birth Chinese birth rates were out yesterday afternoon. 1328 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:27,040 Speaker 7: They were down seventeen percent year on year and about 1329 01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:31,479 Speaker 7: ten percent below what we had expected, and a similar 1330 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 7: magnitude relative to what A two had expected, so it's 1331 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 7: the key value driver for the business. But what I 1332 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,200 Speaker 7: would emphasize is that you know, this has been a 1333 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,320 Speaker 7: trend for some time in China, the declining birth rates, 1334 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:47,599 Speaker 7: and that hasn't precluded A two from growing. So they've 1335 01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,240 Speaker 7: been able to take market share, and clearly looking forward 1336 01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 7: for them to grow, they're going to have to continue 1337 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,639 Speaker 7: to take market share in light of these trends. 1338 01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be fewer babies, but they're still a 1339 01:08:58,760 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 2: hall of a lot of them, right. 1340 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, So seven point nine to two million was the 1341 01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 7: number yesterday. That was down from nine point five to 1342 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 7: four million in the year prior. It's quite a skip 1343 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:14,040 Speaker 7: change when you think about your twenty sixteen twenty seventeen 1344 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,920 Speaker 7: berths was sort of sixteen seventeen eighteen million a year, 1345 01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 7: so it's been quite a sharp reduction versus less than 1346 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,519 Speaker 7: a decade ago. But as you point out, it's still 1347 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 7: quite a big number. 1348 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,040 Speaker 2: How's share price doing now? Is it recovered? 1349 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 14: Yeah? 1350 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:32,360 Speaker 7: So share price fell about eleven percent yesterday on the 1351 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 7: insiet X. It fell a further one percent today, so 1352 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,759 Speaker 7: you know, meaningfully more muted reaction and as you mentioned, 1353 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 7: it got put into Holt on the Australian Stock Exchange 1354 01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,880 Speaker 7: yesterday as part of a regulation over there, when a 1355 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,759 Speaker 7: stock falls by more than ten percent without an announcement 1356 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 7: by the company, it automatically goes into a halt. 1357 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 2: Where else are they looking to do business? Man, Well, 1358 01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously they're not just doing business in China, 1359 01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 2: But where are the growth opportunities? 1360 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, so you two, as I mentioned, two thirds of 1361 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 7: the revenue as in formula in China. That still remains 1362 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,719 Speaker 7: an area of growth with them, as I mentioned, because 1363 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,920 Speaker 7: they are taking market shares. Outside of that, You've got 1364 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 7: value drivers through the liquid milk business in Australia and 1365 01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:23,120 Speaker 7: the US. And actually, I think more interestingly than both 1366 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 7: of those is that they're starting to expand into the 1367 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:30,480 Speaker 7: Vietnamese market from an formula perspective, and they are expanding 1368 01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 7: the product range within China, so going into the adults 1369 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 7: and senior powders market in China, which is growing sort 1370 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:40,240 Speaker 7: of twenty to thirty percent perandom for them, and they 1371 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 7: have been launching sort of kids powders within China to 1372 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 7: try sort of prolonged the life cycle of their consumer base, 1373 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 7: transitioning from infant formula then into kids powder. So yes, 1374 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,839 Speaker 7: the headline numbers week, but they are diversifying the business 1375 01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 7: and having success and growing share, but also that divestification. 1376 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 2: Hey have you done your big rate race yet? 1377 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 4: Matt? 1378 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:06,559 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1379 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:06,880 Speaker 14: I did. 1380 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,679 Speaker 7: I did a decent round a month until ago. 1381 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,760 Speaker 2: So what was it again? Remind me? 1382 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,559 Speaker 7: I was the Keffler Challenge down on the Kiffler track 1383 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:22,000 Speaker 7: around Milford. Yeah, one of four point fifties. I wasn't alone, 1384 01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:25,920 Speaker 7: but I wasn't exactly breaking course records like like some people. 1385 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 2: Where'd you place? 1386 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:35,920 Speaker 7: I was sort of top top quart ale, let's say. 1387 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 2: And was it sixty k's Have I got that? 1388 01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:38,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1389 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 2: It was good on you. You haven't broken yourself.

This is an unlikely 1394 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,360 Speaker 2: Game of Thrones reunion that's strolling this up. Jason Mamaia 1395 01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,360 Speaker 2: has appeared on The Today's.

You would have had to think he's basically 1405 01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:30,960 Speaker 2: a local here in New Zealand, as you know. 1406 01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 3: Now. 1407 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 2: Star kept his tips close to his chest, though, but 1408 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 2: he did recommend one thing. 1409 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 25: You gently want to go to him and I, and 1410 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,280 Speaker 25: you want to meet some of the you know, go 1411 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,760 Speaker 25: to one of the Ewi's and so I'm hoping their 1412 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,720 Speaker 25: production allows them to come in. You want to have 1413 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:45,519 Speaker 25: like home, and you want to have an ace meal 1414 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,599 Speaker 25: a traditional way, and I think I will tell her 1415 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,160 Speaker 25: where the place is to go, because I don't want 1416 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:51,639 Speaker 25: the world to. 1417 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:52,240 Speaker 3: Know where to go. 1418 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:54,720 Speaker 2: Well, it sounded like he was kind of struggling for 1419 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 2: an answer there to me. I don't know about you, 1420 01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 2: but you'd have to say, I mean, there are may 1421 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,280 Speaker 2: and cultural experiences you can do here in New Zealand, 1422 01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 2: and they should be one hundred percent applauded, and they 1423 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,519 Speaker 2: are and people love them. But I think the main 1424 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 2: reason people come to New Zealand is to look at 1425 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,479 Speaker 2: the mountains, isn't it. You know, there's beautiful things, the 1426 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,640 Speaker 2: beautiful natural things to see here, and that would be 1427 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:20,080 Speaker 2: the driving force. But you cannot deny once they get here, 1428 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 2: when they go and do those cultural experiences, they absolutely 1429 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 2: froth over them, don't they, particularly the Americans.

