Australia a week 16 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: or so back produced too many jobs. In other words, 17 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: the unemployment rate wasn't as bad as they thought it 18 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: might be, so things were going a little bit better 19 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 2: than many suspected. Fast forward to Tuesday and Michelle Bullock, 20 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: the Adrian Or of Australia said, not only wasn't there 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: going to be a rate cut. There wasn't going to 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: be one for quite some time. Us. The Tasman Samish 23 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: thing happened here yesterday. Four point six is not four 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: point seven. Four point seven was the estimate turned out 25 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: to be not as bad we need bad, really bad 26 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: for the governor to look at cutting currently, like Australia, 27 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: they are not cutting any time soon. So once again 28 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: we have reality, or at least a chunk of reality, 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: coming face to face with theory and anecdote. Now, the anecdote, 30 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: any number of anecdotes, ll tell your life is miserable 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: in the labor market. How many column inches have been 32 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: dedicated this year to work as mainly public servants being 33 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 2: laid off, And yet the number of four point six, 34 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: although not what you would like obviously, is barely catastrophic. Yes, 35 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: inflation is trending down, but not by as much as 36 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: we need. Yes, people are losing their jobs, but not 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: as many as we need. For every person who can 38 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: tell you the story of the closed door, the redundancy, 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: the budget that doesn't quite stretch, the airline ticket that's 40 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: through the roof of council, rate increase that's observed the 41 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: stuff you can no longer do. I can show you 42 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: a governor who can tell you it ain't as bad 43 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: as you think, and certainly not as bad enough to 44 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: call an end to the monetary circus that's been created 45 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: all over the world. We are pawns in a very big, 46 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: very experimental game. And although the US market went mental 47 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,279 Speaker 2: over job numbers, we can all see that their reactionaries 48 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: and the stuff that central banks look at and react 49 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: to is not as emotionally frivolous as what drives investors. 50 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 2: But thirty three thousand people, thirty three thousand people in 51 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: the past year have lost their jobs in this country, 52 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: thirty three thousand real stories and lives affected. But we 53 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: need more, apparently, more misery, more tightening in the great 54 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: debate of how ugly it needs to be for those 55 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: screaming enough Adrian says you're wrong. 56 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: Who news of the world in ninety seconds. 57 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: They're braced in Britain as we speak, as nightfalls. The 58 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: riots aren't over. The jail sentences have started to be 59 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: handed out though under police are our children. 60 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: Rhetoric, whether you're in this country committing crimes on the 61 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 4: streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will 62 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 4: come after you. Being a keyboard warrior does not make 63 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 4: you safe from the law. You can be guilty of 64 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 4: offenses of incitement. 65 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: As regards the yobs who have been put away, one 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 2: they all looked exactly as Rod described, and the other 67 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: day there were four. Now and there is a promise 68 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: and more where that came from. 69 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 5: The three men sentenced today are the tip of the 70 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 5: iceberg and just the start of what will be a 71 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 5: very painful process for many who foolishly chose to involve 72 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 5: themselves in violent unrest. 73 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: Most of it, of course, is illegal. 74 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 6: In a normal protest scenario, there will be an organizer, 75 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 6: they will conduct some form of discussion and engagement with 76 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 6: the police and other agencies, and we will agree routes, locations, numbers, 77 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 6: marches and any restrictions. 78 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: Now none of that is taking place. 79 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: Then into the US, where a couple of things continue 80 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: to unfold. One interny blinking for about the four fourth thousand, 81 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty seventh time, is asking for those 82 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: in the Middle East to take a moment. 83 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 7: Everyone in the region should understand that further attacks only 84 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 7: perpetuate conflict, instability insecurity for. 85 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: Everyone in two old tim from Minnesota. He's taking this 86 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: VP thing with alacrity. 87 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: These guys are creepy and yes, just where it is. 88 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: Hell, violent crime was up under Donald Trump. 89 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 7: That's not even counting the crimes he committed. 90 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: That's quite funny. Jd Vance giving it straight backs. 91 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 8: He was promoting rioters and looters burning down the city 92 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 8: of Minneapolis. 93 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris was helping. 94 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 9: To bail the rioters and looterers out of jail. 95 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 3: A really vicious cycle. 96 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: Finally, world's first, it's claimed luxury dog perfume. This from 97 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: Dolcha Gabana. They're moving into pets. The initial offering is 98 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: called I assume that's him. That's Dolche's dog. By the way, 99 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: I've gone to the website. I went to order it. 100 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: I'm not ashamed to say I went to order it, 101 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 2: but you can't get it into this country. There's shipping restrictions. 102 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to have to go down to the local 103 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: shop apparently. Anyway. Don't judge me. It is an olfactory 104 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: masterpiece featuring langilang musk and creamy undertones of sandalwood. It's 105 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: got a twenty four carrot gold plated pawprint on the 106 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: bottle retails for one hundred and eighty years. Evans us 107 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: the world and forty one of forty three police districts 108 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: they think in for rioting. The worst case scenario are 109 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 2: in for rioting tonight. They've got six thousand riot officers 110 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: on the street. From memory, of course, is about quarter 111 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: past seven at night in Britain and at summer and 112 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 2: night doesn't fall until later, so we'll get the last 113 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: with Rod later twelve Plass six. 114 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 115 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: by News Talk Zippy. 116 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: Please to report they're getting there in Bangladesh, the Nobel 117 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: Peace Prize Wine Mohammed Unis is going to be a 118 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: chief advisor to this interim government. They met with the president, 119 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: they met with the military leaders. In the heads of 120 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: the students, all the protesters, Hassan has gone or as 121 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: Seen has gone. She's scarped. The leaders said they don't 122 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: want anyone from the military. So Uni steps in and 123 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: he's going to lead things. Presumably he's been in Paris 124 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 2: by the way, he's head undergoing a minor operation but 125 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 2: heading back to the country, so presumably things have started 126 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: to settle down a bit, which is good fifteen past 127 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: six weeks in Devin Funds Managements US, I don't get 128 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: a good story for you on that in just a 129 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: couple of months. Devin Fund's management Greg Smith Morning Morning, Mike, 130 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. But four point six, if 131 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: we were looking, I mean, it was touch and go anyway, 132 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: I would have thought that four point six isn't going 133 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: to do it for Adria next week, is it not? 134 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 10: Next week doesn't look like it's so, Yeah, bets have 135 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 10: been rained in there. Yeah, I think sort of October 136 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 10: November is still a possibility in the point of market 137 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 10: is sort of cry crying out for that a little bit, 138 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 10: and just the broader economy. Yeah, four point six per cent, 139 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 10: so it's slightly below expectations of four point seven compares 140 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 10: to three point six percent this time last year, high 141 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 10: since March twenty twenty