You know, some items aren't even 216 00:09:52,093 --> 00:09:54,612 Speaker 6: near that value. So it's the only thing I'll put 217 00:09:54,653 --> 00:09:56,492 Speaker 6: it down to is pueling and simply cost. 218 00:09:57,012 --> 00:09:58,053 Speaker 3: Have you gone somewhere else? 219 00:09:58,293 --> 00:10:01,453 Speaker 5: Rob?

You know, 225 00:10:17,053 --> 00:10:19,493 Speaker 3: cheaper but potentially more issues. 226 00:10:21,453 --> 00:10:21,653 Speaker 1: Yeah. 227 00:10:21,693 --> 00:10:23,413 Speaker 5: Look, we're in a smaller provincial town. 228 00:10:23,573 --> 00:10:26,292 Speaker 8: We we haven't had to date any issues with it, 229 00:10:28,813 --> 00:10:29,293 Speaker 8: but it's. 230 00:10:29,333 --> 00:10:30,853 Speaker 5: It's a it's a fraction of the price. 231 00:10:30,973 --> 00:10:32,573 Speaker 6: So he why we use it? 232 00:10:33,053 --> 00:10:37,333 Speaker 3: Are you using it professionally or in an amateur capacity? 233 00:10:37,453 --> 00:10:37,612 Speaker 5: Rob? 234 00:10:39,093 --> 00:10:42,973 Speaker 6: I was professionally used cars, but now but nowadays, no, 235 00:10:43,053 --> 00:10:45,893 Speaker 6: it's just an amateur amateur way now. 236 00:10:46,612 --> 00:10:49,012 Speaker 3: So would that be all it took for you to 237 00:10:49,093 --> 00:10:51,532 Speaker 3: go back to trade me? Would be a lowering of 238 00:10:51,612 --> 00:10:53,813 Speaker 3: the fees? I mean, what is the feed feed situation 239 00:10:53,973 --> 00:10:55,492 Speaker 3: on marketplace? Is no fees? 240 00:10:55,573 --> 00:10:59,093 Speaker 5: Right? No, there is a fee. 241 00:11:00,173 --> 00:11:02,373 Speaker 6: I'm not sure what it is exactly now, but yeah, 242 00:11:02,372 --> 00:11:05,533 Speaker 6: it's just I think trade me simply priced themselves off 243 00:11:05,573 --> 00:11:06,213 Speaker 6: the marketplace. 244 00:11:06,492 --> 00:11:06,813 Speaker 5: M hm. 245 00:11:07,693 --> 00:11:09,813 Speaker 2: So I'm just even look at the fees now, Robs. 246 00:11:09,892 --> 00:11:12,292 Speaker 2: So if it's more than a buck, which is most 247 00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:15,132 Speaker 2: things on there obviously, so it's almost eight percent of 248 00:11:15,492 --> 00:11:18,372 Speaker 2: the item price. I mean that is pretty high. When 249 00:11:18,413 --> 00:11:20,892 Speaker 2: did they start ramping that up? I'm not a big 250 00:11:20,973 --> 00:11:23,493 Speaker 2: trade meet user. Did it start off a lot lower 251 00:11:23,533 --> 00:11:23,693 Speaker 2: than that? 252 00:11:23,773 --> 00:11:24,172 Speaker 5: I take it? 253 00:11:25,612 --> 00:11:25,732 Speaker 6: Oh? 254 00:11:25,852 --> 00:11:26,772 Speaker 9: Absolutely, yeah it was. 255 00:11:26,933 --> 00:11:29,652 Speaker 6: It was very cheap many years ago. I think it 256 00:11:29,732 --> 00:11:33,133 Speaker 6: started wrapping up about would have been from say five 257 00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:35,173 Speaker 6: years ago, five six years ago. 258 00:11:36,813 --> 00:11:39,813 Speaker 2: And you haven't found yourself scammed on Facebook marketplace obviously, 259 00:11:39,892 --> 00:11:42,492 Speaker 2: that's concern for a lot of people. You haven't had 260 00:11:42,492 --> 00:11:44,973 Speaker 2: anyone or the airmen involved, you know, people saying that 261 00:11:45,012 --> 00:11:46,973 Speaker 2: they're interested and then they never show up none of that. 262 00:11:48,573 --> 00:11:50,333 Speaker 10: Yeah, no, no today touch would no. 263 00:11:51,053 --> 00:11:53,252 Speaker 2: Okay, you've had a good run, Rob, thank you very much. 264 00:11:53,453 --> 00:11:53,693 Speaker 11: Okay. 265 00:11:53,773 --> 00:11:56,893 Speaker 3: So I don't understand Facebook Marketplace then, because I thought 266 00:11:56,973 --> 00:12:00,093 Speaker 3: there was zero fees for listing items and you know, 267 00:12:00,372 --> 00:12:05,653 Speaker 3: messaging buyers and arranging transfers and pickups of its local 268 00:12:05,892 --> 00:12:07,453 Speaker 3: in person sales. 269 00:12:07,533 --> 00:12:10,252 Speaker 2: That's what I thought too. Yeah, I'm just trying to 270 00:12:10,333 --> 00:12:12,772 Speaker 2: find some information here about whether they charge if you 271 00:12:12,892 --> 00:12:16,453 Speaker 2: can confirm that, I eight hundred eighty ten eighty, but 272 00:12:16,533 --> 00:12:19,813 Speaker 2: I've never seen anybody pay for old marketplace. Nine two 273 00:12:19,892 --> 00:12:21,573 Speaker 2: ninety two is the text. 274 00:12:22,012 --> 00:12:26,813 Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's a PayPal fee, is there?

I thought Facebook, if it was just local 277 00:12:34,293 --> 00:12:36,573 Speaker 3: in person sales, was a zero p of cent fee, 278 00:12:36,612 --> 00:12:39,213 Speaker 3: but not according to Rob. 279 00:12:39,533 --> 00:12:42,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, O one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 280 00:12:42,293 --> 00:12:44,892 Speaker 2: to call.

But 282 00:12:47,213 --> 00:12:48,852 Speaker 2: love to hear from you if you've stopped using trade 283 00:12:48,892 --> 00:12:50,412 Speaker 2: me why and what do they need to do? 284 00:12:50,732 --> 00:12:54,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, and educate me on Facebook Marketplace because it sounds 285 00:12:54,533 --> 00:12:56,172 Speaker 3: like my knowledge is lack anger. 286 00:12:57,492 --> 00:13:01,613 Speaker 1: The headlines and the hard questions. It's the mic asking breakfast. 287 00:13:01,813 --> 00:13:04,973 Speaker 12: Questions are of course being raised about possible intelligence failings. 288 00:13:05,012 --> 00:13:05,132 Speaker 1: Now. 289 00:13:05,213 --> 00:13:07,573 Speaker 12: Doctor Michael Zaculm is the senior lecturer of Terrorism and 290 00:13:07,653 --> 00:13:10,652 Speaker 12: Radicalization at the Australian National University. And you deciding he 291 00:13:10,852 --> 00:13:13,772 Speaker 12: was not a threat in retrospect was a massive misjudgment. 292 00:13:13,852 --> 00:13:14,893 Speaker 1: How did they get it so wrong? 293 00:13:15,093 --> 00:13:17,172 Speaker 13: Well, you have to take into account the fact and 294 00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:20,573 Speaker 13: they're probably watching dozens and dozens of people, so basically 295 00:13:20,892 --> 00:13:23,372 Speaker 13: you have to make decisions about who you believe is 296 00:13:23,453 --> 00:13:26,252 Speaker 13: the most relevant threat at that time, and in this case, 297 00:13:26,612 --> 00:13:30,213 Speaker 13: he didn't meet that criteria. And unfortunately this is something 298 00:13:30,252 --> 00:13:31,813 Speaker 13: that we've seen time and time again. 299 00:13:32,132 --> 00:13:35,772 Speaker 1: After these individuals are known hither duples. See Ellen on 300 00:13:35,852 --> 00:13:39,132 Speaker 1: the mic asking breakfast back tomorrow at six am with 301 00:13:39,453 --> 00:13:42,013 Speaker 1: a Vida retirement Communities on news talks. 302 00:13:42,053 --> 00:13:44,333 Speaker 2: He'd be a bit early there, twenty four past one. 303 00:13:44,413 --> 00:13:46,413 Speaker 2: Trade me. He's had another tough year on the financials 304 00:13:46,453 --> 00:13:49,053 Speaker 2: in terms of revenue, which seems to indicate people are 305 00:13:49,173 --> 00:13:52,652 Speaker 2: leaving that particular marketplace. If that's you and you've left, 306 00:13:52,813 --> 00:13:54,573 Speaker 2: why and what do they need to do to change 307 00:13:54,892 --> 00:13:57,892 Speaker 2: rob is full of misinformation, says this Texter. Marketplace is 308 00:13:57,973 --> 00:14:01,453 Speaker 2: free but full of time wastes and scams. Trade me 309 00:14:01,773 --> 00:14:07,213 Speaker 2: is a percentage, not an exorbitant fee like he states Facebook. 310 00:14:07,372 --> 00:14:11,173 Speaker 2: Marketplace definitely fees mostly done in cash or electronic transfer 311 00:14:11,372 --> 00:14:14,093 Speaker 2: to sell us is shorn. It's good to clarify. I 312 00:14:14,132 --> 00:14:16,732 Speaker 2: thought that was the case, Ben, How are you, mate, 313 00:14:17,333 --> 00:14:20,413 Speaker 2: jilt Hey, here we go good good trade me. 314 00:14:20,773 --> 00:14:24,853 Speaker 5: So, yeah, trading, So we use trading as everyone else does. 315 00:14:25,413 --> 00:14:29,173 Speaker 5: But I think that we're a bit reluctant. We'll not reluctant. 316 00:14:29,213 --> 00:14:30,893 Speaker 5: We have to use them because that's the only choice 317 00:14:30,933 --> 00:14:34,573 Speaker 5: we've got. It's a bit frustrating when every twelve months 318 00:14:35,373 --> 00:14:39,853 Speaker 5: they put up our wholesale price of the services we provide, 319 00:14:40,933 --> 00:14:43,413 Speaker 5: and I know that, you know, they keep ramping up 320 00:14:43,453 --> 00:14:47,453 Speaker 5: the fees on the consumer side as well. So a 321 00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:51,573 Speaker 5: ten million dollar different income. That's pretty messive. But you 322 00:14:51,613 --> 00:14:55,333 Speaker 5: can see why consumers are getting pissed off and changing 323 00:14:55,933 --> 00:14:58,373 Speaker 5: to the likes of Marketplace, which is free, as we 324 00:14:58,453 --> 00:15:02,172 Speaker 5: all know. But the problem marketplace faces is all the 325 00:15:02,253 --> 00:15:05,933 Speaker 5: schemes and the un verified users, which is a real problem. 326 00:15:06,773 --> 00:15:10,493 Speaker 5: So I suppose trade me does provide that trust layer. 327 00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:14,213 Speaker 5: But this until now, there's no real other option. 328 00:15:14,653 --> 00:15:17,133 Speaker 3: For you because it sounds it sounds like you're running 329 00:15:17,213 --> 00:15:19,813 Speaker 3: this as a business, am I am I right? 330 00:15:20,573 --> 00:15:23,453 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, correct, yeah, correct, And when you look at 331 00:15:23,613 --> 00:15:28,013 Speaker 5: other businesses, you know there is a very good case 332 00:15:28,173 --> 00:15:35,052 Speaker 5: to provide an alternative. But you need to provide a 333 00:15:36,013 --> 00:15:40,773 Speaker 5: verified trust layer in there, and that's that's the big 334 00:15:40,893 --> 00:15:44,253 Speaker 5: opportunity I think at the moment. But again you're going 335 00:15:44,333 --> 00:15:46,733 Speaker 5: to need a serious amount of cash to do that. 336 00:15:47,053 --> 00:15:52,373 Speaker 5: So you want to so ultimately a platform that provides 337 00:15:52,533 --> 00:15:57,813 Speaker 5: consumers a free place to market household goods that they 338 00:15:58,093 --> 00:16:01,733 Speaker 5: are inside the house, with a trust layer where you 339 00:16:01,813 --> 00:16:06,613 Speaker 5: can verify the identity of each person, and then at 340 00:16:06,653 --> 00:16:11,253 Speaker 5: the same time provide low cost option for businesses to 341 00:16:11,413 --> 00:16:18,093 Speaker 5: advertise products alongside those consumer products. So let's teach your product. 342 00:16:18,173 --> 00:16:21,253 Speaker 5: We're in the middle of building. We've got a soft 343 00:16:21,373 --> 00:16:26,853 Speaker 5: launch on that. That's why I trade Me is in 344 00:16:27,013 --> 00:16:30,373 Speaker 5: decline and a few the other thing that probably is 345 00:16:30,853 --> 00:16:35,412 Speaker 5: going against them as AI and AI can scrape the 346 00:16:35,533 --> 00:16:42,333 Speaker 5: internet free.

Have you have you 391 00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:30,493 Speaker 3: sort of investigated where because I'm trying to remember the 392 00:19:30,573 --> 00:19:32,893 Speaker 3: name of it. There was that trade me competitive Was 393 00:19:32,933 --> 00:19:36,773 Speaker 3: it called Wheedle or something? Yes, Weedley. We we something 394 00:19:36,853 --> 00:19:38,413 Speaker 3: like something like that. I'm just trying to remember. It 395 00:19:38,493 --> 00:19:42,453 Speaker 3: was about probably ten years ago they tried and when 396 00:19:42,493 --> 00:19:48,253 Speaker 3: they launched it sort of blew up immediately, quite quite spectacular. 397 00:19:49,133 --> 00:19:50,613 Speaker 3: It was run by quite a smart. 398 00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:53,373 Speaker 2: Guy, was co founder, Yeah, Neil Graham. 399 00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:56,853 Speaker 3: So so what have you learned from what they got wrong? 400 00:19:57,093 --> 00:20:01,573 Speaker 5: Ben, I haven't seen what they did. The biggest problem 401 00:20:01,653 --> 00:20:04,693 Speaker 5: is always going to be how many people you can 402 00:20:04,973 --> 00:20:07,893 Speaker 5: get involved in, how you can launch it and go national. 403 00:20:08,653 --> 00:20:11,893 Speaker 5: It's like any product at the moment, it is hard 404 00:20:12,213 --> 00:20:14,653 Speaker 5: trying to scale a national product, and it's certainly very 405 00:20:14,693 --> 00:20:16,413 Speaker 5: hard to do in a shoe string budget. Hence you 406 00:20:16,493 --> 00:20:20,053 Speaker 5: mean investors and begging to do that, and they put 407 00:20:20,093 --> 00:20:22,733 Speaker 5: that into infrastructure. The other thing is you've got to 408 00:20:22,773 --> 00:20:25,173 Speaker 5: remember too, is that a lot of businesses will start, 409 00:20:26,173 --> 00:20:28,893 Speaker 5: they start to get successful, and then they get brought out. 410 00:20:29,813 --> 00:20:32,093 Speaker 5: Most of the time they'll get brought out. I mean 411 00:20:32,173 --> 00:20:34,373 Speaker 5: trade me you got brought out very quickly as well. 412 00:20:35,253 --> 00:20:38,653 Speaker 5: And I mean trade Me was our biggest success success 413 00:20:38,733 --> 00:20:44,813 Speaker 5: story twenty years ago. They're now, I'm sure investors, I believe. So, 414 00:20:45,773 --> 00:20:50,613 Speaker 5: you know, maybe it's time for consumers to have an 415 00:20:50,653 --> 00:20:53,813 Speaker 5: option that's key we owned with a mandate to make 416 00:20:53,893 --> 00:20:57,533 Speaker 5: it easier and better and safer.

