It's hither 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: duper c Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: News Talk said, be. 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon. Coming up today. Nikola Willis the Finance Minister. 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 3: On that GDP number that we got this morning. The 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 3: mom of the missing matter Corper Kids has released that 7 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 3: letter from their dad. We're gonna have a chat to 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 3: Karen Rutherford, the news Hube journalist. All over the story 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 3: and Wellington City Council's a shambles. I'll get you across 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 3: the latest details and we're going to speak to Sammy 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 3: and Brown, the local government minister, on whether it's time 12 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 3: to intervene. 13 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: Heather Dup for Cy Allen Right. 14 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 3: The GDP figures. The last time we got the GDP 15 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 3: figures was three months ago, and I remember telling you 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 3: at the time that my brother was thinking of shutting 17 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 3: his shop because business has got that bad. And the 18 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 3: update today is he shut a shop. He and his 19 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 3: business partner decided to pull the pin. They did that 20 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: last month. End of the month. They had a great spot. 21 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: They were on Ponsonby Road, heaps of foot traffic. But 22 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: even in a reasonably affluent place like Pons in Auckland, 23 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 3: the wallets snap shut, the sales dropped, and they just 24 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: could not make it work anymore. Now, the reason I'm 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: telling you this is because that is the real life 26 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 3: experience of what we see when we look at the 27 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: GDP figures. What those figures are telling us in numbers, 28 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 3: it's people shutting their businesses, it's people giving up on 29 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 3: their dreams. It's people having to in some cases sell 30 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: their homes. That's what these numbers tell us. According to 31 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: today's numbers, technically we're out of recession. But I would 32 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: really pause before celebrating on this because geez, I mean 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 3: it is by a whisker, right, it's zero point two percent, 34 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: which means that when it gets revised, which it always 35 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 3: does in the following weeks, there is a chance that 36 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: they might revise it down. There is a chance it 37 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: might go below negative again, and then technically we're back 38 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: in recession again. I mean, that's how close the thing is, right. 39 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: So there seems to be three reasons why we managed 40 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: to just eke out a positive instead of flatlining or 41 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 3: coming in on the negative. And that is a bumper key. 42 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: We fruit harvest, our dairy farmers and the fact that 43 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: we pumped two hundred and forty thousand people into the 44 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: country in a year. We've learned by now that that 45 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: number masks a lot, right, that immigration number pulls us 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: through when really it's masking what's going on. If you 47 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: really want to measure GDP properly, you have to look 48 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: at the per capita number. What's going on there, and 49 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 3: that's gone backwards. It's gone backwards for eighteen months straight now. 50 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: So what I'm trying to say is for eighteen months 51 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: we have been getting poorer and poorer and poorer. Just 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: in the last year alone, the per capita number is 53 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: negative two point four percent. That's what's really happening to 54 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: the country. That's what's really happened in the last year, 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: negative two point four percent. Are shrinking in the economy. Now, 56 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: having said all of this, right, that's what we're That 57 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: is the reality of what's going on at the moment. 58 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 3: That is the reality of what's gone on in the 59 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 3: last few months. I'm still optimistic now. The reason I'm 60 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 3: optimistic is because I reckon we're through almost If we're 61 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: not already through the hardest, but we're almost through the 62 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 3: hardest bit. We're in the middle of winter. This is 63 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 3: the hard slog. On the other side of it, it's 64 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: going to have to be better than this. I reckon, 65 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 3: we are going to get a cut in the ocr 66 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 3: this c I know adrianaw was trying. It took doom 67 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: and gloom into us, But I reckon he's jewel boning. 68 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: I reckon it'll be November we get a cut. And 69 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: the reason I say that is because what you're seeing 70 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: in the contracting numbers all around this country is too 71 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: bad for him to leave us like this too much longer. 72 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: He is going to have to put us out of 73 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: our misery soon. Also, you talk to business, there are 74 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 3: green shoots. I mean to be fair, they are few 75 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: and far between, but they are there. So Yes, it's rough. Yes, 76 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 3: the number is just on the right side of positive, 77 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 3: and it's really not buying much. And I wouldn't be 78 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 3: celebrating about it. But I'm going to take whatever positive 79 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: news I can out of this right now, together, do 80 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: see two ninety two is the text number. Also talk 81 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: to as I say, Nikola Willis will be with us 82 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: after five o'clock now stonehenge, I mean, jeez, you'll have 83 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: seen this by now, right Stonehenge, which is one of 84 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: the UK's oldest monuments, has been vandalized with orange powder 85 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: by the Just Stop Oil protesters. Two people have been 86 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: arrested and both Rishi Sunac and Kiostama, the guys who 87 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: are running for Prime Minister at the moment, have condemned 88 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 3: the action. In a statement, the group said, continuing to 89 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: burn coal, oil and gas will result in the death 90 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: of millions. We have come together to defend humanity or 91 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: we risk everything now. Carol Cohen is a member of 92 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: climate protest group Extinction Rebellion in New Zealand and is 93 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: with us now. Hey, Carol cureda. 94 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 4: How are you, Heather? 95 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 3: I'm well, thank you. Do you think they've gone a 96 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: little bit far here? 97 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 4: Well, it's hard to say, isn't it, Because you have 98 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 4: got some responsibility with using corn start. It's going to 99 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 4: run off next time it rains. It's not damaging stones. 100 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: It's making a point that you know, we've got a 101 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 4: climate crisis. Eighty percent of our population is concerned about 102 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: the climate. Most of your listeners will be concerned about 103 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 4: the climate. And yet we've got governments not only here 104 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: in New Zealand but all around the world who are 105 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: just stalling on taking action. And when they say that, 106 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 4: you know, thousands are going to or they say, I 107 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 4: forget want number millions die millions. Yes, well, we've got 108 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 4: people dying now. We have three thousand or so a 109 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: year in New Zealand dying of air pollution. We've had 110 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 4: people in India right now dying of heat exhaustion because 111 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 4: of the heatwave and so on and so forth. 112 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: So, Carol, I mean, do you think that any when 113 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 3: these two people turn up and they're spraying the orange 114 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 3: stuff on Stonehenge, do you think that people look at 115 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 3: that and go, oh man, we've got to do something 116 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: about the climate. Or do they look at them go 117 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 3: packer clowns. 118 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 4: I think you get both. If we think of our 119 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 4: experience here in this country over the ady One tour, 120 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 4: that we had people going, you know that you shouldn't 121 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 4: be out on the street, you shouldn't be trying to 122 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 4: disrupt rug feet and you had other people saying, I don't. 123 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 3: Know that there's any equivalents because back in at the 124 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 3: Springbok tour you had a lot of people taking to 125 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: the streets. It was a really big group. You get 126 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: to to just oil people. I mean It's a tiny 127 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: handful of crazies. 128 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 4: Isn't it. This is a one off thing that's happened 129 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 4: with only two people. Yeah, they have streets. They've had 130 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 4: so many protests. They stop the they interrupt sports, they 131 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 4: interrupt traffic. They it's just ongoing and it's big. 132 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: Hmm. 133 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: Okay at twenty thousand in the streets a couple of 134 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: weekends ago. 135 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: Carol, I'm kind of perplexed by the choice of Stonehenge, 136 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: because I mean, the stones aren't doing anything to the climate, 137 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: are they. This just looks like a tension. 138 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 4: Seeing Yeah, I know, and you know chose it. 139 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 5: I don't know. 140 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 4: Why would it be appropriate for us here to I 141 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: don't know, do a to serverity protest with Queen Victoria statues. 142 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 4: Would that be irrelevant? 143 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: Why don't you vandalize some cycle ways? 144 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 4: Well, we want cycle ways. I'll tell you what I've 145 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 4: done here. We have gone on and symbolically shut them 146 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: down and declared it a climate. 147 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: You shouldn't do that, Carol. Didn't you just hear what 148 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: I said about the GDP. The reason that we're technically 149 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: out of recessions because are dairy farmers. You've got a helpful. 150 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 4: Terror I know, well, yeah, I know you have to 151 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: for the GDP, But are you going to do GDP 152 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 4: over climate crisis when we have got and houses that 153 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 4: are unlivable from last year's floods and cyclones? And why 154 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: did we have such a terrible cyclone's terrible floods? They 155 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 4: worked out it was about sixty percent worse because of 156 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 4: the climate. 157 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: Right, Well, you still need the GDP to be able 158 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 3: to fix those houses. Carol, thank you. I really appreciate 159 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: you having a chat to us. It's Carol Cohen, Extinction Rebellion, 160 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: Tommacky Makoto spokesperson. Now, this is another headline Boeing didn't 161 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: need a I mean, as if Boeing hasn't had enough 162 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: bad headlines, and as if they weren't just getting absolutely 163 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: slammed before those politicians in the US here yesterday, get 164 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: a load of this one. This is the headline today 165 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: Boeing faults leave two astronauts stranded in all bit. Yeah, 166 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: not only are they stuffing up what's happening on planet Earth, 167 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: but they're stuffing up space as well. Apparently, the Boeing 168 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: spacecraft that was designed to bring back a couple of 169 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: American astronauts from the International Space Station has faults water shock, 170 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 3: so they're going to have to stay there for two 171 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: weeks longer than planned. Sixteen past four. 172 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather duper c 173 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: Allen drive with one New Zealand one giant leap for 174 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: business U storgs'd. 175 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: Be Darcy water Grave Sports Talk hoosters would be arout 176 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: right now, Hey Darcy. 177 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 6: Hello Heather. 178 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: What's going on with the football Ferns. 179 00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 7: I don't know. 180 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 8: Does anybody know facilitators are being rolled out to help 181 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 8: what's going on with yet Ka Klimkova. 182 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: Down with the players? 183 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 7: Well, you'd presume that would be the case. 184 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 8: I don't know how much more deep it is, but 185 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 8: I think that New Zealand Football are pretty good at keeping. 186 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 7: Things under wraps. They don't want none to see here, 187 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 7: especially if there's trouble. 188 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 8: At mel But I suppose you wonder, and again I 189 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 8: don't know. I'm just throwing some ideas out there around there. 190 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 8: What has yet Klimkov achieved so far as the head 191 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 8: coach of the football Ferns. 192 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 3: Has she not been very good? 193 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 9: No? 194 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 3: Have they got worse? 195 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 8: I don't think they've improved I don't think we've seen 196 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 8: any advance in what they do on the pitch and 197 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 8: how they play, and I think that's a worry, especially 198 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 8: when you consider we've got the Olympic Games coming up, 199 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 8: which is even more of a concern. When you think 200 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 8: she was stood down or moved to one side, or 201 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 8: quiet into whatever they want to call it, only a 202 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 8: couple of months out from the Olympic Games, that suggests 203 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 8: there's been some serious community of breakdowns within that side. 204 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 9: Now. 205 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 8: Whether it's an outside influence, I don't know, but not 206 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 8: having access and having your head coach, if your football 207 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 8: Fern's not there. You look at the World Cup and 208 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 8: it started with a hiss and a rule fantastic and 209 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 8: then it just went up after that. I think team 210 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 8: selections in that side were poor. I think they look 211 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 8: to favorites players that have performed before, not players that 212 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 8: informed at the time. I don't think that worked. I 213 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 8: don't think New zeal On Football handled that whole tournament 214 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 8: particularly well when it came to and you would have 215 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 8: experienced this as well, getting players on air, actually building 216 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 8: on the momentum that that Football World Cup had triggered. 217 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 8: So it doesn't really strike me as strange that this 218 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 8: is a bit eight funded if you know what it happens. 219 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: Okay, so they're bringing the facilitators to sort out whatever's 220 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 3: going on in there, and then what and then hopefully 221 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: they repair things that we can carry on. 222 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 7: Well hopefully. 223 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 8: I don't question here and a lot of football people 224 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 8: because I'm not one of those just look at the 225 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 8: team and go it's not gonely wish. It's on a 226 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 8: long long term content. We don't know why because nothing's 227 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 8: really changed on. 228 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 3: What happens. 229 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 7: We don't hear anything. 230 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 3: Tell me about what's going on with TMO at Twicken 231 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 3: This sounds fascinating. 232 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 8: Well I was fascinating. It sounds stupid, it really does. 233 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 8: So what they're looking at doing and Twitter. They've got 234 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 8: a couple of games coming up, one of them being 235 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 8: a Barbarians game VPG Whales South Africa. The TMO is 236 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 8: going to be get this, wait for it, handed greater influence. 237 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 8: It's the last thing we want to do. 238 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 7: What to do whatever they want. 239 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 8: The ability to alert referees to knock ons and forward 240 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 8: passes in real times like it's only a trial at 241 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 8: the moment. These live referrals to be used when the 242 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 8: on field team, is mister clear an obvious incident, a 243 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 8: decision that doesn't need a formal But what have we 244 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 8: learned from this and the interruption of tmos They make 245 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 8: a mess of it. 246 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 7: We had that situation where Wayne Barnes and it was. 247 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 8: That Tom Foley, Yeah, and Tom Follyer No, no, no, no, 248 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 8: I've seen something that went back four phases. 249 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 6: Allowed to do it? 250 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: No, no, totally. But that is that's a different issue 251 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: to what we're talking about, because but if they're doing 252 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 3: things real time, that's going to be better than then 253 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: if they see a forward pass and they call it 254 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 3: immediately said that was a forward pass. You stop the game, 255 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: you deal with it. That's heaps better than allowing the 256 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: player to continue and then thereafter coming back. 257 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 8: Now, what it does, though, is it brings another chef 258 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 8: to the situation to stick the ladle into the pot, 259 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 8: and that I don't like. It means suddenly you've got 260 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 8: I'm the boss. No, no, I'm the box. Actually I 261 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 8: saw something, I'm the boss, and I think with Tom 262 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 8: Foley we saw Ego climb in there. 263 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 7: I saw something you talk to me. 264 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure the annoying face in the box. 265 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 8: I don't remember what he looked like, made an awful 266 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 8: decision of a quiesced to that decision, and it costs 267 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 8: or maybe not cost us a World Cup, but it 268 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 8: didn't help. 269 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 3: Have you got so? Have you got Peter alertiny On? 270 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 8: No, nobody's talked to you by one of the guys 271 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 8: early on. Peter, you talking about Super Rugby tonight. 272 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: I just googled. I just googled Tom Foley.

