Flip side. 23 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: The media seem to fall over themselves to give free publicity. 24 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: Latest is on the retrofit of their seven eight sevens. 25 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: Are the retrofit as years over due has added to 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: the many woes and worries they have with engines and 27 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: lack of planes and ensuing scheduling issues.

The worst recent fight we 30 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: took was from New York to London. It costs six 31 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: thousand dollars each one way. It was in United's Polaris class. 32 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: They call it first class. It's crap. It was small, cramped, 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: hopelessly out of date compared with what the world is offering. 34 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: At the front of the plane in New Zealand's new 35 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: business Premiere and Premier Lux looks like Polaris.

It looks like a 38 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: bad reno, old plain, new curtains, and you pay for 39 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: the privilege. And that's the point.

The front end of 50 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: the plane is booming globally. The world is willing to 51 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: pay increasingly absurd amounts of money. To fly here to 52 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: London is twenty thousand dollars, but demand massive.

I think this is going to be 77 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 6: a defining moment in the history of the Catholic Church. 78 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 2: Well Father Robert outlines the challenges for the block who wins. 79 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 7: The plummeting of numbers like in Germany of Catholics who 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 7: have defected from the faith, or not having baptisms, or 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 7: having to do more funerals for priests than you do. 82 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: Ordinations for peace. 83 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: I think that those are disasters. 84 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: And then for reasons best known to himself, or maybe 85 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: he actually doesn't even realize he's done it at all. 86 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: That Joe's first interview post is loss has been given 87 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: to the BBC. 88 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: Oh, it's just the Gulf of America. 89 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: Maybe we're going to have to take back Panama. 90 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 8: Maybe we need acquired a Greenland, maybe Canada, if. 91 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: It what the hell's going on here? Is not behavy 92 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: like a. 93 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 9: Republican president. 94 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: He's sounding sprightly, though, isn't he? See's the world in 95 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: ninety By the way, if you're not up on it, 96 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 2: the Americans are going to talk to the Chinese. Sell 97 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: all that stuff that Trump was saying, We're already talking 98 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 2: to the Chinese apparently not true. Amazing, isn't it. So 99 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: they're going to talk to the Chinese about trade. Meantime, 100 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 2: China and the Central Bank has moved from more details. 101 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: Shortly eleven past six, the. 102 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power by 103 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: News talks evy. 104 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 2: Tariff starting to bite. The Cox Automotive's Mainheim Used Vehicle index. 105 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: This is the States increased four point nine percent year 106 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: year two point seven percent from March alone. Is that 107 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: a lot, Yes, it is. Normally it's zero point two percent, 108 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: So its material and the American punter's paying. Fourteen past six, 109 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: break it from JMI Wealth Andrew Kellahaer, Good. 110 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 4: Morning, very good morning, Mike, speaking of. 111 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: The American feed have just spoken no what would they say? 112 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, no change in rates and no change was expected. 113 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 10: They have basically said that the uncertainty outlook has increased, 114 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 10: inflation somewhat elevated, risks of higher unemployment rate and inflation 115 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 10: have risen. So you've got rising uncertainty, you've got the 116 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 10: risk of stagflation. 117 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: So it's kind of. 118 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 10: Mucking around with both sides of their dual mandate for 119 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 10: making life quite difficult for them. They've made very few 120 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 10: changes to the statement that they put out. But Jerome 121 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 10: Power is speaking in about half an hour, and I 122 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 10: suspect you'll get a little bit more detail. Their markets 123 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 10: are just weakening off of it after that announcement, and. 124 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: We will cover that. Back home jobs, I suppose what's 125 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: the headline? Could have been worse? 126 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 10: Yeah, it could have been worse. I think I've described 127 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 10: the big labor market dump. Yes, so I've described the 128 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 10: outcome as a little mixed. The unemployment rate a little 129 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 10: better than expected, but wage growth is contained. 130 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 4: So, Mike, if we look at this from a from 131 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: a sort of couple of. 132 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 10: Angles, we had concerns last year that the unemployment rate 133 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 10: would creep quite a bit higher than five percent. They 134 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 10: don't look like they're going to eventuate. So from an 135 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 10: employment point of view for New Zealand Inc. This could 136 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 10: be a nice stress, could be close to the peak 137 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 10: in unemployment. And then we always think about the monetary 138 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 10: policy implications, and I think the benign nature of wage 139 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 10: inflation in that da ES so that just doesn't stand 140 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 10: in the way of further OCR reduction. 141 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: So I mean, quick look at the numbers. 142 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 10: Unemployment rate five point one percent, below expectations and unchanged from. 143 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 4: The previous quarter. If you only looked. 144 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 10: At that, you'll be forgiven for thinking that employment the employment. 145 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 4: Market was robust. 146 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 10: But you look a bit deeper and the signs are 147 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 10: lot as rosy as that outcome suggests. You know, participation 148 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 10: rate nudge down, abit working age population grew zero point 149 00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 10: two percent. 150 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 4: It's small growth in the labor market. 151 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 10: The quarterly employment survey show that filled jobs came in weaker, 152 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 10: down zero point four percent. 153 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 4: So you've got spare capacity. 154 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 10: Evident, full time jobs are falling, part time jobs are lifting. 155 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 10: A zero point five percent fall in full time jobs 156 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 10: in Q one, it's now down one point nine percent 157 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 10: year on year. And if we have a very quick 158 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 10: look at wages, the private sector labor costs index rows 159 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 10: zero point four percent and your growth is coming in 160 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 10: at two point six percent. 161 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 4: That's below expectations. 162 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 10: Then there's an interesting thee which I'm sure you're going 163 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 10: to love when I talk about. 164 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: This average hour earnings the private sector. 165 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: Giving my money, Andrew, where's the money? 166 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 10: The private sector up zero point two percent quarter on quarter, 167 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 10: three point eight percent year on years. 168 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 4: Now, the RBNZ had that at four point six so 169 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: that's quite a bit weaker than expecting. 170 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 10: But if we just cast our eye across to the 171 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 10: public sector, now just zero point two percent on the 172 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 10: private sector and ten times that on the public sector 173 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 10: two quarter on quarter annual growth, annual growth for public 174 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 10: sector six point six percent. That's a little bit higher 175 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 10: than the private sector, and that's the result of all 176 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 10: the previous public. 177 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 4: Sector where pay agreements coming through. 178 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: Fortunately, they're so good at what they do, so. 179 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: That's dead right, it's value for money anyway. 180 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: That's all all on that theme though. Briscoes if they 181 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: care if if they're hurting, everyone's hurting, aren't they. 182 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, So we've talked about the sort of green shoots 183 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 10: wilting a little bit. So the Rockstar retail of Briscoes 184 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 10: released first quarter sales start yesterday, probably supportive of that wilting. 185 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 4: Green green shoot analogy. Remember last year, we're always talking 186 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 4: towards the end of the last year. Well, was it 187 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 4: survived till twenty five? Right? 188 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 10: Well, I think we've now got to persist till twenty six. 189 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 10: Brisco's reported a two point five eight percent fall in 190 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 10: sales in the first quarter, so one hundred and seventy 191 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 10: eight point three million against one hundred and eighty three 192 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 10: in the same quarter last year. 193 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: It's the home where that's doing it. 194 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 10: That decreased four points sixty six percent. They did manage 195 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 10: to lift sporting good sales zero point four seven percent. 196 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 10: Rod Duke called it a called it difficult struggling retail environment. 197 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 10: It was warm, so they didn't sell as many heating 198 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 10: products as they could. If they anticipate New Zealand retail 199 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 10: remain highly challenging but they will get a better second half. 200 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 4: And the market was actually comfortable with this. Share price 201 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 4: gained twelve cents. 202 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: Man of what I was surprised about. I mean, good 203 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: on them, but I didn't think the ComCom could live 204 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 2: with it. 205 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 10: No neither did there was I think the market was 206 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 10: quite surprised as well. If you look at the man 207 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 10: of a share price matter what was obviously pre formally 208 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 10: trust power. The market didn't actually believe this. So when 209 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 10: the common Coom yesterday came out and said it's all good. 210 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: You get a great big. 211 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 10: Surgeon the man of a share price and I haven't 212 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 10: got in front of it, I think it was up 213 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 10: twenty six cents or something, or twenty six percent sorry, 214 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 10: So that sort of indicates. 215 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 4: That the market wasn't thinking this was going to come 216 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 4: out here. 217 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 10: The ComCom was satisfied that the acquisition is unlikely substantially 218 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 10: less in the competition in New Zealand market. Contact now 219 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 10: your second largest generation, second largest generator in US on. 220 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 10: I think there'll be a bit more commentary about this 221 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 10: and could potentially be a little bit pledgable as well. 222 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: So it cands on that Chinese stimulus, and I alluded 223 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 2: to so they're working fairly hard. 224 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, they cut the reserve requirement of fifty basis points. 225 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 10: They're injecting liquidity into the market. They're obviously concerned, and 226 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 10: you know, you've you only know what you know out 227 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 10: of China, don't you, because you're not entirely sure what's 228 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 10: happening under the hood. But that would seem to indicate 229 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 10: that they are concerned about the impact of TARIS and 230 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 10: what is effectively a trade embargo at the moment between 231 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 10: the US and China. 232 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: Numbers please sow. 233 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 4: The US markets have weakened off of it. 234 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 10: As I said, at one stage, Dale Jones was up 235 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 10: three hundred points, but just looking the last time I 236 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 10: had a chance to check post the FED, it's up 237 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 10: sixty eight, so it's dropped off a little bit.

The 413 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: de stocking issue cows and sheep ands that we don't 414 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: have as many. Is de stocking and planting pine trees 415 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 2: an issue? 416 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 14: Oh? 417 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 11: That's very much an issue. 418 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that'll see. So you're looking what the reason 419 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: I'm asking Obviously you're selling more than you ever have. 420 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: Do you need more land in cows and less land 421 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 2: and trees? 422 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: Oh? 423 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 11: This is critical and it's critical fearlessners to understand. What 424 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 11: they're doing is they're planting the areas that breed our sheep, 425 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 11: so where for example, our sheep go out on this 426 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 11: extensive hill country and that's the country that produces all 427 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 11: the lambs. Now on the flat land, that's where the 428 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 11: lambs get fatten and they grow out and they eventually 429 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 11: get sold. But we need that hill country to do 430 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 11: our breeding to to bit of cows out on over 431 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 11: the winter in different periods, and so when that gets 432 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 11: covered in pine trees, then those animals have to move 433 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 11: down onto the flats, which was our land to finish 434 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 11: them on. I mean it's I don't mean to get technical, 435 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 11: but it is very technical because because this is why 436 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 11: we need to tidy it up. We've got to look 437 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 11: after our breeding country so that we can have our 438 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 11: fat and country. 439 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: To do what we do very well.

That's the same 444 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: with humans. I mean, if you spent your life on 445 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: a hill, you'd be fit, and then you go down 446 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 2: to the flat and then you get fat.

