Heather Duplessy on Drive with One New Zealand, 3 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Let's get connected news talks. 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 2: That'd be. 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 3: Afternoon. Welcome to the show coming up today. This advice 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 3: that we need to crack down on cash if we 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 3: want to crack down on organized crime. We're going to 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 3: get the Minister's sake on that talked to New Zealand 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 3: Rugby about its third straight loss and this is despite 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 3: record revenue, and we're going to speak to an offshop 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 3: about the problem of us taking our undies with holes 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 3: to charity shops for them to sort through. 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 4: Heather Duplessy, Ala, I get full disclosure. 14 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 3: The reason that the boys who are on air just 15 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 3: before me decided to suddenly just start talking about Mark 16 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: Lundy without any notice that they were going to talk 17 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 3: about Mark Lundy was because I put them up to it. 18 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 3: So what happened is I bailed into the studio to 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: chat to them in the three o'clock news that I 20 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: wanted to know what they thought. And the reason I 21 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: wanted to know what they thought is because it has 22 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: divided our workplace out there and some of my col 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: leagues think that it's really gross that the Herald, who 24 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 3: we work with, have taken photos of Mark Lundy today 25 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 3: after he got out of jail yesterday. Now the photos 26 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 3: aren't anything particularly special. He's sitting in the passenger seat 27 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: of a car. All you can really see is his face, 28 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: very sad face, that funny little beard that he keeps 29 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 3: on rocking some sunglasses in his Latte colored hoodie. It 30 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: tells you nothing. It shows you almost nothing, And I 31 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: suspect the reason it shows you almost nothing is because 32 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 3: there are very heavy suppress suppression orders about where he 33 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 3: lives at the moment, So anything that identifies the town 34 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: outside of the car, I would imagine, cannot be published. 35 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 3: So they're a little bit limited on what they can 36 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: show you. But even though there's almost nothing to see 37 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: in these photos, boy, are we clicking on this particular story. 38 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 3: It was when I last checked, the most red and 39 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: most viewed story on the Herald. So people are interested, 40 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 3: and shouldn't the media be reporting and taking photos of 41 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: things that we're interested in? I would say yes. Now, 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: I can understand why people are grossed out by this. 43 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 3: I suspect a lot of that comes down to the 44 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 3: fact that there is significant doubt amongst some people as 45 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: to Lundy's gelt, just as there was doubt with David Baine, 46 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: just as there was doubt with Scott Watson. And so 47 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: the feeling is if you think you haven't he hasn't 48 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 3: done it, then you feel gross about the fact that 49 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: he keeps on being harrised after serving his time. But remember, 50 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: until he proves otherwise, he is a man who is 51 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: convicted of murdering his wife and daughter, and his trial 52 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: and his behavior around that gripped the nation and frankly 53 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: turned him to him into one of the most famous 54 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 3: or infamous people in the country. So he is a 55 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: legitimate news story. And it's not really a question actually 56 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 3: of whether the Herald should have taken those photos. It's 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: actually just a question of where you were going to 58 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: see that photo first, because you were going to see 59 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 3: it somewhere. If it wasn't on the Herald, it will 60 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: be on some other news outlet, or just someone popping 61 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 3: down to the local coffee shop seeing Mark Lundy there 62 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: taking a photo of him and putting it on social media, 63 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: because we all know what he looks like and clearly 64 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 3: we're all interested in him. And it was going to 65 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 3: happen sooner or later, wasn't it? 66 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: Heather? 67 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: Two nine two text number and standard text fees apply, 68 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 3: of course. Now Labor to fight back against what it 69 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 3: says is the tobacco industry's influence over government. A member's 70 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 3: bill in the name of Labour's Eicheverral would ban government 71 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 3: support for the tobacco industry and require full transparency around 72 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 3: tobacco lobbying. Iicheverral is with me now, Heyisha. 73 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 5: Hey Heather, thanks for having me on. 74 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 3: It's good to talk to you now. The headline of 75 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: your press release says Labor is launching a member's bill 76 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: to stop the government from putting tobacco industry interests ahead 77 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: of public health. How would you stop from putting that 78 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: ahead of public health? 79 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 5: The bill says that the government isn't allowed to support 80 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 5: the tobacco industry, and it also has a number of 81 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 5: steps to require that any contact or interaction with the 82 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 5: tobacco industry is transparent. So it's reported, okay. 83 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: And then what happens if it's reported? What do we 84 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: do with it? 85 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: Well, a couple of things. Firstly, it means that journalists 86 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 5: like yourself can follow up on those links public size 87 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 5: them and ask questions New Zealanders should know if there's 88 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 5: been tobacco industry involvement between ministers and officials when particular 89 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 5: proposals are draft up. And that's what the bill does. 90 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: I can do you think a similar approach needs to 91 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: be taken with everybody who lobbies or just with the 92 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: tobacco guys. 93 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 5: No, I don't. Tobacco is a uniquely harmful product. It 94 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 5: kills half the people that use it. We don't have 95 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 5: other products like that. So that's why we need this 96 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 5: specific focus on tobacco. 97 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: What about though, the vaping industry. 98 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. The other part of this is New Zealand over 99 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 5: ten years ago figned a framework Convention on tobacco control. 100 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 5: Because tobacco control around the world, the industry tries and 101 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 5: undermines it. So we haven't even brought into law those 102 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 5: obligations we have under that convention, and that's what this 103 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 5: bill is trying to do. 104 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: But do you know what I mean? Like, I just 105 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 3: wonder if we are making these guys the big bad 106 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: guys and then ignoring other things that could be equally harmful, 107 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 3: like vaping for example. 108 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, Look that as time goes on, we've learned more 109 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 5: and more about the harms to do with saping. That 110 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 5: tobacco is the most harmful product that's sold to consumers 111 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 5: in the world. So I think it does need its 112 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 5: own approach to stop our laws being changed for the 113 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 5: tobacco industry when actually we want them to support public health. 114 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: How many people smoke in this country at the moment, 115 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 3: I should Oh, it's. 116 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 5: I can't tell you the number, but it's six point 117 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 5: one percent. I think six point four percent. 118 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 3: And do you know how many of us of us 119 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 3: suck on those USB sticks and call them vapes? 120 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 5: Not so many, but a growing number, particularly amongst young people. 121 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 5: We saw the rate of use shaping a kick up 122 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 5: to about ten percent. Now it's coming down slightly, and 123 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 5: I hope it goes down further. 124 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: You don't think is that's smaller. It's smaller than I 125 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 3: would have thought. More of us are vaping than smoking. 126 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 5: It depends which age group you look at. 127 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 3: I believe, I believe it's something. It's still you'll know 128 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: more people who vape and smoke crime. That's right, Yeah, 129 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 3: me too, Okay, so do you The only point I'm 130 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 3: trying to make is I just feel like you guys 131 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: are weirdly fixated by the tobacco industry, and you are 132 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 3: ignoring things that are potentially more problematic and more widespread. 133 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 5: I hope we don't ignore them, and when Labor launches 134 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 5: its health policy, we'll look at all of the opportunities 135 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 5: to prevent ill health. Tobacco and vaping another's okay, but 136 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 5: my thought tells more people than anything else, any other product. 137 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: Well at the moment, because we've been smoking it for 138 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 3: donkeys years. 139 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 6: Right. 140 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 3: The reason I'm sort of saying this I share is 141 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: because I feel like this is a political move. Like 142 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: it's not to say that this is without merit, but 143 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 3: it just feels really weirdly political from you guys. You're 144 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 3: just having a crack at Casey Costello here on tobacco, 145 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: and so you're doing this when actually, if you really 146 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 3: cared about lobbying in people's health, you should be extending 147 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 3: it to all lobbying maybe or anything that people suck 148 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: into their lungs, not just tobacco. 149 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. Look, I think you're throw making valid a valid point. 150 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 5: We do need to keep it further improving our laws 151 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 5: on vaping. We supported the last bill that cac Costello 152 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 5: put up on vaping because we do think that's important. Yeah, 153 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 5: but just remember vaping is not yet linked to debt 154 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 5: in the way that tobacco. 155 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: Is not yet because we haven't been sucking it long in. 156 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 5: Fa Well, the other day we saw one of the 157 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 5: first studies linking at to chronic lung disease, and I 158 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 5: think that does mean we need to take vaping more 159 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 5: seriously than we have. 160 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: Asha, it's good to talk to you. I really appreciate it. 161 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: Thanks mate, look after yourself. As ashiverral Labour's health spokesperson. Hey, 162 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: it looks like the UK is going to be the 163 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: first country to strike a trade deal with the US. 164 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: Now this is being reported by multiple outlets on both 165 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: sides of the Atlantic. So you've got it coming out 166 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: of the US, got to come out of the UK. 167 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,559 Speaker 3: It's going to be announced apparently Thursday morning, White House type, 168 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: Washington time. Donald Trump teased it just in the last 169 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: few hours on social media said, big news conference tomorrow 170 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: at ten am the Office concerning caplocks a major trade 171 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: deal with representatives of a big and highly respected country. 172 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: The first of many exclamation, exclamation, exclamation. Now if it 173 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: is the UK, that's a surprise, because up to now 174 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: they've been sort of telling us that the UK is 175 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: the third tier country in Phase three, not even not 176 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 3: even a priority. He was going to be Asian countries first. 177 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: And if it is the UK, it also goes some 178 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: way to answering a question which we've asked on the show, 179 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 3: which is the better approach to take with Trump or 180 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: the tariffs? Is it to fight him like Canada? Or 181 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: is it to kiss his butt like kissed armor. And 182 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: if it turns out that it's the UK, then the 183 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: answer is very much good idea to kisses butt. Quught 184 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: a past. 185 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 4: It's the Heather dupas Allen Drive Full Show. 186 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: Podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks B. 187 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: Heather, I had to pull over and ask a crackdown 188 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 3: on cash.

What about 191 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: people like me who keep upwards of ten thousand dollars 192 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 3: under the mattress, so to speak. I smell a big 193 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: rat around us.

