Now, there is 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 2: no doubt what's happening in Gaza is disgrace full, disgusting. 56 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: Call it what you will, as Trump rightly put it, 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: You can't fake starvation, can you? Kids are hungry and 58 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: when you see those pictures on the telly, you just 59 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: want to do something anything in walks Chloe Swarbriock wearing 60 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: her Keefer scarf in parliament. 61 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 7: If we find six of sixty eight Government MPs with 62 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 7: a spine, we can stand on the right side of history. 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 7: It is completely unacceptable to make that statement withdrawn and 64 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 7: apologize to leave the house for the rest of the week. 65 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: So there's all this whohad disruption in New Zealand's Parliament 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: miles away from the conflict. The question is not where 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: the New Zealanders and New Zealanders are outraged by what's 68 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: happening in Garza. Clearly all parties in Parliament are aligned 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: on that. They've all said. So the question is whether 70 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: this country of five million people, adding its name to 71 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: the majority of countries who already recognize the state of 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: Palestine will actually change anything for those starving kids. In 73 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: order for Palestine to get full UN membership, the US 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: must agree, the White House must agree, and they have 75 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: veto on the Security Council. So this gesture would be symbolic, 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: performative even and as Winston keeps pointing out, not a 77 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: solution without its complexities. So then the question becomes are 78 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: politicians dressing up and shouting at each other at the 79 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: bottom of the world actually helping the situation for those 80 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: children on the ground or not? 81 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: Ryan Bridge? 82 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: After five news talk SB, We'll get to the sailing 83 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,559 Speaker 2: yet next I should say, there yachting batteries on board 84 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: the America's cup, folks?

But you know, this is a real 113 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 8: significant moment for women in the sport of sailing. You know, 114 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,679 Speaker 8: in Pure America's Cup terms, it's the most substantial step 115 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 8: forward that we've seen towards creating equal opportunities for female 116 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 8: sailors and it really opens that door for more women 117 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 8: to pursue professional sailing careers at the highest level. Yeah, 118 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 8: that's great. 119 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: Is there a strong community of women in the sport 120 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: ready to go? 121 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 8: Yes, we believe so, you know, but you know, there's 122 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 8: no denying that there's still a long way to go 123 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 8: before our sport is to truly representative across all levels. 124 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 8: But not on in New Zealand has been working on 125 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 8: a woman and Girls strategy for the last five years 126 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 8: and we believe we're really making some strong progress in 127 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 8: our junior space with our women and girls in sailing strategy. 128 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 8: We've been focusing on tailoring programs and pathways specifically for 129 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 8: girls and really sharing those resources all across the country. Well, 130 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 8: with that strategy, Oh sorry. 131 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: Sorry, what job will they do on board do you reckon? 132 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 8: That's a really good question. I mean, there's opportunity with 133 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,119 Speaker 8: the fact that there's no grinders now will even things 134 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 8: up physically, So I believe they can do any job 135 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 8: on the boat. They're doing any jobs on the boats 136 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 8: now and other realms. 137 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: How why not captain the thing? And what about what 138 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: about the fact that they are using batteries? I can't 139 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: get my head around this is it? I mean, is 140 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: it still sailing if you've got what are the batteries for? 141 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: Can they not just use the wind there? 142 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 8: So we don't need the grinders on the boat. It 143 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 8: will even the playing field physically, absolutely, And so then 144 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 8: it comes down to how you set your sails and 145 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 8: how you get your boat around the course as fast 146 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 8: as possible and be in front of that other. 147 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: Boat, because how much of it will be batteries, how 148 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: much of it will be wind. 149 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 8: It's probably getting a bit technical for me, but I mean, 150 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 8: obviously the windows is the power, but we do need 151 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 8: the power to control and obviously those boats are very large, 152 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 8: so they do need a lot of power to move 153 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 8: the sails around and throw the boat into places where 154 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 8: you want them to go. So the batteries will be 155 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 8: very important. But so we're having the right heads on 156 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 8: the boats and racing the boats properly. 157 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: Who do you think we might see what female sailors? 158 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: Have you got any names for us that we might 159 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: see on board Team New Zealand. 160 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 8: Wow, we've got some fantastic female sailors that are you know, 161 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 8: chomping at the bits for more professional opportunities.

