Coming out today jetstars cut 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of trans Tasman flights. We're gonna have 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 3: a chat to the aviation analyst Jeffrey Thomas about that. 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 3: Whinston Peter's and New Zealand versa claiming that they are 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 3: the ones behind the back down and removing the minimum 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 3: size limits for the commercial fishes. We'll have a chat 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: to Winnie and Mark Douglass. Well check in on them. 12 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 3: He's the guy who has a look a where all 13 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 3: the ships are. Just find out how we're going with 14 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 3: the fuel supplies. 15 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 2: Heather dupericy Ellen. 16 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 3: Right, let's talk about the National Party accident, accidentally letting 17 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: slip that they're selling tables at a dinner with Chris Luxon. Now, 18 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: the story is that the Mainland dinner will be held 19 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: in christ Church next month and if you have a 20 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 3: few thousand dollars spare, you can go along. Dinner at 21 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 3: Chris Luckson's table will cost you ten thousand dollars. Dinner 22 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 3: at a minister's table. A senior minister's table will cost 23 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: you eight thousand dollars. And then just a dinner with 24 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 3: just you know, normal punters, normal civilians will cost you 25 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 3: five thousand dollars. Now we only know about this because 26 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 3: Maureen Pugh shared a copy of the invitation on Facebook, 27 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 3: not her first mistake, and then news Talk zb sort 28 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 3: and then they deleted it, but it was too late 29 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: by then, and queue the outrage. Now I'm not outraged 30 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: by this at all, because this has been going on 31 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: since at least John Key's time. Just Sinda did it 32 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: as well, and I don't think it's any different from 33 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: every other example that we have in our democracy of 34 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: cash for access. This is how power has always worked. 35 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 3: If you have money, you get access to people in power. 36 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 3: Money for lobbyists who then secure you meetings with ministers, 37 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: money for donations that mean the candidates make time for you, 38 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: money for tables at the mainland dinner. In fact, I, 39 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: and this is my personal opinion, I quite enjoy reading 40 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 3: about these dinners because they give me a real time 41 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: market valuation on a political leader. So Chris Luxen is 42 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: selling his table for ten thousand dollars in twenty twenty six. 43 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: Four years ago twenty twenty two, he was selling it 44 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: for fifteen thousand dollars. So he's running at a discount 45 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: at the moment, isn't he. J Just Cinda was selling 46 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: tickets to a conference where ticket holders could have access 47 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: to her for eighteen hundred dollars. That was five years ago. 48 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: So she was more valuable at eighteen hundred dollars in 49 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one than Luxner's right now, or that he 50 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 3: was a year later. If you split it down and 51 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: just look at the cost per seat. John Key, now 52 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: you want to hear about a baller, John Key sold 53 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 3: a table at a dinner for one hundred thousand dollars. 54 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: That's real market political valuation, isn't it. 55 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: Now? 56 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: This tells us how much voters and stakeholders. This is 57 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: why I think it's valuable. It tells us how much 58 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 3: voters and stakeholders a like various leaders B want to 59 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: be seen with them and c rate the chances of 60 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: these leaders being elected and therefore useful. So make of 61 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: that what you will when you look at the numbers. 62 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: But if you are outraged by this, you are going 63 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 3: to be outraged forever because CASS cash for access will 64 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: probably never change ever. 65 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: Do for clans. 66 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: Nineteen nine two is a text number. You let me 67 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 3: know what you've been very sober. Well undoubtedly talk about 68 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: it when he is with us. Just before five o'clock. 69 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 3: Right now, let's talk about Wellington. So the government is 70 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: putting five and a half million dollars into efforts to 71 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: make the capital predator free. If it becomes predator free, 72 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: it'll be the first predator free place in New Zealand. 73 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 3: Predator free. Wellington will get the cash over the next 74 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 3: five years. And the chair is Tim Pankurs, who's with 75 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: us now. I'm Tim, Hey, Heather, good to talk to you. 76 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: What are you going to do with the money. 77 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 5: Well, we've got plenty of good uses for it, and 78 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 5: this is some really good news for Wellington for a change. 79 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 5: So we've got a pretty ambitious project to make the 80 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 5: entire Wellington region predator free by twenty thirty. And that 81 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: takes us right across the city, right across to the 82 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 5: west coast and down to the south coast on Cook straight. 83 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: How do you keep that would Obviously the rest of 84 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: us have got heaps of predators, So how do you 85 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: stop our predators getting into your predator free space. 86 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 5: Good question. So as well as advancing into new areas, 87 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 5: we also have to be really mindful of protecting what 88 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 5: we've already cleared. So we've got enormous network of traps 89 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 5: and cameras and so on, so that you know, we've 90 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: we cleared Mirama Peninsula a couple of years ago. We 91 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 5: have had a couple of reintroductions and we've we've tracked 92 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 5: those by camera and and tracked them down and dealt 93 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 5: to them. So we're moving through fourteen suburbs through the 94 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 5: city at the moment and making good progress across there. 95 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 5: But we're also very mindful of protecting rare areas. 96 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 3: I mean, is this is this is? 97 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 2: This? Is? 98 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 3: This sounds ambitious, right, It sounds ambitious because when you 99 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: think about it, I think, is it Carpety Island or 100 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: Mana Island or one of them? Occasionally some predator will 101 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: swim over there and freak everybody out. Now, if that, 102 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: if they can get across a body of water, they're 103 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: just going to be able to wander down Transmission Gully, 104 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: aren't they. 105 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 5: Look, you know there are there are always going to 106 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 5: be incursions. But if you've got your network set up. 107 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 5: You've got your trap networks, you've got your poison and 108 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 5: your cameras and as I say, we've got a huge network. 109 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 5: You can be pretty confident of keeping out any intruders 110 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 5: once you're cleared an area carpitd The island is predator free. 111 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 5: It's far enough off the mainland to have a barrier there. 112 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 5: And you know the bird song over there is deafening. 113 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: Now, are people's cats going to be safe because they're 114 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: on the hit list now, aren't they? 115 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 5: Look, they're not part of our remit, but they certainly 116 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 5: are part of Predator Free twenty fifty, the wider program 117 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 5: that was reinforced by Conservation Minister time at Potarka today. 118 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 5: But look, Tittle's is safe. 119 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 6: The feral cats a premium. 120 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 5: They're prime predators. They do enormous damage and they really 121 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 5: do need to be taken out. But with the increasingly 122 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 5: sophisticated trapping equipment that we that we have that can 123 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 5: register whether a cat is microchipped or not, so it 124 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 5: won't do any harm to a domestic cat, but will 125 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 5: certainly deal to a feral one. 126 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: Oh really, is it a trap that only goes off 127 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 3: if the cat doesn't have a microchip. 128 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 5: Yes, so that's an increasing you know, owners on domestic 129 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 5: cat owners to get their cats, hopefully desext and microchip. 130 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 5: And I think there is a change in public opinion, 131 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 5: and you know a number of states in Australia it's 132 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 5: an offense to let your cat out at night. We 133 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 5: haven't reached that stage here yet, but there is increasing 134 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 5: awareness that cats are predators and do a lot of 135 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 5: damage to our native wildlife. 136 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: Interesting, Tim, thanks for your time. Appreciate it, mate. That's 137 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 3: Tim Panker's Predator f fory Wellington chair either. If they're 138 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: making Wellington Predator, will all the politicians and counselors go 139 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 3: la la la la ah very good. Hither. I'd paid 140 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: to sit at a table with Barry Soper. He's a 141 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: rock start. That's what you think. I do sit at 142 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: a table occasionally with Barry Soaper. I'd paid one with 143 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: you occasionally when Trump comes up. There's no money in 144 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: the world I wouldn't give to not be there when 145 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: Trump comes up. Honestly, it can ruin a good meal. 146 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: He actually, by the way, he does cash for access. 147 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: Sold a dinner. He sold at dinner the other day. 148 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: Although I note the person who bought the dinner. And 149 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: I do know this person, just say, leading leading chief 150 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: executive in Auckland has not taken him up on the dinner, 151 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: so I think probably he's like me. He's like, yeah, 152 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: I really want to support the Pons and b Rugby Club. 153 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: Here's a few thousand dollars. No, I don't worry to 154 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: hold the dinner with Barry Soper. No stress about actually 155 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: cashing in on that. By the way, these are the 156 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: people who will be at the dinner tables, right if 157 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: you've got the odd what was it, eight thousand dollars 158 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: for the senior guys, there's one table with Nikola Willis, 159 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 3: one table with Simeon Brown. Erica's got a table, Upstein's 160 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: got a table, Mark Mitchell's got a table, Judy Collins 161 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: has got a table, and then there's Matt Doocey and 162 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: Nikola Gregg. Now I would be if I had if 163 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: I was like, okay, I'm gonna if I was gonna 164 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: make my investment pay for me, I reckon. The bargain 165 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: is to sit, don't worry about the ten thousand dollars 166 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: with Chris Luxon. No, no offense to him, but you know, 167 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: we can see what's going on with the polling, and 168 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: we can see what's probably gonna happen.

He's got lots to prove. 219 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 6: But that's the rumor doing the rounds at the moment. 220 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: So would he get paid more over there? 221 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 6: I don't know what he's getting paid here, but they 222 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 6: wouldn't not pay him a pile of money because he's 223 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 6: a superstuff. 224 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 3: Is there any suggestion that his time is up at 225 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 3: the Warriors? 226 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 6: What his contract ends when end of this year? 227 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: Oh well he'd know then, wouldn't he year? 228 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 4: Go? 229 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 6: Okay, well this is it maybe?

So there's a lot 232 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 6: of young players that hey, we're next, and you need 233 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 6: that succession plan and you don't want guys holding on 234 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 6: behind their used by date. And it's a very hard 235 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 6: thing to do is to drop a guy just on 236 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 6: the peak or a girl just on their peak and 237 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 6: get the next one.

It 240 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 6: won't be the first time the last time, quite frankly, 241 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 6: but we'll see. 242 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 9: Now. 243 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: Did they say that they manage to save the Michael 244 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: Jones statue? 245 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 6: What I gather it was the receivers came in and 246 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 6: the company that owned it kind of went boobs up 247 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 6: and they just rolled it and see what we can 248 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 6: sell everything, because that's what happens, right, And it looks 249 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 6: like Eden Park and some other sponsors of climb and 250 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 6: said accident and we got like that will buy it. 251 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 6: It costs three hundred odd grand to build. I don't 252 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 6: know what the value of it is. What happens when 253 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 6: someone goes break though. That's probably a fireside, isn't it. 254 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 6: That's whatever they can for it. So I don't know 255 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 6: how much it costs. It doesn't matter the fact. So 256 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 6: Jones one of the all time greats out of west Aukland, 257 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 6: I might i'd still see him rolling around TI today. 258 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 6: And you're looking fine and see if like don't there 259 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 6: you go at top human, wonderful player, and it's so 260 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 6: good to have that then I don't think New Zealanders 261 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 6: do this well enough. We don't celebrate what's great. 262 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: You got to put up another one. 263 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 6: What would you put up a golden Donald Trump? 264 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, no, you would have. 265 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 6: He'd pay for it. 266 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was here. I was expecting a. 267 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 6: Serious ivan major the speedway drive I'm taking away. I'm 268 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 6: just it's Eden Park is a place where we'd probably go. 269 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 6: Cricket and rugby and rugby league. Right, they're the first 270 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 6: ones because that's what it's played there. But let's just 271 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 6: expand that and look at the history of sport in 272 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 6: New Zealand across all sorts of sports and celebrate those 273 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 6: around Eden Park.

So we're going to get to that shortly. 302 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 3: We'll do it after the news A. I've got an 303 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 3: update for you on the war in Iran. Looks increasingly 304 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 3: like this might be over that at least there is 305 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 3: a chance that it might be over because there are 306 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 3: peace talks, after all, which are due to be held 307 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: in Pakistan. Trump has sent Iran a fifteen point plan. 308 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: It's unclear whether they're going to accept this or not, 309 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 3: because it sounds like it's the same peace plan he 310 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: sent them about a year ago, and they're rejected that. 311 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 3: He says that Iran has offered him a big prize, 312 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: but he won't say what the big prize is. But 313 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: they have said, and maybe this is the big prize. 314 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: They have said that ships can now travel through the 315 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 3: Strait of Hormuz again, non hostile vessels will be allowed through. 316 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: The trouble with that is that there are possibly as 317 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 3: many as twelve mines that have been laid in the 318 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: Strait of Homer's by Iran. Also that there is always 319 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: the possibility that this does not end. Because he is 320 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: being Donald Trump. He is sending thousands of marines to 321 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: the Middle East, and the Israeli military has said it 322 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: one to keep fighting a run for several more weeks 323 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: to achieve its war aims. So how this is going 324 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: to shake down, we don't know. But we're gonna have 325 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: a chat to Matt Tyrell who is Marco Rubio's former 326 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 3: chief of staff. And on the chances that this is 327 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: the end of the thing, he will be with us 328 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 3: after half past five. Heather, Wellington has a wharf and 329 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: a train station, so therefore predator free is a waste 330 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: of money. Also, apparently Transmission Gully is going to be 331 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: not just a highway for vehicles, but a highway for 332 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: the states and so on.