one, but bang in line with 142 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 10: what the abn ZD was expecting. So I think it's 143 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 10: called expectations for a right cut next week. Numbers one 144 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 10: is bad but also a little bit inconsistent with the 145 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 10: clients and filled jobs and what we're seeing surveys are elsewhere. Now, 146 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 10: these are the labor force numbers which are based on 147 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 10: fifteen thousand household so you do get the sort of 148 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 10: types of discrepancies from time to time. But yeah, markets 149 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 10: are holding to get in terms of employment despite strong 150 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 10: population growth. Interesting subtrends here. 151 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 7: MIC as well. 152 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, the young young people appeared to be bearing the 153 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 10: brunt of the week jobs market that is occurring. So 154 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 10: you look at that unemployment rate for fifteen to nineteen 155 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 10: years that was eight percent, up from five point five 156 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 10: point eight actually, so twenty point seven up from fifteen 157 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 10: point one. And then twenty to twenty four year olds 158 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 10: that was up from five point eight to eight percent, 159 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 10: So you're certainly bearing the brunt there. I've also got underutilizations. 160 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 10: You've got people knowing that are out of work but 161 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 10: that I want to work sort of more hours. That 162 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 10: was up as well, So that rate increased from eleven 163 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 10: point two percent LOUST called eleven point eight percent. On 164 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 10: the other side, wage growth that was actually quite strong 165 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 10: four point three percent. But a lot of this MIC 166 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 10: is being driven by despite the headlines you see, and 167 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 10: well into the public sector, so wage inflation the six 168 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 10: point nine percent annually, but you look at the private 169 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 10: sector MIC that's still weak. Business higher intentions are lower 170 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 10: your job job every time the are down below pre 171 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 10: COVID levels. So I think we still do get that 172 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 10: rate cart and before the end of the year. And 173 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 10: remember we don't have a meeting in December. We don't 174 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 10: have a meeting in January, so you would have to 175 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 10: think Adrian still goes. But yeah, time all to that one. 176 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: I tend to aga at last they're making some money 177 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: in streaming, so Disney will be happy. 178 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 10: Yeah, the house mouse still have been than expected to 179 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 10: call it numbers so over remus up four percent, twenty 180 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 10: three point. 181 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: Two billion dollars. 182 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 10: As you say, they're making money and streaming, they weren't 183 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 10: expected to do so until next quarter. So first time 184 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 10: they turn to profit. There profit increases are helping price increases. 185 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 10: They're helping, you to say, and that's helping profits that 186 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 10: announce further price highs. And that's interesting, isn't it, Because 187 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 10: the streaming market's pretty competitive. But you know, it goes 188 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 10: to I suppose that the great content that Disney provides. 189 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 10: You look at the total subscribers, which includes ESPN Plus 190 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 10: and Hulu, that's two thirty million, so is still around 191 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 10: about fifty million behind Netflix. 192 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 3: They actually said the ad. 193 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 10: Market it picked up as well with respect the ESPN plus, 194 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 10: which was interesting. Story wasn't so great Mike at the 195 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 10: theme so obviously they boomed just immediately after COVID, but 196 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 10: were seeing lower demand. We're seeing inflation biding the operating 197 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 10: income in and that business was down six percent, and 198 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 10: that's interesting given they plan to invest around about sixty 199 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 10: billion dollars in theme parks over the next decade. So 200 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 10: that mean it wasn't such a wonderful day for the 201 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 10: sheer price lower by three percent. Also appear as I 202 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 10: suppose the takeaways there that the travel boomers coming to 203 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 10: an end.

People aren't staying for 207 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 10: as longer. And this is also consistent what we saw 208 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 10: for results from booking dot Com recently.

I think I've got good news 261 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: from China.

The first union spokesperson, 340 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: Justin Wallace, was with us on this justin morning you 341 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: with us, Justin, is this come out in the morning? 342 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 7: It has I mean the members when they had the 343 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 7: meeting the other morning, they sort of caught. They were 344 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 7: sort of had wind that something might be up because 345 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 7: there was some emails going around about some cost saving 346 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 7: measures that were happening on site. But being told on 347 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 7: the morning that there's a potential closure definitely hit them hard. 348 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: When you say on site, do you represent OG or 349 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: the repay who people are both? 350 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 7: No, No, we represent the OG plant as well as it. 351 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 7: Two the other union who represent on that side two see. 352 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 2: The OG seem to have how much of the story 353 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: is purely the power price They can't afford it versus 354 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: the business might not be as good as the one 355 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 2: wherever it is in Malaysia that can take over from them. 356 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 7: Like, the ironic thing about this is that this plant 357 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 7: takes a lot of recycled paper from Auckland and other 358 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 7: parts of the country and turn it into pop and 359 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 7: turn it into paper. Right. The ironic thing about this 360 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 7: is that this place has to close because they can't 361 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 7: tap into reasonable costs, reasonable cost pricing for power of 362 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 7: another renewable resource. So we've got a situation here where 363 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 7: a recycled plant is having to close because they can't 364 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 7: get enough power at the right price to be able 365 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 7: to operate. 366 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 2: Is so you're telling me it's a going concern, it's 367 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 2: a proper business. This is not just an excuse. I mean, 368 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: there's no excuse for the price of power. I get that, 369 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: But this is this is not a business that was 370 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: sort of falling over or struggling anyway. 371 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 12: No. 372 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 7: Well, I mean, you know, it had to renew a resource, right, 373 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 7: it was tapped into the recycling sector like most others. 374 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 7: So yes, okay, it had it had its operation where 375 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 7: she's like most of the businesses have been dealing since, 376 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 7: you know, pre and after COVID. I mean, we're not 377 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 7: We're not making excuses on that. But when the members 378 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 7: are told that, you know, it's the cost of running 379 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 7: is so high now because of the power prices that 380 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 7: they're having to shut down. You know, that was one 381 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 7: of the major factors for that decision. Now we're going 382 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 7: through a process of consultation. There may be an in 383 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 7: game out of it. I hear that there's been some 384 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 7: discussions in central government. I hear that, you know, people 385 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 7: are talking about this, which is great. But the concerning 386 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 7: part about this, Mike, is it's not just the seventy 387 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 7: five childs. It's seventy five families, you know. 388 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I get to see the problem is that. 389 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what the solution is. The 390 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: government looking at bringing an L and G, and they 391 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: might have to do that, will burn some more coal 392 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 2: or something like that. But you can't have a scenario 393 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 2: where a business, a viable business, can't do business because 394 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: somebody else has bugger the economy. 395 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 7: Yeah. But the other point about it, too, Mike, is 396 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 7: it's successive governments. 397 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 6: Right. 