Farmers 1468 01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:23,920 Speaker 26: are growing lots of grass around the country, no real 1469 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,679 Speaker 26: droughts on at the moment with this sort of weather. 1470 01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,800 Speaker 26: And also they've been encouraged to add supplements into the 1471 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,519 Speaker 26: diet produce a bit more milk, so that might send 1472 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,639 Speaker 26: a signal to the buyers that there's plenty of milk 1473 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 26: coming out of New Zealand. We will wait and see 1474 01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:40,600 Speaker 26: on that one, but I put it to you that 1475 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,560 Speaker 26: even as steady as she goes result tonight would be 1476 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:44,160 Speaker 26: a good one. 1477 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. The last thing we want is 1478 01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 2: more collapse. Now, do you want to have a look 1479 01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 2: at the into the crystal ball for us, for the 1480 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 2: rural sector more generally. 1481 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 26: Well, why not, Ryan, you're reading my mind talking about 1482 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,759 Speaker 26: crystal balls. Start with dairy. That's the biggest act in town. 1483 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,240 Speaker 26: It's got Look, I don't have a doubt that it's 1484 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:09,640 Speaker 26: got a great future. Although it is it's not surprising, 1485 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,760 Speaker 26: but the ease at which other countries were able to 1486 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,799 Speaker 26: turn on the tap in response to these high global 1487 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,599 Speaker 26: prices we've had in the past season has yet another 1488 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:22,679 Speaker 26: salient reminder of the cyclical nature of commodities. So dairy yep, 1489 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,519 Speaker 26: it's calling. It's jets awe but at the moment, but 1490 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:31,880 Speaker 26: good future. It's not so easy for competing nations to 1491 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,800 Speaker 26: turn on the tap when it comes to beef and 1492 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,320 Speaker 26: sheep meat production. You know, we've had drought in the 1493 01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 26: US and Australia. The resultant rebuilding of the herds and 1494 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 26: the flocks has limited the number available for slaughter. We've 1495 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 26: had disease outbreaks in South America. So I say good 1496 01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 26: on the sheep and beef farmers, Ryan. For too long 1497 01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,920 Speaker 26: they've been the poor relation of the dairy farmers. And 1498 01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:57,880 Speaker 26: I hope, and I'm hoping like hell, the renaissance of 1499 01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 26: pastoral farming for red meat production will halt the ecological 1500 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:06,479 Speaker 26: disaster that has been the planting of monoculture pines on 1501 01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 26: highly productive pastoral land and shock horor in some cases 1502 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,679 Speaker 26: arable land. Now I'll move to forestry, our fourth biggest 1503 01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:17,160 Speaker 26: export earner. I reckon the world's a washed with trees, 1504 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,040 Speaker 26: and I'm a wee bit worried about the future for 1505 01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 26: forestry and especially the future for sending unprocessed logs on 1506 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,919 Speaker 26: a slow boat to China, will the cost outweigh the benefit. 1507 01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:33,320 Speaker 26: This is high volume, lower value. We're sending them over 1508 01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,120 Speaker 26: there to be boxing for building sites as surely a 1509 01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,759 Speaker 26: rich irony in the fact that we're planting pine trees 1510 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,400 Speaker 26: for sequestration carbon farming. If you want, when we have 1511 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,920 Speaker 26: such a high carbon footprint, if we chop them down 1512 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 26: and export them. But Ryan, I'll finish on this very 1513 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 26: positive note. If I gaze into my crystal wall for 1514 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,519 Speaker 26: twenty to fifty a quarter of a century from here, 1515 01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,480 Speaker 26: I think the star of the stable will be horticulture, 1516 01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:02,599 Speaker 26: more particularly key we thru it's a nutritional super food. 1517 01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 26: It's ready packed for export. You don't have to wrap 1518 01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 26: anything around it. It's got a skin. And in a 1519 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,240 Speaker 26: world wanting to eat healthy, burgeoning middle class and the 1520 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 26: likes of India where we've got a free trade deal, 1521 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 26: kiwi fruit is ideally poised. And the other thing to 1522 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:19,840 Speaker 26: think of when you think of kiwi fruit as no 1523 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:23,800 Speaker 26: animal must make the ultimate sacrifice when you eat kiwi fruit. 1524 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:25,120 Speaker 26: There's my thoughts, Ryan. 1525 01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,360 Speaker 2: Do you are you skin on or skin off? Because 1526 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 2: someone told me that you should with kiwi fruit, always 1527 01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 2: eat the skin, that's where most of the nutrients, says. 1528 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true or not. 1529 01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:38,240 Speaker 26: I'm skin off on that one. Although I used to 1530 01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 26: love kiwi fruit green, now I've progressed to kiwi fruit 1531 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,960 Speaker 26: gold and I can't go back to green. But apparently, 1532 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,519 Speaker 26: and the host tells me this, and he is the 1533 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,360 Speaker 26: dying of all health matters, that green kiwi fruit's better 1534 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 26: for you than gold. The gold tastes better, and the 1535 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,000 Speaker 26: Asians love the red. And as long as we don't 1536 01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 26: get these terrible, terrible weather events, fingers crossed for the 1537 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,559 Speaker 26: North Island in the next couple of days. Look, I 1538 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,759 Speaker 26: reckon kiwi for it's a superfood that's got a super future. 