So that they've announced the squad they're going 209 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 3: to take on Australia. 210 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 7: Yes, Laura Railey, Trophy number one. It's part of the 211 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 7: Pack four, which is the tour between them and the 212 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 7: other nations on the Pacific Chiban, Canada and the USA. 213 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 7: That's part of their leader. Then they are playing the 214 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 7: second game for trophy against Australia later on the piece. 215 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 7: They've also got a possible's probables match I suppose you'd 216 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 7: say against the Black Fiend's fifteen, which may be one 217 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 7: of the matches before they go. Now, there's not a 218 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 7: lot of time between now and the World Cup, but 219 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 7: there's enough for lots of tests. But they're not having 220 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 7: lots of tests. They're only having a Cup Lee which 221 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 7: is not unlike the All Blacks in a World Cup year, 222 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 7: so you get that. But it's been named today the 223 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 7: new Girl. No surprise here is Braxton Sorenson McGee, the 224 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 7: ghost Runner. And I'll carry on banging that nickname in 225 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 7: until it stapstics, which it won't. U phenomenal player, wonderful 226 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 7: to watch, just through gaps like oh, I love that. 227 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 7: It's amazing. So she's in the side. So this is great, 228 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 7: but it all starts in earnest. The either depends on 229 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 7: how you look at it, the defense of the Rugby 230 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 7: World Cup or the chance to win it all over again. 231 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 3: Darcy. Yes, Perth's getting an NROL team. 232 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 7: And it's ridiculous. 233 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: Why is it ridiculous? 234 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 7: What are they calling it? 235 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 3: What are they calling it? 236 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 7: The Bears after who? The North Sydney Bears, the famous 237 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 7: North Sydney Bears who actually comboed up with Manly and 238 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 7: it failed. This is back in two thousand. They wanted 239 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 7: to keep them going because North Bears with their red 240 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 7: and black white a famous club throughout the NRL for 241 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 7: years and years. So finally twenty twenty seven, Perth going 242 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 7: to get a club. They've been negotiating this for I 243 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 7: don't know how long. So long they had the Western 244 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 7: Reads but that was that was a fair The only 245 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 7: lasted a couple of years before I think the NRL 246 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 7: changed its its route and combo together, so the readmittance 247 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 7: after the Super League problem. So they're back and Western 248 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 7: Australia is very significant because it's a big part of Australia. 249 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 7: They're actually going to be playing before the Papa and 250 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 7: New Guineese plays, so there will be team number seventeen. 251 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 7: Why call it the Bears? Why call it. 252 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 3: That's your big hay up? I want to know why 253 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 3: they got one before the South Island. 254 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,359 Speaker 7: Well it took them at eighteen seventeen years of negotiations. 255 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 7: I think we just have to be patient. 256 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 3: Well we're not Australia. 257 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 7: It's the National Rugby League, International rug Why would you 258 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 7: call it the Bears? Give it another name. 259 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: I don't even know why you were. 260 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 7: Give it the Bear. But the Bears is a north 261 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 7: and the icon's got nothing to do with the Western 262 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 7: Australia Old Perth. It's a slap. Yeah, I'm over in 263 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 7: Western Australia and goring a lot of energy to this. 264 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 7: Don't want some second hand name from the past. Okay, sorry, 265 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 7: I just you know, they should call it the quaggas. 266 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: It's always weird when people get upset about something you 267 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 3: actually don't care about at all. 268 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 7: It should be the quagers. 269 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: Here it is, don't you reckon? Darcy? Thank you, Darcy 270 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 3: water Graves sports talk host. You'll be back at seven 271 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 3: this evening. 272 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: It's four twenty two, moving the big stories of the 273 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: day forward. Aw it's Heather Duplicy on drive with One 274 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: New Zealand let's get connected news talks that'd be Prime. 275 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 3: Ministers given a pre budget speech in Auckland today and 276 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 3: I read the coverage overn and I really don't know 277 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: what it was about. It was so boring. I'm not 278 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: going to lie to you. I thought maybe there's something, 279 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: maybe he's dropped some sort of hint about the budget 280 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: in here that I can sort of, you know, give 281 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: you some juice. Nothing at all anyway, So Jason Walls 282 00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: has had a closer look at it. But this is 283 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: not unusual. Why I'm telling you this is not unusual 284 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: for a Chris Luxin speech. Often when Chris Luxen does 285 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: economic speeches, they are just kind of they dry your 286 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 3: tear ducts, do you know what I mean, because it's 287 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 3: just so dull and I think he's slipped back into 288 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 3: this today. So anyway, that's not unusual, that's not even newsworthy. 289 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: But Jason Walls is going through it's for us and 290 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 3: just seeing if there's anything that I have missed that 291 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 3: is worth bringing to your attention about the budget which 292 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: will be unveiled in a couple of weeks time. Heather, 293 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 3: this is the chat on the cash. I've got to 294 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: answer this question. What are we going to do about 295 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: the cash? The crackdown on cash is quite specific, right, 296 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 3: So organized crime, as you well know, these people run 297 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: around with bags and bags of cash and then they 298 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 3: go buy cars. And why that doesn't you know, flag 299 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: like raise the red flags immediately when somebody turns up 300 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 3: with a uffel bag of cash and want to buy 301 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 3: a Mercedes g Wagon, I feel like at that point 302 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 3: you should probably be not selling them the vehicle. I 303 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: don't know, exercising some due diligence, I don't know. Anyway, 304 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 3: what the organized crime experts have told the government is 305 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 3: that it would go a long way to kind of 306 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: helping us deal with organized crime if we crack down 307 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: on cash wages, in certain industries. There are some industries 308 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: that are high risk for organized crime and for laundering, 309 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 3: and they are construction and hospitality, And if we stop 310 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: paying these people in cash, then it might go somewhere 311 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: to fixing this solution. It feels like a very difficult 312 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: thing to do because surely you're entitled to ask for 313 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: your wages. I would have thought in cash. We'll talk 314 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: to the ministry about it. The minister responsible for this 315 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: is Casey Costello, and she'll be this after five. Also, 316 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: there is a problem with people dumping crappy clothes on 317 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: the op shops. Now the op shops have gone public 318 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 3: with this because I think it's actually starting to cost 319 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: them money. They I mean, one of them says. This 320 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: is one in Kaiko here said, you know, they would 321 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: only have to go to the tip every now and 322 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: again and get rid of all the stuff that you know, 323 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: you can't on sale. But now they're having to basically 324 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 3: have a skip bin emptied twice a month. That is 325 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: how much crappy clothing we're giving this particular place. And 326 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: it's stuff that you should know better about, right like 327 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: nobody once you're underwear with holes in it, if you 328 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 3: don't want your underwear with holes in it, Like you 329 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: clearly have a long tolerance for wearing like crappy undies. 330 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: But if you get to the point where even you think, 331 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: oh I'm gonna put this, don't give it to the 332 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 3: option what to get doing. Having said that, I wouldn't 333 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 3: mind a little bit, I feel like I'd probably been 334 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 3: at risk of giving them stuff that's just rubbish. 335 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 9: Do you know what I mean? 336 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 3: I would like to know kind of like what the 337 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: cutoff point is? Do you know what I mean? Anyway, 338 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: the SPCA is going to be with us five fifteen. 339 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: Or so, recapping the day's big news and making tomorrow's headlines. 340 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: It's hither duplicy, Ellen, drive with one New Zealand let's 341 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: get connected news talks. 342 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 4: That'd be. 343 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 10: The better the things that I've gone. 344 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 3: Whether we are not all interested in Mark Lundy, so 345 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: called journalists like you continue to Harris and please give 346 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 3: a guy a break, as they say he's done the 347 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 3: crime and then he served the time. Surely this issue 348 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: is a first world issue when around the world people 349 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: are being killed, now discussion on that topic is of interest, 350 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: Thank you, Glenn. 351 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 11: You're wrong. 352 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 3: Obviously people are interested. That's why it's the most read 353 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 3: story on the Herald. So there you go. By the way, 354 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: we've got a poll out from Curia, and we're going 355 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 3: to talk to Jason Wall's political editor about that. Curier 356 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 3: Taxpayers Union, Nationals in Front Labor is behind, but I'll 357 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 3: tell you what not that far behind now, I act 358 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. First, the Green's all doing reasonably well 359 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: and so on, and the Marti Party is not doing 360 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 3: that well, but really who cares? All of that is 361 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: like as you would expect it. Two things of interest 362 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: in this poll. The first one is that the poll 363 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 3: was taken before this pay equity business kicked off, so 364 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: I would has it a bit that National will take 365 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: a dip after that, because I don't think this is 366 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 3: going to go down. That was which had been poorly handled. 367 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 3: That's all good idea poorly handled. Second thing is wrong track, 368 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 3: right track not good. So thirty three percent of us 369 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 3: think the country's going in the right direction, but way 370 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 3: more forty six percent say it's going in the wrong direction, 371 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 3: and that's never a good thing for a government when 372 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: it wants to be re elected. So we'll talk to 373 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: Jason will Was about that shortly. It's twenty three away 374 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 3: from five. 375 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: It's the world wires on news Dogs Eddy Drive. 376 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 3: India and Pakistani troops have exchanged artillery fire across the 377 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 3: line of control in Kashmir. The two countries' air forces 378 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 3: have also engaged in dog fights. And this man in 379 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: Indian administered Kashmir says his home has been destroyed. 380 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 12: Me and my children had barely enough time to run 381 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 12: after two Pakistani shells landed in the middle of our home. 382 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 4: You've seen our loss. We have nothing left us. 383 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 3: President Donald Trump says he has a major trade deal 384 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 3: to announce tomorrow. According to CNN sources, it's with the UK. 385 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 3: Professor of economics at the University of Michigan says, at 386 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 3: least it is a good start. 387 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 6: The United Kingdom, wonderful country, lovely people, love myself. Some 388 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 6: fish and chips, But there are eleventh largest trading partner. 389 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 6: They account for three percent of American trade. That leaves 390 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 6: ninety seven the cent of American trade. Are absolutely up. 391 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 2: In the air. 392 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 3: And finally, a woman in Michigan whose cat went missing 393 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two has been reunited with the cat. 394 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 3: Cat's same is Buddy. Buddy turned up outside of McDonald's 395 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 3: about fifteen k's from his home three years after he 396 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 3: went missing. The owners is she's still going to get 397 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 3: let Buddy roam around outside because he's a cat. That's 398 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 3: what cats do. But wisely she's got a microchip. 399 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of mind 400 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: for New Zealand business. 401 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 3: Well, I'll come back to the cat who shortly murray 402 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: Old's Ossie correspondents with us mars, why are you. 403 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: Laving our Buddy's turned up?

No, don't be a mentalist, geez, 412 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: you want to come home and the cats just weed? 413 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 3: What a nightmare? 414 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 9: Hey? 415 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 3: So the caucus meeting, the first one is going to 416 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 3: be hell tomorrow, is it? 417 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 9: No? 418 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: I understand it's on this afternoon. Need some of them 419 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: back to Canberra to day, but it might just be 420 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 2: a bit of enter team massaging with the full Cook 421 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 2: caucus tomorrow. But certainly labor MPs have gathered I understand 422 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 2: that all the entire Labor Caucus is in Canberra, and 423 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: you know there are still nine seats too close to call. 424 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 2: But Anthony Albanezi now has the task in his hands. 425 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: Are forming a new ministry and the way it works 426 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: with the Australian Labor Party heather that the factions will 427 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: nominate who they want to get up into the ministry 428 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 2: and then the ministry is allocated by the Prime Minister. 429 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 2: So you would imagine someone like Jim Charmers, who comes 430 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 2: from the Moderate faction, he's the Treasurer. He will stay 431 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: on that job. He's going to maintain. For example, Penny 432 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 2: Wong is another moderate, although some say she's a bit 433 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: of a lefty, and she's going to maintain her role 434 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: as Foreign Minister. 435 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 9: And so it goes. 436 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 2: You know, all the talk coming out of the Labor camp. 437 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: We've got an embarrassment of riches, talent overflowing all this stuff. 438 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 2: They've also got what you believe, ninety one seats. They 439 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: went into this election with a one seat majority. They've 440 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: got Labour's got ninety one. The coalition is just limped 441 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: to forty today. Now they may get one or two more, 442 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: but that is a massive drubbing anyway you cut it, 443 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: you've got it's one hundred and fifty seat Parliament and 444 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: Labour's got over ninety seats. So certainly Albanezy, now buttressed 445 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 2: by a massive numerical advantage, is going to be being urged, 446 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: you know, to absolutely go hard on reform. And he's 447 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 2: already announced his first overseas trip will be once again 448 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: as he did in his first term as Prime minister. 449 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: He's going back up to Indonesia early next week after 450 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 2: the allocation of ministries. So he's making a very very 451 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: clear Asia is his horizon, that's his focus. And with 452 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: a massive market up there, what is it, two hundred 453 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: and eighty million people, They need to eat and they 454 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: need to have stuff that Australia makes and sell. So 455 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 2: that's where he's going first. 456 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: So where are we, by the way, with replacing Dustan, Well. 457 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: There's a leadership battle on. As you know, Angus Taylor 458 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 2: has got supporters. He's a hard right liberal, you know, 459 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: he is absolutely hard right. He being blamed by many 460 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: though for a dreadful election campaign performance. There was absolutely 461 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: no attempt to sell any coherent economic message and that 462 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: would have been politics one O one are you better 463 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 2: off now than you? There were three years ago that 464 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 2: didn't really resonate because of the Trump factor, But certainly 465 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 2: they could have pushed the economic narrative. That's where the 466 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: traditional bread and butter liberal values have been better economic manager. 467 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: None of that was seen. But many don't want Taylor 468 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: because they don't want the party to go further to 469 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 2: the right. You will not govern this country from the right. 470 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: You've got to be in the sensible center, and that's 471 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: why they're pushing. Others are pushing for a unity ticket 472 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: involving the moderate Susan Lee, who interestingly changed her name 473 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 2: from Susan with one S in the middle to a 474 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 2: double S when she was in her early twenties. I 475 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: think from memory because numerology said it was a good idea. 476 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 2: She's a parliamentary veteran, she's a moderist. Say, she's female, 477 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: and she is articulate, and these are things that clearly 478 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 2: the Buddy Bloken suits, you know, all the fellows and 479 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: Suits weren't. So they're pushing her with Dan Tean, who 480 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: is a former minister in a liberal government, are pushing 481 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: the lead Tea and ticket. There a lot of people 482 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: in the Liberal parties simply cannot imagine. They can't countenance 483 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 2: in a million years a female Liberal leader who can 484 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 2: actually unite the party and strike in a new direction. 485 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: You know, there will not be able to govern Heather 486 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 2: from the right of Australian politics. It's as smaller the 487 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: rump and it's dying off. 488 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 3: Mus I'm fascinated by this numerology thing, but I'm going 489 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 3: to consult Google rather than force you to explain it 490 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 3: to movies. Are you how are you? How are you 491 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 3: schooled up on numerology? 492 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 2: Negative? Luke Skywalker? Negative? 493 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 3: Thank god, that's the right answer. Why is this mushroom 494 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: Chef trial not going to run as long as we thought? 495 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 2: I know it's fascinating viewing, right, but there's stuff happening 496 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 2: behind the scenes. Now the judge, that justice, mister Justice Bale, 497 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: did not spell out precisely what's happening, but the stuff 498 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 2: happening behind the scenes that he told the jury at 499 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: the start of this it was going to be a 500 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 2: six week trial, as you mentioned. Now he's told juris 501 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: today that it could be over much much shorter timeline. 502 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 2: And for example, he says, you know, there's no need 503 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: to come back on Monday. Maybe we'll see you on Tuesday, 504 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: So maybe there's some sort of plea bar behind the scenes. 505 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: Aaron Patterson, of course, has denied three counts of murders 506 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: and it was a tragic accident that she killed her 507 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: x in laws and an auntie. She says, it was 508 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 2: absolutely an accident. The prosecution begs to differ, so it's good. Look, 509 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: this is fascinated Australia. I suspect fascinated listeners and viewers 510 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: around the world. This matter. Goodness me, It's absolutely intriguing, 511 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 2: isn't it. But it could be over long before it 512 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 2: was supposed to be, and I think we'll all be 513 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 2: poorer for it. 514 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 3: Muz, I think so too. Thank you very much, really appreciated. 515 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 3: That's Murray Old's Australia correspondent. Right here we go. So 516 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 3: Susan Lee who added the extra S into her name. 517 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 3: She says, I read about this numerology theory that if 518 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 3: you add the numbers that match the letters in your name, 519 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 3: you can change your personality. I worked out that if 520 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 3: you added an extra and S, I would have an 521 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: incredibly exciting, interesting life and nothing would ever be boring. 522 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 3: It's that simple, and once I'd added the s it 523 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 3: was really hard to take away. 524 00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: Now. 525 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: If you think that sounds crazy, not so, according to 526 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 3: Australia's leading numerology Fong Shue and color expert Chris Brazil. 527 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 3: Brazil has been researching and practicing numerology for more than 528 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: twenty years, and this, by the way, was about ten 529 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 3: years ago, so it's now thirty years. She has seen 530 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 3: people transform their lives and companies transform their fortunes by 531 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 3: simply changing their names. When it comes to numerology and names, 532 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 3: what happens is the letters in your name and their 533 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 3: corresponding numbers must match your birth date, and when they 534 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 3: don't match up, it means you carry a birth emotion 535 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 3: which is projected on you by your mother and father 536 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 3: at the time of your birth. Yeah, she should be 537 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: the liberal letter. 538 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: Quarter two Politics with Centrics, Credit, check your customers and 539 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: get payments certainty. 540 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 3: It is thirteen away from five and Jason Wool's our 541 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 3: political editors with us. 542 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 13: He Jason, good afternoon. 