And so 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 3: presumably the White House could push this thing to the 20 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: next phase as quickly as passed. 21 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: And did you hear what happened in the White house yesterday. 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: You had been Salmon there from the Saudi Crown Prince 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: and they were talking about Jamal Kashoji, who obviously was killed, 24 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: and the US intelligence said it may or may not 25 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: have been at the direction of Ben Salmon. 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 4: Who you were.

As far as this gentleman is concerned, he's 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 4: done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 4: A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're 30 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him. 31 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 4: Things happened, but he knew nothing about it, and we 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 4: can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass 33 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 4: our guests by asking a question like that. 34 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: Let's go to the UK. So this is on the 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: border of UK waters, on the edge of UK waters. 36 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: The Russians are firing lasers at RAF pilots who are 37 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: monitoring their activities. This is on the Yanta entered UK 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: waters for the second time this year. 39 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: So our message to Russia and to put In is this, 40 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: we see you, we know what you're doing, and if 41 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: the Jantar troubles south this. 42 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 5: Week, we are ready. 43 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: The first word on the News of the Day Early 44 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: edition with Ryan Bridge and r V super explore r 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: v's accessories and servicing all in one. 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: You that sounded ominous, didn't it? What exactly are they 47 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: ready for? What are they going to do? What does 48 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: that threat mean? Nine two and number text just gone 49 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: eight minutes after five. Now we've had a couple of 50 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: awards in the last few days, which to me don't 51 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: make a lot of sense. I mean, unless you accept 52 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: that they're basically just They're not really awards, they're just 53 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: gimmick gongs, which is probably what they are. One of 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: them was for smoking, and one of them was for 55 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: climate change, you know, at the meeting at cop Over 56 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 2: in Brazil where fifty thousand wannabes jump on a plane 57 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: and use adgas to fly to or a place to 58 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: talk about climate change and then achieve nothing. That thing 59 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: they gave us the Fossil of the Day award. Now, 60 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: this is interesting because wouldn't someone like Trump get it, 61 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: or China or India or one of the bigger missions. No, 62 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: we got it, apparently, and because of our methane changes. 63 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: But if you look at our numbers, our emissions for 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: New Zealand have gone down in the last year. So 65 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: why are we getting a fossil award? Because they don't 66 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: like the coalition government. That's why another one we got yesterday, 67 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: This is the ash Tray of the Dirty ash Tray award. 68 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: And who did we get this award from? Well, a 69 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: meeting of parties to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control 70 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: in Geneva. Honestly how boring. But this again flies in 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: the face of the numbers. Smoking rates have reduced to 72 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: six point eight percent. Smoking rates for fifteen to twenty 73 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: four year olds is three point two percent. That's down 74 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: from nearly twenty about thirteen years ago. Casey Costelli put 75 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: a thing out on this yesterday and the third lowest 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: smoking rate in the OECD. So why do we get 77 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: this award? Why do we get this gimmick gong. Well, 78 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: because they don't like the Coalition government and that there's 79 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: been headlines and I think this is what these awards 80 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: go on, is just headlines and vibes and fuels those 81 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: changes that they made to tax breaks for headed to 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: tobacco products. The headline is subsidy for tobacco industry. Well, actually, 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: what it's doing is getting people off darts and darts 84 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 2: are worse than vapes, and darts are worse than anything 85 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: else that you could put in your mouth, basically when 86 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: it comes to smoking products. So I don't know. Do 87 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: we listen to these awards? No, we don't. Ten minutes 88 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: after five, Bryan Bredge Now the cook Straight Fairies a 89 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: couple of questions for ferry holdings this morning. They're on 90 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: the show just before six o'clock. So they've put in 91 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: here some costs for upgrading. So the ships are five 92 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety six million dollars, thank you very much. 93 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: The picked in works they say will cost five hundred 94 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: and thirty one million dollars and the Wellington side will 95 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 2: be three hundred and twenty five million dollars. How have 96 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: they come up with those? Because that's this part of it. 97 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: Remember the costs blowout the eighty percent that was on 98 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: the land side infrastructure, the port, not the fairies themselves. 