1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the question, 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: We get the answers, find a fat sack and give 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: the analysis. Heather Duplicy Ellen, Drive with One New Zealand 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: and the power of satellite mobile news dogs. 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: They'd be. 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 3: Afternoon, Welcome to the show. Coming up today, We're going 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 3: to have a chat to a royal commentator after five 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 3: to see how big Andrew's arrest really is. The Police 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 3: Association on news that more than half of our police 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 3: want to quit the force and should English be an 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 3: official language in this country or not? 12 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 2: Heather Duplicy Allen, Well, let's not. 13 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 3: Beat around the bush. The biggest news in the world 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 3: right now is the arrest overnight our time of Andrew, 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 3: the brother of the King. It is huge, not least 16 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 3: because the last time that a royal was arrested was 17 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty years ago when Charles the First 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 3: was taken prisoner and then beheaded, but also because Andrew wasn't, 19 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: like in most cases involving celebrities, asked to come into 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: the police station and help them out with an inquiry. 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 3: He was arrested at his house, which then police searched 22 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: for more evidence. There is a massive distinction between the two. 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 3: I would say though, that anyone predicting the collapse of 24 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 3: the Royal family, or to the contrary, the survival of 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 3: the Royal family today are being premature, and there is 26 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: a lot of that going on. The charge that Andrew faces, 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: which is misconduct and public office, is apparently very hard 28 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: to prove in the UK because of the way that 29 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 3: the law is written, so this may actually end up 30 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: going completely just nowhere. Really so far, I would say 31 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: Charles has handled the news and the scandal leading up 32 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: to today's news much more decisively than even the late 33 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: Queen handled Andrew's indiscretions, which does help the Royal family, 34 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: and I think, most importantly, the most important people in 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: the Royal family being William and Kate and their kids, 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: seem far enough removed from anything Andrew might have done 37 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: to be safe. On the other hand, what's happened today 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: has a long way to go. This is just the start. 39 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: Next may come some charges, maybe then a prosecution, maybe 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: then a judge in a jury. If that happens, then 41 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: the risks to the Royal family ramp up massively because 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: of what may be discovered about who knew what about 43 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 3: his behavior. For how many years? But if you're looking 44 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 3: for some good news and what has happened today, it's 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 3: that it's proved that the system works. No one is 46 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: above the law, not even the brother of the King. 47 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 2: Heather Duplessy Allen. 48 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: N ninety two for text number standard text speed apply 49 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: and I'll give you some more details about how this 50 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: all played out today. Now the SPCA is calling for 51 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: serious reform to the Dog Control Act. This, of course 52 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: follows the death of a Northland woman earlier this week, 53 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: mauled to death by three dogs in a house. The 54 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: thirty year old piece of legislation, the Dog Control Act, 55 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: currently carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison 56 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 3: or a fine of twenty thousand dollars for owners of 57 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: dogs who call serious injury to a person. Simon Watts 58 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: is the local government minister and just off a plane 59 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: from where was. 60 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 4: It Simon Paris at the International Energy Agency, saw the 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 4: energy ministers from around the world for Heather, good to 62 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 4: talk to you. 63 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks, thanks for making this time and you probably 64 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 3: jet lay. Now what are you planning to do to 65 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: the Dog Control Act? 66 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 4: So I've sought submergent advice following what was a tragic 67 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: incident in regards to the death. Basically to look at 68 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 4: how can we strengthen the Act that, as you know, 69 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 4: is pretty old. It does have quite a lot of powers. 70 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: You know, it's got some criminality powers, it has fines 71 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 4: and enforcement and actually having a review of it. Some 72 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 4: of those I don't think people would even be aware of, 73 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 4: like getting fined if you're not carrying a leash in 74 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: public with your dog. But I think part of the 75 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 4: other challenge is actually enforcement of the legislation as well, 76 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 4: which is a local government and council's responsibility. I'm getting 77 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 4: advice next week either on all options, and I said, look, 78 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: we need stuff that's going to be able to be 79 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 4: immediately done because a challenge with legislation changes it takes 80 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 4: such a long time. But I'll get that advice next week. 81 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: Okay, why are there Roman dogs in Northland? 82 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I think my understanding is is, you know, 83 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 4: you've got a range of people that own dogs that 84 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 4: don't comply with their obligations and responsibilities is good dog 85 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 4: owners And as a result of that, you know, dogs 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: are dogs and they get out and on the loose 87 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 4: and they do what they do. 88 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: Explain to me. Is it a problem with legislation or 89 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 3: resourcing or the desire of councils to do something. What 90 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: is the problem here, because surely what should be happening 91 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 3: is if you have roaming dogs to the extent that 92 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: people in Ichipata are having to carry sticks to fend 93 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 3: them off, surely the councils should just go round them 94 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: up chuck them in the pound. Why is that not happening. 95 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 4: Well, when you look at the Dog Control Act, there 96 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: absolutely are fences and powers for counsel to be able 97 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 4: to deal with that situation. 98 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 5: They can. 99 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: They can actually if they see a roaming dog, they 100 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: don't need anything other than just to see the roaming dog. 101 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 3: They can just pop it in the van and pop 102 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: it in the pound, right. 103 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. 104 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 4: Basically, if it's not wearing its tag, it's classified, is unregistered, 105 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 4: and if it's unregistered then the law applies. 106 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: And immediately they can. Yeah. 107 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 4: I mean that's the challenges. Why are they not wearing 108 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 4: a collar? Well, that is you know, the reality is 109 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 4: that I think there is probably two sides of this. 110 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 4: One is the obligations on local government to actually do 111 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 4: what they do under the powers of the Act. And yes, 112 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 4: from my point of view, we could firm up that 113 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 4: act and make it harsher, but it's going to require 114 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: both sides, and I think that's that's probably the expectation 115 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 4: that I'm making clear to councils. And you know, we'll 116 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 4: look at the act as well. 117 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 3: Okay, so say they, So, what happened in this instance, 118 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 3: apparently is dog control were called to this particular property 119 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 3: because these three dogs had been harassing people and apparently, also, 120 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: if I remember correctly, may have attacked another dog. Now, 121 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: why in that instance would dog control not just take 122 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: the dogs away? 123 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 4: Yes, I haven't got the facts of this exact case, 124 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 4: but there are. 125 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 3: For the purposes of the argument that story that I 126 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: told you is correct. 127 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 4: Well, dog control officers do have the power to, for example, 128 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 4: remove a dog who's barking and that's causing distress. You know, 129 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 4: So that's a you know, first would be an instance 130 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 4: it seems of a lower offense than what's being referred 131 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: to here, and then it ramps up from there. You know, 132 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 4: dogs rushing at persons or animals or vehicles, that's an offense. 133 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 4: Attacking animals and people obviously as an offense causing distress, 134 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: you know. So there's a pretty wide range of offenses 135 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 4: in the Act right up to criminality and twenty grand finds. 136 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 4: So you know, I think there is an obligation here 137 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 4: one first and foremost a dog owners making sure that 138 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: they're you know, having responsibility for their dog. That's first 139 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 4: and foremost. Secondly, making sure that local government are actually 140 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 4: enforcing the act that's currently available right here right now. 141 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 4: And you know what I'm doing, It's going to take 142 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 4: a little bit longer, but it's to firm up that 143 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 4: act and look to make sure that it's got enough 144 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 4: to you know, enough power up to deal. 145 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: Coming to a conclusion that this is an attitude and 146 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: a problem maybe by all of us, amongst all of us, 147 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: not just counsels. But I wonder, actually, simon, if we 148 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 3: just all need to change our attitudes towards dogs and 149 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: tolerate a lot less. And so it's at the council level. 150 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: If they see dogs roaming around, they just need to 151 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: get in there. They get calls to a house, they 152 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 3: need to take the dogs away, and we need to 153 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: also support them in that and stop feeling sorry for 154 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: dog owners who then winge about it. What do you 155 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: think hither. 156 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 4: I'm with you. I think, you know, people just need 157 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 4: to first and foremost take responsibility for their dogs, and 158 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 4: you know pretty much have a zero tolerance of poor behavior. 159 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: And the challenge with dogs is one instance of poor 160 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 4: behavior could be the instance that you're referring to. And 161 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 4: you know, first and foremost, you know, we've got a 162 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 4: pretty we have got an act. Let's make sure that 163 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 4: we're enforcing the powers under it and let. 164 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: Me test you. 165 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: Let me test you on this if I said to you, 166 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: if I said to you that I am totally up 167 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: for just taking the dogs out the back and putting 168 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: them down, does that make you feel squeamish or not? 169 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 4: Well, I grew up on a farm, Heather, so I 170 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 4: probably don't want to quote too much, but I'm I 171 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 4: have a pretty you know. I think the reality is 172 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: is that dogs that are causing serious injury already can 173 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: be destroyed under the Act.

The owners then registered 194 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 3: the dogs and then they get their dogs back.

I reckon they Well, no one 205 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 6: thought they'd beat the Crusaders last week. I'm pretty sure 206 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 6: I said to you there were no chance when we spoke. 207 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 6: Not that that's a very high bar in terms of 208 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 6: my history of predictions, but I think most people thought 209 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 6: the Crusaders would go there last Friday and beat the Highlanders. Instead, 210 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 6: it was the Highlanders who won twenty five twenty three. 211 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 6: So if they beat the defending champions, why couldn't they 212 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 6: tomorrow night beat last year's beaten Grand finalists, the Chiefs. 213 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 6: They haven't changed their team much, Jamie Joseph is stuck 214 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 6: with pretty much the same team. The Chiefs got home 215 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 6: against the Blues last week. As it turned out, there 216 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 6: was an illegal try from Tuporviti and all of that 217 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 6: they won nineteen to fifteen. That try obviously shouldn't have stood. 218 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 6: I don't know what this says about the game, but look, 219 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 6: I think the Highlanders, they typically start seasons pretty well. 220 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 6: They won two of their first three last season. I 221 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 6: reckon there are a chance tomorrow night. 222 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, Jamie Joseph's the coach there, Aim. 223 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 7: He is Jamie Joseph. 224 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 6: You know you're familiar with his work. 225 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm starting to become familiar with his work now 226 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 3: that I hear that he's in the running. But he's 227 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: making the case, isn't he. I mean you you coach 228 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: the Ireland as you do this, well, you're making the 229 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: case to be the AB's head coach, aren't you. 230 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 6: Although that didn't work out for the last bloke, did it? 231 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 6: If we're honest, you know he won seven in a row. Yeah, yeah, 232 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 6: he's a good He's clearly a good coach, James. 233 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: It's a fair point that you make. Now the Phoenix 234 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: v is it Auckland f C this weekend? 235 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, Derby tomorrow long? 236 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 3: How are you feeling about it? 237 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 7: I don't know. 238 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: I really don't know. 239 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 6: Surely the Phoenix will one of these songs to happen 240 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 6: one day, doesn't it really does? DoD? 241 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: I read somewhere Poney that they've got a bit of 242 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 3: an injury set back the Phoenix. 243 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Sarprek's sing who they brought in, you know, 244 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 6: very good player has now been ruled out for the 245 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 6: next eight weeks, so that you know, that plan of 246 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 6: having him ready to play Auckland tomorrow's gone.

So yeah, I can't buy a 249 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 6: trick the Phoenix. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter too 250 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 6: much form. All of these things tend to go out 251 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 6: the window on days like this. But yeah, the last 252 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 6: five all one by Auckland FC. I just wonder what 253 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 6: the greater power is. Is it the power of wanting 254 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 6: to make history or being desperate not to be you know, 255 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 6: the ones who lose for the first time to the 256 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 6: Phoenix if you're Auckland FC.

He's extended the timeline, but there are 411 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 5: still those in the White House who says he is 412 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 5: prepared to strike as early as this weekend. He still 413 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 5: hasn't made a final decision, and he's saying, you know what, 414 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 5: Iran still should not be allowed to acquire these nuclear 415 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 5: weapons and bad things and this is his quote, bad 416 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 5: things will happen if Ron doesn't agree to a nuclear 417 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 5: program deal. 418 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: So what is it sounding like.

But I think 423 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 5: the biggest difference that we're seeing between this build up 424 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 5: and one that happened back in two thousand and three 425 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 5: or so is that this president, we don't think but 426 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 5: anything is possible. We don't think he will put boots 427 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 5: on the ground.

