1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: It's New Zealand's home for trusted news and views. Heather 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Duplicy Allen on the mic asking breakfast with Bailey's real 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: estate all together better across residential, commercial and rural news talk. 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: Dead be morning and welcome. Coming up, we are going 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 2: to be talking open plan versus single classroom. Shirley Boys 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: has spent a fortune going back to the old way, 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: the principles with us after seven councils have been told 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: to stop working on district and regional plans because the 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: law's changing anyway. We'll have attached to the experts. Sunny 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: Koschl on why his crime group is so expensive, Richie 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: Bunnette on whether RTS really is going to take the 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: Saudi money. And have you heard of Lockie Hayes from Tokanui. 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: If you love country, they need to listen to it. 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 2: You'll be with us after eight must Heather Duplicy elan, Look, 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: I might be being hopelessly optimistic, but I have got 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: some hope that we may soon be able to turn 17 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: around our abysmal participation in local council elections. Local government 18 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: is releasing a report today on how to get us 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: voting and their idea is pretty simple. Basically, ditch the 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: postal votes, switch to running council elections like we do 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: central government elections. It'll be much more expensive, but it 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: will probably work if we do it, because you are 23 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: more likely to be reminded to vote if you see 24 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: the Orange man on a booth in your supermarket than 25 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: if you lose your voting form in the pile of 26 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: papers that's sitting on your kitchen bench. Now, I like 27 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: that idea, and I hope we do that idea, But 28 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: actually I don't think that this is the game changer. 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 2: I reckon the game changer costs us nothing. It's the 30 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: fact that ACT is standing candidates and council elections for 31 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: the first time this year. What I think really stops 32 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: us from voting is not how we vote. It's that 33 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: we don't know who the heck the people are who 34 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: want us to vote for them, and we do not 35 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: have time to research them. But if they say that 36 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 2: their ACT, or they say that their Labor or the Greens, 37 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: it gives us a shortcut and we know roughly what 38 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: they stand for. And this, I think is why the 39 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: Greens and Labor do disproportionately well at council elections. It 40 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: go somewhere to explaining why they constantly take out Wellington 41 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: council elections even though they're hopeless at it, because they 42 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: are already doing this and ACT is now going to 43 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 2: do it. And I think that's a game changer because 44 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: it starts with the pressure on National. The National has 45 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: to do it. If National is the last big hold 46 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: out here. If they do it, it's on and that 47 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: I think will get us voting because then we know 48 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: who these people are and also we know who to 49 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: hold accountable. 50 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: News of the world. In ninety seconds, Trump. 51 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: Had the Bahrain crown Prince on the yellow chairs, but 52 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: that pesky Epstein guy just kept on coming up. 53 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 4: I know it's a hoax. It's started by Democrats. It 54 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: started to actually look at the Steel Darcier that turned 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 4: out to be a total hoax. The fifty one Agency 56 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: intelligence so called intelligence agents was a hoax. It's all 57 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: been a big hoax. 58 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: Trump apparently also polled his lawmakers as to whether he 59 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: should fire Jerome Powell or not or is that also 60 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: a hoax. 61 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 4: You need a very smart person for that job. I 62 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 4: think it's one of the easiest jobs in government. You 63 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 4: show up once a month in your banker statement about 64 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: where the economy is going and we're going to raise 65 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 4: our lower interest rates. It's probably the easiest job I've 66 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: ever seen. 67 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 2: The Bahrain Crown Prince who to watch all of that 68 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: theater was asked about the Middle East after the Iran 69 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: Israel conflict. 70 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: Well, I definitely believe that the volatility. 71 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 5: Of the situation has been reduced, and we. 72 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 6: Didn't know where it was going to go on the Sunday. 73 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 7: We were very glad when we found out on the Monday. 74 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: Let me put it that way, a US citizen has 75 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: been caught up in Israel's attacks on the WIS Bank. 76 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 8: We protect all American citizens anywhere in the world, especially 77 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 8: they're unjustly murdered or killed. So we're gathering more information. 78 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 8: But I hope you saw yesterday, ambassador, how could be 79 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 8: in Israel? Asked the Israelis as the authorities to produce 80 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 8: an investigation and concrete information about who was responsible. 81 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: Over in the UK, Kiyostama has had now now had 82 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: a guts full of some of his in party revolters. 83 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: He suspended four of them to. 84 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 9: Re further labor MPs have had their roles as trade 85 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 9: envoys taken off them and they are Rosanna Alan Kahn, 86 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 9: Bell Ribero Addi and Mohammad Yassin. They were also active 87 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 9: in the welfare rebellion. 88 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: One of them was Rachel Musquete Mesco, but she doesn't 89 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: look like she's going to be taking the suspension lying down. 90 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: We've got to. 91 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 10: Protect those people in our society. I believe that, so 92 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 10: I could not have on my conscience something where we 93 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 10: know that people would take their own lives if they 94 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 10: had insufficiency. 95 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 2: Now, finally, the people of Thanet and Kent are annoyed, 96 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: and that is because the Thanet District Council is trying 97 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: to completely ban swearing. They're trying to introduce a public 98 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: Spaces Protection Order that would see anyone using foul or 99 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: abusive language in a manner that is loud or could 100 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 2: cause distress by finding them two hundred and twenty five. 101 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: I was going to say thousand, but it's two hundred 102 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 2: and twenty five is enough. Two hundred and twenty five 103 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: VIW Zealand dollars on the spot. They also tried it 104 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: this time a year ago, but they pulled out their 105 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: bid when the Free Speech Union threatened a judicial review. 106 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: But an alleged rise and anti social behavior on the 107 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: seafront has meant that the Thanet Council wants to try 108 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: again and apparently they do not care about the Free 109 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: Speech Union this time around. And that is news of 110 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: the world in ninety now. On that business with Trump 111 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: and Jerome Powell, what's happened is there's a New York 112 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: Times story that says that on Tuesday night he met 113 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: with a dozen or so House Republicans and he had 114 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: a draft letter in which he fires Jerome Powell. And 115 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: he holds this draft left her up to them and 116 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: asks them whether he should go ahead and do it. 117 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: And when he's polling them, I'm probably going to do 118 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: it anyway. So he's sort of, you know, like he's 119 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: got the letter there, he's asking their opinions. He's indicated 120 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: he's going to do it anyway. He was asked about 121 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: it in the Oval Office Wednesday, their time, so you know, 122 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: the following day he denies that there is a letter, 123 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: but he did confirm that the rest of it basically happened, 124 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 2: and he did poll their thoughts on whether he should 125 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: fire Jerome Powell, but he said it's not happening imminently. 126 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: Thirteen past six. 127 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power 128 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: My News Talks av. 129 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: Prince Harry has just been photographed quite unoriginally walking through 130 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: Angola's largest minefield, trying to be like his mum. Quarter 131 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: past six, Grexith Devin Phones Management. 132 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: Is with US Morning, Greek Morning. 133 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: Heather've got some more earnings from some of the banks. 134 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 11: We certainly have them. Some of the banks again bit 135 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 11: of a mixed picture. So Bank of America they had 136 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 11: profit climbing around about three percent from a year ago 137 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 11: to seven point one billion. That was ahead of estimates. 138 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 11: I have a four percent game and revenues twenty six 139 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 11: point six billion. That was actually below expectations. But they've 140 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 11: been the only major US bank thus far is fall 141 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 11: short there just really for that they were talking about 142 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 11: and just threats being lower than a year ago. They 143 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 11: did say the consume was in good shapes. That was 144 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 11: good news, and bad debts are low. She is down 145 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 11: around about one percent. And then we had Morgan Stanley. 146 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 11: They were well ahead of expectations. High trading revenues benefited 147 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 11: there and even come that was up thirteen percent. She 148 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 11: is we're actually down two and a half percent, but 149 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 11: they've had a pretty good run of late and they 150 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 11: were trading around record high as recently in gold and 151 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 11: sacks they also came out as well, and much like 152 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 11: Morgan Stanley, they've benefited from high trading amidst all the 153 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 11: volatility with a certain person from the White House and 154 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 11: uncertainly over an ever evolving trade situation. So their trading 155 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 11: operations generated eight hundred and forty million dollars in revenue, 156 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 11: more than expected, profit up twenty two percent three point 157 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 11: seven billion, revenues up fifteen percent fourteen point six billion. 158 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 11: That was around about one point one billion more than expected. 159 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 11: Stock trading wise, their revenue sawed thirty six percent. Investment 160 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 11: banking fees they are also up to twenty a deal 161 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 11: making around twenty six percent surge there. She has topped 162 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 11: slightly lower but up around twenty three percent year today 163 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 11: and just away from the banks here, as I thought, 164 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 11: it was a really interesting result from healthcare giant Johnson 165 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 11: Johnson now as she has soared over six percent. That's 166 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 11: their best day and over a year, very strong result. 167 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 11: Revenues up six percent twenty three point seven billion. Strong 168 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 11: sales are cancer treatments, medical devices earnings up nineteen percent. 169 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 11: They've actually also lifted for your guidance for earnings and 170 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 11: sales growth to investors like that. 171 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what about the US producer price inflation numbers? 172 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right. So we talked about the CPI, you say, 173 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 11: and it will showed that tariffs are starting to work 174 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 11: their way through the US economy and then impacting some 175 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 11: consumer categories. So what we're looking at overnight is produce 176 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 11: the price inflations. That's prices that are paid at the 177 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 11: factory gate and mettle and we will be pushed down 178 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 11: the lines. This is pretty important as well, some calls 179 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 11: for encouragement here. Wholesale prices are actually unchanged in June 180 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 11: and that defired forecasts for a bit of a lift 181 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 11: the core CPI that strips out food and energy prices. 182 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 11: That that was also flat as well, and that was 183 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 11: against expectations for a bit of a rise. Good prices 184 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 11: they rose, but it was offset by fall and services. 