1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Pressing the newsmakers to get the real story. It's Heather 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: duper Cllen Drive with One New Zealand to coverage like 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: no one else. 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: News Talks EV. 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 3: Afternoon. 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 4: Welcome to the show coming up today, the Infrastructure Commission 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 4: on the mass of thirty year plan out today, the 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 4: Department of Internal Affairs on that illegal gambling at Polymarket 9 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 4: and Neon has lost the White Lotus in succession, and 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 4: a whole bunch of stuff in that HBO deal. We'll 11 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 4: have a chat to the CEO, Sophie Maloney after six. 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 4: Heather duper c l It's some fascinating data about how 13 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 4: we've changed in the last sixty years. Look at the 14 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 4: birth data from Stats today, and especially the age at 15 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 4: which mums are having babies. So last year fourteen percent 16 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 4: of births were to mums younger than twenty five fourteen percent. 17 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 4: In nineteen ninety five, which is one generation ago, it 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 4: was double that, it was twenty eight percent of births 19 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 4: to mums under twenty five, and in nineteen sixty, which 20 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 4: is two generations ago, it was forty six percent of births, 21 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 4: nearly half of the births to mum's under twenty five. 22 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 4: There are now more babies born to mums older than 23 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 4: forty than there are to mums younger than twenty five, 24 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 4: and I'm one of those mums. I was counted in 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 4: late last year's data. Last January, I was forty. I 26 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 4: had a baby. Now, in retrospect, I reckon, if I 27 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 4: could do my life again, it would probably have been 28 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 4: better to have my kids about a decade younger. Your 29 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 4: knees at forty are not what your knees were at thirty. 30 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 4: You don't want to run around after them. They want 31 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 4: you to run, but you don't really want to run anymore. 32 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 4: You feel more tired at forty, though, you also realize 33 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 4: the value of time. If I have my kids at 34 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 4: forty and they have their kids at forty, I'm going 35 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 4: to start being a grandmother around the age of eighty, 36 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 4: which means I'm not going to have that long left right, 37 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 4: I'm not going to be able to see my grandkids 38 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 4: get married and have their kids, which is one of 39 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 4: the joys of life. I would imagine leaving it late 40 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 4: means you miss out on a whole bunch of stuff 41 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: that previous generations had. But then, on the other hand, 42 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 4: there are upsides to leaving it a bit later. You're 43 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 4: a better person at forty than you are at thirty. 44 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 4: You're more in control of your emotions, which is a 45 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 4: really big thing to teach your kids. You become a 46 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 4: better parent, I feel like, more importantly, and I reckon 47 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 4: this is why so many mums are leaving it later. 48 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 4: You're more financially secure by your late thirties. You've got 49 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 4: yourself a house, You've paid off a decent chunk of it, 50 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 4: you have an established career. Your partner's income is helpful. 51 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 4: It helps to pay the bills, but you're not dependent 52 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 4: on it in the same way that your grandmother was 53 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 4: on her husband's And I think that's the reason that 54 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 4: the age of mums will not ever go back down again, 55 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 4: because mums are more financially independent than they were two 56 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 4: generations ago, which means that they have choices, and the 57 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 4: choice that they are making is the one you're seeing 58 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 4: in the data. The choices to leave the kids are 59 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 4: a lot later nowadays. 60 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: Heather due to see Ellen. 61 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 4: Little to Paul speronly about this after five. He's fascinating, 62 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 4: He'll have something interesting to say about it. Nine two 63 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 4: nine two is the text number. There is renewed pressure 64 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 4: on the government now to get on with banning the 65 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 4: social media for under sixteens. Now, there's an outfit called 66 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 4: Triple P Positive Parenting which wants New Zealand to follow 67 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 4: Australia's lead. It's bringing together MPs, the Children's Commissioner, educators 68 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 4: experts in Wellington to look at how family can be 69 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 4: supported through any change. Jackie reacts Triple p's New Zealand 70 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: country leading with us. Hi Jackie, Hi, Leah, how are you? 71 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: I'm well, thank you. Do you consider what's happened in 72 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 4: Australia to be a success? 73 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 5: Ah, that's a really good question. I suspect it's probably 74 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 5: too early to say whether it's success success. We're still 75 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 5: you know, watching to see what the outcomes are. But 76 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 5: what I can say is the parents that have used 77 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 5: the Triple P Children's Screens program, because we do collect data, 78 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 5: are consistently reporting improvements in you know, the healthy screen 79 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 5: habits of their kids. They are saying they feel better 80 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 5: about managing the conflict with their kids over screens and 81 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 5: you know, they feel like they're supporting their kids on 82 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 5: my safety. So for those parents that have done that, 83 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 5: they've got to be wins. 84 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: Why would you not like, if you're seeing that data 85 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: come through, why would you not say it's been a success. 86 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: I think we haven't got enough metadata to sort of 87 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 5: say the idea of the ban is ya know. What 88 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 5: I would say is the ban is one thing. What 89 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 5: Australia did do alongside the band was implement some parenting support. 90 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 5: So I'm reporting the data from the parent export, which 91 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 5: is great because I think that's what needs to happen 92 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 5: if there is, I say, a ban in New Zealand. 93 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 5: We need a few things. We need a nice sort 94 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 5: of solution that's got perhaps more than just a silver 95 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 5: bullet of a ban, you know, because actually I just 96 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 5: heard your piece about. 97 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 6: Being a mum. 98 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 5: You're the one day to day that actually has to 99 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 5: deal with the You're not getting it. 100 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 7: You can't have it. 101 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 5: You know that arguments we need to support parents. The 102 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 5: ban in itself isn't going to do that necessarily. 103 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 4: Okay, So what is the support that you guys are 104 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 4: offering parents in Australia. 105 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 8: Yeah. 106 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 5: So what Australia did, and I think this really important 107 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 5: thing is they got in early, so they had some 108 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 5: really good foundational suite of Triple P online programs available 109 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 5: free to parents over the last three years in a 110 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 5: program called the Parenting Education Support Program. So there was 111 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: really good foundation there to build on some more skills 112 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 5: for the parents. It's really specific to children in screens. 113 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 5: So yeah, so that's what they made available. 114 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 9: What we need to do that? 115 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 4: What is okay? What can I Jackie, I'm going to 116 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 4: be so blunt with you right now? What the hell 117 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 4: is wrong with parents nowaday that we need support to 118 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: be able to tell our children, no, you're putting that 119 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 4: screen down, that's enough screen time. Well do you know 120 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 4: what some people can? 121 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 5: And then there's a whole lot of people that just 122 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 5: need to sort of reflect and be able to go, okay, 123 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 5: exactly what you're saying, what are the boundaries for our family? 124 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 5: And I think reflecting on what you were just saying 125 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 5: about some older parents, you know that. You know, I 126 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 5: was an older parent too, and some of the older 127 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 5: parents didn't grow up with a screen in their hands. 128 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: So this is a yeah, but it's not rocket Jackie. 129 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 4: It's not rocket science. Like all it is is we 130 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 4: have rules about kids eating sugar, right, you say, like, no, 131 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 4: you can't have you can't have a piece of cake 132 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: in the morning. Don't be a weirdo. You know that's 133 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: just going to make you a weird kid for the 134 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: rest of the day. But why can we not transfer, Like, 135 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 4: if we can have boundaries on something like that, how 136 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 4: hard is it to simply transfer the boundary to a 137 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 4: piece of technology and we might not have had as kids. 138 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 4: I don't understand, Jackie, I'm asking you a philosophical question, 139 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: absolutely right. I don't understand why parents are such pushovers 140 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six. 141 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's part of it is all this 142 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 5: conflicting information is that you know you're right when need 143 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 5: clear boundaries. Parents need to information about how much time 144 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 5: is too much time? What are the limits for the 145 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 5: developmental ages, and then they need to be informed about 146 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 5: that and to be able to put those have those conversations, 147 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 5: put those limits in place and follow through. And some 148 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 5: people find that extremely hard. Will actually be like, yeah, 149 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 5: that's a piece of cake. I can do that, and 150 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 5: I'll follow through. But I think there are conflicting messages 151 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 5: out there, and lots of people are very worried about 152 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 5: being a bad parent, or you know this notion that 153 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 5: you know, if I perhaps if I seen my child cry, 154 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 5: I might have made a huge mistake. Well, actually no, 155 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 5: kids do need to learn to regulate them emotion. They 156 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 5: might be upset you took it, but actually they'll learn 157 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 5: okay and Mum says no exactly she means. 158 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: No, and then they're lovely after that because they know 159 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 4: the rules. Jackie, it's wonderful to talk to you. Thank 160 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 4: you appreciate it. Jackie Reeck, New Zealand country lead for 161 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 4: Triple P Positive Parenting. Okay, I'm sure I'm going to 162 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 4: get text on that, so come on send them in now. Dogs, 163 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: you know how I feel about the dogs. A person 164 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 4: has been kids, so I'm giving you an update. 165 00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 10: O kay. 166 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: A person has been killed by dogs in Caihu, which 167 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: is in Northland. Sounds like the person was killed in 168 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 4: their own home, which sits on State Highway twelve, and 169 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 4: it sounds like multiple dogs. Are three or four dogs 170 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 4: pitbull like dogs. According to one of the neighbors. Here's 171 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 4: the thing. Dog control in the area was aware of 172 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 4: these dogs, apparently because the neighbor said that the dog 173 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: control had visited the property, had been warned about the dogs, 174 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: had been warned that the dogs were chasing people down 175 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: the road. Apparently there's a bike trail that runs alongside 176 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: the highway, and the dogs often acted aggressively, according to 177 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 4: the neighbor, running towards bikers and tourists something, sometimes forcing 178 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 4: them to turn around. So I think you can connect 179 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: those dots. 180 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: Quarter past four, it's the Heather d Pussy Allen Drive 181 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk. 182 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 4: Zeb Heather, Good afternoon.

I think that there is an inclination to 279 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 4: kind of keep the peace. I think I don't know 280 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,839 Speaker 4: if this may be a thing that happened. Maybe it's 281 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 4: an older mum problem. But you don't want to fight 282 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: with people. You just want to keep the PCs sort 283 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 4: of just like tiptoe around their emotions. I think that's 284 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: what's going on. But yeah, learn very quickly. You just 285 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 4: got to say no, just no, and then they go, oh, okay, 286 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 4: that's not a thing. They adapt really quickly to that. 287 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 4: It's actually not as hard as you think it's going 288 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 4: to be. Now, I'm getting a lot of texts along 289 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 4: these lines, but I said here, they're not sure your 290 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: statement that forty year old mums are better than thirty 291 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 4: year old mums as fact base. What's the evidence to that? 292 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 4: I would have thought one hundred percent if you're just 293 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 4: talking about emotions, surely that is an absolute given that 294 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 4: if you're a mum in your forties and you are 295 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 4: much more in control of yourself, you like yourself more 296 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 4: as a person, surely you're going to be a better 297 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: person in your forties. Like you're a better person in 298 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 4: your forties than you are in your thirties. That makes 299 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 4: you a better parent in your forties than in your thirties. 300 00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 4: What's the evidence? 301 00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 5: Like? 302 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 4: In what world does that not the case? Hit me 303 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: with it, Blair, I'm happy to hear it. 304 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 10: Now. 305 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 4: The isis brides, we need to talk about this. By 306 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 4: the way, it's full twenty six isis brides are trying 307 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 4: to get back to Australia out of Syria. Berg issue there. 308 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 4: Murray Olds is going to run us through that. Shortly 309 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 4: when he's with us, we'll talk a bit about that, 310 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: because I think this is something we all need to 311 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 4: start keeping our eyes on. That's a problem for thirty 312 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 4: years from now. I'll explain later. Also, we've got the 313 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 4: big thirty year plan from the Infrastructure Commission about what 314 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 4: we need to do in terms of our money and 315 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 4: in terms of the infrastructure in this country. What they're 316 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 4: say is like full of advice, right, but that the 317 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 4: headlines are spend less money on roads, spend more money 318 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 4: on hospitals. We have not got enough health spending going 319 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: and it needs to basically double. We need to start 320 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 4: thinking about things like basically congestion charging. We need to 321 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 4: start doing that in order to so that you can 322 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 4: get you can basically get more bang out of your 323 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 4: road rather than having to build another road. Also, what 324 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 4: they're suggesting is a nine dollar toll on the Auckland 325 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: Harbor Bridge as well as a toll on the New Cross, 326 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 4: which is yeah, aspiration. No one's going to pay a 327 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 4: nine dollar toll guys, so good luck with that. They say. 328 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 4: The country spends more of its GDP on infrastructure than 329 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 4: anyone else in the OECD. But gets some of the 330 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 4: worst results, ranking fourth to last and maintaining current assets. Now, 331 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: none of this makes for easy reading.