1539 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,320 Speaker 2: Okay, great, you're right here. If there was anyone was 1540 01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 2: going to know which of them you should eat for 1541 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:12,840 Speaker 2: health benefits, it would be it would be Hosking. Appreciate that, 1542 01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. That is Jamie McKay, Host of 1543 01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 2: the Country. Twenty one minutes. 1544 01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,759 Speaker 3: After six Bryan Bridge Friday. 1545 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,599 Speaker 2: We're getting December quarter a CPI updates, so you know 1546 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,640 Speaker 2: that we had last year the September quarter it was 1547 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 2: three percent. June was two point seven. So we ticked up. 1548 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,840 Speaker 2: Are we going to tick up again or even hold 1549 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,679 Speaker 2: at three percent? That wouldn't be great because Arna Bremen, 1550 01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,479 Speaker 2: the Swedish new Swedish head of the Reserve Bank of 1551 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 2: New Zealand, she's making her call next month first call 1552 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:43,040 Speaker 2: on the well, I mean not just to her but 1553 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:47,639 Speaker 2: also the board on the OCR. So wouldn't be great 1554 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:50,040 Speaker 2: if we were at three percent. If we were higher, 1555 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,679 Speaker 2: it would be probably terrible because she has said quite 1556 01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:58,799 Speaker 2: openly the focus is on and solely on inflation. Twenty 1557 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 2: two after six show next. 1558 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: Efforts to do with money It matters to you? The 1559 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:09,719 Speaker 1: Business Hour with Ryan Bridge and Mass Insurance and investments. 1560 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,599 Speaker 3: Your futures in good hands used talk ZBB. 1561 01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 2: Six twenty five on zb You know yesterday we were 1562 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,800 Speaker 2: talking about chocolate and the fact that coca beans are 1563 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,799 Speaker 2: so expensive now is very hard to come by, and 1564 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:25,240 Speaker 2: therefore they're using substitutes for chocolate, and we talked about 1565 01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:30,280 Speaker 2: food likes or chocolate like substances. Today's reading this interesting 1566 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:34,240 Speaker 2: article about food like substances. In general. We are eating 1567 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,400 Speaker 2: more and more of them. In fact, in America they 1568 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,799 Speaker 2: reckon half you die is not actually food it's food 1569 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,280 Speaker 2: like substances. It's just stuff that they've made up to 1570 01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,960 Speaker 2: be like food when it's not, or it's ultra process 1571 01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,760 Speaker 2: to the point where it's hardly recognizable. You know, to 1572 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:48,479 Speaker 2: keep it on the shelf, to give it the shelf life. 1573 01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,040 Speaker 2: They pump it full of lots of crap. There's a 1574 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 2: guy called Dr. Mark Hyman, and he said, I just 1575 01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,439 Speaker 2: thought this was an interesting way to look at it. 1576 01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,439 Speaker 2: He said, it's it's not like medicine food. This is 1577 01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:05,000 Speaker 2: whole food. It's not like medicine. It is medicine, pointing 1578 01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 2: out that thousands of bioactive compounds and plants influence inflammation, detoxification, 1579 01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,439 Speaker 2: and disease risk. Everything you put in your body, he says, 1580 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,559 Speaker 2: is a drug that's going to help you or harm you. 1581 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:21,680 Speaker 2: Food functions as medicine because what you eat actively influences 1582 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 2: that inflammation, metabolism, your overall health. And it's not just 1583 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 2: him saying this, it's healthy experts everywhere. And I think 1584 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:32,720 Speaker 2: we do forget that whatever you're eating, you know what 1585 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 2: you are what you eat basically, and if you're eating crap, 1586 01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 2: well you'll look like crap too, won't you. 1587 01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:42,000 Speaker 3: There's no business like show business. 1588 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know a Netflix show is about to start 1589 01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 2: because you know that sound. Have you been watching Netflix 1590 01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,840 Speaker 2: and thought, why are they explaining the plot to me 1591 01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:57,200 Speaker 2: like I'm a five year old? Well, it's not bad writing. 1592 01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:01,479 Speaker 2: Turns out this is actually mandated by the studio. For years, 1593 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 2: you would have heard these rumors that Netflix makes writers 1594 01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:08,800 Speaker 2: craft their dialogue in a way that viewers who are 1595 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,960 Speaker 2: scrolling on their phones instead of actually watching the show 1596 01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:14,960 Speaker 2: can still understand what's going on At Terrible of Us. 1597 01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,040 Speaker 2: Until now this was all just a rumor. But Matt 1598 01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 2: Damon and Ben Affleck they've got a new film out. 1599 01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:25,080 Speaker 2: They've confirmed it, promoting the Netflix action movie on the 1600 01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:29,160 Speaker 2: Joe Rogan Experience. They revealed that some of the sneaky 1601 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,640 Speaker 2: tricks that Netflix is using to keep us glued to 1602 01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:36,480 Speaker 2: our screens. Damon says, the company requests that plot details 1603 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 2: get repeated four or five times for half paying attention audiences, 1604 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:44,360 Speaker 2: and even action sequences now have changed to adjust to 1605 01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:44,919 Speaker 2: the formula. 1606 01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,760 Speaker 27: You usually have like three set pieces, one in the 1607 01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,599 Speaker 27: first act, one on the second one, and the third 1608 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 27: and now they're like, can we get a big one 1609 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,240 Speaker 27: in the first five minutes to get somebody.

