1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: It's no fluff, just facts and fierce debate. Heather Duplicy 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Allen on the Mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: doing real estate differently since nineteen seventy three News togs Head. 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 2: Been morning and welcome coming up today? How good will 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: that RMA reveal be this afternoon? Will get you the details? 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: How worried should we be about the seven Chinese warships 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 2: shadowing our naval vessel or are we actually the ones 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: causing trouble just by being there? Good news for value 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: add and will good news for the hurricanes at least 10 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: at least as far as cash goes. And Jimmy Barnes 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: is in for a chat. 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 3: After a Heather Duplicy Allen. 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 2: Right, if you've been following this debate about whether our 14 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: summer holidays in New Zealand are too long, you'll have 15 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 2: noticed that Toss Brumley, who's the guy who kicked off 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 2: the debate with his column, has said nothing publicly since 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: his column. Now I'm told the reason for that is 18 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: because of the heat that he's getting, and the same 19 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: thing happened with an earlier LinkedIn post that he did 20 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: on the same subject. He copped heat, which I think 21 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 2: is quite bizarre, given that this is not life or death. 22 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: This is not about politics, it's not the treaty, it's 23 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: not COVID. It's just to chat about summer holidays. But 24 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: apparently some of us, and perhaps lots of us, feel 25 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: really strongly that we deserve those summer holidays enough at 26 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: least to bludgeon him with our opinion. Now, Simon Bridges 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: backs him on this. He reckons the view is that 28 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: we're on holiday until March, and international business people see 29 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: us as lifestylers who are more interested in work life 30 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 2: balance than in growing the economy. The Prime Minister, Christopher 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 2: Luxon kind of falls on his side too. He's going 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: to work through to Christmas. Even then he's going to 33 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 2: take a couple of weeks, get back on the fourth 34 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: or the fifth of January. But I'm going to take 35 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: the opposite view on this. If you want that summer break, 36 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: if you can take that summer break, you should take it. 37 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: I mean, Mike Hoskins copping it a wee bit. I 38 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: see in some of the news coverage. Mike deserves every 39 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: single day of the seven weeks that he's taking. I 40 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: bet you there was a day when he worked every 41 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: hour that God gave him. But he doesn't have to anymore. 42 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: He is now the best in the business. He's made 43 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: his money, he's earned the right to take the break 44 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: if he wants to take the break. And I think 45 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: the same is true for every SMEO owner out there. 46 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: If you need the money, if you're hustling for for 47 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: business work, open your shop, get on the tools. But 48 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: if you don't need the money, if you've got enough 49 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: of it, take your summer. I mean, you count how 50 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: many summers you have on this planet. It's actually not 51 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: a lot at all. So work while you're young, bust 52 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: your butt to make your way. But once you have it, 53 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: enjoy what you've earned. 54 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 3: News of the world in ninety seconds. 55 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: Zelenski is in Downing Street meeting with Starmer and Macron 56 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: and Mertz to talk peace. 57 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 4: Is scoring enough in our means?

Thailand has 77 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: launched air strikes on Cambodia on the border. 78 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 7: The Cambodian side open fire in many additional areas. At dawn, 79 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 7: Thailand has retaliated according to our response gesture, focusing on 80 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 7: the military targets that launched the attacks on Thailand. 81 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: No surprise that hasn't gone down well with Cambodia. 82 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 9: But Cambodia calls on the international community to strongly condemn 83 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 9: the violation of the Joint Declaration of the Cambodia Thailand 84 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 9: Peace Agreement.

I mean a 93 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 2: lot of money. Have you seen how much Mariah Carey 94 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: makes off her one? And that is news of the 95 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 2: world in ninety seconds. Now this morning, I think maybe 96 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: last couple of hours or so, news has broken that 97 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Netflix deal has just got a lot more 98 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: interesting because Paramount has now made a hostile takeover bit 99 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: to cut out Netflix. Now you remember Paramount was the 100 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 2: first one actually to express interest in Warner Brothers, and 101 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: then that got declined, and then the Netflix came in, 102 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 2: and now the Paramount's going for it again. Made a 103 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: direct offer as shareholders of thirty dollars per year for 104 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: the entire company and that includes the TV networks. Things 105 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: said its proposal was a superior alternative, delivers more cash 106 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: up front to shareholders, great a prospect of approval by regulators, 107 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: as some have predicted, Trump might prefer this one. He's 108 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: already flagged there could be a problem with Netflix's purchase, 109 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: just given how enormous that company would be. Paramount reckons 110 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: It's deal values the company at about one hundred and eight 111 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,679 Speaker 2: billion US dollars, but Netflix is only at about eighty 112 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,119 Speaker 2: three billion, So true competition on the way that twelve 113 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: past six. 114 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 115 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: by News Talks ev. 116 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: Here the New Zealand heads off over Christmas in a 117 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: way that no other country does. As a person who 118 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 2: runs a twenty four seven business is so frustrating. If 119 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: we want to be a successful country, then productivity is 120 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: crucial and will only be as successful as our desire 121 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: to be. Judy, thank you. It's called a pass. Andrew 122 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 2: callaher sure in partners to us. Morning Andrew, Very good morning, 123 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: Heather Right. What do you make of the am Z 124 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: card spending for November? 125 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: I love this. This is one of my favorite pieces 126 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: of data. Headed this AMZ card spending. It's a pot 127 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 4: poor ree of spending information at the headline level. The 128 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 4: zero point seven sent lift from October to November. They 129 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 4: report this on a three month seasonally adjusted average, but 130 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 4: spending up three point nine percent on this time last year, 131 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 4: which is okay. But the key takeaway if you're going 132 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: to zone out for the next two minutes out there, 133 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 4: the key takeaway here, spending is definitely picking up. And 134 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: if you look at it through a cyclical lens, the 135 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: economic site, if you think about the economic cycle changing, 136 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 4: durable spending is up eight percent. Now that tells you 137 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 4: something is happening. All categories, almost all categories are showing 138 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 4: it up with trend. The only one, and I have 139 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 4: highlighted this before, is a peril. It's the real lag. 140 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 4: It has stabilized, but times have been particularly tough for 141 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: apparel retailers. They do aim zid, doing what they call 142 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 4: a proxy for real spending as well, so they take 143 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: the inflation out of it. Now it has ticked up, 144 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 4: it's potentially significant if it continues. Now, just looking at 145 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: a few little details here, have the consumables up three 146 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: point one percent. In there, you've got groceries three and 147 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 4: a half. That's interesting because spending growth there is lower 148 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 4: than food price inflation, so food place inflation are going 149 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: higher than the amount we're spending. Pet shops. I've raised 150 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 4: it before with Mike Heather, what the heck is going 151 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 4: on here? It's still storming high. We're absolutely loving spending 152 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 4: money on the little critters or the big critters or 153 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 4: whatever you've got. Hobby, toy and game stores are up 154 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 4: twenty seven percent, so wholesome fun at home appears to 155 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: be in Heather. Second hand stores still feature up ten 156 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 4: point nine percent. We are not spending money at camera 157 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: and photographic stores. They're down nine to half percent. At 158 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 4: wonder whether the iPhone cameras are just a little bit 159 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: too good. Hospo up two and a half percent, below inflation, 160 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 4: but within their fast food up five point nine love 161 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 4: and the Burghers household durables. Fireplace stores are doing very well, 162 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: which suggests that there's more rent going on. But then 163 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 4: I look at the glass, paint and wallpaper that isn't 164 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 4: going very well, so I'm not sure if the reno 165 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 4: theory is solid. Swimming pools, you were just mentioning swimming pools. 166 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 4: Everybody's getting swimming, and swimming pools go up like over 167 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: twenty percent. Still a strong lift in live theater and 168 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 4: ticketing up twenty one point eight percent, so we're loving 169 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 4: the shows. But the final point here, on a slightly 170 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 4: more serious level, architect engineering and surveying spend is up 171 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 4: nine point six percent year on a year. That suggests 172 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 4: better times they had for construction. Because if you're doing 173 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 4: the spending at the architects of the engineer service suggests 174 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 4: you're going to you're going to do some building, right, So. 175 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: I quite like look at that, Yeah, very much. 176 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 12: So. 177 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: The farmer confidence still up, but just coming back a 178 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: wee bit. 179 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just coming off a little bit. So look, 180 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: we've seen the lift in business confidence, we've seen the 181 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 4: lift in consumer confidence. We're getting a bit more perky 182 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: about the housing market. What about the farmers. Well, this 183 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 4: is the last edition of Rabibank Rural Confidence Survey for 184 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 4: the year. It's good news. Farmer confidence is still elevated, 185 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 4: but down from the sort of record highs over the 186 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 4: last three quarters. Net readings in therapians plus forty it's 187 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 4: now plus twenty eight, so just coming off a little bit. 188 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 4: But fifty percent of New Zealand farmers are expecting the 189 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 4: performance of the broader agri economy to improve in the 190 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 4: year ahead. Last quarter that was fifty one and a half, 191 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 4: so hardly changed. But if you've been following the global 192 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 4: dairy trade auctions, it's not really surprising to see dair 193 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 4: dairy farmer confidence a little lower, significantly lower actually since 194 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 4: September fall at headline level here dairy farmers plus fifty 195 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 4: four to plus twenty two. Remember you've got the cheeky 196 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 4: little downgrade to the forecast farm get milk price in 197 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: there as well. You've got a slightly quirky outcome here. 198 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 4: If we just look at the positive farmers, the main 199 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: reason quoted for their optimism is rising commodity prices. If 200 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: we then look at the negative farmers, the main reason 201 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: that their negative is falling commodity prices. So clearly different 202 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 4: people see different things, don't they. Growers and sheep and 203 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: bee farmers are now significantly more up beaten their dairy 204 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 4: farming colleagues. And the one outcome that I was particularly 205 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 4: pleased to see how the investments intentions are looking. Good. 206 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 4: Investment intent across all farmers now as high as it's 207 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 4: been at any stage since mid twenty seventeen, which points, hopefully, 208 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 4: if it is good investment, points to improve productivity. So yeah, 209 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 4: a little bit of a dip at the headline that 210 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 4: historically still very high. Happy days. But we'd all like 211 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 4: to see those dairy prices stabilize in the dairy farmers 212 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 4: not go into a slump, wouldn't we. 213 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 2: Too, right, I can give me the numbers, Andrew. 214 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 4: The US markets have started the week just a little 215 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: bit softer.