543 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 3: Did you find anything in that pre budget speech that 544 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 3: was at all interesting? 545 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 13: Not really, But I honestly think that that was probably 546 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 13: the point of it. It wasn't designed to set the 547 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 13: world on fire. It wasn't does designed to really make 548 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 13: everybody sit up and think, hang on a second, I've 549 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 13: really got to pay attention on May twenty second, because 550 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 13: there could be something big in there for me. In fact, 551 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 13: Chris Luxan took a bit of a page out of 552 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 13: Nikola Willis's book that Budget twenty twenty five won't be 553 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 13: a lolly scramble. So she said that last week. It's 554 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 13: not going to be a lolly scramble, and it's just 555 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 13: playing down expectations. The whole sort of ethos of the 556 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 13: government so far this year has been things are cooked. 557 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 13: The budget isn't going to be as good as we 558 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 13: thought it was going to be because of the mix 559 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 13: of the economy and the books not being as rosy 560 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 13: as they thought that they would be. So I don't 561 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 13: expect any major big ticket items. And that's exactly kind 562 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 13: of the message that Luxen was giving today. It's the 563 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 13: exact same message that Nicola Willis is being conveying as well. 564 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 13: There has been a little bit more you know, I 565 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 13: say there's not a lot of money in the budget. 566 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 13: We all know that there's a one point three billion 567 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 13: dollars operating allowance, I e. More money coming into it. 568 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 13: But there's a slightly more wiggle room now with the 569 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 13: pay equity changes. But we're gonna have to wait and 570 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 13: see how much that actually is. 571 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 3: At the budget. 572 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 14: It is the case that the number of new initiatives 573 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 14: and this budget would not have been possible without some 574 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 14: of the savings we are making. 575 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: Jason, it's more than ten billion, isn't it. Have you 576 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 3: managed to confirm that yet? 577 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 9: Well? 578 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 13: I read Audrey Young's piece this morning, and those are 579 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 13: the numbers that she was to. 580 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 3: Well, she was. 581 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 13: Basically looking back into previous budgets and talking about how 582 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 13: much it costed in previous years in terms of what 583 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 13: was against sort of the p equity claims there, and 584 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 13: how much it would be going forward. I'm just looking 585 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 13: at the numbers now from Audrey, and she says that 586 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 13: the numbers going forward are in Just give me two 587 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 13: seconds here, Audrey. 588 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 3: She says, libreak. 589 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 13: She says that in last year's budget, the figure for 590 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 13: the current year was three point seven billion, followed by 591 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 13: four point six billion for the next year, four point 592 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 13: three for the following and then four point three That's 593 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 13: about seventeen billion dollars over four years. Is what she said. 594 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 3: I mean that is huge, isn't It's a lot to change. 595 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 3: I take your point about Luxon doing boring economic speeches 596 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 3: and that that it's designed to kind of, you know, 597 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 3: underwhelm and stuff. But surely, surely he wants to do 598 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 3: Surely today was an opportunity to say something to take 599 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 3: the headlines back from the pay equity thing, which continues 600 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 3: for day three and which is going to kick off 601 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 3: tomorrow with protests, right, wouldn't you Yeah? 602 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 13: I mean, yeah you could. There could have been something 603 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 13: in there that would help shift the narrative. I think 604 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 13: that he thought that that was what was going to 605 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 13: happen with the social media ban, which was absolutely a 606 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 13: dead squab because obviously it was a members bill rather 607 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 13: than a government bill, which ultimately has got what a 608 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 13: one in forty five one and fifty chants have actually 609 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 13: been pulled from the ballot. So you know, he could 610 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 13: have done something big today to shift the narrative, but 611 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 13: he's obviously decided that he wants to sort of keep 612 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 13: things cool, calm and collected as it were for the budget. 613 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 3: Listen that right track wrong track thing in the Taxpayer's 614 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: Union Curier poll. Do we know what that's down. 615 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 13: To the right track wrong track. We can it's it's 616 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 13: an interesting one because you know it focuses quite a 617 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 13: lot on the political party. But the right track wrong 618 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 13: track is something that has been in focus for a while. 619 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 13: So we'll get those that information to you as we 620 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 13: have it. I think my colleague Sophie Trigger has been 621 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 13: about that all day or since we got the numbers 622 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 13: coming out. But in terms of the numbers itself, I 623 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 13: mean the Labor Party is up quite substantially, seeing them 624 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 13: jump about three point four points to thirty three point 625 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 13: two percent. This hasn't come at a time when the 626 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 13: pay equity stuff has been in the news. This was 627 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 13: for covering April thirtieth to May fourth, So we're not 628 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 13: going that doesn't be it's not reflected in here. We're 629 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 13: gonna have to wait a little bit to see what 630 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 13: impact it's going to have. But if I was a polster, 631 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 13: I'd be out on the field now looking exactly at that. 632 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally justin thanks very much, my appreciate it. That's 633 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 3: Jason Wall's news talks. There'd be political editor hither Mark Lundy. 634 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: I saw the headline in the Herald. I did not 635 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: open it and I'm disgusted with the Herald. Leave him be. 636 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,239 Speaker 3: He's done his time. Cam You're a man of more 637 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 3: principles than the rest of us. As I clicked on 638 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 3: it happily eight away from five. 639 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newsmakers, The mic Asking Breakfast. 640 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 15: Interesting Times in the Parliaments, Brook van Velden featured. 641 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 13: However, I do agree with a difference journalist Mike Hoskin. 642 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 11: Wait until the excitement settles down. 643 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 4: There was excitement in the house over the mention of 644 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 4: my name. 645 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 15: But Jerry had to settle the low renters down because 646 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 15: of course it's important when I'm quoted in the house 647 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 15: that things go well. 648 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 4: This is why I. 649 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: Allude to this. 650 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 15: The pay equity issue is never going to be sold. 651 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 15: But what's so disingenuous about the Labor Party is that 652 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 15: they can't work out what a rest home work is 653 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 15: really worth. So what we'll do is will compare you 654 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 15: to a mechanic, which of course literally makes no sense. 655 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 15: Back tomorrow at six am, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 656 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 15: Mayley's Real Estate News talk z B. 657 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 3: Heather, what has the SPCA got to do with op shops? Well, actually, 658 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 3: very good question, because I did wonder that too, so 659 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 3: I double because I honestly, I can't remember the last 660 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 3: time I went to an opshop actually, and all the SpCas, 661 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 3: so I asked the producer about it. Producers said to me, 662 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 3: this is the Germans, she said, there is a fantastic SPCA. 663 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 3: They run off shops and then they take the proceeds 664 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 3: and then they look after the animals. And there is 665 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 3: a fantastic SPCA at Mount Roskell. So if you're thinking, oh, 666 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: I need to dip my toes into that, just go 667 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 3: straight to the Mount Roscale, say Laura sent you, and 668 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 3: they'll give you a discount code or something like. That'll 669 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: just eventually they'll be like, who is this person? 670 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 13: Anyway? 671 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 3: Listen New Zealand Rugby. Now New Zealand Rugby unfortunately continues 672 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 3: to suffer financially. They have posted the third loss in 673 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 3: a row. Now, it's not that unusual for I mean, 674 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 3: basically Rugby works like this that they just post losses 675 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 3: all the time and then when they have Alliance Tour 676 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 3: they post a profit. 677 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 4: Right. 678 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 3: But the problem with this is that this year, this 679 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 3: past financial year was a year where they brought in 680 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: a record income. Right, they have never had more money 681 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 3: coming into the place than last year and they still 682 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 3: couldn't post a profit. Now that tells you there is 683 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 3: something deeply wrong. Various theories as to what is going wrong. 684 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 3: Some people say they're investing too much in the women's games. 685 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 3: Some people say they're investing too much in their little 686 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: like internet channel nd z R plus or whatever it's called. 687 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 3: Some people say they're investing too much in the player salaries, 688 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 3: whatever it is, whatever it is, at some point they're 689 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 3: going to have to cut the fat on this, right 690 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 3: because you simply cannot continue like this, because just there 691 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 3: is if there is more spit like unless you're obviously 692 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 3: New Zealand as a country running a fiscal deficit, you 693 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 3: know you probably don't want to do it. Anyway, We're 694 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 3: going to talk to the boss about it when he's 695 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 3: with us as a boss of rugby. After half past five. 696 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 3: The cats, Okay, so apparently listen, there is a student 697 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 3: at Lincoln University who's done account on the cats, and 698 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 3: apparently we have one point two million pet cats and 699 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 3: we have about two hundred thousand stray cats. Right, so 700 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 3: that's the cat that jumped into the cart and pons 701 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 3: and me and ended up on the North shore, or 702 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 3: buddy the cat that ended up you know, disappeared for 703 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 3: three years or whatever. But we have twice as many 704 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 3: federal cats two point four million dollars, and it's renewed 705 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 3: calls to have some bylaws and kill the cats and 706 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 3: stuff like that. Now, I'm just bringing this to your 707 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 3: attention because we talked about the cat before, and all 708 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 3: I want to say about this is God loves a trier. 709 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 3: But I do not think in my life that we 710 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 3: will deal with these cats, do you. I just that 711 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 3: cats are a no go. We do not do it. 712 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 3: Leave the cats alone, don't worry about it. Count the cats. 713 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 3: That's the end of it. It's never gonna happen. But 714 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 3: God loves a trier absolutely. Casey Castello next. 715 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: Digging through the spin spins to find the real story story. 716 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: It's either dupasy on drive with One New Zealand let's 717 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: get connected news talk. 718 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 5: Said, be good afternoon. 719 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 3: The government's been advised to crack down on cash if 720 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 3: it wants to crack down on organized crime. This is 721 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: a huge problem organized crime. There's an estimated one point 722 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 3: six billion dollars in criminal offits and just four percent 723 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 3: is currently being seized by the police. Now Kesey Castalo 724 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 3: is the Customers Minister and also the Associate Minister of 725 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 3: Police and with us. Now, hey Casey, hi, Heather, how 726 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 3: are you well? Thank you. So what they're what they're 727 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,720 Speaker 3: saying you should do is you should ban cash wages 728 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 3: and high risk industries. Can you do that? Yeah? 729 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 16: So this is the and this is the part that 730 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 16: is it's about every mechanism that we can do to 731 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 16: target cash and if we can take away the money, 732 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 16: we can actually make them in roads. And so this 733 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 16: is a whole bunch of recommendations about what we can 734 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 16: do and pivot. So there are and this is an 735 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 16: area I was working in in terms of labor exploitation. 736 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 16: You know, the payment in cash is a right, but 737 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 16: the fact is that this is the sectors that are 738 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 16: most impacted by exploitation are the ones that we are 739 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 16: thinking that you should be able to look at some 740 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 16: exemptions to protect that because the legitimate nature of business 741 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 16: means that cash is an easy way to avoid detection. 742 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 16: And this is this stuff. It's a series of recommendations 743 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 16: which I think I've told them to be bold to 744 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 16: think of everything we can do to move faster and 745 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 16: stronger and more decisively to make an impact. And these 746 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 16: are the recommendations they've come up with, and I think 747 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 16: they're doing great well. 748 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 3: I mean, is that practical to actually say, hey, you 749 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 3: work in construction or you work in hospital, you can't 750 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 3: have your wages in cash? 751 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 16: Well, I think this is the part where you start 752 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 16: looking at legitimately, where do people want to be paid cash? 753 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 16: Like this is you know, we're not talking about you know, 754 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 16: the majority when we used to start working, we've got 755 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 16: little branding bloats with cash in it. Most people are 756 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 16: operating in bank accounts. And so this is the stuff 757 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 16: that I'm really interested to look at in terms of 758 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 16: protection of workers and assuring that deductions are being done 759 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 16: properly and pay is being managed properly, and that they 760 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 16: are getting all the entitlements. The cash process makes it 761 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 16: very difficult to confirm those things, and I've done those investigations. 762 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 16: I know that that is a real issue in terms 763 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 16: of tracking that vulnerable people are getting what they should get. 764 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 16: And if this is leading into making illegimate businesses hired 765 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 16: accountability and hide cash and high profits, then I think 766 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 16: we should be looking at it. 767 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, should police have the ability to watch someone's 768 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 3: bank transactions for thirty days, for more than one day 769 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 3: at a time. 770 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 16: The point point in that space is really looking at 771 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 16: at the moment we have the ability to take effectively 772 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 16: search warrants to search a bank account retrospectively. But that 773 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 16: account is now it's one that we're interested in, and 774 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 16: so each day the police are putting another warrant in 775 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 16: each day to look at it. And so therefore it's 776 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 16: just about these very strong grounds as to why you 777 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 16: are able to look at that bank account in the 778 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 16: first place. There's very strong search grounds that you are 779 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,359 Speaker 16: able to get that warrant. What we're saying is, rather 780 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 16: than have that to establish the grounds, rather than have 781 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 16: a warrant every day to look at it, maybe that 782 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 16: we have some ability to say, look, we've now established 783 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 16: the grounds why this bank account is suspicious and to 784 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 16: be able to monitor that for a period of time. 785 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 16: Because the money moves so fast, by the time we 786 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 16: have this order in place, we've lost the money. It's 787 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 16: gone and it's generally leaving New Zealand. And that's what 788 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 16: we're trying to do is look at all of the 789 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 16: things that we can make it as hard as possible 790 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 16: for them to do business. And it's like, just as 791 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 16: we harden our borders, we're trying to harden our financial 792 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 16: borders as well. And that's whether it's scamming, whether it's drugs. 793 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 16: We've seen it in terms of how much money is 794 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 16: being circulated. So this is about all the things we 795 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 16: can do to make it as hard and as difficult 796 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 16: and as unattractive to do business in our shores. 797 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Caseie, thanks very much, appreciate Key Castello. Customers Minister 798 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 3: also associated Police Minister for Clan. Prime Minister is promising 799 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 3: he's going to use the budget to make our business 800 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 3: environment more attractive in a couple of weeks. He said, 801 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 3: initiatives to develop talent and promote competitive business settings will 802 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 3: feature prominently our Catherine Beard is Business New Zealand's advocacy 803 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 3: director and with us. Hey Catherine, Hey, good afternoon. Any 804 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 3: idea what he's talking about. 805 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 17: Look, there was not a lot of detail. That was 806 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 17: just a flag, but what he did talk about, which 807 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 17: we were quite pleased about, was confirming support for the 808 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 17: R and D tax credit system that we've got. So 809 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 17: he confirmed that they'll be keeping that which we were 810 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 17: a bit worried about. So that's very good. We need 811 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 17: to be doing R and D and every country typically 812 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 17: has some sort of incentive for business to. 813 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 18: Do R and D. 814 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 17: In ours is it's in place. It's probably you know, 815 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 17: not as competitive as some other countries, but we absolutely 816 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 17: need it and he's confirmed that that's staying. 817 00:38:59,160 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 3: So that's good. 818 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 17: Refocusing the Crown Research Institutes into three or four entities 819 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 17: we think will work better, having a bigger focus on commercialization, etc. 820 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 3: Now, how is it possible for him to make it 821 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 3: easier for businesses both local and international to invest here. 822 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 17: Look, I don't think it would be that hard, to 823 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 17: be honest, because we've been one of the worst places 824 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 17: or the hardest places to invest in the OECD. So 825 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 17: they will be having a look at the Act because 826 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 17: the Act needs fixing up. It's got a very narrow 827 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 17: definition of what is sensitive land, which is anything over 828 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 17: five hectares, So the Act needs changing. But the Investment 829 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,120 Speaker 17: Office which they're setting up will be much more like 830 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 17: a confuge sort of treatment for investors and they will 831 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 17: have the door flung open and the welcome matt put 832 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 17: out and they will be connected and you know, it 833 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 17: will be much more of a hands on service, and 834 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 17: they'll be connected to opportunities and I think you know barriers. 835 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 17: If they're running into problems, you know it will be 836 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 17: taken to a high level and the problems will be resolved. 837 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 3: Okay, good stuff, Catherine, looking forward to it already. That's 838 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 3: Catherine Beard, advocacy director at Business New Zealand. As we know, 839 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 3: the conclave has started. Dun, dun, dun, dun. Go and 840 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 3: watch the movie, by the way, if you haven't, I'll 841 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 3: keep on saying that all the way through. Looks like 842 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 3: the bookies have the odds on this chap from Italy 843 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 3: becoming the next Pope Pietro Parilyn. He's the one who 844 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 3: was the Secretary of State under Pope Francis. Although will 845 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 3: say and we all need to be aware of this. 846 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 3: Just like in the movie, the one who goes in 847 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 3: as the favorite is often not the one who gets elected. 848 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 3: But anyway, the one from Italy is the favorite. And 849 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 3: here's the favorite. There's two big betting sites running the 850 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 3: odds predominantly internationally on this is Polymarket and Calshi and 851 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 3: Mate from Italy has a thirty one percent chance on 852 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 3: Polymarket and a thirty two percent chance on the other 853 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 3: one and the second favorite on both the site side. 854 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 3: It's just the same guy who is the one, the 855 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 3: cardinal from the Philippines who Tugle host Luis Tugle, who 856 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 3: is considered the Asian Francis. He's got twenty percent odds 857 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 3: on one and there's a twenty one percent chance on 858 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 3: the other one. And then you've got a bunch of 859 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,320 Speaker 3: Italians after that, and then you've got a chat from Gharana, 860 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 3: and then you've got a chat from Hungary. But at 861 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 3: this stage it looks like a race between old mate 862 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 3: from Philippines and old mate from Italy.

