We'll get I 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 3: have a lot of explaining to do and I will 13 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 3: get to that when I get a chance. But listen 14 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 3: on this. Here's a thought. There would not be a 15 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 3: drama today about the Breakers basketball team not wanting to 16 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 3: wear the rainbow flag on their jerseys if the basketball 17 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 3: league had stayed out of politics in the first place. Now, 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 3: if you haven't caught up on this, there is unnecessary 19 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: upset today because it's emerged that the entire Breakers team 20 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: will not wear that little rainbow Pride Progress flat on 21 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: their jerseys during Pride Round next year because some of 22 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: the players don't want to religious and cultural reasons. Apparently, 23 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 3: so because some of the players don't want to, the 24 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: whole team won't. Now, as you can imagine, this has 25 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 3: absolutely blown up, and it has led to accusations of homophobia, 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 3: accusations of bigotry, accusations of cowardice, and look, I don't know, 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: maybe all those accusations are right, but this didn't have 28 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: to happen. They didn't have to have this drama if 29 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 3: they hadn't tried to get all of the players to 30 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: wear a symbol that you can guarantee some players wouldn't 31 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: want to wear, because statistically that had to be a possibility. 32 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 3: When you have maybe I don't know, one hundred and 33 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 3: fifty or so players rostered on for any particular season, 34 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: it would have to be a possibility that some of 35 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 3: them wouldn't want to wear it. Now, I don't think 36 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 3: that this kind of rainbow washing helps anyone. There is 37 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: no need for a random sports league to run any 38 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 3: kind of a week, whether it be Pride Week or 39 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: Indigenous Week or Women's men strual Rights Week. I don't 40 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 3: know what kind of we You just don't need it. 41 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: Maybe it sells a few tickets, Probably not a lot, 42 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: but it can backfire, and it has backfired in this case. 43 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: So now instead of looking inclusive to the rainbow community, 44 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: the NBL looks a complete opposite and has accusations of 45 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: homophobia coming at it. Now, you would have thought that 46 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 3: everyone under the sun would have learned from the mass 47 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: of rugby league debarcle three years ago when those seven 48 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: manly players refused to wear the pride jersey, and yet 49 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: the basketball team decided all the Basketball League decided to 50 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: start up its own Pride Week the very next year, 51 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 3: having learnt nothing. Now, I say this all of the time, 52 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: and I will say this again. Sports needs to stay 53 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: out of politics. There is no real upside in it 54 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: and there's way too much downside. And this is a 55 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: case in point. 56 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: Either du plus Ellen nine two nine two is. 57 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: The text number. Standard text fees apply. 58 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 4: Now. 59 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,399 Speaker 3: The annual New Zealand Health Survey shows that we're stagnating 60 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: when it comes to getting people off the sigis apparently 61 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: seven percent of us are still smoking. Not me, you 62 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: wouldn't believe that. And twelve percent of kiwis in our 63 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: daily vapors, which is three times more than five years ago. 64 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 3: One in three adults are abeese, and just seven percent 65 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: of adults eat the daily recommended amount of Vegetablesine Bradbury 66 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: is from the School of Population Health at Auckland University 67 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: and with us HI Catherine. Does that vaping numbers surprise you. 68 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 5: M. 69 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 6: It does a bit. It's you can see that. It's 70 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 6: it's definitely climbing up. 71 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: Why does it surprise you. 72 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 7: Well, we have made I mean, yes, we're sort of 73 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 7: stagnating a little bit on the daily smokers, but we 74 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 7: have made really good progress over the last ten to 75 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 7: fifteen years getting our smoking numbers down. 76 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 6: But at the same time. 77 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 7: More recently, in particularly our the people number of people 78 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 7: vaping is growing. 79 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you think twenty twenty five smoke free is 80 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: not going to happen? 81 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 7: Yeah? The goal is to get under five percent. I 82 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 7: mean we're pretty close. 83 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, it looks unlikely that we're going to get there. 84 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. 85 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 3: I'm surprised by that only seven percent of people eat 86 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: the recommendeds helping of vegetables. Does that surprise you? 87 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's pretty woeful. Yeah, it is. It is surprising. 88 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 6: I mean it's it's really hardly anyone. 89 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: What is the recommended helping. Is it three vegetables a day? 90 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 7: No, it's actually five to six, so it is quite 91 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 7: a lot. 92 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: Did you eat yours today? 93 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 6: Did I eat mine today? 94 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: Do I count a tomato? Catherine? Because this is controversial, Yes, 95 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 3: you can count. I've had a avocado and I've had 96 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 3: a tomato. I think that's me done. 97 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 6: Yeah. 98 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, Well we've still got dinner to go, so we'll 99 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 7: get a few more on there. 100 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 3: Will you make it by the end of the day? Also, Catherine, 101 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: isn't this a load of bs? Like you don't actually 102 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: need to eat six different helpings of vegetables in one day? 103 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: Do you which made them? 104 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 8: No? 105 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 6: No, it isn't made up. 106 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 7: But the servings are kind of small, Like half a 107 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 7: potato counts as you know, a serving, so that's not Yeah, 108 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 7: so if you have a potato, that's two servings already. 109 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 7: So but still it's indicating really that people are not 110 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 7: you know, getting their vegetables or fruit. Even fruit is 111 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 7: two servings a day and less than half of our 112 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 7: population this meeting that. 113 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, what's going on with the obesity? 114 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, ob citi is still a real problem 115 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 7: in New Zealand, kind of linked I guess to fruit 116 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 7: and vegetables.

Remember when they said to like, we 143 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: all brush out eath twice a day, right, because we're 144 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 3: grown up, so we do it because we've been told. 145 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 3: Now it turns out you and have to do it 146 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: once a day. I always knew that I did it 147 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: two times anyway, because gross. But you only have to 148 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: do it once a day. That was obvious, wasn't it. 149 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: And they say you've got to have eight glasses of 150 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: water a dight. You know, that's BS. That's made up. 151 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: And the ten thousands to day is literally made up 152 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: by the people who are like, how many steps that sounds, Yeah, 153 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 3: we'll do that. Yeah, it's actually only seven thousand. And 154 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: when they say to you have to have six different 155 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 3: vegetables and two different fruits, that's also just made up nonsense, 156 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: you know that. So anyway, I'm not giving you a 157 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: free pass. I'm just telling you go easy on you, 158 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 3: go easy on yourself. You will be okay. And if 159 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: you are, if you do all of the things that 160 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: I said, if you don't do it, you'll end up 161 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: just like me. And that's exactly where you want to be. 162 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: Sounding like this like a sex worker.

Seventeen 175 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: past four. 176 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: Sport with tab power plays better unlocked, bigger odds are 177 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: rating better responsibly. 178 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: And actually on that subject, we have Darcy water Grave 179 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: Sports Talk Coast with us. 180 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 9: Welcome back, Heather, Hello, thank you Darcy. How are you 181 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 9: all right? 182 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: Darcy? This is you did not get into sport broadcasting 183 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: to talk about this kind of stuff. But what's your 184 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: take on it? 185 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 9: Not not really what I'm surprised. I'm all for support 186 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 9: of compromised communities. I get that. That's great. I just 187 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 9: wonder how much tracks in a positive way. It gets 188 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 9: when you're looking at an issue like that, which is 189 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 9: the LBGT community. It's really triggering to a lot of people, yea, 190 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 9: and they can't deal with that. What gets me about this, 191 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 9: I mean my personal views, you know where I sat 192 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 9: around this. But what gives me about this is no 193 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 9: one seemed to learn from what happened with the NRL. Yeah, 194 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 9: no one learned. 195 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 10: Well. 196 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 9: In the NRL, you had the manly See situation where 197 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 9: they had the jerseys with the rainbow on like six 198 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 9: or seven of their athletes heavily religious. When I don't 199 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 9: want to do this, I'm not wearing it, so all 200 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 9: hell break loose gotten? So what happened to that? 201 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 3: After that? 202 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 9: Where's the pride around in the NRL now gone? See Ladder? 203 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 9: So I wonder if the NBL looked at that and said, 204 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 9: we really want to court this kind of controversy. I 205 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 9: know it's coming from a good place. I know they 206 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 9: want to be seen as the good people doing the 207 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 9: right thing. There was a term used today in the 208 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 9: office queer washing, And I can't help by thinking that's 209 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 9: what it is. I don't know how much honesty is 210 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 9: in this from the NRL. They're probably doing it to 211 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 9: be seen to be doing the right thing. So a 212 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 9: lot of people think like that as well, what's it done. 213 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 9: It's just courted controversy again. It's lance the boiling. People 214 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 9: are back off on this again, and it becomes religion 215 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 9: versus culture versus lifestyle, and we go. 216 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: I talk about basketball because I think I'm of my 217 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 3: the same view, which is, had they not had this round, 218 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 3: we would never have known that there were people in 219 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 3: the breakers who felt like this about the Rainbow community. 220 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 9: Yeah, we were horrible that they think like that. It's 221 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 9: really sad because what the rainbo community has got nothing 222 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 9: to do with them doesn't matter. 223 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 3: But on balance, we would have been better off and 224 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: have a better view of. 225 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 9: The m that running away from a situation closing our 226 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 9: ears and three monking it goo. 227 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: I just think it's backfire from a publicity point of view, Yeah. 228 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 9: And probably should have learned that from what happened at 229 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 9: the n L when Dad exploded in their faces as well. 230 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 9: I agree, And it becomes frustrating because then it gets 231 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 9: away from the actual sport, all the good the sports 232 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 9: are doing because they wanted to climb on into this space, 233 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 9: which is it's a fraught space. Let's face it, it's 234 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 9: still pretty modern and trans community and soul on and 235 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 9: so very triggering for a lot of people. 236 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: And it's still really early doors. 237 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 9: So I'd watch their steps. I'd be very careful before 238 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 9: climbing into this and just an expanding on that. What 239 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 9: is it what these sports thems have having all these 240 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 9: weeks celebrating all this? What about basketball week? 241 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 3: Come just do the thing? 242 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 9: Always sing? 243 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 3: Sorry, what's Jesse Rider's form? 244 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 9: Like Jesse Rider's form? He smashed a ton off no 245 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 9: deliveries recently in some competition and didn't he I think 246 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 9: it was. But he's joining us on the show tonight 247 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 9: to talk about coming back to cricket in New Zealand again. 248 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 9: It's the Black Clash and it's not ready cricket. 249 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: Oh, that's the exhibition thing. 250 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 9: It's a it's a bit of summer entertainment down at 251 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 9: the Mount, That's what it is. All the ex cricket 252 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 9: is the X rugby players, a couple of celebrities climb 253 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 9: on and they have a wonderful day. Sports the winner. 254 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 9: In the end, it's a celebration. It's a lot of fun. 255 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 9: Good on them for doing it. It's not particularly my bag. 256 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 9: Every now and I watch it so I think the 257 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 9: acc do hilarious commentary, so I will and seeing someone 258 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 9: like Jesse Rider fling the willow around, that'll be good again. 259 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 9: So he's come back.

