Speaker 3: good week for dairy farmers. We find out how they're

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 3: feeling about Fonterra's bump of first half result. We look

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 3: at what's happening with urgent healthcare in Napier. And we're

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: officially out of a recession. The economy grew by zero

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: point seven percent of the December quarter. Good news, but

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 3: it still feels like we're in the early stages of recovery.

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: We discussed this before the end of the hour.

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: The agenda.

19
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: It's Friday, the twenty first of March. All EU leaders

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: except Hungary's Victor Auburn, have voted to continue support for Ukraine.

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: In an official statement, The EU says twenty six of

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: its twenty seven countries have agreed to keep pressure on

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: Russia and give regular financial and military support to Ukraine. Meanwhile,

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: military leaders from twenty countries are currently meeting with the

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: UKPM Kiir Stamer this morning around peacekeeping options. Elon Musk

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: has been urged to cut back on work with US

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: President Donald Trump to stem damage to Tesla. Investors are

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: concerned Tesla shares have lost a third of their value

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: in the last month. Longtime Tesla backer, managing director of

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: US financial firm where Bush Dan Ives, says Musk's involvement

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: in DOGE is a brand crisis Tornado.

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: I think from must he needs to balance this in

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: terms of being house the CEO and DIRGE, and I

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: believe taking a step back from DOGE is crucial to.

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: The neant government.

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: Debt payments in the world's richest nations as at its

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: highest level since two thousand and seven. Across thirty eight

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: OECD members, debt service costs as a percentage of GDP

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: rose to three point three percent in twenty twenty four,

40
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: up from two point four percent and twenty twenty one.

41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: According to the OECD's Global Debt report debt payments are

42
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: higher than the amount spent on defense, police services and housing,

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: and New Zealand wine has grown a popularity in the

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: United States. For the sixteenth year in a row, New

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: Zealand Wine Growers Report exports to the US totaled seven

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty seven million dollars in the year to

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: June twenty twenty four. Chair Fabian Yukitch says the popularity

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: has made the United States its most important market.

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 5: Our wines are quite unique compared with wine for other

50
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 5: parts of the world. We actually really make wines at

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 5: consumers love, and I think that's the difference.

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: But consumers keep coming back to our wines because of

53
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: their taste and the aromas from the wine.

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: And that's their gender.

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: The first word on the News of the Day early

56
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: edition with one roof from make Your Property Search Simple

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: News talks.

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: That be So yesterday we spoke about a possible economic

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 3: growth of zero point three percent towards zero point five percent,

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: So it was a good surprise to see GDP up

61
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: zero points seven percent for the December quarter, largely of

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: tourism and agriculture, but eleven out of sixteen industries grew,

63
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: though struggling the most to construction and professional services. The

64
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: Finance Minister describes it as turning a corner. I tend

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: to like A and Z economist Henry Russell's description. He

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: told New Zealand heralds Liam Dan that it would be

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: stretched to call the figures strong. He said, we chalk

68
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: this up to the economy bouncing off the bottom. For

69
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: all that, you could tell the government was relieved with

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 3: the result. I thought they were restrained in their response.

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: I heard both David Seymour and Nicola Willis comment yesterday

72
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: and restraint was the right approach there. They are more

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: than aware that there is a long way to go

74
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: for a lot of keywaves to feel like we've turned

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: a corner. Sure, inflation is back under control, interstrates are

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: on the decline, but global instability is making people nervous.

77
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: There needs to be something more tangible in hand to

78
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: make us feel like we're getting back on track. And

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: it doesn't come from a holida of stats and graphs.