We'll 485 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 2: go to junt just a couple of moments at the Vatican. 486 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: Wait watches as filed for bankruptcy sixty two years old. 487 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: It's into chapter eleven, the beauty of chapter eleven. You 488 00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 2: know why they've done it? A zipc. I mean, no 489 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 2: one's eating dry cake and strawberry shakes when you can 490 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 2: jab yourself and take a pill. Founded in nineteen sixty 491 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 2: three by Gene She was a self described overweight housewife 492 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: obsessed with cookies, who was fed up with fad diets 493 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: and pills. So wait, watch as it was, and then 494 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 2: they came along with the gpls and that was the 495 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: end of them. Oprah didn't help anyway, Joe, how are 496 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 2: you now? She's gone? Why don't we just ring her 497 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: on the phone, for goodness? Get her on the phone. 498 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: How we're working on it into the Vatican for goodness sake? 499 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: It turns out it's a bit busy. Let me come 500 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: back to the rugby today. So the annual meeting are 501 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: the financial moneies will be presented to us. For the 502 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 2: twenty four financial year. Twenty twenty three, they had a 503 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 2: statutory loss of eight point nine million dollars. This year 504 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: they're bracing for a loss as well. Regionally. It's interesting 505 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: Auckland Rugby profited one point six million, but that comes 506 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: mainly from matchpees out of the All Blacks. So if 507 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 2: you're a major center that gets money from the All 508 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: Black test money, then you're in other provincial union's places 509 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 2: like Wellington, who don't get the same number of tests 510 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 2: one point two million dollar loss. They've got problems with players, 511 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 2: the cost of players, caps on players. So my overarching concern. 512 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: David Kirk's the new chairman. Of course you would assume 513 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: from his business credentials he's going to be able to 514 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: turn the thing around. Hopefully turn the thing around. But 515 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: how is it possible that the National Game cannot make money? 516 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 2: This is the biggest thing going we have and we 517 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: still can't turn a dollar. 518 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 4: Do we have. 519 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: Joe Josephine, how are you? No, she's with him. We 520 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: have got her on the phone, Joe, you with us. No, 521 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 2: she's not there either. That's gone. You guys sort it out. 522 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: We'll come back to her in just a couple of moments. 523 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: Starting away from seven. 524 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: The make Hosking Breakfast with a Vita Retirement Communities News 525 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: Togsdad b. 526 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 2: But I prayed during the ad break, so this should work. Joe, 527 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: morning to. 528 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 16: You, Good morning, Mike. I'm sorry about that. I think 529 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 16: we've got security blocking signals here around Saint Peter Square. 530 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: Isn't it one of the ironic things that people men 531 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: who have given their life to the church can't be 532 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 2: trusted to take a phone inside. 533 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 16: Well, they've been in there now for almost three hours, 534 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 16: and I'm starting to think have they come to a 535 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 16: decision in the first round that we may even have 536 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 16: a pope this evening, because this is really unusual. Even 537 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 16: though we know that we have one hundred and thirty 538 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 16: three in there, that's a high number than we've had 539 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 16: in the past, but this seems really unusual. 540 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: Okay, so unusually. I was going to ask, what is 541 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: it they've done other than lobbying each other for the 542 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: past two weeks, and therefore, why wouldn't a quick vote, 543 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. 544 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 16: Well, they've had plenty of time to wine and dine 545 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 16: in various restaurants around town and meet for coffee in 546 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 16: various cafes. But yeah, I mean, I thought it would 547 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 16: be a quick vote tonight, that we would see some 548 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 16: votes for the lead contender, the Secretary of State, Pietro Perolin, 549 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 16: who seems to have, according to media reports, around fifty votes, 550 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 16: but of course that could change. I mean is it 551 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 16: possible that he has managed to put together eighty nine 552 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 16: and have that majority that he needs to be Pope 553 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 16: this evening? I think he would be the likely contender. 554 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 16: Otherwise we're going to have a split vote tonight and 555 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 16: then we'll be back here tomorrow. But we're still waiting 556 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 16: for that smoke in Saint Peter's Square. 557 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: What time is it eight or nine? 558 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 16: It's almost nine o'clock and as we know, many of 559 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 16: those cardinals are quite elderly, and they have to come 560 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 16: back early tomorrow morning. So it's quite unusual that this 561 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 16: is dragging on. 562 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 2: Okay, if it's the front runner that you mentioned, what 563 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 2: do we know of him? 564 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 16: If it is Cardinal Pietro Parolin, he has been a 565 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 16: diplomat all his life. He's been a faithful and loyal 566 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 16: Secretary of State, working closely with Pope Francis. He went 567 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 16: to Moscow in twenty nineteen, long before the conflict with Ukraine. 568 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 16: He's quite reserved. He would not see the sort of 569 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 16: character that would electrify the church, but he would be 570 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 16: considered a safe pair of hands and a moderate that 571 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,239 Speaker 16: would bring together various factions. I think inside that conclat. 572 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: You are literally embedded, so you sleep, whear eat, where 573 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: what happens for you. 574 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 16: I'm just a couple of blocks away from St. Peters Square. 575 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 16: I'll be following every vote in the next couple of 576 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 16: days if we have more. And it's hard to get 577 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 16: me sleep at the moment because it's all happening and 578 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 16: there are thousands of people here in the square waiting 579 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 16: to see the smoke. 580 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: It is amazing, isn't it. I take it you can 581 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: see the chimney. 582 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 16: I can see the chimney from where I'm standing. The 583 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 16: basilica looks magnificent tonight. There's a clear blue sky and 584 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 16: a few stars. It's really amazing. But the crowd is 585 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 16: getting restless. Some people are leaving and some have starneed 586 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 16: the slope clapping that usually expected. 587 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: Are ott that's such a social media age thing, isn't 588 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 2: I mean, it's the election of a pope. I mean, 589 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: just are this boring? It's been going on an hour 590 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: and a half now, I mean, get over yourself. What 591 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 2: have they done? And I do remember when Francis got 592 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 2: elected the seagull thing on the roof, that they done 593 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 2: anything about that. 594 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 16: Well, there were a few more seagulls floating around tonight, 595 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 16: and I have to say as soon as one popped 596 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 16: up close to the chimney, the photographers were madly snapping. 597 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 16: So yeah, plenty of action on that chimney in seagull. 598 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: Land, hanging there. Joe, Nice to talk to you, Joe McKenna, 599 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 2: who is embedded at the Vatican waiting for the smoke 600 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 2: five minutes away from seven. 601 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: Well, the ins and the outs, it's the biz with 602 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: business favor take your business productivity to the next level. 603 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: I'm not Catholic, but I find the process fascinating and 604 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: I am a very big fan. And I thought about 605 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 2: this at Westminster Abby a couple of years ago when 606 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 2: I sat watching the coronation. I'm a massive fan of 607 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 2: things that have been going since time and Memorial House. Slacker. 608 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: We from our houselacker. We file pretty slack. We're one 609 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 2: of the least productive countries in the world. Our GDP 610 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: per our work is lower than virtually everyone we compare 611 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: ourselves to. So just to reinforce that, this morning, Robert Half, 612 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 2: I've got a new report out. They've spoke to full 613 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 2: time office workers who overall believed they would be more 614 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 2: productive if they worked from home. Sometimes no kidding. Essentially, 615 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: it's a ViBe's report. They were asked if that they 616 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: believe that working from home, working in the office, or 617 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 2: hybrid working had a positive or negative impact on them. 618 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: Sixty three percent so that they worked from home it 619 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 2: would have a positive impact, sixteen percent said it would 620 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: be negative. When those people working in the office full time, well, 621 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 2: forty two percent said that was positive, thirty two percent 622 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 2: said it was negative. And who doesn't love a hybrid week. 623 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: We all love a hybrid week, don't we. Seventy percent 624 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 2: being able to work from home some of the time 625 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: would have a positive impact on enhancing their productivity. The 626 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 2: ability to walk freely to the fridge and back would 627 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: enhance the day immeasurably. Were the nine to five part 628 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: of it. Fifty seven percent said they were more productive 629 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: outside the traditional working house, mainly because of the repub 630 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 2: Six percent said they didn't think it mattered where they 631 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 2: work for their productivity output. Eighty three percent this was 632 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 2: the number I found most in. Eighty three percent said, 633 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: let's be honest, I can't be asked most of the 634 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: time anyway. You sound skeptical about hybrid work, and yet 635 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: you are a hybrid worker. I'm only a hybrid worker, 636 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: as I've said many times before, because I don't like 637 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: being here. 638 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 17: Yeah, so that's exactly what those people are saying, and 639 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 17: you continually take the first. 640 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: If I could work here for the rest of my day, 641 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 2: and for all of those people who texted me the 642 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 2: other day going how can you get up so early 643 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: your show stance at six o'clock? If I could do 644 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: my work that I do during the day here, I 645 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: probably would. You can. Nobody else sits there, No, there's 646 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: people that they keep. Your disc is sacricent. I sat 647 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 2: there yesterday, did you yet? 648 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 17: Pretending to be I did some hybrid work there yesterday. 649 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: I knew it was someone someone who smelled bad and 650 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 2: left stuff behind. I thought that'll be gilling, and I'm right. 651 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: You've just outed yourself. Nicholas Willis the Finance Minister, shortly. 652 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: News, Opinion and every in between, the Mike Hosking breakfast 653 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: with the range Rover villa designed to intrigue and use 654 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: tod sad. 655 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: Be seven past seven if you missed it. The black 656 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: smoke came out, which means they're done for the day. 657 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 2: One vote today, four tomorrow, and so black smoke of 658 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 2: course means that they could not decide, so we go 659 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 2: into at least tomorrow back home. Jobless number came out yesterday. 660 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: Surprise to the upside as the number turned out to 661 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: be five point one, which is better than the big 662 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: brains were thinking they had five point two five point three. 663 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: Full time work was down forty five thousand, offset to 664 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 2: some degree by the growth and part time work. Finance 665 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: Minister Nicola willis with us. Good morning, Good morning mate. 666 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 2: What are your spidery sensors saying? 667 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 18: Is this it? 668 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 9: Well? 669 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 19: Treasury have been forecasting that they expect unemployment to peak 670 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 19: later this year and to start coming down. And that's 671 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 19: what I still think is going to happen, because we 672 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 19: do have an economic recovery underway. We had GDP growing 673 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 19: in the last quarter of last year, and generally what 674 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 19: that means is soon enough unemployment starts following. 675 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to think that was true. I've got 676 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: bad news for you. I'm doing the live GDP this morning. 677 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: They've got us down on the quarterly change and the 678 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 2: annual change down a minus zero point one for the quarter. 