99 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 2: So how they got these numbers? Are we confident in 100 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: these numbers? And who's going to do the contract. We'll 101 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: look at puberty blockers. Next, news talk semb. 102 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on Iheard Radio Early Edition 103 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: with Ryan Bridge and are the Supercenter explore r V 104 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: his accessories and servicing All than One News TALKSB. 105 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 2: Five thirteen at five twenty five, I have more on 106 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 2: the new numbers on the economy out this morning. Confidence up. 107 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: This is asb's investor confidence survey for quarter three. Confidences 108 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 2: up nine percent. Net investor confidence now ten percent. That's 109 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: up from one percent last quarter. Big pickup. Auckland up 110 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: to sixteen percent. And it's interesting what's happening with the 111 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: perceptions of what's a good investment, what's not a good investment. 112 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: People used to say property one hundred percent, yap, let's 113 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: go for it, and sure that is still the number one, 114 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: but it's now property. The perception of property as a reliable, 115 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: you know, return on investment is now its lowest point 116 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen, which I think reflects the fact that 117 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: house prices haven't been going anywhere or going south, while 118 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: stock markets have been going up. And young people wait 119 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: for this under thirty surveyed very focused on the stock markets. 120 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: Confidence has lifted significantly over the pass quarter, jumping to 121 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 2: twenty one percent compared to thirteen percent in the previous quarter. 122 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: Gen Z loves the stock, loves the shears. It's fourteen 123 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: after five yan Bridge governments banned puberty block abscriptions for 124 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 2: new patients.

They say 127 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: this is about safety. Dame Sue Bagshaw is School of Medicine, 128 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: University of Otago, christ Church. Dame Sue, good morning, Good morning, 129 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: Good to have you on the show. Are these drugs safe? 130 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 6: Well, the experience we've had so far of the last 131 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 6: ten twenty years has been that they're very safe, They're reversible, 132 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 6: and I think obviously we always need to be aware 133 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 6: of safety. We always need to be aware of the 134 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 6: pros and cons of any medicine we've prescribed. But it 135 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 6: seems sad that politicians get involved in something that really 136 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 6: should be a health issue. 137 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: Is the health issue being sorted though? I mean, are 138 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: we giving out drugs that aren't safe? Why it was 139 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: the UK doing this study into the safety of them. 140 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: Why are our bureaucrats saying we can't say that they 141 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: are safe. 142 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 6: That's a very good question and I wondered about myself 143 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 6: because we have no evidence either way. What we do 144 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 6: we have some evidence so that they're pretty safe and 145 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 6: we have had no disasters so far, compared with things 146 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 6: like aspirin, which is pretty unsafe and you can buy 147 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 6: that over the counter. So, you know, I think it's 148 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 6: a it's a worry that we're getting political influences on 149 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 6: what could be a very life saving medicine. 150 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: So the Ministry of Education, the sorry, the Ministry of 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: Health here in New Zealand, the UK, you know, the NHS. 152 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: The concerns that have been raised by government bureaucrats around 153 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: the world. You're saying they're being politicized. 154 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 6: I do gender is a social construct and I think 155 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 6: social influences are being brought to there names. 156 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 2: Sue Bergshaw, appreciate your time. This morning, School of Medicine 157 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: at the University of Antigo, christ Church.

Kirston disagrees with what 163 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: Sue Bagshaw just told us. Ryan children shouldn't be given 164 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: puberty blockers. I agree with the government on this one. 165 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: They aren't saying they won't be available just when these 166 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: kids are eighteen or over. In fact, they're not even 167 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: saying that. They're saying they will be available if proven 168 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: safe by this UK study to those under the age 169 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: of eighteen. So it's not even as bad as perhaps 170 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: you thought.

