1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can try the truck to 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: ask the question, you get the answers, find and give 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: the analysis. Heather Duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: and the power of satellite mobile news dogs There be. 5 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 2: Afternoon. Welcome to the show. Coming up today, Associate Energy 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: Minister Shane Jones on the fuel price shooting up, Greg 7 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: Smith of Generate on the stock markets tumbling down, and 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: we're going to tell you about mining asteroids. 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 3: Heather Dupericy Allen, Look, I. 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: Know that we're all going to have different points at 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 2: which we think media reaction to a news story gets silly. 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: But for me, it was this morning members of the 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: media chasing the Prime Minister through Wellington Airport asking him 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: whether he was considering resigning and if he has the 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 2: full support of his caucus. To me, seems a little 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: bit silly, silly because it's not as if he's gone 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: to ground for the last four days, is it. I mean, 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: he was on morning media this morning, he did two 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: radio intervis and at least one TV appearance appearance and 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: is also going to front for a post cabinet press 21 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: conference which should be kicking off now. So they're not 22 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: star of opportunities to talk to the Prime Minister without 23 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: chasing him through a crowded hall. It also creates the 24 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: impression of drama where really no drama exists. There is 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: no coupe. All of his ministers are backing him publicly. Privately, yeah, 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: maybe a little less so, but publicly they are. Luxon 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: is the leader until he has talked out of being 28 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: the leader, and there's no indication that that's happening either. 29 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: In short, nothing is happening in the short term. 30 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 4: Now. 31 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: If I have to try to understand why the media 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: wanted to chase him through the airport, maybe it's because 33 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: they sense that things have shifted, and that is true. 34 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: Since the poll on Friday morning that put the National 35 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: Party at twenty eight percent, two things have changed. The 36 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: first is that ministers who previously gave complete backing too 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: Luxon are now privately doing it with a caveat. Yeah, 38 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: I support him, there's a butt, but he is quite 39 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: bad at taking advice. But he made a bad call 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: with X, y Z whatever. They've dropped their full confidence 41 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: in him. That tells me something is going on in 42 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: their heads. The second thing is that he has now 43 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 2: entered I think publicly dead man walking territory, every bad 44 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: poll from here on in, every big mistake that he 45 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: makes from here on in, and he will we'll revive 46 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: talk about his leadership. And that is a slow bleed 47 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: out for a leader. It ends in one of two ways, 48 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: a spanking on election day or the leader finally calling 49 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: it quits and going now. I think he's in that space. 50 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: I don't think the coalition government loses the election at 51 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: this rate, but I think the National Party comes back 52 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: as a mini version of itself and that's not a 53 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 2: good thing for them. 54 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 5: Now. 55 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: Maybe that electoral prognosis is what's got the media so 56 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: excited that they're chasing him through the airport. That though, 57 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: I think is a medium term thing today, I think 58 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: the brief excitement of the weekend and just before the 59 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: weekend is over and nothing is going to happen. 60 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: Heather duplusy Ellen. 61 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: Nine two ninety two is the text number now. Athletics 62 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: New Zealand says we've got a little bit of a 63 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: dilemma on our hands that we're going to have to 64 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: solve if we want to host the twenty thirty four 65 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: Commonwealth Games. We need somewhere to put the track and 66 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: field and apparently none of our existing venues are up 67 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: to snuff. Now Cam Mitchell is in India. He's the 68 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: Athletics New Zealand Chief executive. High Camp on what's wrong 69 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 2: with our facilities? 70 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 6: Oh, look, the facilities I guess are more based around 71 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 6: sort of community or domestic level athletics, so you know 72 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 6: they're adequate for that level of athletics. But if we 73 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 6: are looking to host international athletics and we're also looking 74 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 6: to grow our sport and create special moments like we 75 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 6: had on Saturday Night with track Stars, then I guess 76 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 6: the infrastructure needs they grow and so we've got to 77 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 6: keep up with the requirements we have as we grow 78 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 6: as a sport. 79 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: Are you talking about what is actually happening on the 80 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: field or is it what's going on in the stands, 81 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: like the ability to hold more people. 82 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 6: Look, it's a bit of both, I mean predominantly, I 83 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 6: guess it's the wrap around support within the venue, the 84 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 6: ability to run on backstraights, for example, and have the 85 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 6: right time to equipment the right screens. Those sorts of 86 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 6: things play a major role in performance, particularly for sprinters 87 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 6: that typically or definitely want to run with a tow 88 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 6: wood not into a headwind, so setting infrastructure, know, all 89 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 6: those sorts of things with positive fan experiences. You know, 90 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 6: in terms of the athletics requirements, I guess none of 91 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 6: our facilities are one hundred percent optimal. So there are 92 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 6: some minor adjustments we need to make at some of them. 93 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 6: But I guess it more sits around the fact that 94 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 6: if we are wanting to host major events with regards 95 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 6: to athletics, that you know that at the moment there 96 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 6: isn't anything that's optimal. 97 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: So this is this doesn't sound like a complete build. 98 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: It sounds like a renovation or a tweak at an 99 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 2: existing venue. Is that right? 100 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 7: Yep, that could be one option. 101 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 6: But you know, ideally from our perspective, you know, having 102 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 6: a home of athletics that's that's able to sort of 103 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 6: cater for international quality events would be it would be 104 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 6: something we would love to have. So you know, Mount 105 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 6: Smart was obviously the home of athletics, but was converted 106 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 6: to being a rugby league field once the Warriors sort 107 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 6: of kicked off in the mid nineties and then q 108 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 6: E two obviously with the earthquakes, you know, has been 109 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 6: replaced with Napuna Win and christ Church which is a 110 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 6: really good domestic level facility, but doesn't necessarily built for 111 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 6: fans and. 112 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 7: Broadcasts and those sorts of things. 113 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 6: So certainly the broadcast infrastructure and lighting infrastructure required for broadcast. 114 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 6: You know, really it's only Trust Arena and West Stalklond 115 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 6: that has anything that. 116 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 7: Would meet those requirements. 117 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 6: So every venue has got its own quirk and little challenges, 118 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 6: and nothing is quite optimal. And I guess I guess 119 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 6: that's something that we're keen to sort of work. You know, 120 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 6: there is this National Sports Facility Strategy being developed by 121 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 6: the government, so we're sort of feeding into that and 122 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 6: making sure that we're around the table and that athletics 123 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 6: it's probably viewed in a different light to what it 124 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 6: has been in recent times. You know, we're a sport 125 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 6: that's on the move, we're starting to attract larger audiences. 126 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 7: We've now got a TV product in place. 127 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 6: So I think they're really good conversations for us to 128 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 6: be having as we try and reset the sport. 129 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 7: You know, facilities do. 130 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 6: Create great experiences for fans and also I guess the 131 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 6: athletes themselves obviously. 132 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: I mean, how do you write your chances that you're 133 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: going to get anything particularly Flash, because I thought half 134 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: the pitch for the twenty thirty four Colm Games is 135 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: that we wouldn't have to pay anything. We basically had 136 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: the facilities ready to go. So it feels to me 137 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: like you're probably you're probably out of luck on that. 138 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 6: What do you think, Oh, look, I think we'll see 139 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 6: what comes out of the National Sports Facility strategy and 140 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 6: you know, and just reflect on that. 141 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 7: But you know, what do you expect from available to 142 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 7: build something new? 143 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 6: Then clearly we'd be looking at how we can work 144 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 6: to enhance what we've got and make it as good 145 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 6: as we can. 146 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: What are you expecting out of that strategy? 147 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 7: Look, I guess the home of Athletics would be great 148 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 7: for us. 149 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 6: There's there's no short track in New Zealand, so short 150 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 6: track or indoor athletics tracks which are two hundred meters. 151 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 7: Australasia doesn't have a short track. 152 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 6: So that also creates new event opportunities for this part 153 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 6: of the world that we haven't been able to look 154 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 6: at before. So you know, having facilities like that are advantageous. Yeah, 155 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 6: So I guess you know, in terms of that facility 156 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 6: strategy itself, we're not quite sure what that will produce you, 157 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 6: but we've certainly had really positive dialogue through the process. Yeah, 158 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 6: and we'll wait and see. I mean, the rarey for 159 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 6: the country if they want to host the Commonwealth Games, 160 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 6: and then there's going to have to find a solution 161 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 6: whether that be temporary or permanent for athletics, because I 162 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 6: think most if not all of the other sports actually 163 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 6: have for Saliza adequate at the moment. 164 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 7: Athletics is probably the only one where that isn't the case. 165 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: Hey, did you watch the cricket I did. 166 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 7: Yes, Yes, I'm obviously in India. 167 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 6: Flew out on Saturday nights straight after the athletics, so 168 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 6: I watched it in a bar in the hotel with 169 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 6: a whole lot of Indians that were very happy.

More full sight than the rest 200 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: of us.

Right, 204 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: So could they have done anything differently this morning? 205 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 8: Well, I guess the only thing they could physically have 206 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 8: done is batted first upon winning the toss. But that's 207 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 8: very much hindsight. Being twenty twenty and all of the 208 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 8: information going into the game was the best strategy would 209 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 8: be if you won the toss to send your opposition 210 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 8: in because bowling's a bit more difficult later on in 211 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 8: these games as the lights go down. But look, I 212 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 8: look at it, and I just watched the way I 213 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 8: got up at what to watch this game at two 214 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 8: thirty this morning, and by about three o'clock India had 215 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 8: got ninety off the first six overs and the game 216 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 8: was very much taken away from the black Apps. I 217 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 8: just think it's one of those where India just absolutely 218 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 8: monstered us, regardless of what we did. Bowling wise, they 219 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 8: just took it to us the top three one hundred 220 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 8: and ninety odd runs off ninety balls between the three 221 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 8: of them, two fifty five, and I don't think we're 222 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 8: ever chasing that down. So yeah, one fifty nine. It 223 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 8: looks like a big loss enitors. I don't know that 224 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 8: there's anything they could do in hindsight against such a 225 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 8: powerful Indian team this morning. 226 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: Is it possible that they did just play their final 227 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: one game too early? 228 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 8: Very much, So that's possible. Yeah, good win against South Africa, 229 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 8: and that's not the first time that's happened. 230 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 9: Heither. 231 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 8: They've had good wines and semi finals before the black Caps. 232 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 8: I think back to twenty fifteen Grant Elliott's six, you 233 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 8: know down the ground, that iconic moment that got us 234 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 8: into that World Cup final. We beat India in twenty 235 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 8: nineteen to make the World Cup final. Just haven't quite 236 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 8: been able to make that second step, even the Champions 237 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 8: Trophy last year. We put three sixty on Australia to 238 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 8: make that final and again couldn't get across the line. 239 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 8: So maybe we just peak one game too early. 240 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 2: I don't know, yep. Maybe Now Locke, who sits next 241 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: to me in the office from time to time reckons 242 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: that this is the last season for Liam Lawson because 243 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: he's just not good enough. 244 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, I know Locke a little bit, and look, I 245 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 8: far be it from me to cast dispersions on his 246 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 8: Formula one. 247 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: Knowledge massive one. 248 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 10: Yeah. 249 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 8: Well one race though, and he stalled on the line. 250 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 8: That's not his fault, is it. That's the fold of 251 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 8: the car by the sounds of it, you know, there's 252 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 8: Liam Lawson. Honestly, It's like when you're at the traffic lights, 253 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 8: isn't it, and you're driving a manual and the light 254 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 8: goes green and you're supposed to go in your stare. 255 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 8: That's what it looked like. And he almost got rare 256 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 8: ended Li and Lawson. That's not supposed to happen, is it? 257 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 8: Just like Isa Hatjas car is not supposed to catch fire. 258 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 8: You know, Oscar Piastri didn't even make it to the 259 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 8: start line. So are they all all of a sudden 260 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 8: bad drivers? I think we need a bigger body of 261 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 8: work to make that a sense. 262 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 2: For Tiny I mean, he got a chance, he got relegated. 263 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: He just he's almost there, but he just never manages 264 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: to break through to that next level. 265 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 8: He was given two races for Red Bull, wasn't he 266 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 8: And I think he started to really get the hang 267 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 8: of it last year. I think we all hoped that 268 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 8: from eighth on the grid he qualified eighth. Let's not 269 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 8: forget that that he would get points and start to 270 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 8: consistently perform. I'm absolutely not willing to write him off 271 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 8: after one race, but I'll be interested to see how 272 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 8: he rebounds in China this coming weekend. 273 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: Hey Piney, thank you very much. Really appreciate it. Jason 274 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 2: pine Sports Store, Coast. Piney's problem is he's too nice. 275 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: Piney is very nice. Poney is one of the nicest 276 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 2: people you'll meet, so he doesn't want to write anybody off. 277 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: But on the length of what Locke told me, I'm 278 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: going to officially right Liam Lawson off and say it's 279 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: it's the last season. But then again, because I've got 280 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: one out of one, I've got one prediction right last 281 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: week and one prediction wrong, so this could be the tiebreaker, 282 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: but we'll only have to find out next year. I 283 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 2: suppose I were the end of the year. I've got 284 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: a record. Actually on the f one got a record 285 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 2: for you, which is in terms of the crowd attendance. 286 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: They never had as many people through in Melbourne for 287 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: the F one. They had a total of four hundred 288 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: and eighty three thousand, nine hundred and thirty four people 289 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: through the gates across the first four days Thursday, which 290 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: was really interesting because there was no F one track action. 291 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 2: It was just supercars basically, and the people got a 292 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 2: chance to walk around the track and stuff like that. 293 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: That was their biggest day in terms of lifting on 294 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: previous years. Crowd of eighty six two hundred and ten. 295 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 2: That's fourteen thousand more than last year's appearance and beats 296 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: the last record of two thousand and five five about 297 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 2: eight thousand people. So it's not bad over there. For 298 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: twenty two. 299 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: The headlines and the hard questions, it's the mic asking breakfast. 300 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 11: Too, Prime Minister is well us, did you spend any 301 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 11: time over the weekend quote unquote considering you position? 302 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: Absolutely not. 303 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 11: The other headline was pressure is mounting? Is the pressure mounting? 304 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 12: No, there's pressure in this job every day, but my 305 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 12: job is pretty straightforward.

If we can just go 343 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 12: one at a time and politely with each other, so 344 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 12: we respect each. 345 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: Other the mistakes of Monday. Apparently with the journal is 346 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: asking too many questions all at once. Decide for yourself 347 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 2: if that was a mistake of Monday.