Surely we're in radio. 275 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 8: We can't judge people on their looks right behind them. 276 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 7: Not saying, not saying anything about the way you look hither. 277 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: Because that would be untowarded me to take your spade 278 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: away from you. 279 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 8: No, no, no, I'll give it back to Simeon Brown 280 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 8: because he's got much better use for spades than I have. 281 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: As far as prastructure, I've wrapping this up. Okay, Super 282 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 3: Rugby at seven. 283 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 7: O'clock you join us on the program. 284 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: Thank you. 285 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: Digging deeper into the day's headlines. 286 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: It's hither duper c Allen drive with one New Zealand 287 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: let's get connected. 288 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: His talk said, be coming up twenty six past four now, 289 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: The mom of the missing Mater Corper Kids, released a 290 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: letter late last night from the father. As far as 291 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 3: I can tell, it's not dated, so we don't know 292 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 3: when he wrote this let. It's handwritten. I'm not gonna lie. 293 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 3: It looks like it was written by a twelve year old, 294 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: like that's that's some twelve year old writing. But anyway, whatever, 295 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: not to judge the man for like bad handwriting. Some 296 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: people have bad handwriting. Anyway. To get to the point, Heather, 297 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: so she said, I've decided to share a letter written 298 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: by Thomas to show that all is not as it seems. 299 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: And then the letter starts, I don't know what to 300 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 3: say or do to help you forgive me. I'm not 301 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: desperate to be with someone, or I would already have 302 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: done it. I don't want to be with someone. I 303 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: want to be with you, Catherine, the woman I've been 304 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 3: in love with for over seven years. I can't make 305 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 3: you forgive me. Only you can make that choice, and 306 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: I know you don't have to. If I ever give 307 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: up trying to make things right, I will regret it forever, 308 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. Anyway, The thing is, I read 309 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: it and thought Why are you releasing this? What is 310 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 3: the point of this? I don't get this, And the 311 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: only conclusion I can get to is that she is 312 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 3: getting blowback. That's what I think's gone on here. She's 313 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: gone public for the first time since the kids went missing. 314 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: People have started giving her a whole bunch of crap 315 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: for it because the community supports Tom Phillips, and so 316 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: she wants to prove that she's not the problem he is. 317 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: That's what I think is up. We'll have a chat 318 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: to Karen now, Karen Rutherford has actually met her and 319 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 3: spoken to her. This is the news Hub journalists been 320 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: all over the story. We're gonna have a chat to 321 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 3: her when she is with us about ten past five. Also, Heather, 322 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: the Just Stop Oil protest lost it a long time ago. 323 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 3: Stonehenge has nothing to do with climate change. The people 324 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 3: who built it did not use oil to crane the 325 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 3: stones in place, and the monument has been through many 326 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 3: changes of climate and is still standing. So, in fact, 327 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: shows the exact opposite of their argument. That's from Nikola, 328 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: which I think is a fair point to make. 329 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 5: Right. 330 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: This is the thing everybody get. I can understand if 331 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: you're having a protest at cars right, because they're running 332 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: on the fuel. They're running on this stuff that's making 333 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 3: the climate. It's hurting the climate. I get that.

This was front page of the Herald today. 352 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: There's been complaints to the Financial Markets Authority about twenty 353 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: twenty two a government bond sale. The allegation is that 354 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 3: a major local bank had manipulated the sale of government bonds, 355 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: which then ended up costing the tax payer thirty three 356 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: million dollars. Now well, same ish thing is alleged to 357 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 3: have happened over in Australia. Australia's corporate regulator is also 358 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 3: investigating aan Z over there for similar concerns.

Heather Blair here first time text and 365 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 3: my question is how did the protesters get to Stonehenge. 366 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 3: I imagine they drove there unless Tory has built them 367 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: a nice little cycle way, probably twenty three away from five. 368 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: It's the world wires on news dogs. He'd be drive. 369 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 3: The head of Hezbolla says his fighters are ready to 370 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: respond if Israel steps up its attacks on Lebanon.

Thanks to that, we 387 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 12: stood firm on the battlefield and held our ancestral LUNs. 388 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: And finally, a druid. Lots of crazy things happening at Stonehenge, 389 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: a druid in England is planning to cast a spell 390 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 3: at Stonehenge to help England beat Denmark and the Euros. 391 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: This is a sixty nine year old chap. King Arthur 392 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 3: Pendragon is his name, and nah, he wasn't born with 393 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 3: that name. Obviously. He reckons he can channel the country's 394 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: natural energy to the foot ball team while they're playing 395 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: the Dames in Frankfurt, and King Arthur Pendragon's pretty confident 396 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 3: it's going to work. 397 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 8: It may be seriously named after the Scandinavian god of 398 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 8: war Thor, but. 399 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 7: I'm predicting England to win two nil. 400 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: Come on, England International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, 401 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: Peace of mind for New Zealand Business. 402 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 3: Murray Old Ozzie Correspondence with US Now ho muz. 403 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 9: Very good afternoon, Heather. 404 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: Okay, how's this going down? The plan to build the 405 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: seven new nuclear plants? 406 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 9: Well, no surprise when I tell you that it depends 407 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 9: which way you vote. Over here, Coalition supporters, those who 408 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 9: like Peter Dutton are thropping Labor fans are saying it's 409 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 9: absolute nonsense what Dutton is proposing. I basically, the climate 410 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 9: wars are back on over here at big, big time, 411 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 9: and the opposition here there is gambling that I promised 412 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 9: to bring a nuclear power to this country will win 413 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 9: enough support to kick Labor out of oppose at the 414 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 9: next election. Peter Dutton's promising seven nuclear power plants at 415 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 9: seven different sites around Australia. Two he says will be 416 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 9: operational in eleven years if the Coalition gets up next 417 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 9: year at the election. He's promising to provide emissions free 418 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 9: baseload power, which of course is a critical part of 419 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 9: Australia's energy mix. Large scale reactors for New South Wales, 420 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 9: queenslanda Victoria, smaller units for South Australia and Western Australia, 421 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 9: all to be government owned. Okay, so good, so far 422 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 9: as I say. Coalition fans are saying new beauty. But 423 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 9: what the critics are saying as wow, it's going to 424 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 9: be well for a start off. Can you give us 425 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 9: some costings. Who's going to fund this? Well, the government 426 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 9: and taxpayers will own it. Who's going to build and 427 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 9: design it? The only ones getting built and design around 428 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 9: the world right now are being built and designed by 429 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 9: Russia and China. He's promising more detailed costings after the 430 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 9: next election. Will lay us you know, rightly saying, well, 431 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 9: hang on, how on earth can we back this kind 432 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 9: of bit vague and how much are we're going to 433 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 9: be up for? And the experts, the science, the science 434 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 9: leaders have here are saying nuclear power head that will 435 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 9: simply be massively more expensive than renewables. So again, the 436 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 9: climate wars are on and we're all most or for it. 437 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 3: Explained something to me though, because if it's falling largely 438 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: down political lines, right, so if you vote right, you're 439 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 3: going to love it, and if you vote left you're 440 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: going to hate it. Shouldn't people who vote left actually 441 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 3: be on board with this because your alliance is a 442 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 3: country on coal is way too high and anything to 443 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: help the climate would be a good thing for a 444 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 3: left wing voter, wouldn't it. 445 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 9: Well, yes it would, but to the extent that we 446 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 9: need to know how much we're going to be paying 447 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 9: for this very expensive nuclear option. Peter Dutton is look 448 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 9: the Citysirose is our premiere scientific organization in Australia. The 449 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 9: best scientific brains in the country have said, listen, this 450 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 9: will not be on time. It'll be way beyond twenty 451 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 9: forty when the first powers coming off the grid and 452 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 9: atomic energy plant we have no idea how much it's 453 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 9: going to cost, who's going to design and build it. 454 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 9: There's just all often the never never, And it's basically 455 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 9: splitting down this ideological line. The National Party hates renewables 456 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 9: to bugger off. We want to keep digging out coal 457 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 9: and farting cows and all the rest of it. And 458 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 9: Peter Dutton is trying to exploit the political prism, the 459 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 9: divide that exists in Australia. He's trying to exploit that 460 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 9: to win office. And fair enough, I mean, go your hardest, 461 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 9: Peter Dutton. But a lot of people aren't buying it. 462 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 9: I understand what you're saying about the left. Anything to 463 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 9: drive down a mission shore, but at what cost and 464 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 9: how long? That's the big questions. 465 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: Well, that is an argument that I would share with 466 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: the left. At what cost and how long? Hey, what 467 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: happened with this road rage incident in Sydney. How do 468 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: you go from being angry at someone to mowing them down? 469 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 5: Oh? 470 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 9: Exactly, And there's a whole bunch of different questions being asked. 471 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 9: The young guy twenty seven years old, he was hit 472 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 9: and run this morning, died at the scene in Western Sydney. 473 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 9: The police trying to find the driver victim wearing high 474 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 9: viz clothing. Road very very busy. Parents were dropping children 475 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 9: off at school very nearby the shopping center as well. 476 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 9: Some suggest it was a road ratage, a road rage incident, 477 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 9: based on witnesses who said, gee whiz, this guy was 478 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 9: driving awaund one thousand miles an hour. Very good description 479 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 9: of a ute involved. And now an appeal of course 480 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 9: for dash cam footage. 481 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 3: Mars, thank you. I really appreciate your time. As always, 482 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 3: look after yourself. We'll talk to you next week. That's 483 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 3: Murray Old's Australia correspondent. Sometimes speaking of power sometimes when 484 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: things are bad, I like to remind myself might be bad, 485 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 3: but it could be worse. So we are obviously we 486 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: know that we are facing our own power issues in 487 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 3: this country. If we do end up having a power 488 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 3: into outage this winter, just think and least we're not 489 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 3: equadal because that whole country of eighteen million people lost 490 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 3: power yesterday. The whole country, not just Northland. Wasn't just 491 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 3: like oh, Northland can't charge at CVS or you know, 492 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 3: a small pocket of over there and the command or 493 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 3: which generally tends to get hit the whole country lost 494 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 3: the power, all of it, the subways, the heater, iss 495 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: the traffic lights, all of it because of a failure 496 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 3: in the transmission line. So at least we're not that bad. 497 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 3: Sixteen away from. 498 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: Five politics with centrics, credit, check your customers and get payments, certainty. 499 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 3: Very so, sen your political correspondence with us. Now, Hey Barry, 500 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 3: good afternoon, Heather. So this is the first full quarter 501 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 3: GDP result for the government in the new government. And 502 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 3: as far as I mean, if you're going to take 503 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 3: a win, then I suppose zero point two percent. 504 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 6: There won't be any champagne corks being dropped in the 505 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 6: bee hive. I wouldn't have thought. But at least the 506 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 6: track is above zero or negative, So you know, zero 507 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 6: point two percent. I mean, it's neither here nor there. 508 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 6: Statistical margin of era of stuff. 509 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 3: We're probably going to be revised exactly. 510 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 6: But I think the thing that they'll take some heart 511 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 6: out of, and it comes as no surprise, it's a 512 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 6: primary sector that is essentially driven the GDP rate, and 513 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 6: that's great. Agriculture, forestry, fishing production. They all rose zero 514 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 6: point four percent, and I think that's pretty good. The 515 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,959 Speaker 6: particularly forestry, the rise there was five point five percent 516 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 6: if you single that one out. The downside was construction, 517 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 6: which obviously is slow to get underway, but with the 518 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 6: fast track measures in place, one can only hope that 519 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 6: that'll have a bit of a lift. So it was 520 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 6: down just over three percent in the first three months 521 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 6: of this year. It's interesting, though, isn't it when you 522 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 6: look at GDP rates and we were all ready at 523 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 6: the second end of the second quarter. Now, well the 524 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 6: end of June next week we will be and we 525 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 6: have to wait another three months before we know what's 526 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 6: happening at the moment, you know. And I think the 527 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 6: data that comes out STAT. 528 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 3: Says it can't do it more regularly, too expensive. 529 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 6: Well I don't know why not, but ex well, how's 530 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 6: don't they have computers? 531 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: Marry Stats can't even do the census, so maybe they 532 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 3: don't have computers. 533 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 6: I'll be interested to see what Nikola Willis says. I'm 534 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 6: sure she's pretty realistic, but she said that earlier today 535 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 6: that New Zealanders are feeling the long shadow of the 536 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 6: prolonged period of inflation in this country, and of course 537 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 6: that's in the book of Adrian Or and what the 538 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 6: Reserve Bank will be doing. Don't expect to see much 539 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 6: movement in the OCR I would think on that front, 540 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 6: which is a bit unfortunate. But I looked around the 541 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 6: world to see what the GDP rates were like for 542 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 6: other countries, and you look at the country that Chris 543 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 6: Luxen has just left, Japan, they're only at zero point 544 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 6: nine percent for a year. You look at Fiji, where 545 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 6: he was recently, that's at three percent, Australia's at one point. 546 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 6: The United States, so they've come through COVID obviously pretty 547 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 6: well at two point seven percent a non enormous economy. 548 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: That sounds pretty good to me. Well, they're above yeah, 549 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 3: all above us. Hey, so the American print, you'll be 550 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 3: excited as a massive Trump supporter, you'll be ably fizzing 551 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 3: for the first presidential debate. 552 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 9: Yeah. 553 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 6: Well, you know, I got another email, and I've got 554 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 6: a couple of emails from the Republican campaign. They were 555 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 6: telling me this morning, this is the moment we've been 556 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 6: waiting for, Barry. We're just a few days away from 557 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 6: President Trump, our MAGA champion stepping into the ring with 558 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 6: crocod Joe Biden. The debate is this time next week, 559 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 6: and they're saying that we all know what will happen 560 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 6: in this debate. President Trump will dominate, Biden will be 561 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 6: as high as a kite, and the fake news media 562 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 6: will lie about the real winners. That they're pretty negative 563 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 6: at the beginning. Yeah, well, judging by the performance though, 564 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 6: I've got to say both men over the past twenty 565 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 6: four hours, you'd have to ask, what's the world coming to? Here? 566 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 13: They are My name is Joe Biden and Joe Biden's husband. 567 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 13: Thanks to all the members of Congress and homeless Security Secretary. 568 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 13: I'm not sure you're going to do you all the way, 569 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 13: but all kid decide Secretary Marcus as well as Secretary 570 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 13: with Sarah, everybody's is here. 571 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 14: Take a look at our inflation, our real inflation. They 572 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 14: said it was ten for the last couple of years. 573 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 2: Cumulatively. 574 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 14: You take a look at inflation and if you add 575 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 14: different categories, which said I think our inflation is between 576 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 14: forty and fifty percent. They said it's aid twenty two percent, 577 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:40,239 Speaker 14: but I think you could double it. 578 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the official inflation right in the US is 579 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 6: three point seven percent. 580 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 3: Barry, Look, I know you hate Trump, but you have 581 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 3: to agree you'd rather take the more on over the 582 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 3: guy who can't talk. 583 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 6: Well, he's more articulate, There's no doubt about that. 584 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 9: To me. 585 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 6: To compare those two audio. 586 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: I mean you would have to take them on over 587 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 3: the guy who can't finish a sentence, come on, true. 588 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 6: That, But does he understand what's going on the economy? 589 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 6: Clearly not? 590 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 3: Does he? The other one doesn't understand? Jeez, honestly, Joe Biden, Hey, quickly, So, 591 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 3: Luxin's on his way back plane. 592 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 6: Yes, well, as I understand it. It's in the air 593 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 6: at the moment, not flying low altitude. 594 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 9: You'll be. 595 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 6: Luxon. Of course, before he left, he committed New Zealand 596 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 6: to doing more to defend and protect the Indo Pacific region. 597 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 6: What New Zealand can do, though measurably, is debatable. I mean, 598 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 6: our armed forces aren't great. We are, though, sending a 599 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 6: fring it up there and to monitor any transgressions to 600 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 6: the packed against North Korea. And as they these two, 601 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 6: as the Prime Minister of Japan and our prime minister 602 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 6: were discussing things a very short distance away, a short 603 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 6: plane ride away of course. For that, Vladimir Putin was 604 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 6: was with Ken Jong. 605 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 9: On and. 606 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, so, and they were discussing. They were discussing and 607 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 6: making a commitment that if one is attacked, the other 608 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 6: rull protect it. So you know, again, like I said, 609 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 6: with the most powerful men in the world, as you 610 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 6: just heard, you know, you wonder what the world's coming to. 611 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't sound good. 612 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, really appreciate it.