80
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: It's not until my power company informs me my price

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: is coming down and not up. Many good and talented

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: people stop losing their jobs and the price of butter

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: comes down and the general cost of living settles. Then

84
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: maybe will feel like we've turned a corner. As always,

85
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: you're most welcome to text throughout the morning. Ninety two

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: It's thirteen past five. Protests over a lack of after

91
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: hours medical care in Napier will go ahead despite an

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: agreement yesterday to enhance the service. Napier currently has no

93
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 3: doctor after eight pm mening. The closest medical care overnight

94
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: is a twenty five minute drive to Hastings. Yesterday, Health

95
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: Minister Simeon Brown announced an increase in the overnight urgent

96
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: care service in the area, including access to nurse prescribers

97
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: and medical support via Tallyhealth. Patient voice says it's not

98
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: good enough and the planned protest will be going forward.

99
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 3: Chair and protest organizer Malcolm mul Holland is worth me now.

100
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: Good morning, Malcolm, Yeah, good morning. What did you make

101
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: of the health minister's announcement yesterday?

102
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 5: Oh? I found it underwhelming. I don't think it as

103
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 5: a service that meets in need of the Napier community,

104
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 5: and it certainly doesn't seem to be a service that,

105
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 5: if you like, you know, is something that was promised

106
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 5: to the community when the hospital shot its stores back

107
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 5: in nineteen ninety eight.

108
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: What do the people of Napier need.

109
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 5: I think in particular, they want access to a GP

110
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 5: between those hours of eight at night to eight in

111
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 5: the morning. You know, Debt's been one of the ladin

112
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 5: VEHA calls. They would much rather see a GP in

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: the flesh if they are needing urgent care and write, now,

114
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: that's not a service that's on the table.

115
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 3: So what would have you like to have seen from

116
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: the Health minister yesterday? A GP as opposed to a

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: nurse practitioner and a nurse put made available.

118
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, that are GPP there in the flesh. Because

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 5: there are some issues around a nurse who is a prescriber.

120
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 5: So my understanding is that they can only prescribe medication

121
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 5: for common or for long term conditions, and I would

122
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 5: assume that many people who present to Napier for urgent

123
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: care wouldn't be in that bracket as well as the need.

124
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 5: So some doctors are quite reluctant to say via telehealth

125
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 5: this patient is the need of this medication without actually

126
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 5: seeing them in the flesh. So I'm understanding is depending

127
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 5: on who the GP is at the under end of

128
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 5: the line will determine whether or not a patient will

129
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 5: actually receive the medication that they need.

130
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: You got anywhere that you can pick up a prescription

131
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: after ours?

132
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, very good question. I don't believe that there is,

133
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 5: and I think that that is one of the services

134
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 5: that the minister has indicated he would like, you know,

135
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 5: there to be more work done and for that to

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: potentially happen at the Napier Health Center. But right now

137
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: that doesn't seem to be something that people who go

138
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: there can excess right now.

139
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: So where did the government it sounds like a series

140
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: of governments here go wrong with this new plan for Napier.

141
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 5: Well, I think they haven't appreciated. I guess that Napier

142
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 5: is first for a city of sixty seven thousand people.

143
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 5: And that's whilst there might be ed services available in Hastings,

144
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: which is a twenty twenty five minute drive, the people

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: of Napier do deserve, you know, a robust after our

146
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: place with the teen go to be seen for urgent

147
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 5: here and that was something that was promised to them.

148
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 5: So napier citizens do feel like they've been let down

149
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 5: and that the government have not come through with their

150
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,559
Speaker 5: end of steal.

151
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: I mean, Malcolm, there's probably a lot of places around

152
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: the country where we're having to drive twenty five minutes

153
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: to get to after our care. I mean, there will

154
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: be parts of Auckland where you know you'd be driving

155
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: at least that to reach care. Is it the issue

156
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: to drive or is the issue the fact that you know,

157
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 3: once again we don't want to be overloading our ed

158
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: departments such as the one that Hasting's Hospital with cases

159
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: that don't to be there.

160
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 5: Well, that's right, it is absolutely that because right now

161
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 5: they will tell you that it's very hard to be

162
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 5: seen Hasting ZD. Hasting ZD more times than not has

163
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 5: absolutely full to the brim, if not flown out the door.