Regarding yesterday's scrap about the youngest cabinet minister 341 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: between Brook van Balden and Phil Goff, I we've aged 342 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 3: checked Sime and Brown because he looks like a thirteen 343 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 3: year old lining up to get his Duke of Etta ward, 344 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: which is harsh but also true. Here he has four children. 345 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: I know pray he's doing well for him. That is 346 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 3: a young achiever. That is somebody who is absolutely doing 347 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 3: moonshots outside his age category. Would you say big private 348 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: sector job for him after he's finished tidying up the country. Now, 349 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: the government has announced that it's doing a u turn 350 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: on its plans to amend the Fisheries Act. So basically 351 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 3: what the plan was that they were going to allow 352 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: commercial fishes to essentially be able to sell undersized fish, 353 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 3: and for obvious reasons, that did not go down well 354 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: with recreational fishes, as it shouldn't it. So anyway they've 355 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: decided they're going to get rid of it. Now. The 356 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: interesting thing here is that everybody is claiming credit for 357 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: this idea. So Winston has said that he had a 358 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 3: dinner with Shane last night and at the dinner they 359 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 3: decided that that would be the end of it. But 360 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 3: now National is claiming credit and the Prime Minister said, well, 361 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: actually he had a meeting with Shane this morning and 362 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: after sort of laying down the law, Shane decided that 363 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: he would get rid of it. So to clear this up, 364 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: not that it necessarily will clear this up. We will 365 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 3: have a chat to Winston Peters about this after five o'clock. 366 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 3: Bary Soapers of Us in ten minutes twenty four away 367 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 3: from five. 368 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: It's the World Wires on news Talks. They'd be drive. 369 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 3: The US has reportedly sent a fifteen point piece plan 370 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: to a Run. We don't know what the fifteen points 371 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 3: are yet, and Donald Trump says a Run is ready 372 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 3: to make a deal. 373 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 4: Their navy's gone, their air force is gone. Their communications 374 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 4: are going. That's the biggest problem. It's very hard to 375 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 4: communicate them between themselves. All of the anti aircraft is gone. 376 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 3: Over the ditch. Fifty one service stations across New South 377 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: Wales have run dry as a result of the fuel crisis. 378 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 3: The Shadow Water Minister says things are getting pretty bad. 379 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 10: This is getting almost mad Max State. And we know 380 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 10: what happened in mad Max when the fuel all ran out. 381 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 10: It was the greatest product that fuel and water. And 382 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 10: of course here we have fuel and water again. This 383 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 10: is the huge issues of concern. 384 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: And finally, the US Department of Transportation has stopped sending 385 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 3: new road signs to a small town in Texas because 386 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 3: they keep getting nicked. Nobody's really sure why seventy road 387 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: signs have been stolen, but everyone thinks it's probably the name. 388 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 3: They call this the bug Tussle Track. Well, yeah, the 389 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 3: town is called bug Tussele, and people love, obviously the 390 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 3: name bug Tussele. Only fifteen people live in bug Tussele, 391 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 3: so hopefully they will be able to figure out their 392 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 3: way around town without a sign. 393 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 394 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business Dan. 395 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: Mitchison, US correspondence with our fellow Dan Hey Heather. Okay, 396 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 3: so any the suggestion is that the fifteen points are 397 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 3: the same fifteen points that were sent to Iran last year? 398 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 3: Is that right? 399 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 11: I can't imagine them being too different than that. But 400 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 11: you know, I would imagine there's very little give on 401 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 11: the part of President Trump. 402 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 2: But we'll see. 403 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 11: I mean, right now, he's got the Vpgedy Vans and 404 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 11: our Secretary of State Mark or Rubial leading the negotiations. 405 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 11: Both have said that there is a deal inside, or 406 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 11: at least they're optimistic. I guess that there is a 407 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 11: deal inside. Meanwhile, we've got something like a thousand US 408 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 11: soldiers with the Army that are expected to deploy in 409 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 11: the coming days over there, according to CNN, to the 410 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 11: Middle East. So who knows why they're sending them now 411 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 11: if they feel that they're this close to a deal. 412 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 11: But I guess we'll have to see what happens in 413 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 11: the next maybe twenty four to forty eight hours. 414 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 3: And who was it the j D Vons and Witkoff 415 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 3: on negotiating with. Is it the Speaker of the House 416 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 3: in Iran? 417 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 11: That's what they're trying to do. They're speaking with several Well, 418 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 11: what President Trump has said, are our high end officials again, 419 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 11: And you've got that going on over there. And then 420 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 11: here you've got the Republicans that have rejected a resolution 421 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 11: for the President to see congressional approval for all of this, 422 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 11: all this military action against I run. I think this 423 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 11: is the third time that they've tried to do this, 424 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 11: and the Democrats have just been unsuccessful. But they say 425 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 11: they're going to keep doing it until they get to 426 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 11: boats moving over their way. 427 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 3: Now, if they are they, if I'm talking to buy 428 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: being the Iranians, if they rejected these these fifteen points 429 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 3: a year ago, what makes them accept it this time? 430 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 11: Well, I mean, maybe what's happened in the last couple 431 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 11: of weeks. Maybe it's the sanctions, Maybe it's the threat 432 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 11: of more US troops, Maybe it's the threat of boots 433 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 11: on the ground, which the President continues to say, well, 434 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 11: we're not going to do that. 435 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: But you know we've heard. 436 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 11: That before over here in other conflicts, and you know 437 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 11: we've ended up doing that. So I mean, who's to 438 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 11: say what they're negotiating behind closed doors. But there's got 439 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 11: to be a little bit of give and take, you 440 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 11: would have to think for them to lose some face. 441 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm gonna have to give a lot. I mean, 442 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: they have just had the crap bombed out of them, 443 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: so i'd imagine they have to give up quite a bit. Hey, 444 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 3: what's this about you people trying to grow headless humans? 445 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 11: Don't we have some already over here? I don't know, 446 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 11: but well, these are billionaires. These are people that are 447 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 11: way out of my tax bracket here, and they're they're 448 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 11: cashing in on this cutting edge technology out of Boston. 449 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 11: And what they're trying to do is produce these genetically 450 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 11: engineered Okay, it starts with monkey organs, and they're hoping 451 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 11: that they'll grow human. 452 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: Parts right after they do that. 453 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 11: They're trying to grow like lungs and other body parts 454 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 11: right now, and they're calling them, I think body OIDs. 455 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 11: And so you've got lungs and kidneys and hearts from 456 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 11: a few cells that they're growing in labs and they're 457 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 11: keeping them alive to perform experiments on them. And the 458 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 11: CEO of this company, Mortal Dragons, told Wire magazine that 459 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 11: they hope that they would soon be able to produce 460 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 11: human bodyoids too. And I just don't like the way 461 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 11: between this and AI. I just don't like the way 462 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 11: my future is looking in another ten or fifteen years. 463 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 3: What was the idea that if you're a billionaire, you 464 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 3: take your hit and you check it on your new body. 465 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 11: Well, I think the idea is, if you're a billionaire, 466 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 11: you'll be able to get a new lung or a kidney, 467 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 11: or you'll say, you know, I need you to grow 468 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 11: this and this and this for me, and they'll do that. 469 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 4: You know. 470 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: Not to like about that nice. 471 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: Right now? 472 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 3: A lot to do with a new voice box, do 473 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like if you, if you, 474 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: if you had a bit, if you lable like an 475 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 3: you're down to your last kidney, we've got to take 476 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 3: it out. How good you throw a new. 477 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 11: One in theory, I think it's a wonderful idea. And 478 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 11: not having to wait on a list for years and 479 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 11: years and years and maybe not ever get somebody to 480 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 11: donate one but then I think you're going to be 481 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 11: getting into a lot of ethical things. I think you're 482 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 11: going to be looking at a black market out there. 483 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 11: And then who's to say how many people are going 484 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 11: to be able to afford this? I mean, right now, 485 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 11: you've got billionaires look at this. How long before it 486 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 11: comes down to where you and I can of wealth? 487 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 11: Maybe you can it, you know me somebody like me 488 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 11: that could afford this? 489 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 3: Hey, do you like seeing the like lease formal more? Ine? 490 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 11: No, No, I think it looks cheap. It looks like 491 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 11: a college TV station. Their ratings are in the toilet. 492 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 11: They're cutting staff left and right, and now it feels 493 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 11: like they're just throwing anything against the wall to see 494 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 11: it stick. You've got Anderson Cooper and anchors like Jake 495 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 11: Tapper doing their show from their office with these overside podcasts, 496 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 11: oversized podcast microphones, And what it appears to me at least, 497 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 11: is that they're trying to pander to a younger audience. 498 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 11: And Heather, here's the thing. TV still doesn't get their 499 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 11: core audience. And this is on the young side, thirty 500 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 11: five to sixty four, they'd love the younger and twenty 501 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 11: five to fifty four year olds. They're not going to 502 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 11: get the demo to switch over to watch something because 503 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 11: you change around a news set, you know, they're just 504 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 11: not Yeah, you experiment and you fail. 505 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: But it's really but you know what, they're going to 506 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 3: change the young ones and then at the expense of 507 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 3: the audience that they had already. It's such a bad idea, Dan, 508 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 3: thank you, I appreciate it, mate, Dan Mitchinson, US correspondents 509 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: seventeen away from five ever, do for latest funing numbers 510 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 3: for you, because remember it's coming out twice weekly now, 511 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 3: some Mondays and Wednesdays. So as of the last count, 512 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 3: which was on Monday two days ago, the country had 513 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 3: forty nine days worth of petrol, forty six days worth 514 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 3: of diesel, and forty three days worth of jet fuel. 515 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 3: Roughly half of what we have is on the water 516 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 3: and half is on the land, except for the diesel 517 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: where it's it looks it's much more skewed to where 518 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 3: really we really need those tankers to come. And we've 519 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 3: got eighteen days worth of jet field of diesel sorry here, 520 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: and we've got about twenty eight days on the water, 521 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 3: so we're looking for that coming in. All of this 522 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 3: is expected to arrive within the next two weeks. If 523 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 3: you watch closely, if you are watching it closely, you 524 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: will notice that we are ten percent. We have ten 525 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: percent less than we had two weeks ago, which I 526 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 3: don't think, I mean, I don't think, you know, is 527 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 3: something to die in a ditch over. The question though, 528 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: is have we had a disruption in the frequency? So 529 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: are we getting fewer? Like I is there something going 530 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: on that there are fewer of these guys arriving already? 531 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 3: You know the tankers. These guys are the tankers by 532 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 3: the way. So Mark Douglas, who's with Starboard Maritime Intelligence, 533 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 3: who've spoken to a couple of times. They watch all 534 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 3: the ships that can tell us what's going on here, 535 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: will be with us after six o'clock. On the same subject, 536 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 3: Jetstar has announced it's going to cut more than ten 537 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 3: percent of the scheduled flights transpasmin flights obviously between Australia 538 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 3: and New Zealand. It's about actually, I think to be fair, 539 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 3: it's about twelve percent. This is Auckland, Sydney, Auckland Brisbane flights. 540 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 3: They say it's temporary. We will have a chat to 541 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: Jeffrey Thomas Aviation analyst after five, Barry Sooper is next 542 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 3: sixteen away from. 543 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: Five Politics with centrics credit, check your customers and get 544 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: payments certainty. 545 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 3: It's thirteen away from five and barrysopousing your political correspondence 546 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 3: here high Barry, Good afternoon, Heather. Do you care about 547 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 3: the Stanford email? Scale of waiting go on? 548 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 8: I would say about it two? If that, I mean, 549 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 8: who key is? I mean she's not doing what she inadvertently, 550 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 8: she says, pointed people to the National Party website about 551 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 8: the tools that are now available to schools to get 552 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 8: better literacy and numeracy out of the students. Now you know, 553 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 8: she stood up and did a video herself explaining the 554 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 8: the how that how it was meant to go and 555 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 8: I think, you know, that's her doing her job. But 556 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 8: unfortunately it was channeled through the National Party website and 557 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 8: that was the big problem. But Anderson, who of Courses, 558 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 8: the new education spokes spokesperson for the Labor Party, taking 559 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 8: over from Willow jeen Prime, who had a number of 560 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 8: difficulties in that role. Ginny Anderson had a few difficulties 561 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 8: today as well. She wanted to get into the weeds 562 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 8: about why the email, which basically was taken down why 563 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 8: it was so suddenly withdrawn? Winston Peters, though seeing the 564 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 8: irony in all of it, dragged the debate into the absurd. 565 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 3: Have a listen. 566 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 12: How does this temporary brief oversight for a few minutes 567 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 12: compare with the A fifty two million bribe to the 568 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 12: Public Interest Journalism Fund A. 569 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 13: Mister speaker, a member of the House cannot accuse anyone 570 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 13: of bribery. 571 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 12: And I did not hear that word bribery if it 572 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 12: was used, can remember indicate if that word was used, 573 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 12: it was used, and I stand behind Okay, good, you 574 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 12: do have to with all that coming withdraw. What I 575 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 12: would in the meantime suggest the member simply withdraws it 576 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 12: or withdraws from the house. 577 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 14: Who removed the video from the National Party YouTube channel 578 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 14: at around ten pm last night. 579 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 15: Mister speaker, I don't know the identity of the exact 580 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 15: person that. 581 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 12: Did it, the Honorable David Seymour. 582 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 16: Has the Minister considered engaging a private detective to get 583 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 16: to the bottom of this weighty matter. Who did it, 584 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 16: who took it off the you to your TUE channel, 585 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 16: and how do we make. 586 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 13: Sure it never happens again? 587 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 15: Mister Speaker, I know that the member is very excited 588 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 15: about her very first question as Education spokesperson and would 589 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 15: have a great conspiracy, But unfortunately, mister Speaker, there is 590 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 15: not one here. 591 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 8: I just loved the absurdity of the debate. Settlers such 592 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 8: a minor thing to take up the time of the House. 593 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 8: Why on earth you'd asked a question about it? Maybe 594 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 8: Ginny Anderson is now reflecting. 595 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 3: On being the Education withdrawal or not. 596 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 8: Oh, I'm sorry I should have said he did with 597 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 8: drays reluctantly. 598 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 3: Hey, have you got a cold watch for us? 599 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 6: Have I got a call? 600 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 8: It would be great because the electricity generation in New 601 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 8: Zealand that got an airing during question time in the 602 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 8: House today. Theoretically the lights should never go out in 603 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 8: this country. I did a bit of digging about how 604 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 8: much renewable electricity we have. Eighty to ninety percent of 605 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 8: our energy is renewable, mainly coming from hydro and geothermal. 606 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 8: Hydro accounts for about fifty five percent, geothermal twenty one percent, 607 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 8: wind up to nine percent, very little and sold her 608 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 8: up to just two percent. But like electric cars at 609 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 8: the moment, that's rapidly winding up. Now you'd think the 610 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 8: Greens Chloe Swarbrick would know about all of this. She 611 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 8: had a political point to make, though, despite what Chris 612 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 8: Luxon was telling his deputy David Seymour, here they all are. 613 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 17: New Zealand is the only country I know of that's 614 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 17: making the rather unique transition from domestic gas to international coal, 615 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 17: in the process worsening emissions. But that is a function 616 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 17: of a failed Labor Greens energy policy. 617 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 16: Does burning coal to generate electricity increase or decrease New 618 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 16: Zealand's emissions? 619 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 17: I think actually burning international Indonesian coal is about twice 620 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 17: as bad as using domestic gas. 621 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 18: What will it take for him to cancel this billion 622 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 18: dollar fossil fuel dependence fostering LNG infrastructure and instead invest 623 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 18: that money in renewables. 624 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 17: This is a country experiencing a renewables boom. 625 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think maybe the Green should have thought 626 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 8: about that when they were part of a government, not 627 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 8: an influential part of the Labor government in the past 628 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 8: three years. But they should have thought about pushing that 629 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 8: cause there really quickly. 630 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 3: I'm not too stressed out about this dinner, this ten 631 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 3: thousand dollars dinner with Luxeen, are you? 632 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 5: Yeah? 633 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 8: Well, it's it's not ten thousand dollars ahead. 634 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 3: It's a table. 635 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 8: It's a table. So and I heard your very unkind 636 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 8: remarks about my somebody. 637 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 3: Well, I will point out nobody's cashing it. Have they? 638 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 3: They paid for it a year ago. 639 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 8: We've got a date, have you. We're going in a 640 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 8: couple of week after next, very senior businessman pays several 641 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 8: thousand dollars to have dinner with me. But it's a 642 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 8: good cause because it's for the Pontston b Rugby Club. 643 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 3: And sorry, I didn't realize that your your date plans 644 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 3: with each other were that well advanced. 645 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 8: Well, I think I inquired over your availability here though 646 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 8: maybe you're forgetting. 647 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 3: No, I have nothing in my diary. There is nothing 648 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 3: in my ear. 649 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 6: Oh really, well you must have forgot. 650 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: That's the end of that. Yes, it's completely running. 651 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 8: It's been taken up.