185 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 11: Although we did see tariffs, sense of the areas impacted 186 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 11: a bit more than others, so there was quite strong 187 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 11: lift in communication equipment for as an example. On annual basis, 188 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 11: the headline PPI is two point three percent. That was 189 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 11: actually down from two point seven percent in May and 190 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 11: for the lowest level since September tweeny twenty four. The 191 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 11: good side called PPI two point six percent. That's the 192 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 11: smallest gain since July twenty twenty four, so actually shows 193 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 11: along the CPI that there's a fairly marginal impact of 194 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 11: the tariffs at this point. But yeah, that could change 195 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 11: the months ahead and often also worth looking at the revisions, 196 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 11: which sometimes is overlocks. You look at MAZE numbers actually 197 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 11: were revised upwards to a point three percent gain, and 198 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 11: that was triple what was initially reported. But you mentioned 199 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 11: Donald Trump, He'll be, no doubt pushing for more, pushing 200 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 11: the line of sort of more rate cuts and sort 201 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 11: of putting the pressure on Jerome Pal. Yeah, it's sort 202 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 11: of he's keeping and guessing, isn't He sort of told 203 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 11: a bunch of Republicans who was going to fire him, 204 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 11: but then he sort of come back and said that 205 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 11: that was highly unlikely. So I suppose your Pal's term 206 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 11: doesn't expire till May next year, so I suppose it's 207 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 11: uncertainly something he's going to have to live for them 208 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 11: and the months ahead, and looking over his shoulder. But yeah, 209 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 11: to his credit he said that decisions will be based 210 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 11: on the data, which is what we like to hear. 211 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 2: Now, fair bit of news from the Kiwi electricity sector own. 212 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right. So gosh, it's sucking down outside of 213 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 11: the moment, Warren, But yeah, it has been a very 214 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,599 Speaker 11: dry year which has impacted the gent tailors. So we 215 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 11: saw we've seen this over the course of the last 216 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 11: or six months. A sober earnings. There was a couple 217 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 11: of our updates at yesterday, so really NATed the monthly updated. Basically, 218 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 11: the lakes are filling up again after what was a 219 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 11: dry year. So National Hydro storage the year there's it's 220 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 11: gone from ninety four percent one hundred and four percent 221 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 11: of historical averages, South Islands running at ninety five percent, 222 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 11: nor Fine running at one hundred and fifty percent. Dune 223 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 11: inflows are pretty strong and price as though we've picked 224 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 11: up there actually five zero point two percent higher than 225 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 11: a year ago. The customer numbers are almost ten percent are higher. 226 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 11: But look, it was a dry year, and you know, 227 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 11: when our lakes are running low, the sort of gap 228 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 11: has to be filled elsewhere and that was done by 229 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 11: buying more expensive guess calling on hunting and basically asking 230 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 11: the TI smelted to buy less Mirkley. They also had 231 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 11: an update out again this reflected a very dry year. 232 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 11: So the why Katto scheme is saw the lowest annual 233 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 11: generation since nineteen eighty. Lake Taupo has been very low. 234 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 11: That will have been changing of late and also win 235 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 11: generation lower. Both these year prices tick lower and they 236 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 11: have it a tough year. I suppose it's a bit 237 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 11: of a myth. I think that yeah, when mother nature 238 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 11: doesn't play ball, that's this is pushed down the line 239 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 11: to retail customers. Mean, retail electricity prices have been, despite 240 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 11: what you might think when you look at the electricity bill, 241 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 11: relatively stable and this has basically been warned by the 242 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 11: Gentis and you can see this in their ending statement. Nonetheless, 243 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 11: they continue to be in focused regulation wise, and we 244 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 11: had announcement now you see either from the Electricity Authority 245 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 11: and what that basically means is that they're going to 246 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 11: have to offer off peak electricity rates by the end 247 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 11: of by June twenty twenty six, So perhaps not particularly material, 248 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 11: but yeah, it will be good news for those wanting 249 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 11: to take advantage of cheaper off peak power and also 250 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 11: pertains to supply as well, so any of those with 251 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 11: rooftop solar systems will potentially be able to benefit. Orthoy 252 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 11: would still sort of a low level really at around 253 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 11: about three percent of households, but yeah, potentially some good 254 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 11: news for customers there. 255 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: Hopefully he give us the numbers. 256 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 12: Yeah. 257 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 11: So at the moment, the Dow is up point three percent, 258 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 11: forty four one three nine is P five hundred is 259 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 11: up point one percent, Nazek is up point h five percent, 260 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 11: foot see stepping back from record highs down point one 261 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 11: percent in the UK, and nickuy is flat. ASEX two 262 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 11: hundred down point eight percent in sex fifty we had 263 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 11: a good actually up point five percent twelve seven five 264 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 11: four and Freud a really strong session up three and 265 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 11: a half percent. They've and it added to the ASEX 266 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 11: two hundred index, which basically means we should see more 267 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 11: by nearby institutional shielddels who are focused on the ASSEX 268 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 11: two hundred. Gold gets up thirty dollars three thousand three 269 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 11: and fifty four an ounce, all up eleven cents, sixty 270 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 11: six spots sixty three just in the currencies, Ky flat 271 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 11: against the US dollar fifty nine point five, down a 272 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 11: bit against the eight dollar ninety one point one, down 273 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 11: point three percent against the British pound forty four point 274 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 11: three against the Japanese year eighty seven point eight with 275 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 11: down point eight percent. 276 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: There good stuff, Greg, Enjoy your morning.

They reckon that 322 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: their vape ban is going really well. It's a year now, 323 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: slightly more than a year actually where they decided to 324 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: ban the stuff from being able to be bought over 325 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: the counter. You have to go get a prescription and stuff. 326 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: They reckon it's working.

The rates were about seventeen 329 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: and a half percent. They've dropped down to fourteen zero 330 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: point six percent. This is from the start of twenty 331 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: twenty three to April this year, so over a couple 332 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: of years. Officials have seized more than ten million illegal 333 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: vapes as well, and they say they're now turning a 334 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 2: corner twenty two away from. 335 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 9: Seven Cowboys Out. 336 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 2: The National Library is planning another color of its books 337 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: this time.

Peter 342 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: Lynam is a professor emeritus of Religion and History at 343 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: Massi University and with us. 344 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 16: Good morning, Peter, good morning, how are you. 345 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. Do you mind the shredding 346 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: of the religious books? 347 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 16: Well, I don't mind particularly, but my goodness, religions do mind. 348 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 16: You know, there is a whole set of books talking 349 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 16: about how properly to dispose of worn out religious texts. 350 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 16: And for example, Muslims who suspect that somebody has destroyed 351 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 16: a Quran are likely to kill the person for their misbehavior. 352 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 16: And Jews have a special part of the cemetery in 353 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 16: which properly you should bury the books with a set ritual. 354 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 16: And for the Sikhs, it's a very remarkable story. They 355 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 16: believe that their sacred scriptures are the living leader of 356 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 16: the church, so you must not on any account I 357 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 16: suppose of them. 358 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 15: You know, I could go on. 359 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 2: It's quite a story, okay, in which case should the 360 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: National Library be offering them to the religions themselves, these 361 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 2: books and say you can rehome. 362 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 16: Them yes, I think that's essential. I mean I am 363 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 16: scandalized by the whole behavior of the National Library treating 364 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 16: our National Library effectively as a sort was second rate library. 365 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 16: It doesn't need to have everything, and I think it's 366 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 16: essential to preserve the books anyway, but for sacred texts 367 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 16: they must be treated with great care and reverence. And 368 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 16: I mean the attitude of book van de Belden who 369 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 16: made the comment, what was it that, oh, well, this 370 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 16: is a secular country, so we can do what we 371 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 16: want too with them. Well, that's that's the source of 372 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 16: all the problems of tensions between religions, when we fail 373 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 16: to recognize we may be secular. That doesn't make us 374 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 16: careless about other people. Very good, strongly, hopefully good point. 375 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: But just on the idea that we need to hold 376 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 2: every kind of book that we have currently, I mean, 377 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: it's a global world now, right, should we not actually 378 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 2: be specializing in New Zealand books? And if you really 379 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: really want to get your hands on something that is 380 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: available elsewhere and you're research and you travel elsewhere. 381 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 16: Well, for start. The amazing thing is over the Generations 382 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 16: Financial Library compiled a remarkable set of books that made 383 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 16: us an international library By saying that we're only going 384 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 16: to preserve New Zealand books, we're saying that all that 385 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 16: we care about is our own culture and failing to 386 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 16: recognize that in most cases we're a derivative culture. You know, 387 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 16: we are depended upon other things. Yes, I quite agree 388 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 16: that a great thing that has happened in recent years 389 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 16: is the scanning of texts so that they are very 390 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 16: readily available to the scholar and the researcher. But there 391 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 16: is nothing. 392 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 15: Like the real book. 393 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 16: I can tell you. I love the National Library. 394 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 17: I just love. 395 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 16: Going in and drawing upon its huge resources. 396 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 18: Yeah, brilliant. 397 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: It's lovely to talk to you, Peter. You look after yourself. 398 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 2: Peter Lyne and Professor Emeritus of Religion and History at 399 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 2: Massive University. Incidentally, I actually think that I may have 400 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: about three of Peter's books at my house and I 401 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: don't know where they are, so I'm not going to 402 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 2: discuss it with him. I had to borrow some religious 403 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 2: texts from him to do a bit of study, and 404 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: then I don't think I gave them back anyway. Maybe 405 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 2: he'll get in touch with me after this. Are we 406 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: really that first? 407 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 3: By this? 408 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: Come on? I mean, look, I don't want to be. 409 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: I don't want to be dumping on anybody else's religion. 410 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: I'm speaking from a Christian point of view, right, But 411 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: I mean the other day one of the cousins turned 412 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 2: up with a kid's Bible and I looked at it 413 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: and it was tatty, and I thought, when you turn around, mate, 414 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: that's going straight in the bin, right, Because I mean, 415 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: I just go down the road by another Bible if 416 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 2: I want one. 417 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 7: Anyway, I quite like the idea of a fifty story 418 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 7: building full of books. That's that's quite cool. 419 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very modern. That off the table now eighteen 420 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: away from seven the Mike. 421 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 422 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 5: It be. 423 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: Goodness. I don't know if you've been following. Look, I 424 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 2: know the answer I was going to say, I don't 425 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 2: know if you've been following the local Government New Zealand conference. 426 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: And the answer is obviously no, because you've got a 427 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 2: life and you're not a nerd and you don't hate yourself. 428 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: But it is my job too, so I did it 429 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 2: for you. And let me tell you, things got tense 430 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: there yesterday. I'm going to run you through those details 431 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: at some stage. I don't know if they love Chris Bishop, 432 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 2: but I would say probably not. But anyway, one of 433 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: the things that's come out is that they're basically saying 434 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 2: to councils, now, stop all of your regional and district planning. 435 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: We're changing the laws. Don't waste your time. Were and 436 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: talk about that. After seven, it's quarter. 437 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: Two International correspondence with ends and eye in peace of 438 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 439 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 2: Joe McKenna is with us out of Italy. Halo Joe, 440 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: good money, Heather. So, would you say the last thousand days, 441 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: which is obviously Maloney in office, have been the best 442 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 2: days of your life? 443 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,959 Speaker 19: Well, Georgia Maloney, the Italian Prime Minister, might say that 444 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 19: it's been a harrowing, intense time for her, but I 445 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 19: think she's done a pretty good job because her popularity 446 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 19: really hasn't waivered that much. I was looking at her 447 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 19: party popularity. It's still quite strong at twenty eight percent. 448 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 19: She's almost in office now for three years. She's published 449 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 19: her biography and it's now available in English. It's called 450 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 19: I Am Georgia, and that's also an interesting look at 451 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 19: her life. She's had a very rough childhood, she's grown 452 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 19: up with a single mother, she's now a single mother, 453 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 19: and I think Italians seem to think she's doing a 454 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 19: pretty good job. 455 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what are they basing that on. Well, I think. 