679 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 2: So maybe this growth thing isn't happening the way we 680 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 2: thought it was. 681 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 19: Well, what we know is that consumer confidence and business 682 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 19: confidence has been recovering. But at the same time, all 683 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 19: of these international events have definitely had an impact on 684 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 19: people's views about how the economy is going to go, 685 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 19: and therefore how much they're investing, and therefore their readiness 686 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 19: to take on new workers and all of those sorts 687 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 19: of things. So I think with the uncertainty that we're having, 688 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 19: we could see that these numbers going up and down 689 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 19: a little bit. But as I say, Treasury and others 690 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 19: continue to forecast that the economic recovery is underway, just 691 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 19: not quite as fast as we. 692 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 2: Were all hoping. Do you worry about the under utilization 693 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 2: rate and do you worry about the young people who 694 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: can't get work? 695 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 19: Of course I always do. I want to see young 696 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 19: people getting into work. What the data indicates is that 697 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 19: there are more young people going into study rather than 698 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 19: work at the moment. But there are two sides to 699 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 19: the data yesterday. On the one hand, it's always good 700 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 19: to see unemployment lower than the boffins are forecasting. On 701 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 19: the other hand, it's clear that some people are going 702 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 19: into part time work rather than full time work and 703 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 19: aren't getting as many hours of work as they would 704 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 19: like to be so. I want to see all of 705 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 19: those numbers improving. 706 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: Barbara Edmunds yesterday busy blaming you for not spending enough money, 707 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 2: and as easily as we can dismiss this, it is 708 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 2: a political argument. How much of this recovery relies on 709 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 2: the Edmunds recipe of you spending money versus the rest 710 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 2: of us getting out and actually doing something about it. 711 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 19: It's about everyone feeling confident in the business community and 712 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 19: in the private sector that they can invest, do things, 713 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 19: take on new markets. That's how recoveries happen. New Zealand 714 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 19: at the moment is spending more than it is earning 715 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 19: by a huge proportion. In fact, compared to other countries 716 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 19: in the world. Our government is doing more of that 717 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 19: than many many others. So to say that the way 718 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 19: to get our economic recout is just to drive this 719 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 19: country into even deeper debt, I think is financially and 720 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 19: economically ignorant. That is not the way recoveries come from 721 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 19: businesses feeling confident, feeling that the future is a good 722 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 19: place they can invest. They can hard people conditions we're 723 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 19: trying to set. 724 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 2: It's not in your area specifically, but you're the most 725 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: senior minister we've got today. Luxen and Upston were in 726 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 2: Rougaru yesterday. This tourism thing. You've removed one of those barriers, 727 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: those language barriers for visas into this country. I told 728 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: you many people told you about this months ago being 729 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 2: a hurdle and an impediment to getting tourism growth. It 730 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 2: was only yesterday. Why are you guys so slow at 731 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: this stuff. 732 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 19: Well, look, our initial advice was that there were a 733 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 19: number of risks worth doing that, and then we've sat 734 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 19: down and we've looked carefully through it, and we've determined 735 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 19: that this is a change that we can make and 736 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 19: we should make because it will support more tourists coming. 737 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 14: To the country. 738 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 19: We told you that months ago, Yes you did, but 739 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 19: we had to weigh all of the evidence, and we 740 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 19: had to weigh the advice that we were getting from 741 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 19: our officials saying that they did think that there were 742 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 19: risks to this. We've weighed that was made an appropriate decision. 743 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time. Nicola Willis the Finance minister, speaking of 744 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 2: we'll put it blunt, leave me running the country. I 745 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: was name checked yet again in Parliament yesterday, but we'll 746 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 2: come to that. Later eleven past seven Passki Grand Power 747 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 2: wanting to upgrade the cook straight power cable current One's 748 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: done to a degree sometime next decade. The cost is 749 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: about one point four billion. Well that's what they say today. 750 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 2: John Carney, of course, is the boss of Energy Resources 751 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 2: Anti R back with us on the program. John, very 752 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 753 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 5: Good morning Mike. 754 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 2: So they put some consultation out. Is there anything actually 755 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 2: to consult on if something needs replacing? It needs replacing, 756 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 757 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 5: Well yeah, I mean it's a it's a good proposal. Obviously, 758 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 5: the Comments Commission will need to scrutinize it to ensure 759 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 5: that the numbers are robust and the program executable. So 760 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 5: so we'll see where that gets to. 761 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 2: Does it is the industry wide agreement that we're up 762 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 2: I mean, this thing started in sixty five, was replaced 763 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety one. It looks old. 764 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, look at the end off it's nearing. It's 765 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 5: the end of its operational life. And this is Transparwer 766 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 5: doing what it does best, which is a bit of 767 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 5: four planning and advising the market that this thing's are 768 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 5: coming at us, and we'll need scrutiny by everybody so 769 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 5: by users, by the generators, by end consumers, and we'll 770 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 5: see where it getested. 771 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 2: This is part of this is the most interesting thing 772 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: for me is I can't remember who it was, but 773 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 2: they got permission Transpower to get more money off us 774 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 2: by way of power bills to do this sort of thing. 775 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 2: How I don't know what the word is. Risky is 776 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 2: what they do when it comes to charging us more 777 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 2: for power to do what they would argue is super 778 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 2: important for infrastructure. 779 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,280 Speaker 5: Oh well, look, that's the role of the Commerce Commission 780 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 5: primarily to regulate transpowers, transactions and spending because of course 781 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 5: transpar is a monopoly that doesn't face competition. So you know, 782 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 5: the Commerce Commission will closely analyze this proposal for approval 783 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 5: and look, given that the replacement seems like the sensible 784 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 5: thing to do, well, actually focus on and whether the 785 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 5: overall benefits actually justify the proposing to go from three 786 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 5: to four cables. So I imagine that's where the focus 787 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 5: will be. 788 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 2: Good stuff, John, Always enjoy having you on the program, 789 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 2: John Carnegie Energy Resources are Boss. Thirty minutes past seven 790 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 2: fas gets clump you work and watching the Chimney live stream. 791 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 2: It's getting dark won't all smokey black shortly anyway. No, no, no, 792 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 2: it's a city's You will see dark smoke as you've 793 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 2: just seen literally a couple of moments ago. So cabin 794 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 2: footprint of all this, don't ask well, it depends how 795 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 2: long the vote goes. Obviously it gets worse. That's it 796 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,959 Speaker 2: goes the worse it becomes rugby. Mike. You probably can't 797 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 2: read this out of course I can't. I'm not taking 798 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 2: the mickey. The women's game is costing. It's worth an 799 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 2: interview with David Kirk or somebody like that. I'm not 800 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 2: anti women's rugby, but I do know for a fact 801 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 2: it is not watched, and it is not supported in 802 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 2: the way that many would probably like, and there is 803 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 2: a cost of doing it. That might be in part 804 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 2: our answer to why the New Zealand rugby Union, who 805 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 2: announced their losses today are in the position they currently are. 806 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: Fourteen past the mic asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on 807 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio powered by News Talks at. 808 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 2: B latest the second report from the Committee looking into 809 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 2: Organized crime in this country have got their run one 810 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: their bindings and be the recommendations will have a look 811 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: at what they are shortly sixteen past seven, make Lundy 812 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 2: speaking of crime, been released from prison back among us. 813 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: He spent twenty three years, of course, with the murder 814 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 2: of his wife and daughter. Current suppression orders mean it 815 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 2: can't be revealed where he will live now. The question 816 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 2: being asked, of course, as do we have a right 817 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 2: to know? Now the criminal lawyer Steve Cullen is back. 818 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 2: Well the Steve, very good morning to you. 819 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 14: Good morning. 820 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 2: More very clear on this or is it case by case? 821 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 14: No, it is very clear. They do not release where 822 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 14: people are going to be paroled too, with their addresses 823 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 14: will be because obviously they want to try and integrate 824 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 14: them back into the community. And if we run the 825 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 14: rest of vigilante groups, media throngs all and all, they've 826 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 14: decided that it's fassa for if which just simply released 827 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 14: these people. Are trying and slip them back to the 828 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 14: community as best we can. 829 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 2: Very difficult anyway, isn't it. In a country the size 830 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 2: of New Zealand at five million people. I think if 831 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 2: you put some energy into it, you could probably find 832 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: it anyway, couldn't you. 833 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: Well, absolutely right. 834 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 14: We're a small country with a small population. 835 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 2: And having said that, I side with on this this way, 836 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 2: I asked about the cases. So Lundy is convicted of 837 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: a murder of his wife and daughter, he's not a 838 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 2: danger to the wider community. That would be different to 839 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 2: the bloke who is a serial killer or a sex 840 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 2: offender who ran his time and is not entirely convinced 841 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 2: the parole boarder you shouldn't be behind bars forever. Do 842 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 2: you see the difference? 843 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 14: Yes, I do see the distinction. The prob would of 844 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 14: course makes the distermination with somebody suitable for release or not, 845 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 14: But certainly the public interest in somebody who's more likely 846 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 14: to be a predator on his fellow citizens would be 847 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 14: somewhat higher. 848 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 2: What's the financials running? There's no answer to this question. 849 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 2: But a guy's been in jail for twenty three years, 850 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 2: what's he doing. Is he going out to get a 851 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 2: job and doing well with the rest of his life? 852 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 2: Who is going to be on the benefit forever? 853 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 4: Oh? Well, there's hope. 854 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 14: They seek a placement, They talk to people who are 855 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 14: going to be there to support them, They have some 856 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 14: sort of network, they'll ever residents are going to inhabit. 857 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 14: Hopefully there's some sort of employment plan. They've been working 858 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 14: towards that, and then they slowly slip. Often they have 859 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 14: guided release, monitored release at the beginning to see how 860 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 14: well they go. They've already been entering the community. They've 861 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 14: determined that that's working, so then they say, all right, now, 862 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 14: let's see if we can take the next step of 863 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 14: having you fully reintegrate it. 864 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 2: And some good stuff might appreciate it. Steve Callen, criminal lawyer. 865 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 2: Funnily enough, I was watching an interview with Barry Hearn 866 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: who runs snooker globally. Eddie Hearn is the boxing guy. 867 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 2: Barry's his dad and runs darts and snooker. Anyway, I 868 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 2: was talking about the bloke who won the World championship, 869 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 2: who of course was done for match fixing. There were 870 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 2: about ten Chinese done for match fixing and a betting 871 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 2: scandal and stuff like that, and he was asked whether 872 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 2: or not this is right that a guy who's a 873 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 2: cheat and a convicted cheat and was found cheating only 874 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 2: got banned for two years. And he's very much of 875 00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 2: the let's move forward. You can't look in the res 876 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,320 Speaker 2: you mirror, You can't punish somebody if the punishment is 877 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 2: the punishment. You can't keep looking back forever and Lundy's 878 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,800 Speaker 2: served as time and we either have the system or 879 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 2: we don't. And you can't punish a bloke after twenty 880 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 2: three years and go, I wonder where he lives. Oh, 881 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 2: I don't really want him in the community. I mean, 882 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 2: or if you don't like that, then you change the 883 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 2: entire system. And I don't see that we're changing the 884 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 2: entire system, are we. I've got some issues around what's 885 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 2: happening in America and how it potentially affects what's happening 886 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 2: here in the moment. As regards the media. Seven twenty. 887 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, how 888 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 1: It by News Talk SEP. 889 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 2: Kiwi Dream.

SBS Bank have been 891 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 2: helping us achieve that particular dream for one hundred and 892 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,240 Speaker 2: fifty five years, so they're so good at it.

