Is that a good idea or bad idea? 113 00:04:35,053 --> 00:04:35,253 Speaker 1: Yeah? 114 00:04:35,253 --> 00:04:37,133 Speaker 2: A mate gave me a saying for this the other day. 115 00:04:37,173 --> 00:04:39,293 Speaker 2: Bank holidays. So you're going on a holiday, but you 116 00:04:39,333 --> 00:04:40,053 Speaker 2: haven't saved. 117 00:04:39,853 --> 00:04:40,173 Speaker 7: Up for it. 118 00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:41,893 Speaker 2: You're just hipping it on the mortgage or on the 119 00:04:41,933 --> 00:04:45,173 Speaker 2: credit card or on a pay later situation. Is that 120 00:04:45,213 --> 00:04:45,973 Speaker 2: the right thing to do? 121 00:04:46,093 --> 00:04:46,293 Speaker 6: Is that? 122 00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:46,613 Speaker 8: Really? 123 00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:49,813 Speaker 2: You know, making your future self pay for your holiday 124 00:04:49,933 --> 00:04:51,813 Speaker 2: right now? Is that the way to do it? And 125 00:04:51,853 --> 00:04:53,413 Speaker 2: we want to look at the other dimension on this, 126 00:04:53,533 --> 00:04:57,493 Speaker 2: and it's the triangle of health, time and money. 127 00:04:57,693 --> 00:04:57,853 Speaker 6: Yep. 128 00:04:58,133 --> 00:05:01,853 Speaker 2: And when you're young, you have health, but you often 129 00:05:01,853 --> 00:05:03,973 Speaker 2: don't have time or money. When you're older, you might 130 00:05:04,013 --> 00:05:05,333 Speaker 2: have the time and the money, but you don't have 131 00:05:05,373 --> 00:05:07,093 Speaker 2: the health exactly. So it was it better just to 132 00:05:07,093 --> 00:05:09,333 Speaker 2: blow all your money now and run up a mortgage 133 00:05:09,933 --> 00:05:12,533 Speaker 2: when you're in your thirties, forties, fifties and pay it 134 00:05:12,573 --> 00:05:14,893 Speaker 2: off later or what what's the best way to do it? 135 00:05:14,973 --> 00:05:15,133 Speaker 9: Yep. 136 00:05:15,133 --> 00:05:16,933 Speaker 3: We're going to get into that after two o'clock because 137 00:05:16,973 --> 00:05:19,013 Speaker 3: right now, let's have a chat about congestion charging. So 138 00:05:19,053 --> 00:05:22,653 Speaker 3: the Government's Land Transport Management Bill, it's currently open for 139 00:05:22,653 --> 00:05:26,133 Speaker 3: public submissions and councils are looking to make their own submissions. 140 00:05:26,173 --> 00:05:29,453 Speaker 3: So this bill would effectively enable local councils to work 141 00:05:29,493 --> 00:05:33,773 Speaker 3: with m ZTA two design congestion charging schemes. One Totong 142 00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:37,373 Speaker 3: councilor he's called it a cash grab, Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown. 143 00:05:37,493 --> 00:05:40,773 Speaker 3: He is right behind the idea of a congestion charge. 144 00:05:41,093 --> 00:05:44,733 Speaker 3: But is this really the best way to pay for infrastructure? 145 00:05:44,813 --> 00:05:47,573 Speaker 2: Well, maybe it is, But my problem with it, and 146 00:05:47,573 --> 00:05:49,493 Speaker 2: I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this one hundred 147 00:05:49,493 --> 00:05:51,533 Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty, But is it just that it 148 00:05:51,613 --> 00:05:53,053 Speaker 2: struck me the other day. I was trying to work 149 00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:56,693 Speaker 2: out why I'm against congestion charge, why I'm so avidly 150 00:05:56,733 --> 00:05:59,413 Speaker 2: against them, Well, why they make me angry? And it 151 00:05:59,453 --> 00:06:02,093 Speaker 2: just struck me that every solution to every problem that 152 00:06:02,133 --> 00:06:04,893 Speaker 2: we have in this country involves punching the same productive 153 00:06:04,933 --> 00:06:08,293 Speaker 2: members of society in the face. You want less traffic, 154 00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:11,333 Speaker 2: punish those who are driving to work. Every solution is 155 00:06:11,373 --> 00:06:15,293 Speaker 2: just taking more money from the productive people of our society. 156 00:06:15,893 --> 00:06:18,693 Speaker 2: So I just I think that's I'll put my finger 157 00:06:18,693 --> 00:06:21,373 Speaker 2: on why I'm against them. Yeah, because you've got to 158 00:06:21,373 --> 00:06:23,573 Speaker 2: come up with some solutions that don't involve just taking 159 00:06:23,613 --> 00:06:26,093 Speaker 2: money from the people that you're constantly taking money from. 160 00:06:26,173 --> 00:06:27,933 Speaker 2: And I know you'll go, Wow, who else is there 161 00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:30,853 Speaker 2: to take money from? But maybe just leave them alone? Yeah, 162 00:06:30,933 --> 00:06:33,373 Speaker 2: maybe maybe just leave it alone. 163 00:06:33,573 --> 00:06:35,773 Speaker 3: Just stop, yeah, stop with the cash grab. But no, 164 00:06:35,813 --> 00:06:38,173 Speaker 3: it's a fair point because those people who are driving 165 00:06:38,213 --> 00:06:41,213 Speaker 3: and peak our times, which is when this congestion charging 166 00:06:41,253 --> 00:06:43,053 Speaker 3: comes in. It doesn't happen at any other times of 167 00:06:43,093 --> 00:06:45,213 Speaker 3: the day. It is when people are going to work 168 00:06:45,253 --> 00:06:47,853 Speaker 3: and coming home from work. And what are those workers doing. 169 00:06:48,173 --> 00:06:51,493 Speaker 3: They are earning money, and they are earning tech money 170 00:06:51,533 --> 00:06:52,733 Speaker 3: going to government coffers. 171 00:06:52,733 --> 00:06:53,413 Speaker 2: So you're quite right. 172 00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,413 Speaker 3: It is targeting the very people we rely on to 173 00:06:56,493 --> 00:06:57,413 Speaker 3: keep society going. 174 00:06:57,573 --> 00:06:59,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we need more people going into towns to 175 00:06:59,893 --> 00:07:02,853 Speaker 2: spend money because you might say people will find other 176 00:07:02,853 --> 00:07:05,493 Speaker 2: forms of transport, but where are those other convenient forms 177 00:07:05,533 --> 00:07:08,133 Speaker 2: of transport to get people into town. What will happen 178 00:07:08,253 --> 00:07:10,053 Speaker 2: is people will just stay at home and then you 179 00:07:10,173 --> 00:07:15,053 Speaker 2: kick other people in the bollocks by hostpow jobs disappearing. 180 00:07:15,133 --> 00:07:19,533 Speaker 2: Cafes and restaurants and bars and lunch places will disappear 181 00:07:19,573 --> 00:07:21,333 Speaker 2: because people are just at home and they're getting all 182 00:07:21,333 --> 00:07:25,093 Speaker 2: their food from the supermarket. So then there's more working 183 00:07:25,093 --> 00:07:27,853 Speaker 2: class jobs going. So it just seems to me that 184 00:07:27,893 --> 00:07:32,173 Speaker 2: these congestion charges are just I think it's like an 185 00:07:32,213 --> 00:07:35,493 Speaker 2: easy solution. We need money to do this, we believe, 186 00:07:36,173 --> 00:07:38,373 Speaker 2: we believe that people are wasting too much time and cars, 187 00:07:38,413 --> 00:07:40,733 Speaker 2: But is it. I think it's more complicated than that. 188 00:07:41,093 --> 00:07:43,973 Speaker 3: Any council that brings in something like a congestion charge, 189 00:07:43,973 --> 00:07:45,973 Speaker 3: they're going to get an absolute kicking out. They most 190 00:07:46,013 --> 00:07:48,093 Speaker 3: of them, I think, are going to push this to 191 00:07:48,773 --> 00:07:51,973 Speaker 3: after the local body elections in October because any council 192 00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:53,973 Speaker 3: that puts in their submission saying yep, this is a 193 00:07:54,013 --> 00:07:56,213 Speaker 3: good idea. I think they're going to get booted out. 194 00:07:56,253 --> 00:08:01,133 Speaker 2: And I call bollocks on Auckland. Transport congestion is projected 195 00:08:01,173 --> 00:08:03,533 Speaker 2: to cost the local economy two point six billion anally 196 00:08:03,573 --> 00:08:07,133 Speaker 2: from annually from twenty twenty six, including one point nine 197 00:08:07,173 --> 00:08:09,653 Speaker 2: billion and delays and seven undred million dollars in macro 198 00:08:09,693 --> 00:08:13,653 Speaker 2: economic losses. That's the mean the Deneathan, the Auckland example. 199 00:08:13,933 --> 00:08:17,413 Speaker 2: I call bollocks on that because working out how people 200 00:08:17,413 --> 00:08:19,533 Speaker 2: are productive is very hard. You can be productive in 201 00:08:19,573 --> 00:08:22,413 Speaker 2: your car or you may have any have a certain 202 00:08:22,453 --> 00:08:24,573 Speaker 2: amount of productivity in the day, and that hour you 203 00:08:24,613 --> 00:08:26,893 Speaker 2: sitting in the car just listening to the radio or 204 00:08:26,893 --> 00:08:30,133 Speaker 2: what are you doing. Yeah, then maybe that's a chill 205 00:08:30,133 --> 00:08:31,773 Speaker 2: period that comes you down and you're more productive when 206 00:08:31,813 --> 00:08:33,533 Speaker 2: you get to work. I think I think they're very 207 00:08:33,573 --> 00:08:36,253 Speaker 2: blunt analysis of what productivity is exactly. 208 00:08:36,293 --> 00:08:38,132 Speaker 3: And then we talk about the modeling, So the quote here. 209 00:08:38,173 --> 00:08:41,532 Speaker 3: Modeling shows that successful time of use charging. Charging motorists 210 00:08:41,573 --> 00:08:43,893 Speaker 3: to travel on certain roads at peak times will encourage 211 00:08:43,892 --> 00:08:45,973 Speaker 3: people to change the time or mode of travel and 212 00:08:46,012 --> 00:08:49,133 Speaker 3: could reduce congestion by up to eight to twelve percent 213 00:08:49,173 --> 00:08:50,933 Speaker 3: at peak times. Yeah, I'm sure it does. But what 214 00:08:50,973 --> 00:08:52,292 Speaker 3: are those people going to do. They're going to be 215 00:08:52,333 --> 00:08:54,053 Speaker 3: working from home. They're not going to be spending money 216 00:08:54,053 --> 00:08:56,893 Speaker 3: at the local coffee shop and the CBD that side. 217 00:08:56,892 --> 00:08:58,613 Speaker 3: And we've done that, We've done the work from home 218 00:08:58,653 --> 00:09:01,733 Speaker 3: experience experiment and it turned out that it was a 219 00:09:01,732 --> 00:09:03,252 Speaker 3: bit of a disaster and even runs back in the 220 00:09:03,252 --> 00:09:04,372 Speaker 3: workplace now, thank god. 221 00:09:04,492 --> 00:09:06,652 Speaker 2: Well, hopefully people are back in the workplace. People should be. 222 00:09:06,693 --> 00:09:08,293 Speaker 2: We want more and more people back in the workplace. 223 00:09:08,333 --> 00:09:12,773 Speaker 2: This is terrible mental health and problems from socialization. And 224 00:09:12,813 --> 00:09:15,653 Speaker 2: people might think it's better to be at home, but 225 00:09:16,053 --> 00:09:19,253 Speaker 2: across time it's not. I mean, you do better at 226 00:09:19,293 --> 00:09:21,573 Speaker 2: work if you're in at work, even if you're more 227 00:09:22,293 --> 00:09:24,533 Speaker 2: even if the productivity was the same at home, the 228 00:09:24,573 --> 00:09:27,053 Speaker 2: perceived productivity is better at work. You're more likely to 229 00:09:27,053 --> 00:09:28,732 Speaker 2: get a promotion if you're around the person that can 230 00:09:28,773 --> 00:09:31,053 Speaker 2: promote you. So all these things that just push people 231 00:09:31,093 --> 00:09:34,133 Speaker 2: to stay at home, I call bollocks on on congestion charges, 232 00:09:34,173 --> 00:09:36,493 Speaker 2: but very good point that's just come through. As I 233 00:09:36,533 --> 00:09:38,333 Speaker 2: was saying, Geez, Matt, try taking it from the non 234 00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:41,333 Speaker 2: predictive productive members of society and see what you get. 235 00:09:41,492 --> 00:09:42,773 Speaker 2: I mean that is the catch twenty two. 236 00:09:42,773 --> 00:09:44,973 Speaker 3: They don't have much to give to Yeah, oh eight 237 00:09:44,973 --> 00:09:47,293 Speaker 3: one hundred eighty ten eighty. How do you feel about 238 00:09:47,333 --> 00:09:49,653 Speaker 3: the idea of a congestion charge? Is it the best 239 00:09:49,653 --> 00:09:51,733 Speaker 3: way to get the money to fund the infra structure 240 00:09:51,773 --> 00:09:54,093 Speaker 3: and roads or is there a better way to do it? 241 00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:55,453 Speaker 3: Love to hear your thoughts on this one. 242 00:09:55,573 --> 00:09:58,533 Speaker 2: Ah, You're just sick of being punched in the face 243 00:09:58,573 --> 00:10:00,813 Speaker 2: for cash over and over and over again, and you 244 00:10:00,973 --> 00:10:02,693 Speaker 2: being the solution to everyone else's problems. 245 00:10:02,693 --> 00:10:06,333 Speaker 3: And it's good a bus one the big stories, the 246 00:10:06,372 --> 00:10:09,732 Speaker 3: big issues, the big trends and everything in between. 247 00:10:09,933 --> 00:10:12,892 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks. 248 00:10:12,892 --> 00:10:16,133 Speaker 3: I'd be very good afternoon to you. We're talking about 249 00:10:16,173 --> 00:10:19,852 Speaker 3: congestion charges. There is a bill in the Select committee 250 00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:22,533 Speaker 3: stage at the moment from the government and it is 251 00:10:22,573 --> 00:10:25,693 Speaker 3: open for public submissions. But it would effectively allow councils 252 00:10:25,732 --> 00:10:29,453 Speaker 3: and n ZTA to work together to implement congestion charges 253 00:10:29,533 --> 00:10:30,373 Speaker 3: during peak times. 254 00:10:30,413 --> 00:10:33,693 Speaker 2: And a Totonger counselor has slammed congestion charging down there 255 00:10:33,693 --> 00:10:35,932 Speaker 2: as a dirty cash grab. Do you believe it is 256 00:10:35,973 --> 00:10:38,973 Speaker 2: the same thing meyor Wayne Brown wants to subject it 257 00:10:39,012 --> 00:10:42,053 Speaker 2: on New zeal In New Zealand, what a class. I'm 258 00:10:42,053 --> 00:10:42,413 Speaker 2: from Dene. 259 00:10:42,573 --> 00:10:44,292 Speaker 3: I'm sure he'd love to if I'd love to be 260 00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:44,813 Speaker 3: the mayor of News. 261 00:10:44,973 --> 00:10:47,652 Speaker 2: If I wasn't from danneedan old, you could accuse me 262 00:10:47,693 --> 00:10:51,293 Speaker 2: of being Aucklander that describes Auckland as New Zealand. Wayne 263 00:10:51,413 --> 00:10:57,213 Speaker 2: Brown is suggesting to subject it on to Auckland drivers. 264 00:10:57,773 --> 00:11:00,053 Speaker 2: He's very very keen on it. But what do you 265 00:11:00,213 --> 00:11:02,293 Speaker 2: think about it, Peter, Welcome to the show. 266 00:11:03,533 --> 00:11:04,053 Speaker 10: Here you go. 267 00:11:04,533 --> 00:11:07,133 Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm agree with you John totally. It's just another 268 00:11:07,252 --> 00:11:10,893 Speaker 11: cash grabber that's treating us like idiots. They just doing 269 00:11:11,012 --> 00:11:13,053 Speaker 11: the day, the councils, the governor that they want to 270 00:11:13,252 --> 00:11:14,813 Speaker 11: how can we get the money? I will bring this 271 00:11:14,892 --> 00:11:19,653 Speaker 11: like all they're doing is following other overseas policies as well, 272 00:11:19,693 --> 00:11:22,172 Speaker 11: exactly what they're doing. But the end of the day, 273 00:11:22,252 --> 00:11:24,652 Speaker 11: like you said, is I had a sister up on 274 00:11:24,813 --> 00:11:27,533 Speaker 11: Orc you sell out there for see, just retired recently 275 00:11:27,973 --> 00:11:30,973 Speaker 11: and he used to go around to avoid the you say, 276 00:11:31,132 --> 00:11:33,253 Speaker 11: so called motorways and there. If you're lucky enough to 277 00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:35,532 Speaker 11: do that, you just go around the back streets and 278 00:11:35,813 --> 00:11:38,253 Speaker 11: get around it so he can get around it. So 279 00:11:38,693 --> 00:11:41,252 Speaker 11: if you really put your your plan, your roots, you 280 00:11:41,293 --> 00:11:44,532 Speaker 11: can actually avoid the traffic to a degree. Not always, 281 00:11:44,612 --> 00:11:47,813 Speaker 11: but I still recognize that you gentlemen just said, is 282 00:11:47,892 --> 00:11:51,652 Speaker 11: that the government's saying you want growth from the city 283 00:11:51,773 --> 00:11:54,412 Speaker 11: right in this country. You want people, we want to 284 00:11:54,612 --> 00:11:58,653 Speaker 11: create businesses. And what they're doing is by restricting these 285 00:11:58,653 --> 00:12:01,053 Speaker 11: soholled times and they put them in places there is 286 00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:04,172 Speaker 11: from sevens or eight l eight there whatever time frames 287 00:12:04,173 --> 00:12:06,013 Speaker 11: they're going to put in. So all you're doing is 288 00:12:06,533 --> 00:12:08,933 Speaker 11: you're going to take You're going to stopeople from going 289 00:12:08,933 --> 00:12:11,893 Speaker 11: for today's businesses because they can't get there or whatever. 290 00:12:12,093 --> 00:12:14,013 Speaker 11: So you're actually probably going to end up shutting buses 291 00:12:14,453 --> 00:12:14,852 Speaker 11: and down. 292 00:12:15,093 --> 00:12:16,173 Speaker 3: Yeah. 293 00:12:16,213 --> 00:12:19,013 Speaker 2: Absolutely, So you're taking away those jobs. You know, people 294 00:12:19,053 --> 00:12:22,773 Speaker 2: that create things like they'll open a cafe, a lunch bar, 295 00:12:23,372 --> 00:12:25,813 Speaker 2: bars for people to go to afterworks restaurants. All that 296 00:12:25,852 --> 00:12:28,213 Speaker 2: stuff gets taken away, which is a whole nother level 297 00:12:28,372 --> 00:12:32,132 Speaker 2: of construction and a whole level of employment in the 298 00:12:32,132 --> 00:12:38,053 Speaker 2: hospitality industry as well. Because people in this beautiful utopian dream, 299 00:12:38,252 --> 00:12:41,453 Speaker 2: people will take public transport into work or they'll pay 300 00:12:41,453 --> 00:12:44,773 Speaker 2: the congestion charge whatever, they just won't. People will stay 301 00:12:44,813 --> 00:12:47,933 Speaker 2: at home and they'll go back to zoom and the 302 00:12:47,973 --> 00:12:51,933 Speaker 2: central cities will become ghost towns or businesses that are 303 00:12:51,933 --> 00:12:55,413 Speaker 2: in the central cities will move out to know the 304 00:12:55,492 --> 00:12:58,732 Speaker 2: fast suburbs and you just end up having no CBD. 305 00:12:58,813 --> 00:13:01,732 Speaker 2: And if you're like judging from my experience in Auckland 306 00:13:01,732 --> 00:13:04,173 Speaker 2: at the moment, it's pretty die down there in the CBD. 307 00:13:04,333 --> 00:13:07,533 Speaker 3: But is that just because our public transport is rubbish, 308 00:13:07,573 --> 00:13:09,693 Speaker 3: it is not for for purpose. It's the horse before 309 00:13:09,732 --> 00:13:13,372 Speaker 3: the cart, right, is that they're trying to make parking 310 00:13:13,372 --> 00:13:16,653 Speaker 3: more expensive than Auckland CBD and extending it out on 311 00:13:16,693 --> 00:13:18,453 Speaker 3: where you have to pay, and then they want to 312 00:13:18,453 --> 00:13:19,653 Speaker 3: implement congestion judges. 313 00:13:19,693 --> 00:13:22,652 Speaker 2: So all of these little lesson that's all a conspiracy 314 00:13:22,653 --> 00:13:25,732 Speaker 2: theory to make this city rail link look more successful 315 00:13:25,773 --> 00:13:26,252 Speaker 2: when it starts. 316 00:13:26,252 --> 00:13:28,813 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, which was incredibly expensive in the first place. 317 00:13:28,892 --> 00:13:32,093 Speaker 2: But so there's some taxi here, says so everyone stays 318 00:13:32,093 --> 00:13:34,373 Speaker 2: at home in London because of the congestion charge. No, 319 00:13:34,573 --> 00:13:37,853 Speaker 2: because they have an incredibly functional public transport which we 320 00:13:37,973 --> 00:13:38,533 Speaker 2: just don't have. 321 00:13:38,813 --> 00:13:40,893 Speaker 3: So people, would you be just on that, would you 322 00:13:41,012 --> 00:13:44,052 Speaker 3: be in favor of pumping some more money into public transport. 323 00:13:46,852 --> 00:13:49,493 Speaker 11: Yeah, but until I think that's getting better up on 324 00:13:49,533 --> 00:13:51,973 Speaker 11: Auckland or Wellington and whatever. We all know the problem 325 00:13:52,053 --> 00:13:54,852 Speaker 11: is until if I go and stand out a bus 326 00:13:54,852 --> 00:13:57,573 Speaker 11: stop and I can guarantee that bus is going to 327 00:13:57,612 --> 00:14:02,612 Speaker 11: pack me up, they don't. Yeah, so people just forced 328 00:14:02,653 --> 00:14:05,373 Speaker 11: to use their car pretty much until they we have 329 00:14:05,453 --> 00:14:09,372 Speaker 11: a reliable transport system and or one thing, whatever city 330 00:14:09,372 --> 00:14:12,813 Speaker 11: it may be. Until that's resolved, forget about it. People 331 00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:14,532 Speaker 11: are just going to get fed up going to a 332 00:14:14,573 --> 00:14:17,292 Speaker 11: bus stop when they just they ain't there, or they 333 00:14:17,773 --> 00:14:20,493 Speaker 11: arrive half here. You've got to be at your workplace 334 00:14:20,493 --> 00:14:23,573 Speaker 11: at say, nine o'clock whatever, and you don't show up, Okay, 335 00:14:23,613 --> 00:14:25,813 Speaker 11: the bus will, the boss will. Maybe you wonder stand 336 00:14:25,853 --> 00:14:27,133 Speaker 11: and you please partly realize it's. 337 00:14:27,053 --> 00:14:27,653 Speaker 12: Not your fault. 338 00:14:27,933 --> 00:14:31,693 Speaker 3: It's not there's no way to run a business and 339 00:14:31,733 --> 00:14:33,533 Speaker 3: it's no way to be an employee. I'm sure on 340 00:14:33,613 --> 00:14:38,693 Speaker 3: both sides of that equation. It's yeah, you can't run 341 00:14:38,733 --> 00:14:40,853 Speaker 3: a society that way. Peter, you're quite right, thank you 342 00:14:40,973 --> 00:14:42,412 Speaker 3: very much. Of your phone call, Oh one hundred and 343 00:14:42,453 --> 00:14:44,292 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Just on 344 00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:48,253 Speaker 3: the alternative, I would be more in favor of something 345 00:14:48,333 --> 00:14:51,333 Speaker 3: like tolls. And the reason I like tolls over congestion 346 00:14:51,493 --> 00:14:53,973 Speaker 3: charges is because it hits everybody. It's not reliant on 347 00:14:54,053 --> 00:14:56,813 Speaker 3: times of the day that, as you say, affects productive 348 00:14:56,853 --> 00:14:58,653 Speaker 3: members of society more than others. 349 00:14:58,653 --> 00:15:01,373 Speaker 2: So a toll system and punishes, you know, stops the 350 00:15:01,373 --> 00:15:03,453 Speaker 2: collective experience of humans coming together. 351 00:15:03,613 --> 00:15:06,693 Speaker 3: Yep, exactly. And a toll system has to offer an 352 00:15:06,733 --> 00:15:09,333 Speaker 3: alternative route that doesn't charge people. So if you don't 353 00:15:09,333 --> 00:15:11,133 Speaker 3: want to pay, and you want to add ten minutes 354 00:15:11,173 --> 00:15:12,693 Speaker 3: to your journey, you can do that. But what do 355 00:15:12,733 --> 00:15:14,853 Speaker 3: you say eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 356 00:15:14,973 --> 00:15:16,813 Speaker 3: number to call? It's twenty three past one. 357 00:15:18,413 --> 00:15:22,333 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic Hosking breakfast. 358 00:15:22,373 --> 00:15:24,493 Speaker 13: The operating allowance for the budget next month, which was 359 00:15:24,533 --> 00:15:26,933 Speaker 13: already tight at two point four billion, has been slashed 360 00:15:27,013 --> 00:15:29,693 Speaker 13: one point three. Former Finance Minister Stephen Joyce withers, would 361 00:15:29,693 --> 00:15:32,013 Speaker 13: you have done the same? And two is it foolish 362 00:15:32,093 --> 00:15:32,293 Speaker 13: or not? 363 00:15:32,453 --> 00:15:35,013 Speaker 9: No, it's not foolish, and I probably would have done 364 00:15:35,013 --> 00:15:38,973 Speaker 9: something similar because there is a huge capacity to still 365 00:15:38,973 --> 00:15:42,293 Speaker 9: reduce the upwards trend of government spending. I'm assuming in 366 00:15:42,373 --> 00:15:44,653 Speaker 9: that move they've found quite a bit of waste and 367 00:15:44,773 --> 00:15:45,813 Speaker 9: they'll be able to do something with it. 368 00:15:45,893 --> 00:15:48,013 Speaker 13: Do you believe the twenty nine surplus thing or not. 369 00:15:48,173 --> 00:15:49,933 Speaker 9: I think it's a good goal. Of course, it's back 370 00:15:49,973 --> 00:15:51,933 Speaker 9: from where it was. But I'm down to be yeah. 371 00:15:51,973 --> 00:15:53,453 Speaker 9: I think you've got to have that at the target, 372 00:15:53,493 --> 00:15:55,173 Speaker 9: and a lot of it will depend on the state 373 00:15:55,213 --> 00:15:57,053 Speaker 9: of the world of comeo that in a couple of years. 374 00:15:57,213 --> 00:16:00,053 Speaker 13: Back tomorrow at six am, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 375 00:16:00,173 --> 00:16:02,213 Speaker 13: Mayley's Real Estate News Talk zed. 376 00:16:02,053 --> 00:16:06,453 Speaker 3: B News talk ed B.