It seems that Netflix machine hasn't done 1616 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:14,160 Speaker 2: too much damage though. The film which is called Rip, 1617 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,439 Speaker 2: is on Netflix now. It's getting really good reviews.

We'll also get to Paul Block, some 1631 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:06,680 Speaker 2: chief economists at HSBC in just a few seconds. Out 1632 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,600 Speaker 2: of Australia. This is from Hamish because we were just 1633 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,880 Speaker 2: talking about the new Netflix show from Matt Damon and 1634 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 2: Ben Afflick. The rip it's called how Much says It's okay? 1635 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,559 Speaker 2: Watched it the other night. Gets an IMDb rating of 1636 01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,759 Speaker 2: six point nine, which is about right he reckons, Damon 1637 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:25,880 Speaker 2: and Afflick carry it, although towards the end it gets 1638 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,920 Speaker 2: a bit ott. What is it with shows going like 1639 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 2: no one knows when to call a time? And I 1640 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,679 Speaker 2: guess that you become a victim of your own success 1641 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:38,200 Speaker 2: because if a show rates, then the producers want more 1642 01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:41,599 Speaker 2: because it's rating and they can make money out of it. 1643 01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,720 Speaker 2: But then you end up with four seasons when it 1644 01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 2: should have only been two or two and a half 1645 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 2: or three. So I think that that's a big problem 1646 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:55,719 Speaker 2: that particularly Netflix has. I've been watching one called Tehran 1647 01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 2: about it's an espionage one. It's about spies and it's 1648 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:06,479 Speaker 2: about moss Ad in Tehran and Revolutionary Guard. It's quite good, 1649 01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 2: but I am in a season and a half in 1650 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 2: and I've just realized that it's three maybe even four 1651 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 2: seas I think three seasons at this stage with one 1652 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 2: to be renewed three seasons long, and I'm like, how 1653 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,240 Speaker 2: long can you drag this out? You know? But they do, 1654 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,599 Speaker 2: they do, and obviously if people keep watching, they'll keep 1655 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,559 Speaker 2: making money. It'll keep happening twenty three. 1656 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 3: To seven, Ray and Bridge. 1657 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,320 Speaker 2: Never mind the old cautious talk about green shoots. Confidence 1658 01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:35,360 Speaker 2: is back in our economist predictions for the year ahead, 1659 01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,439 Speaker 2: which is a great thing. HSBC predicting above trend GDP 1660 01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 2: growth two and a half percent this year. This is 1661 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 2: up from a very weak point four last year. There 1662 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,760 Speaker 2: is a warning though an election year, politicians should be 1663 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:49,240 Speaker 2: focusing on pro growth economic reform to lift productivity. Paul 1664 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,519 Speaker 2: Bloxham is HSBC's chief economists with me now, Paul good evening, 1665 01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:58,400 Speaker 2: Good eight. Why are you so confident about our economic recovery? Well, 1666 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,200 Speaker 2: I mean it's underway. We've seen the PMO, I was 1667 01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 2: seeing the PSI. So the ingredients are there, that's right. 1668 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 28: Well, so you've got quite a few of the ingredients, 1669 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,840 Speaker 28: I mean the ingredients. We think primarily that all interest 1670 01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,160 Speaker 28: rates have come down a long way, and so monetary 1671 01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:15,639 Speaker 28: conditions are quite loose and below neutral and mid blow 1672 01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,960 Speaker 28: neutral cash rates setting from the RBNZ and that should 1673 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,080 Speaker 28: provide some support. I think it already is, and that's 1674 01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,599 Speaker 28: partly reflecting in the pmis and the consumer and business 1675 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 28: confidence consumer spendings picked up a bit, so that's part 1676 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:29,519 Speaker 28: of it. And then the other part of the story 1677 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,720 Speaker 28: is that well, dairy and meat prices have still been 1678 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:34,880 Speaker 28: are still fairly high. Dury prices have come off their peaks, 1679 01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 28: but they're still quite high relative to history. So we've 1680 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,960 Speaker 28: seen quite a large boost of rural incomes. And the 1681 01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,320 Speaker 28: first step had been that the rural sector seemed to 1682 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 28: be using a lot of that to pay down debt, 1683 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 28: and it of course had more of a supporting effect 1684 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:48,720 Speaker 28: in the South Island, but we think that this year 1685 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,839 Speaker 28: we're going to start to see more of it spread 1686 01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:54,560 Speaker 28: through the broader economy. Is the farm sector booster income 1687 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 28: starts to spit through to other parts of the country 1688 01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 28: as well, and that's typically how it works. 1689 01:26:58,240 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 13: It usually takes it's. 1690 01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:01,800 Speaker 28: Usually that lag might have been a bit longer this 1691 01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,280 Speaker 28: time around, but we think those two are the big 1692 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,160 Speaker 28: forces that are likely to be driving the recovery that, 1693 01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,400 Speaker 28: as you say, is starting to show signs of arriving 1694 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:10,639 Speaker 28: already and is. 1695 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,400 Speaker 13: Likely to leave lift growth. 