No bids were made. The Minister of Climate 617 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 15: Change Simon Watts as well as if you put uncertainty 618 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 15: into the market, no one turns up as that fair. 619 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 16: I don't think it is fair. The reality is is 620 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 16: the effectiveness of the ets isn't desemined by an individual 621 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 16: market outcome. And what we saw yours demands wasn't meeting 622 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 16: the supply at the price which was in play on 623 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 16: the government market, and there was no participation. Those units 624 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 16: moved forward to the next auction. But you know these players, 625 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 16: if they want units, there is a secondary market and the. 626 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 15: Price you're setting your main market at if you just 627 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 15: transfer a whole lot of unsold stuff to the next action. 628 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 15: The same thing's going to happen like it did last year. 629 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 15: Back tomorrow at six am, the Mike Hosking Breakfast with 630 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 15: Jenuine News talk zedby here. 631 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: They tell the Blues coach is going to be an 632 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: invasion of red, yellow and black fans at Eden Park 633 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 3: and we're going to outnumber the Blue supporters just like 634 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 3: we did when we lifted the shield from them years ago. 635 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 3: Oh fighting talk from the old chiefs, and we are 636 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 3: going to speak to Verne Cott of the Blues head 637 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 3: coach in twenty minutes time, just get his take on 638 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 3: its full house at Eden Park, which is brilliant for 639 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 3: rugby and frankly rugby needed it hither.

Let's 669 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: get connected and news talk as. 670 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 2: They'd be. 671 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 3: Good afternoon. The economy grew zero point two percent in 672 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 3: the first quarter of this year, officially taking us out 673 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 3: of recession just but that figure has been propped up 674 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 3: by some massive immigration into the country. So the real 675 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 3: figure you need to look at, which a GDP per 676 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 3: capita shows it actually went backwards zero point three percent. 677 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: Nikola Willis is the Finance minister. 678 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 18: Hey, Nikola, hello here. 679 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 3: That number is so close to zero that I worry 680 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 3: it's going to get revised backwards, going to end up 681 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 3: in recession. What do you think the chances are? 682 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 18: Yeah, look rather a positive number than a negative number. 683 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 18: But I would be wrong to say it's all sorted. 684 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 18: Clearly we have a lot of work to go. There 685 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 18: are going to be better times ahead for our economy. 686 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 18: But the numbers are telling me the same thing as 687 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 18: the business owners, the employers and the families are telling me, 688 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 18: which is it's still pretty tough out there. Inflation still 689 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 18: isn't under control, interst rates are high, and we haven't 690 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 18: got growth back yet. Good news is the government is 691 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 18: doing everything right. We are forecasting inflation to come back 692 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 18: and to spand that means interest rates can drop and 693 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 18: growth will recover. We are doing everything we can and 694 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 18: are better times for head. 695 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 3: Do you think that we might be through the worst 696 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 3: of it or close to. 697 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,280 Speaker 18: I think we will feel like we're through the worst 698 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 18: of it when we see that first cuts to the 699 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 18: official cash rate. That will be the moment when people 700 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 18: feel some air breeze through our economy. 701 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 3: I'm thinking that happens on November. 702 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 18: What do you think, I'm thinking It's not my job 703 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 18: to predict that or to be seen to be trying 704 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 18: to influence the Reserve Bank governor on that. What we 705 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 18: obviously need to see is inflation under control. We've had 706 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 18: almost three years of it out of control. We are 707 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 18: feeling the long shadow of a government that mismanaged the 708 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 18: economy through fuel on the inflation fire, and we've had 709 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 18: a longer deeper inflation crisis than many other countries around 710 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 18: the world. Interest rates have had to go high to 711 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 18: sort that. Then they've now been high for a year. 712 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 18: That hurts. No economy can escape the pain of that, 713 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 18: So we are now nuttling down to do the work 714 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 18: to get inflation behind us, so the interest rates can 715 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 18: come down, the Reserve Bank can do its job there, 716 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 18: and then we've got to grow this joint. We've got 717 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 18: a grow this place, get productivity and investment going again. 718 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 18: And we're all about those things. And so we've now 719 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 18: got a government's on the side of business and it's 720 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 18: very serious about lifting opportunity through everyone. 721 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 3: I know that you can't I know, you can't really 722 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 3: actually weigh into when the ocr cut's going to happen. 723 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 3: But I mean, if you look at the numbers that 724 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 3: we're seeing at the moment, it would be really hard 725 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 3: to imagine that he can keep us in this place 726 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: for a long time because things are so bad, aren't they. 727 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 18: Well, it's just no doubt there's a lot of people 728 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 18: who are doing it tough out there. And whether it's 729 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 18: families with a mortgage who are watching hundreds of dollars 730 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 18: without their bank account into their bank's account each fortnight, 731 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 18: whether it's the small businesses who are feeling fewer customers 732 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 18: coming through the door because they're spending all that money 733 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 18: on their mortgage. Across the economy, you're seeing pain. 734 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 19: To some extent. 735 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 18: You could argue this is the recession that there is 736 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 18: a bank governor admitted he was trying to engineer. We 737 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 18: are seeing the inflation numbers coming down. This is the 738 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 18: horrible hangover after the big spending party that the last 739 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 18: government embacked on. It's not good, but we are doing 740 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 18: everything to cure it as quickly as possible so that 741 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 18: we can get on and grow. 742 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 3: While I've got you, what do you know about this 743 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 3: complaint that was laid over the alleged manipulation of government 744 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 3: bonds by a bank? 745 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 18: Well, is to do with any complaints about financial markets? 746 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 18: Fit with the Financial Markets Authority. It's the them to 747 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 18: comment on. It's not appropriate for me to comment on 748 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 18: those matters. 749 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 3: They are not saying if they've taken any action? Do 750 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 3: you know if they have? 751 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 18: They are the only ones who are to comment on 752 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 18: those matters. There's a very proper separation between me as 753 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 18: the Minister of Finance and them as the financial market's 754 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 18: conduct authority. So they look into those matters, they comment 755 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 18: on those matters. It's not for me to tell them 756 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 18: what to say or to comment on these is. 757 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,399 Speaker 3: Have you had a chat to them about maybe saying 758 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 3: a little bit more than they are. 759 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 18: I haven't chatted to them. I did ask to be 760 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 18: updated on this matter because of course it's important to 761 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 18: me that New Zealand's bond markets are conducted with absolute 762 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 18: integrity and on the advice that I have received, I 763 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 18: do not think that there is any challenge with the 764 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 18: conduct of our bond markets. 765 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Nichola, thank you very much appreciated. It's Nichola Willis, 766 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 3: the Finance minister. 767 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 2: Held to see Allen. 768 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 3: The mother of the missing Matter Corporate children, has broken 769 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 3: her silence for a second time this week, sharing a 770 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 3: letter on social media that she says was written to 771 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 3: her by the father, Tom Phillips. Now, she says the letter, 772 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 3: which professes his love for her, shows quote that all 773 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 3: is not as it seems now. Karen Rutherford is a 774 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 3: Newshart reporter who's been closely following the story and is 775 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 3: with us. Now, Hey, Karen, hi, Heather, do any idea 776 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 3: why this woman's made this public? 777 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 19: Well, this is a private letter between two people and 778 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 19: it is interesting timing. On Tuesday night, obviously, the police 779 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,320 Speaker 19: issued a video of Cat speaking and pleading with the 780 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 19: public of New Zealand to help, and then she releases 781 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 19: a letter which she says is from the children's father, 782 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 19: Tom Phillips. Now I have spoken to police. They don't 783 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 19: believe this is a recent letter and they also don't 784 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 19: feel it is relevant to the current investigation. This is 785 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 19: in the past. It's a custody issue between two people 786 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 19: and that's how it all started out. Sadly, it's become 787 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 19: a very public case here there, obviously because Tom Phillips 788 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 19: is accused of criminal intent with the alleged bank robbery 789 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 19: of the Tiquity A and Z as well as the 790 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 19: pup's superer, and he's also allegedly holding these children back 791 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 19: from health care and education. So that's you know, we're 792 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 19: also taxpayers and we're spending a lot of money on 793 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 19: a massive man hunt. So it becomes a matter of 794 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 19: public interests. But potentially this is a private matter, and 795 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 19: this is a woman who's choosing to share her dirty laundry. 796 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 3: I suppose why did she lose custody of the kids. 797 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 19: Look, there are issues on both sides, and I'm not 798 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 19: really able to go into that. We've chosen as a 799 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 19: news have not to go into the background because, as 800 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 19: I say, it is a private family thing. It only 801 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 19: becomes relevant when you know, search and rescue operations involve 802 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 19: people from all over the North Island, and criminal intent 803 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 19: becomes involved. So it let's to say she had no custody, 804 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 19: but Tom lost his custody when he took the children 805 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 19: for a second time, So faults on both sides. It's 806 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 19: about no one's squeaky clean here. 807 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 3: Now, I can I get that impression there are about 808 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 3: five days or something like that to get information through 809 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 3: to the cops. Do you think the cops do you 810 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 3: get the impression that they're closing in on him. 811 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 19: They made their strongest comment yet on Friday to us 812 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 19: in our story where they are detectiments acting detectments meant 813 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 19: that Andy Saulders said, look, you know, we are working 814 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 19: with the family on both sides, but there are wider 815 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 19: family and associates who are not forthright in their information. 816 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 19: And it was the strongest indication yet that they have 817 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 19: a net. They know who they're looking for, and they 818 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 19: know who they're targeting with this eighty thousand dollars award. 819 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,479 Speaker 19: They are hoping that someone in that wider circle will cave, 820 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 19: and they know exactly who those people are. So yes, 821 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 19: I believe the net is closing, whether or not they 822 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 19: will have success. 823 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 20: Before the five. 824 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 19: Days runs out, they may well find that the reward 825 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 19: closes off and they still haven't got what they need, 826 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 19: but they will have information in hand. 827 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 3: Karen, thank you so much. Really appreciate your time. Karen Rutherford, 828 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 3: News Hub Reporter. Let's deal with the blues next.

