1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Digging through the spin spins to find the real story. 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: Or it's Ryan Bridge on hither duplicy Ellen drive with 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: one New Zealand. 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: Let's get connected and news talks. 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 3: He'd be good afternoon. It is seven after four, coming up. 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 3: Louise Upston's fighting back against labor who's having a crack 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 3: about child poverty. Greg furn on a New Zealand's proper 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 3: results will speak to the lawyer for this eighteen year 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 3: old overstayer. He's staying the cop who literally belted his 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 3: kids and Judith Collins on the Chinese naval ships off 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 3: Australia's coast. Ryan Bridge, Well that didn't take long. The 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 3: bitching continues today between Air New Zealand and Auckland Airport. 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 3: They like an old married couple this too, bickering and 14 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: nagging each other. And that's up there. They're so old 15 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: the past, caring who's listening, They're way beyond that point. 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 3: They're doing it in front of everyone, and today it's 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: through the media. They have of course been doing this 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 3: for ages over airport upgrade cost at Auckland Airport, which 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: Air New Zealand doesn't want to pay for, thank you 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 3: very much. But today they've both opened their books. This 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 3: is for the last six months. Air New Zealand is 22 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 3: down but still made one hundred million dollars profit. Auckland 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 3: Airport they are up two percent, one hundred and forty 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 3: eight million dollars profit. And they've both been out there 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 3: today like a dog with a bone having a crack. 26 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: Which is kind of funny because you've got two major 27 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 3: companies not competing with one another, both essentially monopolies, both 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: making a profit at each other's throats. Today's fight is 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: basically about where the Air New Zealand is partly to 30 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 3: blame for our tourism numbers, which you know they haven't 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: bounced back to pre COVID levels. We all know this. 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 3: We have right now one point five million fewer seats 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: on our domestic network than we did in twenty nineteen, 34 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 3: and you guessed it. Fewer seats means well, fees have 35 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 3: gone up thirty percent and Air New Zealand controls eighty 36 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: four percent of the domestic market. So according to the 37 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 3: airport reading between the lines, this is the New Zealand's fault. Basically, 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: it's a monopoly and it must be pushing up prices, right, 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: But they do have planes that can't fly right now? 40 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: Remember the engine issues, they've been grounded or they're getting fixed. 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: We've also had inflation. And isn't it a bit rich 42 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 3: for Auckland Airport which is a monopoly, because where else 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: are you're going to land a seven five seven in 44 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: Auckland to be throwing stones at glasshouses about another monopoly 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: a little bit? I think the answer is yes. But 46 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: the difference is that Auckland Airport, because it's a monopoly, 47 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: has economic restrictions placed on it, so it basically doesn't 48 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 3: get too big for its boots right and Air New 49 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: Zealand's domestic network, remember eighty four percent controlled by foreign 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: does not and that is what the airport has a 51 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: problem with. Still doesn't need I don't think doesn't mean 52 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: that it needs pricing regulation. What we really need is 53 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: more competition in the market in our domestic airlines. Then 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 3: we might get some peace and quiet from the aviation 55 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: industry bickering bitches. Nine minutes after four year on news Talk, 56 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: said b Over in Australia, so we all know about 57 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: the campaign that our government has launched. Here the slogan 58 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: everyone must go. It's been likened to a clearance sale, 59 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: and now an Australian lawyer is warning ossies considering a 60 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: trip coming to New Zealand to quote, go at your 61 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: own risk. He says. Since acc was introduced in the seventies, 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: we've become a legal liability free zone with no safety 63 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: culture or ability to get compensation for injury or death. 64 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: He's the director of Carter Captner Law. Peter Carter is 65 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: his name, and he's with me this afternoon. Hi, Peter, 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: go after I and Ryan. Well, you've really set the 67 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: cat amongst the pigeons with this one, haven't you. 68 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 4: Well. 69 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 5: I don't mean to offend New Zealanders at all. I 70 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 5: know that it's it's not good to comment on other countries' protocols, 71 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 5: but it's important that the Australians know exactly what goes 72 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 5: on there in terms of injuries caused by a reckless 73 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: or careless conduct. 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 3: This is because we have a CC. You essentially can't 75 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: sue us if a car hits you on the street. Here, 76 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: you can't an Australian can't sue. 77 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 5: That's right, and we see that as very odd and 78 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 5: very anti consumer. But the point is that where Australians 79 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: go to New Zealand. The ACC stops paying as soon 80 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 5: as they land back in Australia, so they're an extreme disadvantage. 81 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: When you get back to Australia. Is there no government 82 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: assistance for you whatsoever or just for loss of income 83 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: like you get presumably get health cover there. 84 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 5: Well you could get health cover, yes, under Medicare and 85 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 5: but no, there's no replacement income at all. That that 86 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 5: just doesn't happen. So Queensland. Sorry, I'm from Queensland, but 87 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 5: I was speaking on behalf of all Australians. If they're 88 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 5: maimed on a road in New Zealand or orphaned their 89 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 5: bread winner parent dies, they can't get anything to replace 90 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 5: the income that has lost because of that tragedy that 91 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 5: happened on New Zealand soil. 92 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: What's the situation and other holiday destinations for Australians. 93 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: Well, most countries have very good compensation rights. New Zealand 94 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 5: is an outlier. There aren't many places in the world 95 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 5: like that. So most other countries, United Kingdom, the United States, 96 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 5: Canada all have compensation systems that hold people accountable and 97 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 5: the people ensure against that. And it's the insurance that 98 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 5: pays that loss of income into the future. For some reason, 99 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 5: New Zealand decided that they do it on their own 100 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 5: and go a different direction in the early seventies. As 101 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 5: you say, Queens, sorry, Australians need to be aware of 102 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 5: that before they decide to travel in New Zealand, because 103 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 5: they do go at their own risk. 104 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: But do you just get insurance, don't you? 105 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 5: Well, travel insurance covers you while you're away, but once 106 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 5: you land back in Australia, once you set foot back 107 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 5: in Australian soil, travel insurance also stops. So no, it's 108 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 5: not easy to get insurance for that. 109 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 3: Have you have you come and visited us? Have you 110 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: been to New Zealand before? 111 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: I have? 112 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 5: Indeed a very nice place. I like it, but I'm 113 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 5: extra extra careful because of those risks. 114 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 3: Well, so you don't cross the road or you just 115 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: care that when you. 116 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 5: Do, I try to avoid crossing the road. 117 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: Really do you come here in Cotton Wool? 118 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 5: Well you do. Look, as I said, I don't want 119 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 5: to offend New Zealanders. 120 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 3: Don't worry it is don't worry about offending us. Don't 121 00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 3: worry about that. 122 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 5: It is a real risk. It is a real risk. 123 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 5: You're not you don't have that. You do have the 124 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 5: acc that will look after you after an accident, but 125 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 5: visitors from other countries don't and they need to be 126 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 5: aware of this particular risk. 127 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: Interesting point, Peter, thank you very much for that. I 128 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 3: don't expect pleasure. I don't expect you did the bungee. 129 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 5: Then, certainly not. 130 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: Peter Carter, great to have you on the show. That 131 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: is the director of Carter Captain of Law in Brisbane. 132 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: Peter Carter just making the point, which is I mean, 133 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: it's a fair point to make, isn't it, because the 134 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: system really does work for us. I mean it's it's 135 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: great for you if you're in New Zealander, but if 136 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: you're a foreigner coming here, and we did look, I've 137 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: just had someone texting what about Balley and Thailand where 138 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: all the Aussies love to go. I did ask our 139 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 3: producers to have a look at that, and they have 140 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 3: you pay one hundred and fifty percent of the local 141 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: health costs you will pay while you're there, and then 142 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: presumably you would just see them. I mean, if someone 143 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: hit you with their car or whatever, you would just 144 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: suit them. The number to text it is fourteen after 145 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: four news talks theb Darcy's here next with the latest 146 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: on Will Young. 147 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: It's the Heather Dupissy Allan Drive Full Show. 148 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: Podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News TALKSB. 149 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: News TALKSB. It is seventeen minutes after four lots of 150 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: your texts coming in. On this interview we have with 151 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: the Australian lawyer who says come to New Zealand at 152 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 3: your own risk. This is in response to our tourism campaign. 153 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: So he won't travel unless he can sue, says this text. 154 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: That's bizarre. No foreign national should be admitted to New 155 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 3: Zealand without travel insurance and not be eligible for acc 156 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: says Murray. Marie says, Ryan, really, this man Peter from 157 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: Queensland is ridiculous. If an Australian goes to eighteen to 158 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: ninety percent of countries around the world, there is no compensation. 159 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 3: But his point, Maria is that you can sue whereas 160 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: you can't sue here, so it's different. Anyway, It is 161 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: eighteen minutes up. 162 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 6: That never happen. 163 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: What we don't know what on the I agree, I agree, 164 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: we have Darcy here. Darcy, good afternoon, Good afternoon. 165 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: Mister Brick. 166 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 6: Good to have you, and indeed to see you as well. 167 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: And tell me. So what's happening with Will Young? 168 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 7: And this? 169 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: He's created a bit of a conundrum for the black Caps, 170 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: hasn't he? 171 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 6: Will Young's been on the exterior for quite some time now. 172 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 6: He's an elegant batsman. He knows how to score runs, 173 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 6: but he can't quite get in his role on the team. 174 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 6: When he gets into the middle order, he can't quite 175 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 6: make it click. But he covered for Rechen Revender, he opened. 176 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 6: He scored a beautiful ton last night, Tom Lathan back 177 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 6: and Form he scored a ton as well. So the 178 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 6: next discussion point is when rechend Revendra comes back, does 179 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 6: Devin Conway exit and Young stays in the team? What 180 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 6: does Young exit and Devin Conway stays in the team. 181 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 6: So that's the debate now that the selectors have to have, 182 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 6: and it makes a lot of point in fac There's 183 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 6: a newsletic called the Bounce. Dylan Cleeder Form, a colleague 184 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 6: of mine from us even Held, writes that, and he 185 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 6: wrote in his news that today that Will Young looked 186 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 6: like he was batting on a different surface to everybody. 187 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 6: He was that assured of what he was doing. It 188 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 6: was wonderful wonderful to watch on himself along with Lathan 189 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 6: and the brutal Phillips. Glen Phillips set up that victory 190 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 6: over Pakistani, so it's great to see. 191 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: Now Rugby league the plans for the second NRL team, 192 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 3: the New Zealand NRAL team, the Warriors being accused of 193 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: trying to shut it all down. 194 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 6: Do you understand why they would? 195 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: Well, because they don't want the competition. 196 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 8: There's two schools of thought. 197 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 6: And David Moffatt's going to join us on Sports Talk 198 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 6: up after seven o'clock because he's the CEO of the 199 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 6: South Island keya bit that want to get involved in 200 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 6: the South Island. One school of thoughts say, is I 201 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 6: understand protecting a patch. I don't want to have the 202 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 6: sponsors coming on board. They don't want anyone stealing that fire. 203 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 6: This is the Warriors. They want to be solely focused 204 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 6: on them. And David Moffatt's going on he haven't really 205 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 6: done much. I mean really cell phones haven't won and 206 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 6: the other other side. But let's thought what happened with 207 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 6: Auckland FC and the Phoenix Now that rivalry it's sold out. 208 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 6: It go media statium this week in and I think 209 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 6: that creates more energy behind the competition itself. So if 210 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 6: there's a second NROL team, surely that's better for the Warriors. 211 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 6: Even though the Warriors say we need to wait another 212 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 6: team or fifteen years, not that it's there. 213 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: Why do they think we need to wait another ten 214 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: or fifty because presumably it would be great for player 215 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 3: development too, you'd have more opportunity pathways. Yeah. 216 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, And then that's what the Mona pacifica team looking 217 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 6: at as well. It's like, hey, we want a big 218 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 6: Pacific team here. We've got so many players, maybe we 219 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 6: could get a sided. And then you've got the Orca 220 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 6: who wants to run out our christ Church as well. 221 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 6: There are all these consortiums desperate to climb in. But 222 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 6: you know what the overarching, the overbearing situation here is. 223 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 6: I don't think the NRL wants us anyway. I don't 224 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 6: think they want another team. They've not communicated, they've not talked, 225 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 6: they've not been open. Avalanders is running around trying to 226 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 6: find billions of dollars from everybody else than while they're 227 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 6: getting six hundred million out of the Aussie government to 228 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 6: put Papua New Guinean and try and tell him. It's 229 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 6: got something to do with Chinese interests in Northern anyway. 230 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, well it certainly does. It's quite political. That very fun, 231 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 3: isn't it. Darcy. Thank you. We'll see you tonight, Darcy. 232 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 6: Wait, Joe Parker's on the show tonight with that Joseph. 233 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 6: Joseph Parker on the show. Let's just get off the 234 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 6: fame with him. Beyond the show talking about us big 235 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 6: title fight. 236 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: This w com Peters is on his way to go 237 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: see Joseph Parker fight. Darcy Watergrove's sports talk host. You'll 238 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 3: be with it at seven o'clock tonight on News Talks. 239 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 3: Here b it's twenty one. 240 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: After four putting the challenging questions to the people at 241 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: the heart of the story. It's Ryan Bridge on Hither 242 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: Duplice Ellen Drive with one New Zealand Let's get connected 243 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: News Talks. 244 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: There'd be twenty four minutes after four. So a couple 245 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: of texts here which are following up on the interview 246 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 3: we did with the Australian lawyer who's come out and 247 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 3: said in response to our advertising campaign, you know, come 248 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: over to New Zealand, come visit. He said, go at 249 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 3: your own risk because if you go to New Zealand 250 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 3: and we have the acc no fault system. You can't 251 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: sue for loss of income. So you come here, you 252 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: get hit by a car, you lose your legs. Sorry, 253 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: this is quite an extreme example I'm throwing at you 254 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 3: as an example. You go home, you've got no income, 255 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 3: you're up the creek without a paddle. So he's saying, 256 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 3: just be careful in New Zealand. In fact, he did 257 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 3: say when he came here to New Zealand to visit 258 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 3: for a holiday, he didn't cross the road for fear 259 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 3: of getting hit by car. Anyway, this is just listening 260 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 3: to your interview with the Australian guy. Overseas visitors are 261 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 3: covered in New Zealand with our ACC I'm a nurse. 262 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: We have frequent visitors who have had accidents here and 263 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 3: they get acc while they're in New Zealand. TC. Thank 264 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: you for your message. Yes, you are right. They do 265 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 3: get health cover acc cover while they're in New Zealand, 266 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: but then once you go home you don't. That's his 267 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: point and that's what he's got a problem with. Hey, 268 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: Chris penk who's the Associate Minister of Immigration. He is 269 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: letting this is the eighteen year old overstayer in New Zealand, 270 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 3: letting him stay in New Zealand. What I didn't realize 271 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 3: and what he has made clear in a statement today 272 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: is the Minister only became aware of this case at 273 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 3: all after the media started making inquiries. Michael Mora at 274 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 3: the New Zealand Herald started making inquiries last Friday afternoon 275 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 3: and the implication early on was that the Minister was 276 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: across it. So clearly the Minister wasn't. Anyway, his lawyer 277 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 3: is with us after five o'clock this evening, so we'll 278 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: have more on that and find out. Particularly want to 279 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: know what's happening with the parents. Twenty six after four 280 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 3: So these Chinese navy vessels have you seen this in 281 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: the news, that have been floating past, well not floating, 282 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: but sailing past Sydney. Our defense forces are apparently monitoring them. 283 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: Judith Collins is across the situation. She's been briefed on it. 284 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: She's on the show after six o'clock, so we'll ask 285 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 3: her about that. But what signal do you think they're 286 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: trying to sent Because there's a couple of different schools 287 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 3: of thought. One is there's this big wig from the 288 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: US military who's in Australia at the moment. He's the 289 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: head of the US Indo Pacific Command, So big, big 290 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: dude relevant to the region. Did the Chinese know that 291 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 3: and then drive their vessels past Sydney as a hey, 292 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 3: you know, we'll look at us. Or the other school 293 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 3: of thought is that it's just basically them showing that 294 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 3: they can that they've got boats and they can drive them. 295 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 3: Literally that's it. So we'll ask Judith Collins what she 296 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 3: thinks about all of that. That's after six twenty seven 297 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 3: after fourth News Talk said. 298 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: Be checking the point of the story. It's Ryan Bridge 299 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: on hither Dupless Allen drive with one New Zealand let's 300 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: get connected and US Talk said be. 301 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 3: Because I'm twenty five minutes away from five year on 302 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 3: news Talk said be. So the old Toto thing at 303 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 3: Parliament yesterday is carrying over to today. It's like episode 304 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: two in the ALTA. It's the sequel. Jerry Brown has 305 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 3: apparently made a ruling on it, so we'll find out 306 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: exactly what that is. Barry Soap has been watching, he's 307 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: across it. He's with us. Before five this evening, lots 308 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 3: of people texting in about we were talking of the 309 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: navy ships, the Chinese navy ships over in Sydney, off 310 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: the coast of Sydney. We're speaking to Judith Collins about 311 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 3: it later and I said, drive the boat. You know 312 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: these captains who drive the boat. People said, you can't 313 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: say drive the boat. This one says you have to 314 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: say sail the boat, not drive a boat. But if 315 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: it's not a sail boat, then would you be sailing it? 316 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 9: You know? 317 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 3: And these are not sail boats Ryan, the Chinese.

