Carl Bates. Tourist numbers are almost almost 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 2: back to pre COVID levels, tourism holdings on that. We've 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: got a couple of export stories for you. One is 10 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 2: bad because of the tariffs, the other one is great 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: because of Kiwi innovation. And then Mark Cuban. If you 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 2: haven't heard of this guy, you need to billionaire from 13 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: the States, thought about politics, loves rugby. He's with us after. 14 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: Eight Heather Duplicy Allen. 15 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: Right, So we will end the year with Parliament's public 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: gallery shut, which is disappointing because we find ourselves, unfortunately 17 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: at the end of this year almost exactly where we 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: were at the end of last year, dealing yet again 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: with disruption in Parliament. Now I need to say I 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: like Jerry Browne. In fact, I think most people who 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: have a drink with a guy end up really like 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: Jerry Brownly. And if he is still talking to me 23 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: after what I'm about to say, I would love to 24 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 2: ask him what it is that he was thinking when 25 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: he sat there in the Speaker's chair on Tuesday, just 26 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: watching the pro Palestinian protesters chanting and carrying on above 27 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: the MPs, and why he didn't get to his feet 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 2: like I'd imagine most previous speakers would have and issued 29 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: an instruction to clear the gallery immediately. It is quite 30 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: weird watching the video if you know how parliament works, 31 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: it's weird because Parliament is disrupted. All the MPs just 32 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: sit there looking at each other kind of helplessly, and 33 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: then the speaker camera cuts to the speaker speakers sort 34 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 2: of half smiling, sitting there, focusing on the chanting, focusing 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: on the people, as if he's almost trying to chat 36 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: tack to catch what it is that by saying like 37 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: he wants to understand it. And this goes on for 38 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: about four minutes. It's almost as if Jerry Browne in 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: this moment, has forgotten that he's the speaker and not 40 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: just another MP, and he can actually do something about it, 41 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: and then after which he just dismisses it as performative 42 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: art like loll. Now, these guys should not, under any circumstances, 43 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: have been allowed to go on for about four minutes. 44 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: They should have been tossed out immediately because they are 45 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: actually a risk to the MPs below them. They only 46 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: in this case threw down pamphlets. The problem is if 47 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 2: they throw down something else and it falls on an 48 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: MP's head and you don't need me to tell you 49 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: what happens then, and if there is a leason that 50 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: we've learned from the Maori Party hucker which happened around 51 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: about this time last year, it's that you crack down 52 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: immediately if you're the speaker, or you will simply get 53 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: other people aping it, like Brook van Valden, who after 54 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: the hacker then tried to get her own social media 55 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: attention by dropping the sea bomb in parliament. We've said 56 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: this a million times on this station.

So not being a 110 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 2: bit psycho at all. That is news of the world. 111 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: And thirty seconds? What am I talking about? Ninety seconds? 112 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I thought of thirty seconds. It's 113 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: because it turns out those guys who nicked all the 114 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: stuff from the loove got away from the cops with 115 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: only thirty seconds to spare. And it's because the security 116 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: cameras weren't all working. So what it meant is the 117 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: agents who were watching this all unfold in the security 118 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: room couldn't actually properly follow what was going on in 119 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: real time because I'd see somebody who then the next 120 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: security cameras often they couldn't quite follow it, And then 121 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: when the cops turned up, they were initially sent to 122 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: the wrong place. So if just one of those things 123 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 2: hadn't gone wrong, might have caught the bad guys.

There's the outlook. That 144 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 11: is all what tends to move markets. First rate meeting 145 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 11: of twenty five basis point cuds. They have got quite 146 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 11: a bit of competing stuff in the background. Despite what 147 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 11: President Trump says. There is inflation still is sitting a 148 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 11: little bit high for the Federal Reserve, and they've also 149 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 11: got risks to full employment as well. Look, the futures 150 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 11: market's still expecting this and three more cuts in the 151 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 11: US over the next twelve months. They've got a bit 152 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 11: of a similar issue in the US that we have here, 153 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 11: and that the Fed funds rate will pull down the 154 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 11: lower short term rates, but they've still got pressure on 155 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 11: their longer term rates. That's the funding pressure from the 156 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 11: very large funding deficit that the government is running. 157 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 12: But Heather, All will be revealed at eight o'clock. 158 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 11: You will be on air.

Look, annual migration is still pretty subdued. 165 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 11: Tourism though, I think is looking like a developing positive story. 166 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 11: And I think you're talking. You said you were talking 167 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 11: to someone later on about that. Look, migration numbers, they're 168 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 11: always provisional. We often get significant revisions over the ensuing months. 169 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 11: Provisional estimates for the October twenty five years a net 170 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 11: migration gain of eleven nine hundred people. By way of comparison, 171 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 11: the October twenty four years, a gain of over thirty 172 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 11: five thousand, and to try, there's masses of numbers in here, 173 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 11: so let's try and keep them sort of fairly simple 174 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 11: and eye level. Arrivals over the one hundred and thirty 175 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 11: six thousand, that's down ten percent, so few arrivals, but 176 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 11: departures are up seven percent one hundred and twenty four thousand, 177 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 11: so fewer people arriving, more people leaving. Now, Heather, our 178 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 11: household is doing it's best to reverse the brain train. 179 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 11: Kellerher junior two back this week for good after seven 180 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 11: and a half years away. But he's in the minority 181 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 11: because that's not really happening. But he's also accompanied by 182 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 11: new imports, and we've got two for one. 183 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 12: Deal going on the air for the news and government. 184 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 11: But look, by way of comparison, if I look at 185 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 11: this bigger picture, annual migrant arrivals peaked it's two hundred 186 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 11: and thirty five thousand, it's now at one hundred and 187 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 11: thirty six An annual net migration peaked at one hundred 188 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 11: and thirty six thousand netgay that was in the October 189 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 11: twenty three year. So this is a very speedy and 190 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 11: reasonably precipitous decline if you think think about that's only 191 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 11: two years ago, from one hundred and thirty thousand to 192 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 11: twelve thousand. Looking at a very granular level for the month, 193 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 11: the monthly provisional number two and a half thousand. 194 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 12: Or two thousand and four hundred. 195 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 11: That will change, but at this point it's the strongest 196 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 11: monthly increase in eighteen months. 197 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 12: So look, is the momentum shifting. I think you've got 198 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 12: to ask that question. 199 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 11: It's a result of a sharper recent fall and departures 200 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 11: they're down seven and a half percent and arrivals relatively stable. 201 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 11: It does look to me like there is a small 202 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 11: uptick in the numbers. We've still got to think about revisions. 203 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 11: The long term average if you go to pre COVID 204 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 11: was plus just under twenty nine twenty eight thousand, six hundred. 205 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 11: Just looking at composition of the migrant arrivals, the largest 206 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 11: group of citizens it's actually returning New Zealanders, but it's 207 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 11: followed by citizens from India and China. For look at 208 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 11: it over the year. Key sources of migrants coming in India, China, 209 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 11: Philippines and Sri Lanka. Of course, low levels of migration 210 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 11: weigh on growth because historically we've been hoarded people and 211 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 11: they eat and they've got to live somewhere, and that's 212 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 11: that's contributed to growth. 213 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 12: Historically we don't have that. 214 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 11: But yeah, tourism for the October twenty five October twenty five, 215 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 11: three hundred and three thousand people came in. That's above 216 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 11: the long term average for the year three point four 217 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 11: to five million. That's also above the long term average. 218 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 12: Of two point seven one million. 219 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 11: They're at the highest levels we've seen them in five 220 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 11: and a half years. 221 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 12: That's good stuff. 222 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: Right, I reckon, Andrew, have you got a wager to 223 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 2: collect from hosting? 224 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 225 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 12: Now what's this all about? 226 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 11: He's gone off away on holiday and. 227 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 12: My bet, where's my bet? We've got to go to 228 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 12: a restaurant. 229 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 11: You're an inner city doyen of the inner city restaurant scene, 230 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 11: aren't you? 231 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: Where should we go for me to collect this debt 232 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: bay standard? Because you know, I mean, part of that, 233 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: part of the humiliation is making him come to you. 234 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 11: Ah, what do you record my chances are of that? 235 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 12: What do you? 236 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 6: Reckon? 237 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 12: My I just want to get the bet. I just 238 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 12: want to get him to pay up. 239 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 11: So I'm prepared to move for him to pay the bill, 240 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 11: but I need a good restaurant recommendations. Do we get 241 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 11: some problem that perhaps perhaps the text machine could get going, Yeah. 242 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: I reckon. I mean, if the text machine can find 243 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: anybody there, I reckon. Amro's always hard to beat. So 244 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: if there's any anything better than the Mano, they have 245 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: to let us know, right, give us the numbers. 246 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 11: Sure, the Dow Jones is up two hundred points zero 247 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 11: point four two percent, forty seven thousand, seven hundred and 248 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 11: sixty one, the S and P five hundred and six, 249 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 11: eight four five. 250 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 12: That's up five points. 251 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 11: And then there's that down seventy five points as we 252 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 11: look at it, point three percent. 253 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 12: Twenty three thousand, five hundred and. 254 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 11: One forty one hundred up point one six percent overnight. 255 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 11: The nick A down point one, the forty two, one 256 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 11: hundred and ninety six five eight, the NIK fifty thousand, 257 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 11: six hundred and two, Shanghai Composite down just under quarter 258 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 11: of a percent three nine zero zero.

Paul Painter as the general manager of 342 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: Yummy Fruit and with Us, Morning Paul, Good Morning Paul. 343 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: Was this a tough decision or was this something that 344 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: you could see coming for a while. 345 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 16: No, not a tough decision at all. Basically, if they 346 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 16: want to charge your ten percent tariff and you can 347 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 16: sell it somewhere else, it's what you'll do. So apple 348 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 16: exports to the US have fallen about thirty percent in 349 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 16: the last two years. How I think the tariffs are 350 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 16: probably a big part of that. 351 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean is the tariff's the straw that broke 352 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: the camel's back, because it looks like there are other 353 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: issues going on there as well, like oversupply, and therefore 354 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: you know, lower profits are lower lower prices. 355 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 16: Oh, you're well informed. Yes, Wall Street's taken over the 356 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 16: apple growing business. I always say when the big city 357 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 16: money's in farming, the end is nigh. But that's what's happened. 358 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 16: So they've parted a lot of new apples and the 359 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 16: market's a bit a bit depressed, a little bit oversupplied, 360 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 16: and so they slap the tariff on our products in 361 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 16: terms of apples, but in terms of things like beef, 362 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 16: where they're short and the prices are high and the 363 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 16: consumers using the taft disappears. 364 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: Now, where are you going to send your fruit instead? 365 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 16: Well, that's a good question. Well, if it's a sweet apple, 366 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 16: you've probably set it off to two asias somewhere in 367 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 16: China obviously being the biggest market. But the challenges if 368 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 16: it's a tart apple, like a brayburn. In the US 369 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 16: through the Northeast and Midwest, you've got the Scandinavian, Polish, German, 370 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 16: Irish people that like a bit of a tart apple, 371 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 16: and the Chinese certainly don't. So it is a predicament. 372 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 16: But what we're seeing is a real drop and those. 373 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 17: The production of those tart apples. 374 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 16: So Braby used to be the biggest shipped applet in 375 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 16: New Zealand and I think now it's down to about 376 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 16: five percent of export. 377 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 6: Now. 378 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: I love the tart apples. What about you? 379 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 16: Oh yeah, I love them too, But you're the white girl. 380 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 16: I'm a what you're the white girl? 381 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I'm one hundred percent of Irish stock 382 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, So you know, it's genetic. 383 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: It's mate Kunger. Basically it is if the tariffs are gone, right, 384 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: if Trump changes his mind, which is not unheard of, 385 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 2: will you resume the exports? Will stick with the new markets? 386 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 16: Oh, it's still a tough market. I will ship some 387 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 16: to the US if the tariffs were there, But it's 388 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 16: definitely a fading light for New Zealand way while places 389 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 16: like China are booming. 390 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what's next years harvest? Looking like as I'm hearing, 391 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: it's pretty good? 392 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 16: Oh, unbelievable. Had the warmest spring I can ever remember. 393 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 16: So fruit size is big, not a lot of frosts, 394 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 16: really clean fruit where it's absolutely perfect. So you know 395 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 16: we're sick in here in a row. We're having your 396 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 16: wonderful production season.