Would look, 351 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: there is a case there is a strong case to 352 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: be made that maybe the press gallery is a bit 353 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: bored and this was the most exciting thing that's happened 354 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: in a long time. So you know, I can't. I can't, 355 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: I can't. I can't say you're wrong on that. News 356 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: is next more also going to go. 357 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 14: To ospog. 358 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 15: Can care. 359 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 3: Digging deeper into the Das headlines. 360 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: It's Heather duplicy Ellen Drive with one New Zealand coverage. 361 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 3: Like no one else news talks.

Iran has 365 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: picked the new Supreme Leader leader. As expected, it's the 366 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: son of Ali Kamene Harmine. Probably not going to be 367 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: a better prospect for the world and the US and 368 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: Israel in particular, given that the US and Israel bombing 369 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: killed his dad and his mum and his wife and 370 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: his son. Israel has already pledged that they're going to 371 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: take him out.

Hipkins has an appalling record, 376 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: but the media love him. If that's not biased, What 377 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: is it? Twenty four away from five? 378 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news talks, they'd be drive. 379 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: What Taba Kabanet, the son of Ali Kamene, has been 380 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: made the new Supreme Leader of Iran.

But the problem is, Ollie, 430 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: I always feel really excited because that the NRL boys 431 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: are fast eight. They play a fast game, they're really 432 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 2: good at it. But when they come over to rugby union, 433 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: they get bogged down by the crap that goes on 434 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: in rugby union and then they never really fire.

Now Brent crude has skyrocket 455 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 18: as much as twenty five percent today, so it's US 456 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 18: one hundred and fifteen dollars a barrel. It's our worst 457 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 18: day since Liberation Day in April of last year, all lords, 458 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 18: as I said, off one hundred and twenty billion dollars 459 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 18: in value, and we're all just sort of gnuttering our 460 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 18: fingernails at the moment. The A six two hundred down 461 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 18: and four point two percent as we speak now, and 462 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 18: the oil price if you look at it over the 463 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 18: last month, the chart, I mean, we go back to 464 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 18: the start of this month at seventy dollars a barrel 465 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 18: as we talk right now, at surge past one hundred 466 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 18: and fifteen dollars a barrel. 467 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: That is quite extraordinary, that little line upwards in the 468 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: last few days as wild a. Yeah, okay, now, so 469 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 2: what is it that the Coalition is worried about if 470 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: they want to have a new level of vetting for 471 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: migrants from some countries. 472 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 18: So what they're looking to do is they're going to 473 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 18: consider forcing people who appeal their visa cancelations to do 474 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 18: so in their country of origin rather than granted bridging visas. 475 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 9: Now, this is something. 476 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 18: Which has been quite interesting at the moment because clogging 477 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 18: up not only the courts, but it's cloging up obviously 478 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 18: all of our Pacific islands as well with Australians or 479 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 18: want to be Australians who are trying to appeal that 480 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 18: process and that can now take years and years and years. 481 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 18: So what the Coalition is trying to do, and it's 482 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 18: quite complicated, but effectively change the legislation going back to 483 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 18: the sixties I think it's the fifties in fact, which 484 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 18: would mean that somebody would potentially return to their country 485 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 18: of origin while waiting for their application to be processed 486 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 18: or maybe overturned. Whether or not the Opposition is able 487 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 18: to do that. Well, that would be obviously a stroke 488 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 18: of the pen from the Parliament. But this is at 489 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 18: the moment also being looked at by various different agencies 490 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 18: around the world, the likes of the United Nations, etc. 491 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 18: Saying you know, the Australians obviously have a responsibility to 492 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 18: people who might be coming to their country and not 493 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 18: forcing them back into countries where they have fled for 494 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 18: whatever reason it may be. So this is something that 495 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 18: obviously Angus Taylor is trying to wean back that one 496 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 18: nation vote again, Heather, He's got that bi election in 497 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 18: Farah at the moment that he's keeping a close eye 498 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 18: on Susan Lee's former seat, the polls pointing towards a 499 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 18: one nation vote. So these are the sorts of policy 500 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 18: areas that the Coalition is trying to dance in at 501 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 18: the moment to we a very disaffected, disenfranchised Australian voter. 502 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: Now what's Jbhifi done. 503 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 18: Well, what they've done is on sold these ideas of 504 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 18: additional warranties to people that they actually don't need. Under 505 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 18: Australian consumer law, you know, if something breaks you by 506 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 18: four thousand dollars television, it breaks within two years, it 507 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 18: should be repaired or replaced. They've been selling basically junk 508 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 18: warranties to say you can have this, you know, for five, six, 509 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 18: seven years. One of the big law firms here, Morris 510 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 18: Blackburn's taking them on saying effectively they're not worth the 511 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 18: paper they're printed on or the text message that you receive. 512 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 9: And there's a bit to that. 513 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 18: Like the Consumer Agency and watchdogs around the States and 514 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 18: the territories here in Australia tend to agree. So I 515 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 18: reckon this one might have a little bit of success 516 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 18: getting those every junt warranties that you don't need or 517 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 18: because you think you need it right now, but doesn't 518 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 18: everybody you don't sell. 519 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: You this crap and you just no lead in New Zealand. 520 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: You just got to say no. 521 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 9: Now, yeah, well that's right, you got to say no. 522 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 18: But you know, you think I've bought a four thousand 523 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 18: dollars TENV if I've pay another couple of hundred bucks 524 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 18: to make sure it doesn't break in ten years, I'll 525 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 18: do it. 526 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 9: But you don't need it to right. 527 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose you've got to note you've got to 528 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: listen to Consumer New Zealand. Ollie, thank you appreciated. Oliver 529 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: Peterson ABC Perth Radio Drive presenter eighteen away from five 530 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 2: hear the duple So on the petrol tax. I think 531 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: probably what the government is up to is they're not 532 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 2: going to drop the petrol tax. But if you recall correctly, 533 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 2: they are going to raise the petrol tax by about 534 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 2: twelve cents from next year. It sounds like they might 535 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 2: not do that. Avolystent to Nikolaullis, Finance Minister. 536 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 13: Well, we haven't legislated for that change yet and I 537 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 13: think it's appropriate that before we do so, we take 538 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 13: into account the latest market conditions and what's happening for 539 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 13: the petrol price at the pump, and that's what we 540 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 13: will do. So Cabinet will give consideration to that issue 541 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 13: when we have better information now. 542 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 2: Fair enough in a wise move, But the problem is 543 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,959 Speaker 2: it doesn't do anything that's next year, don't do anything 544 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 2: for what's going on right now. In twenty twenty six, 545 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 2: barisop will talk us through it when he's with us 546 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: seventeen away from five. 547 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: Politics with Centrics Credit check your customers and get payments certainty. 548 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: Greg Smith degenerate will be with us after five o'clock 549 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 2: and just talk us through the tumble on the n 550 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: ZX right now, fourteen away from five and Barrisober, senior 551 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,719 Speaker 2: political correspondent, is with us. High Barry, good afternoon, howther right, 552 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 2: So I'm imagining that Chris Luxon got lots of questions 553 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 2: on the leadership business. 554 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 19: Well, no, I've just come from the news conference now 555 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 19: and it is over half an hour and they just started, 556 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 19: and of course he's repeated what he has said, well 557 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 19: what he said on the station on Friday afternoon, that 558 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 19: he's not looking over his shoulder, he's not developing the 559 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 19: Battle of Britain, twitch he's getting on with business. And 560 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 19: when they asked him about that in the press conference today, 561 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 19: he said that's exactly what he's going to do and 562 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 19: certainly seemed to have the backing of Nichola Willis, who's standing. 563 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 19: I guess her career really depends on Chris Luxon and 564 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 19: she was standing beside him. But it was a bit 565 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 19: of a scrum for the politicians coming down to Wellington 566 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 19: for Parliament today, the media waiting out at the airport 567 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 19: for them, and I mean a stuff headline said watch 568 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 19: Luxe and avoids question on arrival and Wellington. Well, he's 569 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 19: already said what he was going to say. You know, 570 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 19: are you worried about your leadership being maybe compromised by 571 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 19: your performance last week? Well, of course he's already said 572 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 19: that he doesn't feel it is, and would seem by 573 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 19: all the politicians that were interviewed on the way in. 574 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 19: But it's the old story, isn't it that you, as 575 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 19: leader of the last person to know if there's a 576 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 19: plot against you. But no, no, there's not. No, No, 577 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 19: absolutely there's not. But what I'm saying is that, you know, 578 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 19: a leader can always sound confident right up until the 579 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 19: caucus vote. There's a caucus tomorrow. But I don't think 580 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 19: anything like that will happen. I think the National Party 581 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 19: will look realistically at these figures, say it's a bloody 582 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 19: tough time and with the Middle East crisis now being underway, 583 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 19: it's going to make it even tougher for them. I 584 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 19: think they acknowledge that, although they say we're in pretty 585 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 19: good shape on many aspects of the economy at the moment, 586 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 19: so if it's a short term war, we'll be much 587 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 19: better off. But of course, the public already finding the 588 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 19: price at the petrol pump. At some bowsers have gone 589 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 19: up already. 590 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 14: And yet we have. 591 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 19: Almost a month storage in place. So wine Earth petrol 592 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 19: companies can put up their prices to over three dollars 593 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 19: now is beyond me because they've been assured that they'll 594 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 19: have a supply. We also have a deal with Singapore 595 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 19: that was negotiated quite recently where Singapore will supply us 596 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 19: with emergency fuel in situations like this and we'll supply 597 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 19: them with food. So we've got to back up in Singapore. 598 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: So when you say three dollars, you are talking about premium, 599 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: not assumed ninety one. Do you think that the media 600 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: chasing the Prime Minister through the airport today was just over. 601 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 4: The top, Well, yes, I do, because you know he 602 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 4: had already said he'd been on done all the media 603 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: rounds this morning, was on this program, he was on 604 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 4: the Radio New Zealand program in the morning, so he's 605 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 4: done all the rounds. 606 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 14: He's been nice. 607 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 19: Yeah, what's the point. But you know they door stopped 608 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 19: Judith Collins on the way through the airport as well. 609 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 19: She stopped and said he's got nothing to worry about. 610 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 19: The Caucuses on board with him, So you know it's 611 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 19: a bit of it's not a storm in a teacup 612 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 19: because a twenty eight point four rating the opinion polls 613 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 19: is certainly not a good place for the National Party 614 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 19: to be. But I'm always of the view, with the exception. 615 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 2: Of the war, that it will be in the media 616 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 2: are behaving on Monday as they should have behaved on Friday, Right, 617 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: this is Friday story. We've already tied a bow on 618 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: the thing and it's over, and then two three days 619 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 2: later we're getting him chased through the airport. That should 620 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: have happened on Friday. Anyway, does it sound to you 621 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 2: like the government is not going to cut petrol tax, 622 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: but is going to stop the pedal petrol tax increase 623 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 2: of twelve cents for next year. 624 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 19: Well, they haven't legislated for it yet, so it's got 625 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 19: it's got to be passed in legislation before they can 626 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 19: increase it by twelve percent. Don't forget there was a 627 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 19: freeze on it for some time. Jasin Dardurn, I think 628 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 19: it was in twenty twenty two or something. She in 629 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 19: fact reduced the petrol tax by twenty five cents a liter. 630 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 2: As temporary though. 631 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 19: Yeah, oh absolutely, it's temporary, And that's what Luxem was 632 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 19: asked about today. But Nikola willis standing by his side. 633 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 19: She says there will be no petrol tax reductions in 634 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 19: the short term. 635 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 13: I think this is a time for politicians to tell 636 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 13: the truth, which is there is no easy answer on that, 637 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 13: because if we are to suddenly reduce petrol tax, actually 638 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 13: every taxpayer pays for that, and they pay for that 639 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 13: in a couple of ways. They pay for that both 640 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 13: in terms of reduced activity on our roads, but potentially 641 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 13: they also pay for that and increase borrowing, increased interest costs, 642 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 13: and increased debt. So what New Zealanders can expect from 643 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 13: us is that we will weigh that sensibly in order 644 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 13: to deliver the best medium term security for New Zealanders. 645 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 19: So it's in abeyance actually at the moment, you could say, 646 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 19: and it depends on the length of this Middle Eastern 647 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 19: debarcle just when it finishes. And if it's over in 648 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 19: a couple of weeks, then I think we'll be looking 649 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 19: much better. 650 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 2: Do you think that they will rethink that? I mean, 651 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: is this an absolute flat no to the petrol tax cut? No, 652 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 2: it's not, okay. 653 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 19: I mean, you know, this is election yere and the 654 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 19: public is suffering enough now and they've got a big 655 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 19: petrol bill to pay as well. I think the government 656 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 19: won't wear that. 657 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, barr thanks very much, appreciate it. Barry So for 658 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: Senior political correspondent. Eight away from five on Christopher Luxean, 659 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: do you know what I actually think, having listened back 660 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: to his interviews this morning, having caught it basically everything 661 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: that he's done, all the MPs and stuff, that I 662 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 2: think everybody is doing a pretty admirable job of just 663 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: falling into line saying the right things. There's is always 664 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: the odd one. There's always the odd one, isn't there 665 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 2: who just angles it?