Little 911 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 2: bit of Beltway excitement a couple of weeks ago when 912 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 2: Winston Peters turned up on the Breakfast Show at the 913 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 2: National Broadcaster and got a bit bothered with the question 914 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 2: line so threatened to cut the funding. This, of course 915 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 2: was hot air. Many in the Beltway, though sadly, had 916 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 2: their sense of humor. If not absurd surgically removed at birth, 917 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 2: so they took it seriously. No such thing is going 918 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 2: to happen, of course, for a series of pretty obvious reasons, 919 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 2: none of which I'm going to bore you with now. 920 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 2: But the earnestness with which they grimaced was based on 921 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 2: the idea that there are those who can and do 922 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 2: threaten public broadcasters around the world. The latest is mister D. 923 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 2: Trump of Washington, who has signed an executive order to 924 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 2: stop funding PBS, among others. This, like everything else, is 925 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 2: headed to court and may well win, because the argument 926 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 2: of weight appears to be public broadcasting and its funding 927 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 2: is a congressional thing, and therefore an executive order from 928 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 2: the bloke in the corner office doesn't count. The Trump argument, 929 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 2: and this is worth pondering, is that public money undermines independence, 930 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 2: and the media is vastly changed in recent years, and 931 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 2: a government operation is no longer necessary. And I actually 932 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 2: have some sympathy for that argument. Public radio here has 933 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 2: the concert program for example, it plays a lot of 934 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 2: classical music. Very few people listen to it. Why are 935 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 2: we paying for it? Commercial radio doesn't cover everything, of course, 936 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 2: children's educational programming we don't cover. But having said that, 937 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 2: I don't think public radio does that either. In America, 938 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,280 Speaker 2: publicly funded television invented Sesame Street. I mean, that's of value. 939 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 2: Here we have New Zealand on air. Why do we 940 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 2: have that as well as publicly funded television and radio? 941 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 2: Why don't we just have a funding system for product 942 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 2: we want to promote and tender it to those who 943 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 2: want to run it on their platforms. Is it a 944 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 2: fair question to ask here that, although they claim neutrality, 945 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 2: would a snap pole of people on the street suggest 946 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 2: radio and television New Zealand and neutral? Is the BBC 947 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 2: seen as neutral? Is the ABC in Australia a bastion 948 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 2: of straight up and down middle balance? As always with Trump, 949 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 2: the seat of a decent thought is lost in the noise, 950 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 2: in the bluster. But ask the question what is so 951 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 2: unique about public Talian public radio? Whether here in America? 952 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 2: Are here America, Britain, Australia that needs so much of 953 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 2: our money? Asking as pleasant Mike as David Parker is, 954 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 2: or his tomb will always be remembered for his helpable 955 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 2: hate for the successful. 956 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 4: And the rich. 957 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 2: Pricks Tony, It's an interesting thing I struggle with David 958 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 2: Parker because he gave his valedictory for you don't know 959 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 2: why we're talking about David Parker, who gave his valedictory 960 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon, and it was classic David Parker. You wouldn't 961 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 2: buy tickets to it. But you're right, he is a 962 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 2: nice guy. He's a very likable guy. And I know 963 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 2: a bloke who knows him particularly well and was in 964 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 2: business with him, and he is and has described himself 965 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 2: as a serial entrepreneur. So it's not like, in fact, 966 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 2: he's the only person, as far as I can remember, 967 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 2: in the Labor Caucus whoever ran a business actually ran 968 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,320 Speaker 2: a business. The rest of them are pretenders and university 969 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 2: and people hang out in libraries and unions. So he's 970 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 2: the only actual businessman in the place. And yet despite 971 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 2: being in the so called real world he started out 972 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 2: with they two, despite being in the real world, he 973 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 2: still argues for a wealth tax and all that other stuff. Mike, 974 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 2: I wonder if the minimum wage being at twenty three 975 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 2: to fifty is preventing young people from getting a job 976 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 2: without any training. Employers are possibly looking experienced. And I 977 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 2: couldn't agree with you more. Had the argument with John Key, 978 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 2: many many years ago. When you said we don't need 979 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,919 Speaker 2: a youth wage, I said, John, we need a youth wage. 980 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 2: Eventually he came to the conclusion we needed a youth 981 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,920 Speaker 2: wage because if you're paying the same dollars to a 982 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 2: twenty nine year old who's been in the workforce for 983 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,959 Speaker 2: several years versus a seventeen year old who's barely left school, Ben, 984 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,879 Speaker 2: why are you hiring them? See, we just need more 985 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 2: mic Hosking based policy. Wait till I get to what 986 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: was unfolding in Parliament yesterday as regards my good self, 987 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 2: which we will do shortly. We'll also deal with this 988 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 2: new report, little latest report into crime. 989 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: In New Zealand's home for trusted news and views, the 990 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,240 Speaker 1: mic Hosking breakfit with Bailey's real estate, your local experts 991 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 1: across residential, commercial and rural news togs d. 992 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 2: Be sorry, mate, I mean a Dune's Public Interest Journalism fund. 993 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 2: I didn't see any public interest in ourans AD one 994 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 2: news and three news. Jimmy getting slightly confused, But let 995 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 2: me come back to that in a couple of moments. 996 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 2: But a lot of feedback along those lines. Twenty three 997 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 2: minutes away from eight, the organized Crime Advisory Group back 998 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 2: this morning with their second report finds we're willingly funneling 999 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 2: money into organized crime groups through the purchasing of drugs 1000 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 2: and dumb scams. Meanwhile, the police are who bring up 1001 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 2: just seventy five million dollars worth of criminal assets, which 1002 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 2: they think accounts for about four percent of what's actually 1003 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 2: out there. Steve Simon is the Tier of the Ministry, 1004 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 2: your Advisory Group, and is back with this. Steve, very 1005 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 2: good morning to you morning mate. So we're attractive as 1006 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,080 Speaker 2: a market. Is that because everywhere is attractive as a 1007 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 2: market at the moment, or we in New Zealand are 1008 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:24,360 Speaker 2: a little bit sleep at the wheel. 1009 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 17: Everywhere is attractive as a market. New Zealand is particularly 1010 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 17: attractive because, on the one hand, because of our remoteness, 1011 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 17: we're doing everything we can to be the easiest place 1012 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,800 Speaker 17: in the world to do business. The downside of that 1013 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 17: is it also means we're one of the easiest places 1014 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 17: organized crime to do business. And we're also attractive because, 1015 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 17: for example, with meth and fetamine, New Zealanders will pay 1016 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 17: a price for metham fetamine which is higher than most 1017 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,399 Speaker 17: other places in the world. 1018 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 2: How depressing is it to say that. 1019 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 17: It's pretty it's pretty challenging to think of what that 1020 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,680 Speaker 17: means for us as New Zealander. Is what that means 1021 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 17: for me? What means for my kids? And so that's 1022 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 17: part of the reason why we're looking at trying to 1023 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 17: find ways tools for the police and other enforcement agencies 1024 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,320 Speaker 17: to do something about it. 1025 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,919 Speaker 2: Are they what's your summation from this group of yours 1026 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,280 Speaker 2: so far on? And this debtails into the four percent 1027 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 2: on assets as well of what the job police are 1028 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 2: doing good or not. 1029 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 17: The police are doing a really good job. I think 1030 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 17: the difficult is by international standards that four point two 1031 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 17: percent is actually very good. The point, as your notice, 1032 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 17: they just can't it's just not good enough to move 1033 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 17: the dial to disrupt organized crime. Our police are doing 1034 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 17: great with the tools that they've got, working really hard 1035 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 17: with the tools that they've got to seize that amount 1036 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,800 Speaker 17: of money, and it's not insignificant. We just think that 1037 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 17: if we are going to actually disrupt organized crime, we 1038 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,319 Speaker 17: need to give them better tools. 1039 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 2: Exactly. So a two part question on this, what are 1040 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 2: those tools, how legislatively heavy are they and are you 1041 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 2: telling people like Mitchell anything they don't already know? 1042 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 17: Question Mike there are a number of changes, and number 1043 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 17: of them will be legislators and what we've done is 1044 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 17: set it up in a report of riety of them 1045 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 17: in relation to the proceeds of crime regime, also in 1046 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 17: relation to the money laundering regime, and also around what 1047 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 17: we can do in relation to cash. Some of those 1048 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 17: will require changes to the acts that govern them, and 1049 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,960 Speaker 17: we've been in consultation with Minister Castella in relation to that. 1050 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 17: We've also seen where we will need changes to be 1051 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 17: made by government agencies and we've had conversations again with 1052 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 17: the Minister about how those might be achieved. 1053 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 2: I think I'll asked you this time when the first report, 1054 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 2: are you bullish on where you sit, on the difference 1055 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,320 Speaker 2: you're making that we're traveling in the right direction and 1056 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 2: something good will come out of us tangibly? 1057 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 4: Yes. 1058 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 17: I mean we were told to be bold, we were 1059 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 17: told to shift the dial and to do it in 1060 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 17: a meaningful way, and so our recommendations have been very 1061 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 17: bold because we know, on the one hand we want 1062 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 17: to balance private individuals interests, but also we want to 1063 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 17: on behalf of New Zealand do something to tackle this problem. 1064 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 2: Good on you, and I wish you the best and 1065 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,239 Speaker 2: we'll get you on with your extra report. Steve Simon, 1066 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,839 Speaker 2: who's the chair of the Ministerial Advisory Group for Organized Crime, 1067 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 2: it's worth looking if you can be bothered. In Parliament 1068 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 2: yesterday Shane Jones gave a very sober answer. And the 1069 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,879 Speaker 2: reason I emphasized that is normally Shane Jones as sort 1070 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 2: of hilarious in his answers, nothing's taken particularly serious, but 1071 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 2: yesterday spoke very seriously about the drug addled nature of 1072 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 2: his part of the world and the far north of 1073 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 2: this country. And if you ever want to see what 1074 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,320 Speaker 2: meth can do, and gangs can do, and organized crime 1075 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 2: can do, unfortunately in the Northland region, as you posted 1076 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 2: child nineteen minutes away from eight asking as regards to 1077 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 2: the Public Interest Journalism Fund, where you miss the point, Jim, 1078 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 2: is when you talk about Orion TV one, et cetera. 1079 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 2: That fund. The fault of it was you had to 1080 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 2: sign up to some sort of Teterrty pledge, which was 1081 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 2: its critical, critical error. And this is where the reputation 1082 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 2: goes down the drain fast. But it was available to everyone, 1083 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 2: so you seem to be focusing on the state run broadcasters. 1084 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 2: It was available to everyone. Nicola willis as much as 1085 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 2: I support this government for Nicholas note that consumer confidence 1086 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 2: is picking up his load of crap. Look at Brisco's 1087 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 2: the golden goose of New Zealand retail and the result 1088 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 2: that the quarter is negative, Well it's not negative. They 1089 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,239 Speaker 2: lose money. They're still making money, they just weren't making 1090 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,399 Speaker 2: as much money. There won't be a positive correction until 1091 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Cam Andrew callaher who he plays a 1092 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:32,759 Speaker 2: great deal of weight on because your big brain and 1093 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,839 Speaker 2: he works in this area, was talking about persisting until 1094 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 2: twenty six. The survived till twenty five. I'm still bullish 1095 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,479 Speaker 2: on twenty five because there's a couple of cuts coming 1096 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 2: very shortly from the RB and you're right about the 1097 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 2: consumer confidence, and that's flat as a pancake of not 1098 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 2: going backwards slightly at the moment. Manufacturing those different and 1099 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,320 Speaker 2: business is different, and confidence does lead to action. So 1100 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,439 Speaker 2: I'm still feeling okay about the latter part of twenty 1101 00:50:59,520 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 2: twenty five. 1102 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: Eighteen to two The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast 1103 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks at B. 1104 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 2: Seven forty five yesterday. Interesting times in the Parliament. I 1105 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 2: told you about Shane Jones a moment ago. Brook ben Velden. 1106 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 18: Featured what we are doing is making the system more robust, 1107 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 18: workable and sustainable, and on that basis, I do not 1108 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 18: agree with Thomas Coglan's characterization. However, I do agree with 1109 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 18: a different journalist characterization, which was Mike Hoskin from this morning. 1110 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 13: And the article said reform for the Pay Equity Act 1111 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:42,879 Speaker 13: is good. 1112 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 9: Stop till the the. 1113 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 4: The excitement settles down. 1114 00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 2: There was excitement in the house over the mention of 1115 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 2: my name, and. 1116 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: You can I think she got the fact that she 1117 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: got your name right. 