They had thirteen motels running at 343 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: the peak of it, with like two hundred and forty 344 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: different families living in it. The Mayor, Tanya Tapsil is 345 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: going to talk us through that after five. Because we 346 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: have everybody who labors shipped in su to put them 347 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 3: in the motels. Have they all shipped themselves back out again? 348 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: That's the question. News is next. 349 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: The day's newspakers talked to Heather first, Heather dupericy Ellen 350 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand and the power of satellite 351 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: Mobile New saucea'd be only want you in. 352 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 2: Okay. 353 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: Winston Peters is going to be with us after five o'clock. 354 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: Now what we're going to talk to him about is 355 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: the final cost of the fairies, because he's he's outlined 356 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: today and here he saved us absolutely billions of dollars 357 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: in negotiating a better deal than Grant Robertson had. Now 358 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: I do not buy it, and I'm going to run 359 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: you through the numbers. So the final cost of the ferries, 360 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: according to Winston, is one point eight six billion dollars, right, 361 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: that's how much he's going to spend, which he says 362 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: is fantastic because Grant Robertson was going to spend two 363 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: point six billion dollars. So he saved us a lot 364 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 3: of money. So let's take his one point eight six 365 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: billion dollars. Now, let's add to it the final cost 366 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 3: of the canceled Irex project, which we've already paid, which 367 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 3: is about seven hundred million dollars. And then let's add 368 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: to it the two hundred and twenty two million dollars 369 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 3: that we've had to pay and break fees to get 370 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 3: out of the South Korean deal, and your final total 371 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: is two point five billion dollars we have saved. Remember 372 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: what was Grant going to spend two point six billion, 373 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 3: and we're spending two point five billion, and what are 374 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 3: we getting for it. We're getting smaller ships and we're 375 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: not getting the upgraded port infrastructure. So I'm not sure. 376 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: Like I said from the very beginning, I do not 377 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 3: think this is a good deal. Find out what Winston's 378 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 3: got to say about it. After five barrysop with us 379 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 3: in ten minutes time, it's twenty four away from five. 380 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: It's the world wires on youth talks. They'd be drive. 381 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 3: So the US Senate has voted unanimously to release the 382 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 3: Epstein files. The bill compelling the Justice Department to release 383 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 3: the files are now going to go to Donald Trump 384 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: for approval. Democrat Representative for New York Dan Goldman says 385 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 3: Trump's u turn is a sign that he knows that 386 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: he's lost this particular battle. 387 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 8: If it came to the floor, many many were going 388 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 8: to vote for it, and so Donald Trump realized what 389 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 8: was going to happen and quickly tried to get out 390 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 8: in front of it rather than to get run over 391 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 8: by it. And so now he's taking this posture that, oh, 392 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 8: we just want to move on now. 393 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: Speaking of Trump, he had a meeting with Saudi Crown 394 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: Prince Muhammad bin Salman in the Oval office. When an 395 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 3: ABC reporter asked about the death of the journalist Jamal Kashogi, 396 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 3: Trump wasn't happy. 397 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 15: As far as this gentleman is concerned. He's done a 398 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 15: phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. People 399 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 15: didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you 400 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 15: like him or didn't like him. Things happened, but he 401 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 15: knew nothing about it. 402 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 2: Then we can leave it at that. 403 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 3: And finally be a little Veggie might victor murderer, and 404 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 3: Victoria wants to state to overturn the ban on Veggie 405 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 3: might in prisons, the spread is banned because of fears 406 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 3: that inmates will use the strong smell to disguise illegal 407 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 3: alcohol brewing operations, but one man serving a life sentence 408 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 3: has launched court proceedings saying he's entitled to enjoy his 409 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 3: culture as an Australian even while he's incarcerated, and that 410 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: means Veggie. 411 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: Mate International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance peace of 412 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 413 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 3: Jonathan Kursley US corresponds with us, Jonathan, can you get 414 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 3: the VEGGI mighting in the States? 415 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 11: In some places? Yes, you can. You can get that 416 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 11: delicious black spread that goes wonderfully on a nice little 417 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 11: English muffin or a slice of toast in the morning. 418 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 11: It's it's a little pricey over here. I think you're 419 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 11: looking at about fifteen sixteen New Zealand dollars for a 420 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 11: small jar or of it, So it's pretty pricey. So 421 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 11: we tend to ask our nice friends in Australia to 422 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 11: send them over when they can. 423 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: It's all right, listen, how long before these Epstein files 424 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: are actually released? 425 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 14: Then? 426 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 11: Well, that's the question that everybody's asking is when are 427 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 11: they going to be released. Obviously, it's past the House. 428 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 11: The Senate has unanimously agreed to pass it, so when 429 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 11: it goes before the Senate tomorrow, it'll zip through and 430 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 11: go straight to Donald Trump's desk. He will then likely 431 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 11: cite it, he has said he very much intends to, 432 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 11: and then it's over the Department of Justice to work 433 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 11: on the release of the Epstein files. Now, there could 434 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 11: be one other roadblock left in the way of the 435 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 11: release of these files, and that is that the President 436 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 11: himself had ordered the Department of Justice and his Attorney 437 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 11: General Pambondi to look into Epstein's links with Democrats. If 438 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 11: that investigation has started, then that could theoretically mean the 439 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 11: Department of Justice cannot release any documents as part of 440 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 11: an ongoing investigation, so it may have to wait until 441 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 11: that investigation finishes before any documents can be released. So 442 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 11: this is very very much a political bon fight that 443 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 11: goes right to the top of America's seat of power. 444 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 11: The president's backflip on this on initially not stalling on 445 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 11: the release of these documents has caused him some political pains, 446 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 11: so he changed his mind. He told Republicans to back 447 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 11: it end. He told them to get the bill to 448 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 11: his desk so that he could sign it and see 449 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 11: what's released. And he's also putting pressure on Democrats now too, 450 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 11: basically cautioning them there could be material in this that's 451 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 11: bad for you too. Already, the House Oversight Committee is 452 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 11: releasing some material relating to the Democrat leader in the House, Jefferies, 453 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 11: and documents that were sent by Epstein about donations to 454 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 11: his campaigns that Jeffrey King Jeffries has said he's got 455 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 11: no recollection of. So this is now a political fight 456 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 11: that is in brawling all sides, But the focus is 457 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 11: very much going to be on whether those documents are 458 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 11: going to be released and when they are, what's in them. 459 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 3: That business with NBS was uncomfortable for me, was it 460 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 3: for you? 461 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 14: Yeah? 462 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 11: It was an interesting watch. Was the first time MBS 463 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 11: Muhammed been someone who's been in the White House since Trump. 464 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 11: One point o back in twenty eighteen, it was months 465 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 11: before the murder of journalist Jamal Kashogghi that the CIO 466 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 11: eventually pointed the finger of blame at straight at MBS 467 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 11: and said that he had orchestrated this murder. And we 468 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 11: saw that exchange that you played just before with ABC 469 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 11: America journalist Mary Bruce, essentially putting it to Jamal Kashoggi, 470 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 11: how could Americans trust him? That the families of nine 471 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 11: to eleven victims were disgusted that he was inside the 472 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 11: Oval Office, and then President Trump launched into this staunch 473 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 11: defense of MBS and then at the same time attacking 474 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 11: the journalist as well, describing her as a horrible reporter 475 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 11: and threatening to withdraw ABC's license for being what he 476 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 11: called fake news. It was a very very interesting exchange 477 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 11: inside the Oval Office. There have been many of these 478 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 11: since the inauguration on January twenty. This, though, will be 479 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 11: a marker and it will go down in the history 480 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 11: books to some extent to see the transformation of somebody 481 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 11: who was a pariah for the United States just matter 482 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 11: of the well a couple of years ago or just 483 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 11: before the inauguration, to being welcome back into the Oval 484 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 11: Office with open arms, and then tonight a lavish state 485 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 11: dinner attended by, among others, Elon Musk. 486 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. Very interesting. Hey, thanks very much, Jonathan, appreciate it. 487 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 3: Jonathan Kursley, US correspondent, Hither dul It's eighteen away from five. 488 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: Hither your argument on the Fairies is absolute rubbish, because 489 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 3: you know full well Grant Robertson talks rubbish, and his 490 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 3: final amount would have been about four billion. Look at 491 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 3: may well have been. But I mean, why stop at 492 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 3: four billion? Why not say five billion? Why not six seven, 493 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: eight nine billion? All we knew was two point six billion. 494 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: It's possible, but all we knew was two point six billion. 495 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 3: And if it's two point six billion versus Winston's two 496 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 3: point five billion, I still think it was a better 497 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 3: deal for the two point six billion. Hither. I love 498 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: your honesty. I thought there was something wrong with me 499 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: for not liking the alien music, which is Metallica. We'll see. 500 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 3: I might change my mind. I might come back tomorrow 501 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 3: and be like, wow, how I got that wrong? It 502 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 3: was just so wonderful to hear distorted guitars coming at 503 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 3: me for two hours and people singing about weird stuff. 504 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: I might love it. I might think it was great. Apparently, 505 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 3: the unauthorized biography of Jacinda is selling really, really well, 506 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: so they put out a release today saying they now 507 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 3: they're about to order. In fact, they have I think 508 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 3: they have started their third print run. So how this 509 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 3: has worked? And remember this has only been out for 510 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: eleven days, this book. So the first run of the 511 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 3: book was four thousand, and it's sold out within five days. 512 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 3: So they had a second run of the book. They're 513 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 3: not giving us the numbers on the second run and 514 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 3: the third run, but I think that it's three thousand 515 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 3: and three thousand, So four thousand and three thousand and 516 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: three thousand. So the third run is one thousand copies 517 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 3: of the second run, sorry, is one thousand copies away 518 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 3: from running out. So they've got the third run. So 519 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: what that means is that they have sold already six 520 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: thousand copies. Now that is impressive because in order to 521 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 3: be considered a best salary in New Zealand, you have 522 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 3: to sell five thousand books. They've already done that, and 523 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 3: if they sell completely through the second run and then 524 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 3: the third run, which they've just ordered, they will have 525 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 3: sold ten thousand. That's a double best seller. Now I 526 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 3: know I'm reading it, but then to be i'm reading 527 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: it because I've got sent to copy. I haven't brought 528 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 3: a copy. A girlfriend of mine is reading it. She 529 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: just texts me last night to say she's reading it. 530 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 3: She's gone out and bought it. I started yesterday. I 531 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 3: will tell you David Cohen, who's written the book as 532 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 3: a beautiful writer, so it is a pleasure to read. 533 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 3: He's not hideous about Jacinda, but he's also not fawning 534 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 3: about her. And so I think you're going to from 535 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 3: at least from the first you know, twenty pages or 536 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 3: whatever that I've read, you're going to get I think, 537 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: a much more nuanced and clear eyed view of Jacinda 538 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 3: that isn't just you know, gushing about what an amazing 539 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 3: person she is. For example, he's clearly of the view 540 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: that she hasn't just accidentally become an MP and then 541 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 3: accidentally the Labour Leader and then accidentally the Prime Minister, 542 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 3: like she would like us to believe, like it was 543 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 3: just bestowed upon her. He seems to be more of 544 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 3: the view that she started working towards it from a 545 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: very young age, which is the view I hold as well. Anyway, 546 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 3: first twenty pages can recommend it. I'll let you know 547 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 3: when i'm finished. Sixteen away from five. 548 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: Politics with centric credit, check your customers and get payment certainty. 549 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 8: Listen. 550 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: News has just come out in the last fifteen minutes 551 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 3: as that the government has essentially moved to block puberty 552 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 3: blockers are to ban puberty blockers for kids who are 553 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 3: identifying as trans It's still going to be available for 554 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 3: people who need it for medical conditions like early onset puberty, endometriosis, 555 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. But for kids who need it 556 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 3: in order to could because they believe that their trans 557 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 3: it will not be available. We're going to bid Simeon Brown, 558 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 3: the minister responsible for this, and let you know whether 559 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: he can be on the show today thirteen away from 560 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: five Barry Soapas in your political correspondence with us. 561 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 16: Good afternoon, Heather. What happened to that manlifluous voice that 562 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 16: you once had? 563 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 9: You tried to emulate me? 564 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you bloody? You know what happened to it? 565 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 3: It's too much singing? Okay, Now, Donald Trump, what's going 566 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 3: on here? 567 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 16: Well, you know, we had the news earlier this week 568 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 16: that Trump had reversed the tariffs on beef and offal 569 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 16: and kiwi fruit, which is significant going into the United States, 570 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 16: and I hadn't heard Nikola Willis talk about it, but 571 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 16: Trump said he removed the power at the tariffs because, 572 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 16: of course, grocery prices in the US were rising and 573 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 16: there was political pressure building on them from within, so 574 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 16: clearly the tariffs that were on these products, he decided, 575 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 16: if they're disadvantaging him, then he'll do away with him. 576 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 16: And that that was good news for New Zealand. The 577 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 16: change of heart by Trump has put an additional three 578 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 16: hundred and thirty million dollars a year into the pockets 579 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 16: of exporters, and it's a bit of good news that 580 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 16: I've got to say. That put a smile on the 581 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 16: Finance Minister's face. 582 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 9: Today. 583 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 17: These products represent around twenty five percent of our exports 584 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 17: to the United States, with approximately two point twenty one 585 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 17: billion dollars a year. The removal of these tariffs restores 586 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 17: pre Liberation Day access for exporters and provides some relief 587 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 17: for farmers, processes, and rural communities and the jobs that 588 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 17: they support. This is a positive step in the right 589 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 17: direction for free and competitive trade. 590 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 16: Let's hope it is applied to others before too long. 591 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 16: Epsteam papers heart. That'll be in interesting. I wonder how 592 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 16: a bridged they are when they finally come out. 593 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: You just can't let it go away. 594 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: You can't. 595 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 3: You can't get through without. 596 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 16: Discerning the wonderful president. 597 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 3: You just can't help yourself. Okay, now, I mean, look, 598 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 3: it's clear that we're not going what are we at 599 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 3: six point eight percent of New Zealand as smoke. We're 600 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 3: supposed to get to five percent under five percent by 601 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: the end of the year. We're not going to are we. 602 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 16: You're five percent is considered smoke free, which I always 603 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 16: found incredible anyway that you know, you still had a 604 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 16: percentage of the population smoking. But nevertheless, I think it 605 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 16: is unlikely, clearly by the end of next month, that 606 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 16: we're going to be at five percent. The daily smoking rates, though, 607 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 16: have been falling, and if you look at the breakdown, 608 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 16: the numbers are really interesting. Women are not smoking as 609 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 16: much as men. That comes as a great surprise because 610 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 16: clearly it chose that women have got more a bit 611 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 16: more sense than what their male counterparts have. But Sociate 612 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 16: Health Minis at Casey Castello Home was on her feet 613 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 16: in Parliament today delivering the good news on smoking until 614 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 16: she met the pot calling the kettle black confused. Well, 615 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 16: have a listening, you'll see what I mean. 616 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 18: The smoking rate for fifteen to twenty four year olds 617 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 18: is three point two percent, down from nineteen point one 618 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 18: percent when the survey started. 619 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 3: It's a speaker. 620 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 18: At the broadest level, smoking rates for those age between 621 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 18: forty five and sixty four remain persistently high. It takes 622 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 18: time to shift the behavior of people have been life 623 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 18: long smokers. 624 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: Right on the ball, Winston Peters. 625 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 19: Has she seen that due to the success of this 626 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 19: program there is less tax coming into the treasury of 627 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 19: two hundred million And is that going to the tobacco 628 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 19: companies or is the explanation behind that that someone who 629 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 19: says that is an economic moron? 630 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: She said it. 631 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 8: You're a moral bon bonic turtle molon. 632 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: Hell Louke, that's enough total moral A very brief answer. 633 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 20: Mister speaker. 634 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 18: Yes, we can confirm that there is no tax breaks 635 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 18: for those who understand the economy. 636 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 3: Barry, here's a text fhears from Mike.