It's just a 679 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 2: stock standard DDLE. We will have Trisherson and JOSEPHC. Garney 680 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 2: and they have been waiting since Friday five o'clock when 681 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: they were bumped by the Prime Minister for their opportunity 682 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 2: to say something, so they will be with us at 683 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: twenty to six. Also going to talk, by the way, 684 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 2: in the next half hour about what's going on with 685 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: people learning today. L Marty, it's just going through the roof. 686 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: Last year, twenty three hundred and eighty two students were 687 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: taught the curriculum through trell Mary more than half the time. 688 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: That is up seventy one percent in the last twenty 689 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 2: five years. In two thousand was only sixteen thousand odds students. Also, 690 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: close to five hundred students are learning today at levels 691 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: three to six of Marty Immersion, which is to be honest, 692 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 2: I mean we're not talking about anything particularly like intense here. 693 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 2: It's basically songs and greetings at the start all the 694 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 2: way through to about twelve and a half hours of 695 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 2: language learning a week. That is the highest recorded figure 696 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 2: the problem that we've got, which has always been the 697 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 2: problem that's been predicted, is that while the demand goes 698 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: up at the supply of the teachers doesn't match. So 699 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: quite what we do there when I'm not sure, we're 700 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 2: going to talk to? Stacey Morrison, who's a Mardi language expert, 701 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 2: beat us in twenty minutes time on that. Also, the 702 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 2: Mayor of Wellington, Andrew Little. Now I don't know if 703 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 2: you recall me talking about this last week, but Wellington 704 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 2: City Council is starting to agitate low level and I 705 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: bet they're going to ramp this up. But they want 706 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 2: to see the government start to pay rates in Wellington 707 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 2: because government buildings around the country are exempt from paying rates. 708 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 2: So it's parliament, it's the obvious things like parliament, but 709 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 2: it's also school buildings and hospitals and government departments in 710 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: their commercial buildings. It sounds like it's it's quite a 711 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: chunk of cash, like it might be about two hundred 712 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 2: million dollars in councils around the country, so it'll affect 713 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: every council that has a school in it anywhere. Talk 714 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 2: to Andrew Little, Labor. Labor is saying they may consider 715 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: changing the law if they make it into government to 716 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: no vender, which obviously is not going to happen, but 717 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: it'll put pressure on this government. Andrew Little is with us. 718 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 2: After half past five, New Stalks. 719 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: B dressing the newsmakers to get the real story. 720 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: It's Heather duper ZL and drive with one New Zealand 721 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: to coverage like no one else. 722 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 3: Newstalks B. 723 00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 5: Good afternoon. 724 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: Prices, we finally started responding today in a significant way 725 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 2: to the US war on Iran.

They have broken through the one hundred 727 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 2: US dollars marked today for the first time since twenty 728 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 2: twenty two. Now the national average at the petrol pump 729 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 2: is about two dollars sixty odd. We are being worn 730 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: to brace ourselves for three dollars a liter.

Is that likely? 735 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 21: Well, what we did as of today stood up a 736 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 21: responsible group of ministers with the best quality of advice 737 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 21: surrounding us. I don't want to jump to conclusions we 738 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 21: did suffer price increases and the putin Ukraine hostilities broke out, 739 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 21: and we're just going to be very well prepared to 740 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 21: deal with any eventuality. 741 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: Okay, this group of ministers, this Ministerial Oversight Group on 742 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 2: economic security with a focus and on oil and gas. 743 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 2: What are you supposed to do? What are you looking at? 744 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 21: Well, we need high qual regular information not only from 745 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 21: the big field users but the fuel importers and obviously 746 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 21: our own bureaucracy. And also we need good quality taining 747 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 21: to access to fertilizer for our agricultural sector and that's 748 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 21: also hampered by the closure of the strait. And on 749 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 21: top of that, we need high quality information and respect 750 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 21: of logistics, shipping, supply lines and shipping arrangements. This needs 751 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 21: to be stood up asap. 752 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: And what is the power that you guys will have 753 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 2: to affect any change. 754 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 21: Well, there are a range of statutes, and I am 755 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 21: Paris have thought we should ever use them. But in 756 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 21: the future, if the situation really does deteriorate, then the 757 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 21: Minister of Resources of my good self we actually do 758 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 21: have to respond in the event that the International Energy 759 00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 21: Association requires us to move toward a rationing model. But 760 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 21: we don't believe we're there in any man or of form. 761 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 2: We've got what twenty eight days of oil in this country, 762 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 2: twenty nine days worth on ships? What happens after that? 763 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 21: Well, you raise a damn good question. After the refinery 764 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 21: was closed down and we lost over three hundred and 765 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 21: fifty million elitter capacity to store additional fuel, we are 766 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 21: dependent on the just in time model. That is what 767 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 21: the oil companies and the labor government did to New 768 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,919 Speaker 21: Zealand four or five years ago. 769 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: Okay, but what happens after the twenty nine days worth 770 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 2: of oil on the ship's gets here? Have we got 771 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 2: more on order? 772 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 5: Yeah? 773 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 21: We have a system which is administered through the International 774 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 21: Energy Association, where we have the ability to call on 775 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 21: fuel that is stored in Japan, America and various other places, 776 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 21: including an arrangement with Singapore that we can call for 777 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 21: some of their fuel to be released and sent to 778 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 21: New Zealand, but we have yet to exploit that option. 779 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 2: Do you support the decision not to cut the fuel tax? 780 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 21: Oh, it's just ty hoe. I mean it was cut 781 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 21: in the past, and any politician who cuts the tax 782 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 21: fu is are very difficult to re establish it. But 783 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 21: I think I if I understand. The Minister of Finances said, well, 784 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 21: we'll monitor it very closely. And look, if we're going 785 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 21: to cut the fuel tax and you've got a whole 786 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 21: bunch of people doing the hacker, they want four lane 787 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 21: highways everywhere. Well the doos got to come from somewhere. 788 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 2: Fair point, Shane, thank you very much, appreciate it. Shane Jones, 789 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 2: Associate Energy ministan Resources Minister. It's eleven past. 790 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 3: Five ever do for see Ellens. 791 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 2: All right, we'll go down to the markets. The NZX 792 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,399 Speaker 2: has closed down nearly four percent on the day. What's 793 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 2: happened over in Australia on the ASX has been described 794 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 2: as a blood bath. Greg Smith is an investment specialist 795 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 2: that generate wealth and KI we save and is with 796 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 2: us high Greg, Hi, what brought this on is at 797 00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 2: the oil price? 798 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all about the aid price as you're just 799 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,479 Speaker 5: talking of Shane about Yeah, up twenty five percent today. 800 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 5: The all price was that That means it's risen seventy 801 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 5: percent since the conflict began a week ago and really 802 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 5: just disuppose those fears over our old faux inflation being stoked. 803 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 5: So yeah, the the New zeal market was down three 804 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 5: point two percent. We've actually held up pretty well over 805 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 5: the past week or so, but that all changed today. 806 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 5: Really was nowhere to hide. So he had travel stocks 807 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 5: and transport stocks they will are, but yeah, everything was 808 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 5: sort of taking a bit of a bath, including Frish 809 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 5: and Pikal Healthcare and that's our biggest company, down four 810 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 5: point six percent. But yeah, certainly all really resting with 811 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 5: what happened to the your price today. 812 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, how worried to you about inflation as a result 813 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 2: of what you're seeing? 814 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 5: Well, looking the all price stays where it is or 815 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 5: even goes hi, that is going to be problematic for inflation. 816 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 5: I suppose you know that the big unknown is what 817 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 5: happens with the strait of humus. I suppose it would 818 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 5: point out that, you know, a lot of people have 819 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 5: been talking about this being like the seventies, the all crisis. 820 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 5: It's certainly not that we're seeing a political risk premium 821 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 5: being priced into oil. There's obviously various options for oil 822 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 5: coming from elsewhere, so that the straight counts around about 823 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 5: twenty percent worlds oil in terms of transport. Obviously, Trump 824 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 5: wants to get that going again. Iran they need oil revenues, 825 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 5: so they'll be having interest there and also yeah, we 826 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 5: can get all from other places. And also the US 827 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 5: something like back in the seventies is now a net 828 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 5: export of bill and it has shells. So yeah, I 829 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 5: mean it's concerning, and obviously we want to see the 830 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 5: oil price head back down, but yeah, current levels, it 831 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 5: certainly would do a bit to stoke inflation. But I 832 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 5: think look, it's also important here that those maybe that 833 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 5: are looking at their key we saber just to realize 834 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 5: what the market is doing in terms of the market. 835 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 5: Stock market reaction is not accounting for what is happening, 836 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 5: but what might happen. And I think we could easily 837 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 5: see things turn if even there was some sort of diplomacy. 838 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 5: I think the other big thing today was obviously Iran 839 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,800 Speaker 5: has a new leader. Obviously Trump isn't backing down, So 840 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 5: that's sort of just perhaps pushed out the timeline a 841 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 5: bit for it's being resolved. Obviously the US are still 842 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 5: stinking to the narrative of weeks rather than months. 843 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 2: Do you think we're being completely rational here or is 844 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 2: this a little bit of the jittery stuff, you know, 845 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 2: like wild reactions to anything at the moment, because we're 846 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 2: a bit panicky. 847 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 3: Oh for sure. 848 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 5: And yeah, we're remembering that stock markets and investors have 849 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 5: dealt with lots of crises before. Yeah, including warts. So 850 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 5: if you look at the Ukraine War, we had a 851 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 5: similar move in the oil price. We had a similar 852 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 5: move down the shear market. It lasted a little bit longer, 853 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 5: but you look at markets, they do recover, they get 854 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 5: past these crises. If you look at the U S 855 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,680 Speaker 5: and P five hundred, the biggest index in America, that's 856 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 5: up around about eighty percent since the Low's posts Russia's 857 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 5: invasion of Ukraine. So really important to get some perspective. 858 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 2: Here, yeah too, right, Hey, Greg, thank you very much. 859 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 2: Appreciated Greg Smith, investment specialist to generate wealth and key, 860 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 2: we say, but we'll also talk to Shane Soley Harbor 861 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 2: Asset Management. He'll give us another update in about an 862 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 2: hour's time, fourteen past. 863 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 3: Five, Heather, do for CLA. 864 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: Right, here's something for you to keep an eye out tomorrow. 865 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,879 Speaker 2: For I'm hearing that the Royal Commission of Inquiry into 866 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 2: how Chippy and Justin and Grant and all their mates 867 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: handled COVID towards the latter end is out tomorrow. I 868 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 2: am also hearing that in particular, it is not good 869 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 2: for Chippy. Now, bearing in mind obviously that I'm hearing 870 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 2: things because this is you know, this is what's going around, 871 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 2: and this is what people want you to hear. Just 872 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 2: bear that in mind. But from what I understand, there 873 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 2: will be decisions that will be discussed in this Royal 874 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 2: Commission of Inquiry that can be sheeted straight back to Chippy. 875 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 2: And they are decisions that we may not be altogether 876 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 2: stoked about. And I'm guessing that given that Auckland went 877 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 2: through the worst of it, it's going to be Auckland 878 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 2: as who are largely going to be a bit pussy 879 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 2: with him tomorrow. Anyway, I think keep an eye I 880 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 2: think I think it may land later in the day, 881 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 2: so keep an eye out for that. Also, this will 882 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 2: be some reprieve I would think for the National Party, 883 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 2: given what they have gone through in the last bit, 884 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 2: that the focus will be shifting back to the other Chris. 885 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 2: This is as this is read Chris rather than Blue 886 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 2: Chris quarter past. Just to reminder, Andrew Little is going 887 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 2: to be with us on just how much money he 888 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 2: thinks he can get out of the government if you 889 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 2: force his government buildings to pay rates with us after 890 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 2: half past it's eighteen past five at the minute. Now 891 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 2: we've got the data to back up the vibes. There 892 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 2: really has been a huge increase in kids and adults 893 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 2: learning Toda al Mari and learning in today al Mari. 894 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 2: So last year more than twenty eight thousand school kids 895 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 2: were taught the curriculum more than half the time in 896 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 2: the language, and that is up seventy one percent on 897 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 2: twenty five years ago. Mali Language advocate Stacey Morrison is 898 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 2: with us now. Stacey, Hello, Kyoder, So am I right 899 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 2: in thinking that all up? It's about sixty percent of 900 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 2: school kids who are learning something, even if it's just 901 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 2: a song. 902 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 22: Yeah, Well, the numbers that we're talking about, as you say, 903 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 22: are from twenty five years ago, so it's a big jump. 904 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 22: And those are kids who are in a more i 905 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 22: guess a bilingual unit kind of level. So the levels 906 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 22: go up from six to level one is when they're 907 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,800 Speaker 22: in almost immersion eighty one to ninety nine percent. But 908 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 22: what we're talking about is the kids who are at 909 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 22: level three, which is about you know, seven to twelve 910 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 22: hours in a week, and then level five is just 911 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 22: when it's a separate subjet. Level six is when they 912 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 22: just have a little bit. 913 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 14: So in terms of. 914 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 22: How many kids, I mean, they're still two hundred and 915 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 22: fifty thousand kids they have no Tedel Mahdi education at all, 916 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 22: but it is obviously there's I guess what you've really 917 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 22: pointed out is there's a biggest spike in schools that 918 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 22: we sort of call a English medium or mainstream school 919 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 22: having a bilingual unit or a really good delivery of 920 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 22: Tedel Mahdi. 921 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 2: I'm imagining that part of the problem here and why 922 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 2: these numbers can't go up much faster is because we 923 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,320 Speaker 2: just don't have enough teachers. 