They got 384 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 4: turned back. Do we know why? 385 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 15: Well, the government will deny it, but it does look 386 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 15: like the women and children were basically blocked and blocked. 387 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 15: You know, the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was on the 388 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 15: ABC this morning, a very extensive interview and you know, 389 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 15: the government will deny it, but it looks like, you know, 390 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 15: the government was saying albanezis saying that, you know the 391 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 15: government will not lift a finger to repatriate these women. 392 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 15: Not so long ago, the government's saying they deserve to 393 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 15: come home. I mean it's a group of eleven women 394 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 15: and twenty three children, many of whom were born there. 395 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 15: And the women, and I think in almost every case 396 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 15: they went there either with or followed husbands from Australia 397 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 15: in most cases who were killed while fighting for ISIS, 398 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 15: so there's no men involved in their life anymore of 399 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 15: them and stuck some of them for six years in 400 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 15: a refugee camp under canvas and tents. Now you know, 401 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 15: they call me a cynic Heather, but I can't believe 402 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 15: for a moment it's not related in some way. The 403 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 15: government position is not related in some way to the 404 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 15: elevation of Angus Taylor and the very hardline rhetoric he 405 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 15: is adopted in terms of immigration and also that of 406 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 15: one nation fall In Hadson howling from the rooftops about 407 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 15: how they know there's bad Muslims everywhere.

He's apparently traveled 411 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 15: to Syria. Excuse me please, he's traveled there and he's 412 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 15: endeavoring to get these women and kill and children out. 413 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 15: The families of the women are saying this afternoon. Look, 414 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 15: it's any matter of time that will be coming home. 415 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 15: The opposition, of course, howling about this, saying there's no 416 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 15: way known they should be allowed back now right, must. 417 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 4: Listen is what is the plan when they come back, 418 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 4: because surely there's going to have to be some extensive 419 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,719 Speaker 4: I don't know what we would call wrap around support 420 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 4: for them and monitoring presumably for years. 421 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 15: Well, don't forget, there's already a cohort that's come home 422 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 15: and exactly that a scenario.

But their dual nationalities, aren't 503 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 4: they so they can go home to somewhere, and they're 504 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 4: going to go home to somewhere. They're going to take 505 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 4: those ideas back home to somewhere. So whether it be 506 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 4: France or Australia or whatever, anyway, that is what's going on. Now, 507 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 4: you got another thirty four going back to Australia. I'll 508 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 4: just point out what the camp's director. This is the 509 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 4: camp is called roj This is what the camp's director 510 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 4: has said. My message is not only to Australia, but 511 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 4: to all countries. Take your citizens, take these children and women. 512 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: And she added that children were growing up surrounded by 513 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 4: dangerous ideas and ideologies in the camp sixteen Away. 514 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: From five Politics with centric credit, check your customers and 515 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: get payments. 516 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 4: Certainty Infrastructure Commission is with us after five o'clock on 517 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 4: the Big thirty year Planets thirteen away from five and 518 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 4: Barri Sooper, Senior Political Correspondence with US high bar. One 519 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 4: of the ideas pitched as a nine dollar toll for 520 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 4: the Auckland Harbor Bridge. That's not going to happen. This 521 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 4: a nonsense. 522 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: It seems a hell of a lot of money. You 523 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 3: consider that a working week somebody coming back and forth 524 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 3: to the city from the north Shore, it'd be almost 525 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 3: one hundred bucks a week. It's a hell of a 526 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 3: lot of. 527 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 4: What do you do if you're that commuter? You just 528 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 4: decided to go on the Ring Road, don't you? 529 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 3: Well, you're doing But then I guess you have to 530 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: weigh that up about how much petrol that's going to 531 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: cost you to go on the Ring Road. 532 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 4: It's probably not nine dollars. Well, then you're sitting there, 533 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 4: so we just clog one road up. 534 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. But it's it's really interesting the you 535 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 3: know they're looking at tolling the existing bridge for as 536 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: well as the new one White to Marter Bridge, and 537 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: if they do both. 538 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: Of course, the old bridge. 539 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 3: Was built in nineteen fifty nine I think, and they 540 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 3: had tolls there for years on that. The tolls started 541 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 3: out at two dollars seventy a day. But that's the 542 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: twenty five cents. It amounts to two dollars seventy. 543 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 4: That's invation adjusted, that's inflation adjusted. 544 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: So I don't know where they get the nine dollars from, 545 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 3: but you know they're that pondering nine dollars. It's a 546 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 3: hell of a lot of money. I don't know how 547 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 3: they're going to do it. But when they told the 548 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 3: bridge early on, at the beginning of it, they paid 549 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: for it really no time at all. By less than 550 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 3: ten years, the bridge had been paid for and they 551 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 3: scrapped the tolls on the bridge. Now bringing them back, 552 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 3: I mean, you have to toll roads. I don't think 553 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: anybody would deny that, because if we want infrastructure that 554 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 3: keeps up to date, you've got to spend money on it. 555 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 3: And where does the money come from. I mean there's 556 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 3: governments and dire straits when it comes to its box 557 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 3: at the moment. 558 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: So well, they can cut some fat out of the 559 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 4: books and then just to keep on saying exactly the 560 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 4: same thing over and over again. Now, what is the 561 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 4: Prime Minister said about the idea from Winston of running 562 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 4: a referendum on the Marty seats. 563 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting because faced questions in Parliament today. Do 564 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 3: you know the first time the abolition of Maori seats 565 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 3: were considered? How long ago do you think they were? 566 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 12: No? 567 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 3: I don't know, eighteen seventy two because they were brought 568 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: in for five years initially and until maury Land claims 569 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 3: were settled and then they would convert to a general 570 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 3: electorate seats, So you know, it's a long time ago. 571 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: This is a battle that's been going on for many years. 572 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 3: So Winston's hardly getting ahead of himself by suggesting or 573 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 3: campaigning on a referendum to get rid of them. But 574 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: in Parliament this afternoon it'd got a cool reception of us, 575 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 3: say from the Prime Minister when Chris Lacksen was asked 576 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 3: for his view about them from the Malori Party's co 577 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: leader Debi Nahiwa Packer. 578 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 16: Here she is, does the Prime Minister support the continued 579 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 16: existence of the Mali electrits? 580 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 17: Well, that is something that we haven't given consideration to. 581 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 16: Does he agree that Marii electriz represent a constitutional recognition 582 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 16: of Tetti or Whitney. 583 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 17: Well, I own saying they've been a feature of the 584 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 17: New Zealand's political system for some time. 585 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 18: But the important thing is. 586 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 17: They have representation with the biggest Maori contingent and cabinet 587 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 17: of any government in recent times. 588 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 2: If the mari. 589 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 19: Seats were worth the feeling, why is it that the 590 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 19: people who preside in the Mara seats have spent less 591 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 19: time in Parliament than somebody who has been overseas for 592 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 19: two undred and six days, and yet spend more time 593 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 19: in Parliament than the Murray Party seats all together. 594 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 17: Well, that is an important question. I think voters on 595 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 17: the Marii electorates have been poorly represented in this parliament. 596 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 3: Not surprisingly, Naruba Paka did object to these statistics that 597 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 3: Winston came out what he was talking about his own. 598 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 3: Of course, I travel abroad, but it is true that 599 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: the Murray Party MPs aren't regular attendees at Parliament and 600 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 3: whether they've represented their electorates is I guess the debate 601 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 3: for those who vote in them. 602 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 4: Okay, the cost of living has come up. 603 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 3: Yep, yes today, We've seen the polls, of course yesterday 604 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: and in recent weeks. The cost of living in the 605 00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 3: economy remain the most the greatest concern for people was 606 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 3: an issue taken up by Labour's Barbarie Edan Edmunds this afternoon, 607 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 3: but she failed to score a hit on her target. 608 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 3: Nikola Willis. 609 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 20: The era of crushing price increases in the economy occurred 610 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 20: during the three years under the last government, where inflation 611 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 20: remained out of target, peaking at seven point three percent. 612 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 20: That era is now over those parties who say the 613 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 20: solution to every problem is to drive up government spending 614 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 20: and borrow risk reawakening the inflation beast. 615 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 21: Has she been advised, with food prices soaring, whether the 616 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 21: Prime Minister can still do his weekly shop for sixty dollars. 617 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 20: Mister speaker. This follows a trend of recent final supplementary 618 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 20: questions from the opposing member in which she gets personal 619 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 20: and nasty and I'm not going to sink to that, meyboy. 620 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: So that didn't go down well. 621 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 4: At all, Barry, thank you very much, appreciate it. Barry Sofa, 622 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 4: Senior political correspondent. Eight away from five. People are already 623 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 4: angry about nine dollar toll. It's not even happening and 624 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 4: people are angry. No effing way am I accepting tolls 625 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 4: on the bridge just because I live on the north Shore. 626 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 4: Why do north Shore residents have to pay tolls to 627 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 4: get to the rest of Auckland but the rest of 628 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,239 Speaker 4: Auckland get away scot free. If you're going to toll 629 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 4: toll everyone, don't just toll a bridge because it happens 630 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 4: to be over a harbor and easy to do. No way, Matthew, 631 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 4: thank you. At our plus six, we're going to have 632 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 4: a chat to Justin ty Umbers, who's of the Road 633 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 4: Carriers Association, because my first inclination on the nine dollar 634 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 4: toll is to go whatever, and I'd like to know 635 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 4: if that's his first inclination as well, his first reaction. Frankly, 636 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 4: my first reaction to much of what's in the Infrastructure 637 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 4: Commissions report is whatever, because how many times have we 638 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 4: been told how much we're in deficit with infrastructure and 639 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 4: yet nothing changes. So my prediction is nothing changes. But anyway, 640 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 4: we've have a chat to them after five. Also, apparently 641 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 4: there is an app called the polymarket app and call 642 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 4: she two separate apps, websites whatever for gambling, and apparently 643 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 4: they're illegal, and the Department of Internal Affairs wants you 644 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 4: to know that they are illegal so they can come 645 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 4: on and talk about how illegal they are. But I 646 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 4: don't know that they are actually going to get rid 647 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 4: of them, which means that if you think about that, 648 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 4: all the Department of Internal Affairs is doing is giving 649 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 4: these illegal apps publicity. But hey, you know who am 650 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 4: I to. We'll chat. It's fascinating, by the way, what 651 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 4: you can bet on anything. We'll chat about this with 652 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 4: the DIA in just a minute. They'll be with us 653 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 4: in twenty minutes. Now, you know that I love drawing 654 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 4: to your attention the latest dumb thing or maybe legit 655 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 4: thing that the young people are encouraging each other to 656 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 4: do on social media. I've got another one for you 657 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 4: from that file. The absolute latest is called dark showering. 658 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 4: So this is the young people's hack to try to 659 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 4: get to sleep. What they do before they go to sleep, 660 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 4: they reckon. They're telling each other, this is what you 661 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 4: have to do, is before you go to sleep. If 662 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 4: you're have in trouble, go into your bathroom and turn 663 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 4: off the light immediately. I go ooh, health and safety risk, 664 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 4: health and safety risk falling on the tiles. But anyway, whatever, 665 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 4: they turn off the light and then they get in 666 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 4: the shower and they have a dark shower, they say, 667 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 4: because what happens is the water feels because it's dark, 668 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 4: so you're not using your you're looking senses, you're seeing sense, 669 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 4: You're just using your hearing sense and your feeling sense, 670 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 4: and so in the dimness, the water feels louder, and 671 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 4: the day's visual clutter fades, and then sleep should come 672 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 4: more easily. Now you'd like me to tell you the 673 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 4: science doesn't back this up. But maybe the science does 674 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 4: actually back this up, because by turning off the light, 675 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 4: you do increase you melatonin, and then of course you 676 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 4: fall asleep more easily if your body is warm rather 677 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 4: than cold. So there may be something to it. But 678 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 4: you may be able to replicate that by getting under 679 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 4: the blanket in the dark, thereby not using all that 680 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 4: water and wasting your money. It also does beg the 681 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 4: question what just happened to the old thing that we 682 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 4: all used to do, which is to get into bed 683 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 4: and read a book. That also, but anyway, whatever dark 684 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 4: showering give it a hern if you feel inclined. Next up, 685 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 4: let's talk about this thirty year plan. 686 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 12: You flu. 687 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 2: Lester truth flue. 688 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 5: Iven in you. 689 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can trust to ask the question, 690 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: get the answers, find the FATA and give the analysis. 