New Darter on how 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: many of us have a tertiary qualification small flu It's 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: quite a lot, actually, Tom Phillips inquiry starts today. Mark 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: and Jinny line it up for election year in politics 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: Whennsday Richard Arnold, Steve Price, they reflect an increasingly crazy world. Pasky, 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: welcome to the day. Seven past six. Yes were standing 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: by for the election date today. Apparently it's not what 12 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: it was, of course, kind of like budget's really the suspense, 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: the scuttle, but the guessing game it's all gone. You 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: might remember Elbin Easy not having learned our list and 15 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: got himself in dreadful trouble last year. Remember that failed 16 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: to forecast date, so they guess and guest and second guest, 17 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 2: and then that flooding and the storms came, so it 18 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 2: delayed what was supposed to be an announcement. But that's 19 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: what you get when you're a power freaking you think 20 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 2: holding the cards counts for something. John Key put all 21 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: that to bed some years ago. You return from holiday 22 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: and the date latter part of the year, it'll be 23 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: basically you get on with life. I mean, short of 24 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: the government falling apart, elections should be scheduled at the 25 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: end of a three year term. Also soon apparently some 26 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: policy and perhaps this business of housing to be dealt 27 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: with specifically. The thinking is the Auckland issue needs to 28 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: be sorted. Elections, rightly or wrongly, are one and lost 29 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: in Auckland, and the government's two million house housing plan 30 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: is one of those ideas that one no one quite 31 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: gets and two freaks people out. When we had Counselor 32 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 2: Morris Williamson on last year, he suggested we ask Minister 33 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: Chris Bishop just where the two million figure came from, 34 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: because he could work it out. What we do know 35 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 2: is the Council were forced into agreeing to it. If 36 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: they didn't, that three house, three story on a regular 37 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: plot plan was a goer, and no one like that either, 38 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: And that, sadly is the trouble with housing in big cities. 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: No shortage of monas and issues, big shortage of solutions 40 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: and agreement around them. What I do know from personal 41 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: experience is having uncertainty in the market, which is what 42 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 2: we have kills enthusiasm and demand, and that's what the 43 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: government freaking out about. And quite rightly, what's going on 44 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: next door? You ask the agent. The agent doesn't know, 45 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: of course, no one knows. Could be nothing, could be 46 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: an eleven story headache in suburbia. Who's buying a house 47 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: next to that? Nightmare? And that is what the Bishop 48 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: plan has created, and that hopefully is what gets fixed 49 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: and fast. 50 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds. 51 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: Yes, it's Greenland via Darbos this morning. So we've got 52 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: two themes. Theme one is espoused by a mister Macron 53 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 2: or France. 54 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 3: It's ad will a shift towards a world without rules, 55 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: where international law is trampled and was the only law 56 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: that seems to matter is that of the strongest and 57 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 3: imperial ambitions are russurfacing. 58 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: So he's worried about international law. Is also wearing Biden 59 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: esque aviators with blue lenses, which took away from the 60 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: gravitas at the moment, but maybe that's just me. Then 61 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 2: Theme two, the glass half full of Europe is. 62 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 4: Going to look at its strength, look at its weaknesses. 63 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 4: Do you know a big swart analysis and decide what 64 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 4: do we need to do to be strong by ourselves, 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: to be more independent, to rely on the internal trade 66 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: that we do with each other. 67 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: Trump, who's due and Arbos today is still fizzing over 68 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 2: the first year of his two point zero experiment A year. 69 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 5: I don't think there's been a term like and I 70 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 5: don't think any president has had a better first year 71 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 5: than we've had in terms of success. 72 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: Incredible Trump. Then in London, the government's given the green 73 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: light of the Chinese to build that GAG GAINTU and embassy. 74 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: It's gone down well with the Tory. 75 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 6: China is infiltrating universities and businesses to acquire sensitive technology 76 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 6: as well as stealing it directly. Yet this government has 77 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 6: failed again and again to take the action needed. 78 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: Who's the woman going Dan, who's the security Minister? He's 79 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: as cool as with it. 80 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 7: All the collective work across UK intelligence agencies and HMG 81 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 7: departments to formulate a package of national security mitigations for 82 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 7: the site has been in our expert, professional and proportionate. 83 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: As for poor old David and as miss as the 84 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: ungrateful snot RAG of a kid who's gone ballistic is 85 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: causing one would imagine a lot of grief. 86 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 8: But I've always spoke about, you know, social media and 87 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 8: the power of social media, you know, for the good 88 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 8: and for the bad. 89 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,559 Speaker 9: You know, with the bad. 90 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 8: We've talked about with what kids can access these days, 91 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 8: and it can be it can be dangerous. 92 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: And that is News of the World in nineties. Next 93 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: where we were on the theme China, the Bank of 94 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: China one year five year prime rates unchanged. They thought 95 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: then maybe something was happening because their growth number wasn't 96 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: quite what they thought it would be four and a 97 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: half percent the other day. The other thing to watch 98 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: if you're interested in this sort of thing, there's a 99 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: regulatory concern growing international concern about the market action in China, 100 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: the Shanghai, the Shenzing, the Beijing. The turnover is gargantuan. 101 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 2: Regulatory tightening is suggesting an overheating of activity, So watch 102 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: that could be a red flag. Twelve past six, The. 103 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News talksb. 104 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: Trump Tante this Morning involves a threat of two hundred 105 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: percent tariffs on French wines because apparently Macron is going 106 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: to refuse to join the Board of Peace. Everyone's been 107 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: invited to I hope you got you to invite I've 108 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: been invited to join the Board of Piece, but you 109 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: don't want to hang out with Lukashenko and Putin obviously, 110 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: so Macron's going to turn it down as a result 111 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: of that. Trump's pactor said two hundred percent tariffs on 112 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: wine fifteen past six, I can generate Greg Smith, morning 113 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 2: to you morning, Mike. Now that is that services sector, 114 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: the final piece. You got the manufacturing, you got the confidence, 115 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: you got the GDP that that's what we were waiting. 116 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 10: For in them. 117 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 11: Indeed, there's some great news of in the service sector. 118 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,119 Speaker 11: So let's recall women and it read for two years nearly, 119 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 11: so we're finally broken through into expansion mode. So the 120 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 11: formance of services in next it's about fifty to fifty 121 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 11: one point five in December, so that's the first time 122 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 11: it's gone there for twenty one months, strongest reading since 123 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 11: twenty twenty three. It's still a little bit below the 124 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 11: long term average, but heading in the right direction. And 125 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 11: as you say, basically the recovery is broadening, and we 126 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 11: talked about their strengthen the manufacturing sector on Monday, So 127 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 11: upside risks now to gendp Mikes, that's good clearly where 128 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 11: we're on the men going into the end of twenty 129 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 11: twenty five and as good as we're seen now in 130 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 11: twenty twenty six. So I played a little bit of 131 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 11: a laggard. So that's been in contraction for twenty five 132 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 11: months consecutively, so that's probably a missing bit of the 133 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 11: puzzle at the moment. But yeah, labor markets they typically 134 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 11: do lag activity and other business service surveys show improvements, 135 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 11: so we're not quite in a boom just yet. But yeah, 136 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 11: the long wait for the service sector to move forward 137 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 11: is finally arrived, and yeah, it should strengthen the overall 138 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 11: economic recovery market. 139 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: Like fletchers or not. 140 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 12: They certainly did. 141 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 11: Yes, the flesh years up over two percent. So they're 142 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 11: selling the construction division. There's been obviously lots of talk 143 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 11: of that. They've had quite an inbounded interest actually, so 144 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 11: they have a good price for you with think this 145 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 11: is going to construction firm a global powerhouse Vincy Construction 146 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 11: minimum three fifteen million, that could rise to three thirty 147 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 11: four million, So I think, look, it's a broadly a 148 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 11: positive transaction. They're exiting a structurally low margin, high risk 149 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 11: business and let's face it has destroyed value for more 150 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 11: than a decade. It's consumed capital, it's absorbed cash, and 151 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 11: it's delivered some pretty nasty surprises along the way. So yeah, 152 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 11: they're executing on what they promise. Obviously, they had that 153 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 11: strategic review last year, the selling non core assets, and 154 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 11: I think my yellow earnings are just going to become 155 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 11: a bit cleaner and easier to forecast. They're not sort 156 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 11: of bidding for those large fixed price projects that they've 157 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 11: had problems with in the past. Seen aside fifty five 158 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 11: to sixty five million for probable future claims doesn't include 159 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 11: a condection center. That's the big cavit and some civil claims. 160 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 11: But I have to say, I think it clears the 161 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 11: decks a little bit. So, you know, got as much 162 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 11: uncertainly around legacy contracts like Welly Airport, and they're returning 163 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 11: to their strengths, you know, areas where they have scale, 164 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 11: price and power, more stable margin costs are going out. 165 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 11: It's twenty three workers going out of a total twelve 166 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 11: and a half thousand, and importantly for investors, Mike the 167 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 11: dividend in twenty seven becomes a lot more realistic debts 168 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 11: being paid down. And we've just got clean leverage. They're 169 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 11: still going to get the construction upturned leverage, Devia product 170 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 11: volumes and let's face it, history supports the strategy when 171 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 11: they sold Trailing and Australia volumes and performance improved. Doesn't 172 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 11: fix everything overnight, but it does go a long way 173 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 11: to doing so. This is a bit of an aside. 174 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 11: Bringing Vinci into the industry I think could actually increase competition. 175 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 11: You've got a global power play for a bit more 176 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 11: of a sophisticated approach to the pricing projects. 177 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 2: Should we so very well put this sea of read 178 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: I'm looking at in America? Is this are we're freaking 179 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: out about Davos and Greenland and Trump and all that 180 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. What's happening here? 181 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 13: Yeah? 182 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 11: Absolutely so. Yeah, market's sort of certainly risk off. So 183 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 11: it's Greenland, It's yeah, Devils is going to be very interesting. 184 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 10: I suppose. 185 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 11: Also, we're watching the Supreme Court decision, so the threat 186 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 11: over tariffs for Europe and vice versa. Could this all 187 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 11: be sort of put to put to rest by the 188 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 11: Supreme Court? So I think that's quite a pivotal thing 189 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 11: that investors will be looking at. But yeah, certainly selling 190 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 11: off markets don't like uncertainly and we've got that in 191 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 11: spades a little bit at the moment. But yeah, interesting 192 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 11: results over and i'd actually you have three m in 193 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 11: between all this. They are seen as a bit of 194 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 11: a bell whether they're not just post it notes, but 195 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 11: they're a bit of an industrial powerhouse and their earnings 196 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 11: were going to be closely watched. Sales six billion dollars. 197 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 11: Earnings also beat forecasts, but you know, the outlook disappointed bit. 198 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 11: So they're seeing growth of the year of just three percent. 199 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 11: So it tells us, Mike, global economy is still a 200 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 11: bit even. But we've got some bright spots. We know 201 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 11: about AI. They're doing well in the back of data 202 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 11: seeing and buildouts. Also my related renaissance in nuclear, so 203 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 11: that's now our narrative and they got exposure that through 204 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 11: niche technologies and new nuclear reactor builds. But yeah, this, 205 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 11: yes that the economy have all just a little bit patchy. 206 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 11: They're looking to exit some low growth businesses. Investor reaction 207 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 11: not great to three she is down seven percent. You'd 208 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 11: have to say border market weakness and Greenland. Part of 209 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 11: it also might were awaiting results from Netflix after ours. 210 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 11: Just a bit of new z. They have sweeten their 211 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 11: offer for Warner Bus Discovery. They really need to do 212 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 11: the steal. They made it all cash as opposed to 213 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 11: cash and stock. 214 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: Good shup. What are the numbers? 215 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 11: So yeah, there's a bit of red on the on 216 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 11: the US at the moment. So we've got the down 217 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 11: that's down one percent five hundred points four to eight 218 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 11: four eight four nine. These the people I've runder down 219 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 11: one point three percent, Nastick down one point three percent, 220 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 11: Fee one one hundred down point seven percent. In the UK, 221 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 11: Nick down one point one percent, a sex two hundred 222 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 11: straight down point seven percent. But Mike hate insie experty. 