Then ken I started working two thousand and two, 238 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: two weeks leave was standard. Actually I got no leave 239 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 2: over Christmas then because I was young and had to 240 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 2: butt my bust my butt. It's it's it's all of 241 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: the people who've kind of, you know, done the hard yards, 242 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: who are taking the long breaks, isn't it. 243 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Six twenty one, The Vosky Records Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 244 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 1: Power by the News talks at Me. 245 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: I actually have a theory, you know how, Andrew was 246 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: just talking about what's going on with the pet shops. 247 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's meaning something that's happening particularly 248 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 2: recently or just a kind of general long term trend. 249 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: But I have a theory on what's going on here, 250 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 2: which is that we're not having babies. So if we're 251 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: not having baby because the old birth rates coming back, 252 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: isn't it. We've seen that this is happening across western world. 253 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: So you're not having babies. But then of course the 254 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: two of you get a bit lonely, childless couple. So 255 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 2: what do you do? You get a dog? Don't you 256 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: get yourself a dog? Maybe you get yourself two dogs. 257 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: And then of course you find you've got lots of 258 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: money and you want to make a fuss, so then 259 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: you start spending money on the dogs like the children. 260 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: This is what the boss. The boss boss is completely mental. 261 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 2: He is completely He's got two dogs, is completely mental. 262 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: For them. They have birthday parties with surprises and prisons. 263 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: So the dogs are the children. So then you go 264 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: instead of going to the kiddie store, the toy store, 265 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: you go to the bloody older petch shop and blow 266 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: all your cash on that. 267 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 10: And if I've known what I know now back then, 268 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 10: I would have might have done that. I would had 269 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 10: dogs instead of kids. 270 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 2: Because what's the lifespan of a dog? Sam ten and twelve? 271 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 2: So done by ten and twelve years? I mean, we're 272 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: stuck with these guys for at least twenty five. 273 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 10: Exactly, if you don't like your dog, you only have 274 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 10: to wait a short amount. 275 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: Of time for them to pop up. 276 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 10: I've seen to never be rid of these other posts. 277 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: And then now we found out the brains only start 278 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: working fully when they're about thirty five, so that's a 279 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 2: really long commitment to children.

He went viral 291 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: last week for saying on Colbert that America had elected 292 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: a king, and this time he was speaking about the 293 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 2: immigration policies when he was at the British American Business Councils. 294 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: From the neighborhood, they get a few customers. 295 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 14: The World Cup is coming to. 296 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: And he's loving it.

It's because we don't take holidays, and 301 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: that's why we're leading the country out of the mess 302 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: that we're in.

I think, you know, it's 437 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 11: really difficult to overestimate quite what a shock this has been. 438 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 4: This is to. 439 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 11: Suddenly have this significant reversal of US foreign policy towards 440 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 11: what were once it's European allies. And had been since 441 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 11: nineteen forty five. 442 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 2: It's very difficult. 443 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 11: I remember back in was a February when Vice President 444 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 11: Advance came to Munich and at a conference there he 445 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 11: criticized Europe, said that it was suppressing political opponents. There 446 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 11: was censorship in the press. A lot of people said, well, 447 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 11: that's just term, it's not really you know, doesn't speak 448 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 11: for the whole of the US administration. 449 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 16: Well, this new. 450 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 11: Policy document, which which really does outline foreign policy thinking 451 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 11: and the Americans' priorities, this is confirmed that it's been 452 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 11: a real shake for Europe to read this. They've always 453 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 11: been thinking hither that they could somehow get Trump to 454 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 11: come back on side, appeal to him that it's better 455 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 11: to have Europe as an ally to have it as 456 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 11: a trading partner. But this that it became so clear 457 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 11: when Europe was accused of neglect of Western values, of 458 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 11: a loss of natural identity, that it was facing economic stagnation. 459 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 11: This is really woken people up. And in fact, I 460 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 11: think perhaps one of the biggest voices that we've heard 461 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 11: what's change has come from the Italian Prime Minister. She 462 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 11: had been championed sort of the Trump whisperer or she 463 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 11: has now said that Europe must develop what she called 464 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 11: an autonomous security defense. So it is to stand up 465 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 11: and achieve independence from the US. 466 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: Well as well should I I would imagine trouble with 467 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 2: Notre Dame is now too many people want to come 468 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: and look at the thing. 469 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 11: I know, you know, a year ago exactly it opened. 470 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 11: Since it opened, it's had eleven million visitors. Now that's 471 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 11: way more than they got at the Eiffel Tower or 472 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 11: at the Louver. If you think back to before that 473 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,959 Speaker 11: fire exactly five years ago, there were about eight to 474 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 11: nine million people coming through a year. So they've had 475 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 11: this huge number of people come in, you know, and 476 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 11: even the bits that you pay for. So there's two 477 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 11: towers at the front. They were just reopened in September. 478 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 11: They've already seen seventy five thousand visitors, so you're huge 479 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 11: numbers of people going in. A lot of criticism that 480 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 11: they are not managing the crowds. When you go in, 481 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 11: it really is crowded. They slow down the flow of 482 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 11: visitors during mass, but it's still not enough. But if 483 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 11: you're thinking of racing over heather, if you might want 484 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 11: to wait a bit, not just because of the crowds, 485 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 11: but there's still a lot of work to be done. 486 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 11: It's not really going to be finished until about twenty 487 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 11: twenty eight. But if you want to dip into your pocket, 488 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 11: Notre Dame still needs about two hundred and eighty million 489 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 11: New Zealand dollars to get the work finished. 490 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 2: She she is expensive, isn't she? 491 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 16: Now? 492 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: How are the French going to handle not being able 493 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: to have a fag while while they have an a ski? 494 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 11: And this caught everyone by surprise really. 495 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: It was part of a law which. 496 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 11: Was introduced back in May this year which extended the 497 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 11: ban on smoking to include outdoor spaces and that was beaches, parks, 498 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 11: who outside schools and bus stops and no one really 499 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 11: took much notice of. It also included ski slopes and 500 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 11: from now on it's going to be a ban on 501 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 11: smoking on ski lifts, when you're queuing for a ski 502 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 11: lift and when you're on piece. So it's an extension 503 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 11: really of that band which France brought them back in 504 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 11: two thousand and seven, which is banned on smoking in 505 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 11: restaurants and in bars. It's going to be tough, you 506 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 11: know for some people who are up there on the 507 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 11: slopes and just want to stand at the top and 508 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 11: as you say, have a fag. But the publicity they're 509 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 11: putting out about it, Heather is let the view take 510 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 11: your breath away as it is. 511 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, good luck with that, hey, thanks very much, Catherine, 512 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 2: look after yourself. Catherine Field, France correspondent. Yeah, listen, I 513 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 2: feel like I should mention this only because I speak 514 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 2: to Helen Clark from time to time. I mean, I'm 515 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: not like, I don't consider myself to be a friend 516 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: of Helen Clarks or anything like that, but very occasionally 517 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 2: there's something that she wants to get into the news 518 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: or you know, an editorial she wants to send through 519 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: to the Herald or whatever or you know newstalk ZB 520 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 2: and I'll be the happy recipient of the things she's 521 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: got to say. And also she shares a birthday with 522 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 2: my son, so you know, every once a year she 523 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: will get a picture she doesn't actually necessarily want of 524 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: a three year old four year old next year anyway. 525 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: So I talked to her from time to time, and 526 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: when I do have a chat to I always ask 527 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: after her father. So it was with very sad heart 528 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: that I heard yesterday that her father had died at 529 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: the weekend one hundred and three is an absolutely brilliant innings. 530 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: I mean, lord, you know, yeah, I mean it's a 531 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: toss up whether you actually want to live that long, 532 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 2: Let's be honest about it. But if you had the choice, 533 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: you'd want to at least like if you could, you'd 534 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 2: want the choice, wouldn't you? Anyway? I know that, you know, 535 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: having been Prime minister. Not everybody's going to be a 536 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 2: fan of Helen. Some people are going to be fans 537 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 2: some people and I'm personally I'm a fan of what 538 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: Helen did, some of the stuff that she did. But 539 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 2: what I will say is you cannot dispute the fact 540 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 2: that she was a fantastic daughter. And may we all 541 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: have children like Helen Clark, because every time I caught 542 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 2: up with her, it would be I'm just with dad 543 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: at the moment, I'm off to why he beach to 544 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: cook dad some food. I'm helping dad out, And that 545 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 2: is really at the end of the day, is that 546 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: not the most important stuff is family? So thoughts to 547 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 2: Helen Clark and her family at the moment. Nine Away 548 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 2: from seven Heather Duplicy. 549 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: Ellen on the Mike Hosking Breakfast with Vida, retirement, communities, 550 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: news dogs, head. 551 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: Be We've got trapped by this thing. Hey, Jimmy Barnes 552 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: is going to be with us after eight o'clock. That 553 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: man is do you know what he's doing. He caught 554 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 2: the news because it's been out for a little bit. 555 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: But he's going to redo the iconic album for the 556 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 2: working class man, play the whole thing from start to finish. 557 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 2: So we have a chat him about that. And I mean, 558 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 2: because you think about how long ago he did that. 559 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: It takes certain something to have a voice that still 560 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: manages to hit all those notes. But he's got it 561 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 2: six away from seven. 562 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 3: All the ins and the ouse. 563 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: It's the fiz with business fiber, take your business productivity 564 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: to the next level. 565 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 2: Right for everyone complaining right now about the price of beef, 566 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 2: and you are right to complain. Some of your favorite 567 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 2: snacks have officially topped steak on the list of products 568 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: to hit your wallets the hardest. Most of this has 569 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: got to do with the price of coco, which is 570 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: just out the gate. The shortage has led to record 571 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 2: price hikes. The UK Office of National Statistics says chocolate 572 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: has on average gone up by fifteen percent this year. 573 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: Now you look at that numbering fifteen percent? Who cares? Well, 574 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 2: what about this number? A ton of coco usually trades 575 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 2: at between about five thousand and maybe, let's say eight 576 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 2: and a half thousand New Zealand dollars. It's currently twenty 577 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 2: two thousand New Zealand dollars for a ton. You only 578 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 2: have to look at a block of Wittikers being eight 579 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: dollars fifty in countdown to see the hat maltesers of 580 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 2: what we're looking at today. On average, a packet of 581 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: white malteses costs you nine dollars twenty four. That puts 582 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: it out of price per kilo of seventy three dollars 583 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: thirty one sirloin steak seventy two dollars thirty six on average, 584 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 2: so more expensive than the steak. Starting to affect the 585 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 2: flavor of some of your favorites as well. Nesleigh has 586 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: been forced to reduce the amount of cocoa and their kitcats, 587 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: so if you're tasting more waifer than cocoa, you're not 588 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 2: imagining it. And Rod told the show a couple of 589 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 2: weeks ago that the Makevity's biscuits had to rebrand from 590 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: being chocolate biscuits to chocolate flavored biscuits, because frankly, if 591 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: you don't have enough cocoa, you're just not chocolate anymore, 592 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 2: are you. So there you go. Now you're going to 593 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 2: get it out. I'm I've ruined it for you, haven't 594 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: I RMA. Now this is the big day for the RMA. 595 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: I said earlier when I was talking to Andrew. Probably 596 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: you know if you're feeling like, oh, RMA, yeah, fair enough, 597 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 2: because we've had a couple of false start right, we 598 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,239 Speaker 2: had David Parker's thing, then I got unwound. But this 599 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: is the thing. If you're expecting the coalition government to 600 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: be in power after the next election, which you should 601 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 2: be because they will be most likely, then this is 602 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: the one that's actually gonna happen. So the aim is 603 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: to simplify it massively, will get the details on. It's 604 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 2: all got to do with zones and plans or run 605 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 2: you through those numbers. Been a bit of drama about 606 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 2: this naval vessel. It's been shadowed by the Chinese warships. 607 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: Just a question for you, are we the ones doing 608 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 2: the provoking if we're the ones floating through the old 609 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 2: Taiwan straight Because if they come down here with their vessels, 610 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 2: we get pre worked up about it. So maybe that 611 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: you can't get worked up about New Zealand. But you know, 612 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: I just wonder if we might be the ones that 613 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 2: blame here. So we'll have a chat to Robert Patman 614 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 2: about that. Turns out I was happy to find out 615 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 2: if one drivers for all of their money and good 616 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: looks and you know, fame party like everyone else. What 617 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 2: did they sing along to Tlando Norris's celebration party after 618 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 2: he won the F one championship, Caroline, just like we 619 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: all do. 620 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: News is Next, Tough on power, sharp on insight, Heather Duper, 621 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: see Allen on the mic, asking breakfast.

