1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's Heather 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected. 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: You stalk zed b. 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon, Welcome to the show Twist in the 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 3: Polkinghorn Trilay. His case has opened today. His first witness 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 3: in his defense is her sister. So we're going to 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 3: go to the reporter who's been covering that Hoe takes 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 3: over as Marty King or even queen now that King 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: Ta Hatesia has died. Will get you across that. Tim Brown, 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 3: the former All White and All Birds founder, on buying 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 3: into the Auckland FC franchise, and Jody O'donald TV and 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 3: z's boss on the massive loss they've just posted. 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: Heather duplessy Ellen, Yeah, it looks. 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 3: Like the trouble is not nearly close to being over 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 3: for TV and Z. The news out today is that 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 3: they've made the loss that we were expecting about twenty 17 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: nine million bucks, and it is not ending there. They 18 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: now have to find another thirty million dollars worth of 19 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: savings to make another thirty million, which basically what they've 20 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: just done, and they need to do that fast. So 21 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: I would say brace yourself, because it's almost certain shows 22 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 3: are going to be cut again and staff are going 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: to be fired again. Already, the rumors are that Breakfast 24 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: is in the boss's sites. And the reason that everybody's 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: worried about Breakfast is because the contracts for that show 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: run out in December. And TVNZ has pretty much made 27 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 3: this rumor worse because they've put up an advert looking 28 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: for a foreign producer for Breakfast, and in bold in 29 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: the ad it says, this is a fixed term contract 30 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 3: until the end of the year. I mean, why would 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: you be hiring somebody what is it August just through 32 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: to the end of the year, right. It started to 33 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 3: raise the questions all over again. Now TV and said 34 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 3: says there's nothing to see here, but you know, thirty 35 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: million dollars worth of savings says there is something to 36 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 3: see here and pretty much almost everywhere. And the reason 37 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: that we can say with confidence that shows have to 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 3: be cut is because that is the only way that 39 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 3: you're going to come anywhere close to finding thirty million 40 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: dollars worth of savings. And even then, you're not going 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: to come close by cutting shows. That gets you the closest, 42 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: but it's still way away. Remember all that cutting that 43 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: they did with fair Go and Sunday and the staff 44 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 3: and reducing Shorty Street and just everything else they were doing. 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 3: That only saved them ten million dollars. That's all, So 46 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: as you can see. As you can see, they are 47 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: going to have to cut pretty deep this time around, 48 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 3: and they can't be rescued all that much by trying 49 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 3: to find new income off the internet streaming service TV 50 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: and Z plus, because from what I've been told today, 51 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: sticking anything behind a play wall there to make money 52 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: is years away. They haven't got they haven't got the 53 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: digital ability to do that yet, so that's years away. 54 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: They have to find money this year. So this is 55 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: my prediction. They will cut shows, and the shows that 56 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: they will cut will be local shows because local shows 57 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: are way more expensive than foreign content. And maybe maybe 58 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: they will even cut some of their expensive stars because 59 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: as I say, thirty million dollars is a lot of 60 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 3: money to find all over. 61 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: Again whatever duplus La Jodie. 62 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: O'donald, the TV and Z chief executive, is going to 63 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: be with us after six o'clock now nine two, nine 64 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: to two. By the way, standard techs fees apply, exchanges 65 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: are coming for workers in the UK, they're going to 66 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: be allowed to demand a full day working week from 67 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: their bosses. The Telegraph is reporting the new law will 68 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: mean that employees can work their contracted weeks hours in 69 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: four days rather than five if it suits them. Massy 70 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 3: University Professor of Management and Maori Business Jared Hars with us. Now, hey, 71 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 3: Jared Cureda, how you doing. I'm well, thank you mate. 72 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 3: I mean this is obvious. It's obviously not going to 73 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: work for all industries. But is it going to work 74 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: for the majority or a minority? 75 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: I I don't know for it to work for the majority. Actually, 76 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 4: I think one of the things is there might be 77 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: a lot of people who could work for ten hour 78 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: days until you start working for ten hour day weeks, 79 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: and then I think people will go, oh my gosh, 80 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 4: this is actually quite hard on the body, because it is. 81 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 4: That's what the research tells us. So I wouldn't be 82 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 4: surprised if a lot of people try it and then 83 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 4: they revert back to where they were. 84 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: What does it do for productivity? 85 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: Well, in some respects you are trying to cram it 86 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: all in, you know. I think the trouble is that 87 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: to achieve let's say forty hours of work in four days. 88 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 4: For ten hour days, you do have to physically mentally 89 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 4: stretch yourself further than five eight hour days. So what 90 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 4: typically happens is that productivity might might achieve the same 91 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 4: kind of level, but people burn out for example, know, 92 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 4: the wellbeing suffers. So I don't think it's it'll be. 93 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 4: I mean, some people might love it, but I wouldn't 94 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: be surprised if we find a lot of people go yes, 95 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 4: but no thanks. 96 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 3: And what about the bosses. Are the bosses going to 97 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: love it or not? 98 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: Well, that's a great point, right because they may find 99 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 4: their you know, the senior leadership team is saying no, 100 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 4: you can't work for I need you here to manage 101 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 4: the rest of the office five days a week. Although 102 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: we have found in the working from home that often 103 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 4: managers who work from home while demanding that their workers 104 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: don't work from home, for example, So it might be 105 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: one of those things manage to use it. 106 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: I reckon the bosses are going to hate it, because 107 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: if you think about it, right, the boss is turning 108 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: up let's say five days a week, and that even 109 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: though over there down the road is pulling full forty hours, 110 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: suddenly on a Friday, you can't get hold of them 111 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 3: because it's their day off and that would eventually just 112 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: wind you up, wouldn't it. 113 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's part of the dynamic, right, 114 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 4: So you might have people working Monday to Thursday and 115 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: maybe maybe the other group are working Tuesday to Friday. 116 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 4: You know that those There are ways around it, and 117 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: I guess the thing here is that it just gives 118 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 4: them the opportunity to consider it. There's no guarantee, we'll 119 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: see you know. UK firms are rushing to adopt a 120 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 4: compressed work week, that's for sure. 121 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: Hey did you see that Kiwi billionaire over in Australia 122 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: who wants to hold his work as captive and won't 123 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: even let them go out for a coffee? 124 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: Yeah? I did laugh at that. You mean that the 125 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 4: billionaire on six million Australia. The Yeah, Yeah, they know 126 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 4: you can't go next door to get a coffee. You 127 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 4: have to drink in our workplace. 128 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 3: That's the one. So what he's got is he's got 129 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: a daycare there, he's got an art gallery at the workplace, 130 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: he's got the coffee place at the workplace, he's got 131 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 3: the gym there, He's got everything so that they don't 132 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: have to leave. This doesn't feel like a good idea, 133 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: because surely sometimes just getting out and getting some fresh 134 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: air and getting away from the desk actually makes you 135 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: alert and productive and start all over again. 136 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the research tells us we sometimes it's just that, 137 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 4: you know, you go for a walk, you're having coffee 138 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: somewhere else, maybe you're laughing about how bad that coffee is, 139 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 4: but then all of a sudden, you know, the light 140 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: bulb strikes in your brain. And so getting out of 141 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: the workplace can definitely be a beneficial thing. I noticed 142 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: that he doesn't allow working from home, for example, So 143 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 4: he does sound a little bit especially when he talks about, 144 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: you know, chaining them to the workplace type thing, sounds 145 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: a little bit controlling whoatrolling end, and workers respond well 146 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: when they have freedom and autonomy. 147 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: I don't think he'd be easy to be married to. Jared, 148 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: Thank you very much, really appreciate Jared hah Massi University 149 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: Professor of Management and Marty Business. I'll get you across. 150 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: This guy's name is Chris Allison. He's the chief executive 151 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: of the Australian mining giant Mineral Resources. He says he's on. 152 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: This is the Perth headquarters on site. They have a gym, 153 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: a restaurant, they have nurses and doctors. I mean they're like, 154 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 3: some of this is going to be reasonably convenient news 155 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: unless they're until they're like, no, you must go to 156 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: this doctor and I want to go to my other doctor. 157 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: You've got to go to this doctor. Psychologists on the 158 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: payroll to tackle any mental health issues, as well as 159 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: other facilities to keep the staff there. They've got a 160 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: craze which costs employees twenty bucks a day, which you 161 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: know is wonderful. They've got everything going on, art galleryander chef. 162 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 3: He says, I want to hold them captive all day long. 163 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: I don't want them leaving the building.

I don't know if you've caught up 202 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: on this, but the crane dropped the boat on concrete 203 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: after the race this morning, and it sounds like it 204 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: was hard. Has led to a crack in the hole, 205 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 3: and it's not clear whether they're definitely not racing on 206 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 3: the second day, and it's because of this, and it's 207 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 3: not clear if they're going to race it all because 208 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 3: they basically have to try and fix the thing. Jason 209 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 3: Pine Weekend Sport Hosters with US now Piney. 210 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 8: Hello, hello head. 211 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: Do we know whether they're going to be able to 212 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: fix this or not? 213 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 8: I think I'll fix it. What they've got on their 214 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 8: side is time, because they're only racing in the Louis 215 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 8: Vuton series really just to get some racism, you know, 216 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 8: they change the rules so that they could race against 217 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 8: these other boats, get some time on the water, that 218 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 8: sort of thing. The America's Cup match itself doesn't start 219 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 8: until October. Having said that, any delay to their you know, 220 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 8: to their plan of having time on the water, it 221 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 8: is not going to be ideal. Yeah, I haven't heard 222 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 8: any more than what you've just read out and that, 223 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 8: I mean, a crack in the hole doesn't sound good 224 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 8: for a boat, I must say. I'm not sure that's exactly. 225 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 8: I'm not sure that's exactly. 226 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 3: Anyhow do you drop a boat with a crane? I mean, 227 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: was this deliberate? 228 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 9: Yeah? 229 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 8: You reckon it was someone from Lunar Rossa. I reckon The. 230 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 3: Crime makes the story better, though, doesn't it is that's 231 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 3: better than incompetence. 232 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you're right. I read some stuff and 233 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 8: it said there was some concerned looks. I don't even 234 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 8: know what that means. I mean, i'd be concerned of anything, 235 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 8: whether it means the boat can't sail or whether it's 236 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 8: just got a little crack in the side. But yeah, 237 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 8: it's obviously not ideal, so I'll wait and see what. 238 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 3: They're not at all. Hey, listen, how are you feeling 239 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: about the All Blacks feed the spring box this weekend? 240 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 8: I feel well, I'm very, very excited about the game. 241 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 8: I think, outside of Rugby World Cups, I can't remember 242 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 8: feelings as excited about an All Blacks game as this one. 243 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 8: I mean, Alice Park, you know sixty five thousand South 244 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 8: Africa World Champions beat us by a point, but I reckon, 245 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 8: you know, we don't lose it out lost part that 246 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 8: often with one three of the last four there. I 247 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 8: get the feeling that the All Blacks will quite fancy 248 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 8: the very rare circumstance of being underdogs and this one. 249 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 8: I like the team. I like the fact Sam kines 250 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 8: in there. Yeah, I'm I'm actually, I'm actually very curious 251 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 8: to see what happens. And I think we all just 252 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 8: expect the All Blacks to win every time they play, 253 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 8: but there'll be underdogs for this one without a doubt. 254 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 8: So that girl beat their chest a bit and bring physicality. 255 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 8: So yeah, really, And I like getting up in the 256 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 8: middle of the night to watch rugby. It's a bit 257 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 8: of a throwback. 258 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: Are you going to set the old two thirty alarm? 259 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 8: Are you one hundred percent? I can't see. I can't 260 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 8: do a I don't know. Can you like get up 261 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 8: at say seven or a more civilized hour and watch 262 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 8: a replay knowing that it's not live, even if you 263 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 8: don't know the score? 264 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 2: Can you do that? 265 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: It's hard? No, I don't do that. I know, I try. No, 266 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: but I don't remember. Heart's not in the day. I'm 267 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: usually busy doing something else, like playing cross Ridge on 268 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 3: my phone. 269 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 8: Okay, you know, like I just can't. Like I couldn't 270 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 8: because I just know it wasn't live. I'd know that 271 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 8: if I wanted to, I could go and look at 272 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 8: the score. So no, no, I'll be up, but I'll 273 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 8: be up just before three to check it out from Alex. 274 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 3: Okay, now, So why has Sophie Devine really stood down 275 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: as the White Fun's Tea twenty captain? Is because? Is 276 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 3: it because they suck? 277 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 8: Well? I don't know. I don't think it's quite as 278 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 8: cut and dry as that. She's still going to take 279 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 8: the team or lead the teenth of the World Cup, 280 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 8: the T twenty World Cup, which is in October. I 281 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 8: just think she looks looks and looks ahead and thinks, Okay, 282 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 8: my time in this team is probably coming towards an end, 283 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 8: so so let's try something new. Look to me, it's 284 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 8: obvious who takes over mealy Kerr takes over the running 285 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 8: of this team and takes it into its next stage 286 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 8: of its development, which hopefully has a bit more success 287 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 8: than the one we've had. Sophie devine, wonderful cricket, a 288 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 8: terrific batter, amazing striker of the ball, but just hasn't 289 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 8: been able to lead either the T twenty side or 290 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 8: the fifty overside actually to any great degree of consistent success. 291 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 8: So maybe she's had a look at herself and say, Okay, 292 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 8: well I'm better value to this team as a batter. 293 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 8: Only let somebody else lead and make the decisions raw 294 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 8: bowling changes I sit for and see how we go there. 295 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, Pinney, listen, thank you very much and enjoy enjoy 296 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 3: the rugby this weekend.