But councils around 380 00:16:16,053 --> 00:16:18,933 Speaker 3: the country are deciding on their own submissions whether they 381 00:16:18,973 --> 00:16:22,853 Speaker 3: are for or in favor of this particular bill and 382 00:16:22,893 --> 00:16:26,253 Speaker 3: the ability to charge people for traveling at peak times 383 00:16:26,493 --> 00:16:26,933 Speaker 3: of the day. 384 00:16:27,053 --> 00:16:29,373 Speaker 2: Lionel says, Matt and what's his name, doesn't matter what 385 00:16:29,413 --> 00:16:31,893 Speaker 2: your name the other guy's name is.

Ask Brown where he plans to get 395 00:16:57,893 --> 00:16:59,853 Speaker 2: the two point five billion dollars to build and monitor 396 00:16:59,893 --> 00:17:00,292 Speaker 2: the charges. 397 00:17:00,333 --> 00:17:01,853 Speaker 3: Where did the English come into this one? 398 00:17:01,933 --> 00:17:02,333 Speaker 9: I don't know. 399 00:17:02,373 --> 00:17:03,292 Speaker 3: It was Pom's but. 400 00:17:05,853 --> 00:17:08,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there you go. Good team trying to unpack 401 00:17:09,053 --> 00:17:12,773 Speaker 2: that one. Guys. In my view of congestion charge is 402 00:17:12,773 --> 00:17:15,213 Speaker 2: it admission by local authorities that they have not been 403 00:17:15,253 --> 00:17:18,213 Speaker 2: able to plan and build the necessary infrastructure to support 404 00:17:18,253 --> 00:17:20,853 Speaker 2: the population growth. They have allowed so in reality and 405 00:17:20,893 --> 00:17:22,493 Speaker 2: a mission of failure. Thanks Richard. 406 00:17:22,813 --> 00:17:23,133 Speaker 3: Yeah. 407 00:17:23,133 --> 00:17:25,893 Speaker 2: It's funny though, because councils come and go and they 408 00:17:25,933 --> 00:17:28,693 Speaker 2: all seem to fail, and the current council is always 409 00:17:28,693 --> 00:17:31,373 Speaker 2: trying to well. Parts of a current council are trying 410 00:17:31,373 --> 00:17:33,453 Speaker 2: to solve problems of the past doren't they And one 411 00:17:33,453 --> 00:17:37,133 Speaker 2: of their solutions is these congestion charges. Linda, welcome to 412 00:17:37,173 --> 00:17:39,613 Speaker 2: the show. Your thoughts, Hi. 413 00:17:39,653 --> 00:17:43,373 Speaker 5: Guys, how are you going? I live in west. 414 00:17:43,093 --> 00:17:46,053 Speaker 3: Auckland, good place, and a lot of. 415 00:17:46,013 --> 00:17:50,733 Speaker 5: Our medical services are shipped out to Northull Hospital, right, 416 00:17:51,373 --> 00:17:57,533 Speaker 5: so we would have to drive to Noltural Hospital because 417 00:17:57,813 --> 00:17:59,693 Speaker 5: bus train whatever. 418 00:17:59,573 --> 00:18:00,293 Speaker 14: Not going to happen. 419 00:18:00,373 --> 00:18:01,053 Speaker 2: You're good luck with that. 420 00:18:01,253 --> 00:18:03,733 Speaker 5: Get to nor Shall Hospital. You have to pay for 421 00:18:03,773 --> 00:18:07,293 Speaker 5: your parking for maybe a fifteen minute visit, which is 422 00:18:07,293 --> 00:18:09,653 Speaker 5: probably going to take your an hour, to be honest, 423 00:18:10,893 --> 00:18:13,653 Speaker 5: drive all the way back. It's another forty minutes each 424 00:18:13,693 --> 00:18:17,453 Speaker 5: way you've all taken. What time your appointment is? Why 425 00:18:17,573 --> 00:18:22,052 Speaker 5: is that fair on the elderly, the handicapped, you know, 426 00:18:22,733 --> 00:18:25,253 Speaker 5: just because our hospital can't provide it on the side 427 00:18:25,253 --> 00:18:26,133 Speaker 5: of the bridge. 428 00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:29,293 Speaker 2: And so how does that that? That does sound rough? 429 00:18:29,413 --> 00:18:31,853 Speaker 2: And how do you think a congestion charge would affect that? 430 00:18:33,093 --> 00:18:36,292 Speaker 5: Well? I mean you've got your parking. I don't know 431 00:18:36,293 --> 00:18:38,893 Speaker 5: how much that is recently a lot, and you'd stick 432 00:18:38,933 --> 00:18:41,213 Speaker 5: a congestion charge on top of that. That's a lot 433 00:18:41,253 --> 00:18:43,693 Speaker 5: of people who are suddenly going to go. You know, 434 00:18:43,893 --> 00:18:47,613 Speaker 5: I can't afford to actually have my house looked at 435 00:18:47,733 --> 00:18:50,053 Speaker 5: at a hospital on the other side. 436 00:18:50,413 --> 00:18:53,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is crazy. So what kind of I'm 437 00:18:53,213 --> 00:18:56,533 Speaker 2: not across the sorry Linda, but what kind of services 438 00:18:56,533 --> 00:18:58,813 Speaker 2: are only being provided on the on the North Shore 439 00:18:59,413 --> 00:19:03,173 Speaker 2: for West Auckland residents. 440 00:19:02,213 --> 00:19:06,532 Speaker 5: It's it's a lot of them. If you've got like 441 00:19:06,573 --> 00:19:09,373 Speaker 5: a heart problem, you have to go to the North 442 00:19:09,373 --> 00:19:15,133 Speaker 5: Shore at least once for various tests surgery because all 443 00:19:15,133 --> 00:19:19,773 Speaker 5: of that's over on the shore. So pacemakers stense Ladi 444 00:19:19,813 --> 00:19:25,213 Speaker 5: blah blah, Yeah, gosh, I know that's what we used 445 00:19:25,253 --> 00:19:27,653 Speaker 5: to go over there for all the time. A lot 446 00:19:27,693 --> 00:19:29,413 Speaker 5: of cancer services as well. 447 00:19:29,653 --> 00:19:32,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds harsh. Yeah, I mean so then you'd 448 00:19:32,493 --> 00:19:34,933 Speaker 2: have to in the congestion charge, which would be limited time, 449 00:19:35,013 --> 00:19:37,893 Speaker 2: so to be around these peak times, you know, before 450 00:19:37,973 --> 00:19:40,613 Speaker 2: you know, in whatever hours, I don't know, seven to 451 00:19:40,773 --> 00:19:43,973 Speaker 2: nine am probably and then four thirty to six whatever 452 00:19:44,053 --> 00:19:46,973 Speaker 2: times that they decide to peak, and we'll probably slowly 453 00:19:47,053 --> 00:19:49,093 Speaker 2: creep it wider and wider once they get in there. 454 00:19:49,133 --> 00:19:52,333 Speaker 3: Like they weekends, the weekends are just as busy as 455 00:19:52,373 --> 00:19:53,333 Speaker 3: peak the peak house. 456 00:19:53,213 --> 00:19:55,933 Speaker 2: And so someone that's needing to go over to go 457 00:19:55,973 --> 00:19:58,813 Speaker 2: to a hospital is going to be like either they 458 00:19:58,853 --> 00:20:01,693 Speaker 2: book and you know they need to take any appointment 459 00:20:01,733 --> 00:20:03,253 Speaker 2: they can get. But then that would be narrowed down 460 00:20:03,293 --> 00:20:05,333 Speaker 2: to bits that weren't going to affect peak time because 461 00:20:05,373 --> 00:20:08,493 Speaker 2: then they'd have to pay the congestion charge. Too many, 462 00:20:08,693 --> 00:20:13,493 Speaker 2: too many, too many people getting unduly attacked by this. 463 00:20:13,653 --> 00:20:15,573 Speaker 3: If you ask me, well, then we talk about exemptions, 464 00:20:15,573 --> 00:20:17,213 Speaker 3: and this is when it gets really what I was 465 00:20:17,253 --> 00:20:17,653 Speaker 3: looking for. 466 00:20:17,733 --> 00:20:21,453 Speaker 2: Ye So I was saying unduly attacked. Too many exemptions 467 00:20:21,453 --> 00:20:26,053 Speaker 2: would be required to make it practical. In my opinion, exactly. 468 00:20:25,653 --> 00:20:27,533 Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 469 00:20:27,533 --> 00:20:30,292 Speaker 3: to call. Love your thoughts on congestion charging, good idea 470 00:20:30,453 --> 00:20:33,933 Speaker 3: or stupid idea?

