1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 2: It's Heather Duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand to 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 2: coverage like no one else. 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: News Talks have be. 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 3: Afternoon. Welcome to the show. Coming up today, Jared kurb 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 3: Kiwibank on the OCR, the Queenstown Airport guys on being 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 3: the best big airport in the country, and the rugby 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 3: boss on banning his players from going to the Saudi 9 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 3: Rebel League. 10 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: Heather Duplessy Ellen, good news. 11 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 3: The Reserve Bank has finally done the thing many of 12 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 3: us thought was necessary, and they've gone for a double 13 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 3: cut in the OCR of fifty basis points. That's the 14 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 3: good news. The bad news is that they've been forced 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: to do it because they didn't do it earlier, as in, 16 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 3: they haven't cut as quickly as they should have. I mean, 17 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 3: think back to July and they actually chose not to 18 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: cut at all, which was clearly a mistake at the time, 19 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 3: but became even more of a mistake when we saw 20 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: the shock GDP number that followed, and that we saw 21 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: that in the three months before that decision, the economy 22 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: had actually contracted by a whopping zero point nine percent 23 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: in the Reserve Bank hadn't really noticed at all. And 24 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: the bad news, I suppose again is that they could 25 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 3: have cut a double cut last time, when two of 26 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: them on the Monetary Policy statement said we should go 27 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 3: double cut, but more of them said, now, let's just 28 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 3: go with a single cut. So they've gone with a 29 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: double cut today, vindication for two. It would seem we're 30 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: going to stick to the good news, though, which is 31 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: that finally the Reserve Bank has caught up with the 32 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 3: rest of us. The economy is cooked and we need 33 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 3: to do something, so they have delivered it. They admit 34 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: that this is a signal. The signal is it's okay 35 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 3: to go out and spend and invest because they've realized 36 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 3: finally that people are freaked out. Right, there have been 37 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: too many predictions of green shoots just before the economy 38 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: falls again, which freaked people out. There have been too 39 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: many bad surprises which freak people out. Business confidence is shot. 40 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: Look at the qbso yesterday. Consumer confidence is also yet 41 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: slightly increasing, but still really negative. People are holding onto 42 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: their money, they're saving instead of spending, They're worrying instead 43 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: of investing. This cut is a circuit breaker that's supposed 44 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: to snap us out of a fair our fear. Now, 45 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: there are some who worry that we are actually already 46 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: so freaked out that even this cut, given how big 47 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: it is, could spook us all over again. It's possible, 48 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: maybe it would happen, but I think what's more likely 49 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 3: is that it's going to give the assurance that people need, 50 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: and the assurances that the people in charge of the 51 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: economy actually realize how bad things are and are prepared 52 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: to be bold. And finally, they are prepared to be bold. 53 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, it's better late than never 54 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: together do for c Allen. N nine two is the 55 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: text number. Standard text fees apply. Now, there are concerns 56 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: that that bribery scandal at the Auckland VT and Z 57 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: could reveal wider issues. Investigators have found testing officers were 58 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: accepting payments to pass practical exams, which resulted in over 59 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: three hundred people having to retake their licenses and five 60 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: staff being sacked. Now, Julie Haggee is Transparency International's executive 61 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: direct down with us. Now, Hey, Julie, Hi, there are 62 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 3: you surprised by this or is this the kind of 63 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 3: thing that you already expected was happening out there? 64 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 4: We've already seen a couple of cases. There's one back 65 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 4: in twenty eighteen exactly the same kind end of the 66 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 4: but with a A. So we have seen that and 67 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 4: we've seen it other types of licensing. This is a 68 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 4: lot of areas where licensing transfers down from a government 69 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 4: through a law to a government department, then out to 70 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: a private company or whatever, or a professional and so 71 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 4: you have seen instances of cases going and building inspections 72 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: and professional other professional types of licensing. So it's it's 73 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 4: not unusual. What's what What you want to know, There's 74 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 4: two things. There's fairness transparency and this safety isn't there 75 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 4: really the cooreness core elements of it. So you want 76 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: to know that the agency responsible for doing the contracting 77 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 4: out which is or they're doing the license providing the license, 78 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 4: which is n z t A I presume has got 79 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: sufficient systems to be able to monitor they put in 80 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 4: place some expectations with the with the licensing agent of 81 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 4: ETNZ in this case ra A A and that they've 82 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 4: then that they're checking that and they've got checking mechanism 83 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 4: and that that then then the licensing the agents is 84 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 4: doing the same and you know and so on, so 85 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 4: that that that gives you some confidence that you're not 86 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: putting people who are incapable of driving, you know, two 87 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 4: thousand kilogram piece of metal und kilometers an hour on 88 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 4: the motorway. I mean it is a there is a 89 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 4: safety and risk issue in this one. It's quite serious 90 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 4: as well as the fairness, as everybody else sitting their 91 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: licenses wants it has to do it and they want 92 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 4: to know that that that nobody else is getting off 93 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 4: cheaply or unfairly. 94 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: How would like these have come to light? If it's 95 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: been going on for years undetected, how do you suddenly detect? 96 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: It be interesting to see because I mean, I hasn't 97 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: I mean, just just a note. There's been allegations of 98 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: bribery and people have been laid off, so I'm presuming 99 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: there might be a police investigation to follow them, and 100 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 4: then I would hope something like the Order to General 101 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 4: might have a look at the processes that occur between 102 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: those organizations to make sure that there's proper there's proper 103 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 4: revelation of the things happening. But we don't know. It 104 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 4: could have been a whistleblower, It could have been an 105 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 4: odd thing coming up could have been somebody dubbed them in, 106 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: so you don't know, and something like that where it's 107 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: a one to one unless you've got some chicking mechanism 108 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 4: like you might have. Whether they've got numbers of unusual 109 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 4: license behavior, you might have that, or you might have 110 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 4: you might have a conflict of interest decorations that they'd 111 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: be interesting to see if they did that, because you know, 112 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 4: that's an area that seems to have seems to be 113 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 4: an allegation of collusion in this case, as there was 114 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 4: in the twenty eighteen case as well, and so you 115 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 4: wonder about the behavior and the training and the culture 116 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: that was existing and whether any of those things had 117 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: an impact on people feeling like I can get away 118 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 4: with it. Yeah, and they have felt they've got they 119 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 4: could get away with and make profit out of it. 120 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: So that's what it seems to it allegations, but that's 121 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 4: what it seems to be the case. 122 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 3: Do you believe that's them? Do you believe our global 123 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: ranking which puts US at fourth for anti corruption? Yeah, well, it. 124 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 4: Does put us at forth fred ruption, and that's because 125 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 4: compared compared to other countries, there's a lot of good 126 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: things going on in New Zealand that aren't going on 127 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 4: in other countries. It is largely about public sector and 128 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 4: political integrity that corruption perceptions index, not about the private sector. 129 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 4: So that that is one thing. We do have corruption 130 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: in New Zealand just like everyone else has, and we're 131 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 4: slipping and these systems of integrity are what pull you 132 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: back and get you higher up. So this is another evident, 133 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 4: another sort of example of where systems that should be 134 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 4: traveling down the chain system as of integrity, you know, 135 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 4: the expectations of correct behavior, the checking, the monitoring, the 136 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 4: investigations when they cure good whistleblowing processes. Are they in place, 137 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 4: because if they're not further down the chain, then that's 138 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: just going to further erode people's trust in the whole system. 139 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: Very good point. Hey, thank you very much, surely, Julie Haggie, 140 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 3: Transparency International's executive director here in New Zealand. Hey, the 141 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: Danes have announced that they're going to ban social media 142 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: as well.

Prime Minister there has announced it has 144 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: cited some figures for boys who are between the ages 145 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: of eleven to nineteen. So I get what would you 146 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: call that? Intermediate through to high school? She reckons sixty 147 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 3: percent of those boys intermediate through high school do not 148 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: see a single friend in their free time. They're all 149 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: just busy playing on the mobile phones. She says, we've 150 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: unleashed a monster. Never before have so many children and 151 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: young people suffered from anxiety and depression. On screens, they 152 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: see things no child or young person should see. Mobile 153 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: phones and social media are stealing our children's childhood and 154 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: they could do this, they reckon, hopefully as early as 155 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 3: next year. 156 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: Quarter past it's the Heather Topers Alan Drive Full Show 157 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News talksp. 158 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: Are not a great poll for the National Party out 159 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: today at all, So I'm going to run you through 160 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: that shortly seventeen past four, who won board. 161 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: With a tab? 162 00:07:59,280 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 5: App? 163 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: Get your better on responsibility? 164 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 3: You can't take you anywhere. 165 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: Darcy, who won the poll? 166 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 6: Do you have a winner? 167 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 7: Oh? 168 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: You're so lame.

Do you look 175 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: at the rugby bosses coming out and saying to the players, 176 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: if you go to the Rebel League, you can't play 177 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: the black jersey. Do you see that as a sign 178 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: that they're worried about the Rebel League? 179 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, they should be. 180 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 8: Why they should be because this is backed by Saudi money. 181 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 8: They've got a lot of money. They don't care about profit, 182 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 8: they don't care about what they're going to make. They're 183 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 8: about diversifying away from oil, which has only got a 184 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 8: set amount of time before it disappears, regardless of what 185 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 8: some politicians over here think, it's going to go on forever. 186 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 8: I've got to stop this or get away from that. 187 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 8: But they're looking at sport because this is a wonderful 188 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 8: conduit to the human race and they're flying into it. 189 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 8: So they don't care to make any money and if 190 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 8: they throw enough money at people, they'll change. So world rugby, 191 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 8: you've gone, oh, hold on, this is a game changer. 192 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 8: We've got to say now, if you sign with this league, 193 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 8: you're not playing internationa rugby. Because they're freaked out. But 194 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 8: I like the way it's an upsetter in global rugby, 195 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 8: really do. 196 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: I love it, But there are serious questions and reasonable 197 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 3: questions as to whether it would work or not. Because 198 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: if you're basically doing what the World sevens are doing, 199 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 3: but you're doing World fifteens, are people going to turn 200 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 3: out and watch it? Is that a sustainable format? 201 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 6: Right? 202 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: But what this move indicates is they may well think 203 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: it is a sustainable format World Rugby. 204 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 8: They are worried because they don't want to lose the cream, 205 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 8: and the best way they can stop the cream being 206 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 8: whipped off the top is by mind does no, But 207 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 8: they've got I'm led to believe the Herald understands. We 208 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 8: understand that there are a number of players weighing this up, 209 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 8: and they've got and they've got to be done kind 210 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 8: of fly November rest are the thing. So it's coming 211 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 8: rapidly toward the end of that. So World Rugby have gone, okay, look, 212 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 8: we need to draw on sand and we need to 213 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 8: get very soon to stop players, to discourage players. 214 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 3: I mean, isn't it just gonna what it'll mean? Is 215 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: it the Aaron Smiths of the world, instead of heading 216 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: off to Japan, will head off to Saudi money, like please, 217 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: he's not going to stop everybody. 218 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 9: No. 219 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 3: But also, and this drag on our players away for 220 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: money is already happening. 221 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 8: There's a couple of aspects to this that I don't 222 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 8: think people quite understand, and one of those is the 223 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 8: player safety and how the players are affected by this, 224 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 8: and what guarantees are in place for the players around 225 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 8: what they do, how much they play, how long the contracts. 226 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 10: For they are. 227 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 8: That's why all these rugby boards there's eight of them now, 228 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 8: have said, you know, show extreme caution because they simply 229 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 8: don't know what the future holds. I don't know, So like, 230 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 8: if you're an Aran Smith here and older player, you're 231 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 8: not going to go any further. You've done everything you 232 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 8: need to do and there's a chance to make a 233 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 8: couple of million. Because people were talking big money. Yeah, 234 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 8: big money, maybe you just go you know what, I 235 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 8: don't care if it doesn't give me a sign on 236 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 8: fee and I'll run. So you're losing that in Maybe 237 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 8: some of the younger players who figure I'm not going 238 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 8: to get an all black jerzy anyway, so I'm going 239 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 8: to go and cash but Lester when he disappeared off 240 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 8: to France. Yeah, still really young. But if I might 241 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 8: have a chance, so I'll go and do it anyway. 242 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 8: You come back, he's back in the side again. But 243 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 8: if the rugby teams or nations concern say absolutely not, 244 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 8: that does stop that in its track. And it seems 245 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 8: to be very light on detail. Might be three sixty 246 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 8: A lot of bluster, a lot of we got this, 247 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 8: we're gonna do this, We're gonna do but not a 248 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 8: lot of detail. And I think you've got to be 249 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 8: aware of lack of detail from these moneyed overloads. 250 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, very interesting. Are you talking about this on the show. 251 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, Rob Nichol's going to join US Rugby Players Association CEO. 252 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 8: You think you'd know a few things. 253 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 9: Yep. 254 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: Listen to half past five with me, because I'm gonna 255 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 3: talk to Mark Robinson, rugby boss.

It's Heather dup Clan 260 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: drive with one New Zealand Hands of power of satellite 261 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: mobile news talks. 262 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: They'd be hither the golf oil sheeks have already taken 263 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 3: over boxing golf. If one team's European football teams, et cetera, 264 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 3: money talks, world rugby can kick and screen, but the 265 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: players will go with the money is I actually agree, 266 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: and you know what, even more so than what Peter 267 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: has just said, I actually think it's good for rugby 268 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: because these guys will do what's good for the game. 269 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 3: Rug World rugby is not doing what's good for the game. 270 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: They've got dumb rules. These guys will change the rules 271 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: for their league to make it good for the game, 272 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: and I think it might actually improve the whole situation 273 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 3: and put a little fire up world rugbies. But anyway, 274 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 3: the pole, I'll tell you what people are National today 275 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 3: who looked at that and went, oh lord. National's results 276 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 3: start with the two twenty nine point six. Now you 277 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 3: could be generous, you could round that up to thirty, 278 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: but let's just see it for what it is. Twenty 279 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 3: nine point six not good at all. They've come back 280 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 3: three point five percent. Labour's now the biggest party, also 281 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: down two point six percent. They're sitting on thirty one 282 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: point two, the Greens twelve percent. They're up New Zealand 283 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: first ten point six percent, they're up two point five 284 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 3: that basically, I mean, hoovered up most of what the 285 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: Nats have dropped. Act Is on six point six percent, 286 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: they've gone up marginale and the Marti Parties on four 287 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: point four percent gone up marginally. I think this is 288 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: the first pole result that we've seen since the shock 289 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 3: GDP number came out, which I think is reflecting that 290 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: people are losing confidence in national being able to run 291 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: the economy. We'll talk to Barry Soaper about it shortly. 292 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 3: Also Jordan Williams, who's put out this pole with Taxpa's 293 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 3: Curier pole.