456 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 19: The fact that their stability is a great thing in 457 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 19: her favor. She's managed to hold together a government coalition. 458 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 19: They love the fact that she got rid of government 459 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 19: subsidies for unemployed citizens and what was called the super Bonus, 460 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 19: which was a tax benefit for home renovations that boosted 461 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 19: the economy, but it also boosted the government debt. So 462 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 19: she got rid of things like that and people saw 463 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 19: that as a great. 464 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 2: Move, a tough gesture. 465 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 19: But of course now she has to negotiate the tariffs 466 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 19: with the US President Donald Trump. 467 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 2: I can't imagine people are going to be thrilled about 468 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: the idea though, that ten thousand prisoners get released. 469 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 14: Yeah. 470 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 19: I think that's also a very controversial issue for this government. 471 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 19: The Justice Ministry said that it might release up to 472 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 19: ten thousand people from prison. A lot of controversy here 473 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 19: about overcrowded prisons. The rate seems to be one of the. 474 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: Worst in Europe. 475 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 19: A level of occupancy of around one hundred and twenty 476 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 19: two percent, which means there are a lot of prisoners 477 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 19: with not a lot of space in there. So I 478 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 19: think it's going to be a controversial issue if they 479 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 19: do allow serious offenders out. They say that they won't, 480 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 19: but let's wait and see, and I don't think it's 481 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 19: going to happen tomorrow. 482 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: Okay, So what's port Afino actually doing. 483 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 19: Port Afino is one of visually's most exclusive resort towns, 484 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 19: very popular with the ips and Hollywood stars. It seems 485 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 19: like every summer they introduce a new move to stop 486 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 19: people from having a good time. It's now forbidden to 487 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 19: walk around barefoot, shirtless or in swimsuits. You're not allowed 488 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 19: to beg camp or drink alcohol on the street. It's 489 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 19: not a lot of fun, is it. They say that 490 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 19: it's important to introduce these prohibitions to make it easier 491 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 19: for everybody. 492 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 2: But then on the other hand, okase, so hating the tourists, 493 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: but then also trying to protect the tourists from the pickpockets. Yeah, 494 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: that's right. 495 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 19: This is a big issue, as many New Zealanders will 496 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 19: know if they've traveled to Italy. Many of the big 497 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 19: tourist hotspots like Rome, Venice, Milan Naples are targeting the pickpockets. 498 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 19: The mayors want tougher laws, national laws to stop them 499 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 19: from recruiting the young kids under the age of fourteen. 500 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 19: Now they do that to try and escape prosecution because 501 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 19: the younger ones have are less likely to be ending 502 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 19: up in jail or prosecuted in the courts, and the 503 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 19: mayors want to do something about that to clamp down 504 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 19: on these pickpockets, which are having a bit of a 505 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 19: field day at the moment. 506 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and have for such a long time. Joe, thank 507 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,239 Speaker 2: you very much, appreciate it, Joe Head, Italy correspondent. So 508 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 2: governments decided, thank the Good Lord for that, to kill 509 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: the open open plan classroom thing that we've been doing 510 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: for unknown reasons. We have been persisting with this ridiculous idea, 511 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 2: and they've decided we're going to go back to the 512 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: single classrooms like the old days. Shirley Boys High has 513 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: already done this. Now Shirley Boy's High. Was am I 514 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 2: overstating it to say they're wanted the poster child children 515 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: of this, but I feel like they were back in 516 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen being damaged by the earth quake and they've 517 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: got the rebuild going in twenty nineteen, and the Ministry 518 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: of Education said, if we're going to do it, let's 519 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: do the open planet and went ahead with it because 520 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: the Ministry of Education was shoving it down everybody's throat. 521 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: Did it for six years and then we're like, hm, 522 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: this is not working. They asked, They asked the kids. 523 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: They did like a bit of a survey of kids 524 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: and teachers and parents, and everybody hated it so overwhelmingly 525 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 2: that they decided to put the walls back up, and 526 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 2: it cost them a small fortune for a school. Eight 527 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. Immediate results, 528 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: hugely positive feedback, said the principal staff. On the first day, 529 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: absolutely thrilled. One of our teachers was hugging the walls 530 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 2: in her classroom because she was so thrilled to have wolves. 531 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: The boys are just much happier going to speak to 532 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 2: that principle after seven o'clock. I mean, who would have 533 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: thought that silence promotes concentration to hang on? 534 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 7: When I was in Space five at Fendlton Primary in 535 00:25:54,240 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 7: the seventies, when Robert Muldoon was Prime Minister. Yes, whose 536 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 7: fault was that that I was in an open planning classroom. 537 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 2: Then well, the Ministry of Education, because everything is the 538 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 2: Ministry of Education's fault, isn't it. 539 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 7: So I'm just trying to figure out which bit of 540 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 7: the past we're going back to. Obviously you won't know how. 541 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 2: Old school this is. Oh, this is pre glen Old School, 542 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 2: this is nineteen fifties, this is this is the good days, 543 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: the healcion days of Winston Peter's type. 544 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 17: You know. 545 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 7: So we're going to be giving people the strap again. 546 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: And we're going to make make New Zealand education system 547 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: great again. Nine away from seven. 548 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: Here the duplicy Ellen on the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 549 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: Vida Retirement Communities News Dogs head be. 550 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: Heather, We've just pulled our two girls out of an 551 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 2: open planned school. Was so relieved with our decision, even 552 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 2: had teachers at the school we were leaving telling us 553 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 2: we've made the right choice. We are now at a 554 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 2: private school, but it's money well spent, Heather. I just 555 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 2: want to clarify for people that open planned schools are 556 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: nothing new. I taught in one in nineteen seventy seven 557 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 2: and I couldn't wait to leave because it was it 558 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 2: was absolute chaos Back then probably teaching Glenn actually six 559 00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: away from seven. 560 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 7: I think that's more related to me than I thought, 561 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 7: so robably, all. 562 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 3: The ins and the outs, it's the fiz with. 563 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: Business fiber, take your business productivity to. 564 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 3: The next level. 565 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 2: Hey, here's a quick look at our real estate market 566 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 2: and who's buying thanks to the cotality buyer classification data 567 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 2: for June. Over the last three months to June I 568 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,239 Speaker 2: EQ two, the trends that we were seeing in Q 569 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 2: one have mostly stuck. First home buyers make up twenty 570 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: six percent of property purchases in Q two, so that 571 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 2: is staying at around our record high levels, which is 572 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 2: brilliant for them. It's actually our major cities leading the 573 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: way for the first home buyers as well. In Wellington, 574 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: thirty six percent of all homes bought in Q two 575 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: were by first home buyers. That's despite Wellington's exorbitant prices 576 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: historically Hamilton thirty two percent, Auckland twenty nine percent, christ 577 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: Church and Dunedin twenty seven percent. So who make up 578 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: the rest of the buyers will MPOs are back on 579 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 2: the rise. That's mortgaged multiple property owners. They bought twenty 580 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 2: three percent of homes in Q two, which is up 581 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 2: slightly on Q one and just behind the long term 582 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: average of twenty five percent. And looking at the MPOs, 583 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 2: it's those with a portfolio of less fewer than four 584 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 2: properties that are contributing the most to the rise. That's 585 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 2: the category where typically the mum and dad investors sit, 586 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 2: those who buy a home for their kids, so technically 587 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 2: it's on their housing portfolio. How good is that? Brilliant news. 588 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: Just a quick update on Emma Walt Watson. I don't 589 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: know why I'm telling you this. I think it's because 590 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 2: I'm surprised that Emma's a bad person. Well sort of. 591 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 2: She's the one who played Hermione Granger in the Harry 592 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 2: Potter films. She's lost her license for six months because 593 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 2: she was speeding, got herself a Blue Houdy, went too 594 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: fast driving around Oxford. She's driving around Oxford. That's how 595 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: many demerit points she already had, so then she got 596 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: another demerit point, then took the license off her. Anyway, 597 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: she's driving around in Oxford because, just like in the movie, 598 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 2: she's very clever. She's doing a master's degree in creative writing. 599 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: Well done her. Now, Chris Bishop, so he turns up 600 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 2: at the local geeze. That looked uncomfortable. I mean imagine 601 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 2: going to somebody's conference and then just standing on the 602 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: stage and telling them are crappy. They are, But this 603 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 2: is what the Nats are not afraid of doing this 604 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 2: at the moment. Second year in a row, they've gone 605 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: hard on these guys. So Chris Bishop goes to the 606 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: Council yesterday the Council's conference yesterday, gave a speech. He 607 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: says to them, we are getting our house in order. 608 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 2: It's time you saw to jaws out. It's okay to 609 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 2: build a local road without spending hundreds of thousands on artworks. 610 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: Not everything you do has to be an architectural masterpiece. 611 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: The only awards that your project should be winning up 612 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 2: for cost, efficiency and effectiveness. The time for excuses is over. 613 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: The culture of yes starts now. They did not love it. 614 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: In fact, I think one of them might have piped 615 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: up and given them a bit of lip over that. 616 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: But we love it and that's what matters right where 617 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 2: the people paying their bills, paying the rates. And I 618 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: loved hearing that. Anyway, we're going to talk about that 619 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: after seven. Also Sunny Koschel, he runs the Crime Advisory 620 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 2: Group for the counts, for the government. It is costing. 621 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: It's been around one hundred days, cost us half a 622 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: million dollars already. He will explain soon. News Talk zb. 623 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to Stay in the Now, 624 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: Keath Duple, see Allen on the Mic Asking Breakfast with 625 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: the land Rover, Discovery Never Stop Discovering, News Togs dead b. 626 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 2: Good morning to you. In another education revent, the government's 627 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 2: announced open plan classrooms are gone and we're going back 628 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 2: to single classes. At Cheerley Boys High School, they spent 629 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand dollars changing their open plan spaces back 630 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: to single cell rooms after poor performance. And Tim Grocott 631 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 2: is the headmaster and with us now morning. 632 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 13: Tim, oh, good morning here that. 633 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 2: Why didn't it work for you guys? 634 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 13: I think for us we just found the distractions were 635 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 13: too great. It was too noisy, too much going on. 636 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 13: Boys struggle to focus on the learning that was in 637 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 13: front of them, and our teachers just found the same. Basically, 638 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 13: it was hard to keep the boys engage in those areas. 639 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 2: Have you seen a turnaround since you put the walls 640 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 2: back up? Yeah? 641 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 13: Absolutely, people are just much happier you know, we we 642 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 13: haven't had enough of an opportunity to sort of measure achievement, 643 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 13: but certainly we're seeing some really good engagement from the 644 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 13: boys and people just really happy to be in spaces. 645 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,239 Speaker 13: Our teachers have just been able to set up their 646 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 13: own rooms. I've got a bit of ownership over their space, 647 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 13: look after it better. All of those sorts of things 648 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 13: have been really good, along with really positive teaching, the 649 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 13: student relationships, you know, which is really key for us 650 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 13: in the Boys school. 