Auckland ranks as 508 00:22:38,573 --> 00:22:42,052 Speaker 2: the seventy seventh most congested city globally, oh and the 509 00:22:42,053 --> 00:22:44,373 Speaker 2: most congested in New Zealand or Australia out of five 510 00:22:44,453 --> 00:22:47,253 Speaker 2: hundred cities. We're way down the two countries, a long 511 00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,413 Speaker 2: way down the list. Also, I mean a lot of 512 00:22:49,453 --> 00:22:52,933 Speaker 2: our congestion problems as our geography. We have a very 513 00:22:52,973 --> 00:22:55,933 Speaker 2: strange geography. We're on a very strange isthmus. 514 00:22:55,973 --> 00:22:58,533 Speaker 3: Skinny, skinny, weet, skinny lot of people. 515 00:22:58,333 --> 00:23:02,373 Speaker 2: Skinny, little situation with a few arteries coming in and 516 00:23:02,493 --> 00:23:05,213 Speaker 2: not really practical for setting up the kind of mass 517 00:23:05,213 --> 00:23:09,733 Speaker 2: public transport that would get people out of cars. Part 518 00:23:09,733 --> 00:23:12,133 Speaker 2: of me thinks that, and people will say this is 519 00:23:12,253 --> 00:23:15,173 Speaker 2: naive or stupid or whatever, and I love it. I 520 00:23:15,213 --> 00:23:16,572 Speaker 2: love it when you say that in nine two nine 521 00:23:16,613 --> 00:23:19,733 Speaker 2: two hit me hard. But I've just been watching a 522 00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:22,933 Speaker 2: lot on the latest advancements and autonomous vehicles, and I 523 00:23:22,933 --> 00:23:24,733 Speaker 2: think a lot of these decisions we make, and looking 524 00:23:24,733 --> 00:23:26,733 Speaker 2: back at the city rail link might be one of 525 00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:30,853 Speaker 2: those situations as well, where things are changing so fast. Technologically, 526 00:23:31,053 --> 00:23:34,052 Speaker 2: We've got AI that's evening out all of these problems 527 00:23:34,053 --> 00:23:38,373 Speaker 2: that we have and computing it a far increase rate 528 00:23:38,413 --> 00:23:41,373 Speaker 2: than we've ever had. I think we're not long from 529 00:23:41,373 --> 00:23:45,373 Speaker 2: a situation where cars will be autonomous, so far from 530 00:23:45,613 --> 00:23:48,893 Speaker 2: losing production. In productivity when you go to work. It's 531 00:23:49,133 --> 00:23:51,413 Speaker 2: much like when I worked in out of town in 532 00:23:51,413 --> 00:23:53,653 Speaker 2: the UK and I'd get work done on the train 533 00:23:53,693 --> 00:23:55,613 Speaker 2: on the way to work because you had Wi Fi 534 00:23:55,653 --> 00:23:57,133 Speaker 2: in there and you just jump onto it your table. 535 00:23:57,333 --> 00:24:00,013 Speaker 2: I think things are going to change really, really drastically 536 00:24:00,053 --> 00:24:01,573 Speaker 2: in the next five to ten years. 537 00:24:02,053 --> 00:24:03,853 Speaker 3: Well, we're already see it happening in some parts of 538 00:24:03,853 --> 00:24:06,853 Speaker 3: the world, right. And then if you've got autonomous vehicles 539 00:24:06,973 --> 00:24:09,893 Speaker 3: that are perfect in the world that they drive, that lessens 540 00:24:09,933 --> 00:24:11,893 Speaker 3: congestion substantially. Absolutely. 541 00:24:11,893 --> 00:24:14,293 Speaker 2: The modeling done, oh, you see the modeling where every 542 00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:18,733 Speaker 2: car goes through intersection and they just merge through each other, 543 00:24:18,773 --> 00:24:21,293 Speaker 2: so no one ever has to stop that stuff. That 544 00:24:21,373 --> 00:24:24,813 Speaker 2: modeling is very, very very cool, But that's the future. 545 00:24:24,853 --> 00:24:25,733 Speaker 6: I visit. 546 00:24:26,053 --> 00:24:27,933 Speaker 2: You're sitting in your car, You'll get rid of the cockpit. 547 00:24:27,973 --> 00:24:29,532 Speaker 2: You'll be sitting on a table in the back of 548 00:24:29,533 --> 00:24:31,853 Speaker 2: your car. You'll be driving in getting your work done 549 00:24:31,933 --> 00:24:34,533 Speaker 2: before you get there. Quicken it before work. Yeah, yeah, 550 00:24:34,533 --> 00:24:36,333 Speaker 2: maybe sleep in the car as it goes in, you know, 551 00:24:36,413 --> 00:24:38,013 Speaker 2: get out of bed early, sleep in the car the 552 00:24:38,093 --> 00:24:40,293 Speaker 2: night before, do some work on the way to work, 553 00:24:40,333 --> 00:24:42,893 Speaker 2: get out, go to work, go to the pub and 554 00:24:42,933 --> 00:24:44,613 Speaker 2: then have a few drinks in the car on the 555 00:24:44,653 --> 00:24:44,973 Speaker 2: way home. 556 00:24:45,053 --> 00:24:45,213 Speaker 15: Yeah. 557 00:24:45,253 --> 00:24:47,733 Speaker 3: Bring it on, it's out of there are utopia, Hey guys, 558 00:24:47,733 --> 00:24:49,933 Speaker 3: Based on the Totonga Guide, I think I was going 559 00:24:49,973 --> 00:24:51,933 Speaker 3: to be paying about twenty dollars a day if I 560 00:24:51,973 --> 00:24:54,453 Speaker 3: got my timing's wrong or need to go to a 561 00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:55,733 Speaker 3: supply before I get to work. 562 00:24:55,733 --> 00:24:56,613 Speaker 2: One hundred dollars a week. 563 00:24:56,653 --> 00:24:59,853 Speaker 3: That's from later times a week is crazy. 564 00:25:00,013 --> 00:25:03,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, need to scale back this traffic management, save money. 565 00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:06,813 Speaker 2: They are wasting it. They been twice as many, They 566 00:25:06,813 --> 00:25:09,773 Speaker 2: send twice as many people as they needed, and they 567 00:25:09,813 --> 00:25:12,413 Speaker 2: sit there and sleep until somebody finishes doing what their 568 00:25:12,493 --> 00:25:16,173 Speaker 2: job is, get paid all day, but put out too 569 00:25:16,173 --> 00:25:18,813 Speaker 2: many cones. You know that that what that where? You 570 00:25:18,853 --> 00:25:20,773 Speaker 2: know what they mean by that text. It's going off 571 00:25:20,773 --> 00:25:24,053 Speaker 2: the rails there. We get your point, get your point there. 572 00:25:24,293 --> 00:25:28,293 Speaker 2: If they were more if they were more practical with 573 00:25:28,373 --> 00:25:30,933 Speaker 2: the situation that they've currently got, maybe they wouldn't have 574 00:25:31,053 --> 00:25:33,453 Speaker 2: to punish US citizens. 575 00:25:32,933 --> 00:25:37,053 Speaker 3: By with the congestion at the workers sitting on the space. Michelle, 576 00:25:37,093 --> 00:25:39,133 Speaker 3: your thoughts and you're coming in from Totonga. 577 00:25:40,253 --> 00:25:42,653 Speaker 16: Yeah, I live just north of Chada, in a place 578 00:25:42,693 --> 00:25:46,613 Speaker 16: called Bohoya, which is about fifteen k's north. Now, we've 579 00:25:46,653 --> 00:25:49,853 Speaker 16: had to put up with the worst road congestion for 580 00:25:50,173 --> 00:25:56,293 Speaker 16: years since Omkara Peninsula has been developed. Yep, m z Ta, 581 00:25:56,333 --> 00:25:59,093 Speaker 16: I'm sorry to say for this corridor from here to 582 00:25:59,133 --> 00:26:03,413 Speaker 16: why he should be sacked. They have made our road 583 00:26:03,973 --> 00:26:07,413 Speaker 16: so much more dangerous. It's not even funny. They don't 584 00:26:07,453 --> 00:26:10,413 Speaker 16: consult with constituents. They seem to just think they're a 585 00:26:10,493 --> 00:26:13,693 Speaker 16: power into themselves. And the worst parts in what I 586 00:26:13,773 --> 00:26:16,493 Speaker 16: can assertain is the NPS can't do to the least 587 00:26:16,493 --> 00:26:18,573 Speaker 16: squat once they've made these decisions. 588 00:26:19,133 --> 00:26:21,413 Speaker 17: M and so just congestion. 589 00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:22,453 Speaker 3: Sorry, carry on. 590 00:26:22,493 --> 00:26:28,853 Speaker 16: Yet the congestion charge to me is bad management of 591 00:26:29,053 --> 00:26:32,733 Speaker 16: the NZTA agency and they need to be accountable. 592 00:26:33,133 --> 00:26:35,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it seems like. It seems like an 593 00:26:35,013 --> 00:26:38,493 Speaker 2: admission of failure. If you are having to charge people 594 00:26:39,293 --> 00:26:41,533 Speaker 2: to use roads that have already been built, then you've 595 00:26:41,853 --> 00:26:43,973 Speaker 2: made a mistake in the past, and then so you're 596 00:26:43,973 --> 00:26:48,373 Speaker 2: punishing people for the mistake to correct your mistake by 597 00:26:48,453 --> 00:26:50,973 Speaker 2: charging them, so then you will spend that money on 598 00:26:51,093 --> 00:26:53,293 Speaker 2: fixing their mistake. That's that's why it looks to me. 599 00:26:53,733 --> 00:26:56,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's also Michelle, there's a little bit of 600 00:26:56,493 --> 00:26:59,533 Speaker 3: you know, the fact that local council has this ability 601 00:26:59,973 --> 00:27:02,853 Speaker 3: to pay for their own infrastructure outside of the state highways. 602 00:27:02,973 --> 00:27:07,373 Speaker 3: Then nz NCTA comes into the equation and local council 603 00:27:07,413 --> 00:27:10,213 Speaker 3: has to fund public trends. It's all just messy. I 604 00:27:10,213 --> 00:27:13,013 Speaker 3: mean that should all all infrastructure when it comes to 605 00:27:13,093 --> 00:27:16,133 Speaker 3: roading and transport, that should be done by one organization, 606 00:27:16,453 --> 00:27:18,773 Speaker 3: not multiple organizations that are thinking differently. 607 00:27:20,413 --> 00:27:24,333 Speaker 16: Yeah, I agree. I mean the right Road No Right 608 00:27:24,493 --> 00:27:29,533 Speaker 16: Turn Debarkle where we had a select Rochelle. 609 00:27:29,133 --> 00:27:31,973 Speaker 12: Who's been doing a great job and trying. 610 00:27:31,693 --> 00:27:34,893 Speaker 16: To get the decision reversed where they had a select committee. 611 00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:39,253 Speaker 16: She'd an NZTA representative who advised us she was in 612 00:27:39,373 --> 00:27:42,333 Speaker 16: charge of all the state highways and couldn't answer one 613 00:27:42,413 --> 00:27:46,573 Speaker 16: question although she'd had a submission for six weeks to review. 614 00:27:48,093 --> 00:27:50,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, that is for you, full a lot of confidence. Well, 615 00:27:50,613 --> 00:27:53,533 Speaker 2: sorry about your experience there, Michelle. Sounds like a massive 616 00:27:53,613 --> 00:27:56,693 Speaker 2: punish Matt and whatever the other guy's name is and 617 00:27:56,773 --> 00:28:01,373 Speaker 2: other texasp Mike, you're getting better on when we're going 618 00:28:01,413 --> 00:28:03,173 Speaker 2: to when are we going to hear some of these 619 00:28:03,293 --> 00:28:07,173 Speaker 2: leaders say, we the government Council, we the government slash 620 00:28:07,213 --> 00:28:10,093 Speaker 2: council have screwed up for years. We're scrapping the highest salaries, 621 00:28:10,133 --> 00:28:12,813 Speaker 2: commission taking an arbitrary twenty five percent pay up across 622 00:28:12,853 --> 00:28:17,133 Speaker 2: the board. I think there'd be a while before before 623 00:28:17,173 --> 00:28:21,453 Speaker 2: you hear that. Yeah, pulled your thoughts on congestion charges. 624 00:28:23,893 --> 00:28:25,453 Speaker 18: Yeah, be about three or four weeks. 625 00:28:25,733 --> 00:28:28,173 Speaker 19: Anything else drop of my plate. 626 00:28:29,493 --> 00:28:32,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I was quite today, mate, We were 627 00:28:32,053 --> 00:28:33,413 Speaker 3: quite fascinated with that conversation. 628 00:28:33,453 --> 00:28:34,773 Speaker 2: But what were you doing there? Pool? Was it a 629 00:28:34,853 --> 00:28:37,173 Speaker 2: drive through? You're ordering some chicken? What was going on there? 630 00:28:37,813 --> 00:28:42,053 Speaker 18: No, we were we were going to the cargo with 631 00:28:42,133 --> 00:28:46,093 Speaker 18: the prince to get a prescription. And we pulled up 632 00:28:46,133 --> 00:28:50,653 Speaker 18: at the at the parking meter to get a you know, 633 00:28:50,773 --> 00:28:53,653 Speaker 18: you only been about five minutes to get a air prescription. 634 00:28:54,093 --> 00:28:56,973 Speaker 18: And this group meater made chila and then cargo couple 635 00:28:56,933 --> 00:29:00,373 Speaker 18: off took a number plate. Oh and then she blimbered, 636 00:29:00,413 --> 00:29:02,653 Speaker 18: Sea Rod, I'll give you ten minutes if you're not out. 637 00:29:02,693 --> 00:29:04,013 Speaker 18: It's a seventy dollars fight. 638 00:29:04,173 --> 00:29:07,333 Speaker 3: Wow, drama. Wow, that was far more than I was expecting. 639 00:29:08,693 --> 00:29:08,893 Speaker 5: Oh. 640 00:29:09,133 --> 00:29:11,253 Speaker 18: Then she said, you've got to tip your number in 641 00:29:11,373 --> 00:29:13,853 Speaker 18: these stupid new machines they got down the end. I'm 642 00:29:13,853 --> 00:29:17,373 Speaker 18: wonder people don't shop and see the city. You know, 643 00:29:17,653 --> 00:29:20,053 Speaker 18: it's just too expensive. Did you get time? 644 00:29:20,493 --> 00:29:21,373 Speaker 3: Yeah? 645 00:29:21,413 --> 00:29:25,933 Speaker 2: Well, and so you're in the for cargo Paul and window. 646 00:29:25,853 --> 00:29:27,013 Speaker 3: Oh wondo, good place. 647 00:29:27,093 --> 00:29:32,053 Speaker 2: So congestion charges. Congestion charges wouldn't be high on your 648 00:29:32,133 --> 00:29:33,093 Speaker 2: radar of concerns. 649 00:29:34,213 --> 00:29:37,453 Speaker 18: No, not down here. But I traveled Auckland frequently, so 650 00:29:37,533 --> 00:29:39,573 Speaker 18: I sort of know what you're talking about it. 651 00:29:39,653 --> 00:29:41,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what are your what are your thoughts? 652 00:29:43,293 --> 00:29:46,573 Speaker 18: Oh, it's shocking, you know, I'd hate to be in 653 00:29:46,693 --> 00:29:50,653 Speaker 18: business nowadays. You know, it's just it's not fear, it's 654 00:29:50,693 --> 00:29:54,093 Speaker 18: getting worse too, because if I eventhing online, that's my theory. 655 00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:55,373 Speaker 11: Yeah, they want to get. 656 00:29:55,333 --> 00:29:57,613 Speaker 18: Rid of the shops and put everything on the internet. 657 00:29:57,973 --> 00:30:01,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Paul. That's another angle to it. So if 658 00:30:01,493 --> 00:30:03,853 Speaker 2: you're stopping people coming into the you know, you're punishing 659 00:30:03,893 --> 00:30:06,773 Speaker 2: people for driving into town to go to work, which 660 00:30:06,813 --> 00:30:09,893 Speaker 2: is basically what you're doing, and making people go in 661 00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:11,613 Speaker 2: at different times whatever. But when if they're trying to 662 00:30:11,613 --> 00:30:14,613 Speaker 2: avoid the congestion charge, if they can, then that just 663 00:30:14,613 --> 00:30:18,613 Speaker 2: stops people shopping in town, picking things up, and it 664 00:30:18,853 --> 00:30:22,933 Speaker 2: just more and more business, retail business goes online, which 665 00:30:22,973 --> 00:30:25,893 Speaker 2: is currently a big problem for New Zealand. How quickly 666 00:30:25,933 --> 00:30:29,693 Speaker 2: things are shifting away from buying things off New Zealand 667 00:30:29,693 --> 00:30:32,613 Speaker 2: businesses and buying them from overseas businesses and just importing 668 00:30:32,693 --> 00:30:35,613 Speaker 2: them straight from the TMU and the like. So it 669 00:30:35,773 --> 00:30:40,773 Speaker 2: just all adds up to punishing businesses that employ people, 670 00:30:40,893 --> 00:30:45,213 Speaker 2: and punishing businesses that build things, and punishing and preventing 671 00:30:45,213 --> 00:30:49,373 Speaker 2: communities from growing in CBDs and and all these things 672 00:30:49,373 --> 00:30:53,013 Speaker 2: that we believe are good and all the reasons why 673 00:30:53,093 --> 00:30:55,773 Speaker 2: cities actually exist in the first place. I just get 674 00:30:55,853 --> 00:30:58,533 Speaker 2: punished by things like congestion charges and people say, oh, 675 00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:01,693 Speaker 2: it'll be more efficient to get freight around and such, 676 00:31:01,733 --> 00:31:03,133 Speaker 2: we all the freight that it will be more efficient 677 00:31:03,133 --> 00:31:05,853 Speaker 2: to get around? Will people getting t MoU products delivered 678 00:31:05,853 --> 00:31:07,013 Speaker 2: to their house in the suburbs? 679 00:31:07,133 --> 00:31:11,253 Speaker 3: Exactly? I mean interesting test case and Nelson where Nelson 680 00:31:11,373 --> 00:31:15,493 Speaker 3: CBD has struggled considerably. Where Richmond, which is about ten 681 00:31:15,533 --> 00:31:18,613 Speaker 3: minutes fifteen minutes outside of Nelson, but Richmond offered free 682 00:31:18,653 --> 00:31:22,213 Speaker 3: parking and Nelson refused to offer the free parking. And 683 00:31:22,213 --> 00:31:25,013 Speaker 3: what do you think happened? Richmond now is the shopping 684 00:31:25,053 --> 00:31:25,973 Speaker 3: mecher for most people. 