The next bloke will speak the Premier 336 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 13: of South Australia. 337 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 3: We have more on this shortly with Murriyold's Finally, California 338 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 3: man who has returned to the house that he evacuated 339 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 3: from during the fires, has discovered he has a new flatmate. 340 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 3: A two hundred and twenty kilogram black bear has taken 341 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: up residents in the cruel space underneath his home of 342 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 3: Petish and Wildlife is working on a plan to a 343 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: Victor Beer.

The city man has been arrested for three 351 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 3: anti Semitic attacks. 352 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 4: Well he has. 353 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 14: He was already in custody after being charged with the 354 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 14: attempt at fire bombing of a synagogue in Newtown for 355 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 14: those who know Newtown, it's just in the inner West 356 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 14: of Sydney and now Strikeforce Pearl police have accused him 357 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 14: of fire bombing the former home of one of Australia's 358 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 14: leading figures in the Jewish community, plus an anti Semitic 359 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 14: vandalism attack with another half wit in Sydney's East on 360 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 14: the same day as a Newtown attack. Police have used 361 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 14: a close circuit telly and telephone records to put the 362 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 14: pair there. It's also been revealed this fellow seven year 363 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 14: old is now in protective custody. In prison, he's been 364 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 14: attacked twice and nicknamed Nazi, apparently by other prisoners. According 365 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 14: to his lawyer, these two attacks happen after word got 366 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 14: around inside jail that he's a white supremacist. So he 367 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 14: is in protective custody and he and his co accuses 368 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 14: will be up in court. 369 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure April. 370 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 3: All right, Murray. We had that RBA decision yesterday and 371 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 3: unemployment today up to four point one percent. 372 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 4: That's true. Yeah, four point one. 373 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 14: And that's the way the Reserve Bank of Australia wants 374 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 14: the unemployment rate to go, the argument being that if 375 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 14: more people are actually out of work, there'll be less 376 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 14: pressure on inflation and that'll mean more opportunities to lower 377 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 14: interest rates. 378 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: It's a bit of a paradox. 379 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 14: These figures because you've got full time jobs up by 380 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 14: fifty five thousand, part time jobs down by ten thousand, 381 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 14: so there's more confidence out there amongst employers. They are 382 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 14: willing to hire people. That's pretty clear. The number of 383 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 14: unemployed people went up by twenty three thousand. More women 384 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 14: found work than men. But the Reserve Bank made it 385 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 14: very clear on Tuesday won't be rushing to slash interest 386 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 14: rates while the labor market remains very very strong. So 387 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 14: we've had this one, but they're saying, don't hold your 388 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 14: bread for the second. It could come the next month, 389 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 14: but it might not. 390 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: All right, what about the steel works, So it's a 391 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 3: lot of money to be spending to keep it alive 392 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 3: until there's a new operator. Are they trying to do 393 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 3: something green with us? 394 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 4: Well? 395 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 14: Interestingly no, I mean the Premiere of South Australia, who's 396 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 14: a very savvy operator. He's actually closed down a green 397 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 14: hydrogen plant. I'm not sure from this distance if it's 398 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 14: going to be a permanent closure or it's just been 399 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 14: shut down. In the meantime, with all the focus going 400 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 14: into boosting the steel manufacturing capability of Wayela, it is 401 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 14: Australia's number one steel. 402 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 4: Manufacturing center, makes around seventy five percent of Australia's steel. 403 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 14: It's a city of twenty two thousand people and twelve 404 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 14: hundred are directly employed by the steel works. So that's 405 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 14: why the federal and South Australian governments have jumped in 406 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 14: with two point four billion Australian dollars three hundred billion 407 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 14: bucks to creditors right away, because of course the state 408 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 14: government put the steel works in the administration yesterday because 409 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 14: of the debts. It owes so much money. So three 410 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 14: hundred million dollars to creditors, half a billion dollars to 411 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 14: be spent on keeping the steel works open and an 412 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 14: upgrade of. 413 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 4: Course of steel works infrastructure. 414 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 14: I mean, I think you know this thing is it's 415 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 14: pretty old and you have to look at this too 416 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 14: through the prism of politics, because there's no mistaking alban 417 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 14: easy there propping up a very significant local industry in 418 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 14: South Australia. He says, we simply can't be a country 419 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 14: that just digs stuff out of the ground. We have 420 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 14: to manufacture things as well. Steel very very important to 421 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 14: the Australian economy and so that's why we're spending big 422 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 14: on this clapped out steel works in Whyala. 423 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, what has done and said anything about this yet? 424 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 3: Because obviously the Union. 425 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 14: Peter Dutton has been absent from the political stage ever 426 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 14: since Tuesday's interest rate cut. 427 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: I don't know where he's hiding, but he's hiding somewhere. 428 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 14: I mean, they'll probably find some reason to say, oh, 429 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 14: you know, it's too much money or whatever. But it's 430 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 14: hard to argue in the context of an election that 431 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 14: it's bad to spend money employing people, saving a vital 432 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 14: Australian industry and. 433 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: Keeping a town alive in a pretty important state. 434 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly, certainly good politics for Elbow.

So regardless if you're 490 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 8: sitting behind your desk pushing a pen, not being very 491 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 8: extraordinary at what you do, you'll still know that if 492 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 8: you're there next year. It's tenure based, so the longer 493 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 8: you're there, the more you get paid automatically. Now, I remember, 494 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 8: you know, when I started in this business as a 495 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 8: journalist many many years ago, we used to have an 496 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 8: automatic pay scale as well. You could jump them though 497 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 8: if you were better at your job than others. And 498 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 8: I assume that's the way in the public service. But 499 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 8: those that really slack, they don't. They won't be sacked. 500 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,719 Speaker 8: They'll still sit at their desk pushing their pen, getting 501 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 8: more money every your year, stay until the retirement and 502 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 8: have a nice bonus at the end of the year. 503 00:25:59,640 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 3: Game. 504 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 8: Now Flurford Simon's who's with the PSA? She defends vehemently. 505 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 3: Course she does she said they should have every Friday 506 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 3: off too. Basically, honestly, it's extraordinary. 507 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 8: And it was a directive that was put down by 508 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 8: Brian Wright. She's making a big difference it. So he's 509 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 8: put down a directive that was last December. It came 510 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 8: out today it got leaked that he told chief executives 511 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 8: that this practice could be at an end and they 512 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 8: are going to now sit up and take notice. 513 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 3: Because of course, there's nothing wrong with a pay increase, 514 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 3: but it should be a pay increase based on your 515 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 3: performance on merit on merit because and imagine, so the bill, 516 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,239 Speaker 3: as you said, it's five point nine percent up last year, 517 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 3: and that's under a national government. Remember in the wage bill, 518 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: Imagine if you could take that all of that money 519 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: and put it in how high you could pump someone's 520 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 3: wage if they're doing a great job. 521 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 8: And you'll remember, it's interesting, there's going to be big 522 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 8: changes in the SEREA. I'd suggest when you listen to Chris, 523 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 8: Chris Luxon has been saying, I mean, he's saying there 524 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 8: are very talented people on the public service that we 525 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 8: should be nurturing better. 526 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's sort of It's interesting because act has 527 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 3: a policy on that. Don't they much is some sort 528 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 3: of fund anyway, We'll cut to We'll cut to the 529 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 3: submissions the treaty principles built the cost of those. Have 530 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: we got some numbers more than two. 531 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 8: Hundred and seventy thousand dollars where it's costing the taxpayer 532 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 8: for these submissions. Now, there's an argument that why give 533 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 8: a submission to this bill because we know it's going 534 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 8: to fail anyway, So why waste your breath. I've been 535 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 8: watching a large number of these submissions and those who 536 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 8: are turning out to give them are mainly Moldy, are 537 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 8: mainly absolutely opposed to it. Understandably that's their view, But 538 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 8: why waste your time because you know at the end 539 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 8: of it it's going to be thrown out anyway. But 540 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 8: I guess the debate is out there. Little debate at 541 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 8: the Select commit though, because predominantly, from what I've seen, 542 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 8: the submissions are totally opposed to the bill. So it's 543 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 8: costing a lot of money. That's the price of democracy. 544 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 3: Well that's what they're saying. Yeah, hey, before we go, 545 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 3: there's been a couple of texts just in the last 546 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: half hour about your injury. You know, we sort of 547 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 3: alluded the other day that we would tell people what 548 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 3: happened to you you were injured, but we never actually 549 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 3: told them. So what's happened? 550 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 8: Well, I could say I was giving the middle finger 551 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 8: good night hand, but no, it was a bit of 552 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 8: a bike accident, sort of reaching out, a broken knuckle, 553 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 8: a joint actually in my ring fingers. So it's going 554 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 8: to be operated on. 555 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: Goodness me, how many surgeries are going to have? 556 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 8: I cannot keep out of the operating theater. I like 557 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 8: anesthetic so much. Sure, Ryan, and I'm going to get 558 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 8: back for more. 559 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 3: Hey, just before we do go actually the ku Mar case, 560 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 3: so he's actually going to be allowed to stay. The 561 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: Minister's decided. 562 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 8: Chris Pink. 563 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 3: I'm surprised that he didn't know before Michael Mara at 564 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 3: the Herald started knocking on the door. But he had 565 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 3: no idea of this case at all. 566 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, I really feel sorry for this young man. He's 567 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 8: eighteen years old. His mum came here more than I 568 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 8: think twenty years ago. She's been here illegally, but because 569 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 8: she was pregnant when she came, well when she came 570 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 8: or when she was here, gave birth to him. They 571 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 8: said you've got to go as well as your mother. 572 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 8: But the parents have got to go now. 573 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 3: But you know, we have rules, we have. 574 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 8: It's very sad, it's very satire. The family's been split 575 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 8: up unfortunately. 576 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, the parents are going. He's staying interesting. We'll talk 577 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: to the lawyer. Are the boys lawyer on the show 578 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 3: after five tonight we'll find out what's happening with those parents. 579 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 3: Very good to see you, cheers, very Soper with us. 580 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 3: It has just gone nine minutes away from five News Talk. 581 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: Shibb putting the tough questions to the newspeakers the mic 582 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: asking breakfast. 583 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 17: If I heard Adrian or correctly, fifty points will come 584 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 17: with another couple of cuts shortly and at that point, 585 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 17: all things being equal, we are in neutral territory. Adriana's 586 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 17: with us. The banks have passed on some but not all. 587 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 17: Is that acceptable or not? 588 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 10: The banks need to do better. They need to look 589 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 10: at their own margins and chase and compete for customers 590 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 10: much more vigorously. 591 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 17: Those profit margins you talked about. We saw a couple 592 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 17: of results in the last week or so. And I 593 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 17: always compare the Australian number to the New Zealand number 594 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 17: the New Zealand numbers always hired. Why hasn't that been 595 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 17: addressed so we get a better deal? 596 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean spot on the biggest challenges. Income streams 597 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 10: don't disrupt themselves, but they need disrupting. 598 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 17: Back tomorrow at six am the Make Hosking Breakfast with 599 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 17: the rain drove of the LAH News Talk ZB. 600 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 3: It has just gone six minutes away from five on 601 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 3: News Talks B Child poverty. So there's stats out today. 602 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 3: No major change to the stats from n twenty twenty 603 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: four compared to twenty twenty three, which is not great 604 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 3: because you want that number to be going down, right, 605 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 3: So thirteen point four percent this is a material hardship. 606 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: Now what does that actually mean. It means you are 607 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 3: going without a basic thing like heating, or doctor's visits, 608 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 3: or fruit and veggies, fresh fruit and veggies. Those are 609 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 3: the types of things they're talking about. So the target 610 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 3: for the government is nine percent of children. That number 611 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 3: at the moment is thirteen point four percent. Now, this 612 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 3: is based on a survey, so it can be a 613 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 3: little up and down, and it can be a little 614 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 3: inaccurate actually, because it's only nineteen thousand households when we 615 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: have about two million of them. Anyway, Luise Upstance on 616 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 3: the show. She's here after five talk about this and 617 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 3: respond to it now, just so you know, just Cinda 618 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 3: Adurn's goal for this particular stat was seven percent, so 619 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 3: slightly better than the nine that this government's aiming for. However, 620 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 3: by the time she left office it was still at 621 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 3: twelve and a half. 622 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: Bryan Bridge, she's. 623 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: Gone five away from five now. Lots of bills coming 624 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: being pluck from the ballot. I'll tell you about those. 625 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 3: Jenny Shipley form the Prime Minister has been at the 626 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: Treaty Principal's Bill at the Justice Select Committee. Here's what 627 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 3: she had to say today. 628 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 18: When I left Parliament twenty three years ago, I couldn't 629 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 18: conceive of the fact that I would then be in 630 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 18: front of you as I am today. I'm here because 631 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 18: I view this bill as unconscionable in terms of its 632 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 18: proposal to rethink the way in which we engage as 633 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 18: Treaty partners without reference to the Treaty partner in drafting 634 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 18: this bill. 635 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jennie Shipley, she's a lot more, you'd have to say, 636 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 3: measured in her comments today than she was. Remember she 637 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 3: used the words civil war the last time she spoke 638 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 3: about the Treaty Principal's bill, so she sounds a lot 639 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 3: more measured actually delivering her submission to the committee today. 640 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 3: You might be able to drink booze at Easter. Karen MacNulty, 641 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 3: the Labor MP. He's had his bill pluck from the 642 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 3: ballot today, very excited about that, and he has support 643 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 3: from the act Party already, the ACTINGP Cameron Luxton.

