1 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Pressing the newspakers to get the real story. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 2: It's hither Duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 2: get connected new stalk zaid be. 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon, Welcome to the show. Coming up today, 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 3: Chris Hopkins is going to be with us, talk us 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 3: through whether he's really going to stick with that oil 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 3: and gaspan. We're going to get you the latest on 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 3: the Pulkinghorn trial. The defense lawyer is really having a 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 3: crack at the investigating cops at the moment, and is 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 3: the country's toughest prison unit just too tough on the prisoners. 11 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: Heather Duplicy Ellen, I reckon. 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 3: There was actually quite a smart move from Chris Luckson 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 3: yesterday calling on opposition parties to support the government in 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 3: fixing this energy crisis that we find ourselves in at 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 3: the moment. Not only was it a smart move because 16 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 3: this is serious. We've got businesses closing down and cutting 17 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 3: jobs because they cannot afford their power bills at the moment, 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 3: and if it's that serious, it really does require everyone 19 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: in Parliament to be grown ups about it. But it's 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 3: also a smart move because I think it's going to 21 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 3: eventually politically snooker Labor on that oil and gas ban, 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 3: and I reckon they are starting to get in a 23 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 3: little bit of trouble on it now at the moment. 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: Mind blowingly, Labor is still committed to this absolutely ridiculous idea. 25 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 3: I mean even yesterday Chris Hopkins Boulders Brass said, nap, 26 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: it's a bottom line. They are absolutely going to bring 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: back the oil and gas ban. But I wonder if 28 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 3: this is something that they're saying until they say the opposite, 29 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: do you know what I mean? They're going to hold 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 3: this line hard until they change their minds on it, 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: because I don't think that they can hold this line forever. 32 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: Their argument at the moment, this is Labour's argument at 33 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: the moment, basically is the climate is more important than 34 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty mil jobs in the Ruapehu district 35 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 3: and three hundred jobs at Methanex in Taranaki. And however 36 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: many other jobs are lost around the country at businesses 37 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: that close down now because they can't afford the power bills, 38 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: because we're running out of gas and we're not trying 39 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 3: to find anymore because labor won't let us try. That's 40 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: their argument. The climate is more important than those jobs. 41 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 3: Labour's argument on why they need to maintain the ban 42 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: is just absolutely bollocks as well. I mean they go 43 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: around saying that there is no more gas out there. Basically, 44 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: yes there is. It is. There patently is gas out there. 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: There are two fields off the coast of the North 46 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 3: Island that have got gas. There's Twuty off Taranaki and 47 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: there's card Were off Raglin. Both are just sitting there. 48 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: We know they've got gas. Nobody's tapping them at the moment, 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: so it is out there. If Labor even really did 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 3: believe what it was saying, right, if it really believed 51 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: that there was no more gas out there, then why 52 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: do you need a ban. Just lift the band, let 53 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 3: the investors trick themselves and go and keep exploring for 54 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: this non existent gas. It's not going to do us 55 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: any harm if they because there's no gas to find apparently. 56 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 3: But in the meantime we're going to benefit from the 57 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: fact that these companies bring their equipment down and maintain 58 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: the wells we've already got. 59 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 4: Now. 60 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: I do not think that Labour's in trouble on this 61 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: just yet. I reckon they've got a bit of time, 62 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 3: which is why they're holding the line and saying they're 63 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: going to bring this band back. And my reason, the 64 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: reason I reckon they're not in trouble at the moment 65 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 3: is because most Kiwis are not affected yet. Most of 66 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: us do not work at Method X or any of 67 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: these businesses being shut down right now. But come April, 68 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: our power bills are all going to go up. We 69 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: are in for a nasty shock and when we see 70 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: the cost of the span on every single one of us, 71 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: Labour might have to come round to dropping this policy. 72 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: Togever do for ce Ellen, Labour's with us. 73 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: Chris Hapkins is with us after five o'clock. Now to 74 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 3: a matter that's going on in Wellington. Posties in the 75 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 3: Capitol are refusing to deliver a pamphlet that is meant 76 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: to go to eighty thousand homes. The pamphlet is from 77 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: a political campaign group called Beta Wellington and some posters 78 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: have said that they are uncomfortable delivering the pamphlet because 79 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: they reckon it contains misinformation. Now, their boss, New Zealand 80 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: post says this is not on It's not their job 81 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: to do this. John Maynard is the co president of 82 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: the Postal Workers' Union and with us. Now, hey, John 83 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: hib what's the problem with the pamphlet is at the 84 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: mosque bit. 85 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 5: The problem is that, oh, they can say whatever they 86 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 5: like about the City Council, and you know, people have 87 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 5: got their abuse, but you've got to be a bit 88 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 5: careful when you're talking about matters of sensitive community relationships. 89 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 5: And their statement is not correct. 90 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: What's not right about their statement? 91 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 5: The statement says that the Welling City Council wants six 92 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 5: mosques to broadcast the Call to Prayer across Wellington and 93 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 5: a nice board statement like that, well is. 94 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: Your problem is are you are you do you have 95 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: a problem with semantics because you know Wellington City Council 96 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: is looking into the same. 97 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 5: Indeed, so what they could have said was the Welling 98 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 5: City Council and the Islomic community having discussions about what 99 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 5: might be an appropriate time or place or process to 100 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 5: do something like this. 101 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: That's fine, John Han going, are you telling me right 102 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: now that you accept that Wellington City Council is considering 103 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 3: allowing the Call to Prayer to be broadcast. 104 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 5: They having a discussion with the Islamic community. 105 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 3: And so you're accepting, you accepting that this thing is 106 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: a potential, But you have a problem with the way 107 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: that it's been phrased. 108 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 5: Yes, I think it's. 109 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: That's that's ridiculou. I mean I could understand if you 110 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: people were not delivering a pamphlet, because what explain to 111 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: me what is misinformation about it is. 112 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 5: This is misleading. Anybody who reads that thinks, oh, we're 113 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: going to have the call to prayer every morning. That's 114 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 5: what when I've asked people to read it up, So 115 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 5: read it. 116 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: John, Does the sentence say every morning? Does it say 117 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: well into account? 118 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 6: No? 119 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 5: No, But it's been carefully written. When people write leaflets, 120 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: and I've written plenty of them myself, you're very careful 121 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 5: about the wording and you think about what are people 122 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 5: going to take from reading this. That's why I gave 123 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 5: it to people to read a pamphlet. 124 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 3: You and your post is a banning a pamphlet based 125 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: on what you think people are going to read into it. 126 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 5: Oh, we're asking banning it. We're asking New Zealand Posts 127 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 5: to assure us that the content is not illegal. Now 128 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 5: New Zealand Post was not sure whether the content was legal. 129 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: Under what law would it not be legal? 130 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 5: Well, I'm not a lawyer. We're asking the company to 131 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 5: assure us that it's legal, and they couldn't do that. 132 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: They couldn't assure us that it was what it was, 133 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 5: that it was legal. 134 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: Don't you got to have grounds to be asking something 135 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 3: like that, What Lord do you think they're breaking? 136 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 5: What Lord do we think they've broken? We've just asked 137 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 5: them that They sent us an email saying to us 138 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 5: it does not it's not obviously illegal. That's what they 139 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 5: said to us. Well that doesn't mean that it's legal. 140 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: So we've said back to them, well, if it's. 141 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 3: Not, do you want them do you want them to 142 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 3: tell you which laws it doesn't break? Because there's like 143 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: twenty thousands of them. 144 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 5: I think they need to be pretty careful about a 145 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 5: matter as sensitive as this. We know what happened in Christ. 146 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 5: This is something I mean, we've already had a city 147 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 5: councilor say that she thinks this would written to make 148 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 5: people angry. Now I'm not saying that, but that's an 149 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 5: opinion that's out. 150 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: It's written to make people angry. You're not the angry police, 151 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: are you? 152 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 5: You're posting No, we're not the angry police. No, No, 153 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 5: where the police. We want to deliver something if the 154 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 5: company can can can convince us that it is legal, 155 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 5: And the company couldn't convince us it was legal. Why 156 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 5: we have post delivering something that may not be legal. 157 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: I struggle to believe how many posters you got on Willington. 158 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 5: Forty or so. 159 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: I struggle to believe that forty posters have come to 160 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: this conclusion by themselves. You're putting them up to this, 161 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: aren't you, as the union. 162 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 5: Are not at all? It's the posters that came to us, 163 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 5: and I stood aside from a group of posts, discussion 164 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 5: came to you. What were they believe it enough? A 165 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 5: couple of his posters came a couple of them. 166 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: Suddenly forty don't want to deliver it. 167 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 5: That's correct, Yeah, are concerned.

Way you people have written this is designed 203 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: to make people angry, isn't it. 204 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 7: No, No, No. What we've done is highlighted the ideological 205 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 7: nature of this council, and we've exposed the dichotomy between 206 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 7: fiscal responsibility and ideology. So these guys that council keep 207 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 7: middling and social justice and culture wars when we really 208 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 7: want to take it down and thespect. 209 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 3: I take your point, but you can do it by 210 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: playing with a straight bat. And it's not all together straight, 211 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: is it. 212 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 7: We're had counselors that have seen that and said that 213 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 7: that's exactly what's happening, that it's the worst. 214 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 3: It's the worst possible scenario. 215 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 7: Well, no, it only says six miles to broadcast the 216 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 7: Islamic cause. 217 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: Are across two because I only know of one. 218 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 7: No, I'm not sure the inform all we're taking is 219 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 7: the information that's either in the media or put out 220 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 7: by counsel. So that's not correct. Council should correct us 221 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 7: and tell us what they are doing. 222 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: I mean the problem is boys. I take Look, I 223 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: take John's point as ridiculous as I think this union 224 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: is being. I take John's point that the way that 225 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: it's written, it sounds like the council wants this to happen, 226 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 3: and that's not strictly true. It's a couple of counselors 227 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: who potentially maybe wanted to happen, not the entire council. 228 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 7: Well why are they investigating it and getting their council 229 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 7: staff to promulgate it through with their investigation? 230 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, because the two counselors wanted to happen. Ah, anyway, 231 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 3: who would you guys, maybe I don't know, twink it 232 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: out so that they can post it. 233 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 7: Well, hopefully we'll get some more people donating to Better 234 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 7: Wellington and then of course we can do another patslet 235 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 7: and the Wellington City Council will make perfectly clear their 236 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 7: stance on these issues and they can show a bit 237 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 7: of fiscal responsibility and maybe get our rates down of it. 238 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know what, I'm with you on that, 239 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 3: at least.

Listen to 319 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: this though, six to twenty six past four. By the way, 320 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: do you want to know what the biggest one hit 321 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 3: wonder in the history of the world is? Wait for it, 322 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 3: This song. 323 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: Sucks a. 324 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: That song is called Jenny Jenny. It's actually, well, more accurately, 325 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: it's called eight six seven five three oh nine Jenny 326 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: Jenny by Tommy twotone who know's ever heard of because 327 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 3: it sucks disappointing because it's actually not that greatest song 328 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: and actually not even really that popular. But there is 329 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 3: a science to how they figured out that it's the 330 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: greatest one hit wonder in the history of the world. Basically, 331 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: what they do is they look at the gap between 332 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: the one hit wonder and the next biggest song by 333 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: the same artist, right, And they've got a little formula. 334 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 3: They do this on Spotify streams. So if the first 335 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: song has one hundred streams and then the second strong 336 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: second song has let's say ten streams, then the second 337 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: song is only a tenth as popular. It has a 338 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 3: secondary success rate of ten percent. If the first one 339 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 3: has one hundred streams and the second one has five streams, 340 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 3: then it's a secondary success rate of five percent, and 341 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 3: so on and so on and so on. What you 342 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: want is the smallest secondary success rate. So Jenny Jenny 343 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 3: has more than one hundred and nine million streams, his 344 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: second song, White Flag only has eleven thousand streams. He's 345 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: got the biggest secondary success rate out there with the smallest, actually, 346 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 3: zero point zero one percent. It's tiny. It truly is 347 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 3: a one hit wonder. But because it sucks, because nobody 348 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 3: even likes that song, we're not gonna go with that one. 349 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 3: Let me tell you about the second on the list, 350 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 3: Absolute banger Michael Simballow second song Automatic Man, nobody's ever 351 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: heard of before? Who cares? It had a secondary success 352 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 3: rate of zero point zero eight percent this song? What evidence? 353 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: What have you come on? You'll ever play that again? 354 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: No? 355 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: That's not no. Oh, answers completely in a shambles. Anyway, 356 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: should we Okay, we'll play Maniac again later because we 357 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: can't just there? 358 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: We are? 359 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 3: How good? One of the greatest bangers of all time? Anyway, 360 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: I'll give you some more later on a Headline's. 361 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: Next hard questions, strong opinion, ever duper see Alan drive 362 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: with one New Zealand let's get connected and used talk 363 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: as it'd. 364 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: Be n love me. 365 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 10: The scene so you can see all these. 366 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: Take bit of a revelation in the Pulkinghorn trial this afternoon. 367 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: It turns out that Pauline Hannah, his wife who he 368 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 3: is accused of murdering, I started typing a message on 369 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 3: her phone at four am the day that she died, 370 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 3: but she didn't send it. It was to him and one 371 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 3: other person, and that person is suppressed. We don't know 372 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 3: who that is. But she started typing it and then 373 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 3: she never sent it. And this seems to be of 374 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 3: some significance in the timeline of what was happening. So 375 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 3: Chelsea Daniels, who's been sitting through court for us for 376 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 3: the whole period. Will be with us around about let's 377 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: say quarter past four, and she'll talk us through the details. 