685 00:31:26,053 --> 00:31:30,293 Speaker 2: Nelson sucked the Nelson there. Hey, Paul, I think do 686 00:31:30,333 --> 00:31:32,093 Speaker 2: we need to let you go see before you get 687 00:31:32,093 --> 00:31:33,733 Speaker 2: the ticket? Because how long did you give you? 688 00:31:34,853 --> 00:31:34,893 Speaker 9: No? 689 00:31:35,053 --> 00:31:38,053 Speaker 18: I but would she give me two bitues? 690 00:31:38,053 --> 00:31:42,053 Speaker 3: But yeah, all right, you're pushing seven minutes with us now, Paul, 691 00:31:42,173 --> 00:31:42,853 Speaker 3: So yeah. 692 00:31:42,653 --> 00:31:46,213 Speaker 2: We've better let you go. Yeah, right, mate, We don't 693 00:31:46,213 --> 00:31:48,453 Speaker 2: want you to get a ticket on our on our account. 694 00:31:48,693 --> 00:31:50,293 Speaker 3: You're a good man. Paul. Oh eight one hundred and 695 00:31:50,293 --> 00:31:52,853 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. How do you feel about congestion charging? 696 00:31:52,933 --> 00:31:56,613 Speaker 3: Silly idea or does it have merit? It is sixteen 697 00:31:56,653 --> 00:31:57,253 Speaker 3: too two? 698 00:31:57,693 --> 00:32:00,493 Speaker 2: Someone says Matt and Franciscas just stop winging and moved 699 00:32:00,533 --> 00:32:03,053 Speaker 2: to a smaller town. Is it Francisca? 700 00:32:03,093 --> 00:32:03,373 Speaker 1: What is it? 701 00:32:04,013 --> 00:32:04,213 Speaker 6: Is it? 702 00:32:04,293 --> 00:32:04,693 Speaker 2: Taylor? 703 00:32:05,373 --> 00:32:05,973 Speaker 3: What is it? 704 00:32:06,053 --> 00:32:06,893 Speaker 2: Tyler? I don't know. 705 00:32:06,973 --> 00:32:11,653 Speaker 1: Jeremy Wells a fresh take on Talkback. It's Matt Heath 706 00:32:11,693 --> 00:32:15,253 Speaker 1: and Taylor Adams Afternoons. Have your say on eight hundred 707 00:32:15,373 --> 00:32:17,173 Speaker 1: eighty ten eighty News TALKSB. 708 00:32:18,173 --> 00:32:21,533 Speaker 3: News TALKSB. We've been talking about congestion charging. Good idea 709 00:32:21,653 --> 00:32:22,893 Speaker 3: or bad idea? 710 00:32:23,093 --> 00:32:26,653 Speaker 2: Hey, Tyler and whoever that punisher is that you work with? Yes, 711 00:32:26,973 --> 00:32:29,813 Speaker 2: I missed what number Auckland was on the congestion scale. Well, 712 00:32:29,813 --> 00:32:33,253 Speaker 2: I don't know who Tyler is, but we are in Auckland, 713 00:32:33,533 --> 00:32:37,373 Speaker 2: seventy seventh most congested city in the world, based on 714 00:32:37,413 --> 00:32:39,733 Speaker 2: probably some kind of dodgy metric. I mean that, That's 715 00:32:39,773 --> 00:32:42,213 Speaker 2: my whole point with all these things like what about 716 00:32:42,213 --> 00:32:47,453 Speaker 2: this in this In Wayne Brown's you know, lust for 717 00:32:47,653 --> 00:32:51,453 Speaker 2: a congestion charge in Auckland, the average Auklander had expected 718 00:32:51,453 --> 00:32:53,893 Speaker 2: to lose more than seventeen hours per year to traffic 719 00:32:54,213 --> 00:32:57,813 Speaker 2: totally in twenty nine million hours city wide, it's not 720 00:32:57,893 --> 00:32:59,293 Speaker 2: much seventeen hours to traffic. 721 00:32:59,293 --> 00:33:01,853 Speaker 3: And again, I mean there is an argument there that 722 00:33:01,853 --> 00:33:02,213 Speaker 3: that's all. 723 00:33:02,253 --> 00:33:04,093 Speaker 2: We must have got that one wrong. Yeah, and I'm 724 00:33:04,093 --> 00:33:06,213 Speaker 2: sure people are losing more than seventeen hours. It means 725 00:33:06,293 --> 00:33:09,173 Speaker 2: what you define as losing time and traffic. So that's 726 00:33:09,373 --> 00:33:12,333 Speaker 2: how much faster it would be under a conducing charge 727 00:33:12,333 --> 00:33:12,853 Speaker 2: of it, guess. 728 00:33:12,853 --> 00:33:14,813 Speaker 3: But you could argue that that is part and parcel 729 00:33:14,853 --> 00:33:16,773 Speaker 3: of being in a sizable city. In Auckland is a 730 00:33:16,813 --> 00:33:19,493 Speaker 3: sizable city. You know, in terms of the population that 731 00:33:19,573 --> 00:33:23,813 Speaker 3: you should expect to have some sort of congestion some 732 00:33:23,973 --> 00:33:26,013 Speaker 3: time and traffic to get from A to B. That 733 00:33:26,173 --> 00:33:29,133 Speaker 3: is just part and parcel across the world. No city 734 00:33:29,133 --> 00:33:29,893 Speaker 3: has figured it out. 735 00:33:30,013 --> 00:33:31,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I call into question that time in your 736 00:33:31,813 --> 00:33:34,373 Speaker 2: car is not productive. I call bollocks. People can be 737 00:33:34,413 --> 00:33:34,933 Speaker 2: productive in. 738 00:33:34,933 --> 00:33:35,613 Speaker 3: Cars, definitely. 739 00:33:35,693 --> 00:33:37,973 Speaker 2: They can make calls, Yep, they can think about the 740 00:33:38,053 --> 00:33:40,493 Speaker 2: day ahead. I'm always thinking about the day ahead when 741 00:33:40,493 --> 00:33:43,053 Speaker 2: I'm driving into work. That's when I put everything into place. 742 00:33:43,093 --> 00:33:44,133 Speaker 3: That's your thinking time. 743 00:33:44,573 --> 00:33:46,133 Speaker 2: A little bit about that. I was thinking a little 744 00:33:46,133 --> 00:33:49,413 Speaker 2: bit about that, a lot about sport. The analysis. I 745 00:33:49,493 --> 00:33:51,893 Speaker 2: think it's a shallow look at how people live their lives, 746 00:33:51,933 --> 00:33:53,853 Speaker 2: and you can come up with these strategies saying this 747 00:33:54,093 --> 00:33:57,413 Speaker 2: is productivity. But there's also in my own belief that 748 00:33:57,453 --> 00:33:58,973 Speaker 2: there's only so many hours in a day that a 749 00:33:58,973 --> 00:34:02,853 Speaker 2: lot of people are productive. Say you're working in an office, 750 00:34:03,093 --> 00:34:05,533 Speaker 2: there's only so many hours that you're actually productive. And 751 00:34:05,573 --> 00:34:07,093 Speaker 2: if you're in the car, maybe you're doing some of 752 00:34:07,133 --> 00:34:09,252 Speaker 2: the thinking, maybe you're not. We only get four hours. 753 00:34:09,853 --> 00:34:13,533 Speaker 2: I think that that that straight raw numbers as rubbish, 754 00:34:13,773 --> 00:34:17,093 Speaker 2: and what you actually do is the really productive people 755 00:34:17,133 --> 00:34:20,893 Speaker 2: that you can define how productive they are. Tradings and such. Yeah, 756 00:34:21,053 --> 00:34:23,413 Speaker 2: are going to be screwed by this because they have 757 00:34:23,413 --> 00:34:25,253 Speaker 2: to pay to do it. You know, they have to 758 00:34:25,293 --> 00:34:27,693 Speaker 2: pay to go in and then saying we'll get you 759 00:34:27,813 --> 00:34:28,893 Speaker 2: quicker rubbish. 760 00:34:28,893 --> 00:34:30,533 Speaker 3: It's going to cost us all. If trade is a pain, 761 00:34:30,573 --> 00:34:32,773 Speaker 3: then we've got to pay those trading condition charges at 762 00:34:32,813 --> 00:34:33,053 Speaker 3: the end. 763 00:34:33,173 --> 00:34:37,053 Speaker 2: But Chris, I think you disagree with us, I do good. 764 00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:38,093 Speaker 3: Hit us with it. 765 00:34:38,373 --> 00:34:41,133 Speaker 19: Yeah, bring it on, bring on the condition charge. 766 00:34:41,533 --> 00:34:41,732 Speaker 2: Yeah. 767 00:34:41,853 --> 00:34:42,212 Speaker 12: I live. 768 00:34:42,333 --> 00:34:45,053 Speaker 19: I live north of Auckland then Rodney, so you know 769 00:34:45,213 --> 00:34:49,212 Speaker 19: our rate. We pay an exorbit amount of rates and 770 00:34:49,493 --> 00:34:51,453 Speaker 19: I get a recycling bent and a bit of gravel 771 00:34:51,493 --> 00:34:53,772 Speaker 19: truck on my road a couple of times a year 772 00:34:53,853 --> 00:34:57,213 Speaker 19: and that's it. So if it means getting our roads 773 00:34:57,493 --> 00:35:00,093 Speaker 19: tidied up a bit better, or maybe even getting them sealed. 774 00:35:00,293 --> 00:35:00,493 Speaker 12: Yeah. 775 00:35:01,893 --> 00:35:03,573 Speaker 2: Well, I would say Chris, that that's more of a 776 00:35:03,613 --> 00:35:07,053 Speaker 2: split Rodney from Auckland situation. I don't think Rodney should 777 00:35:07,053 --> 00:35:08,732 Speaker 2: have ever been part of the super city thing. That's 778 00:35:08,733 --> 00:35:09,573 Speaker 2: your problem right there. 779 00:35:11,853 --> 00:35:13,213 Speaker 19: Yeah, that's that's a whole lot. 780 00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:17,133 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a bit of a could have should 781 00:35:17,493 --> 00:35:20,253 Speaker 2: such such a situation. But I absolutely agree with you 782 00:35:20,493 --> 00:35:23,053 Speaker 2: the needs of Rodney are very, very different from the 783 00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:26,853 Speaker 2: needs of the inner suburbs of Auckland City. 784 00:35:26,933 --> 00:35:30,413 Speaker 19: Yeah yeah, pretty muche Well what. 785 00:35:30,413 --> 00:35:33,172 Speaker 3: About what about toll roads over congestion charge? And as 786 00:35:33,213 --> 00:35:35,413 Speaker 3: I said before, Chris, the thing I don't like about 787 00:35:35,453 --> 00:35:37,933 Speaker 3: congestion charge, it just focused on one particular or to 788 00:35:38,493 --> 00:35:39,133 Speaker 3: times of the day. 789 00:35:39,213 --> 00:35:42,053 Speaker 2: Well, Chris will be hitting some some tolls coming into Auckland, 790 00:35:42,093 --> 00:35:42,933 Speaker 2: won't you, Chris. 791 00:35:43,733 --> 00:35:45,933 Speaker 19: Yeah, we've got the one. I think they're talking about 792 00:35:45,933 --> 00:35:48,693 Speaker 19: bringing another one in when they build a motorway extension. 793 00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:51,812 Speaker 19: So you know, I mean, toll roads are good because 794 00:35:51,813 --> 00:35:55,373 Speaker 19: they stay fuel and they do save time as well, 795 00:35:56,293 --> 00:35:59,213 Speaker 19: and they're there all the time, so you know, you're 796 00:35:59,213 --> 00:36:01,853 Speaker 19: stuck with it, and it brings in your infrastructure, which 797 00:36:01,933 --> 00:36:06,333 Speaker 19: is great. Yeah, the congestion charge is again a targeted 798 00:36:07,493 --> 00:36:12,613 Speaker 19: charge and you can avoid it well at different times. 799 00:36:12,933 --> 00:36:15,293 Speaker 2: Well, some people can avoid it, some some people can't. 800 00:36:15,493 --> 00:36:18,493 Speaker 2: And arguably if people do avoid it and things get 801 00:36:18,493 --> 00:36:21,973 Speaker 2: missed up and move around, then it's the little businesses 802 00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:23,933 Speaker 2: in town that pay the price. But hey, thank you 803 00:36:23,973 --> 00:36:27,733 Speaker 2: so much for your call, Chris, and yeah, split Rodney 804 00:36:27,733 --> 00:36:30,573 Speaker 2: from the super city. Split Rodney from the super city. 805 00:36:30,693 --> 00:36:32,573 Speaker 3: Yea back of the It is nine to two. 806 00:36:34,333 --> 00:36:39,013 Speaker 1: Matd Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on eighty. It's 807 00:36:39,093 --> 00:36:42,293 Speaker 1: mad Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons news talks be. 808 00:36:45,093 --> 00:36:48,453 Speaker 3: So joining us now is Nick legged Infrastructure Ends' CEO neck. 809 00:36:48,533 --> 00:36:51,093 Speaker 3: We've only got a short time, but you're in favor. 810 00:36:52,253 --> 00:36:55,813 Speaker 2: Give us, give us the quick seal on these disgusting conjuctions. 811 00:36:56,653 --> 00:36:59,293 Speaker 14: Just to throw it into the mix lot. New Zealand 812 00:36:59,533 --> 00:37:02,013 Speaker 14: is not a wash with great infrastructure, right, and we're 813 00:37:02,093 --> 00:37:04,732 Speaker 14: not a wash with the cash to pay for you infrastructure. 814 00:37:05,333 --> 00:37:08,133 Speaker 14: The best and most equitable way to build new stuff 815 00:37:08,173 --> 00:37:11,733 Speaker 14: and maintain the roads that we already have is to 816 00:37:11,893 --> 00:37:15,652 Speaker 14: charge users a little bit to and put that back 817 00:37:15,693 --> 00:37:18,493 Speaker 14: into the system, right, we need to improve the quality 818 00:37:18,573 --> 00:37:21,973 Speaker 14: so cars and people can move faster. And also we've 819 00:37:21,973 --> 00:37:24,413 Speaker 14: also got to have better public transport. And so creating 820 00:37:24,853 --> 00:37:28,013 Speaker 14: revenue to pay for stuff is the thing that congestion 821 00:37:28,133 --> 00:37:31,333 Speaker 14: charging will do. And yet it checks behavior, it charges 822 00:37:31,373 --> 00:37:33,533 Speaker 14: the real cost. Because there is this view in New Zealand. 823 00:37:33,573 --> 00:37:35,733 Speaker 14: You know, we're very open and you know, and we 824 00:37:35,733 --> 00:37:39,253 Speaker 14: can move around. There's a view that everything's kind of free, 825 00:37:39,613 --> 00:37:40,213 Speaker 14: and it's not. 826 00:37:40,533 --> 00:37:42,652 Speaker 2: Well, in a minute, were already you don't think we're 827 00:37:42,693 --> 00:37:43,493 Speaker 2: being text enough. 828 00:37:44,653 --> 00:37:46,813 Speaker 14: Well, it's not about this is a charge not a tax. 829 00:37:46,893 --> 00:37:48,613 Speaker 2: Well what's the difference. But if you're still taking money 830 00:37:48,613 --> 00:37:50,413 Speaker 2: out of people's product pockets our taxes. 831 00:37:50,733 --> 00:37:52,973 Speaker 14: Yeah, but we've got what we New Zealanders have high 832 00:37:53,013 --> 00:37:56,773 Speaker 14: expectations for services. We've got high expectations that things work 833 00:37:56,813 --> 00:37:59,773 Speaker 14: when we want them to, and that costs money. So 834 00:38:00,493 --> 00:38:04,333 Speaker 14: we're slipping behind in terms of our economic growth, in 835 00:38:04,373 --> 00:38:07,773 Speaker 14: our productivity. We know that we've got to have really 836 00:38:07,813 --> 00:38:11,013 Speaker 14: good transport, we've got to have really good infrastructure, and 837 00:38:11,053 --> 00:38:13,253 Speaker 14: that costs money. So if we want to be a 838 00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:16,493 Speaker 14: highly productive, wealthy country and stay at the top, we 839 00:38:16,613 --> 00:38:17,413 Speaker 14: have to invest some of it. 840 00:38:17,573 --> 00:38:19,773 Speaker 2: Isn't it just punching the same people in the face 841 00:38:19,893 --> 00:38:22,453 Speaker 2: over and over again financially. So you've got the productive 842 00:38:22,453 --> 00:38:24,093 Speaker 2: people that want to drive to work and do a 843 00:38:24,173 --> 00:38:26,413 Speaker 2: job and pay their taxes, and they always seem to 844 00:38:26,413 --> 00:38:30,013 Speaker 2: the people that have to put their you know, open 845 00:38:30,093 --> 00:38:32,693 Speaker 2: up their wallets to help out the situation. 846 00:38:32,813 --> 00:38:34,533 Speaker 14: Who would you be charging? Who would you be if 847 00:38:34,533 --> 00:38:37,013 Speaker 14: you're not charging the people that use things? Who would 848 00:38:37,053 --> 00:38:38,813 Speaker 14: you be charging? I mean, would you be charging to 849 00:38:38,933 --> 00:38:39,813 Speaker 14: need and tax payer? 850 00:38:39,973 --> 00:38:43,333 Speaker 2: Well, I would say, I would say the argument. I'd 851 00:38:43,373 --> 00:38:44,893 Speaker 2: say the argument It gets to the point where it's 852 00:38:44,973 --> 00:38:47,813 Speaker 2: unfair because you keep charging the same people and when 853 00:38:47,893 --> 00:38:50,133 Speaker 2: you say who do you charge? Or you can't just 854 00:38:50,253 --> 00:38:52,773 Speaker 2: keep charging people and charging people and charging people for 855 00:38:52,813 --> 00:38:54,693 Speaker 2: what we what you want to do in the country. 856 00:38:55,173 --> 00:38:57,613 Speaker 14: At the moment, we're not charging them. People have pretty 857 00:38:57,653 --> 00:39:00,252 Speaker 14: I mean, there are only three toll roads in the country. 858 00:38:59,893 --> 00:39:02,653 Speaker 2: And we are charging them tax. So we do charge 859 00:39:02,693 --> 00:39:05,853 Speaker 2: petrol tax on our petrol. We charge on a lot 860 00:39:05,853 --> 00:39:08,613 Speaker 2: of things. So we are charging people at the moment. 861 00:39:08,893 --> 00:39:11,253 Speaker 14: And we don't have enough money in the system to 862 00:39:11,293 --> 00:39:14,493 Speaker 14: pay for what we need. I think that charging the 863 00:39:14,533 --> 00:39:16,413 Speaker 14: fairest way of doing it is to charge people a 864 00:39:16,413 --> 00:39:17,573 Speaker 14: bit more who use things. 865 00:39:17,853 --> 00:39:19,933 Speaker 2: Okay, well, thanks so much, thank you. We have to 866 00:39:20,013 --> 00:39:20,333 Speaker 2: let you go. 867 00:39:20,413 --> 00:39:22,093 Speaker 3: So there was a bit tight, Nick.