You nervous? 858 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 9: Yeah, a little bit. You have to be. 859 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,759 Speaker 20: It keeps you on edge. So yeah, there's a little 860 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 20: bit of that there. 861 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 3: Are you worried because of that performance that the Chiefs 862 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 3: put in last weekend? 863 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm not worried. I'm probably more confident than I 864 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,359 Speaker 20: am worried. I'm nervous because we want to do well. 865 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 20: And I think that's the key driver on this. All 866 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,240 Speaker 20: the boys care about what they do. They love the jersey, 867 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 20: they love the club and they want to play well 868 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 20: for each other and for the people to support them. 869 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 20: So worried and the sense that we're wearin. 870 00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 9: We're prepared. 871 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 20: Because we're seeing what the Chiefs have done in the 872 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 20: last couple of weeks, so we know it's a final 873 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 20: and finals have played with utmost intensity and desire. So 874 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 20: we've locked at in and the boys have trained well 875 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 20: at the beginning of the week and you know, hopefully 876 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 20: for the game will well, it won't go all the 877 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 20: way we want, but hopefully we can dominate enough to 878 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 20: come away with a win. 879 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 3: Do you reckon you're going to have the majority of 880 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 3: the people in the stands wearing blue? 881 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 5: Yeah? 882 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 20: I think so. I hope so, And you know, at 883 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 20: the end of the game, hopefully if they're wearing something else, 884 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 20: I put blue on. 885 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 3: What do you reckon about, like the fact that you're 886 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 3: playing at Eden Park? Is that pressure because it's Eden Park? 887 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 3: Or is it actually helpful because it is You're in Auckland, 888 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 3: You're it's a home home crowd. 889 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 21: Yeah. 890 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 20: I think there's the comfort of having the home crowd, 891 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,399 Speaker 20: but also the home field and the familiarity around walking 892 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 20: in the chain shed and and I think it's a 893 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,919 Speaker 20: great thing. But you know, the game is a game, 894 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,080 Speaker 20: and it's a making uncertain and complex affair. So just 895 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 20: being able to adapt, having that comfort coming in, but 896 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 20: making sure that when we hit the track, we're going 897 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 20: to have to be ready for anything. Yeah. 898 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 3: There was an opinion piece last week. I think it 899 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 3: was gregle Paul who wrote it, who said that you 900 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 3: guys have to win for the sake of the game 901 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,320 Speaker 3: in Auckland and therefore in the country, what do you reckon? 902 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 20: We went for a self fest and that's the players. 903 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 20: They know the history. But it's not about weighing yourself 904 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 20: down with too much pressure. Are those you won't be 905 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 20: able to play? Take the right off? You shoulders think 906 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 20: about the performance, Think about a game. Think how you 907 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 20: can beat your best with your teammates for eighty minutes 908 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 20: and the rest will take care of itself. 909 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 3: Hey, isn't it nice that we're going to have a 910 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 3: different champion from the Crusaders for the first time since 911 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. 912 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I guess so. 913 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 20: I don't really think too much about that either we're 914 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 20: worried about the Chiefs, but we're not really into philosophical thoughts. 915 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 20: We know that the Chiefs are a tough opponent and 916 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 20: we'll have to be at our best. 917 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 3: Good stuff and best of like vern Kotta Blues head coach. Right, 918 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: let's deal with the shambles that is Wellington City Council. 919 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,200 Speaker 3: Next five twenty two. 920 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: The name you trust to get the answers you need, 921 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,720 Speaker 1: Heather Dup to see Allen drive with one New Zealand. 922 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 2: Let's get connected and news talk as they'd be. 923 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 3: Heather, when are you interviewing the Chiefs, coach? Or have 924 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 3: I missed that? Dave? You haven't missed that. We're doing 925 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 3: that tomorrow. Stay tuned. It's just stay tune all the 926 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 3: way through until then and you'll hear at five twenty four. Now, 927 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 3: the shenanigans at Wellington City Council have now got so 928 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 3: bad that the local government ministers had to pipe up 929 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,799 Speaker 3: and get involved in this. This is the thing I've 930 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 3: been telling you about in the last few days. The 931 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 3: CEO at Wellington City Council decided she was god at 932 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 3: Babs Babs macarro and she decided to withhold information from 933 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 3: elected councils, and Simon Brown said he's quote appalled, and 934 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 3: then he said, quote the CEO is acting like a 935 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 3: politician when she should be acting like the CEO. Now 936 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 3: the CEO has withdrawn her decision and elected councilors are 937 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 3: able to get all the information they want, which is 938 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 3: exactly proper because hello democracy, now, come on, we are 939 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 3: way part us the point where the Minister could have 940 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 3: called the commissioners in on this lot, or at at 941 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 3: the very least called in a Crown monitor, because this 942 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 3: council is running the place into the ground. But I'll 943 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 3: tell you what, Simme and Brown, I Reckon is not 944 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 3: going to call in an intervention because it's too high 945 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 3: risk for him. I mean, I can understand exactly why 946 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,240 Speaker 3: he wouldn't want to write to anyone not closely following 947 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 3: what's going on with Wellington City Council. If he calls 948 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 3: in an intervention, it's just going to look like the 949 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 3: National Party guy shutting down the country's only green mayor 950 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 3: and shutting down the country's most left leaning council. It'll 951 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 3: just become straight politics for most people. That council and 952 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 3: Tory Farno are the poster to children of the Left 953 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 3: and Tory, don't forget, has actually publicly made an enemy 954 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 3: of Simmy and Brown even before the Nats got elected. 955 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 3: She called him out personally. So it's way too high risk. 956 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 3: Means he needs to tread really carefully. Plus, if the 957 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 3: commissioners prove unpopular, which they sometimes do, just look at Torunger. 958 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 3: He will be the one that's blamed for it. But 959 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 3: more importantly, why stop them? Tory and her mates on 960 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 3: Wellington City Council are doing so much damaged the perception 961 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 3: of whether the Green Party can run anything. How many 962 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,280 Speaker 3: of us around the country are sitting in our various 963 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,280 Speaker 3: parts of the world looking down at Wellington and going whoop. 964 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 3: There's a big old lesson in electing people who've got 965 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 3: some nice ideas because they care about the climate, et cetera, 966 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 3: but they have absolutely no idea. This is in fact 967 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 3: so bad for the Green Party what's going on in 968 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 3: Wellington that even members of the Green Party are trying 969 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 3: to cut Tory Faro loose because that want to be 970 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,720 Speaker 3: tainted by this nonsense. So why would Simeon Brown intervene 971 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 3: on that? As they say, never stop your enemy when 972 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:35,760 Speaker 3: they're making a mistake. 973 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 2: Ever du for see Ellen Simeon is in. 974 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 3: Fact with us just after the headlines, will be with 975 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 3: us in about twelve minutes time. We'll ask him about 976 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 3: that now and listen to the interview because I guarantee 977 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 3: you I'm going to press him on whether he'll call 978 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 3: the intervention, and I'll bet you at no point will 979 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,399 Speaker 3: he say he will, So just have a listen. Anyway, Listen, 980 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 3: I was telling you, I reckon, we might have found 981 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 3: the worst recycler in the country. It's a household in Ashburton. 982 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 3: Get a load of this. Okay, This lot have apparently 983 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,160 Speaker 3: been using the yellow recycling bin as the rubbish bin 984 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 3: right they were doing it. The council was doing an audit. 985 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 3: They found these guys were doing it for two weeks, 986 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 3: so the council confiscated the yellow recycling bin. This family 987 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 3: just get themselves another one nick week there's another yellow 988 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 3: recycling bin who knows, But not only that, while they're 989 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,240 Speaker 3: at it, they go and get themselves another two extra 990 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 3: red rubbish bins. So now they've got one yellow recycling 991 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 3: bin and three red rubbish bins out on for Coopcibe collection, 992 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 3: all at the same time. So the council confiscates the 993 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,280 Speaker 3: two red rubbish bins, so they're just back to the original. 994 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 3: They go to the resident, want to talk to the resident, 995 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 3: what's up. The resident was quote extremely abusive to the 996 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 3: audit team and collection contractor. The contractor decided that the 997 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 3: usual education approach for incorrect recycling practices was unachievable, so 998 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 3: they basically just left them to it. And now when 999 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 3: the rubbish trucks come past, they treat all bins put 1000 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,760 Speaker 3: out by that house as rubbish bins, not recycling bins. 1001 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 3: The incident was at the extreme worst end of the scale. 1002 00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 3: Headline's next. 1003 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in 1004 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,919 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home, Heather due to see 1005 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 1: allan drive with one New Zealand let's get connected and. 1006 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 2: News talk as they'd be now. 1007 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,280 Speaker 3: Bankcard not the hul fanning by Mark Sainsbury. David Barrow 1008 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 3: with us this evening. I am well into what Chris 1009 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 3: penk is doing at the moment. He is the Minister 1010 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 3: for Building and Construction taking another look at whether we 1011 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 3: need to change the way we're managing those earthquake prone buildings, 1012 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 3: whether we need to free up the legislation and the regulation. 1013 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously we do. Come on look around Wellington. 1014 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 3: How many buildings are sitting there empty. It's completely stuffed 1015 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,439 Speaker 3: the place up. I mean, between that and what else 1016 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,839 Speaker 3: is going on with the council, it's complete shambles here. 1017 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 3: The why would that council in Ashburton just let people 1018 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 3: dump their rubbish anyway? Such a good question, because that's 1019 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,640 Speaker 3: the moral of the story. The moral of the story 1020 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,240 Speaker 3: is that the worst recycler in New Zealand gets away 1021 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 3: with it, and what does the council do? Like they win. 1022 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,399 Speaker 3: The recycler wins because the council goes, oh, there's nothing 1023 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 3: we can do about it. Therefore, every single they've got 1024 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,839 Speaker 3: outside their house as a red bin, it's a rubbish bin. 1025 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 3: Now they've got two rubbish bins. I want two rubbish bins. 1026 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,359 Speaker 3: I want two rubbish bins instead of one rubbish bin 1027 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 3: and a recycling bin. But I don't think I'm going 1028 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 3: to get away with it because I don't live in Ashburden. 1029 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 3: I live in Auckland. But that's the moral of the story. 1030 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 3: Behave badly enough and they just give up. That's not 1031 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 3: very good. It's not a good example. Twenty three away 1032 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 3: from six ever do for see Ellen's Wellington council boss 1033 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,800 Speaker 3: Barbara mccero has come under fire for threatening to withhold 1034 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,360 Speaker 3: information from elected counselors. Now after media coverage, she withdrew 1035 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 3: the threat quite rightly. Simeon Brown is the Local Government Minister. Hi, Simeon, 1036 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 3: good evening. I mean, this is in the territory now 1037 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 3: where you could really call in the commissioners or a 1038 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 3: Crown monitor, couldn't you. 1039 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 22: Well, we've made our views very clear that they need 1040 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 22: to look at their policy. They've said they will. We're 1041 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 22: keeping a very close eye on this issue and my 1042 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 22: expectation is that councilors in Wellington have provided the information 1043 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,760 Speaker 22: they need going into making a decision on the LTP. 1044 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 3: I read in one of the local papers today that 1045 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 3: if Wellington It's been said that if Wellington City Council 1046 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 3: cannot pass its long term plan then ministers will consider intervention. 1047 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,160 Speaker 22: Will you Well, that is obviously a significant issue if 1048 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 22: they can't pass their long term plan. But the point 1049 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,560 Speaker 22: that I've been making in terms of this issue is 1050 00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 22: that the CEO of the council needs to realize that 1051 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,319 Speaker 22: she is not elected and that the councilors and the 1052 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 22: mayor is, and that she needs to make sure they 1053 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 22: have all of the information needed so that they can 1054 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 22: make the decision they need to make on their long 1055 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 22: term plan. That is of critical importance to democracy in 1056 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,479 Speaker 22: New Zealand and CEOs of councils should not be acting 1057 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:37,919 Speaker 22: in this way. 1058 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 3: Do you believe that this is a widespread problem wider 1059 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 3: than just Wellington where you have we had these unelected 1060 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 3: officials who think they're the real boss. 1061 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 22: I am concerned about this issue in terms of some 1062 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 22: of the issues I've seen raised by some councilors across 1063 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 22: the country, in terms of where there's been lack of 1064 00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 22: information provided or in some cases decisions made, who prevent 1065 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 22: members councilors from actually voting on particular issues because they 1066 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 22: management or may forward the view that they've got a 1067 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 22: predetermined view. I think this is an issue that needs 1068 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,399 Speaker 22: a wider look at, and I've asked officials to do. 1069 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 20: That because my view is very clear. 1070 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 22: Elected members are elected by the public to make decisions 1071 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,720 Speaker 22: and the council staff are not. They are public servants. 1072 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,080 Speaker 22: They are there to serve the elected members and am 1073 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 22: sure they have the information needed to make decisions. 1074 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 3: Listen to me and just back to Wellington. Okay. I 1075 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 3: can understand why you might not want to get yourself 1076 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 3: involved in something like this, because you're just going to 1077 00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,880 Speaker 3: get yourself self involved in trouble if you call intervention in. 1078 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 3: But do you not need to think about Wellington because 1079 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 3: it is I mean as being run into the ground 1080 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 3: by these people. 1081 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 22: Well I think about Wellington from a lot. I spend 1082 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:53,080 Speaker 22: a lot of my time in. 1083 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 3: What's it going to take to call in some outside 1084 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 3: help because these people are not up to it. 1085 00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 22: Well, look, I guess the point i'd make is we're 1086 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 22: keeping a very close eye on this issue. In terms 1087 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 22: of this, I have written to the council and there 1088 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 22: was willing in city Council in the past in terms 1089 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 22: of the issue around there what infrastructure, so there has 1090 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 22: been I have used those powers in the past. I 1091 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 22: would just make the point though, there's there's a process 1092 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:19,839 Speaker 22: that is underway in terms of the long term plan, 1093 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 22: and in terms of that process, the councilors are elected, 1094 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 22: the mayor is elected to make decisions and they need 1095 00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 22: to go through that process. And in the meantime, the 1096 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 22: council staff need to ensure that the councilors have all 1097 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 22: of the information that I need to have to make 1098 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,160 Speaker 22: those decisions. They are elected to make those decisions. They 1099 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,839 Speaker 22: have the democratic right to make those decisions. And the mayor, 1100 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,560 Speaker 22: the council chief executive needs to realize she is not elected. 1101 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 3: Yeah too, right now, listen, quick word is your energy 1102 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 3: hat on on the power outage in Northland? How can 1103 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,840 Speaker 3: we have one transmission tower falling over and then it 1104 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 3: cuts power to the whole region. 1105 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 22: Oh look, it's It's obviously incredibly concerning for Northland. I've 1106 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,400 Speaker 22: been in touch with Transpower a couple of occasions. This afternoon. 1107 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 22: There's going to be a full investigation as to what 1108 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:07,160 Speaker 22: happened here. The priority at the moment is restoring the 1109 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,960 Speaker 22: power to Northland. There is another transmission line going up 1110 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 22: obviously won't be able to carry enough load for Northland. 1111 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 22: So tonight there'll be about two thirds of power restored 1112 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 22: and they are working to have power restored at the 1113 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 22: earliest fully by tomorrow night. 1114 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,880 Speaker 3: Sime, and thank you so much, really appreciate time as always. 1115 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 3: Simm And Brown, local government minister, also the Energy Minister. 1116 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 3: What did I tell you not going to call an 1117 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,799 Speaker 3: intervention in court?