691 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: Here the duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand and 692 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: the power of satellite Mobile News Talks evy afternoon. 693 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 4: The Infrastructure Commissions just dropped its thirty year plan and 694 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 4: it's a sobering reality check. It says we need to 695 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 4: cut spending on roads, we need to double spending on hospitals, 696 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 4: Energy needs a big spending boost, and Auckland's Harbor Bridge 697 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 4: may need a nine dollar toll. Jeff Cooper is the 698 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 4: CEO of the Infrastructure Commission with us Hi, Jeff kyoto Hea, 699 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 4: how you doing well? Thank you mate? Explain the thinking 700 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 4: behind a nine dollar toll? 701 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 8: Oh gosh. 702 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 22: Look, we've started really by looking at all of the 703 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 22: different infrastructure services New Zealand's going to need over a 704 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 22: thirty year period. You know, so often we look at 705 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 22: one sector at a time, we come up with lists 706 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 22: of things that we realize we can't afford, and we 707 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 22: have to go back to the drawing board. This is 708 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 22: an effort at looking across all of these sectors and 709 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 22: putting forward a fundable, coordinated portfolio of investments. And out 710 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 22: the back of that clearly is that you know, we 711 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 22: need to stage and phase projects a little bit more 712 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 22: to make sure that we need get a good balance 713 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 22: between services. So if we want to go outside of 714 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 22: that budget, what it ultimately means is that we're going 715 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 22: to need to derive more revenue from the asset base. 716 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 22: And in roading that can look like tolls, it can 717 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 22: look like congestion charging and other such things. And all sectors, 718 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 22: not just land transport, are grappling with these things because 719 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,280 Speaker 22: the financials are tight, and I think New Zealanders. 720 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 4: Know that, do you have any preference as to where 721 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 4: we build our healthcare? 722 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 18: Well, the plan sort of goes through. 723 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 22: I mean, we start by looking at how our demographics 724 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 22: are changing, and under any plausible scenario, we look at 725 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 22: you know, New Zealand is going to need more investment 726 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 22: in health services. We've known this for a while. But 727 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 22: if thing, we're aging faster than we thought we were 728 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 22: going to. So what we've done in the plan is 729 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 22: look at how our aging differs by region and then 730 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 22: establish you know, where services need to follow those population projections. 731 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 4: So it's it probably Auckland, yeah, I. 732 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 22: Mean certainly the areas of large population growth. Yes, But 733 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 22: actually when you look at it is this is something 734 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 22: that you know, of all the services that we look at, 735 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 22: this is one for all of New Zealand actually broad 736 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 22: based aging going on. 737 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 4: Are there parts of the country though, where we are 738 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 4: seeing population declines to the extent that we should actually 739 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 4: stop investing money and infrastructure. 740 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 22: Certainly, when you look at the periphery of many of 741 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 22: the networked infrastructure we have, it's clear that at the 742 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 22: at the ends of the of the network the financials 743 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 22: are most difficult. Now, I don't think for a second 744 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 22: that means that we should stop providing services to those areas, 745 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 22: but what the plan does say is that the network 746 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 22: as a whole needs to be able to fund it. Right, 747 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 22: that you can do cross subsidies, that's fine, But certainly 748 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 22: when we're looking at you know, resilience issues, the balance 749 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 22: between what is making money on the network and what 750 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 22: probably needs money tipped into it is getting harder, and 751 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 22: you know, like local governments at the leading edge of that, 752 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 22: they see that day to day it's getting harder. 753 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 4: Why is it that we spend more money on infrastructure 754 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 4: as a proportion of GDP than anywhere in the developed world, 755 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 4: but we still have this massive deficit in infrastructure I think, I. 756 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 22: Mean, that's it's a very good question on the first one, 757 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 22: and in part the answer to this is the fact 758 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 22: that we are on a very narrow band of land 759 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 22: the bottom of the South Pacific. We're a country of 760 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 22: five and a half million people. We're roughly the same 761 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 22: size as great as Sydney, but we are trying to 762 00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 22: build out infrastructure networks on a parcel of land that 763 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 22: is twenty one times larger. Right, So the geology, the 764 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 22: geography is very difficult, and we have a dispersed population. 765 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 22: That means more pipes, more roads, more transmission lines and 766 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 22: so on, and that costs if you're going to do that, 767 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 22: you know, so there are some things that are baked in. 768 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 22: But of course, you know, on the other side of things, 769 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 22: clearly we need to try and do this in a 770 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 22: way that is more cost efficient than what has been 771 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 22: in the past, because you know, if we need more hospitals, 772 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 22: you know, we can't afford to do them at two 773 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 22: to three billion dollars per facility. We can't afford roads 774 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 22: that are costing four hundred million dollars per kilometers. So 775 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 22: you know, this is why the plan talks to the 776 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 22: urgency of getting resource management right and identifying opportunities to 777 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 22: bring down those costs right. 778 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 4: Jeff Listen, thanks for talking to us about I appreciate it. 779 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 4: Jeff Cooper, Infrastructure Commission CEO. It's coming up to have 780 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 4: past five Hea. 781 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 2: The duplessy Ellen. 782 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 4: That's some fascinating new stats about the age of mums. 783 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,919 Speaker 4: Last year, fourteen percent of birth were to mums younger 784 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 4: than twenty five. In nineteen ninety five, which is a 785 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 4: generation ago, it was twenty eight percent of births to 786 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 4: mums under twenty five, and in nineteen sixty five, two 787 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 4: generations ago, it was nearly half of births. Paul Spoonley 788 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,479 Speaker 4: is a sociologist at Massi University and with us. 789 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 2: HI Paul gid Eather. 790 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 4: I mean, is this simply we're just leaving things later 791 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 4: in life because we want to establish our careers by 792 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 4: our houses, get some money in the bank. 793 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 23: Absolutely. So the age of mother at first birth is 794 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 23: now thirty one and timing and a fun fact for 795 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 23: you related to the figures you've just given, Heather, is 796 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 23: that there are many more children born to women aged 797 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 23: over forty in New Zealand compared to women age twenty 798 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 23: and younger in New Zealand. Isn't that interesting? 799 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 4: I think that is fascinating. Is that a bad thing? 800 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 2: No, it's not. 801 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 23: No, All of transitions are taking longer. So one of 802 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 23: the interesting things I'm looking at at the moment is 803 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 23: the number of children, adult children in their mid to 804 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 23: late twenties who are still living in the family home. 805 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 23: So we're just seeing some of those transitions when you 806 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 23: might move out of the family home, when you might 807 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 23: decide to have children, the jobs that you get, all 808 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 23: of those things are taking longer and occurring later. 809 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 4: Do you think that is a bad thing, Paul, that 810 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 4: parents stall in their sixties have their twenty plus kids 811 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 4: in their house. 812 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 23: No, No, well, I mean it's an increasing fact and 813 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 23: what we're beginning to see as people are changing their 814 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,479 Speaker 23: behavior as a results of that. So we're seeing many 815 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 23: more multigenerational households, so increasing number of households that have 816 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 23: got three generations, and we're just starting to see the 817 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 23: first households with four generations. Because what we need to 818 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 23: remember hither is not only are we having children later, 819 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 23: but we're living much longer. So over the next couple 820 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 23: of decades, the average life expectant to see in New 821 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 23: Zealand will be ninety one. 822 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 4: Wow.

Or is this actually us, like 829 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 4: Native New Zealand as people who've been here for a 830 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 4: few generations also starting to do this. 831 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 2: No, it has, it has. 832 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 23: There are definitely some cultural practices, but no, it has. 833 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 23: We're changing and of course the there are reasons here 834 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 23: and one of them is economic and so the cost 835 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 23: of housing. So how can you how can you utilize 836 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 23: your housing better? So no, No, I think it's a 837 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 23: changing demographic combined with changing behaviors. 838 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 4: Brilliant Paul, Thanks very much, always enjoy talking to you. 839 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 4: Professor Paul Spoonley, Massy University Sociologist, fourteen past five. 840 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 2: Heither do for c Ellen? 841 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 4: I love that I am desperate, desperate to get my 842 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 4: mum to move in with us, constantly try.

So account holders have had a message I 903 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 24: understand that says that they can no longer access their account. 904 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 24: They can still withdraw funds, but they can't use them 905 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 24: to place bets. And the polymarket website appears to be unavailable. 906 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 4: Are you looking at it right now? Am I hearing 907 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 4: you reach over to c if you. 908 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 24: Before I left the office hither I haven't checked it. 909 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 24: And the time it took me to drive home. 910 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,760 Speaker 4: When did they cut us off at some point today? 911 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 24: So it was almost immediate response to our correspondent, that's surprised. 912 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 4: You, because I would have thought that if they I mean, 913 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 4: because really you actually couldn't do very much right, So 914 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 4: I would have thought they would know that and just 915 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 4: be like, nah, come for us. Does it surprise you 916 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 4: actually shut it down? 917 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 24: Obviously, enforcing against these overseas companies is always tricky. The 918 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 24: fact that they aren't arguing the toss about whether or 919 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 24: not the products are gamblings suggests to me that they 920 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 24: know they're playing in a grade space and a lot 921 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 24: of these market yeah, and you know, New Zealand isn't 922 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 24: the biggest market out there. So sometimes what we find, 923 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 24: because we've been taking the same approach when we write 924 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,240 Speaker 24: to betting operators who are operating a breach here, sometimes 925 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 24: the New Zealand market's not really even on their radar. 926 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 4: And so the Vicky, I just I'm on polymarket dot com. 927 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 4: Should I be able to do that? 928 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 24: If you can access the website, that's not a breach, 929 00:44:59,239 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 24: it's the actual place. 930 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 4: Oh I see, So most people should should be able 931 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 4: to go on the website, they just can't actually bet 932 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 4: on it. 933 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:06,359 Speaker 7: Yeah. 934 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 2: OK. 935 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 24: What would require them to do is actually, ye a 936 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 24: block the betting services from these yenders. So I understand 937 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 24: that how she's done that. We're still doing some testing 938 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 24: obviously because it's all happened pretty quickly, but you know, 939 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 24: I'm hoping that Polly Market will follow suit. 940 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 4: Thank you, Vicky, I appreciate it. Vicky Scott, Department of 941 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 4: Internal Affairs, Director of Gambling. Do you want to see 942 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 4: what they're betting on apart from the OCR I thought 943 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 4: I would have thought the OC is an obvious one, like, 944 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 4: what are you betting on? It's a hold tomorrow, isn't 945 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 4: it anything else? Seems like you're wasting your money. Another 946 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 4: bet the US will strike a round by Sunday is 947 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 4: paying eleven dollars eleven. Jeffrey Epstein will be confirmed to 948 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 4: be alive by the end of this year, is paying 949 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 4: eighteen dollars. The next grand theft auto game will cost 950 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 4: more than one hundred dollars. US is paying two hundred dollars, 951 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 4: so that's a good return. Jesus Christ will return by 952 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 4: the end of this year, is only paying twenty seven 953 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 4: Only paying twenty seven dollars doesn't feel like I feel 954 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 4: like the odds are funny on that one. What do 955 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,240 Speaker 4: you think five twenty two. 956 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 1: Cutting through the noise to get the facts? It's Heather 957 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: Dufic Cyllen drive with one New Zealand coverage like no 958 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 1: one else news talks. 959 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 2: They'd be here that you. 960 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 4: Can just use a VPN to get around geo fencing. 961 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 4: Of course you can mark for five twenty five other listen. 962 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,799 Speaker 4: If you love cricket, you should be worried about how 963 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 4: long this T twenty situation is taking to resolve. Right now, 964 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 4: the latest is that The Herald is reporting that there 965 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 4: may be as many as ten Black Caps who are 966 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 4: now going to be asking to get out of the 967 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 4: national contracts so they can go play cricket in overseas 968 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 4: leagues over summer. And this is if there is no 969 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 4: certainty over the n Z twenty starting now. This isn't 970 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 4: altogether a surprise, because if you cast your mind back 971 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 4: to when Trent Bolt first turned down his central contract 972 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 4: three and a half years ago, I told you this 973 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 4: would be a problem, and it has become a problem 974 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 4: because it was obvious money trumps everything and the money 975 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 4: that they're offering in the overseas leagues is better than 976 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 4: the money that New Zealand is currently offering, which brings 977 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 4: us to the n Z twenty competition that is being 978 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 4: currently proposed for New Zealand in January. The agonizing over 979 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 4: whether they should do this or not is just bizarre. 