The figure 660 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 3: show from stats in z seventeen point seven percent of 661 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 3: all key we children were in poverty. That's based on 662 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 3: household and come after housing costs have been paid material 663 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 3: hardship that was just over thirteen percent. Target for the 664 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 3: government was nine percent. Loise Ubstance, their minister for Child Poverty. 665 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 3: Who's with me, hime? Minister, Good afternoon, Ryan. You're happy 666 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 3: with that, of course not. 667 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 21: I mean, no New Zealander wants to see children in poverty, 668 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 21: and unfortunately it reflects the very challenging economic conditions we've 669 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 21: had for the last few years. 670 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 3: It's interesting, isn't it, because Labour's come out today and 671 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 3: said you've got the minimum what you know, you guys 672 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 3: didn't increase the minimum wage enough. You didn't you did 673 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 3: the indexation with the benefits. But really, when it comes 674 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 3: down to it, this is about economic growth, isn't it. 675 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 3: And it's about inflation. 676 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 21: Absolutely, So if you look at the cost of living, 677 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 21: we do know that those on the lowest incomes are 678 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 21: hit the hardest with the cost of living. So why 679 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 21: we've made really good progress in the last year. These 680 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 21: statistics are for the thirtieth of June twenty four and 681 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 21: we still know that there are some families, the cost 682 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 21: of living is still affecting them. The ocr drop yesterday 683 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 21: takes a while for that to flow through and for 684 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 21: families to really feel it in their household budgets. So 685 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 21: we're a little way off yet. I know that's frustrating, 686 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 21: and it's just recognizing we've had very tough economic times, 687 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 21: but we as a government do not shy away from 688 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 21: the challenge. 689 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 6: One of our. 690 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 21: Three priorities for children and young people is to reduce 691 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 21: material hardship, and that's what we will continue to work toward. 692 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 3: Do you think that that'll happen in the next round, Well, 693 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 3: what we. 694 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 21: Do know is that a growing economy provides greater opportunities 695 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 21: for people and does have an impact on material hardship. 696 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 21: I can say that confidently because when National was last 697 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 21: in office in the years from twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen, 698 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 21: we reduce the number of children in material hardship by 699 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 21: fifty six thousand. That is possible when the economy is 700 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 21: growing and there are opportunities for people to be at 701 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 21: work and to be earning higher wages. 702 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 3: How to argue with that, Minister? Thanks for your time, 703 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 3: Louise Upston. Who's the Minister for Child Poverty. The result 704 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 3: not great, but the driving force is growth, so we 705 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 3: need a bit of growth and we need to get 706 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 3: rid of inflation, which hopefully, according to the Reserve Bank, 707 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 3: we've done nine after five Bridge Jennie Zealand's half year 708 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 3: result out net profit one hundred and six million dollars. 709 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 3: That is down eighteen percent on the same period last year. 710 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 3: Engine issues. The big problem for them Greg four and 711 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 3: is the chief executive high. 712 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 4: Greg. 713 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 19: Hi? 714 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 3: There? How are you run good? Thank you? How much worse? 715 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 3: So obviously this is not great for you? How much 716 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 3: worse will it get in the second half? Do you reckon? 717 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 10: Look bit too early to call at the stage, but 718 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 10: we have said to the market that we do expect 719 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 10: it to be down on where we were in the 720 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 10: first half. But I would say, actually, I think this 721 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 10: is a really good result for the first half when 722 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 10: you consider what we deal was here has been tough. 723 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 10: It's a bit like you know, an All Blacks team 724 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 10: operating without the front row. You know, some of these 725 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 10: things are beyond our control. But I think it's been 726 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 10: a good performance. We haven't buckled and I think our 727 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 10: staff have really done a true terrific job holding this 728 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 10: thing together. 729 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 3: This is the engine issues. How many planes are you 730 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 3: short and how much do you reckon that's taking off 731 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 3: your bottom line? 732 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 10: Well, we know actually that it's about one hundred and 733 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 10: thirty million dollars worth a headwind in that first half, 734 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 10: So you know, we calculate that we've got about ninety 735 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 10: million dollars worth of compensation. So it didn't cover everything 736 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 10: that we had to deal with, but it's certainly helped. 737 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 10: And that's all part of the negotiation we have with 738 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 10: the engine guys. We had been down about you know, 739 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 10: seven to eight planes in the first half, but we're 740 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 10: predicting that's actually going to be around eleven and the 741 00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 10: second half and then it should start to improve. And 742 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 10: you know this is all due to Rolls Royce and 743 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 10: Pratt and Whitney. It's a worldwide issue. It just happens 744 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 10: to be that, you know, we've got two of the 745 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 10: engine models that are problematic. 746 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 3: What about the performance, This is your on time performance. 747 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 3: September you were at eighty point four percent for on 748 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 3: time departures. Is that getting better or worse? 749 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 10: It's been actually a real focus of ours. We weren't happy, 750 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 10: not just in September. We weren't particularly happy in November 751 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 10: and December, and neither were our customers, and I apologize 752 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 10: for that, but I can tell you we have really 753 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 10: nailed our performance since the beginning of the year, and 754 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 10: on time performance has been over eighty percent for both 755 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 10: January and February. To date, cancelation rates has come right 756 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 10: down year to date just one point three percent. So 757 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,919 Speaker 10: a real focus and once again credit to the team. 758 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 3: Ukland Airport having another crack at you. I mean, this 759 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 3: is like the perennial back and forth between you guys. 760 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 3: But they're saying today, they're saying that your market dominant, 761 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 3: you know, eighty four percent of the domestic market. You're 762 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,919 Speaker 3: not meeting the needs of customers and regional communities. We've 763 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 3: got higher prices, we've got fewer flights than the pre pandemic. 764 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 3: It's affecting tourism. 765 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 10: What are you saying, I'd say a couple of things. 766 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 10: First of all, in terms of regional connectivity. You know, 767 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 10: back in twenty twelve, so just over a deco decade ago, 768 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 10: we only have thirty four turboprops servicing regional New Zealand. 769 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 10: That's eighty hours and Q three hundreds. We now have 770 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 10: fifty three soon to be fifty four, so plenty of 771 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 10: extra flights in There have there been some adjustments, particularly 772 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 10: out of Wellington in the last few months as we 773 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 10: deal with a twenty five percent decline in government travel 774 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 10: and a decline in corporate travel. Of course you would 775 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 10: expect us to do that, but we know how important 776 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 10: it is to be fair to everyone in New Zealand 777 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 10: and ensure we've got connectivity in. The second point I 778 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 10: make is I don't want to get into pointing fingers 779 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 10: at the stage. My issue in terms of main airports 780 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 10: is around the regulatory settings. And you know that's what 781 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 10: I'm asking not just Auckland the airport. I'm asking that 782 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 10: you know, the government to look at and say what 783 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 10: is the responsible regulatory settings to ensure that infrastructure, which 784 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 10: is effectively operating in a monopoly type environment, gets spent. 785 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 10: We all know spend some money, but have some checks 786 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 10: and balances in there. 787 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 3: We have ten seconds left if he's going to get 788 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 3: more expensive this half. 789 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 10: What we're seeing is what we're seeing all around the 790 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,720 Speaker 10: country right and we're seeing less inflation a little bit. Still. 791 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 10: What I can tell you is we do our best 792 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 10: to hold them, but we are still seeing a little 793 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 10: bit of inflation, but certainly the rate of increase has 794 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 10: decreased significantly. 795 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 3: Greeg, thank you very much. 796 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:55,439 Speaker 10: Thank you right. 797 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 3: It's Greg four and he's the chief executive at in 798 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 3: New Zealand's gone fourteen minutes after five so year. They 799 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 3: are slightly less twenty three million dollars less than what 800 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 3: they made in the same six months of last year, 801 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,439 Speaker 3: but still a profit of more than one hundred million 802 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 3: dollars here in New Zealand. It has just gone fourteen 803 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,240 Speaker 3: after five year. On news talks, they've been coming up. Next, 804 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 3: the overstay, the eighteen year old overstar. He is allowed 805 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 3: to stay in New Zealand. The minister has given him 806 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 3: some mercy, but what of his parents?