Apparently so apparently senior offices around the country 522 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 3: had no this is in the UK, had no idea 523 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 3: that this was happening. It was being really tightly guarded 524 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 3: as a secret by the Thames Valley Police, who were 525 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 3: the force that carried out the raid, carried out the 526 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 3: arrest and then the search of Andrew mount Batten Windsor's house. 527 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: Only senior officers in that particular police force knew what 528 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 3: they were doing. They'd been planning the operation for a 529 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: few days. They'd managed to apply for a search warrant, 530 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: which they obviously had to do secretly. They had to 531 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 3: persuade a magistrate or a district judge that it was 532 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: necessary to go in and search his houses. So they 533 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 3: got that. Then after they got that, they had to 534 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 3: plan the raid and the arrest. They had to keep 535 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 3: it all a secret the whole way through. They had 536 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: about twenty officers involved with it. Overnight our time. These 537 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 3: officers started out at Oxfordshire, had to drive three hours. 538 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 3: Probably took them about yeah, probably took them about three hours, 539 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 3: So they got there at eight. They must have left 540 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 3: it about five in the morning. What journalists in the 541 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 3: UK are being told is that the team would just 542 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: have been told that they needed to report to the 543 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 3: station very early in the morning. They wouldn't have been 544 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 3: told what it was about. Once they got there, there 545 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 3: would have been asked to hand over their cell phones 546 00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: and at that point they would have been given the 547 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 3: fire briefing. Then they would have headed off, presumably without 548 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 3: their cell phones. When Andrew was then arrested, he would 549 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 3: have been put in the back of the paddy wagon 550 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 3: or the copper card driven back to Oxfordshire the whole 551 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: three hours. If it wasn't a closer station, and I 552 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 3: suspect it ended up being a closer station was fifteen 553 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: minutes away for his formal interview. He would have had 554 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 3: to do the mug shot, the DNA, the fingerprints, the 555 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: whole lot, hand over his phone, hand over any jewelry 556 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 3: that he wasn't going to take into the cell. He 557 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 3: would have been put in a cell while he waited 558 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 3: for his interview. He would have been offered a cup 559 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 3: of tea, maybe some food, and he probably wasn't handcuffed. 560 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 3: We're going to have a chat to a royal correspondent 561 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: about just how enormous this is for the royal family 562 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: after five Barry Soapa's next sixteen Away from. 563 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: Five Politics with Centric Credit, check your customers and get payments. 564 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: Certainty Barris Soaper. 565 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 3: Senior political correspondence with US at thirteen Away from five High. 566 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 8: Barer, Good afternoon, Heather. 567 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 3: Interesting the Greens are finally vetting their lists before just 568 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 3: putting them straight. 569 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's frustrated some in the party because they see 570 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 8: it maybe sort of going towards the show type party 571 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 8: and that's not radical enough for them. So the party 572 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 8: membership won't have the same influence over who gets on 573 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 8: the list come the election, and on the current polling, 574 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 8: they'd get about twelve VMPs and I don't think that 575 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 8: polling will hold up, but we'll see. You know, they 576 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 8: will certainly be back there, there's no doubt about that. 577 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 8: So it's an executive panel of the party that will 578 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 8: vet who what places they are on the list. And 579 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 8: it comes after Darlene Tana, you know, when she was 580 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 8: removed from the party and they've had a bad run. 581 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 8: When you look at Benjamin Doyle, you look at Gory's Garriman, 582 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 8: I mean. 583 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 3: You know Elizabeth Kerry Kerry, that's right. 584 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 8: So really they have to have a better vetting process 585 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 8: to be taken seriously. So that's what they're doing, so 586 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 8: not before time. 587 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say so too. 588 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: All right, So is it contentious? 589 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 3: Is it actually contentious that Winston Peters Is introduced a 590 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 3: bill to make English an official language. 591 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 8: I wouldn't have thought it was contentious at all. I 592 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 8: would have thought that the MPs would say, well, hang on, 593 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 8: it is an English speaking country, Maldy. You've spoken as 594 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 8: well by some and sign language is practiced by some people, 595 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 8: as we see at the Prime Minister's press conferences every week. 596 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 8: But English is not an official language. So New Zealand 597 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 8: first have part of the coalition agreement said that we 598 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 8: would like legislation to put it into the statutes that 599 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 8: the official language, well one of the three official languages 600 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 8: of this country is English. Well that caused no end 601 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 8: of consternation in the House. 602 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 2: Can you believe it? 603 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 8: I can't believe it myself. But the Greens Chloe Swarbrick 604 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 8: vented her spleen about the bill, saying it's aimed at 605 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 8: causing division and isn't needed. 606 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 20: We are speaking it right now, it is not under threat. 607 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 20: But in order to try and cling to power, this 608 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 20: government has decided that it needs to bank on fear. 609 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 20: It needs to invent an oppression that does not exist. 610 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 20: And if you're wondering how Trump's America happened, it is 611 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 20: actually through tactics exactly like this. The government wants to 612 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 20: stoke a fight between Tewi Mahri and Pakia, and they 613 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 20: want that fight to be the focus of this election. 614 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 20: But no one out there in the real world have 615 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 20: asked for this. New Zealanders Mary and Tongue Ta Taiti 616 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 20: a like just want to live their lives in peace. 617 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 13: They want food on. 618 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 20: The table, a roof over their head, a decent income 619 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 20: and a place to belong. That is the reason one 620 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 20: hundred thousand took to the streets last year to reject 621 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 20: this government's approach. So in plain English for all members 622 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 20: of this government. 623 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 3: This bill is bullshit and. 624 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: You know it. 625 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. This worked up about a bill like that? 626 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,479 Speaker 8: Girl seriously, as if it's as if making English an 627 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 8: official language is going to take food off somebody's table. 628 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 8: I mean, please, does it mean you can't order an 629 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 8: English or you don't understand the language? I don't know. 630 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 8: I mean I just thought they talk about getting their 631 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 8: nickers and are. 632 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: Not enough nothing all. Honestly, this just feels like one 633 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 3: of those things to go, oh, that's not we haven't 634 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 3: done that. It feels like it just feels like a 635 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: little bit of admin that should be done to write 636 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 3: something that has been well. 637 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 8: I'll tell you, I'll tell you the problem if you 638 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 8: don't do something like that. You see what has happened, 639 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 8: certainly under the Labor when it added the unbridled power. 640 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 8: You saw government departments changing their name to mold your 641 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 8: name and they can do so because it's an official language. 642 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 3: They got away with it. Making English and official language 643 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: wouldn't change. 644 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 8: That but it means that they can shift it back, 645 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 8: which is what this government has done, because you know, 646 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 8: the Wakats of this world, they've been shifted. 647 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 3: Back to the Your argument is not as bad as Chloe, 648 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: but also you've also just hit me with some bs, so. 649 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 8: I'm just going to say that, Well I am Barrys. 650 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, this is quite right anyway. So how 651 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 3: much money are they checking out the critical minerals? 652 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, you know, this is now really back on 653 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 8: the agenda and it's you'll know, the United States has 654 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 8: been driving this one pretty hard. Resources Minister Shane Jones. 655 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 8: He says two companies have so far applied for funds 656 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 8: and this is out of the regional fund about eighty 657 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 8: million dollars and with extraction, he says, he welcomes from 658 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 8: investors who had shied away from this country. 659 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 14: They'll become quite shy of New Zealand after Jatinda cancel 660 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 14: the oil and gas industry, and one way of overcoming 661 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 14: their nervousness is for the crown to have some hurt 662 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 14: money in the actual enterprise. Of course, the other option too, 663 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 14: that we're exploring is creating some special economic zones that 664 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 14: make it easy to get all the necessary consents for 665 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 14: the critical minerals. I mean we either import them, we 666 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 14: stand on the side, or we get neglected as a 667 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 14: distant Pacific nation not really either important or relevant to 668 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 14: the march of the critical Minerals revolution. And that's not 669 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 14: why I came into politics. 670 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 8: You gotta like Shane Jones. 671 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 3: I like him a lot more when he actually starts 672 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 3: doing something and not just not just talking with his 673 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 3: beautiful floral Yeah, he's got good chat were dopse Barry, 674 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 3: thanks very much, appreciate it. We'll rap the political week 675 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 3: that was shortly. That's at about quarter past sex. Barry Sober, 676 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 3: Senior political correspondent. Seven away from five on the subject 677 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 3: on Chloe's favorite subject at the moment of English as 678 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 3: an official language. We're going to have a chat to 679 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 3: an associate professor of linguistics at aut Sharon Harvey, in 680 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 3: half an hour and just see what her take on 681 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: it is. Is four away from five. Now, I told 682 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 3: you yesterday about the freshwater strategy poll. Got a few 683 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 3: numbers there on how the government's doing. I've got a 684 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 3: little bit more from that for you. This is the 685 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: one that's been released by the Post. The newspaper in 686 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 3: the last couple of days. This time it's on politicians 687 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 3: favorability and I'm sorry to say, although you will not 688 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: be surprised, not very good for the Prime Minister. So 689 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 3: his personal approval rating according to this poll, has fallen 690 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 3: fourteen points in just two months. So in December it 691 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: was sitting on negative eleven. It is now sitting on 692 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 3: negative twenty five. Now, if you don't know what this is, 693 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 3: this is basically where they take the people who like 694 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 3: him and then they subtract the people who don't like him, 695 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 3: and then you end up with your final number. And 696 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 3: the fact that he's sitting on negative twenty five shows 697 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 3: you that there are a lot more people who don't 698 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 3: like him than people who like him. Chrishipkins has fallen 699 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 3: quite a lot as well. He's fallen eighteen points, but 700 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 3: he started at seventeen, so minus eighteen you end up 701 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 3: negative one. So he's on negative one. Now that is 702 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: a lead that he has got as the opposition leader. 703 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 3: Negative one. That is a lead on the Prime minister 704 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 3: at negative twenty five. That is bizarrely large in modern 705 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 3: political history. According to the pollsters, winnip is on a 706 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 3: net favorability of negative six. Chloe is on a net 707 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 3: favorability of negative seven. All that, I think if you 708 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 3: polled again, it'd probably go down. Right now, the only 709 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 3: person who has fallen further than Chris Luxon is David Seymour. 710 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 3: He's down thirty five points in between basically August twenty 711 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 3: three and now he now sits at negative twenty nine percent. 712 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 13: Right. 713 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 3: We're going to deal next with what is going on 714 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 3: with Andrew and how big this is and whether it's 715 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 3: an existential crisis for the monarchs. Next with the Royal Correspondent, 716 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 3: News Talk ZB. 717 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 9: You're sad when you're sad if you only know what. 718 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: Dressing the newsmakers to get the real story. 719 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duper c Ellen Drive with One New Zealand 720 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: to cover like no one else. 721 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,959 Speaker 2: New Talk Savy, Good afternoon. 722 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 3: Former Prince Andrew has been allowed to return to his 723 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 3: Sandringham home after being arrested overnight ourtheim by local police. 724 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 3: He was arrested over allegations of misconduct and public office 725 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 3: after it was revealed that he sent classified UK trade 726 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 3: secrets to the disgrace financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew is the 727 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 3: first senior royal arrested since Charles the First of England, 728 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 3: who was then beheaded. Juliet Redon is a Royal correspondent. Hi, Juliet, Hello. 729 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: There Are you of the view that this is an 730 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 3: existential crisis for the monarchy or something that they will 731 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 3: absolutely survive. 732 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 19: Well, I think time will tell. To be honest, I 733 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 19: think it's a very difficult time for the monarchy. I 734 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 19: think this is a watershed moment. We're certainly in uncharted waters. 735 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 19: But I do think that the King's statement, which was 736 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 19: made very swiftly after his brother was arrested, was very 737 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 19: powerful and set the tone for where where the firm 738 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 19: is going to be heading from here on in which 739 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 19: essentially is separating themselves completely from Andrew mount Batten Windsor. 740 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 19: He will be left in the hands of the investigation 741 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 19: unit at the police. He's a private citizen. He is 742 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 19: not a member of the royal family. The royal family themselves, 743 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 19: the working royal family will be continuing as King Charles says, 744 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 19: my family and I will continue in our duty and 745 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 19: service to you all. And certainly they were out there 746 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 19: doing that almost immediately after that. 747 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: If you compare this to previous royal scandals, and there 748 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 3: have been a fair few in the last fifty years 749 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 3: or so. How does this one shape up the biggest one? 750 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 3: I think so. 751 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 19: I think it's you know, people have been saying, oh, 752 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 19: the abdication was the worst, but the abdication was really 753 00:34:59,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 19: a love story. 754 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 3: This is far from that. 755 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 19: This is about potential alleged criminal activity by a very 756 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 19: senior royal, the eighth in line to the throne. This 757 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 19: is as bad as it gets, I think. 758 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 3: Do we have any idea why it is that the 759 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 3: police instead of arresting him, instead of asking him to 760 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 3: come into the station like they normally would do with 761 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 3: a celebrity, they are rested him at his house. 762 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 19: I don't know because they haven't said, but I can 763 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 19: suppose that the reason was that they needed the optics 764 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 19: to be that Andrew mount Batton Windsor was being treated 765 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 19: like anyone else who was being arrested on suspicion of 766 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 19: what is a very major offense in this case, misconduct 767 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 19: in public office. What is key to this investigation for 768 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 19: the police was going into Andrew mount Batton Windsor's houses, 769 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 19: which they did at Sandringham. They also went into his 770 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 19: former house at Royal Lodge, going through all of his documents, 771 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 19: his hard drives, his computers, all of that with Andrew unawares. 772 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 19: They didn't want to him to have advanced notice of that. Indeed, 773 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 19: the King did not have advanced notice, neither did Buckingham Palace, 774 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 19: neither did the Royal households. So the idea is that 775 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 19: Andrew needs to be treated as any other regular citizen. 