980 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 4: I mean, sure, there are some question marks over how 981 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 4: this will work, like the clash with planned tests being 982 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 4: the most obvious, but surely the n Z twenty has 983 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,640 Speaker 4: to happen, because what is the alternative. The alternative is 984 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 4: what is happening right now. The current T twenty offering, 985 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 4: which is the Super Smash, will not be on television 986 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 4: next year. No one's put their hand up to broadcast it. 987 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 4: Yet domestic one dayers are already not on TV. No 988 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 4: one wants to broadcast them. They have to go to 989 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 4: YouTube to watch them. Surely anything is better than the 990 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 4: state of domestic cricket in this country. Right now, here's 991 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 4: my next prediction for you. If New Zealand Cricket doesn't 992 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,320 Speaker 4: go for this n Z twenty offering or something like 993 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,240 Speaker 4: it to keep black Caps in New Zealand over summer, 994 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 4: the black Caps will keep going over to the other 995 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 4: leagues and only coming back to play tests. And then 996 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,800 Speaker 4: one day they will stop coming back to play tests, 997 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 4: because that is where this future takes us. First, the 998 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 4: central contracts are declined, and then all contracts are declined. 999 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,040 Speaker 2: Heather Doopers the al We're going to talk. 1000 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 4: About euthanasia next, because there's a bit of concern being 1001 00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 4: raised about as push for big changes to euthanasia to 1002 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 4: standby for that on the Neons. So Neon has lost 1003 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,480 Speaker 4: the HBO content, right, so let me start at the beginning. 1004 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,360 Speaker 4: The happy news is that there'll be yet another streaming 1005 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 4: surface that you can pay for and watch content on. 1006 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 4: It will be HBO Max. 1007 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 18: Happy news. 1008 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 4: It's not happy news because already we feel overwhelmed and 1009 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,080 Speaker 4: like we're spending too much money on this. The problem 1010 00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 4: is you were already watching this content. It was on Neon, 1011 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 4: So now Neon's losing all of this content. It's a 1012 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 4: Night of the Seven Kingdoms, Last of Us, House of 1013 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,239 Speaker 4: the Dragon, White Lotus, Euphoria, Succession, True Detective, The Pit 1014 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,719 Speaker 4: and just like that, the new Harry Potter series, the 1015 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 4: DC Universe franchise, and it's going to happen next mid 1016 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 4: this year. Not good news for Sky. They're being brave 1017 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 4: about it. They're probably not going to drop the price 1018 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 4: of Neon. So I don't know. I'm I started off 1019 00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,439 Speaker 4: with it's good news. I'm feeling like it's not good news. 1020 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 4: You're just going to have to pay more. But anyway, 1021 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 4: Sky's CEO Sophie Malone is with us on this. After 1022 00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 4: six news is next. 1023 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 1: Time hard questions strong opinion here the duplicity elland drive 1024 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 1: with one New Zealand and the power of satellite mobile 1025 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: new Doorg said, be you you're taking me? 1026 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 19: How would you name go to the end? 1027 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 4: By the way, on the Sky business, HBO Max has 1028 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 4: not said how much they are going to charge right 1029 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 4: because we've got the new streaming service will have to 1030 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 4: pay for In Australia, they charge between fourteen New Zealand 1031 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 4: dollars and twenty six New Zealand dollars a month. Sky 1032 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 4: TV CEO Sophie Malonia will be with us after six. 1033 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,239 Speaker 4: We've got huddle standing by shortly. It's fourteen rather twenty 1034 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 4: four away from six. Now the old euthanasia debate is 1035 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 4: heating up again because ACT is pushing for changes to 1036 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 4: its End of Life Choice Act. The proposed amendments include 1037 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 4: removing the six month prognosis requirement and then adopting all 1038 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 4: twenty five recommendations from a how ministry review. Ethos Alliance 1039 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 4: chief executive Alex Pink is warning it's going to breach 1040 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 4: human rights and he's with us now. 1041 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 2: Hi, Alex, Hey, how are you hearing? 1042 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:09,319 Speaker 8: Well? 1043 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,320 Speaker 4: Thank you? What are the human rights that you're worried about? 1044 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 25: The key ones here are freedom of conscience, which is 1045 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 25: a really important concept for for doctors or anybody involved 1046 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 25: in the medical profession, which basically means the ability for 1047 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 25: people to preserve their most important beliefs, but things that 1048 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 25: give their life purpose, meaning and identity, the things that 1049 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 25: if they had to go against them, they would feel 1050 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,959 Speaker 25: like they were betraying themselves. And there is a risk 1051 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 25: with ax proposed changes that that's exactly what will happen. 1052 00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 4: Do doctors have to absolutely do this or can they 1053 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 4: opt out of doing it. 1054 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 25: No, no, So at the moment, what the law says 1055 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 25: is that if you're a health practitioner, you don't have 1056 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,280 Speaker 25: to participate in euthanasia if you don't want to, unless 1057 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,440 Speaker 25: you are the doctor caring for a person who asks 1058 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 25: for euthanasia. If you're in that situation and you don't 1059 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 25: want to participate, what you have to do is tell 1060 00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 25: the patient where they can get a replacement doctor who 1061 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 25: will facilitate euthanasia. But what Acts Changes would say is 1062 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 25: that all health practitioners would have to give patients the 1063 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 25: contact details for a euthanasia doctor. And it would also 1064 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 25: start to narrow down the kinds of activities that doctors 1065 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 25: and other health practitioners could be excused from participating in. 1066 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 25: It will basically mean that health practitioners, for example, if 1067 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 25: they were part of a team caring for a patient 1068 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 25: who's going to receive euthanasia, they could have to be 1069 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 25: involved in that way, which at present they don't have 1070 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 25: to be. The other really significant part of the bill 1071 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:31,840 Speaker 25: is that it would actually put new conscience limits on 1072 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 25: care facilities, so that's places like hospice, hospitals, disabilities support facilities, 1073 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 25: basically any place that provides what they call personal care 1074 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:46,760 Speaker 25: services or health services, which is anything like support with hygiene, mobility, showering, 1075 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 25: even the provision of substantial emotional support. And those places 1076 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 25: would have to be prepared to allow euthanasia to take place, 1077 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,280 Speaker 25: even if that goes against the whole reason they exist. 1078 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,279 Speaker 4: How do you feel about the six month month prognosis 1079 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 4: requirement being removed? 1080 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 25: Well, what that would do, I think is open up 1081 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 25: to a whole range of long term conditions and disabilities 1082 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,680 Speaker 25: that aren't covered right now. And this is one of 1083 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 25: those areas where you can write a law and it 1084 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 25: sounds kind of nice and clear and black and white 1085 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 25: on the page, but in real life it doesn't translate 1086 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 25: to that kind of clarity uncertainty. So at the moment, 1087 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 25: you know, you're already asking doctors to do a pretty 1088 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 25: pretty tough task when you say, look, can you predict 1089 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,239 Speaker 25: that this person is going to die in the next 1090 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 25: six months. If you start opening up to conditions that 1091 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 25: are just expected to cause death at some point in 1092 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,800 Speaker 25: the future, you kind of open the box to a 1093 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 25: really wide range of conditions. And if you're a doctor 1094 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 25: at the moment, for example, who says, you know, I 1095 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,720 Speaker 25: can make my peace with euthanasia for end stage cancer, 1096 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 25: saying they might start to feel quite differently about this 1097 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 25: when you start talking about diabetes, frailty, renal failure, and 1098 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 25: all the other kind of conditions that are going. 1099 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 7: To come in. 1100 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,400 Speaker 4: But I mean, for the problem with the most obvious 1101 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 4: problem with the legislation as it is right now, is 1102 00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,400 Speaker 4: that somebody who knows that they have dementia and that 1103 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,320 Speaker 4: it's not far away where they are just going to 1104 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 4: be not themselves anymore, cannot opt out of that, should 1105 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:05,800 Speaker 4: they not be able to. 1106 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 25: I think it's really important that thee that the law 1107 00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,320 Speaker 25: actually says you have to be competent in order to 1108 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,479 Speaker 25: in order to be eligible for aside, there's some pretty 1109 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,360 Speaker 25: obvious risks if we start to give if there's. 1110 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 4: Something that's not what I'm asking about. What I'm saying is, 1111 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 4: if you know that you're getting dementia, or you're getting Alzheimer's, 1112 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 4: or you're getting something that is going whatever it is, 1113 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,279 Speaker 4: that's not necessarily going to kill you in the next 1114 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 4: six months, but as going to really alter your life, 1115 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 4: should you not have the option to end it. 1116 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 25: I think basically, if we start opening up the law 1117 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,839 Speaker 25: to those kinds of situations we really open Pandora's box. 1118 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 25: So there's just an enormous potential for abuse in that 1119 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 25: kind of situation. That's why the law has always been 1120 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 25: very clear and drawing boundaries around this is one of 1121 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 25: the things we were told would be a key safeguard 1122 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,359 Speaker 25: in the law that we have drawing boundaries to say 1123 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,239 Speaker 25: that we can't open the door to that kind of 1124 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 25: situation because too much could go wrong. That's fundamentally what 1125 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,200 Speaker 25: you're talking about there. That is not what Kiwi's voted 1126 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 25: for in the referendum, and x proposed changes are not 1127 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 25: what Key's voted for in the referendum either. 1128 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 4: Okay, Alex, It's good to talk to you, appreciated Alex 1129 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 4: Pink Ethos Alliance Chief Executive twenty away from six. 1130 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty a name 1131 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 1: you can trust locally and globally. 1132 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,879 Speaker 4: On the Huddle of us this evening, Ali Jones read 1133 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,720 Speaker 4: Pr Morris Williams and Auckland Councilor for the National Party Minister. 1134 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 4: Hell are you two? 1135 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:25,319 Speaker 11: Hi? 1136 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 4: Ali? Are you okay with that? 1137 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 3: Well? 1138 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:28,440 Speaker 12: Not? 1139 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 26: I don't agree with Alex Pink I think it. Ex changes, 1140 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:38,319 Speaker 26: as I understand them, won't make anyone do anything they 1141 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 26: can't really do. Now, I mean, I do understand that 1142 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 26: point that you were making. I think was very valid 1143 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 26: that that six months could be six months of a horrendous, 1144 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,240 Speaker 26: revolting time for people, you know, suffering a terminal illness. 1145 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 26: Of course, you can't always be one hundred percent right 1146 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 26: that someone has a terminal illness, but I haven't seen 1147 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,880 Speaker 26: the stats. I think they've probably pretty much on the 1148 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,720 Speaker 26: money these days when they say someone's got a terminal illness, 1149 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 26: And I think to your point too, people should be 1150 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,800 Speaker 26: able to make that choice. I don't see any problems 1151 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,799 Speaker 26: with this, and I support from what I can see 1152 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 26: acts changes. 1153 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 8: Marris, Yeah, totally support it. I'm at the very end 1154 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 8: of this debate. I've just had one hundred and one 1155 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,879 Speaker 8: year old mum die and for most of that years, 1156 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,880 Speaker 8: right up until three or four months before the end, 1157 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 8: perfectly in great condition, totally in control. But in the 1158 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 8: last three months and such pain and agony at work 1159 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,120 Speaker 8: at hospital and pleading with me to find a way 1160 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 8: she could move on. I've seen people, when I was 1161 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 8: in the Health Ministry of a number of people who 1162 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,320 Speaker 8: had completely lost who they were, where they were, and 1163 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,200 Speaker 8: what they were. And I promise you can put it 1164 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 8: on the show and keep the recording if I'm ever 1165 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,400 Speaker 8: in that state, and sometimes a counsel I feel like 1166 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 8: I am, I'd rather shuffle off the planet really quickly. 1167 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,359 Speaker 4: Right if they put you down, Morris will use. 1168 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 2: This thought they'd be as a reference. 1169 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 8: I'm okay with it. I just think it's the perfect 1170 00:55:57,640 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 8: way to go. I think that's a big debate between 1171 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 8: those is with very strict religious beliefs and those of 1172 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 8: us that are more sort of I don't know, not 1173 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 8: that fussed about all the religious stuff anymore. 1174 00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,839 Speaker 4: Well, I think even some people who are fussed about 1175 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,400 Speaker 4: religious stuff are not really that stressed out about this, 1176 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,320 Speaker 4: you know, as it should be, because you're going to 1177 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 4: go meet your maker, which is what you want the 1178 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,319 Speaker 4: whole time, isn't it? Allie? The infrastructure plan. You looked 1179 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 4: at this, you saw how much money had to be spent, 1180 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 4: You saw how little we are spending in the right places, 1181 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 4: and your first reaction was what, Well, my first. 