398 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 7: I'm not here to point the finger at anyone in 399 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 7: some respects. But the concerning part is is that this 400 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 7: will be potentially the endgame we'll be sending product overseas 401 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 7: to be milled and then brought back in at a 402 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 7: cheaper rate. But what will happen is, in the case 403 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 7: of this plant is seventy five families will have a 404 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 7: bread owner who won't have a job. And they're talking 405 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 7: about people trying to work. They're talking about helping working 406 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 7: class and working people in New Zealand. Well, we need 407 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 7: to start protecting the manufacturing and people's jobs. Like I 408 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 7: said the other day, we can argue as much as 409 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 7: we like about how many row cones are on the road, 410 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 7: but we should be making sure that people have jobs. 411 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,959 Speaker 2: I tend to agree with you justin nice to talk 412 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 2: to you, appreciate it. Justin Wallaceborth's Union, Nichola Willis, we've 413 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: got on on another matter, but I think we'll probably 414 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 2: ditch that side of it because this is more important. 415 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: So the government are looking to bring an LNG. So 416 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: things are reaching a crisis point. I would argue, eighteen 417 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven pass make to the Naki in 418 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: Napier struggling with energy price, Well, I'm assuming all mills 419 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 2: in the country are struggling with exactly the same problem. 420 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 2: I mean, the price of powers, the price of power, 421 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: and if you're doing broadly speaking, the same thing, everyone's 422 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: going to be in the same sort of boat, aren't they. 423 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 2: Why do we listen to Elon Musk? Quick question for you? 424 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: Saw a little podcast yesterday from Tucker Carlson. 425 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 9: Who had amazing So why listen to Elon mask No, 426 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 9: it's no. 427 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: No, no, it's Tucker Carlson was at his neighbor's house. 428 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: His neighbor had been given a cyber truck by Elon 429 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: Musk and they were working through whether or not it could, 430 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: in rural Maine, provide a sort of a replacement for 431 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 2: his Ford f three point fifty. I'll come back to 432 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: that because it's a fascinating story. But Elon Musk is 433 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 2: weighed into the British riot and talked about civil war, 434 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: and Keir Starmer, who should know better, has gone back 435 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: at them instead of ignoring them. The more that Elon 436 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 2: just concentrates on building a half decent car, the better 437 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: off will be. But anyway, I'm looking forward to sort 438 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: of talking to Rod about this in a couple of 439 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 2: hours time. 440 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: Seventeen to two, The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast 441 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio Powered by news Talks. 442 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: EPI numbers within numbers, I will talk more about brad 443 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: Olsen's back with us. This unemployment number yesterday in relationship 444 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: to the Reserve Bank announcement coming next week. But the bulk, 445 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: you realize, the bulk half of all the people have 446 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 2: lost their jobs in the last year in this country. 447 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: Thirty three thousand people have lost their jobs in the 448 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 2: last year. Half of them are kids, basically fifteen to 449 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: nineteen year olds. Unemployment rate in that area in this 450 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: country is twenty one percent. More on that shortly fourteen. 451 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 13: Two international correspondence with ends and eye insurance Peace of 452 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 13: mind for New Zealand business. 453 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 2: Literally John in the morning, Good morning man. Now there's 454 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: tax for new foreign residents. How does that work? 455 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 14: Well, the Maloney cabinet today is doubling, has decided to 456 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 14: double the annual tax on these new tax residents that 457 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 14: are in Italy, the foreigners coming into Italy. It's they're 458 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 14: going to be facing a tax instead of one hundred 459 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 14: thousand a year, two hundred thousand a year. Now, these 460 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 14: are quite wealthy citizens. But this incentive was introduced by 461 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 14: a previous government in twenty seventeen. It was designed to 462 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 14: attract rich foreigners into the country to boost tax income 463 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 14: benefit the economy, and now they're turning around and saying 464 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 14: no more fiscal favors for the rich. 465 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 2: So this is one of those like a golden visa. 466 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 2: If you bring money into the country, or you start 467 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 2: a business, or you employ local people or whatever, you 468 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: can park yourself there. 469 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly, and I think it was quite a positive 470 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 14: move at the time. There's a lot of controversy about 471 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 14: doubling it, but then there's debate to say that these 472 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 14: are the kind of people that can afford to pay this. 473 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 14: The question is are they going after the foreigners when 474 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 14: they should be really going after the Italians? 475 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't it. I mean, it's not a very conservative 476 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: sort of government move. Would have thought they'd be all 477 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 2: pro immigration, but then again they're sort of not pro immigration, 478 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 2: are they still? 479 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 8: Really? 480 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 2: It's like do you want do you want anybody in. 481 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 12: There or not. 482 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 2: Bring in some rich people and make them pay exactly. Now, 483 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: these prison guards flirting Italians flirting with women. I mean, 484 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 2: who would have seen this coming. 485 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 14: This is a bizarre story. As we've talked about, the 486 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 14: Italian government has done a deal with Albania they're building 487 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 14: two offshore migrant centers which are delayed. They're due to 488 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 14: open soon, maybe maybe not, but there are forty five 489 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 14: male guards that have been designated to go to Albania 490 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 14: on August the twentieth, hopefully to open one of these centers. 491 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 14: And they've been given guidelines on how they should behave 492 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 14: and among those guidelines were be careful what you do 493 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 14: with the local women. Don't go pursuing them you might 494 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 14: get yourself into trouble. And avoid nudity. That was an 495 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 14: interesting one. 496 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 2: Right, So no, no nudity and no change. So the 497 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 2: Mussolini honorary honorary citizen and ship. 498 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 14: Where is this this we're talking about the island of Protia. 499 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 14: I beg your pardon off the coast of Naples. Now 500 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 14: this is not the only town I'm sure in Italy 501 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 14: that's still recognizes Mussolini with honorary citizenship. But after one 502 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 14: hundred years, this island has decided to remove that honor 503 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 14: because of anti Semitism concerns. And I think it's an 504 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 14: interesting move, but you know, it just shows you once 505 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 14: again how ingrained Mussolini's support is across Italy that some 506 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 14: of these towns haven't even looked at that as an issue. 507 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: What you buy up on the Olympics. Is Italy gripped 508 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: or not. 509 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 14: Italy is gripped because we've had quite a few gold 510 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 14: medal winners, the swimmers have done well and now there 511 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 14: are some interesting things going on track and field. So 512 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 14: there is a lot of interest I think in Italy 513 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 14: and it's still strong. 514 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 2: No stuf. See you next to this day Joe appreciated 515 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: Joe mckenner out of Italy for you. I've got some 516 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: fresh data on housing, the housing market for your buyers. 517 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: Markets still to tell you. Shortly ten away from seven. 