Tell you what it is. I reckon 400 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: and I'm just making this up on the spot because 401 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: I haven't actually spent a great deal of time thinking 402 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: about this, but I reckon the benefit of the tart 403 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: apple over the sweet apples. The tart apple is quite 404 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 2: a tidy snack. So you eat it and you end 405 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: up you can, like you if you're prepared to go 406 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: core and all, which is what I'm into.

But 410 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 2: you eat yourself one of those sweet apples, and you've 411 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 2: got sticky hands because they seem to This is just 412 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just I'm reaching back into the recesses 413 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 2: of my mind, but I feel like the sweet apples 414 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: are juicy, are kind of sticky, messier thing, which is 415 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: like not really what you want out. 416 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 6: Of an apple. 417 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: You eat the core, absolutely, I eat the core. Don't 418 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 2: you eat the core? 419 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 18: Not the seeds, I hope. 420 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, the seeds, Yeah, just swallow them, swallow them home. 421 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 18: You know that's what they make IDT. 422 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I also know that they come encased in 423 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: their own little protective barrier. It's like a little seed condom, 424 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 2: isn't it, and you pop that, don't worry about it, just. 425 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 18: So you eat the seed condom. Really making it sound epotatic. 426 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 2: It's a a bit of fire before year, which you need. 427 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: I don't know that the Reserve Bank governor did enough 428 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: yesterday to talk down the wholesale interest rates. We were 429 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: looking for this because of course this was everybody who's like, 430 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 2: this was your first chance. Can you talk it down 431 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: because the wholesale rates are going up? Westpac pushed it up. 432 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: She basically said, look, we might cut some more next year, 433 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: but didn't sound super convincing, didn't tell the markets off 434 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 2: for overreacting. So I don't think that there are a 435 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 2: lot of lines to read between there it's got to 436 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 2: Italy next nineteen away from seven the. 437 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, card By 438 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: News Talks EPI. 439 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 2: Hey, if you ever ever wanted a kitchen that looks, 440 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: feels truly yours, then you do it.

He's been doing the 469 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 15: circuit in Europe. He met Prime Minister Kirs Starmer, French 470 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 15: President Emmanuel mccrol and the German Chancellor of Frederic Mertz 471 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 15: earlier this week, and of course a meeting with Georgia. 472 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 2: Maloney in Rome was next on the agenda. 473 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 15: So she's very supportive. Of course, she's been very consistent 474 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 15: in about her message about maintaining pressure on Moscow to 475 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 15: come to the negotiating table in good faith, and that's 476 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 15: a message that she reaffirmed when she met Zelenski this 477 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 15: week yesterday. 478 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 2: The Pope's got himself involved as well. 479 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 15: Oh yeah, it's interesting, Heather to ce Pope Leo coming 480 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 15: out of himself a little bit more. He's as some 481 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 15: of the reporters who traveled with him on his recent 482 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 15: trip to Lebanon and Turkey said to me. 483 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 19: This just this week. 484 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 15: He's very shy, but he's coming out a lot more 485 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 15: and looking like a voice of opposition, particularly to the 486 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 15: US President Donald Trump. He's been doing off the cuff 487 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 15: comments saying he he wants a peace agreement and suggesting 488 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 15: that without including Europe in these talks is unrealistic. So 489 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 15: he doesn't really want to see Trump sidelining the European leaders. 490 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 2: How are you guys feeling about the unice GO thing 491 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: must be absolutely phizzic. 492 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 15: Well, Italy is terribly excited, as you can imagine. One 493 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 15: thing that Italians agree on is their cuisine and how 494 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 15: good it is. And now UNESCO for the first time 495 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 15: has recognized Italian cuisine, the first country to be recognized 496 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 15: for its cuisine, and that includes everything from pastor to 497 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 15: parmesan to wine to terramasou all those things we love. 498 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 15: And that means that Italy will be include on the 499 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 15: list of what they call intangible Cultural Heritage assets. 500 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 2: Fantastic. I mean, what does that even mean? Does it 501 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: lead to anything or is it just one of those 502 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: ones we go that you're awesome, ba's it look? 503 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 20: I think it is. 504 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 15: And usially, of course has many many monuments around fifty 505 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 15: I think on the UNISCO Cultural Protection Patrimony list. So 506 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 15: this is another thing to add that they're very proud of. 507 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 15: And the Prime Minister, of course has been already telling 508 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 15: the world how proud she is of the country. 509 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: I can quite imagine. Now, listen, Joe, is this thing 510 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 2: real about this guy who was running away from the 511 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: cops and the imposed as a ship? It in a 512 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: real life Nativity scene? 513 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 15: I know it sounds strange, and we know that usually 514 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 15: loves the Nativity scene. There are hundreds of them at 515 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 15: this time of year across the country, in all shapes 516 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 15: and sizes. There are some that use what they call, 517 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 15: you know, life size figures. There are some that actually 518 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 15: incorporate real people and in fact, in this case, a 519 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 15: Ghanian man was hiding himself inside a Nativity scene amid 520 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 15: these life sized characters, until he was spotted by the 521 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 15: local mayor, who thought, gee, that guy looks like a 522 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 15: real person. 523 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: But he did he just come? Was he already pre 524 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 2: prepared in shepherd's gear? Or did he just what was 525 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: going on there? 526 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 6: Well? 527 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: I have to admit he looked homeless. 528 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 15: He's a fugitive. He'd been convicted in northern Italy of 529 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 15: assault and resisting a public official and got himself a 530 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 15: sentence and fled to southern Italy, and that's where he 531 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 15: was hiding in full sight. 532 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 2: Brilliant. I love it looks homeless, Joe, thank you very much, 533 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 2: appreciate it. Joe McKenna easily correspondent here. Why is what 534 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 2: the Pope thinks or says of any consequence? Well, hang 535 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: on a tech here, leader of the Christian world. Surely 536 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: you'd have to well, I mean, wouldn't you say that? 537 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: Like even the old protties nowadays have a look at 538 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: the Pope and go he's all right, don't they? Okay? 539 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 2: So well, one day on from the social media ban 540 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 2: in Australia and it looks I mean, I think if 541 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: you had to sum it up, you'd say probably looks 542 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: a little bit messy because some kids have different like 543 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 2: loads of kids have been taken off, some kids completely unaffected, 544 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: as if they're rolling around like the twenty years old, 545 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: and some are gloating that they're able to pass the 546 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 2: facial scanning and then continue to pose as over sixteen 547 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 2: year old by for example, scanning their forty six year 548 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: old mother's face things like as a question about parents 549 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: at parenting there. But anyway, a reporter at the Sydney 550 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: Morning Herald had a bit of a crack at it 551 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: himself to see how it went. So he went on 552 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: x Twitter, pretended to be fourteen and was blocked. But 553 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 2: when he changed his birth date to look like he 554 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: was thirty seven, he was allowed straight in, no questions asked. 555 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 2: So that's a pretty flimsy security system there. Instagram wouldn't 556 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 2: let him in when he said he was under sixteen. 557 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 2: Then he tried again, he changed it so he said 558 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: he was twenty eight. It let him in, but there 559 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: was a really long pause when accepting the terms and conditions, 560 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 2: which he thinks indicates the system may have actually been 561 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: running background checks and was satisfied that he was actually 562 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: what he said he was, which is over sixteen years old. 563 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 2: On Reddit, he said he was sick. Let him in 564 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: no questions. Asked again problematic tiktoks, he said he was 565 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 2: under sixteen, it blocked him. Then when he came back 566 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 2: and tried to say he was older, it wouldn't let 567 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: him set up a new account whatever his age was, 568 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: which indicates that his device or network address may have 569 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 2: been blacklisted after the first attempt. And then when he 570 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: went to Snapchat to try even though he said he 571 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 2: was older, it did the same thing blocked him, and 572 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: he thinks it's maybe because of the TikTok attempt. So 573 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 2: as you can see messy and yeah, some you'd have 574 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,719 Speaker 2: to say probably not trying hard enough. Ten away from 575 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: seven Heather. 576 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: Dou plus Y Allen on the mic Asking Breakfast where 577 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: the Defender and news togs hea'd be. 578 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 2: I got some good numbers for you, some good tourism 579 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: numbers for you. The visitor arrivals are going up to 580 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: the extent that we are now about ninety six and 581 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: a half percent away from pre COVID levels, and you 582 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: have to be happy about that. Chinese still really really low, 583 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 2: like really low. Ozzie's holding it up. Grant Webster, who 584 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 2: is the CEO of Tourism Holdings, will be with us 585 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: after seven and talk us through that I actually should 586 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 2: have said after seven o'clock. We're also going to talk 587 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 2: to Carl Bates, who's the chap who was chairing the 588 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 2: select committee that had a look at whether we're going 589 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 2: to do the social media ban after Australia, and he 590 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 2: will give us his take on how long it's going 591 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: to take us to basically make up our minds. It's 592 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 2: six away from seven. 593 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: All the inns are the outs, it's the fears with business. 594 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: Fiber take your business productivity to the next level. 595 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 2: So if the Trump administration doesn't think that the tariffs 596 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 2: affect Americans, they may want to ask small business owners 597 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 2: how they feel about it. The National Federation of Independent 598 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: Business's new report found that the number of small businesses 599 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: increasing their prices in November jump by an all time high. 600 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: Usually about thirteen percent of businesses raise their prices each month, 601 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 2: and November it was thirty four percent, the highest recording 602 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 2: since COVID, And over the next three months, thirty percent 603 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 2: of businesses say prices will absolutely be going up again, 604 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 2: and for those who reported lower profits. Twenty seven of 605 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 2: them blamed weaker sales, So there's your affordability hoax. I 606 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: suppose sixteen percent blamed rising material costs i e. The tariffs, 607 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 2: and twelve percent said it was labor costs going up. 608 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll see how long it takes. Sim speaking 609 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: of how long things take to realize. Now you heard 610 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: of Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban is He was on Dragon's Den. 611 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 2: If you ever watched it, you'll know the name. You'll 612 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 2: know who I'm talking about. He's a billionaire in the States. 613 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: He kind of for a little bit during the last 614 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 2: election flushed with the possibility of going into politics. Not 615 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: a huge fan of Donald Trump, to be fair. Not 616 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: a huge fan of the Democrats as well. And he's 617 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 2: owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team. Loves rugby, apparently 618 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: a huge fan of the old rugby. So he's going 619 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 2: to be he seems like a fascinating guy. Is going 620 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: to be with us after eight o'clock, So stay tuned 621 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 2: for that. 622 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: Now. 623 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: If you like hearing about Kiwi's doing well in the world, 624 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 2: like I do, I was really pleased to read about 625 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 2: this as Color now as Color has just sold a 626 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 2: stake to a Sydney based private equity firm called Quadrant. 627 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: And this particular part of Quadrant that's put the money 628 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: into AS Color specializes in partnering with high growth companies 629 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: through minority stakes and they deal with big money at Quadrant, 630 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 2: right like. Other investments made by the fund include Canvas 631 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: and Allied People Management and EMM Consulting and Endgame Analytics, 632 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: and all of that funding totaled more than about very 633 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: close to one point two billion New Zealand dollars. Now 634 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: we don't know exactly officially how much they have bought 635 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: out of as Color, but the Australian Financial Review reckons 636 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: it's about twenty one percent and they've bought it from 637 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 2: I think it's Direct Capital or some other equity firm. Anyway, 638 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 2: as Color is actually an amazing story. It was founded 639 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: in Auckland in two thousand and five.