223 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 11: We held up a lot better than some good news 224 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 11: stories on Fletchers also Somerset. Actually we were flat thirty 225 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 11: five seven three. Oil up a dollar eight sixty spot 226 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 11: fifty two. What's sort of a negative for the markets 227 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 11: is good for gold. Gold's up seventy eight dollars a month. 228 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 11: The uncertainly four seven four nine allowance currencies fifty eight 229 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 11: point five key against the US up point eight percent, 230 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 11: the eighty six point seven up there as well. British 231 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 11: pound forty three point four. We're also high be half 232 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 11: the set and Japanese GM rapp point ninety two point three. 233 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 14: Yeah. 234 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: A great day, mate, catch up tomorrow. Appreciate it very much. 235 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: Greg Smith generate, generate of course wealth and key we 236 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: saber specialists. Tasking the Netflix is sort of interesting. As 237 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: he alluded to, it's an all cash bird. It was 238 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: a bit of this and a bit of that up 239 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 2: until now. So it's all cash this morning twenty seven 240 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: to seventy five. This for Warner Brothers, HBO, Max and 241 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: Warner Brothers Film Studio, so it's the library of films 242 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 2: they want. Paramount Skydars are also involved. They've got the 243 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: lawyers on board. The Warner Brothers boarder unanimously accepted the 244 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: amended offer. They've already twice recommended the scheerholders reject Paramounts hostile. 245 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: But so there's a bit of water to go under 246 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: the bridge. But let's see where that goes. Six twenty 247 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: one to News Talk ten. 248 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: The Vike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 249 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: by News Talks at Me. 250 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: Call me in her. But I've been fascinated about this 251 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 2: Australia scenario, not only the cockup of Albanizi and the 252 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: Royal Commission. But yesterday it was fascinating. Parliament was back. 253 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: You might want to ask why ours isn't, but Parliament 254 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: was back. They got their gun bill through. Now they 255 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: split the gun Bill and the hate speech Bill because 256 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 2: the whole thing's been a chaotic shambles. And that's on 257 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: Albanezi as well, and that's why I'm looking forward to 258 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: catching up with step later on. So the gun Bill 259 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: got through yesterday ninety six forty five, then ticked off 260 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: by the Senate, so that's done. Hate speech is a problem, 261 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: and this is what makes it fascinating. The lower house 262 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: got it up, but the Senate today the coalition has split, 263 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: so the Nationals, the country folk, they don't like the 264 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: look of it. So the Liberals went with it, along 265 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: with Labor. So is this the way the future for 266 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: Australian politics? But anyway, more from Steve Later six twenty. 267 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: Five, trending now to Chemiswells great savings every day. 268 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: Now sadly you can't avoid the Becker mess. Now if 269 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: you have or happen to have, or you don't care, 270 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: then I won't bore you with a finer details, but 271 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: in a nutshell, he's an entitled bratt. Sir David is 272 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: in Dabos trying his best. 273 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 8: What I've found personally, you know, especially with my kids 274 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 8: as well, use it for the right reasons, you know. 275 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 8: I've been able to use my platform and my following, 276 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 8: you know, for UNISEF and it's been the biggest tour 277 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 8: to make people aware of what's going on around the 278 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 8: world for children, and I've tried to do the same. 279 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 8: I've tried to do the same with my children to 280 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 8: educate them. They make mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. 281 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 8: That's how they learn. So that's what I tried to 282 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 8: teach my kids. But you know, you have to sometimes 283 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 8: let them make those mistakes as well. 284 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: Tell you what, there was a time, and it was 285 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: probably wasn't that I'm a mess of David Beckham fan. 286 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: It probably wasn't that long ago where he couldn't have 287 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: articulated that. So he's come of age in a way. 288 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: By the way, if you can be bothered, the internet's 289 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: literally littered at the moment with memes around inappropriate dancing, 290 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 2: if you know what I mean. The appears a large 291 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: becklash to towards the kid. This is comedian Catherine Ryan. 292 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 14: Like, it's complicated because you live your life in the public. 293 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 14: I fine, but I feel that he has benefited from 294 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 14: this a lot, and he doesn't seem to have the 295 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 14: measured emotional intelligence to go. In many ways, this has 296 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 14: been shit and I have felt controlled and they haven't 297 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 14: been able to make a lot amount of decisions. But 298 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 14: in many ways this has created me with a beautiful lay. 299 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: I think with age and experience, he will come to 300 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: live with a great deal of regret. This vauchet, I don't. 301 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: I think I pronounce it that way. But they've been 302 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: around since eighteen ninety nine, so they are very well established, 303 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: and I thought Greg put it very well. They have 304 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 2: a different, slightly different finesse to pricing projects, which is 305 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: probably why Fletchers don't want to build anything anymore, because 306 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: generally when they bet, it turns out poorly. I mean, 307 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: they've done a lot of good stuff. It just took 308 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of time and they lost money on 309 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: so they've sold off. Is there more to come? Is 310 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: what I want to know. And the other thing is 311 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: what materially changes in the construction market in this country 312 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: and is it for the better. We'll ask a few 313 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: of those questions. Put you directly after the news, which 314 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: is next. 315 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: You're used to TV, the newsmakers and the personalities, the 316 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: big names.

I think it's pretty good. 337 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 15: I mean, it's certainly a signal that delivering large scale 338 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 15: infrastructure in New Zealand now requires offshore capital. And you know, 339 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 15: it's certainly been very, very tough over the last few years, 340 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 15: and I think simply these guys. 341 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 16: Are just looking to move on their risks. 342 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 15: So I think it's not a bad thing for the industry, 343 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 15: that's for sure. 344 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: Are you confident that I'm trying to work out what 345 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: the message is. Is the message that you can't build 346 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: anything of substance in this country or a fletch is 347 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: just a bit useless and they had to get out 348 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: of it and someone else will do a better job. 349 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 15: It just means now like that, you know, modern construction 350 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 15: in New zealand's just a global capital gain. The locals 351 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 15: just don't want to take that risk, and it just 352 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 15: moves that risk over to a global the global company. 353 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 15: And this isn't you've we've had these global companies here before. 354 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 15: You've only got a look to Kaha Stadium in christ Church, 355 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 15: the metropolitsan Christach, all completed by global construction companies, and 356 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 15: you've got will Also remember that these guys also employ 357 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 15: a lot of locals, a huge amount of locals. So 358 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 15: I don't see this as bad news as good news. 359 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 15: There might be some better flow through with these projects. 360 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a bit of text action on hub 361 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: which they already are and to advance already in the country. 362 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 2: Are they too big? Is there is still some good 363 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: competition in the marketplace or not? 364 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 15: It should open up some more competition. It might put 365 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 15: a little squeeze on those tier two type companies, and 366 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 15: that just means that they might have to be a 367 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 15: little bit more competitive. And that's only because they might 368 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 15: be a little bit more need to be a bit 369 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 15: more organized. But again, like I think it's a great 370 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 15: thing for the secretor anything that creates a bit more 371 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 15: competition helps the end. Newsers got to be a great. 372 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 2: Things for Gay Fletcher's finished selling stuff. 373 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 15: Do you know, I think all Fletchers have decided to 374 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 15: do is but they're really great at their distribution, right, 375 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 15: you know, they've got Winnston and will Boards, They've got 376 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 15: placemakers the great company to deal with. I think what 377 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 15: they're just trying to do is stick to them. They 378 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 15: know these companies are far more profitable than the n 379 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 15: ground companies, so I. 380 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 17: Think they're just making a great business decision to be honest. 381 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: Good stuff, Carl, nice to catch up, go well, we'll 382 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 2: catch up during the year, I'm sure. Carl Taylor, who's 383 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 2: the CEO of the Combined Building Supplies co Op, twenty 384 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven pasking business related matters. The DP 385 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: goal thing I'm trying to get I'm not trying to 386 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: get my head around. It's not their heart. It has 387 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: landed in front of the Commerce Commission though, So NDIP, 388 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 2: if you missed it over summer, DP are going to 389 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 2: merge with Goal. We're going to end up with two 390 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: hundred and forty service stations around the country. Now, we've 391 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: got two things going on with the Commerce Commission. Number One, 392 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 2: that means less competition, doesn't it There are fewer players 393 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: in the market because two becomes one. That on the 394 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: headline side of the equation I would assume is a 395 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: problem for the Commerce Commission. But their argument INDP and 396 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: goals argument is bigger, more efficient. More efficiency leads to 397 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 2: better pricing, more competition in the market, So is it 398 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: more competition or less competition? So anyway, if you're interested 399 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 2: in that third of February, you submit your comments and 400 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 2: then by the sixteenth of March the commcom going to 401 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 2: do something about it. So I'll follow that with a 402 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: great deal of interest. 403 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: Nineteen two the Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on 404 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks EP. 405 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 2: The bleakness that is the British economy continues to keep well. 406 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 2: Mind you, they had some growth the other day for 407 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: the last three months of last year. That term was 408 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 2: a little bit better than everyone thought. But wage growth 409 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 2: numbers out this morning guard down to four and a 410 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 2: half percent, which is still beating inflation, so they're still okay. 411 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 2: This is for September through November. But the problem here, 412 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: and this is the problem with labour governments around the world. 413 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 2: Generally speaking, private business wage growth is at its lowest 414 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: level in five years and near the ones who drive 415 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 2: the economy. Of course, in the public sector it's the 416 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: exact opposite. So labour's handing out money. It's all the 417 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 2: train drivers and the bus drivers and those sort of people. 418 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 2: Number of people on company rolls though, is down one 419 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five thousand, particular decline in shops and hospa. 420 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: And that's where the whole pub thing that we were 421 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: talking about with Rod yesterday comes into the services sectors 422 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: in real trouble sixteen. 423 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: Two International correspondence with ends at Eye Insurance Peace of 424 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: Mind for New Zealand Business tired. 425 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 2: Richard Arnold, good morning you good?

He says it'll be an interesting meeting, no 432 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 13: doubt about that. Right this after he slammed his NATO 433 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 13: partners in France, Britain, Denmark, Norway while rolling out another 434 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 13: welcome match for Putin. In recent hours, we've seen a 435 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 13: slew of private messages between leaders made public, including one 436 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 13: from French President Macron, who tells Trump quote, I don't 437 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 13: understand what you're doing on Greenland. Maccron also says France 438 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 13: will not join what Trump is calling a US led 439 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 13: board of Peace overseeing the wreckage in Gaza. This is 440 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 13: the board to which Putin has been invited, says Trump. 441 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 5: Did you say that? What nobody wants it? Because he's 442 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 5: going to be out of officers, So you know that's 443 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 5: all right. What I'll do is, if they feel like Caste, 444 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 5: I'll put a two hundred percent two put his wines 445 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 5: and champagne. 446 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 13: Talking about Macron, he says it's irrelevant and if he 447 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 13: persists with this, the US for slap massive tariffs on 448 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 13: his wines and champagnes. Trump then went back to the 449 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 13: Greenland threats, posting an aiimage showing himself hoisting an American 450 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 13: flag over the country with a banner reading Greenland, US 451 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 13: territory established twenty twenty six, He says, we have to 452 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 13: have it. 453 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 18: They have to have this done. They can't protect his deadmark. 454 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 18: You're wonderful people, and I know the leaders have erated 455 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 18: good people, but they don't even go there. And you 456 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 18: know because they both went there five hundred years ago. 457 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 18: And then love that does he give you titled? 458 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 13: Wonder what say Columbus or which Helen or others would 459 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 13: think of that anyway? In another leaked exchange, Norway's PM 460 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 13: sent a note signed Unice and Alex, the latter being 461 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 13: the Finnish president, saying, let's deescalate on this Greenland stuff, 462 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 13: and as for the Nobel Peace Prize, that's a private thing, 463 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 13: nothing to do with the government of Norway.