Unsure where this 176 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: one's come from, but she's now claiming that at the 177 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: youth justice facilities across the country run by ordering a Tambadiki, 178 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: that there's massive meth problems. And the Children's Commission, which 179 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: is actually the one that monitors what's going on inside 180 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: these facilities, they've come out and said, I don't know 181 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: where that's come from. We haven't seen any evidence of that. 182 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: Minister's come out and said we haven't seen any evidence 183 00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: of that either. So fight clubs, she says, fight club 184 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: and huge meth use? Where'd she get that from? 185 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: Rain Bridge? 186 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: Could we be better using our electricity? Well, how do 187 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: we get better use? I should say, out of electricity 188 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 2: in our homes? Heat pumps could ease some of our 189 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 2: energy woes. A report from the Green Building Council shows 190 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: KIWIS could save up to one and a half billion 191 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: bucks off our annual energy bills if we moved to 192 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 2: full heat pump adoption. It would also help out with 193 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 2: gasplay issues. Richard Briggs is with EKE, the Energy Efficiency 194 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: Authority and joins me. Now, Richard, good morning, good morning, Ryan, 195 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: how are you very good, thank you. So what is 196 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: how much would we save? You know, give us a 197 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: per household, your average household. What are we saving. 198 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 6: On a heat pump? So you know, the way the 199 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 6: heat pump works is that it's basically moved ambient heat 200 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 6: and compresses it rather than using electrical resistance to generate it. 201 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 6: Typically they are about three and a half times more 202 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 6: efficient than a resistive heater. So when you look at 203 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 6: it on a national level, yeah, that's a significant amount 204 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 6: of energy efficiency. About sixty percent of homes use a 205 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 6: heater today. They cost around four thousand dollars to buy, 206 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 6: so they're not cheap. They're quite expensive, but very very 207 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 6: cheap to run, significantly cheaper than a resistance heater. So 208 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 6: probably savings in the order of about one hundred and 209 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 6: eighty dollars a year per household. 210 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: So it's significant. But the problem is the upfront cost, right, 211 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: That's that's why people haven't switched. 212 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 6: Yes, you know, what you've got to look at when 213 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 6: you look at these appliances is if you're in the 214 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 6: position to be able to do so, is to look 215 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 6: at the total life cost of those you know, typically 216 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 6: appliances that are more energy efficient, higher upfront cost, but 217 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 6: the operating costs are so much lower that when you 218 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 6: look at it over a period of time that significant 219 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 6: savings can be made. 220 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: And in terms of the increased demand for electricity, I mean, 221 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: if everyone switched to a heat pump, we'd be using 222 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 2: more electricity. Presumably would that push the price up? 223 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 6: Well, you've got to look at the If everyone uses 224 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 6: more electricity, of course the price goes up. But the 225 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 6: conversations we're seeing that the market at the moment is 226 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 6: all about more supply. We just need more supply, and 227 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 6: you know, by increasing supply does come at a cost, 228 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 6: and that cost ends up with the bill payer. But 229 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 6: our role is the government lead agency on energy use. 230 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 6: We're focusing on the demand side, and so we need 231 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 6: to ensure that the energy we do have available now 232 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 6: is used efficiently and heat punch is a good example 233 00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 6: of that. But every killer, whatever you don't use it 234 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 6: is a killer. What hour that doesn't need to be 235 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 6: generated and distributed? So there's the savings to be made, 236 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 6: and so you know we've identified through modeling that right 237 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 6: now is up to twenty percent of what we consume 238 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 6: today across homes and businesses can be reduced and that's 239 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 6: a combination of more efficient appliances. I mean, everyone eats 240 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 6: their homes today and if they transferred to a heat pump, 241 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 6: there'd be that savings, yeah, which is a significant amount 242 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 6: of reduction. When you look at new generation, you're probably 243 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 6: looking at a cost of around sixty to seventy dollars 244 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 6: a Mega what hour, whereas energy efficiency measures would cost 245 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 6: New Zealand probably the magnitude of fifteen to fifty dollars 246 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 6: a Mega what hour. So it's actually better to use 247 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 6: energy more efficiently than just to seek to generate more 248 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 6: than use it inefficiently. 249 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: Richard, appreciate your time this morning. Interesting stuff. Richard Briggs 250 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 2: with the Energy Efficiency and Conservational Authority ECA. It is 251 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 2: twenty four minutes after five on News Talks YB. I 252 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 2: tell you what you should do to make your thing 253 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: run better and more efficiently. It is clear the dust 254 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 2: out of it and did that yesterday? Geez filled the 255 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: bin twenty four after five. 256 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: The early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio Power by News. 257 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: Talks AV News Talks B twenty six minutes after five. 258 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: People have been looking at the poles and it was 259 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: at home yesterday looking at all the stories about the polls. 