Now charity shops.

There's one 907 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 3: in Kai Koi up North that's complained that it's getting 908 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 3: so many donations of stained underwear and wholly underwear gross 909 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,920 Speaker 3: that their skippin is filling up every couple of weeks. 910 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 9: Now. 911 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 3: Kathy Crichton is the SPCA General manager of retail and 912 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,799 Speaker 3: with us. Now, Hey, Kathy, Hi, have you guys got 913 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:43,280 Speaker 3: the same. 914 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:48,720 Speaker 8: Problem generally speaking, yes, I'd say that's part of the challenge. 915 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 8: But look, predominantly we get some very quality donations and 916 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,280 Speaker 8: we're extremely grateful for them. The challenge is the dumping 917 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 8: piece and when we donated items that are not sellable, 918 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,319 Speaker 8: and you know, I think in the process of assessing donations, 919 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 8: the thought process being you know, is it sellable, is 920 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,719 Speaker 8: it safe? And is it hygienic? And your example just then? 921 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 3: Okay, so have you had the Holy mdies. 922 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 8: Look that would come through time to time. I don't 923 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 8: think it's a regular and you wouldn't want that, you know, 924 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 8: primarily it would be unsellable clothing, so not of the 925 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 8: quality that you could on sell. 926 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,439 Speaker 3: This is the question that Kathy, I do. I am 927 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,200 Speaker 3: confused by this, okay, because I have been clearing out 928 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 3: the closets and stuff lately. I've had a massive surge 929 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 3: of pulmones making me do that, and then I didn't 930 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,919 Speaker 3: know I would take it to the charity bin things, 931 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 3: you know, but I didn't know what the standard was 932 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 3: for what you people want. How do you know? 933 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say, you know, if you think that 934 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 8: someone else would benefit from that product or be happy 935 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 8: to pay for it, that's where it definitely is, you know, 936 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,399 Speaker 8: a sellable donation and gratefully received. When you think, oh 937 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 8: it's kind of on the edge, maybe it's hold or 938 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 8: you know, needing mending, that's where I would suggest that 939 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 8: you know, some customers coming through aren't looking for that 940 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 8: type of product. The hygiene issues that you've highlighted, you know, 941 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,760 Speaker 8: they're serious and definitely wouldn't make it to the shop floor, 942 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 8: but you'd think that people would consider that along the way. 943 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 3: That's a slam dunkers and if the undies have pollen 944 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 3: it okay. Yeah, So what you're saying to me is 945 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 3: if it needs any mending, been it, don't put it 946 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 3: in the charity bin. 947 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 8: Generally speaking, yes, there could always be a customer for that, 948 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 8: but what we find is those are the pieces that 949 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 8: aren't picked up by customers. 950 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 3: Is it true that you guys have had a two 951 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand dollar bill for the last year 952 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,280 Speaker 3: across all your shops just to get rid of stuff 953 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 3: that people dump on you that you don't need. 954 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,879 Speaker 8: Yes, that's a combination of wastage as well as recycling, 955 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 8: because there is a conscious effort obviously to recycle in 956 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 8: the process. But if you think about things that you 957 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 8: might have seen outside op shops that are dumped overnight, 958 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 8: things like mattresses, you know, quite sizeable articles and quite 959 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 8: sizable cost of dumping that's assumed by a charity here, 960 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 8: and you know that in itself is eroding from the 961 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 8: good work that our volunteers and team members are doing 962 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,280 Speaker 8: and building fundraising. And that's that's the challenge, the commercial challenge. 963 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,719 Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting, Hey, thank you very much, Kathy appreciated. Kathy Crichton, SPCA, 964 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 3: General Manager of Retail five twenty. 965 00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:32,719 Speaker 1: Two informed Inside into today's issues. It's Heather duplicy Ellen 966 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand. Let's get connected news talks 967 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: had been five twenty five. 968 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 19: Listen. 969 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 3: I wish we would stop being so petty that a 970 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 3: story about a government spending twenty thousand dollars to fly 971 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,879 Speaker 3: Crystaldell back to New Zealand as a story at all. 972 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 3: So the story which popped up this morning is that 973 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 3: the government flew Chrysladdell to Auckland to speak at the 974 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 3: Prime Minister's Big Infrastructure Investment summit in March. They didn't 975 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 3: pay him a speaking fee, but they did pay for 976 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 3: his flights to and from New York. And the flights 977 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 3: turned out to be about twenty thousand dollars, which would 978 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 3: suggest that he flew up the front of the plane. 979 00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 3: And the story is basically it costs twenty thousand dollars. Now, 980 00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,320 Speaker 3: why this isn't a story is because paying twenty thousand 981 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,800 Speaker 3: dollars to get Chrys Ladell to speak at your conference 982 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 3: is an amazing deal. Because Chris Laddell has worked for 983 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 3: the current President of the United States, and someone like 984 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 3: Chris Laddell who's held a position like that, would command 985 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 3: normally huge amounts of money in speaking fees. I would 986 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,919 Speaker 3: have thought. In fact, Chris Bishop, who organized the summit, 987 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 3: pretty much said that reckons it would be in the 988 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 3: tens of thousands that you would normally expect to play, okay, 989 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 3: and then you put the flights on top of that, 990 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 3: and Bishop would be right. I mean, John Key reportedly 991 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 3: gets forty thousand dollars every time he speaks, and he 992 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 3: wasn't working for the former or the current president of 993 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 3: the United States. Chrys Laddell appears to have dished out 994 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 3: pretty uncontroversial advice like that New Zealand should keep a 995 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 3: low profile at the moment, should maintain existing connections, shouldn't 996 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 3: push controversial topics, and so on and so forth. I 997 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,880 Speaker 3: don't really know what the audience got from Chrys Laddell 998 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,359 Speaker 3: that they didn't already know, but there is still even 999 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 3: if it was boring and completely uncontroversial, there is still 1000 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 3: value in having him around because the Trump administration, as 1001 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 3: we know, is all about relationships, and if Laddeal still 1002 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 3: has a relationship with Trump, then it's not a bad 1003 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 3: thing for our ministers and our Prime minister to have 1004 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 3: a relationship with him and get to know him while 1005 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 3: he's here. Now, look, I get why we're interested in 1006 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 3: petty stuff like this, right. It's because twenty thousand dollars 1007 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 3: is the some that we all understand. We all deal 1008 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 3: with twenty thousand dollars at some stage, whether it's because 1009 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 3: we're buying a house or getting paid to whatever it is. 1010 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,359 Speaker 3: And billions of dollars, you know, the real numbers that 1011 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,400 Speaker 3: matter are far too big for us to get our 1012 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 3: head around. I mean, you know, one point three billion 1013 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 3: dollars is not so tens of thousands of dollars is 1014 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 3: more relatable. But there are numbers we should care more about, 1015 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 3: like the crime of the millions and millions and millions 1016 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 3: of dollars that we are paying every single day in 1017 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 3: interest on our country's debt. And frankly, twenty thousand dollars 1018 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 3: was a bargain for someone like chrys Ladell's time. 1019 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,720 Speaker 4: Would Heather do for see Ellen here that. 1020 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 3: You said watch Conclave and then you said watch out 1021 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 3: because just like the movie, the favorite doesn't win. Spoiler alert, Ma, 1022 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 3: that's what happens in literally every movie and the history 1023 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 3: of the world. You think, oh, he's the favorite, You've 1024 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,359 Speaker 3: got it. Immediately you know he's not gonna win, right, 1025 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 3: That's just called a twist, Heather. I like to be 1026 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 3: paid in cash, so I don't pay bank fees. Oh, 1027 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 3: b yes, you don't pay bank mate. If you have 1028 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 3: a checking account, you don't pay bank fees. So you no, 1029 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 3: You're gonna have to come up with a better argument 1030 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,680 Speaker 3: that you're probably doing something dodgy with it, aren't you. 1031 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 3: Headlines next then Rugby. 1032 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: On the iHeart app, and in your car on your 1033 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,840 Speaker 1: drive home, it's hither duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand, 1034 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,400 Speaker 1: let's get connected news talk, said B. 1035 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 3: Well, tell you what, I am surprised the level of 1036 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 3: energy that people are bringing to this cash discussion. Like, 1037 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,839 Speaker 3: take a look at this heady, you're very judgmental. I'm 1038 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 3: pretty much one hundred percent electronic person for transactions. But 1039 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,800 Speaker 3: that is my choice and right people that want to 1040 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 3: use cash for one hundred and one reasons, let them. 1041 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,320 Speaker 3: It's legal tender. Blah blah blah blah blah. Anyway, I 1042 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 3: can't quite get the handle of why people are so 1043 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 3: hit up about the cash and I just wonder if 1044 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 3: it's got anything to do with those conspiracy theories about cash. 1045 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 3: You know, so all of these conspiracy theory is that 1046 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 3: we're trying to get rid of cash and blah blah blah. 1047 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 3: Is that what's going on here that we're feeling very 1048 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 3: very strongly huddles with us. Shortly it's twenty four away 1049 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,759 Speaker 3: from six now New Zealand. Rugby has posted a new 1050 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 3: nineteen point five million dollar loss for twenty twenty four. 1051 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 3: This is the third loss in a row and it's 1052 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 3: despite Rugby bringing in record income of two hundred and 1053 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 3: eighty five million dollars was up seven percent. Now the 1054 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 3: boss of New Zealand Rugby is Mark Robinson. 1055 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,919 Speaker 20: Hey, Mark, afternoon, Heather. 1056 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 3: So what are you spending this money on. 1057 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 20: Well, we're investing in all levels of the game. We've 1058 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 20: also also said that we've got an investment model that 1059 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 20: has been in place for a long time that we 1060 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 20: are working in the second half of this year to 1061 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,439 Speaker 20: step back and have a really good look at and 1062 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,520 Speaker 20: we spend a lot of time this afternoon with our 1063 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 20: stakeholders talking about the sheared vision for the game and 1064 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 20: the opportunity we have to reset that model. So you know, 1065 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 20: we're really looking forward to that, to that opportunity. But 1066 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,239 Speaker 20: the investment has gone into record levels of investment in 1067 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 20: the Women and Girls game to the work we're doing 1068 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 20: in content and digital strategy game development. You know, we've 1069 00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 20: never had higher levels of investment in the community game. 1070 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 20: But there's also some things with the model that we 1071 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 20: need to spend some time working with everyone in the 1072 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:38,760 Speaker 20: game to try and improve. 1073 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,640 Speaker 3: Okay, so are you are you getting any returns from 1074 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 3: this investment in the Women's game, Like, is it washing 1075 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:46,359 Speaker 3: its space or not yet? 1076 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 20: Well, when we say the Woman's game, it's a whole 1077 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 20: a game strategy, isn't it. Well, over twenty million dollars 1078 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 20: per year now into women and girls, and when we 1079 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 20: see the increase in participation, we've had over fourteen percent 1080 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 20: of participation at all levels of the game. That is 1081 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 20: an incredibly positive return on investment. But we have been 1082 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 20: very open that it will take time in terms of 1083 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 20: the pure standalone commercial model to work for the women's game, 1084 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,440 Speaker 20: but we're happy to take that long term view and 1085 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 20: continue to invest in it. If you look at what 1086 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,160 Speaker 20: we did last year at the Twickenham game, you know, 1087 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,279 Speaker 20: almost fifty thousand people turned up to watch that game 1088 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 20: of Black Friens versus England. There's never been more tickets 1089 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,399 Speaker 20: being sold as we go into Rugby World Cup twenty 1090 00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,680 Speaker 20: twenty five in England. So look, it's going to take 1091 00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 20: some time, but if you follow the trends around the 1092 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 20: world as it relates to women's professional sport, we think 1093 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 20: we'll get there in time. 1094 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 2: Marg. 1095 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's admirable that you guys are 1096 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 3: investing in areas that you see potential growth, like the 1097 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,320 Speaker 3: women's game, like even you ends at our Plus channel 1098 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff, But at some point 1099 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 3: you can't keep doing this. You are going to have 1100 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 3: to cut the fat. When is that point? 