651 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 2: I see that some schools are not entirely happy with this. 652 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 2: They still want some flexibility. They want to be able 653 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: to have the open plan. Why would a school want 654 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 2: open plan at all? 655 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 13: Look, I'm not one hundred percent sure why that would be. 656 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 13: I guess that the flexibility of how you use spaces 657 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 13: and doing different things. I guess that's what they're looking for. 658 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 13: If I think about our context, you know, we're a 659 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 13: secondary school. We teach individual subjects. Therefore, having individual rooms 660 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 13: to teach in is with one teacher, that's absolutely crucial 661 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 13: and for us, particularly with the way the curriculum is developing, 662 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 13: that's going to be even more crucial. So that for us, 663 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 13: that was just an absolute no brainer. 664 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I know that boys really really need to concentrate. 665 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 2: Is it different at co ed schools and girls schools. 666 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 13: In terms of the classrooms? 667 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 668 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 13: How look, there will be a max I mean christ 669 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 13: Chuch is probably different because of the christ Church rebuilt. 670 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 13: There will be a mixture of spaces. But for schools 671 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 13: that were designed and built around that twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, 672 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 13: twenty seventeen period, most of those schools will have elements 673 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 13: of modern learning. 674 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: What I was asking Tim, is it I know that 675 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 2: boys need a single classroom to concentrate, right, They really 676 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 2: need to be able to not be distracted. What about girls? 677 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 13: I think probably there is a difference, a slight difference, 678 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 13: but a difference between the way that boys and girls learn. 679 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 13: I think that in the teenage years, the girls certainly 680 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 13: have that stronger ability to concentrate and to focus on 681 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 13: the task in front of them. Boys need far more structure. 682 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 13: Girls are able to learn better independently, And what we're 683 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 13: finding is that the boy that structure that can be 684 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 13: provided in an individual room is really helpful. But having 685 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 13: said that that, there will be a mixed ride across 686 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 13: boys and girls. There will be girls who would be 687 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 13: loving being in individual spaces as well. 688 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, Tim, really appreciate your time to look after yourself. 689 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: That's Tim Grocott, headmaster at Shirley Boys High School. 690 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 3: Heaver do for CELA. 691 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: Government has ordered counsels to stop working on their regional plans. 692 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: They say it is pointless given that the plans are 693 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 2: being made under the current ROMA and the RMA is 694 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: about to be rewritten. Janet Campbell is the chair of 695 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 2: the RMA Expert Advisory Group. Morning Jeanette, Good morning, Heather. Now, 696 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 2: I know it's going to likely vary from council to counsel, 697 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: but on average, how much of a council's work is 698 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 2: wrapped up and designing the plan and then holding the 699 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: hearings and so on. 700 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 20: Oh, there's a very large workload that councils hold to 701 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 20: advance plans. So this will remove a lot of unnecessary 702 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 20: work from council's books. 703 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 2: What would you reckon ten percent, thirty fifty percent? 704 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 20: Oh I'm not one hundred percent sure, Heather, but my 705 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 20: gut feeling would be that it would be at least 706 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 20: fifty percent. 707 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 2: Wow. Really okay, Well, in which case we're going to 708 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 2: have people sitting around like a lot of people sitting 709 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: around potentially twiddling their thumbs for the next couple of years, 710 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 2: aren't they. 711 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 20: No doubt that very much. We've got a reform coming 712 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 20: that's going to require a lot of work from councils. 713 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 20: It's going to be a big job to get ready 714 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 20: for and implement the new system that is coming. And 715 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 20: I think councils will certainly not be twiddling their thumbs. 716 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 20: They'll be doing a lot of thinking and work. 717 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 2: Are you into the idea of having twenty zones that 718 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 2: are used around the country and councils can pick from 719 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 2: one of those zones? 720 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 20: Look, I love the Minister's optimism about twenty zones. I'm 721 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 20: not sure whether we can pull it off, at least 722 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 20: perhaps not in one hit we've got I can't remember 723 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 20: the number, but over a thousand at the moment, and 724 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 20: that certainly can. 725 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 15: Be very much reduced. 726 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 20: I'd love to see twenty zones or something really close 727 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 20: to it. 728 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 2: Ye, why can't we have as few as twenty zones? 729 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 20: Oh, maybe I'm just unambitious this early in the morning, Heather, 730 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 20: It just I don't know. 731 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 15: We did have a big reduction. 732 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 20: In zones when we had the Auckland Supercity come together 733 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 20: and we had a lot of wrangling over, for example, 734 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 20: different residential zones, and that I think has ultimately been 735 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 20: really successful in his really simplified things. 736 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 15: So maybe we will. Maybe I'm just not. 737 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 20: Yet, since he's not well caffeinated enough with you wanting to. 738 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 2: Get yourself a cup of coffee and start to feel 739 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 2: the vibes. Jeanette Campbell, RMA, Expert Advisory Group che If 740 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:53,959 Speaker 2: you don't know what I'm talking about with the zones, 741 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 2: I will explain very shortly. Thirteen past seven ether do 742 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: for cels dart out this morning shows that if you 743 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 2: you've got a job, you're probably earning more than you 744 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 2: ever have. The national average salary is now seventy three thousand, 745 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,479 Speaker 2: eight hundred and twenty three. That's up one point five 746 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 2: percent on last year. Wellington is Water Surprize given the 747 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 2: public Service. The highest paid region average salary seventy six, 748 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,959 Speaker 2: eight hundred and fifty one, so that's about three three, yeah, 749 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 2: three thousand more than the average. All regions have been 750 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 2: pretty flat or going up in terms of their salaries, 751 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 2: except for Taranaki which went down. But here's the thing. 752 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 2: If you're looking for work, you are fighting over some 753 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: of the lowest number of listings ever. Job listings on 754 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: trade me in the quarter were down seventeen point seven 755 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 2: percent year on year. That's for every region that experienced 756 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: Every region experienced a decrease worse than the main centers, 757 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: particularly in the CBDs. Auckland went down five point eight, 758 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 2: Wellington down two point seven, Canterbury down two point three. 759 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 2: It was Hawke's Bay though, that went down the biggest, 760 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 2: biggest decrease thirty six percent decrease in listings. This is 761 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 2: the second lowest number of job listings on trade me 762 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 2: ever recorded. Basically, what it means is if you score 763 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,439 Speaker 2: a job, you're going to be earning more than ever. 764 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 2: But good luck scoring one. 765 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 766 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: By News Talks at b. 767 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 2: There is a rumor from across the ditch that RTS 768 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 2: is going to sign with the Saudi Rugby League and 769 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 2: that he is going to double his pay packet. He's 770 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 2: paid about five fifty or something like that, five hundred 771 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars by the Warriors. But if he 772 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 2: goes over to the saudis it might be over a million. 773 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 2: So we're going to talk to the foot and he's 774 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 2: not the only league player they're targeting. Apparently, we'll talk 775 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 2: to for m keew. He's captain Richie Barnett. Closer to 776 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 2: eight o'clock, it's seventeen past seven.

It's made up of the retailers who are 779 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 2: giving the government ideas on how to tackle the crime 780 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 2: that's going on in the stores. Turns out the group 781 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 2: has existed for one hundred days and it's cost the 782 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 2: taxpayers around five hundred thousand dollars. Sunny Caucil is the 783 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: chair of the group with us. 784 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,720 Speaker 18: Now morning Sonny, Really good morning head Now. 785 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 2: Sunny, this is a lot of money for one hundred days, 786 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 2: isn't it, Heather. 787 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 18: Actually, we are under budget. 788 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 11: You know. 789 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 18: The great thing about our group is that we are 790 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 18: funded out of the Pursuits of Crime Fund. That means 791 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 18: we are funded by the money seized from the criminals 792 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,720 Speaker 18: and gangs. So we are spending day money. 793 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 17: You know. 794 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 18: Our group Minstial Advisory Groups of budget for the full 795 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 18: year is one point eight million dollars.

I just 838 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 2: feel like this just feels like a money go around, 839 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 2: doesn't it. It's it's people just getting some easy coin. 840 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 18: No, Heather, I wouldn't agree on that one. This is 841 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 18: money well spent. 842 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 17: You know. 843 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 18: A tail crime in New Zealand is costing two point 844 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 18: eight billion dollars. You know, shop listing itself is costing 845 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 18: New Zealanders one point four billion dollars annually. Then there's 846 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 18: a human cost to retail crime. These are the costs 847 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 18: I'm worried about. You know, if we have to deliver 848 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 18: the quality reports, if we have to get the law 849 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 18: change which have not been changed as old as from 850 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 18: one hundred and twenty seven years, we need to come 851 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 18: up with quality reports.

Now, 889 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 2: this is something very close to my heart at the 890 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 2: moment because I have to make a decision in kind 891 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 2: of roughly the next six months or so about which 892 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 2: school we send our son to. But it really isn't 893 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 2: a decision at all, because it's going to be the 894 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 2: one school in the area that has single classes instead 895 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 2: of open plan modern learning spaces. It is the school 896 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 2: that his best friend from KINDI is going to. It 897 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 2: is also the school that another parent I know has 898 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 2: just sent their child to, And all of us are 899 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 2: doing it for exactly the same reason, which is we 900 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 2: want to avoid those open planned learning spaces because we know, 901 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 2: like most parents do. I would say that if you 902 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 2: stick a hundred kids in a big room and tell 903 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 2: them to pay attention to the teacher in front of them, 904 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,919 Speaker 2: they can't. They get distracted by the loud noises coming 905 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,439 Speaker 2: from the other kids over there, or the TV over there, 906 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 2: or what the teacher is saying over there, or why 907 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 2: someone's laughing over there. There's just a hundred distractions all 908 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 2: the time. Why the Ministry of Education forced this on 909 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 2: schools will probably baf me for the rest of my 910 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,839 Speaker 2: life because there's no logic to it. No one who 911 00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 2: has kids, will spends time with kids, can really believe 912 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 2: that kids can concentrate and learn when there are a 913 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 2: hundred voices chirping around them. Which idiot came up with this? 914 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: I'd actually love to know. Just to settle me, I'll 915 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 2: tell you what the legacy of this government could well 916 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 2: be that it finally turns around. Are up to now 917 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 2: decades long decline in education stats with that ban on 918 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 2: phones in schools, with the hour a day of reading, 919 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 2: writing and maths, with the expectation that kids must pass 920 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 2: existing standards, and actually gives our kids a chance to 921 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 2: learn as well as other kids in any other developed 922 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 2: country like we used to. And if that happens, then 923 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 2: Erica Stanford, given how crucial education is to a country success, 924 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 2: Erica Stanford will remain as I see her, the MVP 925 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 2: of this government if not of the decade, if not 926 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 2: of her generation, I ever do for see have slightly 927 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 2: run out of time to deal with his zonees thing, 928 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 2: but I will do it with you shortly, can I 929 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,439 Speaker 2: Is anybody else as surprise as I am to find 930 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: out that we don't have off peak pricing for the elector. 931 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 2: I thought if you put your dryer on it midday, 932 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 2: you're paying less than seven to nine. Apparently not anyway, 933 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 2: We'll talk to the Commerce Commission about that very shortly. 