If we didn't have such big immigration 1133 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,800 Speaker 5: growth coming in, we wouldn't have had positive GDP. 1134 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, are you seeing it? Saying so, I'm seeing it 1135 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,520 Speaker 3: when I walk around Auckland, I'm seeing the shops that 1136 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 3: are closed and the people who are having a half 1137 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 3: hard time. Is the same in Wellington. 1138 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,960 Speaker 22: Yeah, and people just start to mean people aren't spending. 1139 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 22: That's part of the part of the problem. 1140 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,560 Speaker 9: You know, government starts spending. 1141 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,880 Speaker 22: Businesses are spending, consumers aren't spending. 1142 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 9: You know, where's it all going? 1143 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 20: There is that sense of God help us. 1144 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 22: When is it going to get better? You know it's 1145 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 22: too late to move to os. 1146 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:44,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, what too late in life? Saying so, saying are 1147 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 3: you striking as a risk taker? 1148 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 22: Oh yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's look, it's 1149 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 22: just frustration. It's like and Wellington getting back later. But 1150 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 22: it's just you know, every day is like another problem. 1151 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,719 Speaker 22: You know, it gets that point you just think I 1152 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 22: don't care anymore. 1153 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 3: You know, too much, it is a little. It does 1154 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 3: weigh you down. David, I reckon, I just reckon. It's 1155 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 3: too dark to leave us here with the ocr where 1156 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,399 Speaker 3: it is for too much longer. I reckon. They cut 1157 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,040 Speaker 3: in November, what do you think, Well, it. 1158 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,839 Speaker 5: Would be nice if they did, but the last lot 1159 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:23,959 Speaker 5: of inflation results you had, non tradable inflation are still 1160 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 5: at nearly six percent annually. Yeah, and you just can't 1161 00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 5: do that. This is the problem. Even though there are 1162 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 5: signs where their companies doing okay. People paying mortgages have 1163 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 5: had interest rates double, and some people haven't even had 1164 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 5: that hit yet because they're fixed term. Yeah, in interest 1165 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 5: rates aren't going to drop, you know, maybe November maybe fedry, 1166 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 5: but even then, so until those interest rates drop, we 1167 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 5: probably can't expect there's gonna be a lot of money 1168 00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 5: for investing. And that is the whole point. This is 1169 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,240 Speaker 5: why you don't want high inflation in the first place, 1170 00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,240 Speaker 5: because the solution is nasty. 1171 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it would have been nice. I have maybe like 1172 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 3: Adrian had read that. But in his manual when he 1173 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,759 Speaker 3: let inflation get to this point? Oh was it not? 1174 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 3: Was it not drawn with pictures of trees and stuff 1175 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,000 Speaker 3: like that? You wouldn't have got many of the picture book. Hey, 1176 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 3: what do you make saying zo of those climate change 1177 00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 3: protesters who went and tagged Stonehenge, did they go to 1178 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 3: Father's time? 1179 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 9: Look? 1180 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,640 Speaker 22: I mean you sort of thing, what is too far 1181 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 22: with anything? I mean my sort of thing is you 1182 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,800 Speaker 22: shouldn't be hurting people. But then what is everything then 1183 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 22: fair game? And you know where do you draw the line? 1184 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 22: The thing I get with that really weren't be over 1185 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 22: the Stonehenge. It's such a significant historical sight and now 1186 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 22: trying to make their I mean, the one I did 1187 00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,160 Speaker 22: enjoy was the people who. 1188 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 9: Put the cartoon faces over. 1189 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,200 Speaker 22: Prince Charles's portrait at the other day, because I had 1190 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 22: a perspect screen on it. 1191 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 9: So they made their. 1192 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 22: Point, and it was cleaned up a moment after. 1193 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 20: But yeah, there is a problem and it. 1194 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 22: Becomes negative at some point you end up just getting 1195 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 22: on everyone's. 1196 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and yet you know what I think, David I 1197 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 3: Reckon says, I was on to something. I reckon. These 1198 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 3: guys are just so irritating. You're not listening to their 1199 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 3: message anymore. You're just like, do you just think that dicks? 1200 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 5: Look, there was an they are There was an interesting 1201 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 5: interview where someone tried to adjume that actually go and 1202 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:21,360 Speaker 5: talk to them. And the people involved in this just 1203 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 5: want to irritate people. They believe in all, not just this, 1204 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 5: cause they're involved in all the causes, and they're about 1205 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 5: protests for the sake of protests. They're not actually about 1206 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 5: making change. You know, did you really think the UK 1207 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 5: government going to suddenly announce zero by two thousand futy 1208 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 5: because you stray painted on stone Hinge. 1209 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 2: No. 1210 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,440 Speaker 5: The nice thing about this, and I could say that 1211 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 5: though Stonehenges appears has its own Twitter account and it 1212 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 5: actually responded to the protests by saying the paint doesn't 1213 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 5: necessarily come out, and you've broken the law and you're 1214 00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 5: all go to jail for a long time. Treasure. 1215 00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 3: Yes, good I like that. That's a bit of a set. 1216 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,240 Speaker 22: Did you see the age of them have it? 1217 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:07,800 Speaker 21: Yeah? 1218 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,240 Speaker 3: They were ancient, they should know better. 1219 00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 22: No, no, No, one was twenty one and the other 1220 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 22: was seventy three. 1221 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well. 1222 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 2: What does that tell you? 1223 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:15,919 Speaker 3: A Saints? Ooh, you're stupid at both. 1224 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 22: It's a broad spect. 1225 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 3: That's right. All right, we'll take a break with you 1226 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 3: to come back and talk about Wellington City Council. It's 1227 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 3: fourteen away from six the. 1228 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 1: Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty exceptional marketing for 1229 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: every property. 1230 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,919 Speaker 3: Back with the Huddle, Mark Sainsbury, David Farrer, Mark, what 1231 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 3: do you reckon? Is it time for Wellington City Council 1232 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 3: to have the big boys called in on them and 1233 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:39,320 Speaker 3: the grown ups take over? 1234 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 22: No? No, I mean look, I think it's getting fast 1235 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 22: towards that. But it's a pretty huge thing to dump 1236 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 22: for council. It's got to be, you know, and I 1237 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,840 Speaker 22: think I think you were said pretty right earlier on 1238 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,560 Speaker 22: you know what the result would be politically, You'd probably 1239 00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,280 Speaker 22: end up as a loser for them. There's a huge 1240 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 22: frustration in Wellington at the moment. I've got a lot 1241 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 22: of friends in the hospitality sector and they're just I mean, 1242 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 22: they're just weaking. You know, it is just And because 1243 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,320 Speaker 22: he doesn't appear to be any sort of cohesive plan, 1244 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 22: I know that. And this is the big next thing 1245 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 22: is going to be the big three year plan. It's 1246 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 22: supposed to be getting signed off and all the supports 1247 01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 22: crumbling and yeah, I mean I can see where you're 1248 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 22: coming from, either, what are you regal? 1249 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I agree. I obviously agree with Mark on 1250 01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 3: this one, David that it is very high risk stuff 1251 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 3: for the minister to do it. But are we at 1252 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 3: that point yet or do we only get to the 1253 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 3: point if they can't pass the plan? 1254 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's the sort of thing that triggers 1255 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:42,080 Speaker 5: an intervenure. Just making bad decisions and being led round 1256 01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 5: by the CEO and not being unified isn't actually enough. 1257 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 5: It's called democracy. You get what you're voted for. Wellingtonian's 1258 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 5: had three choices from here at the last election. They 1259 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,880 Speaker 5: had lots of candidates to choose for the awards and 1260 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 5: the result is what we've got to view. It's not 1261 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,000 Speaker 5: all the counselors. There is obviously a cultural problem at 1262 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 5: the council where the sea is trying to hide information 1263 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 5: or restrict it to the council and that's not just 1264 01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 5: unique to Wellington. So I actually do think the government 1265 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 5: does need to move that regard and make it very 1266 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,440 Speaker 5: clear that seeds can't tell counselors. 1267 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,880 Speaker 3: No, yeah, absolutely, yeah. 1268 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,400 Speaker 22: I was going to say part of the whole breakdown 1269 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 22: too was and sad because Ben McNulty I was on 1270 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,919 Speaker 22: Nick Mills with them last week and he was telling 1271 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 22: us about how, you know, during the discussions and the 1272 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 22: pressure was coming on them, the sort of you know, 1273 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 22: the share sale, this top lawyer was brought and who 1274 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 22: basically told them that all be financially liable if they 1275 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,840 Speaker 22: don't vote for it, and the councilor's box go, you. 1276 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,600 Speaker 3: Know, and the top lawyer was paid for by. 1277 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 22: Whom I presend have been paid for by the. 1278 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 3: Council staff, trying to heavy the elected counselors again. 1279 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:05,480 Speaker 22: Right, yeah, they were really dirty honesty tried to get 1280 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 22: a copy of it and you know, yeah. 1281 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 3: No, the whole thing sounds like an absolute disaster. Saying 1282 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 3: so Toma Portucker, who is the Conservation Minister, says we're 1283 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 3: not going to be able to save every species. Were 1284 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,439 Speaker 3: basically because it's going to just cost too much money 1285 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:16,880 Speaker 3: and we need to decide where we want to put 1286 01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 3: our attention. 1287 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 22: Is he right, Well, that's what they're doing at the moment. 1288 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 9: I mean it was interesting. 1289 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 22: I went back and had a look at that that, 1290 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,400 Speaker 22: you know, the report that did to the un on 1291 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 22: extinct So there was another report out last year which 1292 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,280 Speaker 22: said that stats have to do the extinctions threatened the 1293 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 22: case it we'd said seventy five percent of indigenous reptile birds, bats, 1294 01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,920 Speaker 22: and fresh water pressure at risk. Look, we know you 1295 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 22: cannot save everything. I mean, that's that goes with that saying. 1296 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 22: But I think that's what they do. 1297 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:43,000 Speaker 2: At the moment. 1298 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,880 Speaker 22: I think they've got about a four hundred and six 1299 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,840 Speaker 22: particularly endangered species that they concentrate on. Yeah, but you know, 1300 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:52,920 Speaker 22: you get onto the saying, oh they're stopping on motorway 1301 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 22: because there's a couple of snails in the way and 1302 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 22: this sort of thing. You know, that sort of plays 1303 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 22: into the Shane Jones handbook. But we do have to 1304 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,920 Speaker 22: protect our environment and this is our our you know, 1305 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 22: this is our tingure and we need to we need 1306 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 22: to protect it. So, yeah, it's a bit. 1307 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 9: Of a worry where the. 1308 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 22: Budget cuts for dot but then so they are for 1309 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 22: ever everyone else. 1310 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, David, people are getting really upset about 1311 01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,280 Speaker 3: that about his comment, But his comment is just that 1312 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,240 Speaker 3: is the reality of the situation, isn't it. 1313 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 5: Everything has a cost benefit analysis to it. Otherwise speed 1314 01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 5: limits would be ten kilometers per hour. Houses would cost 1315 01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 5: me well even more than they cost to world, like 1316 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 5: five million dollars to have the best safety standard. We 1317 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 5: actually have eighty thousand species in New Zealand. Biodiversity is important. 1318 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 5: I think it should be a priority, especially with birds 1319 01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:51,840 Speaker 5: and animals, but it's just common sense. You can't guarantee 1320 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 5: that every species will be saved for all time because 1321 01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:58,800 Speaker 5: that's not actually how the world works for us. 1322 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,200 Speaker 3: That's true. Actually, hey guys, it's always a pleasure to 1323 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:02,440 Speaker 3: talk to the pair of you. Thank you so much 1324 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 3: and best of luck with your counsel. David Farreh and 1325 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 3: Mark Sainsbury seven away from six, on. 1326 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,720 Speaker 1: Your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in your 1327 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 1: car on. 1328 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 2: Your drive home. 1329 01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: Heather Duplicy allan drive with one New Zealand one Giant 1330 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,320 Speaker 1: Leap for Business News Talk SEBB. 1331 01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 3: Four away from six. Heather, regarding the rubbish bins When 1332 01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 3: I lived in London. I was a little bit naughty 1333 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,479 Speaker 3: one week and we put a bunch of old bricks 1334 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 3: into the bin, like twenty of them, and when it 1335 01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 3: was emptied into the truck it made a huge noise 1336 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 3: and the driver shouted general curses into the neighborhood air. 1337 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 3: He didn't pick up our rubbish for two months, which 1338 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 3: was four empties. Must have been fortnightly. Wife was rather cross. 1339 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 3: Never did it again, and maybe Ashburton should follow that 1340 01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 3: operational guidance. This is the thing about that Andy though. 1341 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,840 Speaker 3: I feel like Ashburton took an assessment of old mate 1342 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:48,920 Speaker 3: who was running all the bins, and just thought, if 1343 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 3: we don't pick up this guy's trash, isn't gonna dumput 1344 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:52,400 Speaker 3: on the side of the road, Like he's gonna be 1345 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 3: one of those guys, do you know what I mean? So, 1346 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 3: I mean this is like, this is like a handbook 1347 01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 3: for the rest of us. Right, if you don't want 1348 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,040 Speaker 3: to do the recycling, you've just got to go. So 1349 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 3: you've got to really lean into being really bad, like 1350 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 3: really bad, because then they'll pack up your rubbish. But 1351 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,000 Speaker 3: if you're just sort of like slightly bad, they're gonna 1352 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 3: they're not gonna get involved in it. Listen, there is 1353 01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,040 Speaker 3: a little bit of an update on just a little 1354 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:14,960 Speaker 3: bit more to know about the Wellington situation. 1355 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 5: Now. 1356 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 3: The thing that Sammon Brown is quite concerned about is 1357 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 3: the possibility, which is what we were just talking to 1358 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 3: the huddle about the possibility that Wellington City Council is 1359 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,880 Speaker 3: not going to be able to pass its next budget. 1360 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 3: They can only pass the next budget if they sell 1361 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 3: the airport shares, because that is how short they are 1362 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 3: on money. Now twisting this, apparently the Regional Council is 1363 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 3: considering buying the shares in the airport that Wellington City 1364 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:43,360 Speaker 3: Council wants to share, wants to sell to help Wellington 1365 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 3: City Council. They had a meeting about it. They looked 1366 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 3: at the options. They're going to look at the options. 1367 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 3: It's a little contentious though, because apparently the councilors on 1368 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 3: the Regional Council are not keen right. One said they're 1369 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,080 Speaker 3: not allowed to speak about it. They're gagged. Another said 1370 01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 3: they believe the idea was cooked up as a bid 1371 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,640 Speaker 3: to soothe tensions on the left. Now they have to 1372 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,560 Speaker 3: be really careful here the Regional Council because the Wellington 1373 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 3: City Council is already a shambles. It is not the 1374 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,920 Speaker 3: place of the regional Council to bail out the city 1375 01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,560 Speaker 3: Council by buying shares that they're trying to offload. The 1376 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 3: only time you buy those shares is if it's in 1377 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 3: your rate payers best interrists. If it's not in your 1378 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 3: ratepayers best interests, don't buy them because otherwise you're just 1379 01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,400 Speaker 3: doing that for political reasons, just to help the Left 1380 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,560 Speaker 3: from soiling itself, and that's not you do not spend 1381 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 3: how much two hundred and seventy eight million dollars on 1382 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 3: that Chris pink nets. 1383 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,960 Speaker 1: We're business inside the business hour, we'd hinder due to 1384 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 1: clan and my hr on News. 1385 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,560 Speaker 3: B even in coming up to the next hour, we're 1386 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 3: halfway through the years of Sam Dickie's going to look 1387 01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 3: at the investing environment for the second half compared to 1388 01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 3: what we've already been through in the first half. Jamie 1389 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 3: McKay on why the rural contractors hate those median barriers 1390 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 3: and Liam dan on the GDP print seven past six. 1391 01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 3: Now the government has launched a review into how we 1392 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 3: manage it earthquake prone buildings, the NBS system we currently 1393 01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:05,800 Speaker 3: use as run into controversy in recent years. For example, 1394 01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 3: you may remember when a block at Hut Hospital was 1395 01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 3: found a couple of years ago to be earthquake prone, 1396 01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,040 Speaker 3: so all the patients had to move out, and then 1397 01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 3: it was apparently just the cladding panels that were earthquake prone, 1398 01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:16,360 Speaker 3: and then it turned out that even the panels were 1399 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 3: probably fine, and the patient's wall allowed to move back in. 1400 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 3: Chris pink is the Minister for Building and Construction and 1401 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,480 Speaker 3: joins us. Now, hey, Chris Braving, The fact that you're 1402 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,400 Speaker 3: doing this review says to me that you think the 1403 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,000 Speaker 3: law is too onerous? Is that fair? 1404 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,920 Speaker 23: Short answer? Yes, people have told us it's unworkable. A 1405 01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,800 Speaker 23: lot of cases people simply can't afford to remediate, but 1406 01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 23: not necessarily allowed to do that in the way that 1407 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 23: they want or need. Sometimes they can't even demolish if 1408 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,680 Speaker 23: there's a heritage status so complicated such a situation needs 1409 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 23: to changeing we're keen to make it easier for people. 