Now 666 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 3: this is a modern take on traditional Psalm Woran cuisine. 667 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 3: And apparently it wasn't even a contest. I mean, like 668 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 3: these guys must have eaten their way through Auckland City 669 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: to try to find this play. They reckon that it 670 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 3: took them seconds to decide that Tuller was the best. 671 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 3: This is what they've written about it.

I mean, 843 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 3: I feel like every I'm sorry to say this, but 844 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 3: every single time there's news about gas. It's pretty much 845 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 3: can be summed up with the sentence it's not looking 846 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 3: good for gas. There is a new report that's been 847 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 3: commissioned by the four big power companies. This is done 848 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 3: by the Boston Consulting Group, and they say that what 849 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 3: little gas we have at the moment, we could have 850 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 3: again in the next five years potentially. So you know, 851 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 3: let's not get excited. I think this is the plane 852 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 3: message here. Every time Shane Jones goes out and he 853 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 3: says he's trying to secure more investment and we're digging 854 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 3: in the ground. We don't get excited because the feeling 855 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 3: out there is that there just isn't gas and we 856 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 3: need to be realistic about it. If there is gas, 857 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 3: people don't want to drill for it. We're not going 858 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 3: to get it. And remember, right, this is coming off 859 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 3: the back of what's already happened. So between twenty fifteen 860 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 3: and now, which is ten years, the gas supply has halved, 861 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 3: the prices that we pay for gas has doubled, and 862 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 3: you can do that again. You can have it again 863 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 3: in the next five years. And what do you think 864 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 3: the price is going to do in the next five years. 865 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 3: So yeah, if you've got the gas and you're relying 866 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 3: on it, you might want to start thinking about that again. 867 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 3: Right next up, let's we're going to go to one 868 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 3: of the bars, because apparently the bars are going absolutely 869 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 3: nuts at the minute because of Metallica.

He's going to talk 1011 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 3: us through it after the half past five news. It's 1012 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,919 Speaker 3: twenty four past five. 1013 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 14: Now. 1014 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 3: If you don't take away anything from that Business New 1015 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 3: Zealand report on what this country needs to do in 1016 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,439 Speaker 3: the next few decades, take this away. Our population must 1017 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 3: double in size to ten million in the next thirty 1018 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 3: five years. 1019 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 8: Now. 1020 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 3: Business New Zealand's reason for this is that it's because 1021 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 3: we're facing a la labor shortage. We could be potentially 1022 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 3: short a quarter of a million people and we run 1023 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,439 Speaker 3: the real risk that we might stop growing population wise 1024 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 3: in the next few decades. Business New Zealander is of 1025 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 3: course not the first group to say this. You might 1026 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 3: recall even Simon Bridges said it a couple of years back. 1027 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 3: I suspect Business New Zealand is going to run into 1028 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 3: the same trouble that Simon did when he said it, 1029 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 3: which is that your average voter is going to say 1030 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 3: no because they don't want any more migrants crowding cities 1031 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 3: and taking houses, and politicians, the average politicians just going 1032 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 3: to ignore it because they can't be fact coming up 1033 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 3: with the infrastructure and the housing and the population plans 1034 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 3: that you need to prepare for that many people coming 1035 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 3: into the country. But let me tell you something. This 1036 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 3: needs to happen, and it's simply because we are not 1037 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 3: having enough babies of our own. One day. They need 1038 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 3: to become workers, and they need to become taxpayers, and 1039 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 3: they need to help pay the country's bills. Right now, 1040 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 3: we have just look at the superannuation problem we've got 1041 00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 3: right right now, we have four and a half workers 1042 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 3: supporting every single pension and drawing superannuation from the government. 1043 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 3: In the next three decades or so, which is my lifetime, 1044 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 3: your lifetime, all of our lifetimes, it's only going to 1045 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,760 Speaker 3: be down to two workers. That's unsustainable. But also bigger 1046 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 3: is better. I mean, you basically heard that from the 1047 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 3: bar just before. More people means we can afford better infrastructure, 1048 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 3: We can afford better trains. We can afford more tunnels, 1049 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 3: more bridges. We'll have more vibrant cities. We'll have more 1050 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 3: top quality restaurants, more clever young people doing innovative things. 1051 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 3: More artists come and stop here because there are enough 1052 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 3: people wanting to buy tickets in one location instead of 1053 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 3: forcing us to do an oasis and fly to Melbourne 1054 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 3: to see them. Business New Zealand is right, we do 1055 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 3: need ten million people, but my guess is no one's 1056 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,839 Speaker 3: going to tell them that they're right, and no one's 1057 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 3: going to prepare for it. It will happen, but it 1058 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 3: will happen in the same way that all of our 1059 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 3: population growth has happened, which is unplanned and accidental. 1060 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 2: Forgever do for ce Ellen. 1061 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,760 Speaker 3: I don't know how I feel about this. Apparently Kevin Costner. 1062 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 3: Actually I do know how I feel about this. Kevin 1063 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 3: Costner is considering playing Bill Clinton in a new political 1064 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 3: drama series which is called United. 1065 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 24: Now. 1066 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 3: I'm all about that because I love me a bit 1067 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 3: of Kevin Costner, and I was not upset with the 1068 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 3: Yellowstone that happened, and he fought with everybody and he 1069 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 3: sounded like a complete prat. I was like, oh, well, 1070 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 3: you know what can you do? So I'm I'm happy 1071 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,320 Speaker 3: to watch this. However, the show is going to be 1072 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 3: about the United Nations and it's going to be produced 1073 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 3: in association with the United Nations. Now what does that? 1074 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:54,800 Speaker 12: What? 1075 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 19: Yes? 1076 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 3: That's right? What did your face just do? 1077 00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 12: It? 1078 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 3: Did that thing right? Because who's paying for it is 1079 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 3: the UN paying? How do you feel about the UN 1080 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 3: paying for it? Would it not be better if the 1081 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,840 Speaker 3: UN spent their money actually trying to feed starving children 1082 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 3: and inoculating people and preventing disease instead of just doing 1083 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 3: some pr for themselves. Simeon Brown's next. 1084 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app, and in 1085 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home, it's heather due to 1086 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 1: c Ellen Drive with One New Zealand and the power 1087 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 1: of satellite mobile news talks enbly. 1088 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 3: Apparently the average spent well, yeah, I think it is 1089 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,800 Speaker 3: the average spin The average spend on Christmas presents this 1090 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 3: year is going to be about one hundred and forty dollars. 1091 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 3: We'll talk to Mary Holm, personal finance expert about that. 1092 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 3: After six o'clock. The huddle is standing by right now, 1093 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 3: it's twenty five away from six. Now, it's a big 1094 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 3: move from the government today on the use of puberty blockers. 1095 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,720 Speaker 3: From the nineteenth of December, transgender children will no longer 1096 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 3: have access to puberty block unless they're already using them. 1097 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 3: Puberty blockers, by the way, if you don't know other 1098 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 3: hormones that delay puberty and young people can stop it 1099 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 3: all together. Simeon Brown is the Health Minister and with 1100 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,359 Speaker 3: us Hi, Simon Hi, here the hell are you? And well, 1101 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 3: thank you? Why have you moved to effectively ban them 1102 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 3: all together? 1103 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 25: We are following the evidence from both the CAST report 1104 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 25: and also the Ministry of Health evidence brief from last year, 1105 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 25: which showed there's a lack of high quality evidence that 1106 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,839 Speaker 25: demonstrates the benefits or risks of the use of these 1107 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:33,120 Speaker 25: treatments on children with gender dysphoria or incongruence. And while 1108 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 25: this uncertainty persists, we're taking a precautionary approach for our 1109 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 25: children to make sure that there are strongest safeguards in 1110 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 25: place and effectively, what we're doing is putting in place 1111 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 25: a restriction on the prescribing of these drugs for this purpose, 1112 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 25: to make sure that those who are prescribing look at 1113 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 25: what of the wider range of treatments or things that 1114 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 25: can be done to support those children. 1115 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,040 Speaker 3: Okay, what is the uncertainty is that this is reversible. 1116 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,240 Speaker 25: Well, there's a range of things which has been considered 1117 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 25: as part of the CASTS Report, its impacts in terms 1118 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 25: of a child's development, impacts on terms of the organs, 1119 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 25: and other things which have been considered. Effectively, the evidence 1120 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 25: through the CAST Report and also the Ministry of Health's 1121 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 25: Evidence Brief basically found there's not it. There's been no 1122 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 25: high quality evidence to prove the benefits or risks of 1123 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 25: these treatments, all these drugs for this purpose, and therefore, 1124 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,320 Speaker 25: in terms with the absence of that, we need to 1125 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,399 Speaker 25: take a precautionary approach in these instances, and that's why 1126 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 25: we're following what the UK has done in which we're 1127 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 25: putting a band in place for the prescribing of these drugs. 1128 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, did you not think about an intermediate 1129 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 3: step perhaps where you let it a clinical psychologist or 1130 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 3: somebody who's very well trained make the decision for transgender 1131 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 3: children who are genuinely trans. 1132 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 25: Well, there's a range of other things and services which 1133 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 25: are provided for children who do present to clinicians with 1134 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 25: gender incongruence or gender dysphoria, and we expect those clinicians 1135 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,359 Speaker 25: to continue to work with them and their families. We've 1136 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 25: also made the decision, and are. 1137 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,360 Speaker 3: They able to prescribe puberty blockers. 1138 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 25: No, they won't be able to, but they'll be able 1139 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 25: to consider other interventions, and there's a range of interventions 1140 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 25: that are well, there's a range of psychosocial interventions that 1141 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 25: are provided to support children and their families as they go. 1142 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 2: Through that process. 1143 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 3: Just to be clear, there is nothing that can stop 1144 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 3: them from actually developing into a man or a woman right. 1145 00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 25: Well, effectively, the evidence, as I said, the evidence from 1146 00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 25: both the Cash Report and also the Ministry of Health's 1147 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,359 Speaker 25: Evidence Brief shows a lack of evidence around the safeguards 1148 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 25: in terms of the safety of these particular drugs. 1149 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean that's cool. I understand. What I'm 1150 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,880 Speaker 3: trying to just ascertain is any kind of interventions or 1151 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 3: help that are able to be provided if you don't 1152 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 3: have the puberty blockers. These kids will have to go 1153 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 3: through puberty, will have to become the the gender they 1154 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:01,760 Speaker 3: don't think they are, right. 1155 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,880 Speaker 25: And there's a range of other interventions that can be 1156 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 25: provided for those children through that process as they grow 1157 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 25: older to be able to ensure that they can go 1158 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,360 Speaker 25: through the process and receive that and that's what we 1159 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 25: expect those clinicians to provide those services for them. 1160 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 3: Okay, Now, this is basically essentially an effective pause until 1161 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 3: this clinical trial is completed in the UK. How long 1162 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 3: is that going to take? 1163 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 25: Well, it will take some time. Clinical trials are not 1164 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 25: done overnight, so I imagine that will take probably some years. 1165 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 25: But ultimately the decision has been made in the same 1166 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,360 Speaker 25: way that the UK government has in what some of 1167 00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 25: the Scandinavian countries have done, which is efectively put a 1168 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,360 Speaker 25: pause on the prescribing of these drugs whilst there is 1169 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 25: further evidence collected. The UK government is ahead of where 1170 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 25: we are. They have already started work and putting together 1171 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 25: a clinical trial and once that clinical trial has reported 1172 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 25: its evidence, that will allow the Ministry of Health to 1173 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 25: provide us with further evidence as to what the decision 1174 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 25: should be going forward. 1175 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 3: Right, saman thanks very much for talking us through.