Mement joins me, Now, Steve, good morning, 189 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: good morning, right, good to have you on the show. 190 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: So this is working? 191 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. I mean we saw an instant I suppose 192 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 5: you call it from our students as we implemented the ban. 193 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 5: It changed things in our school overnight. And it's glad 194 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 5: to see the reports highlighted that as well in. 195 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: Your school because it talks in the report about teachers 196 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 2: not enforcing the ban and if the best thing you 197 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 2: can do to have the band be effective is to 198 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: enforce it, do you have teachers who don't enforce it. 199 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 5: We look, our staff are amazing in terms of being 200 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 5: able to force things, and I think that comes down 201 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 5: to having solid systems in place for each school. I 202 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 5: know that teachers have individual opinions and things, but this 203 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 5: is a mandated thing from our government and you see 204 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 5: from the report that it's working as. 205 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: Well, Steve, is what happens is it just in the 206 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: classroom and the learning where behavior is getting better, or 207 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: does it spill over into other you know, into the playground. 208 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 5: It schools over everywhere. I mean you've phone free from 209 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 5: the time you enter the school gate to the time 210 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 5: you leave. So yeah, everything's improved in terms of this 211 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 5: particular initiative from the government, and it's been really positive rightan, 212 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 5: But I'm supposed the biggest concern that we see is, 213 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 5: you know, at the end of each school day in 214 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 5: across any school in the country, as you're driving past, 215 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 5: I'm sure you'll be able to see them automatically reach 216 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 5: down and try and get that instant social media or 217 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 5: phone facts as they're walking out the school gate at 218 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 5: three thirty every day. 219 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, which I mean is going to happen the smart watches. 220 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: When did this happen? Everyone was like, oh, they'll just 221 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: get smart watches and they'll get laptops and they'll do 222 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: is that way? Are you seeing that? Yeah? 223 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 5: And I think that's come through in the report as well, 224 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 5: hasn't it. It's that's possibly the next iteration where you know, 225 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 5: students aren't stupid and they really do want to stay connected, 226 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 5: and I get that, but yeah, the smart watches, the 227 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 5: ability to connect via their laptops or chromebox or whatever, 228 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 5: it is still a possible issue that schools are facing 229 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 5: as well. 230 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: And Steve, when you know, when it comes to why 231 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 2: who they're messaging? Are they messaging each other? Because it 232 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: says in the report a lot of the kids reckon 233 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: they're messaging their family. Do you reckon that's just to 234 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: be as you know, I'm messaging my mom like it's 235 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: a lie? Or are they actually in which case, what 236 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: are the parents doing? 237 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 5: Well, that's a fantastic question, Ryan, But I think that 238 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 5: the students are pretty honest and the one and from 239 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 5: what I understand it is a bit of parent education 240 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 5: needed as well just around. You know, kids are safe 241 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 5: at school and they're doing pretty well at school, as 242 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 5: the report finds as well, and you know, there is 243 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 5: some education needed possibly around on how to connect or 244 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 5: communicate with their students during the school day. But I 245 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 5: mean most schools, I think all the schools that I've 246 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 5: spoken to in particular, have solid systems in place where 247 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 5: if a parent needs to contact the student during the day, 248 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 5: they call the office and the message goes through to them. 249 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 5: But yeah, it's still a need I suppose for parents 250 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: in the report that says we still want to connect 251 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 5: with our kids. But yeah, the phone free during the day. 252 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 5: You're seeing your kid up to fail if that happens. 253 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: Steve mccrack and Fungapo College principle, appreciate your time this 254 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 2: morning twenty three after five, Bryan Bridge, just do you 255 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: need to have constant contact with your children? Just leave 256 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: them alone? Are there to learn and you can see 257 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: them after school? What is wrong with people? Very quickly, 258 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: this is mam Nami over in New York. He's now 259 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 2: fundraising because he's finished the campaign. Obviously he's won, he's 260 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: the mayor of New York City, but he still wants 261 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: more money. Wants four million American dollars. 262 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 7: A lot of these things are here. One of them 263 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 7: is pretty odd funds. Well, why are we find raising? Well, 264 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 7: we have less than fifty d's until we take We 265 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 7: have a lot to do. We have to vet the 266 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 7: fifty thousand resumes we've received, thank you. We have to 267 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 7: keep paying our incredible team, thank you, and we have 268 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 7: to plan not to start inauguration. But our policy implementation now, 269 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 7: unlike the campaign, transitions do not get public matching funds 270 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 7: from the city. So that eight to one match gone. 271 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 7: It's up to us to resume money. 