We just get the straight 341 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: Willy is okay. Hey has got some mental ass ideas, 342 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: like some of them are so cooked you don't want 343 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 3: to go there. But I still like him, so welcome back. 344 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: No my height, am I Willie Jackson. 345 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: Whatever? Cutting through the noise to get the facts. 346 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: It's Heather duplicy Ellen Drive with one New Zealand coverage 347 00:15:49,600 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: like no one else News Talk said, be. 348 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 10: Yeah. 349 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 3: The Sign of Breckers was rolled on twenty nine, just saying, 350 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: which is I suppose a fair point. Ben Thomas, former 351 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 3: National Party staffer and political commentator, will bear us ten 352 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: past five to talk us through whether history might repeat. 353 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 3: I'm I'm gonna put my money on no at the moment, 354 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 3: but you never know. By the way it sounds absolutely, 355 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 3: just because we're dealing with a bit of sport at 356 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: the moment sounds absolutely brutal. At the ATP Masters in Shanghai, 357 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: Novak Djokovic collapsed on court yesterday, and this was after 358 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 3: he vomited on Sunday, and it's after Ganick Sinner retired 359 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 3: due to cramps because of the heat, who fell on 360 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: his back and then he got himself finally into the 361 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: sitting position, put his head between his legs and had 362 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 3: to be taken back to the chair and give him 363 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 3: medical treatment, and then of course went on to win. 364 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 3: But the problem is that that, and this is a 365 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: debate tennis is having at the moment, is how hot 366 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 3: is too hot to play tennis because the temperature is 367 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: around about thirty degrees, which actually isn't really that hot, 368 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: But the problem is the humidity, which is hovering around 369 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: eighty percent. So they're gonna have to answer that question 370 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 3: because not the first time this has happened. Barry Soper, 371 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 3: by the way, on the pole in ten minutes time, 372 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: twenty four away from five, it's. 373 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: The world wires on youth talks, it'd be drive. 374 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 3: Donald Trump met with the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney 375 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 3: to talk tariffs and had plenty of nice things to say. 376 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 8: He's a nice man, but he could be nasty. He 377 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 8: could be very nasty, maybe as nasty as anybody. He's 378 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 8: a good man, he does a great job, but he's 379 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 8: a tough negotiate him. 380 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 3: But when asked why he can't do a deal with 381 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 3: the great man, Trump had this to say, because I 382 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 3: want to be a great man too. Over five hundred 383 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: hikers who were trapped on Mount Everest and the blizzard 384 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: have been rescued. The snowstorm came at the peak season 385 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 3: for local tourism. This American hiker described the scenes. 386 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 8: All night long, there was just thunder and lightning right 387 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 8: on top of us, and the rain turned to snow. 388 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: We're glad that we turned around when we did. 389 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 3: And finally, Hello, I'm Bob Rusk. Gosh, that's the music 390 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 3: of a time, isn't it. Thirty paintings created by Barbras 391 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 3: on his TV show We'll Go to auction to support 392 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 3: public TV stations facing funding cuts. The joy of painting 393 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,360 Speaker 3: was the name of the show, and the Bob Ross 394 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 3: Incorporated team say it's only right that his paintings give 395 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: back to the very medium that placed his creativity and 396 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 3: homes for decades. 397 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Which is nice. 398 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of mind 399 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 2: for New Zealand business. 400 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 3: Jonathan Kurvesley, US correspondence with US. Hello, Jonathan, Heather. 401 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 6: They are always good to talk to you and the listeners. 402 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 3: Jonathan. What did you take away from the Trump CARTI meeting? 403 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think an extraordinary change of attitude. Realistically, this 404 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 9: looked like two men who were very comfortable in each 405 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 9: other's company. It was all very positive. It was all 406 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 9: very light. Gone was the sort of serious, semi serious 407 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 9: talk from the American President about Canada becoming the fifty 408 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 9: first state. There was one brief joke mentioned you played 409 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 9: that he wanted to be a great man too comment. 410 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 9: It was all relatively jovial. I mean, the toughest material 411 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 9: came when Donald Trump was actually asked domestic questions about 412 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 9: the government shutdown and issues along that line. 413 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 6: Between the two of them, well, it seemed. 414 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 9: To be quite warm, quite cozy, and I think, you know, 415 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 9: you've got Australia's Prime minister heading over for his first 416 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 9: meeting with the American President in a couple of weeks time. 417 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 9: It might start to set a better tone for how 418 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 9: this American president is going to start treating more traditional 419 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 9: American allies. But this is Donald Trump, so watch this space. 420 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 9: But certainly a much warmer tone between Donald Trump and 421 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 9: McCartney today. 422 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 3: How's Chicago feeling? 423 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Chicago's pretty much going to be on edge. 424 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 9: And there's another two hundred National Guard I've been sent 425 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 9: in from Texas who finally made their way into Illinois. 426 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 9: They were flown in last night, made their way into 427 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 9: a military training facility this morning. They are now on 428 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 9: the ground in Chicago. The key issue now is going 429 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 9: to be how this city responds over the next forty 430 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 9: eight hours, because they've been told unless they can seriously 431 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 9: get a hold on crime in Illinois, and already we've 432 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 9: seen the state there try and sue the Trump administration 433 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 9: and stop this move from happening. They haven't been successful. 434 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 9: The Texas National Guard is going in and you could 435 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 9: well he protests kick up again outside immigration facilities over 436 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 9: the course of the next forty eight hours. And then 437 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 9: you go keep an eye on Portland too. I mean 438 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 9: Donald Trump's had efforts blocked there to try and get 439 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 9: the National Guard in Christy Noam his Homeland Security Secretary 440 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 9: tonight was saying that she's prepared to send more enforcement 441 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 9: Immigration enforcement agents in to surround the building. So this 442 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 9: is a real measure of force from the Trump administration, 443 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 9: and they need to watch this face closely. They are 444 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 9: democratic cities and things could heat up there. 445 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 10: Now. 446 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 3: Are you as surprised as I was to see Taite 447 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: having to go on the late night TV and Hawker 448 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: wares You. 449 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 9: Wouldn't have thought that somebody with as many Instagram followers 450 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 9: and a large bank account as she has really needs 451 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 9: to do that in order to sell an album. But 452 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 9: clearly she wants to get out and try and push 453 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 9: herself to a fans. She went on the Graham Norton 454 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 9: shown in the United Kingdom. It is Seth Myers tonight. 455 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 9: It was Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show last night 456 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 9: in an extraordinary. 457 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 6: Relatively open interview. 458 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 9: If you like, I suppose a lot of what she's 459 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 9: saying now is largely repetitive. She's talking a lot about 460 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 9: the engagement I love for Travis Kelsey, how she's never 461 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 9: been happier in her entire existence, but very much pushing 462 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 9: her wears on this album. 463 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 6: I think it's a very interesting strategy. 464 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 9: Clearly, she must think that her fans want to see 465 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 9: her and want to hear from her other than just 466 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 9: Instagram posts and the album itself, So she's certainly making 467 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 9: this a very very public push, even talking about supposed 468 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 9: speculation that was around that she had rejected a deal 469 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 9: to sing at the Super Bowl because of a dispute 470 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 9: over the ownership of the television footage, essentially saying, look, 471 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 9: it's not a no, it's just a no now because 472 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 9: she's more interested in watching a fiance play American football. 473 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 9: So it's a watch this space on that front. But Yeah, 474 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 9: I think you're right. I think it's very interesting that 475 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 9: you've got the world's biggest pop star doing the late 476 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 9: night TV rounds pushing this album as much as she is. 477 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 3: I know you're a big swifty. Are you enjoying the album? 478 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 10: Oh? 479 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 9: I know you're a big swifty too. I think it's 480 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 9: last week off to go and listen to it as well. 481 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 9: I think we were exchanging mental messages over the course 482 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 9: of the Pacific Ocean on our feedback on the album. 483 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 6: I listened to it last week. Look, it's interesting. 484 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 9: I think there's a few songs there that even the 485 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 9: Swifties might think, oh, maybe this one not so keen 486 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 9: on certainly some of the die hard Swifties. I've spoken 487 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 9: to her a little bit up in arms about a 488 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 9: few of them, but she clearly has her eyes set 489 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 9: on trying to make something a little bit different. There's 490 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 9: a bit of a hark back to some of her 491 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 9: older stuff, and she's a little bit racier with some 492 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 9: of the newest stuff, particularly. 493 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 6: Songs that are supposedly around Travis Kelsey. 494 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 9: But hey, look she seems happy, and who can deny love? 495 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 9: Who can deny happiness? The more happiness we have in 496 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 9: the world, I think the better the post Oh you. 497 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 3: Make Me suck? Jonathan, thank you very much, appreciate it 498 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 3: and enjoy the album. Jonathan Keursley UIs correspondent. I was 499 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: asking Jonathan because the spin off, they've got two of 500 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 3: their senior journalists, Lyric and Alex, who are trying to 501 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 3: figure out why is that Taylor Swift's new album kind 502 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 3: of sucks? And it's because she sounds so bitter. Apparently 503 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 3: so not everybody loves at eighteen Away from. 504 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: Five Ether do for see out well? 505 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: I oh here the Simon Bridges was rolled, but the 506 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: result was an absolute cluster. Do you remember that? 507 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 13: Yeah? 508 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No. No, I'm not talking about it because 509 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: I wanted to happen. I'm just talking about it because 510 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: these things happen anyway. I've been meaning to address something, Okay, 511 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 3: so I'm going to do it now, And it's basically 512 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 3: because I'm only getting around to it now because of 513 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 3: just you know, workflow. Anyway, few people have raised with 514 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: me that while I was on holiday, one of the 515 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 3: things that happened was that the police revealed they'd spotted 516 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 3: the Tom Phillips family a bunch of times in the bush, 517 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 3: and they were surprised. And I was surprised too to 518 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: hear that, because that is not the impression that I 519 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 3: was given by Richard Chambers when he was on the 520 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: show just a few days, if not the day after 521 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: Tom Phillips was shot. Did you come across them in 522 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 3: four years in the bush? 523 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 7: Well, had we come across them in a way, we 524 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 7: could have brought the tour. 525 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 3: No, No, I just did did you come across them? Did 526 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: any of your officers come across them in the bush? 527 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 7: No? 528 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 3: No, never once, never in four years? Never once. 529 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 7: No. 530 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 3: So I talked to police about this, and they said 531 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 3: Richard thought that I was asking if actual police officers, 532 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 3: like actual humans, had bumped into the Tom Phillips family 533 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 3: in the bush. And he's right to say, no, that 534 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: didn't happen, because actually what had happened is they'd spotted 535 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 3: them in transit with motion activated cameras and drones. And 536 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: then Richard's comms woman just gave me a little bit 537 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: of constructive feedback and was like, maybe, either, if you 538 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: don't interrupt so much, he might be able to finish 539 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: his sentence, which would have told you that. So Richard 540 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 3: wasn't so just for the just for the benefit, just 541 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 3: for the avoidance of doubt. Here, Richard was not lying 542 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 3: to us. I just did a crap interview. Sixteen away 543 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 3: from five. 544 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 2: Politics with centrics credit, check your customers and get payments. 545 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: Certainty, Tory Faro has delivered her valedictory speech. We will 546 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 3: deal with that short lets thirteen away from five and 547 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: Barrio Sober, senior political correspondence in studio. Pardon how tragic 548 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 3: she's honestly okay, the ocr what did you make of this? 549 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 5: Well, I think what it did do was vindicate the 550 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: two on the Monetary Statement Committee that they voted for 551 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 5: fifty basis points last time round. And really what it 552 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 5: shows is that the Reserve Bank has been lagging behind 553 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 5: the economy. What it should be doing is injecting impetus 554 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 5: into the economy. And I think what it goes to 555 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 5: show Heather is just how powerful the Reserve Bank is. 556 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, we heard Adrian All saying he 557 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 5: was going to engineer a recession. He didn't know he's 558 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 5: going to engineer a couple of recessions. It could be, 559 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 5: so I say good riddance, and now we've sort of 560 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 5: moved on from that. 561 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 6: I've got to say. 562 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 5: The Finance Minister was beaming premiere to air after the announcement, 563 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 5: saying it's obviously great news for homeo owners with mortgages 564 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 5: and for the economy in general. 565 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 12: What we know is that over the next six months, 566 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 12: around half of mortgage debt will roll off a high 567 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 12: end straight, giving those people an opportunity for a lower 568 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 12: interest rate. So what that suggests is that we are 569 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 12: not yet feeling the full effect of interest rate reductions 570 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 12: that have already happened, and we should be able to 571 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 12: see accelerating relief over the coming months. The reason I 572 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 12: care about lower interest rates is I know that in 573 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 12: every economy in the world where you have lower interest rates, 574 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,719 Speaker 12: people do better, and that's what we were elected to see. 575 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 5: And stepping up to the mic just after Nichola Willis 576 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 5: was Labour's Barbara Edmonds. She was also enthusiastic about the 577 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 5: ocr drop today, saying she hopes it'll see inflation coming 578 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 5: down and making things generally more affordable. 579 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 14: I'm comfortable seeing inflation coming down so that people can 580 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 14: afford food on their table. My concern again is that 581 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 14: inflation is biting hard on Kiwis who are feeling it 582 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 14: the most, and that's really at the grocery and in 583 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 14: those administered costs which they can't avoid. 584 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, and in the house itself heather with lower interest 585 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 5: rates and more money flowing. The question Labors Chris Hopkins 586 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 5: asked the Prime Minister today would see to be a 587 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 5: foregone conclusion. 588 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 15: Mister speaker, when he's been out and about why hasn't 589 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 15: he been talking to the businesses who say that hiring 590 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 15: staff is not their primary constraint for growth, given that 591 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 15: only four percent are saying that, whilst sixty three percent 592 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 15: of businesses, according to NZI are saying the real problem 593 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 15: is not enough customers. 594 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 16: Well, the economy has been in a recession caused by 595 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 16: your reckless spending. You put the country into the biggest 596 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 16: recession in thirty five years. 597 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 6: You've created the. 598 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 16: Longest COVID hangover of any in the Western world. You 599 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 16: actually made sure that you tripled the debt for goodness sake, 600 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 16: and we now have a ten billion dollar interest bill. 601 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 16: We're cleaning up the Labor government's mess. It's that simple, 602 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 16: and I. 603 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 5: Guess we're all hoping that mess will be finally behind 604 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 5: us at some stage that the interstrate bill for the 605 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 5: government is going to take a lot more time to clear. 606 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 3: How much trouble in luxem and Willison with a pole 607 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: that puts them now in the. 608 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 5: Twos Yes, I know, well just twenty nine point six percent. 609 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 5: You know, statistical margin of era is three percent. But 610 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 5: having said that, it's not a good result for the 611 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 5: government clearly, and I think it bears out what the 612 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 5: general mood of the populace has been saying that things 613 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 5: are not looking good. The cost of living's too much. 614 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 5: That's the main concern in this poll. The economy second, 615 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 5: and you know, the Labor Party is slightly ahead, and 616 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 5: the center left would be the government of an election 617 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 5: was held today but center left with the Maldi Party 618 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 5: and the Greens. The Greens lifted their rating as well, 619 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 5: I think, to twelve percent. So you know, I don't 620 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 5: know where they get all the support from, but they're 621 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 5: getting it, and which Peters is the biggest when they're 622 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 5: in those two point five percent. 623 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 3: Look, it's protest numbers right if it actually came to voting. 624 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 3: I don't know that the country is ready to re 625 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: elect Chippy because Chippy is part of the You're one 626 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 3: of the biggest reasons that we are in the situation 627 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 3: that we're in. 628 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 5: But do does the voter have the memory? 629 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 17: Yeah? 630 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 3: I think so. I think so. I think the greater 631 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 3: threat to I still think the right block wins, but 632 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 3: I think the greater threat is that the right block 633 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: wins with the National Party much diminished and the two 634 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 3: supporting parties act in New Zealand first figure, don't you think? 635 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: Well? 636 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 3: And that calls back I mean, just think about the 637 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 3: mechanism here, the mechanics of this right that causes problems 638 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: because then you've got a whole bunch of National MPs 639 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: in seats who losing on the list who losing that 640 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 3: and want to lose their business and then they do 641 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 3: what Well, I'm. 642 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 5: Not going to do that the side of the election. 643 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 5: That's not doubt about that. 644 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 3: Okay, silent song.