1696 01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:15,639 Speaker 28: And finally, I mean you've had a couple of years 1697 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 28: of really weak growth in New Zealand, you'd say almost 1698 01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:22,200 Speaker 28: three years actually of really weak conditions and finally you're 1699 01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 28: starting to get an upswing in growth. In fact, you know, 1700 01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:27,080 Speaker 28: one of the other things to point out is that 1701 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:28,840 Speaker 28: if you do get two and a half percent growth, 1702 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 28: which is our forecast, we're sort of the top edge 1703 01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,519 Speaker 28: of consensus, you'd be outpacing the growth across the Tasman. 1704 01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,080 Speaker 13: I don't think Australia is going to be able to 1705 01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:36,759 Speaker 13: grow that fast. 1706 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,519 Speaker 28: In fact, I think Australia can't grow really much faster 1707 01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:41,280 Speaker 28: than it's growing already, which is just a bit over 1708 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:44,920 Speaker 28: two percent. And so New Zealand might very well outperform 1709 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 28: Australia this particular this year. 1710 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:50,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about time too. We've got a lot of 1711 01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,600 Speaker 2: making up to do. Of course, Now what about the 1712 01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 2: tea word you the tariffs and Trump because he's markets 1713 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:01,000 Speaker 2: haven't reacted, you know, Greenland for example, strong tariffs around 1714 01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,280 Speaker 2: markets haven't reacted in the same way that they might 1715 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 2: have reacted twelve months ago. Have we kind of learned 1716 01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,320 Speaker 2: to listen from that and are we there for less 1717 01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,000 Speaker 2: concerned about a disruption on that front? 1718 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 28: Well, I think there's a lot in that and it's 1719 01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,120 Speaker 28: a big question I mean, I think if you look 1720 01:28:17,160 --> 01:28:21,519 Speaker 28: back over the past year, the experience last year that 1721 01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,120 Speaker 28: the tariff effect wasn't as large as was expected. That 1722 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 28: was partly because actually, in the end, the tariffs weren't 1723 01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 28: as high. In the end, we also saw that, you know, 1724 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 28: the story, the story was still quite well supported by 1725 01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,640 Speaker 28: a lot of other factors like the AI expansion and 1726 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 28: the data center investment story, and that kept global trade 1727 01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,040 Speaker 28: holding up pretty well. Now we expect as we run 1728 01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:47,799 Speaker 28: through this year that that's going to be the primary, 1729 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:50,760 Speaker 28: a key source of growth too. We're reasonably positive on 1730 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 28: global growth this year, but you have to keep in 1731 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:57,000 Speaker 28: mind that it could play out differently. It depends on 1732 01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 28: what happens with the tariffs. It depends on how these 1733 01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,960 Speaker 28: geopolitical developments we're watching right now do play out. Markets, 1734 01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,719 Speaker 28: as you say, have responded so far with a sense 1735 01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,679 Speaker 28: that you know, things won't you know, things are still okay, 1736 01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 28: and then the markets have discounted. 1737 01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,479 Speaker 13: All a lot of the bad news. 1738 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,439 Speaker 28: But it's you know, there's still a risk there that 1739 01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:17,639 Speaker 28: we need to watch quite carefully. 1740 01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 2: When do we start feeling it. This is the big 1741 01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,240 Speaker 2: political Christian heading into an election year. You know, it's 1742 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,519 Speaker 2: one thing to talk about it when do people feel it. 1743 01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:28,400 Speaker 28: I think one of the big things will be the 1744 01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 28: labor market turning around, and so the pick up in confidence, 1745 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:34,800 Speaker 28: the improvement and conditions, the fact that business, the business 1746 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,000 Speaker 28: sector is starting to look better and the consumers are 1747 01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,080 Speaker 28: starting to spend a bit more. When that actually starts 1748 01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:42,639 Speaker 28: to feed through to firms starting to do more hiring 1749 01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,679 Speaker 28: and the labor markets starting to improve, and that then 1750 01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,160 Speaker 28: creating enough jobs that it starts to put down with pressure, 1751 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:50,559 Speaker 28: we get to start to see the unemployment rate coming down. 1752 01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,120 Speaker 28: That also might start to see fewer people leaving and 1753 01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:56,519 Speaker 28: more people coming back from Australia as well, which has 1754 01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:58,240 Speaker 28: been a feature of the story over the past couple 1755 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:00,920 Speaker 28: of years. But I think the two the turning in 1756 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,760 Speaker 28: the labor market is going to be one of the 1757 01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:04,679 Speaker 28: main things that's going to make it start to feel 1758 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:06,880 Speaker 28: a bit better. I think another thing to point to 1759 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 28: would be when we start to see the housing market improve. 