I think 1193 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 24: that this is the most awful area of public policy. 1194 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 24: I think I'm happy to pontificate that what the government 1195 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 24: is doing I think is smart, notwithstanding saying you know, 1196 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,760 Speaker 24: frick it off to the experts when the effect cabinet 1197 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 24: has the following internet, you know, particularly the UK. But 1198 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:25,840 Speaker 24: what governments are doing using the latest clinical information that 1199 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 24: they have been given there is at least a as 1200 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,359 Speaker 24: you know, some people advocate that we will look back 1201 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,200 Speaker 24: on the last few years in the way that young 1202 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 24: people that have questioning sexuality and been arguably or affirmed 1203 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 24: or shepherded into lopping off their breasts or doing terrible things, 1204 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,640 Speaker 24: that one could argue that we could look back on 1205 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 24: the period of the last ten years with horror, which 1206 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,799 Speaker 24: here I am taking a position, but is real. It's 1207 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 24: one I don't really like to get to get into 1208 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 24: because it's just awful treatment of people on both sides. 1209 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 3: Jordan, I don't think that you should feel ashamed of that. 1210 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 3: I think that there are some issues that are just 1211 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 3: so difficult that people don't want to talk about it, 1212 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 3: and it is one of them saying, so, look, I mean, 1213 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 3: this is a it is a difficult subject, but it 1214 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,839 Speaker 3: is It is very difficult to see it as being 1215 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,800 Speaker 3: the right thing to do to allow young people before 1216 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 3: they really are old enough to make decisions to effectively 1217 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 3: sterilize themselves right by preventing their own pabty. 1218 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 10: My view on this is colored a bit by a 1219 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 10: good friend of mine who went through exactly that their 1220 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,399 Speaker 10: child decided that this wasn't the they believed they were 1221 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 10: a different gender, and they started procedures, and then there 1222 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,239 Speaker 10: was a change of sudden. No, I was just going 1223 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 10: through a phase. I don't believe that now. 1224 00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 24: Oh it's just a nightmare, Heather, nightmare. 1225 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 10: Now, that doesn't mean that it couldn't necessarily be youthful, 1226 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,440 Speaker 10: for you know, this is where the psychiatrist and everyone 1227 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 10: else is to has to come into it. I mean, 1228 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 10: anyone you talk to in that area, it is there's 1229 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 10: so many whether it's caused by the dysmorphear or whatever, 1230 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 10: but there are so many issues, mental health issues around 1231 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 10: the whole treatment and preparation. 1232 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you're getting at there sayings it 1233 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 3: was a very salient point, right that there will be 1234 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,320 Speaker 3: a very small number of kids who truly are trans. 1235 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 3: But if we know one thing about kids having been 1236 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 3: kids and raised kids, is that kids convince themselves of 1237 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 3: a thing that they are like their friends, and it's 1238 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 3: very hard to kind of pick apart who really is 1239 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 3: trans and who is just going with the kind of 1240 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 3: trendy thing. Right, that's part of the problem. 1241 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 10: Yep, yeah, I mean, and look, the big the faar 1242 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 10: with it, I suppose was you know, Cayden's steps that 1243 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,279 Speaker 10: certainly that couldn't be reversed or couldn't be dealt with 1244 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,520 Speaker 10: and like in this particular case, it was just it 1245 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 10: was just horrific. 1246 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:56,360 Speaker 3: So was it reversible in the case that you're talking about? Sorry, 1247 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 3: was it reversible in the case that you're talking about? 1248 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 10: Are still going through as she's over there? 1249 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 24: Either? 1250 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, I know that wasn't quite as simple. It wasn't 1251 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,000 Speaker 10: a simple So we'll. 1252 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 3: Take a quick break. I really appreciate it. We'll come 1253 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,280 Speaker 3: back with another subject.

Jordan Williams and Mark Sainsbury Jordan 1259 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,160 Speaker 3: do you buy Winston Peter's argument that he saved billions 1260 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 3: on the fairies? 1261 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 24: Well, I mean they were landed with a pretty terrible 1262 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 24: situation with Kiwi Rail that it totally boils it up, 1263 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 24: and Treasure Advice saying it was going to cost what 1264 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 24: four and a half billion or twice what what TV 1265 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 24: Rail initially said it was going to but of course 1266 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 24: being the government instead of you know, clearing out Kiwi 1267 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 24: Rail and doing a proper job and asking the fundamental question, 1268 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 24: which is why don't the textpayer needed fun fairies? And 1269 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,439 Speaker 24: we've got private operators and the rest of the world 1270 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 24: that do this sort of stuff every day instead. And 1271 00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 24: I can tell you that the text page Union had 1272 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 24: snuffed this out. We discovered about an hour ago that 1273 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 24: in our building, no less, this Fairy Holdings company takes 1274 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 24: up our whole floor. Yeah, so it may have saved billions, 1275 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 24: very good. But instead of sorting out, you know, the 1276 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 24: actual company that's supposed to run the faeries, and you 1277 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 24: know that would presumably include you know, buying them, they've 1278 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 24: created a whole new bureaucracy and a floor on Lampden 1279 00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 24: key of of bureaucrats to manage this classic Wellington. But 1280 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:29,880 Speaker 24: credit credits I. 1281 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 3: Don't remember them. I can't remember the exact figure. But 1282 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,760 Speaker 3: I saw the I saw how much Fairy Holdings is 1283 00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 3: costing us, and it's it's a surprisingly big number. Actually, 1284 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 3: says are were you impressed with the steel? I mean 1285 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 3: bearing in mind, so in the context is it was 1286 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,440 Speaker 3: going to cost labor two point six billions for their fairies. 1287 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 3: It's essentially costing US two point five billion for the steel, 1288 00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:48,760 Speaker 3: which doesn't feel like a massive saving. 1289 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:51,480 Speaker 10: No, and then as he had in the cost of 1290 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:57,120 Speaker 10: Winston flying to China to have a celebratory Yeah, I 1291 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 10: mean next, look, in some ways, maybe it's part of 1292 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 10: the but you're going on and on about all these 1293 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 10: unnecessary costs and these consultants and all these people, who 1294 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 10: are you feeding off the teeth? And then they're going, 1295 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 10: we're all flying over the kind to have. 1296 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 14: Some sort of serum seramony. 1297 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,880 Speaker 24: Well, I think you're being a bit but I'm not 1298 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 24: if you guys know, I'm not one to sort of 1299 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 24: whole fire on Winstone. But the Treasury advice was that 1300 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 24: this was going to this had doubled in cost. 1301 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 2: There was a projection you're the real saving here. 1302 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 3: And that was that a prodiction or was that actually like, 1303 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 3: could they actually give us the receipts for that? 1304 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,040 Speaker 24: They pulled the plug on, and that seemed for you. 1305 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 3: Come on, jan you were you didn't come down in 1306 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 3: a rain shower last night. You know very well that 1307 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 3: Treasury tells you what you want Treasury to tell. 1308 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 24: You, right, So No, I think when they entered off us, 1309 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 24: this was one of the flashing red lights saying Lite, 1310 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 24: you've got to deal with us. 1311 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 3: I mean, there's probably a whole whole chat and how 1312 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,919 Speaker 3: we've lost confidence in treasury saying so is the fault 1313 00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,840 Speaker 3: of the Breakers for not wanting to the Pride flag? 1314 01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 3: Or is it the fault? Is it the fault? Alternative theory? 1315 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,840 Speaker 3: Is it the fault of the NBL the league for 1316 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 3: making a Pride week and creating a situation like this 1317 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 3: the potential for it to happen, you will. 1318 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,840 Speaker 10: I've sort of created and shoehl them into it. Lookay 1319 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,960 Speaker 10: tell you this sort of raised a bit of I second, 1320 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 10: remember old Israel Phalau and yeaht of trouble he got 1321 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,440 Speaker 10: into because I'm sort of reading this thing and I'm 1322 01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,920 Speaker 10: trying to work out so they're trying to protect individual players. 1323 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 10: So obviously there are individual players within the Breakers who 1324 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 10: don't want to wear it, and so to avoid them 1325 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 10: being singled out for not wearing it, they all won't 1326 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 10: wear it. It's just a bit said it take you nowhere, 1327 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 10: isn't it? 1328 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 2: You know? 1329 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 10: I sort of pastor that a bit you don't. Yeah, look, 1330 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 10: I just found the whole thing about trading. But then again, 1331 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 10: I think You've got a point there. They should have 1332 01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,400 Speaker 10: thought this thing through before they put teams into this decision. 1333 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 10: See what you know, the rugby did it during the 1334 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,640 Speaker 10: during the rugby championship, Yeah, the Super Rugby. You know, 1335 01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,920 Speaker 10: there was different themes each each week, and pride was 1336 01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 10: one of those. Ye, it's sort of become part of it. 1337 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 10: But issues and a lot of conservative conservative sports people, 1338 01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 10: well this. 1339 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 3: Is the thing Jordan. And in twenty twenty two, a 1340 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 3: year before these guys started doing it in basketball, the 1341 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,920 Speaker 3: same thing happened in the NRL. So why did they 1342 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 3: not learn from that? 1343 01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 24: Well, I think the open windows shifted a bit on this. 1344 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 24: You know, I would say good on the breakers for 1345 01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:27,680 Speaker 24: doing it, because I'm sorry, it's not homophobia to not 1346 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,280 Speaker 24: go along with what you know, the pride movement and 1347 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 24: what it now is. I mean, you look at I 1348 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 24: have gay staff who don't agree with the Rainbow movement 1349 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,440 Speaker 24: because of where it's gone on the trans issues and 1350 01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,479 Speaker 24: various other file eve activism. But you look at someone 1351 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,040 Speaker 24: like Stephen Rainbow, the Human Rights Commissioner. You know, he 1352 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,960 Speaker 24: was attacked by the despite being the wrong sort of Rainbow, 1353 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,960 Speaker 24: so not subscribing to all the. 1354 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 14: Other activist views. 1355 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 24: Look, I'm sorry, but I mean we see this all 1356 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 24: the time through the Free Speech Union, that government agencies 1357 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 24: think you must be you must be virtuous, you must 1358 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,120 Speaker 24: go along with this pride activism, or there's something wrong 1359 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 24: with you. Well no, look, I'm sorry, we well we're 1360 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 24: well passed. You know that it's not bigotry to not 1361 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 24: go along with all the other things that are tacked 1362 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 24: on to these activist movements. And I say good on 1363 01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:26,080 Speaker 24: the breakers actually saying look, we here to play rugby. Sorry, 1364 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 24: let we'll let well, you know, kind of rugby. 1365 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 3: Like basketball, basketball like rugby, says Or has just shown 1366 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,080 Speaker 3: that he doesn't understand sports. 1367 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 24: Yeah, guys, sports ball beat sports ball. 1368 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,240 Speaker 2: I say, oh lord. 1369 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,479 Speaker 3: God, thank you so much. You guys appreciate it. Mark Sains, 1370 01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 3: Brig Jordan Williams a hut all this evening. I mean basketball, rugby. 