164
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 5: So there is there issue. But you've also got people

165
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 5: who I think, quite rightfully, who live in our city

166
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 5: you know, should be able to be seen for urgent care,

167
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: not in an emergency situation, but for urgent care. And

168
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 5: keep in mind too that after cyclone Gabriel, the city

169
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 5: was actually cut off and so people weren't able to

170
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 5: commute from Nature to Hastings and that's a big concern

171
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 5: amongst the community, Malcolm.

172
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: Is a lack of after ours medical service is an

173
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: issue in other areas of the country.

174
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 5: I yeh No, most definitely, and it seems to be

175
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 5: that the preferred option is to go towards a telehealth model.

176
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 5: So I'm thinking for example, down on the West Coast

177
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 5: and Buller where I come from, they've shut down thereafter

178
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 5: our clinics. They were about four or five smester amongst

179
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: the West Coast there, and there was a real concern

180
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 5: amongst some via that tellyhealth is not the solution for all.

181
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 5: You've got a predominantly older population, but you've also got

182
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 5: pockets of a community that don't have or even cell

183
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 5: phone access for that matter. So you know, often a

184
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 5: lot of communities are very anxious about in my time

185
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 5: of need, m I going to be able to get

186
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 5: access to in this case, emergency services, not just agent.

187
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, Malcolm, thank you so much for your time this morning.

188
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: That was Malcolm mul holland there, the chair and protest organizer,

189
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: and he is also going to be doing a bit

190
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: of a rojo around the country with the petition around

191
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,200

Speaker 3: It is twenty one past five. It has been a

198
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: brilliant week for our dairy farmers. Fonterra has delivered a

199
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 3: bumper first half result with net profit up to seven

200
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty nine million dollars, a dividend of twenty

201
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: two cents a share will be paid, and the midpoint

202
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: milk price is still at ten bucks a kilo. Chair

203
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: Federated Farmers Dairy Industry Group, Richard McIntyre is where us

204
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: good more.

205
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 6: Good morning.

206
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: So is the mood the vibe on the farm shifting

207
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: to something a little bit more positive?

208
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, farmers are, or dairy farmers are a lot more

209
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 6: optimistic at the moment.

210
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: You know.

211
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 6: Obviously we've got a few that are going through a

212
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 6: draft at the moment in the Northoland, but a lot

213
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 6: of it rain over the last few days, which is

214
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 6: sitting there. Boyd spirits a little bit in that respect,

215
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 6: but look, you know a tend tole a milk price

216
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 6: is great, you know the fact that's becoming more and

217
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 6: more certain is really really positive. And we're hearing a

218
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 6: lot of talk about attend to a milk price for

219
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 6: next season as well, which is awesome. So the break

220
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 6: even milk price is sitting at around eight dollars fifty

221
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 6: at the moment, so it's still really high, but there's

222
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: still a reasonable margin there for the average farmer, and

223
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 6: a lot of talking about, you know, paying down some debt,

224
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 6: you know, a lot of accumulated some debt over the

225
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 6: last few years to paying that down, some deferred maintenance

226
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 6: or some capital projects, and probably you know, for the

227
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 6: first time in quite a while, I'm hearing a lot

228
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 6: of farmers starting to ask a but few questions and

229
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 6: talk about what they could or should invest in their

230
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 6: farm that will future proof it for the next ten

231
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 6: or twenty years. So, you know, that is awesome.

232
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: What is the answer to that, Look.

233
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 6: It really depends on the farm and this situation. You know,

234
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 6: there are a lot of improvements that can be made

235
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 6: to I guess, focus on productivity and production. There are

236
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 6: improvements that can be made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

237
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 6: or on preved water quality, and it depends on I

238
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 6: guess the starting point for those farms and whether low

239
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 6: hanging fruit is first and foremost.

240
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: This follows forecast this week of back to back good seasons,

241
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: which is quite unusual, isn't it? Can it last?

242
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 6: Well, that's a really good question. So it is quite

243
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 6: rare to have a couple of good.