1760 01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:11,040 Speaker 4: A bit more. 1761 01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,880 Speaker 28: You know, New Zealand's had a very weak housing market 1762 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:16,200 Speaker 28: for the past couple of years, but I think once 1763 01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,559 Speaker 28: the labor market turns, that will also support some a 1764 01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,720 Speaker 28: bit of an upswing in the housing market, that combination 1765 01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:25,200 Speaker 28: will get things going and we're expecting that to play 1766 01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:25,880 Speaker 28: out through the year. 1767 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 2: When you say the Australian economy can't grow or sort 1768 01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 2: of tapping out it too percent, what's holding it back. 1769 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,800 Speaker 13: Well, it's already operating it near its capacity, I mean. 1770 01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,400 Speaker 28: And so a part of that story is that we 1771 01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:43,200 Speaker 28: didn't have as big an economic downturn after the pandemic. 1772 01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:44,559 Speaker 13: So if you think back. 1773 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:48,320 Speaker 28: To the story, inflation surged after the pandemic and central 1774 01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 28: banks lifted interest rates to slow their economies down, and 1775 01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:52,400 Speaker 28: in New Zealand's case. 1776 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:53,720 Speaker 13: The economy slowed down a lot. 1777 01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,120 Speaker 28: You barely had any growth for two and a half years, 1778 01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,680 Speaker 28: and that's been left you with a lot of spare capacity. 1779 01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:00,720 Speaker 28: So that now that you're in an economic ups when 1780 01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,040 Speaker 28: you've got capacity to draw back in and get the 1781 01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:06,200 Speaker 28: economy going and grow a bit faster. In Australia's case, 1782 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:09,559 Speaker 28: the RBA didn't lift interest rates as much, the economy 1783 01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 28: didn't slow as much, and as a result of that, 1784 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,679 Speaker 28: even a bit of an upswinging growth which we saw 1785 01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:17,719 Speaker 28: through last year has been enough to absorb that spare 1786 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:21,200 Speaker 28: capacity and get us back to operating at full capacity. 1787 01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:25,280 Speaker 28: We're operating at full employment, so the economy doesn't seem 1788 01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:27,360 Speaker 28: to be able to grow any faster than this sort 1789 01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:29,400 Speaker 28: of two percent rate that we're running out at the moment. 1790 01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:31,320 Speaker 28: And what that's going to mean, I think, you know, 1791 01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:33,880 Speaker 28: at least our Australian view is that the RBA will 1792 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,760 Speaker 28: probably have to start lifting interest rates this year to 1793 01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:40,080 Speaker 28: lean into it, because we are already operating at our capacity. 1794 01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:42,559 Speaker 28: But what it also means is that that run rate, 1795 01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 28: that potential growth rate we're seeing, the two percent, is 1796 01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:47,760 Speaker 28: not particularly impressive. We need to focus a lot more 1797 01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:50,960 Speaker 28: on doing reform to lift productivity and allow us to 1798 01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:52,880 Speaker 28: be able to maybe grow a bit faster and lift 1799 01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:53,479 Speaker 28: living standards. 1800 01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:53,680 Speaker 3: More. 1801 01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:57,519 Speaker 2: Productivity obviously a big, well bigger problem for us than 1802 01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,840 Speaker 2: it is for you though, right given the state of 1803 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:05,920 Speaker 2: our of our wages, you know, still tracking thirty forty 1804 01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:09,600 Speaker 2: percent behind Australia. What you know, when it comes to 1805 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:13,240 Speaker 2: politics election year, what should they be saying to us 1806 01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:15,080 Speaker 2: to actually fix that? 1807 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,320 Speaker 28: Well, I think productivity, you've got to think about levels 1808 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:21,240 Speaker 28: and changes. And I know this is getting into a 1809 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:23,800 Speaker 28: lot of detail, but yes, the level of productivity in 1810 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:27,400 Speaker 28: New Zealand is lower than Australia's that's true, but both 1811 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:30,960 Speaker 28: countries have had really quite sluggish growth in productivity. Australia's 1812 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 28: productivity growth has stalled in recent years. So you know, 1813 01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,960 Speaker 28: to that point, both countries need to focus on reform 1814 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:41,879 Speaker 28: agendas pro growth reform agendas that will help to support growth. 1815 01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:45,200 Speaker 28: And you know, a part of that is a continued 1816 01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:47,800 Speaker 28: focus on improving the tax system in both countries, in 1817 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:51,000 Speaker 28: Australia and New Zealand, and a lot of the story 1818 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,200 Speaker 28: is also to focus on trying to get investment in 1819 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:57,040 Speaker 28: areas where exports can grow more, where we can sell 1820 01:32:57,080 --> 01:33:00,400 Speaker 28: more into the global into the global economy. In Australia case, 1821 01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 28: attracting more investment into critical minerals and potentially services exports 1822 01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,160 Speaker 28: and those areas in New Zealand's case obviously supporting the 1823 01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:14,120 Speaker 28: ongoing dairy meat agricultural farming story, but also other areas 1824 01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:17,360 Speaker 28: like technology we're seeing you know, we're seeing more investment 1825 01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,800 Speaker 28: in technology and AI and so on, and those sorts 1826 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:23,519 Speaker 28: of exports are I think an increasing area where both 1827 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:25,880 Speaker 28: countries have some opportunities if we can grasp them. 1828 01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:28,160 Speaker 2: Paul, always good to chat, appreciate your time, Paul. Blocks 1829 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:31,240 Speaker 2: some Chief Economist HSBC. It's quarter to seven News Talk 1830 01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:33,080 Speaker 2: c B into Brady out of the UK next. 1831 01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:37,320 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro micro or just plain economics, it's all 1832 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:41,480 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Ryan Bridge and Mass Insurance 1833 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 1: and investments. 