924 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, that's one of the things I guess. But 925 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,439 Speaker 22: you know, you don't have to be a Maori teacher 926 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 22: or even a fluent Maori speaking teacher to teach a 927 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 22: little bit. So that's what we saw when they did 928 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 22: have the program Tahio Tedel that was to help teachers 929 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 22: at every level to engage wherever they were, so it 930 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,800 Speaker 22: kind of boosted their confidence to bring in a bit. So, 931 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 22: like you say, if it's just songs, anyone can do that. 932 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 22: You don't need affluent Maori speaking Marty teachers to do that. 933 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 22: So it's about I guess, how a school can be 934 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 22: quite creative and meet their community in terms of where 935 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,439 Speaker 22: they want to be, in terms of having a little 936 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 22: bit of their and a little bit of culture at 937 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 22: the school. 938 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, Stacey. If what we want to get to though, 939 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 2: is proper, proper bilingualism across the country. These are not 940 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 2: these numbers aren't high enough, are they? 941 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 13: No, they're not. 942 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 22: You're completely right, and so well as I say, I 943 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 22: do think it's an everybody thing, not just the teachers 944 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 22: who are already their influence. 945 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 2: So one thing is valuing bilingualism. 946 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 22: And I love the fact that you've pointed out it's 947 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 22: about bilingualism because there's a lot of benefits of that, 948 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 22: and about half the people in the world are bilingual 949 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 22: at least, So the benefits of those transferable skills that 950 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 22: kids get when they have got that mental gym happening 951 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 22: of learning across languages, first of all, we need to 952 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 22: value at that, and then we can go, okay, so 953 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 22: how are we going to do that so that we 954 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,720 Speaker 22: know our kids are having an education that's really seated 955 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 22: in coming from this country, and then they're bilingualism and 956 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 22: the inspirable skills can go right across the education and 957 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 22: then their professional life as well. So first of all 958 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 22: we have to value it and then we have to 959 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 22: resource it. 960 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Stacy, thanks very much, really appreciate your time, mate, 961 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 2: look after yourself. That's Stacey Morrison, Mardi Language Advocate here 962 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 2: to ask Shane Jones why the fuel prices go up 963 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 2: overnight when it's already bought and paid for? Heither, If 964 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,800 Speaker 2: we have twenty eight days of fuel brought out the 965 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 2: cheaper price, why did the price go up last Friday? 966 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 15: Heither? 967 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 2: I'm interested to know why we've got stocks of twenty 968 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 2: eight days and twenty nine on the way. Why are 969 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 2: fuel prices increasing? I cannot tell you the number of 970 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,800 Speaker 2: texts coming in along exactly the same line. You know 971 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 2: the answer to this. It's what the AA calls the 972 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 2: rocket and feather. Right the minute the price goes up, 973 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 2: the fuel guys rocket the price up, and when the 974 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,840 Speaker 2: price comes down, they feather the price down really slowly 975 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 2: so they can make extra money out of you. You 976 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 2: know what's happening. You know it's happening. Five twenty one. 977 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,919 Speaker 2: We'll deal with the fuel tax next. 978 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: The day's newsmakers talk to Heather first, Heather Duplicy Ell 979 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: and Drive with One New Zealand and the power of 980 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: satellite mobile news talk said be. 981 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 2: Five twenty four. Now at the moment, the government is 982 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 2: shutting down any talk of cutting the petrol tax right 983 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 2: as we've covered in the show, and this is in 984 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 2: response to the Iran war driving up the oil price. 985 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 2: But I think that this is something that they should 986 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 2: keep open as a possibility depending on what happens next. 987 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 2: Oil prices have spiked this morning. I've already told you 988 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 2: they've broken through the one hundred US dollars a barrel 989 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 2: for the first time, that mark for the first time 990 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 2: in four years. It's now sitting around one hundred and 991 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 2: sixteen US dollars a barrel. It's up seventy percent since 992 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 2: the air strike started, up nearly twenty five percent a 993 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 2: day alone. Ninety one in this country is sitting at 994 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 2: two dollars sixty odd that's the national average. We're being 995 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 2: told to brace for it going through the three dollar 996 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 2: mark in the coming days. That's forty cents a liter 997 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 2: more than it is now. And apparently four dollars a 998 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 2: barrel is a possible. Four dollars a liter is a possibility. Now, 999 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 2: I think a cut in the petrol tax, if it 1000 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,880 Speaker 2: gets to these kinds of levels, is wise for two reasons. 1001 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,800 Speaker 2: The first is actually the most important one, which is 1002 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 2: that Keiwis will need it. Petrol going up that much 1003 00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 2: drives up the price of everything, including your groceries, to 1004 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 2: serve us. If we are suffering, they have to respond. 1005 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 2: But secondly, it's smart politics for the coalition government because 1006 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 2: the less money that voters have in their pockets come 1007 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 2: election day, the heart of the incoming government is going 1008 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 2: to be punished at the ballot booth. But and it 1009 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 2: is a big butt. Cutting the petrol tax is expensive. 1010 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 2: A when Jacinda did it, remember it was twenty five 1011 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 2: cents a leader. She shaved off that cost close to 1012 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 2: three quarters of a billion dollars. Our country is broke 1013 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 2: because she did stuff like that. We are spending more 1014 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 2: than we are earning. The only way to make this 1015 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 2: thing work is to cut something else to pay for it, 1016 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 2: and that takes political courage. And I'm not sure that 1017 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 2: I've seen any evidence thus far that Nikola Willis has 1018 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 2: the kind of political courage that she needs to cut 1019 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 2: something in one place in order to fund something in 1020 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 2: another place. And this is why so many of us 1021 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,759 Speaker 2: have put so much pressure on her to get the 1022 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 2: books in order, because you need money in the bank 1023 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 2: for when something like this happens, when you've got a 1024 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,760 Speaker 2: war in the Middle East creating a shock that spikes 1025 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 2: up the petrol price. So I think the government may 1026 00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 2: have to keep its options open depending on where the 1027 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 2: petrol price goes, and that isn't if a big if. 1028 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 2: Depending on where the petrol price goes, they may have 1029 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 2: to have something in the back pocket to be able 1030 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 2: to respond. 1031 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,359 Speaker 3: Heather Duplessy, we'll talk. 1032 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 2: To the Huddle about it when they're with us. We're 1033 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 2: also going to talk to Nikoluilis. He'll be with us 1034 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 2: after six o'clock. 1035 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 7: Now. 1036 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 2: I was driving down the road the other day was 1037 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 2: actually Saturday. It was around about five o'clock in the afternoon, 1038 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 2: half plus five, and at the top of wif you 1039 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 2: know Ponsonby Road, at the top of Western Park, which 1040 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 2: is across from from the Wilworth Supermarket, it was a 1041 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,239 Speaker 2: bit of a gathering going on. I'm assuming it was 1042 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 2: a bunch of Iranian expats because they had the flags 1043 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 2: out and they were partying to a song which caught 1044 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 2: my attention. Because the song sounded a lot like. 1045 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 9: This Atola am in a. 1046 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,839 Speaker 3: Is dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead? 1047 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:46,680 Speaker 17: Are you usual? 1048 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 2: Are you people close as you're driving down the street, 1049 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 2: You're like, are they Is that a song? Are they 1050 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 2: excited about somebody being dead and they're actually singing about that? 1051 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,840 Speaker 2: Yes they are. So I just want to point this 1052 00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 2: out to you because while the rest of us are 1053 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 2: tying ourselves up and not about whether the air strikes 1054 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 2: were legal or not, there is a group of people 1055 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 2: directly affected by what's going on in that country. What 1056 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 2: pretty stoked about it? 1057 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: The name you trust to get the answers you need, 1058 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,240 Speaker 1: it's Heather Duplicyl and drive with one New Zealand coverage 1059 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: like no one else used talks that'd be me. 1060 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 2: Most of us are tying ourselves up and knots over 1061 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,280 Speaker 2: the legality of the warts. Just the vocal handringing minority, 1062 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 2: very vocal huddles standing by, Gonna be with us shortly. 1063 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 2: And of course we've got nikolaulas as per on a 1064 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 2: Monday after six and we'll chat to her about the 1065 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,359 Speaker 2: possibility of the tax cuts. Bury the fuel now onto 1066 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 2: something else entirely and is twenty five away from six. 1067 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,320 Speaker 2: By the way, Labor is considering changing the law to 1068 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 2: force government buildings to pay rates to city councils. This 1069 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 2: is obviously if they win the November election. At the moment, 1070 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 2: none of the government buildings, Parliament, schools, hospitals pay any rates. 1071 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 2: Wellington has been agitating for this to change. In the 1072 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 2: mayor is Andrew little High Andrew, how much would it 1073 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 2: bring in for Wellington City Council. 1074 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 23: For Willington look, depending on whether they pay the residential 1075 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 23: rate or the commercial rate, could be anywhere between five 1076 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,400 Speaker 23: million dollars and nearly seventeen million dollars. And they'll probably 1077 00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 23: be a mix of residential, commercial or possibly a special rate. 1078 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 23: But the gains would be significant for a council of 1079 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 23: our size. 1080 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,239 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you just check them all on commercial rates 1081 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 2: if they are in the commercial precinct. 1082 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,720 Speaker 23: If some are in residentially. If you think about schools 1083 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 23: they used for what forty weeks a year type of 1084 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 23: thing and residential areas, so you could justify something there. 1085 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 14: Many of the other buildings are in the city areas, 1086 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,240 Speaker 14: so commercial rates might be justified. 1087 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 23: I think the point is that there's a lot of 1088 00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 23: infrastructure that we're providing two Crown owned buildings that that 1089 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,399 Speaker 23: are not paying their way. 1090 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 2: Is it a point of frustration for you? 1091 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,440 Speaker 23: Oh, when you look at the value that it represents. 1092 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 23: You know, we're in the process of doing the work 1093 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,839 Speaker 23: to set our budget. We're trying to cut as much 1094 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 23: cost out of the budget and find other sources of revenue. 1095 00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,359 Speaker 23: There ain't much other sources of revenue, so we're all 1096 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 23: sort of cost cutting that is sensitive. But if we 1097 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 23: can find other sources of revenue, that stuff makes a difference. 1098 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,959 Speaker 23: So what it ends up doing is bringing down rates 1099 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 23: for everybody. 1100 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I was going to ask, is this would 1101 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 2: you use it to pay down debt or would you 1102 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 2: actually drop the rates increases for residents to go towards. 1103 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 23: Keeping the rates increase levels as low as possible so 1104 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 23: everybody gets to share the benefit of it. 1105 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 2: Okay, Now I see the Labor Party is considering this. 1106 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 2: Is this a serious thing? 1107 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:46,800 Speaker 5: As far as I know. 1108 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 23: I saw saw the spokesperson telling you Tiquity saying that 1109 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 23: that I understand they're doing their policy development because they 1110 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 23: keep telling us they will have announcement soon. But good 1111 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 23: on them if they are. I think this is something 1112 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 23: that should be considered. I'm not the only saying this. 1113 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 23: There are other mes saying this, as indeed they have 1114 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 23: been for many years. I just think it's a question 1115 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,880 Speaker 23: we have to step up to. I don't think councils 1116 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 23: can go much longer carrying the cost of infrastructure for 1117 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 23: these Crown buildings without getting something back for it. 1118 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 2: Have you raised it with the current government and what 1119 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 2: have they said. 1120 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 23: I haven't had a discussion with him about it, but 1121 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 23: it will no doubt came up in future discussions. 1122 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,200 Speaker 2: Andrew, thank you very much and bestive luck with that. 1123 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 2: That's Andrew Little, Wellington City Mayor. Twenty two away from 1124 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 2: six the huddle. 1125 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 1: With New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, a name you can 1126 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: trust locally and globally. 1127 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 2: And we're joined on our huddle by Tris Shearson Shearson, 1128 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 2: Willis pr and Joseph Agunni, the chief executive Child Fund, 1129 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 2: who were so great gracious, took it so graciously when 1130 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 2: they were stood down as the emergency huddle on Friday. 1131 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 24: The flashing red light and went back to the afternoon. 1132 00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 2: Did you think actually on that subject, which is the 1133 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 2: lux and leadership thing that happened on Friday, Trisha, I 1134 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 2: thought it's probably got a bit silly to have the 1135 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 2: media chasing him through the airport on Monday when the 1136 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 2: thing is already wrapped up and done by Friday afternoon. 1137 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 24: Yes, I mean I thought it became very clear that 1138 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 24: it's not a coup, it's a competence issue. And for 1139 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 24: that reason, over the weekend, the whole thing, you know, 1140 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,360 Speaker 24: went quiet. So yeah, I didn't think it had the 1141 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,359 Speaker 24: excitement level today that would require chasing through Parliament. I mean, 1142 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,600 Speaker 24: if it was a cup you would have seen leaking 1143 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,799 Speaker 24: out over the weekend, you would have already by today 1144 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 24: we would have names in a ring. And unless you 1145 00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 24: have an organized group in caucus or including backbenches who 1146 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 24: are doing the numbers, then this is actually a story 1147 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 24: I think about competence and authority of the Prime minister, 1148 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,879 Speaker 24: and one bad poll is not a death certificate for him. 1149 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 24: But what it is is several missteps like he continues 1150 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,600 Speaker 24: to make over time. They are eroding the view and 1151 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 24: his competence, and they're eroding his authority. 1152 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think, true, Joseph. 1153 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean all that's since Friday is that we 1154 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 25: know when he came on your show, and we got 1155 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 25: pushed aside quite rightly that all that's changed is we 1156 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,759 Speaker 25: know he's fighting, so he's making a decision that he's 1157 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 25: not letting go. It might not be his decision in 1158 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 25: the end. And you're right, this isn't really just about 1159 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 25: one bad poll. It is about that sort of sinking 1160 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 25: feeling you have that he's just not quite up to it. 1161 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 25: And I'm not sure that he's said anything between Friday 1162 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 25: and now, and he's done a whole media around today 1163 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 25: that will have changed anybody's minds about that. So his 1164 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 25: line has been I'm not here. 1165 00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:35,280 Speaker 2: I don't care about Poles. 