Because I was in Queenstown Airport on 701 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 3: Sunday and I was there with a very good friend 702 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 3: of mine. We were flying back home and we were 703 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 3: remarking on the fact that we have never been that 704 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 3: we've never been in an airport as cruddy as Queenstown Airport. 705 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 3: It's a man, I'm it's a beautiful place. 706 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:21,719 Speaker 18: Right. 707 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 3: They've done a lot of really nice stuff with it, 708 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 3: But have you been if you've been there, have you 709 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 3: ever been there? And that has not just been a 710 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 3: horde of people. This was a horde of people somewhere. 711 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 3: Are you trying to get your bags? It's a horde 712 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 3: of people. You're trying to get through that horde of people. 713 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 3: You're going to encounter them somewhere, and you in your 714 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 3: trip around Queen's Town Airport, I encountered them as we 715 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 3: were trying to get on the plane. They were like, 716 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 3: it's the last call or passengers must board your and 717 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 3: us in unflaked to Auckland and we got there and 718 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 3: we were like, oh, it's last call. There's a horde 719 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 3: of people all trying to get on board, and that 720 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 3: it just took and I just thought, oh Lord, Like, 721 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 3: only Queenstown Airport can stuff up getting on your plane 722 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: like this. Anyway, Obviously I thought this was everybody's experience. 723 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: It clearly isn't, because it's the best airport in the 724 00:32:59,360 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 3: whole country. 725 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 9: So going to talk. 726 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 3: We're going to talk to them and try to understand 727 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 3: this when they're with us. In twenty minutes time, Heather, 728 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: when labour starts putting out policy. I think the polls 729 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 3: will turn back to the right. I think Steve is 730 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 3: right there because when Labour starts putting out policy, they're 731 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 3: going to put out their capital gains tax and we're 732 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 3: all going to go, h nah, not this time, not 733 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 3: like last time, not this time. So we'll see how 734 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 3: that goes.

Jared 744 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 3: Kerr is Keiwi Bank's chief economist. 745 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 21: Hi, Jared, Good evening. 746 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 3: I mean some of us were expecting it, but it's 747 00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 3: still surprising. 748 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: Were you surprised, No, we weren't. 749 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 17: We thought it was needed and the Reserve Bank has 750 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 17: finally sort of realized that, yeah, hey, look we need 751 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 17: to take in straight into stimatory territory, and here we are. 752 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 3: Will it give us the confidence to spend like they 753 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 3: hope it will? 754 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 17: It will certainly help. 755 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 10: Yeah, it'll certainly help. 756 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 17: And we expect things to pick up over summer as 757 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 17: a result of these rate cuts. Yeah. 758 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 3: Are you still expecting twenty five in November? 759 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 10: Here we are. 760 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 17: I don't think the job's done just quite just yet. 761 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 17: It'd be great to get the cash right down to 762 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 17: two and a quarter and then we'll think about whether 763 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 17: we need it to go down to two in February. 764 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 17: It'll all come down the house, things play out over summer. 765 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 3: Are you seeing this as an acknowledgment that they got 766 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:41,439 Speaker 3: it wrong? 767 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 7: Yeah? 768 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 17: Yeah. They told us they didn't need to cut further 769 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 17: earlier in the year, and here they are cutting further. 770 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 17: So it's disappointing that this two and a half percent 771 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 17: cash right wasn't delivered six months ago because it would 772 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 17: have fed through by now. But we've got it today 773 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 17: and it's going to feed through over the next six months. 774 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 3: So would you because we had a double cut in 775 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 3: what was it, February? So would you have actually double 776 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 3: cut again in April? 777 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 10: Yeah? 778 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 17: Absolutely, that's what we were calling for. We've been calling 779 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 17: for two and a half percent cash rates two years. 780 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 17: We knew it needed to go below neutral, which is three, 781 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 17: and we needed to get some stimulus into the economy 782 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 17: to really ignite the recovery. We haven't got it. The 783 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 17: economy is still spluttering. We're still in a recession, and 784 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 17: that just shouldn't have been the case. 785 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 3: Some say that this double cut may in fact spook 786 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 3: people because people are already so nervous. What are the chances? 787 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 17: No, I don't believe in that at all. I think 788 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,439 Speaker 17: people will take it for what it is. They'll see 789 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 17: their mortgage rates falling, they'll see their business lending rates falling, 790 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 17: and there'll be a sigh of relief. You know, it'll 791 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 17: free up cash for them to do what they haven't 792 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 17: been able to do up until now. 793 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,000 Speaker 3: So, Jared, what are you picking for the economy next year? 794 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 17: Look, we think we get the recovery which we should 795 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 17: have got this year. We think you'll see growth of 796 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 17: around one to two percent next year, so a significant 797 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 17: improvement and what we've had, and then you know, things 798 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 17: will continue into two thousand and seven as we sort 799 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 17: of pick ourselves up off the ground. 800 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 3: Good stuff, Jared, Thanks very much appreciated.

I think 827 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 10: it's just the continuation of really tough economic times that 828 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 10: there hasn't been a lot of let up for for voters. 829 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 10: You know, since this government came into power two years ago. 830 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 3: Does this if you believe that, then do you think 831 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 3: it turns around when the economy picks up. 832 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 10: I mean you would have to expect that there would 833 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 10: be some kind of bump, you know, when touching would 834 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 10: we're going to say when the economy picks up. You know, Look, 835 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,240 Speaker 10: there is a problem in the sense that I guess 836 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 10: the National Party leadership, which is the part of the 837 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 10: government that's most identified with the economy for its reasons, 838 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 10: the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister have been sort 839 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 10: of almost doing the opposite of the chicken little thing, saying, 840 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 10: you know, the economy is recovering, the economies are recovering. 841 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 10: People have not tended to see it happening, and so 842 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 10: that kind of erodes credibility and leadership and reputations for 843 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 10: economic management and those sorts of things that you see 844 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 10: at other surveys and poles and so, Look, I think 845 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 10: it does have you know, a long term wearing effect 846 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,760 Speaker 10: probably as well. But I think that once the economy 847 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 10: starts going, things would have to start looking up for 848 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 10: the government. 849 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 3: Do you think Luxin's in trouble on these numbers? 850 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,959 Speaker 10: Look, as a prime minister, you wouldn't want to see 851 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 10: many polls where your party was in the twenties, you know, 852 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 10: even just barely dipping under. Now, you know that is 853 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 10: a sort of psychological threshold. 854 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 3: Well because also I mean some in Bridges, not a 855 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 3: prime minister, but the leader. Some in Bridges was rolled 856 00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 3: on twenty nine. 857 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 10: Simon Bridges, I think was rolled on thirty nine, twenty. 858 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 3: Nine on the one news Callma Brunton Pole. 859 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 10: Oh was it okay? 860 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 7: Yeah? 861 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 10: I mean we used to be sort of, you know, 862 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 10: thinking that anything in the you know, in the middle 863 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 10: low thirties was a disaster for a National Party leader. Look, 864 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 10: the thing is that at this point, although the trend 865 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 10: is certainly going against the government and the National Party 866 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 10: in particular when you look at the raw numbers, when 867 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 10: you look at the likely election results, it's still very 868 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,720 Speaker 10: much a toss up. You would say, this upside coming 869 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 10: when if the economic recovery really kicks in. And so 870 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 10: there is a lot of risk if you were going 871 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,240 Speaker 10: to change a leader. You know, if you were starting 872 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 10: from scratch, if there was a terrible accident that wiped 873 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 10: out the entire caucus or something like that, you know, 874 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 10: would Christopher Luxen be the person that you would choose. 875 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 10: Probably not at this point. On the other hand, there's 876 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 10: a lot of risk attendant. You know, you might get 877 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 10: your Cinder Dun, you might get Todd Muller. It is 878 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 10: hard to tell how people will perform in those roles 879 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 10: or how the public will perceive sort of you know, 880 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,919 Speaker 10: the perception of instability. And so right now you see 881 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 10: and it's not just National labor as well. It is 882 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 10: hardly performing at historic or heroic eyes. They're in the 883 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 10: low low thirties, and so it's almost a bit of 884 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 10: a race to the bottom. But again same issue, probably 885 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 10: a fifty to fifty chance if an election was held 886 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 10: yet tomorrow, that they would win and former government and 887 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 10: so it's almost what you know, if you're a physicist, 888 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 10: you could call a very very non dynamic equilibrium where 889 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 10: the risks could be are perceived to probably outweigh the 890 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 10: upsides of any kind of big change or gamble. 891 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 3: Ben, thank you, has always appreciated Ben Thomas, former National 892 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 3: Party staff. But by the way, here is Chris Luxen. 893 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 7: It's been, no doubt about it. 894 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 16: At a tough time, New Zanders voted and our government 895 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 16: to af fix the economy and. 896 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 7: Get it growing. 897 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: We work incredibly hard to do it. 898 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,720 Speaker 7: I don't deny it's been difficult and it's still tough. 899 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 3: Heather. Remember John Keith. This is just on the Reserve Bank. 900 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 3: Remember John Key got pilloried because he said the Reserve 901 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 3: Bank should drop the rate by one percent. Yeah, we 902 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 3: all looked at that and went, oh that's bold. Well 903 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 3: I think actually since then they have dropped the rate 904 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 3: by as he said, one percent. Let's deal with Queenstown 905 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 3: Airport next quarter pass.