378 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 3: We're going to talk to Sam Emory out of Australia 379 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: very shortly. A barrisoper standing by with politics, Heather, it 380 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 3: should be Rick Astley's never going to give you up? 381 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: Hold on? Hold on? Is that even on the Is 382 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 3: that even on the top twenty hold on just having 383 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 3: a look for you. No, no, it doesn't even make 384 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 3: the top twenty one hit wonder bangers in the history 385 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: of the world. You wait till you hear the rest, 386 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: and there's some absolute doozies on there hither you know 387 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 3: how this gas exploration thing is going to go. A 388 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: useless chippy will not make the change, but you'll get 389 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 3: ousted from the leadership of the Labor Party and then 390 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 3: the next leader, most likely Kieren macnolty, will step in 391 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 3: and agree not to repeal it. If action demo, you 392 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: may be onto something there and I think this is 393 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 3: the only way out for the Labor Party. However, what 394 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: I will say to you is Kieran is a lot 395 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 3: more left wing than you think he is. Like he 396 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 3: looks like a farmer and talks like a farmer and 397 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 3: swears like a farmer. But boy, oh boy, that man 398 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 3: could be in a union twenty two away from five. 399 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: It's the world wires on newstalks, they'd be drive. 400 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: The United Nations has paused its AID operations in Gaza 401 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 3: on Ra staff have been ordered by Israel to evacuate 402 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: the areas that they were operating from, and they say 403 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 3: they can't deliver aid until they find somewhere else to go, 404 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 3: and a spokesperson for them says israel defense forces are 405 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 3: making it almost impossible for them to do their job. 406 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 11: The space that people have been confined to is so minimal. 407 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 12: There are tanks in areas. 408 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: That used to be designated as safe areas, and this 409 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 3: is just another testament to that being nowhere safe in 410 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 3: the Gaza strip will nowhere to go. Russia has launched 411 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 3: a major air attack on cities across the whole of Ukraine. 412 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 3: At least seven people have been confirmed dead. Vladimir Zelenski, 413 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 3: the Ukrainian president, says the attack wouldn't have done so 414 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 3: much damage if Ukraine's allies had helped with air defense. 415 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 3: We could have done more in order to protect life. 416 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: If aircraft of our European neighbors, had worked together with 417 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: our F sixteen jats and air defense. 418 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 3: And finally he want me out to the ball game. 419 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 3: So I'm sort of bit of a first. Danny Jansen 420 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 3: has become the first player in history to play for 421 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 3: both teams in the same Major League Baseball game. He 422 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: was a Toronto Blue Blue Jay sorry in June, and 423 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 3: then he played in their match against the Boxton Red Sox, 424 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: a Boston Red Sox which was postponed part way through 425 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 3: because of rain. But the next day Danny was traded 426 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: to the Red Sox, so when the match started up 427 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 3: again yesterday, he was playing against his own teammates. The 428 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 3: Blue Jays won four to one, so I guess Danny 429 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 3: won and lost. 430 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance. 431 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: Peace of mind for New Zealand business. 432 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 3: Sam Imriy is with us out of Australia. High knight, 433 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 3: half noon, Heather. So the construction workers have gone on strike, 434 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 3: have they? 435 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 13: Yes, Heather, they certainly have. In fact, it's one of 436 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 13: the biggest unions in Australia, boasting over one hundred and 437 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 13: fifteen thousand members. It's pretty much the main trade union 438 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 13: in Australia for the building, construction, shipping, and several other 439 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 13: manufacturing industries, and at eleven o'clock this morning, they downed 440 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 13: tools and walked off their jobs. So protesting this decision 441 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 13: to put the construction branch into administration last week following 442 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 13: some pretty big allegations and well known allegations of bullying, 443 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 13: corruption and criminal infiltration. Heather this building industry leaders are 444 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 13: worried about the potential for more action obviously in the 445 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 13: week's coming, and they're urging authorities to keep a close 446 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 13: watch on what happens. Thousands gathered in Sydney CBD this morning, 447 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 13: some of them traveling well over two hours from places 448 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 13: like a Newcastle to get there. In fact, it's so 449 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 13: big that the police are asking Cap City locals to 450 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 13: be patient and allow extra travel time. The Victorian Premiere 451 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 13: has come out saying that they're going to work with 452 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 13: the companies that are running these major projects to try 453 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 13: and deal with any of these impacts from the rallies. 454 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 13: The arm Budsman's come out warning that they'll be monitoring 455 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 13: these protests for any illegal industrial action, and just recently 456 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 13: Heather the PM weighed in as well with Albout warning 457 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 13: that there may be consequences for construction workers who strike today. 458 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 13: So for an industry that was very much on it's 459 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 13: on shaky legs already, it's going to be one to 460 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 13: watch and we'll see what the fallout will be. 461 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: What do you take from the construction workers going out 462 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 3: on strike? Does this say that they are unconcerned by 463 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 3: the allegations against the union or that they do not 464 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 3: believe them. 465 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 13: I think they're calling for more of a fair inquiry 466 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 13: into this rather than pulling it straight into administration. They're 467 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 13: saying that it's been too much of a heavy hand 468 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 13: from the government to sort of to pull them straight 469 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 13: into administration. That it obviously shows that they're fairly confident 470 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 13: that nothing wrong. 471 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 14: Has gone on. 472 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 13: But I think it's more a way of showing solidarity 473 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 13: more so than maybe whether or not they believe whether 474 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 13: it's the allegations are true. 475 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: Okay, Now, this situation with the airbnbs is fascinating. So 476 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: do you think that any counsels in Victoria are actually 477 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 3: going to block airbnbs? 478 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 13: Well, it's interesting, isn't Heather, Because if they do block them, 479 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 13: then what and what are you know, how do they 480 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 13: actually sort of enforce that and how do they then 481 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 13: make sure that it continues to happen. I mean, there 482 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 13: are forty eight thousand Victorian homes on Airbnb, for example, 483 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 13: and the Green say it's an investment. It's that investment 484 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 13: bottleneck that's obviously pushing the property prices up because it's 485 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 13: locking out buyers and renters. But the opposition is saying, no, 486 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 13: that's not the problem. You should be actually supporting the investors, 487 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 13: you know, giving them incentives to try and lower their 488 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 13: rent and make their properties more available. 489 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 14: You know. 490 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 13: It's really sort of it's hard to know how they 491 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 13: could actually police this heather, you know. But at the 492 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 13: same time, we do know that we are in one 493 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 13: of the biggest housing crisises that Australia's seen. People are 494 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 13: forgoing medicine and food to pay their rent, you know. 495 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 13: I'm certainly in that group here in Sydney at the moment. 496 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 13: You know, it's very difficult if you've got kids in 497 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 13: school and everything to try and have enough money to 498 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 13: have the bare necessities that we all think we should have. 499 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 13: So the reforms are due to come before Parliament this week. 500 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 13: I'm sure everyone will in Australia will be watching this 501 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 13: to see a if it gets up and then how 502 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 13: it goes once it's actually in play. 503 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, food point. I mean, I suppose it's pretty tough 504 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 3: and you want to blame someone, don't you.

Was a sixteen year old near Melbourne school 514 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 15: around nine o'clock, so it would have been very busy, 515 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 15: and he tried to flee the scene. But little did 516 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 15: he know, Heather, that a very fast paced, middle aged 517 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 15: and most importantly, very fit professional football coach was hot 518 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 15: in his heels. 519 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, being on foot 520 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: like this guy struck it unlucky to have an AFL 521 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 3: coach chasing crick didn't he he really had? 522 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 12: Yeah? 523 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 13: He really went because the cafe owners and he tried 524 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 13: to actually chase him down himself, but he said, next thing, 525 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 13: you know, boss, he just went straight past him because 526 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 13: he obviously had a bit of pay. 527 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 3: Still good from her mate, Thank you very much. Sam 528 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 3: really appreciated Sammy Marie the Australia correspondent Right, Barry soap 529 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 3: is going to be us next on politics sixteen Away 530 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 3: from five. 531 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 2: Politics was centrics credit, check your customers and get payments Certainty. 532 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 3: Barry Soper, Senior Political correspondence with US. Hey barring, good afternoon. 533 00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: Do you reckon labor softening at stance on this? 534 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 16: While there was an interesting exchange in the house this afternoon. No, 535 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 16: the listeners can probably read what they will into it. 536 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 16: But there is in terms of security that any investor 537 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 16: in this country has to have. And a point that 538 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 16: was made by the offshore wind developer Blue Float Energy 539 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 16: then New Zealand manager Nathan Turner. He said that New Zealand, 540 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 16: if it wants to encourage investment, it needs a bipartisan 541 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 16: energy plan. Now that's been said time and time again 542 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 16: in Parliament now as he said that frequent changes and 543 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 16: policy from one election to another is certainly not helpful 544 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 16: to encourage investment into this country. Well, Resources Minister Shane 545 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 16: Jones was again at his lyrical best in Parliament this afternoon, 546 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 16: but did get I think something of an undertaking from 547 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 16: Chris Sipkins that any contract entered into by this government 548 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 16: will be honored by a government led by him. 549 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 17: Listen, well, what is happening with this House that the 550 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 17: beauty of language and robust expressions suddenly are turning the 551 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 17: other side into sobs. It is a very bleak day 552 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 17: that members of this House feel they have the right 553 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 17: to threaten and further undermine sovereign risk of investment. 554 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 18: There has been no claim on this side of the 555 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 18: House that we would cancel contracts already entered into. 556 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 3: So odd on that's not true though, Well, no, it's 557 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 3: not what's going One of their mp was Rachel Brooking 558 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 3: Well said that they would do that. 559 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 16: It's not only her, there was the Greens. They will 560 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 16: be part of any future coalition government and they've vehemently 561 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 16: opposed to any certainly lifting of the oil and gas band. 562 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 16: But any contract I would imagine being honored beyond that. 563 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 16: So and James Shaw. Last November he was saying that 564 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 16: even if there was a viable fine, production is unlikely 565 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 16: to begin in three the three years of this government, 566 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 16: six or even years and after that who knows. So 567 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 16: they're still muddying the water the greens. But I think 568 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 16: certainly maybe Chris Hopkins has moved towards well, maybe giving 569 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 16: the investors a better steer. 570 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 3: Where they may have some wiggle room. Is that Rachel Brooking, 571 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 3: who's the environment spokesperson, did not say that they would 572 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 3: revoke consents as far as I can see. She said 573 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 3: that they would consider that and that there would be 574 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 3: on a case by case basis. So she left the 575 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 3: door open, which is basically like close enough for. 576 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 16: Hawkins is basically saying any contract that entered into will 577 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 16: be hon. 578 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 3: It all interesting stuff. Hey, so Shane Jones, do you 579 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: remember he labeled that High Court judge of communists? 580 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 16: He's been a busy boy in part Yeah, yeah. 581 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 3: Twist in this story, isn't it? 582 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 16: Well, it's interesting because the High Court judge question is 583 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 16: just Justice Sheryl Gwynn. Now she recently awarded the customary 584 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 16: title to Mali, and that's caused all sorts of problem 585 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 16: At the moment that Jones said he couldn't remember the 586 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 16: context of what he said when he initially called her 587 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 16: a communist, but he said political rhetoric that goes without 588 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 16: saying politicians do that. But in the House, Chris Luxen 589 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 16: faced questions from Chris Sipkins over the independence of the 590 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 16: judiciary from Parliament to where the Jones comments were inappropriate. 591 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 18: Jane Jones renewed as attacks last week, calling a High 592 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 18: Court judge a communist. 593 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 19: Matter of fact, you'd have to ask the minister about that, 594 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 19: but what I'd say is that he was being descriptive, 595 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 19: not critical. 596 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 18: Is it acceptable for a minister in his government to 597 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 18: describe a judge as a communist? 598 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 19: The comments are descriptive, not critical. That's exactly what has 599 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 19: happens on the public record. They may not have been 600 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 19: the words that I'd use, but he's perfectly free to 601 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 19: do so. 602 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: As the Prime Minister. 603 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 19: Surprised that the leader of the Labor Party believes communist 604 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 19: is a critical term. 605 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 16: Yeah, Well, the fact is that Justice Quinn once belonged 606 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 16: to the Socialist Action League. I've looked that up. That 607 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 16: particular league. It renamed itself in the late eighties to 608 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 16: the Communist League. She had been a member of it, 609 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 16: and she was appointed to the High Bench by David 610 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 16: Parker in twenty nineteen. But the irony in all of 611 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 16: this story here that to me is that she was 612 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 16: also appointed as an Inspected General of Intelligence and Security. 613 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 16: So the head spy in this country as a communist 614 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 16: in two thousand was a communist. Oh how good is that? 615 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 16: But that was appointed by the NATS of course, so 616 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 16: you know, she's had an interesting career. 617 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 3: So Shane Jones gets away with that one because it 618 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 3: was as a statement of facts. He does as you 619 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 3: liking Phase two of the COVID inquiry. 620 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 16: Well, it's interesting, isn't it, because we're not through phase 621 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 16: one yet. That'll finish in November when Tony Blakeley, who 622 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 16: the instrum marks raised over the epidemiologists in Australia. They'll 623 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 16: finish up and then the new loss what happened, So 624 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 16: you're going to have to me it's going to be 625 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 16: quite interesting, two quite separate reports, and the terms of 626 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 16: reference for the second phase could be much more critical 627 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 16: of the government than. 628 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 3: The first, the former government. 629 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 16: The former government. 630 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 3: Yes, I suspect that's exactly what's going to happen. Barry, 631 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 3: Thank you always appreciated, Barry so, but seeing your political 632 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 3: correspondent eight away from five. 633 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 2: Digging into the issues that affect you the mic Hosking breakfast. 634 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 9: Heaven forbid. 635 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 19: You should make up your own mind as to how 636 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 19: you're employed and what the rules of engagement are. 637 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 4: Were you courts to do that? 638 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 9: And when you you need to look after you? 639 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 18: Apparently, if I decide to do something, that's my choice, 640 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 18: isn't it. 641 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: Well not a New Zealand law. 642 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, if they said this afternoon, go how quickly could 643 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 3: you make it happen? 644 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 20: I think our part of the physical infrastructure is actually 645 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 20: relatively straightforward. 646 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 2: Back tomorrow at six am the mic Hosking with the 647 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 2: rain driver the Lahne News talk z B. 648 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 3: Hey, Chippy's with us after five, so he's gonna be 649 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: with us in about twelve minutes time.