260 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: I don't think people are telling polsters that they would 261 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: vote for labor because they would actually vote for labor. 262 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: Labour hasn't got any policies. They are an empty vessel. 263 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: It's captain still, according to most recent polling, less popular 264 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: than Luxen. This is a protest vote. They're telling the 265 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: Prime Minister, hey, hurry up and do something else to 266 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 2: rescue the economy that the last lot and the trade 267 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: will have suppressed. You don't throw the baby out with 268 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: the bathwater and back a team that has no plan. 269 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: That clown, literally a clown that's running in the Wellington 270 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: meryal race, has more policies than hipkins. Right now, he 271 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: wants to turn the base and Reserve into a swamp. 272 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: Sure it's mad, but at least it's a policy. Late 273 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: last year and earlier this year, the recovery was on track. 274 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: It was heading in the right direction. That we got 275 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: hit by Trump's Liberation Day. Confidence and investment took a 276 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: massive hit. The markets were in free fall. Remember that 277 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago, but you do forget. It's 278 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: thrown everything. Of course, now you can argue that National 279 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: went too hard and fast on cutting the spending and 280 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: stopping infrastructure projects. But at the same time they were 281 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: voted in to stop wasteful spending on dumb stuff. That's 282 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 2: what we asked them to do. Many think that hasn't 283 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: actually gone far enough. Just yesterday we learned of one 284 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 2: hundred jobs going at the Reserve Bank, which under Adrian 285 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: or wanted a budget of more than a billion dollars 286 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: and to keep twice the number of staff that they 287 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: started the pandemic with. Does that sound reasonable to you? 288 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: This comes down to a question of who is best 289 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: place to invest in this country, the private sector or 290 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: the state. The answer of courses a bit of both, 291 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: but it's chicken or egg stuff right now. One thing 292 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: is for sure. If the only thing capable of keeping 293 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: this country afloat is government borrowing like the last lot did, 294 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 2: then we'll only ever end up back in this same 295 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: position over and over again. The medicine needed to dig 296 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: us out of this hole is nasty, tastes, disgusting, completely unpalatable, 297 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: but the disease it's treating was worse. Brian twenty eight 298 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: minutes after five news talks, he'd been nine two nine 299 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: two is the number to text Ryan. The crew on board. 300 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: The ac boats are now just decoration. This is about 301 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: the changes to America's cup, says Andy. They now just decoration. 302 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: They could easily be sailed remotely by shore based personnel. 303 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: Interesting point. I mean you got boats with batteries, no 304 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: one actually you know, working hard on board, just steering 305 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 2: the ship. Maybe you could do it remotely. Maybe they'll 306 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 2: have remote controls one day, Johnny says Ryan. I love 307 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 2: that women are now on the boats. Finally catching up 308 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,719 Speaker 2: twenty nine minutes after five News Talks VB. We'll get 309 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: to Gavin Gray in the UK our reporters next and 310 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: to pooking Up. How much is it really going to 311 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: cost us this shakeup? News Talks VB. 312 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, the news you need this morning and the in 313 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and one Roote 314 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: Love Where you Live News talkst B. 315 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome to your Wednesday. Twenty four minutes away 316 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: from Sixpenny Simmons, the Minister vocational, talking about to Pookinger 317 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 2: on changes big changes that the cheese made and she 318 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 2: had a warning from Treasury. Actually it could be more 319 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: expensive that and otherwise would have been She's with us 320 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: before sex. Gavin Gray in the UK before that too. 321 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 2: I see Wayne Brown's calling for his bed tax again. 322 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 2: It's not going to happen. Government's not interested. But there 323 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 2: you go, front page Herald this morning and loads of 324 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: people texting in about the heat pump. We were talking 325 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 2: to Eca and this one from this is an example. 326 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: For you four thousand dollars to install a heat pump, 327 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 2: Ryan one hundred and eighty dollars annual savings from doing so. 328 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: It would take you twenty plus years to recoup the costs. 329 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: This thing would need replacing twice over that timeframe. So 330 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: the economics just don't work out. And this is the 331 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: people who have got electric heaters as opposed to heat pumps. 332 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,959 Speaker 2: It's a good point. Twenty three to six bread our 333 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 2: reporters around the country. Calum Procter Andnedin this morning. Calum, 334 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 2: good morning. All right, hey, farmers are happy with this 335 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 2: extension to the water consents down there?