Regional councils have 627 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: of course, already been given the choppers part of this reform. 628 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 3: Now. 629 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 2: Alan Pollard is the CEO of the Civil Contractors n 630 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: Z and with us Morning Allen. Now, the word is 631 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 2: that we have about twelve hundred different zones in the 632 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 2: country and they're going to be cut down to fewer 633 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 2: than twenty. Is that right. 634 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 17: I don't know the final detail, but whatever we can 635 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 17: do to streamline the process will be welcome for our industry. 636 00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 2: How much of a heads up have you been given? 637 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 3: A not very little. 638 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 17: What we do know is that, yeah, the ministers determined 639 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 17: to simplify the ACT. If I can add some context 640 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 17: to it, you know, for the last two years, our 641 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 17: industry has faced some pretty tough time for the low 642 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 17: project volumes, and yet there's two hundred and seventy five 643 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 17: billion dollars sitting on a project pipeline, and there's are 644 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 17: projects how communities need how Our aim is that these 645 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 17: projects need to come to market as quickly as possible, 646 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 17: and we need to remove the barriers to stopping that happening. 647 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 17: And the RIMA is one of the major barriers that 648 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 17: we face. 649 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 6: Yeah. 650 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 2: I mean, if you were to list the barriers and 651 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 2: all the things that go into making a project really 652 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 2: hard to get off the ground, where would this sit. 653 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 17: It's just right up at the top. The ACT is 654 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 17: incredibly complicated, it's vague, it's open to interpretation that creates 655 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 17: significant cost to the projects and frankly, it does little 656 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 17: to protect the environment or to enable efficient development. 657 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 2: What is it about the Act that is causing the trouble? 658 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 2: Is it the time that it takes to get the consent? 659 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: Is the possibility that there's a decline? What is it? 660 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 17: I think it's all of those things, because it's very complicated, 661 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 17: but also it's open to interpretation that's quite vague. So 662 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 17: you could have the Act interpret in one way in 663 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 17: one region and completely different than another. 664 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 2: Oh, you can have the Act interpreted differently in the 665 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: same region, can't you. I mean I've run into that 666 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: where you have two people sitting next to each other 667 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: totally different ideas. 668 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 17: What you certainly can you have to say lawyers and 669 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 17: planners could spend their whole lives trying to interpret the Act. 670 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 2: So would you say, Alan that one of the most 671 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: important things in what we see today is actually some 672 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: certainty and very clear guidelines, not even guidelines, just very 673 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: clear as to what this is saying, rather than leaving 674 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: it open to people making up their own minds. 675 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 17: Absolutely, there needs to be clarity and certainty. If I 676 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 17: could give you an example, you know, part of our 677 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 17: sustainable construction practices. We prefer to reuse construction and demolition 678 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 17: ways from one site on another site. But if there's 679 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 17: the minutest part of contaminant in the soil and that's 680 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 17: defined by the local council officers, we have to send 681 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 17: that to landfall. It's costing two point four billion dollars 682 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 17: additional costs a year to do that. 683 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, just crazy, Allen, thanks very much, appreciate your time. 684 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: This Alan pol Out and besta like at one o'clock 685 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: CEO of Civil Contractors in Z ten past seven. Ever, 686 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: so New Zealand Defense Force has confirmed one of its 687 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: navy ships in East Asia was recently shadowed by seven 688 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 2: Chinese warships. It was last month when the n Z 689 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 2: s Alti at All was conducting surveillance operations. This was 690 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: related to North Korea's nuclear program. Robert Patman is an 691 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: international relations expert and with US morning. 692 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 18: Robert, Good morning, Hell. 693 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 2: How serious do you think this is? 694 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 18: I wouldn't say it's very serious, but I think the 695 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 18: fact that the Z s Auta was shadowed by seven 696 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 18: New Zealand warships at different times indicates that the Chinese 697 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 18: are not relenting in their claim that the Taiwan Strait 698 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 18: is not an international warway but waterway. Actually they claim 699 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 18: sovereignty over it, So there's no there's no sign there 700 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,959 Speaker 18: backing down, And I don't think that's really surprising given 701 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 18: the current international situation. 702 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: No, not at all. Is it possible that actually US 703 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: being there at all is a provocation to them? I mean, 704 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 2: we feel pretty aggrieved when they come all the way 705 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 2: down here. 706 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 18: Well, you know, I suppose they could interpret it this way. 707 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 18: But I think what we have to take into account 708 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 18: is that China has as its economic and military capabilities 709 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 18: grown over the years. It's the second superpower of the 710 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 18: United States. What used to be acceptable to China is 711 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 18: no longer acceptable. He's had a long standing claim over Taiwan, 712 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 18: and I think this sort of growing consciousness of military 713 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 18: might means that China is less tolerant, less accepting of 714 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 18: but it sees as infringements on its sovereign claim. But 715 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 18: to be fair, you know, most countries in the world 716 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 18: do see the Taiwan Straight as an international waterway, and 717 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 18: we also as a country have very good relations with Taiwan. 718 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 18: We don't have diplomatic relations with them, but we certainly 719 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 18: have a free trade agreement with Taiwan and it host 720 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 18: people to people relations, so I think news. I mean, 721 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 18: let's be quite clear, why was New Zealand there going 722 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 18: through the Taiwan Straight Because it was on a mission 723 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 18: to enforce UN sanctions against North Korea, so it wasn't 724 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 18: aimed at China. The ship sailed from the South China 725 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 18: Sea to the North Asian Region via the Taiwan Straight 726 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 18: and we now learned that actually occurred over a month ago. 727 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 2: Robert, thanks very much runningus. We appreciate it. As Robert 728 00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 2: Patman international relations expert. Actually, there's an interesting survey out 729 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 2: regarding our views of China and stuff. I'll run you 730 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: through that when I get a chance. 731 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 3: Heather Duper Clerk, there's a question for you. 732 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: Is two percent in the preferred prime minister polling a 733 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 2: good thing? Now? I'm asking you this because Chris Bishop 734 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 2: has popped up. So we had the one News Varian 735 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 2: poll last night. This was the first poll since word 736 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 2: got out there. Chris Bishop of trying to get the 737 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 2: numbers role Chris Luckxon obviously failed. So the preferred prime 738 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 2: minister ranking goes like this. Luxon's on the top of 739 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 2: twenty three, then Hipkins on twenty one, Winston on nine, 740 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 2: David Seymour on five, Chris Bishop on two, and Chloe 741 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 2: Chloe There's just no chance, is there anyway? Chloe on one? Anyway, 742 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 2: Chris Bishop popping up on number two is you know, 743 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 2: on two percent, not number two, but two percent makes it. 744 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 2: This is significant because this makes him the first National 745 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 2: Party MP apart from the Prime Minister, to register in 746 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 2: the preferred prime Minister poll since the election in twenty 747 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 2: twenty three. So I guess why I'm asking is because 748 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 2: he should take some heart, like he could look at 749 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 2: that and go, hey, I'm in there, I'm in the 750 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 2: I'm the only one who's in there. But then on 751 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 2: the other hand, it is two percent. I mean that's 752 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 2: a long shot to twenty three percent, sitting just one 753 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 2: above Chloe and Chloe's and it never got a chance, right, 754 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 2: So however you look at it, I suppose fourteen past 755 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 2: seven the. 756 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: Mic Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 757 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: News Talks. 758 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 2: At b Morning, Heather, the major elephant in the room 759 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 2: when it comes to the rama is the fingers and 760 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 2: the pie that the e we have and you will 761 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 2: shy away from it our sun did a subdivision of 762 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 2: matamatter had to pay the local ee fifteen thousand dollars 763 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 2: just to come and walk over it, and so called 764 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 2: bless it.