244
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: Seasons in a row.

245
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 6: So often when you have a really good milk prices

246
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 6: because international milk prices are really high, and although we

247
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 6: although we produce a large proportion of the milk that

248
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 6: is traded across borders, we only produce a small proportion

249
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 6: of the milk that is produced in the world, and

250
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 6: so a lot of the other producers in the world

251
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 6: actually just ran up production when prices are high, and

252
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 6: often they overshoot a little bit and oversupply the following

253
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 6: year at the milk price drops. So we've always going

254
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 6: to be really aware of that. You know, these productions

255
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 6: for next year great, but there is a chance that

256
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 6: the milk price might drop still, and.

257
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: You're all concerned about the global economic instability at the moment.

258
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 6: Look, I thank everyone's a little bit worried about where

259
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 6: that might go this and there a little bit of uncertainty,

260
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 6: but you know, the other side of it is in

261
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 6: New Zealand produces really good, safe food and you know

262
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 6: it's well, it's grass fed, it's sought out throughout the world,

263
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 6: and so you know, we typically get a bit of

264
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 6: a premium for that. And so in any sort of

265
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 6: trade wars or anything like that, you know, typically we'll

266
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 6: still have people that we want to buy, all countries

267
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 6: that we want to buy milk products. So last time,

268
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 6: you know, Trump got on, we had all that talk

269
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 6: about tariffs, etc. What really happened was that Mexico decided

270
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 6: that they really wanted our milk products over over Americas,

271
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 6: and we set and sold a hold of milk cares

272
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 6: just to wait and see, isn't it rich Yeah, yeah,

273
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 6: we create opportunities as well.

274
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time. Richard McIntyre. It

275
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,479
Speaker 3: is twenty four past.

276
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: Five the early edition Full The Show podcast on iHeartRadio,

277
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: Power by News Talks at Me.

278
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Right.

279
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: Did the news yesterday the economy has grown more than

280
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: expected put you in a good mood for the week.

281
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: Maybe the news that Fonterra has done so well put

282
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: a spring in your step, or the opportunity to grab

283
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: a bargain and they have to pay sales this weekend.

284
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: Is that putting a smile on your face, or maybe

285
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: none of these things had an impact on your happiness.

286
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: According to the World Happiness Report, which was published yesterday

287
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: by the Well Being Research Center at the University of Oxford,

288
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: happiness isn't just about wealth or growth. It's about trust,

289
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: connection and knowing people have your back. It is not

290
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: a huge surprise. Finland is the happiest country in twenty

291
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: twenty five for the eighth year. In row. Denmark, Iceland

292
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: and Eden came in at second, third and fourth. In

293
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: Costa Rica and Mexico both ranked in the top ten

294
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: for the first time. New Zealand came in at twelfth,

295
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: between Australia and Switzerland. Now, look, I tend to roll

296
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: my eyes every time we compare New Zealand to a

297
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: Scandinavian country. We make constant comparisons due to population size,

298
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: but we are different countries with different resources and really

299
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: follow their lead. But it is intriguing to look at

300
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: why Finland is such a happy place. According to the

301
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: managing director at Galop, who partnered on the study, the

302
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 3: reason finished people are happier than most is because of

303
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: a belief in others, optimism for the future, trust and institutions,

304
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: and support from friends and family. Does any of that

305
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: feel familiar to us right now? I kind of feel

306
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: like twelfth for New Zealand feels about right. Between twenty

307
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: sixteen and twenty twenty, we were eighth, and we've been

308
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: slowly slipping down the list since twenty twenty one. Look,

309
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: we all know that health and wealth are not solely

310
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: responsible for happiness, but they play a part unless you

311
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: have to stress about them, the more you can focus

312
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: on being happy. But the study has turned up some

313
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: unexpected strong predictors of well being. Sharing meals with others,

314
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: having someone to count on for social support, and household

315
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 3: size all play a part. Basically, social connection is key

316
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: to happiness in this era of social isolation and polarization.