1101 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 20: Well, if you step back and look at the last 1102 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 20: four years, we've raised over a billion dollars in revenue, 1103 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 20: and if you put aside those big investments that we've 1104 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 20: made that were always planned, you know, about forty million 1105 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:11,160 Speaker 20: dollars into stakeholders in twenty twenty two to recapitalize the 1106 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 20: game and kickstart some really key initiatives with our stakeholders. 1107 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 20: And then I think it's just over twenty million dollars 1108 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 20: as it relates to content and digital ended our plus 1109 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 20: they are by far the you know, the biggest representative 1110 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 20: of the losses you refer to. If you put those aside, 1111 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 20: the actual operational losses for the business has been around 1112 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,000 Speaker 20: it's been just under six million dollars for that time, 1113 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,720 Speaker 20: so as a business in terms of the way we're running. 1114 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 3: But even then, I mean business, I take your point, right, 1115 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 3: you're putting all this investment until you can't. You know 1116 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 3: that that might bear fruit at some point, but you 1117 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 3: have just recorded the largest income that you've ever had 1118 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 3: and you still can't break even. Even if you take 1119 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:51,239 Speaker 3: that story, well, well. 1120 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 20: That goes to a combination of things the choices we made. 1121 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 20: You know, if you look at the loss, if you 1122 00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:01,880 Speaker 20: put aside the investment in digital and content and basically 1123 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:07,560 Speaker 20: commercial growth and then and effects issue which are raised 1124 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 20: immerged at the back end of last year, were basically 1125 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 20: had a break even for this year. So and we've 1126 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 20: been able to invest in all of those areas which 1127 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,360 Speaker 20: are starting to show if you look at the signing 1128 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 20: an announcement of Toyota this week, they're definitely signaling that 1129 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 20: that improved and growing digital reach that we have in 1130 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 20: the ability to connect with fans and understand them more 1131 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 20: right across New Zealand and the world for that matter, 1132 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 20: is a big part of their involvement with us. So 1133 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,680 Speaker 20: we do think that we're starting to see real green 1134 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,279 Speaker 20: shoots in a few of these areas. We have had 1135 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 20: second second year of consecutive growth in the community game. 1136 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,760 Speaker 20: But as you say, you know, the combination of the 1137 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 20: ambition we have to invest in future growth at a 1138 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:52,840 Speaker 20: number of levels, combined with the I guess the historic 1139 00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,720 Speaker 20: model we have in terms of our funding and funding 1140 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 20: an investment framework means that we were struggling to meet 1141 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:00,799 Speaker 20: that break even year on you and this is why 1142 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,880 Speaker 20: the opportunity for the next six months is so exciting. 1143 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 3: Hey, it's good to talk to you, Marke. I really 1144 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,280 Speaker 3: appreciate it.

I just 1243 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 21: think they have completely stuff And then to make it worse, 1244 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 21: David Seymour yet again has put his footnote by coming 1245 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 21: out and saying, oh, we've saved the government's budget by 1246 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 21: saving them billions of dollars, so it's about the budget now, 1247 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,560 Speaker 21: about money And I think David Seymour shiffs if he's 1248 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 21: going to be a deputy prime minister. 1249 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 3: Well, isn't it better that he's telling the truth rather 1250 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 3: than the others who are pretending that it's not the case? 1251 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,600 Speaker 21: What is this the reason we're doing it? Are we 1252 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 21: actually doing this because we want to save money so 1253 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 21: we can spend another four billion dollars on defense? 1254 00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:37,439 Speaker 3: Yes? 1255 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 21: Wow, If that is the priorze to the government, then 1256 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 21: I think they've got and they've completely misjudged it. 1257 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:43,080 Speaker 4: No was he? 1258 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 3: So can I come out yet with this right?

There anty money laundering. 1308 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,200 Speaker 12: Anyone spending more than ten thousand in cash, you've got 1309 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 12: to explain where it came from. 1310 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 9: You know, because cash is dodge. 1311 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 12: You wonder what you wonder what's going to happen to 1312 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 12: the illegal drugs industry if they get rid. 1313 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 9: Of case transactions. 1314 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 3: Don't you think if somebody says to you that they 1315 01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 3: want to be paid in cash, you know that it's 1316 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 3: up to no good to Look, I. 1317 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 21: Was a Minister of Revenue and this is a massive, 1318 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 21: big problem. There were people getting paid cash and basically 1319 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,840 Speaker 21: that was you know, that was the word for we're 1320 01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 21: going to do this illegally. And yeah, this is a 1321 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,440 Speaker 21: whole lot of people. Look there, I doubt there's anyone 1322 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,480 Speaker 21: listening to to your program tonight that doesn't have a 1323 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 21: cell phone. If you get a cell phone, you have 1324 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 21: the ability to pay anything. With today's rather antiquated technology, 1325 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 21: you really don't need cash unless you're going to do 1326 01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,920 Speaker 21: something dodgy, or you've got it from doing something dodgy. 1327 01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,760 Speaker 12: The weird thing is, I've had cash in my pocket 1328 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 12: which sits there for almost for weeks. 1329 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I always assume that I've got cash that's 1330 01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 3: been sitting there for weeks, and I'm alway disappointed when 1331 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 3: I opened the wallet and I found that I did, 1332 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 3: in fact spend it weeks ago. No, no, no hold on it. 1333 01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 3: Text to you, I think you. I think you were 1334 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 3: too you were too sweeping with that statement, because sometimes 1335 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,200 Speaker 3: it's a good thing to have cash to, for example, 1336 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 3: pay the babysitter, right, or you know you've got to 1337 01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:53,760 Speaker 3: have a bit of cash for we. 1338 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 9: Text don't go down there. 1339 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,240 Speaker 21: And exactly, she's very cool much if you want to 1340 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 21: talk about text and charities. The thing is is that 1341 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:04,960 Speaker 21: I'm like you. I mean, I like to have a 1342 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,919 Speaker 21: fifty dollars sitting around somewhere just in case I need it. Yeah, 1343 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:09,720 Speaker 21: and then I go to find it when the kids 1344 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 21: need for some sort of social and I find one 1345 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,440 Speaker 21: of the other kids has taken it. But we're not 1346 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 21: talking about this, right. We're talking about someone coming along 1347 01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 21: and saying, hey, look I can build your fence. It's 1348 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 21: going to cost you twelve hundred bucks, but if you 1349 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 21: pay me cash, I can do it for a thousand. Now, 1350 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,440 Speaker 21: I think in this day and age, that's acceptable. And 1351 01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,480 Speaker 21: all the hones spills out there and the vast majority 1352 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 21: are will go shit. Aus I'm paying text in this biggar, isn't. 1353 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 21: I don't think there's any reason to not have to 1354 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 21: pay it. 1355 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 9: And they're not doing it to avoid bank fees. 1356 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 4: Are they? 1357 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 16: Oh? 1358 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 3: Bank fees. Guys, thanks very much, appreciate. It's Stuart Nash, 1359 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,320 Speaker 3: former Labor Minister Mark Sainsbury broadcast I ate away from six. 1360 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duplasy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1361 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by News talks'b. 1362 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 3: Hither I have cash that I can buy takeaways and 1363 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,240 Speaker 3: not have my wife give me a hard time. That's 1364 01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 3: actually a fair point. I have my own bank account 1365 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,680 Speaker 3: because I get such a hard time. I get such 1366 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,920 Speaker 3: a hard time for what I spend money on. But 1367 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,800 Speaker 3: now what I do is I spend money on him. 1368 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,640 Speaker 3: So I say, would you would you like some new 1369 01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,000 Speaker 3: T shirts. He's like, yeah, I'll pay, And now I'll 1370 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,560 Speaker 3: pay for you. Then that gives me a free run. 1371 01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,439 Speaker 3: So maybe you should try doing that. Buy her something 1372 01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 3: and then she won't mind if you buy yourself something. Listen, 1373 01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 3: there's a twist in Australian politics which has just happened 1374 01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,840 Speaker 3: in the last thirty forty minutes or so. Senator just 1375 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 3: Enter Price has defected to the Liberal Party from the Nationals. 1376 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,320 Speaker 3: The word is that she's defected in order to run 1377 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:36,160 Speaker 3: for the deputy leadership of the Liberals in replacing Dutton. 1378 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 3: So she's going to support Angus Taylor's bid, by the 1379 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 3: looks of things, and we'll end up being his deputy. 1380 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,560 Speaker 3: Gets five away from six hither. I'm a woman and 1381 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 3: I'm not pissed off with pay equity being revisited. Look, 1382 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 3: I am a woman too, and more am I and 1383 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,800 Speaker 3: I feel like both those boys. And in fact, a 1384 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,880 Speaker 3: lot of commentators on the show in the last few 1385 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 3: days have made the same mistake of assuming all of 1386 01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 3: us women think the same. Shock we don't. That's why 1387 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,320 Speaker 3: we don't all love just thunder right, some of us 1388 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,000 Speaker 3: do and some of us don't because we don't think 1389 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,439 Speaker 3: the same. So I think when you hear a commentator go, oh, 1390 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,280 Speaker 3: half the country is women and they have just pissed 1391 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,560 Speaker 3: off half the country. No they haven't. They haven't, and 1392 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 3: there'll be a lot of blokes will be upset on 1393 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,040 Speaker 3: behalf of women and women who'll be upset on. But 1394 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 3: it's basically, if you know, make a mistake thinking that 1395 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,360 Speaker 3: we all think the same, we do not. Anyway, some 1396 01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,400 Speaker 3: of us actually understand what happened and we don't mind. 1397 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,400 Speaker 3: Now we're going to go after six o'clock to or 1398 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 3: Torua because there's this big tourism convention going on at 1399 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 3: there at the moment. But no surprise to anyone who's 1400 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,160 Speaker 3: been watching the emergency housing situation in the UA, it 1401 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 3: is absolutely gone to the dogs when it comes to tourism. 1402 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 3: So we'll touch base with the mayor and find out 1403 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 3: what's up now. I recommend just a bit of recommended 1404 01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 3: reading for you, Virginia Fallon's piece about Bob Jones and 1405 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,280 Speaker 3: the Post. I love reading Virginia Fallon stuff. She's a 1406 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 3: great writer and she gives you a brilliant picture of 1407 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,680 Speaker 3: what Bob Jones was like. She writes this about ten 1408 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,160 Speaker 3: years ago. For about six months, so, Bob Jones used 1409 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,480 Speaker 3: to call me every few days. Back then, I was 1410 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,800 Speaker 3: a baby journalist. Community papers were still a thing, and 1411 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 3: I'd written a story about kids going without school lunches. 1412 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 3: Bob had read the piece, which is why he called 1413 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,400 Speaker 3: the newsroom and demanded be put through to the girl 1414 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 3: who wrote it. I've decided I should help, he said, 1415 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,040 Speaker 3: not that their parents deserve it. Initially, Bob asked me, 1416 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,040 Speaker 3: called me to ask about the kids who were going 1417 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 3: without lunches, what sort of parents they had, and why 1418 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,600 Speaker 3: they weren't being fed. And he usually called about eleven am, 1419 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,960 Speaker 3: and I blocked it out in my calendar as Bob's 1420 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 3: bit and looked forward to our sparring sessions because he 1421 01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 3: made me laugh and laugh, and I wasn't laughing in 1422 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 3: any sort of scoffing or defensive way, but because he 1423 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:39,200 Speaker 3: was really brutally funny. He was offensive and caustic, awful, 1424 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 3: and unfortunately often right on. He was brilliantly, obnoxiously hilarious. Anyway, 1425 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 3: she goes on to say they talked for six months, 1426 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,440 Speaker 3: basically every other day. He gave her lots of advice. 1427 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 3: I told her to give up journalism, but also he 1428 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,520 Speaker 3: helped those kids who weren't getting fed. And she didn't 1429 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,480 Speaker 3: say why because he swore her to secrecy. But that's 1430 01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 3: exactly what Bob was like, secretly extremely generous.