776 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: That is what he is now. 777 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 19: He is no longer a prince of the realm. 778 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 3: Very hard, very hard charged to prove, though, isn't it. 779 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 19: I don't know, because those emails, which of course are 780 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 19: unverified at the moment, certainly, if they are accurate, they 781 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 19: certainly do show I believe misconduct because Andrew was passing 782 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 19: on confidential files and contacts to Jeffrey Epstein minutes after 783 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 19: he received those files. Those files are confidential. He was 784 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 19: a trade and voy at the time for the British 785 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 19: Government's a very special position, a position that needs confidentiality. 786 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 19: Andrew should not have passed those files on and it's 787 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 19: a very grave efent. It's a betrayal of his role, 788 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 19: it's a betrayal of the British public. It's a betrayal 789 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 19: of the government. 790 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 3: Juliet, thank you for you to I appreciate as Juliet 791 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 3: read and Royal correspondent. By the way, it's being reported 792 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 3: that Andrew will not be allowed to use UK taxpayers 793 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 3: funds to pay for his legal bill, even if he 794 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 3: can't afford it himself. It'll be blocked by the King. 795 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 3: Twelve past five together dup right to the police. Apparently 796 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 3: fifty seven percent of our serving police officers have thought 797 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 3: about resigning in the last year. Now. This is according 798 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,720 Speaker 3: to a Police Association survey that found pay and stress 799 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 3: are the big factors behind that. Steve, what is the 800 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 3: Police Association president? Hi, Steve got to carry Heather. It 801 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 3: happens all the time, mate, it happens all the time. 802 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 3: But it was a claim. Now is this real? Do 803 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 3: you think or is this just a passing thought and 804 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:04,439 Speaker 3: they've ticked the box. 805 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 21: No, it's absolutely real, and it just highlights what pressure 806 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 21: our officers are under. The jobs are risky jobs. It 807 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 21: weighs heavily on our members' mental and emotional wellbeing. And 808 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 21: this is just a manifestation of the frustration and the 809 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 21: pressure that our members are under. 810 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 3: Do you think that it is worse than previous years. 811 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 2: It's hard to tell. 812 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 21: It's the first first time that we've asked this question, 813 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 21: and the reason that we asked it was that there 814 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 21: was anecdotal evidence coming from our members that there was 815 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,320 Speaker 21: a growing number that we're looking at leaving, so we 816 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 21: wanted to test that and this was the first year 817 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 21: that we did so. So it's hard to compare it 818 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,720 Speaker 21: to other years, but sixty percent or nearer on sixty 819 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 21: percent is definitely a concerning number. 820 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 3: Okay. Now, Police HQ says everything's fine, the attrition rates 821 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 3: about five percent and heaps of people are coming back 822 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 3: from Australia and rejoining the force. What do you say 823 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 3: to that, This isn't a number that can be ignored. 824 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 21: What the police and the government need to understand is 825 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 21: that there's reasons behind such a big number. Whilst they 826 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,240 Speaker 21: may not be leaving yet, there's obviously a huge amount 827 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 21: of sentiment in behind a sixty percent number of police 828 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 21: that have contemplated leaving that can't be ignored. 829 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 3: Can you just fix it with pay or do you 830 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 3: need something else here? 831 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 21: There's a number of issues. Pays obviously a very big one, 832 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 21: but it's also about resourcing, making sure that police have 833 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 21: the numbers in the right place so that our members 834 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 21: aren't having to do over time, they're not having to 835 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 21: work alone, they're going to up where they need to. 836 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 21: So it's a whole raft of things. But ultimately one 837 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 21: of the main reasons our members signal that they were 838 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 21: looking to leave was pay. 839 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,959 Speaker 3: All right, Steve, it's good to talk to you. Thank you, mate, Steve. 840 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 3: What Police Association president ever do see? Okay, So the 841 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 3: photo of Andrew slumped in the back of his range 842 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 3: Rover looking like looking as freaked out as you would 843 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 3: imagine you would be if you've just been arrested by 844 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 3: the police, that is obviously going to become the defining 845 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 3: photo of what has just happened to him. There is 846 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 3: a yarn behind this. It was taken by a Routers photographer, 847 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 3: Phil Noble. Now Phil is actually based in Manchester and 848 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 3: when the news broke he started driving south to Norfolk. 849 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 3: That is a six hour drive, so he drove for 850 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 3: six hours. He got a tip that Andrew was at 851 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 3: a station, a really odd police station in a town 852 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 3: called Alsham, and so he went there. There was not 853 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 3: much going on there. A couple of other members of 854 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 3: the media. There was another Router's video journalist who's there. 855 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,439 Speaker 3: They waited for six or seven hours, so he's driven 856 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,479 Speaker 3: for six hours. Now he's waiting for six or seven hours, 857 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 3: and it's got dark and there's nothing happening, and they decided, nah, 858 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 3: we've got the wrong place. So they pack up and 859 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 3: they leave and they go book rooms in a hotel. 860 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 3: But a few minutes after he gets to the hotel, 861 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 3: he gets a call from the video journalist who's also 862 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 3: working for Routters, tells him to come back. The cars 863 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 3: have arrived to pick Andrew up. He races back. He 864 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 3: gets there just in time to see two cars leaving. 865 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 3: The front car's got the two coppers in it, so 866 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 3: he aims his camera, just aims it and starts taking 867 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 3: photos of the car behind. Takes six photos to show 868 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 3: police to a blank, one is out of focus, one 869 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 3: has Andrew in it. Quarter past goodness, I'd almost forgotten. 870 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 3: We need to talk about the fact that the government 871 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 3: is basically doing another U turn, in this time it's 872 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 3: on banning. The surcharges will deal with that. Shortly eighteen 873 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 3: past five. Now Winster Peters, as you know, has introduced 874 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 3: a bill to Parliament to make English and official language, 875 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 3: and the debate in Parliament got weirdly fiery, with Chloe 876 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 3: Swarbrick in particular quite scathing. Auckland University of Technology Associate 877 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 3: Professor of linguistic Sharon Harvey is with us on this 878 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 3: high Sharon. 879 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 22: Cura, Heather, it's thanks for having me on the program. 880 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 3: Good to talk to you. Is this actually really that contentious? 881 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 22: I think it's quite contentious. We have language legislation in 882 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 22: New Zealand for very particular reasons, and English doesn't fall 883 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 22: into that category. 884 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 3: What are those reasons? 885 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 22: We have legislation around language for protection reasons and for 886 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 22: vulnerable communities, particularly communities that weren't previously didn't have their 887 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,840 Speaker 22: languages previously recognized, for example in justice settings or in 888 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 22: educational settings. So, for example, in the case of the 889 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 22: deaf community, they wouldn't regularly be able to get access 890 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 22: to deaf interpreters or Deaf English interpreters. 891 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 3: Right, Okay, so we've made sign language and Thrill Maari 892 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 3: official languages to protect them. Is there any reason, though, 893 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 3: why we wouldn't make English an official language. 894 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 22: Well, I guess we don't have any reason to protect 895 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 22: English English? 896 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 3: But is that the only reason you ever make something 897 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,320 Speaker 3: an official language. 898 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 22: Well, I guess if we look at like jurisdictions like Australia, 899 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 22: federal level of the US and the UK, those jurisdictions 900 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 22: don't have English as an official language and don't see 901 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 22: any need to, I guess this feels like a big 902 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 22: waste of time really and money. There's just no reason 903 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:06,320 Speaker 22: for it. 904 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 3: All right, Hey, thank you very much, Sharon, appreciate your time. 905 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 3: That Sharon Harvey, aut Associate Professor of Linguistics. Now, yeah, 906 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 3: actually i'd like to know. Look, as I said before, 907 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 3: I'm not fussed either way on this one. If it's 908 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 3: not an official language, it doesn't really bother me because 909 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,240 Speaker 3: whatever we speak it anyway. If it is an official language, 910 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 3: also don't really care. So it just feels like one 911 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,800 Speaker 3: of those ones that I'm like, you do what you're with. 912 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 3: If Winston wants to do that the admin and chuck 913 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 3: it in there and spend some time that's important to him, 914 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 3: he can go for it. I don't feel cross one 915 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 3: way or the other. If you do, though, hit me 916 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 3: with it so I can understand, cause obviously Sharon's in 917 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 3: the Chloe camp. There no disrespect, but she clearly is anyway, 918 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,320 Speaker 3: so let me know nine two, niney two. Now, entirely predictably, 919 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 3: the government has killed off that plan of banning the surcharges. 920 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 3: You know when you go to the grocery store and 921 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,839 Speaker 3: what it's not really at the grocery store, but let's 922 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 3: say you go to the chemist, who go to the 923 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 3: dairy or whatever, and you go to pay with your 924 00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 3: payWave and they go, there's a surcharge and cost your 925 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 3: sixty cents. They wanted to ban it. They've un they've 926 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 3: undone that. And I don't want to say I told 927 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 3: you so, but I am going to say I told 928 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 3: you so because I told you so on multiple occasions, 929 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 3: including the last line of my etico do some my 930 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,840 Speaker 3: own admin today, last line of my column in the 931 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 3: Herald on Sunday third of August twenty twenty five. I say, 932 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 3: watch now for how they get out of this. They 933 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 3: will have to. They can't be doing this to their 934 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 3: own voter base and small retailers just months out from 935 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 3: next year's election, because of course they're making the small 936 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 3: retailer suck up the searcharge. And wow, what a surprise. 937 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 3: Months out from the election, they're backing away from it 938 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:37,280 Speaker 3: now Consumer New Zealand is not happy about that. Consumer 939 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 3: New Zealand still wants the government to go ahead with 940 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 3: the band, so they will be with us after six 941 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,479 Speaker 3: o'clock and talk us through their thinking. They're five twenty 942 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 3: two cutting through. 943 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 2: The noise to get the facts. 944 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: It's Heather do for c Ellen drive with one New 945 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: Zealand coverage like no one else news talks. 946 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,320 Speaker 3: They'd be five twenty four sports Tittle is going to 947 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 3: be with us short now. I'll get you across some 948 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 3: of that. We should talk about to Hue, shouldn't we? 949 00:44:59,760 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 13: Yeah? 950 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 3: We should to who here is one of the reasons 951 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 3: that I previously a skeptic of the plan to cap 952 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 3: council rates and fast becoming a fan of the idea 953 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 3: of cap and council rates. To who here is a 954 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,720 Speaker 3: dog of an idea. Five years of it wasting ratepayers 955 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 3: and taxpayers money was frankly enough, the trial should never 956 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 3: have been extended for another year yesterday. That train costs 957 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 3: six million dollars every year to run. But whatever it 958 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,879 Speaker 3: is that the passengers pay when they jump on board 959 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 3: is not the full cost of running the thing. They 960 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 3: are subsidized by ratepayers and taxpayers to the tune of 961 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 3: eighty four dollars to ninety two dollars every single trip 962 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 3: they take per person, so per person, every single trip, 963 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 3: eighty four to ninety two dollars. And that's just one way, 964 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 3: so when they come back the other way, you can 965 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 3: add that on again. So it's coming very close to 966 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 3: about two hundred dollars just to catch the train from 967 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 3: Hamilton to Auckland back again. If you listen to Angela, 968 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 3: who was from the council on with Mike this morning, 969 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,400 Speaker 3: the train is actually not a raging success. Patronage has 970 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 3: recently dropped off. So given that the thing is incredibly 971 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 3: expensive and now not that popular, you'd think that the 972 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 3: looming end of the five year trial midway through this 973 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 3: year would have given than the Wycuttle Regional Council the 974 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 3: perfect out they could kill off this dog of an idea. 975 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 3: They didn't even have to just trial is over, that's it. 976 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 3: But no, they asked for another year to try and 977 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 3: try to keep on making this thing into a thing 978 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 3: and wasting rate payer money and actually taxpayer money as well. 979 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 3: And meanwhile they're jacking up their council rates by five 980 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 3: point seven percent, which is close to fifty percent more 981 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 3: than what the proposed rates cap would have be set at. 982 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 3: You've got that, You've then got Akaya blowing three hundred 983 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 3: thousand dollars on renovating the fish statue. Then you've got 984 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 3: in the Cargol blowing two million dollars on building a 985 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 3: clock tower in a day and age when everyone has 986 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 3: the time on their cell phone already. And then you've 987 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 3: got the situation in Wellington where they've had to cancel 988 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,399 Speaker 3: finally the cycle ways so they could put the money 989 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 3: into fixing the poop pipes. All of that stuff together 990 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 3: is frankly why I'm becoming fast a fan of rates caps, 991 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 3: because I think it is time to take the pocket 992 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 3: money away from the children. They're wasting it on train 993 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,320 Speaker 3: sets again, Heather Do for ce Ellen Yeather. Given the 994 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 3: way that political activism is in the interest of all 995 00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,720 Speaker 3: things racial, I think it's only time before some idiot 996 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 3: mount an argument that we shouldn't be allowed to speak 997 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,800 Speaker 3: English because it's not an official language of New Zealand, 998 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 3: therefore it should be an official language of New Zealand. 999 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 3: Hither I don't know why there's so much negative talk 1000 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 3: about making English an official language. And yes, we do 1001 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 3: need to protect it. Honestly, with the Malori party the 1002 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 3: way it is hither, it's bloody common sense to make 1003 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,759 Speaker 3: English an official language. It'll stop the strive to have 1004 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 3: everything in Toiday and so it goes on. I feel 1005 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,960 Speaker 3: like I feel like everybody's been slightly snookered by Winstill 1006 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 3: in this one, don't you think, because I mean, I 1007 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,839 Speaker 3: don't know none of that stuff that that just came 1008 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 3: through on the text machine is particularly I don't really 1009 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 3: care about whatever. It doesn't I'm not phased by it, 1010 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,959 Speaker 3: but it does feel like a snooker of an argument, 1011 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 3: isn't it. We all speak English and so to vote 1012 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 3: against it being an official language does feel like a 1013 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 3: really dumb thing to do in parliament, Like you're speaking 1014 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,440 Speaker 3: English in parliament and young no, it shouldn't be an 1015 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 3: official language. So I feel like he's kind of he's 1016 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 3: just going to kind of make make it idiots out 1017 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 3: of everybody who votes against it. Anyway, well haven't you 1018 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 3: had to bury Soper? He'll rap the political week that 1019 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,760 Speaker 3: was quarter past six.