But he is 900 00:40:28,733 --> 00:40:31,653 Speaker 3: keen as muster to come in studio in the near future. 901 00:40:31,693 --> 00:40:34,413 Speaker 3: This isn't a conversation that's going to go away anytime soon, 902 00:40:34,453 --> 00:40:36,093 Speaker 3: so we might open it up to the floor as well, 903 00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:39,133 Speaker 3: aka you our dear listeners.

A lot 912 00:41:03,453 --> 00:41:06,373 Speaker 3: of these people say that they are using this service 913 00:41:06,453 --> 00:41:10,653 Speaker 3: because a lot of these trips are for life events, marriages, 914 00:41:11,093 --> 00:41:12,813 Speaker 3: last minute holidays to Japan. 915 00:41:13,373 --> 00:41:15,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, what I want to talk about here is 916 00:41:15,533 --> 00:41:18,013 Speaker 2: bank holidays. A friend of mine came up with the 917 00:41:18,053 --> 00:41:19,973 Speaker 2: saying the other day because he was talking to a 918 00:41:20,013 --> 00:41:22,812 Speaker 2: huge amount of friends that were going had plans trip 919 00:41:22,853 --> 00:41:26,253 Speaker 2: to the Islands, European trips, people going to Japan, and 920 00:41:26,293 --> 00:41:28,172 Speaker 2: then when you ask them how you go, how can 921 00:41:28,213 --> 00:41:29,613 Speaker 2: you afford that?

Sure, but you're 927 00:41:45,373 --> 00:41:47,013 Speaker 2: going to have to pay that back. So is that 928 00:41:47,093 --> 00:41:49,652 Speaker 2: just selling out your future self for you for right 929 00:41:49,693 --> 00:41:51,773 Speaker 2: now or should you do the old school way? So 930 00:41:51,813 --> 00:41:54,053 Speaker 2: me and my partner, we're going on a holiday overseas 931 00:41:54,333 --> 00:41:55,293 Speaker 2: in a couple of years. 932 00:41:55,413 --> 00:41:55,693 Speaker 3: Yep. 933 00:41:56,253 --> 00:41:57,853 Speaker 2: Do you know what we're doing, tyler? Do you know 934 00:41:57,853 --> 00:42:00,933 Speaker 2: what we're doing? Dear listeners, You've got a wee piggybank. 935 00:42:00,973 --> 00:42:03,893 Speaker 2: We're starting a little wee piggybank and we're putting coins 936 00:42:03,893 --> 00:42:04,053 Speaker 2: in it. 937 00:42:04,173 --> 00:42:06,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that is really old school. I love the 938 00:42:06,453 --> 00:42:08,333 Speaker 3: idea of big bank. I know it's a digital pig, 939 00:42:08,573 --> 00:42:09,493 Speaker 3: it's a virtual. 940 00:42:09,333 --> 00:42:12,692 Speaker 2: It's a savings you're putting away savings money every week 941 00:42:12,813 --> 00:42:15,933 Speaker 2: until we can afford to go on this little holiday. 942 00:42:16,333 --> 00:42:19,692 Speaker 2: You know that. Isn't that the right way to do it? 943 00:42:19,853 --> 00:42:25,453 Speaker 2: Or is the bank holiday? Can you truly enjoy a 944 00:42:25,493 --> 00:42:27,692 Speaker 2: holiday if you know that you're just racking up more 945 00:42:27,733 --> 00:42:29,813 Speaker 2: and more and more debt when you sit there, and 946 00:42:29,813 --> 00:42:31,133 Speaker 2: you know, if you go on a holiday, when you're 947 00:42:31,173 --> 00:42:33,853 Speaker 2: over the essay, you're in Europe. Say, let's just say 948 00:42:33,973 --> 00:42:36,693 Speaker 2: you're in Italy, right, because that's where we're planning to go. 949 00:42:36,853 --> 00:42:38,893 Speaker 2: So you're in Italy and then you're out for dinner, 950 00:42:38,893 --> 00:42:41,093 Speaker 2: and you always go, well, how often are we in Italy? 951 00:42:41,173 --> 00:42:43,653 Speaker 2: So you spend more money? How often away in Italy? 952 00:42:43,733 --> 00:42:46,173 Speaker 2: We're going and do this? Normally we wouldn't spend this 953 00:42:46,213 --> 00:42:48,213 Speaker 2: insane amount of money on this, but how often are 954 00:42:48,253 --> 00:42:50,813 Speaker 2: we over here? So whatever holiday money you spend blows 955 00:42:50,853 --> 00:42:53,813 Speaker 2: out by about three times. So maybe you have the 956 00:42:53,853 --> 00:42:58,173 Speaker 2: original a f IS and accommodation and such on your mortgage, 957 00:42:58,333 --> 00:43:00,652 Speaker 2: you will then blow out your credit cards whatever. After 958 00:43:00,693 --> 00:43:02,973 Speaker 2: pay your doing, you'll blow that out as well. You'll 959 00:43:03,053 --> 00:43:05,212 Speaker 2: end up spending so much more. So does that make 960 00:43:05,293 --> 00:43:08,293 Speaker 2: your holiday less enjoyable because you know that you get 961 00:43:08,413 --> 00:43:10,853 Speaker 2: to be your future self is going to be grinding 962 00:43:10,893 --> 00:43:13,013 Speaker 2: a way to pay it back with interest. 963 00:43:13,133 --> 00:43:15,213 Speaker 3: Well, it's a great point because the last thing you 964 00:43:15,213 --> 00:43:17,293 Speaker 3: want to be doing is worrying about your finances when 965 00:43:17,293 --> 00:43:19,573 Speaker 3: you're on holiday, because then you think, oh, we've only 966 00:43:19,613 --> 00:43:21,773 Speaker 3: got a couple of thousand left, and maybe we shouldn't 967 00:43:21,773 --> 00:43:23,973 Speaker 3: go out for dinner tonight, even though it's this beautiful 968 00:43:23,973 --> 00:43:27,293 Speaker 3: Italian restaurant that we've dreamed about and talked about. You 969 00:43:27,373 --> 00:43:29,853 Speaker 3: may as well tick it up because that's less stress 970 00:43:29,853 --> 00:43:33,173 Speaker 3: in the interim, rather than arguing about, oh, we're spending 971 00:43:33,213 --> 00:43:34,933 Speaker 3: too much money on this holiday. You're on holiday, you 972 00:43:34,973 --> 00:43:36,053 Speaker 3: should be enjoying yourself. 973 00:43:36,333 --> 00:43:40,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's another side to us though. There's another 974 00:43:40,933 --> 00:43:44,453 Speaker 2: side to this, and it's the idea that you go 975 00:43:44,533 --> 00:43:48,333 Speaker 2: on holiday. Now, well, okay, you don't know what's going 976 00:43:48,333 --> 00:43:49,853 Speaker 2: to happen in your life. You might get hit by 977 00:43:49,853 --> 00:43:52,133 Speaker 2: a bus yep and may not have to pay off 978 00:43:52,173 --> 00:43:55,493 Speaker 2: your mortgage. You might get unhealthy and not be able 979 00:43:55,533 --> 00:43:58,933 Speaker 2: to you know, you may not pass away, but you 980 00:43:59,053 --> 00:44:02,253 Speaker 2: might not be healthy enough to enjoy a holiday in 981 00:44:02,293 --> 00:44:04,853 Speaker 2: the future. So there's the other school where you just 982 00:44:04,933 --> 00:44:07,773 Speaker 2: burn it now, you just go now, and damn the 983 00:44:07,773 --> 00:44:10,733 Speaker 2: future because this future is uncertain. Yeah, what as certain 984 00:44:10,853 --> 00:44:13,333 Speaker 2: is here and now, So tick it up on the mortgage, 985 00:44:13,453 --> 00:44:16,812 Speaker 2: have all the great times in the world. And look, 986 00:44:17,253 --> 00:44:18,853 Speaker 2: maybe you'll get lucky and you don't have to pay 987 00:44:18,853 --> 00:44:20,293 Speaker 2: it back because you're hit by a bus. I don't know. 988 00:44:20,733 --> 00:44:22,173 Speaker 3: I mean that scares the hell out of me, but 989 00:44:22,213 --> 00:44:23,933 Speaker 3: I kind of like it. And there I listened to 990 00:44:23,933 --> 00:44:25,933 Speaker 3: a guy. He's written a book called Die with Zero, 991 00:44:25,933 --> 00:44:30,053 Speaker 3: and his name's Bill Perkins. But he advocates just for that, 992 00:44:30,533 --> 00:44:32,453 Speaker 3: and he mentions, here are we stats. So for the 993 00:44:32,493 --> 00:44:35,093 Speaker 3: heads of a households between the ages of seventy to 994 00:44:35,133 --> 00:44:37,933 Speaker 3: seventy four, the median net worth is two hundred and 995 00:44:38,013 --> 00:44:41,293 Speaker 3: twenty five thousand dollars. That is the peak for most people. 996 00:44:41,373 --> 00:44:43,093 Speaker 3: But of course by the time you hit seventy to 997 00:44:43,133 --> 00:44:45,853 Speaker 3: seventy four, that is too late for many to enjoy 998 00:44:46,133 --> 00:44:50,053 Speaker 3: some of life's most fulfilling experiences. So he advocates, as 999 00:44:50,093 --> 00:44:54,053 Speaker 3: the book says, die was Zero, but also don't save 1000 00:44:54,133 --> 00:44:57,133 Speaker 3: too much, which is weird advice. But what he's advocating 1001 00:44:57,133 --> 00:45:01,093 Speaker 3: for is spend your money while you're young and limber 1002 00:45:01,253 --> 00:45:02,853 Speaker 3: and you can do those things that you want to do, 1003 00:45:02,973 --> 00:45:04,973 Speaker 3: rather than wait until you're in your seventies and you 1004 00:45:05,013 --> 00:45:05,853 Speaker 3: can't do them anymore. 1005 00:45:05,933 --> 00:45:09,053 Speaker 2: It's the triangle. There's a famous triangle people talk about. 1006 00:45:09,053 --> 00:45:12,813 Speaker 2: There's three things you've got. You've got time, you've got money, 1007 00:45:13,293 --> 00:45:16,613 Speaker 2: and you've got your health. And when you're young, you've 1008 00:45:16,613 --> 00:45:19,093 Speaker 2: got your health. You've got very little money and very 1009 00:45:19,133 --> 00:45:21,133 Speaker 2: little time. Well, there's this period where you've got a 1010 00:45:21,173 --> 00:45:23,652 Speaker 2: bit of money, got no money, and some time when 1011 00:45:23,693 --> 00:45:26,732 Speaker 2: you're young. It's a small window though, Yeah, and then 1012 00:45:27,333 --> 00:45:30,173 Speaker 2: in your late twenties and thirties and into your forties, 1013 00:45:30,693 --> 00:45:33,172 Speaker 2: you may have money, but you don't have time, and 1014 00:45:33,253 --> 00:45:35,813 Speaker 2: you do have your health. But you can get to 1015 00:45:35,813 --> 00:45:38,053 Speaker 2: the situation where you're quite a bit older if you 1016 00:45:38,093 --> 00:45:39,973 Speaker 2: wait and wait and wait and wait and wait till 1017 00:45:40,013 --> 00:45:42,333 Speaker 2: you spend your money on these holidays. You might have 1018 00:45:42,373 --> 00:45:44,373 Speaker 2: the time and the money, but you don't have the 1019 00:45:44,413 --> 00:45:46,933 Speaker 2: health to enjoy it. You know, it's harder to get 1020 00:45:47,013 --> 00:45:49,653 Speaker 2: round when you're in your late seventies. You know, if 1021 00:45:49,693 --> 00:45:52,292 Speaker 2: you hold off your whole life until you're seventy before 1022 00:45:52,293 --> 00:45:55,093 Speaker 2: you go on this trip. Maybe you don't get to experience. 1023 00:45:55,333 --> 00:45:57,333 Speaker 2: Maybe you can't make it up to much you pitch 1024 00:45:57,373 --> 00:46:00,453 Speaker 2: you you know, maybe maybe you don't have the physical 1025 00:46:00,453 --> 00:46:03,333 Speaker 2: ability to joy the holidays you should. So really that's 1026 00:46:03,333 --> 00:46:06,293 Speaker 2: a question.

You'll go 1164 00:52:16,213 --> 00:52:19,493 Speaker 2: through an intersection, right, You've got to follow him through, dodging. 1165 00:52:20,173 --> 00:52:23,373 Speaker 2: I was basically nearly under a Lorry truck at one point. 1166 00:52:23,573 --> 00:52:25,493 Speaker 2: It's it's an incredibly good time. But one thing you 1167 00:52:25,533 --> 00:52:29,253 Speaker 2: need to remember, Chris, when you're over there is that 1168 00:52:29,453 --> 00:52:34,172 Speaker 2: honking your horn in Japan is considered incredibly rude. So 1169 00:52:34,333 --> 00:52:36,573 Speaker 2: you go to Tokyo, you hardly ever hear a horn. 1170 00:52:36,613 --> 00:52:38,613 Speaker 2: You've got this town of forty million people, the city 1171 00:52:38,653 --> 00:52:40,013 Speaker 2: of forty million, but you hard to hear a horn. 1172 00:52:40,333 --> 00:52:41,813 Speaker 2: And so a bunch of people were waving at us 1173 00:52:41,813 --> 00:52:43,893 Speaker 2: because we dressed up in these Mario costumes and these 1174 00:52:43,933 --> 00:52:47,173 Speaker 2: Mario carts blasting around the streets of Tokyo. We honked 1175 00:52:47,173 --> 00:52:50,853 Speaker 2: our horns to saylo, and our tour guide was like no, no, no, 1176 00:52:50,853 --> 00:52:53,333 Speaker 2: no no, and it pulled us over and goes, no, no, 1177 00:52:53,333 --> 00:52:55,293 Speaker 2: no no, do not honk your horn. It's the equivalent 1178 00:52:55,333 --> 00:52:58,493 Speaker 2: of flat, equivalent of giving people the finger doing that. 1179 00:52:58,653 --> 00:53:00,053 Speaker 2: That's just a little bit of a vice Criss, but 1180 00:53:00,253 --> 00:53:02,293 Speaker 2: it's a it's scary, but it's a great time. 1181 00:53:07,213 --> 00:53:11,773 Speaker 12: Oh yeah, when you hit seventy, your traveling insurance goes up, 1182 00:53:12,213 --> 00:53:15,453 Speaker 12: Your hard car haigher costs go off. You know when 1183 00:53:15,453 --> 00:53:17,973 Speaker 12: you take these boxes for you as soon as you 1184 00:53:18,013 --> 00:53:20,493 Speaker 12: get over sixty five, mate, everything goes through the roof. 1185 00:53:20,893 --> 00:53:23,733 Speaker 2: So getting done early, Well, there you go, thanks to 1186 00:53:23,733 --> 00:53:24,333 Speaker 2: your care Chris. 1187 00:53:24,333 --> 00:53:26,613 Speaker 3: But just on that point, Chris, that that you're doing 1188 00:53:26,613 --> 00:53:28,733 Speaker 3: all these wonderful things and you're you're saving up and 1189 00:53:28,773 --> 00:53:32,613 Speaker 3: the strategy is perfect.