1166 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,239 Speaker 25: I'm here for your children and your grandchildren. Well, that's 1167 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 25: not why you're unpopular. I mean, you know, we're not 1168 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 25: looking at an opposition that's there, you know, not for 1169 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 25: your children and grandchildren. So I'm not sure that he's 1170 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,320 Speaker 25: put people's minds at rest that he can articulate a 1171 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 25: vision for the country, that he can sail a ship 1172 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 25: in stormy seas and reassure us that he's not going 1173 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 25: to sink the good ship New Zealand. And I set 1174 00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 25: up this that they've announced they've set up this thing 1175 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 25: called something like the Economic supply chain security advisory body 1176 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,800 Speaker 25: Good doesn't quite have the ring of Cobra in the 1177 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 25: UK or epic fury or something like. So you know 1178 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,840 Speaker 25: he's done that, that's okay, but it's just you know, 1179 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,440 Speaker 25: he's got the work, ethic, the decency of a prime minister, 1180 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,240 Speaker 25: he just doesn't have the character. 1181 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,880 Speaker 2: So the question is, Trish, whether you think that they 1182 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 2: are going to go to the election with him National? 1183 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,800 Speaker 24: What do you think again, in the absence of somebody 1184 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,680 Speaker 24: actively doing the numbers, And here's my question Mark, I 1185 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 24: just am not convinced that anyone in National has got 1186 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 24: the stomach for that at the moment. I mean, there 1187 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 24: was everyone's talked about that. 1188 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 2: But so then what you're arguing is that the populan 1189 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 2: because remember the reason that this is even a thing 1190 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 2: is because at twenty eight percent, they lose twelve MPs, right, 1191 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,840 Speaker 2: they lose Nikola Willis, they lose Paul Goldsmith, depending on 1192 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 2: how the electorates shape up. Now, are they really going 1193 00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 2: to go to the the election sitting on levels like 1194 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 2: this and being like unresigned to my fate. It's absolutely fine. 1195 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 24: Well, well I did the number. I did a bit 1196 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 24: of a breakdown of the numbers on that over the weekend, 1197 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 24: and in fact, as usual, where the where the nervousness 1198 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,840 Speaker 24: should be is those electric MPs who are in marginal 1199 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,399 Speaker 24: seats and do not have the list cover, so you're 1200 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 24: actually talking quite low down the list. And again one 1201 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 24: of my observations over the last little bit is that 1202 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 24: as our politics have changed, I think there is a 1203 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 24: decrease in the capability around staging a coupe. These things 1204 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 24: they are really tough, they are really hard, and you know, 1205 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 24: I just am not convinced that within national there is 1206 00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:54,320 Speaker 24: the stomach to go again right now without something really 1207 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 24: fundamental happening. And I and I also think that just 1208 00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 24: one of the things that is in the back of 1209 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,720 Speaker 24: my mind though, And we saw it today with Luxin 1210 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 24: at the press conference his line today, which was, you know, 1211 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 24: on Friday, the media went a little bit bananas frankly 1212 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,960 Speaker 24: around this. So in my view, where he consistently loses 1213 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 24: is he hasn't built a relationship with the media. He's 1214 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 24: put a whole lot of focus on going direct on 1215 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 24: social media that isn't and hasn't worked. He needs to 1216 00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 24: rebuild a relationship with the press callery. He needs to 1217 00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,320 Speaker 24: start listening to the feedback of his team, which is fundamental, 1218 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 24: and I understand that's what's driving a lot of the 1219 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 24: frustration right down from his office through the beehive, is 1220 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,880 Speaker 24: that he's not a person who can take advice and 1221 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 24: he's look. 1222 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:49,680 Speaker 25: I mean, he's one stumble away from a bunch of people, 1223 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,799 Speaker 25: all of whom we know, the names, we know, ready 1224 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,759 Speaker 25: to pounce. And the thing is, even you watch him 1225 00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 25: today on the post cabinet press conference, you're waiting for 1226 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,880 Speaker 25: him to say something think that might stumble or not 1227 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 25: quite get right. And then of course every time one 1228 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 25: of those ministers walks out their front door, walks into 1229 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,399 Speaker 25: their office, they're going to be stopped by the media 1230 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 25: and the first question will be are you do you 1231 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 25: have Does a preme minister have your full support? And 1232 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:15,960 Speaker 25: the answer will be something like, it's today, the Prime 1233 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 25: Minister has my full support. Oh not tomorrow. Well, I 1234 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 25: couldn't be any clearer. So you're just going to get 1235 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 25: this over and over again. And look, I just think 1236 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,120 Speaker 25: the confidence is just dropped and I don't know how. 1237 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 2: You get that back. 1238 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,960 Speaker 25: And the right track, ron track is not in the 1239 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 25: government's favor, and I just think they're going to go. Look, 1240 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 25: one final statistic I'll give you about this time in 1241 00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 25: the electoral cycle was when Mark Carney rolled Justin Trudeau 1242 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,160 Speaker 25: in Canada wipped out pretty well. 1243 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,680 Speaker 2: Okay, take a break, come back and talk about fuel tax. 1244 00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 2: Sixteen away from six. 1245 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 1: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the only 1246 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 1: truly global brand. 1247 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 2: Right, you're back with the huddle, Joseph Ganni and Tricius 1248 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 2: and Josie do you reckon they should keep option of 1249 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 2: a fuel tax cut open? 1250 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:02,960 Speaker 21: Oh? 1251 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,520 Speaker 13: You know, yes, and no. 1252 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 25: I do think it's slightly ironic that the Taxpayers Union 1253 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,080 Speaker 25: is in effect calling for a subsidy for the government 1254 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 25: to subsidize drivers and you know, they calling for a 1255 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 25: a tax cut and inverted commas. But it's actually a subsidy, 1256 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 25: isn't it. And so the problem is though you know, 1257 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 25: it's a temporary measure and you're basically asking future taxpayers 1258 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,000 Speaker 25: to pay for it. It's a big borrow iou from 1259 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 25: the future. And I don't think. I don't think it's 1260 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 25: the right thing to do right now. I do wonder, 1261 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 25: you know, this could be over quite quickly, or it 1262 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 25: could drag on you know, this is the nature of 1263 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 25: war now, it's drones, it's robotics, it's it's autonomous weapons 1264 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 25: that could just sort of drag on without necessarily impacting 1265 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,000 Speaker 25: supply chains further than a few weeks. 1266 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 9: Now. 1267 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:56,640 Speaker 25: I don't know, so no, I don't think it's the 1268 00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 25: right thing to do now. But yeah, thanks Taxpayers Union 1269 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,840 Speaker 25: for calling for government subsidy, big government go. Well, I'm 1270 00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 25: going to give a bouquet to the government here. I 1271 00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 25: thought this was smart politics their press conference today. Number One, 1272 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 25: to really take back the narrative on this whole I 1273 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 25: run situation in the uncertainty. Number one, to sort of 1274 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 25: move the PM off to the side and have this 1275 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 25: focused on Nicola Willis. And I think the message that 1276 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 25: they were trying to send to New Zealanders is we 1277 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 25: get this as serious and we are really serious about it. 1278 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 25: So they've put in this Ministerial Oversight Committee. 1279 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 21: Great. 1280 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 24: The other thing that I the other thing that I 1281 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 24: really like today was when Nikola Willis was asked about 1282 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:42,440 Speaker 24: the field lowering the field tax, she immediately said, you know, 1283 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:46,040 Speaker 24: we cannot go to short term sugar hits. We know 1284 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 24: what happened last time under the previous labor government when 1285 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 24: they were you know, sugar hitting all over the place, 1286 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 24: whether it was petrol tax or whatever else. And I 1287 00:59:55,720 --> 01:00:00,480 Speaker 24: think the one thing that is terrible in politics is 1288 01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 24: when you do a sugar hit today and you continually 1289 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,880 Speaker 24: put off the big stuff because we haven't got any 1290 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 24: money again. Yeah, and I really like the fact that 1291 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,840 Speaker 24: Willis today was being the grown up in the room 1292 01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 24: and actually saying to. 1293 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 2: People it's hard. 1294 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,800 Speaker 24: There's a very tough situation and I'm not going to 1295 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,200 Speaker 24: go now and make a make a move like this. 1296 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 14: I really liked it. 1297 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 2: Okay, it does make it harder for them at the election, 1298 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,800 Speaker 2: though it doesn't. I mean, oh yeah, well and hold 1299 01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:30,600 Speaker 2: till November. 1300 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 24: But as a voter, I want a government who does 1301 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,919 Speaker 24: hard stuff so I can evaluate the trade offs. 1302 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 2: They are really honest about it. 1303 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 9: Now. 1304 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 2: I didn't want to be immediately negative about the story 1305 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 2: about side L Mahrdy in schools, Joseph, but I can't 1306 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 2: help her get there because I mean, while the numbers 1307 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 2: are fantastic, if you've got like twenty eight thousand kids 1308 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 2: learning it, learning the curricul that's not enough. It's just 1309 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 2: like if we have dreams of being bilingual I'm not 1310 01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 2: going to get there with numbers like that. 1311 01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,120 Speaker 25: Well, and also they're struggling to get too teachers because 1312 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 25: they can't pay them in that which you know, again 1313 01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 25: comes back to the whole ability to pay good teachers more. 1314 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,120 Speaker 2: And if you can speak to Elmari fluently, the money 1315 01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,280 Speaker 2: that you can make in consulting to government departments is eyewater. 1316 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 25: So you've got to pay teachers more. And you know 1317 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 25: that's only the unions have got to get behind that. 1318 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 25: And part of the problem is I look back at 1319 01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 25: my kids who are at school, you know, relatively recently, 1320 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 25: and you know, we're paying teachers to teach them about 1321 01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 25: American civil rights movement. Great, but I'd rather pay them 1322 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 25: to learn to real or I'd rather pay them something 1323 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 25: in New Zealand rather than paying them to learn about 1324 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 25: you know, the Vietnam War or something. 1325 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 2: So that's the problem. 1326 01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 25: If you if you can't pay them enough, we're not 1327 01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 25: going to get enough teachers and we're not going to 1328 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 25: teach more kids to re or Mary. And actually we 1329 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 25: feel really proud of that, right, We feel proud when 1330 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 25: we've you know, managed to speak a bit of Mari 1331 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,320 Speaker 25: or you know, go overseas and you know, we know 1332 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 25: we can do a wiater and a bit of a mehi. 1333 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 2: And overseas trips, isn't. 1334 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 19: What do you think? 1335 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 24: Well, I'm throwing at the bouquets here, but I'm going 1336 01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,280 Speaker 24: to give you a big bouquet to termin in high 1337 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 24: school because when I was in the third form in 1338 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,959 Speaker 24: nineteen eighty six, I just ticked over forty years before 1339 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 24: you do the calculation and fourth form in nineteen eighty seven, 1340 01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 24: we had those first two years where today was compulsory 1341 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,560 Speaker 24: and in my my education at high school, that is 1342 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 24: one of the things that I appreciate the most.

I think having a problem with the 1344 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,920 Speaker 24: pipeline of teachers is a much better problem for New 1345 01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,880 Speaker 24: Zealand than having a problem with demand. I think it 1346 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,760 Speaker 24: shows how much we are into this as a country. 1347 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 24: I think it's a fantastic things and it's it's. 1348 01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 2: Going to be slow going. 1349 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,640 Speaker 24: Well it is slow than it was, but also don't remember, 1350 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 24: you know, remember the base that we're coming off.

Listen. This sounds this 1363 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 2: sounds kooky and like it's not real, but apparently it 1364 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 2: is quite real. It's becoming realistic, the idea of mining 1365 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 2: asteroids for you know, the critical minerals and so on. 1366 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,959 Speaker 2: In fact, it's so advanced that they're now talking about 1367 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,760 Speaker 2: how we regulate this as an industry out in space. 1368 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 2: We're going to talk to a woman who's actually who's 1369 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,080 Speaker 2: panicking about setting rules around this. He'll be with us 1370 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 2: after half past six. I said I would tell you 1371 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,600 Speaker 2: a little bit about the new Iranian leader. So it's 1372 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 2: the son as I told you earlier of Ali Harmony. 1373 01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 2: The Telegraph in the UK has revealed a little bit 1374 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 2: about him. Apparently he and his wife. This is going 1375 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 2: to sound like a weird place to start the story, 1376 01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,840 Speaker 2: so I apologize, but where he and his wife had 1377 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 2: fertility issues in the late nineties and he got so 1378 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 2: panicked about trying to have an air have an air 1379 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 2: be born to him that he thought for a brief 1380 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 2: hot moment about leaving his wife, but the wife sorted 1381 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:17,160 Speaker 2: it out, took everybody off to London to undergo fertility treatment. 1382 01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 2: It cost them two point two million New Zealand dollars, 1383 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 2: so they traveled there with a huge crew. This is 1384 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 2: why it's so expensive. They had twenty bodyguards, three of 1385 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 2: her maids. Her mum came along two of her maids. 1386 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 2: As you do, rented a floor at the Sheraton Grand 1387 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 2: Hotel in Park Lane for two months, did the treatment, 1388 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,040 Speaker 2: and with them came a serial killer named said mummy, 1389 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,880 Speaker 2: who was a good maid of his. Sounds like came 1390 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:39,919 Speaker 2: mainly because it was a maid of his, but also 1391 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 2: apparently may have known a little bit about the English 1392 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 2: speaking world or something, because he helped him out in London. 1393 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 2: Apparently he was responsible, says The Telegraph, sometimes directly, other 1394 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 2: times as a planner and supervisor for the killings of 1395 01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 2: numerous intellectuals and political dissidents from nineteen eighty eight and 1396 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,240 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight, known as the chain murders of Iran. 1397 01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 2: The whole trip was the seat. The trip ended up 1398 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 2: being reasonably successful because as a result of the fertility treatment, 1399 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 2: the wife then went on to give birth to a son. 1400 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 2: Trouble is that son and that wife were killed along 1401 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:14,160 Speaker 2: with the dad, as in the granddad of the boy 1402 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,000 Speaker 2: Ali harmony and the strikes last weekend. So if there 1403 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,600 Speaker 2: was any hope that the new one who's been ushered 1404 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,800 Speaker 2: in as the supreme leader would be any different, not 1405 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,960 Speaker 2: judged judging by the company that he keeps as in 1406 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 2: a bit of a serial killer. Probably not, And as 1407 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,000 Speaker 2: I said earlier, probably a bit angry at the states 1408 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,520 Speaker 2: we're taking out his entire family.