He is 331 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 10: so smart and loyal to the American people. 332 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: And then she was asked about the day that Joe 333 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 3: Biden decided to pull out of the race and endorse 334 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: her instead. 335 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 10: It was a Sunday, So here, I'll give you a 336 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 10: little too much information. 337 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 11: Go for it. 338 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 12: There's no such thing, Adam, Vice President. 339 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: My family was staying with us. 340 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 10: We were sitting down to do a pub and the 341 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 10: phone rang and it was Joe Biden and he told 342 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 10: me what he had decided to do. And I asked him, 343 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 10: are you sure? And he said yes, And and that's 344 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 10: how I learned about it. 345 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: She's boring. She's boring. I told you she's boring, and this, 346 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 3: and she is boring. And in the interview she's boring. 347 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: And that's why she took Tim Walks with her, because 348 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 3: he's not boring, he's interesting. She is boring. This is 349 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: why this is the very thing that I was worried 350 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 3: was going to happen for her. This is why they 351 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 3: haven't done any sit down interviews with her, because everything 352 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: around her has been really exciting, Like the Obamas have 353 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 3: been exciting, and Oprah has been exciting, and John Legend's 354 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: been exciting, and the possibility beyond has been exciting and 355 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 3: the whole thing, the momentum, yay, and then when you 356 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 3: actually like the whole thing is really exciting until you 357 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: hear her and then you're like, oh, it's like the 358 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: air going out of a balloon. Anyway, we'll have a 359 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 3: chat to a correspondent about it shortly and headlines right away. 360 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: Hard questions, strong opinion, Heather Duper see Ellen Drive with 361 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: One New Zealand. Let's get connected and news talk as 362 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: it'd be. 363 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 3: Hey, we're going to tap into the Pulpenhorn trial after 364 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: five o'clock. I'll get you across everything you need to 365 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: know before that. Craig Capatan is our reporter who's been 366 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: in court today for that. Well, hither I would take 367 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 3: boring any day. It's not. America's got talent. Very good point. 368 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: And then the question do you remember John Howard followed 369 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 3: by another text from somebody else completely saying he was 370 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 3: the most boring man in the world, but he was 371 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 3: a great prime minister either. Chris Luxeen is riveting man. 372 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: Can he tell a story as if to say there's 373 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 3: another boring world leader, etc. I take your point, and 374 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 3: I take your point. All I'm trying to say is 375 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: that this is why that she is boring, isn't she 376 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 3: That's not altogether the worst thing in the world, but 377 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: it is why in part of trying to keep her 378 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 3: away from the interviews and stuff like that. Anyway, we're 379 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 3: going to talk to our correspondent shortly and we'll get 380 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 3: his take on it. Finally got a timeline for when 381 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 3: the cops are going to stop doing those mental health callouts. 382 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 3: It's going to be a November. So they are not 383 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 3: going to go if there's somebody wandering down the road 384 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: foaming in the mouth, talking to themselves and hassling people 385 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: like which is literally what I saw this week on 386 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 3: Ponsonby Road. They're not going to be coming to that. 387 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: They're only going to be going to the ones where 388 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 3: there is an immediate risk to life and safety. So 389 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 3: somebody's having a mental health crisis and wanting to hurt 390 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 3: people or themselves, that is when the cops are going 391 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 3: to turn up, and everything else will be directed to 392 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 3: quote more appropriate services. Now this beaks the question who 393 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 3: is going to turn up when you've got the guy 394 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 3: wandering down the road, foaming at the mouth and hassling people, 395 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 3: and you know a bunch of school kids in school uniforms, 396 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 3: being quite freaked out and calling parents on the phone 397 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Who comes to that. The minister 398 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 3: in charge of this, Matt Doocy, he's the mental health minister. 399 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: He's with us called past five. Hopefully he can shed 400 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 3: some light there. Twenty three away from five. Right now, it's. 401 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: The world wires on news talks. It'd be drive so. 402 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 3: In that interview, Kamala Harris has revealed that if she wins, 403 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 3: she'd be happy to have a Republican in her cabinet. 404 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 10: I think it's important to have people at the table 405 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 10: and when some of the most important decisions are being 406 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 10: made that have different views, different experiences, and I think 407 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 10: it would be to the benefit of the American public 408 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 10: to have a member of my cabinet. 409 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 3: Who was a Republican. And she was also asked to 410 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 3: respond to Donald Trump's comments on her race. She didn't 411 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 3: have a lot to say. 412 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 10: Same old tired playbook, next question, please, that's it. 413 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 3: Israel and Hamas have agreed to a series of three 414 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 3: day truces in the Gaza Strip in September. Now while 415 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: the fighting is on hold, children in the area we 416 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: vaccinated against polio A UNICEF spokesperson says polio has become 417 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 3: a real problem in Gaza since the war broke out. 418 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 5: Six hundred thousand children plus need to be vaccinated. They 419 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 5: missed previous rounds of routine vaccination, and the poliovirus, which 420 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 5: had been this vanished from the region for twenty five years, 421 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 5: is now back and making a strong comeback. So we 422 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 5: need to make sure that this campaign has. 423 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 3: Rolled out and finally when it takes it. The Laver 424 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 3: has become the latest artist to ask the US presidential 425 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 3: candidate Donald Trump to please stop using their songs. Universal Music, 426 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 3: which is the record company that represents them, says the 427 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 3: Trump campaign has not obtained permission or a license to 428 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: use the band's work, and what they've been using in 429 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 3: the Trump campaign is the winner takes it all. This 430 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 3: banger dancing queen and obviously money money. 431 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: Money, international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 432 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 433 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 3: Right, So back to Kamala Harris and the much anticipated interview, 434 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 3: the first one since becoming the Democratic nominee for president. 435 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 3: US correspondent Benji Higher and Washington has been watching the 436 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 3: interview for US A Benji hayb Ok give it to 437 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: me out of ten. How did it go for her? 438 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 13: I thought it was solid, if unspectacular, and ultimately that's 439 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 13: what her campaign would have wanted all alone, you know, 440 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 13: to avoid any sort of catastrophic slip up. Frankly, that 441 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 13: could have been the banan appeal to spoil her campaign, 442 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 13: which has ridden on a wave of momentum so far. 443 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 13: And I'm not going to suggest that she's won over 444 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 13: a ton of voters through this interview alone. But ultimately, 445 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 13: Kamala Howis's reputation was all about being good at asking questions, 446 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 13: not necessarily answering them, and she had faced accusations that 447 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 13: she'd been hiding from the press in recent weeks by 448 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 13: not taking this sit down in depth, on the record conversation. 449 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 13: Now she's done this interview answering those questions on important 450 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 13: issues like the economy, like immigration. Yes, there will still 451 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 13: be criticism from her rivals about some positions on which 452 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 13: she's flipped in a way to I think just managed 453 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 13: to non alienate some voters on key issues, but she 454 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 13: remained uns I think from this interview experience and can 455 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 13: now push on and move on with her campaign being 456 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 13: able to say, well, I've done it. I've been held 457 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 13: to account and I presented my vision to the country. 458 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 3: She's been getting grief even today for having Ton Waltz, 459 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 3: theird babysit herd. Did she actually need him in the inn? 460 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: Well? 461 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 13: I think what's interesting about this is two things. One is, 462 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 13: if you look at precedent, it is entirely normal for 463 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 13: when the presidential candidate hosts their first interview of this 464 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 13: kind as a nominee, for them to have their running mates, 465 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 13: their vice presidential pick by their side. It happened with 466 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 13: Barack Obama and Joe Biden. It happened with Hillary Clinton 467 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 13: and Tim Kaine. It happened just the other week with 468 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 13: Donald Trump and Senator jd Vance. So this is, you know, 469 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 13: nothing strange or unique. It's not like she was using 470 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 13: him as protection. What it is also interesting is that 471 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 13: it so happens that he took much of the flack, 472 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 13: much of the cis from CNN during this interview, where 473 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 13: he was probed on some of the comments that he 474 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 13: made but could be potentially misleading about guns, about IVF, 475 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 13: the treatment that he used in order to help him 476 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 13: and his wife give birth to their daughter, Hope. But 477 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 13: ultimately what it did allow for is some more lighthearted 478 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 13: conversation towards the end of the interview about Tim Walls's 479 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 13: pride in his son, a moment that went viral during 480 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 13: the Democratic National Convention where his son was proudly cheering 481 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 13: on his father, And I think that would be helpful 482 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 13: in a campaign which is so much about personality and 483 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 13: vibes just as much as policy. 484 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 3: Hey, was this the first time that we'd actually heard 485 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 3: Tim Waltz himself admit that he hadn't been to war 486 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: since the comment? 487 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 13: Yeah, so this is a comment about him saying that 488 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 13: he was using weapons of war and that he wouldn't 489 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 13: want them to be used in other sort of setting. 490 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 13: You know, the idea of school shootings being an unfortunately 491 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 13: rife epidemic in the United States. So a really important 492 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 13: subject that's worth speaking about, but has been sort of 493 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 13: undermined by these comments that Republicans especially have pounced upon, 494 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 13: saying that Timboles was misleading in these remarks. He didn't 495 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 13: actually hold a weapon in war. He has clarified that 496 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 13: position in the past through statements, but this was different 497 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 13: because it was on air and he said that he 498 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 13: just you know, made a mistake over wording it wasn't. 499 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 13: It wasn't a guy that's used to grammar and this, 500 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 13: that and the other, which I think he'd kind of 501 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 13: managed to get away with for now. But ultimately this 502 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 13: is going to continue to be an attack line by Republicans, 503 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 13: which he claims is personal, and ultimately there is precedent 504 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 13: for that. If you look at a number of the 505 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 13: rhetoric that comes from Republicans, it is attacking Timballs and 506 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 13: Kamala Harris as people, as individuals. I mean, some of 507 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 13: Donald Trump's attacks on Kamala Harris had been racial or 508 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 13: misogynistic in nature, and I think that actually the Democrats 509 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 13: will happily take those if it means that Donald Trump 510 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 13: isn't focusing on policy issues like the economy, like immigration, 511 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 13: where in fact, how it could be seen as more vulnerable. 512 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 3: Benji, thank you so much for your insight, really appreciated, 513 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,239 Speaker 3: as Benji Higher, the US correspondent in Washington, DC who 514 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: watched the interview for US. By the way, on ever 515 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: asking Donald Trump to stop playing the song songs, they 516 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: are just the latest in a long line of artists 517 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 3: have now asked them to please stop. You got the 518 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 3: Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen Rihanna, Prince Adele and obviously not 519 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 3: Prince himself, right, but representatives for and also Beyonce. But 520 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: this was because he was playing beyonce song Freedom. But 521 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 3: then oh, Mike Camela runs Beyonce's song Freedom and Beyonce 522 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: is totally fine with it. It is much easier, right. I 523 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 3: don't know if you've noticed this, but it's much easier 524 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 3: to be a Democrat running for president in terms of 525 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: the music because everybody, like all the musicians love the Democrats. 526 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 3: So the happy for the Democrats to use the music. 527 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: But when the Republicans use it, and especially Trump, no, 528 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 3: thank you. 529 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: Very Sober's next politics was centrics credit, check your customers 530 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: and get payments. 531 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: Certainty, very so, senior political correspondent with US Now Barry. 532 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 10: Hello, good afternoon, Heather. 533 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 3: Who succeeds King tu Haitia. 534 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 14: Well that's an interesting one, isn't it, Because it was 535 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 14: only a couple of years ago that his oldest son, 536 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 14: and that would be assumed because it was King to 537 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 14: Haitia's mother, Dame Tete Rengui Kahu, who I knew relatively well. 538 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 14: He was the next in line in terms of the family. Well, 539 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 14: the king's oldest son Fatumwana Paky he would normal under 540 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 14: normal circumstances. Jordan Magen succeed the king, but the King 541 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 14: disowned him essentially when he got married a couple of 542 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 14: years ago, and then added insult to injury by stripping 543 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 14: him of his royal title. 544 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 10: So whether whether. 545 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 14: In fact he now can step up is another matter. 546 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 14: But it's interesting, isn't it. King to hay Tea, the 547 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 14: condolences and messages that have flowed in from around the world. 548 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 14: King Charles sent a message He had met to Haitia, 549 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 14: he said, on a number of occasions, and he said 550 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 14: that his death was a particular shock to him, given 551 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 14: the fact that he had been recently talking to King 552 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 14: to ha Tea on the telephone at the beginning of 553 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 14: this month. So you know, the pair obviously got on well. 554 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 14: And all the photos that I've seen of them, the 555 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 14: two of them together, they are always seemed to be 556 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 14: laughing and joking. Is it's a time for maldi And 557 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 14: I was at Dame Tiata her funeral and it's or Tonguey. 558 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 14: It's massive and it will be massive, no doubt at 559 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 14: turanngawai Wa next week. 560 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 3: It's an awkward time to be isn't it for I 561 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 3: suppose the Mary world to be changing the king here 562 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 3: because just because of what a unifier he's been with 563 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 3: all of the race relations policies and stuff like that, 564 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 3: it just it just doesn't help, does it. 565 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 11: Well. 566 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 14: The interesting thing about King to Haiti and he broke 567 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 14: from tradition and through his support at the last sorry, 568 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 14: at the twenty seventeen election behind the Maldi Party. Now 569 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 14: you'd naturally assume Maori King would support or any Maldi 570 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 14: royalty would support the Maldi Party. But that was a 571 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 14: break with tradition, and he said that the king e 572 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 14: Tunga movement will go on supporting Mary, and essentially it's 573 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 14: a Waikato movement, it's not the whole of Maldi. Yeah, 574 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 14: but you know, he broke with tradition. Then normally hither 575 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 14: in terms of succession, what happens is that on the 576 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 14: day of the funeral, when they're laid to rest at 577 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 14: the top of Tolpury Mountain, they announced the successor. Then 578 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 14: so next week the successor should be announced and it'll 579 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 14: be interesting to see if they can arrive at a conclusion. 580 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 3: By then, Ary has the Pacific Islands Forum wrapped up, 581 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 3: already has. 582 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 14: It well, it has essentially, and the leaders have been 583 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 14: at a retreat and climate change. Not surprisingly heather is 584 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 14: dominated discussion here, given that some of these small island 585 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 14: states are going to be inundated by the sea in 586 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 14: the coming decades. But interestingly, the Australian idea of supporting 587 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 14: a Pacific policing initiative that will be set up a 588 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 14: training facility in Brisbane, that got certainly the accolades from 589 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 14: the leaders attending this. And it's interesting because the Chinese 590 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 14: they've been talking about policing in the region and this 591 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 14: is obviously a play against Chinese dominance in the region. 