272 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: Ye, So he wants four million dollars for goodness to 273 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: go through a bunch of resumes. I mean, honestly, I 274 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: thought this was about public service. Twenty four after five 275 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: the early. 276 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: Edition full show podcast on IARM Radio Power It by newstalksippy. 277 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 2: Five twenty six on your Thursday morning. We've got a 278 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 2: bunch of new economic numbers this morning. Recovery is underway finally. 279 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: We've had a few false storms before, as you know, 280 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: so I'm not going to overcook this, but things are 281 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: moving in the right direction. Investor confidence is up for 282 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: quarter three. Most regions are now getting a slice of 283 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: the recovery action, not just the provinces. This is according 284 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 2: to Informetrics this morning. What's most interesting is investor confidence 285 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: led by Auckland there is up quite a bit, and 286 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: they're not worrying so much about all the dramatic headlines 287 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: from Trump. They're basically shrugging them off. And our attitudes 288 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 2: to different types of investments are changing. The proportion of 289 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: us who see owning your own home as the best 290 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: investment is now at its lowest level since twenty fifteen, 291 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: and young people are loving the stocks, which is no surprise. 292 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: The SMP's up almost fourteen percent this year. House prices 293 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 2: are falling off flat, which might help explain why the 294 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: mood on capital gains seems to have shifted a little bit. 295 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: But here's the thing with the capital gains. It will 296 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: not lower house prices. It will not fix the structural deficit. Yes, 297 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: it will provide tax revenue for doctor's visits. Sure, but 298 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: can those doctors' visits be delivered or just advertised in 299 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: some brochure like key we build? And to those who 300 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: are enjoying success with stocks, congratulations, your gains aren't taxed? Property? 301 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: Is the Canarian the coal mine? Surely it's a warning 302 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: of more to come. Give a politician an inch and 303 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: they will take a mile. Look at the fundamentals of this. 304 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: The capital gains tax won't fix the stuff you would 305 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: expect it to fix, and still leaves the state short 306 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: of revenue. So they will eventually, sure, as night follows day, 307 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: come for something else, and that's something else will be 308 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: whatever's popular in this case today, stocks bread rich News 309 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: Talk twenty eight minutes after five. Did you hear Trump 310 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: yesterday in the House, sorry, in the Oval office talking 311 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: to reporters and he called one of them piggy. Quiet. Now, 312 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: I'll just play that one more time in case you 313 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: didn't get it, give you a second. Quiet Quiet is quiet? 314 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: Quiet Peggy? Now the woman. I haven't actually googled the 315 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: woman he was talking to, but I'm assuming it's a 316 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: Bloomberg reporter. But I'm assuming that they were maybe a 317 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: little on the heavy aside. I'm oh, she's not McKenzie 318 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: say terrible or something. She's hot, says okay, so she's not. 319 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: So why was he calling her piggy in the first place? Yeah, exactly, 320 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 2: this is great updates from Kensey. In my ear, he 321 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 2: was going at her, But why piggy particular? Anyway, people 322 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: are saying it's a sexist thing. And if you go 323 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 2: back and look at his especially on the campaign trail, 324 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 2: he used to call men piggies all the time, lazy 325 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 2: pigs lying on the couch. He'd say to the wives, 326 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: get your lazy peg husbands off the couch and out 327 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: to vote. So is it a sexist thing?

This is to 415 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 12: waive a one hundred and fifty dollars fine for driving 416 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 12: in a bus lane. Police told him to do this 417 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 12: because what had happened was at last month's police they 418 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 12: were redirecting traffic not far from here, actually in the CBD, 419 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 12: there was a three vehicle crash last month resulted in 420 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 12: the closure of Victoria Street West. So Raoul the motorist, 421 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 12: he was driving away and then police were redirecting people 422 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 12: and then they see to him, look rush hour off, 423 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 12: you go, you can go through this, you know, bus lane. 424 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 12: And he did that. He got a fine. And so 425 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 12: what he did was that he provided the police incident 426 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 12: number when he was disputing it, and then at rejected 427 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 12: the disputancy. They didn't give a clear reason why, but 428 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 12: w no, you've got to pay. You've got to pay 429 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 12: one hundred and fifty dollars. 430 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: And then only where the media gets involved, yes, the media, 431 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 2: the Herald got bugs. And also but even once they 432 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 2: did reverse it eventually, once the Herald got involved, they 433 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 2: still put in the statement. They said, well, yes he 434 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: did go and he went in the bus lane, and 435 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 2: it was because of the police. But there was an 436 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: opportunity for him to turn out of the bus lane 437 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 2: earlier than he did. Honestly, he didn't. He didn't plan 438 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: to go down there. The police send him down there. 439 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 2: There was an accident.