I 1038 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised by this, and I also wouldn't be 1039 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 3: surprised if there are more people and organizations who take 1040 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 3: a similar stance on what is going on on Twitter 1041 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 3: at the moment.

Doing it five times is exponentially 1047 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 11: harder because every medal is equally hard for me, but 1048 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 11: everybody else's expectations right, like the. 1049 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 20: Price of coffee over here is. 1050 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 12: Actually fine, I'm not sure that the winers. 1051 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 2: Where are you going with that one? 1052 00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 3: On the huddle of us this evening, we have Adam Cooper, 1053 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 3: host of the All Sports breakfast on News Talks he'd 1054 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,240 Speaker 3: be in Wellington, and Nathan Limb, the Herald sports journalist 1055 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,200 Speaker 3: with us. Hello you too. Hello. All right, So Nathan, 1056 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 3: we've had the resignation of Matt Winnerai's the chair of 1057 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 3: Netball New Zealanders. At the end of try to bow 1058 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 3: on the matter, it's all over. 1059 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 16: This is only the beginning of what they have to 1060 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 16: do in order to turn things around with the sport 1061 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 16: as a whole. Because yes, there has been a lot 1062 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 16: of change in leadership. Geniy Wiley stepped down now the 1063 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 16: board chair has stepped down a few board members as well, 1064 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 16: but there is a lot of reparation to go on. 1065 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 16: I suppose at an elite level, we still need to 1066 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 16: know that Dave Nilen total has sort of solved things 1067 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 16: with the playing group, but she still has not had 1068 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 16: any time with them and at the stage won't until 1069 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 16: three weeks out from the Commonwealth Games. At an A 1070 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 16: and Z premiership level, they've only got a broadcast deal 1071 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 16: for this year, so that whole conundrum that we've had 1072 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 16: for the last two years of who's going to take 1073 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 16: and we're going to have that again this year, so 1074 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,320 Speaker 16: that needs to be sorted out. And then in December 1075 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 16: you had the white cut of Bay of Plenty Zone 1076 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 16: calling for the board to be overhauled because that they'd 1077 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,720 Speaker 16: lost faith in the leadership. And so leadership changes have happened. 1078 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 16: Now now they need to bring people in externally and 1079 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 16: starts solvazation. 1080 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 3: Is this he I mean, you can obviously sheet home 1081 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 3: to him what happened with Dame Knowles because he to 1082 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 3: sign off on that whole process. So everything that happened 1083 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 3: was because the board said that that was okay. But 1084 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,800 Speaker 3: can you blame the board for the state that the 1085 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 3: sport finds itself, and like, is this their fault? 1086 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 16: The board looks after I suppose the board is the 1087 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,719 Speaker 16: chief executive's boss, right, so the chief executive's kind of 1088 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 16: running the show, and then the chief executive has to 1089 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,279 Speaker 16: report to the board how the organization is running. So 1090 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,320 Speaker 16: whether you put the blame with the CEO or with 1091 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 16: the board, isn't that what I'm. 1092 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,320 Speaker 3: Trying to say? Is it their fault or is it 1093 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 3: actually just a function of what happened with us dropping 1094 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 3: out of the premiership in Australia. 1095 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 16: Well, I think the sport of netball has been too 1096 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,720 Speaker 16: slow to adjust in New Zealand and the board should 1097 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 16: have had the foresight to see what other teams, what 1098 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 16: other nations were doing oversea overseas, but that also should 1099 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 16: have come from the CEO. And you know, I have 1100 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 16: a little bit of sympathy for Matt Winer, who Genny 1101 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,320 Speaker 16: Wiley just sort of dropped off the face of the 1102 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 16: earth late last year when all that was going on. 1103 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 16: She went on leave and then she just disappeared. I 1104 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,320 Speaker 16: think I talked to her last in sort of late October, 1105 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,799 Speaker 16: and from there she just disappeared. And no one has 1106 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,800 Speaker 16: spoken to her, and Matt sort of shouldered all of that, 1107 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 16: so you know, he's had a really, really tough job. 1108 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 16: But I think it's clear that just they needed a 1109 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,719 Speaker 16: refreshing leadership and we need some new ideas and try 1110 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 16: and move the sport forward. 1111 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 23: What do you think could yeah, I mean, I think 1112 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 23: if I was a board member of surviving this, I'd 1113 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,439 Speaker 23: feel a little bit of not necessarily survivors guilt because 1114 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,760 Speaker 23: you're not necessarily surviving because you're still leading the sports. 1115 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,440 Speaker 23: So it's one of its tumultuous errors. So complacency is 1116 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 23: the word I use as to where Nepor got. They 1117 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,800 Speaker 23: were so strong commercially, they had incredible following. You wouldn't 1118 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 23: see many Silver Ferns tests anywhere in New Zealand that 1119 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 23: would have set out many am Z Premiership games. You know, 1120 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 23: there was high interest in most of the franchises around 1121 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 23: the country. The sport was in such a strong position, 1122 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 23: and somehow this board oversaw that transfer into being a 1123 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,880 Speaker 23: very vulnerable sport over time. You know, they felt they 1124 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,439 Speaker 23: were too good for the am Z Premiership TV rights 1125 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,880 Speaker 23: deal to ever be not renewed, and they've just overseen 1126 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 23: you know, problem after problem, but I think, you know, 1127 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 23: you look back at some of the reasons and most 1128 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,879 Speaker 23: of them have been caused by management decisions or lack 1129 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 23: of management decisions to sort of, you know, bounce back 1130 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 23: from from a lot of the issues the sport was facing. 1131 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 23: So in terms of a new board, I'd like to 1132 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 23: see the entire board that I oversaw the last twelve 1133 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,840 Speaker 23: eighteen months of decision making go. The sport needs to 1134 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 23: start afresh. There's plenty of good people with a netball 1135 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,839 Speaker 23: that I think could be considered to run a new era, 1136 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,400 Speaker 23: a rebuilding era for netboard New Zealand. And it's got 1137 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 23: to happen now. As Nathan mentioned, Dan nol Ling Tota 1138 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,399 Speaker 23: is possible, you know, realignment with the firms playing group. 1139 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 23: Wherether that happens down the track or not, We'll wait 1140 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,280 Speaker 23: and see. But I think completely new leadership from start 1141 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:43,239 Speaker 23: to finish of his board as the starting point. 1142 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,880 Speaker 3: Interesting. You're harsh as well, by the way coops you 1143 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 3: want them all gone, SALGP coops you reckon too unsafe. 1144 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,320 Speaker 23: Yeah, I think you know that's interesting. I heard someone 1145 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 23: earlier in the week describe it as the early days 1146 00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 23: of Formula one when safety had still a lot of 1147 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 23: areas and gray areas with the sport. I mean the 1148 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,880 Speaker 23: way these bodes fly at incredibly high speeds and then 1149 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 23: the way they try and cram them into these tiny 1150 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,799 Speaker 23: little tracks close to the spectators, I think has caught 1151 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 23: them off guard of it, to be honest. You know, 1152 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,200 Speaker 23: some of the accidents are seeing, not just obviously the 1153 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 23: big one in Auckland last weekend, but others on the circuit. 1154 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 23: They've become quite consistent and regular and putting lives at danger, 1155 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 23: and you know, these serious injuries, particularly the Kiwi guy 1156 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 23: last weekend, they do need to rethink some of them. 1157 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 23: Do they have a reduced playing fields where they only 1158 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 23: have sort of half the fleet in each race and 1159 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 23: sort of split them up timing wise? Do they take 1160 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:41,880 Speaker 23: them out a little bit more and you know, just 1161 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 23: have to take away the fan experience ever so slightly. 1162 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,399 Speaker 23: But in this day and age, there's not many things 1163 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 23: you would get away with the level of risk that 1164 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,319 Speaker 23: sayal GP take each and every race they do these days. 1165 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,880 Speaker 23: So I think it'll cause a quite a big rethink 1166 00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,280 Speaker 23: around safety. I don't think it will end the sport 1167 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 23: and what it offers an entertainment package because it was 1168 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,319 Speaker 23: absolutely brilliant there and awkward. But I think they must 1169 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 23: take this seriously now because they are within a few 1170 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 23: percentage points of a real disaster. 1171 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 3: So Nathan, somebody text through earlier, earlier in the week 1172 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 3: and said they went along and when they actually split 1173 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 3: the course, when they took half of them out, let 1174 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:20,880 Speaker 3: them race each other and then the other half, it 1175 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,799 Speaker 3: was actually a better viewing experience and the whole lot 1176 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 3: of them trying to race each other. So is that 1177 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 3: maybe the solution. 1178 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 16: Well, they were going to split to change it to 1179 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 16: split fleets for next year anyway, so this is a 1180 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 16: change that was going to happen anyway. I think you 1181 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 16: need to probably point out that the crash that happened, 1182 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 16: you could have two boats next to each other and 1183 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,320 Speaker 16: it might have happened. I was going to draw the 1184 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 16: comparison with Formula one as well that you did COOPS 1185 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,200 Speaker 16: and to say, you know, in motorsport, if there's a 1186 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 16: big crash, we'd be having the same conversation as Formula 1187 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:57,080 Speaker 16: one too unsafe. These things do happen, I think I 1188 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,520 Speaker 16: think so GP, like you said, COEPS is in its infancy, 1189 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 16: so they are going to be figuring out these little things. 1190 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,760 Speaker 16: For example, in Formula one they introduced the halos around 1191 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 16: the driver's heads so that if there were to be 1192 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,839 Speaker 16: a crash, there is something they're protecting there. So maybe 1193 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,640 Speaker 16: there's something in that sort of area that they could 1194 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 16: look at when people are in those little compartments and 1195 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 16: you've got potentially another boat flying over the top, so 1196 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 16: there's going to be little things that they can look at. 1197 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 16: But I don't think this is we don't need to 1198 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,880 Speaker 16: be dramatizing this in the way that this is the 1199 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 16: end of the sport or that's going to cause an 1200 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 16: overhaul of the sport. No, it's just about fine tuning 1201 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:27,839 Speaker 16: and these things do come with risk. 1202 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally fair point. As well said, actually they'll probably 1203 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 3: find tune. It will take a break. Come back shortly 1204 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 3: with these guys at seventeen away from six. 1205 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,080 Speaker 1: The Friday Sports title with New Zealand Southurby's international. 1206 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,360 Speaker 2: Real team, the only truly global brand. 1207 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,919 Speaker 3: Fourteen away from six and you're back with the sports tittle, 1208 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,160 Speaker 3: Adam Cooper, Nathan Limb. Adam, can you tell me why 1209 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:49,960 Speaker 3: it is? Like, explain to me why it is that 1210 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:53,320 Speaker 3: New Zealand Crickets Board is agonizing over n Z twenty 1211 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:54,719 Speaker 3: to the extent that it is because it looks to 1212 00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:55,600 Speaker 3: me like a no brainer. 