How long are we going 662 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 2: to watch Australia before we make up our lines? 663 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 14: So our final report is due early in the new year, 664 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 14: and so you will get a clear indication when that 665 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 14: comes out, as I say, earlier in the new year. 666 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 14: But at the state that's very clear from the majority 667 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 14: of members of the Committee that undertaking the band here 668 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 14: in Zama would be a good idea. 669 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: Okay, So will that final report when it comes out 670 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: actually say yes or no we should do it. 671 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 14: So there are a couple of things the Committee has 672 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 14: already said it since we should do the band being 673 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 14: one of them, the introduction of an online regulator being another. 674 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 14: And then there were a number of points where the 675 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 14: Committee said these require further consideration and will provide some 676 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 14: final views in the final important what. 677 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 2: Do you think success in Australia looks like. 678 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 14: So there's no doubt teenagers will get around it, as 679 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 14: you've been saying, just as they do buying alcohol and 680 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 14: driving when they don't have the right license. However, this 681 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 14: is about a culture shift I think, and the majority 682 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 14: of the Committee believe we need to do this now, 683 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 14: that we need to step up if. 684 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 12: It's to ensure the. 685 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 14: Internet is a safe place for our children. 686 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, ultimately this will live die based on 687 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 2: whether you can get ACT support. How do you feel 688 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: about that because they don't sound like they love it. 689 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 14: Well, not necessarily. Labor have said that they support restricting 690 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 14: online access for under sixteen year old So maybe next 691 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 14: time you have someone from Labor on the show, you'll 692 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 14: be able to ask them to stay. Are keen to 693 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 14: Pullcatch and Weed's members bill out of the biscuit to 694 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 14: now and get on with it? 695 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 6: Yeah? 696 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 2: Fair point? Okay, Now, having looked into this as a 697 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: parent yourself, what have you come out of it more 698 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 2: concerned about? Is it the scrolling and what it does 699 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 2: to the kids on the social media or is it 700 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 2: the harassment and bullying that happens between them on these platforms. 701 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 14: So I think when you look at what the committee did, 702 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 14: we went much wider than just the online social media 703 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 14: harm component. So we look at content, so the self 704 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 14: harm issues, the manipulation, We look at conduct, so the 705 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 14: sharing of information, sexteen newd step fas, all of that, 706 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 14: the contact stuff that you've been referring to, their cyberbullety, 707 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 14: bullying and harassment, and then also commerce that happens for 708 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 14: our teenagers as well, scams and gambling and these things. 709 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 14: And there are some pretty horroring stories that chain through 710 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 14: the selectivity process where parents are and individual shared their 711 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 14: experiences and I just want to shout out to them 712 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,479 Speaker 14: for opening up and sharing their personal stories. 713 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, thank you very much, Carla, to appreciate your time. 714 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: That's Carl Bates, acting Chair of the Educational Workforce Committee 715 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 2: here that Martin Luther King told us we are morally 716 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: obligated to disobey bad law, and now banning under sixteen 717 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: year olds from learning media social media is certainly bad law, 718 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: and I will definitely be encouraging and helping my kids 719 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 2: to circumvent that law should be implemented in New Zealand. 720 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 2: But nuts, isn't it ten past seven? 721 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 3: Together? Duplessye? Ellen? 722 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 2: More good news on the tourism front. Arrivals are up 723 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 2: six percent in the year to October, so we're getting 724 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 2: very close to three and a half million visitors, which 725 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 2: means we are now at ninety six and a half 726 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 2: percent of pre COVID levels, so tantalizingly close. Grant Webster 727 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: is the CEO of Tourism Holdings Limited. 728 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 3: Morning, Grant, good morning. 729 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 2: Are you heartened by what you're seeing? 730 00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 14: Oh? 731 00:33:59,440 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 20: Very much? 732 00:33:59,800 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 6: So? 733 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 20: Yeah.

What is it that they're loving 737 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 2: over here? 738 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 20: I think we are a cheap destination relative to America 739 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 20: and other locations at the moment, plus some very strong 740 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,720 Speaker 20: marketing from Tourism Museum. 741 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 2: Oh so do you think it's that weird ad? I 742 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 2: can't remember what the ad was. Would you reckon that's 743 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 2: paying off? 744 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 5: Is it? 745 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 20: Yeah? Look, you spend in that market and you get 746 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 20: good airline capacity and watch what happens now. 747 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: China still seems to be a little bit of a 748 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 2: problem and we're around about half pre COVID levels. Is 749 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 2: this just the new normal that we need to get 750 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 2: used to the Chinese and not going to come back 751 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 2: in those numbers. 752 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 20: No, I don't think so. I think it's just a 753 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 20: matter of time. So it was a lot later start. 754 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 20: You know, we had a few things from these perspective 755 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 20: that we had changed in calendar twenty four. That's been 756 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 20: rectified by the government in twenty five. Latest change with 757 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 20: allowing Australia visas and certain situations to flow through for 758 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 20: Chinese makes a big difference. Table was a bigger lift 759 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 20: actually so I think I think we're on the right 760 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 20: track now for China and we'll get back there. The 761 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 20: numbers will get back there. 762 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, how how some are looking for You guys are 763 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 2: busy as. 764 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 20: Yeah, really busy. So New Zealand will be somewhere around 765 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 20: twenty percent up in revenue over the summer period. 766 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 2: Great, yeah, brilliant stuff. 767 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 6: Now. 768 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 2: I saw in the papers the other day you guys 769 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 2: are shutting down some manufacturing and Aussie and then you're 770 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 2: moving out over to Hamilton, which feels like the opposite 771 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 2: of what's happening in this country. So what's brought that off? 772 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 20: I just mentioned before Ozzie's are coming here because we're 773 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 20: a cheaper destination where at the factors we're a cheaper 774 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 20: destination to manufacture, so our labor rate's a cheaper rents, 775 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 20: cheaper dot dot dot. So sad reality for Australian manufacturing. Unfortunately, 776 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 20: the right thing for us to do. 777 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 2: Grant Listen, thanks very much appreciated, Grant Webster, CEO of 778 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 2: Tourism Holdings Limited. It was the everyone must Go a campaign, 779 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 2: That's what it was. Thirteen parts together do for CLA. 780 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 11: Okay, this business of. 781 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 2: The principle spending money on trips overseas and trips to 782 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 2: Queenstown and adventure tourism. Stuff is getting uglier. The case 783 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 2: that's emerged today is the principle of Teppiner School in Mercer, 784 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 2: which is south of Auckland. Turns out that back in 785 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, the school paid for flights totally. I 786 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: think it was more than eleven thousand dollars slightly more 787 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: like eleven thousand, four hundred or something like that anyway, 788 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 2: and the school was paying for flights for his family 789 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 2: to go to Arotona. And the school says that it 790 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 2: did this on the understanding that they would be that 791 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 2: the school would be reimbursed at the time of an 792 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 2: audit being done on the school, which is in May 793 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, So two years later, none of the 794 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 2: funds had been repaid. Now the principal has defended himself 795 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 2: saying oh no, no, no, I've repaid it now, and 796 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 2: he's done this in a text message to media. The 797 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 2: trouble is the Board of trustees presiding member Mandy Gillett 798 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 2: did not respond to a request for comment, which means 799 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: that that account cannot be verified. So we're going to 800 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 2: have to take his word for it. But the more 801 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:06,479 Speaker 2: I see of this, I mean, are you coming? 802 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 8: Are you? 803 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 2: Are you starting to wonder whether we're making a mistake 804 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 2: allowing school boards to sign off on sums like this, 805 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: because I'm just starting to I mean, this is not 806 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 2: a novel idea. We've talked about this for a while, 807 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 2: but I just wonder if this whole setup, if this 808 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 2: is showing that this is not the setup that we need. 809 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 2: We need some decent, like some proper people in there 810 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 2: approving funding, because clearly that's not happening. Fourteen past the Hi. 811 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 1: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on I have Radio powered 812 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: by News Talks at be. 813 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 2: Actually I should have said on the subject of the 814 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 2: social media and where the ACT will support it, and 815 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 2: then also on what the heck we're going to do 816 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 2: about these principles and their spending.