It's not just a 422 00:21:19,973 --> 00:21:23,893 Speaker 5: New Zealand problem, it's it's a problem that consumers are 423 00:21:23,933 --> 00:21:26,973 Speaker 5: facing it in all Western countries, you know. 424 00:21:27,253 --> 00:21:32,773 Speaker 3: So now, now, Ben, so, what was the name of 425 00:21:32,973 --> 00:21:38,293 Speaker 3: what was the name of your search s I R 426 00:21:38,813 --> 00:21:43,253 Speaker 3: C H Y s sechery dot com.

But there's other companies 514 00:26:18,853 --> 00:26:21,173 Speaker 2: like one Roof, I've got to say, and they're looking 515 00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:22,893 Speaker 2: at that sort of increase and say, well, we don't 516 00:26:22,933 --> 00:26:25,333 Speaker 2: need you. Oh one hundred eighteen eighties number. 517 00:26:25,173 --> 00:26:28,933 Speaker 3: To cooll Daryl your thoughts on trade me in twenty 518 00:26:29,013 --> 00:26:29,653 Speaker 3: twenty five. 519 00:26:31,413 --> 00:26:34,493 Speaker 8: But there were two reasons that I rang. Number one 520 00:26:34,773 --> 00:26:40,853 Speaker 8: was I stopped using them to sell stuff about a 521 00:26:41,013 --> 00:26:44,813 Speaker 8: year or so ago because as an artist, I was 522 00:26:44,893 --> 00:26:48,813 Speaker 8: finding that the only people that were looking were looking 523 00:26:49,013 --> 00:26:54,533 Speaker 8: for cheap. Basically, people were not prepared to actually pay 524 00:26:54,573 --> 00:26:59,773 Speaker 8: anymore for reasonable product at a reasonable price. If it 525 00:26:59,893 --> 00:27:05,493 Speaker 8: wasn't cheap, that the basic customers weren't interested. Now, I 526 00:27:05,613 --> 00:27:13,493 Speaker 8: can't say that very wide spectrum of the type of 527 00:27:13,533 --> 00:27:16,493 Speaker 8: people that they're actually dealing with, but certainly that's my experience. 528 00:27:17,653 --> 00:27:22,413 Speaker 8: But I was given to move away completely, even as 529 00:27:22,413 --> 00:27:28,533 Speaker 8: a purchaser, when my account was hacked, and that account 530 00:27:28,613 --> 00:27:35,813 Speaker 8: hacking was done by someone who was selling essentially nonexistent 531 00:27:36,013 --> 00:27:43,053 Speaker 8: goods using my name my account, and I found out 532 00:27:43,093 --> 00:27:46,493 Speaker 8: about it fairly quickly got on to trade me who 533 00:27:46,613 --> 00:27:48,893 Speaker 8: basically said that the only thing they were able to 534 00:27:49,013 --> 00:27:52,053 Speaker 8: do was to shut my account down and I would 535 00:27:52,093 --> 00:27:57,413 Speaker 8: have to reopen another one basically from scratch, which. 536 00:27:57,253 --> 00:27:58,333 Speaker 5: Is exactly what I did. 537 00:27:59,773 --> 00:28:01,933 Speaker 3: I mean, and so you didn't need to bring it, 538 00:28:02,013 --> 00:28:04,253 Speaker 3: you didn't mean, you didn't get to bring any of 539 00:28:04,293 --> 00:28:06,493 Speaker 3: your good will over with it, you know, your. 540 00:28:08,453 --> 00:28:08,933 Speaker 14: Whatsoever. 541 00:28:09,853 --> 00:28:13,813 Speaker 8: But what made it worse was that my account was 542 00:28:13,853 --> 00:28:17,333 Speaker 8: hacked again three weeks later. I was then told I 543 00:28:17,373 --> 00:28:20,293 Speaker 8: would have to go through exactly the same process, which 544 00:28:20,373 --> 00:28:22,053 Speaker 8: is that they would shut it down and I have 545 00:28:22,173 --> 00:28:25,093 Speaker 8: to reopen an entirely new count and at that point 546 00:28:25,133 --> 00:28:29,733 Speaker 8: I just said, it's too this is just ridiculous using us. 547 00:28:30,493 --> 00:28:33,053 Speaker 3: You went using password as your password were your Darryl, 548 00:28:33,133 --> 00:28:34,253 Speaker 3: you had a no. 549 00:28:38,453 --> 00:28:43,493 Speaker 8: I had used their suggested security you know how when 550 00:28:43,533 --> 00:28:46,373 Speaker 8: you you get to type in a password and give 551 00:28:46,413 --> 00:28:49,573 Speaker 8: you an option of one of their own, which is 552 00:28:49,613 --> 00:28:52,413 Speaker 8: a really complicated, messy thing. I used that the second 553 00:28:52,453 --> 00:28:53,493 Speaker 8: time and I was still hacked. 554 00:28:53,653 --> 00:28:53,893 Speaker 1: Wow. 555 00:28:55,373 --> 00:28:57,253 Speaker 8: At the end of the day. At that point I 556 00:28:57,373 --> 00:29:01,013 Speaker 8: just said, no, this is just pointless. I can't keep 557 00:29:01,093 --> 00:29:02,253 Speaker 8: doing this every three weeks. 558 00:29:02,293 --> 00:29:02,973 Speaker 5: This is just silly. 559 00:29:03,773 --> 00:29:05,453 Speaker 2: It's a lot of words to build up your profile 560 00:29:05,493 --> 00:29:09,453 Speaker 2: as well, wasn't it, Darryl?

Welcome to the show, Hi, guys. 626 00:32:08,413 --> 00:32:13,373 Speaker 15: I can best describe how I see the two options 627 00:32:13,413 --> 00:32:17,213 Speaker 15: that are there. Trade me is probably what you would call, say, 628 00:32:18,013 --> 00:32:22,053 Speaker 15: a licensed trader of the license building all the bells 629 00:32:22,053 --> 00:32:27,893 Speaker 15: and whistles, where marketplace is like the unlicensed or illegal trader. 630 00:32:28,813 --> 00:32:33,453 Speaker 15: That's how I see it, and unfortunately they're both playing 631 00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:38,053 Speaker 15: to the same audience, the same buyers, the same sellers. Yes, 632 00:32:38,253 --> 00:32:43,093 Speaker 15: and trade me. I think if progressively just gone let's 633 00:32:43,133 --> 00:32:45,973 Speaker 15: clip a bit more, let's clip a bit more, and 634 00:32:46,093 --> 00:32:48,293 Speaker 15: it's got to a stage where hey, we're all being 635 00:32:48,333 --> 00:32:51,093 Speaker 15: clipped no matter what we're buying, and they've gone over 636 00:32:51,213 --> 00:32:54,333 Speaker 15: the top. But in the meantime, you used to have 637 00:32:54,413 --> 00:32:58,173 Speaker 15: a reasonable communication line. If you had an issue, you 638 00:32:58,213 --> 00:33:00,133 Speaker 15: could actually ring up and talk to the real person. 639 00:33:00,853 --> 00:33:03,493 Speaker 15: That's gone by the wind. And I think a lot 640 00:33:03,573 --> 00:33:06,213 Speaker 15: of the let's say, the people who are not so 641 00:33:06,613 --> 00:33:11,013 Speaker 15: computer literate have the so I did that. Hey, marketplace 642 00:33:11,093 --> 00:33:15,373 Speaker 15: is a little bit harder to circ navigate, but let's 643 00:33:15,413 --> 00:33:16,933 Speaker 15: give it a go. And a lot of people have 644 00:33:17,093 --> 00:33:20,773 Speaker 15: and I would be one of them. To last thirty 645 00:33:20,813 --> 00:33:23,533 Speaker 15: items I've sold, they've all gone through marketplace and. 646 00:33:23,693 --> 00:33:25,933 Speaker 2: No issues there. It all went pretty smoothly. 647 00:33:27,213 --> 00:33:30,373 Speaker 15: I had one that I was a little bit sort 648 00:33:30,413 --> 00:33:32,613 Speaker 15: of dubious about, might have been a bit of a scam, 649 00:33:33,453 --> 00:33:38,053 Speaker 15: but I had contard to control where I didn't identify 650 00:33:38,173 --> 00:33:40,493 Speaker 15: the full address until they were outside of my building, 651 00:33:42,293 --> 00:33:44,093 Speaker 15: and that way I was to verify who they were. 652 00:33:44,373 --> 00:33:46,653 Speaker 15: I can see who they were, and I was comfortable. 653 00:33:47,173 --> 00:33:47,333 Speaker 5: Right. 654 00:33:47,573 --> 00:33:50,093 Speaker 3: I'm just sorry because I've missed a little bit there. 655 00:33:50,133 --> 00:33:53,893 Speaker 3: What are you selling, Michael, Oh, just. 656 00:33:54,093 --> 00:33:58,373 Speaker 15: General commodities that come from around. You know, I've decluttered 657 00:33:59,533 --> 00:34:02,653 Speaker 15: over the last two years, and you know, when you 658 00:34:02,693 --> 00:34:04,213 Speaker 15: get to eighty years of age, you've got a lot 659 00:34:04,253 --> 00:34:05,173 Speaker 15: of decluttering today. 660 00:34:05,533 --> 00:34:08,652 Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, and a lot of people, you know, 661 00:34:08,933 --> 00:34:10,773 Speaker 3: feel like they need to declutter, and a lot of 662 00:34:10,773 --> 00:34:13,253 Speaker 3: people declutter into the skip rather than going through the 663 00:34:13,333 --> 00:34:18,172 Speaker 3: business of you know, selling it online. So it's still 664 00:34:18,213 --> 00:34:19,173 Speaker 3: worth it for you to do that. 665 00:34:21,093 --> 00:34:28,293 Speaker 15: Yeah, I find it relatively easy to operate both sites, 666 00:34:28,853 --> 00:34:33,853 Speaker 15: but the marketplace one doesn't make it easy to get 667 00:34:33,893 --> 00:34:36,093 Speaker 15: a good description.

