1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Gail Downey, our UK correspondents with me. Hello Gail, Hello, right,

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: So what is the government doing in your part of

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: the world about these repeat protests.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: Yes, so they've made these announcements that they're going to

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: make some changes to the law following the rest of

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: almost five hundred people who took part in the weekend's

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: pro Palestinians demonstration in London. There have been a number

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: of these demonstrations over the past couple of months and

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: the Home Secretary, should been in the mood, has said,

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: you know, enough is enough from now on. The plan

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: is that police forces will have the power to stop

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: organizers using the same location for protests. So if the

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: numbers have been held there already, which they have been

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: in central London, it means the organizers may have to

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: hold their events elsewhere.

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: What do you make of these plans to give the

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: young people some money towards their first homes.

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: Well, it's an interesting one, isn't it. Actually, because also

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: the government has made some announcement today about helping first

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: time buyers because actually it's quite difficult. It can be

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: quite a long process buying a home. Hearing's quite complicated

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: and quite expensive and it's the Tory Party conference this

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 2: week and what they've said, the Shadow Chancellor has said, look,

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: we're going to give young people a five thousand pounds

25
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: ten thousand pound New Zealand dollars tax rebate towards their

26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: first home when they get their full first full time job.

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: So they're linking getting a job with getting tax supports.

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: So what they're saying is this is about rewarding work. Now,

29
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: how a they're going to pay for it? What they

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: say is that the payment will be funded by cuts

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: to public spending on welfare, the civil service and the

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: foreign aid budget.

33
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, gir, but

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: you ain't going to be buying a house un least

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: you've got a job, are you.

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I can't ever foresee a time when any lender would

37
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: lend you some money without you having a job. So

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: it is an interesting one that it's part. It's a conference,

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: so things are said at conferences, you know, these things,

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: whether they ever come to fruition. Of course, the first

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: thing that must happen is for the Conservatives to come

42
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: to power. And there isn't an election here for at

43
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: least another two years.

44
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: You know, why do you reckon it is that there

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: has been this increase in the sale of evs.

46
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: Well two things really, and what analysts are saying is firstly,

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: the government, because they want to get people to buy evs,

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: is that they are offering discounts to people. So the

49
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: Grant scheme, say you buy a small fully electric car

50
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: for about thirty four thousand dollars, which will be the

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: absolute starting point. They rise up to one hundred thousand

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: dollars probably more, you'll get a discount of eight and

53
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: a half thousand New Zealand dollars. So doing the maths there,

54
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: you can end up paying about twenty six thousand dollars

55
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: for a new electric car, and the government is giving

56
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: this discount because it wants to encourage people. The other thing,

57
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: of course, is that there are so many changes in

58
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: terms of you know, charging points that are going to

59
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: be put up everywhere, the far far more charging points.

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: You can have one at your home, of course, and

61
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: there are some cities where actually you know, you've got

62
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: to be really careful if you don't have an EVY

63
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: or your car is of a certain type, you get

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: charged like a congestion charge for going into the cities.

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Gail I need you to clear something up for me,

66
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: because I can't be sure. Is the noise in the

67
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: background a small dog or a parrot? Oh, it's a

68
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: small dog. It is a small dog.

69
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: It's it's my small dog. I do apologize. I have

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: put her in the other room, but she likes to

71
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: join in, so I mean.

72
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: Look, you know all about audience participation. Gail, thank you

73
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: for that, Gail Downey, UK correspondent, glad I settle that

74
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: otherwise I think, geez, she's got a parrot.

75
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: People with parrots say, remember when parrots were a thing.

76
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: It was my best friend when I was in primary

77
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: school had a parrot called Charlie, and Charlie was a

78
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: crack up. But I cannot think of a single person

79
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: since the late I reckon Charlie only died Geese. I

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: reckon Charlie only died in the mid two thousands. But

81
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: who has had a parrot since the mid two thousands.

82
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Nobody has birds anymore, do they? Is it is a

83
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: strange thing to am I wrong, it's a strange thing

84
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: to have. It's not a pet that you have nowadays,

85
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: see anyone. I'm glad that Gail is not a bird person,

86
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: But in fact, it just as I am, you know,

87
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: small dog person, which is much more normal.