They then handcuffed him, 504 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 13: dragged him out into the snow with almost no clothes. 505 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 13: He had on his underpants and his grandson's blanket. It 506 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 13: was frigid. He was held by ice agents for some 507 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 13: hours and later was returned into his home without any 508 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 13: explanation and without any apology. 509 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 2: So your Friday, Richard onld side side, givin you some 510 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: who I seem to remember. I gave a speech last 511 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: year that just said on running in twenty eight Democrats 512 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: stand by on you candidate anyway. So he's very articulate man. 513 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 2: He's rick to California, of course. So whether you can 514 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: take that record and run it right around America or 515 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 2: I've got no idea, but he isn't dabbles but articulate 516 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 2: today as well. 517 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 19: It's time to buck up, It's time to get serious. 518 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 19: You can stop being complicit. It's time to stand tall 519 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 19: and firm, have a backbone. Yeah, I mean I've seen 520 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 19: this in the United States. This isuplying Congress playing both sides. 521 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 19: You know, say one thing on a text or a 522 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 19: tweet another publicly. Just I can't take this complicity people 523 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 19: rolling over. I should have brought up a bunch of 524 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 19: knee pads for all the world leaders. 525 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 20: I mean handing out crowns and hanging out. 526 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel prizes they're. 527 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 20: Being given a I mean, it's just listen and help people. 528 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 20: I understand how pathetic they look and the world stage. 529 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 20: I mean, at least from an American perspective, it's embarrassed 530 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 20: this A year ago, we should have been having this 531 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 20: conversation and they didn't. Okay, and now you're paying the price. 532 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 2: Got a point eleven to seven. 533 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: The Mike costing Breakfast with the Defender and use togs 534 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: dead b. 535 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: It's interesting, Mike, have ComCom allows Z to buy Celtics? 536 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 2: How could they turn down gull indepaid. That's that's a 537 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: fair point. Also, good to hear you back. MPD and 538 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: Goal and the others are just giant vending companies. They're 539 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: definitely not service stations where you go to for more 540 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 2: than just fuel. Larry, it's funny you should say that. 541 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 2: I mean, you're correct in saying it. If you want 542 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 2: to run a book, I would imagine the ComCom will 543 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: allow the merger for the simple reason that you pointed out, 544 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: you right, ones in the South Island largely and the 545 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: others in the North Island largely, And so I don't see. 546 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: If they can get some synergies and efficiencies and all 547 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: that sort of stuff and the price of pittrol comes down, 548 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: then great, And they're already in the market as a 549 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: cost leader, if you like. But it's funny because my 550 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: local recently went from being what you would loosely call 551 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 2: the service station to just literally there's no one there now. 552 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: You just use your car. But I use my card anyway. 553 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 2: I don't go to the service station for anything other 554 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: than petrol. Why would I want to buy an expired 555 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 2: liter of milk and a pinky bar. But having said that, 556 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 2: while they were transferring my service station into what it 557 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 2: is now from what it was, and presumably laying a 558 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: few people off, I had to go down the road 559 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 2: to the one that's the exact opposite of that, which 560 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 2: is one of those ones with the cafe and a 561 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 2: restaurant and a car wash and a masseuse parlor and 562 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 2: a furniture shop, and basically it's Costco that sells petrol. 563 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 2: It's incredible, And what I noticed there because they wouldn't 564 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 2: let you pay at the pump. You had to go in, 565 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: and that really got up my nose because I don't 566 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 2: want to go in because the service is nonsense. And 567 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: the amount of food that's being eaten at these places, 568 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: and I'm thinking it's more food than petrol. So if 569 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: you do it, begin do it well. People love a 570 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 2: pie and a coffee, so that's good. I just don't 571 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 2: know how much petrol's being sold because the parks where 572 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 2: the cars were that didn't have anything to do with 573 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 2: the petrol were full, while the petrol pumps weren't, so 574 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: it was really just a restaurant that happened to If 575 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: you wanted to get some petrol on the side, you could, 576 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: So there's clearly two models at play here. I like 577 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 2: the simple one, and other people who like pies like 578 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 2: the other one. 579 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 21: Don't don't underestimate how much people love pinky bars. It's 580 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 21: funny that that's the one that's sprang to mind for you. 581 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 21: Is that the one you go for the pinky. 582 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: The caramel one, Pixi Caramel, Pixi Caramel. 583 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 21: No longer lasting two. 584 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 2: I'd go for that one. Five minutes away from seven. 585 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: Well, the inns and the ouse. It's the fizz with 586 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: business fiber take your business productivity to the next level. 587 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 2: Now, a little look into advertising for you. Advertising where 588 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 2: they're putting their money digitally? This is globally, where are 589 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 2: they putting their money digitally these days? These stats come 590 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: from a market intelligence company called centertaw. So last year, 591 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: more than half the ads on Insta ran on reels. 592 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: Now you know reels. Reels are sort of short form videos. 593 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 2: Fifty percent of the ads ran on reels, and that's 594 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 2: up from thirty five percent the year before. In the US, 595 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 2: reels accounts for forty six percent of time spent on Instagram. 596 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: So if you go on Instagram, forty six percent of 597 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: the time you're on reels. You confused yet, which is 598 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 2: up from thirty seven percent of the year before, So 599 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: it's gone from thirty seven to forty six. What Center 600 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: Tower also suggesting is advertisers are trying to follow the audiences. 601 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 2: They're trying to work out where are the audiences consuming 602 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: this content? So very big business for meta meta owns Insta, 603 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: Institut's part of reels. Really confused, you an't? There's reels 604 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: on Insta and that's owned by Meta. You got it, 605 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 2: not by Google? 606 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 12: Google? 607 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: Separate? Where was I eighty five billion? That's what they 608 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 2: went from advertising? Eighty five billion dollars? Now where are 609 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 2: we at with social media? This is interesting? On average, 610 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: eighty one minutes a day is on TikTok. What I 611 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: can't work out is eighty one minutes a day on 612 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 2: TikTok on average, eighty minutes on YouTube, fifty five minutes 613 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: on Instagram. Now is that separate or combined? So I 614 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 2: can you speak in eighty one minutes on TikTok and 615 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: eighty minutes on YouTube and fifty five on instat or 616 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: is it all separate? So if you spent your eighty 617 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: one on TikTok and you didn't go elsewhere, I'm on YouTube, 618 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: so I'm on the bike every day, and I'm on 619 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: the bike like for half an hour. So I'm not eighty, 620 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: but I'm thirty. But I don't go anywhere else. 621 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 21: Well, you don't go anywhere. It's a stationary bike. 622 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: No, that is true. What would you do ten ks? 623 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 2: And Glenn? If you hopped on my bike? How long 624 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: do you reckon? It would take you to do ten k? 625 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 15: No? 626 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 21: I have to put the seat up a bit. 627 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: Under an hour. I knocked it off the other day 628 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: in fifteen fifty fifteen fifty for ten Kate, is that impressed? 629 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 2: If you're asking yourself. 630 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 21: And you're still didn't really go anywhere? 631 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 2: The honey yell it is? 632 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 12: It is not. 633 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 2: I didn't go anywhere. I went in my mind places 634 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: and that's the main thing for me. I like to 635 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 2: go places in my mind. Sometimes I do it live 636 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 2: on the radio anyway. The news is next. 637 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: Compelling the breakfast show you can't best. It's the Mic 638 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: Hosking Breakfast with a Vita, Retirement, Communities, Life Your Way 639 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: News togsad be on. 640 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 2: Thing seven past seven. Will the services sector result the 641 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 2: final piece of the recovery story later? Services Index Positive 642 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: territory fifty one point five hasn't been there for close 643 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 2: to two years, up four point three from November. Catherine 644 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: Rich's the Business New Zealand Chief Executive and as well 645 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: as Catherine good Morning, Good Morning, so manufacturing GDP broad confidence. 646 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 2: Is this the last piece in the puzzler we set 647 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 2: to go? 648 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 16: I think so. I mean, it's taken nearly two years 649 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 16: for the service services sector to kick in to gear. 650 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 16: It's still fragile, but it's worthwhile acknowledging because as you 651 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 16: said in your intro, it's been a long time for 652 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 16: there is be expansion in the services sector. It's a 653 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 16: really important part of our economy. Nearly seventy percent of 654 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 16: New Zealand business the economy is made. 655 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 17: Up of services. 656 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 16: So it's a positive start. 657 00:30:58,600 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 12: To the year. 658 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 2: Is this stable? Are we on a path? 659 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 16: Well, it's not a trend yet and we're just over 660 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 16: the fifty market fifty one point five. But what was 661 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 16: good about the results was that the positive change came 662 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 16: from the indicators that mattered new orders in particular. 663 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 22: And look, it's a really. 664 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 16: Important part of the economy. It's transport, its health, it's retail, 665 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 16: its hospitality. So finally it would seem that the positive 666 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 16: influences of everything else is starting to filter through. So 667 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 16: it's certainly worthwhile acknowledging. 668 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 2: Not all subindices were above or into positive territory. Will 669 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: they be. 670 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 16: They're not, and that's why the expansion is not at 671 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 16: the It wouldn't describe it as a boom, but at 672 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 16: least after nearly two years, we're moving forward. So it'd 673 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 16: be important to look at the result next year, sorry 674 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 16: for the next month, but certainly really positive. 675 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 2: What's your view, there's noise v reality thing. So the 676 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 2: big surprise for me over the Christmas period was that 677 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: GDP number out of August, September, October, in other words 678 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: Q three. While back then we were bitching and moaning 679 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: about everything being miserable, we were in fact growing and 680 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 2: growing quite well. Are we mentally bogged down when in 681 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 2: reality it's. 682 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: Not that bad. 683 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 23: Well. 684 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 16: Part of discussing the economy is just having some perspective. 685 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 16: Some of the changes the governments made have been long 686 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 16: term reforms, so you don't see instant change things like 687 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 16: changes to RMA, employment, law, education, etc. And the expectation 688 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,479 Speaker 16: that some people have that there's going to be an 689 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 16: instant's success it is not realistic. We're talking about trying 690 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 16: to turn around an economy. We haven't opened a packet 691 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 16: of noodles and expect instant results. So I think over 692 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 16: a period of time in twenty twenty six, I think 693 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 16: you'll see business being far more upbeat because we need 694 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 16: to remember also that many business people don't sit around 695 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 16: waiting for the government to decide what it's going to do. 696 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 16: They're looking at opportunities, they're seeing things to do in 697 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 16: the local economy and they're just putting one foot in 698 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 16: front of the other and getting on with it. 699 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: Well, this is a good news story for now. Caspin 700 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 2: appreciate it very much. Catherine rich Business New Zealand Chief 701 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: Executive number of fifty one point five. Ten minutes past seven, 702 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 2: pask get the public inquiry into the handling of that 703 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 2: Tom Phillips case that's under way today. Did government agencies 704 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 2: take all practicable steps to safeguard the children that police 705 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 2: are rung a Tamriki Ministry for Children all that. Matthew Hayge, 706 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 2: lawyer and former police officer, is with us. Matthew morning, 707 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: good morning, makeel. I didn't know you're a former police officer. 708 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 2: Now he sill was obvious fault going in? Or is 709 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 2: this so unique you just simply had to have an inquiry. 710 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: I think it's the. 711 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 17: Lesser, and I would go further than that and say 712 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 17: I don't think there is obvious fault from the past 713 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 17: of place. I think certainly there will be things that 714 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 17: they could have done better. This is a complex situation 715 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 17: involving children at risk? 716 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 12: Is it? 717 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: I can't get my head around the idea as to 718 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 2: whether we do these things for the sake of doing them, 719 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 2: and there will be recommendations and there will be fault 720 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: found because nothing's perfect. Does anything material result as because 721 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: of that? Or is it just we're doing something for 722 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: the sake of it? 723 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 17: I think it depends on the terms of reference with 724 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 17: an inquiry, and I was quite critical of the first 725 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 17: COVID inquiry, for example, in the way those terms of 726 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 17: reference are very narrow. I think these terms of reference 727 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 17: are sufficiently why to allow meaningful recommendations to be made. 728 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 17: Whether or not government agencies take those up as another question. 729 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 17: They usually do, and in this case, i'd expect with 730 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 17: the public scrution, there there would. 731 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 2: What about the variables around things like the police. I mean, 732 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 2: having talked to the police minister and some police men 733 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 2: for example, what they thought he might do, what could unfold? 734 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 2: How do you inquire about that into things that didn't happen. 735 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 17: I think by talking to those places and this was 736 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 17: an ongoing situation across a number of years, which is 737 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 17: part of the problem. Police would have done exhaust of 738 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 17: risk and less over those years. There's going to be 739 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 17: documentary evidence that justice small can look at as part 740 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 17: of his work. 741 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 2: Okay, well, well we'll see where it goes. Appreciate your 742 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 2: expertise for now. Matthew Haig, a lawyer, former police officer. 743 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 2: Twelve minutes past seven, first of the first of the 744 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 2: election year retirements.