Tanya Tapsle is the 1443 01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 3: mayor of Rotu and is with us. Now, Hey, Tanya Sulder, 1444 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:49,520 Speaker 3: what's going wrong? 1445 01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,520 Speaker 22: Well, I don't know what this journalist is up to 1446 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 22: on because we have been absolutely smashing it intourism here 1447 01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:58,920 Speaker 22: at to be. 1448 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 3: Honest, okay, loving the energy you're bringing to it, I'm 1449 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:08,880 Speaker 3: not really that convinced when adjusted for inflation rough through 1450 01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 3: his visitor spender sitting at around eighty four percent of 1451 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 3: what it was pre COVID. 1452 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, people say pre COVID, this pre COVID, 1453 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,639 Speaker 22: that was five years ago. And by the way, we 1454 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,599 Speaker 22: are smashing it with the statistics as well. So we're 1455 01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 22: pretty surprised when we saw this very negative media article. 1456 01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 22: We surprised people are picking attle to do. No, but 1457 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:29,280 Speaker 22: will we fight back? 1458 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:29,759 Speaker 3: Yes? 1459 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,960 Speaker 22: And actually, if you look at the numbers, we're averaging 1460 01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 22: nineteen thousand visitors a day. So if you think about 1461 01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 22: the stats that this journalist has chosen to look at, 1462 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 22: spend data is only on the credit card. Now, how 1463 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,680 Speaker 22: often do we book things using online data? So you know, 1464 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,640 Speaker 22: it's what you choose to pick, and we choose to 1465 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:48,639 Speaker 22: pick the positive view. 1466 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:50,760 Speaker 3: But what about all the people who are in little 1467 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,320 Speaker 3: truer who are talking to this journalist and saying this 1468 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:54,440 Speaker 3: is their experience. 1469 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,719 Speaker 22: Well, the funny thing about that is she's talking about tourism, 1470 01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,680 Speaker 22: but they haven't actually asked any one in tourism a 1471 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 22: couple of cafes or rather dodgy looking accommodation provider. And 1472 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 22: actually we're hosting the biggest tourism industry event in the 1473 01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 22: country at the moment called Trends, and we also are 1474 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,920 Speaker 22: sharing the love on all the great things we're doing. 1475 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,720 Speaker 22: And we've just launched a Northiland collaboration. So when we 1476 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,639 Speaker 22: go all the way around the world promoting at Ortudo, 1477 01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:22,920 Speaker 22: are we saying, you know what, let's get people around 1478 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 22: the North Island. So you know, I really pushed back 1479 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 22: on people thinking and trying to say it Ortred is 1480 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,320 Speaker 22: not doing good. If you have been here anytime recently 1481 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,040 Speaker 22: you would have seen a significant investment that's gone and 1482 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 22: the place is looking awesome. I even't had the Prime 1483 01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 22: Minister visit a Orchuda and say, hey, this place has 1484 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,120 Speaker 22: really cleaned itself up. It's looking awesome. It is really 1485 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 22: going for gold. 1486 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:47,040 Speaker 3: Tanya, I understand why. I mean, look, if I was 1487 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 3: your comms person as your media manager, I would say, Tanya, 1488 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,600 Speaker 3: you go out there and you dispel that notion immediately 1489 01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:55,679 Speaker 3: and get the tourists back in, right, But why would 1490 01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:59,559 Speaker 3: these cafe owners and the dodgy accommodation provided tell us 1491 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 3: tell the journalists that there aren't as many tourists, Like, 1492 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 3: what's in it for them to talk down your town 1493 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:05,719 Speaker 3: other than to tell the truth. 1494 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,880 Speaker 22: Look, it's easy for people to dig their own hole. 1495 01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 16: Right. 1496 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,280 Speaker 22: I don't know what day of the week this lady 1497 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 22: went to go ask us them, But the reality is 1498 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,000 Speaker 22: across our hotels we have seen year on year increases, 1499 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 22: whether that's occupancy even the daily rate that they charge. 1500 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 22: You know, we really are and always that you look 1501 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 22: at at the statistics, we are doing really well and 1502 01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 22: actually even an international visitors, but also is outpacing the 1503 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 22: rest of the country. These are stats. These are actually 1504 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 22: you can find them online very easily, and over the 1505 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,560 Speaker 22: last two months we're actually up fifteen percent year on 1506 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 22: year compared to six percent across New Zealand. So you know, 1507 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:47,479 Speaker 22: I'm not just out here promoting my destination because I'm 1508 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,799 Speaker 22: the mayor. I'm actually sticking up for what's correct, what's accurate, 1509 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,760 Speaker 22: and actually, like I said, we're smashing it and we 1510 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:54,800 Speaker 22: will continue to do so. 1511 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,679 Speaker 3: Tanya, thanks very much, appreciate your time. Mate. It's Tanya 1512 01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,040 Speaker 3: taps on the Mayor of true if we could all 1513 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,960 Speaker 3: have advocates like that. Hey, bad news, Well, it depends 1514 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:07,600 Speaker 3: on what you look at it. I guess this is 1515 01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,439 Speaker 3: good news. The good news is that we're going to 1516 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 3: have enough gas this winter to get us through winter. 1517 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,439 Speaker 3: The bad news is that we're buying it again from 1518 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,639 Speaker 3: methin x is this Contact Energy has announced that they're 1519 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,240 Speaker 3: going to buy this. It's about two point eight pedadules 1520 01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 3: of gas starting effective immediately, running for eight weeks, So 1521 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:25,599 Speaker 3: what would that take us through month and May month 1522 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,760 Speaker 3: of June. So basically then, well, I bet they're going 1523 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:30,200 Speaker 3: to have to buy some in July. If they're buying 1524 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,639 Speaker 3: it for the I would say they're saying eight weeks, 1525 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,759 Speaker 3: but I suspect it's going to carry on for longer anyway, 1526 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 3: hopefully maybe they're waiting for the winter rains to come 1527 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 3: in and fill up the hydrodrams. I don't really know anyway. 1528 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 3: Why this is bad news is that it's expensive. Right, 1529 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,640 Speaker 3: This is what we did last time last winter, and 1530 01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,120 Speaker 3: something I think meth and X made off us something 1531 01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,280 Speaker 3: like one hundred and sixty seven million dollars selling US gas. 1532 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:51,880 Speaker 9: Now. 1533 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:53,599 Speaker 3: I don't know how that compares to what they would 1534 01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:55,640 Speaker 3: have got if that actually just carried on with what 1535 01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:57,880 Speaker 3: they were actually doing primarily as their business, rather than 1536 01:11:57,920 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 3: shutting everything down and then selling us the gas. But 1537 01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 3: doesn't feel like a good way to be running an 1538 01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 3: electricity sector, do you know what I mean? You've got 1539 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 3: this business that's supposed to be supposed to be earning 1540 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,920 Speaker 3: US export revenue, we shut it down, we redirect the gas, 1541 01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:12,800 Speaker 3: and we pay them so we can keep the things going. 1542 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:14,639 Speaker 3: That doesn't feel like a good idea. But then again, 1543 01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 3: at least our lights are not going out this winter. 1544 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 3: Twelve past six. 1545 01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,760 Speaker 1: It's the Head, Duper Cell and Drive Full Show podcast 1546 01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,639 Speaker 1: on my Heart Radio powered by News dog Zebbi. 1547 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 3: Hey, although we've said goodbye to summer, we don't have 1548 01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,160 Speaker 3: to say goodbye to the refreshing flavors that we get 1549 01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 3: in summer, do we. Because Bunderberg, the legendary brewers of 1550 01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,320 Speaker 3: the iconic Bunderboot ginger beer, have come out with a 1551 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 3: brand new low sugar range. It's a sparkling drink range. 1552 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 3: It's called Refreshingly Light. Now. Refreshingly Light comes in three 1553 01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 3: flavor combos. They sound really delicious, raspberry and pomegranate, apple 1554 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 3: and light chy lemon and watermelon. They are low on sugar, 1555 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 3: no artificial sweetness flavors or colors. They're made from real fruit. 1556 01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 3: They only have twenty calories per can. And what's interesting 1557 01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 3: is that they've each been craft brewed for three days. 1558 01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,040 Speaker 3: Three days sounds like a long time, but actually makes 1559 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:03,920 Speaker 3: sense because it's three days to lock on all those 1560 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 3: incredible flavors. And honestly, you would not expect anything less 1561 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,920 Speaker 3: from Bunderberg. These guys care about making stuff that just 1562 01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 3: tastes good. It's as simple as that. So to taste 1563 01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:15,439 Speaker 3: Bunderberg's new Refreshingly Light sparkling drink rage, you'll find them 1564 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,240 Speaker 3: at most major supermarkets. 1565 01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,360 Speaker 4: Now heller do for see Allen. 1566 01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:22,000 Speaker 3: Right, it's sixteen past six. Now we're two weeks away 1567 01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,800 Speaker 3: from the budget, so the hints keep on dropping. The 1568 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,960 Speaker 3: Prime Minister said the government will increase total capital expenditure 1569 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:30,559 Speaker 3: it's allocated in its upcoming budget by four hundred million dollars. 1570 01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:34,360 Speaker 3: That money goes into capital projects in health, education, defense, transport, 1571 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,320 Speaker 3: portfolios and so on. Liam dan Is, the Herald's business 1572 01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:38,719 Speaker 3: editor at large, and with us Now. 1573 01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,600 Speaker 23: Hey, Liam, Hi, here's it go. 1574 01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 3: I'm very well, thank you. So why the significance of 1575 01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,360 Speaker 3: the capital budget going up as what. 1576 01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 23: Well, we had a little bit about we had from 1577 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 23: Nikola Willis last week the operating budget and that was 1578 01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,160 Speaker 23: a big cut to it, and that was that's the 1579 01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 23: money on hand to basically pay wages and keep the 1580 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 23: keep the government functioning, and that that was pretty austere. 1581 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 23: And so you know, Nicola Willis had called her speech 1582 01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 23: last week a growth budget and you're sort of scratching 1583 01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 23: our heads. Well, it doesn't look very growth orientated. So 1584 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:17,800 Speaker 23: the capital expenditure is a bit larger, but you know, 1585 01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,400 Speaker 23: so that that's good, and there was talk about some significant, 1586 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 23: significant investment in infrastructure projects, which you know would be great. 1587 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 23: I mean, that's the sort of money that you can 1588 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 23: you can spend. Of course a few you've got to 1589 01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,560 Speaker 23: make the projects happen, as we've found out in the 1590 01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:35,280 Speaker 23: last few years. But you know, that's a good thing. 1591 01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,000 Speaker 23: Just I just think we probably have to remember there's 1592 01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 23: a big decisions that the government has to make about 1593 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:45,519 Speaker 23: how much of this bending on defense goes, you know, 1594 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:47,559 Speaker 23: in the next year or so and over the next 1595 01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,680 Speaker 23: four years. So they've actually you know, said they're going 1596 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 23: to up defense spending. I think it's something like six 1597 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,400 Speaker 23: point six point five billion or something like that on 1598 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 23: top of what they're already doing. So that would be 1599 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:05,519 Speaker 23: from the capital allowance as well. So yeah, this, you know, 1600 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 23: it's sort of like they're giving us little clues as 1601 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,720 Speaker 23: they go as to where this budget's going. It's it's 1602 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:14,080 Speaker 23: not going to be a big key as well, we 1603 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 23: got this and that and this, but it's you know, 1604 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 23: in terms of the jigsaw of how they navigate I 1605 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,599 Speaker 23: guess this difficult fiscal period and keep going for gross 1606 01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:27,800 Speaker 23: it was a little bit more detail and it's kind 1607 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 23: of interesting. 1608 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose it is. I mean, so Chris Luxin's 1609 01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:34,120 Speaker 3: done the speech today right where he's pumped up the 1610 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 3: support for business. What are we expecting to see. Have 1611 01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 3: we got any idea at all what he's going to 1612 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:40,960 Speaker 3: do to make it easier for business to be able 1613 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:41,519 Speaker 3: to invest. 1614 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,439 Speaker 23: Yeah, so he alluded to doing some some not not 1615 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,960 Speaker 23: huge things, but small things that would help businesses invest. 1616 01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,080 Speaker 23: And I wonder whether it's this sort of the kind 1617 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,840 Speaker 23: of tax rebate on you know, that allows you to 1618 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,240 Speaker 23: depreciate or will take a tax rebeat on depreciation of assets, 1619 01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:01,240 Speaker 23: because I know that's one that's the Employers and Manufacturers 1620 01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,600 Speaker 23: Association has really lobbied hard for over the years. It 1621 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:08,799 Speaker 23: just means, you know, if to encourage businesses to invest 1622 01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 23: in new equipment and new technology. Obviously, you know, the 1623 01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 23: minute you take it out of the shop, it starts 1624 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 23: to depreciate, and every year it depreciates and you can 1625 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:20,760 Speaker 23: claim back some tax on the depreciation. Now you can 1626 01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:22,320 Speaker 23: set that at a different levels, so it may not 1627 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:26,120 Speaker 23: be a huge amount of money, but you know, that's 1628 01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,920 Speaker 23: quite a positive thing because when we look at New 1629 01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:32,919 Speaker 23: Zealand's productivity, we know that you know, the not investing 1630 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 23: in the latest technology is one of the reasons that 1631 01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,000 Speaker 23: we say that we're sort of behind on productivity if 1632 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,440 Speaker 23: you look at countries like Germany so on, where they 1633 01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,160 Speaker 23: use all the latest technology that helps drive productivity. So 1634 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 23: that's the kind of thing the government could do that 1635 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:48,559 Speaker 23: would sort of pay a dividend in the end, is 1636 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:50,639 Speaker 23: you know, in terms of boosting the economy and going 1637 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:51,960 Speaker 23: for growth, which is their mantra. 