Just spend up or do 1209 00:54:16,813 --> 00:54:18,973 Speaker 2: you manage to just keep it tight for the whole time. 1210 00:54:20,493 --> 00:54:23,373 Speaker 12: I wouldn't say tight, but you know, I went to 1211 00:54:23,413 --> 00:54:27,172 Speaker 12: the States in January and four beers and the shop 1212 00:54:27,373 --> 00:54:30,772 Speaker 12: is one hundred news even dollars because of the exchange rates. 1213 00:54:30,813 --> 00:54:33,652 Speaker 12: So you have to be careful because if you look 1214 00:54:33,653 --> 00:54:35,973 Speaker 12: at a US dollars the same as a news event dollar, 1215 00:54:36,013 --> 00:54:37,093 Speaker 12: you'll be skinned pretty quick. 1216 00:54:37,533 --> 00:54:40,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

Notice everyone 1221 00:54:48,013 --> 00:54:50,933 Speaker 2: saves to achieve desired goals rather than generate higher income. 1222 00:54:50,973 --> 00:54:54,213 Speaker 2: New Zealand has a roadblock towards success, and most callers 1223 00:54:54,253 --> 00:54:58,573 Speaker 2: are stuck in the employee based living. Interesting. Yeah, so 1224 00:54:59,973 --> 00:55:02,533 Speaker 2: if I can understand what that text are saying, as 1225 00:55:02,533 --> 00:55:06,493 Speaker 2: you should instead of investing on these luxuries, you should 1226 00:55:06,493 --> 00:55:11,533 Speaker 2: be reinvesting in yourself and treating yourself as an ongoing 1227 00:55:11,573 --> 00:55:14,013 Speaker 2: concern in terms of your future money making. 1228 00:55:14,093 --> 00:55:17,213 Speaker 3: It's not as fun as Mario carts.

But yeah, my advice was never to 1301 00:58:24,973 --> 00:58:28,733 Speaker 20: be just for occasion to go to dip into the morgage, 1302 00:58:28,773 --> 00:58:31,213 Speaker 20: which is you're digging yourself into a bigger hole. 1303 00:58:31,493 --> 00:58:34,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't think you'll be tempted when you're 1304 00:58:34,333 --> 00:58:36,493 Speaker 2: over there because you've saved up your money to go, well, 1305 00:58:36,733 --> 00:58:39,293 Speaker 2: we're back home, this is the first time eleven years, 1306 00:58:39,293 --> 00:58:41,693 Speaker 2: and splash out some more money and go into a 1307 00:58:41,733 --> 00:58:43,173 Speaker 2: little bit of dit just because you're over there. 1308 00:58:44,013 --> 00:58:47,173 Speaker 20: Now, I'm uncome conservative. I would say, I'm into finance, 1309 00:58:47,413 --> 00:58:49,933 Speaker 20: so I really want to pay my cards closed there. Yeah, 1310 00:58:50,453 --> 00:58:52,973 Speaker 20: I not get myself into dead just because of having 1311 00:58:53,013 --> 00:58:56,413 Speaker 20: fun for maybe four weeks, five weeks. It doesn't make 1312 00:58:56,653 --> 00:58:57,973 Speaker 20: you know, you could always do it later. 1313 00:58:58,453 --> 00:59:00,613 Speaker 2: Well, thanks so much for your call, Jonathan.

But if 1322 00:59:22,693 --> 00:59:26,293 Speaker 3: you want to put lifelong experiences ahead of saving for 1323 00:59:26,373 --> 00:59:28,813 Speaker 3: the so called golden years, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, 1324 00:59:28,973 --> 00:59:31,733 Speaker 3: that is this mentality that you save and save and 1325 00:59:31,773 --> 00:59:34,253 Speaker 3: save and save until you get to retirement.

All right, well, I don't know what 1407 01:03:11,973 --> 01:03:14,693 Speaker 3: does that mean.

It's a 1414 01:03:26,093 --> 01:03:29,053 Speaker 2: pretty New Zealand problem too, simply because it's so bastard 1415 01:03:29,133 --> 01:03:32,573 Speaker 2: expensive to go literally anywhere. I'm in the Europeans. Being 1416 01:03:32,573 --> 01:03:34,493 Speaker 2: able to travel to another country for one hundred bucks 1417 01:03:34,493 --> 01:03:36,213 Speaker 2: instead of thousands, I mean, that's a really good point. 1418 01:03:37,133 --> 01:03:39,693 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're in Europe then you just jump 1419 01:03:39,773 --> 01:03:42,213 Speaker 2: on a train. It's so easy to go to such 1420 01:03:42,253 --> 01:03:45,293 Speaker 2: incredible places. Although if you're from Europe, you go you 1421 01:03:45,333 --> 01:03:47,653 Speaker 2: know where I'd like to go New Zealand. That looks good. 1422 01:03:47,773 --> 01:03:49,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's expensive together. 1423 01:03:49,573 --> 01:03:52,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're already here, so suck that up, Europeans. 1424 01:03:53,253 --> 01:03:53,893 Speaker 3: I'm great. 1425 01:03:54,133 --> 01:03:54,813 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. 1426 01:03:56,173 --> 01:03:58,733 Speaker 10: Yeah, good, Hey, guys, I've just come back from a 1427 01:03:58,853 --> 01:04:03,693 Speaker 10: month in Thailand and we started saving about twelve months ago. 1428 01:04:03,773 --> 01:04:07,733 Speaker 10: But that's part of the fun was spending the last 1429 01:04:07,733 --> 01:04:11,693 Speaker 10: twelve month watching ship overs, the YouTube clips and whatever, 1430 01:04:11,733 --> 01:04:13,573 Speaker 10: you and really planning where you wanted to go and 1431 01:04:13,573 --> 01:04:15,693 Speaker 10: what you wanted to do. So by the time we went, 1432 01:04:16,213 --> 01:04:20,293 Speaker 10: we had all our fixed costs completely sorted and really 1433 01:04:20,333 --> 01:04:23,053 Speaker 10: it was only spending money after that. And you know, 1434 01:04:23,133 --> 01:04:26,813 Speaker 10: we lived like kings over there. But we picked you know, 1435 01:04:26,853 --> 01:04:30,613 Speaker 10: we picked Southeast Asia because it's affordable, so you know, 1436 01:04:31,693 --> 01:04:33,893 Speaker 10: for a month for two people staying in four or 1437 01:04:33,933 --> 01:04:37,173 Speaker 10: five stars and absolutely living it up. All our fixed 1438 01:04:37,173 --> 01:04:41,453 Speaker 10: costs were about eleven grand, so it was just alcohol 1439 01:04:41,573 --> 01:04:44,173 Speaker 10: and spending on top of that. So we ended up, 1440 01:04:44,853 --> 01:04:46,133 Speaker 10: after saving for twelve. 1441 01:04:45,933 --> 01:04:48,253 Speaker 8: Months, coming back with about five grand in the bank. 1442 01:04:48,053 --> 01:04:52,093 Speaker 2: And we just didn't It was arguably so Craig was 1443 01:04:52,173 --> 01:04:54,453 Speaker 2: arguably cheaper living once you were over there, you were 1444 01:04:54,533 --> 01:04:56,773 Speaker 2: kind of saving money for being over there on holiday. 1445 01:04:58,013 --> 01:04:58,973 Speaker 6: Well exactly, our. 1446 01:04:58,853 --> 01:05:01,493 Speaker 10: Food ball in New Zealand, you know, could last bloody 1447 01:05:01,573 --> 01:05:05,333 Speaker 10: two weeks over there. It's ridiculous, you know. And we 1448 01:05:05,373 --> 01:05:07,893 Speaker 10: didn't skimp on anything because we wanted to do something. 1449 01:05:07,933 --> 01:05:11,133 Speaker 10: We just it, you know, and all our accommodation was 1450 01:05:11,173 --> 01:05:14,133 Speaker 10: five stars with all of access and all sorts of 1451 01:05:14,133 --> 01:05:18,373 Speaker 10: crazy shirts, and it was just that's super affordable.

So it was 1458 01:05:38,693 --> 01:05:41,933 Speaker 2: actually not really a period of austerity for you. It 1459 01:05:41,973 --> 01:05:43,773 Speaker 2: was it was a fun build up to the holiday 1460 01:05:43,813 --> 01:05:44,133 Speaker 2: as well. 1461 01:05:45,653 --> 01:05:46,573 Speaker 11: Yeah, well you know. 1462 01:05:46,573 --> 01:05:48,853 Speaker 10: The others because there was supposed to be four of 1463 01:05:48,933 --> 01:05:50,933 Speaker 10: us going and end up two three. 1464 01:05:50,973 --> 01:05:52,053 Speaker 12: But that's a different story. 1465 01:05:52,333 --> 01:05:54,453 Speaker 10: But they put it on me that you plan it, 1466 01:05:54,653 --> 01:05:56,253 Speaker 10: you come back and you tell us and then we'll 1467 01:05:56,253 --> 01:05:59,693 Speaker 10: say you just know and and so yeah, it was 1468 01:05:59,853 --> 01:06:00,773 Speaker 10: We've put a lot of time. 1469 01:06:00,653 --> 01:06:03,453 Speaker 19: And effort and a lot of bottles of wines around. 1470 01:06:03,413 --> 01:06:07,773 Speaker 10: Watching YouTube before we made our mind up.

Are you going 1496 01:07:17,893 --> 01:07:21,813 Speaker 2: to put that back into your daily life back here 1497 01:07:21,813 --> 01:07:23,173 Speaker 2: in New Zealand or are you going to spend that 1498 01:07:23,253 --> 01:07:24,413 Speaker 2: on another holiday. 1499 01:07:26,133 --> 01:07:26,413 Speaker 12: Boat? 1500 01:07:27,093 --> 01:07:29,893 Speaker 3: Good man? I like your style, Greg Yolo. 1501 01:07:30,413 --> 01:07:33,493 Speaker 2: Death comes quick. You never know when or how it 1502 01:07:33,533 --> 01:07:36,453 Speaker 2: will come, so you should enjoy it. And this text 1503 01:07:36,493 --> 01:07:38,853 Speaker 2: to Mike says the opposite. The whole New Zealand population 1504 01:07:38,973 --> 01:07:41,013 Speaker 2: is in debt due to the government. Look where we 1505 01:07:41,053 --> 01:07:43,853 Speaker 2: are now, Yeah, the government. The previous comment got us 1506 01:07:43,893 --> 01:07:46,093 Speaker 2: into some quite are in us debt. But we didn't 1507 01:07:46,293 --> 01:07:47,533 Speaker 2: really get a holiday. Did we know? 1508 01:07:47,693 --> 01:07:49,653 Speaker 3: If the shadowed us a trip to Thailand, we might 1509 01:07:49,693 --> 01:07:52,173 Speaker 3: be feeling a bit happier about it. We could eventually, 1510 01:07:52,213 --> 01:07:54,373 Speaker 3: we could have easily. There could have been times over. 1511 01:07:54,333 --> 01:07:56,573 Speaker 2: The shovel reality projects could have been we're all going 1512 01:07:56,613 --> 01:07:57,253 Speaker 2: to the Goldie. 1513 01:07:57,413 --> 01:08:01,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, And Sophie says via Tix's book the Trip guys, 1514 01:08:01,293 --> 01:08:04,653 Speaker 3: much like Yolo, you only live once once. I believe 1515 01:08:04,693 --> 01:08:07,933 Speaker 3: in phoebe if it and book it from Sophie. 1516 01:08:09,013 --> 01:08:12,893 Speaker 2: Okay, so coming up next, I want to argue against 1517 01:08:12,973 --> 01:08:17,572 Speaker 2: going on holidays at all. Oh, just against right, against 1518 01:08:17,572 --> 01:08:19,133 Speaker 2: the turn, against the whole thing. 1519 01:08:19,213 --> 01:08:21,293 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, it'd be good. It is, okay, eighteen 1520 01:08:21,293 --> 01:08:21,692 Speaker 3: to three. 1521 01:08:23,133 --> 01:08:26,612 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and 1522 01:08:26,853 --> 01:08:30,892 Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talk, 1523 01:08:30,933 --> 01:08:31,932 Speaker 1: sa'd be afternoon. 1524 01:08:31,973 --> 01:08:34,412 Speaker 3: We've been talking about chicking up a holiday on the mortgage. 1525 01:08:34,452 --> 01:08:35,772 Speaker 3: Good idea or bad idea. 1526 01:08:36,372 --> 01:08:38,213 Speaker 2: I was just so pleased I travel when I was younger. 1527 01:08:38,253 --> 01:08:40,532 Speaker 2: I am unable to travel now. Car crash put a 1528 01:08:40,532 --> 01:08:42,772 Speaker 2: stop to many things. I've also seen a lot of 1529 01:08:42,772 --> 01:08:45,173 Speaker 2: New Zealand as well. So there you go. Yeah, that's 1530 01:08:45,213 --> 01:08:47,412 Speaker 2: what a lot of people thinks for that text, Kim, 1531 01:08:48,173 --> 01:08:51,213 Speaker 2: this is someone berating you Tyler. Hi, guys, it sounds 1532 01:08:51,253 --> 01:08:53,732 Speaker 2: like fun boring for a holiday, but it's a bad habit. 1533 01:08:53,812 --> 01:08:56,652 Speaker 2: I bet Tyler will be in financial difficulties later in life. 1534 01:08:56,692 --> 01:08:59,293 Speaker 2: I think you're right. Actually interesting you should say that 1535 01:08:59,333 --> 01:09:02,133 Speaker 2: because Tyler's actually, if you know, I'm very stingy. It 1536 01:09:02,253 --> 01:09:06,133 Speaker 2: actually struggles to spend any money. I could see you 1537 01:09:06,213 --> 01:09:07,652 Speaker 2: dying with quite a lot of money in your bank, 1538 01:09:08,452 --> 01:09:10,052 Speaker 2: just living frugally in a bedsit. 1539 01:09:10,893 --> 01:09:12,812 Speaker 3: My partner is at she loves to spend and I 1540 01:09:12,933 --> 01:09:14,053 Speaker 3: absolutely hate it. 1541 01:09:14,133 --> 01:09:14,372 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1542 01:09:14,412 --> 01:09:16,173 Speaker 3: I just want to have a big you go. 1543 01:09:17,372 --> 01:09:20,372 Speaker 2: Not I was just taking a breath. Oh you thought 1544 01:09:20,412 --> 01:09:21,932 Speaker 2: that I was going to say something. Yeah I can 1545 01:09:22,173 --> 01:09:25,932 Speaker 2: if you're finished, Yeah you go, just stay fit, says 1546 01:09:25,973 --> 01:09:28,652 Speaker 2: this texter did the in contrail too much? You pitch 1547 01:09:28,692 --> 01:09:31,732 Speaker 2: you last year at seventy and Everest Base camp five 1548 01:09:31,732 --> 01:09:33,492 Speaker 2: months ago at seventy one. 1549 01:09:33,572 --> 01:09:36,333 Speaker 3: That's impressive. Seventy one much, I peach you, yeah, have 1550 01:09:36,412 --> 01:09:40,012 Speaker 3: you ever done that much? You pitch you No, I haven't. 1551 01:09:40,333 --> 01:09:43,173 Speaker 2: I would bloody like to. Should we go tomorrow to 1552 01:09:44,093 --> 01:09:46,372 Speaker 2: get it on the mortgage? Hey, before we go on 1553 01:09:46,452 --> 01:09:48,692 Speaker 2: with us? So I just want to make a small 1554 01:09:48,732 --> 01:09:51,612 Speaker 2: point about holidays, right, And it goes back to quite 1555 01:09:51,612 --> 01:09:55,933 Speaker 2: a famous quote from Seneca, the ancient Roman statesman and philosopher, 1556 01:09:55,973 --> 01:09:58,612 Speaker 2: who he said, you must lay aside the burdens of 1557 01:09:58,612 --> 01:10:01,133 Speaker 2: the mind. Until you do this, no place will satisfy you. 1558 01:10:01,492 --> 01:10:04,692 Speaker 2: Which is equivalent to the saying wherever you go, there 1559 01:10:04,692 --> 01:10:07,732 Speaker 2: you are. I think it's very, very important to make 1560 01:10:07,732 --> 01:10:10,893 Speaker 2: sure you're happy where you are before you go on holiday, 1561 01:10:11,013 --> 01:10:14,772 Speaker 2: because you're quite capable of being miserable on holiday. If 1562 01:10:14,812 --> 01:10:18,772 Speaker 2: you're miserable, holidays don't solve your problems. You're on holiday, 1563 01:10:18,772 --> 01:10:21,372 Speaker 2: you don't suddenly be fine. You've got to spend If 1564 01:10:21,372 --> 01:10:23,732 Speaker 2: you're going to spend the money on holiday, you've got 1565 01:10:23,772 --> 01:10:26,012 Speaker 2: to spend your time before you go on that holiday, 1566 01:10:26,053 --> 01:10:29,012 Speaker 2: getting into a mental state such that you can enjoy 1567 01:10:29,093 --> 01:10:32,053 Speaker 2: the holiday. Anyone that has watched White lotus any one 1568 01:10:32,093 --> 01:10:34,133 Speaker 2: of the three seasons. I mean that is basically an 1569 01:10:34,173 --> 01:10:37,852 Speaker 2: exploration into people who don't enjoy the holidays they are 1570 01:10:37,853 --> 01:10:41,412 Speaker 2: on because they take their problems with them wherever you are, 1571 01:10:41,853 --> 01:10:42,852 Speaker 2: wherever you go, there you are. 1572 01:10:43,093 --> 01:10:46,412 Speaker 3: I absolutely agree. Yeah, it's like, you know, you don't 1573 01:10:46,452 --> 01:10:48,652 Speaker 3: want to get into an argument just before you go 1574 01:10:48,692 --> 01:10:50,692 Speaker 3: on holiday, or you certainly don't want to get into 1575 01:10:50,732 --> 01:10:53,772 Speaker 3: an argument when you're on holiday. It just ruins everything. 1576 01:10:53,853 --> 01:10:55,852 Speaker 3: And as you mentioned before, I am a mess of scrooge. 1577 01:10:55,853 --> 01:10:57,372 Speaker 3: And as I said to you during the air break, 1578 01:10:57,532 --> 01:11:01,213 Speaker 3: there's been times where I've been stressing because Mave loves 1579 01:11:01,253 --> 01:11:03,333 Speaker 3: to spend money and good on you because we're on holiday, 1580 01:11:03,452 --> 01:11:06,093 Speaker 3: should be enjoying ourselves. And then I just get into 1581 01:11:06,133 --> 01:11:08,732 Speaker 3: this kind of doom spiral that oh man, into so 1582 01:11:08,812 --> 01:11:10,532 Speaker 3: much debt and it ruins the holiday. 1583 01:11:10,612 --> 01:11:12,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just got to enjoy it, that's right. You know, 1584 01:11:12,532 --> 01:11:13,772 Speaker 2: you've got to get in the right middle state. And 1585 01:11:13,772 --> 01:11:15,572 Speaker 2: so many people in relationships go, look, we're going to 1586 01:11:15,612 --> 01:11:17,892 Speaker 2: go on a holiday here and that'll sort things out. 1587 01:11:18,213 --> 01:11:20,372 Speaker 2: You'll have a huge Barnie in the uber on the 1588 01:11:20,372 --> 01:11:24,132 Speaker 2: way to the airport, another Barnie checking in your luggage, 1589 01:11:24,333 --> 01:11:27,293 Speaker 2: a huge argument on the plane, and then you'll spend 1590 01:11:27,333 --> 01:11:29,372 Speaker 2: the whole thing not talking to each other. Yeah, got 1591 01:11:29,412 --> 01:11:31,852 Speaker 2: to sort out the relationship before you go. Youve got 1592 01:11:31,893 --> 01:11:34,172 Speaker 2: to sort yourself out before you go.