The locals probably loved him. They 751 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 2: voted him four times, came into Parliament in twenty fourteen. 752 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 2: I thought he was a very good speaker. I thought 753 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: he sat there and he was very balanced, very fair 754 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 2: in a very understated, quiet, almost elegant sort of way. 755 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 2: And as I watched him last year at the back 756 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,919 Speaker 2: of the back of the chamber, at the very back, 757 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: I thought, mate, you must be bored out of your 758 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: tree once you've had a decent job, once you've been 759 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 2: speaker or being in cabinet, sitting at the back there, 760 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 2: how And I, honestly, I don't want to win my 761 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 2: own prize, but I honestly thought, how long before you retire. 762 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 2: See I was right. 763 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 21: Okay, your here's your fifty. 764 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 2: Here's why I want a pinky bar. It's thirteen past. 765 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: The like asking breakfast, full show podcast on I have 766 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: radio powered by news Talks a'd be now. 767 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,479 Speaker 2: I don't want to get into semantics because Reese tells 768 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 2: me Duncan Webb was the first to do a runner, 769 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 2: which is, of course Ree's technically true. But I did 770 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 2: say the first of the election year retirement. So I 771 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 2: still want the pinky bar. But your point is that 772 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: he was going off to do adventuring. Remember Duncan Webmany 773 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 2: announced his retirement last year, was going off to do adventuring. 774 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 21: Shall we send Reese like twenty five bucks? 775 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 2: Why not? 776 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 13: Yeah? 777 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 2: Okay, twenty five a piece, Reese, you're a winner this 778 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 2: morning as well. 779 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 4: Right. 780 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 2: New study sixteen past new study, it's from a Tiger 781 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 2: University calls for fiber to be added to the list 782 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 2: of essential nutrients for human consumption. That would be the 783 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 2: first change, by the way, in fifty years. So the 784 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 2: research points basically two way reduction in heart disease in Kansas. 785 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 2: German co author professor of medicine and human Nutrition at 786 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 2: the university. 787 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,799 Speaker 22: And is with us. Good morning and good morning to you, Mike. 788 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 2: Now, this is interesting. I read a piece the other day. 789 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 2: It was an international piece, I think it was in 790 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 2: the BBC, and it was suggesting there's an increased buzz 791 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: around fiber and our view towards it. Are you part 792 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 2: of that? Is there something happening with fiber at the 793 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 2: moment globally? 794 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 22: Well, it's an interesting question. I mean, it's been picked 795 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 22: up by social media worldwide and it's the inn thing 796 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 22: at the moment, certainly in social media. But having said that, 797 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 22: there's been a parallel increase in the amount of information 798 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 22: on dietary fiber in the scientific literature. 799 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 2: So we're learning still. 800 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 22: Well, I think we have learned that dietary fiber is 801 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 22: really an essential part of our diet if we want 802 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 22: to be healthy. I'm not saying it is impossible to 803 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 22: be healthy if you don't have much fiber, but it 804 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 22: certainly is one of the most important contributors to a 805 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:57,479 Speaker 22: healthy diet. 806 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 2: Most people would most people know Areman's Lental's beans. Most 807 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 2: people would know there, wouldn't they. 808 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 22: Well, I think most people know that if you constipated 809 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 22: and you increase the amount of dietary fiber that you have, 810 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 22: it will help constipation, and I think probably it goes 811 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 22: a bit further. Certainly, for a long time it's been 812 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 22: known that it's good for certain bile diseases, for irritable 813 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 22: bile disease, inflammatory bile disease. But I think the body 814 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 22: of literature has increased enormously in the last few years 815 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 22: to show that diughtary fiber is protective against our two diabetes, 816 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 22: colon cancer, conorectro cancer, one of the most important cancers 817 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 22: that we have, heart disease, and a number of other 818 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 22: conditions too, to the extent that just a couple of 819 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 22: years ago the World Health Organization came out with a 820 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 22: very strong recommendation that most of the world was not 821 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 22: eating enough dietary fiber and should eat quite a bit more, 822 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 22: and actually specified how much more. But I mean, the 823 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 22: recent act that we've to be undertaken is really to 824 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 22: try and suggest that dartary fiber should be regarded as 825 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 22: the central nutrient rather the same way that we regard 826 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 22: some vitamins, you know, minerals as essential. If you don't 827 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 22: take vitamin C, you'll get scurvy. Well, that's the category 828 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 22: that we wish dartary fiber to be in now. 829 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 2: Making it essential changes materially. 830 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 22: What do you think, Well, it really changes the emphasis 831 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 22: that is given to dietary fiber in nutritional recommendations. For example, 832 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 22: it encourages people that sell food and prepare food to 833 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 22: increase the amount of dartary fiber in the food intake. 834 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 22: And I think that people understand the concept of essentiality, 835 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 22: that is, to be healthy, you've got to have vitamins, 836 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 22: you've got to have protein, certain mino acids in protein, 837 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 22: and I mean we would like people to put dietary 838 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 22: fiber in that category that really to get the best 839 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 22: out of one's health potential, dietary fiber is one of 840 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 22: those nutrients that should be listed along with those, as 841 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 22: I say, are mino acids, protein, and vitages. 842 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 2: So Jim, appreciate your time. So Jim and co author 843 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 2: and professor of medicine and Human Industriction, I can talk 844 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 2: about that stuff Forerever. Mike, forty seven year old here 845 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 2: started taking metamucil Absolute game change. You urged listeners to 846 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 2: try it for a week. Guarantee it changes your life. 847 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 16: Mike. 848 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 2: The ComCom are also allowing Brimworth to be sold to Mohawk. 849 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 2: That'll give Mohawk a seventy to eighty percent market share 850 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 2: and flooring products. A one hundred year old New Zealand 851 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 2: company gone. Only the shareholder vot can save it. Regarding 852 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 2: Zen and Celtech, it's such a shame that ComCom have 853 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 2: no courage and a hypocritical they're complicit in creating another monopoly. 854 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 2: I'm not sure them' not. It's seventy to eighty percent 855 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 2: of monopoly and what would have happened to Bremworth. Bremworth 856 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 2: just can't make it work. Sadly, it's been a great story, 857 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 2: the Brimworth story, not only the last hundred years, but 858 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 2: they're leaning into wool and stuff like that. Just couldn't 859 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 2: make it work. 860 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 1: Seven The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 861 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: powered by Newstalk Zippy. 862 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 2: Now New Zealand's medium to large enterprises, government agencies as 863 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: well facing this critical challenge at the moment, which is 864 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 2: of course basically doing more with less technology essential tool 865 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 2: that you can leverage to enhance both.

So they're not just tech consultants, 872 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 2: they're problem solvers and they know what it takes to 873 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 2: deliver results through tech.

Have a 878 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 2: look at them Spark Business, Moscow, seven twenty four. Our 879 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 2: regulars will know my view on polls, mainly because these 880 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 2: days it's a simple truism that it's very hard work 881 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 2: to get people to engage and as a result, numbers 882 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 2: vary to an extent that short of a very broad 883 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 2: idea or view or result accuracy in a way that 884 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 2: we once understood, it is basically these days out the door. 885 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 2: So with that caveat, I still though see hope for 886 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 2: this country and the result of this week's work that 887 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 2: has shown us a couple of things assets sales or 888 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 2: recycling of assets is broadly speaking, according to this pole, 889 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 2: acceptable to the bulk of us. And that's the government 890 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 2: idea of a rates cap that's very popular. As it 891 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 2: turns out. Now the specific numbers in these surveys of 892 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 2: these poles don't actually matter because the accuracy issues. But 893 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 2: if you've got a decent chunk of people roughly on 894 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 2: the same page, that, to my mind is a very 895 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 2: good indication. And you have that in both poles. Now 896 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 2: what that tells me is common sense is not dead. 897 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,320 Speaker 2: Middle New Zealand is alive and well and as moderate 898 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 2: as we have ever been. See in a world of 899 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 2: crazies and a streamists and niche thinking that tends to 900 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 2: get the headlines these days, good old middle of the 901 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 2: road basic thought is not only not dead, it could 902 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 2: well be thriving. See the rates cap pole, I would 903 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 2: have thought as a major blow to somebody like labor 904 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,800 Speaker 2: and their aspirations around the capital gains tax. See the 905 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 2: rate cap result tells you that we are sick of 906 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 2: cost plus accounting, We're sick of waste, We're sick of 907 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 2: being raided fiscally to cover largess or greed or in 908 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 2: competence or all of that. You don't always just need 909 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 2: more money. You need to do things differently. And the 910 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 2: asset numbers tell me that we get the idea that 911 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 2: the government owning everything is wasteful, that not all state 912 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 2: run stuff is of great value or use. Like caps, 913 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 2: you can do things differently, and you can do them better, 914 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,879 Speaker 2: and you can do them more efficiently. See the state 915 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 2: owning farms and TV stations. It's absurd. The state running 916 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 2: social assistance program sure makes sense. Power companies not so much. 917 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 2: These poles display and understanding of that realization to a 918 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: greater extent than many might have imagined. Actually, I mean personally, 919 00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 2: I thought the asset support number that came out this 920 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 2: week was way higher than I would have guessed. The 921 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,359 Speaker 2: good news here, I think Middle New Zealand's always made 922 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 2: this country great, has always had an outsized influence, and 923 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 2: more often than not, has been right. Asking was due 924 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,879 Speaker 2: to talk half an hour ago, and he hasn't even 925 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 2: started yet. If he says anything that's not completely insane, 926 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 2: will bring some of it to you, Mike, welcome back. 927 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 2: I'm quite interested in New Zealand's official position on Greenland. John, 928 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 2: the official position is we're not going to invade it. 929 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 2: We don't want to buy it because we can't afford it. 930 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,439 Speaker 2: And I think officially eighty seven percent of us could 931 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 2: point to it on a map. It's about all I 932 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,879 Speaker 2: have on Greenland. As far as New Zealand is concerned, Mike, 933 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 2: does any other country have at least one person driving 934 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 2: the premier motor small events? Inz has F one? Indy 935 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 2: le Monde NASCAR will really what a very good start 936 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 2: at the ten this Wednesday morning. The answers probably know. 937 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 2: I happen to be watching Aston Martin Honda yesterday. They 938 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,919 Speaker 2: were doing a live launch. There's all these new cars 939 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 2: this year for F one. I saw the other one 940 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 2: the other day in Detroit. It was a weird one 941 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 2: in Detroit. That was Red Bull and racing Bulls. Liam 942 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 2: was there in Detroit as part of the Detroit Motorshi 943 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: which only has one new caral year, which might tell 944 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 2: you something about the American motorcar industry. But anyway, having 945 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 2: said that, they did it at midnight in Detroit, and 946 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 2: I thought, what a weir of thing to do. I mean, 947 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 2: obviously Detroit Ford forwards the engine I get that part, 948 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 2: but midnight seems slightly odd. So slowly but surely we're 949 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 2: building up to Bahrain, which is next month for the 950 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,560 Speaker 2: testing of these new cars that nobody seems to understand 951 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 2: or know whether or not they work, and if they worked, 952 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,439 Speaker 2: as one work better than another. So that's what makes 953 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 2: the season so damn exciting. Now, Education in a Moment's 954 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 2: some interesting new stats for you. 955 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: No fluff, just facts and fierce debate. The Mic Hosking Breakfast. 