518 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 3: The my costume Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate News Dogs. 519 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 2: Well, my husband works in manufacturing in Auckland. They got 520 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: the restructuring letters yesterday. Fifteen to twenty jobs going out 521 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: of fifty company wides, not just the shop floor. The 522 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: talk is lots of other manufacturing companies looking to downsize 523 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 2: due to current conditions. Manufacturing, I can tell you is 524 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 2: been in the doldrooms for a couple of years in 525 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: this country. They have a manufacturing index that we feature 526 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: on the program periodically plus or minus fifty above fifties 527 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 2: expansionary minus fifties. Contraction and manufacturing has been in the 528 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: doldrums forever. Read the power doesn't make it good. I'm 529 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 2: just telling you read the power prices, Mike. I used 530 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: to live in South Canterbury. During the summer when the 531 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: hydro lakes were at their fullest, the power companies would 532 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 2: spill water like there was no tomorrow. As a result, 533 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 2: lake levels during winter were rundown. That's not true, to 534 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: be fair. They only spill water when they've got so 535 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: much water they don't know what to do with it, 536 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: and some of them don't need as much power. And 537 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: the problem with hydro is you either do one of 538 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 2: two things. Wait for the rain to come and pray 539 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 2: it comes at the right time in the right place, 540 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 2: or you store it. And that was the previous labor 541 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: government's idea. I forgot what it was called. Was what 542 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: lake Dunce. It wasn't dunstan Onslow, so that they were 543 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: going to say it was going to be a massive 544 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: bucket basically, so you take all the rain when it comes, 545 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: you store it up and when you need it. That 546 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: was there, but that was thirty two billion dollars to 547 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: build that. So we thought that a few wind mills, 548 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: but a solar might fill the gap, and of course 549 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: it hasn't. And so when it doesn't rain and we 550 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: don't like the coal and we don't have the wind 551 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 2: mills and the sun doesn't shine enough, and you know, 552 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: it's just we're hopeless, basically. 553 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 9: So we're not enough people crossing their fingers. 554 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: There's probably something in that. But nevertheless, the unemployment just 555 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: quickly on the unemployment rate fifteen to nineteen year olds. 556 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: So certainly half of that group fifteen to seventeen are 557 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: barely out of high school, so they're clearly underqualified. In fact, 558 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: you could argue the whole lot are underqualified. But when 559 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 2: half of the jobs lost in this country, and no 560 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 2: surprise here, the moment an economy contracts, it's the weakest, 561 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: the newest, the youngest, the earliest arrivors who go first. 562 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 2: And what do you do about that? Well, long term, 563 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: you tell them to start at school longer and get 564 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 2: some more qualifications and pick a career path and do 565 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: something more productive with their lives. But it doesn't solve 566 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 2: your problem. And it may well to a degree, partially 567 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: explain why things haven't got uglier than they have. Because 568 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: when you talk about spending. When half the people unemployed 569 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: are kids with let's be honest, no money, then the 570 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: rest of us do have the money. Hence we're still spending. 571 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: Hence the economy is not as contracted as Adrian might 572 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 2: like it to be. Five minutes away from seven, the ins. 573 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 3: Are the outs. It's the biz. 574 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: With business Fiber, take your business productivity to the next level. 575 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: Still a buyer's market news stats. This is the Core 576 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 2: Logic Pain and Gain Report. Proportion of property sold for 577 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 2: more than the original purchase price in Q two ninety 578 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: two point one percent, slight drop from ninety two point 579 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 2: nine and Q one the median gain drops slightly compete 580 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: with last quarter, from three hundred and fifteen thousand dollars 581 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 2: you put in your pocket to three hundred and one thousand. 582 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 2: Median loss has increased episode slightly from fifty to fifty 583 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. Properties that were sold for a gain 584 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: were held on average for nine point two years. Are 585 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: the one sold at the loss were held for two 586 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 2: point seven so another you know, the shorty you hold it. 587 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 2: The investment returns not as great obviously. Apartments not looking good. 588 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: Thirty five percent of apartment resales resulted in a loss. 589 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: That's the lowest number since twenty twelve. Auckland's ugly twelve 590 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: point one percent of all sales lost. That's up from 591 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 2: nine point four Hamilton and Toweronger nine point seven and 592 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: eight point eight. In other words, the percentage of houses 593 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 2: sold at a loss Wellington six point seven percent, apartment 594 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 2: sold at a loss the need and it's five point 595 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 2: two christ due to four point three g christ gyt 596 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 2: is good? Isn't it the average highest average profit? If 597 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: you want to look at it that way's tower Hoor 598 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: You made on average four hundred and five thousand dollars. 599 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: Have you sold your house in Auckland at three ninety 600 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 2: two thousand Wellingston's three ninety christ du it's two seventy 601 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: four to need and two seventy five cent to need. 602 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 2: It's the fifth there, isn't it because you didn't pay much. 603 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: If you made two hundred and seventy five thousand dollars profit, 604 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: that would have been off a minimal investment, given houses 605 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: are on average are a great deal cheaper in that 606 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 2: particular part of the world. Did you get all of 607 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: those numbers here? Going? Oh my god, the numbers anyway, 608 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 2: what I'm telling you is there's more houses being sold 609 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 2: at a loss, and that number seems to be tailing off. 610 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 2: I'm reasonably bullish about the housing market to this brink. 611 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 2: I think by the I think by the time we 612 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: get to springtime, I think you see some a real lift. Certainly, 613 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: listings are up at the moment, in the time to sell, 614 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: as we told you the other day is down, So 615 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 2: that part's encouraging, right, Bradley Olsen, what's he make of this? 616 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: I mean, I think we can put to rest this 617 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 2: mad idea that Adrian's going to cut in August. I 618 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: don't think that's going to happen out of yesterday's job numbers. 619 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: But he's an expert, so we'll ask him for the news. 620 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: The newsmakers and the personalities the big names talk to, 621 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: like Costing Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate doing real estate 622 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: differently since nineteen seventy three, news talk said be. 623 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: Welling seven past seven. So the job's number and their 624 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: link to the cash wagh from the Reserve Bank monetary 625 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: call next week four point six percent. It was below expectations, 626 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: in other words, not as bad as thoughts. So that 627 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 2: would mean those who argue for a cut and August 628 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: are wrong, surely infimetrics principle Economist Brad Olsen's bank, Well, 629 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: there's Brad, morning to you. 630 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 7: Good morning. 631 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: I suppose one of the interesting things the divergence of 632 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 2: views we're getting from the economic community at the moment 633 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: gives you a sense of just how vexed all this is, 634 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: doesn't it, oh, one hundred percent? 635 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 15: I mean, you've got a couple of banks that are 636 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 15: picking an August cut, You've got another that's picking in 637 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 15: October and November cuts. Others who are picking in November cut. 638 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 15: Some of us still thinking, well, either it could be 639 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 15: February or honestly, who knows with the Reserve Bank at 640 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 15: that at this point, And that really is the challenge. 