1118 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 2: She got it spot on, which often they don't. That's correct, 1119 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,720 Speaker 2: But Jerry had to settle the rebel the low renters 1120 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 2: down because of course it's important when I'm quoted in 1121 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 2: the House that you know things go well. 1122 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,680 Speaker 18: What we are doing is making the system more robust, 1123 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,480 Speaker 18: workable and sustainable, and on that basis, I do not 1124 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 18: agree with Thomas Coglan's characterization. However, I do agree with 1125 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:24,240 Speaker 18: a different journalist characterization, which was Mike Hoskin from this morning, 1126 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 18: and the. 1127 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 13: Article said, reform for the Pay Equity. 1128 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 1: Act is good. 1129 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 9: To stop, just wait till the the the the excitement 1130 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 9: settles down. Just wait, I said, just wait, he. 1131 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 13: Said, Christine Bartlett was too many a hero. 1132 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,239 Speaker 2: She was a very likely to the point, you don't 1133 00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 2: need to finish, because, of course you will have been 1134 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,839 Speaker 2: listening to the program yesterday and you will have heard 1135 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,839 Speaker 2: my editorial using exactly that if I could just offer 1136 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 2: Union Brook some advice. Unfortunately, the reason that we're not 1137 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 2: staying the hook. Yeah, she is still going. 1138 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 9: Oh. 1139 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 2: She quoted virtually Mike Smithett and tire Mike Smithett. The 1140 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 2: difficulty is the delivery lacked a little bit of something 1141 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,760 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, and that it didn't 1142 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 2: come across us. 1143 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: Listen to this guy. 1144 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,160 Speaker 2: These are my words. Aren't sound as good as they 1145 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 2: did when I said them. She's still going, She's still 1146 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 2: got Oh. No, she ran the whole of Mike's My 1147 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 2: half hour. No, No, she had no No, it was 1148 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 2: nothing wrong with it. But she made a very salient point. 1149 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,239 Speaker 2: And what was interesting yesterday, and this is this is 1150 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 2: why I allude to this. The pay equity issue is 1151 00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,120 Speaker 2: never going to be sold because it never can be solved. 1152 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 2: As I tried to point out on the program yesterday, 1153 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 2: but what's so disingenuous about the Labor Party and the 1154 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 2: opposition in general, and you saw that in their reaction 1155 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 2: to the use of my name, is that they will 1156 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:49,400 Speaker 2: not and they absolutely refuse to delineate or differentiate between 1157 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,239 Speaker 2: a job and what you pay for that job, and 1158 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 2: whether it's fulfilled by a man or woman versus a 1159 00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 2: company or an industry that is predominantly men or women, 1160 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,959 Speaker 2: and they are two completely separate things. And Barbara Edmonds 1161 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 2: asked a question yesterday in a very emotive sort of way, 1162 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 2: talking about when will they pay people what they are worth? 1163 00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 6: Now? 1164 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,319 Speaker 2: What is worth? Who decides that? And the person who 1165 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 2: decides that is the person who writes the check. Now, 1166 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 2: do we live in a country at the moment where 1167 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,760 Speaker 2: there is a job open and you would pay different 1168 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,399 Speaker 2: money if the person was a woman versus you would 1169 00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,880 Speaker 2: pay different money if the job was held by a man. 1170 00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 2: And the answer is no, we don't do that. We 1171 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 2: moved on, and that is not part of the debat. 1172 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 2: And yet that's the part they still try and infiltrate 1173 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 2: the argument with what we're talking about is industries that 1174 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 2: are predominantly women or predominantly men. The rest time industry 1175 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,440 Speaker 2: being predominantly women. At that point you go, what is 1176 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 2: it worth? Now? What it's worth, of course, is what 1177 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 2: somebody is writing the check is prepared to write and 1178 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,839 Speaker 2: pay for. And if you saw the numbers yesterday coming 1179 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,200 Speaker 2: out from the state sector, the average hourly rate in 1180 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:58,640 Speaker 2: the state sector is vastly higher than it is in 1181 00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 2: the private sector, being paid more in the public sector 1182 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,359 Speaker 2: by a substantial amount. And yet are you getting better 1183 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,880 Speaker 2: service from the public sector. So that's the part they 1184 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,759 Speaker 2: can't argue or can't understand. It doesn't matter how much 1185 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 2: you pay somebody, it doesn't necessarily improve the service, whereas 1186 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 2: the private sector does understand that. And at the end 1187 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 2: of the day, you then get down to what they 1188 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 2: call comparators. So we can't work out what a rest 1189 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 2: home work is really worth. So what we'll do is 1190 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,560 Speaker 2: will compare you to a mechanic or a painter, which 1191 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 2: of course literally makes no sense. And probably the best 1192 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 2: argument yesterday was put forward by Winston Peters who argues 1193 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 2: the original law, which was enacted in twenty seventeen, actually worked, 1194 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,840 Speaker 2: whereas the current law, which is just like apples and 1195 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 2: pears and apples and cum quats, doesn't work, and all 1196 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 2: they're doing is going back to something that he argues 1197 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 2: did work in the first place, turn away from it. 1198 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: The Mike asking breakfast with the range rover Villa news, Tom's. 1199 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 2: Dead, b Whiodo's having away from mates at a time 1200 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,320 Speaker 2: when the New Zealand film industry is standing by for 1201 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,360 Speaker 2: what an earthy Trump terrified here actually means. The film commissioners, 1202 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 2: it turns out, who's out in the world on a 1203 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,360 Speaker 2: trade mission there in India, the UK and France to 1204 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 2: look for new investment partnerships and international productions. Annie Murray 1205 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 2: is the film commissioned boss and is with us from 1206 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 2: I think it's Britain. Any morning, Good morning, Mike, Yes, 1207 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 2: I'm in London. Do you feel at sea in a 1208 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,240 Speaker 2: world where you know not what happens tomorrow? 1209 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 9: Oh? 1210 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 20: Look, we are not speculating on the Trump a teriff's issue. 1211 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,719 Speaker 20: The latest we've heard is that the President Trump has 1212 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,439 Speaker 20: said he doesn't want to damage the industry. He wants 1213 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 20: to sit down with the major studios and talk about it. 1214 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,400 Speaker 4: And we think that's a good start. 1215 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 2: So is it everything that's talked about? Though, when you 1216 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 2: enter a room with anybody to do with film, that 1217 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,919 Speaker 2: did they say things like, oh what about Trump? 1218 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,919 Speaker 20: It's coming up. Definitely, there is some concern out there, 1219 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,320 Speaker 20: but everybody's in the same boat. We're all waiting for 1220 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,440 Speaker 20: detail on this thing, so we're not speculating. We're getting 1221 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 20: on with business. 1222 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,839 Speaker 2: How much businesses they're out there at the moment. Forget 1223 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 2: the tariffs that they never existed. Are there people with 1224 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 2: money out there in the world at the moment that 1225 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 2: like what we do and want to do business with us? 1226 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,239 Speaker 20: There definitely is. Co production is on the rise. That's 1227 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,359 Speaker 20: a really important part of our industry. We've just come 1228 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 20: from India where there are over three thousand films made 1229 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,800 Speaker 20: every year, all finance with private equity, so that's a 1230 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 20: thriving part of the industry. We've just had some excellent 1231 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 20: meetings yesterday with the British Film Institute where connecting these 1232 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 20: Zealand producers with the UK producers to develop more co production. 1233 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 20: So there's certainly a lot of business happening. We're looking 1234 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,320 Speaker 20: ahead to can next week we will be doing a 1235 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 20: lot more meetings and looking to grow this three point 1236 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 20: three billion dollar industry for New Zealand. 1237 00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 2: What's the cultural divide? So is an Indian movie. For example, 1238 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 2: we would be the location versus say a UK movie 1239 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 2: where we might put some stars in it and it's 1240 00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 2: a co lab that onscreen looks like in New Zealand UK. 1241 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:00,919 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying. 1242 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,480 Speaker 20: That goes both ways, Mike. We've got eighteen co production 1243 00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:10,360 Speaker 20: treaties with jurisdictions around the world. We might shoot in 1244 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 20: one market and post produce in another. There might be 1245 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 20: music being composed in its third territory. It's a really 1246 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 20: globally integrated business and our co production treaties and our 1247 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 20: MoU with Australia are super flexible, so we can make 1248 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:28,480 Speaker 20: the deal work for. 1249 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 2: The creative fantastic. I wish you were with the rest 1250 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 2: of the journey. Annie Murray, who is the New Zealand 1251 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 2: Film Commission's CEO, read a very interesting piece yesterday about 1252 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 2: Trump and the movies, and of course the difference between 1253 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 2: the movies and everything else is that the movies are 1254 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,880 Speaker 2: part of the service's economy. The services economy makes up 1255 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 2: seventy percent of the US economy. It's Google, Netflix, Facebook, Hollywood, films, insurance, 1256 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. Whereas his trade war up 1257 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:54,320 Speaker 2: until this particular point has been allegedly about boxes, dolls, pencils, 1258 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 2: things like that. So what it alarms them? First of all, 1259 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,800 Speaker 2: this is driven out by the Hollywood unions. By the way, 1260 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 2: this is entirely driven by the union movement in Hollywood 1261 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,520 Speaker 2: who have been Trump is right. It has never come back, 1262 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 2: and it's never come back because they had a strike, 1263 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 2: and they had a strike on AI and they wanted 1264 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,800 Speaker 2: more money, and eventually they got more money. But they 1265 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,520 Speaker 2: got so much more money that they had to lay 1266 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 2: a whole lot of people off, and no one wanted 1267 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 2: to make money in Hollywood anymore. But the services industry 1268 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 2: is not what Trump argues. See previously, Trump argues, when 1269 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 2: I send my box to you in China, you charge 1270 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 2: me for it, So I'm going to charge you the same. 1271 00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 2: And while I'm mad, and I'm going to charge everybody 1272 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 2: ten percent on everything because that's what I do. Services 1273 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 2: are different, and that's where it's most obviously a bargaining 1274 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 2: chip because it isn't going to work, and he knows it, 1275 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,920 Speaker 2: and everybody else has worked out that we know that 1276 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 2: he knows, and he knows that we know, and so 1277 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,280 Speaker 2: it will eventually flush through or fingers crossed. 1278 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 1: Greg Forred next setting the agenda and talking the big issues, 1279 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: the mic Corking, Breakfast with a Vita, retirement, communities, Life 1280 00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Your Ways, seven Path. 1281 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 2: Day, the National airligned this week like it is most week, 1282 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 2: as in the years. Nichola Willis, who met with him 1283 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 2: I think yesterday or was supposed to meet with him yesterday, 1284 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 2: isn't against the market study Apparently. James Meagher, a new 1285 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 2: minister for the South Island, waxed lyrical last week about 1286 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,360 Speaker 2: the government helping them out on regional routes in terms 1287 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,840 Speaker 2: of pricing. Are there issues around planes and engines and 1288 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 2: our FOS law of course, and amidst all of this, 1289 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 2: the CEO Greg Foran announced he is leaving and I 1290 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,640 Speaker 2: think pretty much he's talking to us for the first time. 1291 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 7: Nice to see you, Yeah, good to see you, Marke. 1292 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 2: Is it one of those weird things where you know 1293 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 2: when you're leaving or did you arrive knowing when you 1294 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 2: would leave? Because CEOs last five years, seven years, whatever 1295 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:39,840 Speaker 2: it is. 1296 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, I had in the back of my mind 1297 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 7: I'd probably do about five to six years with their 1298 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 7: New Zealand there's other things that I'm keen to do, 1299 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,120 Speaker 7: and you know, when I took the job, I said 1300 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,960 Speaker 7: to the board, to Terrese by the way of credible chair, 1301 01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,240 Speaker 7: one of the best I've worked with. I said to her, 1302 01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 7: probably get me for about five to six years. And 1303 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 7: as we've gone through that period, you know, I've kept 1304 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:09,040 Speaker 7: her abreast of my thinking and then you know, come March, 1305 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,520 Speaker 7: I said, right now, it's about the time I want 1306 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 7: to give you a lengthy running period that suited her, 1307 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,280 Speaker 7: suited the company. So I'm here to the end of October. 1308 01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 2: Would you recommend the job to people? Yes? 1309 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:26,200 Speaker 7: I would. It has been one of the peak learning 1310 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:31,120 Speaker 7: experiences I have had. My not easy and you know 1311 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 7: I've had my share of niggles that I've had to 1312 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 7: deal with and continue to. Yeah, but I would say 1313 01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:43,160 Speaker 7: to you I am a far better leader today than 1314 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 7: what I was before I took the job. And you 1315 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 7: know I had a reasonable job before I came into 1316 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 7: this one. But honestly, I would be much better running 1317 01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 7: walmart Us today from what I have learned being at 1318 01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 7: Air in New Zealand than what I was when I 1319 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 7: took that job eleven years ago. 1320 01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,080 Speaker 2: You can't have known what you would have to wade 1321 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:06,480 Speaker 2: through when you came here, can you? 1322 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 7: I had no idea. I had not heard of COVID 1323 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 7: when I got the job. It hadn't surfaced at that point. 