317
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: This applies particularly to young adults. The study found that

318
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: nineteen percent of young adults across the world reported that

319
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: they have no one they could count on for social support.

320
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: That's a thirty nine percent increase compared to two thousand

321
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: and six. It may, of course, be a hangover from

322
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 3: the pandemic, or, more likely, the consequence of giving our

323
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: lives over to devices and social media. The Harvard Study

324
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: of Adult Development, The famous eighty plus year's study into

325
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: Happiness has already established a strong correlation between deep relationships

326
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: and well being. So look, this revelation about social connection

327
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 3: isn't news. Maybe it's an important reminder though, for us

328
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: all to put our phones down, sit up at the

329
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: dining table and have a chat. Said so, health and wealth,

330
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 3: is that what makes you happy? Or would you agree

331
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: that there is more to life? And maybe it's a

332
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: sort of mind over matter. Maybe we just need to

333
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: get some good old fashion optimism back. What makes you happy?

Speaker 3: by zero point seven percent in the final quarter of

346
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: last year. A nice surprise for a Thursday. So we're

347

00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about what it's going to take

350

353
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: He says, I live in Taiappe and we have to

00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 3: an issue worth after our care morning. Francesca on the

356
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 3: farmers arm a farmer and yes we will try and

357
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 3: pay down debt, but back to back profitable years means

358
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: we can invest in technology to monitor cow health better,

359
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: milk cows better, fix fences, races, Buildings may be replaced,

360
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: maybe replace the silent wagon that's get a hammering in

361
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 3: this drought. We know we might find ourselves in survival

362
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,640

Speaker 3: Keep the feedback coming. You can text on ninety two

366
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: ninety two dos z be right, let's head around the

367
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 3: country and joining us now from Dunedin as Callum proctor,

368
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 3: what's going on with the bluff oysters?

369
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: Callum, yeah, Well, one of the one of the major

370
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 4: bluff oyster suppliers has pulled the pin on this season.

371
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 4: The e WE owned Nightahoo Seafood has says that it

372
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: will not harvest the oyster the season due to ongoing

373
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 4: concerns about the poor state of the fishery. Nightaho owns

374
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: about twenty percent of the allowable catch quota for bluff oysters.

375
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: The chief executive, Todd Moyles, toldus Loop they're facing challenges

376
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: around disease and viruses, as well as other factors like

377
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 4: climate change, which has led to see temperatures fluctuating and

378
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: disrupting the food source. Auckland stant Depot Eastery, an oyster

379
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: bar owned by Al Brown, has announced it won't be

380
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 4: serving the oysters this season, following conversations with the Bluff Fishery.

381
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 3: And Dunedin's weather today Callum.

382
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 4: Fog patches this morning, but find today light wins and

383
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 4: twenty three today good.

384
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: To hear, Thank you so much. Claire Sherwood is in

385
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: christ Church and it's exciting times because christ church Is

386
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 3: new stadium is opening its doors early to a handful

387
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 3: of lucky contabriance.

388
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 7: That's the keyword, Francesca, a handful. This is part of

389
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 7: the Open christ Church Festival, which starts in May. It's

390
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 7: a weekend long event. It showcases fifty one buildings of

391
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 7: what they consider architectural interest across christ Church. The Court Theater,

392
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 7: for example, is one of them that will be its

393
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 7: opening weekend. But Open christ Church director Jessica Holidays also

394
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 7: confirmed there'll be twenty tickets available to go inside our

395
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 7: new stadium, which is massive and hard to miss at

396
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 7: the moment, but it is a good it's still a

397
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 7: good year off completion, so everyone wants to see what

398
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 7: it looks like and gee, find twenty tickets.

399
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 6: I know.

400
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 7: Look, and Jessica says, this is really daunting because of

401
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 7: the population obviously and the interest it's going to generate.