592 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 14: So that security issue has always been very much to 593 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 14: the forefront of these leaders discussions as well. 594 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: Can you think of it now that the cops are 595 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 3: not doing the mental health callouts? Can you think of 596 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 3: who is going to take the place and do those 597 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: mental health call outs? 598 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 14: Well, I hear you going to be interviewing Matt Doosey, 599 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 14: and that'll be fascinating because that's exactly what's sprung to 600 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 14: my mind, as it did clearly yours. You know, if 601 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 14: they do get a call out, they'll have to judge 602 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 14: or the call center will have to judge whether a 603 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 14: person is an imminent danger. If they are, the police 604 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 14: would go, but if they're not. And the mental health 605 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 14: call out is a very difficult one, but you can 606 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 14: understand the resources that it takes from the police. I 607 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 14: mean they have been known to sit with for hours 608 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 14: with distress people in emergency departments. Well they won't be 609 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 14: doing that from November onwards. But exactly as you say, Heather, 610 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 14: it's going to be interesting to see who picks up 611 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 14: the sl back when a distressed person calls and who 612 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 14: makes that judgment about a mental health issue. 613 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, too, right, Barry, thank you very much, appreciate it. We' 614 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 3: wrap the political week that was with you later on 615 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 3: about quarter past six. Barry Sopa, our senior political correspondent, 616 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 3: here's a stat for you. Police receive one mental health 617 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: related call every seven minutes. That's how much of their 618 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 3: time it takes up eight away from five. 619 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: Digging into the issues that affect you the mic asking breakfast. 620 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 15: Confidence can always continue to fall, but I do maintain 621 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 15: my argument that I think I started last week. I 622 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 15: think things are turning in this country and people are 623 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 15: keen to feel better about life and having rucks and 624 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 15: everyone pays rucks. Would that make it simpler? 625 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 5: It's more about making it. 626 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 2: Fairer here everybody. 627 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 15: They picked an interviewer that really is on a hiding, 628 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 15: sadly to nothing unless she lays it out and puts 629 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 15: her on the floor. Back Monday, from six am, the 630 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 15: mic asking Breakfast with the Rain drove of the last 631 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 15: news talk z b SO on. 632 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 3: The Polkinghorn trial. The lawyer this is Polkinghorn's lawyer, Ron Mansfield, 633 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 3: has ripped into the cops today. He's saying that they 634 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: were too intoxicated by salacious details of sex and drugs 635 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: to step back and take a realistic look at what 636 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 3: was so obviously a suicide. He runs a very good lawyer, 637 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 3: very good defense lawyer. So Philip Polkinghorn's money well spent there. 638 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 3: Craig Capatan is going to be with us straight after 639 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 3: five o'clock and talk us through what's happened in court today. 640 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by the success the succession to king tu 641 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 3: Haitia because it's not actually necessarily hereditary. I mean, I 642 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,479 Speaker 3: think we all just assume it's hereditary, because you know, 643 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: the English thrown as hereditary. I'm not entirely sure that 644 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 3: it is with the Mary King situation. We're gonna have 645 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 3: a chance to Shane to Poe about this when he's 646 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 3: with us. Ten past five problems if it is hereditary, right. So, 647 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 3: the king was grooming his eldest son very clearly to 648 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 3: take over from him to be the heir. But then 649 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 3: of course he got in trouble because he married some 650 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 3: bird that the king didn't like, and as a result 651 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: they actually stripped him off his title. So then, and 652 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 3: this was very recent, this was just in the last 653 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 3: couple of years, so he's now not the chosen one anymore. 654 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 3: The second son was kind of like, yeah, he was 655 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 3: like the Harry. He was a bit problematic because he 656 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 3: had got into some trouble. Now, bearing in mind this 657 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 3: was ten years ago and that the boy might have 658 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: grown up, but he like most of us have, but 659 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 3: he got into trouble for doing things like charges of 660 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 3: drink driving, two counts of burglary, one of theft, appearing 661 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 3: in the court for that kind of thing. So they've 662 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 3: got problems with it. Tickle Morgan has come out today 663 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 3: been asked about the successor and whether it would come 664 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 3: from to Hasier's family, and he said that is not 665 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 3: our choice, meaning why cuttle Tai Nui, which suggests that 666 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 3: why cuttle Tai Nui does not want the successor to 667 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: come from within the family. So this all feels like 668 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 3: it's going to be slightly problematic. As I say, we'll 669 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 3: have a chat to shake the poe about that. Shortly. 670 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 3: It'll be with us ten past five coming up right now, 671 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 3: We've got the news and then we're cracking into the 672 00:32:53,720 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 3: polkin Corn trial. Newstoks that best. 673 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: Everybody, Everybody. 674 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 675 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: get the answers by the facts and give the analysis. 676 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: Heather duplessy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand Let's. 677 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: Get connected and news Talk said be. 678 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 3: So to the polking Horn murder trial. Today is the 679 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 3: first day of the defense for Philip Poulkinghorn. The first 680 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 3: witness called was Pauline Hannah's sister Tracy, who said she 681 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 3: believes that Pauline Hannah committed suicide. Now the Crown has 682 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 3: argued that Philip Poulkinghorn killed his wife and staged it 683 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 3: as a suicide. In April twenty twenty one, Herald Court 684 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 3: reporter Craig Capitanna's with us now, Hey Craig. What did 685 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 3: Ron Mansfield mean when he told the jury that this 686 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 3: is not the perfect murder? 687 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 16: He was basically saying to the jury, look, you have 688 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 16: two choices here. It's either were murder or a suicide. 689 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 16: But if this was a murder, it would have had 690 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 16: to have been the perfect murder to have left no 691 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 16: forensic evidence inside the house. Sort of outsmarted two pathologists 692 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 16: earlier in the trial. There were two pathologists who said 693 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 16: basically that they could only tell that she had died 694 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 16: from quote, de compression, so they couldn't say for certain 695 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 16: whether it was hanging or strangulation. And circumstantial cases a 696 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 16: lot a lot times they'll have prosecutors say something along 697 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 16: the lines of either he's guilty or simply be a 698 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 16: muppiest man in the world to have all these random, 699 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 16: suspicious things happened against him. So this is basically Ron 700 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 16: Mansfield kind of turning things on their head, saying either 701 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 16: he's not guilty or he's committed the perfect murder. 702 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 3: What did Pauline, Hannah's sister say when she. 703 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 16: Appeared, Well, the main thing we learned today was that 704 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 16: sometime in the early nineties, after the death of their father, 705 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 16: pulling hands supposedly told her that she had attempted suicide 706 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 16: during kind of in the heat of the moment during 707 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 16: an argument the farmstead in Hawk's Bay. The defense had 708 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 16: mentioned this earlier in the trial during cross examination of 709 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 16: another witness, but this is the first time George heard 710 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 16: it directly from the source. 711 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 11: It's also the. 712 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 16: First time they kind of got a feeling for this 713 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 16: painful family risked with her on one side and her 714 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 16: brother just fine for the crown. 715 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, very much. Now it's being confirmed that Philip Polkinhorn 716 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 3: himself is not going to take the stand. How did 717 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 3: Ron Mansfield explain that? 718 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 16: Yeah, he basically said police, I've already kind of had 719 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 16: the shot at his client and they kind of did 720 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 16: him dirty the first time, so he's not going to 721 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 16: let it happen again. George, earlier in the trial, had 722 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 16: already watched the video interview that they did with him 723 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 16: just a couple hours after his wife's death. He didn't 724 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 16: realize at the time that he was a suspect, so 725 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 16: he was unguarded and formal, his lawyer said, not realizing 726 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 16: that quote's going to be broadcast to the nation later on. 727 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 16: She's referring to this trial. Yeah, he said, basically, any 728 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 16: testimony that he gave on the stand now would be 729 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 16: a distraction because it would allow prosecutors to build more 730 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 16: into a sex life and drug use, and says that's 731 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 16: not really relevant to the cold heart evidence in this trial. 732 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 16: Of course, prosecutors would probably strongly disagree with that contention, Craig. 733 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 3: One of the surprises in the last few days was 734 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 3: that Medisine Ashton, the mistress, was on the witness list 735 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 3: for the prosecution, but didn't appear. Did we learn why. 736 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 16: No, I have to be very guarded. I can't say 737 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 16: anything that's not said to the jury, but I can't 738 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 16: tell you that. The jury is also curious about this. 739 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 16: They sent out a message to the judge earlier today 740 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 16: asking why she hasn't testified when she was on the list, 741 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 16: and the judge basically said, look, you have all the 742 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 16: evidence before you. I can't comment on that. You just 743 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 16: kind of have to take it as it is. But 744 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 16: you can't use that to infer anything as well. It's 745 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 16: just what it is. 746 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 3: And is it the first day that Philip Polkinghorn's kids 747 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 3: were actually there? 748 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 11: Yeah? 749 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 16: I believe so. I'm in an odd position in the 750 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 16: court rewinded. Don't get a look behind me too often, 751 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 16: but it did seem that that was the first day there. 752 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 3: Craig, it's good to talk to you. Thank you very much, 753 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 3: really appreciated, Craig Captain, the Herald's court reporter, and sorry 754 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 3: about the quality of the line. It's coming up eleven 755 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 3: past five for sel. Tributes have flowed for the Mardi 756 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 3: King on his death, including from King Charles King you 757 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 3: too hates. He had died peacefully this morning. He had 758 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 3: been in hospital recovering from heart surgery. Now, Shank the 759 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 3: Poe is a political commentator with us. Now, hey, Shane 760 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 3: killed her sha fair day. Did we know that he 761 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 3: wasn't well? 762 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 9: Well, Look, he'd looked frail, but he'd been traveling quite 763 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 9: a bit. I think he was in Paris at the 764 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 9: Olympic Games, not that long ago. But he did look 765 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 9: frail and apparently just reading the newspapers. This thetery he 766 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 9: went in full scheduled surgery. 767 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 3: Who takes over from him, now, Shane. 768 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 9: Well that'll be interesting. Then that'll be a very because 769 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 9: if we remember correct, he didn't know that he was 770 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,280 Speaker 9: going to be the king until a few days before 771 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 9: his mother passed away. I think that it's likely to 772 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 9: be one of the children. I've noticed hither that his 773 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 9: daughter has has been with him a lot. I understand 774 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 9: that she's the most fluent in that ear and is 775 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 9: very steeped in in the tick on us, so it 776 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 9: could well be her. But you know, that's a decision 777 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 9: that Tai and the king makers will make over the 778 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 9: next few days. 779 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, who gets to make this call. 780 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 9: There's a council, not only tiny Tyery Canoe, but Mary 781 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 9: leaders throughout throughout throughout al and they'll participate in that corridor, 782 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 9: and then they'll come together and the question will be 783 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 9: asked and that ear, do we agree that this person 784 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 9: will be the king or the queen? And they say 785 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 9: I And that's how it will be sorted. Though I'm 786 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 9: not sure what sort of time frame it is. I'm 787 00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 9: not an expert, but that's my understanding. 788 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 3: To go more and has already said having somebody come 789 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 3: from the family is not why cuttle Thai Nui's choice. 790 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 3: Do they have a veto power here or might they 791 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 3: just have to suck it up? 792 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 9: Well, no, I'm very surprised that till you said that, 793 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 9: but you know he would He's much closer to this 794 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 9: than than you and I am. And you know it 795 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 9: doesn't need to come from the media, Pharo. So yeah, 796 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 9: that'll be interesting if it plays out that way. 797 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 3: If the air doesn't come from within the family, who 798 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 3: can where can it come from? Literally anywhere? 799 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 9: Oh well, there has to be someone that is very 800 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 9: knowledgeable and close to Tinyi, Tini, So you know, I'm 801 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 9: not going to pick any names out of the hat. Yeah, 802 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 9: but it will be no doubt it will be somebody 803 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 9: who is known to and is knowledgeable of all things 804 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 9: tiny Shane. 805 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 3: Thank you for talking us through it. Mate, really appreciate 806 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 3: it that Shane the Poe political commentator. 807 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 2: Ether do for Sea Elan Well Hooks. 808 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 3: They regional Counsel's got a sternly worded letter from Sam 809 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 3: and Brown about that carry on with the at the meeting. 810 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 3: Not only did he have a phone call with Heineuai Lmsby, 811 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 3: the chair of the Hawks Bay Regional Council, but he 812 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: has also sent Hinuei a letter. It says it is 813 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 3: incredibly disappointed we'll managed to get our hands on it. 814 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 3: By the way, y That's why I'm reading it to you, Yay. 815 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 3: It's incredibly disappointing to see Hawks Bay Regional Council appear 816 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 3: to celebrate individuals who openly flout the law. The posting 817 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 3: of these photos undermines public confidence in the Council's commitment 818 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 3: to upholding the law and maintaining a safe and respectful 819 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 3: environment for residents in hawks Bay. New Zealanders, including the 820 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 3: ratepayers of hawks Bay, rightfully expect their representatives to adhere 821 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 3: to the highest standards of conduct. You have assured me 822 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 3: that the Council regrets what has happened, and I trust 823 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 3: that you will take immediate steps to prevent any recurrence 824 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 3: of such incidents and ensure that all future council activities 825 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 3: uphold the law. And I look forward to your response. 826 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 3: I can tell you what they're doing already at hawks 827 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 3: Bay Regional Council. They're gonna put up some signs. They've 828 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 3: got some signs they're going to put up. It says 829 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 3: gang insigniaire is not allowed in the building. They have said, 830 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 3: might need some police support around non compliance. Yes, that's 831 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,359 Speaker 3: generally how it works, because yes, I think we know 832 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 3: that gang members not really super responsive to signs. I 833 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 3: don't know about you. I don't know about your experience 834 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 3: with gang members but rules are not really a thing 835 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 3: with those guys, So good luck with the signs. But yes, 836 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 3: you're going to need the coppers. Could I told you 837 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 3: that age is I go quarter past here. Maybe TV 838 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 3: and Z could stop purchasing expensive sports programs and competing 839 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 3: with Sky because that will be costing a fortune. Actually, 840 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 3: we're going to talk to TV and z's boss about 841 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 3: what their plans are to try and save this business. 842 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 3: She's with us, Jody O'Donnell after six o'clock right now, 843 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 3: it's coming up eighteen past five. 844 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 11: Now. 845 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 3: The police have confirmed that they will start reducing the 846 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 3: number of mental health callouts that they attend, and it's 847 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 3: going to start happening from November. They're still going to 848 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 3: go to call outs that have an immediate threatening element 849 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 3: to life and safety, but everything else has now got 850 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,760 Speaker 3: to be dealt with by more appropriate services. The Minister 851 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 3: for Mental Health Mat Doosey is with us. 852 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 17: Hey, Matt, morning, oh afternoon neither yes. 853 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 3: Long day obviously long day. Who are these more appropriate services? 