1371 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:52,439 Speaker 3: What's the difference eight away from six? 1372 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,960 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dooper c Allen Drive Full Show podcast 1373 01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: on my Heart Radio powered by News Talk ZB. 1374 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 3: Hither as appearance of a trans son, Simeon's response is 1375 01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,560 Speaker 3: simply ignorant. This response is on par with using conversion 1376 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 3: therapy on gays. So I tell you what, do not 1377 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 3: underestimate how upset people will be about this today, okay, 1378 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 3: And I think if there's one thing I can say 1379 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 3: about this debate, it would be just to try to 1380 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,479 Speaker 3: be kind about it, because, oh lord, do I sound 1381 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,959 Speaker 3: like just Cinder. It's because I'm reading her book. Reading 1382 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,080 Speaker 3: the book. It's to just deal with it with empathy, right, 1383 01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 3: because I think, look on balance, I do feel that 1384 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 3: the right decision is that the decision that's been taken 1385 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 3: today is closer to the right decision than where it 1386 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 3: was before we were prescribing. I don't know if you're 1387 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,560 Speaker 3: aware of the numbers, but we were prescribing puberty blockers 1388 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:44,000 Speaker 3: at a rate that was like multiples of the UK. 1389 01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 3: I can't remember exactly seven, eight, nine, ten times what 1390 01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,640 Speaker 3: the UK was prescribing there. It was quite obvious that 1391 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 3: there was way too much freedom in New Zealand. With that, 1392 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 3: probably I would have liked to have seen them end 1393 01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,560 Speaker 3: up somewhere a little bit more nuanced, where maybe a 1394 01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 3: clinical psychologist could, like after a lot of rigorous stuff, 1395 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 3: could figure out yep, this CAD definitely is trans rather 1396 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:06,800 Speaker 3: than just the vibe that they may be and give 1397 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:10,640 Speaker 3: it in the very very rarest of circumstances. So you know, 1398 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 3: as I say, on balance, probably closer to the right decision, 1399 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 3: but still pretty hard decision four away from sex. Okay, 1400 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,240 Speaker 3: so listen, let's talk about Lenny Kravitz. So I have 1401 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,520 Speaker 3: been dying to tell you about Lenny Kravitz. This is 1402 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,600 Speaker 3: Lenny is the reason that my voice is like it 1403 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,960 Speaker 3: is today because I went to Lenny and I just 1404 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,320 Speaker 3: had the best time. I don't even I'm not even 1405 01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:32,800 Speaker 3: a Lenny fan. I didn't. I had to listen to 1406 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 3: the set list beforehand to kind of like know even 1407 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,040 Speaker 3: like about seven of his songs, but when it was 1408 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 3: such a fantastic concert, as one hundred percent the second 1409 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:42,720 Speaker 3: best concert I've ever been to Coldplavers the first, this 1410 01:04:42,880 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 3: was the second, and again not even a massive Coldplay fan. 1411 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 3: What it was was he's a performer, right, so he 1412 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 3: knows he's like seventy percent good on the music. The 1413 01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 3: rest is just sex. So he just came out all sexy. 1414 01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,680 Speaker 3: He was like fingers in his pants, like tugging down 1415 01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,440 Speaker 3: at it. His musicians, the ones with the good bodies 1416 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,760 Speaker 3: on the bass and the one on the sacks, had 1417 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 3: to basically get their shirts off for the girls. So 1418 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 3: they were standing there with their their T shirt, muscles 1419 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,560 Speaker 3: out and stuff. He had just like more lights than 1420 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 3: you've ever seen. He had an enormous stage of Yep, 1421 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 3: it was an enormous set of stage screens. That's what 1422 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,760 Speaker 3: I was talking about. Lots of smoke. Just the man 1423 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 3: is just you know what it is. He's a performer. 1424 01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:26,360 Speaker 3: And what I've realized is when you go to a concert, 1425 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 3: it is actually less about the content and more about 1426 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,760 Speaker 3: the performance. He put a show on. Anyway, so I sang, 1427 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,680 Speaker 3: I did that thing that boomers do. I was like, yeah, baby, 1428 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,000 Speaker 3: I can't even do it now. 1429 01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 21: Sing along head they come on, I can't sing anymore. 1430 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:42,200 Speaker 2: It was wonderful. 1431 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 3: Go and see Lenny if you get a chance.

The average person is going to 1446 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,000 Speaker 3: spend about one hundred and forty dollars on presents this year. 1447 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,160 Speaker 3: That's down from about one hundred and sixty three dollars 1448 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 3: last year. Mary Holm is a personal finance journalist and 1449 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 3: author and with us Hi Mary Hi Hi hea that 1450 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 3: this is just a sign of financial times, isn't it you. 1451 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,160 Speaker 20: Look, I suppose it is. Although every year, you know, 1452 01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 20: you get some people saying, oh my gosh, I haven't 1453 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,960 Speaker 20: got enough money to spend on Christmas and. 1454 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 2: Look up. 1455 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 20: Basically, what I would love families to do is think 1456 01:06:54,760 --> 01:07:01,080 Speaker 20: about how putting financial pressure on themselves in order to 1457 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,480 Speaker 20: perhaps buy more presents for the children must end up 1458 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 20: with them being not such nice parents in the long run, 1459 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 20: you know, if in January they're stressed and. 1460 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 7: All of that. 1461 01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 20: And so, I mean, of course you can't put the 1462 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,080 Speaker 20: question to the child and say would you rather have 1463 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 20: a happy mummy and daddy in January? And fewer presents, 1464 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,600 Speaker 20: but in fact I suspect that is what the kids 1465 01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,480 Speaker 20: would prefer. Really, yeah, it's just awful. 1466 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:32,280 Speaker 3: So what's your advice, Mary, don't spend as much on 1467 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:33,200 Speaker 3: the Christmas presents? 1468 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 20: In my weekend here on Q and A column. A 1469 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 20: few different times over the years, I've said to readers, 1470 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 20: you know, what are your suggestions on cutting back Christmas spending? 1471 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 20: And some of them just quickly. There's a secret center 1472 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,520 Speaker 20: which we all know about, where you all pull a 1473 01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 20: name out of the hat for next year and buy 1474 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 20: only the one present, and that can work well. Or 1475 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 20: there's buying only op shop gifts yep, or second hand 1476 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 20: books only, which you know could be quite fun going 1477 01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,160 Speaker 20: and rummaging around bookshops to find the right gift for people. 1478 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 20: Or making your gifts, you know, you have to either 1479 01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 20: do some baking or perhaps put the plant from the 1480 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 20: garden in a pot, or do some knitting or something 1481 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,800 Speaker 20: like that. I mean, another one that my family has 1482 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 20: done is, apart from the children, don't give one another 1483 01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 20: Christmas presents. Give a nice birthday present instead, and that 1484 01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,519 Speaker 20: means that you can actually concentrate on that one person 1485 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 20: when their birthday comes round, and you know, give them 1486 01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 20: something decent for their birthday. 1487 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 3: And what do you think do you think that it's 1488 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 3: better for the kids, Like, can you trick the kids 1489 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,880 Speaker 3: with lots with a bunch of much cheaper presents or 1490 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,719 Speaker 3: is it better to go for one more more substantial present. 1491 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 20: Well, you know, obviously the more substantial good present in 1492 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 20: the long run is the good one. The trouble is 1493 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 20: could see all the all the stuff their friends get it. 1494 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 20: Oh look, it's not easy, and you know it's controversy 1495 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 20: about the colored sand at the moment. People go out by, 1496 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 20: you know, cheap toys for kids and they don't always 1497 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:24,839 Speaker 20: turn out to be good quality. There's no really easy 1498 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,000 Speaker 20: answer for the children. 1499 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 6: I think. 1500 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 20: I think it's much easier to limit your spending on 1501 01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:33,120 Speaker 20: adults and teenagers, you know, give them twenty bucks and 1502 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,720 Speaker 20: then they can spend it their own way. 1503 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:36,719 Speaker 23: Yeah. 1504 01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,960 Speaker 20: Look, yeah, I haven't got a magic answer about that. 1505 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:40,599 Speaker 20: For children. 1506 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 10: I have to say, yeah, what. 1507 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:44,160 Speaker 3: Are you hearing from people? 1508 01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 2: Merri Well? 1509 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,720 Speaker 3: No, And I you know, that's why I was asking you, 1510 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,840 Speaker 3: because this is always the difficulty, and parents put themselves 1511 01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 3: in difficult situations out of the goodness of their hearts, 1512 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 3: right because they're trying to do the right things by 1513 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 3: the kids, and you just your heart breaks if you 1514 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:02,720 Speaker 3: can't even afford present for your kids. What are you hearing, Mary, 1515 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,920 Speaker 3: Are you hearing that people are finding it tough this year? 1516 01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:12,000 Speaker 20: Yes, but you know, yeah, I think perhaps you know, 1517 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 20: a bit tougher than last year for some. But you know, 1518 01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,560 Speaker 20: on the other hand, it sounds like there might be 1519 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,120 Speaker 20: some signs that the economy is actually picking up. And 1520 01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:26,599 Speaker 20: so look, I don't know whether food is certainly one 1521 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,479 Speaker 20: thing that keeps coming into the limelight is costing more, 1522 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 20: doesn't it. 1523 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 8: And and. 1524 01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 20: You know the amount of money that families spend on 1525 01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 20: food at Christmas, you've got to wonder about you know, 1526 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,840 Speaker 20: could they perhaps just all get together and say, look, 1527 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 20: what's something lovely we can do that doesn't cost and 1528 01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,600 Speaker 20: perhaps not a traditional thing, because the trouble is the 1529 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 20: turkeys and the traditional food. The prices go up then 1530 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,479 Speaker 20: because the shops know they can put no, no, you. 1531 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 3: Can't be doing I mean, we can't be doing Christmas turkeys. 1532 01:10:58,120 --> 01:10:59,439 Speaker 3: Can we had summer for God's sake? 1533 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,920 Speaker 20: Yeah? Well that's quite right, yes, And so you know, 1534 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,000 Speaker 20: a family can come up with I don't know, you 1535 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:11,320 Speaker 20: know some lovely fish fish or I actually end up 1536 01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:15,240 Speaker 20: doing vegetarian because I'm surrounded by vegetarians and that's fine 1537 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,000 Speaker 20: and very lovely. 1538 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, very bloody healthy and the end. Mary, thanks very 1539 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 3: much appreciated. Mary Holme, personal finance journalists and author based 1540 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:24,680 Speaker 3: by the way, on whether the economy is at an 1541 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,920 Speaker 3: inflection point. Brendan from Milford Acid Managements with us and 1542 01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 3: just Attack. Apparently the company that owns blue Bridge is 1543 01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,599 Speaker 3: up for sale, so the Australian newspapers, the Australians were impressive. 1544 01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 3: The Australian breaks a lot of yarns about what's going 1545 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,040 Speaker 3: on with our business community here in New Zealand. And 1546 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,680 Speaker 3: it is reporting that Morgan Stanley Infrastructure, which owns the 1547 01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 3: parent company of Bluebridge, is hoping to sell it. They 1548 01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,960 Speaker 3: bought it in January three years ago, so January twenty 1549 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,759 Speaker 3: two for a reported five hundred million dollars and apparently 1550 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 3: they're hoping to sell it for a billion dollars, which 1551 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 3: is that's not bad jeez. I mean, I tell you 1552 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 3: what Labour wants to to get his hands on some 1553 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 3: of those capital gains right there. I would definitely line 1554 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,600 Speaker 3: their coffers hither if Coldplay and Lenny Kravitz are the 1555 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 3: best gigs you've ever been to, I've got advice that 1556 01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 3: would transform your music taste. Oh gosh, what impression have 1557 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,720 Speaker 3: I left you with? I am not a Lenny Kravitz fan, 1558 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:20,479 Speaker 3: nor am I a cold Play fan. I was hoping 1559 01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,800 Speaker 3: I would conveyed that earlier. I don't actually like like 1560 01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 3: I don't particularly like Coldplay or Lenny Kravitz. They put 1561 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 3: on the best gags. I mean, this is what I'm 1562 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 3: trying to say to you. It's not actually so much 1563 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:33,720 Speaker 3: about the music. It's just about how much of these 1564 01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,160 Speaker 3: dudes are enjoying the music on the stage, going part 1565 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 3: of part of the concert club is going to things 1566 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,720 Speaker 3: we wouldn't normally go to, which is exactly how I 1567 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:47,320 Speaker 3: find myself going to Metallica tonight. So who knows, maybe 1568 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,560 Speaker 3: I'll come back to you and I'll be like Metallica 1569 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,240 Speaker 3: best gag I've ever been to. Somehow, though I don't 1570 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 3: feel that's going to happen. 1571 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: Six fourteen, It's the Heather Duper c Allen Drive Full 1572 01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:02,400 Speaker 1: Show podcast on my Heart Radio, empowered by News Talks EDB. 1573 01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 1: Approaching the numbers and getting the results It's Heather Duplessy 1574 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,799 Speaker 1: Allen on the Business Hour with MAS Motor Vehicle Insurance. 1575 01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:15,120 Speaker 2: Your futures in good hands?