It's an astronomer 680 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 3: there to see where this is realistic or not. In 681 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 3: twenty minutes time, now, did you see that someone the 682 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 3: situation with the gas stations has gone to the police. 683 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 3: So someone called the cops on a couple of guys 684 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: who were filling up barrels at a gas station in 685 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 3: Lower Hut. It was the Gull station on Eastern Hut Road. 686 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 3: Happened on Monday. Martin Martin was the one. Martin was. 687 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 3: Martin was not impressed with what he saw. He saw 688 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 3: a truck park up, had multiple large barrels in the back. 689 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 3: He reckons, about three of them, he reckons. Each of 690 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 3: them were able to hold about two hundred liters of fuel, 691 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 3: and there are a couple of guys filling them up. 692 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 3: What he didn't like was the guys were acting suspiciously. 693 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 3: To his mind, they had their hoodies or jumpers kind 694 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 3: of covering their heads, and that he thought they were 695 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 3: trying to hide the vehicle's license plate. I thought this 696 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 3: a reasonable conclusion to have reached, because the tarp that 697 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 3: was lining. The inside of the truck had fallen out 698 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: and half covered that, So you know, it could have 699 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 3: been an accident, could have been deliberate. Who knows Martin 700 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 3: thought deliberate. He was quote pretty angry about the volume 701 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: of fuel he claims was taken. When I saw it, 702 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 3: I knew it was wrong. Took a couple of seconds 703 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 3: to sink in. I yelled out, Hey, what do you 704 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 3: think you're doing? And he just said sorry. So Martin 705 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 3: did what any reasonable person would do. He called the cops, 706 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 3: called the cops. Cops said him, mate, it's not illegal 707 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 3: to fill up your barrels and then pay for your fuel. 708 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 20: Cool. 709 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 3: I was really confused about that, but yeah, no further 710 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 3: action was taken, but Martin spoke to Stuff about it. 711 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 3: There you go, told you it was going to go. 712 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 3: It's gonna be more of that. By the way, he 713 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 3: was gonna bet angry. Jeff Thomas aviation analysts will bet 714 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 3: us next on Jet Star canceling all those Transpasman flights. 715 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 3: Newstalks had been. 716 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 717 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: get the answers, find and give the analysis. Hither duplicy 718 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: Ellen Drive with one new Zealand and the power of 719 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: satellite mobile news talks. 720 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 3: Good Afternoon Jets is cutting flights to New Zealand. About 721 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 3: twelve percent of their trans Tasman routes in May are gone, 722 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 3: and this includes flights between Auckland and Sydney and Auckland 723 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 3: and Brisbane. It is, of course, the jet fuel costs 724 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 3: that are to blame. Jeffrey Thomas is an aviation commentator 725 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 3: out of Perth and the founder of Daily Airline News 726 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 3: and with. 727 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 9: Us Hi Jeffrey, Greetings are Heather? 728 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 3: Why are they cutting trans Tasman routes? First? 729 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 9: Okay, so with low cost airlines they're very priced sensitive. 730 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 9: As we know, they've got the much cheap affairs. The 731 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 9: problem then becomes their passengers typically don't want to pay 732 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:40,479 Speaker 9: that extra fuel costs on their airfare, and so low 733 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 9: cost airlines all around the world are cutting back on 734 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 9: services and consolidating services because of the impact of the 735 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 9: additional fuel cost, whereas premium carriers are less impacted because 736 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 9: they're the tolerance of their passengers for a higher fair 737 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 9: is much greater. 738 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 3: Would you expect to see them also charactmistically within Australia. 739 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 9: Look, it's certainly possible. They will be looking to conserve 740 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 9: fuel wherever they can, obviously, and again the same price 741 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 9: sensitivity applies in Australia, as New Zealand, as around the world. Yes, 742 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 9: they'll certainly be looking to do some pairing back. And 743 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 9: at the same time, you know, premium carriers are also 744 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 9: looking to consolidate services where they can. If one particular 745 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 9: flight or a couple of flights are not full, then 746 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 9: they'll say, look, how can we save some fuel here 747 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 9: and save some fuel there. So I think that's going 748 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 9: to be an ongoing situation as long as this problem 749 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 9: occurs in the Middle East. 750 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 3: Okay, they say it's temporary. What does temporary mean? Do 751 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 3: you think? 752 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 9: Well, that's a very good question, and normally you, under 753 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 9: normal circumstances, you could make a really fairly good educated guess. 754 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 9: But I think at the moment everybody would agree we 755 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 9: don't have normal circumstances at all. With some of the 756 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 9: folks that are involved in this. However, I think pressure 757 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 9: is being applied. I think there's some dynamics that are 758 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 9: playing out domestically in the United States with soaring fuel 759 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 9: prices and the economies in serious trouble, and therefore the 760 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 9: pressure is being applied to end this conflict as quickly 761 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 9: as possible. We've also got Russia and China putting on 762 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 9: immense pressure as well to bring this to a close, 763 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 9: and we are getting indications that some discussions supposedly are 764 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 9: taking place or some reaching out. So to answer your question, 765 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 9: I'm hoping that in the next two to three weeks 766 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 9: we may see this situation abating. How long it would 767 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 9: then take for the fuel supply line to normalize, You're 768 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 9: probably talking a couple of months before that starts to 769 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 9: get back to normal and the pricing hopefully returns to 770 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 9: something that's reasonable. 771 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 3: Jeffy, it's been really good to talk to you. Thank 772 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 3: you for your time. That's Jeffrey Thomas, aviation commentator, founder 773 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 3: of Daily Airline News. Ten past five. 774 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 2: Heather Do quite a significant. 775 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 3: Background from the government on its plans to amend the 776 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 3: fishing laws. New Zealand first was planning changes that would 777 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 3: essentially allow commercial fishes to sell undersized fish. They're now 778 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 3: not going to do that, and the leader, Winston Peters 779 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 3: is with us high Winston, Hello, why do you change 780 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 3: your mind? 781 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 20: Well, thank me. We were hearing from a lot of 782 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 20: people and the issue was very very confusing, and the 783 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 20: end that it was one or the other, and we 784 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 20: decided that they were right for two profound reasons. One 785 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 20: is that it was being listened to, it to what 786 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 20: we were trying to do. And the second is that 787 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 20: if you were new immigrant and many have been caught 788 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 20: now with undersized shellfish and undersized fish, they don't know 789 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 20: that there's a law, and all we do is reinforcing 790 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 20: the paper that there's no laws when the counters minimal size. 791 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 20: So in the end we made a decision and said no, 792 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 20: let's dump it down, then go with what people think 793 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 20: and see weekend sort it out. 794 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 3: Now the National Party appears to be taking credit for this. 795 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 3: I mean the Prime Minister has suggested that he had 796 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 3: a meeting with Shane Jones this morning and it was 797 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 3: discussed then that the issue was dropped there after. Is 798 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 3: that correct? 799 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 20: It was a meeting with Shane Jones. That is true. 800 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,320 Speaker 20: The issue was dropped there after, but the Prime Minister's 801 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 20: office was warned that the purpose of the meeting would 802 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 20: be for us to say we are going to change 803 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 20: the law. 804 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 3: So you guys had already taken that decision yourselves. 805 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 20: That's right. Well, Shane is a minister. Well, to tell 806 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 20: you the truth, we've been talking about it for days 807 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,280 Speaker 20: and we confirmed it this very early this morning, chronologically, 808 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 20: I don't know, hours before the meeting with Lusson. 809 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 3: Okay, because he I mean, the thing is, Shane Jones 810 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 3: has been pretty vocal in defending this until the very 811 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 3: last minute, then, hasn't he Because just a couple of 812 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 3: days ago he was calling critics noisy voices. 813 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 20: Well, to be honest with my colleague, Shane Joanes, that 814 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 20: of a consign to describe people that way, but he's 815 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 20: not beyond reason. And we said to him, Shane, this 816 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 20: issue is getting them all along vibes and from a 817 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 20: lot of people who are recreational fishing, and of course 818 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 20: they don't want to the outcome, which is so you 819 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 20: catched all the sundersized fish and so they're dead, so 820 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 20: you throw them back in the water and recycled the life, 821 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 20: so to speak, as opposed to what your planning to 822 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 20: do bring them back on land dead and dump them 823 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 20: and do that sort of stuff. I said, stick to 824 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 20: the person one to going to say, that's where they 825 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 20: started and we will not be wasting outside a time 826 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,240 Speaker 20: of unnecessary controversy, and he agreed. 827 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 3: All right, Winston, thank you for your time. I appreciate it. 828 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 3: This Winston Peter's New Zealand first leader, Heather do listen. 829 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 3: I'm quite pleased to see this. I think finally the 830 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 3: government looks like it's going to answer the question that 831 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,280 Speaker 3: I've been trying to ask various guests. 832 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 9: I tried. 833 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 3: I tried it a couple of times last week. I 834 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 3: did it. I try to ask I can't remember that. Oh, 835 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 3: it was the Chapper Run's channel channel infrastructure, you know 836 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 3: up there that's all the old Marsden Point oil refinery, 837 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 3: the Chappy run that. Now, try to ask him. And 838 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 3: then the next hour I try to ask them the 839 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 3: kind of well listen, they both kind of shut me down, 840 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 3: and I thought it's no point hammering this. The question 841 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 3: was basically, what is it going to take for us 842 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 3: to get to fuel rationing? Because it's fine, I'm happy, 843 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 3: I'm happy the way that we're carrying on at the moment. 844 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 3: I don't want to do fue rationing, but I'd also 845 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 3: like to know sort of at what point, you know, 846 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 3: how many days of fuel have we got before we 847 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 3: start to go Well, that's not enough let's ration ask 848 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 3: them that they weren't happy to talk about it, but 849 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 3: it looks like they've given it a bit of thought. 850 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 3: Maybe they just hadn't thought about it enough. The thought 851 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 3: about it obviously over the last week. They are going 852 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 3: to answer that question for us, by the looks of things, 853 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 3: on Friday, because they're going to give us, They've said 854 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 3: they're going to give us a clearer idea on Friday 855 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 3: of what it will take to trigger us into the 856 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 3: next level of the fuel saving framework. So put that 857 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 3: in your diary if you've also been wondering, we'll finally 858 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 3: have an answer to that.