854 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 11: Yeah? 855 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 17: I just want to correct you bit the heather. The 856 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,760 Speaker 17: change from a police lead triple one mental health crisis 857 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 17: call out response to a multi agency response is a 858 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 17: larger program of work, a three to five year program 859 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 17: between police and health. What we've announced today is a 860 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 17: change in mental health response change program that kicks off 861 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 17: on the first in November, and there's some specific changes 862 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 17: or rebalancing. So, for instance, the first thing to be 863 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 17: focused on is when police bring in people in mental 864 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 17: health crisis for voluntary assessment. So the first piece of 865 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 17: work is just streamlining that process with an ned that 866 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 17: through the streamlining will prioritize those patients, which will allow 867 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 17: police to go back out onto the beat a lot quicker. 868 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 17: So what we've done is set out some key tasks 869 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 17: over about an eight month period where we'll change the 870 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 17: thresholds on some very specific activity. But just be very clear, 871 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 17: police will be responding. I want to thank them for 872 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 17: the great work. But the wider view is clearly, when 873 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 17: you have a mental health crisis calling up one one one, 874 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 17: you should get a mental health response, not a criminal 875 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 17: justice response. 876 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 18: No totally. 877 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 3: But who does this mental health response? 878 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 17: Well, what we're moving towards is what called a multi 879 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 17: agency response. And the reason we call it that is 880 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 17: primarily when you are in a mental health distress crisis, 881 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 17: if there is a risk to the individual or safety 882 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,760 Speaker 17: of others. Clearly police will respond, but in a mental 883 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 17: health crisis, it could be better for what we're calling 884 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 17: a co response team, which is pairing up mental health 885 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 17: professionals and police. But what's interesting in the data matching 886 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 17: that we're doing in the first year, when police are 887 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 17: coding what's called one M calls for mental health, that's 888 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 17: become a catch all. So what's happening now is some 889 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 17: people are calling up Triple one because of loneliness, a 890 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 17: relationship break down, financial pressures, and clearly that could be 891 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 17: a specific social response in itself. So that's why we're 892 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 17: building up the picture to ultimately move to a multi 893 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 17: agency response. 894 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 3: Okay, So am I right in thinking that from what 895 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 3: you're telling me, we are still years away from when 896 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 3: you see somebody walking down the road causing trouble and 897 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 3: you're worried about them and it's obviously a mental health crisis. 898 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 3: We are still years away from not calling the cops. 899 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 3: At the moment, we still continue to call the cops. 900 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 17: Yeah, So myself and Mark Mitchell took a paper on 901 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 17: this to pabnet in about May will be reporting back 902 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 17: at the end of the year, and because of issues 903 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 17: like mental health workforce development. That will be a significant 904 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 17: piece of work from three to five years. But if 905 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 17: you look at what's been announced today for the first 906 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 17: of November, there'll be streamlining of processes in the ED 907 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 17: for voluntary mental health assessments. There'll be a higher threshold 908 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 17: for transportation of mental health patients, specifically within mental health 909 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 17: FATH facility. So these are some of the smaller areas 910 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,959 Speaker 17: that we can assist police to get back on the beat. 911 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 17: But the wider issue you talk about is a three 912 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 17: to five year play. 913 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Hey, Matt, thank you very much, really appreciate that. 914 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 3: Matt Doocy, the Minister for Mental Health. Now Tim Brown, 915 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 3: former Phoenix player, former All Whites player, the dude who 916 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 3: started the All Birds, he has bought into this Auckland 917 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 3: FC club, right the new football club. I think he's 918 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,879 Speaker 3: bought a very small stake because like one point five 919 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 3: six percent or something like that, compared to for example, 920 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 3: Ali Williams and Animobray have bought something like fifteen percent. 921 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 3: But regardless, he's brought into Auckland's club when he used 922 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 3: to play for Wellington's clubs. We're going to talk to him. 923 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 3: He's in San Francisco and is very kindly given us 924 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 3: some of his time. He's going to be with us 925 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 3: in quarter of an hour, five twenty two. 926 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather Duper c 927 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: Allen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected and 928 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 1: news dogs. 929 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 3: That'd be the stern letter that sime and Center the 930 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 3: council was not going far enough their vote should be 931 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 3: invalidated due to the clear evidence present of a risk 932 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 3: of intimidation of those in the room. Gang Insignaire isn't 933 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 3: banned for esthetic reasons. It's banned because of any because 934 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 3: of the intimateary effect. I think the real intimidatary effect. 935 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 3: I think the reason Simeon can only go as far 936 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 3: as he's gone is because that is as far as 937 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,760 Speaker 3: he's gone as he can go, he can't and validate 938 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 3: their vote. I mean, there's no evidence that the gang 939 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 3: members are intimidating. I think he's probably taken it as 940 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 3: far as he can, you know, just by tuttuching like 941 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 3: an angry dad. I think it's fine. I think we're 942 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 3: starting to form a very clear picture of Hawks Bay 943 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 3: Regional Council, aren't we. Five twenty five. 944 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: Now. 945 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:36,720 Speaker 3: Look, I've really tried overnight to convince myself that Auckland 946 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,760 Speaker 3: Council did the right thing yesterday by limiting the alcohol sales, 947 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 3: and just when I thought I had, I got talked 948 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 3: out of it immediately. I just can't convince myself that 949 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 3: this was the right thing to do. I don't think 950 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 3: it's going to work. So what Auckland Council did yesterday 951 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 3: is they voted for two changes. The first is that 952 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,400 Speaker 3: Aucklanders will not be able to buy booze after nine 953 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 3: in Auckland, and the second is that they're basically the 954 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 3: council not going to allow any new booze shops Auckland 955 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 3: and West Auckland and the central city, which are the 956 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 3: problem areas. So if you live in any of these places, 957 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 3: very paternalistic now, bless because their hearts are in the 958 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 3: right place. I mean, they do want to stop the 959 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 3: absolute booze hags being able to buy any more grog 960 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 3: when they're already smashed at nine o'clock and think that 961 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 3: drinking more is a great idea. I get that, but 962 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 3: I actually think they're going about this the wrong way. 963 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 3: I mean, what difference does it really make whether there 964 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,320 Speaker 3: is one booze shop in your suburb or twenty booze 965 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 3: shops in your suburb, it's not going to change the 966 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 3: number of people who are smashed, and it's not going 967 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,720 Speaker 3: to change the level to which they're smashed. Just because 968 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 3: there are twenty boo shops does not make them any 969 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 3: more smashed. Right, you can buy as much booze from 970 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 3: one as you need, never mind the others. So i 971 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 3: just can't see how having more places to buy booze 972 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 3: from makes a difference. And I'm also not convinced that 973 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 3: cutting off booze at nine is actually going to prevent problems. 974 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 3: People will simply adjust. They will just get there before 975 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 3: nine so that they can get their booze and they 976 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 3: can pile it, and maybe for a few weeks it'll 977 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,399 Speaker 3: be a bit of a surprise that everything's closed at nine, 978 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,959 Speaker 3: But after that they'll get used to it. We saw 979 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 3: this in action in the six o'clock squill Right, people 980 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 3: just change their behavior to suit the available hours. Meanwhile, 981 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,439 Speaker 3: all it's going to do is it's going to punish 982 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 3: the people who are behaving responsibly, the tourists who's just 983 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 3: landed from overseas and wants a bottle of wine for 984 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 3: the hotel room, or the shift worker who wants to 985 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 3: get a six pack on the way home. One liquor 986 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 3: store in Mount Wellington reckons they make forty percent of 987 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 3: their sales after nine o'clock at night, and mostly it's 988 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 3: from shift workers. Like I say, I can't criticize Auckland 989 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 3: Council for what they're trying to do. I feel like 990 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 3: their hearts are in the right place. I just feel 991 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 3: like they're dealing with the wrong end of this problem. 992 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 3: Supply is not the issue. Demand is the issue. If 993 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 3: you've got people with drinking problems demanding booze, they will 994 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,600 Speaker 3: get it no matter what you do to stop them. 995 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 2: Heather do for see Allen. 996 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, the sports titles with us shortly, and we're going 997 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 3: to have to talk about the Leon McDonald's situation. The 998 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 3: All Blacks are trying very hard not to talk about Leon, 999 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 3: like just it didn't happen, It wasn't there, it was 1000 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 3: a dream. They just want to do that. But Caleb 1001 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 3: Clark has come out and said he feels so sorry 1002 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 3: for Leon. He's reached out to him to make sure 1003 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,879 Speaker 3: he's okay, and he is jet to sport huddle. 1004 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: Shortly the day's newsmakers talk to Heather first. Heather Duplessy 1005 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: Allen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected news 1006 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:12,800 Speaker 1: talk zed be. 1007 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 11: I remember when we were driving. 1008 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,879 Speaker 1: Driving in your car, speed's a fast Feller car. 1009 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 10: Seriously before it's in your arm. 1010 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 3: Fell Jedie O'Donnell, who's TV's it's chief executive, is going 1011 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,160 Speaker 3: to be with us. After six we had the sports 1012 00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 3: huddle standing by to talk about everything including the dropping 1013 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 3: the dropping off the boat by the crane on the concrete. 1014 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,120 Speaker 3: Heather nanaiah Ma Hootera is next in line. Next Marty Queen. 1015 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 3: You heard it here first. That's from Anthony, not the 1016 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 3: first time I've heard that, and actually also from at 1017 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 3: least one source who may be sort of like close 1018 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,360 Speaker 3: ish to knowing what's going on. It's not the craziest 1019 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 3: idea actually that you've ever heard, because Nanaya comes from 1020 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 3: that part of the world. She comes from two dungawai 1021 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 3: Wai is her I think a term at I close 1022 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 3: to the family. She's got Mona. She really in the 1023 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,720 Speaker 3: last to improved herself to be quite an advocate for Mardy. 1024 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,479 Speaker 3: She pushed it really hard she doesn't have a job, 1025 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,800 Speaker 3: and if she's the queen, she doesn't have travel. She 1026 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 3: doesn't like to travel, So who knows it wouldn't be 1027 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 3: the craziest idea twenty four away from six now, All 1028 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 3: Birds founder and former All Whites footballer Tim Brown has 1029 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 3: brought into the New Auckland FC, a league franchise. He's 1030 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,479 Speaker 3: taken a one point five percent a one point five 1031 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 3: six percent stake in the club, alongside former All Whites 1032 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 3: Winston Reed and Noah Hicky and Tim Brown's in San Francisco. 1033 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 2: Hay, Tim, how are you doing? 1034 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 14: Tim? 1035 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 3: I'm well, But how have you changed loyalties like this? 1036 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 3: He used to play for the Phoenix Man. 1037 00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:42,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I did. 1038 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 12: Yeah in My family's still in Wellington and I grew 1039 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 12: up in Wellington. But look, the opportunity came when I 1040 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 12: met Bill Foley a number of months ago and I 1041 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,280 Speaker 12: jumped on it. Look, I think this is about New Zealand. 1042 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,880 Speaker 12: It's about New Zealand sport. It's about one of the 1043 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,840 Speaker 12: biggest cities in the world that doesn't you'd have a 1044 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,520 Speaker 12: professional football team, and it's so exciting and it's really 1045 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 12: a privilege to be a part of it. 1046 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 3: Do you do you reckon that this could turn into 1047 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 3: something bigger than the Phoenix has managed to turn into 1048 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:11,360 Speaker 3: in Wellington. 1049 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 11: I think so, yeah, I think so. 1050 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 12: I mean, you know, it's immense club initially and then 1051 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:23,439 Speaker 12: it'll be a women's club, you know. I think there's 1052 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,320 Speaker 12: so much potential for the sport of football to connect 1053 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 12: into Asia and into the world. I think coming off 1054 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 12: the Olympics, you know, anyone who doesn't understand the power 1055 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 12: of sport, you know, to connect people and for it 1056 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,280 Speaker 12: to be a way that New Zealand values are exported 1057 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 12: to the world, I don't think they're looking at this 1058 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 12: the right way. And certainly someone who lives in America. 1059 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 12: You know, the Football World Cup's going to be here 1060 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 12: in twenty twenty six, the Olympics in twenty twenty eight, 1061 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 12: the Rugby World Cup in twenty thirty one, so you know, 1062 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 12: sported its best does some great stuff for us. And 1063 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 12: then on a grassroots level, you know, there's forty odd 1064 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,719 Speaker 12: thousand young kids playing soccer you know every weekend in 1065 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 12: Orcyland and seveney odd clubs, and then the rivalry with 1066 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,000 Speaker 12: Wellington is only going to be a good thing. So 1067 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 12: I see nothing but good coming from this. 1068 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 3: But okay, so what do you think is the secret 1069 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 3: ingredient that makes the Auckland club bigger than the Phoenix? 1070 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 3: Is it, Bill Foley? Is it the size of Auckland? 1071 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 1: What is it? 1072 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:16,760 Speaker 11: Well? 1073 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 12: Nothing yet it hasn't played a game. And Wellington I 1074 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,399 Speaker 12: know I've played for them, has done a great job 1075 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 12: and last year on the field performed really really well. 1076 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 12: I mean, I think what Bill Foley brings first of 1077 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 12: all is a deep love for New Zealand and he's 1078 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:37,680 Speaker 12: also got a really extraordinary expertise in building successful clubs. 1079 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 11: The Las Vegas Golden. 1080 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 12: Knights is the ice hockey team in the NAHL, arguably 1081 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,320 Speaker 12: one of the most successful new franchises in American sport, 1082 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 12: which is saying something. No one thought that ice hockey 1083 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 12: could work in the desert, and he bought it there 1084 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 12: and then won a Stanley Cup in the third or 1085 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 12: fourth season, and it's now one of the most valuable 1086 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 12: franchises in that league. What he's done with Bourne, with 1087 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 12: in the Premier League and then now growing network of 1088 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 12: football clubs around the world in France and Scotland and 1089 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 12: other places. You know, it's a really amazing opportunity for 1090 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 12: young Kiwi boys and girls and players to have an 1091 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,359 Speaker 12: opportunity at this club and hopefully take their talents around 1092 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 12: the world on the back of it. 1093 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 3: I got to ask you about All Birds. Do you 1094 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 3: have much confidences can turn around? I'm getting a bit worried. 1095 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 19: Good pivot, I really do? 1096 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 11: You know? 1097 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,920 Speaker 12: People forget that All Birds is not even ten years old. 1098 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 12: But before it became a business in San Francisco, you know, 1099 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 12: I know personally it was a bad idea for a 1100 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 12: long time. And yeah, people came out of the woodwork 1101 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 12: to say it would never work, and then we had 1102 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,240 Speaker 12: a glorious run and then now we're back in another 1103 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,920 Speaker 12: chapter where people are doubting it. Look, we just came 1104 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,399 Speaker 12: out of a board meeting today. There's so many good 1105 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 12: things happening. There's a lot of work to do, but gosh, 1106 00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 12: the comeback would would be really lovely. 1107 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,319 Speaker 2: But I believe it can happen. 1108 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 3: Are you guys preparing though, for the chance of dlisting? 1109 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:08,879 Speaker 12: No? 1110 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 3: Right, so you're confidence of what it'll stay on the NASDAC, Yes, 1111 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 3: I love the confidence.