I'm only going to 672 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 3: give you the top ten because after that it dies away. 673 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 3: A Number nine is White Town, You're Woman, And number 674 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: ten is an absolute banger that's a bit in nineteen 675 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 3: eighties sacks coming at you. 676 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 21: Isn't It makes you want to pot on your your 677 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 21: shoulder pads and your shiny gray suit, your weird tie. 678 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 3: Boy meets Girl who even knew that that's what the 679 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 3: band was called? Boy meets Girl waiting for a starter 680 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 3: for and by the way, the eighties are the best, 681 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 3: the best decade for one hit wonders. Something happened, something 682 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 3: was in the water in the eighties and everybody just 683 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 3: started writing one good song, nothing else, just the one. 684 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: And also, oh, this is going to make you feel old. 685 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 3: In six years time, it's going to be twenty thirty. 686 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: And in six years time the eighties are going to 687 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 3: be fifty years old. Fifty years old. Absolute Dinosaur. 688 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 22: Enjoy the only drive show you can trust to ask 689 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 22: the questions, get the answers, by the facts, and give 690 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 22: the analysis. 691 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: Together due to Clan Drive. 692 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 2: With one New Zealand, let's get connected and news talk 693 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 2: as they'd be. 694 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 3: Afternoon. The government's calling on Labor Party to support what 695 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 3: they're trying to do to fix the electricity sector, including 696 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 3: bringing back oil and gas exploration. Now, the reason that 697 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 3: this is important is because as long as the Labor 698 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 3: Party threatens to bring that band back when they're back 699 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 3: in government. The industry will not come back. Chris Hopkins 700 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 3: is the labor leader and with us now, sure, how 701 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 3: are you and well, thank you very much. Are you 702 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 3: going to bring the band back? 703 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 23: Oh, we've said that we're opposed to the removal of 704 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 23: the oil and gas that you know, the band on 705 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 23: new oil and gas exploration offshore, and we would reinstate 706 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 23: that again. We've got an abundance of renewable electricity opportunities 707 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 23: in New Zealand. There's literally thousands of megawatts of our 708 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 23: new renewable electricity generation already consented. We should be building 709 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 23: that now and we wouldn't have an energy shortage. 710 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're not building it right, So we need 711 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 3: the gas, don't we? Do you accept that we need 712 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 3: the games? 713 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 23: But Huntly is actually, if you talk to the people 714 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 23: building renewable at the electricity I'll say that the burning 715 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 23: of fossil fuels is one of the things that disincentivizes 716 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 23: the investment of renewables. So what you got to do 717 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 23: is you've got to ask the question, if there's thousands 718 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 23: of megawatts already of renewable electricity consented that could be 719 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 23: built faster than thermal you know, faster than gas side stuff. 720 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 23: Why isn't the market building it now? 721 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 3: What do we do, though, Chippy? 722 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 23: Because the market's broken, The market's prioritizing. So when Huntley 723 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 23: charges those exorbitant prices for peak electricity, what that does 724 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 23: is it actually drives drives out the incentives to build 725 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 23: new renewable electricity. It's distorting the market. So we need 726 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 23: to be making sure that we're dealing with that problem 727 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 23: because the electric if you're if you're operating Huntly, your 728 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 23: incentive is to just maximize the profit. The way the 729 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 23: market works at the moment, that the problem. 730 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 3: If people were in government for six years, why didn't 731 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 3: you see that the stuff was being built? 732 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 23: Well, if you look at it, there's actually been a 733 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,959 Speaker 23: big increase in the last couple of years. But we're 734 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 23: making up for the fact that for about ten years 735 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 23: the market wasn't building. Now it has started building. 736 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 7: In the life. 737 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 23: When did it start in the last couple of In 738 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 23: the last couple of years, the last two years or so, 739 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 23: there's actually been a big upswing in the in the 740 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 23: amount of new renewable electricity generation coming on stream. 741 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 3: And what did you do to make them build it? 742 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 23: Well, one of the things we were doing was making 743 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 23: sure that it was consented, and you know there's thousands 744 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 23: of megwats of it that has been consented. But actually 745 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 23: that will don't guess bad that the signals that the 746 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 23: government was sending and saying we don't think that fossil 747 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 23: fuels are the answer, actually helped to give the market 748 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 23: certainty to invest in the renewable electricity generation. What this 749 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 23: government is doing is by saying that they're going to 750 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 23: go back to oil and gas, they're actually saying to 751 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 23: renewable electricity producers that they don't think that that's the 752 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 23: way of the future. And I think that's in the 753 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 23: market the wrong signals. 754 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 3: So what do we do when the sun doesn't shine 755 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,439 Speaker 3: and the wind doesn't blow and we haven't got enough 756 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: water in the dams at that point, we need fossil fuels, 757 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 3: don't we Well, no. 758 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 23: Not necessarily. 759 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 3: What would we do? 760 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 23: The question, well, the question becomes how you store it, 761 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 23: and how you use electricity. 762 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 3: Enhancement and how do you store it? 763 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 23: And you can do we can do things like pump hydro. 764 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 3: The current government, are you talking about that stupid like 765 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 3: onslow idea? 766 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 23: Again, Lake Consol was one variant of pump hydro, but 767 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 23: pump hydro is actually used quite commonly around. 768 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 3: The world as. 769 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 23: The way of storing electricity. 770 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 3: This is not listen. I mean, this is so frustrating 771 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 3: because it's like the last six years didn't happen. Did 772 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 3: you not listen to the industry who said that when 773 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 3: you guys suggested an idea as dumb, as like as 774 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 3: lake onslow, that is what stopped people building any more. 775 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 23: Generation When when you're talking about people in the industry 776 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,760 Speaker 23: saying that you're talking about the generation retailers, Yeah, who don't. 777 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 23: They don't like the idea of some kind of battery, 778 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 23: which is what on is one of the options to 779 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 23: achieve battery. They don't like that because they want to 780 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 23: come on, men, bill profits. 781 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 3: You cannot tell me you are. 782 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 23: Always going to argue in favor of making bigger profits 783 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 23: over increasing supplies. 784 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 3: That's fine. Might agree on that, right, we may agree 785 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 3: on that, but it's not going to change the fundamentals 786 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 3: of how this market works. You cannot tell me that 787 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 3: you guys, when you're re elected, are going to go 788 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 3: on and do exactly the same thing that you did 789 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 3: last time and just put us back in this hole again, 790 00:37:59,520 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 3: is that what you. 791 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 23: Can to do when you're asking different questions, you're asking 792 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,800 Speaker 23: what the alternatives are to using gas as a peak 793 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 23: electricity source. And what I'm saying is we need more 794 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 23: energy storage in New Zealand. Onslow is only one of 795 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 23: the ways that we can achieve that. There are other 796 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 23: ways of achieving that. PRIORROI, even on a smaller scale, 797 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 23: is one of the ways that you could look at 798 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 23: achieving that. There are a range of other options. Gus 799 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 23: thermal has more potential to act as a peak electricity source, 800 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 23: and we haven't explored the potential for it. 801 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 3: To do that. 802 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 23: And that's a much better alternative than gas because you 803 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 23: can capture the carbon probit and it's not astene, it 804 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 23: doesn't damage our climate change targets as much. So you know, ultimately, 805 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 23: the problem that we've got now is that the market 806 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 23: has prioritized dividends and profits, and we're talking about billions 807 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 23: and billions and billions of dollars over investing in a 808 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 23: new generation because profits better for them to. 809 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 14: Supply. 810 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 23: No, it's not because if you increase supply, you lower 811 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 23: the price. They don't want to lower the project. I 812 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 23: don't want to constrained supply because they makes up my profit. 813 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 3: You know that there are businesses closing because of what 814 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 3: you guys did when you were in government, and you're 815 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 3: basically at the moment, by not wanting to back away 816 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 3: from this band, you're basically putting the climate ahead of 817 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 3: these jobs. 818 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 23: Perhaps ally absolute bocks no better than that. The reason 819 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 23: that we have a shortage of gas is because for 820 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 23: the last twenty odd years we haven't found any. 821 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 3: That's not true. That's true, Chris, Chris in twenty twenty, true, 822 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 3: Chris in twenty twenty. OMV found gas at Twutui, that's 823 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 3: four years. 824 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 23: Ago, and they found that it was economics to extract it. 825 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 3: They haven't even had a proper look at. 826 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 23: It commercially, They didn't find a commercial. 827 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 3: Inspiable Gay said, and you can tell me if this 828 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 3: situation has changed. But they said it was a significant discovery. 829 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 23: So they had the permit, they could have drilled it. 830 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 23: They chose not to because they decided it wasn't commission. 831 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:53,479 Speaker 4: They chose. 832 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 3: You know why, it's not commercially viable because you people 833 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 3: banned oil and gas exploration. That's why it's not commercially bible. 834 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 3: Because you people put one hundred percent renewable target on 835 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 3: our electricity market. 836 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,479 Speaker 23: That's not that's a ridiculous fact. 837 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 3: That is exact fact. 838 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 23: That is what they're any existing pyramids. We didn't cancel 839 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 23: any existing moment. 840 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 3: You did, who have those chrisps? But then in conjuncture. 841 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 23: Them and development, they chose not to. 842 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 3: Chris, in conjunction with the band, you also then set 843 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 3: a target of one hundred percent renewable electricity, right, which 844 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 3: means we were going to phase our gas. So why 845 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 3: would they get the gas out of there? 846 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 23: I mean, ultimately, what's your offensive? Two hundred percent? One 847 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 23: hundred percent renewable is what we're going to have to 848 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 23: do meet the climate to the equipments that the previous 849 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 23: national government signed us up. 850 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 3: There, you go right there, you've put climate ahead of 851 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 3: jobs revenue. 852 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 23: Well, I mean, how many times we're going to have 853 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 23: if we don't takele climate change and the planet becomes onliver? 854 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 3: How many jobs we're going to have if you keep 855 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 3: on going down this path and trying to run us 856 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 3: into the ground into some third world electricity status. 857 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 23: Well, running us into the ground will mean it'd be 858 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 23: more in climate change. 859 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 3: Chris, tell me this right now. No, Chris, I don't 860 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 3: want to make assumptions here because of this. Tell me 861 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 3: this right now, what's more important to you those two 862 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,760 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty jobs at Winstone or the climate both. 863 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 3: You can't have both, mates. You just told me you 864 00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 3: can't have both, So which one do you want? 865 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,399 Speaker 23: Why were many of those big plants Many of those 866 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 23: big industrial plants were built where they were built because 867 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 23: they were located near to renewable electricity sources. The pro 868 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 23: problem is the market's now become so distorted that that 869 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 23: renewable electricity isn't providing them with the check electricity that 870 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 23: they've had previously because of the way the peak market's working. 871 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 23: It's the market. There's a market failing here, but there 872 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 23: is a debundance of renewable electricity. 873 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 3: Thank you for coming on the show. I always appreciate 874 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 3: having a chat to you. Chris.

So if you'd like to 895 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 3: learn more about joining New Zealand's most reliable mobile network, 896 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 3: jump online and visit one dot enz. 897 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: Ever duplus Alan. 898 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 3: I'm going to get to your text on Chris Hapkins 899 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 3: shortly right now. It's nineteen past five. Got to go 900 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 3: to the murder trial of phil Philip Pulkinghorn. He is 901 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 3: accused of murdering her. He says this is his wife, 902 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 3: Pauline Hannah. He says she took her own life. Chelsea 903 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 3: Daniels has covering the trial and with us. Now, Hey, Chelse, 904 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 3: I am a lot of messaging between Hannah and Polkinghorn. 905 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 3: What have we learned from that? 906 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:02,439 Speaker 4: Yeah? 907 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 24: So, defense lawyer Ron Mansfield question detective Reeves he was 908 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,359 Speaker 24: in charge of looking at their phones and other tech. 909 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 24: He said, does seven plus formal written statements to assist 910 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 24: the jury that traversus Polkinghorn's relationship with Ashton? That's how 911 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 24: many he wrote? But did he review her work related 912 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 24: email history or the messaging between the husband and wife. 913 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: I did review the messages. 914 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 9: I looked at them. I didn't create a detailed report 915 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:31,360 Speaker 9: on it. 916 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,280 Speaker 1: Bye. 917 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 18: Was that because the messages didn't support the police narrative. 918 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 11: As I said, the messages were normal day to day messages. 919 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 2: Or did those messages reveal a working, loving relationship between 920 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 2: the two of them? 921 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 24: So Mansfield produces a booklet of messages beginning twenty first 922 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 24: of February twenty twenty, runs through the messages sent back 923 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 24: and forth between the couple. Lots of ex'es, darlings, and 924 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 24: heart emojis, other emojis. A further messaging show the pair 925 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 24: checking in on each other asking how they are. Did 926 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 24: these messages suggest a working, loving relationship, asks Manfield and Mansfield, 927 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 24: and Reeves said they did, and he didn't see any 928 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,919 Speaker 24: evidence of a conflict between the pair. 929 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 3: And we had a little bit of a bombshell this 930 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 3: afternoon from the defense, right. 931 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 932 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 24: So Mansfield produces another exhibit, a timeline for Hannah's phone 933 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 24: usage for the early morning of April fifth, twenty twenty one, 934 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 24: the morning of her death. Mansfield goes through what apparently 935 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 24: happens when someone uses I message. When you start typing, 936 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 24: the app connects and logs activity, even if you didn't 937 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 24: send the message. There's a log entry for around four am. 938 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,359 Speaker 24: It appears Hannah's phone was logged drafting a message on 939 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,959 Speaker 24: the morning of her death to Philip Polkinghorn. Minutes later 940 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 24: another draft message to a friend's daughter. Neither of them 941 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 24: sent The trial can news tomorrow interesting? 942 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 3: Hey, Chelsea, thank you very much, really appreciate it. If 943 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 3: you want to hear more, listen to Chelsea Daniel's podcast. 944 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 3: It's called Accused the Polkinghorn Trial. It's twenty one past five. 945 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 2: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's hither duper c 946 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 2: Allen Drive with one New Zealand. 947 00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,720 Speaker 1: Let's get connected and new stalks. 