So that's really much 825 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 7: what's going to happen now. You know, we'll have to 826 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 7: talk with Immigration Zone see what's going to happen, and 827 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 7: talk to the parents and see what they choose to do. 828 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 3: How do they how do they feel? Do they feel 829 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 3: guilty about the situation that they that they've put him in? 830 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 7: Well, well not really. I mean, as we spoke about 831 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 7: a little earlier, you know, one of the reasons why 832 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 7: the parents did come and did stay was because they 833 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 7: do face persistent discrimination in India. Because of that caste 834 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 7: system where they come from that untouchable cast They wanted 835 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 7: to protect their children from this and New Zealand as 836 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 7: a country that doesn't have that sort of form of discrimination, 837 00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 7: and so you know, in some ways they've been successful 838 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 7: saving their children's lives and giving them the future. 839 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 3: Do you think it'll encourage others to do the same. 840 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 7: Well, no, I mean the Minister of Immigration talks about 841 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 7: where people come to New Zealand and have babies to 842 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 7: try and stand the country. But there are simply no 843 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 7: policies whatsoever that enable people to stay in this country 844 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 7: simply because they have a baby in this country that 845 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 7: is a citizen. 846 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,720 Speaker 3: But this shows that you can save your baby. 847 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 7: Yeah twenty five years later, Yeah, ma me sure. But 848 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 7: you know this gives nothing for the parents whatsoever. Having 849 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 7: a New Zealand citizen child gives no rights to the 850 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 7: parents to stay here. It never has and it certainly 851 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 7: doesn't currently. 852 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 3: Alistair, thanks for your time, Alistair mclemont Damon Kumar's lawyers 853 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 3: just gone nineteen minutes after five Ryan Bridge, a man 854 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 3: comes to the attention of police and ordering an tamadiki. 855 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 3: Why because he had his kids three times on three 856 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 3: different occasions with his belt was a webbed belt. So 857 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 3: the kids are all under well, two of them are 858 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 3: under ten, and there's one in their early teens hit 859 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 3: them on the legs and the bum right said it 860 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 3: was discipline. Turns out he's a cop. Now, no charges 861 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 3: were laid. The IPCAS looked into this, no charges laid, 862 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 3: still working as an officer. And the reason they didn't 863 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 3: charge no evidence. Why was there no evidence? He refused 864 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 3: an interview and he refused permission for his kids to 865 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 3: be interviewed by police. So the question then becomes, how 866 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 3: on earth do you ever prosecute these cases of potential 867 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 3: child abuse if the parents refuse to give the kids 868 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 3: permission to speak, and the parent refuses to speak as well, 869 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 3: we're asking a lawyer. At five point thirty five, it's 870 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 3: twenty after News TALKS'B. 871 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: After making the news, the newsmakers talk to Ryan First 872 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: A's Ryan Bridge on Hither duplicy elan drive with one 873 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected. 874 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 2: News talks 'B. 875 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 3: Five twenty three, Good evening to you. Child poverty stats 876 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 3: throughout today, no real change since last year and they 877 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: still haven't really recovered since the fall in twenty twenty 878 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 3: one under labour Thank you cost of living crisis. This 879 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 3: is why, this is exactly why we need growth. It 880 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 3: is why it is so important to stamp out inflation, 881 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 3: which is influenced by international factors, but also government spending, 882 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 3: of which there was much waste. It's also influenced by 883 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 3: rising domestic inflation, a big driver of which is council rates. 884 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 3: That's why it's so important they keep cutting costs and 885 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 3: ditching stupid vanity projects. The more waste and useless spending, 886 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 3: the more inflation, the more inflation, the higher the mortgage rates. 887 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 3: The higher the mortgage rates, the slower the growth. The 888 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 3: slower the growth, the poorer the kids wars, the price 889 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 3: of petrol. They plan an outsize role in our inflation number, 890 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 3: and they have in the past few years. But every 891 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 3: bit counts, and it's important our politicians understand this. These 892 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 3: numbers make a mockery of the Green's line of attack 893 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,760 Speaker 3: on the current lot. They argue that at a government 894 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,320 Speaker 3: that cuts spending pushes kids further into poverty. These numbers 895 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 3: show that up for what it really is a lie. 896 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,439 Speaker 3: Just look at the counterfactual. If government spending hand over 897 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:27,280 Speaker 3: fist rarely fixes child poverty. Why did the numbers start 898 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,840 Speaker 3: getting worse under the last lot the last two years 899 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 3: of the big spenders, we went backwards, Our poorest kids 900 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 3: went backwards. So the people making these ridiculous claims are 901 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 3: either stupid or they're lying to us. 902 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 2: Cry and Bridge. 903 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 3: Twenty five minutes after five. I had to get that 904 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,719 Speaker 3: off my chest. It's important. It's important because I don't 905 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 3: care who you vote for, whether you're left or right, 906 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 3: no one likes child poverty. You know. I feel like 907 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 3: there's a side of politics in New Zealand that thinks 908 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 3: that the other side enjoys or relishes, you know, poverty 909 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,760 Speaker 3: or people being poor. I just don't believe that that's true. 910 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 3: Twenty five minutes after five. Now, apparently something happened that 911 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 3: was quite funny in the house today and a few 912 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 3: of you have text me about it. So Laura has 913 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 3: gone and found the audio. This is just in the 914 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 3: last few moments. So Judith Collin's apparently on fire and 915 00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 3: she was going up against jan Tinetti on behalf of 916 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 3: the Minister for Women today. Have a listen. 917 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 15: How can she have confidence that the government is prioritizing 918 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 15: issues pertaining to women when Police minister Mark Mitchell joked 919 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,240 Speaker 15: in an interview, I don't know if a gang member 920 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 15: wants to deal with a perry, menopausal woman. 921 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 22: Well, mister speaker. 922 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 3: Mister speaker, the look would probably do as an answer action. 923 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 23: Let me just say this, We women have put up 924 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 23: with a lot. And I know this that mister Minster 925 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 23: Mitchell is the strongest advocate against the violence that gangs 926 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 23: meet out to women that I have seen, and I 927 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 23: fully support him in. 928 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,800 Speaker 8: Standing up against the gangs. 929 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 22: As for his little statement, I'll deal with that later. 930 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 3: So apparently was there more to this story, So Mark 931 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 3: better watch out. Judith was on a roll and she 932 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 3: took aim at jan Tinetti as well. Have listen. 933 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,959 Speaker 15: Does she agree with ACT Party leader David Seymour when 934 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 15: he said, quote, the gender pay gap exists when you 935 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 15: have to be there late at night to make the sale, 936 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,320 Speaker 15: put in the extra hours and do all the extra 937 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 15: things that women are often unavailable to do because of 938 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 15: the way gender roles work unquote. 939 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 23: Well, I think that being one of those women who 940 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 23: is always there late at night working and always have 941 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 23: been in my working life, I know that sometimes women 942 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 23: do get a very hard time in different treatment and 943 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,240 Speaker 23: that's why we stand up for women. And the best 944 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 23: thing we can all do is to acknowledge women stand 945 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 23: up for each other no matter what and no matter 946 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 23: what our political affiliations, which is not something I've always 947 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 23: felt from that side of the house. 948 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 3: To true Judith Collins.

So it's kind 979 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,520 Speaker 3: of a everyone's in that situation at Harvey Norman, an't they? 980 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:19,760 Speaker 3: Twenty three away from. 981 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 2: Six Ryan Bridge, a senior. 982 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 3: Police officer who hit his children with a belt on 983 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 3: at least three separate occasions, will not face criminal charges 984 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 3: and he's keeping his job. He was censured by an 985 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 3: employment investigation. This is by the police force, but the IPCA. 986 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 3: They say the sanctions is not good enough. The police 987 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 3: couldn't charge them, they reckon because of a lack of evidence. 988 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 3: The officer in question refuse to allow his children to 989 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 3: be interviewed for evidential purposes and refuse to be interviewed himself. 990 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,840 Speaker 3: Mark Henahan is an orcand university law professor. He's with 991 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:53,320 Speaker 3: me tonight. 992 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,440 Speaker 7: Hi Mark, Hi Ryan, love to be talking with you 993 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 7: again and to you. 994 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 3: Too, Mark. How do you acute a child a potential 995 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 3: child abuse case? If the parent can say no, my 996 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,520 Speaker 3: child doesn't give permission to be interviewed, or I don't 997 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 3: give permission, and the adult can say they don't give 998 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 3: permission either. 999 00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 7: Well, I think the way it works. I mean basically, 1000 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 7: as you know, anyone who is going to be questioned 1001 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 7: by the police as a right to science, and they 1002 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 7: they don't have to answer questions. In some situations they 1003 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,080 Speaker 7: may to give their name and address. But there is 1004 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 7: a provision in a rang of tam RICKI and the 1005 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 7: police could have used it. If it's a situation where 1006 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,200 Speaker 7: the child's at great risk, they can get a warrant 1007 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 7: to reove the child and obscurring at Tambriki. I think 1008 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 7: in the States felt that the children were safe, which 1009 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,720 Speaker 7: was surprised. But they said that the children were safe. 1010 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 7: So I suppose they say, because they're guardians of the children, 1011 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 7: saying we're not going to let you take away the 1012 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 7: children to interview them. And it's kind of tricky in 1013 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 7: a way because I suppose the children themselves would feel 1014 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 7: that dobbing and dad not the greatest thing they could 1015 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 7: that they would be doing. But there was other evidence 1016 00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 7: I thought. I mean, obviously a rang of tamariki got 1017 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 7: evidence from the children talking to them. They said it happened, 1018 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 7: so I don't see why they couldn't use that. I mean, 1019 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 7: even though it's it's secondhand, to some degree, the children 1020 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,879 Speaker 7: did say to rang Ti, that's why the ranger tamor 1021 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,280 Speaker 7: he knew about him, still thought the children were safe. 1022 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 7: Exactly what what you just said. The children had been used, 1023 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 7: that they had been used on them. So because in 1024 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 7: some ways it is hard to sort of put pressure 1025 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 7: on children to to give evidence against a parent, I 1026 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 7: can understand and pitically when they had a belts used 1027 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 7: to case no totally, so not evidence they could have 1028 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 7: got because it seemed to be other Ranga Mariki said 1029 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 7: quite clear that that that this had happened, and the 1030 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 7: children had told them that, Yes, so the reason that 1031 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 7: they couldn't that's evidence from it? 1032 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 3: Are you saying, Mark, Are you saying if the in 1033 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 3: a case where ordering a Timodiki decreed that the children 1034 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,759 Speaker 3: were unsafe in the house in that instance, then the 1035 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,439 Speaker 3: children would be able to be interviewed and that would 1036 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,200 Speaker 3: be evidential. 1037 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,920 Speaker 7: Well, they could remove the children, and that brings as 1038 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,880 Speaker 7: risk of the children, they can remove and get a warrant. 1039 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 7: But even in this case, because of ring and Keith 1040 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 7: Mariki had found out and felt the children, there is 1041 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 7: some evidence and I think you know it would be 1042 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 7: challenged because it's textual his it's not for children talking themselves. 1043 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 7: But the court may well accept because it can in 1044 00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 7: certain circumstances say that in this case the children did 1045 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 7: say to us a belt had been used on them, 1046 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,880 Speaker 7: and that would be sufficient evidence for a court if 1047 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 7: it ever accepted, to say, well, that's evidence to prove 1048 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 7: that there has been sult in this case because it's 1049 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 7: a clear assault. I mean, the interesting thing about this 1050 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,720 Speaker 7: case is Liz Gunn just tapped someone on the shoulder 1051 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 7: and charged with the whole book in the District Court 1052 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,240 Speaker 7: and over all by the EIG Court. This is hitting 1053 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,320 Speaker 7: kids with the belt and nothing has happened. 1054 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point of contrasting. It's a good 1055 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 3: point make we have to leave it there. That's Mark Hennahan, 1056 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,479 Speaker 3: he's aulcan University's law professor with us. It's very sad 1057 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,959 Speaker 3: case for the for the kids involved, the parents, both 1058 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 3: parents actually not seaking to police. It is ten sorry, 1059 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 3: twenty minutes away from Sex. 1060 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southerby's International Realty, local and 1061 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: global exposure. 1062 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,880 Speaker 3: Like no other on the Huddle tonight. Tim Wilson from 1063 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 3: the Maxim Institute, Hey. 1064 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 2: Tim, Hey Ryan, how are you doing? 1065 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 4: Good? 1066 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 2: To have you on? 1067 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 4: Good? 1068 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 3: Thank you? And Mark Sainsbury's here broadcast in Mark Sainsbury, 1069 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 3: Hay Sainzo. 1070 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:21,200 Speaker 24: Are you Ryan good? 1071 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:21,560 Speaker 4: Thanks? 1072 00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,239 Speaker 3: This is not a great look. And the IPCA says, 1073 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 3: you know, of all people who you want to make 1074 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 3: sure that you run the ruler over, it would be 1075 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:29,680 Speaker 3: a senior police officer. 1076 00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,760 Speaker 9: Tim, Yeah, yeah, yeah, And look I can see obviously 1077 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,960 Speaker 9: it's a senior role and police they're supposed to uphold 1078 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,480 Speaker 9: the law, not break the law. I think I think 1079 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,160 Speaker 9: to the comments by the law professor earlier. It seems 1080 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:46,360 Speaker 9: that orang A Tamariki, they're the ones with as he noted, 1081 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 9: some evidence. Now, whether that was admissible or not, I 1082 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 9: guess is something that eventually they determined to shouldn't go 1083 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 9: forward with it, but I do. 1084 00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 2: I do note that this. 1085 00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:02,320 Speaker 9: Officer has undergone a criminal investigation and deployment investigation. Irong 1086 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 9: A Tumbriki says, Look, the kids don't face any ongoing harm. 1087 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 9: Now I would I would place some emphasis on that. 1088 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,359 Speaker 9: I'm not saying it's great to whack your kids. I'm 1089 00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,800 Speaker 9: not saying that at all, no matter how annoyed you 1090 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 9: get with them. But but yeah, I think I think 1091 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 9: that's that's the aperture to look at this through. And 1092 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,840 Speaker 9: if I rang A Tumbaiki says, you know they're not 1093 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 9: facing ongoing harm. It seems to be one of those 1094 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,440 Speaker 9: parental lessons that you go, you know what, I'm going 1095 00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 9: to stop doing this and we'll move forward. 1096 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, he did that. The dad did say, not 1097 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 3: that it's an excuse, but said he had tried other 1098 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 3: forms of punishment to stop a certain behavior and this 1099 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 3: is where he ended up. 1100 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,279 Speaker 24: Well, I guess what comes it comes back to what 1101 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 24: Mark Kahannon saying as well, if I had it been 1102 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 24: someone else, if you take till his gun example to the. 1103 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 3: Extreme, but you know someone else. 1104 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 24: The interesting thing is there's been hardly any prosecutions. I 1105 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 24: tried looking this up and there was I think in 1106 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 24: the first sort of six years they had five. I 1107 00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:02,440 Speaker 24: think prosecutions not always success. But as she said, this 1108 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,320 Speaker 24: guy is a cop. And the thing that I actually 1109 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 24: was gobsmack was the same thing as you rand, was 1110 00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 24: that he was able to say, well, I'm not going 1111 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,839 Speaker 24: to talk, and the people who I'm accused of xdly 1112 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,360 Speaker 24: harming are not going to talk as well, I can 1113 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:15,240 Speaker 24: stop them talking. 1114 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 2: That was the bit I just found very odd. 1115 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:20,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is weird. I mean it makes sense because 1116 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 3: they're miners, right, but then they're also the victims. So anyway. 1117 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 3: Tim Wilson, Mark Sainsbury on the Huddle. 1118 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 1: We're back in just a moment the Huddle with New 1119 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 1: Zealand Southby's International Realty Elevate the marketing of your home news. 1120 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 3: Talk to the fourteen away from six a Huddle tonight. 1121 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 3: Tim Wilson from the Maximum Institute and Mark Sainsbury, Broadcaster, 1122 00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 3: that have you ever a mark been on a tenure 1123 00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 3: based pay progression. 1124 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 24: Look, I have some When I first joined TV and 1125 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 24: Z or what was it called them, is it change 1126 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 24: that you know as BC and Z that n Z 1127 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 24: TV and everything else.