641 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 15: It's not actually so much that we're all looking at 642 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 15: the economic data and coming up with different staffs, that 643 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 15: we're coming up and looking at the economic data and 644 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 15: going what on earth do we think the Reserve think 645 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 15: is going to do? And the fact that none of 646 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 15: us quite know speaks a little bit how inconsistent their 647 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 15: messaging has been. You know, one of the B and 648 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 15: Z notes, I think that was this week, sort of said, look, 649 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 15: the thing is that propensity to surprise from the bank 650 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 15: leaves them with a huge degree of nervousness about their call. 651 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 7: But they don't know. We don't know. 652 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 15: We're all sort of grasping its straws and just playing 653 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 15: a waiting game. 654 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: August is off, isn't it. Surely anyone who argues August 655 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: is a possibility is dreaming, aren't they. 656 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 15: Well, the marks certainly think that it's one hundred percent on. 657 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 15: I think that is overblown, I mean, and the big 658 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 15: one for me is that it would take such a 659 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 15: huge reversal for the Reserve Being to have gone in 660 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 15: May with their latest forecast and said, look, you know 661 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 15: it's going to be August twenty twenty five for them 662 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 15: to now sort of turn around without really being able 663 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 15: to put out any additional forecasts and say, look, we 664 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 15: were just so hopelessly wrong that we've now had to 665 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 15: bring forward things by a year. But that is also 666 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 15: sort of the challenge, right, Even if they don't go 667 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 15: in August, they should be starting to lay the groundwork 668 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 15: now for a CAT. I don't think it'll be October 669 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 15: because I think they'll probably want to have the full 670 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 15: monetary policy statement. The ability to put out fullcast and 671 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 15: a lot more context. But that almost opens up the 672 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 15: potential that maybe, if it is November, maybe it's fifty 673 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 15: basis points to start with, because. 674 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 3: Again waiting too long. 675 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: On their part, though, Brad, they can't go fifty. Think 676 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: of who you're dealing with. You're dealing with Adrian ego 677 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 2: or he's not going to go what's there? It is 678 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: fifty folks, because everyone want to. 679 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 15: Go what Well, But remember that when the reserve vent 680 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 15: did get through their heads that inflation was more persistent 681 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 15: and less transitory than that people were making out to 682 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 15: be a year and a bit ago. Two years ago. 683 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 15: That's when they did start to make those bigger moves. 684 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 15: You know, you saw a seventy five bass point trigger 685 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 15: pulled at one, So I wouldn't discount it. But the 686 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 15: big thing for me is that they do need to 687 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 15: explain why they got it so wrong, because if you 688 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 15: look at their forecast, if you look at the data, 689 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 15: they got unemployment picked bang on. They got inflation at 690 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 15: a headline level it was slightly better. They got non 691 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 15: tradables it was slightly worse. GDP bang on. All of 692 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 15: the data broadly is consistent with their view. In May 693 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 15: that it takes them for August next year to do anything. 694 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 15: So if they're going to move, they're going to have 695 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 15: to say why they're stuffed up. 696 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, what they read the Westpac stuff and go 697 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 2: Q two Q three recession. In other words, there's a 698 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: recession coming. Would they look at go we don't need 699 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 2: a recession, don't want a recession. Maybe it's too late, 700 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: we need to do something. Would any of that making 701 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: they difference or. 702 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 7: Not to a degree? 703 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 15: I think it would make a difference. I think, you know, 704 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 15: if you look at one or the other. And less 705 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 15: talked about figures from yesterday's our unemployment release was the 706 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 15: number of hours worked in the economy. That sort of 707 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 15: fell fairly steeply in a sense. So that highlights that, 708 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 15: you know, you've not only got job losses, but the 709 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 15: people who are still in jobs are also not you know, 710 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 15: there's not that much activity fully coming through from the economy, 711 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 15: so that will weaken it. But again the Reserve Bank knows, 712 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 15: we all know that monetary policy doesn't work that quickly 713 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 15: yet could take six, twelve, eighteen months. But again the 714 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 15: Reserve Bank knew then in May as well. It's not 715 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 15: like this is a new revelation. So again, then like 716 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 15: this is the thing whether that I'm really struggling with 717 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 15: is and the reason that we ad informetrics. We're not 718 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 15: even readjusting of you until we see what the Reserve 719 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 15: Bank comes out with this time, because in May they 720 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 15: talked about going up and pushing it out to August 721 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 15: next year. Their July review they and you've got a 722 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 15: bit of text to give us that seemed to have 723 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 15: a much more sort of dubvish view. 724 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 16: Maybe it is. 725 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 15: Coming to but honestly, I think we're all sort of 726 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 15: flying blind and we've got no idea. 727 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: Good on you, Brad. I always enjoy your company. Brad Olsen, Jeez, 728 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 2: it's fun being a pawn in a big game like this, 729 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 2: isn't it. Eh. It's not like it's important or anything. 730 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: Eleven minutes past seven Skar direction coming for the Public 731 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 2: Service another of these letters of expectation from the government. 732 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: This is a workforce policy statement that covers everything from pay, equity, 733 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 2: diversity remneration to contract the costs. The message from the 734 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 2: government around pay is that collective bargaining and pay increases 735 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 2: must come from budget baselines. The Public Service Minister is 736 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 2: of course, Nikola Willis, who is with us, a very 737 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 738 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 3: Good morning, Mike. 739 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: Do you want to join in the game of guessing 740 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 2: what Adrian's thinking at the moment or not? 741 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 17: Well, you know, his independent decisions and I need to 742 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 17: separate myself out from them. We've just said, look, we're 743 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 17: getting inflation down. When inflation comes down, interest rates can 744 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 17: find and he will decide how soon. 745 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 2: Okay, this letter to the public service. Is that why now, 746 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 2: given you've been in office for seven or eight months. 747 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 17: Well, because we're now entering new rounds of collective bargaining, 748 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 17: and it's very important going into those negotiations that government 749 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 17: agencies are realistic about our financial circumstances, which is there 750 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 17: is not much money in the coffers and we need 751 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 17: to be extremely disciplined if we're to hit our budgets. 752 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 17: So that includes how they negotiate to pay interest times. 753 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 17: Pay rises to the public sector have risen ahead of 754 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 17: the private sector, and that's not quite right. We don't 755 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 17: want them leaving like that. 756 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 2: That is correct, which is what I was just going 757 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 2: to raise. So wages yesterday and the unemployment numbers at 758 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 2: four point three, but that's averaged out the public sector 759 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 2: beats the private sector hands down, doesn't it. 760 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 17: It does, and that reflects a number of big negotiations 761 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 17: that have gone and reflects pay equity going through. And 762 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 17: we think we're now entering a time of restraint and 763 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 17: moderation and that is going to be effected in the 764 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 17: public service. 765 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 15: The good newsers'. 