1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: for New Zealand business Oli Perlis from afternoon six PR

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Live perth Oi. Good afternoon, Yet a Ryan. Fifteen thousand

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: knives seized by Victoria police across the year. That's a

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: hell of a lot. What are we talking?

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Well, if you put it in this context, that's almost

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: fifty knives and machetes taken off Victorian streets every single day. Ryan,

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: So fourteen thousand, eight hundred and eight weapons were taken

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: off streets in Victoria last year. Now it's fifteen thousand

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: this year. There's obviously been a big targeted push in

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: Victoria with these machette bins that have been put around

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: the state to collect machetes which have been banned from

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: sale in Victoria. But they've got a huge crime problem.

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: It's very well documented, particularly in some of the Melbourne suburbs,

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: and lots of people having their cars stolen, their homes

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: broken into. It's just not a good advertisement to the

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: rest of the world that Victoria's got such issue with crime.

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: But how's that almost fifty taken off the streets every day?

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: So hell of a lot. Now, the coalition we've just

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: been talking about. They've been arguing about, you know, net zero.

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: It now they're doing immigration.

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they want to do. So obviously they've

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: got the decide they're not going to have a net

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: zero policy. They want to talk about instead kitchen table economics. Ryan,

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: I like that term. But basically the opposition is now

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: going to try and prosecute the governments and say that

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: the reason that energy prices are going up because we're

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: going for net zero. The reason that businesses are going

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 2: broken this country is because of net zero, and the

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: reason that we don't have manufacturing here in Australia is

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: because of net zero. That's the new argument that the

32
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: opposition is going to try and prosecute. Difficulty is that

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: they don't have too much credibility at the moment because,

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: as you mentioned there in the World Wise, those opinion

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: polls for Susan Lee a diabolical. There are some reports

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: around today that Angus Taylor and or Andrew Hasty affirming

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: to replace Susan Lee. I don't think that's going to

38
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: happen anytime soon. To be perfectly frank, she's only been

39
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: in the job since June of this year, and yes

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: it is killing season in the last week of Federal Parliament.

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: But why do it now? We're were we could two

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: and a half years away from an election. I know

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: that the coalition looks like it's steering into the abyss.

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: Maybe forever and ever are men, but it's just not

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: the time. You just wouldn't be making a change at

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: the moment. So I don't think that will eventuate. Having

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: said that, they say by Christmas they'll come out with

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: a new policy about immigration, saying that this is obviously

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: hurting Australian families and it's a major issue in Australiana's

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: labor will let anybody into this country. So whether they

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: can start trying to once again get a hold of

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: the narrative and get a hold of the political debate,

53
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: that is to be seen because they are floundering.

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: Finally, what's going on with your pedestrian crossings Onlie? Well?

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: This is interesting. Haven't you got AI in New Zealand?

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: Or that hasn't come? Sorry?

57
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: Ryan, I thought we've got the internet. We've got the

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: internet dial up. Yeah, we get Coronation Street about ten

59
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: years after it's eared in the UK. I'm probably the

60
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: same with Home and Away actually, but yes, we do

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: have AI.

62
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: All right, good because there's nothing more. And I'm sure

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: plenty of Kiwis would love catching the ferry from Circular

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: keyt to Manly Wharf and when you get off the

65
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: wharf and you're trying to cross the road to get

66
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: over to the Corso this is probably the jaywalk capital

67
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: of Australia because you just go right, you just I

68
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: can't need to cross the road. I need to get

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 2: to the beach. I need to get to Manly Beach

70
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: is one of the best places in the world. But

71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: what they've done now with these set of traffic lights

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: is they put in thermal cameras and artificial intelligence and

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: they've reduced jaywalking by thirty four percent. I mean surprise, surprise,

74
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: Like you have little senses in the roads when it goes,

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: oh there's a car here, we need to go from

76
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: red to green to let you go. All of a sudden,

77
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: they're seeing how many pedestrians there are, so they're giving

78
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: pedestrians a greater opportunity to cross the road. Now there's

79
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: a big push at the moment on this country to

80
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: reduce what is the suburban speed limit or a speed

81
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: limit around here, for example, which is fifty k's now

82
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: down to thirty. They're saying this could be it. We

83
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: could roll out thermal cameras and AI to every intersection

84
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: in Australia and would help obviously also push down our

85
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: growing death toll at the moment, which is relating to

86
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: pedestrian death seron.

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: So there you go, all right, Ollie, thank you for that,