402
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 7: I could count twenty people who I know that would

403
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 7: want to go, but it's the best they can do

404
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 7: to get around that. And this is where it gets

405
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 7: even harder. For the first time ever, they're going to

406
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 7: run a ballot for entry, so we'll literally draw names

407
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 7: from a hat.

408
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: Like winning lotto. The weather today.

409
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 7: Clear fine aside from some evening and evening cloud rather

410
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 7: fresh and northeastles developing and the high should be nineteen.

411
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. And Max Toll is with us

412
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 3: from Wellington and Max Wellington. Crypto outbreak has authorities on alert.

413
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, not the currency, unfortunately, this is cryptospiidiosis. Health New

414
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 8: Zealand warning Wellingtonians have an outbreak. Thirty two cases reported

415
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 8: so far. That's far more than the usual in the

416
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 8: region and they're mainly linked to the Hut Valley as well.

417
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 8: The Health agency warning preschools local health centers specifically to

418
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 8: keep an eye out for the disease. Swimming pools are

419
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 8: believed to be a key link to many of the cases.

420
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 8: The gastric illness causes diarrhea, stomach cramps. Health New Zealand

421
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 8: warning that crypto is spread by hands contaminated with BCEs.

422
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 8: Sorry too early in the morning.

423
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 3: For this charming.

424
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 8: Important to know. I suppose that's my only defense during

425
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 8: toilet use or nappy changing from hands. It can spread

426
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 8: to services, toys, food, water or in water like spas,

427
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 8: swimming pools and baths, and if you get it, you

428
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 8: probably have to take yourself out of action, incubate for

429
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 8: up to twelve days.

430
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: No important information. And Wellington's weather today max.

431
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 8: Much better, cloud clearing becoming fine southerlyas twenty the high central.

432
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, have a good weekend and never

433
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 3: britty Manu is with us in the Auckland studio. Good

434
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: morning Friday.

435
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: We made it.

436
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: We made it. An Auckland councilor says he would have

437
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: liked more time to weigh a decision around the fate

438
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: of the city's speedways. And I'm sorry we are not

439
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: talking about Western Spring speeds ways, which the council has

440
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: been discussing for at least a decade. Are you serious?

441
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 9: I am serious? Is this that we were talking about

442
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 9: this in the newsroom too? I thought, I don't really

443
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 9: want to do this story. Is this why we can't

444
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 9: do anything here in Auckland? Is this five things never

445
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 9: ever happened? Renchie Scat, what do you do? So the

446
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 9: final set of races at Western Springs now they're going

447
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 9: to be run tomorrow starting at six pm. And that's

448
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 9: obviously before they moved to any long as wiye a

449
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 9: u a Park. Auckland Council is going to give the

450
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 9: park eleven million dollars for upgrades. But you know, as

451
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 9: we all know, there have been claims of this misrepresentation

452
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 9: and a lack of consultation Speedway INSEAD calling the decision

453
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 9: of blind Side counselor of Mike Lisay's. Look, it seems

454
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 9: a bit hasty. They needed to be more consideration of,

455
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 9: you know, like what those coin consequences would have been, because.

456
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: It keeps right, it just it just I didn't you

457
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 3: hear it's the last race this weekend? You going if

458
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: you're in.

459
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 9: A coma like two years ago and you woke up

460
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 9: and we thought and you hear this, you thought, loop

461
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 9: there's still going on about that?

462
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 3: Well, I think you probably have a lot of other

463
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: things to be excited about. But yes, you might also

464
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: think that what's the weather today?

465
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 9: We need rain and we're not getting it. We're not

466
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 9: getting it at all this weekend. And I'm going to

467
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 9: continue my rant a high of twenty five. So that's

468
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 9: good fine apart from afternoon cloud.

469
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Next we're off to Europe to

470
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 3: get the latest on the coalition of the welling. Maybe

471
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,639

Speaker 2: for New Zealand business.

492
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 3: Vincent Mecaviny is with us this morning from the UK

493
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 3: and Europe. Good morning, Vincent, Good morning. Tell me what

494
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 3: is happening with this European military meeting over the Ukraine.