If 891 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 3: Martin from Lower Heart sees you like you saw the 892 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 3: other guys with the forty four gallon drums, might in 893 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 3: fact all the cops on you, So be careful. Eighteen 894 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 3: past five. Now NASA is planning to build a base 895 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 3: on the Moon. The NASA administrator says, once the bas 896 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 3: is complete, he wants to see two moon landings a year, 897 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 3: and he wants to see astronauts living in the base 898 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 3: semi permanently. Apparently cost about twenty billion dollars in the 899 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 3: next seven years. Josh Araki is an astronomer at Stardom 900 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 3: and is with us. Now, Hi, Josh Koda, is this realistic? 901 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:39,399 Speaker 9: Oh? 902 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 13: I would love to say yes. I think the goals 903 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 13: are very realistic. I think the budget is very unrealistic. 904 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 13: What more than that, Yeah, I mean it's you know, 905 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 13: you've got to look at the wider picture. Is that 906 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 13: since the Apollo missions, you know, NASA has said they 907 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 13: want to go to the Moon, right, they want to 908 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 13: go back, They want to be sustainable, they want to 909 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 13: have a long term isn't there And they kind of 910 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 13: haven't really solidified plans for for decades really, So yeah, 911 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 13: I think, you know, their big announcement of wanting to 912 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 13: build a moon base, I think is good and they 913 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 13: should want to do that. I think having solid plans 914 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 13: is awesome. But you know, there was also no announcement 915 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 13: of extra funding, of new resources, of how they're going 916 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 13: to do this, So it seems like a bit of 917 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,439 Speaker 13: a bit of a fever dream at this point. 918 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 3: Now, why should we want to be on the Moon? 919 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 3: What's the point? 920 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 13: I think there's not one answer. You know, I could 921 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 13: talk about the you know, the human element of you know, 922 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 13: we're explorers and we're very innately curious, and you know, 923 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 13: we're always driven to do these things. You know, why 924 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 13: do we climb the tallest mountain? So I think we're 925 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 13: always going to want to do them. But I think 926 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 13: for you know, NASA specifically, there's a it's not just 927 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 13: the scientific gain of going to the Moon. There's a 928 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 13: lot of politics that plan to its space explosion is 929 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 13: incredibly political, and there's huge abount of national pride. And 930 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 13: China has been on America's heels for the last few 931 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 13: years and there's kind of proven time time again that 932 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 13: they are if America doesn't step up there are going 933 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 13: to be a leader in space exploration. I think America 934 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,280 Speaker 13: doesn't want that to happen. 935 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 3: Now tell me honestly, Okay, every time you hear Elon 936 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 3: Musk say anything about what he plans to do in space, 937 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 3: do you roll your eyes or Josh, do you think, yep, 938 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 3: that man he's a thought leader here, he's going to 939 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 3: do it. 940 00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:20,479 Speaker 8: Yeah. 941 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 13: I mean, look some of his ideas. I think, yeah, absolutely, 942 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 13: that's awesome. But I mean, you know, back in twenty eighteen, 943 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 13: Elon must say that we were going to be in 944 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 13: the moon in twenty twenty three, which was three years ago, 945 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 13: and we're still not there. So I think if you 946 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 13: add ten to fifteen years to anything that Elon slash 947 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,399 Speaker 13: NASA Evan says, I think that gives you a much 948 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 13: more realistic timeframe. 949 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,319 Speaker 3: Love it, Josh, thank you very much, mate, Appreciate it, Josh, 950 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 3: Alducky stardome astronaut. Hither we're not going to astronaut astronomer. 951 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 3: Very different. Hither we're not going to run out of diesel. 952 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 3: This is just scaremongering. The price will get so high 953 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 3: we will all cut back. Ben. I tend to agree 954 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 3: with you, and I think that. Do you remember at 955 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,880 Speaker 3: the start of COVID, ants was reminding me of this 956 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 3: the other day, and I'd forgotten because I was doing 957 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 3: mental blocking for my own sanity. But at the start 958 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 3: of COVID, people were saying, Oh, you've got to have 959 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 3: four weeks worth of food in your pantry and in 960 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 3: your freeze. Otherwise you're going to die because you're not 961 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 3: going to be able to eat because you're going to 962 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 3: be locked down. Remember that generally what and oh, it's 963 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,359 Speaker 3: going to be thirty percent unemployment. Generally the worst case 964 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 3: scenario absolutely never eventuates. But you know, let's just get 965 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 3: an update on how much diesel we had, because diesel 966 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 3: is what actually powers the economy. So how much have 967 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 3: we got coming in? Have we got enough out there 968 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 3: on the boats? We have a chat to Mark Douglas 969 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,919 Speaker 3: of Starboard Maritime, the people who watch all the ship 970 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 3: says with us after six five twenty one. 971 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 2: Cutting through the noise to get the facts. 972 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: It's heatherdfer Cell and drive with one Zealand coverage like 973 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: no one else news talks. 974 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,760 Speaker 3: There'd be by the way, Marco Rubio's former chief of staff, 975 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 3: is with us just after half past talk us through 976 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 3: where he thinks the thing is going with the war, 977 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,479 Speaker 3: with the run and whether it's over five twenty four. Now, look, 978 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,959 Speaker 3: I understand the sentiment of the Central Hawks, Bay Mayor 979 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 3: and calling for the resurrection of the bi key we 980 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 3: made campaign to save the likes of McCain's from closure. 981 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,320 Speaker 3: But you know, and I know, and I think probably 982 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,359 Speaker 3: in his heart he knows it's a pointless exercise because 983 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 3: it won't work. It hasn't it never has. We did 984 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 3: this in the nineteen thirties, we did it in the 985 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 3: nineteen eighties, we did it in the nineteen nineties, we 986 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 3: did it in the naughties. And if we're still not 987 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 3: buying key we made after nearly one hundred years of 988 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 3: pushing it as an idea, it's because being told to 989 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 3: buy something doesn't make you buy something. In fact, I 990 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 3: don't know if you realize this, but we are actually 991 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 3: still running a buy key we made campaign. We are 992 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 3: not running it. Business New Zealand took it over in 993 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 3: the late naughties when the government dropped it, and they 994 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 3: are still running it. But it's not working, is it? 995 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 3: And you know why that is because it's about price. Hein's, 996 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 3: Watti's and McCain at closing down because what they make 997 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 3: is too expensive for us. Now, we could pay seven 998 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,919 Speaker 3: dollars eighteen akg for McCain's baby beans, or we could 999 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 3: go buy PAMs for four ninety nine a cagy. You 1000 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 3: could buy McCain's mixed veggies at five ninety nine a cage. 1001 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 3: You could buy PAMs at three dollars sixty nine a cagy. 1002 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 3: It is absolutely a no brainer. Even if we cut 1003 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 3: the red tape, that is adding to the cost of 1004 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 3: doing business, Even if we magically dropped the price of power, 1005 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 3: that is also adding exponentially to the cost of doing 1006 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 3: business and is apparently the main reasons why so much 1007 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 3: manufacturing has shut down in the last two or three 1008 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 3: years in this country. New Zealand would still not be 1009 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 3: competitive globally. Our minimum wage is too high. Now we're 1010 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 3: just too expensive as a country. We can't compete with 1011 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 3: the likes of China that can pump out really cheap 1012 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 3: frozen carrots. Now it's not to say I mean I 1013 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 3: feel for the regions that are affected by these closures. 1014 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 3: It is very difficult to replace this kind of work. 1015 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 3: I feel for the workers who are losing their jobs. 1016 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,319 Speaker 3: I mean let's be honest about it. The doll is 1017 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 3: going to be the future for a lot of them. 1018 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 3: There is, honestly, though, nothing that the rest of us 1019 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 3: can do short of a muldoon esque intervention to subsidize 1020 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 3: particular industries in parts of this country. And we all 1021 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 3: know how that ends because we've been there in the 1022 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 3: nineteen seventies and eighties. So let's face it, buying key 1023 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 3: we made is now just too expensive for a lot 1024 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 3: of kiwis ever do for cllen Now, I went to 1025 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 3: the Counting Crows last night, okay, and I didn't sing 1026 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 3: didn't sing along because I said it got a little 1027 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 3: bit of a funny thing throat and I learned about 1028 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 3: what happened with Lenny Kravitz. And you don't want to 1029 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 3: test it because he count do your job. But even 1030 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 3: if I wanted to sing along, I couldn't have sung along. 1031 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 3: Now this is this is I'm gonna moan about something here. 1032 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 3: So this is the second time I've been to Sea 1033 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,760 Speaker 3: Counting Grows with the same girls. Second time. The same 1034 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,919 Speaker 3: thing happened in both performances, which is that old mate 1035 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 3: who used to have the dreads and has chopped them off. 1036 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 3: Obviously doesn't like performing mister Jones, which is their big banger, right, 1037 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 3: so he doesn't sing it like the record. He just 1038 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 3: he just sings it real randomly, like. 1039 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 21: This baby, I just buy myself agree, mister Charles looking 1040 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 21: into the future along with that, if she's looking at you, 1041 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 21: she's looking at me. 1042 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 3: What just happened? That's not the song that you know, 1043 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 3: because you know, when you go to a concert, you're like, 1044 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 3: oh man, I've got I've got.

I'm gonna peake at a 1048 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 3: round about the time they start ripping out mister Jones, 1049 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna sing along. You cannot sing along with 1050 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 3: somebody who's not even singing along with his own song. 1051 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 3: It's really ripped my andy last night. It really did. 1052 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 3: He go, I want to be a lion. 1053 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 2: Everybody wants to j. 1054 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 21: Wanna be big stars. But we got so many, so many, 1055 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 21: so many different reasons for that. 1056 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 3: No, it's so annoying, isn't it? Answer we just annoying, 1057 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 3: shall we? Yeah, just get out of it. 1058 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 6: I just do. 1059 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 2: I'm a cop mansel from. 1060 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:40,839 Speaker 22: Shot it. 1061 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 2: How continue? Hard questions? Strong opinion? 1062 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 1: Hither do for cell and drive with one New Zealand 1063 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 1: tend the power of satellite mobile news talks. 1064 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 2: It'd be. 1065 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, the same thing happens to me at Accounting Crow's concert. 1066 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,360 Speaker 3: It was gutting and that was nineteen ninety nine in London. 1067 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,319 Speaker 3: So all mate, it's been hating his song for about 1068 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 3: twenty seven years. Had all standing by Thomas Skrimser Jack 1069 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 3: tame this evening. It's twenty four away from six. Now 1070 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 3: it looks increasingly like the war in Iran could soon 1071 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 3: be over. Peace talks to you to be held in Pakistan. 1072 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 3: The US has sent a fifteen point plan to Iran. 1073 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 3: Iran is allowing some ships to pass through the strait 1074 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 3: up Jumos as long as they are no threats. Matt 1075 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 3: Terrell is Marco Rubio's former chief of staff. 1076 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 23: I Matt, hey, great to be with you. 1077 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,000 Speaker 3: How do you rate the chances that it's over? 1078 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 23: Well, look, I think if your faller. President Trump is 1079 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 23: saying he's seen it. Iran wants a deal and it's 1080 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,720 Speaker 23: about time, Frankly, I mean, look, the truth is President 1081 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 23: Trump's is day one, has wanted to reach a deal. 1082 00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 23: This war started because Iran didn't want to come to 1083 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 23: the negotiating table on good faith. So we'll see it 1084 00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,879 Speaker 23: takes shape here appears. I think that the White House 1085 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,279 Speaker 23: is optimistic that we could be coming to do an 1086 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,000 Speaker 23: end here. We'll see what happens with these upcoming negotiations. 1087 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 23: But the real he will be in his fifteen point plan, 1088 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 23: does Iran follow it? And will the negotiate in good faith? Here? 1089 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:06,920 Speaker 4: That's the key. 1090 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 3: How do you write the chances that they will accept it? 1091 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 3: If it is the same one that he presented last year? 1092 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 23: Well, I think the chances are much higher this time around. 1093 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 23: I mean, look, the truth is Iran's being decimated right now, 1094 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 23: from the air to the sea. We've seen US forces, 1095 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,719 Speaker 23: as really forces, crumble this regime layer by a layer, 1096 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 23: if you will, so, look, I think the answer your 1097 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 23: question Iran I suspect is really on their heels right 1098 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 23: now and recognize as they are. But with that said, 1099 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 23: this is a regime that appears never give up. I mean, look, 1100 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,440 Speaker 23: in spite of the great success that the US had 1101 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 23: and decimating their raining capabilities, nuclear capabilities. During the Twelve 1102 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 23: Day War. On the heels of that war, in June, 1103 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 23: we saw Iran trying to once again start back up 1104 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 23: their military capabilities. So the truth is, I think it's 1105 00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,280 Speaker 23: a different time, different place Iran and the Ranian regime 1106 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 23: is being decimated right now. I think that's critical in 1107 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 23: terms of decision making on their r What. 1108 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 3: Do you think the prizes that Trump brickings Iran has 1109 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 3: offered them. 1110 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 23: Well, we'll see what happens with this fifteen point plan. 1111 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 23: I would suspect, and again I haven't seen the plan, 1112 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 23: but you know, the truth is, I think we're looking 1113 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,320 Speaker 23: at likely a desire to have Iran turnover all sixty 1114 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 23: percent of riching uranium, you know, suspect, ensuring the inspectors 1115 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,400 Speaker 23: can get into Iran anytime, having those inspectors there to 1116 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 23: ensure Iran is not moving forward a nuclear program. At 1117 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 23: the end of the day, this is not just a 1118 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,960 Speaker 23: bucking Iran to stop their new nuclear capabilities today. It's 1119 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,319 Speaker 23: ensure they never start them once again. And of course 1120 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 23: about opening this trade up her moves as well. That's 1121 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 23: mission critical and maybe there will be and I'm not 1122 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 23: saying this is the case, but potentially repaying the US, 1123 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,680 Speaker 23: you know, for what has occurred here in terms of 1124 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:56,600 Speaker 23: the financial cost of this of this horrific war. But 1125 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 23: in my opinion, the right war that need to be 1126 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,479 Speaker 23: waged by President Trump is really forces given the threat 1127 00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:02,839 Speaker 23: that ran ahead of the world. 1128 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 3: Now, Israel apparently wants to keep on bombing in order 1129 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 3: to achieve its military aims. Is that possible, Like, if 1130 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 3: the US pulls out, they surely have to stop as well, 1131 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:11,319 Speaker 3: don't they. 1132 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,360 Speaker 23: Well, I think what we've seen for the past two years, frankly, 1133 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 23: is that President Trump has developed a very unique and 1134 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 23: solid relationship with the Prime Minister of Israel. I think 1135 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 23: mutually they have great respect for each other, and so 1136 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 23: I think they're gonna be in sync here in terms 1137 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 23: of what happens next. So the answer question, I think 1138 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 23: there Israel, frank is going to file the lead of 1139 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 23: the United States here. I think the world right now 1140 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 23: is recognizing that fol you know, found the lead of 1141 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 23: President Trump. We've already seen Japan, for example, seen that 1142 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 23: they may very well put in place military forces if 1143 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,400 Speaker 23: need be. Here other countries that are frankly appearing to 1144 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,800 Speaker 23: step up more now but look, we are a different 1145 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 23: place today, it appears. But President Trump and the White House, 1146 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,400 Speaker 23: Iran is ready to make a deal. Let's see what 1147 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,919 Speaker 23: Iran does here. But this is a positive step forward, 1148 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,720 Speaker 23: I think. I think it's a recognition among this regime 1149 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 23: about how they we are on their keels right now. Again, 1150 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 23: as I mentioned earlier, it's just been decimated right now 1151 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 23: in terms of the layers of leadership with this regime. 1152 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,680 Speaker 3: Matt, it's good to talk to you as always. Thank you, mate, 1153 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,280 Speaker 3: is Matt Terrell, former chief of staff and Marco Rubio 1154 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:13,840 Speaker 3: is coming up twenty away from six. 1155 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, a name 1156 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,840 Speaker 1: you can trust locally and globally. 