948 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 3: That'd be yeah, we'll get to the chippy techs shortly 949 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 3: got a bit of a win for the cops. Today 950 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 3: they've got the Headhunter's pad in Mount Wellington actually got 951 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars worth of assets and property. It's a 952 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 3: decision at the High Court in Auckland today. Andrew Costa 953 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 3: is with us after the half past five. It's twenty 954 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 3: four past five at the moment. On this poster issue, look, 955 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 3: it is not the job of the posters to decide 956 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 3: what gets delivered or not. I'm sure that they've got 957 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 3: got goodness in their hearts, but this is not their job. 958 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 3: And I take their point. The way that the pamphlet 959 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,399 Speaker 3: and Wellington has written it is slightly misleading. It makes 960 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 3: it sound like Wellington City Council wants to let all 961 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 3: six mosques in the city play the call to prayer. 962 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 3: But the thing is it's not untrue. It's just a 963 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 3: little misleading, but it's not not untrue. Even the Postal 964 00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,879 Speaker 3: Union admits it's a point of There is a point 965 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 3: of truth here. The Wellington City Council is in fact 966 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 3: investigating the possibility of allowing mosques to play the call 967 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,880 Speaker 3: to prayer. Now, as far as we know, it's just 968 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 3: to kill Bernie mosque that wants to do it. We 969 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 3: don't know that all six want to do it. And 970 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 3: when we spoke to the mosque about it earlier, it's 971 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 3: not all the way across the city. It's just within 972 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 3: their grounds that they want to play the sound. And 973 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,760 Speaker 3: this is what makes this completely unacceptable from the postis 974 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 3: the pamphlet is not untrue. It's just catastrophizing the situation. 975 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 3: It's like a newspaper headline. They catastrophize things all the time. 976 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,000 Speaker 3: We still let the newspapers go out or like a 977 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 3: social media clickbait, it's always you know, hooks you in 978 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 3: with the worst case version of the situation. It's just 979 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 3: hyping the situation. So basically, what we've got got here 980 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 3: is a case of the posties now refusing to post 981 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 3: something because it's just a little too dramatic, unacceptable from them, 982 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 3: not their place to decide whether they post it or not. 983 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,800 Speaker 3: What if they suddenly take issue with pamphlets advertising alcohol 984 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 3: because a bunch of them don't like drinkers, don't want 985 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 3: to deliver that, or if they decide they've got a 986 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,840 Speaker 3: problem with Big Farmer, so there'll be no more pharmacy 987 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,440 Speaker 3: pamphlets going out, or they care all of a sudden 988 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 3: deeply about the climate, so no car advertising pamphlets are 989 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 3: going to go out. It's not their place to make 990 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 3: decisions like that, because once they start making those decisions, 991 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,720 Speaker 3: you can say it's a slippery slope into basically monitoring 992 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 3: what goes into your letterbox. I'm also really highly suspicious 993 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 3: of the fact that all of a sudden, forty posters 994 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 3: in the Wellington area decided individually that they all hated 995 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 3: this particular pamphlet for exactly the same reason. I don't 996 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 3: believe it. I believe the union's behind this year. A 997 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,399 Speaker 3: couple of the guys went to the union and said 998 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 3: it's a problem in the union basically made this a 999 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 3: bigger problem than it was, which begs the question, since 1000 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,799 Speaker 3: when did it become a union's job to monitor what 1001 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,439 Speaker 3: we're getting out of our letterbox? Last time I checked, 1002 00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 3: they were supposed to actually advocate for their employment of 1003 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 3: their members. That's their actual job. I would say that 1004 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 3: what they're doing right now is not helping the employment 1005 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 3: situation at all. 1006 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: Heather do for see Allen Hither that. 1007 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 3: Is why Chippy got spanked at the last election. Hither, 1008 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 3: I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'll give Chippy his jews. 1009 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 3: I reckon he held his home own way. That's fair. 1010 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,720 Speaker 3: Hither from the wife of a current method ex employer, 1011 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 3: I'm calling bs on that that was poor form from 1012 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,040 Speaker 3: Chippy here. The Chippy's not telling the truth. Beach Energy 1013 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 3: were two weeks away from drilling in the Southern Basin 1014 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 3: COVID hit and they weren't allowed to operat as an 1015 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 3: essential service. The rig sailed away, never to return. It 1016 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 3: could be bigger than Maui down there. Just another example 1017 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 3: of six years of wasted opportunity. That's from Travis Heither. 1018 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 3: Thank god Chippy's not the prime minister. They want to 1019 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,640 Speaker 3: run the business into the ground. Listen. I think as 1020 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 3: long as they hold onto the oil and gas band 1021 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 3: like they are at the moment, he is not going well. 1022 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 3: He's not going to be promised to anyway. Nobody in 1023 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 3: the Red team is going to be prime minister as 1024 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,760 Speaker 3: long as the span is there. I think his problem 1025 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,320 Speaker 3: came towards the end of the interview where he said 1026 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 3: we can't have gas because we need to meet our 1027 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 3: climate change commitments. We have to do one hundred percent renewable. 1028 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 3: And right there, he put the climate ahead of every 1029 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 3: single job that relies on gas in this country, and 1030 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,240 Speaker 3: there are a lot, and that can't be the worker 1031 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 3: of the party of the worker. Can you headlines? 1032 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 2: Next, the day's newsmakers talked to Heather First, Heather duper 1033 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 2: c Allen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected 1034 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 2: and new Talk zed Bean. 1035 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,399 Speaker 3: Hea that the new electric furnace at Glenbrook Steel Mill 1036 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 3: is going to be powered by diesel generators. Cool. That's fantastic. Yeah, 1037 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,280 Speaker 3: it's a good thing. We got rid of that gas 1038 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 3: a because it was causing so much damage. But the diesel, 1039 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 3: how good is that? And the coal? Honestly hippy where 1040 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 3: you're coming from, mate Huddles standing by and listen. I 1041 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 3: bring you a lot of stories about how much trouble 1042 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 3: the media sectors and we've got a good news one 1043 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 3: for you. After six o'clock. Bigs of the company that 1044 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 3: owns News Talk ZB has just reported and yeah, it's 1045 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 3: not going the way that all the others, all the 1046 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 3: TV guys are going with all the difficulties to stand 1047 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,319 Speaker 3: by and we'll deal with that. Twenty four away from 1048 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 3: six police have scored a big win against the gangs. 1049 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 3: Today they will seize fifteen million dollars worth of assets 1050 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 3: from the hea Hunters and that includes the gang's pad 1051 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 3: in Mount Wellington and some other properties. And this is 1052 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 3: after the High Court ruled and the police has favored. 1053 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 3: Today the Police Commissioner Andrew cost is with us. 1054 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 25: Now, Hey, Andrew, that's noon, Heather. 1055 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 3: Was this ever going to go any other way than 1056 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,479 Speaker 3: your way? 1057 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 25: Absolutely? The team has had a huge amount of work 1058 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:24,919 Speaker 25: to demonstrate the connection between the property mister Doyle as 1059 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 25: the president of the Headhunters and the unlawful activity. So 1060 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,320 Speaker 25: it's been a couple of years of very solid work 1061 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 25: by a small team on the financial part and then 1062 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 25: a much longer chain of investigations targeting the head Hunters 1063 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 25: for their criminal activity to provide the basis for that application. 1064 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,360 Speaker 3: Why was it important? Why was his role in the 1065 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 3: gang so important, whether he was the president or a 1066 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 3: senior member. 1067 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:56,439 Speaker 25: Well, the property was held by entities connected with him, 1068 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 25: and so we needed to demonstrate his role over the 1069 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 25: top of the Headhunter's criminal activities. For that property probably 1070 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 25: to be shown to be tainted by that offending, and 1071 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,080 Speaker 25: it was, and it shows that, you know, we will 1072 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,839 Speaker 25: persist until we can recover assets that are tained through 1073 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 25: criminal means. 1074 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 3: What are you going to do with it? 1075 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 25: It goes into the proceeds of prime fund, which is 1076 00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,720 Speaker 25: a fund that can be access. 1077 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,879 Speaker 3: I mean, are you going to sell the power crime? 1078 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,879 Speaker 25: Oh yeah, property it's disposed of and you know it's 1079 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,600 Speaker 25: a process that gets followed for that. So there's potential 1080 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,200 Speaker 25: of an appeal here. So there'll be a little bit 1081 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 25: of waters going under the bridge yet, but you know, 1082 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,359 Speaker 25: a great success for the team that's been doing the work. 1083 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 25: I'm incredibly crowd of there. 1084 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:48,319 Speaker 1: Do you reckon? 1085 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 3: Everybody's going to want to buy this pad? Because I 1086 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 3: remember some somewhere down south, maybe Tom Rule, something like this, 1087 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 3: maybe somewhere else, there was a pad that was going 1088 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,919 Speaker 3: to be sold in the gang called such trouble. Nobody 1089 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 3: wants to buy the linking thing. 1090 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 25: It's a commercial property and it looks a lot like 1091 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,799 Speaker 25: any others, but for the fact that it's been customized 1092 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,959 Speaker 25: in particular ways. So that's something that the officials sn 1093 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 25: will work through as they resolve it. But the point 1094 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,120 Speaker 25: here is this property is not going back to the gang, 1095 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,279 Speaker 25: and we've had a great one targeting a group that's 1096 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,360 Speaker 25: peddled a huge amount of misery into our community. 1097 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just going to set up somewhere else, though, aren't. 1098 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,840 Speaker 3: They're not going to give up, are they? 1099 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 25: Oh? Look, these gangs are very persistent. But when you 1100 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 25: lose money that's been accumulated over years and years, it 1101 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,880 Speaker 25: does hurt, and it does make a difference. And the 1102 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 25: point for us really is demonstrating that, you know, you 1103 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 25: can obtain profit this way, you're not going to be 1104 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 25: able to hold onto it. 1105 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,960 Speaker 3: Andrew your man in Auckland, I think it's Tony Wakelan 1106 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 3: is his name. He said he's told people off today 1107 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 3: for filming at that crash yesterday in State Highway one. 1108 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 3: Do you have a view on that? 1109 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,920 Speaker 25: Look, I think just because you can doesn't mean you should. 1110 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:05,400 Speaker 25: And in the end, you know, we're talking about people's lives, 1111 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 25: and people surely exercise some judgment about the kind of 1112 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 25: thing that we're going to post in the kind of 1113 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 25: thing we're not. I mean, people will make their own decisions. 1114 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 25: But you know, I think I think the message is 1115 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,239 Speaker 25: probably right, and I think most people would agree that 1116 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 25: that's not really the kind of thing that we want 1117 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 25: to see. 1118 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,160 Speaker 3: Are we're wasting our breath because it feels like the 1119 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 3: horse has bolted. Everybody's got a camera on their phones, 1120 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,000 Speaker 3: and everybody thinks it's really important to stick absolutely everything 1121 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 3: on social media. 1122 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,000 Speaker 25: Yes, they do. Look, I would like to think that 1123 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,560 Speaker 25: people can excise some judgment, and I think for the 1124 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 25: means of the public and the families who are deeply 1125 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 25: offended to see that, it's good for them to hear 1126 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,800 Speaker 25: from place that actually, hey, we don't think that's okay, 1127 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,040 Speaker 25: even if people are going to continue doing that. 1128 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 3: Andrew, thank you for your time. I appreciate this. Andrew Costa, 1129 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 3: the police commissioner. This is what Counties Manecow Road Policing 1130 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,800 Speaker 3: Manager Inspector Tony Wakeland said. 1131 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 9: Okay, can I just say I thought that was disgusting. 1132 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,080 Speaker 26: It really was. I mean I saw some of the footage. 1133 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,640 Speaker 26: It was filmed before emergency services arrived. There were close 1134 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 26: ups of people to cease in the van, an injured 1135 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 26: line on the road. As I say, I thought it 1136 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 26: was horrible, asaid a lot of my colleagues, that's not acceptable. 1137 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 26: You know, we should not be doing that, And I 1138 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,399 Speaker 26: say to the people that are filming that, how would 1139 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:16,440 Speaker 26: you feel if that's your family. 1140 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,359 Speaker 3: It's twenty away from six. 1141 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:23,399 Speaker 2: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's international realty, unparalleled reach 1142 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 2: and results. 1143 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 3: On the Huddle of Us, Ali Jones read pr and 1144 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,680 Speaker 3: Claire to lord journalist.

Who do you think you are? 1154 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,400 Speaker 27: Just because you can doesn't mean you should. 1155 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I suspect Claire, it's not going to stop. 1156 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 3: It's only it's just going to increase. The more access 1157 00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 3: we have to each other via the Internet and phones 1158 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 3: and stuff. This is the future. You've got to choose 1159 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:01,799 Speaker 3: what you look at. 1160 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 28: Well, you've got a wonderful sort of ethic, human decency. 1161 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 28: You have to live strength on that stuff. As I 1162 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 28: understand they were, it's just appalling. I mean, you wouldn't 1163 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,120 Speaker 28: think you'd have to poll people up for it, and 1164 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 28: I just don't know how you get through people. But 1165 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 28: when you come across and seem like that, it's not 1166 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 28: a reality show. It's actually the reality of grim death 1167 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 28: for the people who are involved. And you should if 1168 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 28: you can't help, you should move on. 1169 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair point. And now, Allie, do you think the 1170 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 3: posters have made the right call? 1171 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:33,359 Speaker 1: Here? 1172 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 3: Are the wrong call? 1173 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 28: This is fascinating, isn't it. 1174 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 27: I mean, look, the Union may not like this, and 1175 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,720 Speaker 27: I think this is all being driven by the union. 1176 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 28: Actually, I think it's politically driven. 1177 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 4: You know. 1178 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 27: I mean, unions are generally left. The Wellington City Council 1179 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,320 Speaker 27: is very less leaning. The leaflet is also anti council, 1180 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 27: critical of what they call over spending. I think that's 1181 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,439 Speaker 27: entirely political. What I'd be interested in is if there 1182 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 27: wasn't that, And I do think it's information either. I 1183 00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 27: don't think it's catastrophizing or using clickbait headlines like the 1184 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 27: media do. As you mentioned earlier, but if that information 1185 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 27: about the call, the Islamic call to prayer wasn't in 1186 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 27: this leaflet, would they still have come out and criticized it. 1187 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,520 Speaker 27: I think it's lucky there's something in there they can 1188 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 27: hang their criticism on. But look, I think they're right 1189 00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 27: for not delivering this because of that misinformation, but I 1190 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 27: do think it's politically driven. 1191 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,839 Speaker 3: Okay, So Elie explains me why you think it's misinformation. 1192 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 27: Well, my understanding is that there is a comment or 1193 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 27: something in that pamphlet that suggests that the City Council 1194 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 27: is going to allow this call to prayer, that there's 1195 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 27: going to be Islamic calls to prayer across all of Wellington, 1196 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,959 Speaker 27: and in fact, the council has come back and said 1197 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,919 Speaker 27: that they're actually looking at it within their district plan 1198 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 27: as to whether they can do that or not, that 1199 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 27: it's not a done deal. So to me, that's misinformation. 1200 00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 27: It's suggesting something that is not actually. 1201 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:03,600 Speaker 3: What the inflet says is the council wants to, but 1202 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 3: actually the council does to an extent want to because 1203 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:07,680 Speaker 3: it is investigating it. 1204 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,360 Speaker 27: No, that's not true that, No, that's conflating the issue. 1205 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,439 Speaker 27: Just because the council is looking at something doesn't mean 1206 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 27: that they want to. They're looking at it through their 1207 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 27: district plan to see if it can be done or not. 1208 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 23: That doesn't mean that they want. 1209 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,439 Speaker 3: To there are two councilors who want to die. I mean, look, look, 1210 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think it's borderline, but there 1211 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 3: is an element of truth to it. It's not a 1212 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 3: bald faced lie, is it. It's just slightly wrong. 