1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Michael Riddell, who appears on the show Fairbet, has put

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: the Adrian Or resignation back in the news. Now he

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: has a source, he claims close to the action that

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: in simple terms suggests that what really happened was that

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: all pact is sad at a couple of meetings, one

6
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: of which was Worth Nikola Willis, the chair of the

7
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: rb Neil Quigley wrote to War with a list of

8
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: concerns over that behavior and therefore or quit. The underlying

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: issue appears to be the fact the government were determined

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: to cut the Reserve Bank's budget, which ultimately, of course,

11
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: they were successful in doing. Why Because, like everything else

12
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: under the Labour government, too much money was spent, things

13
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: blew out and the Reserve Bank had wandered off into

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: new and expensive areas that didn't need to be in

15
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: the main point being essentially what we thought happened did

16
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Adrian Orr has a short vieus, a fairly elevated sense

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: of entitlements and importance and didn't like what was unfolding,

18
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: which is fine. Didn't have to like it, and if

19
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: he disliked it so much he could have walked, which

20
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: he did. But here is where this is important. He

21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: held a critical role in all our lives. People in

22
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: jobs like that need to be exemplary, exemplary and execution

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: exemplary in person. He wasn't. He was a failure, which

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: then takes us back to how he got the job.

25
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: Grant not only did robertson a point or he reappointed him.

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: Bad people make bad decisions, and those bad decisions go

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: on to have consequences. By way of contrast, what do

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: you reckon? The pressure on Jerome Powell is right now? Eh?

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: Is Powell yelling and packing as sad as Powell going

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: to quit in a massive Hessy fit and vanish from

31
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: the face of the earth without a word. I got

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: a dollar with anyone who wants it that The answer

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: to that is no. Maybe your doesn't give a monkeys.

34
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Maybe your is that sort of bloke so inflated and

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: mesmerized by himself he's well passed any reputational reflection. Maybe

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: Grants too. But the damage still sits in our bank

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: accounts and rates bills, an economic funk to this day.

38
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: The bloke who stuffed the joint packed us sad stormed out,

39
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: never to be heard from again. It is a sad

40
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: indictment on a role and influence that should have been

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: handled a great deal more elegantly and with a mile

42
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: more professionalism. For more from The Mic Asking Breakfast, listen