934 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 2: And Lockie Hayes. If you love country, the boy from 935 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,319 Speaker 2: Tokanui might be something that you enjoy. He's with us 936 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 2: after eight. 937 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: Your source of breaking news, challenging opinion and honored facts. 938 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: Heather duper Celent on the mic Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's 939 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: real Estate altogether better across residential, commercial, and rural news 940 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: talks head. 941 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 2: Be Hither the open playing classes is another experiment that's 942 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,280 Speaker 2: cost the country hundreds of millions of dollars in cost 943 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 2: student learning, which is far worse. I'd agree that hither 944 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 2: the sunny Cocial deal does not sound like the best deal. No, 945 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 2: it does not at all sound like a fantastic deal. 946 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 2: I just I bristle at the idea that free. I 947 00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 2: bristle at how we do this? 948 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 15: Right? 949 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 2: Free ideas are free? Why are you paying for them? 950 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 2: These were ideas that were around before. Anyway, Now zones, 951 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 2: let me quickly run you through this. So how this 952 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 2: works in this country is under the RMA. You've got 953 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 2: a bunch of zones, right, and the zones determine how 954 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 2: you build in each zone. Each zone has got its 955 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 2: own rules for how you build something or what you 956 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 2: do with resources or whatever. We have got one thousand 957 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 2: plus zones in New Zealand. In Japan, which is a 958 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 2: similar size and geography to ours and a population twenty 959 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 2: five times bigger, they have thirteen zones, thirteen versus our 960 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 2: one thousand plus. The idea is that we pick twenty 961 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 2: zones and then we say to councils, here's twenty zones. 962 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 2: You choose which one you want. You stick with? That 963 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 2: that sounds to me like a really good idea, much 964 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: less confusing, don't you think? Twenty two away from it? 965 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:47,919 Speaker 15: Come back? 966 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 2: There are changes coming that might bring your power build down. 967 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 2: The electricity Authority is forcing big power companies to offer 968 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 2: cheaper prices at off peak times and also pay better 969 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 2: prices to solar users who feed power back into the grid. Now, 970 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 2: this comes after a report involving the COMMUS Commission. In 971 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 2: the chair of the ComCom Dottor John Smallers with us 972 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 2: Morning John, Good morning Heather. I was under the impression 973 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 2: that we pay less off peak. How is this not 974 00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:12,320 Speaker 2: the case. 975 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 6: Well, the wholesale market prices are cheaper off peak, but 976 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 6: retail prices are different. They're determined by what retailers offer. 977 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,919 Speaker 6: And what this is really doing is saying all big 978 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,320 Speaker 6: retailers have to offer plans that. 979 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 2: Look like this, okay, and how much less do they 980 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,320 Speaker 2: need to charge us off peak? 981 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 6: That's not specified. It's just all of specified is that 982 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 6: every retailer has to have a plan that varies by 983 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,360 Speaker 6: peak and off peak. And that's then obviously it's not 984 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 6: compulsory for people to use that. People will pick those 985 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 6: up if they want them. But the idea is that 986 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 6: they have to be offered. 987 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 2: But what if they do something tricky like they offer 988 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 2: it at two percent less or something like that. 989 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 6: The theory that is thelying this is essentially that they'll 990 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 6: they'll compete with each other and people will look across them. 991 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 6: You know, if If this doesn't work out as planned, 992 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 6: then obviously regulators have to think about what comes next. 993 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 6: But that's the basic idea. Give them an opportunity, make them, 994 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 6: make them compete in this way and see how it goes, and. 995 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 2: How much do you anticipate people will be able to. 996 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 6: Save we I don't have that modeling. The Outrist Authority 997 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 6: has some modeling of that. But look, it's just directionally 998 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 6: the right thing to do. 999 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 2: I think either I would agree with that totally. By 1000 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 2: the way, how much are they going to pay the 1001 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 2: solar that the people who are feeding electricity back through 1002 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 2: their solar power. 1003 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 6: Again, that's not that's a that's a principal based regulation 1004 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 6: that it has to be done. This one is actually 1005 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 6: running through the lines companies, so they're the ones who 1006 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 6: have to put a negative price through to the retailers 1007 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 6: were something gets passed on, So a little bit of 1008 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 6: of supply chain there. But again the idea is you 1009 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,760 Speaker 6: have to do this because it is saving you capital, 1010 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 6: so you must you must pay for it. 1011 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 2: Listen on the supermarkets and the and the charges that 1012 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 2: were laid earlier this week, Can you explain what you 1013 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 2: guys are alleging happened between Gilmore's and the supplier. 1014 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I'll have yes. 1015 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 15: Sure. 1016 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:31,560 Speaker 6: Look the supplier, uh And there's a supplier and a 1017 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 6: customer and both of them have trade with first Us 1018 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 6: and Gilmore's. The the supplier and the customer struck a 1019 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 6: direct deal. So it was just you know, i'll sell 1020 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:52,760 Speaker 6: directly to you. And and when Gilmores and bird Stars 1021 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 6: found out about that, they weren't very happy and they 1022 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 6: wanted the trade rooted through them. H And that's what 1023 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 6: ended up happening. 1024 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,279 Speaker 2: Well, how did they manage to get what they want? 1025 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 6: They have ways of persuading people about these things. 1026 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 2: Did they threaten allegedly? 1027 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, look that this will come out in court. 1028 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,800 Speaker 6: But the phrase have produced in the media release is persuaded. 1029 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,239 Speaker 2: Okay, what what? Why did you use the phrase persuaded? 1030 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 2: I feel like there's more to the story, John. 1031 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 6: Oh, there is, but it's before it is. You know, 1032 00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,919 Speaker 6: it's a really interesting case. It's a very important case 1033 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,480 Speaker 6: for us because you know, it's one where the interaction 1034 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 6: between supermarkets and suppliers is going to be ventilated. So 1035 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,280 Speaker 6: it's a landmark case, but it is before the courts, 1036 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 6: and so you know, I think we'd better just let 1037 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 6: those facts converge at that point. 1038 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 2: This is the allegation that has been made now by 1039 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 2: suppliers for some time, right that there is a lot 1040 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 2: of heavying going on by the supermarkets and so they 1041 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 2: basically have their businesses screwed. And would you say that 1042 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 2: if this is proven, This is what we're talking about. 1043 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 2: This is what the supply as a saying. 1044 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,880 Speaker 6: This is exactly what the suppliers have been saying to 1045 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 6: us for a long time, and we've been we've long 1046 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 6: been concerned about it. 1047 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 2: And does it affect what I pay at the supermarket? 1048 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 6: Not this particular case, but in general it could do. 1049 00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 21: Okay, so well, it's restriction of competition perfectly. So if 1050 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 21: this conduct was widespread, then it would be it would 1051 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:29,800 Speaker 21: be restrictive. 1052 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,000 Speaker 2: Okay, looking forward to seeing that hit the courts. Really 1053 00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 2: appreciate your time, John. That's John Small, the Chair of 1054 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 2: the Commerce Commission. Yesterday this time we were speaking to 1055 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 2: Sonny Bill Williams. He was pretty he is feeling pretty 1056 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 2: cock I hope wasn't he he was? 1057 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:41,800 Speaker 15: You got it. 1058 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 2: He got smashed. Paul Gallon won the fight. To be fair, 1059 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,359 Speaker 2: actually to say he got smashed is not fair because 1060 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 2: it was close. One judge gave it to Sonny Bill 1061 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 2: Williams seventy four to seventy seven. The other judge gave 1062 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 2: it to Gallon seventy four seventy seven, so at that 1063 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 2: point they matched. Third judge is the tiebreaker, gives it 1064 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 2: to Gallon seventy six to seventy five, one point difference. 1065 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 2: One point difference because in the seventh round, Sunny Bill 1066 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 2: Williams is doing a bit of clinching and that's what 1067 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:07,359 Speaker 2: lost it for him. 1068 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's just a man who hugs too much. 1069 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 2: Just is a lover, not a fighter. Sixteen away from 1070 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,160 Speaker 2: eight The Vice. 1071 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 1: Asking Breakers Full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 1072 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 2: At Me, Heather, I have off peak power, Heather, I 1073 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 2: get fourteen cents from twenty what fourteen cents to twenty 1074 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 2: eighth fourteen cents to twenty eight percents per unit for 1075 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 2: peak power. Lord, how about just understanding how to read English? Heather, 1076 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 2: You're absolutely making steffup stuff up for sensationalism. Actually, by 1077 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 2: the way, on that to the various Texters who have 1078 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 2: over the last two weeks taken special time out of 1079 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,399 Speaker 2: their day to text me to tell me that I'm 1080 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 2: a know nothing bozo hoose. Interview with the Minister Scott 1081 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,720 Speaker 2: Simpson got quoted in the Banking Select Committee yesterday Heather diplicy. 1082 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 5: Ellen, is it not the affected period rather than it's 1083 00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 5: not over the life of the whole own it's just 1084 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 5: that period when the information is incorrect, Minister Simpson, No, 1085 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,360 Speaker 5: who was right? Sadly this highlights a lack of understanding. 1086 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 5: The interviewer was right and the Minister was wrong. 1087 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 2: Just have that put on the record, right, Thanks, That's right. 1088 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 2: It turns out I do know one thing about one 1089 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 2: very technical thing, which is a piece of legislation that 1090 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 2: may be retrospectively what I know. You're not interested, but hey, 1091 00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 2: listen by the way, if you are interested in this, 1092 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,319 Speaker 2: because this is important. What is going on here is 1093 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,400 Speaker 2: that the government is passing some legislation Scotsimson obviously passing 1094 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 2: some legislation that will probably stop a case a class action. 1095 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,719 Speaker 2: The class action is being taken against two banks A 1096 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 2: and Z and ASB because A, n Z and ASB 1097 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,080 Speaker 2: stuffed up some things and they owe people in this country. 1098 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,240 Speaker 2: They haven't actually ruined your life, but they have broken 1099 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 2: the rules and so they are obliged to pay these 1100 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 2: fines and the class actions coming after them for the fines. 1101 00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 2: Government's going, let's help the let's help those Aussie banks 1102 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 2: out and stop the class action by passing the law. 1103 00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 2: And it's really weird and people people sort of people 1104 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,839 Speaker 2: can't quite understand why the government wants to do this, 1105 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,320 Speaker 2: because that law was there for a reason. But anyway, 1106 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,879 Speaker 2: Yesterda at the Select Committee, the new development on it 1107 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 2: is that the plaintiffs have offered a settlement to the 1108 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 2: banks of three hundred million dollars or thereabouts and the 1109 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 2: banks have called a distunt and declined. Ever dopers Now, 1110 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:23,520 Speaker 2: I am pretty hot on having the social media band 1111 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 2: for kids under the age of sixteen because it's rotting 1112 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,000 Speaker 2: their brains and I think it is. It is one 1113 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,359 Speaker 2: of the worst things that we're doing to them at 1114 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 2: the moment. One of the strongest arguments against that is 1115 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 2: that it is impossible to ban kids from that. You 1116 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,840 Speaker 2: cannot ban people from stuff on the Internet because you 1117 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 2: cannot verify ages. Well, actually you can, and this has 1118 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,760 Speaker 2: been around for a long time. Reddit is now doing 1119 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,879 Speaker 2: it in the UK because what's happened in the UK 1120 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,359 Speaker 2: is they have passed the law. They now require websites 1121 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 2: showing mature content like pawn or whatever to verify ages 1122 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,080 Speaker 2: of people before people can look at it. So Reddit 1123 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 2: has employed a third party. This group is co Persona, 1124 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,840 Speaker 2: and Persona is going to do the age checking for them. Basically, 1125 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 2: if you want to use Reddit in the UK, you 1126 00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 2: go online, it sends you to Persona. You then show 1127 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 2: Persona your selfie or a photo of your government ID 1128 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 2: like passport or driver's license or whatever, and Persona then 1129 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 2: goes yep, absolutely, Glenn is over the age of eighteen. 