But these amendments 340 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 7: to the Resource Management Act mean that consense granted since 341 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 7: March twenty twenty for periods under six years, will now 342 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 7: automatically be renewed for another five years. Federated Farmers has 343 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 7: told us that the extension will provide farmers with confidence 344 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 7: to keep investing in their businesses and make environmental improvements. 345 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 7: But at this stage it's only a short term solution. 346 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 2: Okay, callum, how's your weather?

Yeah. 354 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 10: This is on the back of that big review that 355 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 10: was launched in twenty twenty two. Effectively, Health New Zealand 356 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 10: has now apologized after this big review that Spann and 357 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 10: several years has found significant failings contributing to the murders 358 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 10: by two Hillmorrton Hospital in patients that happened here in 359 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 10: christ Church in twenty twenty two and again in twenty 360 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 10: twenty four. This review has found several failings across our 361 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 10: inpatient service here. Health New Zealand says, look they have 362 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 10: made some progress already on the eighteen recommendations that are 363 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 10: in the report, but the Mental Health Foundation Chief Executive 364 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 10: Sean Robinson says sadly he's not surprised to see how 365 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 10: many issues were found at Hilmorton Hospital. He says it's 366 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 10: the result of just how neglected the mental health service 367 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 10: has been over probably decades, he believes. Now we've spoken 368 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 10: with Katie Neil who works at Hilmorrton Hospital. She says 369 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 10: the inpatient units actually remain understaffed and staff continue to 370 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 10: feel unsafe there. She says, need is definitely outweighing the 371 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 10: amount of available resources. That's both when we talk staffing 372 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 10: and also bed numbers. 373 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: How's your weather, Claire, Really cold. 374 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 10: This morning and foggy, but should clear to We are 375 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 10: fine afternoon.

The Council's forked out over 382 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 5: one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars so far as here 383 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 5: to replace the meters, despite thieves taking just under three 384 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 5: thousand dollars in cash. Head of Environmental Protection Justin Roberts 385 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 5: called the crimes completely pointless as it can cost up 386 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 5: to seven thousand dollars to replace just one meter. Conversion 387 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 5: to card only payments will begin on Monday is expected 388 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 5: to be completed within two weeks. 389 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 2: All right, how's well is weather? 390 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: It's mainly fine today with the chance of morning shower. 391 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 5: Southerlys was easing in the evening, a high of ten 392 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 5: degrees today. 393 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,239 Speaker 2: Nice one, Thank you Lachlan. Good to see you. And 394 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: let's go to Neva who has news out of Auckland 395 00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 2: for us this morning. 396 00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: Would welcome back. 397 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: You never tell us what's Wayne Brownie wants this. It's 398 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: not going to happen, but he wants to. 399 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 11: Yeah, look he's saying it again. Come on now, calling 400 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 11: on the government consider this bid tax. Yes, that's right, 401 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 11: it's the lead in the herald this morning. So the 402 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 11: Auckland Mayor's claiming this would be a vital step towards 403 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 11: revitalizing the city struggling economy. Brown says there's no reason 404 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 11: the government couldn't make a midnight levy. Neugent priority have 405 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 11: it in place by next year. He's saying that, Look, 406 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 11: the sector supports a bed tax and most Aucklanders do too. 407 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 11: But you're right, it's back and forth, back and back 408 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 11: and forth. 409 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: And they just keep saying no. I think they need 410 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 2: to rebrand it. It's got the word tax in it, 411 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 2: which National doesn't like of course, because it makes it 412 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 2: sound like, you know, they're going to increase taxes on people, 413 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 2: so they just need to reach a levy. Maybe that's right. 414 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 11: And I think too after last week when the unemplrovement 415 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 11: figures came out in Simon Bridges, you know, Auckland had 416 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 11: that six point one, had a huge increase in unemployment 417 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 11: and thought, come on, something's got to happen. So he's 418 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 11: jumped on that bandwagon as well. 419 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 2: I think they're all on board. How's our weather okay? 420 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 11: Fine, morning frosts, a bit of a chilli start.