1324 01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 7: I think we first heard about it about November twenty nineteen. 1325 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 7: I got the job, I think probably about October. So 1326 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 7: I had no idea, no idea that you know, we 1327 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 7: would stop the first flight on the very first day 1328 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,640 Speaker 7: that I started in the company. It was ironic. I 1329 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 7: was in Rotorua yesterday. I was talking to the team 1330 01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 7: at the airport. Some of the team were there on 1331 01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 7: the Saturday before we shut the country down, and we 1332 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:49,040 Speaker 7: were reminiscing that. I got a telephone call from Jissinder 1333 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 7: on that Saturday giving me a heads up that she 1334 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 7: was probably looking to close the borders. I think we 1335 01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,040 Speaker 7: closed them on the Tuesday, but on that Saturday I 1336 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,120 Speaker 7: got a call, And here I was yesterday reminiscing with 1337 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,680 Speaker 7: the team. You know, just over five years ago that 1338 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:06,400 Speaker 7: was going to happen. 1339 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 2: Did you feel unlucky in the sense you could have gone, 1340 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 2: say to fish and Pipal Healthcare and got into masks 1341 01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:15,000 Speaker 2: and respirators and COVID would have been fantastic. Airlines was 1342 01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:16,520 Speaker 2: not the business to be in for COVID. 1343 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,880 Speaker 7: Look I think there are certainly some days when I 1344 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 7: get up and I'm having a shave before I come 1345 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 7: to work, and I'm thinking about Rolls Royce and Pratt 1346 01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 7: and Whitney, or capital raises or those sort of things. 1347 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 7: But you have to put those at the back of 1348 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,240 Speaker 7: your mind and you have to play the hand that 1349 01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 7: you've got dealt. And I tend to be pretty optimistic 1350 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:43,840 Speaker 7: about things, balanced but optimistic. I play a long game. 1351 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 7: I know that I have short term issues that I 1352 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,919 Speaker 7: have to deal with. I have to deal with what's 1353 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 7: the on time performance today in cancelations and refunds and 1354 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 7: those sort of things. But fundamentally, my job here was 1355 01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:01,240 Speaker 7: to build on the legacy that I had herited, and 1356 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 7: that's what I've said about doing. You know, we want 1357 01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 7: to grow our domestic business, we want to enhance our 1358 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 7: international business. We want to take our loyalty operation and 1359 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:14,840 Speaker 7: drive that. And that plan still exists today despite the 1360 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,000 Speaker 7: niggles that I have to deal with. So I always 1361 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 7: keept the long term in mind, knowing that I'll have 1362 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,760 Speaker 7: to deal with issues day to day. So that's how 1363 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:25,520 Speaker 7: it's interesting. 1364 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 2: My criticism of you, not that it matters, is when 1365 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 2: you announced your resignation. It came to me anyway, at 1366 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:35,560 Speaker 2: a time when the airline's still got a lot of issues. 1367 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 2: You don't go see all that stuff that was problematic. 1368 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 2: It's now fixed. See you later. Yeah, you leave at 1369 01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,440 Speaker 2: a time when there's more to do. Is that difficult 1370 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 2: to justify personally or not? 1371 01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 18: Well? 1372 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,760 Speaker 7: Of course, I, from my position know a little bit 1373 01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,480 Speaker 7: more about what's coming down the pipeline and what's going 1374 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 7: to be here by the end of October, So I 1375 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,640 Speaker 7: would say to you, I think the timing is actually 1376 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:02,720 Speaker 7: pretty good. And why do I say that? For sure, 1377 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,800 Speaker 7: there will be some issues that will still be ongoing 1378 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 7: for the next year and a half, but let's talk 1379 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 7: about the ones that are underway. We said that we 1380 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,440 Speaker 7: needed to get retrofits done. The first one is going 1381 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 7: to fly in a week's time. We'll have seven completed 1382 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,360 Speaker 7: by the end of the year. We said we need 1383 01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:27,000 Speaker 7: new aircraft. Those aircraft are now literally going on as 1384 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,439 Speaker 7: the production line. They will be on the production line 1385 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 7: by October. We have what we call line fit numbers 1386 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 7: from Boeing. So I can sit here with confidence and 1387 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:41,480 Speaker 7: say this time next year there's two new Boeing seven 1388 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 7: eight sevens coming and likely another two by the end 1389 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 7: of next year. So I've wrestled that one to the ground. 1390 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 7: We've got a new hangar which is about to open 1391 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:58,560 Speaker 7: in October. We have replatformed just about every digital system 1392 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,320 Speaker 7: in the business, and there are a host of things 1393 01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,720 Speaker 7: that have been done or are being done so that 1394 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:10,240 Speaker 7: when I hand over at the in October, for sure 1395 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,880 Speaker 7: will still be dealing with some Rolls Royce challenges, but 1396 01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 7: I think that's at the bottom and starting to incrementally 1397 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,440 Speaker 7: prove will be dealing with Pratt and Whitney at the 1398 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:25,000 Speaker 7: bottom actually is improving now, so I actually am am 1399 01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 7: confident that if you like, my run of the relay 1400 01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 7: is about right good stuff. 1401 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,480 Speaker 2: Let's talk about tourism in a moment. Greg Foruen's with 1402 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 2: us thirteen past eight. 1403 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1404 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 1: by News Talk. 1405 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 2: Zippy News Talks A sixteen past eight. Greb furn is 1406 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 2: our guest. Couple of things, just on tourism. Quickly, you 1407 01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 2: said you're in Rohta UA the big tourism things going on. 1408 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 2: One of the announcements made by the government yesterday was 1409 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 2: part of the one of the impediments to getting here 1410 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 2: visa wise has been sorted out to a degree. I 1411 01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 2: might bought people with the detail, but there seems to 1412 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 2: be to me anyway certain things. Chinese and India a 1413 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 2: couple of good markets where we could be doing more 1414 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,160 Speaker 2: than we are to get people here and make life viasy. 1415 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:09,240 Speaker 2: Is that fair? 1416 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,640 Speaker 7: It's coming back, is the way that I would put it. 1417 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:15,240 Speaker 7: So you know we were slow out of the blocks. 1418 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 7: China has been the market, you know, it was our 1419 01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 7: biggest and if I spoke to you a few months ago, 1420 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 7: we were running it sort of circa fifty two percent 1421 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,760 Speaker 7: of pre COVID. I think that number now, Mike is 1422 01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,680 Speaker 7: back to about sixty seven percent. Getting rid of the 1423 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 7: translation fee takes sort of circle one hundred hundred and 1424 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,080 Speaker 7: ten dollars off the price of visas. These people are 1425 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 7: price conscious. I think you'll see incremental improvement. In total. 1426 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,200 Speaker 7: We're back to about eighty seven percent of pre COVID. 1427 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:53,440 Speaker 7: The US is over one hundred and sertly, so it's happening. 1428 01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 7: I thought there was more energy at trends than I 1429 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 7: have seen previously. I think there's a spring in everyone's step, 1430 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,520 Speaker 7: and I think by this time next year, with a 1431 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 7: bit of luck, will be back over one hundred percent. 1432 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:08,840 Speaker 2: And about time too. 1433 01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with you. It's what is it, thirteen 1434 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 7: fourteen billion worth of income internationally. We need it, the 1435 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 7: country needs it. I absolutely get that it needs to 1436 01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 7: be balanced. You know, Queenstown I think is running at 1437 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:28,320 Speaker 7: the moment about one hundred and fifteen percent of pre COVID. 1438 01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,000 Speaker 7: So if you're talking to someone in Queenstown, they're probably 1439 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 7: saying it's already too busy. I get it, So let's 1440 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 7: be careful. Averages can be misleading, but in totality we 1441 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 7: need tourism. 1442 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:45,680 Speaker 2: The market study that Nikola Willis talks of that just 1443 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,479 Speaker 2: the overarching in New Zealand or a bunch of bastards 1444 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 2: and rip us off. 1445 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 7: You say what I say. Fundamentally, what we've been saying 1446 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,720 Speaker 7: in the Commerce Commission have come out and said is 1447 01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:01,559 Speaker 7: this is not a competition issue. It's structural. Now we've 1448 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,599 Speaker 7: had cost increases, just like everyone in New Zealand has 1449 01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 7: cost increases, and trust me, I have empathy for that. 1450 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 7: My wife asked me to get some stuff from the 1451 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:13,880 Speaker 7: supermarket last Saturday afternoon when I was finishing work. I 1452 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,919 Speaker 7: remember prices from six years ago in Walmart. 1453 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:17,639 Speaker 1: Boy. 1454 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:21,000 Speaker 7: It's expensive and I'm not having a shot at anyone. 1455 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,439 Speaker 7: It's just costs have gone up. Have for us to 1456 01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 7: what do we try and do with costs. We mitigate 1457 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,360 Speaker 7: them where we possibly can, and that's things like improving 1458 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,760 Speaker 7: productivity and coming up with new methods and systems. We 1459 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 7: absorb some of them, and you see that in our guidance, 1460 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,000 Speaker 7: which is actually has had to come down and where 1461 01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,200 Speaker 7: we can't, we have to. 1462 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:40,720 Speaker 2: Pass them on. 1463 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,760 Speaker 7: What do I mean by structural versus competition? You could 1464 01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,080 Speaker 7: put another airline into New Zealand and by the way, 1465 01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,120 Speaker 7: they could come anytime they want. It's open skies. The 1466 01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:54,200 Speaker 7: prices will come down, but no one will make any money. 1467 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,639 Speaker 7: And in one to two years an airline will leave. 1468 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,519 Speaker 7: Probably won't be in New Zealand because it's fifty one 1469 01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 7: percent owned by the government, but the new airline will 1470 01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 7: probably leave. 1471 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 2: History tells us this, History tells us this. 1472 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 7: Why is that the case? Because we're about one and 1473 01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,840 Speaker 7: a half times the size of Arkansas. We're small and 1474 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,640 Speaker 7: it is what it is. We get the benefit of 1475 01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,439 Speaker 7: living in a country with not so many people, but 1476 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 7: that means you don't get the benefit of scale. Australia 1477 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 7: twenty seven million people, has but two airlines. Every time 1478 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,879 Speaker 7: they try and open a third, the third one fails. 1479 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:38,240 Speaker 7: New Zealand probably can only exist with one. Our job 1480 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 7: is to be fair, fair to customers, fair to our staff, 1481 01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 7: fair to communities, and fair to the shareholders. And I 1482 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:51,000 Speaker 7: think generally we thread that needle reasonably well. We're not 1483 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,040 Speaker 7: boosting up shareholder returns here at the expense of charging 1484 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:55,839 Speaker 7: high prices. 1485 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,559 Speaker 2: Only got a minute left of all the stuff you've 1486 01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,760 Speaker 2: done for interesting that you not retiring, So there's there's 1487 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:03,720 Speaker 2: something to do, something to do. You don't know what 1488 01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:04,160 Speaker 2: that is. 1489 01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,560 Speaker 7: Don't know what that is, but open to all options 1490 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,439 Speaker 7: and within reason location as well. 1491 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 2: Do you want to leave your number here and someone 1492 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,120 Speaker 2: rings in? What have you learned how to be in 1493 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 2: New Zealand that's good, bad, valuable or not compared with 1494 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:22,240 Speaker 2: all the other stuff you've done. 1495 01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 7: I would say to you the thing that has struck 1496 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 7: me the most, which I knew but has been enhanced, 1497 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:38,679 Speaker 7: is how important culture in businesses. And so I spend 1498 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 7: a lot of time, and I will continue to spend time, 1499 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 7: and I will do it in whatever I do next, 1500 01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:47,640 Speaker 7: ensuring that the culture and the business is what you 1501 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 7: want in order to achieve your plan and execute your results. 1502 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 7: So I spend a lot of time with our people, 1503 01:11:56,479 --> 01:12:01,440 Speaker 7: listening to them, listening to customers, ensuring that we represent 1504 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,560 Speaker 7: what we should do in terms of our purpose and 1505 01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:05,160 Speaker 7: our values. 1506 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:07,839 Speaker 2: Is New Zealand a good place to do business? 1507 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 9: It is. 1508 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 7: It can be difficult because of scale. We like at 1509 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:20,280 Speaker 7: times to try and do probably too many things instead 1510 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:22,560 Speaker 7: of saying, here are the three or four things that 1511 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 7: we're going to do incredibly well. But we have the 1512 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 7: ability to move at speed and size can be an 1513 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,800 Speaker 7: impediment and it can be an advantage. And one of 1514 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,240 Speaker 7: the things I try and do with their New Zealand 1515 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 7: when I'm overseas and I'm meeting with the big companies 1516 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 7: over there, and I'm not just talking Boeing or air Bus, 1517 01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 7: but you know, I was with open Ai four weeks ago, 1518 01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:50,200 Speaker 7: Google Deep Mind. We're working on things with them. Our 1519 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:55,200 Speaker 7: cell position to them, Mike is we're small, we can 1520 01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:59,840 Speaker 7: operate at speed. Give us an opportunity, you can develop 1521 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,720 Speaker 7: something with us, and then you can go and sell 1522 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 7: it to the big guys and it works. 1523 01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 2: Good stuff. We'll get you before you finally finally leave, 1524 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,280 Speaker 2: but appreciate your time for NOWLS. 1525 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,479 Speaker 7: Always thank you, make good to see you. 1526 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 2: Greg Forum A twenty two. 1527 01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,360 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate News Talks. 1528 01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 2: There'd be now.