Don't worry about that. 1154 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,640 Speaker 3: Nick. Have you ever been there? I have. 1155 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 18: Actually I was there when the Black Cats played South 1156 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,799 Speaker 18: Africa and the protest and I'm not gonna lie I was. 1157 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 18: I was sort of I was terrifying, yeah, because I sort. 1158 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 8: Of didn't know what I could and couldn't do. 1159 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 18: And I basically was just like I felt like I 1160 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 18: was in prison. I was just stuck in the hotel thinking, oh, 1161 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 18: I can't go out, I can't do anything. I'm going 1162 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 18: to be murdered. Of course I wasn't murder because I 1163 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 18: wouldn't be talking to you today. But I don't know 1164 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,640 Speaker 18: how things have changed. But yes, I have definitely been there. 1165 00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 18: But I'm a little bit jealous of Elliott right now. 1166 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 3: Ellia's doing a good job. 1167 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1168 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,400 Speaker 3: Actually I almost got carjacked when I was there, so 1169 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,439 Speaker 3: I might tell that story later on. But anyway, listen, 1170 00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 3: I want to talk about the America's Cup, Nikki. So 1171 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:58,319 Speaker 3: the America's Cup boat got dropped by the crane. Are 1172 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,080 Speaker 3: we stuffed or is it going to be fine? 1173 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 12: Oh? 1174 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 18: No, look it'll be fine. I think the good thing 1175 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 18: about it is when these things happen and you've got 1176 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 18: time on your side. You know, they've got an amazing 1177 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 18: crew of people and they will get that boat tie 1178 00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 18: Hordle back up and running in time for the October 1179 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 18: America's Cup. What it does tell me, though, is it 1180 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 18: just shows the vulnerability of these vessels, you know, like 1181 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 18: they are so fragile, they are so finely tuned. You 1182 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 18: are only allowed one of them, so you don't need 1183 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 18: to stuff it up, and you would have to sit 1184 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,920 Speaker 18: there and say, well, if it does drop, you know, 1185 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 18: if it does drop off its foils, if it does capsize, 1186 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 18: if it's sabotaged, whatever, this whole America's Cup can be 1187 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 18: turned on its head, you know, very quickly. And it 1188 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 18: makes me a little bit nervous about that going forward. 1189 00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 3: Right, Elliott, how do you drop? How does a crane 1190 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 3: drop a boat? 1191 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 11: Yeah? 1192 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 20: You think this would be that the one thing that 1193 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 20: you would make sure would not absolutely happen. Look, accidents 1194 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 20: do happen, I guess, but a crane dropping a boat 1195 00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 20: just seems like one of those ones that you'd be 1196 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 20: ultimately protected against if you were Team New Zealand. And 1197 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 20: look at this is you know, the right timing is, 1198 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 20: as Nicki said, around this because they're only in the 1199 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 20: Louis Vaitton series, it doesn't really matter how they race 1200 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 20: in these ones. It's the America's Cup officially that counts 1201 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 20: in a month or so's time. So timing is everything. 1202 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 20: But let's just hope the damage isn't too bad. You 1203 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,560 Speaker 20: think back to the last time around and American Magic, 1204 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 20: who had that massive hole ripped in the side of 1205 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:27,960 Speaker 20: the vessel, and basically that was put to their America's 1206 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 20: Cup dream really, so hopefully they get in there and 1207 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,360 Speaker 20: figure out the damage isn't too bad and they can 1208 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:33,840 Speaker 20: get on the water again in a few days time. 1209 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully So all right, guys, we have to talk 1210 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 3: about the All Blacks chances of Dallas Park. We'll do 1211 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 3: that next quarter two. 1212 00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: Friday Sports Huddle with New Zealand southebys International Realty, unparallel 1213 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: reach and results right well. 1214 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 3: With Elliot Smith and Nicky Styris. Elliott, what do you reckon? 1215 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 3: How do you rate our chances against the spring Box? 1216 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 2: Oh? 1217 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 20: I think the All Blacks are certainly underdogs for this match. 1218 00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,479 Speaker 20: Home advantage for the spring Box have improved since last 1219 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,280 Speaker 20: year's World Cup. I think the All Blacks still finding 1220 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 20: their feet under the new coaching regime, and we probably 1221 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 20: haven't seen the game plan or the breakout performance apart 1222 00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,560 Speaker 20: from maybe that one against Argentina, ecause you've met Eden 1223 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,720 Speaker 20: Park that you'd want to see from this All Blacks team. 1224 00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,720 Speaker 20: So it is a daunting trip at the best of times, 1225 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 20: and when South Africa is in the kind of form 1226 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 20: that they are, They've added plenty of new things under 1227 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,000 Speaker 20: Russia Rasmus since he's taken back charge of the team 1228 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 20: proper Tony Brown, the former All Black, adding. 1229 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 11: His touch as the attack coach. 1230 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 20: So they're definitely only improved South Africa and have built 1231 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 20: since last year's Will Kappa wouldn't rule the All Blacks out, 1232 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,520 Speaker 20: but I certainly think they're going into this game is 1233 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,440 Speaker 20: underdogs and need to deliver a pretty special performance to 1234 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 20: get the win on Sunday morning. 1235 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,520 Speaker 18: Your time makes it exciting a Nikki, Oh look, I 1236 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 18: think however, you look at this match, it is mouthwatering 1237 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 18: Rassie versus Razor. I mean what more could you ask? 1238 00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 18: It's a World Cup rematch that we haven't seen obviously 1239 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 18: since the World Cup. You know, we only lost by 1240 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 18: one point to them. We've only lost one last three 1241 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 18: out of the four head to head. It's going to 1242 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 18: be really close, So you can't You're not going to 1243 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 18: get a better lineup than this. What I would say is, 1244 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 18: I think the only thing really going in the favor 1245 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 18: of the All Blacks is the long list of injuries 1246 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 18: that perhaps the spring Box have suffered. Yes, they've got 1247 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 18: Xbith back on the bench, but they do have a 1248 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,480 Speaker 18: big casualty ward. I think if the All Blacks can 1249 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 18: nullify the box more, they're going to be in with 1250 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 18: a good chance. You know they've got to beat them 1251 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,000 Speaker 18: up front. Tomsie Williams, Cody Taylor, Torolo Max. They've got 1252 01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,520 Speaker 18: a big job on their hands. But you know I've 1253 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 18: got that alarm set Heather Bet you haven't. No, Oh, 1254 01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 18: hell no, because. 1255 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:35,960 Speaker 2: You've got a toddler. 1256 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 8: I don't have a toddler. 1257 01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 16: I'm free this week. 1258 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 11: I don't even have anybody home. 1259 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 18: I might as well watch it. 1260 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,439 Speaker 3: What happened to your whole family? Where have they gone? 1261 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 18: Oh? One's gone to Hamilton to meet the boyfriend and 1262 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,280 Speaker 18: the other one's gone on a golf trip to do it. 1263 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:49,280 Speaker 6: So how good? 1264 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:50,200 Speaker 1: Cardier? 1265 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 2: Your place? 1266 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,840 Speaker 3: Wait for those days where you just don't have to 1267 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 3: be up to make sure that somebody's alive. Do you 1268 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 3: know what I mean? Listen this business with the Bunker? Ali, 1269 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 3: do you even get the chance to watch the Warriors? 1270 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 5: When you do? 1271 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 3: They even play the Warriors over there? 1272 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 11: No, there's no sign of the NRAL, doesn't doesn't seem 1273 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:06,920 Speaker 11: to exist here. 1274 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 3: What happened to sound. 1275 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,960 Speaker 11: The Bunker is a flawed concept. 1276 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 20: I think, honestly, I've been sort of trying to advocate 1277 01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,600 Speaker 20: for the removal of all TMO and sport. I think 1278 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,440 Speaker 20: that's the way forward. I think we've gone far too 1279 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 20: far in one direction. I think I'd be willing to 1280 01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 20: change it. I don't think the Warriors get a raw 1281 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 20: deal from the referees. I think that in all honestly, 1282 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,280 Speaker 20: the refereeing standard in the NRL is just very, very poor, 1283 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,320 Speaker 20: and so I think that's the problem. It's poor across. 1284 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 20: If you watch some of the other games across the weekend, 1285 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 20: there are some dreadful calls. So I think removing the 1286 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,840 Speaker 20: bunker would be the first step. But I don't think 1287 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,880 Speaker 20: the Warriors get a raw deal from the referees per se. 1288 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,880 Speaker 3: Is this even a bunker problem, Nikki, because surely the 1289 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 3: ref standing right there watching RTS stumble around on his 1290 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,880 Speaker 3: feet is more than capable of seeing something just happened. 1291 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 13: Yeah. 1292 01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 18: Look, I don't normally like to agree with the person 1293 01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 18: I'm talking with, but I have to agree with Elliott 1294 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 18: on this occasion because he's spot on the actual standard 1295 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,200 Speaker 18: of refereeing is not up to it, and unfortunately the 1296 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 18: bunker isn't up to it either. If you're going to 1297 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 18: use technology, it has to be objective and they have 1298 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 18: to get the decision right, and they are failing in this. 1299 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 18: You cannot use subjective opinion within the use of technology, 1300 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 18: So you cannot use mitigating circumstances. For instance, you can't 1301 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 18: sit there and say that Sam Kaine's infringement was worse 1302 01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 18: than Sir Calisis and use mitigating circumstances. It must be 1303 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 18: completely objective, so that. 1304 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 3: And knock to the head, regardless of how it happened, 1305 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 3: is a knock to the head and gets punished. 1306 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:39,320 Speaker 2: Correct. 1307 01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 18: If you're going to use technology, use it what it's 1308 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 18: there for. It shows you the infringent frame by frame. Okay, 1309 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 18: it is not subjective. It shouldn't be subjective, and unfortunately 1310 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 18: I think that subjectivity has come into the bunker and 1311 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,960 Speaker 18: it's not right. Take all that aside, though, the NRL 1312 01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 18: bunker is atrocious. 1313 01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Aliet, this is why we like cricket 1314 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,480 Speaker 3: because you either struck the battle you didn't. You either 1315 01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,000 Speaker 3: struck the pad or you didn't. You got caught or 1316 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,960 Speaker 3: you didn't. There's none others fluffing around nonsense that Nick's 1317 01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:08,479 Speaker 3: talking about. 1318 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 20: No, And I think cricket's the one sport where it 1319 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 20: probably has got it as about as close to ride 1320 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 20: as you will possibly get it. Yeah, and cricket, I 1321 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 20: mean the hawky thing is that you know is not 1322 01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 20: entirely perfect. It's around perceived direction or predicted direction of 1323 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 20: the of the ball and to the pad, et cetera. 1324 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,080 Speaker 20: But I think it's one of the sports where it's 1325 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 20: closest to being correct. Run out not out, but it's 1326 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 20: quick at You know, Rugby and rugby league have gone 1327 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,919 Speaker 20: in the search of perfection from the TMO, and there's 1328 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 20: some sort of misguided belief that technology makes everything perfect 1329 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 20: and you'll get one hundred percent. At the end of 1330 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,440 Speaker 20: the day, it's just another human sitting in a box. 1331 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 20: They're just not at the ground. And so everyone thinks 1332 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 20: this technology system of the bunker or the TMO is 1333 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 20: going to make things one hundred percent perfect. You're striving perfection. 1334 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,600 Speaker 20: You're never going to get it. It's just another layer 1335 01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 20: of human eyes. And I think if you strip it 1336 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 20: back that might be the answer. 1337 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 3: Hey, look after you guys, Thank you both of you 1338 01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 3: and Elliott. Please take care out there and try to 1339 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,959 Speaker 3: get home safely. Elliott Smith News Talks he'd be rugby 1340 01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 3: commentator in Joe bugginneerest commentary the All Black spring Box 1341 01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 3: Test live and free from three am on Sunday morning 1342 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 3: on News Talk, Gold Sport and iHeartRadio, and then Nikki 1343 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 3: Sarus obviously wonderful sports journalists seven away from six upon. 1344 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,000 Speaker 1: Your smart speaker, on the iHeart app and in your 1345 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 1: car on your drive home, Heather duper c Allen drive 1346 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: with one New Zealand one Giant Leap for Business News 1347 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:25,360 Speaker 1: Talk as z BE. 1348 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,520 Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting an actual engineering like technical answer to 1349 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 3: this question, but here we go. Hither you asked, how 1350 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 3: does a crane drop a boat when lifting something? If 1351 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,800 Speaker 3: it doesn't have lifting lugs eyes, then you usually have 1352 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 3: to use slings. Improper positioning all crane lifting can cause 1353 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 3: items to slip out of the slings. Shouldn't happen, but 1354 01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,120 Speaker 3: sometimes it does. She's I mean, that's a lot worse 1355 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 3: than dropping that old Rugby trophy on the concrete floor 1356 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 3: and Hawks Bay, isn't it. Everybody saw this one anyway, 1357 01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 3: great news for people planning on going to prison anytime soon. 1358 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:55,600 Speaker 3: They might be able to have a beard in there. 1359 01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 3: I didn't realize this, but if you go to prison 1360 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 3: and you're on remand awaiting trial. You are not allowed 1361 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 3: to grow a beard at the moment, and not unless 1362 01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,040 Speaker 3: you've got explicit permission from I think like the prison 1363 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:09,600 Speaker 3: manager or something like that, which is weird that they 1364 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,440 Speaker 3: would have an interest in what's going on in your face. 1365 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 3: But anyway, Corrections has now decided it might change the 1366 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 3: rules because they're saying that evidential identification processes nowadays, as 1367 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 3: in like other ways of identifying people DNA and stuff 1368 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,080 Speaker 3: like that, means that you probably don't need your remand 1369 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 3: prisoner to look exactly where they're at trial exactly like 1370 01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,880 Speaker 3: they did when they committed the alleged allegedly committed the crime. 1371 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 3: So they could probably grow themselves a beard and stuff 1372 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 3: like grow the hair out, do whatever they want to, 1373 01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,960 Speaker 3: you know, get that mullet. They've always been wanting to 1374 01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 3: know that they've got all this time on their hands 1375 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,000 Speaker 3: and they reckon. Part of the reason is because you 1376 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 3: remember the why Katy a Riots, part of that was 1377 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,640 Speaker 3: because of rules that didn't make any sense to the prisoners. 1378 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 3: So they maybe will change it. So they have released 1379 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 3: a consultation document looking for feedback and public submissions on 1380 01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:56,560 Speaker 3: that close September thirty, so if you've got very strong 1381 01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 3: feelings about what should be happening with the old face 1382 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 3: business in the jails, go for your life. If you're bored, 1383 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 3: go for your life. More things, more signs that things 1384 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 3: are on the improve. The am Z Roy Morgan Consumer 1385 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,320 Speaker 3: Confidence Index rose this month. Yes, I will take that, 1386 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,600 Speaker 3: thank you very much. So we've had the business confidence 1387 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 3: go up, the consumer confidence go up, the ocr come down, 1388 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,480 Speaker 3: the mortgage traits come down. It's all good. It only 1389 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 3: went up five points to the consumer confidence is still 1390 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 3: well below average levels for the past decade. But it's 1391 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 3: a hell of a lot worse than it was when 1392 01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,959 Speaker 3: it was at its worst point. And people went asked 1393 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 3: if they expected to be better off next year, and 1394 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,600 Speaker 3: net seventeen percent said yes. I think we all would 1395 01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:37,880 Speaker 3: answer yes August next year, are all going to be 1396 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 3: better off. I'll tell you my carjacking story in the 1397 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,280 Speaker 3: next half hour. A next up the boss of TV 1398 01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 3: and Z on where they're going to cut news togs, 1399 01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 3: it beat, that's the beasts. 