1410 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 3: Is it I mean, is it too complicated, too inflexible, 1411 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 3: or is it too onerous or is it both? 1412 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, look it might be both. 1413 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,000 Speaker 23: I think the complicated nature of it is a major 1414 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 23: piece of weak that we need to attack. You referred 1415 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 23: to that situation of uncertainty with the City Hospital. Lots 1416 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,800 Speaker 23: of other I get playing out all around New Zealand, 1417 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 23: and that's when you've got a bit of a dispute 1418 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,680 Speaker 23: or misunderstanding about where things lie. But even just on 1419 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,080 Speaker 23: the terms of the current measurance system, you've got a 1420 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:24,639 Speaker 23: percentage and it's something like seven percent. You know, it's 1421 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,559 Speaker 23: just barely on that top third. But then you've got 1422 01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,320 Speaker 23: people who say, well, that's not good enough for us 1423 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 23: to do because they're nervous about health and safety. What 1424 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,040 Speaker 23: does that mean to their liability? And you've got other 1425 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,280 Speaker 23: ones which might be say thirty five and that's it's 1426 01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 23: above the line and actually it's authentibly okay, but doesn't 1427 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 23: sound too flesh. So we maybe need a bit of 1428 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 23: a cleaner, more straightforward system. So we're seeing if we 1429 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:46,640 Speaker 23: can come up with something it's a bit more spacefuld 1430 01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:47,559 Speaker 23: for people to grapple with. 1431 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 3: Okay, something straightforward, but also would you consider lowering the 1432 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:52,839 Speaker 3: standard of weabers? 1433 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,479 Speaker 23: Yeah, well, I think what we've got to approach is 1434 01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 23: the question from a cost being a foot ratio perspective, 1435 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 23: which I know will sound challenging for people who ask 1436 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,280 Speaker 23: whether we're going to make it less safe, But I 1437 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 23: think at the moment we've got a scenario where we're 1438 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 23: very cautious, very conservative, and while we all love that idea, 1439 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 23: and the reality is what we're probably doing is protecting 1440 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,799 Speaker 23: against buildings from being damaged, we need to protect against 1441 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,439 Speaker 23: lives being lost. But below that we've got to accept that, 1442 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,439 Speaker 23: you know, unless we want to pay you know, the 1443 01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,680 Speaker 23: million dollar per life saved or per building saved, then 1444 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,400 Speaker 23: it's simply not stacking up, you know, I have to 1445 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 23: think about other things that we could spend that money 1446 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 23: on and save more lives. So just a Narali conversation 1447 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,160 Speaker 23: that we've got to have. But the review set up 1448 01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,040 Speaker 23: to take into account everyone's views who wants to contribute, 1449 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:40,920 Speaker 23: you know, along those lines, as well as getting into 1450 01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 23: that detail around the technical stuff too. 1451 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,719 Speaker 3: Do you think, just like on another note, but related, 1452 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:47,760 Speaker 3: do you think that you need to do something about 1453 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 3: the empty buildings that are sitting around places like Wellington 1454 01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 3: basically abandoned because the owners just can't be faft doing 1455 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 3: the earthquake strengthening. 1456 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 23: Yeah, I think it's a very fair question. There's an 1457 01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 23: earthquake pro and element So that is also brought a 1458 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 23: question about you know, we're heavy handed if people leave 1459 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:10,680 Speaker 23: buildings derialic because they can't be bothered sometimes overseas owners, 1460 01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 23: but not necessarily. So that's all going to be within 1461 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,840 Speaker 23: the scope of the review. So we're quite ambitious in 1462 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,040 Speaker 23: terms of asking all those kind of hard questions. So 1463 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,719 Speaker 23: we'll see what the review comes up with, but hopefully 1464 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,600 Speaker 23: we can come up with something sensible because you know, 1465 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 23: the whole city and the whole community and the whole 1466 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 23: provincial town, as the case may be deserved other than 1467 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,559 Speaker 23: just to have these derelict buildings and empty lots and 1468 01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 23: partmenting us. You know, an I saw in a danger 1469 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 23: in themselves best. The irony, of course is that you 1470 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 23: have heritage protection, end up with something that you can't 1471 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 23: do anything with and it ends up becoming quite an 1472 01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 23: I saw in the opposite of what we're trying to 1473 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 23: achieve with them A very good. 1474 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 3: Point, actually, Chris, thank you very much. Chris Pink, Minister 1475 01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,040 Speaker 3: for Building and Construction in case in point. Just what 1476 01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,240 Speaker 3: Chris was talking about was that building I forget the 1477 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,600 Speaker 3: name of it on Welling in Wellington. That's next to 1478 01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,680 Speaker 3: the Old Ama Hotel where the reason that that is 1479 01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,160 Speaker 3: shut is because it's earthquake prone. So what happened? Some 1480 01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,759 Speaker 3: homeless guy makes his way and falls down three flights 1481 01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 3: of stairs and gets hurt. So even the fact that 1482 01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,800 Speaker 3: it's just sitting there abandoned is now a dangerous thing 1483 01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,000 Speaker 3: as well. Heither if they are spending such significant money 1484 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 3: and resources trying to find this guy, this is the 1485 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,600 Speaker 3: mater Corpa dad, and they genuinely have concerns for the 1486 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,800 Speaker 3: children's welfare, why don't they stop mucking around and make 1487 01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,040 Speaker 3: the reward an irresistible amount of money, for example a 1488 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,799 Speaker 3: million bucks. That's not a bad point because the amount 1489 01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,360 Speaker 3: of money, so that the reward is eighty thousand, But 1490 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,000 Speaker 3: the amount of money that they will be spending on 1491 01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 3: the police resources right the coppers being there instead of 1492 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,439 Speaker 3: doing all the other things that they could be doing 1493 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,280 Speaker 3: and should be doing, will be reasonably significant and probably 1494 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,680 Speaker 3: into the several hundreds of thousands of dollars. So if 1495 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 3: not the millions, so fairpoint, why not just put in 1496 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:42,040 Speaker 3: a whole lot of cash and get the goods now 1497 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:47,559 Speaker 3: that stuff in investigation into the Chinese interference in our 1498 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:52,680 Speaker 3: democracy has named another Chinese National Party NBA MP is 1499 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:58,240 Speaker 3: being potentially problematic. It's the first terminalist MP Nancy Lou. 1500 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,639 Speaker 3: Now what's gone on with this is that I think 1501 01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 3: we've all sort of talked around this for a long time, 1502 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,360 Speaker 3: but finally we are now at the point where we 1503 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 3: are calling Jiang Yang the former National MP and alleged 1504 01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 3: Chinese spy. So we're just saying it out loud. Okay, 1505 01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:16,360 Speaker 3: So these guys have already fingered this is the stuff. 1506 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,640 Speaker 3: Investigation have already fingered him as an alleged form as 1507 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,720 Speaker 3: an alleged Chinese spy. They've gone back through some old 1508 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,479 Speaker 3: interviews that he did. They found an interview that he 1509 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,519 Speaker 3: did back in twenty twenty with the Chinese language media 1510 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 3: outlet PANNEDA TV thirty seven and Nancy Lou not yet 1511 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,880 Speaker 3: a National MP, just a civilian at that point. Nancy 1512 01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 3: Lou was with him in the studio and he says 1513 01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 3: he had trained Nancy to stand for the National Party 1514 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,240 Speaker 3: for a long time and he had kept its secret 1515 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,679 Speaker 3: from his colleagues. And he says Nancy has taken over 1516 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:52,479 Speaker 3: from me, which begs the question how like how taken over? 1517 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 3: For like how much? All the jobs or just the 1518 01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 3: MP Jobs thirteen plus. 1519 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,480 Speaker 2: Six, crunching the numbers and getting the results. 1520 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,000 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplicy Allen with the Business Hours thanks to 1521 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,720 Speaker 1: my HR, the HR platform. 1522 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 2: For SME on US talks EDB.

How good is that? 1528 01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,840 Speaker 3: But it's margin of era stuff. The economy grew zero 1529 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 3: point two percent in Q one. That's the upper end 1530 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 3: of expectations. Liam Dan's, the Herald's Business editor at large 1531 01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 3: and with us Liam. 1532 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 9: Hello, good. 1533 01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,080 Speaker 3: I Heather got to take a win when we get one, right. 1534 01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:41,519 Speaker 20: I guess Look, I'm pretty downbeat about it. I think 1535 01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,679 Speaker 20: it's all about per capita, really, isn't it, in terms 1536 01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,960 Speaker 20: of how people are feeling on the ground. I basically 1537 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,720 Speaker 20: don't want to be the guy shouting about, oh, it's 1538 01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:53,200 Speaker 20: all over when we know that it's not all over 1539 01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,240 Speaker 20: and that the next few months are going to be 1540 01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 20: pretty tough. To me, it's really all about when those 1541 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,639 Speaker 20: interestrates coming down, So you know, we could talk about 1542 01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,200 Speaker 20: February or May or September if you're the Reserve bank. 1543 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,599 Speaker 20: But I think the idea of a downturn we're still 1544 01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 20: very much in it. 1545 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I was, I was saying earlier, and 1546 01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:14,800 Speaker 3: I still think that whether they're going to move in 1547 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,160 Speaker 3: November because of just how stuffed we are. But I mean, 1548 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 3: as somebody pointed out before, the inflation doesn't warrant that. 1549 01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:26,559 Speaker 20: Does it. It doesn't warrant in terms of yeah, well November. No, 1550 01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:28,720 Speaker 20: it doesn't yet. I mean, look, it could you could 1551 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,640 Speaker 20: be quite right, and I hope you are that that 1552 01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,960 Speaker 20: because it's so bad, particularly in that services sector. We're 1553 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:36,640 Speaker 20: seeing that coming off a bit of a cliff, and 1554 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:38,920 Speaker 20: you know that that end of the economy that's you 1555 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,360 Speaker 20: know that we really feel is where all that non 1556 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 20: tradable inflation was so. Non tradable inflation is sticky. It's 1557 01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,439 Speaker 20: something like five point eight percent, and tradeable, which is 1558 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 20: imported food and oil and stuff, is down one point 1559 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,600 Speaker 20: six or something very low. The non tradable is the 1560 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,800 Speaker 20: bad stuff. We know that people are afraid that it 1561 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,240 Speaker 20: will stick there and will be But actually if the 1562 01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:02,519 Speaker 20: economy really tanks and you know in those areas that 1563 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,200 Speaker 20: we saw today under the hood on the GDP, it 1564 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,599 Speaker 20: could come away quite fast. So yeah, you're right. There's 1565 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 20: a few economists Tony Alexander and Kiwi Bank who still think, 1566 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,639 Speaker 20: and some of the international ones capital economics and things 1567 01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:19,920 Speaker 20: still think November as possible. It confuses that having that 1568 01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 20: zero point to growth. In some ways, it would have 1569 01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,080 Speaker 20: been cleaner if we'd actually gone, oh, it's really really terrible. 1570 01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,040 Speaker 20: The top line still down, we're still in recession. 1571 01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 3: But hey, how many more inflation numbers do we get 1572 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 3: before November? We've got one in October, don't. 1573 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,360 Speaker 20: We that's a good question. We must have two more, 1574 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:37,120 Speaker 20: I think, yeah. 1575 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 3: Two more for it to come back and then and 1576 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 3: convince Adrian. 1577 01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,760 Speaker 20: Yeah, and as you know, we don't get we don't 1578 01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:47,720 Speaker 20: get the data quickly enough to really really give them 1579 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,680 Speaker 20: much opportunity to turn around. They'll be nervous because you know, 1580 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:54,000 Speaker 20: we can't control that tradeable So if you'll see in 1581 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,840 Speaker 20: the UK that they've got the CPI inflation down around 1582 01:15:57,840 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 20: two percent and they're still not coming because they're not 1583 01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 20: tradeable inflation is up around you know, five point eight 1584 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,559 Speaker 20: six percent or something and that's the bit that reserve 1585 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,920 Speaker 20: bank central banks can control. And so if you've got 1586 01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:10,880 Speaker 20: that up high and then you have an oil shock 1587 01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,799 Speaker 20: or something like that, then you're back into the horrible 1588 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:17,639 Speaker 20: stagulation and everything. So you know, I understand why they're nervous. 1589 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 20: We want to see it, you know, squashed and killed off. Yeah, 1590 01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:23,559 Speaker 20: November hope, soy. 1591 01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 3: Yeahs fingers cross, let's go for that, Liam, Thank you 1592 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,599 Speaker 3: so much. Liam Dan the Herald's Business editor are large here. 1593 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:30,320 Speaker 3: As I've said before, you should be born in New 1594 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,519 Speaker 3: Zealand to become a member of parliament. That's from Paul. 1595 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,120 Speaker 3: There are countries that do that, and you can see 1596 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 3: why there are countries that do that, right, because then 1597 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 3: you don't have the old problem where you've got people 1598 01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 3: being accused of being Chinese spies. But that's probably not 1599 01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 3: workable in New Zealand because I think I don't know 1600 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,120 Speaker 3: what the number is now, but the number of people 1601 01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:56,120 Speaker 3: living in this country who are migrants is enormous. It'd 1602 01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 3: be well over twenty percent, if it's not even higher 1603 01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:02,479 Speaker 3: than that. Now, you can't you just can't democratically exclude 1604 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:04,599 Speaker 3: those people, right, That would just be such a distinct 1605 01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 3: thing to do, because then what you'd end up doing 1606 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,920 Speaker 3: is you wouldn't have any MPs. There is value in 1607 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:13,600 Speaker 3: some MPs representing the migrant Chinese community, there absolutely is. 1608 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,559 Speaker 3: I mean, those people have pretty specific and unique problems 1609 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,839 Speaker 3: and interests, and so having somebody in Parliament who represents 1610 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 3: them as fair absolutely fair enough. I don't think, Yeah, 1611 01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 3: I just don't think you can do it in New Zealand. 1612 01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,719 Speaker 3: But I take your sentiment listen that I've been waiting 1613 01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,559 Speaker 3: for this and I'm very happy to see that the 1614 01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 3: job has been filled. This is the New Zealand Olympics 1615 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,720 Speaker 3: Games mascot gig. The woman is this is the sweetest job. 1616 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 3: I don't know if you realize this, but absolutely is 1617 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:39,640 Speaker 3: the sweetest gig that was going in New Zealand for 1618 01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,880 Speaker 3: ages right gone now. Obviously Kate Thompson, head of Physical 1619 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,920 Speaker 3: Education and how the Carpety College has got it, she 1620 01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:47,720 Speaker 3: wasn't intending to get it. She tried to get the 1621 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,479 Speaker 3: kids at Carpety College to do it because she saw 1622 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 3: what a wonderful opportunity it was, but absolutely no one 1623 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,759 Speaker 3: wanted to enter. So the day before the entries closed 1624 01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 3: she was like, oh well, somebody has to do it older. 1625 01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,439 Speaker 3: So she got her class to help her with a video. 1626 01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 3: They went into the gym I think or something and 1627 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,120 Speaker 3: recorded it. She got another teacher to film it. The 1628 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,800 Speaker 3: film and design teacher did all of the editing and 1629 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 3: then one of the sports captains put it on Instagram 1630 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 3: and she got the gig. So as a result, they're 1631 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,840 Speaker 3: flying her to Paris. They're putting her up an accommodation. 1632 01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,479 Speaker 3: She gets to go to some events, gets to hang 1633 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,880 Speaker 3: out with the athletes, heye, which is great because she's 1634 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:22,600 Speaker 3: the head of physical education and house so she'll be 1635 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 3: fitters all now, don't give him a run for their money. 1636 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,639 Speaker 3: And all she has to do to have that sweet 1637 01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,320 Speaker 3: gig is make a clown of herself when she's dressed 1638 01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:30,760 Speaker 3: as a kiwi.