Like the average annual salary 1146 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,880 Speaker 9: for a public servant in New Zealand's one hundred and 1147 00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 9: one k compared to in the private sector, it's eighty two. 1148 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 9: Probably not comparing like for like, because public servants probably 1149 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 9: a bit more qualified. But I just don't understand, you know, 1150 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,080 Speaker 9: so there is a disparity there, and if you jump 1151 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 9: out of the public sector, you might get to pardon me, 1152 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 9: the private Yeah, the public sector. Then you might actually 1153 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 9: find that you're getting paid less. I don't understand because 1154 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,479 Speaker 9: the union is saying, oh, you know, this will create 1155 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 9: a poor workplace culture paying people competitively. I would have 1156 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:23,960 Speaker 9: thought it might produce the opposite. 1157 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,240 Speaker 3: I just it's funny because I have never been in 1158 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 3: in a job where this has happened to me. You know, 1159 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,440 Speaker 3: any any pay increases you you have to negotiate yourself, 1160 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 3: you have to show your performance, et cetera. 1161 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,160 Speaker 2: So I just here's the numbers, give me some more dough. 1162 00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 3: It's so unfamiliar to me. Yeah, they're all changed. 1163 00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 24: When I was at TV and Z they went from that. 1164 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 24: You know, you said, well, no, you've only been here 1165 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 24: so long and someone else had started a year earlier 1166 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,640 Speaker 24: than you, So they pay, And so we went to 1167 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,919 Speaker 24: a contract system and say right where you could argue whatever, 1168 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,640 Speaker 24: you know, whatever you think is is if you went 1169 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,720 Speaker 24: under contract, you could argue. You know, you'd argue you're 1170 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 24: in and instead of having to sort of, you know, 1171 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 24: wait for the clock for TICHO for each year and 1172 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 24: you might get set of three percent. 1173 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:07,440 Speaker 9: Did you know I would have thought I would have 1174 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 9: thought it would make it create a very morbid sort 1175 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,920 Speaker 9: of environment where you're just waiting, you know, you're basically 1176 01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 9: waiting for someone in the hot seat to keel over 1177 01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 9: so that you can have your time. I mean, this 1178 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:22,440 Speaker 9: dining is a topic now, that's now, that's a different 1179 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,720 Speaker 9: gig altogether. Not that I would know anything about that. 1180 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 3: Hey, in New Zealand coppying a bit of flat. It's 1181 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 3: not surprising because Auckland Airport's always firing a shot at 1182 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 3: in New Zealand and vice versa. But today they've released 1183 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,840 Speaker 3: the results and they're at it again and they're saying 1184 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 3: that any Zelle is too dominant in the domestic market. 1185 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 3: They're eighty four percent of our domestic market and they're 1186 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,000 Speaker 3: pushing prices up, et cetera. I mean, tell me something, 1187 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 3: I don't know. It would be lovely if we had 1188 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 3: more operators here, but we don't, do we tim No, 1189 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 3: we don't. 1190 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 9: And this is with Auckland the airport bagging in New Zealand. 1191 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 9: This is a complete monopoly. Bagging are mostly monopoly and it's. 1192 01:00:58,800 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 3: The biggest client team. 1193 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 24: Yeah, exactly exactly, so it's and we looked, I locked 1194 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 24: it up. 1195 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 2: It cost five point five. 1196 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,800 Speaker 9: K to land a seven forty seven four hundred at 1197 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,680 Speaker 9: Auckland Airport at sixteen hundred at Wellington. So I'm going 1198 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 9: to I'm going to shatter the paradigm. I'm launching Timsey 1199 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,760 Speaker 9: Airport right now. It'll cost you thirty seven fifty to 1200 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 9: bring a seven four seven four hundred into land at 1201 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,760 Speaker 9: may be a street in the back of Balmoral and Auckland, 1202 01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,160 Speaker 9: but there's no worries with safety. 1203 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 3: What about Because it's interesting when they do the comparison 1204 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 3: to Wellington and christ at the airport mark where you 1205 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 3: are in Wellington, they reckon that they're actually quite cheap 1206 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 3: in Auckland. 1207 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:36,919 Speaker 4: Heh. 1208 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 24: Wellington is sort of unique problems as it does with 1209 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 24: a lot of it's infrastructure. Look, I just think Greek 1210 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 24: forums should go for the health hop top health job, 1211 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 24: because running an airline and running in New Zealand, that 1212 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 24: might have to be one of the hardest jobs, would it. 1213 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, I suppose, well, especially working working at TV and 1214 01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 9: Z under a sort of wait for someone to die. 1215 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 9: So them sounds a lot harder, a lot harder, saying. 1216 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 3: Hey, what about James Cameron? So he was in Wellington 1217 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 3: and well, he lives in Wellington, just in and it 1218 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 3: was at this event last night. Apparently the event was 1219 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 3: quite weird, saying so did you go to this this? 1220 01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1221 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 8: I did. 1222 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,040 Speaker 3: Actually, Oh, okay, give us the lowdown. What was it about. 1223 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,080 Speaker 24: Look, I've got to temper that the fact I was 1224 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 24: also helping juggle a friend of mine's kids, and so 1225 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,200 Speaker 24: I had to leave early. But there was over a 1226 01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 24: thousand people turned up. I mean, the vibe was really 1227 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 24: interesting and they were talking. He was he was talking 1228 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 24: sort of big concepts and things at first, and he 1229 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,560 Speaker 24: brought up the film Subsidy and he says, like, I know, 1230 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 24: everyone sort of hates that, but we've got to invest 1231 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 24: in Wellington. There's a sort of a tech hub and 1232 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,920 Speaker 24: a film sort of capital again, and so went through 1233 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 24: all of that. The people did, They didn't get into 1234 01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:50,280 Speaker 24: a the you know what, counselors are shocking and you 1235 01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,120 Speaker 24: know who devoted to this and what about that. What 1236 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 24: they're talking about is so I know quite a few 1237 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,160 Speaker 24: of the people involved. What they're talking about is trying 1238 01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,560 Speaker 24: that's have a debate about ideas and things, get things 1239 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,640 Speaker 24: on the table before we sort of then get into 1240 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,200 Speaker 24: the nitty gritty of you know, how to. 1241 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 2: Pay for everything. 1242 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 24: So yeah, it was just really well, there was such 1243 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,320 Speaker 24: an appetite for it. I thought, there you know, and 1244 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:13,920 Speaker 24: James Cameron, you sat there, old Jim, he's such an 1245 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,640 Speaker 24: impressive figure and of course, you know, a big round 1246 01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,720 Speaker 24: of applause, and you said, he's getting a citizenship in 1247 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 24: a few months. So look, just having someone like that, who, 1248 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,160 Speaker 24: let's face it, could live anywhere in the world, you know, yeah, 1249 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,280 Speaker 24: invested in Wellington. It is quite good to get this. 1250 01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 24: There's look, something needs to happen to Wellnington getting too down. 1251 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:33,800 Speaker 3: Well that's the thing. It's you've reached rock bottom and 1252 01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,760 Speaker 3: Wellington and clearly people are ready to start climbing out 1253 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 3: of the whole. Right. But but I look at this 1254 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 3: from a distance, Tim, and I think, you know, a 1255 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 3: billionaire movie man Hollywood man comes to Wellington and asks 1256 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,959 Speaker 3: for taxpayer handout to save the city. 1257 01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 9: Well, here's the deal. If the projected film makes money, 1258 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 9: then it's an investment. If it doesn't, if it loses money, 1259 01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 9: it's a subsidy. I've got a couple of film ideas 1260 01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,480 Speaker 9: that might help. James Cameron out, a librarian with anger 1261 01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,800 Speaker 9: management issues tries to find a park in Wellington Central. 1262 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 2: No, I'm not gonna be. 1263 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 24: Okay, Yeah, that's a one off. 1264 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 9: How about a Wellington City councilor explains why property values 1265 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 9: have gone down and breaks have gone up. 1266 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 2: You won't believe how it ends. 1267 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 3: What about TV? What about TVZ broadcaster kills the colleague 1268 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:23,120 Speaker 3: to get pay right. 1269 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,680 Speaker 9: Now, we're talking about some serious dough. 1270 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 3: All right, guys, Hey, thanks so much for coming on. 1271 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 3: Great to have you both.

It is five minutes away from six. Sorry, 1280 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 3: Jim has just texted and literally just texted and made 1281 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 3: me laugh. High run the Chinese. This is the navy 1282 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 3: vessels off the coast of Australia, says The Chinese are 1283 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 3: probably looking for the Cook Islands. That's quite good, Jim. Hey, 1284 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 3: I had a big argument today, this is not funny, 1285 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,720 Speaker 3: big argument today with my partner about whether we should 1286 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 3: fix or float. You know, what are you going to 1287 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 3: do with your mortgage because we've been kind of holding 1288 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:27,480 Speaker 3: dragging it out and dragging it out, and it's not 1289 01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 3: a floating rate, and the floating rates terrible, so even 1290 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 3: though they're coming down, they're still terrible, especially when you 1291 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:35,480 Speaker 3: look at the you know, the two year rates, et cetera. Anyway, 1292 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 3: so we had a big argument today. So I may 1293 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 3: not have dinner when. 1294 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 2: I go home. 1295 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 3: We'll see. But we were arguing about this because ain 1296 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 3: Z has dropped their two year rate down to four 1297 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 3: point nine to nine percent. And then you've got some 1298 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 3: economists and you've got some mortgage brokers as well. You 1299 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 3: like to pipe up at these times saying don't take 1300 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 3: that rate. It's it's just bait. You know, don't take 1301 01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,880 Speaker 3: that rate. It'll fall further because the obviously you stay. 1302 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 3: The reserve banks said they'll drop by another fifty basis 1303 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,840 Speaker 3: points by the middle of the year and then down 1304 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,200 Speaker 3: to three percent. So that's seventy five basis points that 1305 01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 3: we still potentially have to go by the end of 1306 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,840 Speaker 3: the year. Right, So you then start to do the maths. However, 1307 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,920 Speaker 3: we don't know that that's going to come off the 1308 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 3: mortgage traits, so you just end up going around in circles. 1309 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 3: Really and you know, it's crystal ball gazing, really is 1310 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 3: what it is. And it's probably you know, it's a 1311 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 3: fast road to divorce. Is trying to pick the ocr 1312 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 3: track I would have thought, and trying to do the 1313 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,760 Speaker 3: numbers yourself. It is three minutes away from six year. 1314 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,440 Speaker 3: On News Talks, it'd be Judith Collins is here. 1315 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 2: Next up was. 1316 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 1: Down the major calls and how will it affect the economy? 1317 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:08,800 Speaker 1: The big business questions on the Business Hour with Ryan Bridge, Mayors, 1318 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 1: insurance and investments, Grow your wealth, protect your future? 1319 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:13,760 Speaker 2: News talks have be. 1320 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 3: Here On New Talks would be it is seven after 1321 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,920 Speaker 3: six the rbnz's taking a swipe at stats n Z 1322 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,920 Speaker 3: over bad data.