1400 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 2: What what's down? What we're to make your calls and 1401 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:55,400 Speaker 2: how will it affect the economy? 1402 01:06:56,160 --> 01:07:00,280 Speaker 1: Business questions on the Business Hour, we're the duplicyl and 1403 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,920 Speaker 1: my Hr on News Talk SEB. 1404 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,760 Speaker 3: Even in coming up in the next hour, the Canadians 1405 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 3: are the latest to announce huge tariffs on Chinese ev imports. 1406 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 3: Peter Lewis on that we're going to wrap the political 1407 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,000 Speaker 3: that the week that was with Barry Soaper and Gavin 1408 01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 3: Gray will be with us out of the UK. It's 1409 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 3: coming up eight past six. Tv and Z has had 1410 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,680 Speaker 3: the tough financial year that we expected that they would. 1411 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 3: They have plunged to a net loss of eighty five 1412 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 3: million dollars for the year to June. The state broadcaster 1413 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 3: is bleeding cash, declining revenues and high costs to to blame, 1414 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 3: and even after acting Sunday and fair Go earlier in 1415 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,360 Speaker 3: the year, it's still having to find more savings to 1416 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,720 Speaker 3: the tune of thirty million dollars and fast. Jody O'Connell 1417 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 3: O'Donnell Ruther is TVNZ's chief chief executive. Hey, Jody, this 1418 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 3: is massive, isn't it. 1419 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 21: It is a big glass. 1420 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 3: Yes, it would be even if it was just a 1421 01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,240 Speaker 3: one off it would be a big loss. But you 1422 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,240 Speaker 3: have to find another thirty millionaires, we've said, and you 1423 01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 3: need to do it fast. How fast? 1424 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 21: Well, whilst it's a big gloss Heather. We're indicated two 1425 01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 21: months ago that it would be significant, And just before 1426 01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:02,960 Speaker 21: I answered that first question, just kind of to break 1427 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 21: down the loss. Whilst's an eighty five million dollar loss overall, 1428 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 21: that's an EBIT loss of twenty eight point five million 1429 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 21: dollars and a sixty two million non cash and payment. 1430 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 21: So what that means in terms of cash in the 1431 01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 21: bank is that we've depleted our cash reserves by seven 1432 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:17,639 Speaker 21: point four million dollars. 1433 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, which means you've got a fair amount still in there. 1434 01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:20,559 Speaker 2: Right. 1435 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,519 Speaker 3: How fast do you need to find the thirty. 1436 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,679 Speaker 21: Mil Well, what we signaled is we need to find 1437 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,759 Speaker 21: it in the next twelve months. So if we did nothing, 1438 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:29,800 Speaker 21: I'd be sitting here in twelve months time and having 1439 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,960 Speaker 21: a similar conversation around what an end of year result 1440 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,040 Speaker 21: would be. So that's why I've been really transparent and 1441 01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,280 Speaker 21: publicly said with our people that we need to find 1442 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,040 Speaker 21: a thirty million dollars earnings gap, which is either an 1443 01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,759 Speaker 21: increase of revenue of thirty million dollars or a savings 1444 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 21: of cost for thirty million dollars, or a combination of 1445 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:46,719 Speaker 21: those things. 1446 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,320 Speaker 3: What's going on is the advertising revenue just falling again. 1447 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,280 Speaker 21: The market has been really hot, and particularly in the 1448 01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,840 Speaker 21: television market, so we've seen significant declines in our linear 1449 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 21: TV revenue, but the green shoots are in our digital 1450 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,839 Speaker 21: platform TVs Plus, so we've had an eight percent revenue 1451 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,880 Speaker 21: growth in that space, and we know that that's actually 1452 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 21: really strong in this market. 1453 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 3: Okay, how are you going to find this money? Because 1454 01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I see that you cutting the programs, which 1455 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,679 Speaker 3: you've done only saved you ten million, So that looks 1456 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:13,840 Speaker 3: to me like you're going to have to do another 1457 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 3: round of this. 1458 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 21: The ten million dollar costs that we saved over the 1459 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,320 Speaker 21: last twelve months with a combination of things. So yes, 1460 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,680 Speaker 21: there was the people changes and the program changes, but 1461 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,760 Speaker 21: there was also other things that we'd made earlier in 1462 01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,120 Speaker 21: the year. So what we're doing is we're at the 1463 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 21: idea stage. We're asking for all of our staff to 1464 01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:33,479 Speaker 21: present ideas to us that either increase our revenue or 1465 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 21: decrease our costs. 1466 01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,080 Speaker 3: Can you rule out cutting programs. 1467 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 21: I can't rule anything out. 1468 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:38,920 Speaker 3: Can you rule out cutting staff? 1469 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 21: I can't rule any of that out. 1470 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 3: Everything is on the table. 1471 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:42,800 Speaker 21: There are no decisions that have been made. We are 1472 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 21: only at the idea stage. 1473 01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:45,639 Speaker 3: I mean, do you even have that many more programs 1474 01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 3: to cut that are locally made and that are that expensive. 1475 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 21: We spend over half of our content budget on local 1476 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 21: content across news and current affairs and also local shows. 1477 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,280 Speaker 3: And how much more expensive it is it than just 1478 01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:57,880 Speaker 3: buying something from overseas. 1479 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,320 Speaker 21: Well, there's no exact science in terms of how much 1480 01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 21: more expensive local content is, but it can be anywhere 1481 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 21: between five and ten times more expensive than a piece 1482 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 21: of international contents. 1483 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 3: Okay, so this is where you make your savings as 1484 01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 3: you cut the local stuff. All right, are you seeing 1485 01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:17,479 Speaker 3: any indication that the advertising market is starting to pick 1486 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,840 Speaker 3: up or is it just that it's still falling. It's 1487 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:20,840 Speaker 3: just not falling as fast. 1488 01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 21: It's still falling, but it's just not falling, Jody. 1489 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:24,680 Speaker 3: How long is it going to fall for? 1490 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 21: I think at least to the next of the end 1491 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,479 Speaker 21: of this calendar year. Yeah, but within that I will 1492 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 21: say again, our digital revenue is growing and we've only 1493 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:35,439 Speaker 21: just started our new financial year. But it's double digit gross. 1494 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 3: I mean, this is pittons compared to what you make 1495 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 3: off the big TV advertising, right, So what's going on? 1496 01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1497 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,360 Speaker 21: It is, but it does support our strategy in the 1498 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 21: sense that actually this is the right strategy in terms 1499 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 21: of Digital Plus. We can see that there is a 1500 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,840 Speaker 21: path to profitability, and so that's now we need to 1501 01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:53,479 Speaker 21: really double down this year and transform the organization as 1502 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,240 Speaker 21: quickly as we can and shift all of those costs 1503 01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 21: out of our broadcast part of the business and shift 1504 01:10:58,920 --> 01:10:59,920 Speaker 21: them into our digital plasus. 1505 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 3: Are you sure that what you're seeing in the fall 1506 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 3: off and advertising on tally is not forever? 1507 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 1: Like? 1508 01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 3: Are you sure it's going to plateau and recover ever again? 1509 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 21: Well, there's two things that give me hope. Those two 1510 01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,600 Speaker 21: things are that where the Audience's report came out this 1511 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 21: week and actually pointed really clearly that New Zealanders love 1512 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,519 Speaker 21: watching TV. In fact, sixty percent of all New Zealanders 1513 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 21: are still watching TV every single day. The second thing 1514 01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 21: was just last night we had Day one of the 1515 01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 21: Paralympics and over a million people tuned into TVNZ one 1516 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 21: to watch that. Yeah, so that makes it clear that 1517 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 21: actually we absolutely do have the content and as long 1518 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:34,280 Speaker 21: as the strategy is implemented, well, then I do see 1519 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:34,880 Speaker 21: your way through this. 1520 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,479 Speaker 3: Okay, So if you put a paywall on TVNZ plus, 1521 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,840 Speaker 3: which just clearly what you're planning to do. How much 1522 01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 3: would people pay for what you're selling. 1523 01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,640 Speaker 21: That's one of the options that we're looking at, and I. 1524 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,160 Speaker 3: Think would be the same as Netflix. 1525 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,479 Speaker 21: I think we'd need to test and learn. To be honest, 1526 01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:52,360 Speaker 21: I'm not sure there's a enough scale in this market 1527 01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,040 Speaker 21: to be there for there to be multiple subscription services. 1528 01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 21: But I do think there might be opportunities on a 1529 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,920 Speaker 21: pay per view option or for specific con So there's 1530 01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,600 Speaker 21: a raft of options that we could look at in 1531 01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,799 Speaker 21: that space. But clearly we have to divest far revenue. 1532 01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:06,560 Speaker 3: Right, So you might sell me a rugby game for 1533 01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,200 Speaker 3: twenty bucks, let's just say, rather than me subscribing to 1534 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:10,800 Speaker 3: your sports content across the year. 1535 01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:11,879 Speaker 21: That's one of the options. 1536 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,679 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, And are you sure about the sports play, Jody, 1537 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,440 Speaker 3: It's freaking me out. Sport is expensive. 1538 01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 21: Sport is expensive, and clearly we will only be able 1539 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 21: to operate in the sports space if it's commercially viable. 1540 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 21: So we know Key's love it, we know it's what 1541 01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 21: brings them into platforms, so we absolutely want to get 1542 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 21: amongst it. But from that perspective, we have to make 1543 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:31,200 Speaker 21: commercial decisions around you. 1544 01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 3: Do you know what I watched Colin from Accounts on TVMZ. 1545 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,840 Speaker 3: Isn't that awesome? Fantastic? Why did I not know you've 1546 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:40,519 Speaker 3: got this good content? Well, you have so much good content. 1547 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 3: You've got the Priscilla movie. Where's the advertising? Where's the marketing? 1548 01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 21: One point four million Kries are watching tv Z plus 1549 01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 21: every week? 1550 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:46,559 Speaker 12: Here? 1551 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:47,200 Speaker 21: Where have you been? 1552 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 3: I don't know on the others? Do you know, like 1553 01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 3: if I feel like this is your problem? Actually you 1554 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,800 Speaker 3: have better content than people realize. And I would pay 1555 01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:57,320 Speaker 3: for it if you charged me. 1556 01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 21: Okay, excellent, Well we've started to started here to. 1557 01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,840 Speaker 3: Great Jody, thank you always. I really appreciate it. Time 1558 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 3: always for coming in. There's Jody o'donald Tvanz's chief executive. Hey, 1559 01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,479 Speaker 3: I'm on Fletcher quickly. Whoh man, the bad news does 1560 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,360 Speaker 3: not stop for Fletcher Building. Now they've just been picked 1561 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight million dollars for that leaky 1562 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 3: pipe issue in Perth. Remember how they were like, that's 1563 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 3: not a big deal, Nana, only sixteen million bucks. Maybe 1564 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:26,679 Speaker 3: that's like the top end times by ten. Basically, what's 1565 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,479 Speaker 3: happening is they're going Cheresi's with the Western Australian government 1566 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 3: to fix this stuff. It's been bursting up in the 1567 01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 3: ceiling in people's houses. When we in New Zealand have 1568 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 3: the pipes downstairs underneath the floor so and cause as 1569 01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 3: much damage. But in Australia up in the ceiling and 1570 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:42,759 Speaker 3: the water goes everywhere. So Fletcher's paying eighty percent. Western 1571 01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,160 Speaker 3: Australia is paying twenty percent to fix the pipes. Got 1572 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 3: to repair all the damage that's happened to the house 1573 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:49,879 Speaker 3: as result of the pipes bursting. And in some cases 1574 01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:53,280 Speaker 3: while they're doing a full repipe like our full repipe 1575 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,000 Speaker 3: for the houses, they have to also pay for the 1576 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:59,120 Speaker 3: temporary accommodation for the homeowners. Sounds also like there may 1577 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,680 Speaker 3: be another financial problem, which is class action which is 1578 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 3: being taken over it. So yeah, not a fun time 1579 01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:07,799 Speaker 3: to be working there. Fourteen past six. 1580 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:12,040 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's headed duplicuicy 1581 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,479 Speaker 1: ellen with the business hours. Thanks to my HR, the 1582 01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 1: HR platform for SME on newstalksb is. 1583 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:21,720 Speaker 3: It possible the team whose success story has maybe had 1584 01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,760 Speaker 3: a bit of a speed bump. Peter Lewis is going 1585 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 3: to talk us through that when he's with us after 1586 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,320 Speaker 3: half past six. We'll wrap the political week that was 1587 01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 3: now with our senior political correspondent, Barry Soaper. Welcome back, Barry, 1588 01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 3: Hello again here then Okay, Look, hindsight is a beautiful thing. 1589 01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,400 Speaker 3: But in hindsight, so the Greens ever have gone here 1590 01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 3: with Darlene because this is costing them a lot. 1591 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 14: Well, I don't think they certainly could have foreseen what 1592 01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,360 Speaker 14: was going to happen. Yeah, and they you know, the 1593 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:51,880 Speaker 14: Greens at nothing else, they represent the underprivileged. And the 1594 01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:57,000 Speaker 14: allegation here was that and somehow the bike shop that 1595 01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 14: her husband owned was floiting migrants. Now that is totally 1596 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:07,680 Speaker 14: against the Green's code of ethics. So I guess they 1597 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:09,800 Speaker 14: had to look into it. When they looked into it, 1598 01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,479 Speaker 14: we haven't. I haven't seen the full report. I haven't 1599 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 14: read the full report. 1600 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,240 Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think it's I think it's 1601 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,280 Speaker 3: the kind of outcome that they could have gone either 1602 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:19,680 Speaker 3: way on, right, because it doesn't prove that she was 1603 01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:21,800 Speaker 3: involved in it. It just proved that there's a chance 1604 01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 3: that she knew. But Barry, if they had a chance 1605 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,120 Speaker 3: to do this again, do you reckon they would try 1606 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,840 Speaker 3: to kick her out Given the trouble she's causing them. 1607 01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,120 Speaker 14: Well, I think because this was made public, it was 1608 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 14: in the public arena, they actually had to do something 1609 01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,280 Speaker 14: and to sit on their hands is they have done 1610 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:45,240 Speaker 14: in previous cases and not disciplined members of Parliament. And 1611 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 14: the one that springs to mind is the Garriman case. 1612 01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,559 Speaker 14: I mean, they knew about that well in advance. 1613 01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 3: They It's almost like they were forced to do something 1614 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,599 Speaker 3: to Darlene given that they had they had dicked around 1615 01:15:57,640 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 3: with so many of their other entries in in the past. Yeah, 1616 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:02,840 Speaker 3: I just wonder if they regret it now, because boy, 1617 01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:03,720 Speaker 3: it's causing them a lot long. 1618 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,439 Speaker 14: I'm sure they'll regret it, and they'll regret it for 1619 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 14: some time to come, because it's not over yet. There's 1620 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,960 Speaker 14: still a lot of water to go under that particular breakin. 