1182 00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 26: Reaction was, who, look, I don't know whether this infrastructure plan. 1183 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 27: Is what we need. 1184 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 26: I obviously haven't read the whole thing framework to deliver 1185 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 26: infrastructure for New Zealand over the next thirty years. But 1186 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,359 Speaker 26: I think we need to know two things. Firstly, why 1187 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,320 Speaker 26: are we so inefficient? I mean, we're spending you know, 1188 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 26: five point eight percent of GDP, We're up there, but 1189 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,400 Speaker 26: our inefficiency is you know, we're right down the bottom. 1190 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 26: So I think we need to find out why we 1191 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 26: are so inefficient. That actually is more important to me 1192 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:55,919 Speaker 26: than signing off. 1193 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 23: Some of the stuff in this report. 1194 00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,239 Speaker 26: And I think the other thing we need when we 1195 00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,359 Speaker 26: hear stuff like we need more hospitals, yeah, of course 1196 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,720 Speaker 26: we do, and we have to invest in our health system, 1197 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 26: but I think we have to look at the health 1198 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 26: system holistically. If we actually address some of the issues 1199 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 26: with primary health, that will stop people having to go 1200 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 26: into hospital. To me, this just seems like a kind 1201 00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,000 Speaker 26: of a let's throw something out of wall and see 1202 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 26: how it sticks and goes along with what most people want. 1203 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:22,880 Speaker 24: It doesn't feel right to me. 1204 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 23: It doesn't feel robust. 1205 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 8: Morris, Well, you do all the planning in the world, 1206 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 8: but it's delivery that matters. I mean, Labor had this 1207 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 8: big plan to build a cycle way across the wide 1208 00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 8: amount of Harbor and they were going to put a 1209 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,960 Speaker 8: light rail down Dominion Road and all sorts of none. 1210 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 2: Of it happened. 1211 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,480 Speaker 8: The problem has too. We've got two serious issues with 1212 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 8: new soil. And first of all, we're not the wealthy 1213 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 8: country we would like to think we are, so we 1214 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,520 Speaker 8: can't afford some of the standards of infrastructure. I just 1215 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 8: meant that the Christmas break can do Bai. They're going 1216 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 8: to be building thirty kilometers of rail in the next 1217 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 8: three years. We couldn't build three kilometers of rail in 1218 00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 8: six or nine years, and we still haven't got it open. 1219 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 8: I think Ali's right the inefficiency. 1220 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:02,960 Speaker 2: Of our delivery. 1221 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 8: You know, we're going to build the International Convention Center 1222 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 8: and happened open in twenty twenty one. It's only just opened. 1223 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 8: And there is a plethora of examples where the budget 1224 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 8: has been more than twice or three times and the 1225 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 8: delivery has been three or four times what was supposed 1226 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 8: to be. And so we're not a wealthy country. And 1227 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 8: the thing that really got to me was Treasury's forecast 1228 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:23,760 Speaker 8: that if we carry on just as we are, this 1229 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 8: is not spending more. The debt of GDPI rat show 1230 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 8: will be two hundred percent to GDP by twenty sixty five. 1231 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 8: That's only a generation from now two hundred and thirty 1232 00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 8: seven thousand dollars debt for every person in the country. 1233 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, massive, isn't it. You're right, we just aren't healthy. Yeah, 1234 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 4: you're totally right, not wealthy enough, all of the stuff. Okay, 1235 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 4: take a break, come back shortly the Huddle. 1236 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 1: Quarter two The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, 1237 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: the only truly global brand. 1238 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,560 Speaker 4: You're back with the Huddle, Morris Williamson and Allie Jones. Morris, 1239 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 4: you see those interesting stats about how many babies are 1240 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 4: now not being born to mums who are under twenty five. 1241 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,440 Speaker 8: I did, and I think they miss the real big 1242 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 8: point here. Those stats suggest that the number of births 1243 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 8: were about the same two generations ago in nineteen sixty 1244 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,960 Speaker 8: five as they are today. But I've got some numbers 1245 00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 8: I just did before we come on the program. The 1246 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 8: female population in New Zealand back in nineteen sixty five 1247 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 8: was one point three. Now it's two point seven. So 1248 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 8: the female population of New Zealand has more than doubled 1249 00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 8: in that time. But we've had about the same number 1250 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,280 Speaker 8: of births. And then when you look at the number 1251 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 8: of twenty five year olds, it was about two point 1252 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,959 Speaker 8: one percent of the female population, and now it's point three. 1253 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:38,880 Speaker 8: What that just suggests is that you know, in the 1254 00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,640 Speaker 8: old day, see I'm old enough to remember all this 1255 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 8: in nineteen sixty five, but you used to get married, 1256 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 8: get pregnant, and then have a baby. Every now and 1257 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 8: then it was get pregnant and get married and have 1258 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 8: a baby, but not not the sort of standard. But 1259 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 8: now it's anything goes, and you can buy the morning 1260 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,920 Speaker 8: after pill whenever you want to, however you like. And 1261 00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 8: so the young women of today have got all sorts 1262 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,320 Speaker 8: of flexibility. And one last thing from ninety sixty five 1263 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 8: you won't believe it, but I promise you can check 1264 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 8: it out. The vast bulk of occupations made women have 1265 01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 8: to quit work if they got married, and it was 1266 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 8: coming next, even the teaching profession, air hostesses, so no 1267 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,439 Speaker 8: wonder it was my only option in life is I'll 1268 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,760 Speaker 8: have babies. And now women have got so many more 1269 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 8: avenues of full time career. Sometimes don't want to have children, 1270 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 8: mostly don't even want to bloke around nowadays, and so 1271 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 8: it's up to them, and good on them, But it's 1272 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 8: a fantastic change happened in only two generations. 1273 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,840 Speaker 4: Yes, that is the remarkable thing, Alie, is how Quicklian's happened, 1274 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 4: just in sixty years lutely. 1275 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 26: I mean I had mine older. I was just over 1276 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 26: thirty one when I had my first, and I was 1277 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,880 Speaker 26: thirty five when I had my second. My mother was 1278 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:54,000 Speaker 26: twenty four, so you know, that was It's incredible. But 1279 01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,200 Speaker 26: I think there's more to it than I do agree 1280 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 26: with what Morris is saying with you know the fact 1281 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,480 Speaker 26: that it was very traditional women stopped work and you 1282 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 26: know all these. 1283 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 23: Things, but I think the stop had to stop work. 1284 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well exactly. But I think of change 1285 01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 26: in traditional roles as well. You know, we've we've got 1286 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 26: women out working, men at home. 1287 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 23: Kids are expensive. 1288 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,800 Speaker 26: Cost of living plays a part in this as well, 1289 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 26: and also something that a girlfriend and I were talking 1290 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 26: about the other day. People having babies older means that 1291 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,880 Speaker 26: grandparents may not be around to help, you know, as 1292 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,520 Speaker 26: much as they did in the past, so you don't 1293 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 26: have that extra help that you'd normally have, so you 1294 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 26: might just settle for one or two instead of three 1295 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 26: or four. But yeah, amazing how that's changed in that 1296 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 26: period of time color. It's expensive though, aren't they expensive? 1297 01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 4: But you know what I reckon if I could have 1298 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 4: changed things, like if I could have had my cake 1299 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 4: and eatn at two, it would have been that I 1300 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 4: would have had my kids about about ten years earlier, 1301 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 4: just so that my mum could see more of what 1302 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 4: they yet up to, and then I can see more 1303 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 4: of what their kids get up to. Don't you think? 1304 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 26: No, you're right, and I remember again discussing this with friends. 1305 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 26: You know, there were so many advantages to having babies early. 1306 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,080 Speaker 26: There's never a perfect i'm financially or whatever, but also 1307 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 26: some really good reasons to have it a bit later. 1308 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 4: But don't leave it too late. No, I agree with 1309 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 4: you too, Heather, Yeah, totally all right.

Seven 1348 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 4: away from six, it's. 1349 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,840 Speaker 1: The Heather Duper c Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1350 01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,520 Speaker 1: my Art Radio powered by News Talk ZB. 1351 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,800 Speaker 4: Heather was so inefficient. This is reinfrastructure because those who 1352 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 4: make decisions on our behalf or so over the top 1353 01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 4: regarding safety. I'd have to agree with that. And hither 1354 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 4: I think the issue is that we accept our horrendous 1355 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 4: productivity as are given. All of us see the inefficiencies daily, 1356 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 4: and none of us can be bothered or empowered to 1357 01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 4: do anything about it. So we just carry on, don't we? 1358 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:16,760 Speaker 4: Just fourteen away from six now, Prime Minister? Has the 1359 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 4: Prime Minister been making up stories again? Reason I ask 1360 01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 4: is because media got onto this yesterday when he announced 1361 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,439 Speaker 4: that the state of o would be coming to Eden Park, 1362 01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 4: he told a really lovely story about how he used 1363 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,600 Speaker 4: to grow up. When he was growing up, rather, he 1364 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 4: used to watch the NRAL clashes. 1365 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 17: For many of us kids like me, we grew up 1366 01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,840 Speaker 17: in the eighties and nineties watching some absolutely fantastic battles 1367 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:43,640 Speaker 17: and mom and dad would let us stay up late 1368 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 17: and watch it, and it was absolutely fantastic. 1369 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 4: Now, the problem is that The State of O was 1370 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 4: not broadcast live in New Zealand until nineteen eighty nine, 1371 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,240 Speaker 4: and given that he was born in nineteen seventy, that 1372 01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,880 Speaker 4: would make him nineteen years old. So I don't know 1373 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 4: about you, but by the time I hit nineteen, I 1374 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,800 Speaker 4: wasn't asking Mummy and Daddy if I could stay up late. 1375 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,560 Speaker 4: In fact, I wasn't even living with Mummy and Daddy. 1376 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,840 Speaker 4: Isn't a flat and if I was, I reckon they 1377 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,840 Speaker 4: would be okay with me staying up till about nine 1378 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,120 Speaker 4: thirty ten or so to watch it play. I don't 1379 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,560 Speaker 4: know anyway, it's not a big deal. It's not a 1380 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 4: big deal. It's just pointing out that how funny memories are, 1381 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 4: aren't they. Like you think you remembered something, You're like, oh, 1382 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,640 Speaker 4: that definitely happened, and then some some cocky little media 1383 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 4: outfit goes and checks when you were born and when 1384 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 4: and it didn't happen. Mate, can't be real, so you 1385 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 4: can have to rethink that memory. That's annoying, isn't it. 1386 01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 4: So if you're Maloney, Sky TV CEO is going to 1387 01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 4: be with us.

We'll thinking about going direct. But also we've 1410 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,120 Speaker 21: shared with our shareholders, particularly at an annual shareholder meeting, 1411 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 21: that the Neon subs where we wanted them to be. 1412 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 21: And also we've been doing a huge amount of work 1413 01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 21: on our entertainment strategy because we want to have a 1414 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,920 Speaker 21: constant drum beat of titles for our customers. 1415 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 4: So no, this is not gutting. 1416 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 21: This is the next phase for us. But you know, 1417 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 21: just for all of your listeners out there, the good 1418 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,840 Speaker 21: news is that they can keep watching the Pit. Season 1419 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,120 Speaker 21: two Eufhouria is coming because we have got that content 1420 01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,720 Speaker 21: until the middle of the year. But what I'm really 1421 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:34,800 Speaker 21: excited about here that is the new content we have 1422 01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:39,320 Speaker 21: coming through Paramount, including Marshalls, a Yellowstone story, and we've 1423 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 21: gottlined Outlander the final season. I just wanted to give 1424 01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,200 Speaker 21: you a sense of the additional content we're going to have. 1425 01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 4: But our customers, if your aim is to have a 1426 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 4: constant drum beat of content arriving. Then doesn't this make 1427 01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 4: it harder? 1428 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,320 Speaker 21: No, in the sense that we've now got we've been 1429 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 21: looking at all of our viewership data and we recognize 1430 01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 21: that actually we need a order slate of content than 1431 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,440 Speaker 21: what we were securing today through the Hbox deal. And 1432 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 21: so that's why I'm referencing some of those titles. You know, 1433 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 21: our biggest title last year by far was Yellowstone, so 1434 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 21: had to have this new deal with Paramount. But also 1435 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 21: hither it means that we can be investing another content 1436 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 21: that makes sense for our business with other studios like 1437 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,760 Speaker 21: Sony and the BBC. So you know what, I think 1438 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 21: it's been well signaled, but as a team, we're really 1439 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:27,760 Speaker 21: excited about what the future holds. 1440 01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,360 Speaker 4: Me now on was that a really expensive contract for you? 1441 01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 21: I mean these are you know, the HBO Max content 1442 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,680 Speaker 21: and it comes with a price tag, and so yes, 1443 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,000 Speaker 21: that all went into the hopper of the discussion, because. 1444 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,840 Speaker 4: The reason I'm asking is then the money that it 1445 01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 4: frees up by losing that you can buy more content 1446 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:47,839 Speaker 4: with the same money than you would have got from 1447 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,679 Speaker 4: these guys. That's right, Okay, are you going to drop 1448 01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 4: the price of Neil No. 1449 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,479 Speaker 21: Because we've got lots of awesome contents coming, and we've 1450 01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 21: still got all of the Hbox contents aller the year. 1451 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 21: As I say, all of those titles are just referenced, 1452 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 21: are coming in March. And you know what, there is 1453 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 21: an excellent Sky original called A Small Town Scandal with 1454 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 21: Tom Sainsbury and Felicity Kendle of Good Life Fame, which 1455 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 21: I would highly recommend to you, Heather and all of 1456 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 21: the listeners. So look, there's a the entertainment world.