495
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, the leaders of twenty militaries from across Europe are

496
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 10: meeting in UK today to discuss this potential coalition of

497
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 10: the willing what they could deploy to Ukraine if there

498
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 10: is a ceasefire. However, President Putin has put down conditions,

499
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 10: saying that he wouldn't want any NATO member troops to

500
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 10: be in Ukraine, regardless of their badge that they were

501
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 10: serving under, which effectively tries to scuffer the plan before

502
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 10: it's even started. But President Zelenski has been addressing leaders

503
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 10: in Brussels today saying it's not acceptable for Putin to

504
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 10: be dictating the terms to the extent that he is

505
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 10: banning the likes of joining NATO in the future and

506
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 10: trying to stop the country from joining the European Union.

507
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 10: So it seems from all that we've seen so far,

508
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 10: despite President Trump's assertions that he had a good call

509
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 10: with President Putin, if he's not willing to budge on

510
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 10: the peacekeepers going in then he is just stalling for

511
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 10: more time.

512
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: And Finland is the happiest country on Earth. Not a

513
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 3: huge surprise, eight time in a row.

514
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is the UN sponsored World Happiness Report that

515
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 10: comes out every year. For the eighth year in a row,

516
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 10: Finland has won on this. They're saying it's due to

517
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 10: the access to nature and the strong welfare system that

518
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 10: the country has. It won't be surprised that there are

519
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 10: other Nordic countries right in that sort of top five.

520
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 10: You've got Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and the Netherlands. But there

521
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 10: are two new editions as well. Costa Rica and Mexico

522
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 10: have entered the top ten for the first time due

523
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 10: to the strength of family bonds. And I can tell

524
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 10: you that New Zealand is sitting pretty pretty at twelve,

525
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 10: one behind Australia, though one behind Australian.

526
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: Afraid we're slipping Vincent. Where was the UK?

527
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 10: Well, the UK has fallen as well, down to twenty

528
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 10: three along with the US. But one good thing from

529
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 10: the study was that it found that people our strangers

530
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 10: twice as kind as people think. They measured this using

531
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 10: a range of factors showing sort of They did an

532
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 10: experiment where people have found a wallet and assessed how

533
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 10: many people then attempted to hand it in, and the

534
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 10: result was double what the expectation of most people thought

535
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 10: it would be.

536
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: There we go, Vincent, thank you so much, have a

537
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: lovely weekend. Sid be right, it's starting to look out

538
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: for New Zealand as all signs point to a stronger economy.

539
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 3: The GDP rose by zero point seven percent in the

540
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: December quarter, indicating we've come out the other side of

541
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: the recession. Not in any great rush, you could say.

542
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: Council of Trade Union's economist Craig Greeny is with us now.

543
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: Good morning, Craig.

544
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: Good morning.

545
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: We're out of the recession. But does it feel that way.

546
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 11: It won't feel like we're for many people. We're out

547
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 11: of the recession on a quarterly basis, as you say,

548
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 11: we grew zero point seven percent in the last three months,

549
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 11: because on an annual basis, we're still down. We're still

550
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 11: down one point one percent. So you know where where

551
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 11: where certainly stopped the recession, but we're still the economy

552
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 11: is still smaller, and with unemployment rising and the cost

553
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 11: of living still being a real challenge for many people,

554
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 11: it won't feel like we're we've genuinely seen recovery yet

555
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 11: for many people around our ted.

556
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: What is it going to take for us to feel

557
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: like the economy is recovering properly? Do you think?

558
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 11: I think many people are going to need to feel

559
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 11: that difference in their wallets. They're going to need to

560
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 11: feel security and confidence. One of the things we know

561
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 11: is that businesses are aren't confident to invest. So in

562
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 11: the GDP day today yesterday their business investments for whether

563
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 11: consumers are going to need to feel confident and go

564
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 11: god by as things. So we saw durable birds, washing machines, thosets,

565
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 11: things that consumption of those fell last year. I think

566
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 11: confidence is really lacking still in an easy Lando colony

567
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 11: right now, and that's a function of rising and employment.