I mean, it sounds very cool that 1454 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 2: you guys have set up a ministerial oversight group, but 1455 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,840 Speaker 2: what actually are you doing apart from just your jobs. 1456 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 13: Well, we have an incident management group at the Ministry 1457 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 13: for Business and what they do is they work with 1458 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 13: the fuel importation companies that retailers fuel users to understand 1459 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 13: what the picture is looking like. So if they were 1460 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,200 Speaker 13: to say, look, we're actually having difficulties getting future orders 1461 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 13: of fuel, we would have very advanced warning of that 1462 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 13: and that would provide us time to respond well. 1463 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 2: Isn't that basically just what happens with the energy ministry anyway, 1464 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 2: Like you didn't have to set up this group, This 1465 01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:23,280 Speaker 2: is just running a country. 1466 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,960 Speaker 13: Well, the particular thing that happens is we work much 1467 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 13: more closely with industry fuel importers and retailers to be 1468 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 13: getting real time information about what they're seeing happening in markets, 1469 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,800 Speaker 13: and then we engage with our international counterparts, so Australia, 1470 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,480 Speaker 13: the US and others, to understand what their likely responses 1471 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 13: are to that. As you appreciate, they have options in 1472 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,000 Speaker 13: terms of OPEC, in terms of which oil supplies they 1473 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,240 Speaker 13: release into the global market and how they ensure that 1474 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 13: fuel is able to reach countries around the world, because 1475 01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,280 Speaker 13: of course it's in everyone's interests that there aren't global 1476 01:08:59,320 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 13: fuel shortages. 1477 01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,719 Speaker 2: Are you going to I've got a surprise a number 1478 01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,559 Speaker 2: of texts that have actually surprised me at just how 1479 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 2: many techts I'm getting raising concerns about how fast the 1480 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 2: oil companies, that the petrol companies are moving to push 1481 01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 2: up the price. Are you monitoring what's going on there 1482 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 2: that they're not just going to gouge us? 1483 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,160 Speaker 13: Yes we are, And overnight we've asked the Commerce Commission 1484 01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:23,120 Speaker 13: to step up it's monitoring of what's happening with fuel pricing. 1485 01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 13: Of course, we do expect there will be market movements 1486 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 13: as those global prices increase, but this should not be 1487 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,680 Speaker 13: an opportunity for fuel companies to gouge or to make 1488 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,320 Speaker 13: unreasonable hikes in prices. So the Commerce Commission are watching 1489 01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,400 Speaker 13: that carefully and they stand ready to act if we 1490 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 13: do see perverse market behavior. 1491 01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 2: Oka Now, have you actually decided that you will delay 1492 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,519 Speaker 2: the tax the tax increase on the fuel price for 1493 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 2: next year or are you just considering this? 1494 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 13: Well, I've simply acknowledged that Cabinet has not yet considered 1495 01:09:56,080 --> 01:10:00,799 Speaker 13: the legislation that would be required to affect that increase, 1496 01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,599 Speaker 13: and when we do give consideration to that, we will 1497 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,639 Speaker 13: need to be mindful of market conditions at the time. 1498 01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 13: So simply as part of being a responsible government, we 1499 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,000 Speaker 13: would have to look at, well, what's happening with petrol 1500 01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,760 Speaker 13: prices across the economy and what does that mean. And 1501 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,680 Speaker 13: I'm just being an adult and saying the consequences of 1502 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,599 Speaker 13: not increasing petrol tax would be that there's less money 1503 01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 13: available to maintain the roads, to rebuild roads after major 1504 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 13: weather events, less money available to build the new roads 1505 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 13: that New Zealanders want to see. So we would have 1506 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,479 Speaker 13: to weigh that up at the time based on the 1507 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,960 Speaker 13: best information we have, and that's several months away that consideration. 1508 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 2: And is it a hard no to cutting the fuel 1509 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,280 Speaker 2: excise tax or just a no for now? 1510 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:47,519 Speaker 13: It's not something we're considering at this time. I'm mindful 1511 01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:51,720 Speaker 13: that petrol tax hasn't increased since twenty twenty and the 1512 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 13: last government when it did affect what was meant to 1513 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:57,479 Speaker 13: be a short term reduction in the fuel price, ended 1514 01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 13: up extending that it came a big cost around a 1515 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,760 Speaker 13: billion dollars. And again we're just being realistic about the 1516 01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 13: fact that that would have an impact both either in 1517 01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 13: terms of debt or it would have an impact in 1518 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,400 Speaker 13: terms of road maintenance. So we need to weigh that 1519 01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 13: up because short term gain could equal medium term pain. 1520 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 13: And it is too early for us to have a 1521 01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,839 Speaker 13: knee jerk reaction to what has been a considerable spike 1522 01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 13: in oil prices in recent days. We need to keep 1523 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 13: monitoring the situation. We're not actively considering fuel subsidies at 1524 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:34,639 Speaker 13: this time. 1525 01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:36,640 Speaker 2: Have you got to the stage yet where you are 1526 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,840 Speaker 2: having to rethink anything in your budget, which is in 1527 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 2: a couple of months. 1528 01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 20: No. 1529 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,840 Speaker 13: What I did get late last week was the preliminary 1530 01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,920 Speaker 13: fiscal forecasts based on what we've seen since the December update, 1531 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 13: and that was painting a much rosier picture than I 1532 01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,640 Speaker 13: presented to you in December. What that showed was that 1533 01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,679 Speaker 13: we were on track to have a better operating value. 1534 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:01,960 Speaker 2: But what has happened in Iran, And that's fine and 1535 01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,599 Speaker 2: I'm aware of that, but what has happened in Iran 1536 01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 2: has changed things potentially from here on. And have you 1537 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,120 Speaker 2: had any indication you may have to rethink the budget? 1538 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 2: Was it too early? 1539 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:09,800 Speaker 7: Well? 1540 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 13: I have absolutely had an indication that if this crisis 1541 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 13: is prolonged and continues, and these very high oil prices 1542 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 13: are sustained four months or even longer, that will have 1543 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 13: an effect on inflation here at home. 1544 01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 2: When do you have to mean, You've got two months 1545 01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:27,400 Speaker 2: and the budgets happening, So when do you have to 1546 01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 2: start thinking about whether you rework the budget? 1547 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:30,040 Speaker 4: Well? 1548 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,839 Speaker 13: I get my final economic forecasts on the first of April, 1549 01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 13: so that's when I know what is the outlook for 1550 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,439 Speaker 13: the New Zealand economy, and there will be time at 1551 01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 13: that juncture to assess for given that, what does that 1552 01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 13: mean for the spending decisions that the government makes for 1553 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,160 Speaker 13: this year's budget? So there will be time to react 1554 01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:48,400 Speaker 13: to that if need be. 1555 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,479 Speaker 2: Okay, Nikolas, why didn't you fully back Chris Luxon on Friday? 1556 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:52,720 Speaker 3: I did? 1557 01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,760 Speaker 2: You didn't. You were asked if I had the right guy? 1558 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 2: You were asked, is he the right guy? And you 1559 01:12:58,080 --> 01:12:58,960 Speaker 2: didn't say yes. 1560 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,439 Speaker 13: He had the backing of the National Party caucus. 1561 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:08,639 Speaker 2: I said, yes, do you want to try again there? Yes? 1562 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:12,639 Speaker 13: And I heard you fiscim the interview late last week, 1563 01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 13: and I thought, actually that you were being quite an 1564 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 13: imaginary artist in terms of your reading between lines that 1565 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,479 Speaker 13: simply weren't things that I said. I was very clear 1566 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 13: that not only does the Prime Minister have my backing, 1567 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 13: he has the backing of our entire National Party caucus, 1568 01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,840 Speaker 13: he has the backing of our government, and he is 1569 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 13: doing an excellent job. And to try and read anything 1570 01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 13: other than those precise statements into what I said, I 1571 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 13: think is just mischief making. 1572 01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 14: Well. 1573 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I've been around long enough to know exactly 1574 01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 2: what you were doing by not answering that question directly. 1575 01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,120 Speaker 13: And I've been around long enough to see mischief making 1576 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:51,479 Speaker 13: by the media for many, many years. And as much 1577 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,679 Speaker 13: as you're accusing me of list, you were not immune 1578 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:53,920 Speaker 13: from it. 1579 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:55,519 Speaker 2: Are you accusing me now? 1580 01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,120 Speaker 13: How Yes, because I backed the Prime Minister. I am 1581 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,680 Speaker 13: loyal to the Prime Minister and that's exactly what I 1582 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:02,679 Speaker 13: laid out on Friday. 1583 01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,799 Speaker 2: All right, is this coming up at caucus tomorrow? 1584 01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 13: Well, we don't discuss what we discuss at caucus. Caucus 1585 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:13,560 Speaker 13: as a private meeting where we discuss upcoming policy, legislation 1586 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:14,680 Speaker 13: and other issues of the day. 1587 01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:16,600 Speaker 2: All right, nick Ella, thank you very much for the 1588 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,160 Speaker 2: time appreciated. It's called Nikola Willis Finance Minister. Quarter past six. 1589 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplessy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1590 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by Newstalks EBB. Approaching the numbers 1591 01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 1: and getting the results. It's Heather Duplessy Allen on the 1592 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,680 Speaker 1: Business Hour with maths, insurance and investments. Your futures in 1593 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,720 Speaker 1: good hands, US talks EDB. 1594 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,000 Speaker 2: Heather. The Commerce Commission will do absolutely nothing. The fuel 1595 01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 2: companies pull this truck every single time that oil price 1596 01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:47,640 Speaker 2: is spike. Then there's the public complaints on talkback for 1597 01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,880 Speaker 2: a few weeks, and then eventually we all move move on. 1598 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,120 Speaker 2: I'm disgruntled, but submissive. I agree, and it's going to 1599 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 2: play out the way it always has, but they will 1600 01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,320 Speaker 2: probably be a little bit more careful and rocketing the 1601 01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 2: price up because everybody's watching so closely at the minute. Anyway, 1602 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,760 Speaker 2: that's what I'd like to think. Nineteen past six, and 1603 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,679 Speaker 2: on that very subject, we have Shane solely harbor asset 1604 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,479 Speaker 2: management with US high Shane, I have that. Okay, where's 1605 01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:10,360 Speaker 2: the oil price at now? How does this compare with 1606 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 2: previous events? 1607 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,320 Speaker 14: Yeah, Look, it's really moving quite quickly. So today it's 1608 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,639 Speaker 14: closing about one hundred and fifteen dollars per barrel. That's 1609 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,280 Speaker 14: for brint, up sixty percent from the twenty twenty seventh 1610 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,799 Speaker 14: of February, which is the day before the fair strucks. 1611 01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 14: Last time we saw this Heather was back in twenty 1612 01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 14: ten twenty fourteen, which is the hour of spring disruptions. 1613 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:34,240 Speaker 14: Difference this time around is these are the attacks on refineries. 1614 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:38,439 Speaker 14: It seen an increase in gas prices and crackspreads. It's 1615 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,960 Speaker 14: the cost of turning a barrel in the world into jetfill. 1616 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:45,280 Speaker 14: For example, it's about ten times up, so quite a widening. 1617 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:49,720 Speaker 14: Normally we see the worst early on until we see 1618 01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,840 Speaker 14: the scope and the breadth of the disruption. But look, 1619 01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:56,040 Speaker 14: it's nobody's interests for the straits of homes to be closed, 1620 01:15:56,479 --> 01:16:00,160 Speaker 14: but they are, they affected, they are. So we to 1621 01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,240 Speaker 14: see a bit of a demand and supply response. Historically 1622 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 14: above one hundred dollars a barrel, we start to see 1623 01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,479 Speaker 14: demand turning off, and we also start to see the 1624 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 14: US releasing some of its strategic reserves. So look, it's 1625 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 14: going to be pretty dynamic. But how high energy prices go, 1626 01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,320 Speaker 14: how long they stay out about it, that will impact 1627 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,719 Speaker 14: the global economy, central bank policy responses, and how investment 1628 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 14: markets go. At the moment, people are taking the negative view. 1629 01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,759 Speaker 2: Okay, talk me through what you're seeing in the capital markets. 1630 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:33,120 Speaker 14: So long term bond yards that doesn't get talked about 1631 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,040 Speaker 14: a lot. This is the like ten year government bond 1632 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,439 Speaker 14: yards in the US, they've gone up by zero point 1633 01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:39,360 Speaker 14: two percent to about four point one Here in New 1634 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,800 Speaker 14: Zealand they're up about zero point three five percent to 1635 01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,160 Speaker 14: four point seven percent. That means we're all paying a 1636 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 14: bit more for borrowing. So the cost of borrowing money 1637 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 14: is gone up for particularly businesses and consumers. Over time, 1638 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 14: Shear markets actually have been relatively you know, the risk 1639 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 14: hasn't come through quite as much. S and P five 1640 01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:03,599 Speaker 14: hundred down to two percent from its pre strike price, 1641 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 14: but the futures of a night here they're looking like 1642 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,040 Speaker 14: they're going to be down about two percent. We've seen 1643 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:11,200 Speaker 14: some really big moves in other markets that they're sort 1644 01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:14,479 Speaker 14: of secondary markets. The career market, for example, is down 1645 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,760 Speaker 14: eighteen percent, Japanese market down twelve percent from before that 1646 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 14: pre strike level. They're both very oil intensive importers, so 1647 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,560 Speaker 14: they're more exposed. Europe down about seven locally. Here in 1648 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,320 Speaker 14: New Zealand we're about four point six percent down from 1649 01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,800 Speaker 14: that pre strike level. Today a bit of a soft day, 1650 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:34,080 Speaker 14: down three point one percent, led by weakness and companies 1651 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 14: like Fishing and Bugle health Care and A two which 1652 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,599 Speaker 14: have been strong performance before this, and then travels sensitive 1653 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,080 Speaker 14: companies like Upen Airport and bind Se set of companies 1654 01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:45,000 Speaker 14: like in fratill and Gentiles. But New Zealand we tend 1655 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,400 Speaker 14: to be a little less volatile. We're more defensive, so 1656 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,000 Speaker 14: not surprising to see us do less bad. 1657 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, thank you very much. Shane has always appreciate 1658 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 2: your time, mate. That's Shane Soley of harbor asset management 1659 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 2: worth mentioning as well. Of course, the price of aviation 1660 01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:00,680 Speaker 2: fuel has spiked, so that's going to get two six 1661 01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 2: twenty two. 1662 01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro micro or just plain economics, it's all 1663 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 1: on the business hour with the DUP, SLA and MAS 1664 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,000 Speaker 1: insurance and investments. 