But I 1005 00:50:03,053 --> 00:50:04,733 Speaker 19: guess at the end of the day, money talks, right, 1006 00:50:04,893 --> 00:50:09,373 Speaker 19: And if you're selling any kind of items, Yeah, the 1007 00:50:09,693 --> 00:50:11,853 Speaker 19: fees are massive, a massive cost. 1008 00:50:13,013 --> 00:50:15,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I suppose the Admind side of things, Jeremy, 1009 00:50:15,813 --> 00:50:17,413 Speaker 2: if you think about the Edmond side of things on 1010 00:50:17,533 --> 00:50:20,053 Speaker 2: trade me, where you're paying almost you know, twelve percent 1011 00:50:20,093 --> 00:50:22,493 Speaker 2: of you're poor old John on something that might be 1012 00:50:22,573 --> 00:50:24,613 Speaker 2: only worth forty bucks anyway. And then you look at 1013 00:50:24,613 --> 00:50:27,212 Speaker 2: the Edmund side of my Facebook marketplace, which, as you say, 1014 00:50:27,333 --> 00:50:31,133 Speaker 2: can be horrendous dealing with delinquents. But I'd probably take 1015 00:50:31,173 --> 00:50:33,933 Speaker 2: that Edmund over the trade Me Edmond, considering how much 1016 00:50:33,973 --> 00:50:34,373 Speaker 2: it costs you. 1017 00:50:35,733 --> 00:50:37,933 Speaker 19: You know, the other advantage you're dealing directly with the 1018 00:50:38,013 --> 00:50:41,013 Speaker 19: person and it's fired instant chat as well, whereas trade 1019 00:50:41,053 --> 00:50:43,093 Speaker 19: me it don't done by emails. I don't know about you, guys, 1020 00:50:43,173 --> 00:50:45,493 Speaker 19: I very rarely use emails for any kind of direct 1021 00:50:45,533 --> 00:50:48,853 Speaker 19: comment com I just purchased something yesterday off trade me, 1022 00:50:49,253 --> 00:50:50,693 Speaker 19: and it made me pay for it. There was no 1023 00:50:50,853 --> 00:50:52,853 Speaker 19: option to go cash, so I was like, well, I'm 1024 00:50:53,213 --> 00:50:54,973 Speaker 19: having to pay for this item by hitting it buy 1025 00:50:55,053 --> 00:50:56,573 Speaker 19: Now I have to pay for this item. I don't 1026 00:50:56,613 --> 00:50:58,053 Speaker 19: know that the other person on the other end of 1027 00:50:58,133 --> 00:51:03,653 Speaker 19: this even exists. But so that's a risk from that aspect. 1028 00:51:03,813 --> 00:51:08,173 Speaker 19: But having that direct communication with the potential purchaser or 1029 00:51:08,773 --> 00:51:13,293 Speaker 19: what it's just so much easier from an edminder emails 1030 00:51:13,293 --> 00:51:14,813 Speaker 19: and then having to exchange phone numbers. 1031 00:51:15,533 --> 00:51:18,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thank you for your call, Jeremy. So delinquent 1032 00:51:19,053 --> 00:51:22,773 Speaker 3: morons or exorbitant prices, there you go. Trade Me is 1033 00:51:22,813 --> 00:51:25,732 Speaker 3: of course owned by Apex Partners, you know, which brought 1034 00:51:25,773 --> 00:51:29,773 Speaker 3: the company in twenty nineteen. And they're London based firm, 1035 00:51:29,813 --> 00:51:32,573 Speaker 3: aren't they. Yeah, with officers in New York, Hong Kong, Mumbai, 1036 00:51:32,693 --> 00:51:36,653 Speaker 3: Tel Aviv, Munich and Shanghai. So it's trade Me a 1037 00:51:36,693 --> 00:51:37,453 Speaker 3: New Zealand company. 1038 00:51:37,773 --> 00:51:40,252 Speaker 2: Definitely not they're all about that money. They're all about 1039 00:51:40,333 --> 00:51:43,573 Speaker 2: rapping Kiwi's off now, seems like anyway, great discussion, Thank 1040 00:51:43,613 --> 00:51:46,172 Speaker 2: you very much. Coming up after the break, we've got 1041 00:51:46,253 --> 00:51:49,413 Speaker 2: Brad Olsen back on the show, the CEO of Informetrics 1042 00:51:49,453 --> 00:51:52,653 Speaker 2: and Chief Economists. Because the government's books have been opened 1043 00:51:52,693 --> 00:51:56,173 Speaker 2: up for treasuries half year Economic and Fiscal Update, so 1044 00:51:56,253 --> 00:51:58,773 Speaker 2: we'll tell you how we're actually going on the economic 1045 00:51:58,853 --> 00:52:01,213 Speaker 2: front that is coming up next. It is twenty two 1046 00:52:01,213 --> 00:52:01,813 Speaker 2: plus two. 1047 00:52:06,093 --> 00:52:09,732 Speaker 1: Matd Heathen, Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty 1048 00:52:09,813 --> 00:52:11,173 Speaker 1: ten eighty on news talks. 1049 00:52:11,173 --> 00:52:14,213 Speaker 2: I'd be afternoon to U. So four carts. The economy 1050 00:52:14,253 --> 00:52:16,853 Speaker 2: will grow slower than hope next year. In today's Treasuries 1051 00:52:16,973 --> 00:52:19,653 Speaker 2: release of its half year Economic and Fiscal update. To 1052 00:52:19,693 --> 00:52:22,173 Speaker 2: go through it, we're joined once again by Brad Olson 1053 00:52:22,213 --> 00:52:25,573 Speaker 2: in for Metric CEO and Chief economiss get a Brads, 1054 00:52:26,333 --> 00:52:30,813 Speaker 2: good afternoon team. So what were the big takeaways? Well, 1055 00:52:30,853 --> 00:52:33,133 Speaker 2: as you've outlined, I mean the economy has had a 1056 00:52:33,173 --> 00:52:35,493 Speaker 2: bit more of a setback this year than where Treasury 1057 00:52:35,613 --> 00:52:39,013 Speaker 2: had expected it to evolve at the budget. So the 1058 00:52:39,173 --> 00:52:42,933 Speaker 2: economic recovery taking longer to get going and from sort 1059 00:52:42,933 --> 00:52:45,533 Speaker 2: of a deeper, darker position. And all of that means 1060 00:52:45,573 --> 00:52:47,853 Speaker 2: that the government is not taking in quite as much 1061 00:52:48,333 --> 00:52:50,533 Speaker 2: tax revenue as it probably would have hoped to have 1062 00:52:50,653 --> 00:52:54,533 Speaker 2: seen growth in that and of course expenses are higher. 1063 00:52:54,893 --> 00:52:57,453 Speaker 2: All of that means that now the return to surplus 1064 00:52:57,493 --> 00:53:01,613 Speaker 2: has been pushed out another year. On the government's new 1065 00:53:01,773 --> 00:53:05,613 Speaker 2: preferred measure, the ober gal x figure, it's now taking 1066 00:53:05,693 --> 00:53:08,173 Speaker 2: until twenty thirty for the books to return to surplus, 1067 00:53:08,773 --> 00:53:12,253 Speaker 2: probably twenty thirty one for the old Obergall measure. So 1068 00:53:12,573 --> 00:53:15,453 Speaker 2: long story short, we're still having to borrow to spend 1069 00:53:15,493 --> 00:53:17,732 Speaker 2: on day to day items for the next couple of years, 1070 00:53:17,773 --> 00:53:20,772 Speaker 2: and that's sort of hasn't changed. It's also, of course, 1071 00:53:20,853 --> 00:53:24,653 Speaker 2: leaving the debt position in a slightly more uncomfortable position. 1072 00:53:24,733 --> 00:53:26,933 Speaker 2: It's it's sort of peaking and not coming down nearly 1073 00:53:26,973 --> 00:53:31,253 Speaker 2: as quickly as everyone would like. It reaches a peak 1074 00:53:31,413 --> 00:53:34,453 Speaker 2: of forty six point nine percent that's neck core crown 1075 00:53:34,533 --> 00:53:37,333 Speaker 2: debt to GDP in twenty twenty seven to twenty eight, 1076 00:53:37,533 --> 00:53:40,933 Speaker 2: so again higher than was expected in taking longer to 1077 00:53:41,013 --> 00:53:41,613 Speaker 2: come back down. 1078 00:53:42,133 --> 00:53:45,293 Speaker 3: Is that is that a genuinely risky number forty seven 1079 00:53:45,333 --> 00:53:48,133 Speaker 3: percent of GDP? Or is that sort of just a 1080 00:53:48,213 --> 00:53:49,453 Speaker 3: politically awkward number. 1081 00:53:50,933 --> 00:53:52,973 Speaker 2: It's bits of both. I mean, at the moment, it's 1082 00:53:53,133 --> 00:53:56,893 Speaker 2: it's palatable enough, particularly because look, to drive that down 1083 00:53:57,493 --> 00:54:00,333 Speaker 2: considerably and quickly, you'd really have to cut quite a 1084 00:54:00,333 --> 00:54:02,533 Speaker 2: lot of spending out to the point where New Zealanders 1085 00:54:02,533 --> 00:54:05,453 Speaker 2: would feel that they would get less services and a 1086 00:54:05,493 --> 00:54:07,853 Speaker 2: whole lot less in the economy all of a sudden 1087 00:54:08,093 --> 00:54:10,253 Speaker 2: but it does mean that. Look, if a big challenge 1088 00:54:10,333 --> 00:54:13,933 Speaker 2: erupted tomorrow, if you had geopolitical issues that turned into war, 1089 00:54:14,013 --> 00:54:17,413 Speaker 2: if you saw another natural disaster, it's that debt headroom 1090 00:54:17,453 --> 00:54:19,413 Speaker 2: that we use to sort of get ourselves out of 1091 00:54:20,573 --> 00:54:23,333 Speaker 2: the picket, the tricky spot that we often find ourselves. 1092 00:54:23,413 --> 00:54:25,772 Speaker 2: And of course the last couple of decades has showing 1093 00:54:25,813 --> 00:54:29,333 Speaker 2: that that happens quite frequently. So look, it's tough at 1094 00:54:29,373 --> 00:54:32,772 Speaker 2: the moment because it really does highlight that again, over time, 1095 00:54:32,853 --> 00:54:35,652 Speaker 2: it's taking a lot longer than everyone expected and hoped 1096 00:54:35,733 --> 00:54:38,693 Speaker 2: for for the books to recover. And that's with you know, 1097 00:54:38,893 --> 00:54:41,253 Speaker 2: to be fair, the government still putting a lot more 1098 00:54:41,293 --> 00:54:44,373 Speaker 2: restraint on itself than previous governments who were adding a 1099 00:54:44,413 --> 00:54:47,333 Speaker 2: lot more into the system, a lot harder to take away, 1100 00:54:47,613 --> 00:54:49,853 Speaker 2: very easy to add spending into the system. 1101 00:54:49,933 --> 00:54:54,293 Speaker 3: Though, So for households, you know, barring a horrible event 1102 00:54:54,453 --> 00:54:57,013 Speaker 3: or a war, a war is a horrible event. But 1103 00:54:57,173 --> 00:55:00,253 Speaker 3: barring a horrible event, does the land surplus actually change 1104 00:55:00,493 --> 00:55:05,493 Speaker 3: anything in daily life for Kiwi households, not necessarily. 1105 00:55:06,013 --> 00:55:07,692 Speaker 2: If you're sort of you know, you're sitting out there 1106 00:55:07,853 --> 00:55:10,213 Speaker 2: and going, well, what does it mean to me as 1107 00:55:10,253 --> 00:55:11,813 Speaker 2: a household. You know what am I going to experience 1108 00:55:11,853 --> 00:55:13,933 Speaker 2: in the next three years that might have been different 1109 00:55:13,973 --> 00:55:16,853 Speaker 2: from what I previously thought. Probably nothing. It's more that 1110 00:55:17,053 --> 00:55:19,333 Speaker 2: in the future, and as we continue to go on, 1111 00:55:19,493 --> 00:55:21,213 Speaker 2: we're going to have to make more and more difficult 1112 00:55:21,253 --> 00:55:25,013 Speaker 2: decisions over what we spend on and what gets left out. 1113 00:55:25,653 --> 00:55:27,893 Speaker 2: And I think that's sort of a message that Treasury 1114 00:55:27,973 --> 00:55:30,093 Speaker 2: is trying to convey quite strongly at the moment, is 1115 00:55:30,173 --> 00:55:33,413 Speaker 2: that yes, things are happening. At the moment, spending is happening. 1116 00:55:33,493 --> 00:55:35,613 Speaker 2: But if you know, all of a sudden, you saw 1117 00:55:35,693 --> 00:55:38,293 Speaker 2: those debt figures, you know that weren't coming down, and 1118 00:55:38,453 --> 00:55:41,533 Speaker 2: a big disaster struck, we would have to then borrow 1119 00:55:41,653 --> 00:55:43,813 Speaker 2: considerably to get us out of the hole. And at 1120 00:55:43,853 --> 00:55:45,733 Speaker 2: that point, to be blunt, we're probably going to have 1121 00:55:45,813 --> 00:55:48,293 Speaker 2: to see tax increases to pay for that high level 1122 00:55:48,333 --> 00:55:50,693 Speaker 2: of debt because you can't. I don't know about you, 1123 00:55:50,813 --> 00:55:52,533 Speaker 2: but i've you know, people trying to take out a 1124 00:55:52,573 --> 00:55:54,533 Speaker 2: mortgage when they don't pay off the first mortgage and 1125 00:55:54,573 --> 00:55:56,212 Speaker 2: then just ask for more and more and more when 1126 00:55:56,253 --> 00:55:57,933 Speaker 2: they haven't shown that they can pay off the first 1127 00:55:57,973 --> 00:56:01,053 Speaker 2: one don't get looked that favorably by the bank usually, 1128 00:56:01,133 --> 00:56:04,453 Speaker 2: so that would be the challenge. My biggest issue still 1129 00:56:04,533 --> 00:56:07,613 Speaker 2: looking through the fiscals is how much money is going 1130 00:56:07,653 --> 00:56:09,613 Speaker 2: to a certain sect. Is that really do I don't 1131 00:56:09,653 --> 00:56:11,533 Speaker 2: want to say they're out of control, but man, they 1132 00:56:11,613 --> 00:56:14,373 Speaker 2: make it hard to spend on other parts of the economy. 1133 00:56:14,733 --> 00:56:16,933 Speaker 2: You look over the next sort of five years or so, 1134 00:56:17,213 --> 00:56:19,973 Speaker 2: treasuries forecast today say that New Zealand will spend an 1135 00:56:19,973 --> 00:56:23,453 Speaker 2: extra seven point seven billion dollars on paying for New 1136 00:56:23,533 --> 00:56:27,133 Speaker 2: Zealand superannuation alone. That's more than the increase to the 1137 00:56:27,333 --> 00:56:30,652 Speaker 2: entire health and education budgets combined. So like in terms 1138 00:56:30,693 --> 00:56:32,693 Speaker 2: of decisions that we have to make as a country, 1139 00:56:33,333 --> 00:56:36,373 Speaker 2: government spending will continue to go up based on the 1140 00:56:36,413 --> 00:56:39,252 Speaker 2: current settings unless we change them. And that means that look, 1141 00:56:39,293 --> 00:56:41,293 Speaker 2: at some point in the next in my mind five 1142 00:56:41,373 --> 00:56:43,613 Speaker 2: to ten years, the government's going to have to say, look, 1143 00:56:43,613 --> 00:56:46,853 Speaker 2: we're putting money towards the current settings. So no, there's 1144 00:56:46,893 --> 00:56:49,373 Speaker 2: no more money for this industry, for that industry, there's 1145 00:56:49,413 --> 00:56:51,973 Speaker 2: no more money for health or education because we're putting 1146 00:56:52,013 --> 00:56:54,693 Speaker 2: it on other stuff. That's the sort of decision and 1147 00:56:54,813 --> 00:56:56,413 Speaker 2: the trade offs that we're going to have to make 1148 00:56:56,453 --> 00:56:57,013 Speaker 2: as a country. 