So stand by one o'clock seventeen past seven. 769 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 2: Now do you remember the well being fund that the 770 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 2: Ardurn Hipkins government gave Principles where they have six thousand 771 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 2: dollars to spend on sometimes I don't know, training courses 772 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 2: at the Hilton and Fiji. Turns out that's still causing 773 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 2: some trouble according to the Audited gen Rules Office. Jane 774 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 2: Rogers is the secret manager for Schools at the office. 775 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 2: Hi Jane, Hi, So what's going on with the spending. 776 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 19: We just this year our auditors did identify more concerns 777 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 19: about sensitive expenditure than in the normal years, and most 778 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 19: of those concerns did relate to how schools spent the 779 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 19: funding for the professional coaching and well being provided to Principles. 780 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 19: In twenty twenty three and twenty four. About third of 781 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 19: those concerns related to travel, including schools paying for personal 782 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 19: travel for staff and sometimes companions. Some of that was 783 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 19: travel that was actually incorporated into a business trip. And 784 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 19: one of the expectations for spending public money is that 785 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 19: it has a just a viable business purpose. 786 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 18: So we wouldn't. 787 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 19: Normally expect a school or any public organization to pay 788 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 19: for personal travel of their staff. 789 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 2: So is this, Jane, is the school spending that is 790 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: on top of that six thousand dollar fund or is 791 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,760 Speaker 2: it within the six thousand dollar fund? 792 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 19: Mainly it's it is the six thousand dollars, but Principles 793 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 19: were allowed to use additional funding for professional development, so 794 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 19: it didn't they didn't have to just spend the six 795 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 19: thousand dollars. 796 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 2: Right, So are you telling me that the six thousand 797 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 2: dollars that was sold to us as being for development 798 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 2: was actually being spent on personal stuff? 799 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 19: I mean in some cases yes, are we talking about 800 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 19: Well we well, we we identified I think, which is 801 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 19: in our report one hundred and seventy eight where we 802 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 19: actually drew attention to it in the in the management 803 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 19: letter or the audit report of the school. So that's 804 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 19: where we had some concern over the spending. Obviously, some 805 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 19: of that was relatively small amounts, so it could be 806 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 19: GM memberships that sort of thing. Quite small amounts are 807 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 19: the ones that we actually referred to our audit reports 808 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 19: were those which were more significant, and a lot of 809 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 19: those were around overseas travels a lot to it. 810 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,240 Speaker 2: Jane, do you think this is going to get tidied 811 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 2: up or is this going to be an ongoing problem? 812 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 19: Well, the funding was only provided for twenty twenty three 813 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 19: and twenty twenty four. Obviously they've just redone the collective agreements, 814 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 19: and I don't know whether obviously that spending is being 815 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 19: being you know, really I can't think. 816 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 6: Of the word rolled over. 817 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 19: Let's say rolled over, say yeah, so, so, I mean 818 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 19: we would expect that there would be I guess maybe 819 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 19: better guidance. The Ministry did provide guidance for this last 820 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 19: lot of fundy, but if they were to do it again, 821 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,280 Speaker 19: I think we would maybe expect sort of better guidance 822 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 19: and more rules around what the schools can actually spend it. 823 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 2: On fair point listen, Jane, thanks very much appreciated. That's 824 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 2: Shane Rodgers, Sector manager for Schools at the Office of 825 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 2: the Order to General It is actually a very good 826 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 2: question to ask, because that thing just got signed last week, 827 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 2: or the principles, I don't know. Actually it's a good 828 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 2: question to ask what the dealers with the principles, whether 829 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 2: they got the six thousand dollars again, and add there's 830 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 2: twenty four hundred schools, right, so one hundred and seventy 831 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 2: eight of them. Is what it's like seven eight percent 832 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 2: or something like that. Where this I mean, it's not 833 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,479 Speaker 2: earth shattering, but it's probably big enough to explain why 834 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 2: we all knew that this fund was being gamed by 835 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 2: some principles. Right twenty past seven, the. 836 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 837 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: News Talks. 838 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 2: Evy, Jimmy Barnes is going to be with us after 839 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 2: eight o'clock. Just talk us through how he's going after 840 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 2: all of his health scares, and if you're not across that, 841 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 2: I'll run you through what he's been through. Shortly seven 842 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 2: twenty three, So tomorrow's the big day, isn't it? And 843 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 2: it is I think not an overstatement to say that 844 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 2: the eyes of the world, well at least politicians around 845 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 2: the world, are going to be on Australia and whether 846 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 2: the social media ban will actually work, and that is 847 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,919 Speaker 2: still a live question, isn't it. We less than twenty 848 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 2: four hours from the thing taking effect, and none of 849 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 2: us can totally say for sure that we know it's 850 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 2: going to work. For two reasons. One, it's the Internet, 851 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 2: so there's always a work around out there, and to 852 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 2: involved kids, and if there's a workaround, kids will find 853 00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 2: the work around. I'm gonna call it for you now. 854 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 2: It's not going to work if your definition of working 855 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 2: is that one hundred percent of children under sixteen get 856 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 2: kicked off and stay off until they're sixteen. But I 857 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 2: think it is possible that it is going to work 858 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 2: if your definition is a little bit more flexible, which 859 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 2: is that most kids get kicked off and stay off 860 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 2: because their parents force them to do it. And I 861 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 2: think that is the key thing here, Like it always 862 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 2: is parents getting involved talking about whether it works or not. Actually, 863 00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 2: I think kind of misses the point here, which is 864 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,879 Speaker 2: that this gives parents something that they haven't had yet, 865 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,360 Speaker 2: which is permission to keep their kids off social media. 866 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 2: Because what parents have been finding is it's very hard 867 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 2: to keep fourteen year old Susie off social media. Off 868 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 2: the facy, off the Insta of TikTok, Off the snapchat, 869 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 2: because all Susie's friends are on it, and if Susie's 870 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 2: not on it, then she becomes the weird kid. And 871 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 2: nobody wants their kid to be the weird kid, right, 872 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 2: So you're relenting. You let Susie on it. This has 873 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 2: the potential to flip all of that pressure around. Now 874 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 2: everyone's off. Now the kid that's on it, Little Johnny's 875 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 2: on it. Susie comes home, she's old. Johnny's on TikTok? 876 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 2: Can I go on TikTok? 877 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 16: You go? 878 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 2: No, Johnny's a naughty kid from a family that has 879 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 2: no rules, no boundaries, no discipline. Susie, You've got boundaries 880 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 2: and discipline your parents care about. You know, you stay off. 881 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 2: It gives permission for the parents to be able to 882 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 2: do that kind of thing. And if you're a parent, 883 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 2: you know, peer pressure is massive, isn't it, especially in 884 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 2: the teenage years. The Aussie government's doing its bit by 885 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 2: bringing us to this point. The tech companies are being 886 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 2: dragged into doing their bit, and ultimately this will live 887 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 2: or die in Australia based on whether Australian parents do 888 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 2: their bit and actually step up to the plate and 889 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 2: parent properly. 890 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 3: Here here the duplicy Ellen. 891 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 2: There is a big development in rugby. This is that 892 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 2: the Hurricanes fifty percent of the ownership of the Hurricanes. Basically, 893 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 2: Wellington Rugby's let it go. It's sold. It's fifty percent share. 894 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 2: It's gone to the private guys. This is because they're 895 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 2: running out of money. I mean, there are some fundamental, 896 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 2: like really big fundamental questions here about what's going on 897 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,399 Speaker 2: with sport, netball, cricket, rugby that they just cannot make 898 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 2: any money. It's the pay packets, by the way, it's 899 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 2: how much we pay the rugby players. Anyway, we're going 900 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 2: to speak to one of the guys who's from the 901 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 2: private consortium stepping up to buy this. He's going to 902 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 2: be us straight after the news. Now, got to run 903 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 2: you through the Golden Globes based on this is if 904 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,760 Speaker 2: I still think the Golden Globes are okay in terms 905 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 2: of the nooms, Like the oscars, you look at it, 906 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 2: you go, what is this weird stuff that you've been watching? 907 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 2: And then you watch it and you go, why did 908 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 2: I waste my time? The Golden Globes I think still 909 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 2: give you a fair idea of what's good to watch. 910 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 2: And if you trust them, then what you want to 911 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,359 Speaker 2: go out and watch is one Battle after another. Well, 912 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 2: when I say go out, you just stream it, now, 913 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 2: can't you? One Battle after another? The White Lotus and 914 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 2: Adolescence if you haven't already watched it, and then wild 915 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 2: card Marty Supreme. So in the movies, one battle after 916 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 2: another's got the most norms. It's this is the one 917 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 2: with Leo DiCaprio in it. It's got nine knobs. Then 918 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 2: you've got sentimental value that's got eight knobs, and Sinners 919 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 2: which is like a vampire thriller that's got seven. In 920 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 2: the TV department, White Lotus has got six norms, Adolescence 921 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,760 Speaker 2: has got five. Only murders in the building and Severns 922 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 2: are doing pretty well as well with four nominations each. 923 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 2: But Marty Supreme is the one that I reckon if 924 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 2: you need to keep an eye out for. It's in 925 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 2: for the Best Motion Picture Musical Comedy, in for Best 926 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 2: Performance by a Male Actor. That's for Timothy Shallamay you know, 927 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 2: lead lead boy. What do they call themselves the rat 928 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 2: rats or something like? Do you know what I'm talking 929 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 2: about there's like a like a thing where people started 930 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 2: finding ratty looking men in Hollywood quite sexy. And he's 931 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 2: he's one of the lead proponents of the ratty face. 932 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 2: Also in four Abbecation. Yeah, it's quite a thing. Best 933 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,479 Speaker 2: Screenplay Motion Picture. So go and see Marty Supreme because 934 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 2: the Telegraph, I think, called it the best film of 935 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 2: the year.

Well, I mean, 942 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 2: good question, Although who do you charge? Do you charge 943 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 2: the school boards who said yep to the funding or 944 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,399 Speaker 2: do you charge the principles who went on the trip 945 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 2: to Fiji or where wherever they may have gone.