1130 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 2: Glenn can look at the stuff Bengo. Then you go 1131 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 2: back to Reddit. You've got the token verifying you as 1132 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 2: being an adult, and you can use Reddit. Reddit never 1133 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 2: gets to see your photo. They never get to hold 1134 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,839 Speaker 2: it because obviously there are security concerns around like Bozo's 1135 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 2: around Bozos, like Facebook having your details and then getting 1136 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 2: hacked by somebody. Persona the third party only keeps it 1137 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,919 Speaker 2: for about seven days and then they get rid of it. 1138 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,280 Speaker 2: But you are verified, your on recorders having been verified, 1139 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,840 Speaker 2: and that is how you do it. It is totally plausible, 1140 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 2: it is possible, and we can do it in this 1141 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 2: country if. 1142 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 7: We want to or even easier, just ban it completely 1143 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 7: so nobody has it. 1144 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,839 Speaker 2: That's why he doesn't write the laws. Ten away from eight, 1145 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:00,680 Speaker 2: do you for see. 1146 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: Allen on the mic Husking Breakfast with the land Rover, 1147 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 1: Discovery News Togs dead By. 1148 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 2: Can you find out why the bank bill case is retrospective? 1149 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 2: I don't understand the rationale for that, and I will 1150 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 2: refer you to the text from Connell here that the 1151 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 2: fines are ridiculously punitive. The banks found the error of themselves. 1152 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 2: They're compensated customers without any regulator involvement. That's why they 1153 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 2: just think it's too harsh. Six away from ete now 1154 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,399 Speaker 2: there are reports from across the Tasman that Roger Tui 1155 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 2: Vasashek is on the verge of signing with Rugby's new 1156 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,480 Speaker 2: Rebel three sixty R three sixty competition. The deal is 1157 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,719 Speaker 2: said to be worth around a million dollars that is 1158 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 2: double what he's currently earning at the Warriors. Joining us 1159 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 2: now is for mer Keiwei's captain Richie Barnett, Richie. 1160 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 3: Good morning, good morning, Eric. 1161 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:43,600 Speaker 2: I mean, if you can double your income, it's a 1162 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 2: slam dunk, isn't it? 1163 00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 17: Mad not too, wouldn't they yeah, thank complexity and of 1164 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:52,480 Speaker 17: course the opportunities now for players to move even when 1165 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 17: they're contract that actually to get some I guess some 1166 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,439 Speaker 17: benefit now and depending what age they are, they've got 1167 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,959 Speaker 17: options now to consider. 1168 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 2: How much of a three toes this to the NRL, 1169 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 2: because there are about four players at least who have 1170 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 2: been approached apparently. 1171 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 17: Massive, it's huge. It's something that they've always had to 1172 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,239 Speaker 17: contend with. You look at Joseph Mona, you look at 1173 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 17: Joseph Sale who's playing for the Australian rugby union team 1174 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,400 Speaker 17: at the moment. So there's always been there. It's been 1175 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 17: there for a long while. But the money and the 1176 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,919 Speaker 17: consortiums that are coming up now it's just too big 1177 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 17: a pull of money to say no to. And it's 1178 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 17: another challenge that they face and always has bill and 1179 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 17: they always will. 1180 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 2: Why do you think the Saudis are coming after rugby 1181 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 2: league players rather than rugby union players. 1182 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 17: I guess it's profile. You know that the profile of 1183 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 17: players is extraordinary. And if you look at Roger and 1184 00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,640 Speaker 17: you look at Joseph Sale and you look at they're 1185 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 17: also targeting the soft of Solomona. He's a rugby background 1186 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,439 Speaker 17: as well, so they're targeting people they've got a name, 1187 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 17: but also they've also played rugby, which majority of my 1188 00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 17: cross code is anyway, So the opportunity to go and 1189 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 17: play with a branded name who's been around is going 1190 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 17: to be It's going to be interesting and challenging for 1191 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 17: the NRL, that's for sure. 1192 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 2: Do you reckon that any of these players would be 1193 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 2: put off by the fact that it's Saudi money. 1194 00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 17: I don't think so. Personally, I don't think so. I 1195 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 17: know that's been branded around with Live golf and so 1196 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 17: on where that money is actually coming from. But I 1197 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,840 Speaker 17: think ultimately they make their own decision and money talks, 1198 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,320 Speaker 17: I guess, yeah, hope as much as you can say 1199 00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 17: and go through all and be mindful of it all. 1200 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 17: I think money talks, and it's a big it's a 1201 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 17: big poor. 1202 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 2: Hey I am. I'm kind of into this idea. I 1203 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 2: don't mind them doing a rebel league. 1204 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,880 Speaker 17: What about you a ruble league. We had it with 1205 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 17: Super League with the NRL and it's it worked for 1206 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 17: a little while, but it's were and the same with 1207 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 17: the golf. It's the same thing where it's pulling apart 1208 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 17: international footy club football, so you're draining resources from New 1209 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 17: Zealand and Australia, and that means it's going to impact 1210 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 17: what's happening in this country as well. I know financially, 1211 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,000 Speaker 17: the news rugby union are under pressure, the game's falling 1212 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 17: away from innovation in the eyes over the game. So 1213 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 17: this is going to have a massive impact on what 1214 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 17: that could look like in the next year or so. 1215 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,680 Speaker 2: Richie, good to talk to you. Enjoy your morning, Richie 1216 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 2: Barnett for mc keewis captain. Do you know what I 1217 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,280 Speaker 2: would be into this if the Saudi's changed rugby rules? Right, 1218 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 2: so they take rugby and then just change some of 1219 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,600 Speaker 2: the things that are really irritating to us, like the scrum. 1220 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 2: Just get rid of the scrum. Why are we doing that? 1221 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 2: I know rugby players love it, the rest of us 1222 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,520 Speaker 2: looking at it. Go it's just a weird thing that 1223 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:36,480 Speaker 2: you're doing. Anyway, This is lockey, Lockie Hayes.

He finds 1234 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 2: a lot of inspiration from Bob Dylan, which you can 1235 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 2: actually hear in his music. He's got out his sophomore album. 1236 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,920 Speaker 2: It's called sub Satellite. It's a mix of old country, 1237 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,000 Speaker 2: blues and soul.

Oh man, I've got to 1241 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,280 Speaker 2: talk to you about Delaney Davidson. How did you find 1242 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 2: working with him? 1243 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 15: Oh? Delaney is like he's a mixture of an enigma 1244 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 15: and a chameleon, and you can't always tell if he's 1245 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 15: joking or not. But it was a hell of an 1246 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 15: experience anyway. I learned a lot. 1247 01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,400 Speaker 2: Did you learn a lot from him? Because he is 1248 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 2: I mean, he makes some beautiful music, doesn't he. 1249 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 15: Yeah, he's really incredible to watch work. You can sort 1250 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 15: of see he's got this calculating way of hearing the 1251 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 15: music and you can almost get the sense that there's 1252 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 15: these cogs turning in his head every second of the 1253 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 15: day thinking about it. And then he will go in 1254 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 15: the studio do some things, make some noises, and you'll 1255 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 15: think what is he doing? And then when he plays 1256 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 15: it back to you, you're like, oh wow, how did 1257 01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 15: you hear that in your head before you before you 1258 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 15: went in the studio. It's incredible. 1259 01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 2: Where were you based? Are you based in Vicargo? 1260 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,640 Speaker 15: I'm actually based in a small town out of in 1261 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 15: the Cargo called Wyndham. I'm a school teacher here and yeah, 1262 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,400 Speaker 15: so so yeah, some of the some of the morning 1263 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 15: chat has been interesting to me. 1264 01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,080 Speaker 2: But yeah, well do you want to wear all the 1265 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 2: open playing classes? 1266 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 15: Then I don't know if I want to weigh in 1267 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 15: on it too much. Yeah, tell me the. 1268 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 2: Reason I ask you? Asked you where you're based? As 1269 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 2: obviously Delaney comes from Littleton, right, They've got a fantastic 1270 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,600 Speaker 2: little country music scene going on there. 1271 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 15: What about Wyndham, Well, Whindom's pretty close to Gore, So 1272 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 15: country music's pretty big around these parts, to be honest. 1273 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 15: It's one of those It's a strange thing because country 1274 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:22,760 Speaker 15: music was very much the music of my grandparents' generation, 1275 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 15: and then popular music came along. My parents' generation was 1276 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 15: more into popular music. But the young people now, and 1277 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,680 Speaker 15: a lot of the students I see coming up through school, 1278 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 15: are just mad about country music. It seems to be 1279 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 15: the biggest thing. I really can't put my finger on it, 1280 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 15: but I guess when you're living in rural New Zealand 1281 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 15: and your aspirations are to drive directors, and the really 1282 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 15: America and the country music would speak to you. 1283 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 2: But you know, I mean, I would agree with you, 1284 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 2: and I think you're onto something. But I would agree 1285 01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 2: with you that if it was just a country thing. 1286 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 2: But it's not just a country thing, is it. I mean, 1287 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 2: city kids are loving it as well. Is it maybe 1288 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 2: that we've got over the vacuousness of pop music and 1289 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 2: we're looking for something a little bit more deep and layered. 1290 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 15: Well, I would sure hope so, to be honest with you, 1291 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,280 Speaker 15: that I would think that would be that would be 1292 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,439 Speaker 15: a gift from God if we could get over any 1293 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,120 Speaker 15: vacuous kind of popular music setting. I do know that 1294 01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 15: kids don't care as much about the chats anymore. That 1295 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 15: seems to be something that I notice they seem to 1296 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 15: just pick up on what their friends listen to, what 1297 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,160 Speaker 15: their parents listen to, what they've heard on a movie, 1298 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,440 Speaker 15: what they've heard somewhere else where. As it used to be, 1299 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,560 Speaker 15: you could say, what's number one in the chats? Now, 1300 01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 15: you know, we all used to listen to top forty 1301 01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,840 Speaker 15: and wait to hear the number one. They don't seem 1302 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,040 Speaker 15: to care so much about that anymore. So perhaps you're. 1303 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,520 Speaker 2: Right the age of Spotify, Lockie where once you? Because 1304 01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,040 Speaker 2: I mean the thing about radio versus Spotify, obviously is 1305 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,120 Speaker 2: radio gives you what it thinks you should hear, but 1306 01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 2: Spotify gives you more of what you already like.

But 1404 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,280 Speaker 15: I think now nowadays people give you a bit of 1405 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 15: a sideways eye if you if you're dragging your kids 1406 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:27,600 Speaker 15: everywhere like that. 1407 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 2: Okay, I want to ask you. I've been thinking the 1408 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:31,639 Speaker 2: last few days. Have you heard of this band called 1409 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 2: the Velvet Sundown. 1410 01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,240 Speaker 15: The Velvet Sundown is somebody mentioned this to me the 1411 01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,040 Speaker 15: other day. I still I've never heard them. 1412 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,840 Speaker 2: They Okay, so they're actually not a band. They're AI 1413 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:44,040 Speaker 2: and they do music that's a little bit sort of 1414 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,400 Speaker 2: nineteen seventies folk. Well, I mean, obviously they'll be like 1415 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 2: a musical director, there'll be a human behind it. But 1416 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 2: they do nineteen seventies folk music, it wouldn't. It's a 1417 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:55,599 Speaker 2: bit CCR, you know, bit credence. And what I'm finding 1418 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,960 Speaker 2: really weird about it is that I don't hate it. 1419 01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 2: I actually kind of like it. Should I be ashamed 1420 01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,280 Speaker 2: of myself? Do you worry about the AI? 1421 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 15: I don't really worry about it too much. I did. 1422 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 15: I think I read an article about them.

They steal sort of wesections from other 1427 01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 15: songs and turn it into something new. I mean, if 1428 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 15: I were to stick my neck out and say that 1429 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 15: people using AI technology is just awful, you know, how 1430 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 15: far back do I have to go before I'm then going, Well, 1431 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 15: I'm stealing music from basically from America, from a long 1432 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,679 Speaker 15: and rich lineage in history that I have nothing. 1433 01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 8: To do with. 1434 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 15: So how far back am I going to go before 1435 01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:49,880 Speaker 15: I have to look at myself and go Yeah?