1149 00:56:57,653 --> 00:57:00,493 Speaker 3: So whose faults. This is it labor's over spending in 1150 00:57:00,693 --> 00:57:03,693 Speaker 3: COVID times and post COVID times, or is it the 1151 00:57:03,973 --> 00:57:06,133 Speaker 3: government and their settings at the moment. 1152 00:57:07,253 --> 00:57:09,493 Speaker 2: Look, there's all elements to it. I mean, in a 1153 00:57:09,573 --> 00:57:11,453 Speaker 2: sense the blame can go around a lot of places. 1154 00:57:11,933 --> 00:57:16,093 Speaker 2: Of course, having those much higher interest rates and continuing 1155 00:57:16,173 --> 00:57:18,733 Speaker 2: to see quite a level of support into the economy 1156 00:57:18,813 --> 00:57:21,733 Speaker 2: during COVID was necessary at the time, but it also 1157 00:57:21,853 --> 00:57:24,613 Speaker 2: means that we're spending an extremely large amount of money 1158 00:57:24,773 --> 00:57:28,413 Speaker 2: on repaying that debt over the next couple of years. 1159 00:57:28,453 --> 00:57:31,093 Speaker 2: You know, it's tens of billions of dollars that are 1160 00:57:31,133 --> 00:57:33,893 Speaker 2: going to just sort of on the effective government mortgage 1161 00:57:34,453 --> 00:57:37,013 Speaker 2: all the time. There's a lot of spending that has 1162 00:57:37,173 --> 00:57:41,533 Speaker 2: been decided in previous years that you know that continues 1163 00:57:41,613 --> 00:57:44,853 Speaker 2: basically for every year after that. So previous decisions by 1164 00:57:44,933 --> 00:57:47,733 Speaker 2: previous governments are a little bit more locked in, and 1165 00:57:47,853 --> 00:57:51,613 Speaker 2: you've seen again a challenging ability for a new government 1166 00:57:51,653 --> 00:57:52,933 Speaker 2: to come in and say, well, we're not going to 1167 00:57:53,013 --> 00:57:54,533 Speaker 2: do that because people get used to it. You know, 1168 00:57:54,613 --> 00:57:57,253 Speaker 2: people have got used to having anything from food and 1169 00:57:57,333 --> 00:57:59,653 Speaker 2: schools to a whole lot of other policies that just 1170 00:57:59,773 --> 00:58:02,453 Speaker 2: weren't there, you know, five ten years ago, to put 1171 00:58:02,533 --> 00:58:06,573 Speaker 2: some of this in perspective, just before the pandemic hit, 1172 00:58:06,813 --> 00:58:10,133 Speaker 2: you were seeing the core crown expense, So government spending effectively, 1173 00:58:10,653 --> 00:58:13,493 Speaker 2: was it about twenty eight percent of GDP At the 1174 00:58:13,693 --> 00:58:17,133 Speaker 2: end of the forecast period. In twenty thirty, core cround 1175 00:58:17,173 --> 00:58:20,493 Speaker 2: expenses will still be thirty point five percent of GEDP, 1176 00:58:20,693 --> 00:58:23,773 Speaker 2: so more than two percentage points more of the economy 1177 00:58:24,093 --> 00:58:27,013 Speaker 2: is now coming through and being driven by government activity. 1178 00:58:27,333 --> 00:58:29,733 Speaker 2: So it is a real tough one because it suggests 1179 00:58:29,773 --> 00:58:32,933 Speaker 2: that again we're living outside our means, and that there 1180 00:58:32,973 --> 00:58:35,533 Speaker 2: are some very very difficult calls, like if you are 1181 00:58:35,893 --> 00:58:37,893 Speaker 2: central government, and there's of course spend a lot of 1182 00:58:37,973 --> 00:58:40,493 Speaker 2: calls recently for you know, either spending a whole lot 1183 00:58:40,573 --> 00:58:42,693 Speaker 2: more on one side of politics or a whole lot 1184 00:58:42,773 --> 00:58:45,213 Speaker 2: less by other sides of politics. In the middle of 1185 00:58:45,613 --> 00:58:47,493 Speaker 2: you've got the government going, well, I sort of can't 1186 00:58:47,533 --> 00:58:49,573 Speaker 2: make anyone happy because I can't spend a lot more 1187 00:58:49,613 --> 00:58:52,293 Speaker 2: because we're indeficite, but also can't trim it as much 1188 00:58:52,373 --> 00:58:55,213 Speaker 2: back because you'd create all sorts of challenges for low 1189 00:58:55,253 --> 00:58:58,013 Speaker 2: income households. So on that note, spread do you think 1190 00:58:58,013 --> 00:58:59,973 Speaker 2: the government needs to look at text reform or new 1191 00:59:00,053 --> 00:59:04,613 Speaker 2: revenue measures to address that deficit. I mean, looks in 1192 00:59:04,693 --> 00:59:07,173 Speaker 2: an ideal economist world, you'd sort of do bits of everything. 1193 00:59:07,253 --> 00:59:09,213 Speaker 2: You'd have a little bit more ten reform to try 1194 00:59:09,253 --> 00:59:12,053 Speaker 2: and broaden the base a little bit more. You would 1195 00:59:12,093 --> 00:59:14,613 Speaker 2: run the ruler a whole lot harder over some of 1196 00:59:14,693 --> 00:59:18,293 Speaker 2: the spending that government does, and say to some industries 1197 00:59:18,373 --> 00:59:20,533 Speaker 2: and some sectors, look, you've got support for quite a 1198 00:59:20,573 --> 00:59:23,733 Speaker 2: lot of time, but sorry, that's ending today. And I 1199 00:59:23,773 --> 00:59:26,453 Speaker 2: would look quite seriously again about some of those big, 1200 00:59:26,533 --> 00:59:29,333 Speaker 2: big spending items. I mean, at the moment, even if 1201 00:59:29,413 --> 00:59:31,973 Speaker 2: we magiced up a whole bunch of productivity, which we've 1202 00:59:32,013 --> 00:59:34,853 Speaker 2: been struggling with. To be fair, even that wouldn't sort 1203 00:59:34,893 --> 00:59:38,413 Speaker 2: of put us away from the pretty challenging fiscal conditions 1204 00:59:38,493 --> 00:59:40,693 Speaker 2: of the likes of super And look, I know it 1205 00:59:40,773 --> 00:59:42,853 Speaker 2: sounds like I'm sort of banging on about this one item. 1206 00:59:43,173 --> 00:59:43,413 Speaker 1: It is. 1207 00:59:44,293 --> 00:59:45,973 Speaker 2: It's sort of you know, at one point it's going 1208 00:59:46,053 --> 00:59:48,173 Speaker 2: to be thirty billion dollars that New Zealand spends on 1209 00:59:48,293 --> 00:59:50,893 Speaker 2: sufer out towards the end of the decade. At that 1210 00:59:50,973 --> 00:59:53,413 Speaker 2: point it's more than the entire education budget at once. 1211 00:59:53,453 --> 00:59:57,173 Speaker 2: So like that one item, that one incredibly large amount 1212 00:59:57,213 --> 00:59:59,813 Speaker 2: of money is such a fundamental one that unless you 1213 00:59:59,933 --> 01:00:02,133 Speaker 2: make a change to that, I really don't think that 1214 01:00:02,213 --> 01:00:04,893 Speaker 2: you sort of make any headway into the fiscal conditions 1215 01:00:04,973 --> 01:00:07,013 Speaker 2: at all. Every other thing is rats and mice. 1216 01:00:08,413 --> 01:00:10,653 Speaker 3: Now, Brad, you said that the the you know, the 1217 01:00:10,773 --> 01:00:15,253 Speaker 3: COVID spending was necessary, but surely the fact that the 1218 01:00:15,333 --> 01:00:18,973 Speaker 3: economy was so overcooked and interest rates went through the 1219 01:00:19,133 --> 01:00:21,653 Speaker 3: roof and we saw having to house prices and stuff, 1220 01:00:22,133 --> 01:00:25,973 Speaker 3: surely we can say now that you know, definitively too 1221 01:00:26,053 --> 01:00:27,693 Speaker 3: much money was pumped into the economy. 1222 01:00:28,933 --> 01:00:31,893 Speaker 2: Yes, to be clear, a lot of it was necessary 1223 01:00:32,173 --> 01:00:34,413 Speaker 2: for a period of time. And I think the two 1224 01:00:34,533 --> 01:00:37,333 Speaker 2: challenges that we've found looking back at COVID level spending 1225 01:00:37,813 --> 01:00:40,293 Speaker 2: is that one, we left that support in place way 1226 01:00:40,373 --> 01:00:42,533 Speaker 2: too long, Like we needed it at the start when 1227 01:00:42,573 --> 01:00:44,853 Speaker 2: the economy was in a bad place, when we had 1228 01:00:44,933 --> 01:00:47,173 Speaker 2: no idea, when we were coming out of lockdown. But 1229 01:00:47,253 --> 01:00:49,373 Speaker 2: when we came out, when the economy started to get 1230 01:00:49,413 --> 01:00:52,173 Speaker 2: its you know, activity back up and running, we still 1231 01:00:52,253 --> 01:00:55,493 Speaker 2: provided that support even though clearly the economy, the economic 1232 01:00:55,613 --> 01:00:58,933 Speaker 2: motor was humming. So there's that challenge. There's also the 1233 01:00:58,973 --> 01:01:01,373 Speaker 2: fact that a lot of stuff got counted as COVID spending, 1234 01:01:01,533 --> 01:01:04,413 Speaker 2: when in hindsight you go, well, that wasn't really through 1235 01:01:04,613 --> 01:01:07,533 Speaker 2: a pandemic. Again, the likes of you know, paying for 1236 01:01:08,093 --> 01:01:10,333 Speaker 2: you know, health and a whole lot of other areas 1237 01:01:10,573 --> 01:01:13,693 Speaker 2: was important during a pandemic. Paying for jobs creation when 1238 01:01:13,693 --> 01:01:16,573 Speaker 2: the unemployment rate got to its lowest level ever just 1239 01:01:16,653 --> 01:01:19,653 Speaker 2: about in modern history. Probably wasn't COVID level spending Hills, 1240 01:01:19,773 --> 01:01:21,733 Speaker 2: Probably just general support that we didn't need. 1241 01:01:22,493 --> 01:01:24,373 Speaker 3: Now here's the text has come through because on the 1242 01:01:24,453 --> 01:01:27,413 Speaker 3: show we've been talking about positivity, and this Texas says, 1243 01:01:27,493 --> 01:01:30,173 Speaker 3: listen to Matt the fascist who keeps misleading on here 1244 01:01:30,293 --> 01:01:32,653 Speaker 3: about things getting better. Are you going to still drag 1245 01:01:32,733 --> 01:01:35,333 Speaker 3: on about that things are clearly getting worse? What do 1246 01:01:35,373 --> 01:01:38,093 Speaker 3: you say to that text to Rob? I mean the 1247 01:01:38,173 --> 01:01:39,813 Speaker 3: text to Rob, What do you say to Rob Brad? 1248 01:01:40,733 --> 01:01:43,893 Speaker 2: Look, I hear the point, and you look at some 1249 01:01:44,013 --> 01:01:46,453 Speaker 2: of the indicators. You look at contrumer confidence and everything. 1250 01:01:46,493 --> 01:01:48,293 Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that we're out of the woods yet, 1251 01:01:48,773 --> 01:01:51,893 Speaker 2: but we are seeing better economic indicators in a number 1252 01:01:51,893 --> 01:01:54,573 Speaker 2: of areas. Will be waiting quite with quite bited breath 1253 01:01:54,613 --> 01:01:57,093 Speaker 2: at this point for Thursday morning, at ten forty five 1254 01:01:57,173 --> 01:01:59,533 Speaker 2: when we get the latest GDP figures, But we do 1255 01:01:59,733 --> 01:02:01,533 Speaker 2: expect that to have pulled us out of the whole 1256 01:02:01,893 --> 01:02:04,133 Speaker 2: a little bit compared to where we were, say, three 1257 01:02:04,173 --> 01:02:06,893 Speaker 2: months ago. So I think the key point here is that, Look, 1258 01:02:06,973 --> 01:02:09,293 Speaker 2: I do genuinely think looking at the numbers that we're 1259 01:02:09,293 --> 01:02:11,733 Speaker 2: seeing an improvement. But I don't want anyone to sort 1260 01:02:11,773 --> 01:02:14,413 Speaker 2: of take that the wrong way and say everything's fine 1261 01:02:14,453 --> 01:02:16,493 Speaker 2: and solved and everything in twenty twenty six is going 1262 01:02:16,533 --> 01:02:19,373 Speaker 2: to be great. It's not, but it is going to 1263 01:02:19,413 --> 01:02:21,733 Speaker 2: be on a better pathway. Most of the indicators are 1264 01:02:21,773 --> 01:02:24,373 Speaker 2: starting to suggest that. But it's certainly not as sort 1265 01:02:24,413 --> 01:02:27,693 Speaker 2: of as much of a big boost up as we'd 1266 01:02:27,733 --> 01:02:29,813 Speaker 2: probably like to see. But we've got to be careful. 1267 01:02:29,853 --> 01:02:32,093 Speaker 2: We're still trying to sort of wean the economy into 1268 01:02:32,173 --> 01:02:34,533 Speaker 2: a better place after it's head all the support, so 1269 01:02:34,653 --> 01:02:36,613 Speaker 2: there is a bit more balance. I think that's needed 1270 01:02:36,653 --> 01:02:39,613 Speaker 2: going forward. Yeah, got to keep watering those green shoots, Brad, 1271 01:02:40,613 --> 01:02:42,413 Speaker 2: that's the one you need the patrograss to come through. 1272 01:02:42,453 --> 01:02:44,093 Speaker 2: But you also don't want to trample on it too 1273 01:02:44,173 --> 01:02:46,373 Speaker 2: quickly or play too many games on it. After that, 1274 01:02:46,653 --> 01:02:49,373 Speaker 2: beautifully said Brad, always good to get you on mate. 1275 01:02:49,613 --> 01:02:52,293 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. And I know we said this 1276 01:02:52,453 --> 01:02:54,173 Speaker 2: a couple of days ago, but merry Christmas if we 1277 01:02:54,213 --> 01:02:56,253 Speaker 2: don't chet again, mate, which I'm sure we want aime 1278 01:02:56,293 --> 01:02:58,893 Speaker 2: to you. That is Brad al send the CEO of 1279 01:02:59,053 --> 01:03:02,413 Speaker 2: infometrics and chief economists. So we are going to be 1280 01:03:02,453 --> 01:03:05,373 Speaker 2: in deficit for longer according to the latest HIFU. So 1281 01:03:05,373 --> 01:03:06,653 Speaker 2: I'd love to get your thoughts on this. So one 1282 01:03:06,773 --> 01:03:09,173 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty. The government need to make 1283 01:03:09,173 --> 01:03:12,493 Speaker 2: more decisions when it comes to spending or the tax take. 1284 01:03:12,613 --> 01:03:14,613 Speaker 2: They overshot how much tax they thought they were going 1285 01:03:14,693 --> 01:03:17,173 Speaker 2: to get, and Brad did throw the grenade out there. 1286 01:03:17,213 --> 01:03:19,893 Speaker 2: Talking about super annuation is one thing that has been 1287 01:03:19,933 --> 01:03:22,653 Speaker 2: talked about a lot over recent years. So I'd love 1288 01:03:22,693 --> 01:03:24,413 Speaker 2: to get your thoughts. So one hundred and eighteen eighty. 1289 01:03:24,533 --> 01:03:29,053 Speaker 3: I categorically refuse to be negative about this. I say 1290 01:03:29,253 --> 01:03:30,893 Speaker 3: things are going to get better in twenty twenty six 1291 01:03:31,053 --> 01:03:33,853 Speaker 3: positive outs. I think it's time to go hard or 1292 01:03:33,893 --> 01:03:36,333 Speaker 3: go home, So stick that up your rob. 1293 01:03:36,813 --> 01:03:40,133 Speaker 2: Nine nights it was text back very shortly headlines with 1294 01:03:40,653 --> 01:03:43,373 Speaker 2: Aileen then taking your calls.