A good interview with Greg four and 1563 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,479 Speaker 2: he's had a tough time, often unfairly maligned in his 1564 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,400 Speaker 2: role at here in New Zealand, having got the hospital 1565 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,400 Speaker 2: pass of starting on COVID day. 1566 01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:15,400 Speaker 1: That is true. 1567 01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:18,240 Speaker 2: There's probably a book in the decisions around when to 1568 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:20,639 Speaker 2: retire the Triple seven two hundreds. This is for ab gigs. 1569 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,799 Speaker 2: When to retire the Triple seven two hundreds, the Boeing situation, 1570 01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,280 Speaker 2: the engine situations, A lot of those things you think, 1571 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:30,439 Speaker 2: really can it rain any more than it currently is? Mike, 1572 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:32,680 Speaker 2: what a pity only gave Greg fifteen minutes. Well that's 1573 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 2: the old thing and broadcast and leave them with wanting more. 1574 01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 2: Most positive thing I heard on radio for a long time. 1575 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 2: Mike should talk to more of these people. Mike, I 1576 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,879 Speaker 2: always think of JK. John Key. I'm assuming, thoughtful, intelligent, 1577 01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 2: knowledgeable and progressive. Maybe a politician. Don't think he's interested. 1578 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,760 Speaker 2: Greg Furan is such an asset to New Zealand. I 1579 01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 2: hope he doesn't head off. Sure it'll be interesting to 1580 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,840 Speaker 2: see where he goes. Mikey comments that Greg Foran was 1581 01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:58,280 Speaker 2: leaving before the job was completed were inaccurate. If what Greg, 1582 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 2: it was a good answer, wasn't it? And I was 1583 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:02,439 Speaker 2: pleased to hear it, and as long as it all 1584 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 2: comes to fruition by the time he leaves, then he's 1585 01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,800 Speaker 2: right and good on. Mike. Please ask Greg if he's 1586 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 2: interested in the warehouse. Top job from a hopeul employee. 1587 01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,679 Speaker 2: My suspicion is he's not fabulous work in most difficult 1588 01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,800 Speaker 2: times a problem solver, Mike. Here in New Zealand ridiculous 1589 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,960 Speaker 2: with their prices. No one in business is Queenstown busy. 1590 01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 2: I'll come back to that. If you're not seeing good 1591 01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 2: times in Queenstown, given the number of people of the there, 1592 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 2: there's something wrong with your business. 1593 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:27,360 Speaker 14: Mike. 1594 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,880 Speaker 2: I'm hoping that whoever replaces for And will be a 1595 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,400 Speaker 2: lot more effective in doing something about the current epidemic 1596 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:36,000 Speaker 2: of delayed flights. Good riddance to the New Zealand CEO. 1597 01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 2: He's hopeless, Greg for an easy job running a monopoly 1598 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:41,879 Speaker 2: airline makes it out to be a big job. Well, obviously, 1599 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,880 Speaker 2: as you presumably heard, it's not a monopoly. It's never 1600 01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:49,280 Speaker 2: been a monopoly. And what's that eighty twenty? I think 1601 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,679 Speaker 2: it's eighty twenty in the positive. Twenty two minutes away from. 1602 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 15: Nine International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1603 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,320 Speaker 15: mind for New Zealand business. 1604 01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,720 Speaker 2: But can we go rod little money mate busy In 1605 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,519 Speaker 2: the early hours of our morning watch, Kostama paidle as 1606 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,559 Speaker 2: fast as he possibly could. When you've got the local 1607 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,000 Speaker 2: body elections and what happened to you? Can you directly 1608 01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:12,640 Speaker 2: join the dots to the winter fuel payment? And is 1609 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 2: his defense of it futile? 1610 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 21: His defense of it is certainly futile. And if there 1611 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,280 Speaker 21: was any other Labor leader around, they would alter it 1612 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:25,200 Speaker 21: immediately tomorrow morning, day one, and it may well get 1613 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 21: altered in time, but he can't do it just yet 1614 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:36,160 Speaker 21: collection with the election. Yes though if Labour thinks that's 1615 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,400 Speaker 21: that's the sub of it, that it's just the winter 1616 01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:43,920 Speaker 21: fuel payments. They really are living in a fantasy world. 1617 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:49,240 Speaker 21: But undoubtedly annoyed and stuck in the minds of people 1618 01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,160 Speaker 21: that he given pay rises to X, Y and Z, 1619 01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 21: but cut the payments for the people who don't vote 1620 01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:58,760 Speaker 21: for him by and large attentions. 1621 01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 2: What are they going to do? I know there's yet 1622 01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,400 Speaker 2: another poll out this morning, and this is post the 1623 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:07,679 Speaker 2: local body elections where Reform are up three to twenty nine. 1624 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,560 Speaker 2: Labour's got a seven point get the down one to 1625 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,439 Speaker 2: twenty two, the Tories on seventeen. If it's not the 1626 01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:15,160 Speaker 2: winter paymer, They're going to do something, don't they. 1627 01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:18,320 Speaker 21: They have to do something. I mean, there was a 1628 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 21: hilarious spectacle at Parliament at Prime Minister's Questions today when 1629 01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 21: the Vita of the Opposition nor the Prime Minister at 1630 01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:32,160 Speaker 21: any point mentioned the local author of ary elections. They 1631 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,760 Speaker 21: kind of had this truce between them that neither would 1632 01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 21: mention them. But it was another bad performance by Kenny 1633 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:42,639 Speaker 21: Badenoch and the knives are definitely out for her. There's 1634 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:46,680 Speaker 21: been more and more people saying not yet within their 1635 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 21: inner circle of the Tories, but but saying, look, she 1636 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,640 Speaker 21: hasn't managed to do it so far. She's failed to 1637 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 21: hold Sakia Starma to account. She's beaten too often at 1638 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:01,360 Speaker 21: PMQ's and indeed today you know she is the net 1639 01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:06,160 Speaker 21: zero stuff which labor is vulnerable on somehow forgetting that 1640 01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,720 Speaker 21: she's introduced it when she was in government. You know, 1641 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:15,439 Speaker 21: it's that's so easily dealt with. Meanwhile, Saki is in 1642 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,880 Speaker 21: a lot of trouble, you know, no question at all. 1643 01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:21,000 Speaker 21: You look at the polls both in this in in 1644 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,360 Speaker 21: England but also in Wales where I think they're coming 1645 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:29,280 Speaker 21: third or fourth, you know, way way down. It is 1646 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:34,280 Speaker 21: a real problem. I don't know how much of an 1647 01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:38,680 Speaker 21: appetite there is in the Labor Party for another leader contest, 1648 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:43,120 Speaker 21: but but it's it's etching towards that way. It's etching 1649 01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:44,719 Speaker 21: towards that way for both parties. 1650 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,080 Speaker 2: It's funny you should say that because there was a 1651 01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,960 Speaker 2: separate survey out on Wilds. The Welsh holding elections next year, 1652 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:52,719 Speaker 2: so they've got less time to get their act together 1653 01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,519 Speaker 2: there than they do for the Rist of England. Having 1654 01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:59,560 Speaker 2: the question on Kimmy Bednock, was she she had disappointment 1655 01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:01,639 Speaker 2: and other words we put her in thinking she's great 1656 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:03,280 Speaker 2: and she just turns out not to be. Or was 1657 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,320 Speaker 2: she always you know, some sort of compromise anyway. 1658 01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:10,800 Speaker 21: She was always a risk. I mean, she is outspoken. 1659 01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:15,840 Speaker 21: She does represent a very kind of blue labor ish 1660 01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 21: but also right wings socially strand of conservatism. What she 1661 01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 21: has been left good at she doesn't. She doesn't seem 1662 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:31,879 Speaker 21: quite bright enough. Sometimes she fails to read the moods. 1663 01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 21: She fails to she cannot plot a means of entrapping 1664 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:40,400 Speaker 21: starmer who has had It has to be said a 1665 01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 21: very easy ride of it at PMQ's she's never really 1666 01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,960 Speaker 21: landed a very hard blow. And I think I think 1667 01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 21: there is a degree of caveat Mturu within the Conservative Party, 1668 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,559 Speaker 21: particularly on the right, that they chose the wrong person. 1669 01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,639 Speaker 2: Just while we've got you Rod big deal here, we're 1670 01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 2: trying to goes he had a free trade deal with Indi. 1671 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 2: Yet literally as we speak this week, we've got boots 1672 01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:05,519 Speaker 2: on the ground. We have been trying to do it 1673 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 2: for years. We've got a dairy issue. They're into cows 1674 01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 2: in a different way that we are. Having seen all 1675 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,160 Speaker 2: that you signed, you signed it. It is spruped as 1676 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:17,479 Speaker 2: being fifty billion dollars worth of extra trade, all of 1677 01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:21,559 Speaker 2: which is exciting. But this social security carve out they've got, 1678 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 2: which presumably means it's cheaper to higher Indians than anyone else. 1679 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:27,640 Speaker 2: Is their political fallout. 1680 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,200 Speaker 21: On that, Yes, and there'll be a lot. It is 1681 01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,320 Speaker 21: a good trade deal. Five billion quid is not to 1682 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:36,439 Speaker 21: be slipped at and it is exactly the sort of 1683 01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 21: country we thought we ought to be striking deals with 1684 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:43,719 Speaker 21: post Brexit. But to absolve the Indian workers from national 1685 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,639 Speaker 21: insurance payments, it's a crushing blow to the low paid 1686 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:52,600 Speaker 21: British workers who will therefore be more expensive in the 1687 01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:56,360 Speaker 21: marketplace and than was the Indian workers. And of course 1688 01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,640 Speaker 21: it was National Insurance, which everyone criticized the government for. 1689 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,719 Speaker 21: We're putting that high up during Rechel reeves foras budget. 1690 01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,600 Speaker 21: So yes, there's already quite a lot of fallout and 1691 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:07,760 Speaker 21: I think that'll get was. 1692 01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,599 Speaker 2: You're a good bloke. We'll catch up next week. Make 1693 01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,360 Speaker 2: appreciate it. Rod Little in Britain sixteen to nine. 1694 01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:18,240 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1695 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:19,280 Speaker 1: by News Talks at b. 1696 01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,759 Speaker 2: Mike Rebusiness and Coinstown recently cycled the Otiger rail trail 1697 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 2: speaking of the accommodation providers ninety percent a guest at 1698 01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,439 Speaker 2: presenter from Australia doesn't surprise me. Americans and Australians are 1699 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,360 Speaker 2: the big movers and shakers in that part of the world. 1700 01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 2: But Greg Woran's right, Tourism that part of the world 1701 01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:38,080 Speaker 2: is well over one hundred percent, so life should be booming. 1702 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,600 Speaker 2: We didn't have enough time, I don't think today to 1703 01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:44,840 Speaker 2: this contact energy thing, which is I know, slightly dry, 1704 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 2: but I was absolutely convinced AZ was. As far as 1705 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:49,680 Speaker 2: I can work out, everyone else. That was no way 1706 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:51,280 Speaker 2: in the world they were going to be allowed to 1707 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 2: take over Manure Energy. Why because the Commerce Commission we're 1708 01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,720 Speaker 2: making the decision on that. It's a one point nine 1709 01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 2: billion dollar deal. Man, it's the generating business basically left 1710 01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,680 Speaker 2: over when Trust Power sold off its retail operation. It 1711 01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 2: sells uncommitted power to the electricity market through hedging contracts. Now, 1712 01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 2: why is this important? Because we're about to win to 1713 01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 2: winter and what happens in this country when we went 1714 01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:16,720 Speaker 2: to winter, we almost inevitably run out of power, and 1715 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,120 Speaker 2: they start saying things like, don't shower, don't turn on 1716 01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,760 Speaker 2: the heater, turn everything off because we don't produce enough power. Now, 1717 01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:27,680 Speaker 2: part of the argument beyond renewables is competition of the marketplace. 