1213 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 27: No, but it's missive well slightly wrong. 1214 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:37,920 Speaker 3: It's like you can have it's just catastrophizing what the situation, 1215 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 3: that's all it is. 1216 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 27: No, it's misinformation. What you're going to start talking about 1217 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 27: alternative facts as well? It is misinformation. 1218 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 28: So end of story. 1219 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 3: What do you think, Claire, At the end of. 1220 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 28: The story, and the main story is that the union 1221 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,439 Speaker 28: has all these or the officials have decided that they 1222 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:59,760 Speaker 28: will decide which contracted male they will deliver. Yeah, it's 1223 00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 28: not so much for them to decide the content in 1224 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 28: then Post has a responsibility when it agrees to take 1225 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 28: on something like us, to make sure that it's not 1226 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:15,240 Speaker 28: hateful or atlantical, slight terrorism or whatever. I mean, that's 1227 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,360 Speaker 28: the most extreme form you can think of where you 1228 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 28: could say we're not going to deliver it. But it's 1229 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 28: sort of for the post Is to actually be taking 1230 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 28: a position on this is I think quite disturbing. I 1231 00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 28: think MLS will say, you know, mind your own business 1232 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:32,959 Speaker 28: and the post thought it out. 1233 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair point, All right, guys, we'll take a break, 1234 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,560 Speaker 3: come back and just a just a tack, actually a quarter. 1235 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 2: To the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty exceptional 1236 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 2: marketing for every property, and. 1237 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 3: Back to the huddle. We have clear de lawd Journalist 1238 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:49,360 Speaker 3: Ali Jones read pr Claire. Do you think that that 1239 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 3: Labour is going to be able to hold this line 1240 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 3: on the oil and gas van all the way through 1241 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:53,840 Speaker 3: to the next election? 1242 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,080 Speaker 6: Oh? Who knows. I mean, that's an argument that sort 1243 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 6: of does my head. And really because we should have 1244 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 6: a long term bipartisan, multi party agreement on something as 1245 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 6: important as energy security, but we don't and we won't. 1246 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,720 Speaker 6: I think, you know, your interview with Chris Hopkins showed 1247 00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 6: that he's at the moment whethered to the very noble 1248 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 6: aspiration for us to be entirely sort of reliant on 1249 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 6: only on renewables. But the reality is that that just 1250 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 6: isn't possible in a short medium turn right now. So 1251 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 6: I would say that if he was still in charge 1252 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 6: going into the next election, and I doubt he would be, 1253 00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 6: that he would probably be ditching that position. 1254 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:39,960 Speaker 3: I'd say so too, and I think Alli he has to. 1255 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 3: He probably is going to be forced to ditch it 1256 00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 3: when we get our power bills renewed in April and 1257 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 3: it goes up massively and we start to see for 1258 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 3: ourselves how bad the situation is. 1259 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 28: What do you think, Yeah, I don't know. 1260 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 27: That's so far ahead in the future. I completely agree 1261 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 27: with what Claire is saying. And I heard Chris Hipkins 1262 00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 27: on with you earlier aheadther what a great pustle? Was 1263 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 27: that fun? 1264 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:00,760 Speaker 8: You know? 1265 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 27: I mean really no, it really did. It was really 1266 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 27: good to listen to both of you, and you both 1267 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 27: had really good things to say, and I think he 1268 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,920 Speaker 27: did hold his own. I think what's really frustrating here, 1269 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 27: as Claire said, is that we do need to have, 1270 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 27: you know, an approach where both parties will come together 1271 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 27: on this. Our energy security is really important. I laughed 1272 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 27: when I heard simmyon Brown talk about no wind and 1273 01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 27: no sun. He needs to come to Canterbury. I mean 1274 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,680 Speaker 27: the coastline, the waves, the waves are still waving, Simeon, 1275 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,720 Speaker 27: and I think geothermal energy there are ways to do it, 1276 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 27: but you're right clear in the short in the medium term, 1277 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,080 Speaker 27: we have few choices. And why do we have few 1278 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 27: choices because the previous governments have not worked together to 1279 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 27: secure the energy, our renewables in this country. 1280 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 3: It's such a shame, Claire, I mean, how do we 1281 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 3: ever bridge these gaps though on things like energy or roads, 1282 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 3: all these things that actually that the parties should reach 1283 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,800 Speaker 3: across and hold hands on. How do you bridge them? 1284 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 6: I just don't think. I just don't think we do. 1285 01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:03,360 Speaker 6: We've got a terrible history of being able to look 1286 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,600 Speaker 6: at the longer term in this country. Look at the 1287 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 6: terrible state of our infrastructure. I know I'm just saying 1288 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 6: the obvious, but it is the obvious that we just 1289 01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 6: put things off for so long. But this is really 1290 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 6: critically important. And even the aspiration, for example, to convert 1291 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 6: a larger number of US to electric cars could not 1292 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 6: possibly be fulfilled with the current you know available sort 1293 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 6: of charging capacity. It's charging in storage capacity. There's so 1294 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,000 Speaker 6: many things we need to get right, and we need 1295 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 6: many more engineers to make the stream come true, and 1296 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 6: we don't have them. Where there's there's an educational angle 1297 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 6: to it two, you know, bringing through those people and engineering. 1298 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 6: I honestly think we're going to remain in country that 1299 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 6: is a very short term, you know, sort of out 1300 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 6: where we look out to the short term, because we 1301 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 6: have a very very short electric cycle three years and 1302 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 6: there we are this. You know, we'll be looking we'll 1303 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,520 Speaker 6: be a mid term where those electricity bills start coming 1304 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 6: in in April, will be halfway through this electoral cycle, 1305 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,680 Speaker 6: and again you'll find the politicking we'll start all over 1306 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 6: again too, right, Well. 1307 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 27: Can I just say to that quickly? We put solar 1308 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 27: on our house where we had to rebuild it as 1309 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 27: a failed EQC repair. 1310 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 23: Best thing we ever did. 1311 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,919 Speaker 27: Our two bills of latest bills over winter have been 1312 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 27: the same cost, or rather two bills in our old 1313 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 27: house will have cost us what the entire year was 1314 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,280 Speaker 27: solar's cost. So you know there are ways to do this, 1315 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 27: and we. 1316 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 28: Sell that the bread as well. 1317 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, so your power bill then last month. 1318 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 27: Well we were paying oh last month was one hundred 1319 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 27: and ten dollars and we sold. 1320 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,680 Speaker 28: Some back to the grid. When we were in the 1321 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,240 Speaker 28: old cold place it was five. 1322 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 27: Hundred bucks either, so you know it's saving a lot 1323 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 27: of money. 1324 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,160 Speaker 3: That is a lot of money. Okay, Hey, Claire, were 1325 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 3: you disappointed to hear that the best one hit Wonder 1326 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 3: of all time is Jenny Jenny. 1327 01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, I couldn't even think how it went. I had 1328 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 6: a look at a list of them too, and the 1329 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 6: only one that really struck me as being kind of 1330 01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 6: vaguely credible was Funky Town by Pseudo Eco.

Jeez, what about you, Ali, I mean, Jenny 1333 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 3: Jenny sucks.

But yeah, funky Town was a great. 1339 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 3: I hate, I hate.

You'd go you'd sit through 1347 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,920 Speaker 3: at least twelve of their crap songs at a concert 1348 01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,920 Speaker 3: just for this one, wouldn't you? And in fact I 1349 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 3: almost did, but I turned up too late, and then 1350 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 3: I just saw Texas and that other band that annoyed me. 1351 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 3: What was that band's name that annoyed me? Simple minds? 1352 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 3: Hate them? Now Texas? How good? But I could have 1353 01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 3: seen these guys, and now I wish I did. Thank 1354 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:22,080 Speaker 3: you ants appreciate that. That's a huddle seven away from six. 1355 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 2: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app, and in 1356 01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,400 Speaker 2: your car on your drive home. Heather Dupless Allen Drive 1357 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 2: with one New Zealand one giant leap for business News 1358 01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 2: talk as that be. 1359 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 3: Heather, My Sharona is a great song. Do you know what? Actually, 1360 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,479 Speaker 3: My Sharona should probably be on this list. I feel 1361 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,520 Speaker 3: like it's been accidentally missed because the first song, being 1362 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 3: My Sharona, had three hundred and eighty four million streams 1363 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 3: on Spotify, and then the second song, Good Girls Don't 1364 01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:54,040 Speaker 3: only had about six million songs. I might be doing 1365 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 3: the maths wrong actually on this, but it feels to 1366 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,760 Speaker 3: me like a massive discrepancy, Like clearly the second song 1367 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,360 Speaker 3: is not got enough song to make it anything other 1368 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,240 Speaker 3: than wonder with a good song. Speaking of music, we've 1369 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,479 Speaker 3: only got one hour and five minutes to go, four 1370 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,880 Speaker 3: minutes to go now until we find out exactly what 1371 01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,640 Speaker 3: Oaysis are up to. Now, what we want to know 1372 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 3: is whether they are going to in fact do what 1373 01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 3: the rumors say they're going to do, which is reunite 1374 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,600 Speaker 3: for Glastonbury and a whole bunch of shows early next year. 1375 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:22,600 Speaker 3: I think the show what some of the shows are 1376 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,160 Speaker 3: supposed to be at Wembley, if not all of the shows. 1377 01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 3: But anyway, they're making this announcement at seven o'clock this 1378 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,320 Speaker 3: evening our time. And I'll tell you what hasn't changed 1379 01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 3: about Oasis is that Liam Gallagh is still an angry man, 1380 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 3: isn't he, Because he's gone on social media. He's very angry, 1381 01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 3: very very angry because people say that Oasis are only 1382 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 3: getting together because they're skint, and I haven't got enough 1383 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 3: money anymore, so they need to make the dollars, so 1384 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,040 Speaker 3: he said. He went on the social media just making 1385 01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 3: sure that people are still coming to the shows, obviously 1386 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 3: by chasing them all the way, said your attitude stinks 1387 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 3: to them and stuff like that. Anyway, I can tell 1388 01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 3: you the real reason why they're getting back together is 1389 01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 3: not at all because they're broke. It's because Noel Gallih 1390 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 3: has broken up with his wife. Because if you don't 1391 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,840 Speaker 3: know the story of Oasis, it's two brothers, right Neil 1392 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,360 Speaker 3: oh Noel and Liam and Nolan liamb have had this 1393 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 3: mass of falling out. But the reason they've had a 1394 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 3: falling out is because Noel married a bird that he 1395 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 3: met at Ibetha and he got hooked up with her 1396 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:19,120 Speaker 3: back in the two thousands. She didn't like his brother Liam, 1397 01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 3: and so that was never gonna work, was it. And 1398 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 3: he had to pick between the bird or the bro 1399 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,360 Speaker 3: and he picked the bird, bad choice, by the way. 1400 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,720 Speaker 3: And now that she's out of the picture, because they've 1401 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 3: broken up with each other, he's allowed to see his 1402 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,840 Speaker 3: brother again. That's my theory anyway. But we'll find out 1403 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 3: what's going on in an hour's time. Now ends with me. 1404 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 3: The business that owns newstalk ZB and the Herald has 1405 01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,560 Speaker 3: just reported and things are not going badly for them 1406 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 3: at all. I mean, everybody's struggling in media but bucking 1407 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,280 Speaker 3: the trend big time. So we'll have a chat to 1408 01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 3: the CEO Boxy, and I'm gonna ask him about the 1409 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 3: front page of The Herald and the Hobson's pledge ad. 1410 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:56,200 Speaker 2: What's down, what were the major calls and how will 1411 01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 2: it affect the economy of the business. Questions on the business, 1412 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,959 Speaker 2: we've the duple c Allen and my hr on News 1413 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 2: Talks V. 1414 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,560 Speaker 3: Even in coming up in the next hour. The OECD 1415 01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 3: General Secretary General Brother is in town, so Brad Olsen 1416 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,000 Speaker 3: will talk us through what he's saying to us. Jamie 1417 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,919 Speaker 3: McKay has got some hot goss on Fonterra to share 1418 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:18,920 Speaker 3: and it sounds like the locals in Barcelona and not 1419 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,000 Speaker 3: loving the America's cup. I'll explain that to you. It's 1420 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 3: eight past six now. Media Company ends at Me, which 1421 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,480 Speaker 3: owns Newstalk ZB and The Herald, has reported today it's 1422 01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,440 Speaker 3: posted a small profit of one point nine million dollars 1423 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,160 Speaker 3: for the first half of the year. That's down four 1424 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 3: point three on last year. Revenue is up, advertising as 1425 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 3: holding steady, and that is despite the fact that the 1426 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:37,920 Speaker 3: media sector has had a pretty tough year so far. 1427 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 3: We've had the shutting down of news Hub and TVNZ 1428 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 3: cutting a whole bunch of programs. Michael Boggs is the 1429 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 3: chief executive hiebog Zen. 1430 01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 9: Good afternoon. 1431 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,439 Speaker 3: You must be pretty pleased with this result given what's 1432 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 3: going on in the media sector. 1433 01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,360 Speaker 9: You're absolutely right. It is a very tough environment, I 1434 01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,280 Speaker 9: think in every sector in New Zealand at the moment, 1435 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,160 Speaker 9: but certainly as in media, and we're seeing that right 1436 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 9: around the market. 1437 01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 3: How did you manage to hold onto the advertising dollar? 1438 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 3: I mean you've seen it complete evaporate from TV, So 1439 01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:02,680 Speaker 3: how did you guys keep it? 1440 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 9: I think the key thing is, and I'll take a 1441 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 9: station like this, you know, we just don't go to 1442 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,160 Speaker 9: the market and talk about selling news talk ZB. We 1443 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,439 Speaker 9: sell the rest of the radio stations we have. We 1444 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 9: bundle out obviously with the New Zealand Herald, and we're 1445 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 9: seeing fantastic growth with one Roof, which is a real 1446 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:16,839 Speaker 9: key product for us for the future. 1447 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 3: But so why are they putting their money into print 1448 01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 3: and radio if they're not putting it into TV. 1449 01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 9: Well, I think when we go and talk to a customer, 1450 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,640 Speaker 9: we talk about what's the solution they're looking for? What 1451 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,400 Speaker 9: are you trying to achieve. We don't just come and 1452 01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 9: try and sell you a TV ad. And so when 1453 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 9: a customer wants to get to a particular audience set. 1454 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,320 Speaker 9: We actually sell across all of those platforms, which just 1455 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,160 Speaker 9: gives them a much better reach and a much better outcome. 1456 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 3: They're getting a bit of product. 1457 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:38,880 Speaker 9: Absolutely. 1458 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay, what do you think is going to happen 1459 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:42,960 Speaker 3: in the second half though, because it sounds like it 1460 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:43,679 Speaker 3: might get harder. 1461 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 9: Certainly is and we're seeing that already. So in the 1462 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 9: quarter one of this year, so it's January March or 1463 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 9: on a calendar year, we saw four percent growth year 1464 01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,360 Speaker 9: on year, two percent in quarter two, and what we're 1465 01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 9: seeing in quarter three at the moment is about one 1466 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,120 Speaker 9: percent growth. Now, we are seeing some signs of improvement 1467 01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,880 Speaker 9: though we're obviously seeing the ocr coming down. We're seeing 1468 01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 9: business and consumer confidence start to lift. So you know, 1469 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 9: we'd love to see that actually flow through into people spending. 1470 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,000 Speaker 3: One percent growth given what we're going through, which I 1471 01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 3: mean some people in some parts the economy is saying 1472 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 3: this is the hardest thing they've ever been through. One 1473 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 3: percent growth is not bad. 1474 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:17,439 Speaker 9: Well, the great news is one percent growth is against 1475 01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,760 Speaker 9: the market because the market is actually going backwards from 1476 01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,599 Speaker 9: an advertising perspective. So we're delighted to be taking share 1477 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,439 Speaker 9: across each of our platforms and we want to continue 1478 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:25,800 Speaker 9: doing that. 1479 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,920 Speaker 3: Hey, but so you'll rise, right, we've seen the turning 1480 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,200 Speaker 3: point where the ocr has now come down and a 1481 01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 3: whole bunch of bank rates are coming down. Do you 1482 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,000 Speaker 3: think it still gets hard as though, or does it 1483 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:36,559 Speaker 3: get easier? 