Forecasts the economy will 1297 01:03:53,133 --> 01:03:56,933 Speaker 7: grow slower than hope next year. In today's Treasury release 1298 01:03:57,013 --> 01:04:00,453 Speaker 7: of its half year Economic and Fiscal Update, it's predicting 1299 01:04:00,533 --> 01:04:03,653 Speaker 7: growth of just one point seven percent and twenty twenty six, 1300 01:04:04,133 --> 01:04:07,533 Speaker 7: with fifty fewer people in the population than earlier thought 1301 01:04:07,933 --> 01:04:11,893 Speaker 7: and hours being worked, but GDP growth the next year 1302 01:04:11,933 --> 01:04:14,973 Speaker 7: is expected to zero point four percent, higher than forecast 1303 01:04:15,293 --> 01:04:19,693 Speaker 7: at three point four percent.

It does show we're going to be in 1320 01:05:17,373 --> 01:05:21,333 Speaker 2: deficit for slightly longer. Brad made the point that the 1321 01:05:21,373 --> 01:05:23,973 Speaker 2: government government may need to make decisions when it comes 1322 01:05:24,013 --> 01:05:26,773 Speaker 2: to spending and the tax take, whether there's some more 1323 01:05:26,893 --> 01:05:29,253 Speaker 2: revenue streams they can look into. So I love to 1324 01:05:29,293 --> 01:05:32,053 Speaker 2: get your thoughts. Nineteen nine two is the text number 1325 01:05:32,693 --> 01:05:35,253 Speaker 2: and eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number? 1326 01:05:35,373 --> 01:05:35,853 Speaker 2: Two cool? 1327 01:05:35,973 --> 01:05:37,813 Speaker 3: The sixth says, just look at how much the unions 1328 01:05:37,853 --> 01:05:41,013 Speaker 3: have demanded recently in the public sector with their labor backing. 1329 01:05:41,133 --> 01:05:43,373 Speaker 3: They will take this country down between them. When a 1330 01:05:43,413 --> 01:05:46,093 Speaker 3: new party is elected to power, all frontline public sector 1331 01:05:46,213 --> 01:05:49,133 Speaker 3: workers should have to reapply for their jobs too. Many 1332 01:05:49,173 --> 01:05:50,893 Speaker 3: of them are rowing the boat in the opposite direction. 1333 01:05:51,413 --> 01:05:54,253 Speaker 3: Get on the boat or get off the boats? Is 1334 01:05:54,373 --> 01:05:54,853 Speaker 3: that text? 1335 01:05:54,933 --> 01:05:56,213 Speaker 2: There is this text? 1336 01:05:56,253 --> 01:05:59,813 Speaker 3: It says, hey, guys, pissport Economic Management twenty thirty one. 1337 01:05:59,973 --> 01:06:02,293 Speaker 3: Just to break even. You wouldn't borrow just to keep 1338 01:06:02,373 --> 01:06:04,893 Speaker 3: up your standard of living in your own budget. We're 1339 01:06:04,973 --> 01:06:07,573 Speaker 3: just reverse mortgaging our country and our children's futures for 1340 01:06:07,653 --> 01:06:10,693 Speaker 3: the sake of new and flat screens. Spin, spin, spin, 1341 01:06:10,813 --> 01:06:15,013 Speaker 3: and tax TAC tax is the least left modus operado operando, 1342 01:06:15,693 --> 01:06:18,853 Speaker 3: But Nicola is spending more. Step one get rid of 1343 01:06:19,093 --> 01:06:22,453 Speaker 3: the eighteen thousand additional public servants that the last government 1344 01:06:22,493 --> 01:06:26,813 Speaker 3: put on the payroll with no outputs, so frustrating. Kindness regards, Dave. 1345 01:06:27,453 --> 01:06:29,333 Speaker 2: It's a nice end. Kindest regards. I like that. 1346 01:06:29,493 --> 01:06:31,813 Speaker 3: I like that, and the test, Dave, kindest regards. 1347 01:06:31,933 --> 01:06:33,893 Speaker 2: Good on your Dave, and some decent points here. 1348 01:06:34,053 --> 01:06:35,253 Speaker 3: Whether that was a bit of pill with a bit 1349 01:06:35,293 --> 01:06:38,493 Speaker 3: of sugar at the end, Tony, Welcome to the show. 1350 01:06:39,853 --> 01:06:41,013 Speaker 8: Good afternoon, gentlemen. 1351 01:06:41,053 --> 01:06:43,613 Speaker 2: How are you very well? And what's your take on 1352 01:06:43,853 --> 01:06:45,933 Speaker 2: this half yearly fiscal update? 1353 01:06:47,213 --> 01:06:51,013 Speaker 8: Well, I guess my comment is not specifically about the update, 1354 01:06:51,093 --> 01:06:53,733 Speaker 8: but just about the and I guess the structure that 1355 01:06:53,853 --> 01:06:57,013 Speaker 8: we work in, and I'm getting to I have become 1356 01:06:57,613 --> 01:07:00,613 Speaker 8: very tired of I guess what I'd term whack a 1357 01:07:00,693 --> 01:07:06,533 Speaker 8: mole politics, as in, we see a problem, so whether 1358 01:07:06,653 --> 01:07:09,813 Speaker 8: that's let's increase taxes, bring a capital gains tax in, 1359 01:07:09,973 --> 01:07:13,293 Speaker 8: or we see an issue in government expenditure, let's make 1360 01:07:13,373 --> 01:07:17,213 Speaker 8: some people redundant, let's spend less. It's time that I 1361 01:07:17,253 --> 01:07:19,733 Speaker 8: think as a country we had a grown up discussion 1362 01:07:19,773 --> 01:07:24,133 Speaker 8: about the whole issue of what we spend, what we tax, 1363 01:07:24,773 --> 01:07:27,773 Speaker 8: how do we incentivize people to move away from property, 1364 01:07:28,093 --> 01:07:31,173 Speaker 8: look at the whole savings and investment side for individuals, 1365 01:07:31,853 --> 01:07:34,653 Speaker 8: key we save and make it compulsory for goodness sake. 1366 01:07:35,773 --> 01:07:37,733 Speaker 8: But what we do, what it seems to me that 1367 01:07:37,813 --> 01:07:41,293 Speaker 8: we do, is we pick an item that's flavor of 1368 01:07:41,373 --> 01:07:44,813 Speaker 8: the month and I'm not having to go at labor 1369 01:07:44,933 --> 01:07:48,053 Speaker 8: over this as such. But then bringing in a capital 1370 01:07:48,133 --> 01:07:52,053 Speaker 8: gains tax in one specific area isn't going to change 1371 01:07:53,053 --> 01:07:56,573 Speaker 8: the balance significantly. You know, we need politicians I think 1372 01:07:56,613 --> 01:07:58,693 Speaker 8: that are brave enough to say this is what we 1373 01:07:58,853 --> 01:08:02,413 Speaker 8: have to do for affordability. We need to gradually raise 1374 01:08:02,493 --> 01:08:06,253 Speaker 8: the superannuation age to sixty seven. 1375 01:08:06,053 --> 01:08:07,213 Speaker 20: Over the next ten years. 1376 01:08:07,373 --> 01:08:10,773 Speaker 8: We need to make key we sober compulsory. We need 1377 01:08:11,133 --> 01:08:13,973 Speaker 8: an all encompassing capital gains tax. We need to address 1378 01:08:14,013 --> 01:08:18,053 Speaker 8: government spending and prioritize, but all we seem to do 1379 01:08:18,253 --> 01:08:21,253 Speaker 8: is pick on one thing and somehow think that that's 1380 01:08:21,333 --> 01:08:23,973 Speaker 8: actually going to shift the dial, and it never does. 1381 01:08:24,492 --> 01:08:27,253 Speaker 3: Why do you think we keep getting politicians that don't 1382 01:08:27,412 --> 01:08:31,572 Speaker 3: make these logical decisions that you're talking about. So, if 1383 01:08:31,612 --> 01:08:35,652 Speaker 3: there is a perfect path that we could take, why 1384 01:08:35,812 --> 01:08:38,452 Speaker 3: don't people take it. If there's a perfect logical path 1385 01:08:38,692 --> 01:08:41,013 Speaker 3: that would lead us to the prosperity we need as 1386 01:08:41,053 --> 01:08:45,253 Speaker 3: a country and achieve all the things we need, why 1387 01:08:45,412 --> 01:08:47,692 Speaker 3: aren't we getting politicians that will do that? Tony? 1388 01:08:49,213 --> 01:08:53,572 Speaker 8: I think some of it is political ideology. So you 1389 01:08:53,692 --> 01:08:58,812 Speaker 8: get a party like the Green so they're conservation policies 1390 01:08:58,853 --> 01:09:03,173 Speaker 8: I have a lot of time for. But we've got 1391 01:09:03,213 --> 01:09:06,652 Speaker 8: a Green party that is a green veneer over a 1392 01:09:06,812 --> 01:09:10,732 Speaker 8: socialist base. You know, they do things like we'll never 1393 01:09:10,812 --> 01:09:13,933 Speaker 8: work with National because they're a right wing party, so 1394 01:09:14,173 --> 01:09:19,333 Speaker 8: the environment is second place, second figgle to their fiddle, 1395 01:09:19,412 --> 01:09:23,053 Speaker 8: to their political ideology here. That makes no sense to me. 1396 01:09:23,133 --> 01:09:26,293 Speaker 8: That's a that's not a grown up discussion about what's 1397 01:09:26,333 --> 01:09:29,452 Speaker 8: good for everyone. So I think political ideology is part 1398 01:09:29,492 --> 01:09:34,732 Speaker 8: of it. National repealing everything labor does and I'm sure Labor, 1399 01:09:35,053 --> 01:09:37,053 Speaker 8: if they win next time, we'll come in and do 1400 01:09:37,293 --> 01:09:41,213 Speaker 8: not a dissimilar thing. I think we need more bipartisan 1401 01:09:41,293 --> 01:09:47,772 Speaker 8: agreement between the major parties for issues that aren't really 1402 01:09:47,973 --> 01:09:55,372 Speaker 8: core ideological differences. And I'm sorry, I'm really cynical about 1403 01:09:55,412 --> 01:10:00,412 Speaker 8: politicians at the moment. I've I've generally found some politicians 1404 01:10:00,452 --> 01:10:03,652 Speaker 8: that I could respect and like, and I'm really struggling 1405 01:10:03,732 --> 01:10:07,892 Speaker 8: to find any of them right across either party. I mean, 1406 01:10:08,053 --> 01:10:10,932 Speaker 8: there are, my goodness, we seem to have a very 1407 01:10:12,293 --> 01:10:14,253 Speaker 8: shallow talent pool at the moment. 1408 01:10:14,893 --> 01:10:20,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, what about I mean the level of criticism politicians 1409 01:10:20,572 --> 01:10:23,893 Speaker 3: get on anything they do. So let's talk about a 1410 01:10:23,893 --> 01:10:25,333 Speaker 3: lot of people are texting about the size of the 1411 01:10:25,372 --> 01:10:30,572 Speaker 3: public sector. So the public sector increased rapidly under Labor 1412 01:10:30,933 --> 01:10:33,892 Speaker 3: and their reaction to COVID and you know, their need 1413 01:10:34,013 --> 01:10:36,933 Speaker 3: for you know, you could argue that they thought that 1414 01:10:37,093 --> 01:10:40,253 Speaker 3: we need to keep people employed under this crazy situation 1415 01:10:40,333 --> 01:10:43,293 Speaker 3: that's happened to the world. But then when Nationale goes, well, 1416 01:10:43,372 --> 01:10:46,412 Speaker 3: that's a lot of extra public servants and this has 1417 01:10:46,492 --> 01:10:48,333 Speaker 3: changed a lot in a very short amount of time, 1418 01:10:48,372 --> 01:10:51,373 Speaker 3: and they go, let's cut back, and then the screaming 1419 01:10:51,572 --> 01:10:56,372 Speaker 3: and wailing make it seem like you're removing jobs that 1420 01:10:56,732 --> 01:11:00,013 Speaker 3: were entrenched since the nineteen thirties, if you see what 1421 01:11:00,053 --> 01:11:05,652 Speaker 3: I'm saying. So it is that is the problem that 1422 01:11:06,933 --> 01:11:12,293 Speaker 3: politicians two, that they're too focused on what the media says. 1423 01:11:12,333 --> 01:11:17,333 Speaker 3: They're too focused on the complaints and not focused enough 1424 01:11:17,372 --> 01:11:20,293 Speaker 3: on just doing what they believe they need to do. 1425 01:11:23,013 --> 01:11:25,213 Speaker 8: Yes, I think that there's possibly a part of that. 1426 01:11:25,333 --> 01:11:29,412 Speaker 8: I don't think it's a significant portion unless you extrapolate 1427 01:11:29,532 --> 01:11:33,732 Speaker 8: it to you know, have a vested self interest in 1428 01:11:34,412 --> 01:11:38,612 Speaker 8: continuing in their jobs, and a three year election cycle 1429 01:11:39,133 --> 01:11:42,532 Speaker 8: really doesn't leave a lot of room for them to 1430 01:11:42,692 --> 01:11:47,452 Speaker 8: make structural and fundamental change. When I lived in the 1431 01:11:47,572 --> 01:11:50,333 Speaker 8: UK for a long time and and my goodness, I'm 1432 01:11:50,372 --> 01:11:54,852 Speaker 8: not comparing then the UK now as being any beacon 1433 01:11:54,933 --> 01:11:59,532 Speaker 8: of light, but something like a four or five year 1434 01:11:59,772 --> 01:12:03,692 Speaker 8: electoral cycle, to me would make a lot more sense 1435 01:12:04,532 --> 01:12:07,213 Speaker 8: to give politicians the ability maybe to get away a 1436 01:12:07,253 --> 01:12:11,253 Speaker 8: little bit from that media criticism. Because the title at 1437 01:12:11,293 --> 01:12:14,933 Speaker 8: the moment appears to be year one, coming change what 1438 01:12:15,053 --> 01:12:19,053 Speaker 8: the previous politician at the previous party did. Year two, 1439 01:12:19,812 --> 01:12:22,972 Speaker 8: try and suggest some change and start the process. Year 1440 01:12:23,053 --> 01:12:25,133 Speaker 8: three worry about being reelected. 1441 01:12:25,652 --> 01:12:27,572 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think there's a lot in that. You 1442 01:12:27,652 --> 01:12:30,053 Speaker 2: do need a runway if you've got integrity when you 1443 01:12:30,093 --> 01:12:32,012 Speaker 2: come into politics, and most of them do, no doubt 1444 01:12:32,013 --> 01:12:34,372 Speaker 2: about it. People don't like politicians, but many of them 1445 01:12:34,372 --> 01:12:36,852 Speaker 2: are not there for a paycheck, at least initially some 1446 01:12:36,933 --> 01:12:39,133 Speaker 2: of them if they're there too long. But having that 1447 01:12:39,293 --> 01:12:41,213 Speaker 2: runway to do the brave things that are not going 1448 01:12:41,293 --> 01:12:43,053 Speaker 2: to be popular, but they know they needed to be 1449 01:12:43,173 --> 01:12:45,173 Speaker 2: done and they might lose their job because the people 1450 01:12:45,213 --> 01:12:47,412 Speaker 2: didn't like it. That's a very brave politician to do that. 1451 01:12:47,692 --> 01:12:47,892 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1452 01:12:48,053 --> 01:12:51,532 Speaker 3: You should be there to make the difference that needs 1453 01:12:51,532 --> 01:12:54,612 Speaker 3: to be made, not there to get re elected. Yeah, 1454 01:12:54,732 --> 01:12:58,812 Speaker 3: would be the thing. Do we need a benevolent dictator? 1455 01:13:00,372 --> 01:13:02,372 Speaker 2: Eighty is another to go beck in the Mother is 1456 01:13:02,412 --> 01:13:05,372 Speaker 2: thirteen to three the issues that affect you. 1457 01:13:05,732 --> 01:13:08,012 Speaker 1: And a bit of fun along the way. Mad Heathen 1458 01:13:08,452 --> 01:13:10,812 Speaker 1: Adams afternoons ECUs talk said be. 1459 01:13:11,372 --> 01:13:14,053 Speaker 2: Ten to three. So the half yearly fiscal update has 1460 01:13:14,133 --> 01:13:15,732 Speaker 2: been released and we're going to be in deficit for 1461 01:13:15,812 --> 01:13:18,133 Speaker 2: a little bit longer than anticipated. Growth is on the 1462 01:13:18,213 --> 01:13:20,572 Speaker 2: way though, But the question put to you is do 1463 01:13:20,692 --> 01:13:22,652 Speaker 2: you think the government should be doing more, whether that 1464 01:13:22,853 --> 01:13:25,852 Speaker 2: is finding more revenue streams or cutting more spending O. 1465 01:13:25,893 --> 01:13:26,892 Speaker 2: One hundred and eighteen eighty. 1466 01:13:27,013 --> 01:13:28,932 Speaker 3: Politicians want to get re elected in the short term. 1467 01:13:29,013 --> 01:13:31,253 Speaker 3: That's why they don't want to make tough decisions such 1468 01:13:32,893 --> 01:13:37,933 Speaker 3: such an entitled culture right now, says Lee. Yeah, but 1469 01:13:37,973 --> 01:13:41,173 Speaker 3: I mean, isn't the ultimate end of that to be 1470 01:13:42,452 --> 01:13:45,812 Speaker 3: oblivate benevolent dictator? So you want someone to come in 1471 01:13:46,173 --> 01:13:49,732 Speaker 3: and do what's not popular. Yeah, that's an interesting thing, 1472 01:13:49,812 --> 01:13:50,133 Speaker 3: isn't it. 1473 01:13:50,333 --> 01:13:50,532 Speaker 1: It is? 1474 01:13:50,772 --> 01:13:53,492 Speaker 3: It is so if you say there's a say, let's 1475 01:13:53,532 --> 01:13:55,412 Speaker 3: we have a five year term and the government comes 1476 01:13:55,452 --> 01:13:57,132 Speaker 3: in and does a bunch of things that are really unpopular. 1477 01:13:57,213 --> 01:13:59,053 Speaker 3: Now if the government, if the government's elected, and they 1478 01:13:59,133 --> 01:14:01,013 Speaker 3: do exactly what they've said they were going to do. 1479 01:14:01,692 --> 01:14:04,492 Speaker 3: But you do have that situation in America where a 1480 01:14:04,572 --> 01:14:06,333 Speaker 3: guy has been elected and he's doing exactly what he 1481 01:14:06,372 --> 01:14:08,932 Speaker 3: said he would do, and it's making people very angry. 1482 01:14:09,053 --> 01:14:09,253 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1483 01:14:09,333 --> 01:14:11,013 Speaker 3: But I as you think of a story, because I 1484 01:14:11,053 --> 01:14:14,932 Speaker 3: think most people expect someone to like people to campaign 1485 01:14:15,013 --> 01:14:16,093 Speaker 3: on stuff, but not really do it. 1486 01:14:16,333 --> 01:14:18,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, though those people are few and far between. I 1487 01:14:18,652 --> 01:14:20,692 Speaker 2: read a story we while ago about a Japanese mayor 1488 01:14:20,933 --> 01:14:23,293 Speaker 2: and he thought it was important that they spend a 1489 01:14:23,372 --> 01:14:25,612 Speaker 2: whole bunch of money, more money than they had to 1490 01:14:25,692 --> 01:14:28,532 Speaker 2: build a tsunami wall. And everybody hated him for that 1491 01:14:28,612 --> 01:14:30,372 Speaker 2: because he spent far too much and it's never going 1492 01:14:30,412 --> 01:14:32,412 Speaker 2: to happen to the city. And he was ousted, and 1493 01:14:32,492 --> 01:14:35,053 Speaker 2: then of course the tsunami hit in twenty eleven and 1494 01:14:35,173 --> 01:14:37,452 Speaker 2: saved that town. He was long gone, he passed away, 1495 01:14:37,732 --> 01:14:39,532 Speaker 2: but they ended up building a statue of them. But 1496 01:14:39,652 --> 01:14:41,492 Speaker 2: how you know, those sort of leaders are hard to 1497 01:14:41,532 --> 01:14:43,692 Speaker 2: come across that. He said, no, this wall is going 1498 01:14:43,732 --> 01:14:45,492 Speaker 2: to be needed. I'm going to bankrupt this town to 1499 01:14:45,492 --> 01:14:47,173 Speaker 2: make it happen because it's going to save us one day. 1500 01:14:47,652 --> 01:14:50,012 Speaker 2: And it did. And it wasn't until after that happened 1501 01:14:50,053 --> 01:14:51,852 Speaker 2: that they said he was right, We'll build a statue. 1502 01:14:51,933 --> 01:14:52,652 Speaker 2: But he's long gone. 1503 01:14:53,293 --> 01:14:55,452 Speaker 3: But it's an interesting thing that though, wasn't it though, 1504 01:14:55,732 --> 01:14:59,812 Speaker 3: Because you can be you know, Henny Penny, sky is falling, 1505 01:15:00,253 --> 01:15:02,852 Speaker 3: and you can be right, yeah, that the sky did fall, 1506 01:15:03,213 --> 01:15:05,292 Speaker 3: But that also might have been an a rageous, outrageous 1507 01:15:05,293 --> 01:15:05,732 Speaker 3: thing to say. 1508 01:15:05,853 --> 01:15:06,612 Speaker 2: Yeah, very true. 1509 01:15:06,732 --> 01:15:10,213 Speaker 3: It's like infrastructure for one hundred year rains, right, Yeah, 1510 01:15:10,253 --> 01:15:12,572 Speaker 3: so you can have a one hundred year weather event, 1511 01:15:13,133 --> 01:15:15,972 Speaker 3: and you can then spend an insane amount of money 1512 01:15:15,973 --> 01:15:19,053 Speaker 3: to protect from that. But maybe you you know, there's 1513 01:15:19,053 --> 01:15:22,692 Speaker 3: also no argument that you just have to weather the'd disaster, 1514 01:15:22,933 --> 01:15:24,812 Speaker 3: you know, and get on get on with it afterwards. 1515 01:15:25,532 --> 01:15:27,933 Speaker 3: It's such that you have money to spend on on 1516 01:15:28,093 --> 01:15:30,372 Speaker 3: things that need to be spent on that are real 1517 01:15:30,452 --> 01:15:32,612 Speaker 3: things that are happening right now. I mean, obviously it's 1518 01:15:32,612 --> 01:15:35,532 Speaker 3: an incredibly complex thing, or else someone would have solved. 1519 01:15:35,333 --> 01:15:38,772 Speaker 2: It exactly right.