766 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 17: Godentation coming down that people's wages can go a lot further. 767 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 17: We're not seeing prices increase rapidly every week. 768 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 2: Okay, a couple of things while I've got you, Minister 769 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 2: of Finance, hat are we looking to I mean, I 770 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 2: know we're looking, but are we going to have to 771 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 2: import lerg into this country to keep a few businesses open? 772 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 17: We are looking at the feasibility of that, and that's 773 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 17: because we are in a very dramatic situation. We do 774 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 17: not have enough gas. That means we have significant electricity 775 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 17: shortages and have been experiencing the highest electricity spot prices 776 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 17: in the world. And I'll tell you something about countries 777 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 17: that are poor and. 778 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 15: Energy, They are poor countries. 779 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 17: So we need to get this sorted. We don't want 780 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 17: to see businesses falling over because they can't afford electricity 781 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 17: and there's no doubt the shortage and gas has contributed 782 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 17: to this significantly. In importing liquefied natural gas could be 783 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 17: a solution. 784 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 2: Okay, So could it be solved if it rained heavily 785 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 2: in the spot price drops and everyone goes fuel or 786 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 2: is this a bigger picture thing that we need to 787 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 2: have some sort of plan on in the short term. 788 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 17: You're right, if it rained a lot, these problems would 789 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 17: not be as a But I don't want to be 790 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 17: in a situation where every winter for the next few 791 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 17: years we're worrying biting our nails for the rain to fall. 792 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 17: We actually need to have some backup capacity. That's what 793 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 17: gas has traditionally been there for. The last government banned 794 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 17: the exploration of it, and we now find ourselves in 795 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 17: a very tricky situation. So we're looking at what we 796 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 17: need to do immediately to keep the lights on affordably, 797 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 17: but then also over the medium term, what may be 798 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 17: needed to make this an electricity rich country. The world 799 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 17: is actually in a race for who can generate electricity 800 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 17: affordably and sustainably. Countries that can will be welcoming industry 801 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 17: new jobs, The industries of the future, Data centers, AI 802 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 17: countries that can't get it done are going to fall behind, and. 803 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 2: I do not want that to be using the three 804 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 2: mills so far, one in Auckland, two in the center 805 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,399 Speaker 2: of the North Island. Are you hearing there are more? 806 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 2: In other words, if you're in that broad industry roughly 807 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,800 Speaker 2: and it requires electricity, are lots of people actually in trouble. 808 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 2: We just haven't heard about it yet. 809 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 17: I'm hearing there is a lot of pain because of 810 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 17: these high spot prices. That is putting a lot of 811 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 17: pressure on a lot of businesses who are desperately searching 812 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 17: some sort of relief. And that is why we are 813 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 17: treating this with urgency and are considering those extraordinary measures 814 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 17: such as the importation of liquid natural gas and the 815 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 17: investments required able to do that. 816 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 7: These are not normal. 817 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 17: Things to be having to be thinking about as a government, Mike. 818 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 17: But we've been left in a terrible situation by the 819 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 17: previous government which was reckless in its decision making and 820 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 17: put that very basic commodity, affordable electricity, at risk, and 821 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 17: people should never forget it. 822 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 2: Megan would said the other day it's not her fault 823 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 2: at all, because they hadn't discovered gas in the years, 824 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 2: so no big deal. 825 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 17: You say what I say, that is absolutely ridiculous. When 826 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 17: you say to the industry you are not allowed to 827 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 17: explore for gas. The effectives no one wants an investment 828 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 17: in your country anymore, and you won't be getting any gas. 829 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 17: And she did that even while having no plans to 830 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 17: accelerate the building of when farms and solar farms, no 831 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 17: plan to make up for that gap and generation. And 832 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 17: now we find ourselves in a situation where we are 833 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 17: literally having factories closed down, with New Zealanders losing their jobs, 834 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 17: communities devastated because we don't have enough electricity. Unacceptable. 835 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 2: Correct, Nikola Willis Finance Minister came on as Public Service Minister. 836 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 2: It is sixteen past seven. 837 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio. 838 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 3: Howard By News talks that. 839 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 2: Be But Mike, I don't understand. Jacinda said the oil 840 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 2: and gas sector was going to pivot. She was coming 841 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 2: back to Taranaki to explain it to us. I'm sure 842 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 2: she'll be back shortly, Mike. Honestly, we must never forget 843 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 2: how bloody useless the last labor government were had the 844 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: unemployment members Mike taken into account, the people that have 845 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 2: fled the country. No, they don't, of course, because they're 846 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 2: not here. You've got to be registered to be unemployed. 847 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 2: A couple of stories around it. One that we a 848 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 2: lot of people who have been laid off that have 849 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 2: got too much money at home that they can't actually 850 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 2: get the unemployment benefit. A lot of people who will 851 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 2: laid off and retired, a lot of people who have 852 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 2: laid off and will be taking a holiday. A lot 853 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 2: of people have been laid off moved into other jobs, 854 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 2: that sort of thing. They never get registered. Unless you're registered, 855 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 2: you're not unemployed. If you've left the country, you're not 856 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 2: registered as unemployed here obviously, but you must understand and 857 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 2: remember that there are more people now in the country. 858 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 2: Net there's been a net gain and a large net 859 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 2: gain for people arriving at the country versus the New 860 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 2: Zealanders who of course are leaving. Mike with the government 861 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 2: deal to effectively subsidize the teaway Points smelter with chep 862 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 2: electricity given the amount of power they use, has this 863 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 2: had a negative flow and effect to other business it's 864 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 2: a very good question, yes, unquestionably, but it's not about that. 865 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 2: What it's about is the ability in Nicoler expressed it 866 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 2: very well. It's the ability of a country to produce 867 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 2: the resources required to do business, and not only do business, 868 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 2: do more business. And so twice now since that deal 869 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 2: was signed, te Y have been asked to cut back 870 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 2: on power. That's not the way to do business. I 871 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 2: said this about a week ago in the program. Asking 872 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 2: people to do less is not how you grow the economy. 873 00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 2: So yes, it's having an effect. But then again, if 874 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 2: you look at the balance, I e. T Y aren't 875 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,280 Speaker 2: here at all doing nothing because they've left the country 876 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 2: versus giving TY a good deal because they use a 877 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 2: tremendous amount of power. That's just business at the end 878 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 2: of the day. So technically, yes, it has an effective course. 879 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,160 Speaker 2: It does, but don't you want t Y here employing 880 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: people doing the aluminium adding to the economy. What we 881 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 2: actually want to do is, oh, I don't know, produce 882 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 2: enough power so the country works. Seven twenty one. 883 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio Power 884 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 1: by News Talks b. 885 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 2: Now, when SpaceX introduced starlink, it was groundbreaking tech, of course, 886 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 2: but there are a few local use cases to back 887 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 2: up the effectiveness of the solution.