956 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: We're the defender, Embrace the impossible news togs dB roll. 957 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 2: Mark is joining us from up north this morning, given 958 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 2: his job, of course as Minister in charge of reigning events, 959 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 2: and both MPs are going to presumably head off to 960 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 2: the caucus retreats today and we'll get an election day 961 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 2: announcement who knows what else. So it's Politics Wednesday with 962 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 2: Mark Mitchell, Ginny Anderson after eight o'clock meantime. Back here 963 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 2: are twenty three minutes away from eight. Possibly your first 964 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 2: eye opening stat of the new year. Turns out we're 965 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,399 Speaker 2: quite well educated and qualified. New data's got thirty nine 966 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 2: percent of us aged in twenty five and sixty four 967 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 2: holding a bachelor's degree or higher, which is up seventeen 968 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 2: percent over the past twenty years. Tertiary diploma or certificate 969 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,959 Speaker 2: qualifications not quite as much. That's fallen from forty percent 970 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 2: to twenty seven percent. They think the COVID you're a 971 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,840 Speaker 2: study in the strong migration as part of the story anyway. 972 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 2: Chris Wheelaan's the chief executive of Course of Universities New 973 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 2: Zealand And, is back with us. Chris, good morning, Good morning. 974 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 2: Is thirty nine percent a good number? 975 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 24: Well, actually no, we're actually lagging behind most other sort 976 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 24: of comparable countries. So you compare the thirty nine percent 977 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 24: with about sixty five percent of Canada, about fifty four 978 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,720 Speaker 24: percent for both the United Kingdom and Australia, and about 979 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 24: fifty percent for the United States. We're probably lagging behind 980 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 24: an international trend which every country's gone through over the 981 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 24: last thirty years of educating their population as their workforces 982 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 24: have changed to become much more knowlge worker based. 983 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 2: Wow, So is that a cultural thing? I mean, is 984 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 2: it we just don't value higher education the way other 985 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 2: countries do or is it more than that? 986 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 24: Well, it's hard to tell. I mean, I think you know, 987 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 24: at the end of the day, people are rational they 988 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 24: will follow where the jobs are. And I think the 989 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 24: new zendand economy you know, hasn't developed perhaps as quickly 990 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 24: as some other economies have. But in saying that, something 991 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 24: like almost two thirds of all jobs now according to 992 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 24: the twenty twenty three census, now basically require at least 993 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 24: two years of some kind of post school education or 994 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 24: training if you want to get a serious look and 995 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,799 Speaker 24: as a young person, do we know. 996 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 2: How many people who have a degree actually use it? 997 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 24: Pretty much all of them, So we compare very well 998 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 24: by international standards for what's kind of called unde employment. 999 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 24: It's only about one or two percent end up, you know, 1000 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 24: significantly underemployed doing jobs that you know they really just 1001 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:56,320 Speaker 24: didn't need a degree for. 1002 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,399 Speaker 2: Okay, is this a trend in any way, shape or form. 1003 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 2: Do you think we going to be on the improve 1004 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 2: or we don't know? 1005 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 24: Hard to tell, so things like say postgraduate qualifications, we're 1006 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 24: below half of the OECD average, with just seven percent 1007 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,320 Speaker 24: of our population with a postgraduate degree versus the OECD 1008 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,800 Speaker 24: average of fifteen percent. The fact is every developed economy 1009 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 24: needs knowledge workers, people with education and skills. So my 1010 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 24: feeling is we'll see more I just don't know how 1011 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 24: much more. 1012 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 2: What's the postgrad thing? Is that money? Is it money 1013 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 2: associated or not? 1014 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 24: A lot of it comes down to things like student allowances. 1015 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 24: So the Other's one of the few countries that doesn't 1016 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,879 Speaker 24: provide support for people doing postgraduates qualifications. So once we've 1017 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 24: had about five years of allowances, they run out, which 1018 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 24: makes it a lot less attractive to go and do 1019 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,960 Speaker 24: things like masters or PhD qualifications. After a point, I 1020 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 24: think we just need to be investing a little bit 1021 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,600 Speaker 24: more in our young people and developing that college economy. 1022 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 2: That COVID thing, I guess, But is it valuable to 1023 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 2: the extent if you lock somebody up they go and 1024 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,280 Speaker 2: change their behinha, But they changed their behavior for reasons 1025 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 2: that you might not think. Is that beneficial? 1026 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 3: Was it? 1027 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 1: Well? 1028 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 24: There was an interesting study came out of a UK 1029 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 24: think tank about ten years ago which basically found that 1030 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 24: recessions were great for young people where boom times were 1031 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 24: bad for young people. So why is that? Because in 1032 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 24: boom times people are more likely to go straight from 1033 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 24: school into a job, you know, become a hammer hand, 1034 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 24: where in recession they're some more likely to go. Oh, 1035 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 24: so there aren't many jobs. I'm going to go and 1036 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 24: get a degree, or I'm going to go and become 1037 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,279 Speaker 24: a tradee or something like that. They get training and 1038 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 24: their lifetime earnings are substantially higher. 1039 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 2: What about the migration thing, So we were booming migration wise, 1040 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 2: we're not now. Is that going to play out in 1041 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 2: a different way going forward? 1042 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 24: Look, I'm sure it will. I just wouldn't like to 1043 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 24: predict exactly how. 1044 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 2: All right, Chris, nice to talk to you is always 1045 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 2: Chris Whelan, who's the chief executive of Universities of New Zealand, 1046 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,240 Speaker 2: speaking of which ninety minutes away from seven. This seems 1047 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 2: to be an annual issue with a limited number of 1048 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 2: medical school places in Dunedin, particularly for grad entrance. My 1049 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,840 Speaker 2: daughter's completed honors above the average with an A pass, 1050 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 2: but has missed out partly due to a large number 1051 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 2: of repeat students from last year. I've been told around 1052 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,320 Speaker 2: forty year repeating, which is a real concern. Sonny, you 1053 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,399 Speaker 2: should say, I don't know. I'm taking you at your word. 1054 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,919 Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's right. I sat in the early part 1055 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 2: of December in the Dunedin Town Hall at the graduation 1056 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 2: ceremony for last year's lot of medical graduates, and I 1057 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 2: can tell you it's a fascinating thing. One Getting in 1058 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,319 Speaker 2: is hard work. Getting into Auckland's different to getting into 1059 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 2: Dunedin or a Tago. 1060 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 10: Two. 1061 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 2: We didn't appear to be short of doctors at the 1062 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,800 Speaker 2: graduation ceremony because there were a shedload of them crossing 1063 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 2: the stage close by the one hundred literally. So it's 1064 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 2: graduating's one thing, or having a number of people graduates 1065 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,680 Speaker 2: one thing. Having the money to employ them in hospitals 1066 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 2: around the country is another. And so it was a 1067 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 2: fair I've got more to say on it tomorrow because 1068 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 2: it was one of the more fascinating experiences of my life. 1069 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 2: But it seems to me that the real problem around 1070 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,800 Speaker 2: the whole health sector is training people is not the problem. 1071 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 2: Having the number of people trained is the problem, and 1072 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 2: that's a money thing. And then having trained those people, 1073 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,320 Speaker 2: having them have a job is the problem, and that 1074 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 2: is another money thing, because you can't hire people if 1075 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 2: you don't have money for it. 1076 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 1: Eighteen two The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 1077 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,280 Speaker 1: Power by News talks. 1078 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 2: That Be and we get into the tricky areas. Mike, 1079 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,719 Speaker 2: I've got an experience and a master's and it makes 1080 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 2: no difference to my paying the social services sector, and 1081 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 2: that depends on who you work for, of course, Mike. 1082 00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 2: A degree doesn't define a personal but I don't think 1083 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 2: anyone suggests it does. So many school leaders don't have 1084 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 2: one and do well. You think that's true, My three 1085 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 2: sons being a great example. They don't have one, but 1086 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 2: have made a good life for themselves and families. Now 1087 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 2: what does that mean? They've made a good life for themselves. 1088 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 2: I mean, I suppose if you say you're making a 1089 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 2: good life for yourself and you go, yeah, I am, 1090 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 2: I'm thoroughly happy and enjoying my life, then good luck 1091 00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 2: to you. Then that's all you need then now And 1092 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,839 Speaker 2: they're like forties, I wonder, Jenny, if that's also part 1093 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,760 Speaker 2: of the equation as well, late forties let's call you fifty. 1094 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,800 Speaker 2: Did they grow up in a time in this country 1095 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 2: where qualifications weren't as necessary as they are today? 1096 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: Right or wrong? 1097 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:11,879 Speaker 10: See? 1098 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 2: I grew up in the car. I don't have a 1099 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 2: qualification to my name. I got school certain YWI and 1100 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,360 Speaker 2: that was it. But in those days, that's all you 1101 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 2: really needed. And unless you're on this very specific pathway 1102 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 2: as far as law or medicine or something like that 1103 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 2: was concerned. There were jobs to be had without any 1104 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 2: more qualifications. Now trade me. But anyway, as I say, 1105 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 2: I'll come back to the tomorrow, because I watched my 1106 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 2: daughter graduate in December in medicine and so it was 1107 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 2: it was a deneeding itself. Was an interesting experience. But 1108 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 2: more tomorrow. Trade me. This morning, they've got new numbers. 1109 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,759 Speaker 2: Moderately interesting housing market this year. I think we're going 1110 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 2: to see some growth as reading. I think all the 1111 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 2: banks are on board with reasonable growth this year. The 1112 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 2: biggest number I from memory saw was seven as in 1113 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 2: percent by the end of the year. Can't remember who 1114 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 2: did it, but one of the majors was saying seven 1115 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 2: percent by the end of the year. This is from 1116 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 2: December twenty four to December twenty five. For trade me, 1117 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 2: they have Plenty up eight point two percent in prices. 1118 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 2: They are now for the first time ever Bay of Plenty. 1119 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,799 Speaker 2: Congratulations in good morning. The most expensive place to buy 1120 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 2: a house in the country an average of nine hundred 1121 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,440 Speaker 2: and sixty three thousand dollars average. Auckland. Where's Auckland, You say, well, 1122 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 2: it's gone backwards a bit nine hundred and fifty one. 1123 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 2: It went down two and a half percent, but by 1124 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 2: plenty went up eight. And there's your answer. Canterbury, of 1125 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,439 Speaker 2: course keeps on keeping on seven and a half percent 1126 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 2: up for the year otago over five. A lot of 1127 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 2: that's going to be central Southland up a bit, West 1128 00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,319 Speaker 2: Coast up a lot four point six. Nelson Tasman five 1129 00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 2: point five. Who got hit the most Gisbon thirty four 1130 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,399 Speaker 2: down down thirty four. But I'm assuming that at least 1131 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 2: in part is because the number of houses there for 1132 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 2: sale isn't great, and therefore you get a lot of 1133 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 2: noise around those numbers. Mike, fifteen fifty for ten k's 1134 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 2: equates to about thirty eight ks. Now try and do 1135 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,399 Speaker 2: that on the real world downhill. Maybe that goes back 1136 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,479 Speaker 2: to a commodo May. Just before seven o'clock this morning, 1137 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 2: I knocked off ten k's at fifteen fifty, So you're right, 1138 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 2: that equates to about thirty seven thirty eight k's. For me, 1139 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 2: that's flat out. That is like working your ass off 1140 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 2: for fifteen minutes and fifty seconds and halfway through, in 1141 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 2: fact more than halfway through. Many times through that time 1142 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 2: you're thinking to yourself why am I doing this? It's 1143 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 2: not necessary. I'm indoors. Nothing changes if I do this 1144 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 2: or not do this. There's just a mental sort of 1145 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,320 Speaker 2: exercise I do that. I do that periodically. Generally. 