But right now, 1795 01:20:38,532 --> 01:20:41,093 Speaker 3: let's have a chat about flat pack furniture. As we 1796 01:20:41,133 --> 01:20:45,972 Speaker 3: all know, Ikea is almost in the country, about six 1797 01:20:46,013 --> 01:20:46,492 Speaker 3: months away. 1798 01:20:46,492 --> 01:20:48,372 Speaker 2: They reckon and it's not just going to be in Auckland. 1799 01:20:48,412 --> 01:20:50,772 Speaker 2: There's going to be multiple Kias around the country. For 1800 01:20:50,772 --> 01:20:53,133 Speaker 2: the longest time, we didn't think Aikia said we didn't 1801 01:20:53,133 --> 01:20:54,892 Speaker 2: have a big enough population to come to New Zealand, 1802 01:20:55,173 --> 01:20:57,772 Speaker 2: but there were ways you could get Ikea in New Zealand. Whatever. 1803 01:20:57,812 --> 01:20:59,532 Speaker 2: Flat pats, they're quite good flat packs. 1804 01:20:59,652 --> 01:20:59,932 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1805 01:20:59,973 --> 01:21:01,412 Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of people that will go 1806 01:21:01,692 --> 01:21:07,133 Speaker 2: that you see saying their instructions aren't very easy to follow. 1807 01:21:07,372 --> 01:21:09,892 Speaker 2: Those people are dumb. The instructions are very easy to follow. 1808 01:21:10,253 --> 01:21:12,412 Speaker 2: So if you start complaining that you can't understand the 1809 01:21:12,452 --> 01:21:16,652 Speaker 2: instructions and a flat pack, then that that's lost. It 1810 01:21:16,692 --> 01:21:18,692 Speaker 2: was lost. I mean some of the cheaper flat packs, 1811 01:21:18,893 --> 01:21:20,812 Speaker 2: you are amazed how bad the instructions are. But ike 1812 01:21:21,133 --> 01:21:24,532 Speaker 2: flat pack instructions are pretty good and the quality is 1813 01:21:24,532 --> 01:21:30,253 Speaker 2: pretty good.

One's for pure bread kind of short 2205 01:40:09,372 --> 01:40:12,892 Speaker 27: head sorry, short legs, wire head deck Russell, and the 2206 01:40:12,893 --> 01:40:15,452 Speaker 27: other one's a rescue but the kind of Jack Russell mixed. 2207 01:40:16,133 --> 01:40:19,612 Speaker 27: And my partner has a large kind of hunting gun dog. 2208 01:40:21,732 --> 01:40:25,053 Speaker 27: And when we first got the dogs together, it was okay. 2209 01:40:25,293 --> 01:40:26,612 Speaker 27: You know, they were a little bit wary, but it 2210 01:40:26,692 --> 01:40:29,293 Speaker 27: was okay. And then it seemed to be all right, 2211 01:40:29,412 --> 01:40:31,133 Speaker 27: and then all of a sudden one day it went 2212 01:40:31,293 --> 01:40:35,173 Speaker 27: very wrong and one of my little dogs kind of 2213 01:40:35,253 --> 01:40:38,492 Speaker 27: nipped at the big one, and since then we just 2214 01:40:38,612 --> 01:40:40,532 Speaker 27: have not been able to get them back together at all. 2215 01:40:40,572 --> 01:40:43,652 Speaker 27: And I'm just terrified that one of my little dogs, 2216 01:40:43,652 --> 01:40:44,053 Speaker 27: who is going. 2217 01:40:44,053 --> 01:40:44,812 Speaker 17: To get right? 2218 01:40:45,812 --> 01:40:48,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a big question. I think we've got 2219 01:40:48,213 --> 01:40:52,493 Speaker 3: mark the now Marre we go perfect. 2220 01:40:52,572 --> 01:40:57,492 Speaker 2: Did you hear Carol's Did you hear Carol's? Okay, So Carol, 2221 01:40:57,492 --> 01:40:59,532 Speaker 2: I'll try and summarize it. So, you've got a couple 2222 01:40:59,572 --> 01:41:02,852 Speaker 2: of little dogs and your your your partner's got a 2223 01:41:02,933 --> 01:41:05,213 Speaker 2: much bigger dog. They started getting on pretty well, but 2224 01:41:05,532 --> 01:41:07,692 Speaker 2: now there's a bit of argie badgie and you're worried 2225 01:41:07,692 --> 01:41:10,612 Speaker 2: that you're a little dogs might get attacked. Is that correct? 2226 01:41:11,652 --> 01:41:14,932 Speaker 27: Yeah, well, not that the big dog aggressive, but it's 2227 01:41:15,013 --> 01:41:16,972 Speaker 27: just the kind of mix of the three of them. 2228 01:41:16,973 --> 01:41:19,173 Speaker 27: And in fact, it was my little dog that kind 2229 01:41:19,173 --> 01:41:23,532 Speaker 27: of nipped at the big dog initially. So and you know, 2230 01:41:23,572 --> 01:41:25,652 Speaker 27: the bigger dog hadn't done anything at all, and he's 2231 01:41:25,652 --> 01:41:29,213 Speaker 27: the lovely, lovely dog. They're all lovely dogs. But the 2232 01:41:29,253 --> 01:41:31,572 Speaker 27: problem is now he's the bigger dog. You know, he 2233 01:41:31,652 --> 01:41:37,293 Speaker 27: remembers and and I'm just really we're just struggling to 2234 01:41:37,333 --> 01:41:38,612 Speaker 27: get them back together again. 2235 01:41:38,652 --> 01:41:40,372 Speaker 6: What breeds other dogs? 2236 01:41:41,412 --> 01:41:45,092 Speaker 27: So my two are one of them's a short legged 2237 01:41:45,133 --> 01:41:48,692 Speaker 27: wire head tech Russell and she's five. And then I've 2238 01:41:48,692 --> 01:41:51,092 Speaker 27: got to kind of Jack Russell mixed, who's a rescue. 2239 01:41:51,213 --> 01:41:53,372 Speaker 27: He's seven. He's the one that kind of nipped at 2240 01:41:53,372 --> 01:41:57,052 Speaker 27: the bigger dog out of kind of fear, I think. 2241 01:41:57,492 --> 01:41:59,692 Speaker 27: And then the bigger dog my partner's dog is like 2242 01:41:59,732 --> 01:42:00,452 Speaker 27: her gun dog. 2243 01:42:02,053 --> 01:42:07,252 Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, And and is he a male? Is any 2244 01:42:07,253 --> 01:42:08,213 Speaker 6: of the dogs in tire? 2245 01:42:09,333 --> 01:42:09,492 Speaker 10: Yeah? 2246 01:42:09,853 --> 01:42:13,253 Speaker 27: Yeah, yeah, the two, the bigger dog and the one 2247 01:42:13,293 --> 01:42:18,693 Speaker 27: that net on males and the little Jack Russell's a female, right. 2248 01:42:18,492 --> 01:42:20,492 Speaker 6: So it's going to be the males that are more 2249 01:42:20,532 --> 01:42:22,692 Speaker 6: likely going to have the issue, And that's probably what's happening. 2250 01:42:22,853 --> 01:42:25,013 Speaker 6: It sounds like the Jack Russell's being a bit of 2251 01:42:25,053 --> 01:42:28,133 Speaker 6: a Jack Russell and you know, just a little bit 2252 01:42:28,173 --> 01:42:32,612 Speaker 6: dominant and being entire. The two males being entire will 2253 01:42:32,652 --> 01:42:34,613 Speaker 6: make it the problem more complicated. 2254 01:42:36,013 --> 01:42:37,892 Speaker 27: They're not entire, Sorry, they're not. 2255 01:42:38,133 --> 01:42:42,213 Speaker 6: They're not entire no, okay, so they're both desects. Okay, 2256 01:42:42,293 --> 01:42:45,492 Speaker 6: Well that that helps. Yeah, So I mean, basically, what 2257 01:42:45,812 --> 01:42:48,293 Speaker 6: we're really wanted to do with the particularly with the 2258 01:42:48,372 --> 01:42:50,772 Speaker 6: Jack Russell, the seven year old, the one that's kind 2259 01:42:50,772 --> 01:42:55,053 Speaker 6: of initiating what I suspects happening, is the typical kind 2260 01:42:55,093 --> 01:42:59,252 Speaker 6: of terrier. You know, in situations where he's feeling slightly challenged, 2261 01:42:59,612 --> 01:43:01,732 Speaker 6: you know, he's standing up for himself, which is that 2262 01:43:02,412 --> 01:43:06,253 Speaker 6: aerier temperament, what we call gaminess within the terriers. And 2263 01:43:06,772 --> 01:43:08,812 Speaker 6: so one of the important things to do time they 2264 01:43:08,853 --> 01:43:11,732 Speaker 6: come back together, just in the initial stage, is do 2265 01:43:11,812 --> 01:43:15,213 Speaker 6: what I call the doggy handshake. And so dogs meet 2266 01:43:15,213 --> 01:43:18,213 Speaker 6: in different ways than the humans, and so what we 2267 01:43:18,293 --> 01:43:20,532 Speaker 6: want to do is we want to start by allowing 2268 01:43:20,572 --> 01:43:23,612 Speaker 6: the big dog to him to sniff the big dog 2269 01:43:24,053 --> 01:43:27,253 Speaker 6: around the rear end, under the tail, under the groin, 2270 01:43:27,692 --> 01:43:29,892 Speaker 6: and then turn him round and get the other one 2271 01:43:30,293 --> 01:43:34,333 Speaker 6: to meet him by sniffing and on. What I would 2272 01:43:34,412 --> 01:43:36,612 Speaker 6: do is get them both on the clicker and click 2273 01:43:36,652 --> 01:43:40,293 Speaker 6: on the reward them for social responses. So each time, 2274 01:43:40,452 --> 01:43:42,932 Speaker 6: particularly when they come together, and particularly when they're hyper 2275 01:43:42,933 --> 01:43:46,133 Speaker 6: aroused and those because that's when it's more than likely 2276 01:43:46,173 --> 01:43:48,492 Speaker 6: going to happen. Maybe someone's come to the door, or 2277 01:43:48,532 --> 01:43:52,652 Speaker 6: something's happening or they've just first met and having not 2278 01:43:52,692 --> 01:43:55,333 Speaker 6: seen each other for a few hours or something. That's 2279 01:43:55,412 --> 01:43:59,252 Speaker 6: normally the time it happens for over resources that they're guarding. 2280 01:43:59,732 --> 01:44:03,892 Speaker 6: So do eat and greet technique. You can always check 2281 01:44:03,893 --> 01:44:07,572 Speaker 6: out the technique for meet and greet and it's in 2282 01:44:07,612 --> 01:44:10,412 Speaker 6: the book and then the online videos if you want 2283 01:44:10,452 --> 01:44:12,692 Speaker 6: to follow it that way. But basically, what you're doing 2284 01:44:12,772 --> 01:44:15,692 Speaker 6: is you're getting getting to smell the pheromones of the 2285 01:44:15,732 --> 01:44:19,093 Speaker 6: other dog, and the dogs have appeasing pheromones and they're 2286 01:44:19,293 --> 01:44:22,133 Speaker 6: calming pheromones, and so if you don't go through that 2287 01:44:22,213 --> 01:44:27,372 Speaker 6: initial sniffing that you want to orchestrate, then normally they're 2288 01:44:27,372 --> 01:44:29,692 Speaker 6: not really they go to head to head and it's 2289 01:44:29,692 --> 01:44:33,092 Speaker 6: a much more dominant interaction, So always try and start 2290 01:44:33,133 --> 01:44:36,093 Speaker 6: with a sniff from each end, allowing both dogs to 2291 01:44:36,213 --> 01:44:38,692 Speaker 6: sniff whichever one seems to want to let the other 2292 01:44:38,732 --> 01:44:42,173 Speaker 6: one sniff first. Then do that and don't go head 2293 01:44:42,173 --> 01:44:45,333 Speaker 6: to head than those situations. Be careful of high arousal 2294 01:44:45,412 --> 01:44:49,372 Speaker 6: situations whenever one's pumped and worked up because the adrenaline high, 2295 01:44:49,772 --> 01:44:52,772 Speaker 6: they're more likely to fight in that situation. They're doing 2296 01:44:52,853 --> 01:44:55,093 Speaker 6: regular meet and greets like that, so they get to 2297 01:44:55,133 --> 01:44:58,213 Speaker 6: know each other and get on better. I'd also be 2298 01:44:58,293 --> 01:45:00,412 Speaker 6: doing some one called clip station work, where I teach 2299 01:45:00,412 --> 01:45:04,213 Speaker 6: them to clip down on a mat together and click 2300 01:45:04,213 --> 01:45:08,892 Speaker 6: and reward them for meeting each other regularly clicking one 2301 01:45:09,213 --> 01:45:12,013 Speaker 6: and feeding and clicking the other and feeding, as long 2302 01:45:12,013 --> 01:45:14,852 Speaker 6: as they're staying together and being social and friendly. So 2303 01:45:14,933 --> 01:45:17,652 Speaker 6: you've got to build that social relationship between those two 2304 01:45:18,093 --> 01:45:21,213 Speaker 6: two males, and particularly of the Jack Russell, who, as 2305 01:45:21,213 --> 01:45:23,933 Speaker 6: you said, is clearly being a little bit terrier like. 2306 01:45:24,772 --> 01:45:28,333 Speaker 6: So he's the focus a clicker training with him. 2307 01:45:28,572 --> 01:45:32,293 Speaker 2: Think if you call Carol Tyler, are you and Tyre? 2308 01:45:33,732 --> 01:45:36,133 Speaker 3: I am absolutely entire Yeah.