Twenty two away from mate, sure. 970 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 2: So we have a significant development in the ownership of rugby. 971 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 2: The Wellington RFU Rugby Football Union has sold its fifty 972 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 2: percent stake in the Hurricanes to private owners, basically as 973 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,319 Speaker 2: a result of running out of money. The buyers are 974 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 2: New Zealand'sport Investment Limited. Malcolm Gillies is part of it 975 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 2: and he's with us now. H I'm Malcolm, Malcolm are 976 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 2: you there? Hold on, we have a problem. We've got 977 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 2: a problem with the phone line again. I'm going to 978 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 2: fix it while we're waiting for Malcolm to get back on. 979 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:53,919 Speaker 2: Do you want me to make you feel a little 980 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 2: bit cross? Get ready for it. Yeah, it's a trigger warning. 981 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 2: Get ready for it. This is how much money you're 982 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,479 Speaker 2: paying Radio New z and staff. In twenty twenty three 983 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 2: they employed one hundred and seven people who earned over 984 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,839 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars. The next year, twenty twenty four, 985 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 2: that number increased to one hundred and forty five people, 986 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 2: and now it's one hundred and seventy eight people. So 987 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 2: in the space of two years, the number of people 988 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 2: who earn over one hundred thousand dollars has gone up 989 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 2: by seventy people from one o seven to one seven eight. 990 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 2: There's a reason for it, and I'm going to get 991 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 2: back to it shortly, but I've just got Malcolm back 992 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 2: on the line with us. Malcolm, Hello, good a, how 993 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 2: are you. I'm very well, Thank you mate, thanks for 994 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 2: talking to us. I understand you're in Fiji, is that right? 995 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 13: Yeah? 996 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 2: Oh you're a good lovely weather. Yeah, thank you for 997 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 2: doing it. Now. Did you go to the Hurricanes or 998 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 2: Wellington Football and offer this deal or did they come 999 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 2: to you? 1000 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 20: Well, we deal started with Wilmington Rugby. They came to 1001 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 20: us and said that they were thinking of so in 1002 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 20: this years and so we took it from there. 1003 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 2: Okay, do you think it's a good investment given what's 1004 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 2: going on with rugby. 1005 00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 20: I think it's a challenging one. 1006 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 3: I think it's got a great future. 1007 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 20: There's a lot of untapped potential, but there's certainly a 1008 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 20: lot of things to do. So I think if you 1009 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 20: just do it the same way as it's been done, 1010 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 20: then this can be very difficult. But we did it 1011 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 20: for a lot of reasons. My partner, John Bellen, and Peter, 1012 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 20: we both all of us decided that well, we've got 1013 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 20: a passion for rugby and we certainly got a passion 1014 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 20: for Wellington rugby. So it wasn't all necessarily about making money. 1015 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,760 Speaker 20: Was about trying to help help the union sort itself 1016 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 20: out and at the same time obviously help the Hurricanes. 1017 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they need to make money. I mean, it 1018 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 2: does need to make money to continue, doesn't it. 1019 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 20: Yes, it does. It's got to pay its way, and 1020 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 20: we're reasonably happy that we can with our business skills 1021 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 20: that we can do that. 1022 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 2: So what are you going to change? Would you change 1023 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 2: where you host the games? Get out of sky Stadium? 1024 00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 20: Look, that's always an option. But then once again, if 1025 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 20: you know, the easiest thing is to blame sky Stadium. 1026 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 20: It's too big, it's this, and it's that. The reality 1027 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 20: is the Hurricanes also have a responsibility to re engage 1028 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,360 Speaker 20: with their fans. I mean, we had an average crowd 1029 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 20: size of seven thousand, and I think, you know, realistically, 1030 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 20: we've got to look at ourselves. How do we get 1031 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,680 Speaker 20: that When we had the PACIFICA game, we had nearly 1032 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 20: twenty thousand. So the reality is that we've got a 1033 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 20: lot of work to do. We've got to re engage 1034 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 20: with our fans, their past players and our communities. We've 1035 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 20: got to get people in behind us again and we've 1036 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 20: got to have a product that they want to go 1037 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:37,719 Speaker 20: and watch. 1038 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 2: Turn up so big. Why the fans turn up for that, Malcolm, 1039 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 2: apart from obviously being really ardent fans, Is it not 1040 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 2: because it's a rare thing on the calendar. It's an event. 1041 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 20: No, you've got to make You've got to make an 1042 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,759 Speaker 20: event out of the day. And you know, we don't 1043 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 20: have a lot of money to spend massive things on marketing, 1044 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 20: but there's a lot of things we could do to 1045 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 20: re engage to make them. We can set up club 1046 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 20: combatitions where they wear their jerseys. 1047 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 21: We can do a lot of things. 1048 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 2: Are you committing You've got five fixtures that you have 1049 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 2: to play next year apparently at Skystadium. Are you definitely 1050 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 2: going to play all five of them there? 1051 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 6: Well? 1052 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 20: This year we've got one in christ Church and we've 1053 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 20: got one in Napier. It depends, It depends what we 1054 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 20: can do. We also think we have a responsibility to 1055 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 20: take the game out into the regions as well. This 1056 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 20: year we've got one in Napier, and I think, you know, 1057 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 20: we've got six pus right stretching right up to gisbone, 1058 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 20: So I think it's important that we get at least 1059 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,280 Speaker 20: one of those games each year out into the PUS. 1060 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 20: So if we've got five home games next year, we'll 1061 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,080 Speaker 20: just have to look at how we're going. I mean, 1062 00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,799 Speaker 20: the fact of the matter is it might not be. 1063 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 20: You know, we've got to make sure we can pay 1064 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,439 Speaker 20: what it costs to play at the stadium, and that's 1065 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:47,959 Speaker 20: my job. 1066 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 2: If the woman's team doesn't make money, do you have 1067 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 2: to continue with it? 1068 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,760 Speaker 20: We probably will have one of the best women's teams 1069 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 20: looking at the roster or with the coaching roster at 1070 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,319 Speaker 20: the stage that we've ever had, So we're not contemplating 1071 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:04,720 Speaker 20: that losing money. 1072 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 5: I mean, the. 1073 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,400 Speaker 20: Women's team is supported well to start with. Why the 1074 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 20: NJ are you anyway, So it's really up to us 1075 00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 20: just to to you know, to play a reasonable game 1076 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 20: of rugby, and it's a growing attraction the woman's game 1077 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 20: all across the world. 1078 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 2: I feel kind of sorry for you, Malcolm, because I 1079 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 2: think you're pushing it up here with this because part 1080 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,959 Speaker 2: of your problem and you can only fix so many things. 1081 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 2: Part of The problem is rugby is boring, isn't it. 1082 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,320 Speaker 2: Like you look at what is going on in the field. 1083 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,799 Speaker 2: It's so fast on rugby league, it's so fast now 1084 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 2: on the football you can really enjoy it. Rugby they're 1085 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,000 Speaker 2: getting together and slowing down the ball the whole time. 1086 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:38,839 Speaker 2: You can't fix that. 1087 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,880 Speaker 20: Yeah, Look, firstly, I don't want you to feel sorry 1088 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 20: for me, you know, really, I totally agree, and I 1089 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,640 Speaker 20: think anyone with half a brain can look to see. 1090 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,839 Speaker 20: But that's a bigger thing than what. 1091 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 3: I can fix. 1092 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 20: I still believe people that are passionate about rugby will 1093 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 20: give the people that have the opportunity to change the 1094 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 20: rules the time to do it. I mean, rugby's been 1095 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 20: a part of our culture. It's a part of who 1096 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 20: we are in New Zealand, as is league. But yes, 1097 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 20: definitely league is a better spectacle right now. You need 1098 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 20: to be honest. We all know that. But I think 1099 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 20: surely we're not the only ones that can see that, 1100 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 20: and the people that have the power to change that 1101 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 20: given time, I think we'll do that. They'll address it. 1102 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 2: The time Malcolm, they take so long. Listen, good luck 1103 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,320 Speaker 2: with it and thanks for stepping and mate this and 1104 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 2: talking to us from Fiji. Malcolm Gillies hurricane chair. Right 1105 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 2: here we go, here's get ready for it. Here's your 1106 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 2: Radio New Zealand figures. So it's gone up right now. 1107 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 2: Why did the staff numbers go up so massively? That 1108 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 2: would be because Grant Robertson and then through huge amount 1109 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:46,400 Speaker 2: of money at Radio New Zealand in about twenty twenty 1110 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 2: three twenty twenty four. So now I'm going to run 1111 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 2: you through how much it's costing you and I'll do 1112 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 2: that in a minute quarter two the. 1113 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:57,319 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio now ad 1114 00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:58,360 Speaker 1: By News Talks. 1115 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,520 Speaker 2: That be right here we go. So this, by the way, 1116 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 2: has come out of the annual report, the Radio New 1117 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 2: Zealand Annual Reports. So they go all the funding and 1118 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,799 Speaker 2: checktion and they were like, guys, it's all on. We've 1119 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 2: got heaps of cash. Ye have a pay rise, have 1120 00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 2: pay rise, have praise. And now half of them are earning. 1121 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 2: And by the way, it literally is half of them. 1122 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 2: It's forty nine percent of them who are on six figures. 1123 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 2: Imagine being in the fifty one percent that isn't earning 1124 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars. I mean that sucks. I don't know. 1125 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,880 Speaker 2: Salary bill has gone from thirty two million in twenty 1126 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 2: twenty three to thirty seven million the following year to 1127 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 2: forty two million dollars this year. It's gone up by 1128 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 2: a third in the space of two years because they 1129 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 2: got the cash right. But problem now is they got 1130 00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 2: the cash and then Goldie came and Paul Goldsmith and went, 1131 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 2: that's too much Bunney and he took a bunch of 1132 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 2: money away and guess what. Now they're in the red 1133 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,680 Speaker 2: because they're paying their staff too much, aren't they say? 1134 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 2: Are they going to fix that? Treasury doesn't like it. 1135 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 2: It's recommended to the government that it Wallace recommended, actually yeah, 1136 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,920 Speaker 2: to the government that ministers that an assessment from the 1137 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,719 Speaker 2: Radio New Zealand chair is requested on how Arnz it 1138 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,359 Speaker 2: is responding to expectations and assurance that management is being 1139 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 2: held to account. So if you're a manager at ore 1140 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,840 Speaker 2: n Z, shellon out the taxpayer dough like there's no tomorrow, 1141 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,840 Speaker 2: you're about to find out about that. Now. Try to 1142 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,560 Speaker 2: get into my Christmas party today And yeah, I've left 1143 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,000 Speaker 2: the I left it too late, so I don't know 1144 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,799 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'll do. I'll do something. I'll get into 1145 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:19,880 Speaker 2: I don't even know if I really want to go. 1146 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 2: It's between one and four in the afternoon. What kind 1147 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 2: of a Christmas party is that? Anyway? This has come 1148 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,360 Speaker 2: up again this year, comes up every year. The question 1149 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,280 Speaker 2: is at the end of the Lavish Kiwi Office Christmas Party. 1150 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,440 Speaker 2: But the reason I'm raising this with you this hardy annual, 1151 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 2: the reason I'm raising it with you this year is 1152 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 2: because finally somebody has said the thing that needs to 1153 00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 2: be said, and that's deb Repeed Debra Peede, who is 1154 00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 2: the pr Queen in Auckland and has done it for 1155 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,959 Speaker 2: forty five years so has seen her share her fair 1156 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 2: share of wild Christmas party, especially in public relations reckons. 1157 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 2: There's two reasons the Lavish Christmas Party is over. Number 1158 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,320 Speaker 2: One the social media, right, because if you're going to 1159 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 2: go there and then you're going to snog your boss 1160 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 2: in the corner, I'm just gonna come past, I'm gonna 1161 00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 2: film you and stick it up on Instagram, aren't I 1162 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 2: And then then you're gonna get fired. So that's part 1163 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 2: of the reason you're not getting boozed and doing that. 1164 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 2: But the second reason, thank god, somebody said it. The 1165 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:12,920 Speaker 2: second reason is women. Women are increasingly occupying leadership positions, 1166 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 2: she said, and we've become more empowered in the workplace, 1167 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 2: so we don't put up with bad behavior. Now, isn't 1168 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,919 Speaker 2: that the truth? Think, I know this is confronting. Think 1169 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 2: about it for a second. Think about it. No one 1170 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,839 Speaker 2: is more boring than a mum, and especially a mum 1171 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 2: of really small kids. Like we just don't have any 1172 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 2: tolerance for excessive drinking, excessive loud noise, rudeness, like absolutely 1173 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 2: no interest in sexy stuff. Right, you've got try grab 1174 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 2: in my butt. I'm just gonna punch you in the face. 1175 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,920 Speaker 2: I'm not interested in it at the moment. So this 1176 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 2: is necessary. It's a biological reality because we've got to 1177 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,120 Speaker 2: keep the little kids alive. So we've got to be 1178 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,720 Speaker 2: as boring as possible. But even if but just because 1179 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 2: it's a necessity doesn't mean that it's not true. Your 1180 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 2: wife is killing your party and your lady boss is 1181 00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 2: killing your party, and I can't do anything other than 1182 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 2: say I'm really sorry, but such is life. Nine Away 1183 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 2: from eight. 1184 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 1: Heather Dupussy Allen on the mic, asking Breakfast We're the 1185 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,520 Speaker 1: Defender and news tog dead b. 1186 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, the women of the worst behaved office dues in 1187 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,319 Speaker 2: my experience, and I'm a woman ever with the young 1188 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,560 Speaker 2: ones before they have children, and then they have children, 1189 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 2: and then it all stops, doesn't it. Well, not for 1190 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 2: all of them. Stix away from eight Now. Debate has 1191 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 2: fired up over whether our long summer break is too long. 1192 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 2: It's been kicked off, but they had opinion piece written 1193 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,040 Speaker 2: by the businessman Toss Grumley who reckons taking weeks off 1194 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,440 Speaker 2: over summer hurts our productivity and cue everyone weighing in 1195 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 2: with their opinion, from the Prime Minister to Simon Bridges. 1196 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 2: The Auckland boss. Christoph Schumacher is a professor of innovation 1197 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 2: and economics at Massi University and is with us on this. 1198 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 3: High Christoph, good morning. 1199 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,479 Speaker 2: Do you reckon as summer breaks too long? 1200 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 21: Well, our summer break is long compared to the rest 1201 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 21: of the world, and you see them scores quite highly 1202 00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 21: on the work life balance. But I think the question 1203 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 21: is not is it too long? The question should be 1204 00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 21: can we afford it? 1205 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 2: Well? I mean you wouldn't be doing it if you 1206 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 2: couldn't afford it, would. 1207 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 21: You ll look in the last ten years our productivity 1208 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 21: growth rate has gone from one point two percent, which 1209 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 21: is right the OCD average, to zero point two percent, 1210 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 21: and we now are ranked sixty third out of sixty 1211 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 21: seven countries. So our productivity is rather low. So the 1212 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 21: question becomes, then can we afford this rather long summer break? 1213 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 21: And the answer the crystal no. 1214 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 2: The answer is no. You're totally right. But saying to 1215 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,120 Speaker 2: me like, okay, So saying to the small business owner 1216 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 2: who's running a construction business, Hey, he's worked all hard, 1217 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,360 Speaker 2: it will year really really hard. He wants to take 1218 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 2: the summer off, saying to him he needs to keep 1219 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,680 Speaker 2: working through the summer for the country's productivity. Is not 1220 00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 2: going to make him work through the summer, is it. 1221 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,760 Speaker 21: No, Look, people do deserve their breaks, and the all 1222 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 21: of the states right now where we do need a 1223 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 21: break to become fresh and come back to work. In 1224 00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,440 Speaker 21: the question justice, can we structure it better? Can we 1225 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 21: organize it better so that not everything shuts down, but 1226 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 21: we scale thing. Some people stay here to keep business 1227 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 21: going as usual, some people take off and re rotate. 1228 00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 21: This possibly over the years, always the possibility of working remotely. 1229 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,919 Speaker 21: Maybe we start using that more during the summer break 1230 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 21: as well. I think It just needs to be a 1231 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 21: smarter way. Nobody denies that people need a break and 1232 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 21: deserve a break because Kiwis are hard workers. We work 1233 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:26,040 Speaker 21: long hours. We just sometimes don't structure as well as 1234 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 21: we could. 1235 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 2: A very good point. Thank you, Christopher.