1638 01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 3: Obviously, Liam, it's always good to talk to you. Thank you, mate. 1639 01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,360 Speaker 3: That's Liam Dan. The Herald's Business editor at large. 1640 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 4: Heather Duplessy Ellen just having a look at. 1641 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 3: The dodgy looking accommodation provider in the that. I don't 1642 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 3: know how the mayor is gonna I don't know how 1643 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,160 Speaker 3: Motel is going to feel about that when they realize 1644 01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,360 Speaker 3: what the maya just said. It's not that bad looking. 1645 01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,280 Speaker 3: It's it's actually it's I mean, it's a motel, so 1646 01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:19,519 Speaker 3: it's got some strong Motel vibes going on, you know. 1647 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 3: But it's definitely got a kind of like it's got 1648 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,280 Speaker 3: an American desert feel about it, you know, like like 1649 01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 3: a bit Las Vegas. The sign out the side is 1650 01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,519 Speaker 3: a bit Las Vegasy has done and corrugated iron. I 1651 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:35,559 Speaker 3: don't know, that's not particularly less. Yeah, that's right. 1652 01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,120 Speaker 24: The pool actually looks quite now I'd stay there. 1653 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:40,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, the pool, the pool looks nice. The pools I've 1654 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 3: got to give. 1655 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,640 Speaker 24: Them doesn't mean it's not dodgy. 1656 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,800 Speaker 3: If you see ants there, then she's right. And the pool, 1657 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,240 Speaker 3: I've can giving them points on their water clarity. It's 1658 01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,840 Speaker 3: a it's a fresh looking pool. It is a little 1659 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,679 Speaker 3: bit small like it's a it's it's a family sized pool, 1660 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:56,840 Speaker 3: isn't it. It's not really like a result sized pool. 1661 01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 3: I would say, very nice photo gallery. They've got heat 1662 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:01,720 Speaker 3: the spars, so you can book yourself a room with 1663 01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,559 Speaker 3: a spy. You can go as antsys to the pool. 1664 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,000 Speaker 3: There's a man with gray hair who will cook you 1665 01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 3: some snarlers. I'm guessing he's not a guest. I'm sold. 1666 01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:18,160 Speaker 3: He looks like the motel's Butler's a butler. That's right, 1667 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,920 Speaker 3: he's standing there with Actually those are not snarlers. I 1668 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,439 Speaker 3: lie to you. You know when you go to the 1669 01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,439 Speaker 3: supermarket and you buy like a styrofoam packet of meat 1670 01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 3: and you get like four bits of rump steak or 1671 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,599 Speaker 3: like four little surloins. He's got a packet of he's 1672 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,639 Speaker 3: whipped the old the glad rap back on it, and 1673 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 3: he's busy tonguing one out onto the the as a 1674 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,080 Speaker 3: flat burner. So they haven't gone for the web, but 1675 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,000 Speaker 3: they've gone for the flat burner, but on the rusty side. 1676 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,200 Speaker 3: But that's okay because in the desert, these things do 1677 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 3: you know, that perish? And there's a pot on the 1678 01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,200 Speaker 3: barbecue as well, so I'm feeling like that, I'm not 1679 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 3: sure why, like, what are you cooking a pot on 1680 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:55,880 Speaker 3: a barbecue? Lobsters? Yeah, crayfish, that's what you're getting here. 1681 01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:58,720 Speaker 3: And also, by the way, for all of this, and 1682 01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,599 Speaker 3: then and then there's the dessert has been laid out 1683 01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 3: for you. You've got toast. You've got two corn flakes, 1684 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 3: You've got two jugs of milk which is generous, two 1685 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:09,479 Speaker 3: little muffins with lots of those littlee hundred and thousand 1686 01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 3: sprinkles on them, two little yogurts berries ones, and then 1687 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 3: two orange juice is glad wrapped up, and two trays 1688 01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,640 Speaker 3: of peaches glad wrapped up. So they've gone to the 1689 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,400 Speaker 3: food hygiene is out the gate on this place. And 1690 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,200 Speaker 3: for all of that, right, for everything that you get 1691 01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,000 Speaker 3: your butler doing your meat, you're gonna get all of 1692 01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:26,680 Speaker 3: that for your breakfast. You're gonna get your pool, You're 1693 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,719 Speaker 3: gonna get your spar You are only paying one hundred 1694 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,680 Speaker 3: and fifty dollars a night. That is a bargain. So 1695 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,719 Speaker 3: I feel like Tanya may need to apologize to this outfit. 1696 01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:40,120 Speaker 1: Six twenty two The Rural Report with MSD Animal Health 1697 01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,000 Speaker 1: over Venzi It's most popular. 1698 01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 3: Cowcolar Jamie Mackay Hosts of the Countries with Me Now, Jamie, Hello, okay, 1699 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,800 Speaker 3: So what's this fight against the banking wokery that's going on? 1700 01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:50,720 Speaker 3: How's it continuing? 1701 01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 19: Well, you know, the the best ideas are often borrowed 1702 01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:57,240 Speaker 19: ideas from other people. I was reading a piece in 1703 01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:00,600 Speaker 19: the Rural News, one of our leading rural publictions in 1704 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:05,200 Speaker 19: this country, from their acervic sort of or even vitriolic 1705 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 19: cartoon character the Hound. Now this was made up by 1706 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:12,160 Speaker 19: the late David Anderson, one of the leading rural journals 1707 01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 19: in this country, incidentally the brother of Miles Anderson, the 1708 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,680 Speaker 19: national MP for White Taki. But the Hound wrote in 1709 01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,719 Speaker 19: the Rural News, and this is good and it follows 1710 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 19: on from a chat I had earlier in the week 1711 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 19: with Mark Cameron, The Good Fight against banking wokery continues 1712 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 19: with a draft bell to scrap the red tape forcing 1713 01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:34,320 Speaker 19: banks and financial institutions to make climate related disclosures. Then 1714 01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 19: the Hound went on to quote Mark Cameron, who's refreshingly 1715 01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,439 Speaker 19: down to earth the ACT MP from Northland. He said, 1716 01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:45,559 Speaker 19: farmers are already seeing discrimination creeping into interstrates based on 1717 01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:49,600 Speaker 19: perceived emissions. They fair they'll be the next to be debanked, 1718 01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:52,639 Speaker 19: not because of any financial risk, but because they don't 1719 01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,679 Speaker 19: fit the agenda of the suit and ty Bigwicks. We've 1720 01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:59,280 Speaker 19: already seen it happening to essential industries like mining and 1721 01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 19: service station. So Mark Cameron leading the charge for ACT, 1722 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:06,679 Speaker 19: joining Winston and Shane's war on wokery with the banks, 1723 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 19: and I say all power to them. 1724 01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 3: You totally couldn't agree more. Now, what are these loopholes 1725 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:13,800 Speaker 3: around the carbon farming and the planting. 1726 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,639 Speaker 19: Well beef and lamb New Zealand have urged the government 1727 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,559 Speaker 19: to close some of these carbon farming loopholes. They came 1728 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:23,200 Speaker 19: out well that they came out or the government came 1729 01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,960 Speaker 19: out on the fourth of December last year. But Chair 1730 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,439 Speaker 19: Ackland is quite rightly saying when these limits were announced 1731 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 19: the PEG in the sand was put in the ground 1732 01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 19: on the fourth of December last year. The government would 1733 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,600 Speaker 19: ensure that unless there was a clear intent for conversion 1734 01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 19: before that date, you couldn't do it. But people are 1735 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:47,559 Speaker 19: driving truck and trailer units through these loopholes at the moment. 1736 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,839 Speaker 19: What the MPI should I say. Came out with guidance 1737 01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 19: on what constitutes intent, but Kate Ackland saying these guidelines 1738 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,720 Speaker 19: are deeply flawed. She says the two key flaws and 1739 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 19: the guidance relate to accepting receipts for ordering seedlings and 1740 01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,080 Speaker 19: accepting third party assessments of farmland for a forestation, and 1741 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,200 Speaker 19: there are ways you can get around those, and she 1742 01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:15,080 Speaker 19: quite rightly says, look, anyone can buy some seedlings. It's 1743 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,960 Speaker 19: not uncommon to purchase them and worry about where they'll 1744 01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 19: be planted later. 1745 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,960 Speaker 9: In such cases, there is. 1746 01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 19: No intent to enter any particular parcel of land into 1747 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,439 Speaker 19: the etes. So people are still getting are still dodging 1748 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 19: this one. 1749 01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:28,160 Speaker 2: Heather. 1750 01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,680 Speaker 19: We'll come in to force the legislation in October of 1751 01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 19: this year, but some people, including federated farmers, are saying 1752 01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,120 Speaker 19: why not do a pay equity rush it through the 1753 01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 19: house type legislation? They're not quite as keen on that 1754 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,080 Speaker 19: one as they are on the pay equity and too. 1755 01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 3: Right, Hey, thank you very much, Jammy, look after yourself. 1756 01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:47,120 Speaker 3: It's Jammy Mackay, host of the country right.

Okay, So, Susan 1786 01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 3: was a pilot. She was born in Nigeria. She grew 1787 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 3: up in the Middle East. Her dad was a British 1788 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 3: intelligence agent. So she's already fascinating at this point, right, 1789 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,760 Speaker 3: but never not even and then she grew up. Before 1790 01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 3: she became a pilot, she had a boring period where 1791 01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:32,040 Speaker 3: she graduated with postgrad in like taxation and accounting and 1792 01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,040 Speaker 3: boring stuff like that. But actually she wasn't a boring 1793 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 3: person at all, despite the degree. She used to wear 1794 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:40,040 Speaker 3: spiky long hair and a dog collar when she was 1795 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 3: studying at a Canberra high school. She was a little 1796 01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,759 Speaker 3: punk rocker. Anyway, she then resigned. She's been in cabinet 1797 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 3: before she resigned in cabinet from cabinet in twenty seventeen 1798 01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 3: in Australia because there was a bit of an expenses scandal. 1799 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:55,120 Speaker 3: She likes herself a charted plane. She doesn't like catching 1800 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,640 Speaker 3: the commercial flats like the rest of us. So she's like, 1801 01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:02,360 Speaker 3: like Bob Jones, here thirteen thousand dollars to pilot charted 1802 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,200 Speaker 3: planes between capital cities, which is obviously more expensive than 1803 01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:07,800 Speaker 3: commercial flights, and people didn't love it anyway. So then 1804 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, fast forward to twenty twenty three, she 1805 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,479 Speaker 3: turns up to Parliament dressed as Tina Turner. 1806 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 1: Oh, with some nervousness, I give the call to the 1807 01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 1: Leader of the Opposition. 1808 01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,640 Speaker 14: Thank you, mister speaker. And I know at least one 1809 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 14: of the questions you're asking, And yes, this is for 1810 01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 14: a dare, a dare for a very worthwhile cause. First, 1811 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:33,280 Speaker 14: let me introduce my alter ego, Tina Lena Turner. 1812 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 3: She doesn't need an alter ego because her actual ego 1813 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,759 Speaker 3: is so interesting as it is. And she has turned 1814 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,760 Speaker 3: up in Parliament in a mini skirt that like the 1815 01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,680 Speaker 3: full teen at Turner. You know, when Tina did her 1816 01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,200 Speaker 3: skanky phases. She had the really short skirts and the 1817 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 3: like all the leg she has this on, plus the wig. 1818 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 3: The friday before she turned up. What had happened is 1819 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,000 Speaker 3: she'd promised to do the Tina stunt at this cancer 1820 01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,719 Speaker 3: frendraiser if the donation total had one hundred thousand Australian dollars, 1821 01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 3: and it did so she was true to her word. 1822 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 4: Ever do for Cee Ellen. 1823 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,679 Speaker 3: Now, weight Watchers is filing for bankruptcy in the US. 1824 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:07,960 Speaker 3: The weight loss service has run for more than sixty years, 1825 01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,200 Speaker 3: but recently ran into a little bit of trouble. According 1826 01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:13,759 Speaker 3: to brand tracking platform Tracksuit, awareness of the weight Watchers 1827 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 3: brand in New Zealand has dropped by twenty two percent 1828 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:17,599 Speaker 3: in just the last two and a half years, which 1829 01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:19,080 Speaker 3: is stunning. I would have thought Nicky Hart is a 1830 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 3: nutritionist and with this now, Hey Nikki, Hey Helen, what 1831 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 3: went wrong for them? 1832 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:24,960 Speaker 5: Oh? 1833 01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 18: Look, I think it's multifactorial. I mean, if you look 1834 01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,840 Speaker 18: back sixty years ago, the messaging around weight loss was 1835 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 18: really simple, eat less, do more. But we know it's 1836 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 18: more complicated than that now. And I wonder if if 1837 01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,679 Speaker 18: I look at maybe and it was predominantly women who 1838 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,000 Speaker 18: were using it, way back in the day. I think 1839 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,519 Speaker 18: we've matured. We're coming up the other end, going, actually, 1840 01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 18: I'm not buying into this now, and I need to 1841 01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 18: look after my nutrition. Are there other ways that I 1842 01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,719 Speaker 18: can look after my health well being in my weight 1843 01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:55,800 Speaker 18: And maybe it's not weightwatching, but. 1844 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 3: Nicky, I thought it was always just I still think 1845 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 3: it's about maths, isn't it. It's calor reason have to 1846 01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 3: be fewer than calories out Ah. 1847 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,920 Speaker 18: I know, because when you look at all the environmental 1848 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:08,800 Speaker 18: factors and stuff at play now, and you've got to 1849 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 18: look at genetics and other things as well. I think 1850 01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,720 Speaker 18: there's more to it. I think there's also with the 1851 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:19,120 Speaker 18: advent of injectibles, the g alkaline antagonists, I think that's 1852 01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:20,759 Speaker 18: playing a role in this as well. 1853 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,759 Speaker 3: So we found a shortcut, isn't that The truth, Nicky, 1854 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,479 Speaker 3: Is that we've found that you can give yourself a 1855 01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:27,920 Speaker 3: little injection in the butt like ozen pic and it's 1856 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:30,200 Speaker 3: much easier than cutting down your calories. 