He's been working with them 2326 01:46:15,652 --> 01:46:18,213 Speaker 3: for over forty years and he is here to answer 2327 01:46:18,253 --> 01:46:20,973 Speaker 3: any burning questions you've got about your beloved pets. 2328 01:46:21,692 --> 01:46:24,173 Speaker 2: And Joanna, you've got a dog that's doing a little 2329 01:46:24,173 --> 01:46:25,212 Speaker 2: bit of wheeze inside. 2330 01:46:25,253 --> 01:46:29,173 Speaker 14: I understand, Thanks, Susan, actually, but that's okay. 2331 01:46:29,053 --> 01:46:31,372 Speaker 3: Oh okay, we've got Joanna here for some reason. But 2332 01:46:31,412 --> 01:46:34,253 Speaker 3: that's right. So Susan, you've got a dog that whees inside. 2333 01:46:35,492 --> 01:46:35,692 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2334 01:46:35,812 --> 01:46:38,572 Speaker 24: So he's about ten years old and it's been going 2335 01:46:38,612 --> 01:46:42,053 Speaker 24: on for a long time and it's always in a 2336 01:46:42,093 --> 01:46:45,612 Speaker 24: bedroom and when he's left at home on his own. 2337 01:46:47,333 --> 01:46:50,093 Speaker 6: Right and he has he has he had a period 2338 01:46:50,093 --> 01:46:53,013 Speaker 6: of being house trained well and he's fallen back or 2339 01:46:53,133 --> 01:46:55,732 Speaker 6: is he has been going on since. 2340 01:46:56,213 --> 01:47:02,452 Speaker 24: He's normally he's normal. So interesting story. So we had 2341 01:47:02,492 --> 01:47:05,013 Speaker 24: him for a year and then he disappeared for two 2342 01:47:05,093 --> 01:47:08,973 Speaker 24: years and he was microchip and the and where he 2343 01:47:09,173 --> 01:47:11,133 Speaker 24: wrung us up and said we've got your dog and 2344 01:47:11,173 --> 01:47:12,932 Speaker 24: we said we haven't got a dog, and they said 2345 01:47:13,372 --> 01:47:17,012 Speaker 24: we're found stubby. So he disappeared for two years and 2346 01:47:17,093 --> 01:47:20,213 Speaker 24: he came back, and it's hard to know, you know, 2347 01:47:20,253 --> 01:47:22,732 Speaker 24: whether he was traumatized or not. And we certainly don't 2348 01:47:22,772 --> 01:47:24,852 Speaker 24: know where we went, even though I have asked him, 2349 01:47:25,253 --> 01:47:31,612 Speaker 24: and so it's yeah, we just where okay. 2350 01:47:31,612 --> 01:47:33,532 Speaker 6: And it just started after that said it. 2351 01:47:34,933 --> 01:47:37,053 Speaker 24: Yeah, pretty much, I think it. 2352 01:47:37,133 --> 01:47:37,492 Speaker 27: Did you know? 2353 01:47:37,572 --> 01:47:38,532 Speaker 6: That was quite a while ago. 2354 01:47:38,612 --> 01:47:40,852 Speaker 24: That was like, you know, like seven years ago. 2355 01:47:40,973 --> 01:47:46,173 Speaker 6: So yeah, longo is he is he entire? Is he 2356 01:47:46,293 --> 01:47:46,932 Speaker 6: being d sex? 2357 01:47:47,973 --> 01:47:48,173 Speaker 10: Yes? 2358 01:47:49,973 --> 01:47:51,412 Speaker 3: There was a years of your miss netmark. 2359 01:47:51,612 --> 01:47:54,213 Speaker 6: Yes, okay, he's been d sex. Do you remember what 2360 01:47:54,293 --> 01:47:55,532 Speaker 6: age he was d sex there? 2361 01:47:58,812 --> 01:48:00,333 Speaker 24: Probably in his first year? 2362 01:48:01,532 --> 01:48:05,132 Speaker 6: Okay? Quite really? So is it now? Right? So normally 2363 01:48:05,333 --> 01:48:07,732 Speaker 6: the most common is he lifting his leg on things? 2364 01:48:07,853 --> 01:48:09,213 Speaker 6: Or is he just being on the ground? 2365 01:48:11,173 --> 01:48:12,052 Speaker 24: I lift this lead? 2366 01:48:13,213 --> 01:48:15,652 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so I suspect he just started doing that 2367 01:48:15,692 --> 01:48:19,133 Speaker 6: when he was entire. That's what we call maturation or 2368 01:48:19,213 --> 01:48:22,892 Speaker 6: leg raising and marking. And it's typical that they'll find 2369 01:48:23,013 --> 01:48:25,852 Speaker 6: scent posts, you know, and that's what he's done here 2370 01:48:25,893 --> 01:48:29,013 Speaker 6: in the bedroom to established the scent post there. So 2371 01:48:29,013 --> 01:48:32,012 Speaker 6: what I want, first of all, generally I keep doors 2372 01:48:32,053 --> 01:48:35,772 Speaker 6: closed a long way away from the central then areas 2373 01:48:35,772 --> 01:48:37,973 Speaker 6: you know, where you spend most of your time. It 2374 01:48:38,133 --> 01:48:41,532 Speaker 6: tends to me in back rooms or downstairs and areas 2375 01:48:41,572 --> 01:48:44,932 Speaker 6: like that that he does it. So it's a person 2376 01:48:45,612 --> 01:48:48,213 Speaker 6: clean that site with one quarter of white vineggar three 2377 01:48:48,293 --> 01:48:52,692 Speaker 6: quarters water and generally exclude him from it. But if 2378 01:48:52,692 --> 01:48:54,973 Speaker 6: you're finding that, if you can't do that, then what 2379 01:48:55,013 --> 01:48:57,572 Speaker 6: I do is a different technique. Is I clip station them. 2380 01:48:57,812 --> 01:48:59,412 Speaker 6: So I teach him to go on a clip station 2381 01:48:59,492 --> 01:49:02,973 Speaker 6: a short lead and as part of his training, and 2382 01:49:02,973 --> 01:49:05,932 Speaker 6: then I clip station them to the site where he marks. 2383 01:49:06,213 --> 01:49:08,293 Speaker 6: He won't mark on the site for his sleep there. 2384 01:49:09,013 --> 01:49:11,652 Speaker 6: I established that of the sleeping site for a little while, 2385 01:49:11,933 --> 01:49:14,293 Speaker 6: just for like half an hour at a time, you know, 2386 01:49:14,412 --> 01:49:16,772 Speaker 6: and he goes, he gets clipped up down there, and 2387 01:49:17,612 --> 01:49:21,372 Speaker 6: that'll decrease the chance of the marking in that area. 2388 01:49:21,492 --> 01:49:24,732 Speaker 6: So I'd use those two techniques. He's an older dog, 2389 01:49:24,853 --> 01:49:26,532 Speaker 6: so it get tends to get a little bit worse 2390 01:49:26,612 --> 01:49:29,173 Speaker 6: as they get older. So that's probably what you're seeing 2391 01:49:29,213 --> 01:49:31,492 Speaker 6: as well. And of course if you had some kind 2392 01:49:31,532 --> 01:49:35,093 Speaker 6: of trauma during that time away, that can also make 2393 01:49:35,133 --> 01:49:39,053 Speaker 6: it worse, obviously, So try that technique in the men 2394 01:49:39,133 --> 01:49:42,652 Speaker 6: time and if it's more complicated, you can always can 2395 01:49:42,732 --> 01:49:45,013 Speaker 6: me call and I'll do a phone concert with you 2396 01:49:45,053 --> 01:49:48,333 Speaker 6: and I can take more detail. Sometimes I need more 2397 01:49:48,372 --> 01:49:50,772 Speaker 6: detail than that to be able to really fine tune 2398 01:49:50,772 --> 01:49:51,532 Speaker 6: a therapy plan. 2399 01:49:51,772 --> 01:49:54,652 Speaker 3: Yep, very good, All the best, Susan A Mike. 2400 01:49:54,853 --> 01:49:56,932 Speaker 2: I've got a text here. My cat, who's still young 2401 01:49:57,812 --> 01:50:01,133 Speaker 2: listener year, always takes a crap in the bar, litle 2402 01:50:01,133 --> 01:50:04,972 Speaker 2: box and both bathrooms and access outside at wits end. 2403 01:50:05,412 --> 01:50:08,572 Speaker 2: As also have three young kids. Cat will be re 2404 01:50:08,652 --> 01:50:11,492 Speaker 2: homed if we can't sort the situation out. I'm not 2405 01:50:11,492 --> 01:50:13,012 Speaker 2: sure if the three kids are going in the bath 2406 01:50:13,013 --> 01:50:13,812 Speaker 2: as well or not. 2407 01:50:15,572 --> 01:50:19,732 Speaker 6: The kids. Okay, it's not uncommon first of all that 2408 01:50:19,893 --> 01:50:24,372 Speaker 6: cats who go in bath and thinks, surprisingly enough, you 2409 01:50:24,412 --> 01:50:26,173 Speaker 6: can't actually teach your cat to go on a toilet, 2410 01:50:26,213 --> 01:50:30,293 Speaker 6: but who won't go into that today? So what we 2411 01:50:30,372 --> 01:50:33,213 Speaker 6: need to re establish is, first of all, is I 2412 01:50:33,333 --> 01:50:36,612 Speaker 6: normally move the little box out and presume the litter 2413 01:50:36,612 --> 01:50:40,533 Speaker 6: boxes in that area, and normally people put them in bathrooms. 2414 01:50:40,893 --> 01:50:43,093 Speaker 6: So if it's if it's at all possible, close the 2415 01:50:43,213 --> 01:50:48,772 Speaker 6: bathroom off, systematically, move the litter box to another room nearby, 2416 01:50:49,572 --> 01:50:52,173 Speaker 6: and re establish himself in a room with no bar 2417 01:50:52,372 --> 01:50:55,532 Speaker 6: in it because of that bath here beside the litter box. 2418 01:50:55,812 --> 01:50:57,532 Speaker 6: He goes in there. He knows he wants to go, 2419 01:50:57,893 --> 01:51:01,092 Speaker 6: and he's making a choice, particularly if the letter box 2420 01:51:01,173 --> 01:51:03,652 Speaker 6: isn't clean, you know, if there's a little yeurine offiece 2421 01:51:03,652 --> 01:51:06,372 Speaker 6: he's in there, then often he'll decide I'll go and 2422 01:51:06,812 --> 01:51:10,053 Speaker 6: I'll jump in the bath. So number one, keep the 2423 01:51:10,093 --> 01:51:13,012 Speaker 6: little box clean, and that can make all the difference. 2424 01:51:13,053 --> 01:51:15,213 Speaker 6: So that'd be the first step. The second step is 2425 01:51:15,213 --> 01:51:18,572 Speaker 6: systematically moving into say the toilet next door or another 2426 01:51:18,652 --> 01:51:24,093 Speaker 6: room just nearby it's suitable, and close that bathroom so 2427 01:51:24,133 --> 01:51:27,173 Speaker 6: he doesn't have access into that for the next four 2428 01:51:27,213 --> 01:51:30,293 Speaker 6: to six weeks, and that he re established himself in 2429 01:51:30,333 --> 01:51:33,412 Speaker 6: that area, and then he shouldn't go if he doesn't 2430 01:51:33,452 --> 01:51:34,492 Speaker 6: have the bath beside him. 2431 01:51:34,612 --> 01:51:35,412 Speaker 2: YEA, very sure. 2432 01:51:35,412 --> 01:51:37,452 Speaker 6: You keep that little box clean, though diet cats are 2433 01:51:37,612 --> 01:51:40,612 Speaker 6: very fussy about the little boxes. Sometimes I'll have two 2434 01:51:40,692 --> 01:51:43,812 Speaker 6: letter boxes if I need to, And that might be 2435 01:51:43,853 --> 01:51:46,293 Speaker 6: another good idea have a second little box and there 2436 01:51:46,293 --> 01:51:47,412 Speaker 6: and I use that instead. 2437 01:51:47,652 --> 01:51:50,892 Speaker 3: That is great. Good luck, dear text. We'll get Ross 2438 01:51:50,933 --> 01:51:54,612 Speaker 3: and before the break Ross, we've got about two minutes. 2439 01:51:54,612 --> 01:51:55,253 Speaker 3: But you're on with. 2440 01:51:55,173 --> 01:52:01,213 Speaker 8: Mark, right, Mark, we've got a minister. Now though she 2441 01:52:01,293 --> 01:52:04,412 Speaker 8: gets it very vocal when someone to approach her, she 2442 01:52:04,492 --> 01:52:09,932 Speaker 8: doesn't know or sometimes does know great where she gets 2443 01:52:09,973 --> 01:52:10,733 Speaker 8: that embarrassing. 2444 01:52:11,532 --> 01:52:14,253 Speaker 6: Yeah, so I teach you know, it will go back 2445 01:52:14,293 --> 01:52:16,932 Speaker 6: to early socializations and the way you meet and greeted 2446 01:52:16,973 --> 01:52:20,172 Speaker 6: people in her early developmental period two to four months 2447 01:52:20,572 --> 01:52:24,173 Speaker 6: and or whoever did that period. So now we go. 2448 01:52:24,492 --> 01:52:26,133 Speaker 6: Now we need to teach her a new meet and 2449 01:52:26,133 --> 01:52:29,053 Speaker 6: greet technique. So I use clicker training for that, and 2450 01:52:29,093 --> 01:52:33,412 Speaker 6: I teach her through click and reward to touch target 2451 01:52:33,492 --> 01:52:38,053 Speaker 6: the visitor's hand, and we do formal meet and greek technique. 2452 01:52:38,452 --> 01:52:42,692 Speaker 6: And so it's a click of training switches into learning state. 2453 01:52:43,013 --> 01:52:46,652 Speaker 6: Click on rewards is for suitable behavior, appropriate behavior, non 2454 01:52:46,732 --> 01:52:50,012 Speaker 6: vocal behavior, and then we can start to reshape her 2455 01:52:50,053 --> 01:52:52,253 Speaker 6: meet and greet. But it's got to be done formally 2456 01:52:52,333 --> 01:52:55,492 Speaker 6: like that. It doesn't take too much effort. If you 2457 01:52:55,572 --> 01:52:57,612 Speaker 6: need to check it out and jump on my website 2458 01:52:57,652 --> 01:52:59,812 Speaker 6: and you'll see the videos on how to do that, 2459 01:53:00,213 --> 01:53:03,173 Speaker 6: and that'll that's the technique that I always use in 2460 01:53:03,173 --> 01:53:05,892 Speaker 6: that situation. They can be a little bit of a 2461 01:53:06,213 --> 01:53:10,452 Speaker 6: kind of a single person, you know, the snousers and 2462 01:53:10,492 --> 01:53:13,772 Speaker 6: as a little bit attached, she needs to broaden her 2463 01:53:13,812 --> 01:53:17,053 Speaker 6: socialization now and using that meet and Greek will do that. 2464 01:53:18,293 --> 01:53:21,213 Speaker 8: Okay, so meet and greet online, Okay. 2465 01:53:21,532 --> 01:53:24,253 Speaker 6: Yeah, just jump on to Mark billingdogs in dot com 2466 01:53:24,293 --> 01:53:27,693 Speaker 6: and it's got a video videos on meet and greet people. 2467 01:53:27,772 --> 01:53:28,652 Speaker 3: All the best for us. 2468 01:53:28,973 --> 01:53:29,532 Speaker 2: Text to here. 2469 01:53:29,572 --> 01:53:32,933 Speaker 3: Mark says, Hi, we have adopted an ex bomb to 2470 01:53:33,053 --> 01:53:35,333 Speaker 3: take dog. He is six years old. Is great, but 2471 01:53:35,372 --> 01:53:37,652 Speaker 3: he has no skills at all, apart from detecting bombs. 2472 01:53:37,692 --> 01:53:39,572 Speaker 3: Of course, when it comes to other dogs. We are 2473 01:53:39,612 --> 01:53:43,692 Speaker 3: wondering if he goes to dog daycare, will that help him? 2474 01:53:43,772 --> 01:53:47,852 Speaker 6: Yeah, So normally bomb detection dogs normally grow up in 2475 01:53:47,893 --> 01:53:51,813 Speaker 6: a pretty cool situation. You know, they're normally will socialized 2476 01:53:51,853 --> 01:53:54,853 Speaker 6: with our dogs. Soll be surprised that he's not socialized. 2477 01:53:55,013 --> 01:53:57,333 Speaker 6: Although the fact that they've got him means that he 2478 01:53:57,412 --> 01:53:59,093 Speaker 6: might have been a foul dog and that might be 2479 01:53:59,173 --> 01:54:04,812 Speaker 6: an issue dog dog aggression. So normally that that technique 2480 01:54:04,853 --> 01:54:08,092 Speaker 6: I just mentioned the meat and greet humans. I mentioned 2481 01:54:08,093 --> 01:54:10,692 Speaker 6: it for the dog. Dog Meet and greet is different, 2482 01:54:11,253 --> 01:54:15,333 Speaker 6: and so he needs to learn to meet and greets. 2483 01:54:15,372 --> 01:54:18,572 Speaker 6: Meet to meet and greet dogs in the appropriate fashion. Again, 2484 01:54:18,612 --> 01:54:22,253 Speaker 6: I use clicker training for that. And so if he's 2485 01:54:22,333 --> 01:54:26,053 Speaker 6: not too bad and is generally reasonably social, then yes, 2486 01:54:26,133 --> 01:54:28,333 Speaker 6: doggie day Q would be good for him. But if 2487 01:54:28,333 --> 01:54:30,333 Speaker 6: he's not that good, and then they're going to need 2488 01:54:30,372 --> 01:54:34,733 Speaker 6: to do a little bit of desentitization work and that 2489 01:54:34,893 --> 01:54:37,613 Speaker 6: doggy meet and greet is the technique I teach. So 2490 01:54:37,772 --> 01:54:40,293 Speaker 6: you can again, you can learn that.