1157 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 3: On the huddle with us this evening, Thomas Scrimger, Maximum 1158 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 3: Institute and Jack Tame, host of Saturday Mornings in Q 1159 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,840 Speaker 3: and A Highlights Jack, how do you write the chances 1160 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 3: that this war is essentially over? 1161 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 13: Honestly, I reckon anyone who can guess what's going to 1162 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:37,320 Speaker 13: happen with this with any sort of confidence or certainty 1163 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,720 Speaker 13: is just bessing at the moment. I mean, I really, 1164 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 13: I really hope it's ever soon. I think this is 1165 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 13: a positive step. The fact that the two sides of 1166 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,800 Speaker 13: the US and Iran are talking is obviously a positive step. 1167 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 13: But honestly, who could see how the sun follows. It 1168 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 13: feels like it's perfectly possible that they could reach some 1169 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,960 Speaker 13: sort of agreement. It also feels perfectly possible that Iran 1170 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 13: could keep up at the asymmetric measures for ages, could 1171 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 13: keep threatening shipping through the straight up or moves for 1172 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,319 Speaker 13: months to come. I just don't think we know, Thomas well. 1173 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 24: I think the oil price, as much as people are 1174 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 24: really hating how high it is at the moment, the 1175 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:11,840 Speaker 24: oil market, if they thought the war was going to 1176 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 24: go on for ages longer, we'd probably actually expect to 1177 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 24: see oil being more expensive than the But you know, 1178 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,800 Speaker 24: do you trust oil futures traders is the great predictors 1179 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 24: of the world. I'm not really sure. I think you 1180 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,160 Speaker 24: nailed something in your question about Israel perhaps wanting to 1181 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 24: go along longer than the States do. Trump domestically in 1182 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 24: America is probably facing a lot of pressure to wind 1183 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 24: things up for Israel, and actually the Arab Golf States 1184 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,359 Speaker 24: are probably wanting to quietly keep going further because they 1185 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 24: have their own kind of rivalries with Iran. 1186 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 3: Actually, that's a fair point. Can they, Thomas though, go 1187 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 3: on without the US? 1188 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 24: I don't think they can if the Americans lean on them. 1189 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 24: Now the Arab States are essentially talking to America and 1190 00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,880 Speaker 24: trying to urge America on. They're not doing things themselves. 1191 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 24: Israel could in terms of they have the capacity to 1192 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 24: do it, but I imagine any peace deal with America 1193 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 24: would be trying to tamp them down as well. So no, 1194 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 24: I don't think Israel will operate one right. 1195 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,880 Speaker 13: It really comes back to the question of what Trump's 1196 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,480 Speaker 13: initial intentions were. Right Like, it seems perfectly feasible to 1197 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,839 Speaker 13: me that they could reach some sort of a deal 1198 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,319 Speaker 13: that actually leaves the Iranian regime perhaps more empowered than 1199 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 13: they were before this conflict began. I mean, keep in 1200 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 13: mind the IY Toller was in his mid eighties. He 1201 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 13: was hardly a young man. He probably would have died 1202 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 13: within the next couple of years. Now his son's in 1203 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 13: place arguably more hard line. I mean, the regime not 1204 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:38,360 Speaker 13: necessarily well, that's true, but the regime itself is potentially 1205 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 13: more entrenched. I mean, your previous guests said they've been decimated, true, 1206 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 13: but they're also layered in a way that's completely different 1207 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,399 Speaker 13: to the likes of Venezuela. You look at the Revolutionary Guard, 1208 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,760 Speaker 13: for example, it's just not at all comparable to other conflicts. 1209 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 3: I also think Jack and I think it is a 1210 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 3: fair point to make, but in saying that, we always 1211 00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 3: seem to overlook in this discussion that we're having just 1212 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 3: how much of a bloody pounding these guys have taken. Right, 1213 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 3: if your military has taken a smashing like this, you 1214 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 3: are simply not as powerful as you were. 1215 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 13: I totally agree with that, except that it is asymmetric. 1216 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 13: So all the Iranians need to do to drive up 1217 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 13: the you know, to potentially drive countries like New Zealand 1218 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 13: into economic crises is put a few minds out off 1219 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 13: the coast of the Strait of hor Moves. Is to 1220 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 13: send a speedboat or two out with musicians into the 1221 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 13: Persian Gulf, and they can create absolute chaos. I mean, sure, 1222 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 13: military versus military, the Iranians are totally decimated, but the 1223 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 13: point is that in this day and age, all they 1224 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 13: need is a few things and they can cause distation. 1225 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 3: So I would you not agree they are, though at 1226 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 3: greater risk now of internal descent right. Having the they 1227 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,760 Speaker 3: weakened internally. 1228 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 13: Except that that people in Iran first of all aren't armed, 1229 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 13: second of all, have no way of organizing any sort 1230 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 13: of coherent political opposition. I mean, keep in mind that 1231 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 13: the Internet has switched off most of the time. People 1232 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 13: within Iran don't have a way to communicate with one another, 1233 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 13: so it's not like they can rise up like you 1234 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 13: might see in other countries. They don't have those kind 1235 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 13: of options available. So I think one of the feasible 1236 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 13: scenarios is that we get some sort of a piece 1237 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 13: deal where Donald Trump says, Hurrah, mission accomplished. 1238 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 25: America has done a. 1239 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 13: Great thing here. But at the same time, the Iranian 1240 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 13: regime says. 1241 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 2: Look at us. 1242 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,920 Speaker 13: We have resisted the great oppressor, the great imperialists. Our 1243 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 13: regime is stronger than ever. Sure, we've taken a bit 1244 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,000 Speaker 13: of a pounding in terms of conventional military but we've 1245 00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 13: managed to stick a middle finger up the rest of 1246 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 13: the world. And look what we've achieved. And I think 1247 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,440 Speaker 13: that is maybe the likely scenario. 1248 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,600 Speaker 3: All Right, We're going to come back and have a 1249 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 3: chat about the National Party donation dinner, the fundraising dinner. 1250 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 3: Sixteen away from. 1251 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: Six the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty the 1252 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 1: only truly global brand. 1253 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 3: Right, you're back with the huddle, Thomas Scrimger and Jack 1254 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 3: same right, Thomas. If you had a spare eighth sound, 1255 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 3: let's say eight to ten thousand dollars and you could 1256 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 3: go to the National Party fundraising dinner, whose table would 1257 00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 3: you choose to sit at? 1258 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,440 Speaker 24: Well? I think you know you got to you got 1259 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 24: to think about who's you know, if you're lobbying for 1260 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,440 Speaker 24: particular policy interests, you know obviously you go for the 1261 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 24: relevant minister. But I think it really is is the forecasting. 1262 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 24: Who do you think is going to be there down 1263 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,680 Speaker 24: the line? Yeah, and you know probably if you're doing it, 1264 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 24: I think you get more value for money spreading your 1265 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 24: money around and gown for people a bit junior but 1266 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 24: a bit ambitious. You know, you want to have been 1267 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,320 Speaker 24: there early. If they're already important in making decisions, they're 1268 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,520 Speaker 24: not even listening. Their mind is somewhere else. They're thinking 1269 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 24: about their meetings tomorrow. I don't think if you've got 1270 00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,919 Speaker 24: an existing minister, it's value for money for shadowy lobby. 1271 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 3: Does that just leave you Nicola Grigg? 1272 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:40,919 Speaker 24: Then well, I mean James is going to be overpromised. 1273 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:42,880 Speaker 24: You know, Nikola Gregg up and comer. 1274 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 3: You know, no, no, Thomas, No, You've got it wrong. 1275 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 3: Nicola Gregg is eight thousand, same as Samian, same as Erica, 1276 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 3: so it's it's the same value. So I think I 1277 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 3: like the way you're thinking about this, But I want 1278 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:56,720 Speaker 3: to hear what you've got to say, Jake, what do 1279 00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 3: you think is more? And Q going no, no more more, No, 1280 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 3: we're just giving. 1281 01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,280 Speaker 13: Her are I feel like Mauren would be a good 1282 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 13: fun Marien's got some more stories because I mean, like 1283 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,439 Speaker 13: you know, policy schmallcy you can talk about that. Sure 1284 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 13: you can try and. 1285 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 2: You want to try it out? 1286 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 3: All three times she got hit by lightning? 1287 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,080 Speaker 13: The two or three that was my I mean that's 1288 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 13: my first question is like what what would what what 1289 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 13: distinguished the times in which she got struck by lightning? 1290 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 2: How did that feel? 1291 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 13: I think that would be interesting. I'd love to talk 1292 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 13: submarines with Chris Pink because I know he's into submarines 1293 01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 13: in a big way, and just. 1294 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 3: Make up the people who are at the dinner. They're 1295 01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 3: not at the dinner, so. 1296 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 13: We've got no Pink we've got no meager. 1297 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 3: We've got I can't remember, We've got Sameon, Nicola Erica, 1298 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell, Nicola Grigg is there, what's his face? Who 1299 01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 3: does the mental health? Matt Doocey. And then there was 1300 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:52,800 Speaker 3: like a Judith Collins is there and Chris Luxon. I 1301 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 3: think that's all. 1302 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,560 Speaker 13: I feel like Judath Collins would be would. 1303 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 3: Be, she'd be a hope. But she's on the way. 1304 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 13: There's all the more reason. I mean, again, it's depends 1305 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 13: if you're going for influence or are you going for banter. 1306 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 13: You know, if you're going for and I'm going for 1307 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,360 Speaker 13: banter rather than influence. But I mean that all seriousness, though, 1308 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:12,080 Speaker 13: I mean, let's be honest, it seems a bit ugly 1309 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:16,080 Speaker 13: from the outside. I mean, I personally think our campaign 1310 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 13: fundraising and lobbying laws could do with more than a 1311 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,280 Speaker 13: bit of a tidy up. But it has to be 1312 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 13: said that a lot of parties do this. I do 1313 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 13: remember the last labor government having maybe not ten thousand 1314 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 13: dollars a pop, maybe not quite that much, or eight 1315 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,880 Speaker 13: thousand dollars a pop. They had slightly cheap of it. 1316 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 13: I'm pretty sure they had it. 1317 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 3: Talking about Jack, she was she being just Sinda was 1318 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 3: going for eighteen hundred dollars a person, right, that's per ticket, 1319 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 3: whereas Chris Luxen is selling his table for about ten thousand. 1320 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 3: Now that's divided by six, so he's he's coming in 1321 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 3: under seventeen hundred dollars. So Cindy's more excited for. 1322 01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,479 Speaker 13: Yeah, he's got a discount deflation at work. 1323 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. She'll be worried about that if I 1324 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 3: was him, Thomas. Now, Thomas, what do you make of 1325 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 3: the backdown by New Zealand? First on the fishing law? 1326 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 24: Well, controversially, I think is actually a discussion to be 1327 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,000 Speaker 24: had about whether the rules were a good idea. The 1328 01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:08,200 Speaker 24: evidence on minimum minimum sizes for fish catching is actually 1329 01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 24: kind of complicated. Larger fish are more likely to produce 1330 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,480 Speaker 24: more offspring on a per capita basis, so there is 1331 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 24: a reason to kind of question is this the best 1332 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:22,600 Speaker 24: system we currently have? But politically toxic, it was crazy, 1333 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 24: it was dead on arrival. The new story starts rolling 1334 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 24: and so I thought, you know what, it shows the 1335 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:32,480 Speaker 24: talent of Winston Peters immediately realize backtrack cut it lows, 1336 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 24: you know, get rid of the dead weight. So smart 1337 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 24: politics I think we shut down a really interesting policy debate. 1338 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 3: So everybody's claiming credit for the decision here, Jack so 1339 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,320 Speaker 3: Shane says he and Winston had dinner last night and 1340 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 3: made the decision. But then Luckson says he called Shane 1341 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 3: into the office and made the decision. You want to addud. 1342 01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,680 Speaker 13: Decay, So they didn't have dinner with Luxeon. It wasn't 1343 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 13: an eight thousand dollars conversation. No, No, I mean yeah, 1344 01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,400 Speaker 13: I'm mean, what what is the thing? Success has many 1345 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 13: parents and orphans. I'm are orphans here. I mean I 1346 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 13: agree with Thomas. I mean, it's obviously they have seen 1347 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,480 Speaker 13: that this is a politically toxic issue. They don't want 1348 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 13: to go into November with people constantly, you know, turning 1349 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:19,720 Speaker 13: up in Parliament holding gold fish and saying these are 1350 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 13: the things that New Zealand first want to be supporting us, 1351 01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 13: you know, that tiny little, tiny little fashion saying that 1352 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 13: this is what New Zealand's first support. So I'm not 1353 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 13: surprised to see it. Whether or not it would have 1354 01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,400 Speaker 13: reflected on Christopher luxemand I know, but I'm not surprised 1355 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 13: to see them both claim it. 1356 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:33,560 Speaker 2: Now. 1357 01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,040 Speaker 3: You're probably right, guys, thank you so much appreciated, Jack 1358 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 3: Tame and Thomas scrims ow huddle this evesoning hither. I 1359 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,240 Speaker 3: have to agree with Jack for once Trump got another 1360 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 3: two thousand airborne troops headed to the golf along with 1361 01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 3: five thousand marines on the way. War is not ending 1362 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 3: Friday like a lot of people think, Liam, thank you 1363 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 3: or or is he sending them there because he has to. 1364 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 3: He has to hold something, declare peace and then hold 1365 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 3: something whatever. That something is light away from six. 1366 01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,240 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duper c Allen Drove Show podcast on 1367 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 1: my Ard Radio powered by Newstalk zb. 1368 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 4: OH. 1369 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,439 Speaker 3: I see the old fuel crisis is heading the post 1370 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 3: in Australia. Now, this is not like they have what 1371 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,440 Speaker 3: is called a fuel levy. Normal punters don't pay a 1372 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 3: fuel levy if if you're in Australia doing the posting, 1373 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,520 Speaker 3: and even most businesses don't pay. It's just some business 1374 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 3: customers who pay this fuel levy. It's about thirty thousand 1375 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 3: to them. From April twenty third to a month away, 1376 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,680 Speaker 3: the fuel levy will rise from four point eight percent 1377 01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 3: to get this twelve percent and then the Star Trek 1378 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 3: Express and Premium fuel charge fuel surcharge will rise from 1379 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 3: fifteen and a half percent to twenty two point seven percent, 1380 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,320 Speaker 3: So they're going to notice that, I would say five 1381 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 3: away from six. Now, Kerry prendercast have to talk about it. 1382 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,640 Speaker 3: I've just completely ballsed up her name, Kerr Prendergast. Now 1383 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 3: I don't know if you I was on leave on Friday, 1384 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 3: but I had a giggle at this. I thought, well, 1385 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 3: that's a bit funny, Like I don't condone it, but geez, 1386 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 3: Carri's like, what would she be She'd be seventy, I reckon, 1387 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,720 Speaker 3: she's seventy, and she's a grand and she's the nicest woman. 1388 01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 3: She's just she would probably not like me saying she's nice, 1389 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 3: because she's actually got. She's a woman of steel. But 1390 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 3: she's a well put together woman, do you know what 1391 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 3: I mean? Like you are. She is not the kind 1392 01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 3: of woman who would embarrass herself. So I found it 1393 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 3: quite funny to hear that Carrie had been on this 1394 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 3: former mayor of Wellington if you don't know who I'm 1395 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 3: talking about, also a former midwife, so you know, good 1396 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:26,440 Speaker 3: good woman. Anyway, So Carrie was on Nick's show on 1397 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 3: Friday in the morning in Wellington and she admitted that 1398 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,200 Speaker 3: she'd lost her driver's license for three months because she'd 1399 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,640 Speaker 3: been speeding. Because she's got it. She's got a lead leg, 1400 01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 3: hasn't she She's got a Tesla, and so the Tesla 1401 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 3: and you know this, with an electric vehicle, it kind 1402 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 3: of you lose your ability to judge speed because it 1403 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 3: doesn't have it doesn't feel the same as a nice vehicle. 1404 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:49,080 Speaker 3: She gon't bit fast lots of times, so before she 1405 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,920 Speaker 3: knew it, she'd got a hundred demerit fluids. Now that's 1406 01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 3: what I expect from a gang member or a twenty 1407 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 3: one year old boy racer, not a former mayor of 1408 01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,919 Speaker 3: Wellington who is a very nice woman and and moves 1409 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 3: around in polite society. Anyway, The Ambulance Association is not 1410 01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 3: impressed with us at all. They are very angry. The head, 1411 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,640 Speaker 3: Mark Quinn, has told The Herald he wants Kerry to 1412 01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 3: resign as the chair of Wellington Free Ambulance. He says 1413 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,640 Speaker 3: it's not a good look. She has to resign from 1414 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,400 Speaker 3: her position. The organization's code of conduct requires staff to 1415 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:24,000 Speaker 3: follow the law and disclose pending all recent driving offenses. 1416 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 3: Well now she's disclosed it, so she's done that. But 1417 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,960 Speaker 3: also settle down. Can I say this to the Ambulance Association, 1418 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 3: go and find something else to do with your time, 1419 01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 3: because there's plenty of stuff for you to be doing 1420 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 3: with your time right now. We're not really through our 1421 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,480 Speaker 3: little health crisis, are we. People are dying all the 1422 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,480 Speaker 3: time waiting for ambulances, So sort that out. Stop worrying 1423 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,840 Speaker 3: about Kerrie Wellington free ambulance. Frankly, I think is lucky 1424 01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,760 Speaker 3: to have her because she's she's got that thing that 1425 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 3: a lot of working mothers have, because they don't really 1426 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 3: brook crap like you turn up to them like nope, 1427 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,240 Speaker 3: you know, she's got this. She's like, she's a sterely 1428 01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 3: lady but also quite smart. All obviously they generally go 1429 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:02,040 Speaker 3: together anyway. Also, it's speeding, like, it's not a crime 1430 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,440 Speaker 3: of violence, is it's not a crime of fraud of deception. 1431 01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 3: It's just speeding. In fact, I would suggest to Mark 1432 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,320 Speaker 3: Quinn that if he's short of an ambulance driver, I 1433 01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 3: know someone who can get you from A to Z 1434 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 3: real fast. Garry Brendergast, let's talk about fuel next. 1435 01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 2: Keeping track of where the money is flowing. 1436 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,200 Speaker 1: The business hour with head the duplicy al and MAS 1437 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 1: Insurance and Investments. 1438 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 2: Your future is in good hands u storg zb. 1439 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 3: Even in coming up in the next hour, we have 1440 01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,560 Speaker 3: Jeremy Harton of Milford Asset Management on how the NZX 1441 01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,040 Speaker 3: is tracking at the moment gnative Strainey and then we 1442 01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 3: have k Oliver out of the UK.