Congrats? 940 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 22: Have you guys celebrated, Yes, we're starting to celebrate. I 941 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 22: think the team that we're up in Blend last night 942 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 22: may have celebrated into the wee small hours. So we're 943 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 22: going to do something with the team over the next 944 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:05,919 Speaker 22: couple of days. 945 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 6: But we're really pleased. 946 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 3: Okay, so were you expecting it? 947 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 22: You never really expected and we're relatively smaller airported in 948 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 22: the large yearport category, but you know, we've done a 949 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 22: great job and you know we've grown back really strong 950 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 22: post COVID. We're about the only airport in New Zealand 951 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 22: that is back past pre COVID levels where it's at 952 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 22: one hundred and twenty percent of COVID, So and you know, 953 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 22: our customers love coming here, the airlines love coming here. 954 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 22: In the region has a lot to offer. So I 955 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,399 Speaker 22: think we think we do a really good job. 956 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 3: Yeah. So I love what you've done with some of 957 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 3: the new stuff and the new toilets that you've made 958 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 3: in the departure lounge. Is it looks really great. But Todd, 959 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 3: I was a little surprised because I was there on 960 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 3: Sunday and we were talking about how it's always chaotic 961 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,760 Speaker 3: at Queenstown Airport. Why is it always chaotic at Queenstown Airport. 962 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 22: Well, we do have these peaks in the afternoon, and 963 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 22: you know, we suffer from our own popularity, and so 964 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 22: we know that we've got quite a lot of work 965 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 22: ahead of us and we're really just at the beginning 966 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 22: of that. So some of the things that we've done 967 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 22: have been to improve the customer experience and get the 968 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 22: airfield working right. 969 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 3: And we've got just need more space, don't you Because 970 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 3: you know, you go you go to the screening gates, 971 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,879 Speaker 3: you go through that weird like little rat race thing 972 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 3: that you do, and then you're like straight into the 973 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,959 Speaker 3: screening space and then out the other and it's just 974 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 3: so tight. Isn't that your problem? 975 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, well we do. 976 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 22: We absolutely need more space. And and we're probably one 977 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 22: of those airports that suffered from about to start something 978 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 22: pre COVID and the wheel changes and we come back 979 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 22: from COVID and it all bounces back. So we're just 980 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 22: at the beginning of that. And we know that at 981 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 22: certain times of the day it is tight. And that's 982 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 22: why we have a plan and we've and we've worked 983 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 22: through that through with airlines about how to develop the 984 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 22: terminal and how to grow more space. 985 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 6: Infrastructure. 986 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 3: You put the corral club on the right side of 987 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 3: the screening a that stops. 988 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 22: That stops that mad rush to screening. But you know 989 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 22: infrastructure and airports, as most airports around the world. Fine, 990 00:44:58,360 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 22: it takes time to get stuff and. 991 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 6: Get to live it. 992 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 3: Hey will listen. Thanks, And I'm a little bit sorry 993 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 3: that I introduced a negative I am sorry that I 994 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 3: introduced a negative tone to your when you deserve it, obviously, Todd, 995 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 3: because I'm not the judges. They are. Todd Grace, chief 996 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 3: operating office at Queenstown Airport. Right, let's deal with Truan. 997 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 3: I've got some good news on the Truancy stand by 998 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:18,920 Speaker 3: five twenty. 999 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: One, hard questions, strong opinion. 1000 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,720 Speaker 2: Here the duplicy el and drive with one New Zealand 1001 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,879 Speaker 2: and the power of satellite mobile news talks, they'd be. 1002 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 3: We have Mark Robinson, boss of the Rugby on banning 1003 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 3: any of those players going to the Saudi League from 1004 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 3: playing for the All Blacks five point twenty four. I've 1005 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 3: got some good news for you on the truancyy. It 1006 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,479 Speaker 3: looks like we're actually getting somewhere with getting the kids 1007 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 3: back into the class. There's the RO report which has 1008 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,359 Speaker 3: come out today showing attendance is now back to pre 1009 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 3: COVID levels. We have more kids thinking that daily attendance 1010 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 3: is important than the number of kids who thought that 1011 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 3: about three three years ago, and we have more kids 1012 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 3: now never wanting to miss school. Now, this doesn't mean 1013 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 3: that the problem is solved. 1014 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: It's not. 1015 00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 3: We still have a way to go. Even on these numbers. 1016 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 3: Our goal is to get regular attendance back to eighty percent. 1017 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 3: It has improved, but it is still languishing at fifty 1018 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 3: eight percent, so you can see the gap there as massive. 1019 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 3: What I think is really interesting is what comes next. 1020 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 3: Before you think that this is not a me problem. 1021 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 3: This is a problem with Darrow parents who can't be 1022 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 3: bothered getting their kids off the couch. Actually, the biggest problem, 1023 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 3: according to this report is parents in nice areas pulling 1024 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 3: their kids out of school during term time for a 1025 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 3: nice little holiday in Fiji or maybe Queenstown. So parents, 1026 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 3: nice parents need to lift their game and before educators think, yeah, 1027 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 3: that's right, it's the parents problem. Actually, how about the 1028 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 3: educators set a bit of an example here as well, 1029 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 3: because right now, if you've been following what's going on 1030 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 3: with the teacher strike, they are striking in part because 1031 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 3: they do not want to have to come in during 1032 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,719 Speaker 3: their extensive holiday time to do work in class, even 1033 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 3: though they paid. They would rather be doing teacher only 1034 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 3: days during term time. Now, what it seems to me 1035 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 3: is that in both cases here it's the adults who 1036 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 3: the kids are doing their bit. By the looks of things, 1037 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 3: it's the adults here who need to set the example. 1038 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 3: Teacher training during your break, not in the school at 1039 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 3: the term time. That cuts down kids learning. Take your 1040 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 3: kid on holiday by all means, but how about you 1041 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 3: try doing it during the holiday. Yes, it's expensive, but 1042 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 3: how about you try doing it in the holidays and 1043 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 3: teaching your kids to prioritize schooling. The good news is 1044 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 3: that we are getting some wins. The bad news as adults, 1045 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:18,760 Speaker 3: still have a little bit of work. 1046 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: To do here, Heather du pusy Ellen Heather. 1047 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 3: As a pilot, I'm quite surprised about the Queenstown Airport 1048 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 3: award because the airport is actually a nightmare. It's too 1049 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 3: small for the number of people and planes. So it's 1050 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 3: not just me thank you. Now, I just wouldn't give 1051 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 3: Tory Farno a little bit of credit here because I 1052 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 3: thought that her valedictory speech to the council today was 1053 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 3: surprisingly gracious to the fellow counselors, given how much fighting 1054 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 3: there has been between them. 1055 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 19: To Diane, your opposition has been particularly strong, and if 1056 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 19: you've become the mayor, I can't wait to be yours. 1057 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 19: To ray Tony and Nicola, we've rarely seen eye to eye, 1058 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 19: but I do respect that the fight that you bring 1059 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,319 Speaker 19: to the table and the way that you stand up 1060 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 19: for your communities. 1061 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,360 Speaker 3: Now to I mean's Tory. So she did go on 1062 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 3: to be a little bit less gracious to the government 1063 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 3: and a little bit less gracious to some very capable 1064 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,800 Speaker 3: and wonderful former mayors like Kerry, Brenda Gasten, Fran Wilde 1065 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 3: and so on. I mean, she's not naming them, but 1066 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 3: I am for you just so you know the caliber 1067 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 3: of the people. So she was less gracious to them. 1068 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 3: But then you know, to be fair to her, it 1069 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 3: was valid what she said about in both cases. What 1070 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 3: I thought when I listened to her speaking today was 1071 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 3: it would have been nice to see more of this Tory. 1072 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 3: We saw a lot of Tory getting in trouble because 1073 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 3: she was two boozed, not paying her bill, Tory complaining 1074 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 3: about being whatever it was like, what was she adhd 1075 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 3: I don't know, not turning up to like being a 1076 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,920 Speaker 3: slacker and not turning up to work. All of that 1077 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 3: stuff was so negative. If we're seeing a bit more 1078 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 3: of this gracious Tory, like it might have put her 1079 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 3: in done her a little bit of good anyway, Mark Robinson, 1080 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 3: next News Talks'd be. 1081 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines. 1082 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,320 Speaker 2: It's Heather Duper c Ellen Drive were one New Zealand 1083 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 2: coverage like no one else newth Talks, there'd be. 1084 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,800 Speaker 3: K you're going to want to hear about this report 1085 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 3: that we've got our hot little hands on. One in 1086 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 3: ten homes are at risk of the getting flooded in 1087 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 3: this country. We'll talk about that after six. Heather as 1088 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,080 Speaker 3: an ECEE teacher at a public kindy, we have to 1089 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 3: do personal development professional development every school holidays for the 1090 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 3: second week. We don't have two week holidays, only one 1091 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 3: as in like they take one week's holiday, then they 1092 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 3: come back for the second week and they do the 1093 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 3: professional development. I can't see why primary teachers can't do 1094 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 3: this too. And also we always back. We're always back 1095 00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 3: on the twentieth of January, so it's just four weeks 1096 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,479 Speaker 3: at Christmas, not six. Do you know what my son 1097 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,759 Speaker 3: is in kindy? That's exactly how they operate and if 1098 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 3: we can we treat kindy exactly the way that we 1099 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 3: treat Kendy is how we should be treating higher education, 1100 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 3: which some of us may argue is even more important. 1101 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,560 Speaker 3: Twenty four away from six huddles standing by now, rugby 1102 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,359 Speaker 3: unions across the world have declared war on the new 1103 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,600 Speaker 3: Saudi backed Rebel league. They've banned any place who take 1104 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 3: up the contract from playing for the All Blacks, the 1105 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,720 Speaker 3: spring Box, the Wallabies, any other national team. The CEO 1106 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,640 Speaker 3: of New Zealand Rugby is Mark Robinson. 1107 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 6: Harmark Heather Hike? 1108 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 18: How are you? 1109 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 3: I'm very well, thank you? So are you banning someone 1110 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 3: from being an All Black if they've played in the league, 1111 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 3: like while they're playing in the league, or if they've 1112 00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 3: ever played in the league. 1113 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 21: Look, no, this is not a change to anything we've 1114 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 21: done historically. Our eligibility criteria will remain exactly the same. 1115 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,839 Speaker 21: So we obviously sleep players out of our own domestic competitions, 1116 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 21: and if players choose to play the club rug the overseas, 1117 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 21: then they're not eligible for. 1118 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 3: The right going to play for Japan. 1119 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 21: Yeah, it is, I mean the reason I guess there's 1120 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 21: a bit of wider context here around joining as a 1121 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,799 Speaker 21: signatory to the statement put out from national unions overnight. 1122 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 21: It doesn't change our policy in this space at all. 1123 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 21: But why we joined the list was basically to signal 1124 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 21: some concerns and questions about the R three sixty competition 1125 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,240 Speaker 21: and to put out a unified position from national unions. 1126 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 21: A lot of those national unions haven't been or aren't 1127 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 21: always as clear or public as we are because of 1128 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 21: the scrutiny that sits in New Zealand about this policy, 1129 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 21: so they wanted to from perspective, So you. 1130 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 3: Guys, you guys are being consistent. But the likes of Australia, 1131 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 3: where they do select overseas based players, they are taking 1132 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,080 Speaker 3: a different stance, aren't they. 1133 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 21: Well yeah, it's it's for Australia or other countries to 1134 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 21: speak to that. 1135 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 3: But can you explain to me why why are the 1136 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,720 Speaker 3: why why is wild rugby? These rugby unions banded together 1137 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 3: to take such a hard line on the Saudi Back League. 1138 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 21: Well, it's not like I say, from our position, England's position, 1139 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 21: there are a number of countries where this is very 1140 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 21: France Island, that's very consistent with what they've done historically. 1141 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 21: I think the key part of the point, apart from 1142 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 21: eligibility is to form the statement, is to outline the 1143 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 21: roles of national union and the roles that we have 1144 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 21: to what we call a whole of game approach around 1145 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:08,839 Speaker 21: investing in community rugby, volunteers, referees, you know a wide 1146 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 21: range of activities which we want to just signore some 1147 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 21: concern about if the league comes into the rugby ecosystem 1148 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 21: and is not clear on how it wants to invest 1149 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,280 Speaker 21: in the wider game, what the impact of that can. 1150 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 3: Have Have you read Grant Robertson's book No. Page two 1151 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 3: hundred and forty three in the halftime break? 1152 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,360 Speaker 21: What has he got a view on our three sixty 1153 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 21: or something? 1154 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 3: No, listen to this Mark. In the halftime break, I 1155 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 3: confronted New Zealand Rugby CEO Mark Robinson in the big 1156 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 3: reception room at Eden Park about the absence of senior 1157 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 3: New Zealand rugby people in fung at A. This is 1158 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 3: during the Women's World Cup tournament. Our conversation grew a 1159 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 3: bit heated. Mark was very defensive about how much work 1160 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 3: they had put into the tournament. I felt the investment 1161 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,520 Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. He reckons. He realized that 1162 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 3: people in the room had stepped several meters away, and 1163 00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,640 Speaker 3: on reflection, I was probably being a bit overly. Do 1164 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 3: you remember that? 1165 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 7: Really? 1166 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,360 Speaker 21: Now? I don't recall ever having anything too heated with Grant. 1167 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 21: What I would say, though, is that I'm glad that 1168 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 21: he recognized we did an amazing job to get the 1169 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 21: tournament here, considering what other countries put on the table 1170 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 21: from a government investment point of view, that we managed 1171 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,560 Speaker 21: to get it here. So I'm glad that got recognized. 1172 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 21: But they always had a lot of time for Grant 1173 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 21: and had a lot of fun to around some great 1174 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:22,839 Speaker 21: sporting events around the world. 1175 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 3: Nicely handled.

Highlads, you hear that right saying so. 1181 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 3: I mean it's pretty clear that if they're taking the 1182 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 3: stance on the players, they're worried about that league, aren't they? 1183 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 23: Of course, just have a look at live golf. I 1184 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 23: was talking to some people, well who I suspect on 1185 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 23: the lessen the periphery of this, and said, well, it's 1186 00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 23: the golden rule. Whoever's got the gold rules? And you're 1187 00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,960 Speaker 23: talking about a bottomless pit of money? 1188 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, what are they worried about? 1189 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:03,440 Speaker 7: Surely? 1190 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 23: Well the other thing is surely one of the first 1191 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,360 Speaker 23: things when they were setting this thing. 1192 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:09,959 Speaker 7: Up they must have thought, right, what are the rugman 1193 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 7: unions going to do? 1194 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 23: Well, I'll say you're not going to be test eligible, 1195 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 23: so all the stuff would have been through. So are 1196 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 23: they going to end up having to if there's a 1197 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 23: hemorrhage of players, then. 1198 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 7: They're going to have to be the same as for 1199 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,880 Speaker 7: the golf. You're going to have to deal with the devil. 1200 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 3: Do you know what, Jordan, I don't think that the 1201 00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 3: span is going to make a difference because it sounds 1202 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 3: like the kind of players that they're hoovering up are 1203 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 3: Roger twy us a checks right, who've had a crack 1204 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 3: at playing in the black jersey. It didn't work, and 1205 00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:37,040 Speaker 3: so he's got nothing to lose. 1206 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,400 Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm just not convinced competing leagues are bad for 1207 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 18: viewers all for players. Yeah, and that's why they're worried, 1208 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,320 Speaker 18: you know. No, they're in a dominant position. Latch competition 1209 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 18: coming along. 1210 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 3: Yeah too, right now, Soons, how do you feel about 1211 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 3: that double cut You happy? 1212 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 7: Oh? Yes? Yes, yes, yes, yes? 1213 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 3: I mean did you just lose concentration? 1214 00:54:58,680 --> 00:54:58,879 Speaker 18: No? 1215 00:54:58,880 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 7: No, no, no no. 1216 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 23: When you said double cutters, I suddenly thought under anyways. 1217 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,440 Speaker 23: But but yeah, I mean it's interesting again, I mean 1218 00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 23: that people sort of isn't it funny? Just has something 1219 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 23: like that can just change the mood. So people are 1220 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 23: already saying we may finally start to see the green 1221 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 23: shoots coming through. 1222 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 7: You know, that's that's that's the feeling. But you know, 1223 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:21,360 Speaker 7: maybe things are turning. 1224 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 3: Yep, Jordan, I reckon it's eight going to work, but 1225 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,320 Speaker 3: it is be like Jared kur said an admission of 1226 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,759 Speaker 3: having made a mistake by the Reserve Bank. 1227 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 18: Yeah, you're going to hear the corks and the beehive 1228 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 18: down the road from this, but it's pretty risky. You know, 1229 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,200 Speaker 18: we two point seven are not. But at the upper 1230 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 18: end of the of the band, there is some risk 1231 00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 18: with this. And this is a bank that you know 1232 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 18: only recently has seriously overshot. It doesn't fix the fundamentals 1233 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,719 Speaker 18: which really needs to be done. But on the in 1234 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 18: the beehive, and that is you know, get on top 1235 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 18: of inflationary government spending. This is a be a good 1236 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 18: sugar hit and cheap money means that you know, we 1237 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,799 Speaker 18: should get back to growth. But fundamentally it doesn't get 1238 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 18: doesn't it doesn't get any gill and back on track. 1239 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, the reason that the bee hives will be popping 1240 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 3: the corks is because of that in part because of 1241 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 3: that poll today, right, how much trouble are they in 1242 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:13,960 Speaker 3: if they're in the NATS to start with the two. 1243 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:20,480 Speaker 18: Well, I mean that's so very naturally I call the 1244 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 18: various party leaders or party leaders officers depending of his 1245 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,879 Speaker 18: oppositional government to give them a heads up on the pole. 1246 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,879 Speaker 18: Really as a market respects to us before we put 1247 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,319 Speaker 18: it out, I could laugh at the I'm not going 1248 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:34,960 Speaker 18: to I'm not going to dock them. But the very 1249 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:39,399 Speaker 18: senior National Party person he said twenty nine point six. 1250 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 18: You can round that to thirty, can't. 1251 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 3: You, Because it's an acknowledgment that it is a really 1252 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 3: bad thing. 1253 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 18: Right, Yeah, that's a pretty you know, it is a cycle. 1254 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,400 Speaker 18: I mean, reality doesn't really matter. I mean both Labor 1255 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,440 Speaker 18: and National were down. National we're down to smudge more 1256 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 18: three and a half points. I mean, but it's been 1257 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 18: a terrible four weeks for the government. I mean, that's 1258 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:05,279 Speaker 18: so giggy numbers alone. You pointed out very well here 1259 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,400 Speaker 18: there in the weekend on energy that if this government 1260 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 18: does go down next year, it's not going to be 1261 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 18: because they have done too much. It's that they haven't 1262 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 18: hit the go button fast enough and they're not doing enough. 1263 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think, Yeah, that's a theme that's 1264 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 3: coming through, isn't it saying? So what do you reckon? 1265 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 3: You've watched your fair amount of pot like your fair 1266 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 3: share of politics. How bad is it for these guys? 1267 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 23: Well, well, one of the things I noted was that 1268 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 23: when our. 1269 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 7: Preferred PM is getting twenty point. 1270 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 23: Nine percent less top of the pile, you've got a 1271 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 23: bit of a christ of confidence. I think you look 1272 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 23: at I mean Christopher Lexi modeled himself and John Key. 1273 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 7: You look at when John keevers PM. 1274 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 23: I don't think sixty five percenty peak to one stage, 1275 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:48,479 Speaker 23: it's just to and. 1276 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 7: It continued going up until he decided to go. 1277 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 23: Although I did think KRYSTALH. Lexon took the right approach, 1278 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 23: because what else can you do. You've got to say, 1279 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 23: hang on, we've been elected to do this. The election's 1280 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 23: still some time away, come and see us. Then you 1281 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 23: have to explain yourself every single time. You know, it's 1282 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 23: the old explaining is losing. But I thought he took 1283 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 23: the right approach, but the delivery was terrible. 1284 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 18: They haven't delivered what they were elected to do, says 1285 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,520 Speaker 18: I mean, they were elected to take. 1286 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,560 Speaker 7: All government spending. They've taken the political hit for doing. 1287 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 18: It, but they haven't had the economic upside because they haven't. 1288 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 18: They're elected to tackle the co government stuff and the 1289 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 18: divisive stuff we had from the last government, and everyone 1290 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 18: can see they don't really stand for what they said 1291 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 18: they would. 1292 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:32,760 Speaker 3: That's fair, isn't it says that? 1293 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, look it's I mean, it's a bit of 1294 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 23: a I don't think I've quite seen it like this before. 1295 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:41,600 Speaker 7: You know it it is. 1296 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 23: But but again, the thing is, you've got to keep thinking. 1297 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 23: It's not like the government's going to change overnight or 1298 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 23: they're going to roll Christopher Luxen, you know, I mean, 1299 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 23: things are going to carry on, So you've got to 1300 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,320 Speaker 23: sort of weather it and you have some confidence that 1301 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 23: what you're doing is actually the right plan. 1302 00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:56,640 Speaker 10: Now. 1303 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 7: The only worry is it may not be the right plan. 1304 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 3: Well running, what were you saying, Jordan, Well there running. 1305 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:03,600 Speaker 7: At a time. 1306 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 18: Nicolae Willison has got one more budget, but next year's 1307 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 18: budget will be too late.