She flew into the UK 461 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 9: as part of a plot to attack a British family 462 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 9: in Birmingham back in twenty nineteen. This would have come 463 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 9: to court earlier, but she then went on the run 464 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 9: for just about five years. Her co conspirators, Mohammed Nazir 465 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 9: and Muhammed Aslam, were involved in a family feud with 466 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 9: the intended target Betro wore a knee cab on the 467 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 9: day of the shooting to disguise herself and then fired 468 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 9: shots at the target.

You research on kets and dementia. 473 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 9: Yes, well it's long being wreckedgize that elderly cats often 474 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 9: do suffer from dementia, and now scientists at the University 475 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 9: of Edinburgh in Scotland have discovered the way felines developed 476 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 9: dementia is similar to humans with Alzheimer's disease, and the 477 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 9: experts at the university carried out post mortem brain examinations 478 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 9: on twenty five cats which had symptoms of dementia in 479 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 9: their lives, and they found a build up of amyloid beta. 480 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 9: That's a toxic protein which appears to block the junctions 481 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 9: of brain cells and reduces the flow of messages between 482 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 9: those brain cells. It leads to reduce memory and cognitive abilities. 483 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 9: The scientists studying Alzheimer's have used genetically modified rodents in 484 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 9: the past for studies, but they don't naturally suffer from 485 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 9: dementia rodents, so using cats to study the conditions is 486 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 9: leading to hopes of a breakthrough in research for both 487 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 9: cause and cure. 488 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: Well, that would be a promising development, and Dave Gevin 489 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: appreciate that.

Yes, but we 504 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 12: had a range of advice from Treasury over a number 505 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 12: of months, and more recent advice than what they gave 506 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 12: us in March as well. 507 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 13: What did the more recent advice say, look Treasuries concern, 508 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 13: of course, is whether the sort of work that we've 509 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 13: been doing, the financial work we've been doing over the 510 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 13: last eighteen months with financial advisors with each polytechnic getting 511 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 13: their pathway to viability, whether the polytechnics would be able 512 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 13: to undertake that. 513 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 12: That's why we pushed the decisions outright till July, to 514 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 12: make sure that we could see they were making progress 515 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 12: on those pathways to viability. So if we did nothing, 516 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 12: Treasury would be quite right, there'd be quite a high 517 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 12: level of risk. But we haven't done nothing. We've spent 518 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 12: eighteen months, as I said, with financial advisors working with 519 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 12: each individual polytechnique, getting rid of programs that aren't viable, 520 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 12: getting rid of excess at staffing levels, reducing unnecessary expenditure, 521 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 12: and bringing discipline back to and a business like operation 522 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 12: back to the polytechnic. So that work that we've been doing, 523 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 12: as well as identifying over one hundred million dollars worth 524 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 12: of unused or underused assets that need to be sold 525 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 12: as well and sourcing the additional twenty million that we 526 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 12: reprioritize from back office TC to port some of the 527 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 12: unviable strategic provision that we need in certain geographic regions, 528 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 12: but also that we need for our specific delivery and 529 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 12: for example, forestry and the primary sector. So we've done 530 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 12: a lot of work to make sure that the polytechnics 531 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 12: are in the best possible financial state to stand up. 532 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 13: So we will still got a lot to do. 533 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: We won't need to subsidize any of them. 534 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 12: We've still got a lot of work to do on 535 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 12: how much that aren't stood up? 536 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: How much real thatful? Because the contingency is one hundred 537 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: and sixty odd million, right, one hundred. 538 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 12: And fifty seven. No, we're not anticipating having to go 539 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 12: beyond that. We're hoping we won't have to use. 540 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 13: All of that. 541 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: Okay, let's say we use one hundred and fifty seven 542 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 2: million of contingency. That's a lot of money. Will will 543 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 2: these polytechs be in a better financial position after we've 544 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 2: spent that money than they would before we spent it. 545 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 12: Yes, they will because we've done all this work. And 546 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 12: remember that Taepoukinga had said they needed nearly another billion 547 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 12: dollars over the next ten years to be operational. 548 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: So what about this thing the Greens are saying that 549 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: they're disestablishing some of them in person teaching, including cutting 550 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 2: some programs. This is a Northland around forestry and horticulture, 551 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: is that true. 552 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 12: That's the work that we're putting the twenty million into 553 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 12: areas that we need to keep face to face in 554 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 12: areas like the Far North and the East Coast where 555 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 12: there are a high number of young people not in 556 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 12: educational employment. 557 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: So you won't cut There'll be a guarantee you won't 558 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: cut in person teaching of horticulture and forestry in the 559 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: North and. 560 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 12: In the East if the numbers are there to do it. 561 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 12: But we're not going to subsidize courses that have got 562 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 12: two or three people in them. That just doesn't make sense. 563 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 12: So if there are numbers, if there's demand for the 564 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 12: courses and they're not viable because of the nature of 565 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 12: the delivery, then that's what the Strategic Fund is for. 566 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: Penny, appreciate your time.