1665 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:16,160 Speaker 3: Your futures in good hands us talk ZB local Z. 1666 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,559 Speaker 2: In West Aalkland diesel has gone from a dollar ninety 1667 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 2: nine to two dollars forty in the past two days. 1668 01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,640 Speaker 2: That must be for diesel already in the country and 1669 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 2: no reason for that. Listen on the old greenwashing thing. 1670 01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,680 Speaker 2: I actually I feel a little bit. 1671 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 14: Do I feel torn? 1672 01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 2: No, I just enjoy it. I quite like the businesses 1673 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,439 Speaker 2: getting done at the minute with allegations of greenwashing, because 1674 01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,400 Speaker 2: I never really enjoyed the fact that we all got 1675 01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:41,040 Speaker 2: so weird about the climate and pretended that we were 1676 01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 2: doing for the climate when we really weren't doing anything 1677 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:45,599 Speaker 2: for the climate. The latest business to get in trouble 1678 01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 2: is Mazda in trouble with the old climate the climate 1679 01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,200 Speaker 2: lawyers who are making a bit of a nuisance of 1680 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,600 Speaker 2: themselves for these businesses. What Mazda has done allegedly is 1681 01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,600 Speaker 2: They've got this promotion that they've been running in New 1682 01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,640 Speaker 2: Zealand called Driving Good and they promised that if you 1683 01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 2: bought a car, they would donate five trees to a 1684 01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,360 Speaker 2: tree planting charity to offset the CO two emissions of 1685 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,600 Speaker 2: the car for the five year warranty period. The problem is, 1686 01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:13,400 Speaker 2: according to the lawyers for Climate Action, they say that 1687 01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:17,160 Speaker 2: you actually need forty one thousand native trees to cover 1688 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,840 Speaker 2: the emissions of a c X five for five years, 1689 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,360 Speaker 2: not five trees. So they are off to the Advertising 1690 01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,680 Speaker 2: Standards Authority on allegations of greenwashing. And I'm going to 1691 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 2: be keeping an eye on it for you and updating 1692 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:30,040 Speaker 2: you as this goes along. Six twenty six. 1693 01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:34,080 Speaker 3: There's no business like show business, Nicka. 1694 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,840 Speaker 2: So it's been a little bit of a scary day 1695 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 2: for Rhanna because her Beverly Hail's home was the target 1696 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 2: of a daylight drive by shooting. A woman in her 1697 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,960 Speaker 2: thirties was arrested at the scene for allegedly firing bullets 1698 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,080 Speaker 2: from her car at the singer's home at around one 1699 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 2: o'clock in the afternoon in La The suspect then drove 1700 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,559 Speaker 2: off in a white Tesla. She was found about half 1701 01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,040 Speaker 2: an hour later in a shopping center car park. Radio 1702 01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,599 Speaker 2: dispatch said the woman had her hair and braids, wore 1703 01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,519 Speaker 2: a cream colored blouse. In the outside of her car 1704 01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,200 Speaker 2: was dirt. It's been reported the weapon used was an 1705 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,519 Speaker 2: AR fifteen style rifle. Rhianna was in the house at 1706 01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,240 Speaker 2: the time, but there's no word on where her husband, 1707 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,519 Speaker 2: Asap Rocky, or the couple three kids were. Only one 1708 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 2: bullet actually penetrated the wall of the mansion. Luckily no 1709 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,160 Speaker 2: one was hurt. A local reporter was there on the scene. 1710 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,040 Speaker 14: Quiet Street in Beverly Hills. 1711 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:19,760 Speaker 9: This is as close as we can get right now. 1712 01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:25,120 Speaker 9: Tons of undercover police here, investigation still ongoing. 1713 01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:26,479 Speaker 14: Yeah, helicopters above. 1714 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:29,799 Speaker 2: And then he talked to one of the singer's neighbors 1715 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:31,320 Speaker 2: who said he heard about ten. 1716 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,759 Speaker 9: Shots, probably ten shots. 1717 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:35,320 Speaker 26: Wow. 1718 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:39,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, So that happened for Rhianna today. So whatever happened 1719 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 2: in your day, it probably wasn't nearly as horrific more 1720 01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:46,040 Speaker 2: exciting as Rihanna's day was. Right onto the asteroids mining. Now, 1721 01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:47,519 Speaker 2: I know, if I say to you asteroid mining, you 1722 01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:49,679 Speaker 2: think this is ridiculous and what are you even talking about? 1723 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 2: But we are at the stage with asteroid mining that 1724 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:55,000 Speaker 2: we apparently need some rules. We'll get you across that next. 1725 01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:17,600 Speaker 1: On the way, everything from SMEs to the big corporates, 1726 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 1: the business hour with head, the duper salt and mass, 1727 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:25,439 Speaker 1: insurance and investments, your futures in good hands, us talks. 1728 01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:25,760 Speaker 21: It'd be. 1729 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:35,040 Speaker 3: You don't have to got and oh god, I get. 1730 01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 2: You're able to get us out of the UK and 1731 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:38,639 Speaker 2: ten minutes time. Read in to this what you will. 1732 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,000 Speaker 2: But Methanex has written down its business here in New Zealand, 1733 01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:45,320 Speaker 2: the methanol business in Taranaki to zero. It's booked a 1734 01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:49,560 Speaker 2: seventy one million US dollar non cash impairment reducing the 1735 01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:52,760 Speaker 2: New Zealand cash generating unit to a recoverable amount of 1736 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 2: nil in its annual report. Think you know what that means? 1737 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,240 Speaker 2: Twenty five away from seven. Time for us to talk 1738 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,519 Speaker 2: about asteroid mining now. It is something that you generally 1739 01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 2: only expect to see in the sci fi movies, but 1740 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,960 Speaker 2: apparently it is actually close to becoming a reality. In fact, 1741 01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 2: the technology to do this is now so far advanced 1742 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,719 Speaker 2: that there are already worries over how to regulate the industry. 1743 01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,799 Speaker 2: Animory Brennan is a senior law lecturer at Whichattle University 1744 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:16,919 Speaker 2: and with us high animory. 1745 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 20: Hi, thanks so much for having me. 1746 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're welcome, Thanks for joining us. How close is it? Like, 1747 01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 2: how long before we're actually mining an asteroid by the end. 1748 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 20: Of the decade by all accounts, and the technology to 1749 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,880 Speaker 20: get us there is actually being built and developed here 1750 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:33,559 Speaker 20: in New Zealand. 1751 01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 2: How do you actually do it? How would they do it? 1752 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:41,479 Speaker 20: It's basically about sending small, smart robots to find, sample 1753 01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 20: and extract well what we think might be useful stuff 1754 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,759 Speaker 20: from near Earth asteroids, water for fuel and life support, 1755 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 20: metals for structure, and perhaps one day as well traces 1756 01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 20: of platinum group elements. So the near term payoff isn't 1757 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 20: bags of platinum. It's basically about in space fuel and 1758 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,800 Speaker 20: oxygen that we can stay in space for longer and 1759 01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,040 Speaker 20: so that we don't have to bring everything with us 1760 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,519 Speaker 20: from Earth. So basically that is the logic behind NASA's 1761 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:13,080 Speaker 20: institue resource utilization plans and also industry plans as well, 1762 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 20: to try and have the basics when we do want 1763 01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,040 Speaker 20: to construct and stay longer in outer space. 1764 01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,559 Speaker 2: So is there no one who was motivated to mind 1765 01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 2: the critical minerals and bring them back here. 1766 01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 20: Well, those minerals as well will be crucial for our smartphones, 1767 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 20: everything from palladium for creating electronics and advanced medical devices, 1768 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:44,200 Speaker 20: pacemakers and catalytic converters. And indeed, one of the big 1769 01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:49,120 Speaker 20: environ mental payoffs here is actually that it would reduce 1770 01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:52,240 Speaker 20: the environmental footprint here on Earth. This is what some 1771 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:57,640 Speaker 20: researchers think, but at the same time, a lot of researchers, 1772 01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,600 Speaker 20: a lot of lawyers think that we do need a 1773 01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:02,559 Speaker 20: monitoring mechanism for. 1774 01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:05,160 Speaker 13: This activity. 1775 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,719 Speaker 20: And of course New Zealand is intertwined with this story. 1776 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:13,080 Speaker 20: The California startup Astroforge launched Odin in twenty twenty five 1777 01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:17,240 Speaker 20: to scout a metal rich asteroid and the spacecraft flew 1778 01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:21,479 Speaker 20: with propulsion from Dawn Aerospace, which is a New Zealand 1779 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:26,760 Speaker 20: based company, and don Aerospace's own Heritage Lab notes that 1780 01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 20: the Odin spacecraft is equipped with Dawn Aerospace SAT drive propulsion. Now, 1781 01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 20: New Zealand is regarded as a strong player in the space. 1782 01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:41,439 Speaker 20: In the space industry, it is heavily regulated to ensure 1783 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:45,799 Speaker 20: that that operations launch from here don't have the environmental footprint, 1784 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,800 Speaker 20: but other countries don't have that robust regulation. So the 1785 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:54,559 Speaker 20: concerns are that other if other companies launch from other countries, 1786 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 20: how do we ensure that the environmental footprint is kept 1787 01:24:58,400 --> 01:24:59,360 Speaker 20: as low as possible? 1788 01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,599 Speaker 2: What do we are we concerned about what happens back 1789 01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,280 Speaker 2: on Earth or are we concerned that they get up 1790 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:05,840 Speaker 2: there in the muck around of the asteroid and then 1791 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 2: but start hitting satellites. 1792 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,800 Speaker 20: Well, the risks here I suppose, firstly, if we look 1793 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 20: at outer space drilling, thruster plumes and even surface contact 1794 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 20: and kick up dust that can threaten other spacecraft along 1795 01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:24,240 Speaker 20: too other companies and states and also contaminate pristine science targets. 1796 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,559 Speaker 20: And that is why we see emerging norms around drilling 1797 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,439 Speaker 20: and mining and outer space trying to emphasize transparency and 1798 01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:37,080 Speaker 20: dec confiction and sustainability so that there aren't any disputes 1799 01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,000 Speaker 20: or arguments about how we go about asteroid mining. And 1800 01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,800 Speaker 20: then this is also ongoing at the level at the 1801 01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,519 Speaker 20: UN level with the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of 1802 01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 20: Outer Space. So they're trying to develop the guidelines in 1803 01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 20: actual real time to try and put principles to provide 1804 01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:55,800 Speaker 20: guidelines in place so that we can actually mine. 1805 01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 2: We are we getting a hit of ourselves here, because 1806 01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:01,680 Speaker 2: I mean, if we just look at the critical minerals mining, right, 1807 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:04,479 Speaker 2: it is so enormously expensive to mine it on Earth. 1808 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,800 Speaker 2: Surely if you're then sending a piece of citap up 1809 01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:09,600 Speaker 2: into space to go in mind, it just makes the 1810 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 2: whole thing impossible in terms of its expenses. And surely 1811 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,679 Speaker 2: the same must also be true of trying to get water, oxygen, 1812 01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,040 Speaker 2: or anything out of asteroid. It's surely cheaper to just 1813 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:18,360 Speaker 2: take it. 1814 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:18,800 Speaker 7: Up with you. 1815 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 20: Some companies actually can'tlate that's actually cheaper to drill in 1816 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:29,560 Speaker 20: outer space for fuel and oxygen. And again what we 1817 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,760 Speaker 20: see in is NASA might have very big, a very 1818 01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 20: big budget to pull off their operations and outer space, 1819 01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,479 Speaker 20: but companies can do it at a much cheaper cost. 1820 01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 20: And we see that again and again again. And also 1821 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,360 Speaker 20: what we see astrophysicists foreseeing is that the first trillionaire 1822 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:50,519 Speaker 20: trillionaire will be from actually asteroid mining. So again what 1823 01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:54,400 Speaker 20: we see companies here are being very very innovative in 1824 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:59,400 Speaker 20: achieving these goals and at a kind of a low 1825 01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 20: cost rate comparison to state operations. 1826 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,439 Speaker 2: Interesting. Hey, thank you very much for talking us through 1827 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,879 Speaker 2: at Anna Marie Brennan, who is the way Cuttle University 1828 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 2: Senior law lecturer. A twenty away from seven. There is 1829 01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 2: drama over and over in Australia about the Iranian football team, 1830 01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 2: the women's football team, because they've lost their final game 1831 01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:19,960 Speaker 2: of the Women's Asia Cup and they due to go 1832 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,120 Speaker 2: back to a run. No one knows when they do 1833 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:23,680 Speaker 2: to go back to a run, but there is an 1834 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,720 Speaker 2: increasing concern that when they do, they are going to 1835 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,439 Speaker 2: be in a huge amount of trouble because they refuse 1836 01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,519 Speaker 2: to sing their national anthem before their first game and 1837 01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,800 Speaker 2: people back in a run that the state broadcasters started 1838 01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:36,720 Speaker 2: calling for them to to be dealt to as a 1839 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 2: result of that, so there are now calls for the 1840 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,760 Speaker 2: Australian government to offer them asylum. At this stage it 1841 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,479 Speaker 2: hasn't been offered. To keep an eye on that because 1842 01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 2: they be it may be something that happens there, just 1843 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 2: on something else altogether. Over the weekend I was reading 1844 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,560 Speaker 2: the international papers. I thought, this is an interesting perspective 1845 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,760 Speaker 2: because at the moment, everybody that you read talking about 1846 01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 2: the weight loss jabs. You know, the wire go VI 1847 01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,640 Speaker 2: and the ozempic and the various others that you get 1848 01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 2: from other other companies and whatnot. Everybody is just universally 1849 01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,160 Speaker 2: excited about it, like it is an enormous game and changer, 1850 01:28:08,479 --> 01:28:11,880 Speaker 2: except for this one guy who is UK's Chief Medical Officer, 1851 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,280 Speaker 2: Professor Sir Chris Whitty. He says relying on the drugs 1852 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 2: to get us out of a hole was a socially 1853 01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 2: acceptable answer, but it was unacceptable as far as he 1854 01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:25,000 Speaker 2: was concerned, because he said they're needed for a small minority, 1855 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,320 Speaker 2: but if they were taken by a high proportion of 1856 01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:31,920 Speaker 2: the population, particularly in areas of deprivation, not in areas 1857 01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,479 Speaker 2: of affluence, I think that is a societal failure and 1858 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 2: just relying on the drugs to me, seems the wrong answer. 