1484 01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,040 Speaker 9: I think people's heads are starting to lift now. It's 1485 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 9: certainly tough, and you know, your listeners are no way 1486 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,280 Speaker 9: better than I as they run their businesses, for example. 1487 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 9: But I think you know, I had an old boss 1488 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 9: that said hope isn't a strategy. But I think we're 1489 01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 9: all hoping for better. We're actually talking about it getting better. 1490 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 9: We're saying business confidence is feeling better and that's all 1491 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 9: we need to get the country going again. 1492 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:56,680 Speaker 3: Okay, if hope it's not a strategy, then you're going 1493 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 3: to have to still make plans for it potentially to 1494 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,639 Speaker 3: be worse. So you're going to cut six million out 1495 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:01,520 Speaker 3: yet in expenditure. 1496 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,879 Speaker 9: We've already done that, So it's not something we're announcing 1497 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 9: today that hey, we've got a whole lot of new 1498 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,720 Speaker 9: cost cutting to do. That's happened. It's done through efficiencies 1499 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 9: across the business, and so we're pleased we've actually done 1500 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,479 Speaker 9: that at the beginning of this half already, and so 1501 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 9: that'll flow into the second half of this year. 1502 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 3: How on earth am I right in thinking one roof 1503 01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:18,519 Speaker 3: turn to profit for the first time? 1504 01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 9: It absolutely did. 1505 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,120 Speaker 3: How did it do that given what's going on in 1506 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 3: the housing market. 1507 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:23,920 Speaker 9: Well, we're doing a great job. Firstly, we're growing the 1508 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,759 Speaker 9: number of people that come to the site. We've closed 1509 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,600 Speaker 9: the gap to the number one player to be just 1510 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 9: ten percent difference. Now we've got more and more. We've 1511 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 9: got more and more people upgrading their houses on the platform, 1512 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 9: and it's a great product. So people are using it 1513 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 9: to inquire about houses, and people are using it to 1514 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:37,639 Speaker 9: sell the houses. 1515 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,040 Speaker 3: So as it kind of counterintuitively, when the market is 1516 01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 3: actually doing really, really badly, people are pumping a lot 1517 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 3: of money into the advertising for their houses. 1518 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,759 Speaker 9: Funny enough, it's actually the opposite. So we're really pleased 1519 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 9: to have done well in a tough environment. Because if 1520 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,040 Speaker 9: you don't think you're going to sell the hell your house, 1521 01:10:52,479 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 9: you're probably not going to advertise, even though you probably should. Yeah, 1522 01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:57,400 Speaker 9: but where if you think you are going to sell 1523 01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,519 Speaker 9: your house, you will spend some more on advertising because 1524 01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,559 Speaker 9: you want to get the price. So that's what we're 1525 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:03,160 Speaker 9: looking for in the second half of this year and 1526 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:03,800 Speaker 9: into next year. 1527 01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,320 Speaker 3: Okay, So on what's going on with the media. Are 1528 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,600 Speaker 3: you happy with what you've got from the government in 1529 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 3: terms of the Digital Marketing Bill and or Digital Bargain 1530 01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:12,240 Speaker 3: Bell and all that stuff. 1531 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 9: Well, certainly making progress and we expect to see more 1532 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,800 Speaker 9: of that in the coming weeks. All the noises and 1533 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 9: signals are appropriate and I look forward to seeing me 1534 01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:20,880 Speaker 9: it will come. 1535 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,679 Speaker 3: Sure boggsy that it's the answer, because it hasn't worked 1536 01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:24,200 Speaker 3: in Canada. 1537 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,400 Speaker 9: Well, it's not going to be the panacea. But we 1538 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 9: do know that all of the platforms, whether it be Google, Facebook, 1539 01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 9: or whether it be all the new AAI organizations are 1540 01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 9: taking a content and not paying it for us. 1541 01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 3: This doesn't cover AI, does it may do what? Well 1542 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:39,240 Speaker 3: do you know that? I don't know. 1543 01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,040 Speaker 9: Well, we'll see what the legislation says. We'll see. 1544 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 3: How are you guys still lobbying for the old AI 1545 01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:44,000 Speaker 3: to be covered? 1546 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,640 Speaker 9: Well, why shouldn't it be? Does check GPT take all 1547 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:47,479 Speaker 9: of our data? 1548 01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,280 Speaker 3: Well, I would argue with you that the AI should 1549 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,080 Speaker 3: be covered, actually more so than anything else. Yeah, so 1550 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,080 Speaker 3: it feels like it should be but that doesn't mean 1551 01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 3: that that the guys in the behive necessarily see it 1552 01:11:57,200 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 3: that way. 1553 01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 9: Well, if I ask check GPT where it gets its 1554 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,559 Speaker 9: common from last time I did it, it said between ten 1555 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 9: and fourteen percent of it came from the New Zealand Herald. 1556 01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 3: Was it honest about it? 1557 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:06,200 Speaker 29: Was it? 1558 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 9: That's what I said? 1559 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 3: Okay, Well that's a slam dunk, isn't it. 1560 01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 9: I think it is. And so that's where we're continuing 1561 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,639 Speaker 9: to focus on. It should be included and we should 1562 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 9: be paid for that content being used for these companies 1563 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:17,639 Speaker 9: to earn income. 1564 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 3: Right, Boxy, what happened with the ad the Hobson's Pledge ad? 1565 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 9: Hey, as you know, it was an ad. It's not 1566 01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 9: something that the company stands up and takes a position on. 1567 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,559 Speaker 9: We're absolutely reviewing guidelines. We're looking at what other companies 1568 01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 9: around the world do and so, and they're not too 1569 01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,559 Speaker 9: distant future, you'll see us come out and talk about whatever. 1570 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 3: Are you guys going to front foot and tell us 1571 01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:38,760 Speaker 3: if there's a change of position on this one. 1572 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,600 Speaker 9: Absolutely, we're very clear on what we will do in 1573 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:43,680 Speaker 9: the future and be clear on it. 1574 01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 3: So what I didn't understand was it was kind of 1575 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 3: obvious that a position needed to be taken on it 1576 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 3: during the election campaign because you remember, you will remember 1577 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:54,719 Speaker 3: the c to you the Union took out a personal 1578 01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 3: attack on Chris Luxon, who's now obviously the Prime minister, 1579 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,160 Speaker 3: and that made a lot of people really angry. Why 1580 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 3: at that point didn't you guys make a decision and 1581 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,040 Speaker 3: say this kind of add because he doesn't happen on 1582 01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:04,759 Speaker 3: the front page. 1583 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,400 Speaker 9: And so I think that's a really good point and 1584 01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:10,479 Speaker 9: something again that will review as part of these guidelines. Again, clearly, 1585 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,320 Speaker 9: they're not ads that we're saying. This is a position 1586 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,719 Speaker 9: we take as an organization. There's lots of arguments around 1587 01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 9: freedom of speech, but there's also and a lot of 1588 01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,800 Speaker 9: other arguments around making sure that you know we're not 1589 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,720 Speaker 9: offending people. I've had plenty of subscriber feedback. I've had 1590 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,320 Speaker 9: plenty of advertiser feedback in both directions. 1591 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 3: Are really absolutely okay. Have you lost any subscribers over it? 1592 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 9: We absolutely have. 1593 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 3: Both both accounts, yep. And have you lost any advertisers 1594 01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:34,439 Speaker 3: over it? 1595 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 9: Absolutely? Really quite a lot, not significant, but people have 1596 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,280 Speaker 9: sent us messages to let us know that they've got an. 1597 01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:42,240 Speaker 3: Opinion and they're not happy, and so they've pulled out. 1598 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:42,760 Speaker 10: That's right. 1599 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:44,280 Speaker 3: How much damagees it cost you? 1600 01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 9: It's not significant, but it's certainly something worth taking into account. 1601 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,320 Speaker 9: We're a corporate organization. We've got to do what's right 1602 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 9: for this business. 1603 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:52,479 Speaker 3: Okay, so when do you make a call, it won't 1604 01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:54,720 Speaker 3: be far away, all right, Listen, Boggsy, thank you very 1605 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:56,839 Speaker 3: much for being so frank with us. I really appreciates. 1606 01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,080 Speaker 3: Michael Bogg's the chief executive of enzed ME fourteen past six. 1607 01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,160 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. 1608 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,200 Speaker 2: It's Heather Dup to see Ellen with the business hours 1609 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:10,760 Speaker 2: thanks to my HR, the HR platform for SME on talkb. 1610 01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,000 Speaker 3: Apparently, the locals, as I was telling you not long 1611 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,880 Speaker 3: ago and Barcelona not loving having the America's Cup there. 1612 01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:18,439 Speaker 3: Some of them have been, I mean, there have been 1613 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,760 Speaker 3: like protests that happened last month. Thousands of them took 1614 01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,439 Speaker 3: the streets that were squirting tourists with water garns. Some 1615 01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 3: at the moment are wearing t shirts that say foreign 1616 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,679 Speaker 3: tourists go home, you're destroying our neighborhood. No America's Cup. 1617 01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 3: Apparently what they're fed up about is the tourism pushing 1618 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,840 Speaker 3: up the price of accommodation and putting pressure on the 1619 01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,200 Speaker 3: city services. Megan Singleton is a travel blogger. She's going 1620 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 3: to be with us after half bus six explained because 1621 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:44,040 Speaker 3: Grunt Dalton's argument is it's not us that are the problem, 1622 01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:47,320 Speaker 3: all the sailors, it's the Poms who come over and 1623 01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 3: get absolutely what's a nice word hammered, Yeah, thank you 1624 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,920 Speaker 3: ants so I appreciate that, hammered, lit sozzled, And then 1625 01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 3: they do a chunda under the bridge and then they 1626 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,519 Speaker 3: go back. Those are the ones they don't like. So anyway, 1627 01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 3: we'll get her take on what's actually going on as 1628 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 3: eighteen past six now trades on the agenda in Wellington tonight, 1629 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 3: the OECD's Secretary General is in town for his first 1630 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,840 Speaker 3: official visit to New Zealand, and Brad Olson, Infimetric's principal economist. 1631 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:12,720 Speaker 4: Is there. 1632 01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:16,799 Speaker 3: Hey, Brad, good evening. So what's the message that he's delivering. 1633 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,120 Speaker 11: I think you're just a sort of a complicated messaging 1634 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,600 Speaker 11: that we've been hearing a lot the last year or so. 1635 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,840 Speaker 4: Where look, New Zealand is trying to grow our trade. 1636 01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,920 Speaker 11: The governments, of course set that expectation to double the 1637 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 11: value of trade over the next decade. But at the 1638 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 11: same time we're all navigating those difficult international conversations. There's 1639 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,840 Speaker 11: a lot more geopolitical risk and challenge out there, and 1640 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,360 Speaker 11: so you know, we're working through all of that. But 1641 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,599 Speaker 11: I think as well, it was quite interesting to hear 1642 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,599 Speaker 11: from the Secretary General that focus that is coming through 1643 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,360 Speaker 11: a lot at the moment on economic growth. We know 1644 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:51,360 Speaker 11: that the rest of the world is still sort of 1645 01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,800 Speaker 11: struggling through those high inflation, high interest rate times, but 1646 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,519 Speaker 11: the area of Southeast Asia was singled out as a 1647 01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,599 Speaker 11: real growth area at the moment, and of course that's 1648 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:03,000 Speaker 11: somewhere where New Zealand has a lot more focus in 1649 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:05,679 Speaker 11: recent times. So encouraging to see that sort of profile 1650 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:07,719 Speaker 11: and spotlight on our part of the world. 1651 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 3: We apparently want to double trade in the next ten years. 1652 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:12,720 Speaker 3: Well not apparently, we do want to double trade in 1653 01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 3: the next ten years. Two way trade between ourselves and 1654 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,000 Speaker 3: thirty eight OECD nations is something like fifty billion dollars. 1655 01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:19,280 Speaker 3: How much more can we push that up? 1656 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,120 Speaker 11: Well, and I think that's sort of a really interesting 1657 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 11: question as we look through over time because and what 1658 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 11: I was a little bit struck by was. 1659 01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:29,639 Speaker 4: That we heard from the Secretary General that New Zealand has. 1660 01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 11: Done extra ordinary well, you know, promoting our products and 1661 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 11: similar on the global stage. And so I think it's 1662 01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 11: one of those areas where when we're thinking about the future, 1663 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 11: is it the same sort of products that we've always 1664 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:44,559 Speaker 11: been providing out or actually the brand new products that 1665 01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,280 Speaker 11: we can think of into the future. And I think 1666 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,920 Speaker 11: it's that area that sort of you know, dreaming up newer, bigger, 1667 01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 11: shinier stuff that we've got to be focused on. 1668 01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:51,680 Speaker 15: Now. 1669 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,040 Speaker 3: The Prime Minister is off to Malaysia and I think 1670 01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,000 Speaker 3: it's South Korea next week. I mean, do you think 1671 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 3: these are important trade trips? 1672 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:00,880 Speaker 4: I think it's sort of critical. 1673 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 11: I mean here we're you know, Lila on New Zealand 1674 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,839 Speaker 11: team of five million and the team of eight billion globally. 1675 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,360 Speaker 11: You know, we don't necessarily register on everyone's scale each 1676 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:10,320 Speaker 11: and every day. 1677 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,479 Speaker 4: So by being able to get out there, I think, you. 1678 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 11: Know, we do actually sort of promote our sales up 1679 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,960 Speaker 11: the border bit more. I have sort of been you know, 1680 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,200 Speaker 11: quite encouraged by the fact that you know, you have 1681 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,720 Speaker 11: seen government ministers out across the world. 1682 01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 4: There's been a lot of international trips. 1683 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 11: We've seen the Prime Minister already, you know, often in 1684 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,320 Speaker 11: Japan and similar earlier this year. You know, we've had 1685 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,519 Speaker 11: the Trade Minister out across the world. In fact, there 1686 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,840 Speaker 11: was a stop last year. I don't think he literally slept. 1687 01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,240 Speaker 11: He slept only on planes rather than booking a hotel room. 1688 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:38,760 Speaker 11: So all of this is encouraging. We of course had 1689 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 11: the UN Sectorary General here last week, the OECD Sectary 1690 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,439 Speaker 11: General here at the moment, like it does feel like 1691 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:46,920 Speaker 11: there is a real international focus coming from New Zealand 1692 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,840 Speaker 11: at the moment, and I am encouraged because that's the 1693 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,920 Speaker 11: way we're going to have to make connections. We're going 1694 01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:52,960 Speaker 11: to have to trade with those connections, and the way 1695 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,960 Speaker 11: you do that is by pressing the flesh and getting 1696 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:55,599 Speaker 11: in front of people. 1697 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:56,920 Speaker 3: But it's good to talk to you, mate, Go and 1698 01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,400 Speaker 3: enjoy the evening. That's Brad Olson, Infametric's principle economists. By 1699 01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:04,280 Speaker 3: the way, Tasty Cheese Mainland Tasty Cheese has finally broken 1700 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,400 Speaker 3: the twenty buck barrier. Is this the first time? I 1701 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,439 Speaker 3: feel like it is. I could be wrong, but I 1702 01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,800 Speaker 3: feel like we've been talking about this for the longest time, 1703 01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 3: and finally we've just got there and we're paying around 1704 01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:17,599 Speaker 3: twenty bucks in Patni at one of the supermarkets just there. 1705 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,919 Speaker 3: It is no nineteen ninety nine, none of this nineteen 1706 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 3: ninety five nonsense. They've just been straight up with your 1707 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 3: twenty bucks. Give us a twenty There you go. We'll 1708 01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:30,000 Speaker 3: have a chat to Jamie mchaiy next six to twenty one. 1709 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,720 Speaker 1: The Rural Report on hither do for see allan. 1710 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,720 Speaker 3: Drive Jamie mckaye hosts of the Countries with us a 1711 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 3: Jamie Goody. Hear that, hear You've got a hot take 1712 01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,679 Speaker 3: on the price of butter and on cheese, because Laura, 1713 01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 3: the producer was saying to me she was gutted. She 1714 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 3: went to New World the other day and it was 1715 01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 3: ten bucks for what was it, anchor an anchor butter. 