It's funny, we have 1336 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,080 Speaker 23: a funny relationship with the airports, isn't it. It sort 1337 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 23: of a you know, we we sort of take them personally. 1338 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 23: I quite like Queenstown. I think it's all right, and 1339 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,360 Speaker 23: I mean you get that that. I know exactly what 1340 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 23: you mean, that little rat run. But I've always had 1341 01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 23: a reasonably good time there, don't. 1342 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 3: You find those things so that when you get to 1343 01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 3: Queensland Airport there will be a horde of people at 1344 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 3: some point, Like there will be people chaos at some point. 1345 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 3: It's just where it is. So you could be if 1346 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 3: you're putting your bag in. It could be when you're 1347 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,120 Speaker 3: going through and scan. It could be when you're getting 1348 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:55,480 Speaker 3: on the plane. But you're going to get it somewhere. 1349 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 23: Yeah, but it's it's like it does feel like sort 1350 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:01,680 Speaker 23: of a holiday airport, doesn't it. 1351 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,480 Speaker 7: It feels like that's why we like. 1352 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 3: It, Yeah, because it represents a break for us. Jordan, 1353 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 3: what do you think about this idea? One of the 1354 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 3: ideas that the e r O has pitched for dealing 1355 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,440 Speaker 3: with truancy because all the nice parents are taking their 1356 01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,919 Speaker 3: nice kids off to you know, Fiji during term time 1357 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 3: is to stagger the school holidays throughout the country, so 1358 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,800 Speaker 3: we don't just get everybody go in go into Fiji 1359 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:21,920 Speaker 3: at once. What do you think of that? 1360 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 18: You kind of have that in Auckland because often the 1361 01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,960 Speaker 18: private schools are slightly different, and I think if you've 1362 01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 18: got kids stagger between schools that would be that could 1363 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:35,000 Speaker 18: make the problem even worse. How So, well, if you've 1364 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 18: got kids on on one holiday program and and a 1365 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,840 Speaker 18: kid at another school, know what. 1366 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 3: They were meaning is region, They mean it's regional. So 1367 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,800 Speaker 3: like region Auckland has its holidays, then Wellington has maybe 1368 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:52,520 Speaker 3: slightly different by a week christ. 1369 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 7: When you like that, then if an event, if. 1370 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,880 Speaker 23: You're planning a major event to a tract, you know, 1371 01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 23: school school kids could be a sport in competitions or whatever. 1372 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 23: Now all of a sudden you've got a problem because 1373 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 23: are not all on the holiday. 1374 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 3: Well, and this does happen a lot, doesn't it. You've 1375 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,560 Speaker 3: got into school stuff and you've got school programs that 1376 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,520 Speaker 3: people out would bound all that kind of carry on. 1377 01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 3: I suppose same though as a Wellingtonian. How did you 1378 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,920 Speaker 3: feel about Tori Farno's speech, because I thought it was 1379 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 3: actually surprisingly gracious. 1380 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,880 Speaker 23: Yeah, I thought it was too. I mean the initial 1381 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 23: sort of reporting of it, so it was that there 1382 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 23: was going to be this huge utu was coming and etcetera. 1383 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 23: But yeah, and you've got a bit of humor and 1384 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,200 Speaker 23: why do you do your best performance almost on your 1385 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:32,760 Speaker 23: last day? 1386 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, do you feel like you've kind of missed 1387 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 3: out on what could have been? 1388 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:37,720 Speaker 24: Yeah? 1389 01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 23: Look, look I do also think I mean, she got 1390 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 23: a really really hard time, a hard time that she 1391 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 23: was asking for. Some of it was self inflicted either, 1392 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,240 Speaker 23: but some of it I wouldn't have got it, you 1393 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 23: know what I mean. I think it's it was a 1394 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 23: lot of it was because she was you. 1395 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 3: Know, well, I don't know it. Sain Zoe, I mean 1396 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 3: would come off at Sines. I mean, you might have 1397 01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,560 Speaker 3: been back in the day. Back in the day, you 1398 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,560 Speaker 3: might have been drunk enough to not pay a bill, 1399 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 3: and maybe you would have got a lighter run than her, 1400 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 3: But I don't think that you would have gone out 1401 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 3: and pinned all of you, you know, made excuses for 1402 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,440 Speaker 3: yourself because you suddenly had ADHD that doesn't strike me 1403 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 3: as something you do well. 1404 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 7: You do if you end up in that situation. 1405 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 3: I guess, Jordan, what do you think. 1406 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 18: Like I've got in trouble before because I've defended Tory 1407 01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,400 Speaker 18: and people have jumped down my throat. 1408 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 7: The thing is with with Toy, she sometimes her own 1409 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:28,120 Speaker 7: roost enemy. 1410 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 18: If she has shown grace at the end, good honor. 1411 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 18: But I do think that running for parliament probably wouldn't 1412 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 18: be good for New Zealand or for Tory. 1413 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, listen, thank you, it's very lovely to talk 1414 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,600 Speaker 3: to the pair of you. Mark Sainsbury, Jordan williams our 1415 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 3: Huddle this evening eight away from six. 1416 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 2: It's the Heather Duper See allan Drive full show podcast 1417 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 2: on my Hard Radio powered by News Talk ZB. 1418 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 3: It's a terrible idea for the regions sports tournaments, cousins 1419 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 3: et cid. I mean, it's not going to happen. It 1420 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,080 Speaker 3: was an idea, wasn't it. It's not to happen because, yeah, 1421 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 3: you're right, the consequences of doing it, especially populations only 1422 01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 3: five million, right or whatever. It is Another idea from Arrow, 1423 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 3: which I think is actually absolutely gonna fly and should fly. 1424 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,959 Speaker 3: Is the idea that you make no distinction between unjustified 1425 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,280 Speaker 3: and justified absences. So justified absences for your child is 1426 01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 3: like if you write it and you go, sorry, Johnny 1427 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 3: sick because Johnny's got the flue. The goal that's justified 1428 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 3: unjustified is hey, whise Johnny. Now, I don't can't be 1429 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 3: bother telling you why Johnny's not here unjustified. The fact 1430 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,720 Speaker 3: of the matter is in both cases you make no distinction. 1431 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 3: You just say Johnny's absent. And the reason that you 1432 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 3: make no distinction is because parents need to start thinking 1433 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 3: about all of it as being missing time. Right, So 1434 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:39,880 Speaker 3: if Johnny's missed time, he's missed time. Now some of 1435 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:41,920 Speaker 3: it he needed to miss, which means some of it 1436 01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 3: which he didn't need to miss, he now shouldn't miss 1437 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,040 Speaker 3: because you know what I mean. So it's just kind 1438 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 3: of drumming it into them that absence is absence, regardless 1439 01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 3: of what you'll reason for the absences, which I quite like, 1440 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,320 Speaker 3: Actually weird thing is going by the way, it's four 1441 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,360 Speaker 3: away from six weird thing with Netball New Zealand. I 1442 01:04:58,400 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 3: feel like at this point you almost need the CA 1443 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 3: conspiracy theory music that dun duntan because this could be 1444 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 3: something or it could be nothing.