568
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: Sadly, well, we've noticed that we've seen that, haven't we

569
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: We've seen a recent slump and consumer confidence. So there's

570
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: growth that we have seen. Do you think it's sustainable?

571
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 11: You honest, Like everything else in the economics, we'll find out.

572
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 11: But in terms of the next few months, we expect

573
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 11: GDP to keep growing. What happens after that really depends

574
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 11: upon international factors, including Donald Trump and tariffs, and the

575
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 11: extent to which we see more changes at the budget

576
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 11: that again reduce consumer confidence and reduce the confidence of

577
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 11: businesses to invest.

578
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: Unemployment is expected to keep rising. What might every day

579
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 3: workers win? Might every day workers sort of see some relief.

580
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 11: Well, we keep expecting unemployments to keep rising over the

581
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 11: next year, or of employments for lagging indicator, so we

582
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 11: started to see some growth little a while before start

583
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 11: recruiting in a serious way again, so we expect an

584
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 11: employment to keep paging during the yes, so by the

585
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 11: end of twenty twenty five, workers may feel more confident

586
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 11: because of employments on its way down. But it's the

587
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 11: extent to which again that translates into pay packets for workers.

588
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 11: Forty six percent of workers last year got to pay

589
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 11: rise less than inflation, and we saw many workers heading overseas,

590
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 11: particularly to Australia where pain conditions are better.

591
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 5: So it's going to be.

592
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 11: A while before or workers feel any benefit from any

593
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 11: growth in the economy. And we saw that in the

594
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 11: data yesterday where profits were rising at more than three

595
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 11: times the speed of wages in New Zealand. So if

596
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 11: there is a recovery, it seems to be tilted towards

597
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 11: the side of businesses at the moment rather than workers

598
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 11: in their pay packets.

599
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 3: And the beings. It sid yesterday that on a per

600
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: capita basis, our forecast seduced the previous peak and activity

601
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: won't be achieved until early twenty two. Would you agree

602
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 3: with that?

603
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: Certainly.

604
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 11: You know that the GDP PIC capital has fallen for

605
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 11: two years, it's taken and it's taken a real battering.

606
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 11: It's now more it was in more than five percent

607
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 11: lower than it's peak. It's going to take a very

608
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 11: long time to get back to it. You know, it's

609
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 11: it's peak pre the start of these falls. I hope

610
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 11: it doesn't take that long, but it may well be

611
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 11: that it takes a very long time to get back

612
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 11: to the twenty twenty is raised. It isn't the matter,

613
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 11: but certainly a long way off.

614
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: Craig, I thought the government the response from the government

615
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: was very restrained yesterday at that positive result. They're very

616
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: aware there is a long way to go before New

617
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: Zealanders feel like we, you know, probably have turned a

618
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: corner or at a heading to a good place. What

619
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 3: do you want to see from the government in terms

620
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: of an economic plan.

621
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 11: Well, that's exactly what I'd like to see, is an

622
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 11: economic plan. We had the Going for Growth document, which

623
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 11: their economic strategy, and it was eighty bullet points, forty

624
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 11: of which have already been done. So it's not really

625
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 11: a plan. There's no plan for investment right now. Investment

626
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 11: every falls every year over the next four years on

627
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 11: physical things like roads, schools, hospitals. We don't have a

628
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 11: plan for the workforce. We don't have a plan to

629
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 11: tackle that rising unemployment. We don't have a plan to

630
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 11: help low income families. And it's when we tackle those

631
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 11: things that will start to see the return in confidence

632
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 11: and that the confidence will result in higher investments and

633
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 11: therefore more jobs and the greater economic security for workers.

634
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 11: And that's what we need at the moment, is is

635
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 11: that sense of an economic plan, And sadly it's still missing.