1146 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,239 Speaker 21: I do sometimes think these hells aren't even real. 1147 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 2: No, that's true. Well, generally I do seventeen to eighteen minutes, 1148 00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 2: and that's sort of. That doesn't kill me. It doesn't. 1149 00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 2: It's sort of and you go up and down or 1150 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 2: does that or it depends on depends on where in 1151 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 2: the world I am on my iPhone. Nh yeah, yeah, morning, 1152 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,240 Speaker 2: Mike's so nice to hear your back. How's the coffee 1153 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,440 Speaker 2: roaster going? Let me tell you abit quickly about the 1154 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,600 Speaker 2: coffee roaster over the holidays. I did some research on 1155 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,320 Speaker 2: your behalf and this is going to get up the 1156 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 2: nose of a lot of people in hospitality. So I'm 1157 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 2: buying beans. So I got a coffee. If you missed 1158 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 2: the story, I won't bore you witless. But I got 1159 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 2: a coffee roaster last year, and I got into doing 1160 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 2: my own beans. Now I'm not into the extremities of 1161 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,720 Speaker 2: the exercise. In other words, you can dial up recipes 1162 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 2: and make your own recipes and you can do a 1163 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:57,360 Speaker 2: bit of this and a bit of that and the 1164 00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,440 Speaker 2: whole thing. I don't do that. I just throw the 1165 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,919 Speaker 2: beans in the button and twelve minutes later it's all done. 1166 00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 2: But I'm buying beans at thirty dollars a kilo, and 1167 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 2: I've worked it out that I'm running a cup of 1168 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 2: coffee at sixty to seventy cents a cup, sixty to 1169 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 2: seventy cents a cup with my own beans, as good 1170 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 2: as anything you'll see in any cafe anywhere, sixty to 1171 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 2: seventy cents a cup. So the question I then asked myself, 1172 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,400 Speaker 2: and yes, I paid for the machine. So you go, oh, 1173 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 2: you got to pay off for your machine. Yes, I 1174 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,719 Speaker 2: get all that, But at sixty to seventy cents a cup, 1175 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 2: where's when you're paying five, five fifty? Where's that? Where's all? 1176 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: Where was all that come from? Now they'll go, well, 1177 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,959 Speaker 2: that's staff, and it's rates, and it's power and sure, 1178 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 2: but for every single cup, hundreds of cups a day 1179 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 2: in cafes all over the country, somebody is making reasonable 1180 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 2: amounts of money. And I'm not against people making reasonable 1181 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 2: amounts of money, but I'll tell you what, when you're 1182 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 2: doing coffee at sixty to seventy cents a cup. It's 1183 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,280 Speaker 2: a big ask for me to walk into a cafe 1184 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 2: and hand over in excess of five dollars for exact 1185 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 2: same experience. And dare I suggest from my with my 1186 00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 2: barista's hat on a slightly inferior product. 1187 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 21: You're doing your what do you call it? A medium black? 1188 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 21: So generally with the cafes there's a dairy. 1189 00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 2: No no, you you pay five fifty for an espresso? Yeah, yeah, 1190 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 2: you're buying seven dollars. 1191 00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,399 Speaker 21: For yeah yeah, yeah, But you know it all sort 1192 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 21: of has to even out, doesn't it. 1193 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:20,520 Speaker 2: You sound like you sound like a cafe owner. 1194 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,800 Speaker 21: I'm just saying that. You know, well, I got to 1195 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,360 Speaker 21: some price of milk. 1196 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well it's not nothing. Take the milk out 1197 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 2: at five fifty sixty you explained it to me. For 1198 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,800 Speaker 2: sixty cents to five point fifty you explained the difference 1199 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:36,359 Speaker 2: to me. You can't, can you no? Nine minutes away 1200 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:36,799 Speaker 2: from eight. 1201 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate News togs ZDB. 1202 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 2: Six away from it. We talked about that services sector earlier. 1203 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,040 Speaker 2: So here's a good example of a New Zealand story 1204 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,920 Speaker 2: going gangbusters. Picks as and peanut butter these days has 1205 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 2: a forty one percent year of the domestic market and 1206 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,319 Speaker 2: they're forecasting another twenty percent growth this year on top 1207 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 2: of the twenty percent last year. So what's going on here? 1208 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,840 Speaker 2: Amy McCammon, as the chief executive, clicks and she's well, 1209 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 2: it's Amy morning, kyolda Mike, good morning. Now you're at 1210 00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 2: a dollar. I've done the research. Yes, I don't mess 1211 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,720 Speaker 2: with me. Amy. At the supermarket you're a dollar ninety 1212 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 2: one for one hundred grams. Fixing fogs a dollar fifty seven, 1213 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 2: and PAMs is at seventy two. So you prove that 1214 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 2: if it's quality, people will buy quality. 1215 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 12: Is that fair? 1216 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 25: Mike? 1217 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 26: You are on it this morning you had your peanut 1218 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,200 Speaker 26: butter on toast, because you are exactly right. We're just 1219 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 26: sticked to the quality game and keywids can taste it 1220 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 26: and they're happy to be eating it and paying for it. 1221 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,160 Speaker 2: And what's unusual though, there's always a group of people 1222 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 2: who will pay for quality. But a forty one percent 1223 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,920 Speaker 2: share of the market is massive. So what does that 1224 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 2: tell you? 1225 00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 26: It's incredible because we started back in two thousand and seven, 1226 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 26: two thousand and eight and pack is most Stepdad. And 1227 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,600 Speaker 26: when he started he was literally just selling at market 1228 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 26: around the country. He got all the old hippie mates 1229 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 26: out around there selling peanut butter ten dollars a jar. 1230 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 26: We were getting there and in the supermarket the stuff 1231 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 26: you could get was probably four dollars a jar, but 1232 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 26: it was full of sugar and a multifier. And it 1233 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 26: just grew. People loved really good quality food and they 1234 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 26: loved the enthusiasm that pick seld it with. So we 1235 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,440 Speaker 26: were actually the first natural peanut butter back in the 1236 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 26: New Zealand market. 1237 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 2: Then is the sector growing, I mean the spread market 1238 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 2: growing of people into the stuff. 1239 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:25,280 Speaker 26: It is growing. 1240 00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 9: People are still super into healthy foods, you know, people 1241 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 9: are still looking for good, healthy food that you know 1242 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 9: is good to feed their families. And so it keeps 1243 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 9: growing and people, you know, people are going to spend 1244 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 9: a little more on the better stuff because it's been 1245 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 9: a really tough year, right everyone knows it's tough going 1246 00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:48,680 Speaker 9: to the supermarket. 1247 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 26: But it does show that consumers will pay more for 1248 00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 26: the good stuff. 1249 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 2: They are affordable luxuries, aren't they. I am nice to 1250 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 2: talk to you. Appreciate it and congratulations on all of 1251 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 2: your success and I hope you get your twenty cent 1252 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 2: growth this year. Amy mccannon picks peanut butter, Chief executive. 1253 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,440 Speaker 2: Seems remarkable that the media you're obsessed so long and 1254 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 2: so hard last year about the price of butter and 1255 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,520 Speaker 2: how nobody could afford it in it while we were 1256 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 2: doing that, we're out there buying picks peanut butter, seemingly 1257 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 2: at a price we can't afford. 1258 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 21: Well, you don't need butter.

I reckon? So you can then invest that unused 1262 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,880 Speaker 21: butter money into where with forty thieves in the equation. 1263 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 2: There that the unused butter money.

And I'll leave 1374 01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 25: it to Chris Bishop and the Prime. 1375 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 2: Minister because I was told it was today. But then 1376 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,959 Speaker 2: then then the Prime Minister's officer who listened and tune 1377 01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,080 Speaker 2: in religiously to this program, rang up and set it's not. 1378 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, So what do I do. We'll go with 1379 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,240 Speaker 2: what they've said, Go with what they've said. 1380 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 27: They don't know. 1381 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 25: Maybe soon they'll definitely have a plan around it, but. 1382 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,600 Speaker 2: No one knows when you're going to change it. By 1383 01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 2: the way, I think it was Thomas Coglan, I read Ginny. 1384 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 2: He did his usual di y over the holiday period. Now, 1385 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 2: was it a retaining wall he built? 1386 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,480 Speaker 27: It's a very specific question which I do not have 1387 01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:11,160 Speaker 27: the answer. 1388 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,120 Speaker 2: To the question.

Some people become 1439 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,840 Speaker 27: a bit institutionalized and don't know what to do with themselves. 1440 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 27: Almost of it like prison in some ways, but others 1441 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 27: like the fact that you get to have some balance 1442 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 27: back in your life, that you get to sleep and 1443 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 27: eat and do all the things that you get to 1444 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 27: do over the summer, break right right across the year. 1445 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 27: So it just really depends on the person. 1446 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 2: Luck said to us on Monday Mark that there would 1447 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 2: be retirements this year. He didn't seem to know who 1448 01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 2: they were, although I suspect he was keeping that. I mean, 1449 01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 2: he should know, shouldn't he wouldn't he have a clue 1450 01:07:59,200 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 2: by now? 1451 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,680 Speaker 25: A lot of people sort of play their cards close 1452 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 25: to their chests, and they'll be going through a whole 1453 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 25: range of emotions and decision making, talking with family and 1454 01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:10,439 Speaker 25: deciding whether or not they want to stand for another term. 1455 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,040 Speaker 25: And then when they've made those decisions, they'll come forward 1456 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 25: and they'll and they'll. 1457 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 12: Live a leader. 1458 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,439 Speaker 2: Know would you expect something? But I mean the point being, 1459 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,160 Speaker 2: the later you leave it, the more trouble it is 1460 01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 2: for a set in government, isn't it Because the person 1461 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:23,720 Speaker 2: looks like they're running if things aren't going well, then 1462 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:25,679 Speaker 2: think that you look like you're running from the sinking ship. 1463 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 25: Yeah, I mean that's that's the narrative that media will 1464 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:31,680 Speaker 25: get up and they'll sort of do analysis on it. Look, 1465 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 25: it can be as simple as people just their own 1466 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:37,000 Speaker 25: personal circumstances and deciding, you know, I've given enough or 1467 01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,880 Speaker 25: do I have enough energy for another term? And you know, 1468 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 25: and are there other things that I want to go 1469 01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 25: and do. So it's as simple as that, and they'll 1470 01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,559 Speaker 25: make their own decisions and then they'll sort of come 1471 01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 25: forward and they'll and they'll let the President and the 1472 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:50,240 Speaker 25: Prime Minister know right. 1473 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:51,720 Speaker 2: I'm opening a book this morning. Do you want to 1474 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:52,800 Speaker 2: call the election now? Jinny? 1475 01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 27: Well, everyone's kind of saying seven November, No. 1476 01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 2: Not the date to the outcome. 1477 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,679 Speaker 27: Aren't the outcome? I thought that's weird talking about. 1478 01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 2: Four record for the record, Ginny Anderson on this twenty 1479 01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,759 Speaker 2: first day of January, you think Label will get what percent? 1480 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,679 Speaker 2: Greens what percent? And Mary Party what percent? And therefore 1481 01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 2: you will presumably become the government with what percent of 1482 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:16,679 Speaker 2: the vote. 1483 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,320 Speaker 27: I think you'll see we've made good progres to get 1484 01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 27: up to that sort of thirty six you know, thirty seven. 1485 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,599 Speaker 27: I think that'll keep tracking up and get us close 1486 01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,840 Speaker 27: to forty. We want to see ourselves over forty for 1487 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,160 Speaker 27: the election, and that's what we'll be working hard to 1488 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 27: make sure we can do. 1489 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,599 Speaker 2: Greens will get what then they'll get fifteen or twenty, 1490 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,560 Speaker 2: so that'll take you to fifty five fifty six and 1491 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,760 Speaker 2: the Marris with what five? So seventy percent of the 1492 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,160 Speaker 2: vote you reckon, Jinny, Well, some. 1493 01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,839 Speaker 27: Of those minor parties are always really difficult to predict. 1494 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:48,320 Speaker 27: And while Greens always sit around ten, it's actually act 1495 01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 27: in New Zealand first that fight with each other and 1496 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,280 Speaker 27: they run up to the election and that can be 1497 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,640 Speaker 27: actually the balance of power depending on who they go with. 1498 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,240 Speaker 27: So I think a lot in under MMP. I've just 1499 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,440 Speaker 27: been listening to Juggernaut. Can one really so many similarities 1500 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,760 Speaker 27: between that first Bolgier government and the one we've got 1501 01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:07,720 Speaker 27: now with Christopher Luxon in terms of a lot of 1502 01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:09,920 Speaker 27: the fiscal measures. And you're on that mic too, You're 1503 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,120 Speaker 27: broadcast Room said, be yeah, you're on. 1504 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,200 Speaker 2: It on Juggernaut, which is what what is it you're 1505 01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 2: talking about? Is that a podcast? 1506 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,120 Speaker 27: It's the fourth National Government by the Spin off. So 1507 01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 27: it's a it's a sort of a podcast for a 1508 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:25,799 Speaker 27: couple of different takes on parts of the fourth National 1509 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:30,360 Speaker 27: Government and some really strong similarities between this government we've 1510 01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,640 Speaker 27: got now and what they did and their government back 1511 01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 27: that even the language they use is really similar. So 1512 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,080 Speaker 27: I think that's been really valuable for me of the 1513 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 27: holidays to listen to that and how we responded. 1514 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,600 Speaker 2: Anything or anything with me or it's worth listening to. 1515 01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 2: What do you recognize? 1516 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:45,719 Speaker 1: I agree? 1517 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,439 Speaker 25: I agree, But look, I think that I hope that 1518 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 25: Jugger will do the last labor government because that would 1519 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:51,840 Speaker 25: be a really good. 1520 01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:57,519 Speaker 2: I don't think i'd be on that oh man, yeah government, Okay, 1521 01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,599 Speaker 2: So thirty six, thirty seven, Jinny, and maybe at forty, 1522 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,760 Speaker 2: I mean, God, bless you for being optimistic.