And again with cancer it's not just one thing, 831 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 21: it's many as well. So it's better prevention. So fewer 832 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,479 Speaker 21: New Zealanders are smoking than ever before, which is great, 833 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 21: as earlier detection was, better screening programs, so now bow bowl, 834 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 21: breast in civial cancer, better treatments which are available, which 835 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 21: is fantastic. And so it's really many things along the 836 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 21: whole continuum. But saying that the system is better than 837 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 21: ever has been, which it is, and saying our survival 838 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 21: is better than it ever has been, which it is, 839 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 21: is fantastic. But you know, if you're someone who's on 840 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 21: a waiting list to be seen by specialists, or if 841 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 21: you're waiting on a chest, or if you're someone who's 842 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 21: trying to access a new cancer drag. It can still 843 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 21: be a pretty frustrating time. 844 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, if there was one thing that you could change 845 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 2: in order to prevent cancer, what would it be. 846 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 21: Yeah, well the number one twenty percent of all cancers 847 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 21: are related to smoking, twenty percent. So do you get 848 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 21: really smoking that you would cut the number of cancers 849 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 21: by twenty percent. 850 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 2: That is understood it, even though the numbers are so 851 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 2: small nowadays. 852 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 21: Yeah, well it's probably gonna certainly there's going down, but 853 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 21: those people who've been smoking are still going to be 854 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 21: going through the system for a better amount of time. 855 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 21: The number the number two cause is a best teap. 856 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 21: So New Zealand's what the third most obese country in 857 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 21: the world now, I think, And we're seeing a rise 858 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 21: in some OBESEI related cancers now also, and I think 859 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 21: if we could fix that, there will be the other 860 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 21: big thing in terms of prevention. The other key thing, 861 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 21: which is a very New Zealand thing, is our love 862 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 21: affair with the sun. And as we come into summer months, 863 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 21: I think we have to reflect on the old flip 864 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 21: slop slapt thing. Australia has done the sun prevention thing 865 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 21: better than we have, and our skin cancer rates are 866 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 21: now hid in theirs. 867 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I suppose, I mean you must, you must 868 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 2: be reasonably heartened them by the what the WI GOVI 869 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: is doing and the possibility that comes off patient next 870 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 2: year and we start getting the stuff for cheaper. 871 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 21: Ye yes, yes, es I certainly think that that is 872 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 21: certainly going to be a big, big factor for a 873 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 21: lot of people. But still, you know, it's not really 874 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 21: the answer for everyone. 875 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: No. 876 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 2: Now, listen, the backlogs and the wait times, as you 877 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 2: mentioned before, are creating a headache. 878 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 3: So what is going on here? 879 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 2: Is this getting better? 880 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 3: On? 881 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,720 Speaker 21: Well, if you look at the numbers of people affected 882 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 21: by cancer, people reckon that we're going to have about 883 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 21: a fifty percent increase the numbers affected over the course 884 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 21: in next fifteen to twenty years. So we're getting older, 885 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 21: and as you get older, the numbers of cancers go 886 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 21: up and there's more of us, and our system is 887 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 21: not growing at the same pace as there So thirty 888 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 21: thousand people affected this year and in fifteen years time, 889 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 21: forty five thousand people set it's half as miny again, 890 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 21: which means half as many again skin surgeries, operations, procedures 891 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 21: and the like, And we're just not growing our system 892 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 21: at the same rate. And there's no doubt that the 893 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 21: politicians a checking the care that the health system, that's 894 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 21: for sure, but it's not going up at fifty percent 895 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 21: over the course the next fifteen years. So there's a 896 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 21: lot of work to do in terms of making sure 897 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 21: that we have the system right size. 898 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Thank you so much, Chris appreciated, Doctor Chris Jackson, 899 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 2: Professor of Oncology, University of Otago. Here they read the principles. 900 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but that's stealing from your employer and as 901 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 2: far as I'm aware, that's against the law if you 902 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 2: actually have a look at the coverage. And by the way, 903 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 2: I've given you one example of a myriad examples out there. 904 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 2: But the Office of the Order to General does make 905 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 2: that point. They're like, this does seem to be possibly unlawful, 906 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 2: and this is unlawful, and that's unlawful. It's not their 907 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 2: job to chase it up. Someone's got to chase it up. 908 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 2: So we'll talk to David symore about that. Seven twenty one, 909 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 2: the Mike. 910 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, call it by 911 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 1: News Talks EV. 912 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 2: Right now, it's seven twenty three. Now let's talk about 913 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 2: this Nicola Willis Ruth Richardson debate. Right, here's a challenge 914 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 2: to Nikola Willis. Do this debate this year, do it 915 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 2: next week. And the reason I'm saying that is because 916 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 2: I'm hearing that, having challenged Ruth Richardson to the debate, 917 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 2: Nichola Willis's office would now prefer to do it next year. 918 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 2: And I can understand why I'm in politically that's a 919 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 2: smart move because by next year, the momentum will be 920 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 2: gone and we'll all have moved on to other things, 921 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 2: and probably it will not get as big an audience 922 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 2: as if she was to do it next week, because 923 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 2: next week is a very big economic week, isn't it. 924 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 2: The government's opening its books. Ed looks like Nichola Willis 925 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 2: might be pushing out surplus again for the second time 926 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 2: in two years. And then we've got the GDP number, 927 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,919 Speaker 2: and that's coming off the back of the Taxpayer's Union 928 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 2: campaign calling her out for her big spending, which is 929 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 2: kicked off today. So next week there were a whole 930 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 2: lot more energy around a debate and a whole lot 931 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 2: more interest in what she's got to say for herself. Now, 932 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 2: if it's pushed out to next year. I would read 933 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 2: this as the first sign of her losing courage, and 934 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 2: if I was cynical, which I am, I would read 935 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 2: it as the first side of them hoping in the 936 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 2: office that this will just fizzle out and die, because frankly, 937 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 2: it was a political mistake to challenge Ruth Richardson to 938 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 2: a debate. Ruth Richardson, for all of her faults, and 939 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 2: there are many, I would imagine that people think can 940 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 2: articulate all the problems with Nichola's big spending budgets and 941 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 2: debt gathering in a way that most members of the 942 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 2: media nowadays simply can't, which is to say, she will 943 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: mount a case that Nichola is spending too much money 944 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 2: and is taking us down exactly the same path of 945 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 2: economic trouble that Grant started us on, which I suspect 946 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 2: will convince a lot of voters when they sit down 947 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:04,879 Speaker 2: and have a listen to it, they'll go, oh, yeah, 948 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 2: maybe we've got a problem here, and we do. We 949 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 2: have a problem when we have a government that promised 950 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,919 Speaker 2: to cut spending and get us quote back on track, 951 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 2: and yet spends more money than Grant Robertson ever did, 952 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 2: Which was I watering in and of itself, and this 953 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 2: government will buy midnext year. Have taken on forty five 954 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 2: billion dollars worth of debt, which by then will account 955 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 2: for almost a quarter of our total debt. That is 956 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 2: how much debt they're racking up. This is a really 957 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 2: important debate, by the way, for Labour. Who wants to 958 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 2: poo poo and call it a flex it is not. 959 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 2: It is a very important debate because what is more 960 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 2: important for a government to do well than to run 961 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 2: the country's box. So next week, how about it? 962 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 3: Ever, Duper Clan, I'm not. 963 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 2: The only As Color fan cure to Heather. I'm glad 964 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: to hear that As Color are currently smashing it. I 965 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 2: was in their Wellington, Cuba Street store the other day. 966 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,799 Speaker 2: The team were brilliant, incredibly friendly and helpful. Twenty five 967 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 2: percent off for five items at the same at the 968 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 2: time too. And that's that's like Briscoe's. You know how 969 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 2: Brisco's always has a sale at the weekend. They always 970 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 2: have twenty five percent off for five items, which I 971 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 2: also love. May they go from strength to strength. That's 972 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,919 Speaker 2: from John here the As Color in the Westgate shop. 973 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 2: You get a fantastic view of the highly automated warehouse. 974 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 2: You can see the product retrieved from four story warehousing 975 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 2: and then chugging along multiple conveyor belts to the packing 976 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 2: section and not a human insight. It's fascinating. Worth a visit. 977 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 2: Imagine it's worth a visit for kids who are interested 978 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 2: in engineering, which actually, as it transpires, is exactly what's 979 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 2: going on. I think you might have just found something 980 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 2: that I'm going to be doing in the next lot 981 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 2: of school holidays. Now did you catch I'm fascinated by 982 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,760 Speaker 2: the story that I caught yesterday about the Wye Cuttle 983 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 2: officer who was arresting the Numpties who were smearing the 984 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 2: custard on the Crown jewels in the Tower of London. 985 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 2: So what happened is this chap, his name is Senior 986 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 2: Constable Mark Strongman, was just on holiday in the UK 987 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 2: with his family and he went to the Tower of 988 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 2: London like you do when you're a tourist, and he 989 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 2: saw these four people who've now made global headlines. He 990 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 2: saw them throwing the custard on the display case. So 991 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 2: he walked up to them. He says, I introduced myself 992 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 2: informing them that I was arresting them for criminal behavior 993 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,359 Speaker 2: and advising them of their rights, and they waited with them. 994 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,959 Speaker 2: They were like, oh yeah, okay, and they waited until 995 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 2: the met officers arrived. Now immediately I thought when I 996 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 2: read that, was like, does Mark even have arresting powers 997 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 2: in the UK? He's a y catto cop. He's not sure. 998 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 2: He said, he took an oath to the crown, so 999 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 2: he figured my arrest procedures would stick. How good is that? 1000 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 2: It's entirely possible that he bluffed the numpties and they 1001 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 2: fell for it, So jokes on them. David Seymour next 1002 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: used dogs that'd be jee. 1003 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 1: Asking the questions others won't he the duplessy Allen on 1004 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,919 Speaker 1: the Mike asking breakfast. Were the defender embraced the impossible 1005 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 1: news togs, they'd. 1006 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 2: Be you need to meet Mark Cuban, who's going to billionaire? 1007 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 2: Who's going to be with me after eight o'clock of 1008 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,839 Speaker 2: Dragon's Den and various other things he's done. He's after 1009 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 2: rates right now. It is twenty three away from eight. 1010 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,280 Speaker 2: So the investigations the Maldi School lunch drama in christ 1011 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 2: You is completed and raally it's not actually clear what 1012 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 2: happened here, but the food safety guys still think the 1013 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 2: most likely problem was food left over at the school 1014 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,280 Speaker 2: rather out of the fridge for the weekend. David Seymour 1015 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 2: is the Associate Ministry of Education Morning David Hey Heather, 1016 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 2: So what is the most likely thing that they think 1017 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 2: here has happened. 1018 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 19: They think that at the. 1019 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 13: School there were some meals that had been delivered the 1020 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 13: previous week. They were stored somewhere in the school, probably 1021 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 13: in the cafeteria, and some of those old meals got 1022 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 13: handed out with the new ones that had been delivered 1023 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 13: that day. This is after Food Safety in New Zealand 1024 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 13: have been to the school that have been all over 1025 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 13: Compass like Kirash and the main thing they notice is 1026 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 13: that on the day that the MOLDI lunches were handed out, 1027 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 13: there were fifteen other schools that got them, but also 1028 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 13: that there were many other parts of the Hartier Community 1029 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 13: campus where the lunches were handed out and those ones 1030 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 13: were fine. So it seems that it wasn't just one school, 1031 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 13: It was one part of one school where there seemed 1032 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 13: to be some lunches that were different from all the 1033 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 13: other ones that day. 1034 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,960 Speaker 2: Okay, how is it though, that we can't prove this 1035 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 2: is just a guess, right, We can't prove it totally. 1036 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 2: Is there no paperwork? Is there nothing like this that 1037 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 2: actually formally records what is going on? 1038 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 13: Well, I guess to really ever be absolutely certain about 1039 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 13: what happened, you'd have to basically have a tracking device 1040 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 13: on every single lunch. 1041 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 18: Now that's not viable, but we do. 1042 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 13: Have a scenario where in order to believe that it 1043 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 13: was anything else, there'd have to be something extraordinary that 1044 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,320 Speaker 13: no one else can figure out. Whereas there's a completely 1045 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 13: paucible explanation that the same lunch was served four days earlier. 1046 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 13: This school had had a teacher only day, so hadn't 1047 00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 13: had any other lunches delivered, and it had a long 1048 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 13: term practice of having several boxes that were kind of kept. 1049 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 18: Some lunches were put aside. 1050 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,200 Speaker 13: In this cafeteria area where students were able to come 1051 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 13: and get extras if they wanted to. Well, the few 1052 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 13: of those turned out to have been there a bit 1053 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 13: longer than they should have been. 1054 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 2: Now listen on the subject of this exact school. I 1055 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 2: see the school's got a bit of rap of a 1056 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 2: bit of a rap over the knuckles for spending about 1057 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 2: close to nineteen thousand dollars for the principal and the 1058 00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 2: senior leadership team to go to Queenstown and there was 1059 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 2: no clear business purpose. Now what happens here? Are there 1060 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 2: consequences for this kind of spending? 1061 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 13: Well, the government had a policy several years back before 1062 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 13: the election of giving out these funds to select schools. 1063 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 13: Whether that program continues and how it's managed, I'm sure 1064 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 13: will be up to Erica Stanford. But I think the 1065 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 13: point of this audit is that school communities can decide 1066 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 13: what to make of their processes and management. Remember, we 1067 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 13: have self governing schools through boards of trustees in New Zealand. 1068 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 13: I guess people might start to ask themselves, look this 1069 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 13: whole saga, it was unreasonable to have a principal who 1070 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,240 Speaker 13: was out in the media for a week when in reality, 1071 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 13: Food Safety New Zealand completed their assessment within ten days, 1072 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 13: which is lightning speed for most things that happen in government. 1073 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 13: And if they were just open about what might have 1074 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 13: been the possibility we could have waited till now, we 1075 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 13: could have saved a week of dramas. 1076 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,399 Speaker 2: This whole spending thing has come out because the order 1077 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,120 Speaker 2: to General has had a look at all the like 1078 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of schools. Really, it's not just this school. 1079 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 2: The thing that occurred to me when I was reading 1080 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 2: about it and listening to it was that I wonder 1081 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,800 Speaker 2: if the days of boards of trustees running schools actually 1082 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 2: should be numbered, because we're just asking very ordinary people 1083 00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 2: to approve some reasonable spending. Do you think that it's 1084 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 2: maybe an outdated idea, Well, there's. 1085 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,080 Speaker 13: Long been an argument that that's what the Tomorrow's Schools model. 1086 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 13: It started in nineteen eighty nine. It's got school boards 1087 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 13: elected from the community running schoo There's a lot of 1088 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,320 Speaker 13: communities it actually works fantastically well. It doesn't seem to 1089 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,479 Speaker 13: work so well in some communities where they just don't 1090 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 13: have the people to elect in it. So you know, 1091 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,320 Speaker 13: in a very I guess a high decile area it 1092 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 13: seems to work quite well, and others it sometimes doesn't. 1093 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 13: I mean, one reason I push charter schools is it 1094 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 13: gives you a different model of governance, so you can 1095 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 13: draw on different people, and that seems to work quite 1096 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 13: well in a lot of places already. So look, you 1097 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 13: can have that debate, but all I would say in 1098 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 13: this particular instance, as I feel for the school community, 1099 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 13: I feel for the students because frankly, you know, this 1100 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 13: is an example where it would have been easier if 1101 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 13: everyone just took a breath, said Okay, where did these 1102 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,839 Speaker 13: lunches come from? Keep an open mind, whereas I've had 1103 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 13: to spend a week responding in the media to what 1104 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 13: happened to twenty lunches. 1105 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,319 Speaker 2: Would you consider supporting any kind of social media ban 1106 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 2: or restriction for under sixteens if it works an Aussie? 1107 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,239 Speaker 13: Yeah, and I think the right thing to do is 1108 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 13: to watch what happens in Australia. There are really good 1109 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 13: reasons to think that it may not work. I mean, 1110 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 13: one obvious one is what if kids end up doing 1111 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 13: other stuff on the internet that could be worse than 1112 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,719 Speaker 13: these platforms that are being banned, or they sneak on 1113 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 13: with VPNs and suddenly they're unwilling to talk to adults 1114 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 13: about what they're experiencing because they think they're doing something naughty. 1115 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,560 Speaker 13: That's something that you should keep in mind. I think 1116 00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 13: that parents overwhelmingly are distressed and want someone to be 1117 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 13: on their side and this battle to be safe online, 1118 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 13: but a blunt tool that could make it worse is 1119 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:36,840 Speaker 13: not doing them a service. 1120 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 18: It's doing them and especially the children are disserviced. 1121 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 2: Good stuff, wasn't David, Thanks very much for your time. 1122 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 2: That's David Seymour, Associate Minister of Education. Seventeen away from eight. 1123 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1124 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 1: by News Talks that be. 1125 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 2: Hi here that to use a high performance racing car analogy, 1126 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 2: Nicholas challenge will be to demonstrate that grant spending on 1127 00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 2: the car was on fluffy dice and around the door 1128 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 2: whilst the tires and the engine were being ignored. She 1129 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 2: has to convince us that the money she is spending 1130 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 2: is on fixing those tires and servicing that engine so 1131 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 2: that the race car goes faster and starts winning races. 1132 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 2: It's not always about how much you spend, it's about 1133 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 2: where you spend it and what the return is on 1134 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,759 Speaker 2: your expenditure. Should be a really interesting debate, Tony. I 1135 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,439 Speaker 2: agree with you and thank you for that. Thirteen away 1136 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 2: from eight. So yesterday I tried the chat GPT for 1137 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 2: shopping as a shopping assistant, because this is apparently a 1138 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 2: thing that everybody's doing at the moment. I don't know 1139 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,960 Speaker 2: if you're aware of this, and I was reading, I'm 1140 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,000 Speaker 2: basically telling you this to warn you off it. I 1141 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 2: was reading The Economist yesterday and it had an article 1142 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 2: and it was raving about how getting AI to do 1143 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 2: your shopping is all the cool new things Christmas, and 1144 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,359 Speaker 2: it's like the second biggest thing that people use AI 1145 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 2: for and it's just on the increase, blah blah blah whatever. 1146 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 2: So I thought, Okay, well i'll give it. I'll give 1147 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 2: it a bit of a hone. And where it becomes 1148 00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:52,840 Speaker 2: really valuable is not in doing the stuff that you 1149 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 2: could just do for yourself, but in finding you the 1150 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 2: cheapest or finding you the one that will get to 1151 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 2: you by next Wednesday or whatever. So I need to 1152 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 2: buy my brother a present, so I decided, I don't 1153 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,239 Speaker 2: care if he knows this. I decided to get him 1154 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 2: a golf shirt for Christmas. So I went to the 1155 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 2: chat GPT and I typed into the chat GPT find 1156 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,799 Speaker 2: me a golf shirt size large that will arrive by 1157 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 2: my house by next Wednesday. The first one, it suggested 1158 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,839 Speaker 2: fantastic price, so obviously went for the cheap one. First 1159 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,920 Speaker 2: one would arrive shipping date New Year's Day, so I 1160 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,880 Speaker 2: was like, you missed a crucial part. They mate, so 1161 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 2: I started again. The second shirt it recommended to me 1162 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 2: had all the sizes, but it didn't have large, so 1163 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 2: again it felt so In the end, what I did 1164 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 2: is I just I just gave up on it and 1165 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 2: I went to golf wear house and I bought a shirt, 1166 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,840 Speaker 2: which is what I was going to do anyway. So 1167 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,839 Speaker 2: all I ended up doing was just wasting my time 1168 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:40,840 Speaker 2: with the chat GPT, which is you know it's supposed 1169 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 2: to save the time. Anyway. I cannot tell you, like 1170 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 2: something must be going wrong for me, because I would 1171 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,719 Speaker 2: say that the economists stats would be the right ones, right, 1172 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 2: which is that it's like the second biggest use of AI. 1173 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,839 Speaker 2: I don't know what is going wrong for me. I'm 1174 00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,399 Speaker 2: starting to think it may in fact be the chat 1175 00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 2: GPT that I'm using, because if I don't know, if 1176 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,160 Speaker 2: you use it, if you've read about it, it seems 1177 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 2: to be getting dumber and dumber by the minute, and 1178 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 2: so you know, it's basically at human levels. Now I'm 1179 00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 2: less like me talking to myself on chat GPT, so 1180 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,720 Speaker 2: it's getting dumber. So I think it's the problem. I think, actually, 1181 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 2: if I was to use something else. I don't know, 1182 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 2: maybe I do. 1183 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 18: They make the free one dumber, so people pay for the. 1184 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 2: Opus and I'm using the free one. But that doesn't 1185 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 2: seem like a fantastic business model because there are other 1186 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 2: free ones like Gemini, Google, which I'm just going to 1187 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,799 Speaker 2: go to instead of paying. Right, So anyway, we'll see 1188 00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 2: how this only if you I don't know, if you've 1189 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 2: tried it out, let me know how, because it might 1190 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 2: it might be user error on my partner that I 1191 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 2: don't know. I said to it gets to me by Wednesday, 1192 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 2: and I didn't say where I am who knows, just 1193 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 2: assumed it hither. Our son's partner is an Auckland policewoman 1194 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 2: who's on leave on her oe in London, and she 1195 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,879 Speaker 2: apprehended an offender and put him in a headlock until 1196 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,280 Speaker 2: the local police were there and caught up on him. Amazing. 1197 00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 2: I guess it was instinct and training that took over. 1198 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,719 Speaker 2: And then she received a commendation from the London met 1199 00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 2: So that you go not the It just seems like 1200 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,719 Speaker 2: all our going over there are doing there because there's 1201 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 2: a lot of crime in the UK, by the way, 1202 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 2: so there's plenty for them to help out with eleven 1203 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:07,920 Speaker 2: Away from eight, Heather. 1204 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,360 Speaker 1: Dupa d Allen fon the My Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's 1205 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 1: real estate news. 1206 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,439 Speaker 3: Dog zib heither. 1207 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 2: I just asked chat GPT, who's the number one news 1208 00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,360 Speaker 2: tog ZB host, and it said you, what did I 1209 00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,320 Speaker 2: tell you? It's literally getting dumber by the minute. Seven 1210 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 2: away from eight. Now it is not hard to be 1211 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 2: impressed with Zespre's ongoing innovation. Eight and they've got more 1212 00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,719 Speaker 2: even to tell you about. They're now going to start 1213 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 2: selling a new type of red Kiwi fruit to capitalize 1214 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,200 Speaker 2: on the success of the existing one. And Jason to 1215 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 2: break is the CEO of Zespri and with us morning, Jason. 1216 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:36,120 Speaker 19: Good morning, how are you. 1217 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:37,880 Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. Now, it sounds like the 1218 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 2: difference with the Red eighty, which is the new one, 1219 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 2: is that it harvests later than the Red nineteen, so 1220 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 2: you can extend the selling window. Is that basically it? 1221 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,759 Speaker 19: Yeah, that's right. I mean, so we're seeing your harvest later, 1222 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,760 Speaker 19: so we get a longer time that we've got product 1223 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 19: available for our consumers in the market. Also, it's got 1224 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,840 Speaker 19: a larger sized profile, so that's a bigger piece of 1225 00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,080 Speaker 19: fruit as well, which our consumers are asking for. So 1226 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,240 Speaker 19: there's some benefits of it, and it supports our existing 1227 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 19: red category as well. 1228 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 2: Why is it that the red doesn't keep very long? 1229 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 2: Which is really the problem you're trying to solve. 1230 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 19: It's just a natural part of the throat, you know, 1231 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 19: it's a short shelf life product, similar to what we 1232 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 19: have with berries. But ultimately what we're looking at is how, 1233 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,839 Speaker 19: through either breeding but also new innovation, we can make 1234 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 19: sure we get a longer period where that fruits in 1235 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 19: front of our consumers. 1236 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:27,840 Speaker 2: And so when do you expect this is going to 1237 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:28,400 Speaker 2: hit the market. 1238 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 19: We will release license to growers through the course of 1239 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,759 Speaker 19: next year and it's likely to be another couple of 1240 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 19: years after that, so you're talking about twenty twenty eight 1241 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,160 Speaker 19: before we have our first crop available to complement our 1242 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:42,360 Speaker 19: existing red variety. 1243 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,800 Speaker 2: Now, when listen, Jason, I have never ever seen a 1244 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 2: red variety on the supermarket sheldon And in this country, 1245 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,280 Speaker 2: and it is entirely possible. It's just where I'm shopping. 1246 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,759 Speaker 2: But is it ever going to become and if it is, 1247 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 2: when is it going to become kind of a normal 1248 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 2: thing in New Zealand. 1249 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 19: Yeah, we do sell it in the New Yand and 1250 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 19: actually a reasonable amount of fruit gets sold in New 1251 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 19: Zealand for that it's a short product, so you're basically 1252 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,719 Speaker 19: looking around that late February early March fruit to sort 1253 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,440 Speaker 19: of the beginning of May. It's quite popular so often 1254 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 19: it gets picked up pretty quickly and taken home. So look, 1255 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 19: we're trying to grow more volume and it's part of 1256 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 19: this decision as well as to have more volume come on, 1257 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,920 Speaker 19: so we've got more fruit available for consumers in New Zealand, 1258 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 19: but also around the world. 1259 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 2: Jason Glenn's been complaining he can't find actually any kiwi 1260 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:31,960 Speaker 2: fruit at the moment. What's going on. 1261 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 19: It's one of these things with a perishable product. Eventually 1262 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 19: it runs out of time. So we harvest in March. 1263 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 19: That fruit usually last till about November December, and then 1264 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 19: we have to wait till the beginning of the next 1265 00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 19: season in March again. So there is a small period 1266 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 19: of time here where we just don't have fruit available 1267 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 19: because it's out of season. 1268 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,440 Speaker 2: What do we replace it with? Jason, I mean, it's 1269 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 2: the thing that helps you with your mood, It's the 1270 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,520 Speaker 2: thing that helps you with your pooh. It's the thing 1271 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 2: that helps you with your sleep, So is there anything else? 1272 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 2: What do you replace it with? 1273 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 19: Well, so what we're doing is actually looking how we 1274 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,400 Speaker 19: try and extend that for longer. So we are looking 1275 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,280 Speaker 19: at how we can breed fruit that will last longer. 1276 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 19: We're looking at how we can have innovation that will 1277 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,840 Speaker 19: allow us to store that fruit for longer. We're trying 1278 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,400 Speaker 19: to tackle this problem for people around the world as actually, 1279 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 19: how do we get kiwi fruit available every single day 1280 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 19: of the year. So we're working on that and that's 1281 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 19: also where we're growing offshore as well to try and 1282 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 19: help our consumers around the world. 1283 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliantly, really please to hear it, Jason, look after yourself, 1284 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 2: have a good day. That's Jason to break the zespre 1285 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 2: Ceo loving zespri At the moment, hither you and chat 1286 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,840 Speaker 2: GPT must be like dumb and dumber. That's what I 1287 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 2: was saying. There's not much help if you're operating at 1288 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,120 Speaker 2: my level. Lord, Hither I always have and here's the tip. Okay, 1289 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 2: this is what you need to do. This I think 1290 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 2: might solve the problem. I always have to tell chat 1291 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 2: GPT twice that it's not trying hard enough. Once I've 1292 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 2: done that, it becomes really awesome. It's essentially to save money. 1293 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 2: The first few results are basically just to Google, and 1294 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 2: once it realized as it actually needs to kick its 1295 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 2: proper brain into gear, then you're good. And this is 1296 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 2: from somebody who actually pays for the products of there 1297 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:06,880 Speaker 2: you go, try doing that. I'm going to try it. 1298 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 18: I have noticed that that, like on the Jim and 1299 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 18: I one at the bottom of it, it says, you know, 1300 00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 18: do a deeper dive on that, and I always think, 1301 00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 18: why didn't you just do that right from the beginning. 1302 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:18,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well this is go. 1303 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 18: Let's go pretty deep straight on and take it from there. 1304 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 2: You know what I'd like to see quantified is how 1305 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 2: many trees I'm killing every single time I do it? Like, 1306 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 2: how much of the planet am I ruining? Because maybe 1307 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,920 Speaker 2: that's why we're not doing a deeper dive straight up now, 1308 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 2: Mark Cuban, I'm not going to lie to you. You're 1309 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 2: gonna want to marry him because this guy is like 1310 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,000 Speaker 2: I want to marry him, and I'm married. He is charming, 1311 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 2: he is wonderful. If somebody pointed out to me, it's 1312 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 2: not what's it called shark Tank, It's not Dragon's Den, 1313 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 2: it's the other one. It's the Shark Tank that he 1314 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,800 Speaker 2: was on. But do you know what we've been talking 1315 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we've been talking about rugby in 1316 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:52,600 Speaker 2: this country and how boring it is and how rubbish 1317 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,520 Speaker 2: it is, and how sport's not making money.