1718 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:30,760 Speaker 2: So there are now fewer players and players in the 1719 01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,639 Speaker 2: marketplace as a result of yesterday's decision from the Commerce Commission. 1720 01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 2: That's why I didn't think the compt I don't mind 1721 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 2: if someone wants to buy, somebody rip into it, I 1722 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,559 Speaker 2: don't care. But I didn't think the Commerce Commission were 1723 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,240 Speaker 2: of that mind. All of a sudden they are, and 1724 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,479 Speaker 2: they'd raised this wasn't this was out of the blue 1725 01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 2: to the extent. The last time they did something or 1726 01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:50,000 Speaker 2: said something about this deal, they had concerns, and they 1727 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:51,920 Speaker 2: had all the concerns along the lines of the concerns 1728 01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:55,040 Speaker 2: you thought they would have, like doesn't it mean when 1729 01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:56,720 Speaker 2: you buy someone else, that'll we won less player in 1730 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:58,200 Speaker 2: the market? And I thought, yeah, fair enough, Well that's 1731 01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,479 Speaker 2: what the Commerce Commission does, rightly or wrongly anyway, didn't 1732 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,840 Speaker 2: give them the tick. How's that work? Last time they 1733 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,800 Speaker 2: looked at supermarkets, there were three players in the market. 1734 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:06,160 Speaker 2: Then they said, no, it's okay to have two. And 1735 01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,120 Speaker 2: then they decided it wasn't okay to have two. Are 1736 01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,120 Speaker 2: they going to look at this and go, hold on, 1737 01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:12,280 Speaker 2: did we say yes to that? Goodness sake, what were 1738 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,000 Speaker 2: we doing? Anyway? More on that another day, snooker. Do 1739 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:19,760 Speaker 2: not talk to me about snooker ever again. Good morning 1740 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:23,679 Speaker 2: Mike Jazzintong's journey to the world title. It's truly impressive, 1741 01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,840 Speaker 2: longer than any player in crucible history, winning nine rounds 1742 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy two frames. There is little doubt 1743 01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:30,920 Speaker 2: the cyclone has earned his title. When you say one 1744 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,280 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two, I heard somebody say one hundred 1745 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,679 Speaker 2: and eleven doesn't matter. He played a lot of snooker. 1746 01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,799 Speaker 2: We got the ratings from Sky Barry Hearn, who runs snooker, 1747 01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,360 Speaker 2: as I told you earlier on the programs, claiming one 1748 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million people watched it out of Southeast Asia, 1749 01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,560 Speaker 2: which would mean globally hundreds of millions of people watched it, 1750 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,080 Speaker 2: which would make it a significant sporting event. In other words, 1751 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,080 Speaker 2: right up there with something like F one. Here, no 1752 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 2: one watched it. Despite my best surfits, nobody watched it. Well, 1753 01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,960 Speaker 2: they did, but not many. The biggest session, which was 1754 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 2: on a night, was not one for obvious reasons. Most 1755 01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:03,280 Speaker 2: of it was overnight two or three in the morning. 1756 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 2: It was forty five thousand people. So the number you 1757 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,080 Speaker 2: really want is in totality, how many people watch the 1758 01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 2: snooker Now, the critical answer is overall. This comes from Sky. 1759 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,800 Speaker 2: Overall audiences were slightly lower than the last time we 1760 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 2: broadcast in twenty twenty two, so the audience has gone down. 1761 01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:19,080 Speaker 14: Now. 1762 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,040 Speaker 2: I could argue, well, if you stuck it on every 1763 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:22,880 Speaker 2: year instead of being sporadic about it, you might have 1764 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:24,600 Speaker 2: grown an audience. But I'm not going to argue that. 1765 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to take defeat on the Chin I sproop 1766 01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,240 Speaker 2: the snooker as being an event they should hold, and 1767 01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:34,040 Speaker 2: as they quite rightly say, we strive to secure the 1768 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 2: content that we know our customers love, and we pulled 1769 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,120 Speaker 2: out stops to get World Snooker Champs this time around. 1770 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:42,960 Speaker 2: As always, we will use this viewership data to inform 1771 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,639 Speaker 2: future content decisions. Content decisions. Now, next to you, when 1772 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:47,760 Speaker 2: you come to me going why isn't the snooker on, 1773 01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:49,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to go I got it on for you. 1774 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,160 Speaker 2: The Hosk went to bat for you, and you didn't 1775 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:57,600 Speaker 2: back them up. I actually wonder if you're partially responsible 1776 01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,240 Speaker 2: for the low viewership because I told them what was 1777 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 2: going on in the radio. You gave it to what Yeah, 1778 01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 2: and you made it sound perhaps more exciting than it 1779 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,639 Speaker 2: actually is. I think Andrew Sevil would agree with you somehow. 1780 01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:11,240 Speaker 2: Nine minutes away from nine. 1781 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:16,000 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking breakfast with al Vida Retirement Communities News 1782 01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:16,679 Speaker 1: togs Dad. 1783 01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:20,160 Speaker 2: Be Yes out of Australia, out of the election, and 1784 01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,880 Speaker 2: goes to what David Seymour was saying the other day, 1785 01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:24,560 Speaker 2: which I thought was a smart idea, which is we 1786 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:29,320 Speaker 2: need fewer ministers, less cabinet fewer portfolios, all of that 1787 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:30,880 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. Anyway, one of the first things that 1788 01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,759 Speaker 2: Elbow announces yesterday, he's adding another ministry to the cabinet 1789 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:37,880 Speaker 2: to the left hand side of the Labor Party. They 1790 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,760 Speaker 2: have factions within the Labor Party caucus is going to 1791 01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 2: increase from one hundred and three members and senators to 1792 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:45,760 Speaker 2: at least one hundred and ten, could go as high 1793 01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 2: as one hundred and twenty one. The Labor left to going, well, 1794 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:50,080 Speaker 2: what about us, and he goes, yeah, you can have them, 1795 01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,760 Speaker 2: you can have a ministry. So they're just going to 1796 01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:57,160 Speaker 2: make another minister doing what who cares, doesn't really matter. 1797 01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 2: You're from the left. I need to keep you quiet 1798 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 2: so you can have a job. And that's how this 1799 01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:03,880 Speaker 2: game works. No one else in the real world operates 1800 01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 2: that way. But I don't know good old politics when 1801 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,840 Speaker 2: having it's away from nine trending. 1802 01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:12,880 Speaker 1: Now chimis Wells book in your Flu Vaccination Today. 1803 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:14,720 Speaker 2: Weird story. When did I report this? Was it a 1804 01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:17,200 Speaker 2: week ago? If not two weeks ago? About the WA 1805 01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:20,040 Speaker 2: NRL side. Anyway, they got around to actually announcing it yesterday. 1806 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:22,519 Speaker 2: New team from Perth. So that's christ you. It's done 1807 01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 2: for they're called the Perth Bears. I wouldn't want to 1808 01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,880 Speaker 2: play for a team called the Bears anyway. Chicago Bears, 1809 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:32,000 Speaker 2: Perth Bears sixty five million dollar fund a deal with 1810 01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:35,599 Speaker 2: the Western Australian government, so they rolled out the premiere. 1811 01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 2: Who's Roger Cook. 1812 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:39,080 Speaker 1: Not only will this be great news for sports fans, 1813 01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 1: it's a great news for our economy and great news 1814 01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:46,679 Speaker 1: for jobs. The new Time will compete in the NRL 1815 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:50,080 Speaker 1: Premiership competition for the first time in twenty twenty seven 1816 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:52,839 Speaker 1: or twenty twenty eight, and it will deliver a return 1817 01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:56,759 Speaker 1: for taxpayers. This is a great outcome for WA. Like Sydney, 1818 01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:01,400 Speaker 1: Melbourne and Brisbane, WA will host both AL and NRL 1819 01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 1: size and I'd back us to compete just as hard 1820 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,040 Speaker 1: in NRL as we do in AFL. So let's get 1821 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:10,160 Speaker 1: behinde the new NRL side. 1822 01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 21: Let's get behinde Western Australia as if we put the 1823 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:14,679 Speaker 21: national in NRL. 1824 01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 2: When he says it will create jobs, what he's meaning 1825 01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:21,560 Speaker 2: is the players are going to be part time and 1826 01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,080 Speaker 2: after training each day they'll be going down the mines 1827 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:27,639 Speaker 2: to do the iron ore. So that helps the economy. 1828 01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:30,640 Speaker 2: So the Warriors, that's a long commute. Do you ever 1829 01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,720 Speaker 2: flying to Perth? I only flew once. I flew to 1830 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 2: Perth once, thinking Perth could be interesting. 1831 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:36,400 Speaker 7: It wasn't. 1832 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,639 Speaker 2: As it turns out. I stayed at a very nice 1833 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,880 Speaker 2: hotel on a golf course back in the days when 1834 01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:43,400 Speaker 2: I played golf, and I thought, yep, golf course is 1835 01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:46,439 Speaker 2: all right? What else we got? We got the river? Yep, 1836 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,680 Speaker 2: there it is and it was quite hoss. Did you 1837 01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,560 Speaker 2: experience the Freemantle Doctor when it came in? No, that 1838 01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:53,599 Speaker 2: I was in Perth, not fre Mental. They're two completely 1839 01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:56,600 Speaker 2: separate places. Doesn't go to Perth. I mean you have 1840 01:28:56,680 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 2: to go to fer Mental Doctor. That's separate. It's another 1841 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 2: trip that you wouldn't make if you went to Perth. 1842 01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,439 Speaker 2: When are they getting in any ERL team? Very good question. 1843 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,439 Speaker 2: They think they'll probably launch off in twenty twenty eight. 1844 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,679 Speaker 2: By the way, if you want a inspirational piece of video, 1845 01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:15,320 Speaker 2: saw Carlos Science yesterday talking to Tom Brady. They were 1846 01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:19,920 Speaker 2: talking about recovery, health, fitness generally, but inevitably, as it 1847 01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:24,639 Speaker 2: always does, dubtails into life and success and goal setting 1848 01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:29,240 Speaker 2: and determination and aspiration. Just stick it on YouTube. Carlos 1849 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,920 Speaker 2: Science and Tom Brady just chatting away. They were chatting 1850 01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:36,280 Speaker 2: away on is the end of Tom's dock at his 1851 01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:40,280 Speaker 2: house with golf clubs, where he'd installed a golf team, 1852 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:43,040 Speaker 2: which I thought was quite cool. But if you run 1853 01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:44,920 Speaker 2: your life properly, you too can have a golf team. 1854 01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,599 Speaker 2: And I think that's partially the message, isn't it. Back tomorrow, 1855 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:48,760 Speaker 2: Happy Days. 1856 01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,360 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 1857 01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,599 Speaker 1: news talks that'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 1858 01:29:57,640 --> 01:29:59,160 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