What 573 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: is a What makes sailing sailing? That's my question this morning, 574 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 2: because you've got batteries on board these boats. 575 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 14: Now you've always had batteries on board I mean doing 576 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 14: what well, I mean, it depends on what sort of 577 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 14: sailing boat. I mean, do you think that it's not 578 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 14: eighteen thirty five? You realize when they run radios and 579 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 14: electronics on board the boat and stuff. 580 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: These batteries are power helping you. 581 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 14: Yeah, they replace the cyclaws. 582 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 2: So are they sailing boats? 583 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 14: Yes, well, if it's got a sail, I mean you 584 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 14: could argue they've they've had a wing for a long 585 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 14: period of time and really it's just an aeroplane wing, 586 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 14: which is not a sale of it's not a sail 587 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 14: then it's not a sailboat. But they're not calling it 588 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 14: a sail boat. They're calling it sailing or yachting. It 589 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 14: is a yacht, and a yacht is something that's X 590 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 14: long with a thing that sticks up that catches the 591 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 14: win coaches. The interesting thing, I'll tell you what's Grant 592 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 14: Dotton's on the program this morning, by the way, what's 593 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 14: interesting about it? For me is that, Well, there's a 594 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 14: couple of things that are interesting. They've got a cost 595 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 14: cap in bold, which is very F one, and they've 596 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 14: also got which may or may not. I'm interested to 597 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 14: find out, because if there's a criticism of the America's 598 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 14: Cup at the moment, it's that they don't get the 599 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 14: entries they used to and so it's prohibitively expensive to enter. 600 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 14: You don't want a thousand people entering, but you want 601 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 14: probably more than four or five, you know what I mean. 602 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 14: If you look at F one, F one's got ten 603 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 14: teams expanding to eleven. So the demand's there. I just 604 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 14: don't know the demand is there at that level of 605 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 14: the America's Cup for you know, six, seven, eight, nine 606 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 14: potential contenders to get and which is what you want. So, 607 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 14: in other words, you want to contest at the start 608 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 14: that you can work out. You've got no idea how 609 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 14: it's going to unfold, which is what makes it interesting. 610 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 14: The other thing is the women on board. And the 611 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 14: problem with putting a woman on board and mandating a. 612 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 2: Woman is every go no, no. The point is do 613 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 2: they get there a woman? 614 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 6: Do they know? 615 00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 14: Do they get there? 616 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: But on their own? 617 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 14: So in other words, I don't see a gender issue 618 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 14: in sailing or yachting at all, do you. 619 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 2: Well, there was when you had the cyclist because physical 620 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 2: that's physical power. 621 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 14: But I mean, if you earn your way on board, 622 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 14: you deserve to be there. 623 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: But if you're appointed, it's a quota system. 624 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 14: So you know, so the same way you put a 625 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 14: woman on the board. 626 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 2: Should a woman be on the. 627 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 14: Board, absolutely if they're good enough to be on the board, 628 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 14: But are you appointed because of. 629 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 2: Your argument would be that you create a pathway? You know, 630 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 2: I know what you're doing. 631 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 14: But I mean, if you are the woman on board 632 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 14: the boat, you're there because you're brilliant, or the year 633 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 14: there because someone changed some rules and bang, there you go, 634 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 14: you got a job. 635 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying. It's the latter, you know 636 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. 637 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 14: So anyway, so we'll talk to Grant about that and 638 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 14: other matters the morning. And we've got good news and 639 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 14: bad news on the How goods know. 640 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: This hotel and close to you to absolutely brilliant, looking 641 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 2: forward to looking forward to it, Mike.