I just got to 1656 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,800 Speaker 3: tell you quickly. Transpower is asking households north of Walkworth 1657 01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,760 Speaker 3: who do not have power to please reduce the power outage. 1658 01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,400 Speaker 3: They the power usage. Rather, they say they don't yet 1659 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:23,760 Speaker 3: know when the power is going to be back on 1660 01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 3: for everyone, but it's going to take at least until 1661 01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 3: late tomorrow at the earliest, so you're in for the 1662 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,519 Speaker 3: long haul. Northland people with power are being told to 1663 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,160 Speaker 3: use less. For example, turn off the heaters, turn off 1664 01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,720 Speaker 3: the lights and rooms you're not using, use your large 1665 01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:42,639 Speaker 3: appliance as sparingly, only charge your electric vehicles as needed. 1666 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 3: Six twenty five and Jamie McKay's back, cal I say, Jamie, well. 1667 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 21: Someone turned the power out and the need an apologies 1668 01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,639 Speaker 21: for that, Heather. So anyhow, he tees off against Jill. 1669 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:55,160 Speaker 21: Just send us new political program about leading with kindness 1670 01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 21: and empathy. And I suggested to him that there's probably 1671 01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,759 Speaker 21: a few frogs and lizards around the cun who reckon 1672 01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:03,800 Speaker 21: he should sign up for this program here But anyhow, 1673 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 21: I'm just quoting him here. He said, Martua Shane Jones 1674 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,040 Speaker 21: from Katya always speaks about himself and the third person. 1675 01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:13,200 Speaker 21: It's not going to tolerate ever, any of that jewy 1676 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:16,639 Speaker 21: eyed naivete It'll be a long day in hell before 1677 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,719 Speaker 21: I join that pearl clutching group. And then I suggested 1678 01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:22,280 Speaker 21: to him that perhaps he could learn to speak to 1679 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,280 Speaker 21: people with hope and optimism rather than fear or blame, 1680 01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,639 Speaker 21: to unite rather than divide, and away he went again. 1681 01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:32,599 Speaker 21: He said, just cinders over there emotionally colonizing another part 1682 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 21: of the world, and the less I encounter of it 1683 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,439 Speaker 21: the better. And then we got to live animal export, 1684 01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,679 Speaker 21: and this is where he really took off. He said, 1685 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,240 Speaker 21: I think we should go ahead sooner rather than later 1686 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:46,439 Speaker 21: with exporting animals. And if a few rams die on 1687 01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:48,960 Speaker 21: the way, well that's just part of life. We can't 1688 01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,240 Speaker 21: preserve every single creature in the pursuit of fiscal solvency. 1689 01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,679 Speaker 21: Get real, So that's to change. 1690 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,880 Speaker 3: You've been wavering on this, you haven't been sure we 1691 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,560 Speaker 3: sit on the live animally sports. Has he changed your minds? 1692 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:02,320 Speaker 3: You firmed you up. 1693 01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,960 Speaker 21: Look, honestly, it's a very divisive it's a divisive issue, 1694 01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 21: and I think I've said to you that, to this 1695 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,240 Speaker 21: to you before, Heather. I think New Zealand farming has 1696 01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,160 Speaker 21: split down the middle on this one. Yes, it's a 1697 01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:20,679 Speaker 21: half billion dollar income earner, but there are some negatives 1698 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 21: with it as well. But I will say, you know, 1699 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 21: like the animal wealthy standards on these live exports ships 1700 01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,559 Speaker 21: is vastly different to what we had in the past. 1701 01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, what's the problem with the median barriers? 1702 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 21: Well, the median barriers. Let me have a look at 1703 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 21: that one. I thought we were talking about the ravo 1704 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:37,040 Speaker 21: farmer comfort. 1705 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,839 Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by the median barriers. 1706 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 21: All right, Well, go with the median barriers or you 1707 01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,080 Speaker 21: don't even start me on the orange cones here that 1708 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:45,160 Speaker 21: We'll just go with the median barriers at the moment. 1709 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:48,679 Speaker 21: So the rural contractors say the median barriers and barriers 1710 01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 21: are making roads unsafe and causing them stress for those 1711 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,000 Speaker 21: driving tractors with lines of cars behind them. These are 1712 01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 21: the tractors with the mowers or the silence makers or 1713 01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:00,679 Speaker 21: whatever as they're making the way down. Obviously, the cars 1714 01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:03,960 Speaker 21: can't get passed if there's a median barrier in the 1715 01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:07,720 Speaker 21: middle of the road. So these contractors driving tractors on 1716 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,320 Speaker 21: long stretches a road are being faced with abuse and 1717 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 21: being clipped by other drivers who can't pass them because 1718 01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 21: of those barriers. The guy who's running the Rural Contractors 1719 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,599 Speaker 21: group a chat by the name of Andrew Olsen said, look, 1720 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 21: and members are telling us it's becoming quite stressful because 1721 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 21: they're traveling down the road and they're tractors or machinery, 1722 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,720 Speaker 21: which they're entired to do, and then they end up 1723 01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,320 Speaker 21: with dozens of cars with impatient drivers like me behind them. 1724 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:32,639 Speaker 9: He said. 1725 01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:36,000 Speaker 21: It can be easily fixed by just putting casting bays 1726 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 21: or areas where contractors could easily and safely pull over 1727 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,719 Speaker 21: to let the others pass, and actually campa van drivers 1728 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:43,920 Speaker 21: could follow that leader as well. 1729 01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 3: It's actually not a bad piece. It's not a bad 1730 01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,479 Speaker 3: idea at all. Jamie, thank you so much. As always 1731 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:50,960 Speaker 3: Jamie McKay hosts of the Country, Right Sam Dickie's next 1732 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:52,479 Speaker 3: He's going to tell us what the next half of 1733 01:22:52,479 --> 01:23:00,640 Speaker 3: the year holds for the investor needs to zibyay. 1734 01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:05,200 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's headed due 1735 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,599 Speaker 1: for Cea Ellen with the Business Hours thanks to my HR, 1736 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:13,360 Speaker 1: the HR platform for SME on news talksb Cool. 1737 01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 3: Heather Rhymers in the Wide and Upper a couple of 1738 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:23,600 Speaker 3: weeks ago, it has been infected with median barriers and 1739 01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:27,639 Speaker 3: eighty k per hour speed limits on long straight roads 1740 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,240 Speaker 3: that have been one hundred k's since that speed limit 1741 01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:34,840 Speaker 3: came in. It was totally stupid. Yeah, medium barriers. Pretty 1742 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,760 Speaker 3: good for saving lives, but pretty good for getting you 1743 01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 3: frustrated at the same time. Christ Church, by the way, 1744 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 3: just in the last few hours, has been voted New 1745 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:45,679 Speaker 3: Zealand's Happiest City.

Yeah, 1752 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 3: and I got it right. Apparently the German looked at me. 1753 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:10,080 Speaker 3: That's why we need a European here for this kind 1754 01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,360 Speaker 3: of like weird names you've never heard of before. Aarhus 1755 01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 3: that's already called the city of smiles that's in the 1756 01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:20,519 Speaker 3: top spot. Then Zurich, then Berlin about that, yeah, then 1757 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:24,360 Speaker 3: somewhere in Sweden, somewhere in Netherlands, I Amsterdam. Of course 1758 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,640 Speaker 3: they are because they're geting Stone the whole time. And 1759 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,920 Speaker 3: all of the top seventeen cities are in Europe or 1760 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,400 Speaker 3: the UK. And then the first one that's from anywhere 1761 01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,799 Speaker 3: else comes in at number eighteen. It's Minneapolis in New Zealand. 1762 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,960 Speaker 3: Christ Church is thirty two, Wellington is fifty, and Auckland 1763 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 3: is seventy two. How is Wellington fifty? How is Wellington fifty? 1764 01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,479 Speaker 3: The only explanation for Wellington b I mean, like, we've 1765 01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,200 Speaker 3: featured Wellington in the show today at nauseum as none 1766 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,759 Speaker 3: of it's been good. So the only way that Wellington 1767 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:57,639 Speaker 3: can possibly be at fifty is because this was done 1768 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 3: before Tory became the mayor and before the job cuts 1769 01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:03,839 Speaker 3: in the public sector, because you know it's not there anymore. 1770 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:05,000 Speaker 3: Right twenty two away from. 1771 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,559 Speaker 2: Seven Heather du clohendegraded with. 1772 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,479 Speaker 3: Us in just about ten minutes time. We're thereabouts. Now 1773 01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,640 Speaker 3: we're almost halfway at the at the halfway point for 1774 01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,720 Speaker 3: the year. Of course, question is how different is the 1775 01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 3: investing environment now versus the start of the year. And 1776 01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:19,280 Speaker 3: to answer that question we have Sam Dickey of Fisher 1777 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 3: Funds with us. 1778 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 20: A Sam, Heather, Now, are you so very well? 1779 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,560 Speaker 3: Thank you so remind us of the economic backdrop and 1780 01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 3: the investing environment as we started the year. 1781 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,559 Speaker 5: Yes, So if we look at it through growth the 1782 01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:34,960 Speaker 5: lenses of and growth, inflation, interest rates, and equities to 1783 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 5: set up on January one was the market was still 1784 01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,720 Speaker 5: pretty cautious about US economic growth, for example, so they 1785 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:43,680 Speaker 5: are only forecast in a poultry one percent growth for 1786 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:48,679 Speaker 5: the year. Inflation had been tamed, but not completely conquered. 1787 01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 5: So global inflation, you remember back in the day it 1788 01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:52,960 Speaker 5: was at a high of ten percent and it was 1789 01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 5: at about five and a half percent of the start 1790 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 5: of the year. Bond investors had a slightly bitter year 1791 01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three, so they were feeling a little 1792 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,960 Speaker 5: bit less grim after the worst year in one hundred 1793 01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 5: and fifty years the year before, but still nothing to 1794 01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:06,519 Speaker 5: write home about. 1795 01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 20: Men. 1796 01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,320 Speaker 5: Finally, on the share market, those investors were feeling pretty 1797 01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:12,960 Speaker 5: good about life as they entered twenty twenty four. Remember 1798 01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 5: the strong rebound in equity markets in twenty twenty three 1799 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,880 Speaker 5: and within that, remember the twenty twenty three stock market 1800 01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:21,519 Speaker 5: performance was driven by a narrow bunch of stocks, and 1801 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,920 Speaker 5: I'm sure you remember the magnificent seven heather, Yeah, totally. 1802 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:26,000 Speaker 3: What does the backdrop look like. 1803 01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,920 Speaker 5: Now, though it's shifted a bit so through those shame 1804 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:33,559 Speaker 5: the same lenses. The US economy has just surprised positively 1805 01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:36,000 Speaker 5: all year, so economists are now expecting two and a 1806 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,240 Speaker 5: half percent growth for that all important economy, up from 1807 01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 5: that one percent initial forecast. Global inflation has fallen a 1808 01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,719 Speaker 5: little bit further, but still not fully wrestled to the ground. 1809 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,360 Speaker 5: Bond investors are still waiting for their day in the 1810 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,959 Speaker 5: sun and returns are approximately flat, and share market investors 1811 01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,120 Speaker 5: are enjoying another solid six months. So global equities are 1812 01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,120 Speaker 5: up twelve percent, But there is one little wrinkle heater, 1813 01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,639 Speaker 5: So you and I took back in March to April 1814 01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:04,679 Speaker 5: about the nice broadening out of the stock market rally 1815 01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,519 Speaker 5: after that very narrow rally in twenty twenty three, which 1816 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 5: was funny enough, correlated with that nice continuous positive surprise 1817 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,240 Speaker 5: in the US economic growth. Well, right now that US 1818 01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,520 Speaker 5: economic growth is still solid, but it's no longer accelerating, 1819 01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:21,519 Speaker 5: and the stock market rally is again really really narrow, 1820 01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:24,759 Speaker 5: so it's only been driven by less than a handful 1821 01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,000 Speaker 5: of stocks now, so Google, Apple and n Video. 1822 01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:30,280 Speaker 3: That's interesting. Remind us of the themes we've seen. What 1823 01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:31,760 Speaker 3: are the investments that are working and what are the 1824 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:32,280 Speaker 3: ones that are not. 1825 01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:35,799 Speaker 5: You and I've talked about it most of them, but 1826 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,000 Speaker 5: if we just picked three over the last six months 1827 01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,640 Speaker 5: we've talked about so you and I talked about how 1828 01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 5: Google and Apple were considered AI laggards or losers, which 1829 01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:47,719 Speaker 5: seemed absurd, and the lesson there is when high quality 1830 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,439 Speaker 5: companies are called losers, investors should basically pay attention. The 1831 01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:55,200 Speaker 5: second thing is we talked about how commodity prices and 1832 01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,560 Speaker 5: doctor copper in particular is a really good barometer of 1833 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 5: the health of the economy, and incident that price has 1834 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,759 Speaker 5: fallen a bit lately after a very strong run earlier. 1835 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:07,720 Speaker 5: And the other thing we talked about was how geopolitics 1836 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,560 Speaker 5: are of course sad, and elections garner a heck of 1837 01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:14,280 Speaker 5: a lot of headlines, they typically don't derail long term 1838 01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:15,560 Speaker 5: stock market investors. 1839 01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,240 Speaker 3: Why I mean, Sam, is it normal for a backdrop 1840 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:21,240 Speaker 3: to change so much? 1841 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 5: It's not. It's not normal. And if you look back 1842 01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:28,439 Speaker 5: over say the last twenty years or so, and if 1843 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 5: we used analyst forecasts of US GDP for the year ahead, 1844 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:36,280 Speaker 5: normally those forecasts will move around by maybe half a percent, 1845 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 5: maybe a percent until they land on the final actual number. 1846 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:41,840 Speaker 5: So that sort of think about that as forecasting era. 1847 01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:46,640 Speaker 5: Since COVID analysts are having a nightmare forecasting US and 1848 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:50,040 Speaker 5: global GDP grow, so the difference between the initial forecast 1849 01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:52,439 Speaker 5: and that final number can be as wide as two 1850 01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,400 Speaker 5: two and a half percent, so three to four times 1851 01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:56,679 Speaker 5: the normal forecasting era. 1852 01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 3: What does that mean for investors? 1853 01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 5: I think it means you stick to your knitting, so 1854 01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 5: you take a really long term view and you invest 1855 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,040 Speaker 5: in high quality, long term growth companies, and you shouldn't 1856 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:11,120 Speaker 5: normally be swayed by macro economic forecasts because they're normally wrong. 1857 01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 5: But especially so now in a post COVID world. 1858 01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:17,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, brilliant advice. Thank you very much. Sam appreciated it 1859 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:19,680 Speaker 3: has always talked again next week that Sam Dickey for 1860 01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:22,200 Speaker 3: your funds. Hither it's not the scene to barriers so 1861 01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,519 Speaker 3: often it's the barriers on the left where they can't 1862 01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:26,559 Speaker 3: move over. Thank you for that. Well, that's exactly why 1863 01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,240 Speaker 3: you need a passing lane on the left day. But 1864 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:32,120 Speaker 3: then you actually need them to use it, you really do. Hey, Finally, 1865 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 3: we give public transport so much grief because it leads 1866 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 3: us down so frequently. But finally, there is something really 1867 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 3: smart that's happening in public transport that, as you think, 1868 01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:44,240 Speaker 3: is going to it's going to bear fruit very soon. 1869 01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,320 Speaker 3: In Auckland. You're going to be able to get on 1870 01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,680 Speaker 3: a bus and just use your credit card or your 1871 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:50,439 Speaker 3: debit card or your phone or whatever to pay for 1872 01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:52,600 Speaker 3: the bus fare. At the moment, if you try to 1873 01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:54,320 Speaker 3: catch a bus, you need like a hop card or something. 