So we did and 1448 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,040 Speaker 3: there was the Google link compared there's a link to 1449 01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:19,040 Speaker 3: the page and they said click it and so we did. 1450 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:22,280 Speaker 3: Oh page wasn't there? Well, they grinned at us. It's 1451 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 3: been taken down. Now. The leadership page is the page 1452 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 3: that lists all the bosses at Netball New Zealand, including 1453 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,240 Speaker 3: the CEO boss Dun Duntane. Now, if you've been following 1454 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,440 Speaker 3: the debate right, the debate has shifted from Dame Knowles, 1455 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,080 Speaker 3: why is Dame Knowles going? To how badly? 1456 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:40,440 Speaker 2: Like? 1457 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 3: What's going on with Dame Knowles and the players has 1458 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:47,640 Speaker 3: shifted into a question about m are we going to 1459 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,160 Speaker 3: see the CEO lose her job because of how badly 1460 01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 3: this has been handled? Anyway, So we dropped a line 1461 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 3: to Netball New Zealand and we were like, why have 1462 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,439 Speaker 3: you taken down your leadership and what's going on here? 1463 01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 3: They said, it's normal maintenance. The page will be when 1464 01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,600 Speaker 3: it has sorted it. So it would appear that there's 1465 01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 3: some normal maintenance of the website going on that effects 1466 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 3: only that page. Could be a very awkward coincidence, a 1467 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 3: very awkward coincidence. But boy, did it get somebody in 1468 01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 3: our newsroom just absolutely grinning from ear to ear today, 1469 01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 3: didn't it. We'll see what happens there could be nothing, 1470 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 3: could be something. Okay, we are going to talk straight 1471 01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,080 Speaker 3: after the news about the fact that one in ten 1472 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,640 Speaker 3: houses are apparently this is in the country apparently at 1473 01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 3: risk of flooding and what that means. Also, did you 1474 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 3: see the super moon last night? Did you? I'm looking No, 1475 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 3: this German didn't even bother going outside. It was enormous, 1476 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,480 Speaker 3: Like it was one hundred percent worth going out to 1477 01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,160 Speaker 3: look at the moon for. So if you didn't see 1478 01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 3: it last night, look at it tonight. It's rising in 1479 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 3: the opposite place from the sun at just about half 1480 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 3: past seven, and then it'll be up there for oh, 1481 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 3: I reckon an hour and a bit before you know 1482 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,360 Speaker 3: it hits the clouds and stuff like that. Anyway, news talks, 1483 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 3: he'd be. 1484 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 1: Keeping track of where the money is glowing. 1485 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,520 Speaker 2: The business hour with Heather due for slan and mass 1486 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:08,040 Speaker 2: for insurance investments and Qui saber, you're. 1487 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,480 Speaker 1: In good hands. News talks. 1488 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:09,800 Speaker 7: There'd be. 1489 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,160 Speaker 3: Evening coming up in the next hour. Milford Asset Management 1490 01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 3: is going to run us through the market. Reaction to 1491 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,720 Speaker 3: the ocr double cut and there was significant reaction to it. 1492 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 3: The Banking Reform Coalition on whether the government will have 1493 01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 3: to drop its planned banking reforms and Gavin Gray out 1494 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 3: of the UK for US seven past six. Now one 1495 01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 3: in ten kei we homes are at risk of getting flooded. 1496 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,080 Speaker 3: This is according to a new official report from the 1497 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:34,600 Speaker 3: Ministry for the Environment. It shows one hundred and eighty 1498 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 3: billion dollars worth of assets are currently in flood prone 1499 01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 3: areas and thirteen hundred coastal homes are likely to experience 1500 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 3: significant weather damage by the year twenty sixty. Allison Collins 1501 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,880 Speaker 3: is the Ministry for the Environment's Chief Science Advisor and 1502 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:47,400 Speaker 3: with us HI. 1503 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,919 Speaker 25: Allison good evening Heather. 1504 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,720 Speaker 3: Where are these flood prone houses? 1505 01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 25: Where are they across the country? Many in low lying 1506 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 25: coastal communities and on flood chains, So yeah, a variety 1507 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:04,160 Speaker 25: of different places. 1508 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:05,240 Speaker 3: Is it really one and ten? 1509 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 17: I think it's what. 1510 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,760 Speaker 25: It's two hundred and nineteen thousand residential properties, and I 1511 01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 25: think it's about two million, so. 1512 01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,679 Speaker 3: It's about one and ten one in represents one hundred 1513 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,599 Speaker 3: and eighty billion dollars in assets which we cannot afford 1514 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 3: to buy these owners out. So what do we do? 1515 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,880 Speaker 25: So, I mean, insurers are certainly stigling higher premiums in 1516 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 25: high risk areas. The report that we've pulled together really 1517 01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,559 Speaker 25: is to provide the evidence about where the risk is 1518 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,439 Speaker 25: and how it's increasing, so that communities, insurers, others can 1519 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 25: make informed decisions. 1520 01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that they can basically what they can charge 1521 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 3: you more for being in one of these areas basically. 1522 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,000 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1523 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 25: Well, I think it's about being transparent about the risks. 1524 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,240 Speaker 25: And then what we do with that is you know 1525 01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 25: a different question. 1526 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 3: So what do you think happens? Is it just a 1527 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,639 Speaker 3: case of the insurer's pricing it's so high that eventually 1528 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 3: people have to sell. 1529 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 25: Well, the report itself doesn't decide on funding. It just 1530 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 25: shows what's at risk and helps target investment so costs 1531 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 25: are wasted and exposure doesn't keep growing. Yeah, And really 1532 01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 25: it's there to also inform future spacial planning so that 1533 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 25: we can avoid repeating past exposure and making sure we're 1534 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 25: building in the right places in. 1535 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,040 Speaker 3: The coastal homes. Are we talking about when we're talking 1536 01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:22,519 Speaker 3: about these thirteen hundred coastal homes, are they the ones 1537 01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,920 Speaker 3: low lying by the beach excuse me? Or are they 1538 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,800 Speaker 3: ones even up on cliffs? 1539 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,680 Speaker 25: Mostly low lying coastal areas. But it's also you have 1540 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,840 Speaker 25: to think about where you're getting sea level rise, and 1541 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,679 Speaker 25: so there are some areas in what we are Wellington 1542 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,640 Speaker 25: and Eden where they are. You know, it's just the 1543 01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:44,320 Speaker 25: wrong combination effect is really so you're getting subsidence, sea 1544 01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 25: level rise, and it's bringing all those things together. 1545 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:49,519 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1546 01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,639 Speaker 3: Do you think people are awake enough to these risks 1547 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 3: when they're buying property. 1548 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 7: I'm not sure really. 1549 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,519 Speaker 25: I mean I bought my property ten or fifteen years ago. 1550 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:05,120 Speaker 25: I did look at the Limb report. That's one of 1551 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 25: the reasons why we need good accessible evidence and information 1552 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,360 Speaker 25: so that people can make an informed decision when they're 1553 01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:11,040 Speaker 25: buying property. 1554 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough. Hey, thank you very much, Allison. I 1555 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,880 Speaker 3: really appreciate Allison Collins, the Ministry for the Environment's Chief 1556 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,400 Speaker 3: science Advisor. I mean, you think about the just think 1557 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,360 Speaker 3: about that number, one hundred and eighty billion dollars, right, 1558 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,120 Speaker 3: So put just for a second. Think about yourself here. 1559 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 3: If you've got one of these. If let's say you go, 1560 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:28,720 Speaker 3: you buy yourself a nice who doesn't want a beach 1561 01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,920 Speaker 3: house right by the beach, you know, open the doors 1562 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 3: in the morning, get your cup of coffee, look at 1563 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:36,599 Speaker 3: the beach. Oh yeah, you run out for a little 1564 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 3: swim house. Isn't that just the dream? Okay, you've now 1565 01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 3: sunk two million. Frankly, if you're sinking only two million, 1566 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,559 Speaker 3: well done you. Let's say you're sinking five million. You're 1567 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,759 Speaker 3: sinking five million. What's going to happen to you? Because 1568 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 3: it's all adding up to one hundred and eighty billion 1569 01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 3: dollars and we cannot afford to buy everybody out, So 1570 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:54,960 Speaker 3: what do we do? So just I don't know, I 1571 01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 3: don't know. It's a conundrum, isn't it. It's a conundrum 1572 01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 3: of the time. Turns out yesterday when we said that 1573 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,519 Speaker 3: the money for Adrian Or was not really a restraint 1574 01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 3: of trade but actually more of a shut up clause, 1575 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 3: we were right. No surprise, the exit deal has been 1576 01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 3: it would appear proactively released and it says the Reserve Bank, 1577 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,880 Speaker 3: including its board and its individual members, will not disparage 1578 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 3: mister Orr and mister Or will not disparage the Reserve Bank, 1579 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,160 Speaker 3: It's board, individual members of the board, the Treasury, the 1580 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 3: Minister of Finance, or the government generally. So basically, I mean, 1581 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:31,760 Speaker 3: I don't know about you. I have a restraint of 1582 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 3: trade right in my contract. I am not paid for 1583 01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:39,400 Speaker 3: my restraint to trade. I am simply required to go 1584 01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 3: away and not work. So you don't actually have to 1585 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 3: pay Adrian to not do his job. It's kind of 1586 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,240 Speaker 3: built into how much he's paid already. I would have 1587 01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,640 Speaker 3: thought the fact that there is money, I mean, I 1588 01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 3: think you can see it in the way that it's structured. 1589 01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 3: And generally what happens is if you get paid out 1590 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,160 Speaker 3: the end of a job, right which many of us 1591 01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,040 Speaker 3: will have been done by now, where you get made 1592 01:11:58,040 --> 01:11:59,640 Speaker 3: redundant or whatever, and then they pay out, you get 1593 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 3: paid out immediately, and they're like, go away, I never 1594 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,640 Speaker 3: want to hear from you again. That kind of thing. 1595 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,240 Speaker 3: When you have a dollar that is hattler or in 1596 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:10,320 Speaker 3: this case four hundred and sixteen thousand dollars that's hanging 1597 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,599 Speaker 3: on a date for you to be a good boy 1598 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,040 Speaker 3: until that date, and then you get paid. That is 1599 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 3: basically designed to keep you quiet, isn't it? But we 1600 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:18,880 Speaker 3: can see this for what it is, can't we is 1601 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:20,920 Speaker 3: it is a shut up clause. It's don't say anything 1602 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 3: about anyway. Jordan Williams of the Taxpace Union, who actually 1603 01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:25,080 Speaker 3: I should have talked to you about this when he 1604 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,919 Speaker 3: was on before, said this is a classic gag agreement 1605 01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 3: designed to protect the reputations of the elite and shun 1606 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 3: public scrutiny. There you go. Twelve past six. 1607 01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:38,120 Speaker 2: It's the Heather Duper see Allen Drive Full Show podcast 1608 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 2: on my Heart Radio empowered by news dog Zebbi. 1609 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:44,600 Speaker 3: Heather, have you looked at the exchange rates since the 1610 01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,519 Speaker 3: OCR announcement? Meaning fuel and everything which is important will 1611 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,320 Speaker 3: be more expensive for Baz. Thank you very much for 1612 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 3: bringing us to this right now. It's quarter past six 1613 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,479 Speaker 3: and Remi Morgan Milford Asset Management is with us. Hi, 1614 01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:57,479 Speaker 3: remy Hi, Heather. How did the market react to that decision? Today? 1615 01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:03,479 Speaker 24: We saw markets readjusting their interest rate expectations lower in 1616 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,000 Speaker 24: response to that fifty basis point cut, and that was 1617 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,680 Speaker 24: because it wasn't fully priced in. We saw market expectations 1618 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,400 Speaker 24: for the November decision adjusting to fully price another twenty 1619 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:18,000 Speaker 24: five basis point cut, we saw wholesale swap rates offered lower. Notably, 1620 01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,120 Speaker 24: that key two year rate was down around seven basis 1621 01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 24: points shortly after the release. And the other key call 1622 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 24: out was that INZA dollar, which we can further immediately 1623 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:29,240 Speaker 24: dropping around one percent against the US dollar. 1624 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 10: Yeah. 1625 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 3: What about the INSIDEX have we seen any major moves there? 1626 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:33,479 Speaker 21: Yeah? 1627 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,880 Speaker 24: So over the last week leading into today, the INSIDEX 1628 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:40,320 Speaker 24: moved sharply upwards and finally above record highs. Again, it's 1629 01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 24: only taken about four years, and that was likely in 1630 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,240 Speaker 24: anticipation of more rate cuts to come following that week 1631 01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 24: GDP print that we had the other week. Some notable 1632 01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:53,280 Speaker 24: moves and share prices that are up around ten percent 1633 01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 24: over the past week are in cyclical retail companies like 1634 01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:01,600 Speaker 24: sky City and Katman, do brands, housing linked retirement companies 1635 01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 24: Ryman and Somerset, and real estate companies, and that larger 1636 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,040 Speaker 24: fifty basis point cut today further supported moves higher. We 1637 01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 24: saw the index closing zero point two five percent on 1638 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 24: the day, marking a rally of over two percent the 1639 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,519 Speaker 24: past week and closing on a fresh new high. 1640 01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:20,920 Speaker 3: How important do you think was the detail that the 1641 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,320 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank released for the market. 1642 01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 24: It was just a policy announcement this time, and not 1643 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,160 Speaker 24: a full statement with a new set of Reserve Bank 1644 01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,360 Speaker 24: forecast as we had back in August, And because it 1645 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:35,000 Speaker 24: wasn't fully clear to the market which way the RBNZ 1646 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,720 Speaker 24: would go, that made both the decision and the signals 1647 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,040 Speaker 24: that the release sent to the market even more important. Now, 1648 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,960 Speaker 24: the messaging signaled openness to cut further, and I think 1649 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,160 Speaker 24: that supported that market moved lower in wholesale interest rates, 1650 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,759 Speaker 24: which helps to give that intended transmission effect. 1651 01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:52,280 Speaker 3: Okay, where do we go from here? 1652 01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:57,200 Speaker 24: For companies in the insedex particularly those more interest rates 1653 01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,840 Speaker 24: sensitive and consumer focused companies, there might be some further 1654 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:04,040 Speaker 24: optimism to come as those lower interest rates continue to 1655 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:07,479 Speaker 24: transmit through the economy. But it is important to remember 1656 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,559 Speaker 24: that today's market reactions are a point in time reaction 1657 01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,320 Speaker 24: and developments in the data and the economy can see 1658 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,120 Speaker 24: markets move potentially either way. 1659 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 3: In response, Remy, thanks very much, appreciate it. Remy Morgan, 1660 01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,760 Speaker 3: Milford Asset Management. It's eighteen past. 1661 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,160 Speaker 1: Six ever due for Celan Heather. 1662 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,479 Speaker 3: If you look at the district plan of hut City Council, 1663 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 3: you'll see that the vast majority of properties on the 1664 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,559 Speaker 3: valley floor in many areas of the hills are marked 1665 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,559 Speaker 3: as flood prone. And this is despite the fact that 1666 01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:34,720 Speaker 3: they've never flooded in one hundred and fifty years. It's 1667 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 3: all about councils trying to mitigate any responsibility rather than 1668 01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:39,640 Speaker 3: actual risks, which may be the case Petter, But the 1669 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,200 Speaker 3: trouble that's going to happen here may well be right. 1670 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,960 Speaker 3: I mean, look, if you say to me, somebody says 1671 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,840 Speaker 3: that this is that the whole world is going to flood. 1672 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,560 Speaker 3: I think the chances art's not going to flood. I 1673 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,440 Speaker 3: think we've lived long enough to know that an existential 1674 01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:56,320 Speaker 3: crisis might not really be an existential crisis. However, the 1675 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 3: trouble with these maps is now you ensure is going 1676 01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:01,280 Speaker 3: to look at it. Now they're going to price adjust 1677 01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,360 Speaker 3: your risk premium. And that's a pain, isn't it. That's 1678 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 3: gonna that's gonna get pricey, isn't it. 1679 01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:05,519 Speaker 21: Now? 1680 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,200 Speaker 3: Listen about this rebel league that obviously the rugby unions 1681 01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 3: around the world are freaking out about, I think and 1682 01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,400 Speaker 3: everybody has gone with the idea. And you would have 1683 01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,479 Speaker 3: heard say Zoe said it before, right the Golden rule 1684 01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 3: is that the gold rules. Here's a counter argument to that. 1685 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,439 Speaker 3: So it's been reported by the Sydney Morning Herald today 1686 01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,599 Speaker 3: that over in Ossie Pat Cummins and Travis Head, who 1687 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 3: are that what the captain and the deputy captain of 1688 01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,719 Speaker 3: their their cricket team. Both of these guys were offered 1689 01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,640 Speaker 3: nearly ten million dollars a year to each quit Australian 1690 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 3: cricket and then go play an overseas T twenty franchise 1691 01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,040 Speaker 3: leagues full time, which would have in both cases been 1692 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,240 Speaker 3: a really significant pay rise for each of them. Generally, 1693 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,600 Speaker 3: Ossie players apparently even you know, and this is the 1694 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 3: ones at the top, will earn about one point five 1695 01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 3: million dollars a year from their national contracts. Cummins gets 1696 01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,640 Speaker 3: a bit more, he gets about three million because you 1697 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,920 Speaker 3: put his captaincy stipend into account and so on. But 1698 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,479 Speaker 3: even for him paid the most three million to ten 1699 01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:05,080 Speaker 3: million dollars must have been incredibly tempting. Both of them 1700 01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,760 Speaker 3: said no, and they said no because they are so 1701 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 3: committed to the national team. Now, I'm not naive and 1702 01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:13,080 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to the 1703 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 3: cricket guys over there and they were like, this is 1704 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 3: what we've been offered. Can you pay us more? And 1705 01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 3: got a bit more, you know, deuce that lemon, just 1706 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,960 Speaker 3: a little bit more. That wouldn't surprise me. But there's 1707 01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 3: no way that Australian cricket closed the gap between three 1708 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,479 Speaker 3: million and ten million, you know what I mean. So 1709 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 3: there is an element of wanting to play for your 1710 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 3: country anyway. So even though the Rugby League the Rebel 1711 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,360 Speaker 3: League has managed to sign up apparently two hundred players 1712 01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,600 Speaker 3: around the world, including apparently Roger Tui Vasashek, who is 1713 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 3: being reported in Australia as absolutely definitely going to go 1714 01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 3: and play for the Saudi League. Even though they've managed 1715 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 3: to get that many, there will still be a lot 1716 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,680 Speaker 3: of players who want to wear the black jersey or 1717 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:48,880 Speaker 3: the gold jersey or the green jersey or whatever it is. 1718 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,920 Speaker 3: So money doesn't always rule, does it. Six twenty Hey, 1719 01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,599 Speaker 3: I've got big news for both business and nature lovers here. 1720 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,839 Speaker 3: One New Zealand has just teamed up with the Department 1721 01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,479 Speaker 3: of Conservation in a partnership that's all about tecting New 1722 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:04,639 Speaker 3: Zealand's unique biodiversity using the power of technology. So DOC 1723 01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 3: has named one New Zealand a new national conservation partner 1724 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 3: in a collaboration that's expected to direct about fourteen million 1725 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,320 Speaker 3: dollars into supporting and protecting nature over the coming years. 1726 01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,120 Speaker 3: And thanks to one New Zealand's cutting edge satellite to 1727 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 3: Seal tech, what it means is dock rangers will soon 1728 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,639 Speaker 3: have better connectivity, which will enable safer fieldwork and faster 1729 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,759 Speaker 3: data collection and smarter decisions in some of New Zealand's 1730 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,719 Speaker 3: most remote places. So, for example, One New Zealand satellite 1731 01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 3: text is already proving really invaluable in Paste, where the 1732 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 3: dock rangers protect the kei we. It allows them to 1733 01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 3: keep in touch with base, receive the weather updates, ask 1734 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,200 Speaker 3: for help if they need it. As One New Zealand 1735 01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,640 Speaker 3: CEO Jason Powers says, this is about using technology to 1736 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,720 Speaker 3: help preserve our natural heritage. It's a powerful combo of 1737 01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:50,599 Speaker 3: business smarts and environmental care, better connectivity, better conservation. When 1738 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 3: win for New Zealand, ever do for ze Islands. Heather, 1739 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,360 Speaker 3: I've seen this report and it's incredibly inaccurate. It states 1740 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:00,840 Speaker 3: that app this is the flood prone. It states that 1741 01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,840 Speaker 3: our property is in a floodplain. We're thirty meters above 1742 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,599 Speaker 3: the Gray River. Now, if that river comes up thirty meters, 1743 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,919 Speaker 3: the west coast is going to be wiped out. Basically, 1744 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 3: it's very very inaccurate. Ben, thank you for that. I 1745 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,320 Speaker 3: feel like a lot of people will believe the thirty 1746 01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,720 Speaker 3: meters that's an ext oftential crisis. As now, what have 1747 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:19,840 Speaker 3: I said to you in the past about weird things 1748 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,479 Speaker 3: happening in Dunedin. I've got another case of weird things 1749 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 3: happening in Dunedin, this time road rage that is just wild. 1750 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:32,160 Speaker 3: So what happened is yesterday in the City's CBD at 1751 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:36,080 Speaker 3: about ten to one in the afternoon, right, So it's 1752 01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 3: like at the end of lunchtime, a twenty four year 1753 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,439 Speaker 3: old driver stops at the red light at Queen's Garden 1754 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,679 Speaker 3: and toats at the vehicle in front of her because 1755 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 3: the lights had changed. An old mate in the car 1756 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,799 Speaker 3: in front hadn't gone off, which is just like, guys, 1757 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,680 Speaker 3: it's a reasonable thing to's polite. I'm assuming she she 1758 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,479 Speaker 3: might have gone, but you never know. I mean, there's 1759 01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 3: a difference in tone, right Anyway, the one in the 1760 01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,600 Speaker 3: car ahead is a forty one year old woman, so 1761 01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:02,280 Speaker 3: we've got ladies here. So The forty one year old 1762 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 3: woman then starts driving like a nut. She drives slowly, 1763 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:08,120 Speaker 3: then she speeds up, drives slowly, then she speeds up, 1764 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,360 Speaker 3: then she gestures. Then she won't let the driver pass 1765 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,559 Speaker 3: it just being a complete like you know, you're not 1766 01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 3: proud of that behavior, are you, forty one year old lady. 1767 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,439 Speaker 3: So both vehicles then pull over at Highgate because they've 1768 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:18,920 Speaker 3: both had a guts full and they think we're gonna 1769 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,080 Speaker 3: take this to the next level. They pull over at Highgate. 1770 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 3: The older woman gets out of This is where it 1771 01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,120 Speaker 3: gets weird. The older woman gets out of her vehicle 1772 01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:28,800 Speaker 3: starts assaulting the twenty four year old victim, punches her 1773 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,720 Speaker 3: multiple times, throws her to the ground, pulls her hair, 1774 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,400 Speaker 3: and then kicks her as well. No surprise, the older 1775 01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 3: woman has been arrested by the police in charge with 1776 01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,559 Speaker 3: with assault with intent to injure.