By the way, State of O because 1477 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 4: remember it's not SkyTV doesn't just have the Neon play. 1478 01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 4: They've also got the the you know, all the sports 1479 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:12,800 Speaker 4: and stuff like that. So they've got the State of 1480 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,720 Speaker 4: O on sky TV, so there's something to look forward to. 1481 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:15,280 Speaker 15: Now. 1482 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,439 Speaker 4: UK bank bosses are meeting in a couple of days 1483 01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:21,040 Speaker 4: and that what they're going to meet to discuss is 1484 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,400 Speaker 4: setting up in a UK alternative to Visa and MasterCard. 1485 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,920 Speaker 4: And this is which of course are US companies. And 1486 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,679 Speaker 4: this has come about because they're worried that Donald Trump 1487 01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 4: has the ability basically to turn off the payment systems 1488 01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,760 Speaker 4: and we're all super reliant on the Visa and the 1489 01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,440 Speaker 4: master Card. About ninety five percent of UK car transactions 1490 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 4: are made using the payment systems owned by MasterCard and Visa, 1491 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 4: and if it went off, they are saying in the 1492 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,479 Speaker 4: UK would send them back to the nineteen fifties. So 1493 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,840 Speaker 4: they're basically going to get together and discuss fronting the 1494 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 4: costs to set up their own payment system. So keep 1495 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,760 Speaker 4: an eye on that because it's the decoupling, isn't it 1496 01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:58,839 Speaker 4: of the US and basically wider Europe. Twelve past six. 1497 01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Edge The Heather Duplessy Allen Drave Full Show podcast on 1498 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:08,719 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio powered by Newstalks BB Crudging the numbers 1499 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: and getting the results. It's Heather Duplessy Allen on the 1500 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: Business Hour with MAS Insurance and Investments, Your Futures in 1501 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 1: Good Hands, News Talks EDB. 1502 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,439 Speaker 4: Evening Hither I went off me on ages ago. There's 1503 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,799 Speaker 4: absolutely nothing on it and they still run new releases 1504 01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,600 Speaker 4: that were screen possibly three years ago. Michael, thank you. 1505 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,080 Speaker 4: It's called to pass six. Jamie mckaye, Host of the 1506 01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,400 Speaker 4: Countries with US, Hello, Jamie, good. 1507 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:30,639 Speaker 2: Day, Heller. 1508 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 4: Do you reckon? We're going to make it four in 1509 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:32,320 Speaker 4: a row? 1510 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,040 Speaker 12: I hope, So the futures market would indicate that it 1511 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:40,040 Speaker 12: could be four in a row. With the GDT auction tonight, 1512 01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,000 Speaker 12: we've gone up since New Year. Remember we had nine 1513 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:46,360 Speaker 12: falls in a row. To wind out twenty twenty five. 1514 01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 12: We've been up six point three, one point five, and 1515 01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:53,040 Speaker 12: six point seven respectively in the first three auctions. So 1516 01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 12: I guess the question is, is ten dollars back on 1517 01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,920 Speaker 12: the carts ten dollars per kilogram of milk solids. Currently, 1518 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:04,639 Speaker 12: Fonterra is sitting at a midpoint of nine dollars. 1519 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:04,840 Speaker 2: Now. 1520 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:08,160 Speaker 12: The futures markets, for what they're worth, have the current 1521 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 12: season at nine dollars fifty four, and twenty six twenty seven, 1522 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 12: you know, which starts on June one of this year, 1523 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 12: is at a very healthy nine dollars forty. It's not 1524 01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,439 Speaker 12: that long ago that it was sitting at eight dollars. 1525 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 12: So anyhow, my guy from Jarden, Mike McIntyre, says the 1526 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,400 Speaker 12: market tonight could be flat for whole milk powder and 1527 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:34,680 Speaker 12: amf an hydrous milk fat, but skim milk powder is 1528 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 12: a real chance to go up six or seven percent. 1529 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,559 Speaker 12: Butter could go anywhere, he says, So across the board, 1530 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 12: we're looking at maybe two to three percent across the board. 1531 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,639 Speaker 12: So if it's four in a row, it's good news 1532 01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,040 Speaker 12: for the dairy industry very much. 1533 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:48,240 Speaker 8: Said. 1534 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:49,559 Speaker 4: It's looking good for the wall as well. 1535 01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:49,760 Speaker 8: Isn't it. 1536 01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean this is one of the great stories 1537 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 12: of the latter part of twenty twenty five and the 1538 01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 12: early part of this season. Last week's christ Church sale 1539 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:02,639 Speaker 12: strong walland it was up a whopping forty seven cents 1540 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,599 Speaker 12: one hundred percent clearance. The old buyers were going flat out. 1541 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 12: Everything was bid up. And this is worth a dollar. 1542 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 12: That's getting a wee bit high from an exporters point 1543 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,960 Speaker 12: of view, at above US sixty cents. We're looking now 1544 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:22,000 Speaker 12: at a wall price and approaching six hundred cents of 1545 01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 12: kilogram clean for strong cross bred wall could be coming soon. 1546 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 12: That equates to close to five dollars greasy, depending on, 1547 01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 12: of course the yield of the wall. So there's just 1548 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 12: just due to the demise and sheet numbers around the world, Heather, 1549 01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,959 Speaker 12: there's just a global shortage of wal. It's a wonderfully 1550 01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,200 Speaker 12: sustainable product. I don't know why it wasn't hasn't been 1551 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,839 Speaker 12: worth more. But you can go back to the COVID 1552 01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 12: loaws of twenty twenty one and farmers were getting paid 1553 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:52,560 Speaker 12: less than a dollar a kilogram for flee swall. So 1554 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,880 Speaker 12: if they can get if they can get up up 1555 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,240 Speaker 12: to close to five bucks. It's another good news story. 1556 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,120 Speaker 4: Now, do you think the record levels that were we've 1557 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 4: got on the red meat exports are sustainable? 1558 01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 12: Well, I don't know what I think because I'm not 1559 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,559 Speaker 12: really an expert. I did speak to Tom Young out 1560 01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,920 Speaker 12: of AFCO and he says they're not really sustainable at 1561 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:12,960 Speaker 12: the moment. Because one of the big questions out there 1562 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 12: in farming, could red meat, namely lamb at close to 1563 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:21,840 Speaker 12: eleven dollars beat dairy, which is currently sitting at nine 1564 01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:26,320 Speaker 12: dollars if you'd take the fonterra midpoint, could red meat 1565 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,040 Speaker 12: beat dairy for the first time in years? Beef sitting 1566 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,360 Speaker 12: at about nine dollars thirty or forty, so it's currently 1567 01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,240 Speaker 12: above dairy as well. Look what he was saying was 1568 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,400 Speaker 12: that companies are competing hard for stock. We've had all 1569 01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 12: this rain. It goes without saying. We've had a lot 1570 01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:46,800 Speaker 12: of rain around the country and that's meant lots of grass. 1571 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 12: It's been great for the pastoral farmers. Hasn't been so 1572 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 12: good for the poor old arable farmers. But these farmers 1573 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,800 Speaker 12: have got lots of grass. They're going crazy over storestock. 1574 01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:58,400 Speaker 12: This is the stock you buy off someone else to 1575 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 12: fatten or make prime to be politically correct and then 1576 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,479 Speaker 12: send for processing. Now, the companies are really having to 1577 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,760 Speaker 12: compete hard for stock at the moment. There's a lack 1578 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,360 Speaker 12: of throughput because farmers are hanging onto the stock to 1579 01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:15,680 Speaker 12: put more weight onto their lambs, their mutton and their 1580 01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,759 Speaker 12: beef and dairy cows that are going to the works. 1581 01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 12: So the companies are having real issues were through put 1582 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 12: at the moment very hard to keep plants open five 1583 01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,439 Speaker 12: days a week. You know, the numbers did come out 1584 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 12: last week, Heather. They were stunning red meat industry worth 1585 01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:35,679 Speaker 12: eleven point seven billion, a nineteen percent increase on twenty 1586 01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:36,280 Speaker 12: twenty four. 1587 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:38,679 Speaker 4: And stuff will take that money. Jamie, thanks very much, mate. 1588 01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 4: We'll talk to you in a couple of days. It's 1589 01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,639 Speaker 4: Jamie McKay, Host of the Country right now, nineteen past. 1590 01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,599 Speaker 2: Six, Heather dupless Ellen. 1591 01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:46,840 Speaker 4: Goldman Sacks has come out in the last few hours. 1592 01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:50,240 Speaker 4: Goldman Sachs is going to as scrap the DEI criteria 1593 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:53,200 Speaker 4: for its board, so when they go and look for 1594 01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:58,360 Speaker 4: new potential directors, they will no longer consider race, sexual, orientationally, 1595 01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,840 Speaker 4: any other DEI factors. Now, I'm telling you this is 1596 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:02,960 Speaker 4: because yet another you can add that to the list 1597 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:06,040 Speaker 4: of corporates who are now quite clearly and quite publicly 1598 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,200 Speaker 4: moving away from this diversity stuff. And if you know 1599 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:11,000 Speaker 4: how I feel about it, you know I'm happy about 1600 01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 4: that now. If you were listening the other week, I 1601 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,200 Speaker 4: think I might had been. Last week Murray Olds told 1602 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:17,719 Speaker 4: us there was this rumor going around that male's ski jumpers, 1603 01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:18,800 Speaker 4: well maybe it was Oli, it was one of the 1604 01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,640 Speaker 4: boys from Australia anyway, that male ski jumpers in the 1605 01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:26,120 Speaker 4: Winter Olympics were having high luronic acid. I think it's 1606 01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 4: how you pronounce it, hialuronic acid injected into their penises. 1607 01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 4: And the reason they were doing this, The rumor end 1608 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 4: that they were trying to increase the surface area of 1609 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 4: their suits that would basically enable them to jump further. 1610 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 4: It popped up in a German newspaper and then, of course, 1611 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,640 Speaker 4: because it's so ridiculous, everybody looked at it and went, 1612 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,200 Speaker 4: that's ridiculous, and then forgot about it. Turns out it's true. 1613 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,120 Speaker 4: There is an Italian plastic surgeon called Alessandro Littara who 1614 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 4: has confirmed that he does actually inject the stuff into 1615 01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,439 Speaker 4: penises on the regular I think he says he's done 1616 01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:59,400 Speaker 4: something like three thousand penises already. He says he carried 1617 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 4: out the proceed you're on a ski jumper in the 1618 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 4: last month, and the ski jumper told him the reason 1619 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 4: he needed it done because he was because he was 1620 01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:11,320 Speaker 4: experiencing embarrassment in the dressing room after competition. But you 1621 01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:14,320 Speaker 4: decide for yourself. Is it because he was ashamed because 1622 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 4: he could keep his nickers on if he wanted to, 1623 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:17,800 Speaker 4: you know, I mean, that's one way of dealing with 1624 01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:19,920 Speaker 4: the shame. Is it really because he was ashamed? Or 1625 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,640 Speaker 4: is it because he wanted to be able to jump further? Anyway? Alessandro, 1626 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,200 Speaker 4: because you know how Italians are, like famously humble, he 1627 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 4: reckons he did a great job six twenty one. 1628 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:33,599 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro, micro or just plain economics. It's all 1629 01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,439 Speaker 1: on the business hour. We're the head the DUP sur 1630 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:40,759 Speaker 1: and MAS insurance and investments. Your futures in good hands. 1631 01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 1: News talks heavy. 1632 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 4: The situation with if you've been following what's going on 1633 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,360 Speaker 4: today with the Infrastructure Commission report, one of the things 1634 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 4: that came out is that we need to toll the 1635 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,240 Speaker 4: Auckland Harbor Bridge in order to pay for an alternative 1636 01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,000 Speaker 4: crossing and then told that one too, and the toll 1637 01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,120 Speaker 4: would be nine dollars per one way trip. You're dreaming, mate. 1638 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,639 Speaker 4: But the other thing was also we need to cut 1639 01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 4: the spending on roads, which I would say is going 1640 01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 4: to go down like a couple cold sects. Everybody who 1641 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,519 Speaker 4: loves driving on a new road anyway, the people who 1642 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 4: love driving on the new roads the most of course 1643 01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 4: of the Road Carriers Association will get their take on 1644 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:13,519 Speaker 4: this when they are with us. They're going to be 1645 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,400 Speaker 4: with us. Just after the half past news got a 1646 01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,040 Speaker 4: little update for you on the More Points sewerage leak 1647 01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:18,760 Speaker 4: in Wellington. 1648 01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 7: Now. 1649 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 4: The update here is apparently that Wellington Water has underspent 1650 01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:27,720 Speaker 4: its budget for last year by millions of dollars. The 1651 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,400 Speaker 4: Wellington City Council are going to be briefed or it 1652 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,960 Speaker 4: should have been briefed by now on this, because they've 1653 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 4: got a meeting to discuss this on Thursday, and the 1654 01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,560 Speaker 4: papers that they have been given as part of this 1655 01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 4: briefing apparently show the underspend. Now, the question about the underspend, 1656 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,479 Speaker 4: I mean underspending is you know, just because you've been 1657 01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 4: given a budget doesn't mean you should spend it. But 1658 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,200 Speaker 4: if the underspend is related to something that's gone wrong here, 1659 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 4: There'll be serious questions about that. I would have thought. 