I think there's a story floating 905 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,439 Speaker 2: run on our news service today. As an observer, I've 906 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 2: noted that generally TV one and Radio New Zealand seem 907 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 2: to be particularly interested in the subject. The formula for 908 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 2: coverage is an age old one, and all media outlets 909 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 2: fall forward. Whoever has a problem fars out of press 910 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 2: release or cause a friendly journalist and lays out their complaint. 911 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 2: In this instance, the fear was that orring a tomaiki 912 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 2: were conducting a funding review, and there appeared to be 913 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 2: a belief. Correctly, as it turns out that money was 914 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: going to be stopped or withheld or withdrawn. Now the 915 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 2: sort of story plays well in the media. It's sort 916 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 2: of the it's the plug key little operator who's battled 917 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,280 Speaker 2: away for years in the community providing a vital service 918 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 2: that should be well. Should it be stopped now would 919 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 2: lead to Lord knows what sort of drama. That drama 920 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 2: was expressed on Tuesday Night's News in the most graphic 921 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 2: of ways from one operator who said, quote, kids will die. Now, 922 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 2: this is easy news. It's lazy journalism. Of course, finding 923 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,200 Speaker 2: upset people who don't like their money being cart or stopped. 924 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 2: It's not hard, especially when they've called you. The other 925 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 2: side of the story is now being told by orangutamiki 926 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 2: who have laid there some of the wastage that we're 927 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 2: talking about quite apart from anything. We're talking about half 928 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 2: a billion dollars going to over five hundred providers. That's well, 929 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 2: it's an industry. It's a million dollars on average provider, 930 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: five hundred times plus over. Anyway, they've saved so far 931 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty odd million dollars because some of 932 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 2: them are underlivering. Some of them had money sitting in 933 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 2: bank accounts doing nothing. This is the other side of 934 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 2: the story. I've not heard until yesterday. Where's the other 935 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 2: side of the story been? 936 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:00,839 Speaker 7: Eh. 937 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 2: So far, they've not only saved on spending going forward, 938 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 2: they've clawed back twenty two million dollars and expect that 939 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 2: to go higher as they crack down on things that 940 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: weren't done now. This is not to say there aren't 941 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 2: those who work hard and do well, of course not. 942 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 2: But it's the old economic lesson when it comes to 943 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 2: hands out for free money, there is literally no limit 944 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 2: if you don't say no, and there is no end 945 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 2: to a sad story for a journal when reality not 946 00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 2: A check comes calling asking I just clarify. If the 947 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 2: power situational factory is closing, is it because we don't 948 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 2: have enough supply, or because what supply we have is 949 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 2: too expensive, or is it just over priced? Please don't 950 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 2: tell me all three or I'm on a plane. Well, 951 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you the answer after the news. 952 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 2: It's not as complicated as you think. Fortunately, what is complicated, 953 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 2: because I haven't got to the bottom of this yet, 954 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,800 Speaker 2: is Mark Mitchell, who's denied Ginny Anderson access to a 955 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 2: police station. Now, Mark has previously been on this very 956 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 2: program as opposition spokesperson, going Poto. It's not fair I 957 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 2: couldn't go to a policer. So is this pot kettle? 958 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 2: What are we dealing with here? Mirk Mitchell will explain 959 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 2: more than just a couple of moments after the news, 960 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 2: which is next to the reviews, Talk To. 961 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: The Breakfast Show You Can Trust, the Mic Hosking Breakfast 962 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 1: with a Vita, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way News. 963 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 2: Togs Head be is Ran, our favorite military strategist is 964 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 2: back on the program after eight o'clock, so I look 965 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 2: forward to catching up with him. Will cover off Garza, 966 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 2: cover off Ukraine and caver off China in this particular 967 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,279 Speaker 2: part of the world. Meantime, twenty three minutes away from 968 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 2: eight Ah, good old politics. 969 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,240 Speaker 8: Wednesday, just make a comment in the house. My comment 970 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 8: was us you were not across your bridge. That was 971 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 8: my comment in the House yesterday. 972 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 7: So you could have any. 973 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 2: Like a little bit of back and forth. Then later 974 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,839 Speaker 2: on the afternoon, Mark Mitchell was accused of barring Ginny 975 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 2: Anderson from visiting the Albany police station. Mitchell says he 976 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 2: count support a generic request to visit a station with 977 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 2: no context in a week's notice. Anderson claims the Police 978 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 2: Minister are scared of what she might find out. The 979 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,919 Speaker 2: Police Minister Marke Mitchell's with us very good morning. Are 980 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 2: you a monumental hypocrite? 981 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 8: No, not at all, not at all. If it's nice 982 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 8: that the eight months in the opposition police spokesmen spokesperson 983 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 8: has showing interested visits, and of course I'm going to 984 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 8: support and facilitate those where i can. There is a 985 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 8: reason why you have to request to be able to 986 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 8: visit the police stations, because they are operational, they've got workloads, 987 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 8: they've got appointments, they've got offenders and victims in police stations. 988 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 8: It's not a library. And when a request comes through, 989 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 8: specify who you actually want to meet with. So that 990 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 8: we can actually check and make sure that person is 991 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 8: available and not tied up doing police. 992 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: With Okay, so if she comes at what's the timeframe, 993 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 2: by the way, that's acceptable. 994 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 8: If a week isn't, well, give us give us much 995 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 8: notice as you can. I mean, I'm the police Minister 996 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 8: and I give as much notice as I can when 997 00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 8: I'm visiting police stations. 998 00:46:59,200 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 7: And by the way, I. 999 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 8: Try to keep them as locally as possible, because the 1000 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 8: last thing our hard working frontline police officers need is 1001 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,399 Speaker 8: politicians rolling in. Now on saying that now, I'm saying 1002 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,720 Speaker 8: that I encourage locally MP's to have very strong, trusted 1003 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 8: working relationships with area and district commanders because our area 1004 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 8: and district commanders are leaders in their communities, as are 1005 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,920 Speaker 8: our electric MPs, and that does happen. There is regular 1006 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,160 Speaker 8: quarterly meetings that happen and bringing peace together. Look, and 1007 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 8: the other thing I want to say, Mike, is that 1008 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 8: I support all of our opposition spokespeople. In my emergency 1009 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 8: management portfolio. I make my officials available. I've provided briefings 1010 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 8: to labor and Green spokespeople. Isisen Waira for the local 1011 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,320 Speaker 8: state of emergency. I bought the Labor MP Kushler that 1012 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 8: throw rafter the MP into my briefings and included her 1013 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 8: so that she was across and knew what was happening. 1014 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 8: I've got a public safety meeting in Auckland tomorrow morning, 1015 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 8: my second one. I invite Chloe Swarbrick belong to that 1016 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 8: as the local MP, and she attends and comes. I 1017 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 8: was in Phil Twyford's electorate office last week helping him 1018 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 8: with a constituent matter. I work across party because at 1019 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 8: the end of the day, people, when they're stressed and 1020 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,759 Speaker 8: they need help, do not care about politics. But if 1021 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,360 Speaker 8: the opposition, if the opposition ploy police spokesperson, wants access 1022 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,839 Speaker 8: to police stations, please give us some notice, Please give 1023 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 8: us some speciifty around who they want to meet with. 1024 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 8: And by the way, the best person to meet with 1025 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 8: and get information from is the police commissioner. 