1213 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 24: Yeah, it's really frustrating, isn't it that we don't have 1214 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 24: clarity over what is happening in less than twelve months time. 1215 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:08,800 Speaker 24: January is the window for whatever tournaments the domestic competition 1216 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:13,280 Speaker 24: takes next summer, and players above all have no idea 1217 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,799 Speaker 24: what what to do. So you can't blame what we've 1218 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 24: heard during the week about more players considering not being 1219 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 24: centrally contracted by a New Zealand cricket And to be honest, 1220 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 24: I don't think that's a bad thing in this uncertainty, 1221 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 24: and you can't blame the players for doing that. You 1222 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,520 Speaker 24: look at some of our top performers from this current tournament, 1223 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 24: the TEA two, any World Cup. A lot of them 1224 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 24: are players who have chosen in the recent seasons not 1225 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 24: to be contracted, players the likes of Finaleen, Devin Conway, 1226 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,320 Speaker 24: Lucky Ferguson, Kane Williamson. I don't think it's necessarily a 1227 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 24: bad thing for the game in the future because it 1228 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:49,800 Speaker 24: is the reality if more players decide to become sort 1229 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,959 Speaker 24: of freelancers if you like they slot into the Black 1230 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 24: Caps for tournaments like these, hopefully a few series on 1231 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 24: and off at home or away. But the nature of 1232 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 24: the sport is now if players can't cast their eyes 1233 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 24: eleven months ahead knowing that there's going to either be 1234 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 24: a franchise competition in New Zealand there's going to be 1235 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 24: a watered down Super Smash, which right now feels to 1236 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 24: me is the most likely option. Next year is kind 1237 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 24: of an in between between what we've had and the 1238 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,920 Speaker 24: future competition, because it's going to be a lot to 1239 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 24: get an MZ twenty up and running in eleven months now. 1240 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 24: You just can't blame these players, and it has just 1241 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,240 Speaker 24: been one of those things when the Zealand cricket has 1242 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 24: kind of tried to fight. The fight appears almost over, 1243 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,959 Speaker 24: but you just get that sense that there's a little 1244 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,960 Speaker 24: bit of stubbornness there stopping it completely. Being given the 1245 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 24: green light from the entire New Zealand Cricket Board, so 1246 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 24: the writings on the wall, it is going to happen. 1247 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 13: It needs to happen. 1248 00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 24: Our domestic associations really need a league like this for 1249 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 24: financial stability. 1250 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 13: Players obviously want it. 1251 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 23: Let's just make it happen. 1252 00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 3: Why don't they just make it happen, Nathan, I don't know. 1253 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,960 Speaker 16: I think it seems to me like the clear option 1254 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 16: is to get some private backers in and to just 1255 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 16: fold and do this franchise model because we don't have 1256 00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 16: a choice. The Super Smash is just not at the 1257 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 16: same quality as overseas. 1258 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 3: So the question isn't actually do you do the Super 1259 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 3: Smash or do you do then NZ twenty, it's do 1260 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,680 Speaker 3: you do the NZ twenty or do you join the 1261 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:12,600 Speaker 3: Big Bash in Australia? Which would you do? 1262 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 16: I mean, I don't I quite like the idea of 1263 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,600 Speaker 16: joining the Big Bash. But from what we've heard from 1264 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 16: what that HEROLD understands from players, is the NZ twenty. 1265 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,240 Speaker 16: I think it's the more preferred option of the two. 1266 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 16: And you think that would provide more playing opportunities in 1267 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,640 Speaker 16: New Zealand rather than one or two yeah, exactly, rather 1268 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,680 Speaker 16: than one or two teams in an Australian competition. I'm 1269 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 16: going to draw a direct comparison with this to the 1270 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 16: netball last year, with what keeps us saying about the 1271 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 16: uncertainty and players looking to go overseas because they just 1272 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,640 Speaker 16: don't know what the future is. Last year didn't have 1273 00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 16: a broadcast. You're locked in for this year. Top silver 1274 00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,040 Speaker 16: fans start looking at overseas competitions which are better in quality, 1275 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,880 Speaker 16: and go, Actually, you know what, I'm going to make 1276 00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 16: more money. I'm going to be a better player if 1277 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 16: I go over to Australia or wherever. Wherever. We're seeing 1278 00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 16: the exact same scenario now playing out in New Zealand. 1279 00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 16: We just need a decision. The players just need well. 1280 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 3: They need to get the Deloitte report and then they 1281 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,360 Speaker 3: need to make the decision. But they need to get 1282 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:04,720 Speaker 3: it over and done with, like as quickly as they 1283 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 3: possibly can. Okay, I want you guys to weigh in 1284 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,800 Speaker 3: on this. Listen to this. This is This is Eileen Goo, 1285 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 3: who's a free skier for the Chinese squad. She's asked 1286 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,880 Speaker 3: a question at a press conference after she's won two golds, 1287 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,480 Speaker 3: making her the most decorated free skier in the world. No, 1288 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,960 Speaker 3: hod on toss Silver's I think, not two golds. That's 1289 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,640 Speaker 3: the reporting half. Thank you, Nathan. Here we go. Do 1290 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 3: you see these is two silvers gained or two goals lost? 1291 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 11: The two metals. Last situation to be quite friend with you, 1292 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 11: I think is kind of a ridiculous perspective to take. 1293 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,320 Speaker 11: I'm showcasing my best skiing. I'm doing things that quite 1294 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 11: literally have never been done before, and so I think 1295 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,800 Speaker 11: that is more than good enough. 1296 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 3: So he's getting a bit of a SmackDown for being 1297 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 3: cheeky with that question, Nathan, I reckon that question was 1298 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 3: totally legit. 1299 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 16: Oh it's half Hey, what he's asking is this the 1300 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,320 Speaker 16: glass half full or half empty? That's what he's asking. 1301 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 16: No top level olympian goes into Olympic, an Olympic final 1302 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:06,280 Speaker 16: and goes, God, you know, I'd love the silver. I'd 1303 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:11,439 Speaker 16: really love nothing silver. She's a highly rated athlete, highly 1304 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 16: decorated athlete. You're telling me she wasn't gunning for the gold, 1305 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,440 Speaker 16: you know. Like, so for me, I find it a 1306 01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 16: bit silly to be going at this guy.

There's obviously some sort of 1362 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 3: one of the parents must be Chinese or something like that. 1363 01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 3: And she is a part time model but also very 1364 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 3: good at what she's doing with the snow sports. And 1365 01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 3: the controversy is about the fact that she's already bloody 1366 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,480 Speaker 3: loaded because she's you know, she's got endorsements with brands 1367 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,040 Speaker 3: like Red Bull and Portion to Tiffany and stuff like that. 1368 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 3: But then when she's she shall we say defected?

Heather, what a load of nonsense. I'm on 1375 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,560 Speaker 3: X and I don't see any sick peek pictures or 1376 01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,840 Speaker 3: deep fakes here, the boycotting boycotting Elon, are you going 1377 01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,840 Speaker 3: to google next? But listen, I'm not. I haven't got 1378 01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:04,960 Speaker 3: an opinion one way or the other on whether you 1379 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,480 Speaker 3: should get rid of Twitter. I've already got rid of Twitter. 1380 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 3: I haven't got time for this crap in my life. 1381 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:10,360 Speaker 3: Why do you? 1382 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 2: How do you? 1383 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:11,600 Speaker 3: What are you doing? 1384 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 13: What? 1385 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,360 Speaker 3: Why are you on there? Anyway? I don't know. So 1386 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 3: I'm not saying you need to get yourself off it. 1387 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 3: I'm just saying, watch people start to bail off because 1388 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,360 Speaker 3: Elon Musk is not doing enough, and this is going 1389 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 3: to be the real problem. Like AI, I'm going a 1390 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 3: problem with AI at all. I love the AI, but 1391 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 3: the problem with the AI is what it can do 1392 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 3: to take your photograph and then turn you into a 1393 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 3: porno yah. And the problem with the with the Twitter 1394 01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 3: is they're doing it to children. So anyway, just saying, 1395 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:36,280 Speaker 3: just watch that controversy, it's going to be a thing. 1396 01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 3: Got the Food Fighter tickets today, Happy to tell you 1397 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,040 Speaker 3: two hundred dollars. Now you're going, how did you get 1398 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 3: Food Fighter tickets? It's because it was a Spark customer's 1399 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 3: pre sale, so that's how we got them. But anyway, 1400 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,720 Speaker 3: why I'm telling you this is two hundred dollars for 1401 01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,240 Speaker 3: the Foo Fighters. I think you'd pay it, wouldn't you? 1402 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 3: You go, yep, I'll pay two hundred dollars for the 1403 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 3: Foo Fighters.

But this is why I'm just going 1406 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 3: to bring you to a point that we made last 1407 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,640 Speaker 3: week on the show. Two hundred dollars for Sublime, which 1408 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 3: doesn't even have his lead singer, but the lead singer 1409 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 3: is basically a tribute band, isn't it. Two hundred dollars 1410 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 3: for Sublime out at Western Springs versus two hundred dollars 1411 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 3: for food. Oh, where we are Sublime out west and 1412 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,320 Speaker 3: the Foo fighters are at Western Springs. It's a no brainer. 1413 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 3: Two hundred dollars for Sublime way too expensive. Let's talk 1414 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 3: to consumer next. 1415 01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 2: Keeping track of where the money is flowing. 1416 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,400 Speaker 1: Of the Business hour with the head of Duplessy Allen 1417 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,640 Speaker 1: and Mas Insurance and Investments. 1418 01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 2: Your future is in good hands, U storks me. 1419 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 3: Even in coming up in the next hour Business Canterbury's 1420 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 3: boss has had lunch with the new Reserve Bank governor. 1421 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,440 Speaker 3: Will get her take on Anna Breman. After half past 1422 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 3: Barry Sober will wrap the political week that was, and 1423 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 3: we'll get the latest on Andrew mount Batten Windsor from 1424 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,720 Speaker 3: Gavin Gray. Closer to seven right now at a seven 1425 01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,800 Speaker 3: past six Now, as we predicted on this show, the 1426 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 3: government's done a U turn on its plan to ban 1427 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,439 Speaker 3: credit card charges. The Minister Scott Simpson is still saying 1428 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,200 Speaker 3: he hopes it will be enforced by May, but the 1429 01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 3: factor is the bill is stalled in Parliament. It would 1430 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 3: have stopped retailers charging for credit, debit and contactless payments. 1431 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:16,360 Speaker 3: Jessica Walker is Consumer New Zealand's campaign manager. Hi, Jessica, Hey, 1432 01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:18,960 Speaker 3: that I mean, how did do you think this sounds? 1433 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,640 Speaker 17: Where we are a bit concerned? To be honest, we're 1434 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 17: still hopeful. It's interesting that Minister Simpson is still talking 1435 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 17: about his hope that this will still come to pass 1436 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 17: in May, so the bund taking effect from then. But 1437 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 17: then obviously hearing other murmurs from the likes of Winston 1438 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 17: Peters and David Seymour, it's not looking great well. 1439 01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 3: I mean if it, I mean, he's obviously dreaming. If 1440 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 3: if something does happen in May, it would have to 1441 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 3: be best case scenario. I would have thought a compromise position, right, 1442 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:53,320 Speaker 3: so something along the lines of, yes, retailers, there can 1443 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,600 Speaker 3: be a ban on retailers or something. If there, I 1444 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 3: don't know, there would have to be an alternative, some 1445 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 3: sort of a compromise. What would a compromise look like 1446 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 3: that you'd be happy about? 1447 01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 17: From our perspective, it needs regulation. So at the moment 1448 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 17: there are guidelines. We say the guidelines aren't working because 1449 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 17: too many search charges are excessive or just not disclosed 1450 01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 17: or unavoidable. So there would need to be some really 1451 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 17: firm caps in place to stop consumers being ripped off, 1452 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 17: and there would need to be alternative payment methods so 1453 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,919 Speaker 17: that people have a real way to avoid that. Because 1454 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,880 Speaker 17: right now people say, oh, I could just pay cash 1455 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 17: or I could just pay f poss Our research shows 1456 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 17: that actually that's not always the case. In fact, for 1457 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,640 Speaker 17: in ten New Zealander say they think that they have 1458 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 17: been hit with a surcharge that they couldn't get around. 1459 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 17: There was no fee free option, and so. 1460 01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 3: How does that even happen? 1461 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 17: So it might be a business that doesn't take cash. 1462 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 17: We've even heard of people having to pay seurcharges when 1463 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,000 Speaker 17: they pay on f POS cards. Now that should never happen. 1464 01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,640 Speaker 3: So I would come across that. Have you come across it? 1465 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 17: Not me personally, but we have. We have had examples 1466 01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 17: of it, and more than once into We've got a 1467 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 17: Playfair in box that we monitor what people tell us 1468 01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 17: about their experiences. So we haven't verified, but we've definitely heard. 1469 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 3: I just think it sounds like nonsense. I mean, look, 1470 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 3: I think the most egregious cases of this, Jessica, are 1471 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,960 Speaker 3: we you absolutely like if you're paying a twenty five 1472 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 3: percent surcharge, which again I've never come across, but that 1473 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 3: would be outrageous. But would the most egregious cases not be. 1474 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 3: For example, will you go to pay your parking at 1475 01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 3: a parking media and it's a fifty cents charge when 1476 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 3: you're only paying for a couple of bucks, and that's ridiculous. 