1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: But now it's the first day of field Days today 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: and thank God for the farmers pulling us out of recession. 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: Ground Swell is using today to ramp up their campaign 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: for New Zealand to quit the Paris Climate Accord. Bryce 5 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: McKenzie's Groundswell's co founder and with us. Now, Hey Bryce good, 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: are you very well? Thank you mate? Why should we 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: quit it? 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 2: Well, simply because it's costing the country a lot of money, 9 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: and that's costing it a lot of farming production. 10 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 3: Here that. 11 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: We all know that because of these agreements that a 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 2: lot of our good farm land is getting planted out 13 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: in trees and that's not good for New Zealand or 14 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: food production going forward. 15 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I tend to agree with you for different reasons. 16 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: I agree with you that we should pull out of this, 17 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,639 Speaker 1: but I don't think we are going to pull out 18 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: of it. Are we until others pull out of it first? 19 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: What do you think? 20 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: Well, look, there is certainly a change in the wind, 21 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: I think, and I think Winston is certainly going to 22 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: look at it and it's going to be more of 23 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,639 Speaker 2: an election issue, I. 24 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 3: Think, than anything else. And we all know that. 25 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: Winston's pretty a student picking where the people are going? 26 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: What is he telling you this behind the scenes. 27 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: He has mentioned that their Paris agreement needs to be 28 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: relocked at, so that could be pretty open ended. 29 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 3: But at least he's open to re looking at it. 30 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: Did he say re looked at? Because relooked at is 31 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: not the same as just pulling out all together, which 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: is what we need to do, isn't it. 33 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: Yes, I know we do. 34 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: We don't need to be However, it's a concession for 35 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: a start that it needs something done, and I guess 36 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: we've just got to use that as a bit of 37 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: a leverage. 38 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: Pricelessen But just for politics. We can't actually be the 39 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: first to pull out because we are so reliant on 40 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: people buying our stuff and it would just look terrible 41 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: if we were if we were accused of being climate 42 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: deniers as a country, So we can't be amongst the 43 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: first to pull out, can we. We sort of have 44 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: to wait for the big guys to go first. 45 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: Well, of course USA has pulled out of it. 46 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's not a good look for them because 47 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: it's the Orange guy doing it. So don't we have 48 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: to wait? Do you know what I mean? Yeah? 49 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, But China, that doesn't have to do anything till 50 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 2: twenty fifty. 51 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're not doing anything. 52 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: So and then we've got India, who is considered to 53 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: be a developing nation, so they don't have to do anything. 54 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 3: Russia's not doing it. Yeah, that's right. 55 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Russia not doing anything. So I think that's 56 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 2: about sixty five percent of worlds and missions. 57 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: I follow your logic and I agree with you, But 58 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying to you is we cannot be amongst 59 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: the first, even though you will be proven right in 60 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: the end when this whole charade falls apart and by 61 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: twenty fifty eight nothing going on here, you will be right, 62 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: Bryce mackenzie, But we cannot be amongst the first to 63 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: pull out, can we? 64 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 3: Yes? 65 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: And I think that's where it is going, that nobody 66 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: wants to be first, and it's going to be like 67 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 2: a deck of cards because of likes of Argentina and 68 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: one or two others go. 69 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: Then I think it'll all start to collect. 70 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: So what makes you think Argentina will be amongst the first. 71 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: Well, they've already made a few sounds that that's the 72 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: way they're going, and we all know that they tend 73 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: to be pretty cobbery with the USA just now, so 74 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 2: there'll be a bit of pressure coming on. 75 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: Okay, So then here's here's the next thing. If we all, 76 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: if those of us who are smart enough to see 77 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: what's coming, can see what's coming, then shouldn't and we 78 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: all know that we can't be amongst the first just 79 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: for political reasons to pull out, Then should farmers start 80 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: right now acting as if the Paris ac qord is over? 81 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: Ooh gee, I guess farmers will do that to some 82 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: extent anyway, Heather, Just how far they can push that, 83 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: I'm not too sure because they farmers really don't get 84 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 2: a lot of say in this because it mainly the 85 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: companies that they farmers deal with that are involved in this. 86 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: So farmers themselves don't get a lot of say. 87 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: Interesting, Hey, is it a good vibe there today? 88 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, actually it is a good vibe. 89 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people around, yes, brilliant. And I 90 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: think I think there'll even be some buying here because 91 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 2: maybe not big ticket items, but who knows. There's certainly 92 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: been a good season for most sheep and bee farmers 93 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: and for dairy farmers, so there will be a little 94 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: bit of money around. 95 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: I think Yeah, brilliant stuff.