I'm comforting myself with the idea 1438 01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 2: that AI cannot be creative, right, AI just takes what 1439 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 2: we're already doing and then replicate it, kind of a 1440 01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 2: copy of it. Whereas if you really want something completely 1441 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,920 Speaker 2: different and never been done before, it's only a human 1442 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:06,720 Speaker 2: that can come up with that. 1443 01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:10,880 Speaker 15: A Well, yeah, AO is not actually alive, you know, 1444 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 15: we sort of we talk about it as this living thing, 1445 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,720 Speaker 15: but it's it's just a language model and and a 1446 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:17,840 Speaker 15: little computer, isn't it. 1447 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, By the way, what do you teach? 1448 01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 15: I'm actually a primary school teacher.

Rod 1491 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 2: Little will talk us through that when he's with us shortly. 1492 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,760 Speaker 2: I've got to get you across this. Eight twenty five. 1493 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 2: There is a spat that is, there is a spat 1494 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 2: that is happening at the moment about campbell A bacter. 1495 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,639 Speaker 2: So what's happened is that our dear friend Michael Baker 1496 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,759 Speaker 2: is part of a group called the Public Health Communications Center, 1497 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,320 Speaker 2: and they have released some figures today showing that that 1498 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 2: too many of us are getting sick with a Campbella bactor, 1499 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 2: which is what you find in the chicken, right, It's 1500 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,240 Speaker 2: often in the chicken. And the number of us who've 1501 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,920 Speaker 2: got infected in the last seventeen years has gone up 1502 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 2: by seventy percent, which they say is not good because 1503 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:25,320 Speaker 2: they think the government is it fault for being complacent 1504 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 2: about Kampbella bacta. The Ministry for Primary Industries has hit 1505 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,920 Speaker 2: back at them, not happy at all, is accusing the 1506 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,000 Speaker 2: researchers of scare mongering and says that the figures are 1507 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,920 Speaker 2: not nearly as bad as what the researchers say they 1508 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,960 Speaker 2: are now regardless, I don't know, I mean you predominantly, 1509 01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,599 Speaker 2: I don't know. Can you tell the difference between CAMPBELLA 1510 01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,519 Speaker 2: bactor and salmonella unless they're testing your poop? You probably can't. 1511 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,639 Speaker 2: And don't you just kind of write it out? Who knows? 1512 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:53,040 Speaker 2: It's probably worse than they think it is. However, can 1513 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,200 Speaker 2: I tell you this. I once was at a Christmas 1514 01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,280 Speaker 2: party back in Wellington when I was young and used 1515 01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 2: to go to parties all the time. I went to 1516 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 2: this Christmas party and Michael Baker was there and I 1517 01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 2: got chatting to Michael Baker about it and I the 1518 01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,160 Speaker 2: one piece of never mind COVID. The one thing that 1519 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,719 Speaker 2: Michael Baker has told me which has changed my life 1520 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,280 Speaker 2: is that if you want to avoid getting cambeller back to, 1521 01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:15,760 Speaker 2: what you need to do when you get your chicken 1522 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,920 Speaker 2: into the house from the supermarket is chuck it in 1523 01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,680 Speaker 2: the freezer. So before you do not cook your chicken raw, 1524 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,280 Speaker 2: chuck it in the freezer. Freeze it to death, because 1525 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:26,120 Speaker 2: you're basically freezing the bacteria to death, well kind of 1526 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 2: most of them, and then you whip it out. Then 1527 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,599 Speaker 2: you don't have a problem with the Campler bactor anymore. 1528 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,559 Speaker 2: And you can always stuff it up because there will 1529 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,400 Speaker 2: be a little bit left in there somewhere. But there's 1530 01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,400 Speaker 2: a tip for how to avoid being one of those 1531 01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:38,679 Speaker 2: people who ends up in hospital. And just how brilliant 1532 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:40,760 Speaker 2: is it that we're having fights about science again? It's 1533 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,720 Speaker 2: a bit triggering, isn't it. Anyway? As I said, Rod 1534 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 2: Little with us shortly, News DOGSZB. 1535 01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:57,000 Speaker 3: The only report you need to start your day. 1536 01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,320 Speaker 1: Heather duper c Allen on the MIC, asking breakfast with 1537 01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:04,400 Speaker 1: the land Rover discovery, never stop discovering news togs deadv. 1538 01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 2: Lord As if it's even possible. There are more allegations 1539 01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,280 Speaker 2: against Mark Latham over in Australia. I'll run you through 1540 01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 2: those shortly. Hither what's this? 1541 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:11,560 Speaker 4: Just? 1542 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 2: In USA? Wholesale rates remain stable? Now, what were you 1543 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 2: saying about Trump's beautiful tariffs lead? The TDS spin begin 1544 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 2: actually actually interesting. I'm going to come back to that 1545 01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 2: because not everyone thinks that he's losing the tariff war. 1546 01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 2: Twenty two away from. 1547 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:29,519 Speaker 1: Nine, International Correspondence with ends in eye insurance, peace of 1548 01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 1549 01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,759 Speaker 2: Rod Little is our UK correspondent higher Rod, Hey, good morning, 1550 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,000 Speaker 2: ha that okay. What's been the reaction to the news 1551 01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:38,639 Speaker 2: of this Afghan rey location scheme. 1552 01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 12: Absolute apoplexy on the part of the press, which in 1553 01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:47,640 Speaker 12: any case hates superinjunctions. It's reasonable enough, you know, we 1554 01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:51,240 Speaker 12: don't like superinjunctions when they apply to the celebrities. When 1555 01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:55,479 Speaker 12: it's applied by the government to important information, then it 1556 01:15:55,640 --> 01:16:00,479 Speaker 12: infuriates us. There's been a degree of apoplexy from re Form, 1557 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:05,280 Speaker 12: the party which has no skin in the game. But 1558 01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:08,360 Speaker 12: of course politically it's been quite quiet because both Labor 1559 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,680 Speaker 12: and the Conservatives coped some of the blame for this. 1560 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,360 Speaker 12: What I think most people are questioning is to what 1561 01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:18,680 Speaker 12: degree was this thing made secret because they feared for 1562 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 12: the lives of the Afghan people who would due to 1563 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:26,519 Speaker 12: come here, And to what degree was it to keep 1564 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 12: it well away from the eyes of the public who 1565 01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 12: would be infuriated that one hundred thousand Afghan refugees would 1566 01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 12: be coming here. 1567 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so right, good question. I mean, obviously, the cost 1568 01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 2: of it is enormous. It's about seven billion pounds. Have 1569 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 2: you guys better. Yeah, have you have you affected it in? 1570 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:43,760 Speaker 2: Can you pay for it? 1571 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:44,240 Speaker 6: No? 1572 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 12: We can't pay for anything though, so it doesn't really matter. 1573 01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:52,720 Speaker 12: I mean, you know it's this this economy is it 1574 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:57,600 Speaker 12: looks a bit like Argentina about five years ago. No, 1575 01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 12: we can't afford to pay for it, and no we 1576 01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 12: want one hundred thousand Dafghans. It isn't really true that 1577 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,040 Speaker 12: one hundred thousand Dafghans helped the Brits out when we 1578 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 12: were over in Afghanistani. It seems stretching it to me. 1579 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,800 Speaker 12: You could win a war with one hundred thousand people 1580 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 12: and we of course lost too, right. 1581 01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:16,679 Speaker 2: I mean, how many of them have actually come over 1582 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 2: so far? 1583 01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 12: I think it's something like eighteen thousand, and with another 1584 01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,560 Speaker 12: twenty three thousand more due to come. I don't know 1585 01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 12: if that's another twenty three thousand on top or if 1586 01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,599 Speaker 12: it's another five thousand, if you see what I mean? Yes, 1587 01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 12: but are there are many? Yeah. 1588 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 2: To answer the question as to whether it was to 1589 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,599 Speaker 2: protect their lives or to keep it from the public, 1590 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 2: the fact is that the Taliban have said they've always 1591 01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,800 Speaker 2: had the Killlesston they're working their way through it, so 1592 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:44,920 Speaker 2: presumably it was to keep it a secret from the 1593 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 2: British text Bayer. 1594 01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 12: Presumably that's the answer. Yes, and that's certainly where I'm going. 1595 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,400 Speaker 12: And I mean various MPs of both parties have come 1596 01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,800 Speaker 12: out and said, no, Heaven for fed Nothing could be 1597 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,600 Speaker 12: further from the truth, whether it be John Eedy for 1598 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 12: Labor or Ben Wallace for the Conservatives. But no, it's 1599 01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,559 Speaker 12: it's It came at a time, you know, twenty twenty 1600 01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 12: three when we were sick to death of being lied 1601 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:12,120 Speaker 12: to by the government. And here's another example of it. 1602 01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,800 Speaker 2: You know, now, do we know why that school put 1603 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 2: that girl in it well, got her in trouble for 1604 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:18,440 Speaker 2: the Union jet dress. 1605 01:18:18,680 --> 01:18:22,080 Speaker 12: Yes we do. They were having a celebrate culture day, 1606 01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 12: but the only cultures we were allowed to celebrate were 1607 01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,200 Speaker 12: those which were British. She didn't know that. She went 1608 01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:32,080 Speaker 12: along in a Union jet dress and prepared a lovely 1609 01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:38,040 Speaker 12: little inclusive speech about British values and caring for everybody 1610 01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:41,200 Speaker 12: and so on, and was immediately segregated and sent to 1611 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,639 Speaker 12: sit in reception because she was told it's for other cultures, 1612 01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 12: not for Britain. This has enraged the country. It is 1613 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 12: a perfect example of what's happening in schools up and 1614 01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 12: down out country, which is a loathing for Britain, for 1615 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 12: its past, for any identity, cas with Britain, and eulogizing 1616 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:06,840 Speaker 12: of all all incomers, no matter where they're from. And 1617 01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 12: it's running very, very heavily over here. The school has apologized, 1618 01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,760 Speaker 12: it says, it's apologized unreservedly and it's trying to work 1619 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 12: out how we might have handled things differently, But they 1620 01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 12: still haven't sacked whoever it was who segregated this little girl, 1621 01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,640 Speaker 12: and we wouldn't have heard about it, and if her 1622 01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,120 Speaker 12: father hadn't gone on Facebook and told us all about it. 1623 01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,360 Speaker 2: Rod, it is good to talk to you. Thank you 1624 01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 2: for your time, You have yourself a lovely evening and 1625 01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 2: we'll talk to you in soon. That's Rod Rod Little, 1626 01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 2: our UK correspondent, writing, let's talk about what's going on 1627 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 2: with the Trump tariff. So there's a piece in the 1628 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal which makes the point that actually, forget 1629 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 2: about calling Donald Trump names like tarco. You know, Trump 1630 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,960 Speaker 2: always chickens out. Actually he is not losing the trade war. 1631 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,840 Speaker 2: We're all hung up apparently wrongly, says the Wall Street Journal, 1632 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 2: on the fact that there aren't that many deals right, 1633 01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,080 Speaker 2: because what we seem to have seem to have fallen 1634 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,519 Speaker 2: into the illusion that why Trump is putting the tariffs 1635 01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 2: on is because he wants to force countries into striking 1636 01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,120 Speaker 2: deals to get around the tariffs. That's not at all 1637 01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:11,760 Speaker 2: what he's up to. Apparently, what he is doing is 1638 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,240 Speaker 2: he just wants tariffs for the sake of tariffs. Quote. 1639 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,760 Speaker 2: He has been clear and single minded about his goal. 1640 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,880 Speaker 2: He wants tariffs. The higher the better, whether that has 1641 01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 2: achieved unilaterally or via deals as secondary. And the point 1642 01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,240 Speaker 2: they make is he's been saying this since the nineteen eighties, 1643 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,679 Speaker 2: which he has in June. Loans is the Wall Street 1644 01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:32,000 Speaker 2: Journal Treasury collected twenty seven billion US dollars and customs revenue, 1645 01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,439 Speaker 2: up twenty billion from a year earlier, a pace that 1646 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,840 Speaker 2: would imply two hundred and forty billion more a year. 1647 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:42,120 Speaker 2: That isn't enough to eliminate most families income taxes. Trump 1648 01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 2: wants promise, but it can still play pay for plenty 1649 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 2: of other priorities.