So give me your take on rugby, because 1352 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,280 Speaker 2: we have been discussing this on the show this week. 1353 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 2: Is rugby boring? 1354 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,920 Speaker 6: No? Fifteenth? No, No, are you kidding me? I love 1355 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:45,640 Speaker 6: after basketball, It's my second favorite sport. I love fifteens 1356 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 6: Stevens can be a little bit boring, right because it's 1357 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 6: a bunch of little guys just running around all the time. 1358 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,080 Speaker 6: Like rugby to me, you gotta have impact, you gotta 1359 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 6: have scrums, you got it? Like, yeah, I mean, Devin, 1360 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 6: I'm not as big a fan of because I was 1361 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 6: never fit enough to be good at it, But yeah, 1362 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:05,560 Speaker 6: I love fifteens. 1363 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I see. I find that fascinating because the debate 1364 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 2: that we're having at the moments in New Zealand, and 1365 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 2: I suppose in a lot of rugby countries, is actually 1366 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 2: that rugby league is this wonderful and fast spectacle, whether 1367 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 2: whereas rugby is so slow down by the rules and 1368 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 2: yet thumbs down from. 1369 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 6: You yeah Union all the way, Like what do they 1370 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,160 Speaker 6: like about league that they think is better? 1371 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 2: It's faster, whereas you know, it's a much more free 1372 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 2: flowing game, whereas rugby is really defensive, right, it's not 1373 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,280 Speaker 2: in attacking game. So you get the ball and you 1374 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 2: go into a scrumming and you get down onto the ground. 1375 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,400 Speaker 6: No, I can see that. I can see that. But 1376 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:37,919 Speaker 6: I guess league reminds me too much of football where 1377 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 6: you stop and then go and then you know th 1378 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 6: American football. 1379 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,480 Speaker 2: Okay, then I need to borrow your brain for this, 1380 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,200 Speaker 2: because you famously turned around the Dallas Mavericks when you 1381 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 2: bought it. 1382 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 16: Right. 1383 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,160 Speaker 2: So rugby is in a really difficult, precarious position where 1384 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 2: it's just not making money. What would you do to 1385 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:52,640 Speaker 2: save it? 1386 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 6: It's hard, right, I mean in the US it's it's 1387 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:59,680 Speaker 6: a mess. But you know, I don't know, honestly, I 1388 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 6: don't know the economics of rugby in New Zealand or 1389 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,400 Speaker 6: Australia were some of the bigger, the bigger rugby countries. 1390 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 6: But it's you've got to make it more fun, not 1391 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,120 Speaker 6: so much on the on the pitch, right, but in 1392 01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 6: the in the stands, because most people like it was 1393 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 6: the same way with basketball. When I got to the MAVs, 1394 01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 6: the people that were at the NBA thought it was 1395 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 6: all about basketball, squeaking, sneakers, you know who had the 1396 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,800 Speaker 6: purest jump shots. But I was like, you don't even 1397 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 6: remember the score of the last game you went to. 1398 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 6: You know, you remember who you were with, you remember 1399 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 6: your buddy that got drunk, you remember the first date. 1400 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 6: And I think rugby is fun, but it's not. It's 1401 01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 6: not as much a spectacle when you go to go 1402 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 6: to a match, right, you know it's outdoors and it's 1403 01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,360 Speaker 6: just a just a different environment now, you know, like 1404 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,960 Speaker 6: soccer football. You know you get the singing and the 1405 01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,480 Speaker 6: fandom and all that. But you know, but that's the 1406 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 6: way it is all the time. It's pretty much the 1407 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 6: same all the time in my experiences. Right, You've got 1408 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,120 Speaker 6: to make it different otherwise you just get the purists 1409 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,880 Speaker 6: that have been going for fifty years that don't want 1410 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 6: to see it changed. And that's what happened to basketball, 1411 01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,480 Speaker 6: where nobody wanted to change. The same thing happened with 1412 01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 6: American baseball, which is boring as shit, right, but they 1413 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,880 Speaker 6: sped it up and it made it so it's more 1414 01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 6: of a party in going to the game, so it 1415 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,920 Speaker 6: was quicker. You know, there's nothing wrong with changing the 1416 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,360 Speaker 6: rules in rugby two right to make it quicker, to 1417 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 6: turn things around. 1418 01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 3: You know. 1419 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 6: You know they went through where you can lift, like 1420 01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 6: when I played the way back when you couldn't lift 1421 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,040 Speaker 6: somebody in the line out. They make changes, right they 1422 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 6: you know, substitutions you couldn't substitute. You know, we've changed 1423 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 6: the game before. You need to change it to make 1424 01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 6: it quicker. But you also need to make the environment 1425 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 6: where fans are going not repetitive all the time. I mean, 1426 01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 6: we Americans look at soccer and rugby overseas and say 1427 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 6: wow that you know, the commitment to the team is incredible. 1428 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,760 Speaker 6: But as an entrepreneur, I look in and say, it's 1429 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 6: the same shit every game. Yeah, you know, maybe somebody 1430 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 6: gets a little drunker and changes the words to a song, 1431 01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,320 Speaker 6: or maybe a bunch of crazies come up with something 1432 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 6: a little bit different, but that's not organized from from 1433 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 6: the whole squad. 1434 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 2: So Mike you, I mean you've just basically hit all 1435 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,840 Speaker 2: the complaints right You've nailed all of the problems right there. 1436 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 2: I mean you've literally explained how to fix. It's like 1437 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,920 Speaker 2: you're in my head. So when you finished with whatever 1438 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 2: it is that you're doing at the moment in America, 1439 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 2: can you just come over here and run rugby if 1440 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:34,040 Speaker 2: you don't mind. 1441 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 6: I wish I could figure out American rugby because I 1442 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,040 Speaker 6: love the sport, but it's tough. 1443 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 2: Listen, hang on a tech mark. I want to take 1444 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 2: a break, but I want to come back and talk 1445 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 2: to you about politics. 1446 01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: Twelve past eight, The mic Husking Breakfast full show podcast 1447 01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio, call it by News Talk Zippy. 1448 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,560 Speaker 2: Right, it's quarter past back with Mark Cuban.