I thought we had a pot 1241 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 10: productivity crisis. 1242 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 2: I don't know.

So so, you know, a major work. 1291 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 6: But I just figure, you know, I was in I 1292 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 6: was in great hands, and you know I left and 1293 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 6: I'm like, I said, I've got all new parts and 1294 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,880 Speaker 6: all the stuff, so I should be going for another 1295 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:04,560 Speaker 6: twenty years. 1296 01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 2: What made it more dangerous than a transplant. 1297 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 6: Because there was with the transplant they take it all out. 1298 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:16,200 Speaker 6: These were internal workings. They had to add valve eortic 1299 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 6: valve replacement I had, They had to repair the mitro 1300 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 6: valve go under their back and repair the mitro valve. 1301 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,480 Speaker 6: They had to take out where the valves are seated 1302 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 6: because the virus had eaten into it. So they transplant 1303 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 6: all this flesh there and then I think there's fourteen 1304 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:35,480 Speaker 6: centimeters of aorta had been eaten away by this bug. 1305 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,360 Speaker 6: And literally, if they hadn't done that, I could been 1306 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,320 Speaker 6: you know, I could have been singing in bulged and 1307 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,080 Speaker 6: popped it and died on spot. You know. It was 1308 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,680 Speaker 6: like it was very just it was long, intense and 1309 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 6: you needed you know, it's a team of surgeons as 1310 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,080 Speaker 6: you put you know because your husband done it, but 1311 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,919 Speaker 6: there's not the the physical pain of having your chest, 1312 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 6: you know, priced open is incredibly us the second time 1313 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 6: I've had it, So I a two thousand and seven 1314 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 6: as well. 1315 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because they cut through, don't they They do 1316 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:03,680 Speaker 2: the whole. 1317 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 6: And literally when I when I had done two thousand 1318 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 6: and seven, I as I was going into the hospital, 1319 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 6: being cheeky as I was, I had a digital camera. 1320 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 6: I gave it to the nurse. I said take a 1321 01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 6: few snaps, you know, and I was thinking they're going 1322 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 6: to get the machines and all that sort of stuff. 1323 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,560 Speaker 6: About three days after I got intensive care, I saw 1324 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 6: my camera and I managed to reach for it and 1325 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 6: they're taking photographs inside my chest and it's this like 1326 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 6: they're just it's like a carjack as like medieval. 1327 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 2: But you know what, people, I think don't appreciate about 1328 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 2: what you've been through, almost dying from an infection. All 1329 01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 2: of the trauma of the surgery is that it takes 1330 01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,000 Speaker 2: years to really fully recover from it. But you were 1331 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 2: back on stage with them what like three or four 1332 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 2: six months. 1333 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 6: It started rehearsal seven weeks after surgery with cultures and 1334 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 6: went on the cultures or two. I just had to 1335 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 6: to be really careful. I was really you know, I 1336 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 6: had great physios. I did ever And the doctor said, 1337 01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 6: when when you're doing physio, you've got to do exactly 1338 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,320 Speaker 6: what they say. You can't do too much, you can't 1339 01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 6: do do too little. So for the first you know, 1340 01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 6: free months, I did exactly what they said. Every day. 1341 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 6: I had a physio with me on the road, so 1342 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 6: he would check every day and check had that and 1343 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 6: had the hit at the same time. So uh, it's 1344 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,680 Speaker 6: you know, And and once I got strong enough to 1345 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 6: say you can go a bit harder, I push myself. 1346 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 6: And besides that, I was you know, Jane, and my 1347 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,240 Speaker 6: wife's the best nurse in the world. She was, she's 1348 01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,600 Speaker 6: been through this me before, and she she was feeding me. 1349 01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,280 Speaker 6: And every morning I get up and have the juices 1350 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 6: from growing in an organic garden, you know.

This song's 1397 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:20,680 Speaker 6: on this record changed my life forever. I remember making 1398 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,720 Speaker 6: it forty years ago. In nineteen eighty five, I was 1399 01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,480 Speaker 6: I'd come out the back of Cold Chissel at the 1400 01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 6: end of December eighty three, when colchis were finished, I thought, 1401 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,000 Speaker 6: you know, I don't know how I'm going to follow 1402 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 6: this band, such a great rock and roll band, you know, 1403 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 6: I was. I wasn't a songwriter, you know. I just 1404 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,440 Speaker 6: started writing songs. I've had Don Walker, who's the best 1405 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 6: songwriter in the world, I think, writing songs for colch Hazell. 1406 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 6: So I was terrified about, you know, And I left 1407 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,640 Speaker 6: Cold Chizel February eighty four. I went up with I've 1408 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 6: got a rock and roll little band or just guitars, 1409 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,520 Speaker 6: no keyboards anthing. It was real simple, and I went 1410 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 6: and played all these little clubs all the way up 1411 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 6: queens like North Queensland and back, and over the period 1412 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 6: of a month I sort of phoned my feet as 1413 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 6: just as you know, it wasn't wasn't pretty, and it 1414 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,520 Speaker 6: wasn't sort of flash. It was just raw and it 1415 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 6: had emotion. And so I made a record and I 1416 01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 6: put that out and I thought, you know, this will 1417 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 6: just sort of bridge the gap between the people won't 1418 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,400 Speaker 6: to compare me to coaches. And that record went to 1419 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 6: number one and was Body Swerve, and I was so 1420 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 6: that was really lucky, and it sort of gave me 1421 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 6: a bit of breathing room. But in what it did 1422 01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 6: was it allowed me to sit back and go, this 1423 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,160 Speaker 6: next record I make is the one that's either going 1424 01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 6: to make or break me. So I've got to make 1425 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,880 Speaker 6: something great here. So I went to America to write 1426 01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 6: a lot of songs and to do a lot of 1427 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,880 Speaker 6: work for this record. I was working with Bob clear Mountain, 1428 01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 6: who's a record producer who's one of the best in 1429 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,160 Speaker 6: the world. I redid all the songs from Body Swerve 1430 01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,320 Speaker 6: and and packed them up for this, and then I 1431 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,120 Speaker 6: needed a bunch of other songs, and so I wrote 1432 01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,880 Speaker 6: and wrote with people. Uh, you know, I've made a 1433 01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 6: lot of friends over the years.