You don't simply ride it 1653 01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 2: out like other bugs. I've got salmonella nearly thirty years 1654 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 2: ago while I was living in a student flat where 1655 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,840 Speaker 2: a chopping board hadn't been cleaned properly. After having raw 1656 01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,679 Speaker 2: chicken cut on it. The salmonella state of my system 1657 01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 2: for four months, I was extremely sick, and second the 1658 01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,120 Speaker 2: after effects lasted for about fifteen years. I've overcooked my 1659 01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 2: chicken ever since. Well, it's probably smart. Well, you can 1660 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 2: also just stick it. Well, I wouldn't. I'm not a 1661 01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:23,240 Speaker 2: doctor or a scientist, so you know, probably ask ai, 1662 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,960 Speaker 2: but you could consider sticking it in the freezer as well. 1663 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:29,600 Speaker 7: I got salmoneller on my honeymoon, did you Yes? And 1664 01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:34,960 Speaker 7: I wish that it had killed me. It was not pleasant. 1665 01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:38,120 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest. Since you clean, your wife probably 1666 01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,639 Speaker 2: wished it it killed you as well. Having to deal 1667 01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:43,360 Speaker 2: with you in that state. Lord above thirteen away from 1668 01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:48,439 Speaker 2: nine Mark Latham, however, crap, you're weakers. It's a lot 1669 01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 2: better than Mark Latham's week. And I do use the 1670 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,920 Speaker 2: word crap quite deliberately because if you've been following the story, 1671 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:57,600 Speaker 2: that's part of it, isn't it. He's now accused, not 1672 01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:01,680 Speaker 2: only of everything else, which is the pooing and the 1673 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 2: bullying and the harassment and the intimidation and the driving 1674 01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,880 Speaker 2: the car and the girlfriend. He is now also accused 1675 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,320 Speaker 2: of hooking up with her on the desk of his 1676 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 2: office in New South Wales Parliament and going to full base, 1677 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,760 Speaker 2: whatever that base is, and then filming it on video 1678 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,439 Speaker 2: as well. This is not illegal obviously to do whatever 1679 01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 2: you want in your office if it's consensual, but it's 1680 01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,400 Speaker 2: not being painted. It's being painted as not appropriate. To 1681 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,240 Speaker 2: suppose we could all say he hasn't denied this outright, 1682 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,560 Speaker 2: by the way, so he's made it sound like that 1683 01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,200 Speaker 2: very much to get up to this. Also, he has 1684 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,280 Speaker 2: been accused of sending her dirty texts while he was 1685 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,800 Speaker 2: sitting in parliament. He confirmed that he did do it. 1686 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,799 Speaker 2: He says the reason he did it was because, quote, 1687 01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:47,040 Speaker 2: sitting there listening to Penny Sharp droning on and then 1688 01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 2: a woman who looks like Natalie Matthews sends you a 1689 01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,560 Speaker 2: message which one would you pay attention to of the 1690 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 2: other more niche things that he's accused of doing with her, 1691 01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 2: He denies some of it, but he does say she 1692 01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:02,040 Speaker 2: actually in instigated a lot of it. He says, the 1693 01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 2: big news is that I had a private life. I 1694 01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 2: had a sex life that I've got to say was fantastic. 1695 01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 2: Now another detail, which I think is relevant to this case, 1696 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:13,840 Speaker 2: because we're going to find out more and more, is 1697 01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 2: that she, Natalie Matthews, is taking the private case against 1698 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:19,679 Speaker 2: him because she went to the police and the police 1699 01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't charge him, right, so she decided to go privately 1700 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 2: against him. But also she's taking a private case against 1701 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 2: her ex husband as well, for calling her two hundred 1702 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,960 Speaker 2: times between April and June this year, which she said 1703 01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,560 Speaker 2: left her feeling shaken and scared. So she's going to 1704 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,400 Speaker 2: go later this month to court and deal with the 1705 01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,040 Speaker 2: private case against the husband, and then a week later 1706 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 2: she's going to be taking private case against her former lover, 1707 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:46,200 Speaker 2: Mark Latham. Also also in unrelated but slightly related news, 1708 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,479 Speaker 2: he could lose. This is Mark Latham. He could lose 1709 01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,320 Speaker 2: his place in the new South Wales Parliament because he's 1710 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:55,200 Speaker 2: facing a defamation case and if that defamation case bankrupts him, 1711 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 2: then he gets kicked out of the parliament. So keep 1712 01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:00,040 Speaker 2: an eye on that because that is every time the 1713 01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 2: allegations aren't bad enough. When he opens his mouth and 1714 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 2: talks about it. He just sort of makes it slightly worse, 1715 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:08,840 Speaker 2: doesn't he by just the choice of words. He had 1716 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,240 Speaker 2: a fantastic sex life. Yay, Well, how do I pronounce 1717 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:16,840 Speaker 2: this chap's name? Please? Sam, this footballer? You mean Lamin Yama. 1718 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,360 Speaker 2: I've got it right, That's fantastic because I'm not a 1719 01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 2: huge I don't have a huge knowledge. I mean, I'm 1720 01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,360 Speaker 2: great when it comes to very technical retrospective law when 1721 01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:27,439 Speaker 2: it comes to banking. But you get me on what 1722 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,960 Speaker 2: the Barcelona star is called, and I have no idea anyway. 1723 01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,720 Speaker 2: Lamina marl is in trouble. Lamina marl Is. 1724 01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:33,560 Speaker 11: I do know. 1725 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,200 Speaker 2: He's a superstar and he's very very young. He's just 1726 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 2: turned eighteen years old, and so he threw himself as 1727 01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,600 Speaker 2: you do an eighteenth birthday party. But because he's got 1728 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:43,519 Speaker 2: loads of money, he didn't do it himself, and he 1729 01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,160 Speaker 2: got the organizers in and the organizers went absolutely gangbusters. 1730 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 2: They just went mental on what they were going to 1731 01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 2: do for his eighteenth birthday party. He is now under 1732 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:55,880 Speaker 2: investigation because they hired people with dwarfism, and if you're 1733 01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:58,880 Speaker 2: going to hire people with dwarfism in Spain, if this 1734 01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 2: is what you're thinking of doing for your party, solely 1735 01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,720 Speaker 2: for the purposes of entertainment and attractions, you will be 1736 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:06,479 Speaker 2: breaking Spanish law. You're not allowed to do it. So 1737 01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,719 Speaker 2: he's in trouble for that. Ten Away from nine. 1738 01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:12,519 Speaker 1: Heather duper c Allen on the mic asking Breakfast with 1739 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,639 Speaker 1: a Vida Retirement Communities News dogs head. 1740 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:18,559 Speaker 2: Be Heather, that's absolutely nuts. The people with dwarfism must 1741 01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 2: have been available for him to have hired them. So 1742 01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't people with dwarfism also be up on a charge 1743 01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 2: because if they had made themselves available, he wouldn't have 1744 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 2: been able to hire them. I reluctant to get involved 1745 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 2: in this conversation. I feel like, having drawn it to 1746 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,600 Speaker 2: your attention, I'm on the precipice of potentially getting in 1747 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,360 Speaker 2: a lot of trouble here, do you know what I mean? 1748 01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 2: Like you can sort of talk about it, and then 1749 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:42,559 Speaker 2: you could talk about it to the point where you're 1750 01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,840 Speaker 2: in trouble. But I don't know who it is. It 1751 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 2: is a somewhat consensual relationship, Will I will take your 1752 01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:52,360 Speaker 2: point there, but remember there are other consensual relationships that 1753 01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:56,720 Speaker 2: we have punished before. Prostitution, for example, one party got 1754 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,160 Speaker 2: punished in the other knot and that and that was consensual. 1755 01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 2: So anyway, maybe the Spanish have just taken the kind 1756 01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 2: of that theory to another level. But I take your 1757 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,000 Speaker 2: point six away from. 1758 01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:10,320 Speaker 3: Nine Trending Now Warehouse your home of winter essentials. 1759 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,479 Speaker 2: Okay, this clip is going viral from Fox.

On the grounds of Bellemoral, 1800 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 2: there are pyramids hidden in the woods. Apparently Queen Victoria 1801 01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 2: had a real ponchanp for the pyramids, and she built 1802 01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 2: them to commemorate various milestones in her in her life 1803 01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,559 Speaker 2: life and people that she lost. She built the first one, 1804 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 2: which is more of a can really to celebrate the 1805 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 2: fact that she'd actually had They got their hands on 1806 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,280 Speaker 2: the Bow Moral estate. I think Albert had bought it 1807 01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:11,679 Speaker 2: for her, and so she was like, oh, that's lovely, 1808 01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:13,519 Speaker 2: let's build a pyramid. So they did. They built a 1809 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,000 Speaker 2: little one, and then she built them to mark the 1810 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:19,200 Speaker 2: marriages of her one thy five hundred children, and then 1811 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,559 Speaker 2: she built one to mark the death of Prince Albert 1812 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 2: in eighteen sixties. And that one is the biggest one. 1813 01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:28,479 Speaker 2: It is eleven meters high, which is a testament to 1814 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:30,280 Speaker 2: the fact that she loved the man very deeply, but 1815 01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,400 Speaker 2: also quite an odd thing to do. So I don't 1816 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,479 Speaker 2: know is there a rule. There may be a rule 1817 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,519 Speaker 2: that in the UK you're allowed to sort of wander 1818 01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 2: around on people's estates or something like that. And I 1819 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:41,920 Speaker 2: don't know if you're allowed to wander around on a 1820 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 2: royal estate. But if you are and you find yourselves 1821 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 2: around and you find yourself in that part of the world, 1822 01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,800 Speaker 2: go have a look at the pyramids, because they have 1823 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 2: pyramids and bew morals. 1824 01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,160 Speaker 7: And also presumably she would have had to get the 1825 01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:57,880 Speaker 7: aliens and to build them. But I guess smaller aliens 1826 01:28:58,880 --> 01:28:59,879 Speaker 7: in the original aliens. 1827 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, some of the aliens were obviously not very good, 1828 01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 2: because the first Ken does look it's not a it's 1829 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 2: something it's like, it's not an architectural masterpiece. But later on, 1830 01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:11,880 Speaker 2: by the time she got to the death of Albert, 1831 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:13,479 Speaker 2: those aliens were doing fantastic jobs. 1832 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 7: Thinks I hope she wasn't exploiting. 1833 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:17,639 Speaker 6: Aliens. 1834 01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,040 Speaker 2: Stop it, we're heading down the Greek path again. All right, 1835 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 2: you enjoy yourself, have a lovely day. I'm going to 1836 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,160 Speaker 2: be with you tomorrow, and then Mike is back on Monday. 1837 01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:28,320 Speaker 2: So if you have been bottling up your desire to 1838 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,639 Speaker 2: see Mike, you willbear.