The latest thing I see popping up 1450 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:56,800 Speaker 2: from you is that you guys are trying to get 1451 01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,280 Speaker 2: Trump to cut Yeah, bit of a bit of a 1452 01:05:58,360 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 2: break on the drug fees. How's it going. 1453 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,000 Speaker 6: It's going great. I mean, you know, it's not like 1454 01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 6: you know, New Zealand and most other countries we like 1455 01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,160 Speaker 6: in the United States, when you go to go to 1456 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,200 Speaker 6: a doctor and you get a prescription for a drug, 1457 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 6: the only question they really asked you is what pharmacy 1458 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,240 Speaker 6: do you use? You have no idea what it costs, 1459 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,920 Speaker 6: and you know, you have no idea what you're going 1460 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 6: to pay. And so we changed. We created this company 1461 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 6: called costplus Drugs dot Com so that when you go 1462 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 6: to this website, you know exactly what you're going to 1463 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,600 Speaker 6: pay for your medications. And just doing that was a 1464 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,640 Speaker 6: game changer for the entire country.

Is he just there to make money? 1491 01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 8: Maybe? 1492 01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, I would argue with that. I've known him for 1493 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 6: twenty five years and he's always been this way, right. 1494 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 6: You know, he's a business guy that just wants to 1495 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 6: make as much money as he can, and that's just 1496 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 6: never changed when he got in office. You know, there's 1497 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 6: some things that are good and somethings that are bad, 1498 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 6: like anybody, but that's him. It's all about the dollars. 1499 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,840 Speaker 2: Now, I see you, fluis it a little bit with 1500 01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,520 Speaker 2: getting into politics? Why did you decide not to do it? 1501 01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 6: Because I'm not an idiot and I'm not an asshole, 1502 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,040 Speaker 6: and you know, I just think it. An entrepreneur, I 1503 01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 6: can do more by starting companies that have an impact, 1504 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,360 Speaker 6: like costplus Drugs. You know, I truly think I could 1505 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 6: change American health care and that's a better mission for me. 1506 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 6: I'm just not the political type. I just don't have 1507 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 6: the patience, you know, and plus like I'd rather sing 1508 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,840 Speaker 6: rugby songs after a match and do stupid shit and 1509 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 6: you know, and not have you can't do that and 1510 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 6: be a politician. 1511 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:26,880 Speaker 2: So You've had a little bit to do with both 1512 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:28,960 Speaker 2: the Republicans and the Democrats, and I mean you even 1513 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,959 Speaker 2: toyed with bang an Independent for a bit. The impression 1514 01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:33,719 Speaker 2: that I got from you is that you just found 1515 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,280 Speaker 2: them all really profoundly disappointing on both sides. 1516 01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:37,840 Speaker 17: Is that fair? 1517 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:39,880 Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, for sure. I mean, if it were up 1518 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 6: to me, I'd get rid of both parties in the 1519 01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,320 Speaker 6: United States, I'm an independent. I think for myself, it 1520 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 6: really depends on each individual issue. I'm not gonna, you know, prejudge. 1521 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,280 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say, well, I'm a Republican. I got 1522 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,800 Speaker 6: to think this way or that way. I just you know, 1523 01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 6: I'm an entrepreneur. I just look at things. That's you know, 1524 01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 6: can we solve this problem or can we not? 1525 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 2: Okay, so you business head on, and I suppose just 1526 01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:04,760 Speaker 2: your life head on as well. AI obviously a game change, 1527 01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,080 Speaker 2: but how much of a game change do you think. 1528 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,639 Speaker 6: More than you think? More so than you think from 1529 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:13,200 Speaker 6: a business perspective, whether you're in New Zealand or the States, 1530 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,840 Speaker 6: there's going to be two types of companies, those who 1531 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,320 Speaker 6: are great at AI and those who went out of 1532 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 6: business because they didn't do shit with AI. That's how 1533 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 6: big an impact it's going to be. And for kids, 1534 01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,880 Speaker 6: it's a great democratizer for education and really not just 1535 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,840 Speaker 6: for kids, for everybody. Like three years ago before it 1536 01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,040 Speaker 6: started becoming popular, like you would go to Google and 1537 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,559 Speaker 6: your search engine and you put something in and you'd 1538 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,280 Speaker 6: see fifteen links and you'd have to figure out which 1539 01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,040 Speaker 6: ones are real and which ones are bullshit and go 1540 01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 6: through that right with AI. It kind of goes through 1541 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 6: them all for you and saves you all that time, 1542 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:54,600 Speaker 6: which is like having access to all the world's greatest libraries, 1543 01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 6: every professor, every expert. And that doesn't mean it's going 1544 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 6: to be right every time, because even the experts are wrong, 1545 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,760 Speaker 6: but it allows you because there's more than one. You 1546 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,240 Speaker 6: can go into chat cheapt, you can go into Perplexity, 1547 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 6: you can go into Claude, you can go into Grok, 1548 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 6: you can go into Gemini and get feedback from each 1549 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 6: one of them, which is like getting feedback from a 1550 01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,960 Speaker 6: bunch of experts and then make your own decisions, you know. 1551 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 6: I think if it's if for any kid, adult, whoever 1552 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 6: that's curious, it's like incredible. I love it, right, I 1553 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 6: use it, you know. And in business it's like so 1554 01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,719 Speaker 6: it's like you can ask a question. It's weird sometimes 1555 01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,479 Speaker 6: because I ask you a question that I normally won't 1556 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,840 Speaker 6: ask anybody, but like I'm like, shit, why not ask it? 1557 01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 6: And it comes back with good answers like I had. 1558 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,679 Speaker 6: I was talking to all these politicians in the US 1559 01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,679 Speaker 6: right and it was the governor's meeting all the fifty states, 1560 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 6: and they changed what they wanted to talk to me 1561 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 6: about it last minute while I was in the green room, 1562 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,519 Speaker 6: where they said, okay, we also want you to talk 1563 01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 6: about AI for school kids. Right, I'm like, I didn't 1564 01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 6: know shit about AI for school kids. So I go 1565 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,600 Speaker 6: into chat cheap, give me your ten best ideas of 1566 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:06,559 Speaker 6: using artificial intelligence for kids from you know, five years 1567 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 6: old to eighteen years old. And they gave me these 1568 01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 6: phenomenal ideas, just phenomenal. I went and I just spit 1569 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,640 Speaker 6: them out, and everybody thought I was smart. You know, 1570 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,479 Speaker 6: it was great, even though I didn't know what the 1571 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:20,439 Speaker 6: hell I was talking about ten minutes before. You know, 1572 01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 6: you can get information now. It doesn't mean it's perfect. 1573 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 6: It's going to hallucinate and make mistakes, but you have 1574 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,640 Speaker 6: that ability to ask the same question of more than 1575 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 6: one to compare the output. So I'm a huge fan 1576 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 6: of AI. 1577 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 2: Oh brilliant. Listen, Mike.