1477 01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,320 Speaker 17: Those flat fees are the ones that seem to hit 1478 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 17: them most people. But you know, on a weekly basis, 1479 01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 17: we're getting complaints of surcharges well above two and a 1480 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 17: half percent, so that the highest one so far this 1481 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,439 Speaker 17: month has been a three point nine percent. So these 1482 01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,280 Speaker 17: are out there and there happening more frequently than you 1483 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:48,920 Speaker 17: would think. 1484 01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 3: Hasn't that commas Quistion kept it? 1485 01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,679 Speaker 17: No, So it's supposed to reflect the cost of the business. 1486 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,400 Speaker 17: But what our argument has been all along is that's 1487 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,560 Speaker 17: not what's happening. In a lot of places. It is, 1488 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:04,880 Speaker 17: but not everywhere. And so if there is a cap 1489 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 17: put in place, which we would be on board with, 1490 01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 17: but it would need to be properly policed otherwise this 1491 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:10,959 Speaker 17: message just going to continue. 1492 01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,560 Speaker 3: Well, what was it that the Commerce Commission head, what 1493 01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 3: was the move that they'd made read search charges if 1494 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 3: it wasn't a cat. 1495 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 17: So there's guidelines. So the guidelines are that the cost 1496 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 17: should reflect what it costs the business, that it needs 1497 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:25,880 Speaker 17: to be transparent, so at the point of payment you 1498 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:27,600 Speaker 17: need to see what it's going to cost you and 1499 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,799 Speaker 17: it should be avoidable. So that this is the Commerce 1500 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,920 Speaker 17: Commission's guidelines. Okay, Now our argument is that they're not working. 1501 01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,120 Speaker 3: Okay. The thing about it is sure, it's not fair 1502 01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,160 Speaker 3: to have to pay the search charges, but nor is 1503 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,400 Speaker 3: it fear for us to lump that messive cost on 1504 01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 3: small retailers around this country. 1505 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 2: Is it? 1506 01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 17: We acknowledged this. We know it's hard for small businesses, 1507 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,800 Speaker 17: it's hard for consumers. I think a key piece of 1508 01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 17: information that's missing is that from December last year, cost 1509 01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 17: of businesses were reduced by ninety million dollars because of 1510 01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:02,519 Speaker 17: changes to the way that interchange works, and so we 1511 01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,640 Speaker 17: haven't heard of surcharges coming down. If anything, we know 1512 01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,040 Speaker 17: that people are still being caught out by these excessive 1513 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 17: and undisclosed surcharges. So I think that yes, some businesses 1514 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 17: might need to put the cost up to enable, you know, 1515 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 17: to be able to keep going. But in our eyes, 1516 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,800 Speaker 17: those cost increases should be in the realm of about 1517 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,800 Speaker 17: one to one and a half percent if they are 1518 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,040 Speaker 17: just recouping and covering their costs, and if their costs 1519 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,679 Speaker 17: them more than that than our advice is the businesses 1520 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 17: should also be shopping around for a better deal. 1521 01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair point. Hey, as always, Jessica really appreciate you 1522 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 3: talking to us. It's Jessica Walker, Consumer New Zealand's campaign manager. 1523 01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 3: This is what the ComCom said. Jessica's rited as guidelines, 1524 01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,800 Speaker 3: we would expect any search charges to be no more 1525 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 3: than zero points seven percent for contactless debit card payments 1526 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,160 Speaker 3: or one and a half to two percent for the 1527 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,600 Speaker 3: credit card payments. Many merchants only have one rate, so 1528 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 3: we consider any searcharge above two percent is hard to justify. 1529 01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:00,880 Speaker 3: Twelve past six killer dupless. Good news for you on 1530 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,599 Speaker 3: the interest rate front. Westpac is cutting its longer term 1531 01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,720 Speaker 3: home loan rates. They've announced that they're going it. This 1532 01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 3: is after the Anna Bremen decision, obviously to hold the 1533 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,200 Speaker 3: OC out. This week, they've announced they're going to drop 1534 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,280 Speaker 3: the three year fixed special rate by zero point one 1535 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:15,639 Speaker 3: six percent, so that's now sitting at four point nine 1536 01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:19,240 Speaker 3: to nine This apparently is the only sub five percent 1537 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,200 Speaker 3: advertised rate on that term amongst the five biggest banks 1538 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,759 Speaker 3: as of two o'clock this afternoon. West Pax also dropped 1539 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,320 Speaker 3: the four year and the five year fixed special rates, 1540 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 3: four years dropping by zero point two percent to sit 1541 01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,559 Speaker 3: at five point one to nine, and five years dropping 1542 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:35,920 Speaker 3: by zero point two percent to sit at five point 1543 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,439 Speaker 3: two nine. So there you go. At least those longer 1544 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,240 Speaker 3: term interst rates are coming back a little bit as well. 1545 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,920 Speaker 3: Scrap the political week that was next. It's thirteen past six. 1546 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupericy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1547 01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by newstalg ZEBI. 1548 01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 2: Approaching the numbers and getting the results. 1549 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,000 Speaker 1: It's Heather Duplessy Allen from the Business Hour with mass 1550 01:11:58,120 --> 01:11:59,440 Speaker 1: insurance and investments. 1551 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 2: You're few, just in good hands, used talks, I'd be Yeah. 1552 01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,640 Speaker 3: Today I paid five and a half thousand dollars on 1553 01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:07,799 Speaker 3: credit card and I got a seventy four dollars surcharge. 1554 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 3: All right, here's a question for you. Could you have 1555 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,880 Speaker 3: avoided it if you had paid in another way, like 1556 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,080 Speaker 3: if you paid with f boss or if you had 1557 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 3: paid with the bank transfer, would you have been stung 1558 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,680 Speaker 3: with the seventy four dollars surcharge nine two nine two 1559 01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 3: sixteen past six. Barry so Per, senior political correspondent, is 1560 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,879 Speaker 3: wrapping the political week that was Barry, welcome back. 1561 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,000 Speaker 8: Thank you, Heather. Nice to be here write that. 1562 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,240 Speaker 3: Infrastructure Commission thing. I mean, I feel a bit sorry 1563 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,479 Speaker 3: for them because they kind of they kind of made 1564 01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 3: themselves seem ridiculous by proposing a nine dollar toll on 1565 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,840 Speaker 3: the Harvard Bridge. You know, immediately it was just silly. 1566 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:42,639 Speaker 8: Well yeah, what they said was they pondered that figure, 1567 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:46,200 Speaker 8: so it wasn't a hard and fast figure. And you know, 1568 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 8: really the Auckland Harbor Bridge when it was initially built, 1569 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 8: had a toll on it, but it was nothing even 1570 01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 8: in those days, so nothing compared to what they're now 1571 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 8: suggesting that they should pay. And you know, really hard 1572 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 8: for nolts people coming across the old bridge having to pay. 1573 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 8: You know, we're probably talking nonsense because I don't think 1574 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,559 Speaker 8: nine dollars would ever come in. And I think any 1575 01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:14,320 Speaker 8: government that introduced a toll of nine dollars on a 1576 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 8: motorist coming across from the north Shore and returning at 1577 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,599 Speaker 8: night almost twenty bucks a day. 1578 01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,519 Speaker 3: On an asset that we've already paid a toll on 1579 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,920 Speaker 3: to fund the asset fund one, Yeah, to fund a 1580 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:28,799 Speaker 3: new one there is. I just don't think that anyone's 1581 01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:29,639 Speaker 3: going to think that's okay. 1582 01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,719 Speaker 8: No, I don't think it's hither and including the government. 1583 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,320 Speaker 8: I'm surprised they haven't really come out and said, look, 1584 01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 8: it's not not going to be anything like that. 1585 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,759 Speaker 3: Look, the point of what they were doing was actually 1586 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,360 Speaker 3: to just show us the scale of the problem that 1587 01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 3: we have. What are you reckons going to come out 1588 01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,280 Speaker 3: of this? Because my prediction is that we've gone, oh 1589 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 3: thanks very much for that report, and we're fathered on 1590 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,320 Speaker 3: a part of the internet where all the other reports 1591 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 3: go that we don't read or think about ever again. 1592 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, well you'll remember, you know, the Labor Party and 1593 01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,240 Speaker 8: its views on the Auckland Harbor Bridge, spending what fifty 1594 01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 8: million on studies and nothing happened. So you know, I 1595 01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,720 Speaker 8: think something will happen. I think you know that when 1596 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:07,439 Speaker 8: you look at the traffic volume, oh, there will be 1597 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:12,920 Speaker 8: another crossing, and you know how they're paying for it is, 1598 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 8: I guess the big question. But it will undoubtedly be told. 1599 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,080 Speaker 8: And I think you know, new Zealanders, even though they 1600 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 8: pay through their petrol attacks for the roads. You know, 1601 01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 8: when you've got a special road like this, then it's 1602 01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:29,000 Speaker 8: got to be paid for. 1603 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 3: What I mean is okay, cool, Yeah, we're going to 1604 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,559 Speaker 3: get another crossing in all cliffs. But it also suggested 1605 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 3: basically doubling the spend on health infrastructure. I don't think 1606 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,759 Speaker 3: that's going to happen. It suggested cutting the spending on roads. 1607 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,000 Speaker 3: That's not going to happen as no, no, no, it's 1608 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,559 Speaker 3: not no. I was actually thinking though that the eden 1609 01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,920 Speaker 3: Park thing is an example of exactly what they're saying 1610 01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:48,960 Speaker 3: we need to do, which is we have an asset, 1611 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,280 Speaker 3: and they're saying instead of going and building more, actually 1612 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,320 Speaker 3: think about using the asset you've got and how you 1613 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 3: use it right, which is loosen the rules, make more 1614 01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,599 Speaker 3: out of Eden Park so you don't need another stadium. 1615 01:14:59,760 --> 01:14:59,800 Speaker 2: No. 1616 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,640 Speaker 8: And it's such an excellent use of that stadium. And 1617 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,000 Speaker 8: we've been there many many times, and you know, it's 1618 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,360 Speaker 8: a wonderful stadium. And I take my hat off to 1619 01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,760 Speaker 8: Nexcell and I think he is the one person that's 1620 01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:19,880 Speaker 8: driven that stadium and has been innovative and how he 1621 01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,120 Speaker 8: seeds it being used, and you know it's not just 1622 01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:26,800 Speaker 8: a rugby stadium, even though it's recognized as our number 1623 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,920 Speaker 8: one stadium that you know, it's got the ability to 1624 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 8: host all sorts of things. In the fact they now 1625 01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,719 Speaker 8: can have twelve big concerts a year and twenty smaller 1626 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,720 Speaker 8: ones on any day of the week. They have to 1627 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 8: be closed by I think half past ten. But you 1628 01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,560 Speaker 8: know it's making good use of his facility. That's a 1629 01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:47,240 Speaker 8: wonderful one. 1630 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:51,080 Speaker 3: Now on Winston Peter's binding referendum on the Maldi set, 1631 01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 3: I know he is saying he wants this, but can 1632 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 3: you foresee any future in which after the election, Chris 1633 01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 3: Luckson goes, Yah, it's a great idea, let's do that. Well, 1634 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 3: you know, mom Berry, Look I'm saying yes to it. 1635 01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 8: Well, what once was trying to talk as or talk 1636 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:12,439 Speaker 8: as partners into is pulling, well pulling his legislation out 1637 01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,960 Speaker 8: of the biscuit and sticking it on the order paper 1638 01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:19,360 Speaker 8: and making it become a reality before this selection. No, no, 1639 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:21,640 Speaker 8: that is not going to happen. I totally agree with that. 1640 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:25,120 Speaker 8: But look, it's not a preposterous idea when you think 1641 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 8: about it. That John Key he was going to do 1642 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,880 Speaker 8: it until he decided he had used the Maldi Party 1643 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 8: under Tarianaturia as an insurance policy quite shrewdly, but so 1644 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,600 Speaker 8: that they backed away from it then. But when you 1645 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 8: think that the seats were only meant to be in 1646 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 8: place for five years and in eighteen seventy two they 1647 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:53,160 Speaker 8: tried to get them scrapped then and there wasn't a mood. 1648 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 3: To do it then, and now here we are you're 1649 01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,160 Speaker 3: preaching to the quiet fifteen years. I do think they 1650 01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,160 Speaker 3: need to be removed for a bunch of ress. But 1651 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 3: is Chris Luxen, who is the guy who has to 1652 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,879 Speaker 3: agree to it, going to say yes to Winston? 