Will everything be 498 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 13: released or is the DOJ going to say that certain 499 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 13: files can't be made public due to ongoing investigations. President 500 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 13: Trump just the other week had called for the DOJ 501 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 13: to investigate democrats linked to Jeffrey Epstein like former President 502 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 13: Bill Clinton. 503 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: Now Nicki Mina asked very quickly, why is she getting 504 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 2: involved with the Nigeria situation. 505 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 13: Yeah, so she was at the United Nations the other 506 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 13: day or yesterday actually speaking on this issue, sort of 507 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 13: repeating President Trump's contested claims that Christians are being systematically 508 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 13: persecuted in Nigeria. She gave this five minute speech and 509 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 13: in this speech she really warned of deadly threats faced 510 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 13: by Christians in the country. And she also praised President 511 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 13: Trump for highlighting this issue because earlier this month, Trump 512 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 13: threatened to deploy US troops to Nigeria, in his words, 513 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 13: guns ablazing to end what he is claiming is this 514 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 13: mass slaughter of Christians at the hands of Islamist insurgents, 515 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 13: I mean Nigeria has been fighting the sixteen year war 516 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 13: against Bokoharam and Islamic State and tens of thousands of 517 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 13: people have been killed. But the independent Conflict Monitoring Group 518 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 13: AKHLED says that only a small percentage of the attacks 519 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 13: have been religiously motivated and that both Christians and Muslims 520 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 13: have been targeted in these attacks. But she is coming 521 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 13: out out saying that she wants Christians to be defended, 522 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 13: to be protected in Nigeria. 523 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Tony Wadom and our US correspondent eleven 524 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: away from six Chairry announcement. Bit light on detail about 525 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: the land side construction costs. That's the part that blew 526 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: out acourse some of the original Irex project. Not the 527 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: cost of the vessels themselves. Winston Peters reckons overall will 528 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 2: save two point three billion bucks or thereabouts. Chris McKenzie 529 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 2: is chair of Ferry Holdings Limited with me this morning. Chris, 530 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning. So do we have any where 531 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: have those estimates come from for the infrastry, you know, 532 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: the land side infrastructure. 533 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 14: We have done a considerable amount of work with both 534 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 14: Picton and Wellington. We have identified as as probably you've 535 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 14: seen the chart no doubt of the drawing to the 536 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 14: two ports. We have determined the cost of the wharf 537 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 14: that's being demolished and then replaced in Pecton, so we 538 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 14: have a rough costing of that. We have a rough 539 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 14: costing now of the other what's called the nesting structure 540 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 14: where the fairies are reverse into and we are going 541 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 14: out shortly again with a rough costing on the link 542 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 14: spans both in Wellington and Picton, and just as an aside, 543 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 14: that's one of the ways in which we are making 544 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 14: some savings. We're now going to have link spans in 545 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 14: Wellington and Picton which are essentially the same, whereas previously 546 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 14: under IRAQX there's a link span being built for Picton 547 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 14: and there's a link spand being built for Wellington. So 548 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 14: we are saving some money by getting identical link spans 549 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 14: in both Victon and Wellington. 550 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: It's all of it boo tricky, But the cost of them, 551 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: I mean you're saying rough costs and people at home 552 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 2: will be going, oh, well, I've heard this before, because 553 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: remember how much this project was meant to cost to 554 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: begin with, and then what it was going to end 555 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: up costing, and most of that was landside of eighty 556 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 2: percent of it was chewed up by land side. So 557 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: how you know, how come and how we look. 558 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 14: I think I am more confident than we were with Irax. 559 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 14: And the reason I can say that is we have 560 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 14: identified exactly what is the work we are doing in 561 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 14: both Wellington and Pickton. The ports have agreed with that work. 562 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 14: And therefore one of IREX's issues was we're going to 563 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 14: put a temporary wolf here. Oh, we'll need to do 564 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 14: this in roading, and we'll have to shift the rail 565 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 14: yard here and there and so forth. In this project, 566 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 14: because we're using a maximum reuse, we don't have to 567 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 14: shift railway yards, we don't have to shift roading. All 568 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 