This has kind of 1633 01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,599 Speaker 2: been signaled for a little while now that the government's 1634 01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,160 Speaker 2: going to offload a whole bunch of conserve land. It's 1635 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,160 Speaker 2: really more Stewardshipland, which is on the West coast, which 1636 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,640 Speaker 2: has been Stewartshipland. Is a funny little thing because it's 1637 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 2: been in there for a little while since the Conservation 1638 01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,519 Speaker 2: Department was set up in nineteen eighty seven. No one's 1639 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:13,800 Speaker 2: really known what to do with it, so it's just 1640 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:17,439 Speaker 2: kind of sat there. So today Tama Putuck are the 1641 01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,800 Speaker 2: Conservation Minister is going to announce that he's getting he's 1642 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,600 Speaker 2: going to tidy this up. Eighty percent is going to 1643 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:25,640 Speaker 2: be added to National park or conservation parks. Other parcels, though, 1644 01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 2: are going to be disposed of, like you know, sold, 1645 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,880 Speaker 2: I'm assuming sold. Some of it's got a lot of 1646 01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,040 Speaker 2: mining potential, but some of it's going to be transferred 1647 01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:34,920 Speaker 2: to EWE and a portion has been allocated in Lake 1648 01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 2: Tahoo and this is upset New Zealand first because they 1649 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:39,760 Speaker 2: don't like the idea of just giving a whole bunch 1650 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,719 Speaker 2: of land in Night Tahoo. Because of that, Tama Pautuck 1651 01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 2: is basically going to try to get around the full 1652 01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:47,800 Speaker 2: cabinet process, so he doesn't want to have a fight 1653 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:49,320 Speaker 2: with him. He doesn't want to have them stop this, 1654 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 2: so he's going to go via Ordering Council, which is 1655 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 2: very muldooney and that's made Winnip even more angry as 1656 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,400 Speaker 2: you can imagine. We're off to the UK next broad 1657 01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 2: Little News tog. 1658 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:16,280 Speaker 1: Zby Credible compelling The breakfast show You Can't Best It's 1659 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,800 Speaker 1: Hither Duplessy Allen on the Mic Hosking Breakfast with a 1660 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,799 Speaker 1: Vita Retirement Communities Life, Your way news togs Head. 1661 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 2: Be the surcharge ban. If you were hoping for the 1662 01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:28,800 Speaker 2: surcharge ban, I have got some bad news for you. 1663 01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 2: It looks like it might not happen. I personally, I 1664 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,080 Speaker 2: am happy about this because the surcharge band was never 1665 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:34,320 Speaker 2: going to do the thing that we thought it was 1666 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:35,800 Speaker 2: going to do, which will save us money. It was 1667 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:37,880 Speaker 2: just going to bury that that surcharge in the price 1668 01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,760 Speaker 2: of the thing that you're trying to buy. But it 1669 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,240 Speaker 2: looks like ACT may not vote for it in its 1670 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,800 Speaker 2: current form, which is just a blanket ban because the 1671 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 2: Consumer Affairs spokesperson Dr Palmje Palmer was asked about this 1672 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 2: and said the bill will have its next reading in 1673 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 2: the new year and maybe the government should consider the 1674 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,479 Speaker 2: feedback because she sort of which is a hint I suppose, 1675 01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 2: but also new development because we kind of knew that 1676 01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 2: about it about ACTS. But the new development is that 1677 01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 2: New Zealand First is now noticing noting the concern raised 1678 01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:09,040 Speaker 2: by businesses and retailers, so might not get that searcharge 1679 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:10,559 Speaker 2: ban after all. Twenty two away from. 1680 01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,720 Speaker 1: Nine international correspondents with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1681 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 1682 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:18,720 Speaker 2: You k correspondent Rod Little as it us. 1683 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,840 Speaker 17: Hi, Hi Rod, Hey, good morning. How you do it? 1684 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,680 Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. And it looks like the 1685 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:25,479 Speaker 2: junior doctor strike might be averted. 1686 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 17: Well it might be yes, by I think of the 1687 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 17: fact that the government will give in to them. The 1688 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,920 Speaker 17: junior doctors, or as they're now known, resident doctors, and 1689 01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 17: they're just doctors basically who work in hospitals, have been 1690 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 17: looking for a thirty percent pay rise, as have I incidentally, Heather, 1691 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:50,439 Speaker 17: but with no luck whatsoever from anybody. But in the 1692 01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 17: public sector you could ask for that, and who knows, 1693 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:57,360 Speaker 17: you might well get it. They've already been given pay rises, 1694 01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,840 Speaker 17: but they've been asking for thirty percent and said if 1695 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 17: they're not, they're going to have a five day strike 1696 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,840 Speaker 17: right in the middle of the busiest and most crucial 1697 01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,240 Speaker 17: time for their health service of the year, which is 1698 01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 17: round about Christmas. Now where Streeting has said that he 1699 01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 17: has improved and offer to resident doctors. We're going to 1700 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:21,000 Speaker 17: increase the number of places for early career that early 1701 01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 17: career doctors could apply to, and they're going to be 1702 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,560 Speaker 17: given preference overseas doctors. And there will also, as you 1703 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:32,160 Speaker 17: would guess, be some shifting in the pay skills. So 1704 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:37,160 Speaker 17: if they do manage to avert this strike, that is 1705 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,680 Speaker 17: undoubtedly a good thing for the government. What it may 1706 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,080 Speaker 17: do further down the line is set a benchmark on 1707 01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,680 Speaker 17: pay deals which the government is going to have to 1708 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,639 Speaker 17: follow or face more and more trouble. 1709 01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:48,720 Speaker 2: I just wonder if they thought this through with the 1710 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,160 Speaker 2: prioritizing of the UK doctors, because apparently there's this intense 1711 01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,439 Speaker 2: competition for these roles that promote them up. 1712 01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:56,320 Speaker 14: But if you. 1713 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 2: Prioritize the UK doctors over foreign doctors, it makes the 1714 01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,760 Speaker 2: whole thing's appealing for a foreign doctor to come and 1715 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,639 Speaker 2: that's what you people needed the in ages. 1716 01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 17: Yeah, I think that's absolutely true. And your suggestion is 1717 01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 17: have they thought it through. I wouldn't have thought so 1718 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,840 Speaker 17: for a moment. It's something which plays a lot to 1719 01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:19,520 Speaker 17: the gallery here, which is prioritizing British workers over overseas 1720 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,439 Speaker 17: workers when in the long run we do have to 1721 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,640 Speaker 17: do that. But you know, if it leads to a 1722 01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,760 Speaker 17: crisis in the health service with people from India, Singapore 1723 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:31,560 Speaker 17: and South Korea not coming here as they used to do, 1724 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 17: then that would be a problem. 1725 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I'd imagine. So now Sharon Davies Peer. 1726 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:43,920 Speaker 17: Now yeah, renominated disappear in this year's list. She will 1727 01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,960 Speaker 17: take up her role next August. She's a swimmer. She 1728 01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,960 Speaker 17: won a silver medal in nineteen eighty at the I 1729 01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:55,599 Speaker 17: think the Moscow Olympics, wasn't it nineteen eighty and as 1730 01:18:55,640 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 17: one of various Commonwealth medals. But really her honor has 1731 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:06,920 Speaker 17: come as the consequence of being a doubty fighter, as 1732 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 17: a gender critical feminist protecting women's spaces in sport. And 1733 01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,479 Speaker 17: this is what I think is interesting. I mean, she 1734 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 17: has undoubtedly taken an awful, one of the most hideous 1735 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,160 Speaker 17: abuse from the more extreme wings of the trans lobby, 1736 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,560 Speaker 17: and she has fought for her corner four years. I 1737 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,439 Speaker 17: don't think she would have been made a baroness four 1738 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:34,879 Speaker 17: years ago. You know, I think time time has really shifted, 1739 01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,000 Speaker 17: that the mood has shifted on this issue, and the 1740 01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,240 Speaker 17: idea that the most vocal, with the possible exception of 1741 01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:48,800 Speaker 17: JK Rowling, the most vocal objection to trans ideology from 1742 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,439 Speaker 17: a woman, could be elevated to the House of Lords 1743 01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,280 Speaker 17: is quite remarkable this year. 1744 01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:55,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is a point that you made 1745 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:57,280 Speaker 2: earlier this week, and I think you bang on, Rod, 1746 01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,600 Speaker 2: thank you so much. Enjoy yourself. That's Rod Littlaure UK correspondent. 1747 01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,240 Speaker 2: It is quite remarkable, don't you think how the debate 1748 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,960 Speaker 2: on trans issues has shifted, as Rod says, just in 1749 01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:07,800 Speaker 2: the last few years with the Cast report and even 1750 01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,720 Speaker 2: even you know, our government moving on banning the old 1751 01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,800 Speaker 2: what are their puberty blockers for the kids. I've got 1752 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 2: a couple of pieces of retail news for you. So 1753 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,760 Speaker 2: the first one is, Lord, did we fizz for the Ike? 1754 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 2: Like we have bought so much Ike? We've actually overwhelmed them. 1755 01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,240 Speaker 2: So they say they cannot actually keep up with the orders. 1756 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 2: Their operations now are taking longer than anticipated to meet 1757 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 2: the orders. They're learning quickly and adapting the operations to 1758 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 2: meet this incredible level of demand. And if you have 1759 01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 2: placed an order, they're going to sort it out in 1760 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 2: the next few days, so hopefully before Christmas, if you 1761 01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 2: need it before Christmas, although I mean, who buys a 1762 01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 2: bookshelf right for someone for Christmas? It's probably just for you. 1763 01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 2: The other one is faradays now, I don't know if 1764 01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,120 Speaker 2: you've kept across this well, I'm getting really pumped about. 1765 01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,680 Speaker 2: I don't even like going to a department store necessarily 1766 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,840 Speaker 2: as slightly overwhelming, but I'm getting really pumped about this thing. 1767 01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 2: This is the one that's opening at one three to 1768 01:20:57,479 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 2: one Queen Street, which is an Auckland which is a 1769 01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:03,920 Speaker 2: heritage listed building. So it's a beautiful building. And they've 1770 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,800 Speaker 2: released some of the concepts of what they're going to 1771 01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:07,240 Speaker 2: do and then a couple of pictures of what the 1772 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,200 Speaker 2: design is going to look like because the construction has 1773 01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,360 Speaker 2: started and it looks great. So they're going to have 1774 01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:13,280 Speaker 2: the luxury and the local goods. They're going to have 1775 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 2: a peril home where beauty instare, dining, valet parking, regular 1776 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 2: store events, activations. The central feature is going to be 1777 01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 2: something like a like a spiral staircase, which is you know, 1778 01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 2: a bit bougie and spending a bit of dollars on this, 1779 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 2: isn't it. What they're doing is that kind of that. 1780 01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:33,240 Speaker 2: They've got the architects doing it. The architects are trying 1781 01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:35,320 Speaker 2: to take the heritage idea and then put it into 1782 01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,719 Speaker 2: it like a bit of a modern a modern vibe. 1783 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 2: But when you I mean, the question that I asked 1784 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,800 Speaker 2: when I first heard that this was opening was well, 1785 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:44,560 Speaker 2: why are you opening on Queen Street when there have 1786 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 2: been There was was Smith and Coe's you know, didn't 1787 01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:49,080 Speaker 2: work on Queen Street and the ennul bunch of department 1788 01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:50,920 Speaker 2: stores have closed down. Is this a smart idea? But 1789 01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,040 Speaker 2: it seems that what they're going to do differently is 1790 01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 2: give you attention. It's going to be customer service. Is 1791 01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 2: that that's what they think is missing in all the 1792 01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:01,719 Speaker 2: other departments by the looks of things. So the minute 1793 01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 2: you walk in with your bulging pockets and your Louis 1794 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 2: Verton bag full of dollars that you're not waiting around 1795 01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:09,320 Speaker 2: that the Hello. 1796 01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 18: Are they going to have a greet? I like it 1797 01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:11,280 Speaker 18: at the Disney Store. 1798 01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,400 Speaker 2: I think it's going to be exactly like the Disney Store, 1799 01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,439 Speaker 2: very very similar. Yeah, what do you want? Where can 1800 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:17,880 Speaker 2: I take you? 1801 01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:18,760 Speaker 12: What can you? 1802 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 2: Probably even have a personal assistant? And this is this, 1803 01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 2: I mean think about this, all right, You and I 1804 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 2: can just walk into as color, go wear the white 1805 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,360 Speaker 2: T shirt, Go get them sorted like mediums and whatever. 1806 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:28,720 Speaker 6: Buy it. 1807 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,559 Speaker 2: But if you've got loads of dollars that you're ready 1808 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,600 Speaker 2: to drop, I mean, you want to be treated like 1809 01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 2: a king and a queen. And that's what they're going 1810 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:36,160 Speaker 2: to do. Immediate service. 1811 01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:39,800 Speaker 18: So I'm punpihed like your AI shopping assistant, except real 1812 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 18: and better has come gone from full circle. 1813 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,759 Speaker 2: That's right, thank you, Glenn sixteen away from Nome. 1814 01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:51,519 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 1815 01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:52,280 Speaker 1: By News Talks. 1816 01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 2: That'd be gosh, this is such a good suggestion. I 1817 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,759 Speaker 2: can't believe no one's thought of this at the school 1818 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,400 Speaker 2: lunch level. Heather. If you want to solve the problem 1819 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 2: with the moldy school lunches, why don't we just put 1820 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,640 Speaker 2: a date on the school lunches. It's simple, Allan, you 1821 01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:08,240 Speaker 2: should be running the school lunches. Thank you for that idea. 1822 01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 2: We will suggest it to them. By the way, I 1823 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 2: don't think the school lunch thing is finished because I 1824 01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:14,120 Speaker 2: think Peggy the principal's got to be in her bonnet 1825 01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:15,760 Speaker 2: about it, and she might in fact be coming back 1826 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 2: for David Seymour. So Lord, see where that goes. I've 1827 01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,360 Speaker 2: been telling you the last few days about the Annaka 1828 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,400 Speaker 2: Wells big spend and keep the government Limo's waiting outside 1829 01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:29,120 Speaker 2: the NRL for ten hours saga over in Australia, there 1830 01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 2: is a really weird side story that's just popped up 1831 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 2: in this involving the media. So news dot com in Australia, 1832 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,040 Speaker 2: as in news dot com dot Au, which is owned 1833 01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 2: by News Corp, was the first one to break the 1834 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,200 Speaker 2: story about her, which is and where they started. The 1835 01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:48,439 Speaker 2: things developed since then. But they started with one hundred 1836 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 2: thousand dollars that she blew taxpayer money on a trip 1837 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 2: to New York last Tuesday. Let me just think about that. 1838 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,559 Speaker 2: One hundred thousand dollars on a trip to New York. 1839 01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,800 Speaker 2: Mental anyway, so obviously a story. So they pop it 1840 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:00,760 Speaker 2: up on news dot com dot com and then they 1841 01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 2: spike it a few hours later. So when you go 1842 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,360 Speaker 2: to click the link, and this is within the same day, 1843 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:07,800 Speaker 2: a few hours later you click the link, nothing, it's dead. 1844 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 2: There's no story. But what had happened by then is 1845 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,880 Speaker 2: it had already been sent around by all the press gallery. 1846 01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 2: They've got a little in Australia and Camber, they've got 1847 01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,000 Speaker 2: a little like messaging thing that they do with each other, 1848 01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,519 Speaker 2: and about two hundred of them had already seen the story. 1849 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 2: So the next morning, this is Wednesday, there's no link. 1850 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,439 Speaker 2: So t twogb just runs the story like it's new, 1851 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,320 Speaker 2: and it runs it as an exclusive basically copies the story, 1852 01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,960 Speaker 2: pretends it's its own. Then everyone piles and and then 1853 01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,920 Speaker 2: it becomes the massive yarn that it is over there 1854 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 2: with the taxis beg kept waiting and all the events 1855 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:40,160 Speaker 2: and all the stuff. Then Friday evening, so fast forward 1856 01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,240 Speaker 2: three days, three days after the initial news dot com 1857 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 2: dot au story, they finally get into it again at 1858 01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,080 Speaker 2: News Corp. They finally report it again for the first 1859 01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,760 Speaker 2: time in The Daily Telegraph, another one of their publications. 1860 01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,880 Speaker 2: But now they're going soft on the story that they 1861 01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:55,840 Speaker 2: originally started. And on Sunday, a couple of days after that, 1862 01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 2: the Daily Telegraph's Weekend National Weekend political editor James Campbell 1863 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 2: actually comes out in defense of Annika Wells, saying, layoff Anika. 1864 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,880 Speaker 2: She's done absolutely nothing wrong. So you, I mean, you'd 1865 01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,080 Speaker 2: be fair enough to look at it and go, what 1866 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,439 Speaker 2: the hell has just happened here? You broke the story. 1867 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,000 Speaker 2: Now you're defending her. Now you're not running the original story. 1868 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,600 Speaker 2: What apparently happened behind the scenes is that an executive 1869 01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,400 Speaker 2: saw the original story and pulled it offline. Because the 1870 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 2: reason that Annaka Wells was in New York was to 1871 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,960 Speaker 2: promote the government's social media ban at the un and 1872 01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 2: NewsCorp are the ones who started calling for the social 1873 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,080 Speaker 2: media band, so she was just basically helping them with 1874 01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,760 Speaker 2: the thing that they were campaigning on, and the executive 1875 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,160 Speaker 2: thought that having a crack at her for the trip 1876 01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,960 Speaker 2: jarred with their advocacy for the band. And also when 1877 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 2: she was in New York, she met with one of them, 1878 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:45,479 Speaker 2: and there are photos of the meeting with one of them. 1879 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,599 Speaker 2: So it all gets very very complicated. But the problem 1880 01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,000 Speaker 2: that they've got is a problem that everybody's got around 1881 01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:54,240 Speaker 2: the world. And this is not great. This erodes a 1882 01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 2: media trust, doesn't it. Because you're a taxpayer reading this, 1883 01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,599 Speaker 2: you go, oh, look they're having a crack at Anaka 1884 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:00,719 Speaker 2: on now they're defending Anaka. What's going? Oh they actually 1885 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 2: mates with Anaka, So thanks a lot. News dot com 1886 01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:04,840 Speaker 2: dot au ten. 1887 01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,919 Speaker 1: Two Heather du Pussy Allen on the mic asking Breakfast 1888 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:12,720 Speaker 1: were the defender and news togs dead b Heather, this is. 1889 01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 2: To answer my question actually, which I asked ages ago, 1890 01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,479 Speaker 2: what do you if you because Glenn and I are 1891 01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,800 Speaker 2: now in a difficult situation where we've been loving the 1892 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,640 Speaker 2: kiwifruit and the Kiwifruit is the superfruit that apparently, if 1893 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,760 Speaker 2: you eat that, your whole life is vastly improved and 1894 01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:27,680 Speaker 2: you can sleep and do all the things function the 1895 01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:29,920 Speaker 2: human functions that you need to do just so much better. 1896 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:31,600 Speaker 2: But now it's not on the shelf.