1660 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:58,000 Speaker 4: Marlon Williams has just put out an email today saying 1661 01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 4: he is going to give up music. He says he's 1662 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,919 Speaker 4: he's been traveling and look if you've seen his documentary, 1663 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:04,680 Speaker 4: because you know, I'm amal and Williams fan, so I 1664 01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,720 Speaker 4: watched the documentary last year, and in the documentary he 1665 01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,639 Speaker 4: talked about the fact that he's just bone tired. He's 1666 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:13,640 Speaker 4: been doing music for twenty years. He's been touring for 1667 01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:15,799 Speaker 4: the longest time, and I think, you know, it's probably 1668 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 4: not obvious to the rest of us. Touring looks like 1669 01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:19,840 Speaker 4: quite a lot of fun. But I think when you're 1670 01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,720 Speaker 4: doing touring all the time, it just becomes a bit rough, 1671 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 4: with the lack of sleep and sleeping on floors and 1672 01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:24,920 Speaker 4: and weird places if you're not sort of you know, 1673 01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 4: at that kind of rolling stones level. Anyway, he says, 1674 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:30,640 Speaker 4: for nearly twenty years, I've explored both the physical and 1675 01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,599 Speaker 4: the musical world in the company of incredible musicians, songwriters 1676 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:35,640 Speaker 4: and friends. It's been an absolute pleasure. He's just put 1677 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 4: out this email. By the way, the catch with it 1678 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:39,400 Speaker 4: is that because it's such a blessing to do what 1679 01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,200 Speaker 4: you love, it can be easy to overlook the toll 1680 01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 4: it can take over time on the body and soul. 1681 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:45,000 Speaker 4: So yes, I'm gonna have a cup of tea and 1682 01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:46,880 Speaker 4: a lie down and maybe get a dog, which is 1683 01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:49,160 Speaker 4: good for him, but sad for those of us who 1684 01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 4: like listening to his music. 1685 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:54,519 Speaker 2: Six twenty six, There's no business like show business. 1686 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:59,240 Speaker 4: Quick, your latest Netflix binge is here. Do you remember 1687 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,640 Speaker 4: when Netflix did deep dive into the Biggest Loser and 1688 01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 4: how problematic it all was. They have just released the 1689 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 4: spiritual sequel to that. It's called Reality Check Inside America's 1690 01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,640 Speaker 4: Next Top Model. Oh it's ruining for you. 1691 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:12,880 Speaker 3: We are rooting for you. 1692 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 8: That was a moment where I realized, Oh my god, 1693 01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,479 Speaker 8: I think we built a monster. 1694 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 4: There was a lot of body We are actually going 1695 01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 4: to switch your ethnicities. 1696 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,040 Speaker 15: Baby Girl, Baby Girl. 1697 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,360 Speaker 4: The show aims to uncover the dark stories behind one 1698 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 4: of the two thousand's biggest reality shows. One of the 1699 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,679 Speaker 4: most shocking revelations was what happened to j Alexander aka 1700 01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,800 Speaker 4: Miss j Miss Jay was the judge who wore all 1701 01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,280 Speaker 4: the tiny bowl cut wegs and pulled crazy Faces, and 1702 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,759 Speaker 4: in the documentary, he revealed that he suffered a stroke 1703 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,880 Speaker 4: a few years back and Tyra Banks never came to 1704 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,320 Speaker 4: see him. Darn't come and visit you. 1705 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:55,519 Speaker 6: No, yeah yet she just sent me as she wants 1706 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:56,360 Speaker 6: to come and visit. 1707 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,680 Speaker 7: Me, but no. 1708 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:00,760 Speaker 2: Day Jack. 1709 01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 4: Now, if you're wondering, well, what happens Tyra Banks, don't worry, 1710 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:08,439 Speaker 4: I've got you. Tyra moved to Sydney, Australia a couple 1711 01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 4: of years ago to open a hot ice cream shop. 1712 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,920 Speaker 4: Yeah you heard that right, a hot ice cream shop. Now, 1713 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 4: if you're wondering what hot ice cream is, don't worry, 1714 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:21,400 Speaker 4: I've got you. The Australian Food Regulator also agrees with that. 1715 01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:24,759 Speaker 4: They've ruled that the product cannot legally be called ice cream, 1716 01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:28,200 Speaker 4: with Banks cleverly changing the name to hot smies cream. 1717 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,680 Speaker 4: The Guardian reviewed this treat. They say it has the 1718 01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 4: consistency of something between milk and melted ice cream, and 1719 01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:40,760 Speaker 4: they also called the taste confrontingly sweet. So I thought 1720 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:42,400 Speaker 4: that there might be some sort of a magic trick 1721 01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,600 Speaker 4: that happens, but no, it would appear that when you 1722 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,720 Speaker 4: heat ice cream, it melts, and that is what they 1723 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 4: serve you so anyway, don't know. Now you're going to 1724 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:54,880 Speaker 4: go and try it because I am too. I also 1725 01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,639 Speaker 4: want to go try it. I know we are weird. 1726 01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:05,960 Speaker 4: Road Carriers Association with US next seat. 1727 01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:11,599 Speaker 1: Sash everything from SMEs to the big corporates, the Business 1728 01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,840 Speaker 1: Hour with the head of Duplicy Allen and Mass Insurance 1729 01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,920 Speaker 1: and Investments. Your futures in good hands us talk send me. 1730 01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:19,760 Speaker 16: Won't you in. 1731 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,439 Speaker 4: Cons Innexus down for a third day in a row 1732 01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,479 Speaker 4: down zero point sixty six percent today, Inda Brady will 1733 01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,479 Speaker 4: bear us out of the UK in ten minutes time. 1734 01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:34,760 Speaker 4: Right now it is twenty four away from seven now. 1735 01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 4: Today's Infrastructure Commission report was not the best news for motorists. 1736 01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,320 Speaker 4: The report recommends cutting our annual spend on roading from 1737 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,559 Speaker 4: one point three percent of GDP down to one percent 1738 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 4: for the next thirty years, and another idea was a 1739 01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,960 Speaker 4: nine dollars each way toll on the Auckland Harbor Bridge 1740 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 4: to pay for a second crossing, which would presumably be 1741 01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,880 Speaker 4: told as well. Justin ty Umbers is the CEO of 1742 01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:56,800 Speaker 4: the National Road Carriers Association and with US Now, Hi, Justin, 1743 01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 4: Hello Heather, how do you feel about a cut in 1744 01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:00,519 Speaker 4: the spending on roads. 1745 01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,560 Speaker 7: Look, I think what the Infrastructure Commission's trying to do 1746 01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 7: is clearly we've got a long laundry list of some 1747 01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,120 Speaker 7: expensive infrastructure, and I think they're signaling its time for 1748 01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:14,240 Speaker 7: an adult conversation in terms of what we're prepared to 1749 01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 7: pay for. But I think it's not just about what 1750 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 7: the cost is in a relationship to GDP. I think 1751 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:23,839 Speaker 7: you also still have to look at what particular investments unlock. 1752 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:27,519 Speaker 7: So what would a second Harbor bridge unlock? What would 1753 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:31,880 Speaker 7: a Northern expressway up to fung Ray, for example, what 1754 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,920 Speaker 7: would that unlock? So you've got to look at the 1755 01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,640 Speaker 7: what it gives not just the economy, but also to 1756 01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 7: lifestyles of New Zealanders as well as part of the equation. 1757 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,760 Speaker 4: So okay, talk me through what would actually effectively be 1758 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:46,759 Speaker 4: a third Harbor cross and what would that unlock. 1759 01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, well that's a very good question. So at the moment, 1760 01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:54,559 Speaker 7: we certainly need it for resilience, that's the main driver. 1761 01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:58,160 Speaker 7: So obviously if our current aging nineteen sixties bridge has 1762 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 7: a moment, we don't want to be left without that 1763 01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:02,920 Speaker 7: crossing there because that would be a massive hit to 1764 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,160 Speaker 7: the economy. So firstly, it's about addressing resilience, It all 1765 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,760 Speaker 7: depends on where they put it where the second harbour 1766 01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 7: crossing is. If it's just another bridge right next to 1767 01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 7: the existing one, then beyond resilience, it's probably not going 1768 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 7: to unlock much because it won't deal to congestion. So 1769 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,800 Speaker 7: we'd like to see it in another location up the harbor. 1770 01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,839 Speaker 7: We also get benefits of congestion reduction and more throughput 1771 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:27,760 Speaker 7: going through the whole motorway network. So again it comes 1772 01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:30,760 Speaker 7: back to smart planning as to what benefit that's going 1773 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:31,120 Speaker 7: to deliver. 1774 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:32,920 Speaker 4: How would you feel about a nine dollar toll? 1775 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 7: I don't know about you, but I had a collective 1776 01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 7: inhale of breath over on the north Shore when that 1777 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,920 Speaker 7: number is floated today, Look what. 1778 01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 4: About the principal justin of paying for something that we 1779 01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 4: have already paid for in order to pay for something else. 1780 01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a very good question. So look, I think 1781 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:56,680 Speaker 7: it's about the reality is we have to pay for infrastructure. 1782 01:24:56,680 --> 01:25:00,840 Speaker 7: We've got to find creative ways to do it. Nine dollars. 1783 01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:02,640 Speaker 7: That number seems to have come from. I think they 1784 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:06,360 Speaker 7: took the nineteen eighty four number and then and then 1785 01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 7: added and flashing through to today. I actually remember being 1786 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 7: in the back seat of my father's Ford Falcon throwing 1787 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:15,800 Speaker 7: the twenty cent piece in the hopper at the toll boots, 1788 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,479 Speaker 7: but I don't remember Dad getting really angry about how 1789 01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 7: much it costs. A nine dollars still seems quite a lot, 1790 01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:25,040 Speaker 7: but I think I think in reality, you know, you've 1791 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:26,680 Speaker 7: got to land that sweet spot and a number that 1792 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,559 Speaker 7: pays for the asset that you're building, but also doesn't 1793 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 7: drive distortions into the economy because these things can affect 1794 01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 7: land prices, where people want to buy, where they want 1795 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 7: to work, So you've got to be really careful. 1796 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean do we I feel like what this 1797 01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 4: is doing is it's seeding an idea, So I don't 1798 01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,200 Speaker 4: expect to see much actually come out of this, but 1799 01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 4: it will seed some ideas that we will get used 1800 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,519 Speaker 4: to and then eventually will become the reality. And will 1801 01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,200 Speaker 4: the reality not actually be in the future that every 1802 01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,680 Speaker 4: single new piece of infrastructure that we drive on we 1803 01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,840 Speaker 4: pay for in atop. 1804 01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,760 Speaker 7: Yes, I think certainly for the bigger state highway, big 1805 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 7: ticket items that's where we're heading and what we want 1806 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:09,360 Speaker 7: from national road carriers is it's really important that the 1807 01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:12,680 Speaker 7: new infrastructure adds to productivity, So poohoy to walk with 1808 01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,920 Speaker 7: it's cut down fifteen minutes. Road freight operators absolutely love 1809 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,200 Speaker 7: it because fifteen minutes doesn't sound like much, but that 1810 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:23,839 Speaker 7: translates into between that and the extension down towards Cambridge, 1811 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:30,240 Speaker 7: that's nearly a billion dollars worth of improvement to the economy. 1812 01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:36,040 Speaker 7: So we're happy to pay for infrastructure that's going to 1813 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 7: deliver those productivity wins, make journey times sure, get goods 1814 01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,280 Speaker 7: out there through the economy more efficiently, and we recognize 1815 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:43,960 Speaker 7: that we're going to have to pay, but you've got 1816 01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,280 Speaker 7: to pay at a reasonable amount that's not just going 1817 01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,200 Speaker 7: to add up to another increasing cost of goods because 1818 01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 7: you and I end up paying for that at the shop. 1819 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,400 Speaker 7: Transport operators don't pay for it, they pass it through 1820 01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:55,840 Speaker 7: to their customers, and you and I pay for it 1821 01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:57,160 Speaker 7: every time we go shopping. 1822 01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 4: And such as life. Justin, thanks very much appreciated. Justin 1823 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,479 Speaker 4: Ti Umbers, executive of the National Road Carriers Association, twenty 1824 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,760 Speaker 4: away from seven for see Alan, I'm kind of a 1825 01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:08,839 Speaker 4: little bit excited about what master Card reckons it did yesterday. 