But unfortunately a couple of minutes ago, still 1582 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,360 Speaker 2: going by the way, it's fifty minutes late. Unfortunately, a 1583 01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 2: few minutes ago he got his finger caught in the 1584 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 2: bulldog clip. 1585 01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:57,519 Speaker 23: Here's the book on accomplishments, and this is something well, 1586 01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,400 Speaker 23: I'm glad my finger wasn't and that's so good. 1587 01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:01,479 Speaker 1: They could have done some damage. 1588 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 23: But you know what, I wouldn't have shown the pain. 1589 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:05,240 Speaker 19: I would have gone back. 1590 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 1: Where did you hear that? That was nesty? But I 1591 01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:10,600 Speaker 1: would not have. 1592 01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,000 Speaker 23: Shown the pain. I would have acted like nothing happened 1593 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,439 Speaker 23: as my finger fell off. 1594 01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:16,320 Speaker 1: That was a nest. 1595 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,720 Speaker 2: He got around to talking about Minnesota. He's claimed what's 1596 01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:27,240 Speaker 2: he claiming? He's claiming the job unemployment rates higher because 1597 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 2: of all the people he sacked. So it's actually a 1598 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,000 Speaker 2: good news story, and he's claiming the negative migration at 1599 01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 2: the moment is because he's kicking all the people out 1600 01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:35,800 Speaker 2: of the country, So that's a good news story too. 1601 01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,160 Speaker 2: So people leaving the country and people without jobs is 1602 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,560 Speaker 2: a good news story. So he's on a bit of 1603 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,320 Speaker 2: a roll. I'm assuming the helicopter's warming him up to 1604 01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 2: take him to Air Force one, which is going to 1605 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,160 Speaker 2: take him to Darbos eventually, which I think he's still 1606 01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,000 Speaker 2: due to arrive at later on tonight.

They kind of got the 1609 01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 2: hate speech through, but in that's real story, so we'll 1610 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,120 Speaker 2: get all the detail.

It's all the Somalis hault. 1617 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,280 Speaker 23: Apparently nobody talks about the fact that nineteen billion dollars 1618 01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:26,600 Speaker 23: at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a 1619 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:33,280 Speaker 23: large degree, but by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians, can 1620 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:34,439 Speaker 23: you imagine. 1621 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 8: And they don't do it. 1622 01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,519 Speaker 23: A lot of very low IQ people they don't do it. 1623 01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 23: Other people work it out and they get the money 1624 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:46,599 Speaker 23: and they go out and buy Mercedes Benzes and they 1625 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,559 Speaker 23: come from here. They have no money. They never had money, 1626 01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 23: they never had a life, they never had a government, 1627 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,479 Speaker 23: they never had a country, because there's basically no country. 1628 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,759 Speaker 23: Somalia is not even a country. They don't have anything 1629 01:15:58,320 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 23: that resembles a country. 1630 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:06,200 Speaker 2: Technically. Technically, of course that's incorrect. The Mercedes beans thing 1631 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:09,280 Speaker 2: is the fascinating thing. He didn't get to eating the Swans. 1632 01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 2: But nevertheless, there's more Mercedes beans perhead of population in 1633 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,280 Speaker 2: Minnesota than apparently anywhere in the world. And there is 1634 01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,680 Speaker 2: a genuine scandal around childcare and funding of childcare in 1635 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,720 Speaker 2: that particular part of the world. He's also got these 1636 01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,760 Speaker 2: new numbers on the fact that Biden never won the election. 1637 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,320 Speaker 23: All allowed in here by an open border policy of 1638 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 23: the worst president in the history of our country, a 1639 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,040 Speaker 23: man that didn't win the election, by the way, got 1640 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,559 Speaker 23: so rigged election. Everybody knows that now and by the way, 1641 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,240 Speaker 23: numbers are coming out that show it even more plainly. 1642 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:38,639 Speaker 23: We caught them. 1643 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 2: We caught them well, which brings me to Steve Bennon 1644 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 2: and probably the most interesting thing I read yesterday. But 1645 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:47,760 Speaker 2: more on that in the moment twenty two to. 1646 01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 1: Nine International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1647 01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 1648 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,800 Speaker 2: Stephen past is waiting for us in Australia. Very good morning, 1649 01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 2: my friend. 1650 01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 10: Hello. 1651 01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,960 Speaker 2: Then, what a fascinating thing yesterday. So ninety six foot 1652 01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,920 Speaker 2: five on the guns ticked off by the Senate, the 1653 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,280 Speaker 2: hate speech, the thing that fascinated me most lower House 1654 01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 2: is my understanding. Correct me if I'm wrong in all 1655 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:09,720 Speaker 2: of this. But it got through the Lower House will 1656 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,959 Speaker 2: be ticked off presumably by the Senate today. Coalition splits. 1657 01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,639 Speaker 2: Is this the way of the future for them? 1658 01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,599 Speaker 10: Yeah, it looks like it. I mean it actually passed 1659 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,720 Speaker 10: Mike last night just after eleven o'clock to pass the 1660 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,680 Speaker 10: Senator thirty eight to twenty two year. Rather, it will 1661 01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 10: go back to the Lower House today it'll be law. 1662 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 10: So it's all a little complicated. The bill had to 1663 01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:35,680 Speaker 10: be split into ones called Combating Antisemitism hating extremism, and 1664 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,519 Speaker 10: the other is the gun buy back laws. So what 1665 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,960 Speaker 10: happened when it got to the Senate. The Nationals tried 1666 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 10: to put an amendment forward saying that they wanted it 1667 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,080 Speaker 10: to go to another committee, and that was opposed and 1668 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 10: so basically Senator Bridget McKenzie, leader of the Nats in 1669 01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,799 Speaker 10: the Senate, walked out along with her fellow National senators 1670 01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:58,640 Speaker 10: and so the coalition is again split. So you know, 1671 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:02,040 Speaker 10: at the end of this torture was exercised by the 1672 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 10: Prime Minister who was very late to come to the 1673 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:07,479 Speaker 10: idea that we needed a Royal commission into an incident 1674 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 10: that saw fifteen Jewish people gun down in Bond. I well, 1675 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:15,600 Speaker 10: we've got two new bills, some Title gun laws and 1676 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 10: they say that you know, you'll now be able to 1677 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,560 Speaker 10: arrest preachers promoting hate and they'll face harsher penalties and 1678 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 10: the Home Affairs Minister can actually revoke visas these people 1679 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:28,639 Speaker 10: I found guilty of doing. 1680 01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:28,720 Speaker 23: That. 1681 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 10: Is it go to stop any Semitism in Australia. No, 1682 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:33,519 Speaker 10: And I'll get to that children. 1683 01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1684 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 2: No, Well that was my next question. In fact, I mean, 1685 01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:39,639 Speaker 2: do the bills the gun the hate, do they actually 1686 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:42,639 Speaker 2: solve problems or is this just politicians looking like they're 1687 01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 2: doing things the. 1688 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:46,559 Speaker 10: Latter I think. I mean, I'll give you an example. 1689 01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,479 Speaker 10: I mean, two days ago, three Jewish boys are on 1690 01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 10: their way home from school in the Melbourne suburb of Elston, 1691 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,880 Speaker 10: which you might recall that's where that the Dad Synagogue 1692 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 10: was firebombed. These three young boys was suddenly confronted by 1693 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 10: two males in a white utility who started screaming out 1694 01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:14,479 Speaker 10: Hile Hitler and doing the Nazi salute towards these three youngsters. 1695 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,400 Speaker 10: You might say, Okay, that's just idiots being idiots, But 1696 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 10: then did a u turn narrowing this one of the 1697 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,439 Speaker 10: boys seemed to the attempt to run him over. These 1698 01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,160 Speaker 10: kids had to hide in a lame way for twenty 1699 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 10: minutes while this you trolled around the suburb trying to 1700 01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 10: find them. Now, how's this Combating Antisemitism, hate and Extremism 1701 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:37,679 Speaker 10: bill going to solve that problem? 1702 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,880 Speaker 2: No, exactly precisely. As regard the politics of it all, 1703 01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 2: was the split in the coalition amenable in the sense 1704 01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,120 Speaker 2: that they agree to disagree, or is this trouble down 1705 01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:51,639 Speaker 2: the road and they can't quite get their head around 1706 01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:51,920 Speaker 2: it yet? 1707 01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,519 Speaker 10: I agreed to disagree. I mean David Littlebrad has eventually 1708 01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:57,280 Speaker 10: he said that and he said, this is not, you know, 1709 01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,640 Speaker 10: like the split that we had over net zero and 1710 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:04,439 Speaker 10: the year. This is a difference of opinion. It's the 1711 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 10: conservative side of politics in Australia. In parliament, if you 1712 01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:12,200 Speaker 10: are an elected senator or member of Parliament, you are 1713 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 10: able to cross the floor if you don't agree with 1714 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,599 Speaker 10: your own size policy on something as opposed to labor 1715 01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,640 Speaker 10: where you vote as a block. So it can be 1716 01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,680 Speaker 10: painted as a split in the coalition, but it'd be 1717 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 10: wrong to concentrate on that aspect of what happened last night. 1718 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,720 Speaker 10: I think it's the bill itself and how it will 1719 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,679 Speaker 10: or will not work is more important. But the coalition 1720 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,920 Speaker 10: their bigger problem now, of course, is that there's yet 1721 01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 10: another pill out today saying Pauline Hanson's more popular than 1722 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,400 Speaker 10: them and this is her popularity about anti semitism. No, 1723 01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 10: not really, it's popularity about two things, immigration in particular 1724 01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:48,840 Speaker 10: and crime. 1725 01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:51,160 Speaker 2: I was watching a bit of the Parliament. They were 1726 01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,240 Speaker 2: back tomorrow hours isn't back yet, but yours was back 1727 01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:55,880 Speaker 2: and the line I thought that was very good was 1728 01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,360 Speaker 2: when facing Alban easy. Why do you argue against this 1729 01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 2: for twenty five days? And I thought that's a not 1730 01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 2: unfair question. 1731 01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,040 Speaker 10: Yeah. I said on television on Friday night that I 1732 01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:07,160 Speaker 10: thought Susan Lee had made her best speech that she'd 1733 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,160 Speaker 10: ever made when she had a media conference last week 1734 01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:14,559 Speaker 10: on Friday morning pointing out exactly what the television going. 1735 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:18,680 Speaker 2: To do with this bill the shark business. I saw 1736 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,120 Speaker 2: a bloke give an explanation. You get the weird weather, 1737 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,360 Speaker 2: everything overflows, it all floods into the harbor. The shark's 1738 01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 2: like a bit of something coming into the water. That 1739 01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 2: makes sense to me. Do people not realize that when 1740 01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 2: you've had the big storms? 1741 01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,679 Speaker 10: Well you think they would, given the history of bull 1742 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:37,080 Speaker 10: shark attacks. So that's what these things are, the most 1743 01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:41,240 Speaker 10: horrific one. They're all bad, and there's been four shark 1744 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,840 Speaker 10: attacks within twenty six hours. But that poor little twelve 1745 01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,840 Speaker 10: year old boy, Nico Antik, who was attacked while he 1746 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,720 Speaker 10: was swimming in Sydney Harbor at a beach which is 1747 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:56,360 Speaker 10: called Shark Beach and Sydney Harbor is well known for 1748 01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,280 Speaker 10: bull sharks. It looks like he's not going to make it. 1749 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,120 Speaker 10: He's still in a critical condition in the signature's hospital 1750 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,000 Speaker 10: and go fund me page has been set up to 1751 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,920 Speaker 10: help his family, and a family friend made the point, 1752 01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 10: but it looks like it's going to have the worst 1753 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,439 Speaker 10: income outcome they can have. Also, I've got young Glug 1754 01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,800 Speaker 10: was attacked by a bull shark off Manly, North Manley, 1755 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 10: North Steiny Manley where he was bitten on the leg. 1756 01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:22,439 Speaker 10: You've got pictures of surfboards of great chunks taken out 1757 01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 10: of them. All beaches in suburban Sydney have been shut 1758 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,599 Speaker 10: down for forty eight hours. It's that really dirty water. 