1716 01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:50,040 Speaker 3: That's a lot. 1717 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,439 Speaker 10: Well, I'd just said to produce a Laura, get used 1718 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:58,520 Speaker 10: to it. Unfortunately, because the price of international dairy commodities, 1719 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,960 Speaker 10: this is going up. We're just surely as night Fellow's day, 1720 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,800 Speaker 10: the price of butter and cheese and the supermarkets is 1721 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:08,799 Speaker 10: likely to go up. And I was watching the story 1722 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 10: on one of the network news programs about twenty dollars 1723 01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,600 Speaker 10: for a block of cheese. Laura's saying ten bucks for 1724 01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:19,240 Speaker 10: a block of butter. And the bizarre thing about all 1725 01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 10: this feat there is I'm here also hearing there's like 1726 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:27,040 Speaker 10: a butter shortage in this country, which is absolutely yeah, apparently. Well, 1727 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,120 Speaker 10: I couldn't believe it a couple of weeks ago when 1728 01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 10: they said there was a shortage of beef and lamb. 1729 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,360 Speaker 10: You know, we grow the stuff, we export it. We 1730 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,639 Speaker 10: seem to have a shortage of it domestically. But yep, 1731 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 10: just on the subject of cheese, it'll go up because farm, well, 1732 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 10: international commodity prices are going up, So go stock up 1733 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:48,679 Speaker 10: on butter and cheese. 1734 01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,520 Speaker 3: Now do you buy when you go to the supermarket 1735 01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:51,960 Speaker 3: do you buy the Anchor or do you buy the 1736 01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,880 Speaker 3: West Gold? Because I find the Anchor is a little 1737 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,599 Speaker 3: bit funky tasting and I prefer I prefer the bougie 1738 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:57,600 Speaker 3: West Gold. 1739 01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 10: I buy a six pack of m since Pelsener at 1740 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:01,480 Speaker 10: the supermarket. 1741 01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,120 Speaker 3: You don't need better than if you're eating there. 1742 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,920 Speaker 10: I don't need that. There's a there's a steak in 1743 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:06,559 Speaker 10: every bottle. 1744 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,639 Speaker 3: Heather, Hey, what are you hearing about fonterra? 1745 01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:11,800 Speaker 15: Oh? 1746 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,720 Speaker 10: Nothing, Well, I mean I'm hearing that there's going to 1747 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,639 Speaker 10: be an announcement tomorrow, I just wonder what the hell 1748 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,200 Speaker 10: it is, because, of course, they came out very recently, 1749 01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,400 Speaker 10: in fact, last Friday, it's top of my head, and 1750 01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,519 Speaker 10: announced a fifty percent increase in the milk forecast price. 1751 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 10: I doubt, in fact, would be totally sure. They're not 1752 01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:33,439 Speaker 10: going to come out tomorrow and announce another rise in 1753 01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:37,639 Speaker 10: the milk forecast price. Although they moved from eight dollars 1754 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:41,400 Speaker 10: to eight fifty, the futures market is at eight eighty. 1755 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,000 Speaker 10: This is for the season we're in. And I think 1756 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 10: nz X came out late late last week and we're 1757 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:49,120 Speaker 10: predicting nine dollars twenty And I harked back to what 1758 01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:53,040 Speaker 10: I said before, that's why the price of dairy commodities 1759 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,160 Speaker 10: domestically are probably going to go up. But there is 1760 01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,840 Speaker 10: something coming from Fonterra tomorrow, Heather, I. 1761 01:20:57,800 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 14: Don't know what it is. 1762 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,360 Speaker 3: I can't wait. I can't wait a Fonterra announcement's so 1763 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 3: important to the country. Thank you, Jamie really appreciated Jamie Mackay, 1764 01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,760 Speaker 3: Host of the Country. I made it sound like, by 1765 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,360 Speaker 3: the way, West gold is more expensive than mainland, but 1766 01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,720 Speaker 3: it blows my mind. It's not like I was looking 1767 01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:15,040 Speaker 3: at the supermarket prices just now and bearing in mind 1768 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:17,519 Speaker 3: that it's going to change, you know wherever it is 1769 01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,880 Speaker 3: that you're shopping. But West Gold from where I can see, 1770 01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:24,639 Speaker 3: and this quite nice butter by the way, seven dollars 1771 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,679 Speaker 3: forty at Woolworths. And what were you pay was ten 1772 01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:31,040 Speaker 3: dollars ten dollars for the old anchor, Like why are 1773 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 3: you eating anchor for ten dollars when you can pay 1774 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 3: seven dollars forty for Wes's gold. You could tell yourself 1775 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 3: it's flashy, because frankly it is. Anyway, Hither, I just 1776 01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,479 Speaker 3: got back from five days in Barcelona. No problem for us. 1777 01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 3: They love Australia and New Zealand. The problem is the 1778 01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:47,679 Speaker 3: accommodation that's taken up by the euro tourists as holiday homes. Sherl, 1779 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 3: thank you for that. Megan's going to talk us through 1780 01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 3: it shortly. Also, don't know if you've been keeping an 1781 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 3: eye on what's going on with the Beam e scooters, 1782 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,840 Speaker 3: but Auckland Council has just canceled the license they have 1783 01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 3: until midnight and they have to get all of the 1784 01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,400 Speaker 3: beam scooters off the roads so the beam ones. Are 1785 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 3: they the purple ones? I think they might be. They're 1786 01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,559 Speaker 3: gone off the roads in Auckland because they only had 1787 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,920 Speaker 3: permission for twelve hundred scooters. They put fifteen hundred on 1788 01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 3: the roads. They broke the rules. Been doing it in 1789 01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,640 Speaker 3: various other councils as well. So that's what happens. And 1790 01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 3: they've been referred to the cops. That's what happens. 1791 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 2: Headline's next, whether it's macro, MicroB or just plain economics, 1792 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 2: it's all on The Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Allen 1793 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:34,360 Speaker 2: and my HR, the HR platform for sme US talks B. 1794 01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:45,920 Speaker 3: You know, I worry when boomers start going hard on 1795 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 3: social media. It's just not their natural habitat. However, Wayne 1796 01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:52,559 Speaker 3: Brown is going hard on social media and it's actually 1797 01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,120 Speaker 3: a good time. I'll run you through the details very shortly, 1798 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,519 Speaker 3: getting a lot of texts saying hey, listen, here's the 1799 01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:59,800 Speaker 3: difference between the pricing of the west Gold butter and 1800 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 3: the Anchor butter. The Anchor butter is five hundred grams 1801 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,680 Speaker 3: and the west Gold is four hundred grams. I did 1802 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 3: the maths for you. It still works out cheaper because 1803 01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 3: it's seven dollars forty. If you were to increase it 1804 01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:13,639 Speaker 3: to five hundred grams, you'd still be paying nine dollars 1805 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,559 Speaker 3: twenty five. That's still cheaper than the ten dollars you're 1806 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 3: going to pay for the anchor ants. Why have you 1807 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 3: got your cans on?

No? 1810 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 29: I was lucky enough and that I helped a couple 1811 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 29: of my neighbors move out recently and they let me 1812 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 29: have the pick of their fridge. So I haven't paid 1813 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:31,040 Speaker 29: for my butter in. 1814 01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:31,559 Speaker 1: A little while. 1815 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:32,760 Speaker 3: How much butter do they haven't they? 1816 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 14: Oh? 1817 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:34,280 Speaker 29: They had at least two good blocks. 1818 01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,000 Speaker 3: Fantastic, Okay, yeap, lucky? 1819 01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:38,120 Speaker 29: Sorry, how the other half live? 1820 01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,800 Speaker 3: I guess not at all what we were expecting as 1821 01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,360 Speaker 3: a contribution to this particular discussion. But I mean, that's 1822 01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 3: quite a nice thing to do.

Twenty four away from seven now, 1831 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,960 Speaker 3: tourists arriving in Barcelona, as I was telling you earlier 1832 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,720 Speaker 3: for the America's Cup A receiving a hostile welcome as 1833 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,880 Speaker 3: the city grapples with overcrowding and mass tourism. Locals have 1834 01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,639 Speaker 3: been seen wearing anti America's Cup merchandise and they're planning 1835 01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 3: a series of demonstrations about this next week. Now. Megan 1836 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,880 Speaker 3: Singleton is a travel writer from Blogger at Large and 1837 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:21,040 Speaker 3: is with us. Now, Hey, Megan, hi, here, this is 1838 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,439 Speaker 3: not this is not just a Barcelona thing. Is that 1839 01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,679 Speaker 3: this is across Europe that they're feeling quite hostile towards tourists. 1840 01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:29,760 Speaker 12: I know, it's and it's weird, isn't it was? Because 1841 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,760 Speaker 12: if you take Barcelona, don't forget that the mayor was 1842 01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:37,560 Speaker 12: just saying how when they won the pitch, how fantastic 1843 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 12: it was going to be for Barcelona to have all 1844 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,879 Speaker 12: these tourists in this great, big event, and then everyone 1845 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:47,320 Speaker 12: arrives and go to faith. You would imagine and hello, 1846 01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:48,519 Speaker 12: they're all being a bit of me. 1847 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1848 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:50,880 Speaker 12: It's a bit strange, isn't it. 1849 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:53,640 Speaker 3: They have a fair point, though, I mean, if you 1850 01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 3: were to completely see it just from their perspective. They've 1851 01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,519 Speaker 3: got a point, haven't they, That all these people come 1852 01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,639 Speaker 3: in for a lark, drive up the prices and they 1853 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,799 Speaker 3: can't enjoy it themselves. 1854 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:05,920 Speaker 12: And it's not even just a lark. So I've tried 1855 01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:08,200 Speaker 12: to do a bit of Google research. Well I'm not 1856 01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 12: as good as ants. What I have discovered is each 1857 01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 12: team has all of its crew and families and they 1858 01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 12: have put multiple apartments for multiple months to live there 1859 01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,639 Speaker 12: and get all these you know, just even shipping over 1860 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 12: of all the boats are putting together, of the boats 1861 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:28,400 Speaker 12: all the ancillary teams. I did see that there were 1862 01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 12: three hundred Emirates flights booked just for Team New Zealand 1863 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,439 Speaker 12: to get there, so you know, extrapolate that out to 1864 01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,200 Speaker 12: all six teams and that's a lot of crew and 1865 01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 12: families living in apartments in Barcelona. And yes, then you've 1866 01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,519 Speaker 12: got the tourists that are coming over to watch it 1867 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,280 Speaker 12: and that are taking all the airbnbs. So that is 1868 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,120 Speaker 12: why the locals are finding their accommodation prices are going 1869 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,680 Speaker 12: sky high that there's no reas for them to stay. 1870 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 3: Is there a thing going on at the moment where 1871 01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:58,360 Speaker 3: we are particularly interested in going to Europe. 1872 01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 12: Well, another thing that was very interesting was that Paris 1873 01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 12: was down on this time last year in tourist numbers, 1874 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 12: and so they did not get the bang for their 1875 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,439 Speaker 12: bucket they were promised that they would get. And then 1876 01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 12: I also discovered that in the last Summer Olympics, London, 1877 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 12: as Atlanta all saw a decrease in tourism when they 1878 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:20,080 Speaker 12: hosted the summer Games. So that you fork out all 1879 01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 12: this big money for your city and you hope that 1880 01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 12: it's going to, you know, increase their tourism, and you've 1881 01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:29,200 Speaker 12: got Airbnb's going on special, hotels discounting their rates, and 1882 01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,240 Speaker 12: in restaurants trying to do too well. 1883 01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:32,680 Speaker 3: And what do you put that down to is that 1884 01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:34,240 Speaker 3: just because people look at it and go that's a 1885 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,680 Speaker 3: massive event, it's going to be an absolute cluster. I'm 1886 01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:37,400 Speaker 3: not going. 1887 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 12: Exactly little to airlines are saying they took a massive hit. 1888 01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 12: Americans just thought that we're not going to Paris and 1889 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,720 Speaker 12: so they were hugely down on this time last year. 1890 01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,360 Speaker 3: You ever been to the Olympic Games. 1891 01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 12: No, but I've had friends that were there this year 1892 01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,519 Speaker 12: and they were just filling their Facebook feed with all 1893 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,360 Speaker 12: of their shots they were in the athletics that they 1894 01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 12: were just that every athletics event and it was made 1895 01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 12: watching it vicariously that was my life. 1896 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,400 Speaker 3: And so what did they say, was it a cluster 1897 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:06,559 Speaker 3: or was it actually awesome? 1898 01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 12: No, they thought it was awesome. But then they were 1899 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 12: staying somewhere and they were going to the events, and 1900 01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,680 Speaker 12: they were going to every single event, and then they 1901 01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,840 Speaker 12: would go out and do stuff in the evening. But 1902 01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:20,280 Speaker 12: I think if you had a little restaurant, not perhaps 1903 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,800 Speaker 12: right around although Stay de France is not in a 1904 01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:27,280 Speaker 12: great area of Paris, and they have seen enormous increase 1905 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:32,200 Speaker 12: in well building infrastructure, lots more police, lots more people 1906 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,519 Speaker 12: keeping it tidy, and they've loved it and their businesses 1907 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 12: have really thrived. But that was literally right around the stadium. 1908 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,040 Speaker 12: I think the rest of the places in Paris saw 1909 01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:42,200 Speaker 12: a decrease. 1910 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 3: Fascinating stuff. Meghan, thank you for talking us through that. 1911 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,200 Speaker 3: Really appreciated what a great job you've got, Megan Singleton, 1912 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 3: blogger at. 1913 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,360 Speaker 1: Large either duper Cy Ellen. 1914 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,000 Speaker 3: This is one of the weirdest stories that you're going 1915 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,799 Speaker 3: to hear probably today, because there's a lot of weird 1916 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 3: stuff going on in here that like that none of 1917 01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:02,120 Speaker 3: us really have an hour lives. Okay, do you remember 1918 01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,960 Speaker 3: the farmer bro Martin shre Kelly. I think this is 1919 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,400 Speaker 3: how you pronounced his name. Do you remember him. Everybody 1920 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:10,400 Speaker 3: hated it because he became famous because he tried to 1921 01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 3: raise the price of a live saving drug, remember astronomically 1922 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:15,679 Speaker 3: to make heaps of money. And he was like, who 1923 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,720 Speaker 3: cares if people are sick and needing this drug, I'm 1924 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:19,800 Speaker 3: just going to make maximum amount a dollar out of it. 1925 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,400 Speaker 3: He is in trouble with the law in the States 1926 01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:26,400 Speaker 3: at the moment for sharing copies of the Wu Tan 1927 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,800 Speaker 3: Clans album Once Upon a Time in Sharlin, which has 1928 01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,000 Speaker 3: never been released. Now. The story here with this album 1929 01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 3: is that Wu Tang Clan made this over about six 1930 01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 3: years and then finally released it in twenty fifteen, but 1931 01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,519 Speaker 3: never actually released it to the public, so none of 1932 01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:43,600 Speaker 3: us have heard it. Right, the album's there, it's like 1933 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,040 Speaker 3: thirty one tracks or something like that. None of us 1934 01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 3: had ever heard it because all they did was they 1935 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 3: put one copy up for auction in twenty fifteen on 1936 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,920 Speaker 3: the strict condition that whoever buys it cannot release it publicly, 1937 01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:57,360 Speaker 3: because it was a statement that they were making about 1938 01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,160 Speaker 3: contemporary art, and they wanted to be part of contemporary 1939 01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:04,799 Speaker 3: Now Oldbro Farmer Bro bought the album for twelve million 1940 01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 3: bucks back in twenty fifteen. This is US money. But 1941 01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 3: then he got in trouble with the law for securities fraud, 1942 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,200 Speaker 3: for lying to investors in cheating them out of millions 1943 01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:15,519 Speaker 3: of dollars and stuff like that, and he had to 1944 01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,920 Speaker 3: forfeit the album because it was obviously so valuable. And 1945 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:21,719 Speaker 3: then the album was bought by a weird cryptocurrency collective 1946 01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 3: called something like Please a Daho. I don't really know 1947 01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:26,519 Speaker 3: how to pronounce it, but I think that's how you 1948 01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,479 Speaker 3: say this particularly weird name that they've given themselves. They 1949 01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:32,760 Speaker 3: paid four point seventy five million US for US has 1950 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:35,639 Speaker 3: gone up in value by this stage. Now Please Adao 1951 01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:39,720 Speaker 3: has a problem with Martin Kelly because they reckon. He 1952 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:43,240 Speaker 3: still got copies and he's sharing them. There wasn't just 1953 01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:45,559 Speaker 3: one copy, after all, the little creep has gone and 1954 01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:47,680 Speaker 3: burned them and he's sharing them with his mates or 1955 01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:50,640 Speaker 3: possibly selling them. So a judge in New York has 1956 01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 3: said that he must produce all copies of this album 1957 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 3: and he must report the names of anyone that he's 1958 01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,160 Speaker 3: distributed the music to and he's got until the end 1959 01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:00,800 Speaker 3: of next month, end of September, and to also give 1960 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,920 Speaker 3: any money that he's made from it. Weird, isn't it. 1961 01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:05,320 Speaker 3: Eighteen Away from seven. 1962 01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:09,080 Speaker 2: Everything from a SMEs to the Big Corporates, The Business 1963 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:12,240 Speaker 2: Hour with Heather Duple c Ellen and my HR, the 1964 01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:14,160 Speaker 2: HR platform for a SME. 1965 01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:17,960 Speaker 3: US talk to B and A Brady Ow UK correspondents 1966 01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 3: with ME now into Hello. 1967 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:22,080 Speaker 14: Hey, Heather, great to speak to you again. 1968 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,360 Speaker 3: Hey, it's fifteen minutes and we're going to find out 1969 01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:26,160 Speaker 3: what Oasis are up to.