1653 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:06,600 Speaker 2: No? 1654 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:11,600 Speaker 8: I have my doubt, although no depends on how influential 1655 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 8: Winston is in the next government. 1656 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 3: This is true, he might he might have to say. 1657 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:20,519 Speaker 3: Bottom line here maybe Barry, Thanks very much, Barry Soper, 1658 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,160 Speaker 3: Senior political correspondent, Rapping the political week that was actually 1659 01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,000 Speaker 3: on the subject of Chris Luxe and let's talk about 1660 01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 3: him and his social media next six twenty one. 1661 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 2: Whether it's macro micro or just plain economics. 1662 01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,280 Speaker 1: It's all on the Business Hour with hand the duper 1663 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Sillen and mas insurance and investments. 1664 01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 2: Your futures in good hands. 1665 01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,880 Speaker 3: News talksby here that the King knew about his brother's 1666 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:45,799 Speaker 3: impending arrest long before the police turned up. That's from Pauline. 1667 01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,200 Speaker 3: Do you know what, I one hundred percent believe that 1668 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,519 Speaker 3: the official story is that the King wasn't alerted. I 1669 01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:52,519 Speaker 3: call BS on that. And the reason I call BS 1670 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 3: on that is because what's his name now? John Sopl, 1671 01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:00,479 Speaker 3: who's on LBC in the UK, was on a podcast 1672 01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,960 Speaker 3: this morning saying he'd actually heard about the arrest earlier 1673 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,439 Speaker 3: this week. Now, if John Sopl of LBC has heard 1674 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 3: about it earlier this week, King Charles of Sandringham has 1675 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:09,840 Speaker 3: heard it about it earlier this week, do you know 1676 01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 3: what I'm saying? So maybe he didn't know exactly when, 1677 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 3: but he knew it was going to happen anyway. I've 1678 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:18,839 Speaker 3: got to deal with this. Finally, Finally someone has addressed 1679 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,320 Speaker 3: the thing that's been bugging me, which is the question 1680 01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,320 Speaker 3: of why people hate the Prime Minister as much as 1681 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:25,560 Speaker 3: they do. I mean, I get if you sort of 1682 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,720 Speaker 3: like blur, I don't really you know, unfavorable rather than 1683 01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 3: favorable opinion that I understand, but the level of hatred 1684 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,160 Speaker 3: is just quite Unhinged Newsroom took a look at his 1685 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,920 Speaker 3: social media and has written a piece about it. The 1686 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,960 Speaker 3: piece is basically says across some of the prime Minister's 1687 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 3: been busy on social media and he's been inundated with 1688 01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 3: personalized negativity and reply, why does he provoke such a 1689 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:52,200 Speaker 3: strong reaction? The comments are disproportionately brutal, personal mocking and dismissive. 1690 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,160 Speaker 3: And then that provides some examples. In one video, He's 1691 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,920 Speaker 3: just it's an innocuous account of visiting a school with 1692 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,479 Speaker 3: a video of him high fiving kids two thousand plus 1693 01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,360 Speaker 3: responses including creep goes for a walk. Numerous others focused 1694 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:08,439 Speaker 3: on him being a bald, a humpty, on him being baled, 1695 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,240 Speaker 3: being a humpty dumpy, but a dumpty being the fat 1696 01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 3: controller from Thomas the Tank Engine, of bribing the kids 1697 01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 3: with lollies, of him needing security guards to mix with 1698 01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 3: school kids. One post, I hope the kids had spat 1699 01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,320 Speaker 3: on their own hands before high fiving. It turned darker 1700 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,719 Speaker 3: when numerous people said the kids should have slapped kicked 1701 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 3: in high five to his. 1702 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 2: For for it. 1703 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,680 Speaker 3: Anyway, I don't understand. I mean, I could go through 1704 01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,600 Speaker 3: screens of examples because newsrooms compiled them for us. I 1705 01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,640 Speaker 3: don't understand why people hate him so much. I mean, 1706 01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 3: and the article doesn't actually answer it. It sort of 1707 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 3: hints it in authenticity, which is possible, but man alive, 1708 01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,800 Speaker 3: it's a bit full on and I hope he's not 1709 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:46,639 Speaker 3: reading the comments. 1710 01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:50,719 Speaker 2: Six twenty six, There's no business like show business. 1711 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,000 Speaker 3: Spent seven years since the Game of Throne series ended. 1712 01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 3: Many fans hated it and said they had no further 1713 01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,479 Speaker 3: interest in anything to do with it, but apparently time 1714 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 3: hel wounds. On Monday, the season finale of Game of 1715 01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 3: Thrones is spin off A Night of Seven Kingdoms will air. 1716 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,479 Speaker 3: HBO has released the viewers the viewer numbers for the shows. 1717 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,920 Speaker 3: Thirteen million people are tuning into HBO Max every week 1718 01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:15,519 Speaker 3: to watch this new show. That makes it the third 1719 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:19,439 Speaker 3: biggest debut debut in the streaming service's history. And by 1720 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:21,840 Speaker 3: the way, it's one million more viewers a week than 1721 01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:24,519 Speaker 3: the Pit gets and the Pit is great. Even though 1722 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,719 Speaker 3: the show is wrapping up its first season, there's another 1723 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:28,600 Speaker 3: spin off, House of the Dragon, which is about to 1724 01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 3: return for what is set to be the biggest season yet. 1725 01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 3: Because they've dropped a little fiery look at season three 1726 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 3: today and mean it means fans don't have to wait 1727 01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 3: much longer. 1728 01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 2: You are a queen of druggles. You have the absolute 1729 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 2: power within your grasp. 1730 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,720 Speaker 3: Soon or late Renau will send her new drugon's head. 1731 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:56,720 Speaker 2: It would be the end. 1732 01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,559 Speaker 3: Apparently. I mean you could hear all the swords clinging 1733 01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 3: and stay and stuff, couldn't you. Apparently this is the 1734 01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,080 Speaker 3: one that the fans of the books have been waiting 1735 01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:08,320 Speaker 3: years for because of all the swords and clanging and 1736 01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,639 Speaker 3: stabbing sounds and stuff.

Or 1741 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:27,519 Speaker 3: you could watch the Pit. I'm not suggesting you should 1742 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 3: watch the Pit. I'm just saying that there are some 1743 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,640 Speaker 3: fans who are disappointed and would suggest maybe you know, 1744 01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:34,240 Speaker 3: I'm not that fan, but I'm just saying some people 1745 01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,920 Speaker 3: out there stittitution but hears, Yeah, you should watch the 1746 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 3: Pit instead. Apparently. Do you want me to read you 1747 01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:43,639 Speaker 3: more later of what they've said? About Chris Luxen because 1748 01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 3: the comments about his gum boots are pretty full on 1749 01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:47,960 Speaker 3: and quite funny as well. I might read you that. 1750 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,800 Speaker 3: But first we're going to go to Leanne Watson, Boss 1751 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,000 Speaker 3: of Business Canterbury, on what she made of the new 1752 01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:54,959 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank governor newstig ZB. 1753 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:12,240 Speaker 1: Everything from SMEs to the big corporates, the Business Hour 1754 01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 1: with Header Duper c Allen and mass insurance and investments, 1755 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:20,240 Speaker 1: your futures in good hands, used talks'd be it love? 1756 01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 3: Everybody hated just a little.

I think it's probably a 1759 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:35,720 Speaker 3: high risk move, but on balance I think he got 1760 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:37,800 Speaker 3: it right because what it showed was show has to 1761 01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 3: go on and I'm going to keep on doing the 1762 01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 3: stuff I'm supposed to do. But Gavin Gray will make 1763 01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 3: a call when he's with us in ten minutes time. 1764 01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 3: Right now, it's twenty four away from seven, So the 1765 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,800 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank Governor Anna Bremen's doing a tour of the 1766 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 3: country is part of a outreach program. On the tour 1767 01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,040 Speaker 3: was a lunch with business leaders in christ Church. Today 1768 01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,800 Speaker 3: now Business Canterbury hosted this lunch. The chief executive Leanne 1769 01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,920 Speaker 3: Watson is with us now Hilly Anne Hi Heather. The 1770 01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:01,479 Speaker 3: subject of her speech was inflation. 1771 01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 11: Was it. 1772 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,280 Speaker 12: Well, it was really just to give us a good 1773 01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 12: update and I guess to provide a little bit of 1774 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:10,720 Speaker 12: certainty for the businesses in the room who have been 1775 01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,679 Speaker 12: concerned about some of the timelines around o CR rises 1776 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,599 Speaker 12: with the markets and some banks expecting a rise later 1777 01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,760 Speaker 12: in the year. So, you know, she certainly gave a 1778 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,760 Speaker 12: good update. It was great to hear her talk about 1779 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:24,760 Speaker 12: core inflations tracking down, even though the headline inflation number 1780 01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,479 Speaker 12: is higher than what they're comfortable was. But overall, I 1781 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:31,479 Speaker 12: think businesses left feeling more confident after her address today, 1782 01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 12: which is great. 1783 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:32,280 Speaker 19: Yeah. 1784 01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,560 Speaker 3: Is it also the case that she told businesses not 1785 01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:36,879 Speaker 3: to jack up prices? Basically? 1786 01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 12: Sorry? He do you just cut out there? 1787 01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:39,800 Speaker 8: What was that? 1788 01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 3: Did she also warn the businesses in the room against 1789 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 3: hiking prices? 1790 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,080 Speaker 12: Look, she certainly indicated that there are a lot of 1791 01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:51,960 Speaker 12: factors that can contribute obviously to you know, further inflation growth, 1792 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,840 Speaker 12: and there was definitely a mention that you know, we 1793 01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,240 Speaker 12: need to be aware that if businesses jump to hiking 1794 01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,760 Speaker 12: up their prices then that may play part so as 1795 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 12: a balancing act. But what was really good to hear 1796 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,400 Speaker 12: also was that the Reserve Banker is taking more of 1797 01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:09,680 Speaker 12: a forward looking approach and focusing on the future rather 1798 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 12: than being reactive. You know, what we're looking for is 1799 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:17,360 Speaker 12: you know, low in stable interest rates, higher consumer confidence 1800 01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,559 Speaker 12: and a growing economy. That they are all the things 1801 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,880 Speaker 12: that the business community are looking for. And I think 1802 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 12: today they got some hope that under her new leadership, 1803 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,439 Speaker 12: we're going to be starting to track in that direction. 1804 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 12: So fingers crossed, Yeah, do. 1805 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 3: You think that there are peculiarities in the New Zealand 1806 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:34,640 Speaker 3: economy that she will have to acquaint to herself with 1807 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 3: in order to understand us completely. 1808 01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,519 Speaker 12: Oh, look, she seemed to have a pretty good you 1809 01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:43,160 Speaker 12: know understanding in the short space that she has been here. 1810 01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:46,719 Speaker 12: You know, she talked a lot about the different sectors 1811 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 12: across the country. She certainly knew about the all blacks. 1812 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:50,960 Speaker 7: That's a good start. 1813 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 12: So look, I think she you know, she's done a 1814 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 12: great job of you know, getting up to speed pretty quickly. 1815 01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,720 Speaker 12: She knew a lot about Canterbury. She knew, you know, 1816 01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:02,600 Speaker 12: we Canterbury are up to obviously, We've got wind in 1817 01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:05,000 Speaker 12: our sales right now, particularly in Canterbury, and we can't 1818 01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 12: afford to lose it right now when we're starting to 1819 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 12: really finally see business confidence translate into sales and growth. So, 1820 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:15,000 Speaker 12: you know, keeping inflation down low is absolutely critical for 1821 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:16,760 Speaker 12: the future, and I think she, you know, she took 1822 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,559 Speaker 12: that message away and as I say, the business community 1823 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,519 Speaker 12: were feeling pretty confident and just I guess a little 1824 01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,760 Speaker 12: more clear around some of the future direction thinking of 1825 01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 12: the Reserve Bank governor and also just I guess seeking 1826 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,280 Speaker 12: that stability and that certainty as much as what we. 1827 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,920 Speaker 3: Can strikes me as pretty straight up and down. What 1828 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:35,720 Speaker 3: did you make of her? 1829 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 2: Very much? 1830 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:41,640 Speaker 12: So, I think, you know that she really resonated with 1831 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,679 Speaker 12: the audience. A lot of positive feedback around her genuinely 1832 01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:49,360 Speaker 12: wanting to understand, you know, the New Zealand economy, the 1833 01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 12: regional economy in Canterbury, and very relatable. That was sort 1834 01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:56,280 Speaker 12: of some of the key messages, very relatable down to earth, 1835 01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 12: you know, to what you know can be a complex 1836 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 12: subject into something that everyone in the understood.