1834 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:45,679 Speaker 3: Your futures in good hands. News Talk ZIBB. 1835 01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 2: Twelve away from seven. You're on News Talk cib and 1836 01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:52,360 Speaker 2: you're reacting to Trump and his threats on Greenlands. Star 1837 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,880 Speaker 2: has spoken once. He said it's asking the Brady UK 1838 01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:56,080 Speaker 2: correspondent in the Good Evening. 1839 01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,639 Speaker 18: Hey, Ryan, he's kind of sitting on the fence, Rey Starmer. 1840 01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 18: He's not being hugely critical of Trump. Look, Starmer's in 1841 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:08,200 Speaker 18: a very awkward position here because more than anyone in Europe, 1842 01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 18: he has gone out of his way to try and 1843 01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:12,760 Speaker 18: be friends with Trump and Trump's America and trying to 1844 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 18: stay on side, give them that unprecedented second state visit 1845 01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:20,559 Speaker 18: in September of last year. So I think privately he'll 1846 01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:23,360 Speaker 18: be very very angry that Trump is doing this, or 1847 01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:25,519 Speaker 18: certainly seems to be very keen to be pushing on 1848 01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 18: and taking Greenland. European reaction. People are shocked. People are 1849 01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:35,640 Speaker 18: trying to come up with alternatives, and there is a 1850 01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 18: lot of feeling in Europe that it's time to use 1851 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:42,080 Speaker 18: what they call the trade bazooka. This is the anti 1852 01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,680 Speaker 18: coercial instrument ACI that the European Union came up with 1853 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:49,439 Speaker 18: three years ago and has never used. It's basically a 1854 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:54,360 Speaker 18: series of tariffs for any non EU country that blackmails 1855 01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:58,840 Speaker 18: the European Union with trade tariffs. So there's a push 1856 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:01,440 Speaker 18: in Europe to do that. Hit him back with tariff's 1857 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,280 Speaker 18: Starmer's trying to be the reasonable one, just say, look, 1858 01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 18: let's all work together and come to a compromise. 1859 01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:11,920 Speaker 2: In so Georgia, Maloney's saying the Trump whisperer, she's on 1860 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,840 Speaker 2: his side too, isn't she. Hey, what about Harry in 1861 01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:16,960 Speaker 2: court this case against the Daily Mail. 1862 01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 18: Yes, so he's back in England for the week today 1863 01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:24,439 Speaker 18: later today will be day two of this hearing at 1864 01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 18: the High Court, and it is Harry and a group 1865 01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,559 Speaker 18: of celebrities including Elton John who Harry has known obviously 1866 01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,519 Speaker 18: all his life because of Elton's friendship with Diana, his mother. 1867 01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:36,519 Speaker 18: Who else is in that list as well? You've got 1868 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:39,759 Speaker 18: Sadie Frost who's an actress, Liz Hurley, the model and actress. 1869 01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,479 Speaker 18: This group of celebrities, including Harry, all feel that the 1870 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:46,240 Speaker 18: publishers of The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday have 1871 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:50,040 Speaker 18: acted illegally in their news gathering activities over the years 1872 01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:54,000 Speaker 18: in relation to stories about them. Now, Harry's lawyer spoke 1873 01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:57,120 Speaker 18: yesterday in court. Harry was there, Elton John was watching 1874 01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:01,080 Speaker 18: online alongside his husband David Furnish, who's also included in 1875 01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:05,200 Speaker 18: the class action. Harry's lawyer said that the stories about 1876 01:36:05,240 --> 01:36:08,519 Speaker 18: him got so bad and so personal that Harry was 1877 01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:12,120 Speaker 18: completely paranoid about everyone in his life. If he did something, 1878 01:36:12,200 --> 01:36:14,519 Speaker 18: it would be in the papers the next day. And 1879 01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:17,920 Speaker 18: of course the allegation is that the newspaper and their 1880 01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:21,839 Speaker 18: private investigators and journalists were hacking into people's mobile phones, 1881 01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:25,559 Speaker 18: listening to messages, getting stories that way, and you using 1882 01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:28,840 Speaker 18: other nefarious means. So today would be day two of 1883 01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:31,880 Speaker 18: the hearing. We may well hear Harry speak in person today, 1884 01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,759 Speaker 18: but he's home. He had a smile going into court yesterday, 1885 01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 18: though we're told he will not be seeing his dad 1886 01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:41,400 Speaker 18: or his brother Prince William, who are both north of 1887 01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:44,320 Speaker 18: the border in Scotland on royal duty work today. 