So if I go around in my life 1637 01:21:01,333 --> 01:21:03,253 Speaker 3: and I go, look, I give enough to charity, because 1638 01:21:03,372 --> 01:21:05,253 Speaker 3: we all should give to charity if we can afford it, 1639 01:21:05,372 --> 01:21:08,772 Speaker 3: absolutely right. So if I think I give enough, then 1640 01:21:09,612 --> 01:21:13,173 Speaker 3: I don't give them money. And if I think this 1641 01:21:13,293 --> 01:21:14,772 Speaker 3: is a good charity and I can afford it, I 1642 01:21:14,853 --> 01:21:17,492 Speaker 3: do give the money. I can't understand the resentment. It's 1643 01:21:17,572 --> 01:21:20,372 Speaker 3: just being asked, right, I mean, do you resent being 1644 01:21:20,452 --> 01:21:23,452 Speaker 3: asked on the street if someone comes up? Actually, some 1645 01:21:23,532 --> 01:21:26,053 Speaker 3: of those charity muggers, I do resent because because they're 1646 01:21:26,093 --> 01:21:27,812 Speaker 3: on commission and then they try and shame you a 1647 01:21:27,893 --> 01:21:28,213 Speaker 3: little bit. 1648 01:21:28,333 --> 01:21:29,933 Speaker 2: Yes, well that's where I take it a little bit. 1649 01:21:30,013 --> 01:21:33,892 Speaker 3: And at one point, in a moment of like, yeah, 1650 01:21:33,933 --> 01:21:36,812 Speaker 3: one of my kids gave some money to Greenpeace, and 1651 01:21:37,372 --> 01:21:40,772 Speaker 3: green Peace never stopped harranging them even after being asked. 1652 01:21:40,893 --> 01:21:43,732 Speaker 3: I had to ask for them to stop, and they continued. 1653 01:21:43,772 --> 01:21:47,412 Speaker 3: You know, so that seems too far because they want 1654 01:21:47,452 --> 01:21:53,213 Speaker 3: the subscription donation, right, But I don't quite get it. 1655 01:21:53,293 --> 01:21:55,812 Speaker 3: So can you explain your thought process through this, tyler? 1656 01:21:55,853 --> 01:21:58,373 Speaker 3: And you're not you know, you seem like a genuinely 1657 01:21:58,492 --> 01:22:02,452 Speaker 3: nice person charity and you give people, you give them too, 1658 01:22:02,492 --> 01:22:04,892 Speaker 3: homeless people outside shops and such. 1659 01:22:05,093 --> 01:22:05,253 Speaker 10: Yep. 1660 01:22:05,412 --> 01:22:06,412 Speaker 3: So you're not an a hole. 1661 01:22:06,652 --> 01:22:07,652 Speaker 2: No, you're a good man. 1662 01:22:07,853 --> 01:22:10,052 Speaker 3: But you've feel resentful when you're asked at the counter. 1663 01:22:10,173 --> 01:22:11,293 Speaker 3: So explain that to me. 1664 01:22:11,492 --> 01:22:13,372 Speaker 2: So here's what it comes down to. And I thank 1665 01:22:13,452 --> 01:22:15,372 Speaker 2: you for asking this. So, yes, there's a part of 1666 01:22:15,452 --> 01:22:17,213 Speaker 2: it that makes me feel like I'm a bad person 1667 01:22:17,253 --> 01:22:19,333 Speaker 2: if I say no. But what I think it really 1668 01:22:19,452 --> 01:22:22,213 Speaker 2: comes down to is it's an organization and I name 1669 01:22:22,253 --> 01:22:24,293 Speaker 2: one there. I won't name them again because many people 1670 01:22:24,372 --> 01:22:26,612 Speaker 2: do this, but it's the fact that they are asking 1671 01:22:26,692 --> 01:22:28,652 Speaker 2: you as their customer, you're spending a lot of money 1672 01:22:28,772 --> 01:22:31,293 Speaker 2: in their particular retail shop. Then they ask you, do 1673 01:22:31,412 --> 01:22:33,372 Speaker 2: you want to do this for the good of charity? 1674 01:22:33,933 --> 01:22:36,692 Speaker 2: Then they will be the ones to take credit and 1675 01:22:36,812 --> 01:22:40,052 Speaker 2: say they are doing a wonderful thing. They are taking 1676 01:22:40,133 --> 01:22:43,293 Speaker 2: everybody else's money and saying, we're doing this because we're 1677 01:22:43,333 --> 01:22:46,333 Speaker 2: good people, we're a good organization. We care about Kids CAN. 1678 01:22:46,612 --> 01:22:48,852 Speaker 2: So they're taking my two bucks, they're giving it to 1679 01:22:49,452 --> 01:22:51,532 Speaker 2: kids CAN and they say, thank you very much.

I think if I go on 1696 01:23:38,772 --> 01:23:41,013 Speaker 2: to any of these organizations website and said, last year 1697 01:23:41,053 --> 01:23:43,652 Speaker 2: we donated one hundred and eighty thousand dollars to kids 1698 01:23:43,812 --> 01:23:46,372 Speaker 2: chan our kids can But did you really because that 1699 01:23:46,532 --> 01:23:48,492 Speaker 2: money came from your customers when you ask them at 1700 01:23:48,492 --> 01:23:50,293 Speaker 2: the checkout, would you like to donate two dollars? So 1701 01:23:50,333 --> 01:23:52,612 Speaker 2: it didn't really come from you.

I 1708 01:24:05,093 --> 01:24:08,692 Speaker 3: did it anonymously because I'm a superior human being to you. 1709 01:24:08,732 --> 01:24:12,333 Speaker 3: I don't need the honor. I don't need people to 1710 01:24:12,452 --> 01:24:14,612 Speaker 3: know about this very generous donation. 1711 01:24:14,692 --> 01:24:17,053 Speaker 2: That it feels nice, mate, It feels nice when people 1712 01:24:17,133 --> 01:24:18,732 Speaker 2: know that you've done it and say good on you, Matt. 1713 01:24:19,412 --> 01:24:24,372 Speaker 3: But yeah, the people that ran the organization says that 1714 01:24:24,532 --> 01:24:26,532 Speaker 3: we will give an equal donation to what you gave. 1715 01:24:26,973 --> 01:24:28,973 Speaker 2: That is different. Yeah, I'd agree to that. If they 1716 01:24:29,013 --> 01:24:31,532 Speaker 2: were going to give the equal donation to all the 1717 01:24:31,612 --> 01:24:35,212 Speaker 2: good people who gave the two bucks, then that's halfway 1718 01:24:35,253 --> 01:24:37,293 Speaker 2: good job. I mean they could do the whole lot themselves. 1719 01:24:37,492 --> 01:24:40,692 Speaker 3: Yeah. Right, Still don't quite get it. So I'd like 1720 01:24:40,772 --> 01:24:42,612 Speaker 3: to have a discussion on this. I eight one hundred 1721 01:24:42,652 --> 01:24:44,852 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty.

Well, maybe not force, but certainly 1728 01:25:01,412 --> 01:25:03,053 Speaker 2: heavily implied that you should do it to be a 1729 01:25:03,093 --> 01:25:05,333 Speaker 2: good person.