The numbers for the day Enzedex 1445 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,919 Speaker 3: fifty up is up one point seventy nine percent today. 1446 01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,640 Speaker 3: The top performers of the Waistcoat group and pay Source 1447 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 3: ASX fifty up one point four to four percent so far. Today, 1448 01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 3: a barrel of Brent crude now costs ninety nine US dollars, 1449 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 3: that's down five percent, and one New Zealand dollar is 1450 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 3: worth fifty eight US cents, eighty three Australian cents, fifty 1451 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 3: euros and forty three UK pens and of course ninety 1452 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 3: two yen as well. Now let's go to what is 1453 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 3: going on with the fuel situation. We have just two 1454 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 3: ships with fuel on board due to arrive in the 1455 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 3: next fortnight. Our stocks are starting to diminish by the 1456 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 3: looks of things. We're about We're down about ten percent 1457 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,760 Speaker 3: in the last two weeks. The government's latest update shows 1458 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 3: that on average we have forty eight point nine, let's say, 1459 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,879 Speaker 3: forty nine days cover of petrol Starboard Maritime intelligence analyst 1460 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:35,640 Speaker 3: Mark Douglas has a look at what's going on on 1461 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 3: the water and he's with us now, Hi, Mark, Hey, 1462 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,720 Speaker 3: how optimistic are you about what we've got? 1463 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,599 Speaker 25: It appears are more optimistic than the government because we've 1464 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,760 Speaker 25: been looking at the numbers of tankers coming to New 1465 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,360 Speaker 25: Zealand and I can count eight on the way, so 1466 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,719 Speaker 25: that's more than what the government's counting. Although the difference 1467 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,200 Speaker 25: is probably the government's only county guaranteed cargoes. We're the 1468 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,840 Speaker 25: ones that are. The other six are saying that they're 1469 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:00,639 Speaker 25: coming to New Zealand. But with the way the global 1470 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 25: fuel market is, there's a chance that somebody else could 1471 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 25: snap it up. 1472 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 3: How do we know which ones are guaranteed in which aren't. 1473 01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:10,320 Speaker 25: So the ones that the government are saying are guaranteed, 1474 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 25: I am taking it as they are guaranteed. The other 1475 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 25: six because that they are sold on the water and 1476 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,479 Speaker 25: they can be sold again on the water. We're looking 1477 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 25: at them and keeping a very close eye to see 1478 01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:22,880 Speaker 25: if there's any hint that they're changing direction. 1479 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 3: Okay, so is it the case that they've been sold 1480 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 3: to us, but it is a possible. It's possible that 1481 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,160 Speaker 3: they may be resold at a higher price to somebody 1482 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:32,240 Speaker 3: else before they get to us. 1483 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,600 Speaker 25: I think they've been directed to come to us, but 1484 01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,600 Speaker 25: there's the possibility that they could get to sold to 1485 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:39,639 Speaker 25: someone else on the way. 1486 01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,679 Speaker 3: Has that happened so far since this around war has happened, 1487 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 3: has started not to New Zealand. 1488 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:48,839 Speaker 25: I've seen crude carriers changed directions, so we've seen vessels 1489 01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 25: that were due to go to ports in Southeast Asia 1490 01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,639 Speaker 25: redirected to refineries in India. But for product tankers coming 1491 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:57,360 Speaker 25: to New Zealand, No, we certainly haven't seen that. 1492 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,599 Speaker 3: Have we seen a slowdown in the frequency of tankers 1493 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 3: arriving here? 1494 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 25: So last the week that we're currently in, we've only 1495 01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,040 Speaker 25: seen one tanker arrive. That was we saw that coming 1496 01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 25: a couple of weeks ago. We had a glut of 1497 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 25: tankers come that first week, we had a slow down 1498 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,400 Speaker 25: in the week we're in now, and then next week 1499 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 25: we're seeing four, and then the week after we're seeing 1500 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,200 Speaker 25: another four. So certainly this week has been slower, but 1501 01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 25: the next two weeks are looking good. 1502 01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,000 Speaker 3: Okay, So no suggestion that there is any disruption to 1503 01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 3: what we would ordinarily expect to arrive. 1504 01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 25: No, we're keeping a very close eye to see what 1505 01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 25: the tankers that are coming to New Zealand are doing. 1506 01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,559 Speaker 25: But from what I can see, there is we had 1507 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:36,360 Speaker 25: a quick look. We think of it. There's about sixteen 1508 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,679 Speaker 25: days of fuel supply on the water coming to New Zealand, 1509 01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,599 Speaker 25: which is good for two weeks. Sixteen days of fuel supply, 1510 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:43,760 Speaker 25: so that will keep us going. 1511 01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,000 Speaker 3: Okay, Now, explain this to me because I get texts 1512 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 3: like this. This is from Ricky Hither I drive a 1513 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 3: fuel tanker. We've been under allocation for two weeks. I 1514 01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,880 Speaker 3: don't know where you're getting your info from. Several fuel 1515 01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,599 Speaker 3: terminals in the North Island are empty. 1516 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,960 Speaker 25: Okay. We keep a track of the things that are 1517 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 25: on the water. I don't know what's happening on the 1518 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 25: land ones, but certainly. 1519 01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,840 Speaker 3: Could that be certainly could that might be explained simply 1520 01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 3: by us perhaps buying because we're panicking at a higher 1521 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,280 Speaker 3: level that our consumption has gone up because we're stockpiling ourselves. 1522 01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 3: Is that possibly the excla. 1523 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 25: We heard that happen in West Australia very early on 1524 01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:18,640 Speaker 25: in the piece that everyone has gone to fill up 1525 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:23,000 Speaker 25: their car, and certainly people who've got fuel like fuel 1526 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,679 Speaker 25: bowsers at their workplace would have gone out and bought 1527 01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,559 Speaker 25: up fuel as quickly as they could to secure themselves 1528 01:11:28,600 --> 01:11:30,439 Speaker 25: against the supply. So certainly it could be a case 1529 01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,639 Speaker 25: of the fuels in New Zealand. It's just not where 1530 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 25: it normally is. 1531 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, now in is it oil? Watch the website? 1532 01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:37,760 Speaker 3: Do you rate it? 1533 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,559 Speaker 25: It is amazing what AI can do today in terms 1534 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,800 Speaker 25: of bringing together a whole bunch of information and putting 1535 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,599 Speaker 25: it on a very nice dashboard. I think we all 1536 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,360 Speaker 25: need to be very careful about where the information is 1537 01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:53,560 Speaker 25: coming from and what it's telling us. I think the 1538 01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:55,640 Speaker 25: NBA and the government are doing a great job of 1539 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,560 Speaker 25: telling us as much as they can be certain of, 1540 01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 25: and we can see a lot. We just have to 1541 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,400 Speaker 25: be very careful when we see dashboards and other things 1542 01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,120 Speaker 25: like that appearing to dive very deep into it and 1543 01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:06,160 Speaker 25: to check what we're seeing. 1544 01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 3: Mark, is that your very diplomatic and polite way of 1545 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 3: saying that this is just a rubbish website. Don't give 1546 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 3: it any attention. 1547 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,640 Speaker 25: I haven't dug it enough to call it rubbish, but 1548 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,160 Speaker 25: I would certainly advise that people don't rush out and 1549 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:20,919 Speaker 25: buy fuel based on what's on that website. 1550 01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:24,839 Speaker 3: Mark, thanks very much, appreciate your time as always, Mark Douglas, 1551 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:30,719 Speaker 3: Starboard Maritime Intelligence. Twelve past six Ever Allen Paul Conway, 1552 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank Chief Economist has given a speech in which 1553 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 3: he said, really, what is obvious to us Allan is 1554 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 3: kind of what I alluded to it just before the 1555 01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,439 Speaker 3: half past news. Things are expensive in this country. New 1556 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,840 Speaker 3: Zealand is on average a very expensive country, and things 1557 01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 3: have got more expensive since the pandemic, largely thanks to inflation. 1558 01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:51,800 Speaker 3: But there was something in what he said which I 1559 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 3: thought was quite interesting. He's talking about real per capita 1560 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 3: income in New Zealand. He says it's below the OECD average, 1561 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,040 Speaker 3: and that it had been about eighty percent of the 1562 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:04,920 Speaker 3: OECD average until the mid noughties, and then it started 1563 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,719 Speaker 3: increasing and by twenty twenty we got to about ninety 1564 01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,560 Speaker 3: five percent, actually slightly more than ninety five percent of 1565 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 3: the OECD average only six years ago. Now that will 1566 01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 3: most likely be the China FDA because that's the thing 1567 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,800 Speaker 3: that really drove our economic growth from the point that 1568 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,519 Speaker 3: it was signed in the late naughties. Then he said, 1569 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,360 Speaker 3: since twenty twenty, real income in New Zealand has fallen 1570 01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:32,800 Speaker 3: back to around ninety percent of the OECD average. Now, 1571 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but going from eighty percent 1572 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,920 Speaker 3: is pathetic. But ninety five percent I thought was actually pretty. 1573 01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:41,599 Speaker 3: It was not bad, I thought. And then falling back 1574 01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,519 Speaker 3: to ninety percent not great. I mean I'd like to 1575 01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,280 Speaker 3: be above the OECD average, obviously, wouldn't you. But we're 1576 01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 3: not that far off. So I took a little bit 1577 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:50,960 Speaker 3: of heart from that. I thought, the climb up to 1578 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 3: get around where everybody else is it would not be 1579 01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:56,879 Speaker 3: that hard.