So I'm a little iffy on 1806 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 3: the music because you know, talking heads, hidden miss. You know, 1807 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,400 Speaker 3: Paramore always a miss. So that's a bit kind of 1808 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,040 Speaker 3: h for me. But hey, it's roll Dahal, it's the 1809 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:21,960 Speaker 3: Twits and it's going to be available to watch in 1810 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 3: just over a week on Netflix on October seventeen.

I just pump that up a little bit. 1812 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:31,680 Speaker 3: I'm not even sure that this was a hit. 1813 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 7: You like, technically it was a hit, but. 1814 01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,200 Speaker 3: Or is it a miss? Hither the R three sixty 1815 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,479 Speaker 3: will be the final resting for the aging rugby stars. 1816 01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,280 Speaker 3: It'll be like a seniors tournament. You're wrong, Roger to I. 1817 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,760 Speaker 3: Vasashek is not an aging rugby star. He still fit 1818 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:49,000 Speaker 3: and you still want to watch it? 1819 01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:49,960 Speaker 10: All right? 1820 01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,920 Speaker 3: You're going to talk about the banking legislation next stand by. 1821 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:54,920 Speaker 3: Looks like New Zealand First is going to handbreak the 1822 01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:56,720 Speaker 3: government's plans. There newstalksz B. 1823 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,519 Speaker 9: Three moment. 1824 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,200 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1825 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,160 Speaker 2: The Business Hour where the head dup c Allen and 1826 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:16,200 Speaker 2: mas for insurance Investments and Huy Saber and you're in 1827 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,040 Speaker 2: good hands news talks b. 1828 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:27,680 Speaker 1: Where you're coming on them? All right? 1829 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:29,640 Speaker 3: We have Gavin Gray out of the UK with us 1830 01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:31,599 Speaker 3: in ten minutes time. Right now it's twenty four away 1831 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,560 Speaker 3: from seven. Ask Scot Simpson's banking reforms in Trouble's the 1832 01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 3: question that a lot of people are asking right now 1833 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,360 Speaker 3: because yesterday ASB settled a class action claim against the 1834 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,760 Speaker 3: bank for one hundred and thirty five million dollars. The 1835 01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,599 Speaker 3: class action still stands against A and Z. They are 1836 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,400 Speaker 3: going to fight it and they are the only bank 1837 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,160 Speaker 3: therefore that is in need of this retrospective bailout. Through 1838 01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 3: the changes in the Triple CFA, there is now a 1839 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 3: suggestion it's not going to happen because New Zealand first 1840 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,920 Speaker 3: might be a handbreak. Kent Dunstan Dustin rather is the 1841 01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,719 Speaker 3: Banking Reform Coalition convener and with us hih keent. 1842 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:03,640 Speaker 27: Evening hither, how are you very well? 1843 01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 3: Thank you Dad? Does it look to you like ASB 1844 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:07,639 Speaker 3: may have settled here because they can see the law 1845 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:08,840 Speaker 3: change is not coming. 1846 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,680 Speaker 27: Well, I mean you'd have to look at it from 1847 01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,960 Speaker 27: the point of view of the bank and say, you know, 1848 01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:16,800 Speaker 27: they're not in the business of handing out one hundred 1849 01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:18,680 Speaker 27: and thirty five million dollars for the fun of it. 1850 01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,479 Speaker 27: If there was a law change coming that was going 1851 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 27: to get them off the hoot, then surely they'd wait 1852 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:26,559 Speaker 27: for that. So I think, you know, to the untutored observer, 1853 01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,840 Speaker 27: we'd have to say that the odds that they're going 1854 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:33,160 Speaker 27: to get the legislation that they wanted through Minister Simpson 1855 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 27: look pretty remote. And you know, when they weigh up 1856 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:39,519 Speaker 27: the odds, they've decided that paying up now is better 1857 01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 27: than fighting it out in court in much And. 1858 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,880 Speaker 3: So what is your vibe are you hearing that New 1859 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 3: Zealand First is the problem They're going to kill this 1860 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 3: this law change. 1861 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,600 Speaker 27: Well, I think it was pretty apparent from when the 1862 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,200 Speaker 27: bill went to Select Committee that New Zealand First were 1863 01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 27: pretty skeptical, right But because and if you look at 1864 01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,200 Speaker 27: the bill, it really doesn't do that much other than 1865 01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 27: provide this retrospective law change. And no matter how we 1866 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,040 Speaker 27: slice and dicee that it's pretty toxic to making to 1867 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 27: be making retrospective law changes that you know, benefit these 1868 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,040 Speaker 27: large banks. After all, AMZ hasn't yet settled. It would 1869 01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 27: be the only bank that is going to get the 1870 01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 27: benefit from this law change. We're talking about the largest 1871 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:21,960 Speaker 27: bank in the country that had a profit of more 1872 01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:25,880 Speaker 27: than two billion dollars you know, last year. If anyone 1873 01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 27: needs a handout, it sure as an am Z. 1874 01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 3: Now, so I'm taking it from the way that you've 1875 01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,320 Speaker 3: just answered that question that you're not a huge fan 1876 01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:33,599 Speaker 3: of this. 1877 01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:38,280 Speaker 27: Well, you know, I don't think that you know, a 1878 01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:41,760 Speaker 27: retrospective law change is never good, right, I mean, it 1879 01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,599 Speaker 27: undermines the rule of law. And we are talking about 1880 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 27: a case that was before the courts, and after all, 1881 01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 27: you know, the legislation would only affect cases between twenty 1882 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:55,080 Speaker 27: fifteen and twenty nineteen because the law changed after twenty nineteen, 1883 01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 27: and that means that these things aren't going to come 1884 01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,439 Speaker 27: around again. So it looked pretty clear that really it 1885 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,000 Speaker 27: was for the benefit of and am Z. And there's 1886 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,760 Speaker 27: a lot of hand waving about it, but fundamentally it 1887 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:09,320 Speaker 27: was a bad law and we shouldn't underestimate the degree 1888 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:12,519 Speaker 27: to which this is a huge political loss to the 1889 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:16,840 Speaker 27: Bankers Association. I mean, they have a compliant minister in 1890 01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,360 Speaker 27: the former Minister Simpson. They seem to have more lobbyists 1891 01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 27: running around Willington Flees on a dog and yet all 1892 01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:26,880 Speaker 27: armed with excess cards. Yet yet it seems that they 1893 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,880 Speaker 27: can't get this bill across the line. Because if they 1894 01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,200 Speaker 27: could get the bill across the line, well why did 1895 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 27: ASB need to write a check for one hundred and 1896 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:34,639 Speaker 27: thirty five million? 1897 01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 3: Now, well, they are coming up against equally experienced lobbyists, 1898 01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:37,680 Speaker 3: aren't they. 1899 01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 27: Well I'm not sure there's actually that many lobbyists on 1900 01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 27: the side of consumers running around Parliament. So you know, 1901 01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,479 Speaker 27: I really think this is a victory for common sense 1902 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,640 Speaker 27: and I think that there is a bit of a 1903 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,160 Speaker 27: shout out to New Zealand first on this one, because 1904 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:57,120 Speaker 27: without one of the coalition partners standing against it, surely 1905 01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 27: this would have just proceeded through Select Committee and into 1906 01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:01,759 Speaker 27: law and the banks would be off the hooks. 1907 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,200 Speaker 3: So is here not an argument to be made, though, 1908 01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:08,599 Speaker 3: Kent that this is a chancing of the arm by 1909 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,760 Speaker 3: the lawyer who's doing this, because if the law has 1910 01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,400 Speaker 3: been changed, right, because it was obviously not a great 1911 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:17,240 Speaker 3: great piece of legislation, he's seen an opportunity. 1912 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,840 Speaker 27: Well yeah, look, this is always the balancing, isn't it. 1913 01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,360 Speaker 27: And I do think Scott Russell, you know, the lawyer 1914 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:27,160 Speaker 27: who's been leading this irrespective of the merits of this 1915 01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,400 Speaker 27: particular case, has really done the country a bit of 1916 01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:33,320 Speaker 27: a service because we do not have any enabling legislation 1917 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 27: for these class actions in New Zealand. And so, as 1918 01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,200 Speaker 27: he points out, you know, he's spent the last four 1919 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,439 Speaker 27: years fighting about how this process is going to work. 1920 01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 27: So they've been talking about the process rather than the 1921 01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:48,599 Speaker 27: merits of the case itself. And this is the first 1922 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:52,040 Speaker 27: time really this has succeeded. And so what he's done 1923 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:56,080 Speaker 27: is is opened the door for groups of consumers to 1924 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 27: finally be able to hold large corporates, particularly large multinational 1925 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 27: to account in the courts. And it's hard to see 1926 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 27: that as a bad thing. 1927 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,640 Speaker 3: Kent too, Do you think, though, let's talk about the 1928 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 3: merits of the case really quickly and the available time 1929 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:10,920 Speaker 3: that I have. Do you think, though, it is fair 1930 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 3: that the banks are being lumped with a payout as 1931 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:14,719 Speaker 3: big as this for what they have done. 1932 01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 27: Well, you know their banks, so yes, I do. In 1933 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 27: the seas that they have all of the money in 1934 01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:23,879 Speaker 27: the world. They know, you know, they made a mistake. 1935 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,719 Speaker 27: And let's face it, who doesn't think that AMZ can't 1936 01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,439 Speaker 27: afford a new computer to get this kind of stuff. 1937 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:29,760 Speaker 18: Right. 1938 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 27: They have all the money in the world. They can 1939 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:33,679 Speaker 27: hire as many staff as they need, they can buy 1940 01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,960 Speaker 27: all of the IT systems that have ever been created. 1941 01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:37,880 Speaker 27: And if they still manage to get it wrong, we'll 1942 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:39,240 Speaker 27: surely they should be on the hook for that. 1943 01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:40,880 Speaker 3: Kent, it's good to talk to you.