1826 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 4: Master Card reckons that it did the first AI agentic 1827 01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:16,160 Speaker 4: purchase in New Zealand. So basically it got the AI 1828 01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:18,760 Speaker 4: to do something, got the AI to buy some movie 1829 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,120 Speaker 4: tickets and then also make a hotel reservation, and so 1830 01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:23,720 Speaker 4: it was one of those, you know, one of those ones. 1831 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,720 Speaker 4: I'm assuming you type it and you go, AI, can 1832 01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:29,920 Speaker 4: you book me? You know a movie to go and see? 1833 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,120 Speaker 4: I don't know, obviously, just in this movie, I don't 1834 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,280 Speaker 4: know the silky offer and pons and me next week 1835 01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 4: blah blah. Quite I mean, I don't know. The one 1836 01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 4: thing that Okay, there is an obvious problem, which we're 1837 01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 4: going to get to in a second, but the first 1838 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,360 Speaker 4: problem that occurs to me is that it just feels 1839 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,000 Speaker 4: it feels like a fath having to try to explain 1840 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:48,600 Speaker 4: to the AI what to do, because is that not 1841 01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 4: your life if you're married, Like, do you not get 1842 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:52,640 Speaker 4: to the point where you go, hey, could you just 1843 01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:55,559 Speaker 4: don't worry about it how to do it? And it's 1844 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:57,120 Speaker 4: not You're not being a dick, You're just like, don't 1845 01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:58,720 Speaker 4: worry about it, I'll just do it. Because because we 1846 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,320 Speaker 4: realize that by the time you've explained to the other 1847 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,040 Speaker 4: person what you need to have done, you may as 1848 01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 4: well just bloody do it. Yourself, right, And are you 1849 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:06,960 Speaker 4: not going to get to that point where with AI, 1850 01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 4: where you're like, oh, I can't be bothered having to 1851 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:10,040 Speaker 4: input all and you're gonna come back to me with 1852 01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:12,320 Speaker 4: some stupid ideas and you're gonna think I'm gonna watch 1853 01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,000 Speaker 4: a movie in Wellington, but I live in Aukland, you know, 1854 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,720 Speaker 4: and like, I just can't be bothered. I cannot be 1855 01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 4: bothered trying to coordinate AI. But the other thing, which 1856 01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 4: is probably more of it, that's just my own personal gripe. 1857 01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:26,120 Speaker 4: But the other thing that's an actual proper consideration is 1858 01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:27,760 Speaker 4: do you really want to be giving the AI your 1859 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,840 Speaker 4: credit card number? Because I don't know about you, but 1860 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:32,519 Speaker 4: that feels like it's a bit dodgy. So what they've 1861 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,120 Speaker 4: done is that, and they've onto it obviously at MasterCard 1862 01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 4: they realize that's the biggest obstacle, So that is tokenized. 1863 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 4: They are not getting you to give it the credit 1864 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,559 Speaker 4: card details that they're using tokens, and the tokens are 1865 01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 4: linked to your email address and somehow, through that very 1866 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,280 Speaker 4: clever little system, you can buy the tickets without having 1867 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,280 Speaker 4: to give it the credit card details. So maybe I 1868 01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 4: don't know, maybe there is a future there somewhere hither 1869 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:57,080 Speaker 4: Instead of roads, why not invest in high speed rail. 1870 01:28:57,400 --> 01:28:59,920 Speaker 4: Imagine walking to the Wellington station, swiping on in them 1871 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:01,800 Speaker 4: being in aucklandon two and a half hours. I can 1872 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,040 Speaker 4: see that's exciting for Blair to be in aucklandon two 1873 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:05,600 Speaker 4: and a half hours. Less so if everybody else to 1874 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,759 Speaker 4: be in Wellington in two and a half hours. Because 1875 01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,160 Speaker 4: it brings me to the next thing that I want 1876 01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:12,479 Speaker 4: to talk about, which is a piece that has popped 1877 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,919 Speaker 4: up on stuff today asking the question about why Wellington 1878 01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,479 Speaker 4: well not even asking the question, just suggesting flat out 1879 01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,120 Speaker 4: Wellington should no longer be the capital of New Zealand. 1880 01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:23,680 Speaker 4: Now bear with me, because I know it's not going 1881 01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:25,680 Speaker 4: to happen. It's not gonna happen. You know, it's not 1882 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,479 Speaker 4: gonna happen like Wellington's. We're stuck with Wellington until an 1883 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 4: earthquake takes it out. But that is the consideration you have. 1884 01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,320 Speaker 4: This is the capital, with all of the infrastructure of government, 1885 01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 4: and you've got the bee Hive there and all the 1886 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,200 Speaker 4: cabinet ministers and stuff can be taken out by an 1887 01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:42,400 Speaker 4: earthquake just like that. That is the first consideration. The 1888 01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:44,880 Speaker 4: second consideration it is as bloody difficult to get into 1889 01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,240 Speaker 4: Wellington on days like we've had in the last week 1890 01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,680 Speaker 4: while where it's extremely well windy, you couldn't even get 1891 01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:52,120 Speaker 4: the Wellington water boss and his deputy had to be 1892 01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:55,559 Speaker 4: holding the meeting. So this this particular reporter has punted 1893 01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:58,959 Speaker 4: that what it should be is not Wellington but Hamilton. 1894 01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,240 Speaker 4: The reason it should be Hamilton, apparently, is because it's 1895 01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:06,160 Speaker 4: going to overtake Wellington as the third largest city. It's 1896 01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:09,599 Speaker 4: ninety minutes from both Auckland, which is the country's economic center, 1897 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,599 Speaker 4: but also the largest port in the country. It's connected 1898 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,599 Speaker 4: to both and to Wellington by rail. It can grow. 1899 01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:18,400 Speaker 4: This is Hamilton, It's airport can grow. The quake risk 1900 01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 4: is really low and according to stuff what is also 1901 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,360 Speaker 4: very important is that it's not just full of white 1902 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,320 Speaker 4: people like Wellington is. 1903 01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:25,960 Speaker 10: Now. 1904 01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:27,840 Speaker 4: Obviously, as I say, we're not going to be doing this. 1905 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:30,479 Speaker 4: This is just a journo who hasn't got enough work. 1906 01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:31,920 Speaker 4: At the moment, it was a bit bored and thought, 1907 01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:33,920 Speaker 4: you know what, I'm going to come up with it. 1908 01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna put something out there that's a bit nutty. 1909 01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:38,160 Speaker 4: And it is a bit nutty only because we're not 1910 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:39,600 Speaker 4: going to do it, but if you actually look at 1911 01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:44,479 Speaker 4: the arguments, might have been a better place to put 1912 01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,080 Speaker 4: the old capital rather than Wellington back in the day. 1913 01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:48,439 Speaker 4: Sixteen away from seven. 1914 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,280 Speaker 1: Ever, it's to do with money.

She will actually be 1919 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 4: Sydney harsh. But you know we're all coming around to 1920 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,040 Speaker 4: this idea, aren't we.

You couldn't make it up. 1951 01:32:32,680 --> 01:32:36,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, Now, how is the telegraph I see is crowing 1952 01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 4: that the other ones who've basically formed forced Kiah Stama 1953 01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:41,519 Speaker 4: to abandon the plans to cancel the council elections. 1954 01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:42,360 Speaker 12: Is this right? 1955 01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,280 Speaker 18: No, it's Nigel Farage who has done this. So Reform 1956 01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:50,120 Speaker 18: UK put in a legal case against the government the 1957 01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:51,960 Speaker 18: backdrop to all of this, and it does look bad 1958 01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,600 Speaker 18: for Starmar. They wanted to postpone some council elections in 1959 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:58,160 Speaker 18: about thirty areas now they're due to happen in May, 1960 01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:02,160 Speaker 18: and some of these counts are going to be restructured, 1961 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 18: some of them are going to be collapsed and squeezed 1962 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 18: into other council areas. And council leaders were saying, well, 1963 01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,200 Speaker 18: we don't to go through the expense of hosting elections 1964 01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,880 Speaker 18: if this council is not going to exist in eighteen 1965 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:16,280 Speaker 18: months time, and Starmer agreed. Now, the suspicion was he 1966 01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:19,560 Speaker 18: agreed very quickly because the polling is absolutely terrible for 1967 01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,000 Speaker 18: Labor out there at the moment, and he knows that 1968 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:24,800 Speaker 18: if Labor get a pasting in May, he'll be gone 1969 01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:28,400 Speaker 18: in June. So he said, let's postpone these elections then 1970 01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:30,200 Speaker 18: for a couple of years and see what the structure 1971 01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:33,559 Speaker 18: looks like. But ultimately it was Nigel Farage and Reform 1972 01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 18: who put in a legal challenge. It was due to 1973 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:38,800 Speaker 18: go to court this week and the government's lawyer came 1974 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:40,960 Speaker 18: back with the advice saying, you just need to hold 1975 01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,519 Speaker 18: your hands up and abandon these plans because they're actually right. 1976 01:33:44,720 --> 01:33:46,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, quite right. Now, what is up with this eight 1977 01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:48,800 Speaker 4: hundred million dollar payment to the EU. 1978 01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:53,040 Speaker 18: Yes, so Britain famously no longer a member of the 1979 01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:56,879 Speaker 18: European Union. However, Starmer went to the Munich's Security conference 1980 01:33:57,080 --> 01:33:59,400 Speaker 18: and clearly there's a lot of business to be done 1981 01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:02,640 Speaker 18: in uk in terms of an arms fund. So the 1982 01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:04,960 Speaker 18: European Union is looking to put together somewhere in the 1983 01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,639 Speaker 18: region of about five billion dollars worth of an arms 1984 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,600 Speaker 18: fund for basically keeping Ukraine fighting, keeping everything going, and 1985 01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,960 Speaker 18: stopping Russia taking the whole country. And Britain has a 1986 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:18,960 Speaker 18: lot of defense companies. So Brussels is saying to London, yep, 1987 01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,240 Speaker 18: if you want into this fund, you're not part of 1988 01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:24,200 Speaker 18: the European Union. Bi'll have to pay just short of 1989 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,680 Speaker 18: eight hundred million dollars to get access to it, and 1990 01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,760 Speaker 18: then we will start offering you contracts. So yeah, the 1991 01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,760 Speaker 18: kind of thing Britain would not have had to pay 1992 01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 18: for if it had stayed in the European Union. 1993 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:36,519 Speaker 4: Interesting, Linda, thank you as always appreciate it. We'll talk 1994 01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:37,840 Speaker 4: to you in a couple of days. Mate Into Brady 1995 01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:41,840 Speaker 4: UK correspondents Hither, I'm happy to pay a toll on 1996 01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:44,519 Speaker 4: new roads roads, but on the proviso that the roads 1997 01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 4: are built by a foreign company that works twenty four 1998 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,760 Speaker 4: to seven records, not Monday to Friday seven am to 1999 01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:52,640 Speaker 4: three pm, and it has a contracted finished date with 2000 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,240 Speaker 4: penalties for late delivery and over budget. Anything done in 2001 01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 4: New Zealand is overpriced and underdelivered. G's duals. Honestly, if 2002 01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:00,559 Speaker 4: we could get people to just work like a full day, 2003 01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:02,840 Speaker 4: the full shift, I think would all pay a little 2004 01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:06,040 Speaker 4: bit for that, wouldn't we? Nine away from seven It's the. 2005 01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:10,160 Speaker 1: Heather Toop c Allen Drive Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 2006 01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:11,840 Speaker 1: powered by newstalg ZBI. 2007 01:35:13,120 --> 01:35:15,200 Speaker 4: Heather, I know you used to live in North Hamilton, 2008 01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:18,280 Speaker 4: but Hamilton as the capital is the same as the 2009 01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:21,839 Speaker 4: idea that Wales people. It's just ridiculous now, it is ridiculous. 2010 01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:23,439 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, if you're gonna choose it, if you're 2011 01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:25,280 Speaker 4: gonna if you're gonna get rid of Wellington as the capital, 2012 01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:27,280 Speaker 4: and you're gonna name somewhere else as the capital, it 2013 01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:30,240 Speaker 4: would have to be Auckland because because look, I know, 2014 01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:32,559 Speaker 4: don't do that thing. Don't do that thing. We aren't 2015 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:35,559 Speaker 4: there everything. It's because everything should be in Auckland. Because 2016 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:37,920 Speaker 4: actually we have spread way too far and wide across 2017 01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,360 Speaker 4: this country and we should all coalesce in a bunch 2018 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,800 Speaker 4: of centers, and you need one big metropolitan, like one 2019 01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 4: big global city, and then everything else can kind of 2020 01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:48,200 Speaker 4: run off that, and so you may as well just 2021 01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:48,960 Speaker 4: make it the capital. 2022 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:51,320 Speaker 27: I just think though, in that article the justification for 2023 01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:53,120 Speaker 27: moving in out of Wellington was because I will lose 2024 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,839 Speaker 27: government in an earthquake. So when we move the beehive 2025 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:57,680 Speaker 27: all the way up the country to Auckland and it's 2026 01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:01,360 Speaker 27: immediately destroyed in a volcanic eruption, look a lot more 2027 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,759 Speaker 27: sort of. It's the only safe place in the whole country. 2028 01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:06,360 Speaker 4: It's closer to Taupo. If there's gonna be a volcanic eruption, 2029 01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:07,479 Speaker 4: Tawpo's taking it out. 2030 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:09,559 Speaker 27: I think we need to get volcanologists on the show. 2031 01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:13,360 Speaker 4: Speaking of which, actually, do you know what I This 2032 01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:15,719 Speaker 4: popped up on the on one of the news websites 2033 01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:17,439 Speaker 4: yesterday and I thought, yeah, I'm gotta have to talk 2034 01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:19,800 Speaker 4: about that at some stage. It's it's it was an 2035 01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,360 Speaker 4: article about what to pack in your emergency grab and 2036 01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:24,840 Speaker 4: go backs because of all the weather stuff that's going 2037 01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,400 Speaker 4: on at the moment. And it's weird because on Saturday 2038 01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:29,800 Speaker 4: night the husband went to the rugby and so I 2039 01:36:29,880 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 4: had a whiskey and I had to do this, and 2040 01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:33,400 Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, fine, I'm going to finally do it, 2041 01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:36,960 Speaker 4: and I went online and bought a first aid kit 2042 01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:38,680 Speaker 4: for the house, like a proper first aid kit with 2043 01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,200 Speaker 4: all the stuff.

Anyways, 2047 01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:51,120 Speaker 4: I got one of those, and then I also got 2048 01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:53,720 Speaker 4: a grab and go back from some supply that I 2049 01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,320 Speaker 4: by this that was at the end of the the 2050 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:58,759 Speaker 4: end of the whiskey.