Just tell us how 1581 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,519 Speaker 3: you think the economy has been unfolding of late? 1582 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 4: Yes, sure, so, I guess clearly. Up until the October 1583 01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 4: iarviian Zen meeting, the flow of data really was quite poor. 1584 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,840 Speaker 4: So GDP posted a very week second quarter, and although 1585 01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,120 Speaker 4: the detail around private consumption perhaps wasn't as bad as feared, 1586 01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 4: the report overall did spook the ibn Z. The week 1587 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,519 Speaker 4: GDP also came alongside a further slowing in the labor market, 1588 01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:56,680 Speaker 4: which meant that there was more spec capacity in the 1589 01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:00,800 Speaker 4: economy than the ibn Z had expected. Alongside this, we've 1590 01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,480 Speaker 4: also seen a trend in mortgage holders keeping their refixing 1591 01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 4: very short between six months in one year and so 1592 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,160 Speaker 4: That means that the easing that the AVNZ has done 1593 01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,879 Speaker 4: to date hasn't really been flowing through via the mortgage 1594 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,920 Speaker 4: channel like it usually does, given those shorter rates are 1595 01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,960 Speaker 4: often much higher than the two and three year rates 1596 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,160 Speaker 4: where people usually fix. And so this spare capacity in 1597 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 4: the economy, as well as a desire to keep wholesale 1598 01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,760 Speaker 4: and therefore mortgage rates lower to get the intended easing 1599 01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,799 Speaker 4: and debt costs, was really the reason the IBNZ delivered 1600 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:30,799 Speaker 4: that fifty base point rate cut in October. 1601 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,439 Speaker 3: Okay, so I mean, obviously some weak conditions, but the 1602 01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank has a single inflation Mandate's what's the latest there. 1603 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:38,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, it's a good point, and I think it 1604 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 4: really comes back to the spare capacity argument I made 1605 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,759 Speaker 4: just a moment ago. So consumer prices rose three percent 1606 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,160 Speaker 4: in the third quarter, and so that's the top of 1607 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,640 Speaker 4: the ibnz's one to three percent banned and an acceleration 1608 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,400 Speaker 4: on the second quarter. So at face value, people may 1609 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,360 Speaker 4: wonder how a central bank focus solely on inflation could 1610 01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:59,680 Speaker 4: justify cutting by fifty bases points, And as I say, 1611 01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 4: really it comes down to their view that there is 1612 01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,679 Speaker 4: a lot of spare capacity and that should put downward 1613 01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:08,160 Speaker 4: pressure on inflation over the medium term. Within that Q 1614 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 4: three CPR report, we also can see that a lot 1615 01:15:10,760 --> 01:15:13,559 Speaker 4: of the upside came from food and more volatile items, 1616 01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:17,200 Speaker 4: whereas cyclical categories like housing were actually weaker, and so 1617 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,800 Speaker 4: that does show that domestic conditions are still really tough. 1618 01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 3: Okay, So since we had that fifty basis point cut 1619 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 3: in October, have we seen any notable changes in the economy? 1620 01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,040 Speaker 4: Look, I think there are tentative signs of improvement, but 1621 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,720 Speaker 4: we want to see more conclusive data before we're really 1622 01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,519 Speaker 4: shouting from the rooftops. We need to remember that we've 1623 01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,320 Speaker 4: had three hundred basis points of rate cuts for the 1624 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 4: high chance of another twenty five basis points next week, 1625 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,519 Speaker 4: and so that is a substantial amount of easing that 1626 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:46,200 Speaker 4: should start showing up more clearly. So, as I mentioned earlier, 1627 01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 4: one of the reasons we think that the reaction in 1628 01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,920 Speaker 4: the economy to rate cuts this time is slower is 1629 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,240 Speaker 4: due to almost all of the mortgage that we're rolling 1630 01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 4: over this year being refixed at very short tenors, and 1631 01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,200 Speaker 4: so once people start turning up their debt, there is 1632 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 4: still easy to flow through on the data front to 1633 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,840 Speaker 4: your point. I think since October we have seen a 1634 01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,040 Speaker 4: few things that show some signs of improvement. One of 1635 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:12,240 Speaker 4: them is the manufacturing PMI showing four of five categories 1636 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 4: and expansion during the month, led by new orders, which 1637 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 4: is a really positive signal for future growth. We've also 1638 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,080 Speaker 4: had the Services index show a second consecutive month of improvement, 1639 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,479 Speaker 4: and so that remains in contraction, but directionally that's better. 1640 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,519 Speaker 4: We've also had two months of improving job add data, 1641 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,519 Speaker 4: and the housing market is finally showing some signs of life, 1642 01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,360 Speaker 4: with sales up fifteen percent in October and prices up 1643 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,040 Speaker 4: one point seven percent over the last three months, and 1644 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:38,760 Speaker 4: so we're optimistic that the bottom is in. 1645 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,360 Speaker 3: Oh, how good, Brendan. I'm so pleased with that news. 1646 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,080 Speaker 3: Thank you, Brendan. Last and no Fit Asset Management twenty 1647 01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 3: past six. Yeah, okay, so listen. The Guardian has done 1648 01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 3: a piece on Nigel Ffrage. This is it's very long, like, 1649 01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:54,719 Speaker 3: it's a really big piece. This is the headline, deeply shocking. 1650 01:16:55,240 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 3: Nigel Farrage bases fresh claims of racism and anti semitism school. 1651 01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,760 Speaker 3: So I spent the read it over the course this morning. 1652 01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,679 Speaker 3: I thought, okay, what have we got here and look, 1653 01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:12,439 Speaker 3: I am should they have run this story. It's a 1654 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,280 Speaker 3: story about what he did when he was thirteen years old. Now, 1655 01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 3: their argument, this is a Guardians argument for why they're 1656 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 3: running the story, is this man could potentially be on 1657 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,680 Speaker 3: current polling, the next Prime Minister of Britain, which is 1658 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,040 Speaker 3: a fair point to make. But he was still thirteen 1659 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 3: years old. Now, some of the allegations are not that 1660 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,200 Speaker 3: flash like. I mean, he's basically accused of being like 1661 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 3: weirdly into Nazi stuff, right, So he was singing a 1662 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:39,559 Speaker 3: whole bunch of Nazi like songs, talking consistently about gassing people. 1663 01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,200 Speaker 3: He'd go up to kids, this one particular kid, and 1664 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 3: he'd whisper in his ear. Hitler was right, and he 1665 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 3: was like a huge fan of Oswald Moseley, who's, of course, 1666 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 3: you know, the famous fascist and Nazi mate over in 1667 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,080 Speaker 3: UK politics at around the time of the Second World War. 1668 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:55,280 Speaker 2: But I. 1669 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 3: Can't get past the fact that he was thirteen years old. 1670 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 3: What is the man now, Like he must be knocking 1671 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,000 Speaker 3: on the door of sixty five or seventy I guess 1672 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,120 Speaker 3: a long long time ago. And I would hate that 1673 01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:07,720 Speaker 3: any of us would be judged by what we did 1674 01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 3: when we were thirteen years old. Anyway, we'll have a 1675 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 3: chat Togo. I don't know if Gavin Gray has managed 1676 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:13,360 Speaker 3: to read it, because as I say, it's a very 1677 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:15,680 Speaker 3: long piece, But if he has, we'll have a chat 1678 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,559 Speaker 3: to him about it when he's with us in about 1679 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,240 Speaker 3: twenty minutes right now, six twenty two. 1680 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro, micro or just plain economics, it's all 1681 01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:27,960 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Heather Dupercila and Mass Motor 1682 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:28,919 Speaker 1: Vehicle Insurance. 1683 01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,840 Speaker 2: Your future is in good hands News talks. 1684 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 3: That'd be Heather. There is more than one hundred peda 1685 01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 3: jewels of gas missing from the New Zealand economy and 1686 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 3: big industrial users are on demand management electricity contracts. This 1687 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 3: is an economy with resource scarcity where productions constrained. The 1688 01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:46,200 Speaker 3: rate cuts won't fix this. I do not see a 1689 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:51,960 Speaker 3: recovery in the scenario. Look, lord, it's pretty grim, I 1690 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 3: think looking at what's going on at the moment, I'm 1691 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 3: not feeling I wouldn't feel confident enough to say, yeah, 1692 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,439 Speaker 3: it's all it's all guns blazing from here. Does anybody 1693 01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 3: feel like that? I don't think anybody does. Nobody feels 1694 01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:04,960 Speaker 3: like we're turbo charging into next year, do we It's 1695 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,960 Speaker 3: sort of like we'll take what we can get and 1696 01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 3: we'll make the most of it if we possibly can. Also, 1697 01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:11,439 Speaker 3: speaking of taking what we can get, Tory Farno has 1698 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,560 Speaker 3: announced that she's moving to Melbourne. She confirmed it in 1699 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 3: a private Facebook event. She hasn't said if she's got 1700 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 3: a job to go to, but that is her done. 1701 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,560 Speaker 3: After she missed out on the electric seat what do 1702 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,479 Speaker 3: they call it, the Mary Ward seat on Wellington City Council, 1703 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,800 Speaker 3: She's decided she's done with it. Pullpin off, she goes 1704 01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:28,840 Speaker 3: joins the Brain Drain six twenty six. 1705 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,360 Speaker 2: There's no business like show business. 1706 01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,439 Speaker 3: So one of the year's biggest celebrity deaths, of course, 1707 01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 3: as we know, was Ozzie Osbourne and his son Jack 1708 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:44,839 Speaker 3: is now opening up about his passing. 1709 01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:45,360 Speaker 8: Now. 1710 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:48,320 Speaker 3: Jack is currently on but I'm a Celebrity, Get Me 1711 01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:49,960 Speaker 3: out of Here, which is a show over in the 1712 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,479 Speaker 3: UK at the moment. We're not the only ones, as 1713 01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:56,439 Speaker 3: you can tell, who have questionable celebrity shows. He told 1714 01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,720 Speaker 3: his fellow castaways on the show that while they knew 1715 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,559 Speaker 3: that Ozzie was sick, his death actually came really suddenly. 1716 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,680 Speaker 3: He said it was the ultimate mic drop. This is 1717 01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:05,760 Speaker 3: Jack said, it was the ultimate mic drop. He did 1718 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 3: a massive, big gig and was like, all right, I'm done. 1719 01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 3: But fans are getting a lot of insight into different 1720 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,960 Speaker 3: parts of Jack's life in a crazy family. He's also 1721 01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:15,479 Speaker 3: talked about filming the Osbournes when he was just seventeen 1722 01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 3: years old. You'll remember he had a massive afro and 1723 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:19,160 Speaker 3: he had glasses. 1724 01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,200 Speaker 8: They were only supposed to film us for three weeks 1725 01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 8: to do a pilot, and then they just end up 1726 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:25,639 Speaker 8: staying for like four years. 1727 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an amazing show. It kind of led 1728 01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,599 Speaker 2: the way for everybody else, for better or worse. 1729 01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:34,960 Speaker 3: Now, it doesn't sound like Jack is a fan of 1730 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 3: reality TV and he reckons Ozzie wasn't a fan of 1731 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,720 Speaker 3: reality TV either, which is kind of ironic because they 1732 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,679 Speaker 3: made reality TV and Jack is on another reality TV show. 1733 01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,320 Speaker 3: But look, who am I to question people's choices? Jack said, 1734 01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,680 Speaker 3: if Ozzie was still alive, he'd have stopped him from 1735 01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:54,120 Speaker 3: going on. But I'm a celebrity. I think most parents 1736 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 3: would stop their children from doing But I'm a celebrity, 1737 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:59,920 Speaker 3: wouldn't we right?