1759 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 10: They had a huge amount of rain in Sydney and 1760 01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 10: the bull sharks then are basically blind, but they see 1761 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,200 Speaker 10: activity in the water and it turns out to be 1762 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,400 Speaker 10: a surfer on a surfboard or a kid jumping off 1763 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:42,639 Speaker 10: a rock and they think it's I think it's meal time. 1764 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:43,479 Speaker 10: It's just dreadful. 1765 01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 2: Hey, listen just quickly. I should have asked you this 1766 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 2: mom to go. But the polo is reading the other day. 1767 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,040 Speaker 2: Eighty one percent of people banning extremist Islamic groups, eighty 1768 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,200 Speaker 2: one percent of people want that. Eighty percent now want 1769 01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,680 Speaker 2: tougher immigration measures. Has this materially changed the view of 1770 01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:01,559 Speaker 2: Australians and therefore if it has it presents a problem 1771 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 2: to the labor government who aren't quite that extreme as 1772 01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 2: perhaps your average Australians. 1773 01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, it has change, said, and it will be. It 1774 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,720 Speaker 10: is driving this one nation popularity man. But as I 1775 01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:15,800 Speaker 10: explained to the other day, I mean the problem with 1776 01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 10: all about is referential voting. Means if someone's going to 1777 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,080 Speaker 10: vote one nation, they're not likely to be a labor voter. 1778 01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 10: Labor will still get all the Green's preferences in labor. 1779 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 10: Labor has a massive majority, but Australian's want of proper 1780 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:32,479 Speaker 10: discussion and debate about immigration and the labor of government, 1781 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 10: state and federal have no appetite for that whatsoever. 1782 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 2: Good see you mate, We'll catch up next week. Steve 1783 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,120 Speaker 2: Price out of Australia, come back to Ban and Steve 1784 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,120 Speaker 2: Bannon in just a couple of moments eight forty five. 1785 01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:47,559 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 1786 01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:48,600 Speaker 1: By News Talks a B. 1787 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,920 Speaker 2: Twelve to nine. Yeah, Steve Bannon Yesterday, in what they 1788 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,680 Speaker 2: claimed was sort of a marking of the one year 1789 01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,040 Speaker 2: of Trump, gave an interviews of the Sidnay Morning Herald 1790 01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:00,240 Speaker 2: and he said a couple of interesting I know how 1791 01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:01,720 Speaker 2: much time I've got for Steve Bennon, but what I 1792 01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:03,479 Speaker 2: do know is he's fairly tight with the president. He 1793 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 2: would have an understanding of what's going on. He will, 1794 01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:09,880 Speaker 2: says Bannon, seek an unconstitutional third term in twenty twenty 1795 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,799 Speaker 2: eight to quote unquote save the country. He is running 1796 01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:17,839 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight when the time came, he couldn't. 1797 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 2: He would quote drive a mack truck through the twenty 1798 01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,160 Speaker 2: second Amendment. You're in the age of Trump, and that 1799 01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 2: age is far from being over. You look at the 1800 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,320 Speaker 2: long term plan he's got with Greenland, with Canada. I 1801 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:29,000 Speaker 2: think he's telling you he's got a long term plan 1802 01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 2: to save the country. And that is why it puts 1803 01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 2: him at the level of Washington and Lincoln. Washington was 1804 01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,120 Speaker 2: here at the birth of the nation. Lincoln was here 1805 01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,760 Speaker 2: at the rebirth. Trump is here to reclaim that nation. 1806 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:42,839 Speaker 2: It's a long term project. If the electoral role will legitimate, 1807 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 2: and this is where it gets really interesting. This why 1808 01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:48,320 Speaker 2: Minnesota's so fascinating. If the electoral role would were legitimate, 1809 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,160 Speaker 2: it would be virtually impossible for Democrats to win a 1810 01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 2: national election. The midterms he's calling it. Biggie says he's 1811 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,280 Speaker 2: increasingly confident that the Republicans can keep control of the House. 1812 01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,200 Speaker 2: That would be massive based on the fact that generally 1813 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,840 Speaker 2: this applies to all parties and presidents. Generally midterms don't 1814 01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:08,759 Speaker 2: go well for the incumbents. Generally, the megabase is not beatable. 1815 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 2: Is not beatable. We can't be beaten. Now, what is interesting, 1816 01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 2: and you haven't heard it yet, and it may well 1817 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,320 Speaker 2: be scuttled, but ultimately, but the whole plan, and Bannon 1818 01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:22,000 Speaker 2: talks about this basically is America is full of illegals. 1819 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:23,800 Speaker 2: And the illegals has been brought into the country by 1820 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 2: the Democrats, and then they give them jobs and they 1821 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:27,640 Speaker 2: put them on the pay roll, and of course they 1822 01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 2: turn up to vote. So by getting rid of all 1823 01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,200 Speaker 2: of those people out of those key states, and this 1824 01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 2: is why Minnesota is one of the key states, is 1825 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 2: you get rid of all of the illegals out of 1826 01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,400 Speaker 2: those states, and therefore you balance the books in terms 1827 01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:41,800 Speaker 2: of votes. Tied in with that is a theory not 1828 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:48,000 Speaker 2: yet espoused widely publicly, that medeuro is somehow linked to 1829 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:52,280 Speaker 2: the stolen election quote unquote stolen election of Biden. He's 1830 01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 2: a puppet for China. China has been running the elections. 1831 01:25:56,280 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 2: In terms of think back to the machines your portco 1832 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,560 Speaker 2: counting machines, the ensuing lawsuits. The claim is that was 1833 01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:08,040 Speaker 2: all the technology allegedly came out of Venezuela. The whole 1834 01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,760 Speaker 2: thing's a stitch up. China are pulling the strings for 1835 01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,360 Speaker 2: the puppet that is Madeiro, for the puppet that is Venezuela. 1836 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:18,800 Speaker 2: Trump's onto that, et cetera, et cetera. But that's what 1837 01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 2: you're dealing with at the moment. But the thing to 1838 01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:24,640 Speaker 2: take out of that is it seems Trump will be 1839 01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,639 Speaker 2: running in twenty twenty eight. So if you think Venezuela 1840 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,679 Speaker 2: is interesting, and you think Greenland's interesting, announcing the third 1841 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:36,040 Speaker 2: term against a constitution is probably even more interesting. Nine 1842 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:36,720 Speaker 2: away from nine. 1843 01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 1: But the make asking Breakfast with the Defender and used 1844 01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:41,439 Speaker 1: Tom's dead b Let. 1845 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 2: Me see this question, sir. Trump's just ticked over. 1846 01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 24: Now. 1847 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,799 Speaker 2: I'm watching it on Fox and the woman Martha McCallum, 1848 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,360 Speaker 2: who I've got quite a bit of time for. She's 1849 01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:51,599 Speaker 2: very good. I think her show started at the top 1850 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,559 Speaker 2: of the last hour and it only lasts an hour. 1851 01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 2: And Fox take everything that Trump says, See, other networks 1852 01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:00,639 Speaker 2: have already cut out of it. But if Fox don't 1853 01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 2: cut out of it, and you would you to go 1854 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:04,760 Speaker 2: to wear at eight o'clock New Zealand time and you 1855 01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:06,840 Speaker 2: show ends at nine o'clock New Zealand time. Did you 1856 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 2: basically turn up for no reason today because you haven't 1857 01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:09,760 Speaker 2: been on here? 1858 01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:10,800 Speaker 21: Easy day? 1859 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,160 Speaker 2: Easy day? I guess so. By the way, the research 1860 01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:17,559 Speaker 2: department did the aforementioned text earlier on is New Zealand 1861 01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 2: most represented of anywhere in the world and forms of 1862 01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:22,040 Speaker 2: motor racing? The answer appears to be yes, because we've 1863 01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:25,280 Speaker 2: done the research. Yef one, of course IndyCar where we've 1864 01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 2: got three Lemont, then Duro racing. In other words, Hartley 1865 01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,519 Speaker 2: and Bamba saw Hartley at Taupo. That Taupo racing, if 1866 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:34,840 Speaker 2: you follow racing over the weekend, was fantastic this weekend 1867 01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:38,360 Speaker 2: in for cargo. That'll be good NASCAR. Now, NASCAR's where 1868 01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:43,200 Speaker 2: it gets a bit sketchy because everyone's from America in NASCAR, 1869 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,879 Speaker 2: with the exception of Shane ben Gisbergen. So but technically 1870 01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,360 Speaker 2: New Zealand's New Zealand and we are represented there and 1871 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 2: of course in the rallying Hayden pattern. So yes, we 1872 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,479 Speaker 2: box a mile above that weight, which is that's a 1873 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,120 Speaker 2: good fun stat. Five minutes away from. 1874 01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:01,040 Speaker 1: Nine trending now Chemist Wells Greeks every day. 1875 01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 2: Jimmy carrs in the country at the moment. Big tour, 1876 01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:07,160 Speaker 2: too big, big tour. He's put this out. This is 1877 01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:09,000 Speaker 2: what you're getting if you're going to Jimmy Carr. 1878 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:12,360 Speaker 28: I'm doing a thirteen city tour of New Zealand, which 1879 01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:22,280 Speaker 28: is remarkable given you've only got three cities. It's nice 1880 01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:23,800 Speaker 28: to be in New Zealand. But of course for me, 1881 01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,280 Speaker 28: New Zealand is not just a long way away. It's 1882 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 28: also a long time ago. 1883 01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:30,599 Speaker 8: Air. 1884 01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:36,200 Speaker 28: New Zealand might as well be operating time machines. If 1885 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,360 Speaker 28: I had to describe New Zealand to someone who's never been, 1886 01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:46,240 Speaker 28: I'd say nineteen seventies Amish. It's like you as a 1887 01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,040 Speaker 28: nation got to nineteen seventy five and. 1888 01:28:48,080 --> 01:29:02,760 Speaker 12: Went ah years. Enough progress for us. Choice bro. 1889 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:09,760 Speaker 2: He's he's in Hawk's Bay tonight. He's got a couple 1890 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:11,559 Speaker 2: of nights in hawks Bay before he moves to Rhodora 1891 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:14,680 Speaker 2: and Towering also Hamilton, Aukland. He's got I went to look, 1892 01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,240 Speaker 2: they claiming he's at Spark Arena, followed by the Cary 1893 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,640 Speaker 2: to Karna with theater, So I couldn't work out if 1894 01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,639 Speaker 2: you sell it. How come you're mixing those two up anyway. 1895 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:24,120 Speaker 2: You couldn't get tickets to the Spark things, so I 1896 01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 2: assume that's sold out. Carry to Kana. I think you 1897 01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 2: still can. And we must get him back on because 1898 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 2: he said on this program that when he comes to 1899 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,960 Speaker 2: the country, he'd love to pop in. Now, I don't 1900 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:37,799 Speaker 2: expect him to pop and give him he's a napier. 1901 01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:39,880 Speaker 2: But by the time he gets to Aukland, why wouldn't 1902 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,160 Speaker 2: he pop in? Because he's a lovely guy seeing low, 1903 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:45,280 Speaker 2: very nice guy. In the end, the video beautifully tailored. 1904 01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:46,800 Speaker 2: I know I raised this with him when we did 1905 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 2: the interview with him last year, beautifully tailored. Most best 1906 01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,759 Speaker 2: dressed comedian gag Anyway, enough of that, back tomorrow morning 1907 01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,479 Speaker 2: from six as always Happy Days. 1908 01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 1909 01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,519 Speaker 1: News Talk SETB from six am weekdays, or follow the 1910 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,000 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio.