1859 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,479 Speaker 2: And what he seems to be particularly concerned about is 1860 01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:43,240 Speaker 2: that there's a whole group of people just letting their 1861 01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:46,040 Speaker 2: kids get fat and just not concerned about it because 1862 01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 2: they're like, it's okay, they'll get to eighteen and they 1863 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:49,840 Speaker 2: can jab themselves, as if that's going to be the solution. 1864 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:51,840 Speaker 2: He doesn't think that that's an acceptable way of dealing 1865 01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:54,040 Speaker 2: with obesity at all. Eighteen away from seven. 1866 01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,920 Speaker 1: Ever's to do with money. It matters to you the 1867 01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:01,280 Speaker 1: business hour with head they duper c Allen and Mas 1868 01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:05,920 Speaker 1: Insurance and investments with your futures in good hands US talks. 1869 01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:09,240 Speaker 2: I'd be whether it is astronomically expensive. It is impractical 1870 01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:11,680 Speaker 2: to escape Earth's gravity, so sourcing fuel and water in 1871 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 2: space is one hundred percent the way to go. Well, 1872 01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,680 Speaker 2: that's the argument for it. But the argument against it 1873 01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,600 Speaker 2: is that it is just so enormously expensive to do 1874 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 2: any of the stuff on Earth. Try sending a rocket 1875 01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:22,680 Speaker 2: up to space to try and do it. It just 1876 01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,559 Speaker 2: raises the price. Listen, and it's being reported that acid 1877 01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:29,200 Speaker 2: rain is falling into run because of the fuel depot fires. 1878 01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,519 Speaker 2: So there are about three fires I saw at last count, 1879 01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,960 Speaker 2: sparked by some Israeli strikes and as a result, it's 1880 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 2: turn the rain a bit yucked for the people there. 1881 01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,479 Speaker 2: Call it to seven. Gavin Gray are UK correspondence with US. Hello, Gavin, 1882 01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 2: So after the chat on the phone, how are things 1883 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:44,800 Speaker 2: between Sir Kia and Donald Trump? 1884 01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:48,760 Speaker 10: I don't think they're very much better. We don't know 1885 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,200 Speaker 10: really the content of the call. I would love to 1886 01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:55,080 Speaker 10: have been listening in, that's for sure. I'm sure lots 1887 01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:57,600 Speaker 10: of advisors to our Prime Minister were listening in this 1888 01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:00,799 Speaker 10: is the first call, the first time that two leaders 1889 01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:05,920 Speaker 10: Trump and Starmer has spoken since the very growing and 1890 01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,719 Speaker 10: rather nasty spat has developed between them. I say developed 1891 01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 10: between them. Really it's the US President angrily criticizing the 1892 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:19,280 Speaker 10: UK's Iran response, rather than Sekir Starmer responding with anything 1893 01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:25,120 Speaker 10: offensive or rather objectionable his way. So it has been 1894 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,360 Speaker 10: rather one way traffic. But we learn from Downing Street 1895 01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,360 Speaker 10: the pair have had a phone call and this was 1896 01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:34,960 Speaker 10: the very short, terse statement. The leaders began by discussing 1897 01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,160 Speaker 10: the latest situation in the Middle East and the military 1898 01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,720 Speaker 10: cooperation between the UK and US through the use of 1899 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 10: RAF basis in support of the collective to self defense 1900 01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:46,400 Speaker 10: of partners. The Prime Minister also shared his heartfelt condolence 1901 01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,479 Speaker 10: with President Trump following the death of six US soldiers. 1902 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,559 Speaker 10: They looked forward to speaking again soon. In other words, 1903 01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:54,880 Speaker 10: I imagine there's an awful lot of content in there 1904 01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:58,120 Speaker 10: that we simply don't know, and I can't imagine that 1905 01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:01,720 Speaker 10: it was particularly pleasant call fought Sekir Starmer, with his 1906 01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:05,599 Speaker 10: ear being bent as it were by President Trump. Either way, 1907 01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,559 Speaker 10: the UK is said to be considering sending an air 1908 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:12,839 Speaker 10: force an aircraft carrier rather to the region to strengthen 1909 01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:16,400 Speaker 10: its defenses there, and this ship that's supposed to be 1910 01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:20,840 Speaker 10: going to protect Cyprus still hasn't left port. A rather 1911 01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,680 Speaker 10: embarrassing thing, I think for the UK, which makes it 1912 01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:24,840 Speaker 10: look rather unprepared. 1913 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,920 Speaker 2: Do we ye'd have any understanding as to why it 1914 01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:31,320 Speaker 2: is that various members of Sirkis Stamer's cabinet felt it 1915 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:33,479 Speaker 2: was necessary to say no to that US request. 1916 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:37,559 Speaker 10: I think that it was something as well that Sekir 1917 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:40,920 Speaker 10: Starmer felt strongly about, and that is that this should 1918 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:45,440 Speaker 10: have gone to be discussed whether it's legal under international 1919 01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:50,559 Speaker 10: law or not. He hasn't said it isn't within international law, 1920 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,040 Speaker 10: but obviously by not saying that refusing to answer it, 1921 01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,040 Speaker 10: he feels it is. This is a man who is 1922 01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,600 Speaker 10: a lawyer by trade and he wants everything to be 1923 01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,080 Speaker 10: done by the book. It's quite clear that they don't 1924 01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 10: believe this is done by the book. He said, we 1925 01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:06,439 Speaker 10: don't believe in regime change from the skies, I think 1926 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:10,479 Speaker 10: is his most telling phrase. And after all the sort 1927 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:12,680 Speaker 10: of various words that have been said in anger and 1928 01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:15,880 Speaker 10: opposition MPs and MPs from his own party having a 1929 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:17,880 Speaker 10: bit of a go at him, I think if you're 1930 01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,840 Speaker 10: squashed between these very tough decisions. Most recently, the former 1931 01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,479 Speaker 10: Labor Prime Minister, in other words, from the same party 1932 01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:28,640 Speaker 10: Sek Sir Tony Blair, who led the UK into the 1933 01:32:28,680 --> 01:32:31,519 Speaker 10: Iraq War in two thousand and three, has been telling 1934 01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:35,080 Speaker 10: people privately that the UK should have backed the strikes 1935 01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:35,839 Speaker 10: from the beginning. 1936 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Now, what do we know about the some 1937 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:39,479 Speaker 2: terrorism in Oslo? 1938 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,040 Speaker 10: Well, we don't have it one hundred percent confirmed, but 1939 01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:48,439 Speaker 10: overnight at the weekend the Norwegian capital embassy building, the 1940 01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:53,479 Speaker 10: US embassy building, sustained minor damage after an explosion in 1941 01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:54,839 Speaker 10: the early hours of Sunday. 1942 01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:55,719 Speaker 3: No one was injured. 1943 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:58,840 Speaker 10: The Norwegian authorities say they're in contact with the US 1944 01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:03,639 Speaker 10: diplomats and investigation is underway. US diplomats, though have not commented. 1945 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:07,760 Speaker 10: It is the second attack that we know about on 1946 01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:12,160 Speaker 10: an US embassy another one was in Iraq. But they 1947 01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,960 Speaker 10: do believe, yep, this could have been an act of terrorism. 1948 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,479 Speaker 10: That's one of the lines of the investigation they're working on, 1949 01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,559 Speaker 10: and they're asking for anyone with information to come forward. 1950 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:24,000 Speaker 2: And what's the spire in Glasgow? 1951 01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:29,840 Speaker 10: Huge, absolutely huge and to an iconic building. It's very, 1952 01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:33,760 Speaker 10: very sad because really it's it's partially collapsed and I 1953 01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:37,680 Speaker 10: think it's going to be pretty much unusable now. The 1954 01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 10: fire started in a vape shop on Sunday afternoon, with 1955 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:46,920 Speaker 10: the iconic and Victorian building of the Glasgow Central Station 1956 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,960 Speaker 10: next to it, and after a few hours in the flames, 1957 01:33:50,439 --> 01:33:54,599 Speaker 10: much of that building has collapsed. Now is Scotland's busiest 1958 01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,680 Speaker 10: train station and now all trains to and from that 1959 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:01,560 Speaker 10: what's called the High Level there have been canceled and 1960 01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:04,880 Speaker 10: will be closed. The station will be closed until further noticed. 1961 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:08,160 Speaker 10: So this is going to cause massive disruption. Many people 1962 01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:10,719 Speaker 10: are being told the best way really to get anywhere 1963 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:14,880 Speaker 10: by train, particularly back down south into England, is probably 1964 01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:18,519 Speaker 10: to go across to Edinburgh and then down. It's that 1965 01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,280 Speaker 10: lad at least an hour onto their journey. It's also 1966 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 10: a very long way round. 1967 01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:24,280 Speaker 2: Hey, thank you very much, Gavin. We'll talk to you 1968 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,040 Speaker 2: in a couple of days. Devin Gray, our UK correspondent. 1969 01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:29,439 Speaker 2: Keep an eye out for what's going to happen in 1970 01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:33,920 Speaker 2: the Australian budget with what they're calling intergenerational fairness. I 1971 01:34:33,960 --> 01:34:35,599 Speaker 2: think this is going to shape up to be potentially 1972 01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:39,960 Speaker 2: quite interesting. Over in the this Cidy Morning Herald is 1973 01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:42,720 Speaker 2: carrying a piece at the moment talking about basically how 1974 01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:46,800 Speaker 2: much wealth baby boomers have. They are obviously the wealthiest 1975 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,639 Speaker 2: generation in Australia and you could probably say the same 1976 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:52,799 Speaker 2: for in New Zealand. In Australia, they have their collective 1977 01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:56,639 Speaker 2: wealth now sitting at nearly six trillion dollars. It's gone 1978 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:59,519 Speaker 2: up by eight hundred and forty percent since two thousand 1979 01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:02,880 Speaker 2: and two. They now control almost a third of national wealth, 1980 01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 2: while the economic share of every other generation has fallen. 1981 01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:10,240 Speaker 2: While baby boomers hold three trillion dollars in property with 1982 01:35:10,360 --> 01:35:14,920 Speaker 2: virtually no debt, gen X's carrier staggering nine hundred billion 1983 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:16,800 Speaker 2: dollars in debt for the same level of property that 1984 01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,479 Speaker 2: they hold. Why two thousand and two is important is 1985 01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:21,920 Speaker 2: because at two thousand and two what happened well, I 1986 01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,720 Speaker 2: mean that's basically where they win their earning capacity and 1987 01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:27,799 Speaker 2: the height of their earning In their forties and fifties, 1988 01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:30,160 Speaker 2: they had about twenty six point seven percent of the 1989 01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:32,599 Speaker 2: wealth that's now gone up to, as I said, about 1990 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:36,240 Speaker 2: a third because when they started retiring around about twenty 1991 01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:40,120 Speaker 2: eleven or thereabouts, that's when global interest rates went down 1992 01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:42,800 Speaker 2: property and equity markets went up, and so whatever they 1993 01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:46,040 Speaker 2: were owning just got more and more valuable, I suppose. Anyway, 1994 01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,240 Speaker 2: as a result, the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers says while he's 1995 01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 2: preparing the federal budget that he's going to deal with 1996 01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,439 Speaker 2: intergenerational fairness and quite what that looks like will be 1997 01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:57,040 Speaker 2: the fascinating thing. Eight away from seven It's. 1998 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:57,639 Speaker 3: The Heather Top. 1999 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:01,880 Speaker 1: See Alan Drive Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 2000 01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,280 Speaker 1: Newstalk ZB here the come on, don't. 2001 01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:08,040 Speaker 2: Chap me and the fat the loose fat jabs destroys 2002 01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:11,120 Speaker 2: the bone density, deletes the muscle mass, deteriorates the eye sight. 2003 01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:13,320 Speaker 2: Maybe so, but it makes everybody look super hot. So 2004 01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:17,760 Speaker 2: you know, no pay, no gain, whatever people do, whatever. 2005 01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:19,439 Speaker 2: I'm not I'm making this. 2006 01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:20,720 Speaker 26: This is not constitute health. 2007 01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:22,840 Speaker 2: No, it's not health advice. And I'm also making it 2008 01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:24,960 Speaker 2: sound like I'm on the fat jab, which I'm not. 2009 01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:28,280 Speaker 2: It's contestifying to otherwise I'd be half the size of 2010 01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:30,960 Speaker 2: what I am. I just am excited for other people 2011 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,160 Speaker 2: who have this as an option. Anyway, Listen, everyone's favorite 2012 01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:36,680 Speaker 2: cute little actor, Timothy Shallows and hot Water. I don't 2013 01:36:36,720 --> 01:36:38,800 Speaker 2: know if you've seen this over the weekend. He said, 2014 01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:40,880 Speaker 2: no one cares about ballet and opera while he was 2015 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 2: talking to somebody else and some chat thing, and here 2016 01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:43,800 Speaker 2: it is. 2017 01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:46,360 Speaker 14: And I don't want to be working in ballet or 2018 01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:48,800 Speaker 14: opera or you know things where it's like, hey. 2019 01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 11: Keep this thing alive, even though cares about the ill 2020 01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:54,000 Speaker 11: respect to the ballet and opera people. 2021 01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:57,360 Speaker 14: I just lost fourteen cents in viewership. 2022 01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,760 Speaker 2: But so it blew up because j Lee Curtis went 2023 01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:02,640 Speaker 2: on and stand she told him off, and then a 2024 01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:04,920 Speaker 2: British designer went on and told him off, and then 2025 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,240 Speaker 2: Seattle Opera started offering discount tickets to people who use 2026 01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:14,000 Speaker 2: the promotional code Timothy. And you know he's probably freaking out. 2027 01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:18,320 Speaker 2: But is he wrong? Is he wrong? If we here's 2028 01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:21,879 Speaker 2: the test. If we pulled all public funding, like taxpayer 2029 01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:23,760 Speaker 2: money for the ballet, I don't even know. If we 2030 01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:26,080 Speaker 2: give money to the opera, we'd probably do. But if 2031 01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,599 Speaker 2: we pulled all public money from the ballet and the opera, 2032 01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:30,200 Speaker 2: would it survive without it? 2033 01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:31,040 Speaker 7: No? 2034 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:32,760 Speaker 2: So I think Timothy's right. 2035 01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:37,320 Speaker 26: Hence Chains of Love by Charlie XCX to play us 2036 01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:40,120 Speaker 26: out tonight. If Timothy gets canceled by this in this 2037 01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:42,200 Speaker 26: space in Hollywood for a new star. I think Charlie 2038 01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:44,040 Speaker 26: XCX is pretty keen to be it. She said she 2039 01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:47,160 Speaker 26: wants to maybe quit music and act. She's been doing 2040 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:50,920 Speaker 26: a few music projects movie projects. Rather recently. She the 2041 01:37:51,040 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 26: song she did for the Wuthering Heights movie that has 2042 01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:55,400 Speaker 26: recently came out, and she's doing some music for a 2043 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 26: different horror movie. And she said, yeah, I'm really keen 2044 01:37:57,560 --> 01:37:59,760 Speaker 26: to get more into movies and to be thing. To her, 2045 01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:02,559 Speaker 26: she now released six albums, so I can see how 2046 01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,200 Speaker 26: you'd probably at that point in your career, maybe you 2047 01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:06,880 Speaker 26: want to do more movies and stuff instead. But who knows. 2048 01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:09,240 Speaker 26: Celebrities are always saying stuff like this, So who knows. 2049 01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:10,840 Speaker 2: Whether have we ever seen Have we seen her act? 2050 01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:14,599 Speaker 26: I certainly haven't. I don't know whether because she's mostly 2051 01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:16,120 Speaker 26: done the music for movies, I don't know if she's 2052 01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:16,759 Speaker 26: actually appeared. 2053 01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:19,040 Speaker 2: And always worry about that.