Seventeen past six Now Jeremy Hautton Milford Asset 1605 01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 3: Management is with us hig Jeremy, good evening, Heather Now. 1606 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 3: INSIDEX has had a bit of a tough month, obviously, 1607 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,120 Speaker 3: so have other markets around the globe. How has it 1608 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:17,840 Speaker 3: been holding up. 1609 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,760 Speaker 26: Yeah, it has been extremely choppy and volatile month and 1610 01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:25,840 Speaker 26: financial markets and everyone's sort of trying to guess the 1611 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,559 Speaker 26: next news flow coming out around the world. But yeah, 1612 01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:32,439 Speaker 26: O inzid X, it's down six percent so far in March. 1613 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:34,519 Speaker 26: That I would add today it had a really good 1614 01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 26: bounce back on some of that leaked ceasefire report, so 1615 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:40,680 Speaker 26: it has been actually done a lot more than that 1616 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 26: six percent. But you have been slightly more insulated than 1617 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,880 Speaker 26: our peer markets and in the Australian market down over 1618 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:50,040 Speaker 26: seven percent, European and Asian markets down between eight and ten, 1619 01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:53,360 Speaker 26: so they've been hit relatively harder. And the US markets, 1620 01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,479 Speaker 26: of course have been a little bit more insulated, down 1621 01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 26: only three or four percent. It does make sense, you know, 1622 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,800 Speaker 26: the US, they've got the energy independence, so they are 1623 01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,479 Speaker 26: a little bit more insulated. And I suppose we don't 1624 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,599 Speaker 26: have any really direct message direct exposure to the Middle East. 1625 01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:10,960 Speaker 26: But you know, there are a few second order effects 1626 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 26: under come through that are worth touching on for New Zealand. 1627 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, those second order effects, they I mean, they have 1628 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,519 Speaker 3: the potential to halt our fragile economic recovery, don't they. 1629 01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:22,920 Speaker 26: Yeah, that's right, and it hasn't come at a great 1630 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 26: time for our economic recovery. I mean we've obviously been 1631 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,920 Speaker 26: trying to get off the canvas after a tough few years, 1632 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,760 Speaker 26: and you know there has been a bit of a 1633 01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 26: downturn and sentiment. I mean obviously driven by this oil 1634 01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 26: price spike. It is another tax or another cost and 1635 01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:43,000 Speaker 26: post on New Zealand consumers and businesses. And obviously the 1636 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 26: next effect is that short term inflation and are we 1637 01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,760 Speaker 26: going to get increased prices? Will it lower growth and 1638 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 26: could it lower earnings for companies? So potentially a bit 1639 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 26: of a nasty stakeflation or environment that markets or financial 1640 01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 26: markets really don't like, and in fact no one really 1641 01:16:58,560 --> 01:16:59,000 Speaker 26: likes it all. 1642 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 3: How are you seeing the situation through the different sectors 1643 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 3: on the inxet ex this month? 1644 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,599 Speaker 26: Yeah, firstly, you know, the hardest hit sectors being tourism 1645 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 26: and travel adjacent businesses, So companies like in New Zealand, 1646 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,599 Speaker 26: Tourism Holdings and Circo. I mean, they're all understandable given 1647 01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,840 Speaker 26: just some of the travel disruption we're seeing around the globe, 1648 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:21,680 Speaker 26: and all of those shares were off a considerable over 1649 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,519 Speaker 26: twenty percent this month. And then companies that use a 1650 01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 26: lot of fuel as well, So Courier Business Freightways and 1651 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,639 Speaker 26: their main freight two they're both down over double digits. 1652 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,960 Speaker 26: So yes, those companies are really at the pointy end 1653 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 26: of the fuel crisis at the moment. 1654 01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:37,960 Speaker 3: And look, do you think that the highest short term 1655 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,400 Speaker 3: interest rates from the oil inflation are affecting us as well? 1656 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 26: Yeah, this is some of the second order effects that 1657 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 26: potentially can come through with those higher short term rates 1658 01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:50,720 Speaker 26: and oil inflation. I mean, we're seeing some of the 1659 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,439 Speaker 26: cyclical stocks in our economy, which we're anticipating a bit 1660 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 26: of a rebound this year, getting hit building materials companies 1661 01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,200 Speaker 26: like Vulcan Steel and Fletcher Building. Investors are thinking, you know, 1662 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,680 Speaker 26: maybe the construction market might slow down a little bit. 1663 01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 26: Retirement sectors such as Ryman in Somerset, I'm in higher 1664 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,519 Speaker 26: interest rates and they're good good for the housing market. 1665 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,360 Speaker 26: And then Catman dou I mean they announced today that 1666 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,479 Speaker 26: they're going to perform a capital raise this week, So 1667 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,240 Speaker 26: you know, I would expect a bit more weakness also 1668 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,960 Speaker 26: in the retail sector, particularly if consumers are just spending 1669 01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:23,639 Speaker 26: a lot less money. 1670 01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:25,400 Speaker 3: Where have been the places to hide? Do you reckon 1671 01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:26,360 Speaker 3: in the new Zealand market. 1672 01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 26: Yeah, channel infrastructure to know on surprise, given the given 1673 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,080 Speaker 26: the media attention around them, they're our fuel input terminal. 1674 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 26: The financial markets are giving them a bit of a benefit. 1675 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,560 Speaker 26: I mean they're thinking that potentially a bit more resilience 1676 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,960 Speaker 26: and fuel storage will be coming in at that site 1677 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,760 Speaker 26: post of this. And then Fonterra and Turner's Automotive, I 1678 01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 26: mean they both upgraded their earnings forecast this week, so 1679 01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,639 Speaker 26: the market's put them in the green for the month. 1680 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,120 Speaker 26: So you know, the market is still rewarding those companies 1681 01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:58,880 Speaker 26: that are putting some good earnings results through. 1682 01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:01,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, good Stuffjeremy, always good to talk to you. Jeremy Hutton, 1683 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 3: Milford Asset Management, speaking of petrol just before Gisbon is 1684 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,920 Speaker 3: complaining their couple of gas stations have run out of 1685 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,600 Speaker 3: ninety one this afternoon. So the Z station on Gladstone 1686 01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 3: Road that's run out in the pack and Save also 1687 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 3: out of the ninety one twenty one past. 1688 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 1: Everything from SMEs to the big corporates. The business hour 1689 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:24,680 Speaker 1: with Header Duper c Allen and Mass Insurance and Investments, 1690 01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:26,719 Speaker 1: your futures in good hands. 1691 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:27,960 Speaker 2: News talks'd be. 1692 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,080 Speaker 3: Whether there's no diesel in Cromwell from ZED Celtics or 1693 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:36,240 Speaker 3: NPD Jackie, thank you now yesterday. Help no. Let me 1694 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,880 Speaker 3: restart that it is not every day that I have 1695 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 3: a good news story for you that involves a council, 1696 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 3: and especially a council with the manafena with seats. But 1697 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 3: I've got a good news story for you on this. 1698 01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,320 Speaker 3: In the Cargo City Council's got two manafena with seats, right, 1699 01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 3: one is for the Ananga and the other one is 1700 01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 3: for the y Hawpye Runanga. So they each get one. 1701 01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,640 Speaker 3: Why Hawpie's decided cool going to go along with it. 1702 01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:01,479 Speaker 3: They got the that Mike Bain is going to be 1703 01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:03,840 Speaker 3: the representative, gone ahead with it. The other lot oh 1704 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,000 Speaker 3: have gone. Do you know what, we don't want our 1705 01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,040 Speaker 3: seat anymore. We want you to shut it down. They've 1706 01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,640 Speaker 3: decided that there are better ways for them to communicate 1707 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:14,559 Speaker 3: and collaborate with the council as required, and so they've 1708 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 3: said they're going to relinquish their right to have a 1709 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 3: man of fena with seat. This carries the savings to 1710 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,559 Speaker 3: the council because the council has decided just recently about 1711 01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,599 Speaker 3: like let's say six months ago, round about that about 1712 01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:27,960 Speaker 3: six months ago they decided to pay their man offena 1713 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 3: were representatives forty nine thousand dollars. So that's forty nine 1714 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,720 Speaker 3: thousand dollars they're saving for the rate payers. But hang 1715 01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 3: on a tick, hang on a tick? 1716 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:35,200 Speaker 2: Is it? 1717 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:36,120 Speaker 4: Is it? 1718 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:40,439 Speaker 3: The council is so disappointed that the local man Offenawa 1719 01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,639 Speaker 3: don't want to have their seat that they are going 1720 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:46,920 Speaker 3: to possibly accept a staff recommendation that rather than disestablishing 1721 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,480 Speaker 3: the council seat, they're going to put it in abeyance 1722 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,599 Speaker 3: so that in future it can be filled. Such as 1723 01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 3: the ideology at councils now, I mean, I just think 1724 01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 3: about how crazy this is they've made. They've literally created 1725 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 3: two seats to give to these two different runanga so 1726 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 3: that they can have collaboration and a voice at council. 1727 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 3: One of them's gone, we'd actually don't need it, We've 1728 01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:10,880 Speaker 3: got better ways of doing this, and they've gone, oh, 1729 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,240 Speaker 3: so disappointed that we're actually not going to shut this down. 1730 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:15,800 Speaker 3: We're hoping you're going to change your mind and so 1731 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,920 Speaker 3: that we can keep on spending for forty nine thousand 1732 01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,400 Speaker 3: dollars annually on you. How mental is that if people 1733 01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:23,360 Speaker 3: don't even want it? But Council wants to force it 1734 01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 3: down their throat. Anyway, Well done you Awarua love it 1735 01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 3: six twenty six. 1736 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,879 Speaker 2: There's no business like show business. 1737 01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:35,920 Speaker 3: Major AI generated video Sora, which is chat GPT's AI 1738 01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 3: video app, has just been shut down by open Ai. Now, 1739 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,400 Speaker 3: if you'd wondering what I'm talking about, think about you 1740 01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,439 Speaker 3: to see all those creepy little videos that you get 1741 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 3: on on online of a cat like cooking dinner for 1742 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,919 Speaker 3: its kitten, and it obviously never happened. That was probably 1743 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 3: created by SRA. But AI's just decided to shut the 1744 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:55,120 Speaker 3: thing down. They say it cost too much, copyright issues 1745 01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:56,760 Speaker 3: are a nightmare, and they put it in the two 1746 01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,920 Speaker 3: heart basket. But what makes us particularly interesting it's only 1747 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,679 Speaker 3: a few months ago that they signed this is open 1748 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:06,200 Speaker 3: Ai signed a deal with Disney worth a billion dollars 1749 01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:10,120 Speaker 3: that Disney agreed they would allow the license of its 1750 01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 3: of its stuff to be used by SAURA. So basically 1751 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:14,880 Speaker 3: what they wanted to do was that you could use 1752 01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,760 Speaker 3: Sora to generate any of the things that you wanted 1753 01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 3: to do involving Disney characters and Disney ip so Mickey 1754 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,360 Speaker 3: Mouse hanging out with iron Man, Alsa dating, buzz Light, 1755 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 3: you could do all of that stuff. This is, as 1756 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 3: I say, a major blow for AI generated video and 1757 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,040 Speaker 3: a bit of a setback for Disney because it was 1758 01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 3: banking on this tech to supercharge its streaming service. The 1759 01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,400 Speaker 3: question is now, what's gonna happen. Is Disney gonna pivot, 1760 01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,600 Speaker 3: They're gonna find some other way to bring AI to 1761 01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 3: Disney Plus or is AI content replacing the entire movie 1762 01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,960 Speaker 3: business just one of those ideas that is as stupid 1763 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:49,000 Speaker 3: in practice as it sounds on paper interesting development, wouldn't 1764 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,919 Speaker 3: you say? Genative? Traine is with us next. 1765 01:22:59,120 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 21: Call? 1766 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,920 Speaker 1: Ever, it's to do with money.

This is to 1772 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,639 Speaker 3: be expected, not not altogether welcome, but to be expected. 1773 01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,599 Speaker 3: Westpac has slashed what they're expecting forecast growth wise from 1774 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,839 Speaker 3: the economy for twenty twenty six. So they were previously 1775 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 3: picking that we would grow at two point eight percent. 1776 01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:46,759 Speaker 3: Now forecasting one point nine percent over twenty six. Obviously 1777 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,120 Speaker 3: because of the Iran war, are also penciled in a 1778 01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 3: zero point four percent fall and quarterly GDP in the 1779 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,560 Speaker 3: June quarter twenty four away from seven. There is a 1780 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 3: plan to potentially boost our fuel storage capacity. The Herald's 1781 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,760 Speaker 3: Wellington Business editor Genative Cheraney has been looking into this 1782 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 3: and is with us Hygiena. 1783 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:05,760 Speaker 27: Hi Heather. 1784 01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:07,680 Speaker 3: So this is a plan that seems to have been 1785 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,280 Speaker 3: pitched by Channel Infrastructure that the ones who run the 1786 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:14,000 Speaker 3: Marsden Point oil refinery now they want to potentially increase 1787 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,759 Speaker 3: their their capacity for storage. 1788 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,080 Speaker 28: Yeah, yeah, that's right. 1789 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,880 Speaker 27: Currently they have storage for about three hundred million liters 1790 01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,960 Speaker 27: of fuel, but they also have these tanks that are 1791 01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,960 Speaker 27: sitting there empty that could potentially hold another three hundred 1792 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,040 Speaker 27: and fifty million liters of fuel, so pretty much it 1793 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 27: could potentially double its storage capacity. The issue is, and 1794 01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 27: this is what Channel has been talking to the government about, 1795 01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 27: is that those empty tanks need to be refurbished and 1796 01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:49,839 Speaker 27: that would be a costly and a time consuming process. 1797 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:54,759 Speaker 27: But Channel has started talking to the government to update 1798 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:59,000 Speaker 27: them on well actually, if you know, if the situation arises, 1799 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 27: we could to you know, get those tanks in a 1800 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:07,120 Speaker 27: state so that they could could hold more fuel from 1801 01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,000 Speaker 27: what I can gather as it stands with the regulations 1802 01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:13,160 Speaker 27: and things in place at the moment, that process could 1803 01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,400 Speaker 27: take about a year to eighteen months. So that's not 1804 01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:20,560 Speaker 27: going to solve the problem here and now, but it 1805 01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:24,240 Speaker 27: seems like a worthy discussion to have, you know, should 1806 01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 27: we create more capacity to hold more fuel because at 1807 01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,280 Speaker 27: the moment, the way things run, it's pretty tight. 1808 01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,080 Speaker 3: Ye Does it sound like they want government funding? 1809 01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 27: So Channel hasn't directly asked for government funding, but it has, 1810 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 27: I guess in updating the government on where it's at 1811 01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,840 Speaker 27: and what it would cost to get these empty tanks refurbished. 1812 01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 27: You know, I'm sure it would welcome some government funding. 1813 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,240 Speaker 27: Shane jones A took term today, you know, and he's 1814 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,080 Speaker 27: across this. He said, he geny when we'll be genuinely 1815 01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 27: believed we needed more storage in New Zealand. But you know, 1816 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,880 Speaker 27: he needs to work with finance mister Nicola Willis on that. 1817 01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:10,479 Speaker 27: And I talked to Nicola Willis and she was pretty 1818 01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 27: hesitant to suggest the government was prepared to fork out 1819 01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,599 Speaker 27: to help refurbish these tanks. You know, she said, well, 1820 01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:19,800 Speaker 27: Channel is a commercial company, and you'd expect fuel importers 1821 01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 27: like z Energy and etc. To pay for the storage. 1822 01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,800 Speaker 27: That's currently how it works. But you know, I feel 1823 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 27: like this is a space to watch. And the other 1824 01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,920 Speaker 27: thing they're looking at is the regulations because as it 1825 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,080 Speaker 27: stands at the moment, you need like a bunt, like 1826 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,000 Speaker 27: from what I can understand, it's like a big wall 1827 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 27: or something around the tanks to make sure the fuel 1828 01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,519 Speaker 27: doesn't leak. But building that is the problem. So you know, 1829 01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,080 Speaker 27: could they loosen up the rigs to get these tanks 1830 01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:47,120 Speaker 27: refurbished more quickly. 1831 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:49,679 Speaker 3: It's not like this is our only option, right because 1832 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,920 Speaker 3: when Methodex eventually shuts down, those tanks become available, don't they. 1833 01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 27: Yeah, yeah, Now that's another thing that Shane Jones said 1834 01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:02,000 Speaker 27: he took to the Port Tuttanuki CEO about there could 1835 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:07,760 Speaker 27: be some storage capacity there. So you know, officials are 1836 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:11,320 Speaker 27: looking at this as well. From MB they're advising ministers. 1837 01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:13,839 Speaker 27: It seems like there are a lot of public servants 1838 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 27: running around talking to industry trying to you know, get 1839 01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,760 Speaker 27: their heads around the levers that can be pulled. So 1840 01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,759 Speaker 27: this might be something that needs to be fixed. Looking 1841 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 27: further down the track. It's hard to see, you know, 1842 01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 27: it's hard to see these these tanks getting refurbished quickly. 1843 01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:34,840 Speaker 27: But you know, who knows how long this whole thing 1844 01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:35,719 Speaker 27: is going to drag. 1845 01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,720 Speaker 3: On for To know, thank you was always really appreciate it. 1846 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:37,920 Speaker 2: Joe. 1847 01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,200 Speaker 3: We'll talk to you next week. Janetib Cherney, The Herald's 1848 01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,599 Speaker 3: Wellington Business editor. Look, can I just say I hope 1849 01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,880 Speaker 3: the government doesn't put money into this. I cannot tell 1850 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:48,599 Speaker 3: you how irritated I get, as every taxpayer should, by 1851 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:51,559 Speaker 3: corporate welfare, by the government having to bail out these 1852 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,880 Speaker 3: private enterprises that frankly are able to pay for this stuff. 1853 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:58,000 Speaker 3: And so it's just come on a bad day. It's 1854 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,320 Speaker 3: come on a bad day because just this morning I 1855 01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:04,080 Speaker 3: was reading about Rio Tinto, our mates from down South 1856 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,240 Speaker 3: with the aluminium smelter. How many times did Rio Tinto 1857 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:08,800 Speaker 3: come to us that we're going to shout down, Oh 1858 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 3: we need a government bailout, Oh we need the government money. 1859 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,240 Speaker 3: Guess what stunt they've just pulled in Australia. That's right, 1860 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,800 Speaker 3: two billion Australian dollars in taxpayer subsidies to secure the 1861 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:21,639 Speaker 3: long term future of its aluminium smelter in North Queensland. 1862 01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:23,599 Speaker 3: When are we going to learn twenty away from. 1863 01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 2: Seven Heather Duel. 1864 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:27,840 Speaker 3: They've got an update for you on old tape face 1865 01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,920 Speaker 3: the duneedan city councilor who taped his face for some protests. 1866 01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:33,200 Speaker 3: I can't even remember what the protest was. And when 1867 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,040 Speaker 3: people can't remember what the protest was, it's a bit 1868 01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,680 Speaker 3: of a problem. Anyway. His name is Benedict Ong. He's 1869 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:39,599 Speaker 3: a new counselor. He hasn't been there all that long, 1870 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:42,000 Speaker 3: so what has he been there? Six months something like that. 1871 01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,640 Speaker 3: Were the council elections only six months ago? Weren't they? 1872 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:49,720 Speaker 3: I think they were anyway, So they had council held 1873 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 3: a meeting today to discuss his recent alleged bad behavior 1874 01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,360 Speaker 3: and a report that the commission from a lawyer. They've 1875 01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:58,479 Speaker 3: got a lawyer in Wellington, Steph Diaiberg, to look into 1876 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,840 Speaker 3: his behavior and write a report. Was late to the 1877 01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,760 Speaker 3: meeting and then he was asked everybody a little bit 1878 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 3: of a chat, and then they asked Bendedett, would you 1879 01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:07,800 Speaker 3: like to say something about the report? And he said replied, 1880 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,760 Speaker 3: I certainly do, and then he read a passage from 1881 01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,640 Speaker 3: the book The Trial by Kavka, which is about a 1882 01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:16,680 Speaker 3: man who's arrested and prosecuted for a crime, but he 1883 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,280 Speaker 3: doesn't know what the crime is himself. 1884 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:20,200 Speaker 8: Logic is of. 1885 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 13: Course unshakable, but it cannot pour out against. 1886 01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,479 Speaker 24: A man who wants to live. 1887 01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:30,000 Speaker 2: Where was the judge? 1888 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,200 Speaker 24: He had never seen? 1889 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 2: Where was the high thought? He had never reached. 1890 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:39,000 Speaker 3: What you can't see by just listening to it is 1891 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,639 Speaker 3: the dramatic, the flourish, the dramatic hands. He's got drunk, 1892 01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,360 Speaker 3: he's got theater hands. Like that hand is doing a 1893 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,880 Speaker 3: lot of the work for him, just flourishing away in 1894 01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,760 Speaker 3: the air. Anyway, after his book reading, the mayor said 1895 01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:52,400 Speaker 3: you should resign. 1896 01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:52,600 Speaker 2: Now. 1897 01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,080 Speaker 3: He didn't want to resign. He was stripped of his 1898 01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:57,640 Speaker 3: extra rolls and portfolio, but he did not believe that 1899 01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,879 Speaker 3: he should apologize. He thinks he's owed an apology. 1900 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:03,719 Speaker 29: Others, why would I even consider that, because very simply 1901 01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:07,840 Speaker 29: I have been elected. I am a contractor for the 1902 01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,519 Speaker 29: next two and a half years to serve at the 1903 01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 29: pleasure of our community.