1874 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:55,920 Speaker 3: I don't really know. You need to at card. I 1875 01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 3: don't not wanting it. You need a card. You need 1876 01:29:57,840 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 3: a card that I don't have. You need a card. 1877 01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:02,519 Speaker 3: Where do you get the card? I don't know? You 1878 01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:04,320 Speaker 3: have to go maybe down to the ferry terminal or 1879 01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 3: something like that, and buy the card. Who can be bothered? 1880 01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:07,680 Speaker 3: Who can be faffed with it? And I think, do you 1881 01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:09,800 Speaker 3: have to put money on the card as well? Oh no, 1882 01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:12,000 Speaker 3: I cannot be faffed with all that kind of thing, 1883 01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:13,680 Speaker 3: just all the off chance that maybe one day I 1884 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,840 Speaker 3: catch a bus. Now you don't need that anymore. Game changer. 1885 01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:18,880 Speaker 3: Auckland's the first place in the country that's going to 1886 01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 3: have it rolled out. It will happen this year. Second 1887 01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:25,640 Speaker 3: place in the country, tim Areu, Tim of Vegas, I 1888 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,559 Speaker 3: knew you were a big deal. Then christ Church early 1889 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,679 Speaker 3: next year they have plenty and in the cargo mid 1890 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:33,640 Speaker 3: next year, Wellington, hawks Bay late next year. All the 1891 01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:35,080 Speaker 3: other regions in the country are going to get it 1892 01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:38,440 Speaker 3: by the end of twenty twenty six. As I say, brilliant, 1893 01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,400 Speaker 3: because what it means is like, for example, if you've 1894 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,479 Speaker 3: got family members who live in Wellington, and we do, 1895 01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:45,280 Speaker 3: and then they come up to Auckland and they love 1896 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,200 Speaker 3: catching the bus in Wellington because they got whatever the 1897 01:30:47,240 --> 01:30:49,280 Speaker 3: card there is called, like a snaper card or something 1898 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:52,439 Speaker 3: like that. Who knows whatever, who knows are they come 1899 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:55,000 Speaker 3: here to Auckland, they do not have a card that 1900 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:56,680 Speaker 3: they can use. They can't catch the bus, but they 1901 01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 3: love catching the bus. Now they can just use a 1902 01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:01,160 Speaker 3: credit card. I don't know if Sammy and Brown is 1903 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:03,360 Speaker 3: responsible for that. He's the minister announcing it, but if 1904 01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:07,200 Speaker 3: he is game changer sixteen away from seven, whether it's. 1905 01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:10,519 Speaker 2: Macro microbe or just playing economics, it's. 1906 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:13,360 Speaker 1: All on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Allen and 1907 01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:17,880 Speaker 1: my HR, the HR platform for SME used talksb hither. 1908 01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:19,439 Speaker 3: You know there is an answer to being able to 1909 01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:21,680 Speaker 3: use the same thing to pay for public transport. It's 1910 01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:22,679 Speaker 3: this sole thing called cash. 1911 01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:23,240 Speaker 5: Haha. 1912 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:27,320 Speaker 3: Not in Auckland. You cannot get on the bus and 1913 01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:28,160 Speaker 3: use cash. 1914 01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:29,240 Speaker 24: This was so embarrassing. 1915 01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:29,479 Speaker 6: Heither. 1916 01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,639 Speaker 24: A couple of years ago, I realized that my hopcard 1917 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,519 Speaker 24: must have fallen out of my pocket or something. So 1918 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 24: I quickly fell out and I did have some change, 1919 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:37,599 Speaker 24: so I got up and stuck it in a little 1920 01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 24: change tray on the bus, and the bus driver just 1921 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:42,280 Speaker 24: looked at me like I was an absolute idiot and 1922 01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:45,320 Speaker 24: was like, we haven't taken cash for about two years, mate. 1923 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,639 Speaker 3: So two years ago they told you they hadn't taken 1924 01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 3: cash in two years two years. 1925 01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:50,120 Speaker 24: Yeah, that would have been like three or four years 1926 01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:50,559 Speaker 24: ago now. 1927 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:54,080 Speaker 3: So basically we stopped using cash in nineteen seventy five. Mate, 1928 01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:57,599 Speaker 3: thanks for the text, really appreciated into Brady our UK 1929 01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:58,640 Speaker 3: correspondence with us. 1930 01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,720 Speaker 21: Now, Hey Ender, Hey Hea, they're good to speak to 1931 01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:01,960 Speaker 21: you again. 1932 01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,080 Speaker 3: And did you see what happened to Tyler Swift's plan? 1933 01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:06,200 Speaker 3: Did you just see what happened to Tayler Swift's plane? 1934 01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:11,960 Speaker 21: Yes, So this is another headline by Just Stop Oil, 1935 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:16,439 Speaker 21: fresh from targeting Stonehenge yesterday. They've managed to get a 1936 01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:21,680 Speaker 21: small group of protesters into Stanstead Airport. It's a private airfield. 1937 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 21: Standstad is a huge public airport obviously, but there's a 1938 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 21: private airfield attached to it, and there's a private jet 1939 01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,880 Speaker 21: there used by Taylor Swift, and that and others have 1940 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:33,599 Speaker 21: been targeted by Just Stop Oil. So lots of paint 1941 01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:37,760 Speaker 21: thrown about. I would imagine a major investigation underway now 1942 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:40,559 Speaker 21: and a lot of anger here. People really won't care 1943 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,240 Speaker 21: about Taylor Swift's playing very much, but a lot of 1944 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:46,080 Speaker 21: anger about what they did at Stonehenge yesterday. 1945 01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,240 Speaker 3: Doesn't help at all that the stuff is going to 1946 01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:50,479 Speaker 3: wash off. Apparently it's like a water base. Painters will 1947 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:51,240 Speaker 3: just run off. 1948 01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:55,759 Speaker 20: So they're saying it's like made with corn powder or something. 1949 01:32:55,840 --> 01:33:00,639 Speaker 20: But look, Stonehenge has been there five thousand years, hasn't 1950 01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:04,559 Speaker 20: troubled Anyone doesn't contribute the climate change, is not involved 1951 01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:08,040 Speaker 20: in fossil fuel extraction. Apparently, they said they were making 1952 01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:10,200 Speaker 20: their point for the new government that they wanted to 1953 01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,320 Speaker 20: kind of bring the UK to a stance they'll get 1954 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:18,000 Speaker 20: people's attention and get a confirmation from the next government 1955 01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,000 Speaker 20: if it is going to be labor that they will 1956 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:25,120 Speaker 20: stop extracting fossil fuels in the North Sea. So look, 1957 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 20: they're just making themselves deeply, deeply unpopular. 1958 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,919 Speaker 3: You too, Right now, have you got another Conservative candidate 1959 01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 3: who's placed a bit on the election? 1960 01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:38,800 Speaker 20: Yes, so female candidate for the Conservatives standing in Bristol 1961 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:41,720 Speaker 20: in the West of England. And the Gambling Commission are 1962 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:46,000 Speaker 20: now handing over information to the authorities because yes, another 1963 01:33:46,040 --> 01:33:49,519 Speaker 20: bet went in predicting that there would be a July election. 1964 01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,439 Speaker 20: So in the last couple of weeks we've found out 1965 01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:56,919 Speaker 20: that Craig Williams, who is Parliamentary Private Secretary to Sunak, 1966 01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,639 Speaker 20: he placed a bet allegedly on there being the election. 1967 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 20: Last night we found out that a police protection officer 1968 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,760 Speaker 20: who works very closely with Sunak, he allegedly placed the 1969 01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:10,400 Speaker 20: bet on there being a July election. And now the 1970 01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,600 Speaker 20: Conservative candidate in Bristol is trouble for in trouble for 1971 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:14,639 Speaker 20: exactly the same. 1972 01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:15,400 Speaker 11: You know. 1973 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:18,680 Speaker 20: Obviously word was getting out, its spread like wildfire, and 1974 01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:20,720 Speaker 20: some people thought they would cash in and get down 1975 01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,320 Speaker 20: the bookies. It's going to come back and bite them 1976 01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:24,599 Speaker 20: in the bomb a big time. 1977 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. Richie's going to lose the seat, isn't he. 1978 01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:32,000 Speaker 20: So the latest poll reckons that he will. That's by 1979 01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 20: three hundred and eighty two votes. It'll be extremely tight. 1980 01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:39,520 Speaker 20: He's in Richmond in North Yorkshire, very affluent area, always conservative, 1981 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:43,320 Speaker 20: he lives in a mansion, and the latest polling has 1982 01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:46,920 Speaker 20: not only electoral wipeout for his party but him having 1983 01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:51,280 Speaker 20: the utter i mean ignominy of being booted out of 1984 01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:55,760 Speaker 20: Parliament and not even saving his own seat. So I 1985 01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:58,320 Speaker 20: think the family trip to California and the move out 1986 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,200 Speaker 20: of the UK's happening a lot quick. 1987 01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:03,160 Speaker 3: Here too, write I'm not surprised by this at all. 1988 01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:03,439 Speaker 6: End it. 1989 01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:06,880 Speaker 3: Thank you as always end of Brady our UK correspondent. 1990 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:10,160 Speaker 3: I don't I think you can't just go around paint 1991 01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:13,360 Speaker 3: like these guys might have made a big mistake. I 1992 01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,800 Speaker 3: don't think you can just go around painting over planes. 1993 01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:17,920 Speaker 3: I think it's one of those am I wrong? Like 1994 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:19,559 Speaker 3: there will be people who know more about the stuff 1995 01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,760 Speaker 3: than me, which is literally everybody. But I think that 1996 01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:24,360 Speaker 3: you have sensors on planes and you have to be 1997 01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,800 Speaker 3: really careful where you paint because otherwise, if you paint 1998 01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,120 Speaker 3: over the censor, you can have a crash. So I 1999 01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:31,880 Speaker 3: would imagine that these guys have caused a lot more 2000 01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:35,280 Speaker 3: carnage than they They just like cornflower, I'll just wash up. Now, 2001 01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:38,120 Speaker 3: Well what if it got stuck inside the censor and 2002 01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:41,080 Speaker 3: then Taita dies? Now you're in really big trouble, aren't you. 2003 01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:43,680 Speaker 3: Mate thought about that obviously not anyway, if you know 2004 01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,639 Speaker 3: more about that than me, which is which more most likely, 2005 01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:50,000 Speaker 3: please let me know. Nine two nine two Christich City 2006 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:54,080 Speaker 3: Council is quitting local government New Zealand. Says that they've 2007 01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,080 Speaker 3: made the call that they're going to quit local government 2008 01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,760 Speaker 3: New Zealand because it's the annual membershop costs have gone 2009 01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:00,519 Speaker 3: up by more than twenty thousand dollars is just not 2010 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 3: value for money anymore. Also, a report to the council 2011 01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:06,000 Speaker 3: ahead of the decision had pointed out that if the 2012 01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:08,800 Speaker 3: council had left local government New Zealand, it would be 2013 01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:11,479 Speaker 3: free to advocate more effectively and more specifically on things 2014 01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,360 Speaker 3: that actually matter to the city, rather obviously than having 2015 01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:17,200 Speaker 3: to advocate on things to fall into line with this 2016 01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,720 Speaker 3: big body representing all councils. Because let's be honest about it, right, 2017 01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:24,920 Speaker 3: if you're a council I don't know, let's just name one, Ashburton, right, 2018 01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:27,000 Speaker 3: you probably don't care about the same stuff that Auckland 2019 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:29,920 Speaker 3: Council cares about or kaipit. You probably don't share. I 2020 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,479 Speaker 3: mean there'll be some but largely there'll be a lot 2021 01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:36,000 Speaker 3: of stuff you have completely divergent views on. This though, 2022 01:36:36,080 --> 01:36:38,879 Speaker 3: is very bad for local government New Zealand because Auckland 2023 01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:42,400 Speaker 3: already left last year, So now the two biggest cities 2024 01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:44,840 Speaker 3: in the country have left local government New Zealand, and 2025 01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,519 Speaker 3: frankly I think everybody else should as well. Local government 2026 01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:50,639 Speaker 3: New Zealand is appalling. It's a waste of time and energy. 2027 01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:52,919 Speaker 3: If you look at what's going on in the media. 2028 01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:54,840 Speaker 3: Look at the number of times they pop up. It 2029 01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,000 Speaker 3: seems to me that the biggest issue that local government 2030 01:36:57,040 --> 01:36:59,360 Speaker 3: New Zealand's got at the moment as far as their advocacy, 2031 01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:06,320 Speaker 3: is Maori Wards on councils. Really, if you think about 2032 01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:08,040 Speaker 3: all the stuff that these guys are facing, They've got 2033 01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:10,439 Speaker 3: infrastructure issues up and down the country, they've got water 2034 01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 3: services issues, they've got massively increasing rates, on and on 2035 01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:17,559 Speaker 3: and on the list goes. But Maori Ward's huge deal 2036 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,080 Speaker 3: for local government New Zealand. I would do any other 2037 01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,479 Speaker 3: council out there that's like, just get out, why are 2038 01:37:23,479 --> 01:37:25,280 Speaker 3: you wasting your time for seven away from seven? 2039 01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:29,760 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro, MicroB or just playing economics. It's all 2040 01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:33,439 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy Allen and my HR, 2041 01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,840 Speaker 1: the HR platform for sme US talksp. 2042 01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:38,439 Speaker 3: Here that do you remember there was an Air New 2043 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,759 Speaker 3: Zealand plane that crashed on a test flight in France 2044 01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,080 Speaker 3: due to improper painting and washing of a sensor. So 2045 01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:46,000 Speaker 3: this could absolutely cause serious problems. Thank you for remembering that. 2046 01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,680 Speaker 3: Fair point five away from seven. Hey, listen, here's the 2047 01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:51,680 Speaker 3: latest bit of gold from Trumpy at a rally. He 2048 01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:54,280 Speaker 3: suggested that Joe Biden, for the first debate, is going 2049 01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:55,280 Speaker 3: to be pumped up on coke. 2050 01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:57,400 Speaker 2: Joe Biden doesn't have a clue. 2051 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 14: Now we're going to watch, Is anybody going to watch 2052 01:37:59,280 --> 01:37:59,799 Speaker 14: the debate? 2053 01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:08,599 Speaker 2: He's gonna be so pumped up. He's gonna be pumped up. 2054 01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,240 Speaker 14: You know all that stuff that was missing about a 2055 01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:12,000 Speaker 14: month ago. 2056 01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:12,719 Speaker 7: From the White House? 2057 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:18,840 Speaker 14: What happened? Somebody didn't pick up hundreds of thousands of 2058 01:38:18,920 --> 01:38:20,200 Speaker 14: dollars worth of cocaine. 2059 01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:21,559 Speaker 7: I wonder who that could uppen? 2060 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:26,520 Speaker 14: I don't know, Actually I think it was Joe. 2061 01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,599 Speaker 3: Anyway, he seems to be referring to an incident where 2062 01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:31,200 Speaker 3: a bag of coke was found in the cubby hole 2063 01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:33,760 Speaker 3: at the White House last year. But that bag was 2064 01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:36,880 Speaker 3: less of a was in the bag was less than 2065 01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:40,679 Speaker 3: a gram, So even with inflation, it wouldn't be worth 2066 01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:42,439 Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of dollars, would it ends? 2067 01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 24: And Donald Trump strikes me as the sort of person 2068 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,080 Speaker 24: who probably knows how much coke costs. 2069 01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 3: Do you think so?