It's all about the orbit. Lord. Tonight, 1953 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 3: it's going to rise between eight forty in the north 1954 01:29:11,479 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 3: and nine to fifty in in a cargo. Cheers Erran 1955 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,599 Speaker 3: So Aaron, thank you. But also do you not find 1956 01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:19,880 Speaker 3: that fascinating that the difference between the north and the 1957 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 3: south is like an hour ten Just I suppose we 1958 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 3: have a long country. It's a very long country when 1959 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,640 Speaker 3: you think about it. But yeah, an hour ten so 1960 01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:30,320 Speaker 3: I could call it from up nor a moon's rising 1961 01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:32,759 Speaker 3: and or take an hour ten before. Anyway, you understand 1962 01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:35,920 Speaker 3: how time works. Okay, So have you read if you've 1963 01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,080 Speaker 3: been following what's going on with the Mildi Party, And 1964 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:40,120 Speaker 3: I think you should because Barry Sober, who's been around 1965 01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:41,840 Speaker 3: for a very long time and has watched politics for 1966 01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:45,040 Speaker 3: a long time, said today this looks like a party 1967 01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:47,080 Speaker 3: that is falling apart, so keep an eye on it. 1968 01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:51,000 Speaker 3: If you're interested. You should read Audrey Young's piece which 1969 01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:52,680 Speaker 3: is in the Herald today, which goes some way to 1970 01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 3: explaining a little bit of what is going on here. Interesting, 1971 01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:59,639 Speaker 3: she says, the reason that there's been this breakdown between 1972 01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 3: Muddy Men or Cuppa Kinghey, who was the whip and 1973 01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:03,960 Speaker 3: then had the whip taken off her and then her son, 1974 01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:06,439 Speaker 3: who was running the protest movement aligned to the party, 1975 01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:09,280 Speaker 3: has now broken away. The reason that she lost her job, 1976 01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:11,760 Speaker 3: says Audrey, is for a couple of reasons which we 1977 01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,919 Speaker 3: hadn't known about before. Number One, she went in June 1978 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,080 Speaker 3: on an interparliamentary trip to Japan's parliament with Brownlee and 1979 01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,920 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of other MPs, and the Maori Party 1980 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 3: was cross with her because they thought that that was 1981 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:26,679 Speaker 3: a luxury that was inconsistent with the party's co Pappa. 1982 01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,439 Speaker 3: The second reason that she's got in trouble with the 1983 01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:33,160 Speaker 3: party is that some party members in the regions were 1984 01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,559 Speaker 3: recently sounded out about the possibility of Kappa Kingy becoming 1985 01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:39,240 Speaker 3: a future leader, and that found its way back to 1986 01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:42,559 Speaker 3: the leadership group. Anyway, if you then follow what happens next, 1987 01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:45,120 Speaker 3: we find out, which is she has her job taken 1988 01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:47,120 Speaker 3: off for everybody's gone quiet and they're all fighting with 1989 01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,519 Speaker 3: each other. And then yesterday there are all these rumors 1990 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:53,280 Speaker 3: going around online about Maria men or Cuppa Kingy blowing 1991 01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:57,599 Speaker 3: her electric budget by like a lot, a lot lot, 1992 01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,080 Speaker 3: and that somehow finds its way into into the public sphere. 1993 01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,400 Speaker 3: She then in that TVNZ interview says, well, it can 1994 01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:05,720 Speaker 3: only have come from the party. The parties leaked against me, 1995 01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 3: so you know, piece all the dots together and let's 1996 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,240 Speaker 3: see how this plays out. Interestingly, they were at Parliament 1997 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:13,519 Speaker 3: today but you know, we've got nothing. I don't know 1998 01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:15,720 Speaker 3: what happened. Then no one appears to have asked them 1999 01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,320 Speaker 3: any questions. We'll see if we can get We've got 2000 01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:19,400 Speaker 3: a bit of time. We'll see if we can find 2001 01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 3: out what happened seventeen away from seven croating. 2002 01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:23,640 Speaker 1: The numbers and getting the results. 2003 01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:28,120 Speaker 2: It's Heather dupic Ellen with the Business Hour and MAS 2004 01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,439 Speaker 2: for Insurance Investments. 2005 01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 1: And Quie Saber, you're in good hands. News Talk said, be. 2006 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,439 Speaker 3: Call me efficient or call me efficient. But I've got 2007 01:31:35,479 --> 01:31:37,200 Speaker 3: the answer for you. Actually, I just called one of 2008 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 3: our awesome, awesome press gallery journos. So what happened today 2009 01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,880 Speaker 3: is that the Maori Party, which has become apparently the 2010 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:47,120 Speaker 3: pattern of behavior, did not walk across the bridge. Now, 2011 01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:49,719 Speaker 3: if you know how politics works, right, that walking across 2012 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:51,439 Speaker 3: the bridge bit is where they come to the black 2013 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:54,600 Speaker 3: and white tiles dinging, and the politicians are answering the 2014 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:56,880 Speaker 3: ding ding ding, and the parliamentary bewels are going off 2015 01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,920 Speaker 3: that thing as they walk into the house. There are 2016 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,920 Speaker 3: ways to get into the house, into the debating chamber 2017 01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,479 Speaker 3: without having to go across there and come across the media. 2018 01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:08,240 Speaker 3: So if you really want to avoid the media, you 2019 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:09,800 Speaker 3: can do it. And this is what they've taken to 2020 01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:11,680 Speaker 3: doing because they don't have to speak to you, and 2021 01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:13,880 Speaker 3: if they do, apparently the last time they did come 2022 01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,599 Speaker 3: across was the time when was it Aori just spoke 2023 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 3: to at el anyway, so that happened tomorrow they're doing tomorrow. 2024 01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:22,360 Speaker 3: We have to keep an eye out because tomorrow they're 2025 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:26,280 Speaker 3: doing the party reset. So they were I'm not sure 2026 01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:28,240 Speaker 3: as to whether the media were going to be allowed 2027 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 3: to go to the party reset or not, but media 2028 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:33,040 Speaker 3: are now not definitely not allowed to go to the 2029 01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,160 Speaker 3: party reset, and they're going to do a live stream. 2030 01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:36,960 Speaker 3: So now you know what the Germans doing at four 2031 01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:39,439 Speaker 3: point thirty with her day, the rest of us are 2032 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,960 Speaker 3: listening to radio, to news talk, said b and she 2033 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:44,360 Speaker 3: is going to be listening to the Maori Party for 2034 01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:46,320 Speaker 3: all of her sins and trying to figure out what's 2035 01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:49,000 Speaker 3: going on. And I'm not entirely sure. I suspect given 2036 01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:51,120 Speaker 3: they're doing a reset, given all the drama with Kappa 2037 01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:53,920 Speaker 3: Kingie and Kapa Kingi's son and Taku, the Ferris and 2038 01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:55,840 Speaker 3: everything that's going on, I think they may have to 2039 01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:58,160 Speaker 3: address a little bit of that. Anyway, that'll be interesting 2040 01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,680 Speaker 3: tomorrow twelve away from seven downy UK correspondents with that, 2041 01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 3: Hello Gail, Hello, there, Gail. The spy case and the 2042 01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:08,559 Speaker 3: government's involvement is fascinating. Run me through it. 2043 01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:13,760 Speaker 26: Oh, it's been rumbling on for some time. So it's 2044 01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:17,200 Speaker 26: now been revealed that the case against two men, a 2045 01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:21,240 Speaker 26: teacher and a parliamentary researcher, accused of spying for China 2046 01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:25,519 Speaker 26: collapsed because the Director of Public Prosecutions, which is the 2047 01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:30,479 Speaker 26: UK's most senior prosecutor, couldn't get any evidence from the government. 2048 01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:34,280 Speaker 26: He said there was evidence to prosecute when the case 2049 01:33:34,400 --> 01:33:39,040 Speaker 26: was originally brought last April. However, and precedent has been 2050 01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:42,720 Speaker 26: set by another spying case which has raised the threshold 2051 01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:48,360 Speaker 26: for a conviction. So under the last government, their assessment 2052 01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:53,080 Speaker 26: of China was that it was an epoch defining challenge 2053 01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:56,880 Speaker 26: of a country, but nothing more. To be able to 2054 01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 26: get a case for spying now you have to have 2055 01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:08,680 Speaker 26: evidence which represents China as a threat to national security 2056 01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:13,839 Speaker 26: at the time of the alleged defenses, which the previous government, 2057 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 26: which is when these alleged defenses took place, and both 2058 01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:21,240 Speaker 26: men deny they deny the charges that wasn't available. Therefore 2059 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:22,800 Speaker 26: case thrown out. 2060 01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:24,640 Speaker 3: That's it, well can they not? 2061 01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:24,920 Speaker 10: Though? 2062 01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 23: This? 2063 01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,439 Speaker 3: So does it have to they have been at the time, 2064 01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,240 Speaker 3: like concurrent with the alleged spying, the government had to 2065 01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:32,479 Speaker 3: have seen China as as some sort of a national 2066 01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,280 Speaker 3: security threat or can they now declare them the national 2067 01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:39,080 Speaker 3: security threat thereby allowing them to take the spying case. 2068 01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:42,960 Speaker 26: No, the Prime ministers, the Kistoma has said that's just 2069 01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,400 Speaker 26: not possible. It has to be at the time, and 2070 01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,000 Speaker 26: of course he's a lawyer and that's what's been decided. 2071 01:34:50,080 --> 01:34:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, he would know. Okay, what's going on with this 2072 01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:54,080 Speaker 3: company that's been housing the asylum seekers. 2073 01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,719 Speaker 26: Yeah, as you know asylum seekers, and the housing asylum 2074 01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:02,200 Speaker 26: seekers has caused an up brought here with protests outside 2075 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:06,559 Speaker 26: asylum seeking hotels. And this is a company called Clear 2076 01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:10,519 Speaker 26: Springs Ready Homes, which supports around thirty thousand asylum seekers 2077 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,640 Speaker 26: both in England and Wales, and its subcontracts to hotels 2078 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:18,400 Speaker 26: for many of the asylum seekers to provide accommodation for 2079 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:21,479 Speaker 26: about half that number. It began its contract under the 2080 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:25,320 Speaker 26: previous government in twenty nineteen, and it's now been revealed 2081 01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:28,320 Speaker 26: that over the past five years they've made three hundred 2082 01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:33,719 Speaker 26: and sixty million dollars in profit, despite claims of terrible 2083 01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:37,680 Speaker 26: conditions at the hotel it uses, I mean charities, have 2084 01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:44,759 Speaker 26: you know publicly shown inedible food, miserable conditions that people 2085 01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:48,800 Speaker 26: are living in. However, it's one of three companies which 2086 01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,840 Speaker 26: has a ten year contract with the Home Office to 2087 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:56,040 Speaker 26: provide accommodation for asylum seekers and the contracts is expected 2088 01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:59,960 Speaker 26: to be over a ten year period fourteen billion dollars. 2089 01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:04,360 Speaker 3: Wow, hey, but it's carry on. 2090 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 26: Sorry, I was just going to say I was shocked 2091 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:09,400 Speaker 26: at that figure.

She's a jack Russell. 2102 01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 26: Let me say so, anyone who's ever owned a Jack Russell? 2103 01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 26: Or no, they're very, very determined. So it was either 2104 01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:51,360 Speaker 26: five minutes outside in her very comfortable seat in the car, 2105 01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:55,000 Speaker 26: or the doors being pulled off the hinges. 2106 01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:58,479 Speaker 3: Yes, possibly that, or just saying to news Talks Drive, no, 2107 01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:00,840 Speaker 3: I can't I can't handle it now fair enough, Hey, Gail, 2108 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:02,120 Speaker 3: thank you so much as always, will talk to you 2109 01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:04,080 Speaker 3: again in a couple of days. Gale Downey in for 2110 01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:07,160 Speaker 3: Gavin Gray. Oh did you know? I didn't know this 2111 01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:09,320 Speaker 3: until day? Did you know that? The Americans don't call 2112 01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:12,200 Speaker 3: cludo cludo? They call it They just call it clue 2113 01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:17,120 Speaker 3: because Cludo is a portmanteau of Clue and Ludo, and 2114 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 3: Ludo is another board game, right, so they've they played 2115 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:22,600 Speaker 3: on Will's Clever, but the Americans don't have Ludo, so 2116 01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:25,320 Speaker 3: they ain't got no idea. They are just so confused 2117 01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:27,400 Speaker 3: about what's going on. So anyway, the reason I'm telling 2118 01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,200 Speaker 3: you this is because it's coming to Netflix. They're turning 2119 01:37:29,240 --> 01:37:31,800 Speaker 3: it into a game show and they're gonna have contestants 2120 01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:35,759 Speaker 3: complete mental and physical tasks while solving clues. And also 2121 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 3: they were already doing the same thing with Monopoly. So 2122 01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:39,800 Speaker 3: if you love your board games, who have you got 2123 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:42,320 Speaker 3: the time coming to you?

Have you seen the gunless James 2145 01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,920 Speaker 3: Bond posters? Have you seen them? So what happened was 2146 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:43,760 Speaker 3: like something stupid like James Bond Day on Sunday or 2147 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:48,320 Speaker 3: something and Amazon they released they for their Prime video 2148 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:51,360 Speaker 3: streaming site. They released all these posters of James Bond, 2149 01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:53,280 Speaker 3: but they're the old posters that we know, like the 2150 01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:55,640 Speaker 3: Doctor No poster where Sean Connery, you know the one, 2151 01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:57,680 Speaker 3: it's like it's famous. He's got his arms crossed, he's 2152 01:38:57,680 --> 01:39:00,040 Speaker 3: wearing a little polo shit, got his arms crossed and 2153 01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,160 Speaker 3: in the crook of one arm he's got in his hand, 2154 01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,320 Speaker 3: he's got a gun and he's leaning it. He's sort 2155 01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:07,679 Speaker 3: of resting it into the crease of his elbow. Well 2156 01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:10,679 Speaker 3: he's still doing that, but they photo shot the gun out, 2157 01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:13,479 Speaker 3: so he's just posing really weirdly with his arms crossed. 2158 01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:15,640 Speaker 3: And then of course there's the poster that is it 2159 01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,720 Speaker 3: features Pierce Brosnan from GoldenEye, and he's got on a 2160 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:22,439 Speaker 3: white shirt with a black waistcoat and he's sort of 2161 01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:25,800 Speaker 3: like slightly slightly looking kind of skew at the camera 2162 01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,479 Speaker 3: and in his he's got his hand up at his chin. 2163 01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 3: He's got really long gun coming out of his hand. No, 2164 01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,200 Speaker 3: the gun's gone, his hand's just there anyway. So they've 2165 01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:36,719 Speaker 3: got in trouble for that, because that's stupid. That's dumb. 2166 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:38,880 Speaker 3: I don't hate I mean, I don't you know guns. 2167 01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:40,320 Speaker 3: I don't want to be shot by a gun, but 2168 01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:43,439 Speaker 3: I don't hate looking at guns.