1888 01:36:45,040 --> 01:36:48,120 Speaker 2: Neet staying with family feuds for Siken Brooklyn Bickham. If 1889 01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,280 Speaker 2: we heard anything from Posho Bigs in response to this 1890 01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:53,799 Speaker 2: four page long Instagram pot. 1891 01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:56,960 Speaker 18: Not a word yet, but I would imagine keep across 1892 01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 18: their instagrams today we may see lovely family photographs of 1893 01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,280 Speaker 18: everyone apart from Brooklyn, enjoying themselves in what he calls 1894 01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:08,639 Speaker 18: brand Beckham. He has absolutely torched his family. In that post, 1895 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,640 Speaker 18: he says he doesn't want to reconcile. There was a 1896 01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:14,479 Speaker 18: report a week ago saying that they were only talking 1897 01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:19,120 Speaker 18: through solicitors, and mostly Brooklyn solicitors, saying to the parents, solicitors, 1898 01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:21,960 Speaker 18: leave me alone, do not talk about me, do not 1899 01:37:22,120 --> 01:37:25,360 Speaker 18: contact me. He's gone one further with this. It's quite 1900 01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:28,640 Speaker 18: a big, detailed post. We'd always known that there have 1901 01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,040 Speaker 18: been some sort of an incident surrounding the wedding. In 1902 01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:35,240 Speaker 18: twenty two to Nicola Peltz, the American actress and heiress, 1903 01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,280 Speaker 18: he appears to confirm that, saying that at the eleventh 1904 01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:42,599 Speaker 18: hour his mother pulled out of making Nichola's wedding dress. 1905 01:37:43,560 --> 01:37:47,400 Speaker 18: Other incidents at He says that the most humiliating experience 1906 01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:49,000 Speaker 18: of his life was when he was called up for 1907 01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:52,679 Speaker 18: his first dance with his new bride and his mother 1908 01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,800 Speaker 18: danced on him. That is the phrase he used. His 1909 01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:59,719 Speaker 18: mother danced on him in front of five hundred guests. 1910 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:02,479 Speaker 18: He said that he was humiliated. So I don't think 1911 01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:06,000 Speaker 18: this is going to end anytime soon. It's sad, but 1912 01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:09,160 Speaker 18: look there we are. It's I told to myself earlier 1913 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,880 Speaker 18: on imagine if Prince Harry could use Instagram. That's how 1914 01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:12,400 Speaker 18: bad it is. 1915 01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:16,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, good point, and just the phrase dounced on him 1916 01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,240 Speaker 2: as a little disturbing. Appreciate your timing to thank you. 1917 01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 2: Into Brady, a UK correspondent. It is seven away from seven. 1918 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:23,880 Speaker 2: You're on News Talks EDB. 1919 01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:28,360 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Too plus allan drive full show podcast 1920 01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:31,480 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk ZBB. 1921 01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:35,080 Speaker 2: News Talk said B it is five minutes away from seven. 1922 01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:38,600 Speaker 2: Pauline Hanson and One Nation are now head of the 1923 01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:42,760 Speaker 2: coalition and the polls in Australia. Nigel Farage is and 1924 01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,599 Speaker 2: Reform ahead of all other major parties in the polls 1925 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:48,720 Speaker 2: in the UK. And I think this year the thing 1926 01:38:48,760 --> 01:38:51,439 Speaker 2: to watch is where the Winston were. How close Winston 1927 01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:54,559 Speaker 2: Peter's in New Zealand first get to overtaking the Labor 1928 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:58,960 Speaker 2: Party vote, because if you think about it. Labor's dead 1929 01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,120 Speaker 2: in the water. They're not to go anywhere. So what 1930 01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:03,880 Speaker 2: do labor voters do? Where do they go? New Zealand? First, 1931 01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:07,479 Speaker 2: he's already on up, touching ten percent once you adding 1932 01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:11,479 Speaker 2: a few disgruntled labor voters. Look at that survey from 1933 01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:15,280 Speaker 2: the unions yesterday, from the CTU, who do you hate 1934 01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:18,120 Speaker 2: the most? Who do you like the most? Winston was 1935 01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,920 Speaker 2: more popular than the labor leader and that tells you something. 1936 01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 2: So I think the thing to watch coming into election 1937 01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,120 Speaker 2: year is Winston Peters v. Labor And it's what are 1938 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:32,240 Speaker 2: we going out to? Poison? 1939 01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:35,160 Speaker 9: Every rose has its thorn to play us out tonight, Ryan, 1940 01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:38,160 Speaker 9: So Poison were meant to get together because their first 1941 01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:40,040 Speaker 9: album came out in nineteen eighty six, so this year 1942 01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,080 Speaker 9: would be the fortieth anniversary. They were meant to get 1943 01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:45,360 Speaker 9: back together for a big fortieth anniversary tour. But apparently 1944 01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:47,800 Speaker 9: that's no on, no longer going to happen because the 1945 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,719 Speaker 9: drummer Ricky Rocket. Ricky Rocket is the drummer of Poison. 1946 01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,479 Speaker 9: He has told media that apparently they couldn't agree on 1947 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:57,439 Speaker 9: the money. Apparently, the lead singer, Brett Michaels, according to that. 1948 01:39:57,479 --> 01:39:59,160 Speaker 9: We only have Ricky's side of this, but he says 1949 01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,360 Speaker 9: Brett wanted six times as much in terms of getting paid, 1950 01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:04,800 Speaker 9: and Ricky was like, well, sob this So I'm not 1951 01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:06,599 Speaker 9: going to do some work so someone else can get 1952 01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:08,559 Speaker 9: paid six times when I'm getting paid. So it all 1953 01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:11,360 Speaker 9: fell apart. So yeah, that's those rock stars, I guess 1954 01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:12,160 Speaker 9: Ryan that is. 1955 01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,160 Speaker 2: And that's your You know, your your lead, your front 1956 01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,600 Speaker 2: man always wants a bit more, doesn't it.