I mean, 1978 01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:53,880 Speaker 14: if this turns out that they are getting back together. 1979 01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:57,680 Speaker 14: There's rumors of ten Nights Book at Wembley next year. 1980 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,800 Speaker 14: Which would break Taylor Swift's record sheet set of eight. 1981 01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:05,000 Speaker 14: There's rumors of a headline gig at Glastonbury Festival. It's 1982 01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 14: going to be the event in Europe of twenty twenty five. 1983 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:09,920 Speaker 3: What are you doing sitting on the website it so 1984 01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 3: you can buy tickets immediately or something like that. 1985 01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,679 Speaker 14: Something's gonna happen in let me work it out fifteen precisely, 1986 01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:20,559 Speaker 14: fifteen minutes. Yeah, I mean, look, it's it's huge, and 1987 01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:22,639 Speaker 14: if you're not a fan, that doesn't mean anything to you. 1988 01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:26,160 Speaker 14: But this was the defining music of the nineties really 1989 01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:29,080 Speaker 14: for a lot of people and everyone who followed the band. 1990 01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:33,920 Speaker 14: The rouse, the sibling rivalry, the physical violence between them, 1991 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,760 Speaker 14: all the nasty interviews they've said about each other. I mean, 1992 01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,120 Speaker 14: it's just the next chapter. It's such a rock and 1993 01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,960 Speaker 14: roll thing, and the part of me is a little 1994 01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,160 Speaker 14: bit kind of cynical thinking this is all being driven 1995 01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,200 Speaker 14: by Noel's recent divorce, yeah, and the payment to his 1996 01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:49,000 Speaker 14: ex wife. But happening. 1997 01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,479 Speaker 3: I mean, I just thought it was that Bird didn't 1998 01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:53,559 Speaker 3: like Liam and she was getting in the way, and 1999 01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 3: now that she's out of the way, they can actually 2000 01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:56,520 Speaker 3: have a brotherly relationship. 2001 01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,240 Speaker 14: That's a good take. Look, I think the woman always 2002 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,679 Speaker 14: gets blamed when bands break up, whether it's the Beatles 2003 01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:06,960 Speaker 14: or Oasis. But let's see. I think it's just going 2004 01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,800 Speaker 14: to be seismic and it would give, certainly the whole 2005 01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,719 Speaker 14: of the UK a big lift of people have something 2006 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,720 Speaker 14: to really look forward to next summer. But because they 2007 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:18,360 Speaker 14: just tore it up, they broke all the record books. 2008 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,479 Speaker 14: They made amazing music. I drove into London this morning 2009 01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:24,719 Speaker 14: and I put on Definitely Maybe It's thirty years old 2010 01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:28,080 Speaker 14: that album and it still gets you going. I mean, 2011 01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:30,600 Speaker 14: I was just buzzing and it's just going to be 2012 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,760 Speaker 14: so exciting. My only fear is can they actually be 2013 01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:37,240 Speaker 14: in each other's company for ten nights on the spin 2014 01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:38,519 Speaker 14: without something going wrong? 2015 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:40,320 Speaker 3: This is true, This is true. You ever met them, 2016 01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 3: by the way, I've. 2017 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,920 Speaker 14: Mett All a few times, and this sounds like a 2018 01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,639 Speaker 14: really kind of not so humble brag. He's a huge 2019 01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:50,840 Speaker 14: fan of my work, which I was not aware of 2020 01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:53,320 Speaker 14: until he came up to me. Not a word of 2021 01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 14: a lie. He came up to me at Heathrow Airport 2022 01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,560 Speaker 14: one day and he explained that them he spends a 2023 01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,800 Speaker 14: lot of time in hotels, for his music, for his work, 2024 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 14: and he listens to a lot of news and he 2025 01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:08,519 Speaker 14: just randomly started. This was years and years ago, and 2026 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:13,400 Speaker 14: I was hugely humbled, and there was people watching in 2027 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:16,200 Speaker 14: the queue as he throw airport security, and he was 2028 01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:17,920 Speaker 14: asking me where I was going and what I was 2029 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:21,840 Speaker 14: reporting on next, and did he keep listening. We shook hands, 2030 01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:25,240 Speaker 14: got a picture, and then I met him again. He 2031 01:33:25,320 --> 01:33:27,519 Speaker 14: came into Sky one day and I had a lot 2032 01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:29,799 Speaker 14: of footballs in the car. It's quite a funny story. 2033 01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:31,960 Speaker 14: I run a lot of marathons, as you know, for 2034 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:35,599 Speaker 14: breast cancer charities, and when I saw Noel, I realized 2035 01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:37,639 Speaker 14: I had a bag of soccer balls in the boot 2036 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:39,679 Speaker 14: of my car, and I asked him, I said, would 2037 01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:41,800 Speaker 14: you mind signing a few footballs for me, just for 2038 01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:44,519 Speaker 14: the cancer charity. And he came over to my car 2039 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:46,320 Speaker 14: and he was brilliant and he signed them all. And 2040 01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:48,519 Speaker 14: it was really funny because the first ball he picked up, 2041 01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:51,439 Speaker 14: I'd had an autographed by Paul Merson, who used to 2042 01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:54,799 Speaker 14: play for Arsenal, and he misread the autograph and he said, 2043 01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 14: oh my god, you got Paul Weller on this. And 2044 01:33:57,439 --> 01:33:59,080 Speaker 14: I didn't have the heart to tell him that it 2045 01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:02,879 Speaker 14: was Paul Merson soccer player and not Paul Weller the musician, 2046 01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 14: and he said, oh, he said, I've got to sign 2047 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:06,760 Speaker 14: all these if Weller has done it for you. So 2048 01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:08,679 Speaker 14: the end result was I got a load of soccer 2049 01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:12,080 Speaker 14: ball sign They raised tens of thousands of dollars. They're 2050 01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:14,720 Speaker 14: really good guys. I don't know Lim at all, but 2051 01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,360 Speaker 14: anytime I've run into Knowl he has just been brilliant. 2052 01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:18,880 Speaker 3: Right, what's the best tuned you reckon? 2053 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,960 Speaker 14: Oh, Morning Glory? What's the story Morning Glory? I'll love 2054 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:28,719 Speaker 14: Wonderwall master Plan. I mean, they're just so many hits. 2055 01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:32,400 Speaker 14: The album is a classic, and I wish them well genuinely. 2056 01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 14: I just think they're such characters, and certainly the fact 2057 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,240 Speaker 14: that they're of Irish stock and when they go home 2058 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:40,879 Speaker 14: to where their parents are from in the West of Ireland, 2059 01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,680 Speaker 14: they sit, they drink ginness, they play the guitar in 2060 01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:46,960 Speaker 14: the local pub and nobody bothers them. And that makes 2061 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 14: me really proud to be Irish that global rock stars 2062 01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:52,439 Speaker 14: can go and sit in a pub in County Mayo, 2063 01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,679 Speaker 14: have a sing song in a session and people basically 2064 01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:59,200 Speaker 14: leave them alone, because ultimately they're Peggy's kids who've come 2065 01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:00,639 Speaker 14: home that cool. 2066 01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:04,600 Speaker 3: I really appreciate you end up sharing my enthusiasm for it. 2067 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:06,599 Speaker 3: I feel like you're the first person I've actually run 2068 01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,880 Speaker 3: into all day who's here for this end of Brady 2069 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,000 Speaker 3: our UK correspondent. I was trying to I mean, I 2070 01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:15,400 Speaker 3: feel like it's hard to pick the best Oasis song, 2071 01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:18,040 Speaker 3: isn't it? Because He's right, there's just an album full 2072 01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:20,040 Speaker 3: of bangers. But I feel like Roll with It is 2073 01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:22,160 Speaker 3: the one that you know that you got a roll 2074 01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:23,800 Speaker 3: That's the one that gets stuck in my head all 2075 01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:25,200 Speaker 3: the time. So I'm going to go with that one 2076 01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:26,599 Speaker 3: just for the sake of it, just for the sake 2077 01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,760 Speaker 3: of having to pick something right on the spot. Wayne Brown, Now, 2078 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:31,519 Speaker 3: as I was telling you, do worry about the old 2079 01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:33,760 Speaker 3: boomers getting into the social media. But Wayne Brown is 2080 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,400 Speaker 3: nailing this. At the moment, he's done, he's doing his podcast. 2081 01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:40,400 Speaker 3: We've loved that, and now he's hit the Twitter with 2082 01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:44,679 Speaker 3: a video. He's giving himself congratulations quite rightly, quite rightly 2083 01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:47,240 Speaker 3: for doing the very thing that Chris Luxon said last 2084 01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:48,720 Speaker 3: week that the councils need to do, which just to 2085 01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:51,040 Speaker 3: stop wasting money rate rises. 2086 01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:52,599 Speaker 1: There are royal pain in the pulm. 2087 01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:55,200 Speaker 20: Nobody likes to getting the rate letter in the post 2088 01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:57,760 Speaker 20: telling you to hand over a more carrot for the 2089 01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:58,840 Speaker 20: same student. 2090 01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:02,799 Speaker 3: At which point he throws a carrot in a pot. 2091 01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:04,439 Speaker 3: But there's more. 2092 01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:08,080 Speaker 20: We've got two options. We either make savings or we 2093 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:11,280 Speaker 20: put up your rates. So far we've managed to find 2094 01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:14,600 Speaker 20: eighty three million dollars of savings. But it's no coincidence 2095 01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:17,600 Speaker 20: that we've delivered the last rate rise of any metropolitan 2096 01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:21,519 Speaker 20: center in the country. Let's face it, things could be worse. 2097 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:26,479 Speaker 3: And at the point man man man utter my own heart. 2098 01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:28,719 Speaker 3: At the point where he says, let's face that things 2099 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:32,040 Speaker 3: could be worse, he points at Wellington, where the rates 2100 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:35,160 Speaker 3: rises as sixteen point nine percent. But do not be 2101 01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:37,599 Speaker 3: fooled by that. But that, by the way, that's that's 2102 01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:39,680 Speaker 3: compared to his six point eight percent. Do not be 2103 01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:44,280 Speaker 3: fooled by that, because the Wellington Regional Council's rates rises 2104 01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:47,719 Speaker 3: are twenty percent twenty point five. So sometimes it works 2105 01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,000 Speaker 3: out just the way that it works out works out 2106 01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 3: at way above sixteen point nine percent for some people. 2107 01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:57,880 Speaker 20: So my message to council is clear, stop wasting money. 2108 01:36:58,479 --> 01:36:58,919 Speaker 1: Please. 2109 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:05,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would take them. Seriously. There's a lot of 2110 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,000 Speaker 3: sound of guns being cocked in the background of that video. 2111 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:08,760 Speaker 29: It sounds like he's about to say it's not his 2112 01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:09,960 Speaker 29: first for a day area. 2113 01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,000 Speaker 3: And thank you for raising this because I feel like 2114 01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:15,920 Speaker 3: it's the same people who made the Winston video have 2115 01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:17,040 Speaker 3: also made this video. 2116 01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:18,400 Speaker 29: Oh and do you think they were behind the Shane 2117 01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:20,679 Speaker 29: Jones karaokes we got during the election as well? 2118 01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:22,599 Speaker 3: No, I think that was just that was somebody got 2119 01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,599 Speaker 3: drunken to that because there was no way anybody self respond. 2120 01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 1: That's a relief. 2121 01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,360 Speaker 3: No self respecting person would own that age away from seven. 2122 01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:33,800 Speaker 2: Whether it's macro, micro or just plain economics. It's all 2123 01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:37,479 Speaker 2: on The Business Hour with Heather Duplicity Ellen and my HR, 2124 01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:42,920 Speaker 2: the HR platform for SME used TALKSB crunching the numbers 2125 01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:44,200 Speaker 2: and getting the results. 2126 01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:47,280 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplicy Allen with the Business. 2127 01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:50,439 Speaker 2: Hours thanks to my HR, the HR platform for SME 2128 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:51,760 Speaker 2: on us TALKSB. 2129 01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:55,320 Speaker 3: Hey good News.

The weather 2131 01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:59,479 Speaker 3: across the country in the last few days has been 2132 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,799 Speaker 3: a bit yeah, but also has had a silver lining, 2133 01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,000 Speaker 3: which is that the Hydra lakes are a little more 2134 01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:07,960 Speaker 3: full than they were before. They haven't said by how much, 2135 01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,640 Speaker 3: but Lake Poohkucky is up just a few inches. But 2136 01:38:10,720 --> 01:38:15,840 Speaker 3: these things make a difference.