This is Polk Country Sheriff Grady Judd. 1905 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:56,760 Speaker 19: Now. 1906 01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,280 Speaker 2: He did a press conference after eight members of a 1907 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,120 Speaker 2: youth NF bell team were arrested for stealing thousands of 1908 01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:04,800 Speaker 2: dollars of sport equipment while at an away game, and 1909 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:08,120 Speaker 2: America is happy with his explanation of why and cracking 1910 01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:09,160 Speaker 2: down on youth crime. 1911 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:12,599 Speaker 7: So when we notify the coach who is responsible for them, 1912 01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 7: you would think he would be interested in holding them 1913 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:21,120 Speaker 7: accountable and responsible. Instead, he goes to the deputies and 1914 01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:24,519 Speaker 7: begs them not to take these young men into custody. 1915 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,720 Speaker 2: Any similarities between him and the turnaround in youth crime here, 1916 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 2: minds you. Judd also went viral a couple of months 1917 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:32,640 Speaker 2: ago when he said this. 1918 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,240 Speaker 22: If you need to shoot somebody, shoot him a lot. 1919 01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:39,320 Speaker 22: He plans on having a gun doing all the shooting, 1920 01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,840 Speaker 22: and you're just the setting duck where the ducks need 1921 01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:43,559 Speaker 22: to shoot back. 1922 01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:48,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so you can decide. I mean, you know, it's advice. 1923 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,920 Speaker 2: Everybody's got advice. You can decide for yourself whether you're 1924 01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:53,680 Speaker 2: into that advice or not. I need to tell you 1925 01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:56,080 Speaker 2: what's going on with I think this is my favorite 1926 01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,000 Speaker 2: video of the day. I often find myself having a 1927 01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 2: favorite one. This one is what's happened to Elon Musk. 1928 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 2: It's the robot demo mountdown. If you haven't looked at it, 1929 01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,559 Speaker 2: I mean basically, what this is doing is it's calling 1930 01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 2: bs on all of Elon Musk's claims with Elon reckons, 1931 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:13,120 Speaker 2: the robots are going to take over and do all 1932 01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,280 Speaker 2: of our jobs for us. Remember he had the one 1933 01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:17,759 Speaker 2: where he had the what if they called the Optimist 1934 01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 2: or something like that. Yeah, Optimist, they had the robot 1935 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 2: folding the washing and everybody was like, wow, that's amazing. 1936 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,679 Speaker 2: Oh well, it turns out it was actually remote controlled, 1937 01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:27,880 Speaker 2: So nothing wow about that at all. It's when they 1938 01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 2: can do it by themselves that it matters. Anyway. So 1939 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,840 Speaker 2: on Saturday they had a bit of a demonstration at 1940 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 2: the Tesla showroom and the robot was supposed to hand 1941 01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 2: out bottles of water, but all of a sudden, it 1942 01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:41,559 Speaker 2: just fails to grab one, sort of jigs the table 1943 01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,479 Speaker 2: a bit, knocks most of the bottles over. Then, in 1944 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:48,320 Speaker 2: a very weirdly human move, puts its hands to its 1945 01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,920 Speaker 2: head and makes emotion resembling lifting a pair of goggles off, 1946 01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 2: and then crashes to the floor, which suggests yet again 1947 01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,599 Speaker 2: that it may in fact be remote controlled. Because of course, 1948 01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:01,519 Speaker 2: what would the human do if the human was sitting 1949 01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:05,000 Speaker 2: there with one of those virtual reality headsets on and 1950 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,320 Speaker 2: things started to go awry and didn't work, what would 1951 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,360 Speaker 2: the human do. The human would put their hands to 1952 01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:12,000 Speaker 2: their head and take the virtual headset off. So that's 1953 01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:14,760 Speaker 2: what the robot was doing. So elon Musk, once again, 1954 01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:18,360 Speaker 2: all the big talk not managing to deliver at the moment.