1857 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,040 Speaker 18: Yeah, but it's expensive, Heather, you know, like you're looking 1858 01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 18: at at least five hundred dollars a month to be 1859 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,200 Speaker 18: able to do this. So I don't actually think it's 1860 01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 18: about as simple as an injectible either. I think I 1861 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,799 Speaker 18: think there's the shift now that that whole input output 1862 01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:49,120 Speaker 18: thing we now know that's say, for example, increasing your 1863 01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:53,000 Speaker 18: protein gives you greater satiation, so you don't tend to 1864 01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,000 Speaker 18: want as much food. So there's a lot of women 1865 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,559 Speaker 18: now who are doing a higher protein level in their diet, 1866 01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:01,080 Speaker 18: realizing they don't need to restrict their calories and eat 1867 01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 18: rice cakes and bean sprouts and so feel that they 1868 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:05,760 Speaker 18: can lose weight without doings. 1869 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 3: Niki, what what are you telling me that if I 1870 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 3: eat myself a gigantic piece of sta what a satiation? 1871 01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 3: So that's satisfied. 1872 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:17,599 Speaker 18: Yes, you can feel fuller on the type of food 1873 01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 18: that you're eating, but. 1874 01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 3: Though still calories and calories outgo. I feel like we're 1875 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 3: getting distracted, but I'm loving it. Isn't it still the same? 1876 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 3: Because if I eat a gigantic piece of steak that 1877 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:29,400 Speaker 3: maybe two hundred grams is four hundred calories, then I'm 1878 01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 3: not going to want to have all the chocolates and 1879 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,400 Speaker 3: the cakes and stuff, right, so it keeps me full 1880 01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,200 Speaker 3: of for longer. Therefore, I still am taking in fewer calories. 1881 01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,920 Speaker 18: Yep, But the craving so That's what ozenpic and stuff 1882 01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 18: does is that they block you wanting sweet refined cover 1883 01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:50,240 Speaker 18: hydrants especially, and so therefore you're not getting those refined 1884 01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:53,480 Speaker 18: cal calories. But we still can't afford you to be malnourished. 1885 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:57,719 Speaker 18: We still can't afford you to become micronutrient deficient because 1886 01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 18: you're eating too low in total calories. We want the 1887 01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:02,600 Speaker 18: calories you do consume. 1888 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:05,800 Speaker 17: Yeah, totally, yeah, I hear. 1889 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:07,680 Speaker 16: Okay, so is that for me? 1890 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:09,720 Speaker 3: Okay? So, Nikki, what the planning to do at weight 1891 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,240 Speaker 3: watches now is to do Tellyhealth. Is that going to work? 1892 01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 3: Because it sounded to me like the Teally Health is 1893 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,360 Speaker 3: basically going to be a teallyhealth service that helps you 1894 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:19,960 Speaker 3: to get a prescription for the things like ozmpic, can 1895 01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:20,960 Speaker 3: we go v and so on. 1896 01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:25,400 Speaker 18: Yeah, But I think we, I personally think that you 1897 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,439 Speaker 18: shouldn't you shouldn't need that either. I believe that if 1898 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:33,160 Speaker 18: you are under the guidance of your GP or healthcare professional. 1899 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:35,679 Speaker 18: I don't know where they're place is for weight watches, 1900 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,360 Speaker 18: but back in the day, like weight watches, we used 1901 01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:40,599 Speaker 18: to have our lovely John Burtbeck, who was their medical 1902 01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:43,000 Speaker 18: advisor here in New Zealand and it was based on 1903 01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,680 Speaker 18: our food and nutrition guidelines, Heather, That's what it was originally, 1904 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 18: and then it kind of morphed into this whole kind 1905 01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,799 Speaker 18: of points system, and I think women were like saving 1906 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,080 Speaker 18: all their points up and eating pizza, you know, because 1907 01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:56,760 Speaker 18: they could save their points up and do it that way, 1908 01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,439 Speaker 18: and that wasn't good nutrition. Whereas I think worth the 1909 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:04,559 Speaker 18: advent of social media and all these g LP one things, 1910 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,720 Speaker 18: women especially are sourcing their information a little bit more 1911 01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:10,519 Speaker 18: crudibly and going, well, actually, what do I need for 1912 01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 18: my health and well being, not just for weight loss 1913 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,080 Speaker 18: but for everything else and conjubidis. 1914 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:18,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, that's fascinating. I really appreciate it. Nikky 1915 01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 3: Hart nutritionist. I used to buy the way I mean, 1916 01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:24,120 Speaker 3: you know it's calories and then calories out, don't you. 1917 01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 3: I used to save my calories up for a whiskey 1918 01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:31,599 Speaker 3: soda times three. I don't do that one. But this 1919 01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:33,840 Speaker 3: is the thing is everybody who's trying to lose but 1920 01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:35,960 Speaker 3: what I'm only speaking about my friendship group and my 1921 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,519 Speaker 3: family and my mother when they're trying to lose weight. 1922 01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,599 Speaker 3: I'm like, my first question is always do you drink 1923 01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 3: gin and tonic.

You've got to cut that out immediately if 1927 01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 3: you want to lose weight. A beer has one hundred 1928 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:57,040 Speaker 3: and twenty calories in it, Okay, A Gin and Tonic 1929 01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,960 Speaker 3: has one hundred and eighty calories.

No, 1935 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:16,559 Speaker 3: so you shouldn't have three Gin and Tonics if you're trying. 1936 01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:18,479 Speaker 24: To lose weight, these vogals toast is pretty good.

I'm very well, thank you. This 1973 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,439 Speaker 3: is a surprise, this UK FTA with the US, right, 1974 01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:57,400 Speaker 3: because we thought you people were in the third phase. 1975 01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:03,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, so we find this out overnight via social media. 1976 01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:06,479 Speaker 11: President Trump has been busy and there is a major 1977 01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:10,160 Speaker 11: trade deal going to be announced at three pm UK time. 1978 01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 11: We're hearing he just teased that. Trump he said it's 1979 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:17,960 Speaker 11: with a major respected world nation. Downing Street is not 1980 01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,800 Speaker 11: denying that it is the United Kingdom. So on the 1981 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:22,759 Speaker 11: face of it, this is a win for kir Starmer. 1982 01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:25,000 Speaker 11: But let's have a look at the detail. And it's 1983 01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:29,600 Speaker 11: interesting the word deal is being used, not agreement, and 1984 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:31,920 Speaker 11: I think there's a very big difference between a deal 1985 01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:35,320 Speaker 11: which could be short term and may see tariff's reduced 1986 01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:39,439 Speaker 11: as opposed to a long term free trade agreement. But 1987 01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 11: whatever happens, it's a win for Britain and I guess 1988 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:44,680 Speaker 11: Starmer will take it as a win too. 1989 01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:47,800 Speaker 3: Now does this make you feel less embarrassed at how 1990 01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:49,760 Speaker 3: much of a butt kiss a Kiirstamer was? 1991 01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:54,120 Speaker 11: Look, I think what we're going to see in the 1992 01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,920 Speaker 11: next couple of days. Here's my prediction, Turnbury Golf Course 1993 01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:00,800 Speaker 11: in Scotland, which is owned by Donald Trump Hernburry Golf 1994 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:04,160 Speaker 11: Course in Ayrshire. I reckon they're getting the Open Championship 1995 01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,599 Speaker 11: in twenty twenty eight, and I think that's as much 1996 01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:09,439 Speaker 11: as is in this It's a transaction, so the tariffs 1997 01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:11,120 Speaker 11: will go back down at the zero from the UK. 1998 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,719 Speaker 11: Trump gets to come here on a second state visit 1999 01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 11: with the royal family and all of that makes history. 2000 01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,400 Speaker 11: And then secondly the golf course in Scotland will host 2001 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:22,960 Speaker 11: the Open Championship. So look, everyone's running around after this 2002 01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:25,519 Speaker 11: guy the whole world. I mean, the smartest person in 2003 01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:29,000 Speaker 11: Europe has actually been the President of Finland. Alexander Stubb. 2004 01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:33,439 Speaker 11: Educated at an American university. He plays off scratch at golf, 2005 01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,519 Speaker 11: flew himself to Florida, played around the golf for Trump 2006 01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:40,439 Speaker 11: and suddenly Finland has the direct line to the White House. 2007 01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 11: You couldn't make it up all because of golf. 2008 01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:45,920 Speaker 3: It's all about relations, relationship since transactional as you say, 2009 01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:49,439 Speaker 3: listen this Tierra plot. What building was the target? 2010 01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:53,080 Speaker 11: So there's been a lot of speculation. This week eight 2011 01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:56,080 Speaker 11: men were arrested in various different parts of England, from 2012 01:34:56,080 --> 01:35:00,759 Speaker 11: the Northwest to Swindon in Wiltshire to West London. Men arrested, 2013 01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:04,960 Speaker 11: seven of them were Iranian. The sas were involved in 2014 01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:08,439 Speaker 11: these arrests and elite police officers as well, so heavily 2015 01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 11: armed police officers took these guys into custody. We learned 2016 01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:15,360 Speaker 11: today the newspapers say that the target was to be 2017 01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:19,680 Speaker 11: the Israeli embassy in central London. Now that is a 2018 01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:24,240 Speaker 11: heavily protected building, but clearly the intelligence made its way 2019 01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:26,640 Speaker 11: to the police and that that was to be the 2020 01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:30,240 Speaker 11: target of the attack. So Iran, on the face of 2021 01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:34,960 Speaker 11: everything we're hearing today, Iran, with covert operatives on UK soil, 2022 01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:40,400 Speaker 11: were going to attack Israeli people at their embassy in London. 2023 01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,360 Speaker 11: This would have been a bloodbath. But it's been intercepted. 2024 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 3: Thank god, Inda, thank you so much.

Well. The acting 2044 01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:52,519 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank Governor, Christian Hawksby was at that meeting, and 2045 01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:55,519 Speaker 3: so when he got to the Select Committee yesterday at 2046 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:56,880 Speaker 3: Parliament he was asked about it. 2047 01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:58,600 Speaker 25: Were you at that mason on the twenty fourth or 2048 01:36:58,600 --> 01:36:59,200 Speaker 25: few briefs? 2049 01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:00,840 Speaker 4: So who was there with you? 2050 01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,559 Speaker 25: Yes, I was at the meeting with the previous governor 2051 01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:05,240 Speaker 25: and the chair. 2052 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 3: So the person asking the question is Babs. That's Labour's 2053 01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:11,920 Speaker 3: finance spokesperson, Barbara Edmonds, and then she asked, you know 2054 01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:13,760 Speaker 3: a little bit more detail about the meeting, and then 2055 01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:15,760 Speaker 3: Christian could remember that he was at the meeting, but 2056 01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:17,120 Speaker 3: I can't remember anything else. 2057 01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,240 Speaker 8: Did the Minister of Finance ask you at that meeting 2058 01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:24,040 Speaker 8: that it was her preference that there'd be a review 2059 01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:25,639 Speaker 8: into the capital requirement rules. 2060 01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:30,519 Speaker 25: I can't recall all the details of the meeting and 2061 01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,200 Speaker 25: it's not something that sort of generally get into. 2062 01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 3: Okay, And then so I mean you might like, well, 2063 01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:40,280 Speaker 3: that's not the smoking gun. I mean it's a pretty 2064 01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 3: big deal for the Reserve Bank, a pretty big deal 2065 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:44,680 Speaker 3: because Adrian was emphatic that he wanted to do it 2066 01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:46,880 Speaker 3: and Nicola was emphatic that she didn't want to do 2067 01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:50,200 Speaker 3: the capital things. And then after Adrian leaves, then they 2068 01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:51,960 Speaker 3: do the review, so like it's a big deal, but 2069 01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:54,479 Speaker 3: Christian can't remember it, and maybe, like to be fair 2070 01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 3: to him, there are lots of meetings that happened here 2071 01:37:57,120 --> 01:38:00,400 Speaker 3: at work and I don't listen. They think I'm listening, 2072 01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:02,800 Speaker 3: but I'm not listening, and tune We all tune out. 2073 01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:06,559 Speaker 3: Maybe he just tuned out. Then Babs asked if the 2074 01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:11,840 Speaker 3: meeting was about Adrian Or's resignation. Was this meeting two 2075 01:38:11,920 --> 01:38:14,680 Speaker 3: weeks before he quits about the fact that he's going 2076 01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:15,080 Speaker 3: to quit? 2077 01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:16,120 Speaker 4: Right? 2078 01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,920 Speaker 3: And before Christian can answer the question, he's all like 2079 01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:23,160 Speaker 3: a going to answer the question, the chair of the committee, 2080 01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:27,479 Speaker 3: Cameron Brewer, shuts it down and leaves us hanging. Now, 2081 01:38:27,920 --> 01:38:30,040 Speaker 3: of course Cameron Brewer shut it down. He's a national 2082 01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:32,760 Speaker 3: MP and Nicholas a national MP. So I see what 2083 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,920 Speaker 3: you're doing. They're running interference camera. But we want to know. 2084 01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:37,840 Speaker 3: I want to know what happened, and one day we 2085 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,679 Speaker 3: will know, We will know, And what have you got? 2086 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 24: I really hope Laura is listening in those meetings here 2087 01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:45,400 Speaker 24: because I don't retain everything that happens either. So at 2088 01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:46,880 Speaker 24: one point the boss is going to quiz us, and 2089 01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:48,360 Speaker 24: I think at least one person on the team needs 2090 01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:50,960 Speaker 24: to be listeninger otherwise we're all in trouble.