The hikes 1775 01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,679 Speaker 3: supposed to go up by about two to three hundred 1776 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,679 Speaker 3: dollars from mid next year. Nichola Willis has just announced 1777 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 3: she's going to delay the rise by a year, so 1778 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:10,519 Speaker 3: it kicking after the election water surprise. Jenative Trainee is 1779 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,880 Speaker 3: The Herald's Wellington business editor and with us Hi Jena Hi. 1780 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:15,360 Speaker 3: Why the delay. 1781 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,280 Speaker 26: Well, Nikola Willis told me that she's aware that, you know, 1782 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 26: insurance premiums have been rising a lot in recent years. 1783 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,080 Speaker 26: They've really put households under pressure, and you know, she 1784 01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:31,360 Speaker 26: doesn't want to add to that cost. She's also mindful that, 1785 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,800 Speaker 26: you know, if insurance premiums go up by too much, 1786 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 26: then some households might water down their cover or get 1787 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,320 Speaker 26: rid of their insurance altogether, which then would cause an 1788 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 26: even bigger problem for you know, New Zealand, for the 1789 01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:50,519 Speaker 26: resilience of households. So look, I think that this issue 1790 01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:55,400 Speaker 26: is pretty interesting. I became aware of it because the 1791 01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,640 Speaker 26: Treasury reached out to insurance companies to let them know 1792 01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:02,679 Speaker 26: that nothing would be done before mid twenty twenty seven. 1793 01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:04,639 Speaker 26: So I don't know if the government was ever going 1794 01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:08,400 Speaker 26: to announce this, but it has just quietly pushed the 1795 01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,759 Speaker 26: can down the road. The issue is that the Natural 1796 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:16,200 Speaker 26: Hazards Commission does not have enough money to cover the 1797 01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:20,200 Speaker 26: costs of a big disaster. So you know, the Treasury 1798 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,800 Speaker 26: reckons these levies really do need to go up. But 1799 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:27,320 Speaker 26: of course no government minister, particularly this government, wants to 1800 01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,200 Speaker 26: hike taxes effectively. As we're being political about it. 1801 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, so at the moment it has about six hundred 1802 01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 3: million and it's kitty, right, What should it actually have 1803 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:38,000 Speaker 3: in order to cover a big event? 1804 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:44,679 Speaker 26: Yeah, so the reinsurance that the Commission has that only 1805 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:49,719 Speaker 26: kicks in if the costs exceed two point two billion dollars. 1806 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,679 Speaker 26: So anything below two point two for a certain event 1807 01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:57,559 Speaker 26: needs to be covered by the Commission. But the Commission 1808 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,760 Speaker 26: only has six hundred million and it's kitty. So that 1809 01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 26: means if there is a big disaster, the Crown could 1810 01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:08,000 Speaker 26: have to pay up to one point six billion dollars. 1811 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,640 Speaker 26: So the thing here is that effectively someone always has 1812 01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,800 Speaker 26: to pay. The model we have, the idea is that 1813 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,960 Speaker 26: it's sort of doesn't expose the Crown's balance sheet too much. 1814 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,519 Speaker 26: You know, it keeps the cost contained. You're a homeowner, 1815 01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 26: you pay the levees, you know, the levees attacked onto 1816 01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:28,320 Speaker 26: your private insurance premiums, You pay levies, and then when 1817 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 26: you need to pay out you tap into this. But 1818 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 26: you know, if more of the cost falls on the Crown, 1819 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,519 Speaker 26: then that means the Crown needs to borrow more and 1820 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:42,519 Speaker 26: the cost of that, you know, of covering homeowners is 1821 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,439 Speaker 26: covered by all of us people who don't own homes 1822 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 26: as well, and the cost gets pushed out into the future, 1823 01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 26: you know, the future generations who then take on that debt. 1824 01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,880 Speaker 3: So in the point that you've just made is that 1825 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,880 Speaker 3: at two point two billion, that's when the if the 1826 01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 3: cost exceeds that, that's when the reinsurance came. And because 1827 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,040 Speaker 3: it hasn't got enough money and it's ketty, we were 1828 01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:04,479 Speaker 3: not going to miss out on this, right, the government 1829 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 3: can top it up to two point two and then 1830 01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:06,640 Speaker 3: we get the reinsurance. 1831 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,000 Speaker 26: Yes, the government can top it up. So it's just 1832 01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 26: you know, it's just a matter of who pays. Do 1833 01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 26: we all pay or do just homeowners pay? 1834 01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, brilliant Jinnay, thanks very much for I really appreciate 1835 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,479 Speaker 3: you explaining. That's Jen natchip Training, The Herald's Wellington Business editor. Heither, 1836 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,639 Speaker 3: a friend of mine has just put her late model 1837 01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,640 Speaker 3: vehicle on third party as the main insurance was now 1838 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:26,760 Speaker 3: too expensive. That's from Dave and Christchich. I'll tell you 1839 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 3: what I was talking to the German about this today, 1840 01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 3: and in fact, I was recounting a conversation I had 1841 01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:35,439 Speaker 3: with the husband last night because I was watching the 1842 01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 3: news and It might have been last night, night before. 1843 01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:40,000 Speaker 3: I can't remember. Days have become a blur when you're 1844 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:43,200 Speaker 3: not at work, and it was it was Apropos Luxe 1845 01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 3: and standing. It might have been Monday, because I feel 1846 01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:47,800 Speaker 3: like he was at the podium and he was sort 1847 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,000 Speaker 3: of saying, oh, you know the polls. It was purpoing 1848 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 3: that IPSOS monitor pole that shows that labor is now 1849 01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:54,920 Speaker 3: in the lead, you know, in terms of handling the 1850 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 3: economy and stuff like that. And what he said was, oh, look, 1851 01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,120 Speaker 3: we know it's really hard for people out there. But 1852 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,400 Speaker 3: he had a look on his face that didn't say 1853 01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,280 Speaker 3: that he knew how hard it was for people out there. 1854 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 3: And the point that I was making to the husband 1855 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,080 Speaker 3: and the have of course now recounted to the German, 1856 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 3: is that I think I'm on a reasonably good income, right, 1857 01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,519 Speaker 3: but I look at how much things are costing me, 1858 01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 3: and I feel like I can't get a hit. I 1859 01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:18,760 Speaker 3: look at the rates, like how much are your Look 1860 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,400 Speaker 3: at your rates, it's out the gate, how much we're 1861 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:23,600 Speaker 3: paying in rates. Then you look at your insurance and 1862 01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,920 Speaker 3: you're like, what the hell that's Nutso then you look 1863 01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,280 Speaker 3: at the grocery bill just to feed the kids, right 1864 01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,400 Speaker 3: and the family that's out the gate, Like I don't 1865 01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 3: know that I can do a grocery shop under three 1866 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 3: hundred dollars at the moment, you know, Like Lord, if 1867 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 3: you can, all power to you, then you look at 1868 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,560 Speaker 3: the power builts and that's nuts as well. And I 1869 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 3: think I'll tell you what I reckon lux in A 1870 01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:49,160 Speaker 3: national's problem on this particular issue right on the cost 1871 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,360 Speaker 3: of living thing is they say that they know it's 1872 01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 3: hard out there, but they don't look like they know 1873 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,599 Speaker 3: it's hard out there. It is flipping hard out there 1874 01:27:57,680 --> 01:27:59,799 Speaker 3: for people at the moment it has and the longer 1875 01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:01,519 Speaker 3: it goes on, even though the green shoots are there, 1876 01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 3: the longer it goes on, the more wearying it is. 1877 01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:07,280 Speaker 3: And the less that you know, those kinds just paying 1878 01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:10,840 Speaker 3: lip service to it, the less it counts. So they 1879 01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:13,800 Speaker 3: better get up to speed very quickly with the fact 1880 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 3: that they're in berg trouble on that. And that's not 1881 01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,000 Speaker 3: imaginary polling people are feeling that because actually, when I 1882 01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,639 Speaker 3: saw Luckson's face say those words, I have to be honest, 1883 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,560 Speaker 3: I got a little bit angry, and I got a 1884 01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:25,280 Speaker 3: bit angry about the news the other night. What I 1885 01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,519 Speaker 3: need to tell you about though, just to switch subject altogether, 1886 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 3: because I know the social media thing is happening at 1887 01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 3: the moment as well. Is have you seen the latest 1888 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 3: with the gaming platform Roadblocks? Now, Roadblocks is the thing 1889 01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:36,760 Speaker 3: that the kids use, right, and so kids are on 1890 01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,640 Speaker 3: at very very young age. Roadblocks has now announced that 1891 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 3: they're going to be doing age verification. So what they 1892 01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:43,960 Speaker 3: need if you're going to sign on to Roadblocks, you've 1893 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:46,160 Speaker 3: got to take your picture of yourself, do a selfie. 1894 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,080 Speaker 3: Then they're going to use facial recognition software to kind 1895 01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 3: of work out roughly how old you are, and they're 1896 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,240 Speaker 3: going to put you in brackets, right, so are you twelve, 1897 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:58,559 Speaker 3: are you nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, whatever, 1898 01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,960 Speaker 3: and then you know, eighteen twenty one up whatever, And 1899 01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,560 Speaker 3: then based on what they calculate your age to be. 1900 01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,719 Speaker 3: And apparently it's very it's pretty accurate with kids anybody 1901 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,720 Speaker 3: under like it was the age of twenty. It's really 1902 01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:12,840 Speaker 3: easy for them to actually figure out roughly how old 1903 01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 3: you are. So then they're going to group you into groupings, right, 1904 01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 3: so a grouping is like nine to twelve year olds 1905 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:20,600 Speaker 3: thirteen to fifteen year olds. I think it's fifteen to 1906 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 3: sixteen year olds, seventeen to eighteen year olds, and then 1907 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,840 Speaker 3: nineteen to twenty and then twenty one plus. And in 1908 01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,560 Speaker 3: those groupings you can talk to each other, but you 1909 01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,880 Speaker 3: cannot talk to somebody older or younger than that grouping. 1910 01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:34,560 Speaker 3: And the aim here, obviously is to stop adults on 1911 01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:38,000 Speaker 3: the platform preying on kids so being unable to chat 1912 01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 3: to them. They're going to roll this out in Australia 1913 01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:42,960 Speaker 3: and New Zealand and the Netherlands next month, and then 1914 01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 3: other countries are going to get it from January. The 1915 01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,120 Speaker 3: reason I'm telling you this is because, like I've said 1916 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:51,240 Speaker 3: to you a thousand times before, when the internet guys 1917 01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 3: tell you, the social media guys tell you they cannot 1918 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:57,519 Speaker 3: possibly guess how old you are or verify your age BS, 1919 01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,320 Speaker 3: they can. These guys are doing it. Reddit is doing it, 1920 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:04,120 Speaker 3: increasing porn sites are starting to do it. I'm telling 1921 01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:05,880 Speaker 3: you now, it's just going to This is how this 1922 01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 3: is going to be, finally, how the Internet actually is. 1923 01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 3: Won't be a days too soon, will it?