This is a big step in the 1453 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 6: right direction from my record so starting to gain a 1454 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 6: bit of confidence. A week later, I was in the 1455 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 6: record company in Geffrid Records, with the A and R guy, 1456 01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 6: and he said I had been contacted by Steve van 1457 01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 6: Zandt and Steve van Zant was the guitar player from 1458 01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,280 Speaker 6: Bruce's band, Bruce Bringsteen's band, and that was a huge 1459 01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,800 Speaker 6: fan of Stevie van and he said to stevee who 1460 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 6: loves your voice and wants to write a song for you. 1461 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,679 Speaker 6: So him and Steve Jordan, who is now the druma 1462 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,160 Speaker 6: from the Rolling Stones, I got together and sent me 1463 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,760 Speaker 6: a demo of a song they wrote together. And it's 1464 01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 6: like Steve van Zandt playing an acoustic guitar and singing 1465 01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:16,840 Speaker 6: into a dictaphone with Steve Jordan playing drums on the 1466 01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 6: back of his couch, and it sounded just amazing. And 1467 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,800 Speaker 6: so that was right the night away. So I had 1468 01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:24,280 Speaker 6: these two songs under my belt and I knew it 1469 01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,040 Speaker 6: was going to be good. I wrote a song called 1470 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 6: Without Your Love. It's a love song for Jane, my wife, 1471 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,760 Speaker 6: and I went and recorded it with with Mick Fleetwood 1472 01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,439 Speaker 6: and a whole bunch of really great players. And then 1473 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,760 Speaker 6: the last sort of big piece of the puzzle came 1474 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 6: when I met with a guy called Jonathan came and 1475 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 6: so Jonathan was was he'd been in a band called 1476 01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 6: The Babies, who I really liked, and and and he 1477 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 6: was in Journey. And I did know a lot about Journey, 1478 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,599 Speaker 6: but I knew they were massive in America, but they 1479 01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 6: never they never translated to Australia, so we didn't know 1480 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:56,920 Speaker 6: him much here. But anyway, Jonathan came in and we 1481 01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 6: were talking and he was asking he obviously hadn't been 1482 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 6: in Australia New Zealand. He was asking about what it 1483 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 6: was like to tour down down this part of the world. 1484 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,240 Speaker 6: And I was explaining how the audience is a pretty 1485 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 6: pretty tough you know, if you don't like it, it's like, 1486 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:09,840 Speaker 6: you know, they'll throw things back. Yeah, and if they 1487 01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 6: like you, they love you. And I said, you know, 1488 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:12,800 Speaker 6: the soul of the youth people that came out and 1489 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,920 Speaker 6: the Saturday and I kicked their bloody. He was up 1490 01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,479 Speaker 6: and then you know, Monday morning, the back of work 1491 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 6: and they're looking after their family so they get their 1492 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 6: care and he mustay he took it all in. I 1493 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,040 Speaker 6: could see him, and he went away, and a week 1494 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,519 Speaker 6: later he sent me a song working Classmen, and I 1495 01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,439 Speaker 6: remember hearing the demo and thinking, I think this song's 1496 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:33,920 Speaker 6: going to define my career literally, and uh so I 1497 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,760 Speaker 6: finished recording those songs. By the time I'd finished recording both, 1498 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,000 Speaker 6: you know, all those songs, I knew I had a 1499 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 6: really good record. I felt. I felt I had a 1500 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 6: really good record on my on my hands, and it 1501 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,480 Speaker 6: was just now it was how to get it across 1502 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,799 Speaker 6: to people. I came back to Australia and Michael Godinski, 1503 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,479 Speaker 6: my dear friend and my partner and crime who you 1504 01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 6: know who I loved daily. Michael and I sat and 1505 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:57,880 Speaker 6: we had so many songs I had to be a 1506 01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,519 Speaker 6: double record and he going, we're talking at the time, 1507 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,800 Speaker 6: and I remember a double record in nineteen eighty five. 1508 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 6: I think it might have been forty five dollars or 1509 01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 6: something like that was expensive, and that's too expensive. You know, 1510 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,240 Speaker 6: people are struggling, you know. It was like it's like 1511 01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,280 Speaker 6: the times are now, you know, people were making hard 1512 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 6: times back to buy records, and so we did everything 1513 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 6: we could. We pulled favors from the art department, so 1514 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,560 Speaker 6: we did all this and we managed to get the 1515 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 6: record and we and we we got we got them 1516 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:25,960 Speaker 6: so they could put it out at nineteen ninety nine, 1517 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:27,880 Speaker 6: so it was under twenty dollars and to get a 1518 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,800 Speaker 6: double album under twenty dollars, and I said, well we should, 1519 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 6: we should make a point of this and just say 1520 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,800 Speaker 6: this is for the working class people. So we called 1521 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 6: it for the Working Class Man. And I think the 1522 01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 6: fact that we came from the the it wasn't a gimmick, 1523 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 6: It wasn't sort of trying to you know, trying to 1524 01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:46,559 Speaker 6: play people, was trying to make things worth while for 1525 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,799 Speaker 6: them and thinking thinking about the situation of the public. 1526 01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,200 Speaker 6: They all sort of jumped on it and ended up 1527 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,679 Speaker 6: just going crazy. It was, you know, sold six hundred 1528 01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 6: thousand copies and it was a record that was sort 1529 01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 6: of that literally changed my life. 1530 01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:01,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking for to seeing it.

You know how 1577 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,680 Speaker 2: the younger generation loves knowing that they've got the ADHD 1578 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 2: and the anxiety and the depression and stuff like that. 1579 01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:13,840 Speaker 2: Unexpected problem with this is that they are now expecting 1580 01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,800 Speaker 2: to retire early because they cannot imagine having to work 1581 01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 2: with all of these you know, encumbrances, these burdens until 1582 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,320 Speaker 2: last sixty five.

And it's the highest 1586 01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 2: of any highest share of any generational group, right, which 1587 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,280 Speaker 2: be no surprise to you whatsoever. Now this is potentially 1588 01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,240 Speaker 2: I would just like to point out to you problematic 1589 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 2: for Western economies, because if it's happening in the UK, 1590 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:45,760 Speaker 2: it's happening here, it's happening in America, it's happening in 1591 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,120 Speaker 2: Australia and everywhere.