So can't you just say oh no, thanks 1778 01:27:36,053 --> 01:27:39,333 Speaker 3: and know in your spirit and your soul that you 1779 01:27:39,492 --> 01:27:42,333 Speaker 3: are doing what you can and there's absolutely no reason 1780 01:27:42,492 --> 01:27:44,772 Speaker 3: for you, George to feel bad. 1781 01:27:47,492 --> 01:27:50,572 Speaker 9: Yeah, I guess that's that's somewhat screw but it's also 1782 01:27:50,732 --> 01:27:55,492 Speaker 9: the fact that like it's the fact that like it's 1783 01:27:55,612 --> 01:27:58,492 Speaker 9: kind of on the spot too. It's like the last 1784 01:27:58,612 --> 01:28:02,773 Speaker 9: thing that they ask you, like after you've tallied up everything, 1785 01:28:02,893 --> 01:28:04,973 Speaker 9: you know, and you're looking at two hundred bucks at 1786 01:28:05,013 --> 01:28:07,053 Speaker 9: the checkout and it's like, hey, you want to top 1787 01:28:07,093 --> 01:28:10,572 Speaker 9: it up with an extra twin? Like, we we can't 1788 01:28:10,612 --> 01:28:11,492 Speaker 9: afford to do that. 1789 01:28:11,933 --> 01:28:15,412 Speaker 3: But do you think do you think what about on 1790 01:28:15,532 --> 01:28:17,532 Speaker 3: tipping you said you tipped for do you feel the 1791 01:28:17,572 --> 01:28:20,013 Speaker 3: same thing? Because normally with the tipping thing, it'll come 1792 01:28:20,093 --> 01:28:22,732 Speaker 3: up on the f POS machine and you can just 1793 01:28:22,812 --> 01:28:25,133 Speaker 3: go and quickly go through it if you don't want 1794 01:28:25,173 --> 01:28:28,412 Speaker 3: it to. So if it comes up with the FOS machine, 1795 01:28:28,492 --> 01:28:31,492 Speaker 3: do you mind less? Is it when someone at the 1796 01:28:31,572 --> 01:28:34,333 Speaker 3: counter says, and would you like to donate five dollars too? 1797 01:28:34,492 --> 01:28:36,972 Speaker 3: I remember that that becomes the problem. 1798 01:28:38,093 --> 01:28:41,092 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's when they ask you for its social pressure, 1799 01:28:41,133 --> 01:28:44,892 Speaker 2: isn't it? And I think you know it's deliberate because 1800 01:28:45,213 --> 01:28:47,053 Speaker 2: being put on the spot like that and saying, oh, 1801 01:28:47,093 --> 01:28:49,492 Speaker 2: why you're here. We've got this lovely charity that we're 1802 01:28:49,572 --> 01:28:51,053 Speaker 2: raising money for them, would you like to give a 1803 01:28:51,093 --> 01:28:51,612 Speaker 2: couple of bucks? 1804 01:28:51,652 --> 01:28:54,173 Speaker 3: But they don't know you and they're working all day currently, 1805 01:28:54,213 --> 01:28:57,892 Speaker 3: they're being waterboarded by Christmas music. They've got a whole 1806 01:28:58,053 --> 01:29:00,972 Speaker 3: line of people. They won't remember you, they don't care, 1807 01:29:01,093 --> 01:29:03,652 Speaker 3: they have kind of embarrassed to ask, and it just 1808 01:29:03,732 --> 01:29:04,053 Speaker 3: moves on. 1809 01:29:04,333 --> 01:29:06,492 Speaker 2: If that two dollars went to them, then I'd probably 1810 01:29:06,532 --> 01:29:08,053 Speaker 2: be happy to do that and say, hey, would you 1811 01:29:08,093 --> 01:29:10,692 Speaker 2: mind donating two dollars to me because I'm getting water 1812 01:29:10,732 --> 01:29:14,213 Speaker 2: boarded by Christmas. I'll say, yeah, you know, five bucks. 1813 01:29:14,333 --> 01:29:18,253 Speaker 9: You know what the best charity donation place, guilt free is. 1814 01:29:19,093 --> 01:29:21,772 Speaker 9: It's the one at the station and they give you 1815 01:29:21,853 --> 01:29:24,173 Speaker 9: the chips and then you can choose what charity you're 1816 01:29:24,213 --> 01:29:27,692 Speaker 9: donating to. So obviously the corporation is like we get 1817 01:29:27,732 --> 01:29:30,932 Speaker 9: customers coming in, Yes, six amount of period of time, 1818 01:29:31,013 --> 01:29:33,333 Speaker 9: we're going to donate this much, and then you guys 1819 01:29:33,452 --> 01:29:34,293 Speaker 9: choose which charity. 1820 01:29:34,452 --> 01:29:37,132 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that is a good system. 1821 01:29:37,293 --> 01:29:39,492 Speaker 5: But then it's like. 1822 01:29:39,652 --> 01:29:43,293 Speaker 9: You're at the supermarket and these guys are killing it. 1823 01:29:43,412 --> 01:29:46,692 Speaker 9: They've been crushing it since COVID Record profits, and then 1824 01:29:46,772 --> 01:29:49,092 Speaker 9: they have the goal to ask you to donate. 1825 01:29:50,893 --> 01:29:55,532 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, I am starting to understand. I 1826 01:29:55,652 --> 01:29:57,812 Speaker 3: am starting to understand a little bit, and that's a 1827 01:29:57,933 --> 01:30:02,293 Speaker 3: very good example, George, because that is them, you know, 1828 01:30:02,612 --> 01:30:06,572 Speaker 3: donating a percentage of what you have paid across, So 1829 01:30:06,692 --> 01:30:08,572 Speaker 3: it doesn't it's not really taking it out of what 1830 01:30:08,732 --> 01:30:11,973 Speaker 3: you're doing, and you have some agency there. I mean, 1831 01:30:12,053 --> 01:30:13,492 Speaker 3: does anyone just walk out with the chip? 1832 01:30:14,772 --> 01:30:15,372 Speaker 2: What are they worth? 1833 01:30:16,492 --> 01:30:18,972 Speaker 9: I mean, but they're not worth anything. They're only worth 1834 01:30:19,053 --> 01:30:21,093 Speaker 9: something if you put it into the right bucket. Right, 1835 01:30:21,253 --> 01:30:23,013 Speaker 9: So he walked out with the chip and then no 1836 01:30:23,093 --> 01:30:23,973 Speaker 9: one is getting. 1837 01:30:23,973 --> 01:30:25,852 Speaker 3: What about an evil person that just starts collecting the 1838 01:30:25,933 --> 01:30:29,333 Speaker 3: chips and walks around with I'm not a charity guy necklace? 1839 01:30:31,173 --> 01:30:35,772 Speaker 3: Does that guy exist? I wonder, Hey, thank you so 1840 01:30:35,893 --> 01:30:37,652 Speaker 3: much for your call, George, and you're clearly a good 1841 01:30:37,652 --> 01:30:40,013 Speaker 3: person and you have no reason to feel guilty for 1842 01:30:40,133 --> 01:30:41,213 Speaker 3: not paying. 1843 01:30:41,412 --> 01:30:44,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean, I mean that that is I 1844 01:30:44,372 --> 01:30:46,213 Speaker 2: think it's a fair argument from you that if you 1845 01:30:46,293 --> 01:30:48,572 Speaker 2: don't want to and you say politely. There was a 1846 01:30:48,652 --> 01:30:51,133 Speaker 2: text there from Kate ex don I dismissed it and 1847 01:30:51,253 --> 01:30:53,372 Speaker 2: it was a polite response that maybe is the way 1848 01:30:53,412 --> 01:30:55,692 Speaker 2: to get out of it and say, hey, thanks so much. 1849 01:30:55,732 --> 01:30:58,612 Speaker 2: I really like the charity, but I can't afford that today, 1850 01:30:58,652 --> 01:31:00,412 Speaker 2: so maybe next time. It's probably the way out of 1851 01:31:00,452 --> 01:31:02,532 Speaker 2: it is what you're saying. You can be polite and 1852 01:31:02,652 --> 01:31:03,972 Speaker 2: you still look like a good person. 1853 01:31:05,532 --> 01:31:10,412 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I totally agree with Tyler says the sex. 1854 01:31:10,412 --> 01:31:12,293 Speaker 3: So the thing that gets me is they come out 1855 01:31:12,412 --> 01:31:14,412 Speaker 3: and say that they have donated X amount when it 1856 01:31:14,532 --> 01:31:17,213 Speaker 3: is their customers, but different if they match it, et cetera. 1857 01:31:17,293 --> 01:31:19,772 Speaker 3: They also probably claim it as a tax deduction. Well 1858 01:31:19,853 --> 01:31:21,612 Speaker 3: that's an interesting thing, and I don't know the answer 1859 01:31:21,612 --> 01:31:24,732 Speaker 3: to that, and I would be interested if they claim 1860 01:31:24,772 --> 01:31:27,692 Speaker 3: it is your donation to them, but they then hand 1861 01:31:27,772 --> 01:31:30,812 Speaker 3: on to someone else's a tax deduction for them. I 1862 01:31:30,853 --> 01:31:33,013 Speaker 3: don't know if that's true. If it is, then it 1863 01:31:33,093 --> 01:31:35,213 Speaker 3: does change my perspective on the whole thing. 1864 01:31:35,293 --> 01:31:36,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it. We'll see if we can dig 1865 01:31:36,893 --> 01:31:37,133 Speaker 2: into that. 1866 01:31:37,213 --> 01:31:37,333 Speaker 5: One. 1867 01:31:37,372 --> 01:31:39,053 Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 1868 01:31:39,093 --> 01:31:40,812 Speaker 2: to call.

I 1877 01:32:06,853 --> 01:32:08,652 Speaker 2: won't name them, and I won't name the chair because 1878 01:32:08,652 --> 01:32:10,333 Speaker 2: that would give them away. But here's the line here, 1879 01:32:11,053 --> 01:32:14,012 Speaker 2: with our customers help, we've raised more than one million 1880 01:32:14,053 --> 01:32:19,053 Speaker 2: dollars for Chosen Charity.

So with our customers help, 1882 01:32:22,532 --> 01:32:25,293 Speaker 2: we've raised more than one million. The question of God 1883 01:32:25,452 --> 01:32:28,412 Speaker 2: is how much was the customers and how much was 1884 01:32:28,492 --> 01:32:31,213 Speaker 2: the organization? Because is it with the customers help or 1885 01:32:31,333 --> 01:32:34,372 Speaker 2: is it purely one hundred percent down to the customers. 1886 01:32:34,893 --> 01:32:38,452 Speaker 3: Here's a text here, tyler, really get your facts right. 1887 01:32:39,173 --> 01:32:44,013 Speaker 3: They disclose contributions from customers separate to their own donations. 1888 01:32:44,532 --> 01:32:49,092 Speaker 3: I asked the question, you muppet, I didn't state anything. 1889 01:32:49,772 --> 01:32:51,532 Speaker 3: Really get your facts right? 1890 01:32:51,812 --> 01:32:53,372 Speaker 2: Always with they get your facts right. 1891 01:32:53,772 --> 01:32:59,732 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so, I mean, nicely said mate. 1892 01:32:59,893 --> 01:33:02,213 Speaker 2: That's all that needs to be said. With ticks like that. 1893 01:33:02,933 --> 01:33:04,293 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're going to accuse someone of not 1894 01:33:04,293 --> 01:33:06,293 Speaker 3: getting their facts right, get their facts right. You get 1895 01:33:06,293 --> 01:33:10,572 Speaker 3: your facts right about what someone said, Jeez, exactly, Japers 1896 01:33:10,732 --> 01:33:11,372 Speaker 3: your muppet. 1897 01:33:11,492 --> 01:33:13,892 Speaker 2: There's some very angry people out there, murray, how are 1898 01:33:13,933 --> 01:33:14,372 Speaker 2: you mates? 1899 01:33:15,652 --> 01:33:18,852 Speaker 14: Well, mate, I've just got I've got one little wrinkle 1900 01:33:18,933 --> 01:33:22,972 Speaker 14: in the in the argument here. Personally, I don't care 1901 01:33:23,013 --> 01:33:24,852 Speaker 14: if if I feel like saying you will know that 1902 01:33:25,053 --> 01:33:28,492 Speaker 14: that's my business and I'm heavy to go either way. However, 1903 01:33:29,253 --> 01:33:32,333 Speaker 14: there are there are businesses out there that the business 1904 01:33:32,492 --> 01:33:37,812 Speaker 14: is collecting money for these organizations for greenpeace, for for 1905 01:33:38,293 --> 01:33:41,972 Speaker 14: pen cancer and stuff. Ninety percent of the money given 1906 01:33:42,333 --> 01:33:44,732 Speaker 14: is taken up in the administration of the collection of 1907 01:33:44,772 --> 01:33:48,253 Speaker 14: the money, and the organizations that they actually name they're 1908 01:33:48,253 --> 01:33:52,612 Speaker 14: getting paid a role here. So my question becomes how 1909 01:33:52,692 --> 01:33:55,372 Speaker 14: much my two bucks flows to the actual where I'm 1910 01:33:55,372 --> 01:33:58,293 Speaker 14: actually trying to give it to.

I consider it probably 1980 01:37:42,412 --> 01:37:45,692 Speaker 10: slightly more on the niche side of sport, but you 1981 01:37:45,812 --> 01:37:48,932 Speaker 10: definitely do have a point. I mean I do remember 1982 01:37:49,213 --> 01:37:52,612 Speaker 10: very vividly at primary school everyone having a go yeah, 1983 01:37:53,053 --> 01:37:55,293 Speaker 10: and everyone kind of wanting to try the high jumper 1984 01:37:55,333 --> 01:37:57,812 Speaker 10: at least one time in their life. Yeah. So I 1985 01:37:57,853 --> 01:38:01,053 Speaker 10: suppose I'm just kind of the primary school kid who 1986 01:38:01,173 --> 01:38:03,372 Speaker 10: just keept on going and never really stopped. 1987 01:38:03,452 --> 01:38:03,572 Speaker 1: Right. 1988 01:38:04,013 --> 01:38:06,612 Speaker 3: Well, it's only niche because only some people are good 1989 01:38:06,652 --> 01:38:07,973 Speaker 3: at it. If you are good at it, then you 1990 01:38:08,093 --> 01:38:11,652 Speaker 3: keep going. And you look and you were very good 1991 01:38:11,652 --> 01:38:14,092 Speaker 3: at it, so you kept going. But it's not a sport, 1992 01:38:14,173 --> 01:38:16,892 Speaker 3: it's not it's not a sport that you know, someone 1993 01:38:16,973 --> 01:38:18,852 Speaker 3: had to have a lot of gear to get into, 1994 01:38:19,013 --> 01:38:20,852 Speaker 3: someone had to have a lot of money behind them. 1995 01:38:20,933 --> 01:38:23,093 Speaker 3: Everyone tried it, and you're the best, and and you're 1996 01:38:23,093 --> 01:38:25,172 Speaker 3: a ki with So that is quite something. 1997 01:38:25,452 --> 01:38:29,372 Speaker 10: There, you go.