I'm taking a closer 1325 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,800 Speaker 3: look at those film subsidies. James Cameron mentioned in Wellington 1326 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 3: last night. We're live to London within the Brady right now, though, 1327 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:40,120 Speaker 3: concerns from the Defense Force about three Chinese navy vessels 1328 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 3: with enormous strike power sailing off the coast of Australia. 1329 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 3: The Defense Forces monitoring the Naval Task Group in the 1330 01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 3: Tasman Sea. This is about two hundred and eighty kilometers offshore. 1331 01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 3: China's government hasn't informed our government or Australia's of its intentions. 1332 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,919 Speaker 3: The Defense Minister's Judith Collins hime minister Oh hi Ryan, 1333 01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 3: good to have you on the show. They have had 1334 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,840 Speaker 3: any word from the Chinese yet No. 1335 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 22: My advice is that we were not informed or have 1336 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:09,120 Speaker 22: not been informed by the Chinese government why this task 1337 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 22: group has been deployed into our region and we've not 1338 01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 22: been informed what its future plans are. 1339 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:16,639 Speaker 3: Is there anything we need to worry about? 1340 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,800 Speaker 22: Well, it's an unusual move it certainly. I've been told 1341 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,639 Speaker 22: that it's the first time that we've had this sort 1342 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 22: of capability from the PLA in our waters. It's when 1343 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:37,280 Speaker 22: off the coast of Australia. Incredible capability. Some of these 1344 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:42,040 Speaker 22: Turdy ships in particular, and you know once an anti 1345 01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:47,480 Speaker 22: submarine could engage in anti submarine warfare. Stealth guided missile destroyer, 1346 01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,639 Speaker 22: able to carry and launch surface to air missiles. Really 1347 01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 22: quite stunning pieces of equipment and we've never seen them 1348 01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:58,200 Speaker 22: in this area before. 1349 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 3: We don't think they're going to use them though, do we. 1350 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,719 Speaker 3: I mean, this is more posturing, isn't it than actual 1351 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:05,719 Speaker 3: real threat. 1352 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 22: I don't think anyone's suggesting that they're about to be 1353 01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 22: used against us, in all the Australians. It's just that 1354 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,120 Speaker 22: they are here, first time we've seen them, and just 1355 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:21,680 Speaker 22: a change in operation operating area really, So what do. 1356 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:22,960 Speaker 3: We do about it? Just watch them? 1357 01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 22: Well, we watch them, we monitor, That's what we do 1358 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 22: along with the Australians, and we work together. We've got 1359 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 22: the PHA Poseidon's, we've got our frigate, we've got various 1360 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,760 Speaker 22: other things out there and we're working, as I said, 1361 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 22: along with the Australians just to keep an eye on 1362 01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,320 Speaker 22: things and make sure that everyone knows that we're watching. 1363 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,599 Speaker 3: The ICBM that they launched last year into the Pacific. 1364 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 3: They gave us twenty four hours note were warning for that. 1365 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,240 Speaker 3: Has there been any consequence for them for doing that? 1366 01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 2: Well? 1367 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,280 Speaker 22: I think the consequence that I saw was that a 1368 01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 22: lot of Pacific nations that had only seen the really 1369 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 22: great side of China, which is economic growth and areas 1370 01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 22: like that, suddenly felt very disrespected because we were pretty 1371 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 22: much the only people that I'm aware of who got 1372 01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:15,839 Speaker 22: told and certainly a lot of the Pacific nations that ICBM, 1373 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 22: which you could be nuclear capable. What those countries got 1374 01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,639 Speaker 22: told was nothing until after it happened. 1375 01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 3: The Cooks obviously didn't get the message. 1376 01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 22: I think the Cooks are going through a phase at 1377 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,800 Speaker 22: the moment, but we very much love the cook Iland 1378 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 22: people and they are New Zealand citizens and we're here 1379 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:36,760 Speaker 22: for them. 1380 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 3: You just come back from Munich. Must have been a 1381 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,200 Speaker 3: fascinating conference to be at, you know, with JD. Varance 1382 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 3: and everything that was going on there. But you talked 1383 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 3: about security obviously a lot. What was it like being there? 1384 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:49,599 Speaker 3: What was it like being in the room. 1385 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,320 Speaker 22: Well, it was certainly interesting being in the room when 1386 01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:58,160 Speaker 22: Vice President vask gave a speech. There was I agreed 1387 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,240 Speaker 22: with quite a lot of what he said about about 1388 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 22: democracy and freedom speech and free elections. Those are really 1389 01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:09,040 Speaker 22: good things. I think though, that the audience was expecting 1390 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 22: a bit more about defense and Ukraine and support for Ukraine. 1391 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,280 Speaker 22: So there was a little bit of disappointment in the room. 1392 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:21,200 Speaker 22: But look, it's just understandable that the Europeans are looking 1393 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,200 Speaker 22: to their own defense budgets and saying we have to 1394 01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,439 Speaker 22: increase our spending. The US is looking to see what 1395 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:30,479 Speaker 22: they can do too. Factors, it's a very challenging time. 1396 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 22: And what concerns me and what concerns many people in 1397 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 22: New Zealand and also Australia is what messages do does 1398 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:43,920 Speaker 22: anyone take from a deal with Ukraine? Unless Ukraine actually 1399 01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:45,760 Speaker 22: has the sovereignty. 1400 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 3: And also if it's not backed up by at least 1401 01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,599 Speaker 3: air cover and other capabilities from the US. 1402 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,200 Speaker 22: Well, I think other countries are looking to step up 1403 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 22: in certainly the UK, and you've heard our primes to 1404 01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,160 Speaker 22: say that if we were asked to and if it's 1405 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:07,280 Speaker 22: worked for US, we would also provide peacekeeping capability, and 1406 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,759 Speaker 22: we have already contributed around one hundred and thirty million 1407 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:15,679 Speaker 22: dollars in training and also equipment and money for drones 1408 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:20,840 Speaker 22: another warfare equipment to Ukraine. We believe in democracy and 1409 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:22,120 Speaker 22: we think it's worth fighting for. 1410 01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:24,080 Speaker 3: Do you know how many troops would we put on 1411 01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 3: would we be able to do in a peacekeeping mission? 1412 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:26,479 Speaker 4: Do you know? 1413 01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 3: Have you had any. 1414 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 2: Advance on that? 1415 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,800 Speaker 22: Yeah, I haven't had an advice on that, but I 1416 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 22: know that our people are always keen to be deployed. 1417 01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,240 Speaker 22: We've got you know, look, we don't keep a defense 1418 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 22: force unless they're willing to be and able to be deployed. 1419 01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,120 Speaker 22: And the last thing we'll ever do is ever to 1420 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 22: deploy them to something like an MiQ facility and watch 1421 01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,200 Speaker 22: the doubts actually be ripped out of the defense force. 1422 01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,679 Speaker 22: So we're rebuilding and they these boys and girls, Boy 1423 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 22: do they love getting an uniform and getting off and 1424 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:54,719 Speaker 22: doing some stuff. 1425 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,200 Speaker 3: Are you getting more money for this budget for defense? 1426 01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:57,600 Speaker 4: Are you? 1427 01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,599 Speaker 22: Or well you just have to wait and see other 1428 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,439 Speaker 22: I'm a happy little pixie actually defense at the moment. 1429 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:06,639 Speaker 22: All right, you know very clear we have to spend 1430 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 22: more on defense. 1431 01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we hit two percent. 1432 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 22: You have to wait to see, but you know, Brian, 1433 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 22: I'll come on your show and talk about it.

I mean the Reserve Bank is being diplomatic. 1460 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,719 Speaker 25: They're not saying that it's a failing of the stats 1461 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:36,680 Speaker 25: in z basically you know that they still work out 1462 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,400 Speaker 25: and everything, but they're basically calling for more funding and 1463 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,160 Speaker 25: sort of more focus on the core economic data. So 1464 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:46,920 Speaker 25: they point to the big GDP revision late last year, 1465 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,559 Speaker 25: which effectively said the economy was in much better shape 1466 01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:54,720 Speaker 25: over the period twenty twenty three than we thought as 1467 01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 25: one of the reasons for the misstep or u turn 1468 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:04,160 Speaker 25: or whatever that they didn't make the change in the 1469 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,080 Speaker 25: in the in the policy direction that that sort of 1470 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,120 Speaker 25: people picked up on between May and August. That there's 1471 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,800 Speaker 25: one of the reasons that they highlighted there. So this 1472 01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 25: came through yesterday and again in the Select Committee this morning. 1473 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:20,320 Speaker 25: They're saying our stats just aren't up for purpose. Really, 1474 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 25: they're saying there's six months out of date and often mismeasured, 1475 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:24,599 Speaker 25: was the quote. 1476 01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:28,679 Speaker 3: But do other countries not operate on the similar numbers 1477 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 3: because and it's they're not more high you know, the 1478 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,559 Speaker 3: high frequency data that they like to talk about from 1479 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 3: lots of different sources in New Zealand that the central 1480 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:38,599 Speaker 3: banks should be looking also. 1481 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,559 Speaker 25: Yeah, so they're saying they're having to look more closely 1482 01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,080 Speaker 25: at the high frequency stuff, which is like your performance 1483 01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,920 Speaker 25: and manufacturing and all this sort of stuff. But it's 1484 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 25: it's the trouble that the more high frequency it is, 1485 01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,519 Speaker 25: the less you know, absolute it is in terms of 1486 01:15:54,640 --> 01:16:00,160 Speaker 25: giving us a good strong signals. And yeah, internationally they 1487 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,640 Speaker 25: get inflation data once a month and a lot of 1488 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,840 Speaker 25: places they get GDP once a month and they break 1489 01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 25: down the GDP and look, we're a small country, so 1490 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,519 Speaker 25: I suppose we don't have the resource, but we're also 1491 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,320 Speaker 25: a small country in terms of what we measure. And 1492 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:17,680 Speaker 25: when you think about how important this is, like if 1493 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:23,200 Speaker 25: there's a misalignment between the monetary policy based on understanding 1494 01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,599 Speaker 25: where our economy is, it can cost billions of dollars, 1495 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 25: as we've seen over the last few years. Now, I'm 1496 01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,320 Speaker 25: putting aside the fact that a lot of people. There 1497 01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,240 Speaker 25: are critics out there who will say that this sounds 1498 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:36,560 Speaker 25: like excuses or whatever from the restive bank. Regardless, I 1499 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 25: think it's an area that you know, we can't lose. 1500 01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:41,880 Speaker 25: And if the government doesn't have a lot of money 1501 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 25: to do to look at the funding on this, perhaps 1502 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,720 Speaker 25: they should be looking at some of the prioritization of 1503 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:51,640 Speaker 25: where status puts its focus, because they have had a 1504 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 25: number of years of sort of broadening their focus under 1505 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:56,840 Speaker 25: the previous government. Well being and things like that, looking 1506 01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:57,839 Speaker 25: at a wide. 1507 01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:00,439 Speaker 3: Range of nonsense. Well, yeah, look, I had a look. 1508 01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 25: There isn't that much nonsense stuff, but there is a 1509 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:05,679 Speaker 25: lot of qualitative stuff, stuff that gives us a nice 1510 01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,519 Speaker 25: breakdown of how inflation falls within different social groups and 1511 01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 25: different you know, all the different groupings. It's nice to 1512 01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 25: see that and it can help with policy setting for 1513 01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:17,640 Speaker 25: inequality and all that sort of stuff. But really, at 1514 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,680 Speaker 25: the core, you know, we need to get the basics right, 1515 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 25: and that's maybe where we're not leading the world like 1516 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 25: we should be. 1517 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting, surely there's some at one day and there'll 1518 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:28,840 Speaker 3: be an AI thing that will just take care of 1519 01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:29,160 Speaker 3: it all. 1520 01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,160 Speaker 25: I can never decide whether I'm scared of the AI. 1521 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,600 Speaker 25: I just wanted to move faster and actually start getting it. 1522 01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 3: All right, m New Zealand Heill, Business Editor at Large, 1523 01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:39,479 Speaker 3: Thanks so much for your time.

Was it all the week before? It's already 1529 01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 3: been plucked from the ballot, the private member's bill. It's 1530 01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,760 Speaker 3: targeting what the party calls woke banking practices. That has 1531 01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:04,600 Speaker 3: been plucked from the ballot today. So we'll talk to 1532 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:05,720 Speaker 3: you Jamie about that next. 1533 01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 2: The Rural Report on hither du for see Allen. 1534 01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 3: Drive twenty three minutes after six. So the Financial Markets 1535 01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:19,200 Speaker 3: Conduct of Institution's Amendment Bill has been plucked from the 1536 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,599 Speaker 3: ballot today. That is the New Zealand First Amendment bill 1537 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:27,160 Speaker 3: that would try and take on quote woke bank lending. 1538 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,240 Speaker 3: And Jamie McKay is with us, he's from the country 1539 01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,600 Speaker 3: here on newstalk said be Hi, Jamie, gooday, Ryan, what 1540 01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:36,720 Speaker 3: do you make I mean obviously that this is going 1541 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 3: to be a huge issue for in concern for the 1542 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,920 Speaker 3: rural sector. Do you what are your thoughts on whether 1543 01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:45,639 Speaker 3: it'll actually get past the line. 1544 01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 11: Well, I don't know if we'll get past the line, 1545 01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,280 Speaker 11: but I say good on Andy Foster, the former Wellington 1546 01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,639 Speaker 11: there for chucking it in the This is the one 1547 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,240 Speaker 11: they pull out of the biscuit and Ryan is that 1548 01:18:56,280 --> 01:18:58,680 Speaker 11: where it comes from? That's right, yep, yeah, yeah, so 1549 01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 11: it got pulled out afternoon. 1550 01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 10: Yeh. 1551 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:02,679 Speaker 11: Got on them because look, I've been on the case 1552 01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,840 Speaker 11: of the banks as well. You can call them woke 1553 01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:08,599 Speaker 11: banks or whatever, but they've been under huge pressure recently 1554 01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:13,280 Speaker 11: for some of their more unpalatable lending practices. Federated Farmers, 1555 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:16,400 Speaker 11: to give them credit, have been leading the charge on 1556 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:20,520 Speaker 11: this one. They've been instrumental in securing the set selectivity 1557 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:24,120 Speaker 11: inquiry that's currently underway, and they quite rightly point out 1558 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,880 Speaker 11: that these woke banks, if you want to call them that, 1559 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 11: setting different targets for Australian farmers than New Zealand farmers. 1560 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:37,519 Speaker 11: We've got all this nonsense about dbanking, petrol stations, rural 1561 01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:41,439 Speaker 11: based petrol stations, or even some farmers if they don't 1562 01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:46,519 Speaker 11: meet their emissions reduction targets. And it's worth remembering and 1563 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 11: reiterating Ryan, the net zero banking alliance, that all the 1564 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:55,160 Speaker 11: big ossie banks belong to, the big banks in America 1565 01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,240 Speaker 11: have all poured out of it, you know, the likes 1566 01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:01,080 Speaker 11: the Bank of America, Goldman, Sachs, JP, Morgan, so Weather. 1567 01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:05,519 Speaker 11: This is just another thing that will fall over under 1568 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,960 Speaker 11: the Trump regime around the world. Who knows. But all 1569 01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:10,680 Speaker 11: I know is that the banks have had it too 1570 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,120 Speaker 11: good for too long. And I say, good on federated 1571 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:14,600 Speaker 11: farmers shoving it. 1572 01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:18,200 Speaker 3: Right up, fair enough, fair enough, I don't. I mean, 1573 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 3: there are a whole bunch of reasons I think they 1574 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 3: shouldn't do it, But I think regardless it's it won't 1575 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 3: get much supportive. I mean, ziem first obviously back but 1576 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 3: I can't see well obviously act won't and I can't 1577 01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:30,320 Speaker 3: see him the end actually natural doing it either. But anyhow, 1578 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,559 Speaker 3: we'll see how it goes on in Parliament. The confidence 1579 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,320 Speaker 3: survey looking really strong. 1580 01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 11: Jamie, Yeah, well that one came out yesterday. So but 1581 01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:42,479 Speaker 11: I mean I could have written the confidence survey myself, 1582 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:46,200 Speaker 11: to be honest, Rine, from just my dialogue that I 1583 01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:48,960 Speaker 11: talked to on a regular base. And while it's great, 1584 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 11: I'm just trying to drag the numbers. Say, we've gone 1585 01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:54,880 Speaker 11: from a deeply negative minus sixty six and that is 1586 01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,000 Speaker 11: incredibly deeply negative in July twenty twenty four to a 1587 01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,120 Speaker 11: net positive score of two percent. So that's a massive surge. 1588 01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,920 Speaker 11: But you know, you've got to remember we're only we've 1589 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 11: only got a net positive score of two percent, so 1590 01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,479 Speaker 11: that's in terms of economic conditions. But look, to be 1591 01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:15,960 Speaker 11: fair to the current government and the regime, the markets 1592 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,120 Speaker 11: have come to the party as well. Most of our 1593 01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:22,360 Speaker 11: primary sector products are receiving good or in some cases 1594 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:25,679 Speaker 11: record prices, like the likes of the likes of beef, 1595 01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:29,200 Speaker 11: fairy Kiwi fruits very very good. So you know, like 1596 01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:32,160 Speaker 11: as I said this, I think the other day on 1597 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,840 Speaker 11: my show of Farmer's Confidence isn't up on this, it 1598 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 11: never will be. The planets are aligning in twenty twenty 1599 01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 11: five for a pretty good farming year. 1600 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely great news and good for all of us because 1601 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,639 Speaker 3: it reaches us eventually.