1621 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,160 Speaker 3: I don't see any problem with getting everybody to pay 1622 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:15,800 Speaker 3: the rucks and scrap the fuel tax. 1623 01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,840 Speaker 14: Well, that's right, and plan't pay tolls on roads, of course, 1624 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,920 Speaker 14: But when you think of the road user charges, it's 1625 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:27,439 Speaker 14: a more equitable system because at the moment you've got 1626 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 14: high powered, energy efficient cars on the road and you've 1627 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 14: got the old bangers that use more fuel. So people 1628 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 14: that have got the old bangers, and they're normally the 1629 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:42,760 Speaker 14: Philly underprivileged. They are paying too much, paying too much 1630 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:46,599 Speaker 14: for the petrol. Yeah, and so it is an inequitable system. 1631 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,840 Speaker 14: But look, road tolling is inevitable. If they want to 1632 01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,560 Speaker 14: get the infrastructure built that they say they're going to 1633 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 14: get built, then they need public private partnerships and that's 1634 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,240 Speaker 14: the only way to go. So that means road tolls 1635 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 14: as soon as twenty twenty seven, that's only a few 1636 01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:04,200 Speaker 14: years from now. 1637 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:05,800 Speaker 13: They say that. 1638 01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:10,080 Speaker 14: Fuel tax should be gone, Well, you know that's twelve 1639 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,479 Speaker 14: cents or seventy five cents a later. At the moment 1640 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,720 Speaker 14: in twenty twenty seven, it'll be another twelve cents. So 1641 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,840 Speaker 14: you know it keeps going up, and so will road 1642 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 14: user chargers. So the motorists is going to be no 1643 01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 14: better off. The only way I guess to be better 1644 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 14: off is take to the two wheelers by bicycle. 1645 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, bicycle, Barry. Do you think just on this Mardi 1646 01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:34,360 Speaker 3: sovereignty issue and whether the EWE who signed EWE leaders 1647 01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:37,799 Speaker 3: who signed the treaty in eighteen forty actually seeded sovereignty. 1648 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:41,880 Speaker 3: Can you remember a time in your career where you've 1649 01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,880 Speaker 3: had the leaders of the two major parties have completely 1650 01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:49,559 Speaker 3: opposite views and firm views. Chippy says they didn't seed sovereignty. 1651 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,080 Speaker 3: Hipkins Luxon says they did seed sovereignty. Can you remember 1652 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:53,719 Speaker 3: this happening before. 1653 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:59,040 Speaker 14: Well, no, it's a very difficult situation for I think 1654 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:04,720 Speaker 14: more so for labor because it's the Whitanui Tribunal that 1655 01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 14: came out with its report that said that the treaty 1656 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:14,439 Speaker 14: essentially retained the complete authority over their land and the 1657 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:19,040 Speaker 14: people and the territories. But that is in dispute because 1658 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 14: if you look at the meaning of national sovereignty, that's 1659 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:27,240 Speaker 14: the ability of a governor to govern. Now, Mary didn't 1660 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,880 Speaker 14: in eighteen forty, from my knowledge, say that they wanted 1661 01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 14: to have a separate government from the crown, and so 1662 01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 14: you know, I think Chris Luxon, even though he was 1663 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,960 Speaker 14: forced into saying it in Parliament a couple of weeks ago, 1664 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 14: said that they did see sovereignty. And it's one of 1665 01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:48,000 Speaker 14: those arguments that will go on forever. No doubt they 1666 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:49,559 Speaker 14: will say that's the Paquia view. 1667 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 3: Anybody's going to be convinced to change their view on this. No, 1668 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,880 Speaker 3: it's one of those ones, right, that's exactly. 1669 01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,280 Speaker 14: But I think it should be settled for once and 1670 01:18:59,400 --> 01:18:59,680 Speaker 14: for all. 1671 01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,600 Speaker 11: And dear, I say, sorry, we've just. 1672 01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 3: Lost you there, Barry. But anyway, hopefully we'll get you. 1673 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,519 Speaker 3: We'll try to get Barry back. That's Barry's sober senior 1674 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,519 Speaker 3: political correspondent, rapping the political week that was hither.

Maybe they were on their way 1683 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,519 Speaker 3: to Totaling a city council for a meeting. That's from Mike. 1684 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,240 Speaker 3: I don't would you call the cops for a gang 1685 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,360 Speaker 3: member having a week to be fair, Mark, I mean, 1686 01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,599 Speaker 3: that's just bad behave, that's just bad manners old way 1687 01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,600 Speaker 3: over there wasn't It wasn't raised very well. But no, 1688 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,160 Speaker 3: you don't want to be wasting the cops time on 1689 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,519 Speaker 3: a Wii. He wasn't doing anything.

Okay, this is why I'm so 1700 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 3: worried about Elliott. And I'm serious. I hope that we've 1701 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,320 Speaker 3: taken out some life insurance on him. Actually while he's 1702 01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,439 Speaker 3: in joe Burg. When I went to joe Burg the 1703 01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:22,479 Speaker 3: very last time, I hate joe Burger. I really I 1704 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 3: don't know why people live in a place like joe Burg. 1705 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,840 Speaker 3: There's no ocean, there's no mountains. Why do you look 1706 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 3: like there was once upon a time there was some 1707 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:33,680 Speaker 3: guld and so everybody's basically stuck there. Anyway, When I 1708 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,080 Speaker 3: went to Joeburg years ago for the very last time, 1709 01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,559 Speaker 3: and we'll not be going back there, I was traveling 1710 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:40,439 Speaker 3: with a husband and a friend. Now, I've been to 1711 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,759 Speaker 3: Essay lots of times, obviously because that's where my family 1712 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,920 Speaker 3: comes from on my mom's side, So you got to 1713 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 3: go back and do the pilgrimage and stuff. Anyway, the 1714 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 3: friend came with us, and my husband said to her, 1715 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 3: do you want to see the most dangerous part of 1716 01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:57,040 Speaker 3: joe Burg? And she was like yes, meaning no, but 1717 01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 3: he heard yes. So we drove through a place called 1718 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:02,880 Speaker 3: hell And the trouble is we timed it really badly. 1719 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 3: And also he's a key. We driving a car, right, 1720 01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:07,120 Speaker 3: so you don't drive like you've got to be. You've 1721 01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 3: got to drive like a Safa. And I will explain 1722 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 3: the cin a minute. Anyway, so we're driving through and 1723 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 3: we got stuck in a traffic jam in Hellbrow in 1724 01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 3: rush hour traffic, and this guy in a lorry spots 1725 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 3: that I have a cell phone in my hand, and 1726 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:20,960 Speaker 3: so I'm trying to hide it in the car. But 1727 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,559 Speaker 3: what I don't realize is my husband sees the guy's 1728 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:25,880 Speaker 3: jumped out of the car, out of the lorry and 1729 01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,280 Speaker 3: he's disappeared into the crowd. And next minute, right I'm 1730 01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 3: all I hear is my husband's window going down and 1731 01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,600 Speaker 3: I looked over. I was like, what the hell are 1732 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 3: you doing? Which is the wrong thing to do, just 1733 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 3: to an idiot winding down his window in Hillbrow because 1734 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:42,840 Speaker 3: he looked at me, which meant that the guy who 1735 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 3: had indicated there's something wrong with your tire, which made 1736 01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:46,960 Speaker 3: him wind down the window. That guy then put his 1737 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,760 Speaker 3: hand in and started winding down the window further. That 1738 01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,559 Speaker 3: guy then launched himself across my husband's lap and went 1739 01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:55,479 Speaker 3: for my cell phone. And stupidly, what I should have 1740 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 3: done was just give him the cell phone, but I 1741 01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 3: was like, no, I want my cell phone, and I 1742 01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,080 Speaker 3: sort of fled like a little girl. And fortunately my 1743 01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 3: husband redeemed himself by punching the guy's square in the 1744 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,320 Speaker 3: nose and he fell out and we managed to get away. 1745 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 3: But then they chased us in the car. And this 1746 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:12,519 Speaker 3: is where you have to drive like a South African 1747 01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,840 Speaker 3: when you're in South Africa, not like a Kiwi.

I can tell 1777 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:44,760 Speaker 3: you very quickly Oasis has the tide has turned very 1778 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 3: quickly on Oasis because people are not happy about what 1779 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:51,360 Speaker 3: they're charging for the tickets. So the cheapest tickets to 1780 01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:54,000 Speaker 3: go and see Oasis is one hundred and fifty three 1781 01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:55,680 Speaker 3: New Zealand dollars. Now, that's not going to be a 1782 01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,040 Speaker 3: good ticket. That's going to be a really bad ticket. 1783 01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 3: The most expensiveickets are one thousand and sixty four dollars. 1784 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:07,040 Speaker 3: They include merchandise, they include access to a pre show party. 1785 01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,559 Speaker 3: That doesn't mean os it's going to be at the party. 1786 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,600 Speaker 3: You're just going to a party. You can't organize your 1787 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,200 Speaker 3: own party go to that one. Standard ticketing right, so 1788 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:18,559 Speaker 3: standard standing tickets cost about three hundred and fifteen New 1789 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,920 Speaker 3: Zealand dollars. It's being described as extortionate. It's being described 1790 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,840 Speaker 3: as setting up Nolan Liam's good pension fund. And by comparison, 1791 01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:29,080 Speaker 3: the tickets to see Taylor Swift Peak absolutely had a 1792 01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:30,960 Speaker 3: cap of four hundred and seven New Zealand dollars. You 1793 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 3: could see this is on the high side, but then 1794 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,080 Speaker 3: again it's a one off, right, You're not going to 1795 01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 3: see it like OAS is not going to reform every 1796 01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 3: single day twenty three away from seven. 1797 01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:39,640 Speaker 2: Heather D. 1798 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,600 Speaker 3: Lewis is our Asia business corresponding with US out of 1799 01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,400 Speaker 3: Hong Kong. Hey, Peter, Good evening. Now, what do we 1800 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,719 Speaker 3: make of Jake Sullivan meeting with Chijinping. Is this a surprise? 1801 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,559 Speaker 19: I think it was on the cards, although it wasn't 1802 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,080 Speaker 19: confirmed right until the very end of his trip. Is 1803 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:03,040 Speaker 19: partly a sort of term meeting because when China's Farm 1804 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,640 Speaker 19: Secretary Wang Yi was in the US in Washington, he 1805 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,879 Speaker 19: met with President Biden. So I think this is President 1806 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 19: She's paying back the compliments here meeting with Jake Sullivan. 1807 01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:18,440 Speaker 19: They didn't say anything really that was new or substantial. 1808 01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:22,840 Speaker 19: President she said that they want the US and China 1809 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,280 Speaker 19: to be what he said was a stable source of 1810 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 19: world peace, and he said he was committed to having 1811 01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 19: a US China relationship that was stable and unchanged. All 1812 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 19: the things he's been. 1813 01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:36,719 Speaker 2: Saying all along. 1814 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:39,760 Speaker 19: Jake Sullivan was saying that it's very important to the 1815 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 19: US to keep lines of communication with China open so 1816 01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:48,960 Speaker 19: that their conflicts doesn't are the disagreements don't veer into 1817 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,880 Speaker 19: open conflicts and to that end, he had a very 1818 01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,559 Speaker 19: rare meeting with a top Chinese army in general, it's 1819 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:59,120 Speaker 19: the first time that there's been any meetings with the 1820 01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,559 Speaker 19: Beijing military for about six years, so that was sort 1821 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 19: of significance. But I think at the end of the day, 1822 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:08,600 Speaker 19: the big question is is anything going to change in 1823 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:12,360 Speaker 19: terms of the relationship between the US and China and 1824 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:15,000 Speaker 19: the US's approach to China, And I think you have 1825 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:18,400 Speaker 19: to watch what the US does rather than what it says. 1826 01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,679 Speaker 19: It sensily wants to have a healthy relationship with the US, 1827 01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 19: but in many ways, it's waging economic war on China 1828 01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:28,800 Speaker 19: on many, many different fronts. It's really trying to hold 1829 01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:32,720 Speaker 19: back China's development, particularly in the high tech area. It's 1830 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,799 Speaker 19: putting tariffs on a whole loads of goods and products, 1831 01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,799 Speaker 19: it's putting sanctions on others. Nearly every single major Chinese 1832 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:43,240 Speaker 19: tech company has got some sort of sanction on it 1833 01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 19: at the moment, which means that both the US and 1834 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:51,360 Speaker 19: its allies can't sell American products that China needs to 1835 01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:54,640 Speaker 19: develop this tech industry, and there's no sign of that 1836 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:56,200 Speaker 19: changing at all. 1837 01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 3: Both sides have agreed to hold these video calls between 1838 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,640 Speaker 3: the military theater commanders, right, is this a first or 1839 01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,720 Speaker 3: is this a continuation of something they're already doing. 1840 01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:07,800 Speaker 19: It used to be done, but it hasn't been done 1841 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:11,240 Speaker 19: for quite a few years now, and since sur shooting, 1842 01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 19: Ping sort of took over. So again, it's one of 1843 01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 19: those things where is the US that is very very 1844 01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:22,320 Speaker 19: keen on keeping these lines of communication open. The Chinese 1845 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,200 Speaker 19: leadership is less sure about this. They sort of say, well, 1846 01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:28,360 Speaker 19: what's the point of keeping these lines of communication open 1847 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:30,880 Speaker 19: when all you do is after we've spoken, you then 1848 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,400 Speaker 19: go and do something else to try and damage us. 1849 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:38,439 Speaker 19: So they think that these discussions should have a purpose, 1850 01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,680 Speaker 19: and the purpose should be to try and improve relations 1851 01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 19: and remove some of these areas of disagreement. But the 1852 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:49,200 Speaker 19: US doesn't show much sign of doing that. I think 1853 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 19: part of the problem is that there are some really clear, 1854 01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:58,040 Speaker 19: almost intractable differences between the US and China and areas 1855 01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:02,559 Speaker 19: such as the South China Sea, where China claims almost 1856 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:04,960 Speaker 19: ninety percent of the South China scene right up and 1857 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 19: sort of borders of several countries in the areas, including 1858 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:14,120 Speaker 19: the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, So that's an issue. Taiwan is 1859 01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 19: another issue that is really a big intractable problem, and 1860 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 19: several of these have the potential to dangerously veer off 1861 01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,439 Speaker 19: into some sort of conflict, I would say, particularly the 1862 01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,720 Speaker 19: stat that's going on at the moment between China and 1863 01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,840 Speaker 19: the Philippines, where fishing vessels are getting rammed almost on 1864 01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 19: a daily basis, there is potential for these things to 1865 01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:35,080 Speaker 19: go horribly wrong. 1866 01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:38,679 Speaker 3: Peter, what's going wrong for Timu's parent company? 1867 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 19: Well, yes, this is interesting. PDD Holdings basically sort of 1868 01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:48,000 Speaker 19: missed its earnings expectations, gave out a profit warning, said 1869 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:51,439 Speaker 19: it was suffering from severe competition in China that was 1870 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:56,679 Speaker 19: going to affect its earnings going forward. PDD Holding shares 1871 01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:01,680 Speaker 19: collapsed almost by a third York at the beginning of 1872 01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,360 Speaker 19: the week. It is a big shock because even though 1873 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:08,200 Speaker 19: we know that the consumer is pulling in the horns, 1874 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 19: the one area where the consumer still seem to be 1875 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,639 Speaker 19: spending quite robustly was in these discount stores and looking 1876 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:19,479 Speaker 19: for cost conscious sort of products, which is right up 1877 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:23,040 Speaker 19: the streets of PDD. It has been Dodo in mainland China. 1878 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:28,360 Speaker 19: It has Temu internationally, which cater for are cost conscious 1879 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,360 Speaker 19: sort of Chinese shopper. So if these types of firms 1880 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,120 Speaker 19: are almost us struggling, it sort of bends the question 1881 01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:38,280 Speaker 19: world just how bad is the situation amongst the consumer 1882 01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 19: each China we suspects a lot worse than we're being told. 1883 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 19: And also if a firm like PDD can't compete, then 1884 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:48,920 Speaker 19: who exactually can compete in China. 1885 01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:52,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a little worrying actually to hear. Peter listen, 1886 01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:54,120 Speaker 3: thank you very much as always for talking us through 1887 01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:55,640 Speaker 3: the stuff.