Hey, So looking back at this year, if you 1999 01:38:32,253 --> 01:38:34,532 Speaker 2: had to pick one moment that stood out for you 2000 01:38:34,652 --> 01:38:35,572 Speaker 2: the most, what would. 2001 01:38:35,412 --> 01:38:38,293 Speaker 10: It be, Oh, I mean, look, World Chance is a 2002 01:38:38,293 --> 01:38:42,333 Speaker 10: hard one to go past. I think, you know, probably 2003 01:38:42,452 --> 01:38:44,933 Speaker 10: probably saying that I am most proud of and and 2004 01:38:45,293 --> 01:38:48,293 Speaker 10: kind of most sort of happy and satisfied with so 2005 01:38:48,372 --> 01:38:51,293 Speaker 10: to speakers, the fact that last year was just so 2006 01:38:51,492 --> 01:38:55,333 Speaker 10: much energy and coming back from the Olympics and just 2007 01:38:55,532 --> 01:38:57,812 Speaker 10: kind of giving myself a time to celebrate and and 2008 01:38:57,973 --> 01:39:00,213 Speaker 10: just sit with it and enjoy it and and really 2009 01:39:00,293 --> 01:39:03,092 Speaker 10: kind of spend the time sitting in that in that space, 2010 01:39:03,612 --> 01:39:05,492 Speaker 10: and then having to get down on the horse the 2011 01:39:05,612 --> 01:39:08,852 Speaker 10: next year, and you know, it wasn't easy. There was 2012 01:39:08,893 --> 01:39:10,692 Speaker 10: There was deffinitely times where I was sort of questioning 2013 01:39:10,732 --> 01:39:12,772 Speaker 10: whether I wanted to go again, and and it was 2014 01:39:12,893 --> 01:39:15,093 Speaker 10: quite challenging. But to kind of get to the end 2015 01:39:15,093 --> 01:39:18,612 Speaker 10: of the season and make a real kind of you know, 2016 01:39:19,093 --> 01:39:21,732 Speaker 10: considered effort to to try and and and really feel 2017 01:39:21,772 --> 01:39:23,732 Speaker 10: like I wanted to commit, and then to be able 2018 01:39:23,772 --> 01:39:26,052 Speaker 10: to get the result that I did at World Champs 2019 01:39:26,173 --> 01:39:27,333 Speaker 10: was was very very satisfying. 2020 01:39:27,572 --> 01:39:30,093 Speaker 3: Well, I mentioned that the training is intense, So how 2021 01:39:30,173 --> 01:39:32,412 Speaker 3: does that look. How much of is gym work and 2022 01:39:32,532 --> 01:39:34,412 Speaker 3: how much of its fitness and how much is it 2023 01:39:34,692 --> 01:39:36,532 Speaker 3: just repeatedly jumping? 2024 01:39:37,933 --> 01:39:39,772 Speaker 10: Uh, well, not a lot of fitness, which is which 2025 01:39:39,853 --> 01:39:44,333 Speaker 10: is good. A lot more gym works. So I mean 2026 01:39:44,372 --> 01:39:46,372 Speaker 10: we we do we're in the gym about three times 2027 01:39:46,412 --> 01:39:48,812 Speaker 10: a week, and then I jump twice a week, and 2028 01:39:48,893 --> 01:39:50,652 Speaker 10: then I do like a couple of running sessions on 2029 01:39:50,732 --> 01:39:52,452 Speaker 10: top of that as well. So we do we do 2030 01:39:52,492 --> 01:39:54,812 Speaker 10: about six days a week of training. Uh, there's probably 2031 01:39:54,853 --> 01:39:56,972 Speaker 10: about eight sessions and that so a couple of double days. 2032 01:39:57,013 --> 01:39:59,932 Speaker 10: But yeah, it's it's it's pretty varied. You know, there's 2033 01:39:59,933 --> 01:40:01,372 Speaker 10: a lot of kind of technical stuff that we need 2034 01:40:01,412 --> 01:40:02,933 Speaker 10: to we need to cover off, but then also a 2035 01:40:02,973 --> 01:40:04,812 Speaker 10: lot of just trying to get as strong and as 2036 01:40:04,893 --> 01:40:07,572 Speaker 10: powerful as possible. So every day is flight difference and 2037 01:40:07,732 --> 01:40:10,173 Speaker 10: and yeah, it's it's it's it's sort of requires a 2038 01:40:10,213 --> 01:40:12,812 Speaker 10: lot of thinking, mainly from my team, not so much 2039 01:40:12,853 --> 01:40:15,852 Speaker 10: from me, but but you know, at times times you're asked, 2040 01:40:15,853 --> 01:40:18,253 Speaker 10: did a lot of a lot of sort of technical 2041 01:40:18,333 --> 01:40:20,133 Speaker 10: things that we're trying to achieve. So yeah, it's it's 2042 01:40:20,372 --> 01:40:22,892 Speaker 10: it's always always interesting at the track, that's for sure. 2043 01:40:23,013 --> 01:40:24,973 Speaker 3: A lot of squats. Squat's a big part of it. 2044 01:40:25,173 --> 01:40:28,452 Speaker 10: Yeah, big part squats. Actually, I actually did a little 2045 01:40:28,612 --> 01:40:30,452 Speaker 10: little squat pb this morning in the gym, which I 2046 01:40:30,452 --> 01:40:33,252 Speaker 10: was pretty heavy.

The legs the leagues were struggling. 2052 01:40:44,893 --> 01:40:46,612 Speaker 10: The back was probably struggling a wee bit more, to 2053 01:40:46,652 --> 01:40:48,892 Speaker 10: be honest, kind of felt like I was compacted awe. 2054 01:40:49,013 --> 01:40:51,652 Speaker 10: But but that's that's just what we do, right. 2055 01:40:51,933 --> 01:40:54,133 Speaker 3: What about the mental side of it, because you know, 2056 01:40:54,253 --> 01:40:58,452 Speaker 3: high jump is a you know, it's a very Yeah, 2057 01:40:58,492 --> 01:41:00,372 Speaker 3: the mental game is obviously clear, and you've got quite 2058 01:41:00,372 --> 01:41:03,333 Speaker 3: a famous, you know, routine before you do do your jump. 2059 01:41:03,492 --> 01:41:04,973 Speaker 3: You know, how much is how much of that is 2060 01:41:05,013 --> 01:41:05,572 Speaker 3: it in your prep? 2061 01:41:06,853 --> 01:41:09,053 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it's you know, you go back to, 2062 01:41:09,412 --> 01:41:11,692 Speaker 10: you know, trying high jump to primary school and everyone 2063 01:41:11,772 --> 01:41:12,973 Speaker 10: sort of had to go And I think a lot 2064 01:41:12,973 --> 01:41:15,293 Speaker 10: of people echo the fact that it is a pretty 2065 01:41:15,412 --> 01:41:18,612 Speaker 10: intimidating thing having that bar and kind of knowing you 2066 01:41:18,692 --> 01:41:22,253 Speaker 10: have to get over it. Right, It's a pretty common 2067 01:41:22,333 --> 01:41:23,253 Speaker 10: feeling a lot of people have. 2068 01:41:23,572 --> 01:41:25,372 Speaker 3: It's metaphorical and physical bar. 2069 01:41:25,532 --> 01:41:28,253 Speaker 10: You have to get over it, oh exactly. And it's 2070 01:41:28,253 --> 01:41:30,333 Speaker 10: also it's tough because it doesn't matter how high you 2071 01:41:30,412 --> 01:41:32,492 Speaker 10: clear it. It only counts for the clearance that the 2072 01:41:32,532 --> 01:41:35,253 Speaker 10: bar is set at. So you know, it is a 2073 01:41:35,333 --> 01:41:37,692 Speaker 10: massive mind game. But I think I love that, Like 2074 01:41:37,933 --> 01:41:42,333 Speaker 10: it kind of feels like chess at times, because you know, 2075 01:41:42,412 --> 01:41:44,812 Speaker 10: when you're out there and you're feeling good and you're 2076 01:41:44,853 --> 01:41:47,612 Speaker 10: sort of trying to trying to obviously compete with all 2077 01:41:47,652 --> 01:41:51,253 Speaker 10: these other guys, it can become very technical around who 2078 01:41:51,452 --> 01:41:53,892 Speaker 10: is jumping well early in the competition, but then who 2079 01:41:53,933 --> 01:41:55,652 Speaker 10: actually kind of has the leaks to continue on and 2080 01:41:56,213 --> 01:41:57,732 Speaker 10: sort of how much me doing you do you use 2081 01:41:58,093 --> 01:42:00,412 Speaker 10: to get through the competition, but then also to kind 2082 01:42:00,412 --> 01:42:02,053 Speaker 10: of save up for the end. So I love it, 2083 01:42:02,812 --> 01:42:04,972 Speaker 10: but but you had times it can be pretty draining, 2084 01:42:05,013 --> 01:42:07,692 Speaker 10: and I definitely feel like I come home after quite 2085 01:42:07,692 --> 01:42:10,213 Speaker 10: a big season and I'm quite thankful for the fact 2086 01:42:10,253 --> 01:42:12,053 Speaker 10: I don't have to think about trying to get over 2087 01:42:12,093 --> 01:42:14,253 Speaker 10: the next bar for at least a couple of months. 2088 01:42:14,333 --> 01:42:17,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, during that off season. Genuine question, do you 2089 01:42:17,333 --> 01:42:20,012 Speaker 2: get any pressure You're at a party around mate's family 2090 01:42:20,772 --> 01:42:23,892 Speaker 2: and party trucks the wrong word, but any preciare to say, hey, Mash, 2091 01:42:23,973 --> 01:42:25,333 Speaker 2: you know we've seen it on the tally.

Let me soaber up a burton. Yeah, it's 2101 01:42:50,333 --> 01:42:52,893 Speaker 10: not the greatest thing in the world. It's not super transferable, 2102 01:42:52,973 --> 01:42:55,333 Speaker 10: but I have jumped over a couple of people in 2103 01:42:55,412 --> 01:42:59,173 Speaker 10: the past research down at the track, and I, yeah, 2104 01:42:59,372 --> 01:43:02,052 Speaker 10: can confirm as possible. 2105 01:43:02,412 --> 01:43:05,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of party trucks, I guess you would be 2106 01:43:05,372 --> 01:43:07,173 Speaker 3: not that great at Limbo. You know you're more of 2107 01:43:07,173 --> 01:43:08,932 Speaker 3: an over a bar rather than an under a bark 2108 01:43:09,053 --> 01:43:09,452 Speaker 3: kind of guy. 2109 01:43:09,692 --> 01:43:09,852 Speaker 5: Yes. 2110 01:43:10,053 --> 01:43:12,692 Speaker 10: Yeah, I have tried lumba a couple of times.

So looking back on this year and it's 2114 01:43:17,333 --> 01:43:19,253 Speaker 2: been a huge ef your haymash, where do you think 2115 01:43:19,532 --> 01:43:23,012 Speaker 2: you made the biggest improvements in your jumps Obviously height's 2116 01:43:23,013 --> 01:43:25,013 Speaker 2: a big thing, because that's key there, but just in 2117 01:43:25,093 --> 01:43:26,452 Speaker 2: the general technique. 2118 01:43:27,253 --> 01:43:33,652 Speaker 10: I think I think probably it's probably not like a 2119 01:43:33,692 --> 01:43:35,492 Speaker 10: technical change, but I think it's just a belief I've 2120 01:43:35,532 --> 01:43:39,692 Speaker 10: gotten in the program that we've built. So this year 2121 01:43:39,933 --> 01:43:43,492 Speaker 10: I was jumping kind of low to twenties about four 2122 01:43:43,532 --> 01:43:47,732 Speaker 10: months out from World Champs, and in the past, you know, 2123 01:43:47,853 --> 01:43:49,452 Speaker 10: to be jumping that sort of height and then kind 2124 01:43:49,492 --> 01:43:51,452 Speaker 10: of been able to turn it around to getting into 2125 01:43:51,492 --> 01:43:53,412 Speaker 10: the two meters thirties and then and then up to 2126 01:43:53,772 --> 01:43:56,372 Speaker 10: two thirty six, which is my personal best. It has 2127 01:43:56,452 --> 01:43:59,652 Speaker 10: taken a long time, but this year, given the knowledge 2128 01:43:59,692 --> 01:44:01,852 Speaker 10: that we've got of how I operate and what I 2129 01:44:01,933 --> 01:44:03,692 Speaker 10: need to actually achieve in my training before being able 2130 01:44:03,732 --> 01:44:05,053 Speaker 10: to do that in competition, we were able to turn 2131 01:44:05,053 --> 01:44:07,652 Speaker 10: it around really quickly. And so I think I think 2132 01:44:07,692 --> 01:44:11,053 Speaker 10: for me that that ability to know that at any 2133 01:44:11,053 --> 01:44:13,053 Speaker 10: given moment, even if I'm not jumping those heights in 2134 01:44:13,093 --> 01:44:16,892 Speaker 10: training and feeling like I'm completely sending it at training. 2135 01:44:17,253 --> 01:44:21,572 Speaker 10: The I suppose it's it's the clues and the hunts 2136 01:44:21,652 --> 01:44:25,133 Speaker 10: within the training, which we're starting to really understand really 2137 01:44:25,173 --> 01:44:27,692 Speaker 10: well as to what kind of shape I'm in is 2138 01:44:28,053 --> 01:44:30,652 Speaker 10: something that actually just makes me sleep way better at night. 2139 01:44:31,412 --> 01:44:33,812 Speaker 10: You know, in the past, it's it's always that constant 2140 01:44:33,853 --> 01:44:36,532 Speaker 10: stress of you know, have I have I been jumping 2141 01:44:36,572 --> 01:44:38,093 Speaker 10: well enough in training to the intern around in a 2142 01:44:38,093 --> 01:44:40,812 Speaker 10: competition and do really well. And I think that, you know, 2143 01:44:40,893 --> 01:44:42,933 Speaker 10: as we go through as process more and more, I 2144 01:44:43,333 --> 01:44:45,812 Speaker 10: do know that, you know, there are things in training 2145 01:44:45,853 --> 01:44:48,452 Speaker 10: I can do that really make me jump well in competition. 2146 01:44:48,692 --> 01:44:50,572 Speaker 10: And I suppose I'm talking about that from a from 2147 01:44:50,572 --> 01:44:52,933 Speaker 10: a perspective of in training, we don't actually jump that 2148 01:44:53,013 --> 01:44:56,932 Speaker 10: high often, and so I suppose it's just me contending 2149 01:44:56,973 --> 01:44:59,133 Speaker 10: with the fact that that's actually just normal and that's okay. 2150 01:45:00,013 --> 01:45:03,253 Speaker 3: So you were well known before Tokyo. Then in New 2151 01:45:03,372 --> 01:45:06,732 Speaker 3: Zealand after Tokyo you jumped up to every man, woman 2152 01:45:06,812 --> 01:45:09,213 Speaker 3: and child, knowing who hamoss Ker wars and what you 2153 01:45:09,333 --> 01:45:11,293 Speaker 3: look like. How have you how have you dealt with that, 2154 01:45:11,692 --> 01:45:13,932 Speaker 3: particularly when you come back into into New Zealand. 2155 01:45:15,412 --> 01:45:18,812 Speaker 10: It's yeah, I mean, I think for me, I am 2156 01:45:18,973 --> 01:45:24,013 Speaker 10: very grateful for that. Like I remember idolizing a lot 2157 01:45:24,093 --> 01:45:26,572 Speaker 10: of sporting heroes when I was growing up and notable 2158 01:45:26,572 --> 01:45:28,812 Speaker 10: news yonders, and I think, you know, for me, I 2159 01:45:28,933 --> 01:45:31,772 Speaker 10: was just so motivated and so inspired by by what 2160 01:45:32,133 --> 01:45:34,173 Speaker 10: we can't achieve, you know, this little country can achieve 2161 01:45:34,213 --> 01:45:36,692 Speaker 10: and what things we put put our country on the 2162 01:45:36,732 --> 01:45:39,093 Speaker 10: map force. So I think, yeah, to kind of add 2163 01:45:39,173 --> 01:45:41,293 Speaker 10: high jump to that, it's it's not something I ever 2164 01:45:41,372 --> 01:45:43,892 Speaker 10: thought i'd be able to do, but but yeah, I'm 2165 01:45:43,933 --> 01:45:45,973 Speaker 10: just super grateful for that. So yeah, I love it 2166 01:45:46,013 --> 01:45:48,253 Speaker 10: when when kids come up to me and, you know, 2167 01:45:48,412 --> 01:45:52,532 Speaker 10: ask me for some high jump tips, I usually tell 2168 01:45:52,572 --> 01:45:55,213 Speaker 10: them that there's my coach's job, not mine. But yeah, 2169 01:45:55,253 --> 01:45:57,452 Speaker 10: it's it's it's very it's very very cool. 2170 01:45:58,173 --> 01:45:58,772 Speaker 5: I love it. 2171 01:45:58,853 --> 01:46:00,852 Speaker 10: But yeah it can be funny as well, Like I 2172 01:46:01,133 --> 01:46:03,652 Speaker 10: am suck what sucks.