We 1626 01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:19,000 Speaker 3: spent forty five thousand dollars on airfares and twenty twenty three. 1627 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,439 Speaker 3: But we have moved to Jetstar. We're spending twenty two 1628 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,640 Speaker 3: thousand dollars. It's just too expensive, said Juan. Yeah, I 1629 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 3: can understand that I often fly Jetstar just because of 1630 01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:32,960 Speaker 3: the price differential, and I just my experience, nothing based 1631 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,920 Speaker 3: on the numbers, although the numbers in terms of on 1632 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,640 Speaker 3: time performance for in New Zealand have been bad. But 1633 01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 3: I always find that if you get a jet Star flight, 1634 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:46,280 Speaker 3: it will more often than not leave on time. The 1635 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,760 Speaker 3: question is just whether it leaves it all like they're 1636 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:52,120 Speaker 3: more likely to be canceled completely, but if they do go, 1637 01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,760 Speaker 3: they're always on time. That's my experience at Jetstar, twenty 1638 01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,280 Speaker 3: four minutes away from seven Ryan Bridge. So James Cameron 1639 01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:01,519 Speaker 3: was down at this event in Wellington last night. He 1640 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,840 Speaker 3: was a guest speaker for the lobby group Vision for Wellington. 1641 01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 3: It was meant to be the meeting focused on the 1642 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:09,559 Speaker 3: city and all the issues they're having and the fact 1643 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 3: they can't fix their pipes, et cetera. But James Cameron 1644 01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,080 Speaker 3: took the opportunity to talk about how important it is 1645 01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:18,120 Speaker 3: for all of us to support the film subsidies that 1646 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,160 Speaker 3: we have in New Zealand now international film and TV 1647 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 3: productions currently they can get about twenty percent of cash 1648 01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 3: rebate if they film right here. Iren Gardner's the president 1649 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:26,720 Speaker 3: of the Screen Producers in New Zealand. She's with me 1650 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,160 Speaker 3: Hi Irene Hi there. Good to have you on the show. 1651 01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:31,640 Speaker 3: Do you know when I saw this, I thought, of 1652 01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 3: course James Cameron loves this. He just wants more money 1653 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:35,280 Speaker 3: out of the government. 1654 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,200 Speaker 26: Well, yes and no. He does bring an awful lot 1655 01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,599 Speaker 26: of money into New Zealand, so you know, I think 1656 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,639 Speaker 26: we have to give them credit for that. And that's 1657 01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,760 Speaker 26: the thing with the rebate, and I think it's the 1658 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 26: point James was trying to make, is that people kind 1659 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:53,000 Speaker 26: of think, oh, it's just you know, free money, it's 1660 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,600 Speaker 26: a grant, it's a giveaway, it's a subsidy, whatever. But 1661 01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:59,439 Speaker 26: it is, in fact a percentage rebate. It's what happens 1662 01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 26: in the screen industry all around the world. 1663 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:03,439 Speaker 24: And really for. 1664 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:07,720 Speaker 26: Every dollar that goes back, we get about six into 1665 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,640 Speaker 26: the economy, back into the New Zealand economy and so 1666 01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:14,519 Speaker 26: and in fact Avatar is probably at the higher end 1667 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:19,200 Speaker 26: of that. Their contribution to Wellington and New Zealand is incredible. 1668 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:23,160 Speaker 26: So I'm quite pleased that James was talking up the 1669 01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 26: rebate because he's right. 1670 01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,479 Speaker 3: Would the industry survive without it? 1671 01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 26: No, No, it is absolutely the background backbone rather of 1672 01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:37,600 Speaker 26: the New Zealand screen industry, and that goes for international 1673 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:41,800 Speaker 26: and domestic. For international, they just wouldn't come here without 1674 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:43,599 Speaker 26: it because they can get it in pretty much every 1675 01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:47,160 Speaker 26: other territory and so even though we have wonderful scene 1676 01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,639 Speaker 26: or any wonderful landscape, great cruise, they would not come 1677 01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:52,800 Speaker 26: here without it and we would lose all of that 1678 01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:58,720 Speaker 26: international money. But also for the domestic industry now that 1679 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:02,320 Speaker 26: things are extremely tough for local production because of years 1680 01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 26: of the streamers hoovering up advertising dollar. We'll not edvertising dollar, 1681 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,640 Speaker 26: but the eyes that we made advertising dollar off. A 1682 01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:11,960 Speaker 26: lot of our producers are now having to work in 1683 01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,280 Speaker 26: the co production area, you know, doing shows that screen 1684 01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,720 Speaker 26: all around the world, and they tend to be the 1685 01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:21,040 Speaker 26: rebate shows. So we would be really bereefed about it 1686 01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:24,040 Speaker 26: for domestic these days because you know, everything is just 1687 01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 26: so tough in that area. 1688 01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:27,519 Speaker 3: There's a show on Netflix at the moment. I just 1689 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 3: noticed it the other day actually, when I was flying 1690 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 3: on that Jetstar Flight that I was talking about, and 1691 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,519 Speaker 3: it's a New Zealand show on Netflix based in Cai Coolder. 1692 01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,320 Speaker 3: It's all based around it or after an earthquake. Do 1693 01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:41,639 Speaker 3: you know the one that I'm talking about? 1694 01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 26: I do know the way and it's called Friends Like Her. 1695 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,360 Speaker 24: Yes, it's a great little well. 1696 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,040 Speaker 26: It's interesting actually because we've had a bit of a 1697 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 26: beef with Netflix and that you know, they set up 1698 01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 26: an office a while back called you know, Netflix Australia, 1699 01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 26: New Zealand, but they actually never commissioning anything out of 1700 01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:02,200 Speaker 26: New Zealand. But that's an acquisition, it's not a commission. 1701 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:05,360 Speaker 26: It's a show that was actually made for three here, 1702 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,640 Speaker 26: but they've now bought it and it's screening on Netflix. 1703 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:10,800 Speaker 26: So that's a little foot in the door, which is 1704 01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:13,680 Speaker 26: good because Netflix has been using New Zealand as a 1705 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 26: location for international productions and now they're starting to buy 1706 01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:21,600 Speaker 26: a few existing shows. So we really hope that the 1707 01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 26: next step is that they would actually commission some shows 1708 01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,200 Speaker 26: from New Zealand production houses. 1709 01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:27,920 Speaker 3: What would they pass for a show like that? 1710 01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 2: Do you know? 1711 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,599 Speaker 26: I don't know, because it'll be different from show to show, 1712 01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:35,720 Speaker 26: but to be honest, it's not terribly much when they 1713 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,320 Speaker 26: just buy it late in the piece as an acquisition. 1714 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:41,360 Speaker 26: Where the real money is is when people invest in 1715 01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:43,600 Speaker 26: the show at the front end. You know, they commission it, 1716 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:45,519 Speaker 26: they put money in it. It might be a bunch 1717 01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,479 Speaker 26: of different production companies. All of that money comes into 1718 01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:51,559 Speaker 26: New Zealand and it may have some New Zealand funding 1719 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,000 Speaker 26: as well. And then of course it gets the rebate 1720 01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 26: percentage taken out, which is hugely helpful. 1721 01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,760 Speaker 3: If they see this, you know one that they've a 1722 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,560 Speaker 3: it does well on the streaming platform. I mean, is 1723 01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:06,160 Speaker 3: that how you start to build a relationship with them 1724 01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,439 Speaker 3: to say, hey, some of our content might actually do 1725 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,080 Speaker 3: well on your platform. Maybe you should start to go 1726 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:12,160 Speaker 3: from the ground up here. 1727 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 26: I think so, and I really hope so. And that's 1728 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 26: a great show. And we've had a few factual shows 1729 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:20,040 Speaker 26: on there as well which have been good little shows 1730 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,479 Speaker 26: like Casketeers and Down for Love and things like that. 1731 01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,040 Speaker 26: And then to see Friends like Her, which is a 1732 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:29,360 Speaker 26: really good drama. It can only be good. You know 1733 01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,360 Speaker 26: that one thing leads to another, because I think we 1734 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,640 Speaker 26: do still suffer a little bit because not so much 1735 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:37,880 Speaker 26: in factual because it's a bit more level playing for 1736 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 26: it field, but in drama and comedy, where New Zealand's 1737 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,160 Speaker 26: budgets haven't quite been so high as the world, I 1738 01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,200 Speaker 26: think there is perhaps a perception, oh, can they do it? 1739 01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 26: And of course now that we've got more into the 1740 01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:52,560 Speaker 26: co production world, which that show is, you know, you 1741 01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:54,960 Speaker 26: get shows like After the Party going all around the 1742 01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,920 Speaker 26: world and The Gone and you know, Far North and 1743 01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:01,080 Speaker 26: things like that. So I think we are proving that 1744 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:03,720 Speaker 26: we can do it and it's just getting them to 1745 01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:05,519 Speaker 26: understand that and take a punt. 1746 01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:08,200 Speaker 3: Really interesting stuff. Iren, thank you very much for that 1747 01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:11,120 Speaker 3: Iron Gardener, the Sparta present. That's the present of these 1748 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:14,200 Speaker 3: screen producers in New Zealand, just gone nineteen minutes away 1749 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:16,160 Speaker 3: from seven. All off the back of James Cameron and 1750 01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:18,080 Speaker 3: his comments in Wellington yesterday. I know a lot of 1751 01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:21,639 Speaker 3: people don't like James Cameron and whiteed Upper because he's 1752 01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 3: you know, he does like the green farming and they're 1753 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 3: obviously a primary industries area, rural area, a lot of 1754 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,600 Speaker 3: farming going on there and a lot of people just 1755 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,800 Speaker 3: think bag her off back over the hill, over the room, 1756 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,400 Speaker 3: attuck as you go. But that's where he was last 1757 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:39,640 Speaker 3: night talking about the fact they need these film rebates 1758 01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:42,439 Speaker 3: eighteen minutes away from seven here on News Talks B, 1759 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:43,240 Speaker 3: We're live in London. 1760 01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:47,000 Speaker 2: Next. If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1761 01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:52,360 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Ryan Bridge and Lairs, Insurance and Investments, 1762 01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,920 Speaker 1: Grow your Wealth, Protect your Future. 1763 01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:55,680 Speaker 2: News Talks V. 1764 01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,400 Speaker 3: Sixteen to seven on News TALKSB. So Trump calls Zelenski 1765 01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:04,400 Speaker 3: a dick, and now Starma is calling Zelensky for apparently 1766 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:07,880 Speaker 3: some advice in the Brady's at UK Correspondent in the 1767 01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 3: Good Evening. 1768 01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:13,519 Speaker 12: Yeah, reassurance I think was the main kind of effect 1769 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,800 Speaker 12: that the Downing Street wanted last night from that phone call. 1770 01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:18,320 Speaker 4: So Starmer got on. 1771 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,000 Speaker 12: The phone, spoke to Zelenski. They get on. They have 1772 01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,600 Speaker 12: a good relationship. And this is all because of what 1773 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,960 Speaker 12: Trump said. As ever, lately, whatever happens in the world, 1774 01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:29,479 Speaker 12: he has an opinion, and the feeling here is that 1775 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:33,320 Speaker 12: he's very wrong. So the reason Trump called Zelenski a 1776 01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:37,320 Speaker 12: dictator is because he suspended elections, brought in martial law. 1777 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 12: His term in office was due to finish in May 1778 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,080 Speaker 12: of last year. There should have been presidential elections in Ukraine. 1779 01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:46,759 Speaker 12: And Trump is making out that he's a dictator because 1780 01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,599 Speaker 12: of that. Here in the UK, people are pointing out, well, 1781 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:53,040 Speaker 12: world War two, what the Winston Churchill do? He suspended 1782 01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:57,040 Speaker 12: elections until after the war was finished, and of course, 1783 01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:01,400 Speaker 12: famously Churchill then lost that election. The Russians are rubbing 1784 01:31:01,439 --> 01:31:04,439 Speaker 12: their hands with glee at the prospect of them enforcing 1785 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:07,479 Speaker 12: elections in Ukraine because what they're trying to do is 1786 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,120 Speaker 12: get Zelenski out. They haven't managed to kill him in 1787 01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:12,920 Speaker 12: the last three years, so what they're hoping is that 1788 01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:17,160 Speaker 12: some pro Kremlin puppet will somehow engineer a win in 1789 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,240 Speaker 12: Ukrainian elections at some point this year. If there is 1790 01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:23,320 Speaker 12: a peace plan, Starmer is going to get on a 1791 01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:25,000 Speaker 12: plane next week to Washington. 