Ben, How's this 1899 01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:29,680 Speaker 3: going to work? 1900 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:31,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1901 01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,560 Speaker 7: I think it's a very complicated thing to try and 1902 01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:37,200 Speaker 7: bring in and I think they're really still thrashing around 1903 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,280 Speaker 7: trying to work out how to do it. But this 1904 01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:42,479 Speaker 7: is all because of that stabbing in which that was 1905 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 7: in West Germany, and it really did lead many people 1906 01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:49,519 Speaker 7: in Germany. It's a Syrian refugee is the main suspect. 1907 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:54,879 Speaker 7: It led many to question their asylum policy, their refugee policy, 1908 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:59,640 Speaker 7: and it comes shortly before two states go into elections 1909 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:03,040 Speaker 7: at the weekend, their Eastern states, and it is said 1910 01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:06,360 Speaker 7: that the far right alternative for Germany is riding high 1911 01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:11,639 Speaker 7: in the palls. Indeed, after that stabbing in Solingen where 1912 01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:15,280 Speaker 7: three were left dead, one of the parties suggested that 1913 01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:18,800 Speaker 7: they should stop taking refugees from Afghanistan and Syria, but 1914 01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:22,960 Speaker 7: the AfD said, actually, we should stop taking refugees for stop. 1915 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 7: That isn't the official policy of the party, but that 1916 01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:28,880 Speaker 7: was one of their leaders, and that of course would 1917 01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:30,920 Speaker 7: fly in the face of everything that the EU is 1918 01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:34,880 Speaker 7: currently standing for. So how this plan is going to 1919 01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,439 Speaker 7: work is going to be very very difficult. Knives are 1920 01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:40,880 Speaker 7: banned at most public events, including markets and sport, as 1921 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:43,479 Speaker 7: well as public transport, and now there's going to be 1922 01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,880 Speaker 7: a blanket ban on flick knives, and foreigners will be 1923 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,360 Speaker 7: ordered to leave. That foreigners who are ordered to leave 1924 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,320 Speaker 7: the country will have to be deported more quickly and 1925 01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,679 Speaker 7: more efficiently. And anyone facing a jail term for knife 1926 01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 7: crime would face fast deportation if they were an asylum 1927 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,720 Speaker 7: seeker with it in Germany. So they are trying to 1928 01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:05,480 Speaker 7: do something about it. But whether this measure, these suggestions 1929 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,599 Speaker 7: will sway the voters in the East Germany is another matter. 1930 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:10,439 Speaker 3: How I mean, just on a practical level, how do 1931 01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,400 Speaker 3: you figure out if somebody's got a knife? I mean, 1932 01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:14,840 Speaker 3: the problem with it is that they're so easy to conceal. 1933 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,599 Speaker 3: So would you be doing something like at certain events, 1934 01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:20,760 Speaker 3: I don't know, metal detection or something like that. 1935 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:24,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, And they do have them in concerts here and 1936 01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:27,720 Speaker 7: across the EU, these sort of airport style scanners, but 1937 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:30,080 Speaker 7: also in streets of course here in the UK and 1938 01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:33,559 Speaker 7: other countries you have stop and search powers. The problem 1939 01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:36,479 Speaker 7: with those as well has been that many people have 1940 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:40,280 Speaker 7: certain ethnic minorities feel they are being discriminated against. And 1941 01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:43,360 Speaker 7: indeed the figures of how who is stop and search 1942 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:47,080 Speaker 7: showed that they are disproportionately stopped. But the police are 1943 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,479 Speaker 7: saying where they stop because we think they've got a 1944 01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:51,840 Speaker 7: knife or we think they might have a knife. So 1945 01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 7: you know, it's a very very difficult argument to do. 1946 01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:58,320 Speaker 7: But stop and search has been actually a very successful 1947 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:02,680 Speaker 7: thing here in the UK. Police have managed to take 1948 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,480 Speaker 7: into custody a lot of knives and individuals. 1949 01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:07,600 Speaker 3: Interesting. Okay, so what's the letters By the way with 1950 01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:10,960 Speaker 3: the telegram boss, he's getting. 1951 01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 7: Told you have got to stay in France. So this 1952 01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,400 Speaker 7: is Pavel d'uov. He's now been placed under a formal 1953 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:20,040 Speaker 7: investigation in France as part of a probe into organized 1954 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:23,200 Speaker 7: crime on the messaging app. The thirty nine year old 1955 01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:26,639 Speaker 7: has not been remanded in custody, but placed under what's 1956 01:33:26,680 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 7: called judicial supervision. He's also had to pay a ten 1957 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,920 Speaker 7: million New Zealand dollar deposit. He's Russian born, of course, 1958 01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,600 Speaker 7: a billionaire, but he is also a French national and 1959 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:38,679 Speaker 7: now he has to show up at a French police 1960 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,280 Speaker 7: station twice a week and has been banned from leaving 1961 01:33:41,320 --> 01:33:44,479 Speaker 7: the country. And this is all under alleged offenses that 1962 01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 7: include complicity in the administration of an online platform to 1963 01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:54,440 Speaker 7: enable illicit transactions by organized gangs. The refusal to communicate 1964 01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,600 Speaker 7: with the authorities and complicity in organized criminal distribution of 1965 01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:02,040 Speaker 7: sexual images of children. It appears France believes that they 1966 01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:03,479 Speaker 7: do have a case against him. 1967 01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:05,479 Speaker 3: Kevin, she's marrying the shaman. 1968 01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,360 Speaker 11: I wondered if you'd be I know. 1969 01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:12,719 Speaker 2: So this is Princess Martin Louis. 1970 01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:16,160 Speaker 7: She is the eldest daughter of the current King and 1971 01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:21,280 Speaker 7: Queen of Norway, and now she's marrying what might be 1972 01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:24,960 Speaker 7: described as a very very controversial figure, a self styled 1973 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:30,600 Speaker 7: shaman called Durich Derek Verret. The celebrations have begun in 1974 01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:33,280 Speaker 7: the town of Allison, Western Norway for a meet and 1975 01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:35,920 Speaker 7: greet in a historic hotel. To put a bit of 1976 01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 7: context to her. Martin Luise fifty two years old, Derek 1977 01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:42,680 Speaker 7: Verett forty nine year old. She's a former equestrian, but 1978 01:34:42,840 --> 01:34:47,240 Speaker 7: she's also long attracted controversy for her involvement in alternative treatments. 1979 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 7: She lost her titled the Royal Highness so she could 1980 01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:54,800 Speaker 7: start her own business. She then said that she had 1981 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:58,200 Speaker 7: taught students to create miracles and talk to angels, and 1982 01:34:58,320 --> 01:35:01,479 Speaker 7: in an interview last year with the BBC, she said 1983 01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:04,599 Speaker 7: there've been so much turmoil concerning her decision to take 1984 01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:08,160 Speaker 7: a different path that of a traditional role, that she's 1985 01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,240 Speaker 7: decided to drop that title. But she says, I'm very 1986 01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:14,360 Speaker 7: spiritual and in Norway that is taboo. It'll be a 1987 01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:15,600 Speaker 7: very interesting. 1988 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:19,040 Speaker 3: Wedding, interesting times. Gavin, thank you very much.

This bird, called 2002 01:35:55,880 --> 01:36:00,320 Speaker 3: the northern bald iris our Ibis ibis has been distinct 2003 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,600 Speaker 3: in Europe in Central Europe for three hundred years and 2004 01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:06,680 Speaker 3: the scientists have brought it back from extinction. But the 2005 01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:08,760 Speaker 3: problem is if you've been extinct for three hundred years, 2006 01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:10,200 Speaker 3: you don't know how to do your life anymore. So 2007 01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:14,040 Speaker 3: they don't remember how to fly their migration path from 2008 01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:17,960 Speaker 3: Austria to Spain. So the humans are flying it in 2009 01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 3: an ultra light for them, and then the birds follow them. 2010 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,160 Speaker 3: They trust the human enough to actually follow the stupid 2011 01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:27,080 Speaker 3: little mechanical thing in the air and fly with the human. 2012 01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,840 Speaker 3: They fly for fifty days. It's the seventeenth year that 2013 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,160 Speaker 3: they've been doing it. How cool is that? Okay, so 2014 01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:36,959 Speaker 3: here's from cool to not cool. How about this Wellington council. 2015 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:39,800 Speaker 3: Do you remember that Reading deal, the Reading Cinema's deal 2016 01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:42,120 Speaker 3: where they were basically going to subsidize it was ridiculous. 2017 01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,479 Speaker 3: I'm going to subsidize a NASDAC listed company. It was 2018 01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:47,240 Speaker 3: one of my favorite stupid ideas of all time. Anyway, 2019 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,120 Speaker 3: do you remember how the council and Tory the mayor, 2020 01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:52,360 Speaker 3: refuse to talk about it all of the time because 2021 01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:57,320 Speaker 3: they it's confidential, it's confidential, it's confidential. Well was it confidential? 2022 01:36:57,439 --> 01:36:58,560 Speaker 2: Because I don't think it was. 2023 01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:01,519 Speaker 3: It turns out Tory just didn't want to have a 2024 01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:03,840 Speaker 3: SmackDown in public. The media have got their hands on 2025 01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:07,599 Speaker 3: some documents that show that just before the council actually 2026 01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:11,719 Speaker 3: voted on this, the council's chief financial officer, Andrea Reeves, 2027 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:15,639 Speaker 3: who should not be politicized. Andrea, if you're listening, you're 2028 01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 3: not supposed to play politics. May She emailed council staff 2029 01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,400 Speaker 3: that saying that if Tory looked like she was going 2030 01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:23,920 Speaker 3: to win the vote, then the council should support a 2031 01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:26,640 Speaker 3: public vote, and if there was no chance of the 2032 01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,720 Speaker 3: mayor getting the numbers, the public should be excluded from 2033 01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:32,320 Speaker 3: the meeting. And I'm just waiting to hear back from Nadine, 2034 01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:36,880 Speaker 3: said Reeves. Nadine is Torrifano's political adviser, so in a nutshell, 2035 01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,679 Speaker 3: what she was saying is, Okay, guys, listen, We're gonna 2036 01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:41,559 Speaker 3: let the vote be public if the mayor is going 2037 01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:42,760 Speaker 3: to win, But if the mayor is not gonna win, 2038 01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:45,160 Speaker 3: we're not gonna let the vote be public. How politicized 2039 01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:48,720 Speaker 3: is this council? It's unreal anyway? What can I say? 2040 01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:50,960 Speaker 3: What can I say? It's really no surprise that Wellington 2041 01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:52,439 Speaker 3: City Council plays Lilli Bugger's like that. 2042 01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:56,120 Speaker 6: As I hope everyone enjoyed the break from Oasis yesterday. 2043 01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:58,320 Speaker 6: It's over. We're back on Oasis week now because, as 2044 01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:00,639 Speaker 6: you say, they're back in the news. The ticket prices. 2045 01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:03,160 Speaker 6: They're charging three hundred dollars up to one thousand dollars 2046 01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,400 Speaker 6: in New Zealand money that is for for a ticket. 2047 01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:07,639 Speaker 6: I mean, there's nothing we can do about this because 2048 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:09,360 Speaker 6: the reason they're charging that is because that's what people 2049 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:12,080 Speaker 6: will pay. That's probably slightly lower than the market price 2050 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:13,640 Speaker 6: for an Oasis ticket. But I think it is a 2051 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:15,800 Speaker 6: shame that, you know, some of their poorer fans probably 2052 01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:17,000 Speaker 6: won't get as much of a chance to see them 2053 01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:17,479 Speaker 6: as they're. 2054 01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:20,280 Speaker 3: It's okay, the poor fans have got the albums they like. 2055 01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:23,080 Speaker 6: They do, but I think they have, especially since lots 2056 01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:24,479 Speaker 6: of them wouldn't have had a chance to see them. 2057 01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,800 Speaker 3: When you know, oh okay, so we're turning a concert 2058 01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 3: into a socialist thing. Well, I mean, it's not like 2059 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:30,800 Speaker 3: they need the money, is it.