It's two 1921 01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,920 Speaker 3: dollars per twenty foot and three thousand dollars per forty foot. 1922 01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:06,800 Speaker 3: And this has included our container which left Egypt on 1923 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:10,760 Speaker 3: January the first and was misshipped or it was transhipped 1924 01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:13,000 Speaker 3: as normal to Malaysia well before the war started in 1925 01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,160 Speaker 3: that ship when the war hat starter was in Japan. 1926 01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 3: Not affected at all, but CMA's Shipping think it's okay 1927 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,360 Speaker 3: to retrospectively add this kind of terrif on world shipping prices. 1928 01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:23,040 Speaker 3: That's from Dave Geez. I'd feel I'd be honest, I'd 1929 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 3: be I'd be a little bit grumpy, I think on 1930 01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,719 Speaker 3: the scale of like on the scale, i'd be grumpied 1931 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:31,320 Speaker 3: to ropeable somewhere on somewhere around there. Fourteen away from 1932 01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:36,240 Speaker 3: seven k Oliver UK correspondents with us. Hell Okay, hello, hell, 1933 01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 3: So what's going on with petrol with you guys? Well, 1934 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:39,960 Speaker 3: you've just. 1935 01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:43,120 Speaker 28: Said about people putting prices up for the containers and 1936 01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:48,000 Speaker 28: basically we are seeing a ten percent petrol increase unloaded, 1937 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:52,000 Speaker 28: twenty percent diesel. I did a quick survey one pounds 1938 01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:56,680 Speaker 28: forty nine elite unloaded, one eighty nine for diesel. It 1939 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:59,559 Speaker 28: does seem that these prices are going through the roof. 1940 01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,760 Speaker 28: They've had meetings in Parliament, big discussions, and they're keen 1941 01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,599 Speaker 28: to stop profiteering at the petrol pumps. 1942 01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:06,120 Speaker 18: Now. 1943 01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:08,320 Speaker 28: This means they're going to give new powers to the 1944 01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:13,599 Speaker 28: Compliance and Marketing Agency and they also want new anti 1945 01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:18,519 Speaker 28: profiteering legislation. The feeling here is that the stocks were 1946 01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 28: already here, but these prices are being pumped up. There 1947 01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:25,040 Speaker 28: are going to be meetings with banks and supermarkets. I 1948 01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:28,040 Speaker 28: will say that a quick survey I've done, the supermarket 1949 01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 28: pricing is much cheaper than if you go to the 1950 01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:36,120 Speaker 28: major suppliers. But however, people are definitely beginning to feel 1951 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 28: the pinch. There aren't any queues at the petrol pumps 1952 01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:40,680 Speaker 28: that I've been able to see, and I did a 1953 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,680 Speaker 28: little quick survey yesterday, but there's certainly people filling up 1954 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,840 Speaker 28: and not letting their fuel run out. So that's the 1955 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:52,160 Speaker 28: advice here. They're also talking about slowing down, adjusting the 1956 01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:55,040 Speaker 28: speed limits from fifty to forty miles an hour on 1957 01:32:55,160 --> 01:33:00,679 Speaker 28: some roads, working from home and cycling again, lots going 1958 01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,320 Speaker 28: on here, Heather, with these petrol prices, but they're keen 1959 01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:05,840 Speaker 28: to stop price gouging. 1960 01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,000 Speaker 3: So is your government looking at doing something similar to 1961 01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:10,880 Speaker 3: what ours has done and rolling out some support for 1962 01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:12,519 Speaker 3: people who are struggling to pay the bills? 1963 01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:17,800 Speaker 28: Well, big meeting is again. Chancellor Rachel Reeves has stood 1964 01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:21,160 Speaker 28: up and said that most the people who are most 1965 01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:25,880 Speaker 28: in need will be helped if these energy prices continue 1966 01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:30,160 Speaker 28: to spiral, which basically means that middle earners high earners 1967 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 28: won't be getting the help. She stressed that she's keen 1968 01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:37,800 Speaker 28: not to repeat here what happened in twenty twenty two 1969 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:40,400 Speaker 28: when Liz Trust was in government and there was a 1970 01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:44,720 Speaker 28: Russian invasion of of Ukraine and there was basically a 1971 01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:48,240 Speaker 28: guarantee on prices that she said yesterday in the House 1972 01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,360 Speaker 28: of Commons. They're still writing out the checks now for 1973 01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 28: something that happened in twenty twenty two, and it actually 1974 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,320 Speaker 28: costs a UK government forty billion pounds to sort this out. 1975 01:33:58,439 --> 01:34:00,439 Speaker 28: So all we know is that with there is an 1976 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:05,840 Speaker 28: energy price cap here on gas electricity prices until July 1977 01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:09,639 Speaker 28: and then things could change. At the moment we're kind 1978 01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:12,240 Speaker 28: of locked into these fixed tariffs. We've also heard from 1979 01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,759 Speaker 28: the Energy Secretary Ed Millerband that he has got possible 1980 01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:20,240 Speaker 28: plans to decouple gas and electricity bills, so in other words, 1981 01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:23,360 Speaker 28: you'll pay separately for your electricity and for your gas. 1982 01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,679 Speaker 28: So they're you know, they're they're talking the talk, Heather, 1983 01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 28: Let's see what happens. 1984 01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,519 Speaker 3: Yeah too, right now, who's been hickeling and the King 1985 01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:32,840 Speaker 3: and the Queen, Well, it's this group again. 1986 01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:37,200 Speaker 28: They're believed to be Republic, the anti monarchist group, and 1987 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:40,120 Speaker 28: Charles and Camilla were on walk about at the Eden 1988 01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:44,160 Speaker 28: project in Cornwall to celebrate twenty five years, and again 1989 01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:48,320 Speaker 28: Andrew mount Batton Windsor's name came up and why are 1990 01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:52,040 Speaker 28: you still covering for him? Was the shout that went 1991 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:54,120 Speaker 28: out and in fact it was such a that it 1992 01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:55,960 Speaker 28: was a shell, but there was a lot of noise, 1993 01:34:56,040 --> 01:34:58,320 Speaker 28: Heather and basically I saw it on TV. They had 1994 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,840 Speaker 28: to kind of capture what was being said. But it's 1995 01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,360 Speaker 28: not going away for them, and the world's just ignore 1996 01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 28: these questions. But clearly William Charles, Kate Camilla they're going 1997 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:10,960 Speaker 28: to have to put up with this for quite some time. 1998 01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:13,519 Speaker 28: The commentators last night were saying it's never going to 1999 01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 28: go away. His kind of the hidden uncle in the 2000 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,360 Speaker 28: cupboard that's pulled out every time they do a role visit. 2001 01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,280 Speaker 3: That's embarrassing for them at Thank you very much, Kay 2002 01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:26,800 Speaker 3: appreciated as Kay Oliver, our UK correspondent. Evidently it is 2003 01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:30,720 Speaker 3: not all roses for the ev owners. So what has 2004 01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:36,240 Speaker 3: gone on? So I think, I mean, I've actually worried 2005 01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,519 Speaker 3: about this. I thought, Okay, cool, you're gonna get rid 2006 01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:39,960 Speaker 3: of the fossil fuels and you can go on the 2007 01:35:40,040 --> 01:35:43,080 Speaker 3: ev IS electricity particularly cheap at the moment, No it's not. 2008 01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:44,640 Speaker 3: So is this all together going to work for you? 2009 01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:48,240 Speaker 3: I had wondered anyway, some EV owners who are with Meridian. 2010 01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:51,280 Speaker 3: Meridian has an EV power Planet. It's a special plan 2011 01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,040 Speaker 3: for EV owners, and some of the owners who are 2012 01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:55,800 Speaker 3: on that plan are complaining that they've been told that 2013 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 3: from the first of May their prices are going to 2014 01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:01,760 Speaker 3: go up by more than fifty percent, which is significant. 2015 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:04,320 Speaker 3: Some of them are saying it's going to add hundreds 2016 01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:07,479 Speaker 3: to the monthly power bill. Now Meridian has confirmed that 2017 01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,599 Speaker 3: these prices are in fact changing. That's it's absolutely the case, 2018 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:13,240 Speaker 3: and they are doing what every single power company. And 2019 01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:14,840 Speaker 3: I'm not saying this is not fair or not, but 2020 01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 3: every single power company is doing this at the moment. 2021 01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:20,160 Speaker 3: Every power retailer blaming the increases on the lines and 2022 01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,280 Speaker 3: distribution networks over the last couple of years. Nine away 2023 01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:24,040 Speaker 3: from seven. 2024 01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:27,400 Speaker 1: It's the heather too for c Allen Drive Full Show 2025 01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:31,000 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk ZBI. 2026 01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:34,400 Speaker 3: Now, I'm going to tell you something that is possibly 2027 01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,960 Speaker 3: going to bum you out about easter. Easter, by the way, 2028 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:41,599 Speaker 3: is what like two weeks? What are you talking about 2029 01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:45,320 Speaker 3: two weeks? Isn't it next week? Aren't you counting it 2030 01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,519 Speaker 3: from Good Friday? That's next week, isn't it. 2031 01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:49,880 Speaker 7: Oh it's next week, a week and a halfway. I 2032 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:50,639 Speaker 7: was already Wednesday. 2033 01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:53,880 Speaker 3: Oh look at that nine days. It's exciting. I'm loving it. 2034 01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:55,920 Speaker 3: I'm not going to eat that many. I'm fat. I'm fat. 2035 01:36:56,120 --> 01:36:58,360 Speaker 3: I'm fat in my mind. I've got body just morphia. 2036 01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:00,680 Speaker 3: I'm fat huge. So I'm gonna give it all to 2037 01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:02,720 Speaker 3: the kids. But I'm pretty excited about it. Anyway, this 2038 01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:05,960 Speaker 3: is going to bum you out, Okay, So unfortunately you're 2039 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:11,240 Speaker 3: gonna get less Easter egg for the dollars. Over in Australia, 2040 01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,240 Speaker 3: they've got a consumer advocacy group that's done a bit 2041 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:15,439 Speaker 3: of a price comparison over the ditch, and I imagine 2042 01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:17,360 Speaker 3: if it's working like this over in Australia, it's going 2043 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,240 Speaker 3: to work the same over here. So they had a 2044 01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:24,120 Speaker 3: look at the lint bunnies. They are costing a third 2045 01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 3: more than last year. I did buy some the other 2046 01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:28,560 Speaker 3: day actually for a thing. I thought, jeez, that's a 2047 01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:33,120 Speaker 3: bit pricey. The Cadbury Hollow Eggs have almost doubled in 2048 01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:36,679 Speaker 3: their cost program since two Easters ago, so they also 2049 01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,200 Speaker 3: part of this is not just the straight out cost increase, 2050 01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:41,680 Speaker 3: it's the shrink flation. So what is going on? You know, 2051 01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:44,240 Speaker 3: you get those hollow egg boxes from Cadbury and it's 2052 01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:46,920 Speaker 3: full of well, as I said, full of hollow eggs. 2053 01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:50,560 Speaker 3: They have taken Cabrey, they've taken four eggs out and 2054 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:52,640 Speaker 3: I and then increase the price. Now I think that 2055 01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:54,720 Speaker 3: we're talking about the twenty four box here, so you 2056 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:56,719 Speaker 3: get the twenty four box which is now a twenty box. 2057 01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 3: So I think this is what they're looking at. And 2058 01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:00,519 Speaker 3: over in Australia it's gone from twelve to fifty to 2059 01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:03,960 Speaker 3: eighteen dollars. That's a lot more for four fewer eggs. 2060 01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,760 Speaker 3: And then you get the big Cadbury egg they've taken 2061 01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:09,320 Speaker 3: sixty grams out and they've added three dollars to the price. 2062 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:14,080 Speaker 3: So you know, just I don't know what's the life 2063 01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:15,920 Speaker 3: lesson in that they're ripping you off, but you still 2064 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:17,240 Speaker 3: want to have Easter, So I don't know what you 2065 01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:22,559 Speaker 3: do about it.