14: we are doing is building the structure for the wharves 569 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 14: that the vessels will come in the existing rail yards, 570 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 14: and Pickton and Wellington will need to be just tweaked 571 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 14: where they connect with the new vessels, and apart from that, 572 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 14: we're not diverging from that at all. So we have 573 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 14: a set engineering project in both Wellington and Pickton, and 574 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 14: as a board we are not going to deviate from that. 575 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 14: You still be people who say, oh, yeah, but if 576 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 14: we put this over here, we could do such and such. 577 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 14: We are not going down that track. We are going 578 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 14: exactly as the plans that were in that release yesterday 579 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 14: and nothing else. 580 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 2: Chris appreciate it and hopefully we will see this thing 581 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: getting off the ground soon. The Ferry's not coming till 582 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine, Chris McKenzie, Chair of Ferry Holdings Limited. 583 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: It's eight to six News Talks here b. Mike's here, next. 584 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth 585 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and r V supersetor 586 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: explore r v's accessories and servicing. 587 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 2: Fall than one News Talks' B sixty six was interesting 588 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 2: listening to Faerry Holding's share just then about what the 589 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 2: costs are going, well, what they think the cost will 590 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: be do they actually know? Though lots of text on 591 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: this Andy says run A lot of the piling in 592 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 2: Wellington won't now be needed to be done for the 593 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: new birth because the ships are much smaller, which is true, 594 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of earthquake stuff that had to 595 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 2: be done because they were bigger ships, and now we 596 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: have smaller ships. Even though they're more expensive, smaller ships, 597 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 2: they will be cheaper to park. Five to six now 598 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: and Mike's here for the coming three hours. Mike, good morning. 599 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 15: Have you been at this game? So he's here for 600 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 15: the the same every day. Ryan, that's the breakfast show 601 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 15: six or one. 602 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: You look, you look quite depressed. Three hours. It's just this. 603 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 15: One of the things that holds us back in this 604 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 15: country is this myopic obsession we have with with with 605 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 15: sort of detail. I mean, so what happened was he's 606 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 15: gone and got two ships. Problem solved. He saved us 607 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 15: some money beginning middle an end, right. The ships are 608 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 15: bigger than the ones we have currently. 609 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: But not bigger than the ones we were going to get. 610 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 2: We never got those. No, we never got that. 611 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 15: It's like saying, look, I was going to bring in 612 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 15: sixteen Titanics. 613 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 2: Never happened. What's the point. 614 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 15: Yeah, but it's what never happened doesn't matter the problem. 615 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: I don't care about any of that. The only thing 616 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 2: I care about is they've said it's going to cost 617 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 2: X y Z for them. That's saying for everything, no exactly, 618 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 2: which has buildings. But that's how we got in the 619 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 2: situation in the first place. It wasn't the cost of 620 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 2: the ferries. That's not the point. The point is the infrastructure. 621 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: They believe the cost. 622 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 15: I don't believe the cost that they say in this 623 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 15: country at the start of a project on anything, because 624 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 15: the record shows that there are very few, if any 625 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 15: projects that we've ever entered to see r Els classic example, 626 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 15: up at six billions started. 627 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: At two and a half. So if this project ends 628 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: up costing more than the I REX project, that would 629 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: be hugely embarrassing. 630 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 15: No, because the I REX project, because it never happened. 631 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 15: You don't know it got to four point two on 632 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 15: the est what would it have been. Don't know what 633 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,479 Speaker 15: I'm saying. I'm not enjoying you, Ryan, I'm not enjoying 634 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 15: you this morning. We'll talk a bit about that the way. 635 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 15: The other question is all the vaping and the smoking. 636 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 15: Why is the government involved in that? You know, when 637 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 15: we go, if you decide to smoke, called bath, isn't 638 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 15: that your choice? 639 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 2: Is your tice? You know what I'm saying, It is 640 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 2: your truth. And there's bugger all left are doing it? 641 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 2: Six point eight percent. All right, I've got to breakfast 642 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 2: show start. Hopefully you'll enjoy me tomorrow.