Hello, Gavin. How much of 1894 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 3: a crisis is this for the royal family? 1895 01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:41,880 Speaker 2: Massive? 1896 01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 13: Massive? 1897 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,720 Speaker 18: I think that King Charles, who of course waited so 1898 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,720 Speaker 18: long to accede to the throne, really faces his entire 1899 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,880 Speaker 18: rain now being overshadowed by his younger brother and this 1900 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:55,720 Speaker 18: is not going to happen and there will be no 1901 01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:59,000 Speaker 18: decisions made very quickly. This isn't about anything to do 1902 01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:02,639 Speaker 18: with when in and allegations of sexual assault or rape 1903 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:05,640 Speaker 18: or whatever. This is to do with the fact that 1904 01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:10,160 Speaker 18: Andrew is alleged to have given documents that were secret 1905 01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:15,000 Speaker 18: to Jeffrey Epstein and Jeffrey Obstein therefore was able to 1906 01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,440 Speaker 18: tell people in the right places what was in these documents, 1907 01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:21,680 Speaker 18: knowing that they were yet to be announced. So in particular, 1908 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:26,920 Speaker 18: we believe Andrew went on a government funded trip to 1909 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 18: Asia in November twenty ten, was sent a series of 1910 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,920 Speaker 18: reports about the countries he was visiting relating to his trips. 1911 01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:38,120 Speaker 18: They were confidential, and within five minutes of receiving them 1912 01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:42,240 Speaker 18: he is apparently has forwarded them to Jeffrey Epstein that 1913 01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:45,639 Speaker 18: at that point Epstein had already been convicted and spent 1914 01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:49,759 Speaker 18: time in prison for sex offenses. On another occasion, Andrew 1915 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:53,439 Speaker 18: was privy to documents about the investment opportunities in the 1916 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:57,920 Speaker 18: reconstruction of Hellman Province Afghanistan, if you remember, that was 1917 01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,719 Speaker 18: the province overseen at the time by British armed forces. 1918 01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:03,680 Speaker 18: They were going to fund the government here was going 1919 01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:08,680 Speaker 18: to fund reconstruction, and it appears that he forwarded that 1920 01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 18: email to Jeffrey Epstein. Now Andrew denies any wrongdoing, Heather, 1921 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,600 Speaker 18: but things are stacking up and there are six or 1922 01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:21,280 Speaker 18: more police services here in the UK, all investigating things 1923 01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,599 Speaker 18: relating to Epstein. How many of them will involve Andrew. 1924 01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:25,519 Speaker 18: We wait to find out. 1925 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:26,519 Speaker 3: So where's Ferdie? 1926 01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:33,400 Speaker 18: Completely disappeared, as have the children, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. 1927 01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:37,920 Speaker 18: We believe that Sarah Ferguson, Andrew's ex wife, is in 1928 01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:42,680 Speaker 18: the Middle East. Apparently she's telling friends she is penniless 1929 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,360 Speaker 18: and needs something to do to earn some money. Well, 1930 01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,600 Speaker 18: everyone seems to be keeping her at arm's length. I 1931 01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:51,280 Speaker 18: dare say she's gone there, but probably to see friends. 1932 01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,760 Speaker 18: She does have a sibling as well, but yeah, it 1933 01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:56,200 Speaker 18: looks like they're out in the cold. 1934 01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:58,400 Speaker 13: And a rumor circulating heather. 1935 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:04,400 Speaker 18: Only, a rumor that Prince William and Princess Kate are thinking, actually, 1936 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,640 Speaker 18: do you know what, The whole family needs to be 1937 01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:10,679 Speaker 18: cut away, The whole of Prince Andrew, as was his family, 1938 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:13,360 Speaker 18: needs to be cut away from the future of the monarchy. 1939 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:15,920 Speaker 18: That may resonate with the king. What the King is 1940 01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:19,200 Speaker 18: desperately trying to do is to say, yes, we are 1941 01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:22,960 Speaker 18: in a family, but we also are the monarchy, and 1942 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 18: they are two separate things. The monarchy will continue to 1943 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:30,080 Speaker 18: carry out engagements and to serve the country family well 1944 01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:31,800 Speaker 18: you can't choose your relatives sort of thing. 1945 01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:33,840 Speaker 13: But how successfully it will be I don't know. 1946 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:35,800 Speaker 3: Do you think the King did the right thing by 1947 01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 3: sitting at the front row of the fashion Week. 1948 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,840 Speaker 18: I think it would have been really tempting for him 1949 01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:46,560 Speaker 18: and Camilla. Yesterday Queen camella to say we are not 1950 01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:50,439 Speaker 18: doing any engagements because of what's going on. But I 1951 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 18: think they wanted to show that it's business as usual. 1952 01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,880 Speaker 18: I know business seems a funny word to use, but 1953 01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,200 Speaker 18: you know, it was Prince Philip who described the Royal 1954 01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,599 Speaker 18: family as the firm, and I think he thought I've 1955 01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:04,599 Speaker 18: got to be seen, and to be honest, it did 1956 01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:07,080 Speaker 18: show he was out there. He didn't obviously respond to 1957 01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:11,000 Speaker 18: any questions. But just like the last few official engagements, he's. 1958 01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:11,519 Speaker 13: Gone on Heather. 1959 01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 18: As he's got out of the car, as he's got 1960 01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:17,200 Speaker 18: back into the car, people have shouted at him. 1961 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:20,040 Speaker 13: They've shouted things like, what did you know about Andrew? 1962 01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:21,679 Speaker 13: What do you think of his arrest? 1963 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:25,479 Speaker 18: It was yesterday and that is so detrimental to what 1964 01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:29,160 Speaker 18: the royal stand for, and of course that it remains 1965 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,680 Speaker 18: to be seen what this does to the support for 1966 01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:34,320 Speaker 18: the Royal family, for people in the UK, but not 1967 01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:39,680 Speaker 18: just that. Also, almost more importantly, there's the support that 1968 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:41,759 Speaker 18: they have in the Commonwealth countries. 1969 01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:45,000 Speaker 3: Now, why is it that the UK said to Trump, no, 1970 01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:46,559 Speaker 3: you cannot use the air bases. 1971 01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 18: Well, I don't know, but it's really annoyed Donald Trump. So, 1972 01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,640 Speaker 18: as we know, widely rumored there's going to be some 1973 01:32:55,880 --> 01:33:01,519 Speaker 18: kind of action against Iran and hasn't been specified yet, 1974 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 18: but it keeps being threatened. And to do that, to 1975 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:09,880 Speaker 18: launch that will require air strikes. And it is thought 1976 01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:14,880 Speaker 18: that Donald Trump is lining up a British air base 1977 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,439 Speaker 18: called Diego Garcia and that is part of the Chagos 1978 01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:22,800 Speaker 18: Islands near Mauritius, and also wanted to use an air 1979 01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:25,920 Speaker 18: Force base in Gloucestershire, which is in the west of England. 1980 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:30,920 Speaker 18: Now it's being reported that Sekir Starmer said, hmm, actually, no, 1981 01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:34,280 Speaker 18: we don't want you using those bases, and we're going 1982 01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 18: to deny you permission to use flights in and out 1983 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,840 Speaker 18: of them. Now, some would say, well, good because that 1984 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:44,040 Speaker 18: will protect us from any feedback and any retribution that 1985 01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:45,439 Speaker 18: Iran might be plotting. 1986 01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:48,519 Speaker 13: Others are saying, no, you know, we've got to support America. 1987 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:50,160 Speaker 13: We're in this together. Sort of thing. 1988 01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:53,639 Speaker 18: We've been in it together over Islamic state and so forth. 1989 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,800 Speaker 18: But apparently Donald Trump absolutely furious at Sekre Starma, the 1990 01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:03,000 Speaker 18: Prime Minister's reaction, and that's apparently why he turned around 1991 01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 18: yesterday and once again flip flopped on his opinion of 1992 01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:10,800 Speaker 18: this deal that the UK has struck with Mauritius over 1993 01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:12,960 Speaker 18: the future of the Chacos Islands. 1994 01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,360 Speaker 3: Interesting, okay, Now what's happened to the state broadcaster in 1995 01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:16,719 Speaker 3: Italy in the Winter Olympics. 1996 01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,839 Speaker 18: Oh well, if you get the chance to have a listening, 1997 01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:25,639 Speaker 18: you should. So it was a moment of massive national 1998 01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 18: pride when the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics opened and the opening. 1999 01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,479 Speaker 13: Ceremony was a glitzy affair. 2000 01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,920 Speaker 18: The state broadcaster RYE had the commentary from Paula Portrecia. 2001 01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:39,960 Speaker 18: Now he is the head of sport with RYE Sport, 2002 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:43,400 Speaker 18: and a nine point two million viewers switched on eagerly 2003 01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:48,480 Speaker 18: to see what was being said. Sadly, for Paolo Patricia, 2004 01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:53,480 Speaker 18: the commentary was an embarrassment. It was littered with mistakes, 2005 01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:56,799 Speaker 18: factual errors and embarrassing gaffes. 2006 01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:58,400 Speaker 13: Now, to be fair to. 2007 01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:00,720 Speaker 18: Him, he had been a last minute stand in the 2008 01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:05,639 Speaker 18: original commentator dropped because he'd accidentally revealed a sensational surprise 2009 01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:10,160 Speaker 18: element of the ceremony by mistake in step, poor mister Patreccia. 2010 01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:13,600 Speaker 18: And I'm afraid it's one mistake after another. In the 2011 01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 18: very opening seconds he says the wrong stadia that they 2012 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:24,080 Speaker 18: are currently in. After that he then misidentifies Italian athletes 2013 01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:27,200 Speaker 18: in their sport, and I'm afraid the list goes on 2014 01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:29,880 Speaker 18: and on. If you know what you're watching, it's really 2015 01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:30,639 Speaker 18: quite amusing. 2016 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:33,960 Speaker 13: Not for him, of course. And one last point. 2017 01:35:34,320 --> 01:35:39,200 Speaker 18: It was so bad that journalists at the television station 2018 01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:43,000 Speaker 18: temporarily went on strike, saying he'd brought so much humility 2019 01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,320 Speaker 18: on them and so much embarrassment that they wanted nothing 2020 01:35:46,400 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 18: to do with it. 2021 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:49,519 Speaker 3: Unbelievable, Devin, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Gevin Gray 2022 01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,280 Speaker 3: are UK correspondent. Hither it's great to have a Reserve 2023 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,640 Speaker 3: Bank governor who can focus on the economy rather than 2024 01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,880 Speaker 3: comparing the Reserve Bank to Tanemahuta. I forgot about that. 2025 01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 3: Adrian all thought he was a tree for a minute, 2026 01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:04,720 Speaker 3: a hot minute. Hey give her time. You don't know, 2027 01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 3: I mean at the moment she's talking inflation, but you know, 2028 01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:10,840 Speaker 3: or is that our judgment? She might get sucked into 2029 01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:13,439 Speaker 3: this Wellington after all, that might pollute her brain and 2030 01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:15,519 Speaker 3: make her think she's a tree too. Eight away from seven, 2031 01:36:16,640 --> 01:36:17,000 Speaker 3: it's the. 2032 01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 1: Heather too for see Alan Drive Full Show podcast on 2033 01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:22,760 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by newstalg zeb. 2034 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,639 Speaker 3: Five away from seven. I do think there's a part 2035 01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:30,840 Speaker 3: of me that feels ever so slightly sorry for Andrew 2036 01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:32,640 Speaker 3: that he was arrested and then spent the day in 2037 01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:34,880 Speaker 3: the cop shop on his birthday. That does rather suck, 2038 01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:40,400 Speaker 3: doesn't it? Apparently? But only slightly sorry? I should clarify now, 2039 01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:43,479 Speaker 3: Apparently play. We know that play is good for kids, 2040 01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:45,880 Speaker 3: but apparently play is also really good for adults and 2041 01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,960 Speaker 3: lifts well being and reduces stress. I'm telling you this 2042 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,800 Speaker 3: because there's some research that's out about it which shows 2043 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,519 Speaker 3: that adults who engage in playful activities tend to cope 2044 01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:58,479 Speaker 3: better with stress, experience more positive emotions, show greater resilience 2045 01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:02,360 Speaker 3: when facing challenges, and report higher levels of life satisfaction. Now, 2046 01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:04,800 Speaker 3: before you go thinking on I can't bother going out 2047 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,080 Speaker 3: and digging out my kids toys and playing with it. 2048 01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:09,280 Speaker 3: It's not that because obviously we're adults we don't do that. 2049 01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:12,759 Speaker 3: But it's things like having silly chats with your friends, 2050 01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:18,040 Speaker 3: maybe listening to music, going and seeing music, telling some yarns, 2051 01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:19,640 Speaker 3: doing things that you enjoyed just for the sake of 2052 01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:22,000 Speaker 3: doing them and no other reason, like surfing, golfing, whatever 2053 01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:24,080 Speaker 3: it is that you do. I'm telling you that just 2054 01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:26,720 Speaker 3: so that if you ever feel guilty because it's appearance thing, 2055 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,240 Speaker 3: you feel guilty, you think, Oh, I don't have time 2056 01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,040 Speaker 3: for that. I've got to do blah blah whatever else. 2057 01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,320 Speaker 3: It's important do something for you. 2058 01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:37,439 Speaker 7: And bad Lands by Mumford and Sons to play us 2059 01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,760 Speaker 7: out tonight.