1792 01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 11: D C. 1793 01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:28,040 Speaker 12: And see Trump face to face. And it does look 1794 01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:30,559 Speaker 12: like the UK Prime Minister is stepping up now as 1795 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,720 Speaker 12: the statesman of Europe to try and get involved here 1796 01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,400 Speaker 12: and make sure Ukraine does not go down the pan. 1797 01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:41,000 Speaker 3: Does he have the experience to do then, well, that's 1798 01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:41,880 Speaker 3: a very good question. 1799 01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:44,360 Speaker 12: But look, given that we had Liz Trust run this 1800 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:47,760 Speaker 12: country for six weeks and we had the circus with 1801 01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:51,040 Speaker 12: Boris Johnson, I would say Starmer is our best bet. 1802 01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:52,840 Speaker 12: And as much as a lot of people won't like 1803 01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:56,000 Speaker 12: hearing that. He's a very serious man and these are 1804 01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,519 Speaker 12: serious times. But in all honesty, I mean it's a 1805 01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,200 Speaker 12: pretty bar here in the UK the last few years. 1806 01:32:02,880 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 3: A huge sinkhold. Tell us about this. This is Neil, London, 1807 01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:09,400 Speaker 3: a village and it's head to lead to some evacuations 1808 01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:11,320 Speaker 3: of homes because of these sink all so big. 1809 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,320 Speaker 12: Yeah, and another one has now appeared beside it on 1810 01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 12: the same stretch of road. It's on the main street 1811 01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 12: through a place called Godstone now is in the county 1812 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:22,960 Speaker 12: of Surrey, just south of London. 1813 01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 2: Why is it important. 1814 01:32:24,640 --> 01:32:26,920 Speaker 12: It is a main kind of cut through to get 1815 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 12: on the M twenty five motorway, so literally thousands of 1816 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:34,479 Speaker 12: motorists would have gone through the village of Godston most days. 1817 01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:37,639 Speaker 12: Local residents are saying this is part of the problem, 1818 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,120 Speaker 12: big heavy lorries using their village as a cut through. 1819 01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,360 Speaker 12: What's actually going on is it's built on chalkstone and 1820 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,080 Speaker 12: there were mines in the area years ago. There are 1821 01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 12: caves in the area and clearly subsidence has happened, so 1822 01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:54,719 Speaker 12: imagine you can see the pictures online. It is absolutely shocking. 1823 01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:58,280 Speaker 12: The first sinkhole is twenty meters long, and the end 1824 01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:02,479 Speaker 12: result is emergency services called in, people evacuated, and local 1825 01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 12: workmen telling reporters that this job is not days, not weeks, 1826 01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,200 Speaker 12: it is months and thirty families have had to leave 1827 01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:11,160 Speaker 12: their family homes just like that. 1828 01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,519 Speaker 3: Goodness. Are they flats like next to each other or 1829 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,400 Speaker 3: are they stand alone homes in the sweet village? 1830 01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 12: They look to be standalone semi loan properties. It's an 1831 01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:27,080 Speaker 12: expensive area. But you know, basically people have been. 1832 01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:27,960 Speaker 4: Told gold to a hotel. 1833 01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:29,040 Speaker 2: There is no support. 1834 01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:32,600 Speaker 12: Locals are saying some people have gone to friends. I 1835 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:34,360 Speaker 12: guess you find out who your friends are is you've 1836 01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:36,840 Speaker 12: got to move house in space of ten minutes. 1837 01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:39,960 Speaker 3: Hey, Jim Redler's this is a reckless sorry. This is 1838 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:43,519 Speaker 3: the guy that's running in the Austin and owns Anios 1839 01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:45,439 Speaker 3: rather and is having a bit of a running with 1840 01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:49,720 Speaker 3: our New Zealand rugby union. So Men's History United, which 1841 01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,280 Speaker 3: he owns too. They've got some financial results that aren't 1842 01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:54,719 Speaker 3: great for the last quarter. 1843 01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 12: This is really interesting. So this now paints us the 1844 01:33:57,439 --> 01:33:59,880 Speaker 12: picture as to why he's pulled out with NZ Rugby, 1845 01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,439 Speaker 12: why he's pulled out of the America's Cup with Ben 1846 01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:05,160 Speaker 12: Engsley lots of other projects as well. I see a 1847 01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:09,280 Speaker 12: sponsorship deal with Tottenham Hotspur wenty yesterday in the Premier League. 1848 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,160 Speaker 12: Right the last three months of last year Manchester United 1849 01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:18,160 Speaker 12: lost is Manchester United. They lost fifty four million en 1850 01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:21,519 Speaker 12: Zed dollars. Now included in that was a payoff for 1851 01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,559 Speaker 12: the outgoing manager who got sacked, the Dutch guy Eric 1852 01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,519 Speaker 12: ten Hagen, his coaches and also a guy called Dan 1853 01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:31,439 Speaker 12: Ashworth who was brought in much fanfare as sporting director. 1854 01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,400 Speaker 12: He lasted less than six months. Getting rid of the 1855 01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,720 Speaker 12: two of them and all the coaches cost somewhere in 1856 01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:40,080 Speaker 12: the region of twenty nine million en Z. And on 1857 01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:44,800 Speaker 12: top of that, loans from the Glazer family that they 1858 01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:47,800 Speaker 12: engineered in the last nineteen and a half years have 1859 01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:51,519 Speaker 12: now topped. This is the interest on the loans. Manchester 1860 01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:55,599 Speaker 12: United have paid two billion en Zed dollars and it's 1861 01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,559 Speaker 12: clear Raptliffe sat down and thought this has to stop. 1862 01:34:58,960 --> 01:35:01,040 Speaker 12: We need to shore ups money somehow. 1863 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,799 Speaker 3: Goodness me, that does help to actually explain the situation 1864 01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:06,519 Speaker 3: that we find ourselves in here at the bottom of 1865 01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:08,160 Speaker 3: the world. End to thank you for that, end of 1866 01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:11,120 Speaker 3: Brady are UK correspondent with us. It has just gone 1867 01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:13,240 Speaker 3: ten minutes away from seven. I think it was eight 1868 01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:15,920 Speaker 3: million dollars a year from just off the top of 1869 01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 3: my head. The Ineos contract that ends at our had 1870 01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:21,479 Speaker 3: so for them over at Manchester United. To lose fifty 1871 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:25,040 Speaker 3: four million dollars in the space of three months would 1872 01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:29,880 Speaker 3: explain maybe why his appetite for sporting endeavors might be waning. 1873 01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:32,200 Speaker 3: News Talks EDB ten to seven. 1874 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:36,520 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Too plus Allen Drive Full Show podcast 1875 01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:40,280 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by NEWSTALKSB. 1876 01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 3: News Talks VB. It is eight minutes away from seven. 1877 01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:45,360 Speaker 3: There's a really interesting legal case over in the US. 1878 01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:49,920 Speaker 3: It's an embryo error at a birthing clinic. This is 1879 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,160 Speaker 3: in Georgia in the United States. So there's a woman 1880 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:56,479 Speaker 3: by the name of Christina Murray. She used IVF to 1881 01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:59,080 Speaker 3: have a baby. She's thirty eight years old, right, so 1882 01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:02,160 Speaker 3: she's nearing, you know, the end of her period where 1883 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:06,719 Speaker 3: she can have a baby. The cock is ticking, everything's great. 1884 01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:10,719 Speaker 3: She gives birth to a beautiful baby boy. Only problem 1885 01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:16,120 Speaker 3: was that he was African American. She's white. Now, obviously 1886 01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,439 Speaker 3: nothing wrong with the fact that it was anaphrit American baby, 1887 01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:23,000 Speaker 3: but clearly not hers. She used a white sperm donor. 1888 01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:27,760 Speaker 3: She gives birth to a black baby, so turns out 1889 01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:34,120 Speaker 3: obviously not her baby. Child's biological parents have been found. 1890 01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:40,200 Speaker 3: They have now taken custody of the baby. She had 1891 01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:42,240 Speaker 3: the boy for a few months in her care and 1892 01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,240 Speaker 3: obviously formed a bit of a bond with him, then 1893 01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:47,479 Speaker 3: has to hand him over, which she did so willingly. 1894 01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 3: You know she did, you know, did it voluntarily. She's 1895 01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,479 Speaker 3: now sewing obviously because it's America and it's an IVF clinic, 1896 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:59,000 Speaker 3: so she is suing the clinic for all that it's worth. 1897 01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,599 Speaker 3: Only mix ups happen. They're not uncommon in the United States. 1898 01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:06,760 Speaker 3: In California, there was a case of two women who 1899 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:10,439 Speaker 3: gave birth to each other's babies and then had to swap. 1900 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:16,120 Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, if you have to get this right, people, 1901 01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:19,360 Speaker 3: and it's not something you want to screw up because 1902 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:21,920 Speaker 3: that poor woman, think of it, thirty eight years old, 1903 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:27,840 Speaker 3: carries the baby full term, has the baby, thinking this 1904 01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:29,920 Speaker 3: is the start of a new life with her child, 1905 01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:32,800 Speaker 3: and then not only is it not hers, but she 1906 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:37,120 Speaker 3: can't keep it. That's brutal. She'll probably get knowing it's 1907 01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:43,160 Speaker 3: America lots and lots of money, but that's probably small recompense. 1908 01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,400 Speaker 3: Six minutes away from seven, I'll take you to England 1909 01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:50,160 Speaker 3: now with the English Folk Dance and Song Society. Immediately boring, 1910 01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 3: but anyway, it gets better. They have put out a 1911 01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:59,240 Speaker 3: press release they want their dancers to stop using terms 1912 01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,799 Speaker 3: like ladies and gentlemen for fear of offending minority genders. 1913 01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,439 Speaker 3: Now this is interesting because barn dancers, which they do, 1914 01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:11,439 Speaker 3: have defined male and female roles and the caller has 1915 01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:16,479 Speaker 3: to say, you know, man, woman, etc. It's quite important 1916 01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:20,040 Speaker 3: in this particular dancing community. What they want them to 1917 01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,360 Speaker 3: do instead is just define people by the colors that 1918 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:26,439 Speaker 3: they're wearing, so you would say, hey, person in the 1919 01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,320 Speaker 3: purple or person in the orange, can you please do this? 1920 01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:33,400 Speaker 3: As opposed to men, I mean, how is it? How 1921 01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:35,559 Speaker 3: practical is that if you've got a group of people 1922 01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:37,080 Speaker 3: and you're trying to corral them and you need the 1923 01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:41,759 Speaker 3: men to do something or the women to do something. Honestly, 1924 01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:45,080 Speaker 3: just sounds like an absolute nightmare. Coming up to four 1925 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,360 Speaker 3: minutes away from seven and it's what are we going 1926 01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:48,040 Speaker 3: out to tonight? 1927 01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,599 Speaker 19: Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce to play us out. 1928 01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,000 Speaker 19: So Lady Gago's got her new album out, so she's 1929 01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:56,519 Speaker 19: doing the press circuit and everything. So Vanity Fair did 1930 01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:58,800 Speaker 19: something quite clever. Actually, they did a lie detector interview 1931 01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:00,160 Speaker 19: where they hooked up to a light at tea the 1932 01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:01,960 Speaker 19: test and just ask her a bunch of stuff, you know, 1933 01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:06,080 Speaker 19: just to see whether anything pinged. So one of the 1934 01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:08,599 Speaker 19: questions was will there be a sequel to the song? 1935 01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,719 Speaker 19: Came out a long time ago. Lady Gaga and Beyonce 1936 01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:14,000 Speaker 19: haven't collabed since then, so will there be one? So 1937 01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:20,080 Speaker 19: she said maybe, which I think is cheating. She said yes. 1938 01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,320 Speaker 19: But then when I asked, will Beyonce be involved? She 1939 01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:24,920 Speaker 19: said maybe, which you know, I think she's found a way. 1940 01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 10: Around that one. 1941 01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:28,479 Speaker 19: But when asked, is the only reason you haven't done 1942 01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:30,640 Speaker 19: one because of scheduling conflicts with Beyonce? She said no, 1943 01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:32,400 Speaker 19: So a bit more of a clear answer on that. 1944 01:39:33,120 --> 01:39:35,679 Speaker 3: Okay, it's a good song. It's a really good song. Thanksance, 1945 01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:36,960 Speaker 3: Thanks everyone, say tomorrow. 1946 01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:33,960 Speaker 1: For more from Hither Duplessy Alan Drive, listen live to 1947 01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,120 Speaker 1: news Talks it'd be from four pm weekdays, or follow 1948 01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:38,920 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