Gavin Gray Uka correspondents with us Alo. Gavin, 1939 01:30:53,439 --> 01:30:55,760 Speaker 3: Hi the Heaven. Have you read this Guardian piece about 1940 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:56,639 Speaker 3: Nigel Farage. 1941 01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:58,479 Speaker 2: I have, yes. 1942 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:02,040 Speaker 5: It's a very interesting about Nigel Farage, who of course 1943 01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:06,040 Speaker 5: is helped secure Brexit back in twenty sixteen and leads 1944 01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:09,559 Speaker 5: the Reform Party, which is led I think more than 1945 01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:12,160 Speaker 5: the last one hundred opinion polls in this country, a 1946 01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 5: real upstart political party. It's a piece about nigral Farage's 1947 01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:20,880 Speaker 5: time at school. Now, you might think, being some fifty 1948 01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,640 Speaker 5: years ago, that this would all long be forgotten. But 1949 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:26,040 Speaker 5: of course, if he is going to be our next 1950 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:28,080 Speaker 5: prime minister, and there are plenty of people who think 1951 01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:30,920 Speaker 5: he will be, such as the sheer disdain for the 1952 01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:34,599 Speaker 5: two main political parties at the moment, that people are 1953 01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:36,800 Speaker 5: going to dig up his history and have a look 1954 01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:39,559 Speaker 5: at his time. And he went to Dullage College, which 1955 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,519 Speaker 5: is a private school, very exclusive school in the south 1956 01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:46,040 Speaker 5: of London. And the Guardian newspaper here, the left wing paper, 1957 01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:50,920 Speaker 5: has spoken to plenty of his former schoolboy colleagues and 1958 01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,320 Speaker 5: some of them are not painting a particularly nice image, 1959 01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:57,720 Speaker 5: claiming that he was a contrarian, that's a polite one. 1960 01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:02,360 Speaker 5: Others are saying he sang right wing and anti Semitic songs, 1961 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:05,200 Speaker 5: that he was always a bit of an upstart, a 1962 01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:09,320 Speaker 5: bit of a trouble maker and was continually sort of 1963 01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:13,280 Speaker 5: picking on boys who weren't white British as it were. 1964 01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 5: Now those are the allegations. He has come back with 1965 01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:19,920 Speaker 5: various legal letters to the Guardian. The party Reform UK 1966 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:23,559 Speaker 5: is saying that it's no coincidence this newspaper is seeking 1967 01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,599 Speaker 5: to discredit Reform UK that's led one hundred and fifty 1968 01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:30,679 Speaker 5: consecutive opinion polls, and we fully expect these cynical attempts 1969 01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 5: to smear reform and mislead the public to intensify further 1970 01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,560 Speaker 5: as we move closer to the next election. And I 1971 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:38,360 Speaker 5: have to say there will be some who would say 1972 01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:40,800 Speaker 5: this was fifty years ago. Is this the best they 1973 01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:41,080 Speaker 5: could do? 1974 01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 3: Well, that's the question I had when I read it. 1975 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,280 Speaker 3: I mean, fear enough the guy is going to be 1976 01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:48,600 Speaker 3: the prime minister. And maybe, and obviously when you have 1977 01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:51,760 Speaker 3: a prime minister, you're interested in their history, but is 1978 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:53,920 Speaker 3: it relevant what he did when he was thirteen years old. 1979 01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:55,360 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1980 01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,560 Speaker 5: What they're trying to do is to paint a consistent 1981 01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 5: image of him being far right, and some of those 1982 01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:07,400 Speaker 5: interviews with some of the pupils sort of suggests that 1983 01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 5: still the case, or sorry, that that was the case, 1984 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:13,240 Speaker 5: But others say, you, well, we can't. I can't remember 1985 01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:15,799 Speaker 5: him using those words, or I can't remember him singing 1986 01:33:16,200 --> 01:33:19,680 Speaker 5: that song. And you know we are talking all that 1987 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:22,560 Speaker 5: time ago, and one person referring to a song that 1988 01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,240 Speaker 5: was sung on a coach trip, well, I can't remember 1989 01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:27,400 Speaker 5: fifty years ago what was sung on a coach trip. 1990 01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,559 Speaker 5: So I look, I think there is an element here 1991 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:34,160 Speaker 5: of the left wing Guardian paper. Like many people in 1992 01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,559 Speaker 5: this country uncomfortable with the prospect of Nigel Farage as 1993 01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:40,920 Speaker 5: the potential leader, others are very comfortable with that and 1994 01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:43,920 Speaker 5: see him as a route out of the mess this 1995 01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:47,439 Speaker 5: country is in. But it does seem extraordinarly that there's 1996 01:33:47,479 --> 01:33:49,760 Speaker 5: this huge gap then between his school days when he 1997 01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:53,160 Speaker 5: left when he was eighteen, right through until present day. 1998 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:57,680 Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm not sure how consistently impactful this will be, 1999 01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:00,600 Speaker 5: particularly as it's come into the guard and that's a 2000 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 5: paper that's well known for not liking right wing politics. 2001 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:05,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fair point that you make. Listen, So 2002 01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:07,840 Speaker 3: when does it become a legal to sell tickets for 2003 01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:08,280 Speaker 3: a profit? 2004 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, since really this government is now really trying to 2005 01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:15,360 Speaker 5: push on the fact that if you buy a ticket 2006 01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 5: for a concert, you can't then resell it for more 2007 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,080 Speaker 5: than the face value. And now there are some very 2008 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:26,360 Speaker 5: successful and popular sites that already do that. Resale sites 2009 01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:29,479 Speaker 5: like via go go and stub hub are basically saying 2010 01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:32,559 Speaker 5: that this price cap, limiting the price of any resale 2011 01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:36,280 Speaker 5: to that face value is going to push customers towards 2012 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:39,840 Speaker 5: unregulated sites and also people selling things on social media, 2013 01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,280 Speaker 5: and that of course will put them at risk of 2014 01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,879 Speaker 5: increased the risk of buying fraudulent tickets or fake tickets, 2015 01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:51,240 Speaker 5: and that has been a real thing that the ministers 2016 01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,360 Speaker 5: have been looking at and don't really seem to have 2017 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:56,719 Speaker 5: issued an answer for that. They are looking at basically 2018 01:34:57,160 --> 01:35:00,240 Speaker 5: sorting this out and the consultation on the change as 2019 01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:04,040 Speaker 5: canvas views on capping tickets at face value or anything 2020 01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:07,519 Speaker 5: up to thirty percent above the face value of a ticket, 2021 01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:12,160 Speaker 5: because we have seen Oasis tickets, for instance, be sold 2022 01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:16,000 Speaker 5: for huge sums of money and then resold for even 2023 01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,519 Speaker 5: higher sums of money. So restricting ticket touts was one 2024 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:23,959 Speaker 5: of this government's election pledges fans complaining of massively inflated 2025 01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:26,560 Speaker 5: prices for resold tickets, and this is an attempt to 2026 01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,120 Speaker 5: do something about it. If they're announcing the plan in 2027 01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:30,200 Speaker 5: just a few hours time. 2028 01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:32,679 Speaker 3: Brilliant stuff. Thank you so much, Gevin, appreciate it. Gavin Gray, 2029 01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:36,679 Speaker 3: UK correspondent. Hither remember this. Gen Z waste over twenty 2030 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:40,719 Speaker 3: percent of their food, gen X waste fifteen percent, Boomers 2031 01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:44,080 Speaker 3: waste around ten percent. Rural women waste only three percent, 2032 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:47,639 Speaker 3: not being wasteful as a classic way to save money. Peter, 2033 01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:50,439 Speaker 3: you make a good point. What's the saying take care 2034 01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:52,920 Speaker 3: of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. Yeah, 2035 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:54,040 Speaker 3: ead away from seven. 2036 01:35:57,160 --> 01:35:59,679 Speaker 1: It's the Hither two per Se Alan Drive Full Show 2037 01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,560 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by news dog Zebbi. 2038 01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:07,880 Speaker 3: Heather Regarding roadblocks with facial recognition to verify your age, 2039 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:09,880 Speaker 3: there will be other problems. For example, if I am 2040 01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,639 Speaker 3: a thirteen year old kid who has this photo taken 2041 01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:14,400 Speaker 3: and then used to guide him through puberty and away 2042 01:36:14,439 --> 01:36:17,439 Speaker 3: from predators, his face will now be continuously monitored with 2043 01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:20,479 Speaker 3: the facial recognition wherever he goes. Is that what we 2044 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:22,200 Speaker 3: want for the future of our kids? Look, I think 2045 01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:23,040 Speaker 3: that's a fair point. 2046 01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:23,200 Speaker 10: Right, but. 2047 01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:29,760 Speaker 3: And well, yeah, it is difficult, isn't it. But then 2048 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:31,559 Speaker 3: I would say to that, isn't that what we're doing anyway? 2049 01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:33,960 Speaker 3: Like you have a Facebook page, you're doing that already, 2050 01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:35,960 Speaker 3: aren't you as an adult? So it's just a question 2051 01:36:36,479 --> 01:36:39,880 Speaker 3: which like you're handing, you're handing over your kid's face 2052 01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:42,040 Speaker 3: at a much younger age, and are you comfortable with 2053 01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:45,679 Speaker 3: that decision? You have to make? Fur Away from seven. Listen, 2054 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:49,120 Speaker 3: I love this. I love this. Have you been following 2055 01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:52,080 Speaker 3: this story about the custody battle over the dog. This 2056 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:53,960 Speaker 3: thing has been going on for three years. It's over 2057 01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,680 Speaker 3: somewhere in the states, Delaware or something like that, and 2058 01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:58,840 Speaker 3: the couple broke up in twenty twenty two and they've 2059 01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,800 Speaker 3: been fighting about the stupid little golden doodle that they had, 2060 01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:05,200 Speaker 3: and they can't decide who gets to keep the dog. 2061 01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 3: So finally it's got to the situation now where a 2062 01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:10,160 Speaker 3: judges had to make a decision about it. And what 2063 01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,760 Speaker 3: the judge what the judge is very very clever. What 2064 01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:15,840 Speaker 3: the judge's done. Judges said they have to have a 2065 01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,840 Speaker 3: private auction and so they have to each bid against 2066 01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,720 Speaker 3: each other for who would pay the most money to 2067 01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:24,000 Speaker 3: take care of the dog, basically buy the dog off 2068 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:27,240 Speaker 3: the other person. Whoever wins it gets to keep the dog, 2069 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:31,479 Speaker 3: and whoever loses it gets to keep the money. And 2070 01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,280 Speaker 3: you just not like this is how you're going to 2071 01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:36,439 Speaker 3: figure out who actually loves the dog the most. Because 2072 01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 3: I'm not going to lie to you. My strategy would 2073 01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,599 Speaker 3: be I would bid to a point where I feel 2074 01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:43,200 Speaker 3: like I would be kind of taking him to the 2075 01:37:43,400 --> 01:37:45,920 Speaker 3: absolute highest level that he would pay, and then I 2076 01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:47,640 Speaker 3: would stop bidding just so I could take as much 2077 01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,559 Speaker 3: money as possible. Ants money or the. 2078 01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:52,280 Speaker 21: Dog, well, I mean I'd be checking a bit in 2079 01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,439 Speaker 21: of five dollars and then just taking whatever they said 2080 01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:57,519 Speaker 21: in response. But I think the risk their Heather, is 2081 01:37:57,560 --> 01:37:59,080 Speaker 21: that you'll think that you can push them a little 2082 01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:00,519 Speaker 21: bit further than you can and then so this is 2083 01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:02,080 Speaker 21: the problem. Yeah, they'll be like okay, and then you're 2084 01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:03,880 Speaker 21: suddenly stuck with repaying a lot more of a dog 2085 01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 21: than you want to.