This is really awesome. 1613 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,639 Speaker 2: Got the strongest hint yet that afraid trade deal between 1614 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 2: ourselves and India might actually be signed next year because 1615 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,240 Speaker 2: the Trade Minister Tom McClay was speaking at a business 1616 01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 2: council thing the Indian New Zealand Business Council event Friday 1617 01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 2: evening in Auckland and said he thinks it's going to 1618 01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,720 Speaker 2: be signed next year. This is lining up with what 1619 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:22,960 Speaker 2: business desk is hearing from a whole bunch of sources 1620 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 2: that it looks like next year and what that means 1621 01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,360 Speaker 2: is that Luxon goes to India maybe in January. I 1622 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:30,679 Speaker 2: think it's January next year rather than January twenty seven, 1623 01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,960 Speaker 2: and Mody makes a trip over here. So that is 1624 01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:34,880 Speaker 2: very very big news. Twenty two away from. 1625 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 12: Nine International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1626 01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 12: mind for New Zealand business. 1627 01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 2: Rod Little, UK correspondent is with us right now. 1628 01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,240 Speaker 3: Hi there, rod Hi, I had a good talk. 1629 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 2: Good to talk to you, mate. Listen, how do you 1630 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 2: think that meeting went for Zelenski at number ten? 1631 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 15: Well that was a number ten about as well for 1632 01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,920 Speaker 15: Zelensky as it could go. But he is, as Donald 1633 01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,879 Speaker 15: Trump keeps telling him, has no cards. The only cards 1634 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 15: he has are Europe basically, and Europe is still firmly 1635 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:15,479 Speaker 15: behind Ukraine, but it doesn't have the muscle to back 1636 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,439 Speaker 15: that up. So this was a meeting with Sakir Starmarrimanuel Macrol, 1637 01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:24,559 Speaker 15: Friedrich Metz and Vladimir Vladimir is Zelensky and Vlaelenski says 1638 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 15: Ukraine can't manage without European and American support. And these 1639 01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 15: were builders kind of crisis talks. Given the Trump has 1640 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:36,519 Speaker 15: been snippy again about Zelensky and said that Puden seems 1641 01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:39,120 Speaker 15: to us to have accepted the deal, which he hasn't done, 1642 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 15: of course, which is the other problem. But what Starmer said, 1643 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:46,320 Speaker 15: and what I think you're going to hear from the 1644 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:51,040 Speaker 15: French and Germans is somewhere a little short of no, 1645 01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:55,360 Speaker 15: Zelensky mustn't keep up any land. I think you're not 1646 01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 15: going to hear that. Starma was effusive in his praise 1647 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:03,360 Speaker 15: of Donald Trump for attempting to find a peaceful settlement, 1648 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:08,560 Speaker 15: but said that Ukraine shouldn't be left behind, must be supported, 1649 01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,559 Speaker 15: and that Putin mustn't be allowed to win, but came 1650 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:15,120 Speaker 15: a long way short of giving the kind of unequivocal 1651 01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 15: backing which undoubtedly Zelensky wants. 1652 01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,160 Speaker 2: What do you think, rod is the most likely outcome 1653 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 2: here is that Zelensky gives up all the land that 1654 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 2: Pusan wants, or does he just give up a. 1655 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:26,960 Speaker 4: Portion of it? 1656 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 15: I think probably the majority of it. I think kind 1657 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,360 Speaker 15: of Crimea is a foregone conclusion, isn't it. And there 1658 01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:39,120 Speaker 15: is a very very strong argument to say that in 1659 01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 15: any case Crimea should be part of Russia, given its 1660 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:50,559 Speaker 15: ethnic population, given the long historic alliance between Crimea and Moscow. 1661 01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,720 Speaker 15: The one sticky area, the one area where perhaps Selensky 1662 01:18:56,800 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 15: can get something back, is on don Bass, where again 1663 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 15: there's a very large Russian speaking population. But he does 1664 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:12,280 Speaker 15: have more moral and kind of philosophical and moral claim 1665 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 15: over the area. But how it will all end, God 1666 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 15: only knows. All of it will depend on the end 1667 01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 15: on Vladimir Putin, which is not the best of all 1668 01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 15: possible options, is it. 1669 01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,439 Speaker 2: No, not at all. Now I see the Scottish news 1670 01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:26,640 Speaker 2: at the center of the strange gender round seems to 1671 01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:28,880 Speaker 2: have won a little bit of a victorysity. 1672 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:33,559 Speaker 15: She has, indeed, and I broke open the champagne a 1673 01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,800 Speaker 15: short while ago. There's just me here, but I thought 1674 01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 15: i'd toast her in kind of private. Yeah. I mean 1675 01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:44,439 Speaker 15: everything has changed in this country as a consequence of 1676 01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 15: the Supreme Court decision of April the sixteenth this year, 1677 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,439 Speaker 15: which made it quite clear that in legal purposes woman 1678 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 15: meant a biological female, and that has changed everything. There 1679 01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,679 Speaker 15: are still plenty of people who resisted, including those from 1680 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:06,480 Speaker 15: the NHS service in Fife in Scotland, which relentlessly persecuted 1681 01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:09,840 Speaker 15: this poor woman Sandy Peggy, a nurse who objected to 1682 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:13,880 Speaker 15: having a bloke changing in her changing room. You know, 1683 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,920 Speaker 15: she said, I don't want to do this, and they 1684 01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 15: persecuted her and persecuted her, and now they've been done 1685 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,479 Speaker 15: for it, and there will be some settlement, as in 1686 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 15: the Scottish legal system, will go later to a settlement 1687 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,639 Speaker 15: which will give her some money. But that's not the point. 1688 01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,519 Speaker 15: It's a moral issue. But we had last week the 1689 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:37,200 Speaker 15: Girl Guides Association and the Women's Institute, both of whom 1690 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 15: still cleave to the delusion that a transgendered woman is 1691 01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 15: actually a real woman. They're still cleaning to that, but 1692 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:52,880 Speaker 15: accepting the law and saying that henceforth only women, biological 1693 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,680 Speaker 15: women will be allowed into the Guides and the Women's Institute. 1694 01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:01,280 Speaker 15: So that Supreme Court decision has been game changer. And 1695 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,439 Speaker 15: here's my guest, because I don't believe that the law 1696 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:09,479 Speaker 15: is always pristine and dolliest and beyond a political bias. 1697 01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,240 Speaker 15: I don't think the Supreme Court decision would have come 1698 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:15,640 Speaker 15: to that decision. The Supreme Court would have come to 1699 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 15: that decision four years ago. You know, I think there's 1700 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,680 Speaker 15: been a whole seed change on the issue here and 1701 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:22,439 Speaker 15: that's part of it. 1702 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:23,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I quite agree with you. 1703 01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:23,720 Speaker 12: Rod. 1704 01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,400 Speaker 2: Always lovely to chat, to enjoy those bubbles. That's Rod Little, 1705 01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 2: UK correspondent on the subject of the UK be something 1706 01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,519 Speaker 2: of a win for Prince Harry as well because he's 1707 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 2: won a battle to get a full security risk assessment 1708 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,759 Speaker 2: done by the UK government. Now this has been long standing, 1709 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 2: ongoing and it seemed to have died of death in public, 1710 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 2: but on the quiet he's still been going at it. 1711 01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:47,719 Speaker 2: And basically how if you don't remember how it started, 1712 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,200 Speaker 2: was because when he fled with MiGs, it with what 1713 01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:54,280 Speaker 2: sourface he left the Royals, they basically they got snippy 1714 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,440 Speaker 2: with them and they cut him off for his security, 1715 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,160 Speaker 2: which was a wild thing to do actually, because whether 1716 01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,360 Speaker 2: you like him or not, the guy is at risk, right, 1717 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 2: I mean he's given the highest risk category, probably because 1718 01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:05,840 Speaker 2: he runs his mouth off and does stupid things like 1719 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 2: runs off with Megan Markle and and the other people 1720 01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,160 Speaker 2: in the category at the time were like to raise 1721 01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,840 Speaker 2: a may the Prime Minister, then the Queen who is 1722 01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:14,680 Speaker 2: the monarch at the time. So you know, if he's 1723 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,800 Speaker 2: up there with those two, he's really at a fair 1724 01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,840 Speaker 2: bit of risk anyway, he's been quite fighting it on 1725 01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 2: the quiet. Still, It's been reported that he was told 1726 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 2: on Friday that the Royal and the VIP Executive Committee 1727 01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,879 Speaker 2: which they call RAVAK, which is the Home Office committee 1728 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:31,280 Speaker 2: responsible for decisions like this, this has changed. Tech has 1729 01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,519 Speaker 2: instructed its risk management board to reassess his threat level 1730 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:36,360 Speaker 2: for the first time in nearly six years. The good 1731 01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,880 Speaker 2: news for him, of course, is if they ressess, I mean, look, 1732 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:40,599 Speaker 2: this could be part of him making up with Charles 1733 01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,280 Speaker 2: with dad. If they reassess it, if they say yep, 1734 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 2: you need security, may open the door to him bringing 1735 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 2: the family over to come and see because I don't 1736 01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,200 Speaker 2: even know if Granddad's met the grandkids, but they might 1737 01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:51,760 Speaker 2: open that door and there might be a bit of 1738 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 2: a reconciliation. So fingers crossed for him, because that was 1739 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 2: a bit of a crime against him. 1740 01:22:55,479 --> 01:23:00,240 Speaker 1: Quarter two The Mike Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on 1741 01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,720 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks that Be. 1742 01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,080 Speaker 2: Donald Trump has just he's just in the middle of 1743 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 2: hosting an economic focus roundtable at the where the White 1744 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,479 Speaker 2: House and just basically telling us everything that they've decided. 1745 01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,360 Speaker 2: But one of the things is that he is committed 1746 01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,519 Speaker 2: to tackling affordability, even though of course Donald Trump doesn't 1747 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:20,160 Speaker 2: think there is an affordability crisis. 1748 01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,920 Speaker 14: Affordability, but you can call it affordability or anything you want. 1749 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:29,439 Speaker 14: But the Democrats caused the affordability problem, and we're the 1750 01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:32,919 Speaker 14: ones that are fixing it. So it's a very simple statement. 1751 01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 14: They caused it, we're fixing it. And they have a 1752 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,280 Speaker 14: tendency to just say this election is based on affordability, 1753 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:42,680 Speaker 14: and nobody questions him, you know, nobody says, well, what 1754 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:46,519 Speaker 14: do you mean by that, But they just say the word. 1755 01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:48,920 Speaker 14: They never said anything else because they caused the problem. 1756 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:50,560 Speaker 14: But we're fixing the problem. 1757 01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. So anyway, the tariffs are brought in a whole 1758 01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,519 Speaker 2: lot of money to the American economy, and as a result, 1759 01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,439 Speaker 2: he can now pay farmers all the money he's got. 1760 01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 14: We're taking in billions, were really get in trillions of 1761 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,759 Speaker 14: dollars if you think about it, Scott, because the real numbers, 1762 01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:05,960 Speaker 14: you know, when you think of all the money being 1763 01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:10,200 Speaker 14: poured into the country for new auto plants and all 1764 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:10,960 Speaker 14: of the other things. 1765 01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 16: AI. 1766 01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:17,960 Speaker 14: So what we're doing is we're taking a relatively small portion. 1767 01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,959 Speaker 22: Of that and we're going to be giving and providing 1768 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,840 Speaker 22: it to the farmers in economic assistance. And we love 1769 01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 22: our farmers, and as you know, the farmers like me 1770 01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,760 Speaker 22: because you know, based on voting trends. You could coote 1771 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:36,040 Speaker 22: voting trends or anything else, but they're great people. 1772 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:37,839 Speaker 4: They are the backbone of our country. 1773 01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,759 Speaker 14: So we're going to use that money to provide twelve 1774 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 14: billion dollars in economic assistance to American farmers. Twelve billion 1775 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 14: is a lot of money. 1776 01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the twelve billion is obviously needed because the 1777 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:55,599 Speaker 2: tariffs are just working so well amazing. Now, The Economist 1778 01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:57,880 Speaker 2: has revealed its list of the best performing countries across 1779 01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 2: the rich world. I'm sorry to tell I'm going to 1780 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,280 Speaker 2: run you through this really quickly. I'm sorry to tell 1781 01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:04,800 Speaker 2: you we're in the bottom six. So it is not 1782 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 2: a surprise. Look whatever, it's going to get better next year. 1783 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:09,400 Speaker 2: This is just this is We've already been through this. 1784 01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:12,640 Speaker 2: It's onwards and upwards from here. So thirty six in 1785 01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:14,519 Speaker 2: the in the list in total, we're number thirty one, 1786 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:19,880 Speaker 2: so it goes US, Lithuania, Austria, Estonia, Finland, Slovakia. Australia 1787 01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:22,600 Speaker 2: is middle of the pack at eighteen. Top of the 1788 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:26,360 Speaker 2: pack with number one Portugal, then Ireland, then Israel. Then 1789 01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 2: in fourth place shared are Columbia and Spain, and then 1790 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,120 Speaker 2: sixth place shared Czech Republican Greece. Now how the economist 1791 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:33,559 Speaker 2: does this. They've done it for about I think it's 1792 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:38,880 Speaker 2: about five years now. They measure five different indicators inflation, inflation, breadth, GDP, jobs, 1793 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 2: stock market performance through the aggregate of it, and then 1794 01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 2: they rank the countries. What's let us down is jobs 1795 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 2: because there's been a one point three percent rise in unemployment, 1796 01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:50,040 Speaker 2: our GDP being rubbish, and then a very small increase 1797 01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 2: in share prices. They say it's about three percent. I mean, 1798 01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,120 Speaker 2: compare that to for example, Israel that's at fifty three 1799 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:58,400 Speaker 2: percent increase in their share prices. Good for us though, 1800 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 2: inflation which has come right back, so that helped us 1801 01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,800 Speaker 2: out a little bit. Right at the top, Portugil, what's 1802 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 2: going right for them is combined strong growth at GDP 1803 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:10,080 Speaker 2: growth that's about two point four percent, low inflation, buoyant 1804 01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 2: stock market they're going up at twenty one percent. Tourism 1805 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,280 Speaker 2: has boomed, Plenty of rich foreigners are moving to the 1806 01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:19,320 Speaker 2: country as well to take advantage of low taxes and 1807 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,639 Speaker 2: the GDP. That number I gave you is above average 1808 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:25,800 Speaker 2: for the European area. The Czech Republican Columbia also post 1809 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 2: decent increases in both output and employment, pushing them into 1810 01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,439 Speaker 2: the top third of the ranking. So I am picking 1811 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 2: that this has been our horrible year. So I'm picking 1812 01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:38,200 Speaker 2: next year you're going to be going up that list. 1813 01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:40,879 Speaker 2: I'll look forward to it.

Raiders v. Broncos. Yesterday the Broncos well won 1838 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:52,720 Speaker 2: twenty four to seventeen, but right at the end of 1839 01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 2: the game, the Raiders kicked a field goal, which meant 1840 01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,960 Speaker 2: that the overall points scored was outside the betting margin. 1841 01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:01,160 Speaker 2: It also meant that Portnoy lost two hundred and fifty 1842 01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:04,640 Speaker 2: thousand dollars and he immediately took to Twitter or x 1843 01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:05,960 Speaker 2: or whatever to let everyone know. 1844 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,680 Speaker 14: That's the worst feed of all time and will you 1845 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:13,800 Speaker 14: have to investigate the Raiders, and that investigates the Raiders, 1846 01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:15,320 Speaker 14: what are they doing? 1847 01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:17,599 Speaker 6: That's the worst beet. 1848 01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:18,080 Speaker 16: Of all time? 1849 01:28:18,439 --> 01:28:19,439 Speaker 2: That is cheating. 1850 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:21,839 Speaker 6: Pete Carroll should be in prison. 1851 01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:27,879 Speaker 11: Prison for Pete Carroll, the reps, everybody, this is prison. 1852 01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:29,799 Speaker 3: This is prison. 1853 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:33,280 Speaker 8: They fightd the ball by the way, they ran up 1854 01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:33,960 Speaker 8: and spiked it. 1855 01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,880 Speaker 12: As a templar prison Pete Carroll murder Pete Carroll. 1856 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 2: Oh well, that last bit didn't go down very well, 1857 01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,200 Speaker 2: did it, Because this is the same guy who's been 1858 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,639 Speaker 2: on Fox the last few months talking about threats against 1859 01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 2: Jews and how no one should be threatening them.