1026 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 2: Okay, Having said all that, what's the time frame? Because 1027 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,399 Speaker 2: you didn't answer that question. If a week isn't good enough, 1028 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 2: what is good enough? 1029 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,800 Speaker 8: No, I said, look as much notice as possible. 1030 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 2: What if she goes two weeks notice and you go, 1031 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,400 Speaker 2: that's not good enough. I don't want to keep getting 1032 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 2: back on the. 1033 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 8: Program here's police minister. I'll do two or three weeks 1034 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 8: for a month out. But look, if she wants to 1035 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,240 Speaker 8: make an application for a week, it's fine. I'll support 1036 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 8: her as much as I can with that. It is 1037 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 8: important for our demopracy. However, please specify who you want 1038 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,320 Speaker 8: to meet with. Rocking up to a police station with 1039 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,080 Speaker 8: another MP and walking in and wandering around and trying 1040 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,760 Speaker 8: to find and talk to commission officers. 1041 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 7: That is not a goer. 1042 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 8: That's not a library. It's an operation for the police station. 1043 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,160 Speaker 2: All the examples you gave and your offers gave me 1044 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,879 Speaker 2: the same examples. They're all under the auspices of your 1045 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 2: emergency management portfolio. There doesn't seem to be anything cooperative 1046 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 2: under your police portfolio. Are you but sensitive about that? 1047 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 8: Now, Chloe Swarbrick, that's that is public safety, that's the 1048 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 8: Auckland CBD, that's getting that's that's working on making our 1049 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 8: CBD safer. And you've seen that there's been a lot 1050 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 8: of resource put into that. And I'm close and bring 1051 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 8: Chloe into that because she's the local EMP. 1052 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 2: Okay, so let me just play with this and you 1053 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 2: will clear this up once and for all. This is 1054 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 2: March twenty twenty two. 1055 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:39,400 Speaker 3: This is you. 1056 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 8: I checked with two other police past police listeners. They 1057 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 8: said they never got any requests from the opposition spokesperson. 1058 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 8: You know, she's been petulant and vindictive and making it personal. 1059 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 8: That's third world stuff that she might as well go 1060 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 8: and join the cabinet Somalia. 1061 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 2: So that's Poto Williams. Of course you're referring to. So 1062 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 2: this you argue black and Blue is and you're a 1063 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 2: good guy. 1064 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,719 Speaker 8: Well, and what I was talking about, that is where 1065 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 8: I was talking about. That is a request to meet 1066 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,000 Speaker 8: with the police commissioner. I was blocked from meeting with 1067 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 8: the police commissioner. If Ginny Anderson had sent for a 1068 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,399 Speaker 8: request yesterday to meet with the police commissioner, it would 1069 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,360 Speaker 8: have been approved and sent back within thirty seconds. 1070 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 3: She didn't do that. 1071 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 8: She requests to get her an operational police station with 1072 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 8: another list MP and can specify who she was going 1073 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 8: to meet with. And if she keeps sending requests like 1074 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 8: that and they're going to be declined, please she is 1075 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 8: welcome to go to a police station. She is welcome 1076 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,920 Speaker 8: to go and speak to someone. Please identify who she 1077 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 8: wants to speak to. Is that the crime control manager 1078 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 8: is that, the area commander, is that, the district commander 1079 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,440 Speaker 8: is that the inspector in charge for HR Exactly is it? 1080 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 8: Because just rocking up to the police station and saying 1081 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 8: I want to walk in there and just talk to 1082 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 8: commissioned officers is probably going to continue to get the 1083 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 8: same response if she comes back to when she says 1084 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 8: I want it gives us some much notice as possible. 1085 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 8: I'd like to visit this police station. This is who 1086 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,320 Speaker 8: I'd like to visit. And by the way, it should 1087 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 8: be a commissioned police officer, because our front line police 1088 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,719 Speaker 8: officers don't want to get tied up in politics or 1089 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 8: necessarily talking to politicians. Then I will approve that no 1090 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,359 Speaker 8: problem at all. But the example that you just gave 1091 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 8: there was Ploto Williams blocking me is the police spokesperson 1092 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,879 Speaker 8: to speak to the commissioner. And by the way, I've 1093 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,759 Speaker 8: had several quests. He had timoth and Paul come up 1094 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 8: to me the other day in Parliament say Hey, is 1095 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,320 Speaker 8: there any chance i'd get access to questions and police. 1096 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 8: I said, of course, I said, put a request, so 1097 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 8: let me know what you need. 1098 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 7: And we'll make it happen. 1099 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 2: All right and see we'll see you next Wednesday. Appreciate 1100 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 2: it very much. Marke Mitchell, Police minister. So clear it up. 1101 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 2: I think it does, doesn't do it? Agree anyway? Seventeen 1102 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,240 Speaker 2: minutes away from it. Just to clarify the power situational 1103 00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,800 Speaker 2: factories closing because we don't have enough supply. No, we 1104 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 2: don't have enough supply, that is correct. Or because what 1105 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,360 Speaker 2: supply we have is too expensive, that too is correct. 1106 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 2: Or is it just overpriced? Well that's the debatable part. 1107 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 2: Please don't tell me it's all three or I'm on 1108 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 2: a plane. Unfortunately you're on a plane, because it is 1109 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 2: all three. We don't have enough because we rely on 1110 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 2: hydro too much and that requires it to rain. It 1111 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 2: hasn't rained down south it's been a dry winter. Or 1112 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 2: it is a dry winter and it's been a dry summer. 1113 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 2: Or because what supply we have is too expensive. Yes, 1114 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 2: why is that? Because we run what's called a spot price, 1115 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 2: So in other words, we only make what we make 1116 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,360 Speaker 2: and the demand for it doesn't go away, but the 1117 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,279 Speaker 2: supply does. So it's the classic supply demand situation. More 1118 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,680 Speaker 2: demand than the rest supply, so the price on the day, 1119 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,160 Speaker 2: the spot price goes up and for some people they 1120 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,719 Speaker 2: simply can't afford it, or is it just overpriced. Well, 1121 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 2: some would argue it is overprice based on the fact 1122 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 2: that we don't produce enough, based on the fact that 1123 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,800 Speaker 2: the spot price has gone up. So sorry to disappoint you, 1124 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 2: but basically, the system doesn't work is what boils down to, 1125 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 2: and when factories are closing and people are laid off 1126 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,040 Speaker 2: because they can't afford the power bill, the system doesn't work. 1127 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 1: Sixteen to two The Mic asking Breakfast Full Show podcast 1128 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News. 1129 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 2: Talks it be It's in a way from it. 1130 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:50,960 Speaker 9: Mic. 1131 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,640 Speaker 2: After thirty five years as a professional trader, having worked 1132 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,360 Speaker 2: at investment banks in London, New York, Tokyo and Singapore, 1133 00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen such a transparent Central bank. 1134 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,359 Speaker 2: Z said that interest rates would go to five point 1135 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,319 Speaker 2: five percent. They did. They said unemployment would likely reach 1136 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 2: five point five It probably will, and their inflation target 1137 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,799 Speaker 2: has been clearly broadcast. It's the media and poorer economists 1138 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,320 Speaker 2: whining and finger pointing that have muddy the waters and 1139 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 2: confused what is a pretty clear developing situation. I think 1140 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,720 Speaker 2: that's probably what brad Olsen was trying to explain earlier 1141 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 2: on Wasn't It. What he's saying is that as it 1142 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,439 Speaker 2: currently stands, everything is going according to the Reserve Bank, 1143 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 2: and it's what we've said on this program a number 1144 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,320 Speaker 2: of times before. Everything's going according to the plan for 1145 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank. What we're seeing at the moment is 1146 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 2: a realization for individuals and their stories and circumstances and 1147 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 2: situations where they're screaming and going, wait, surely this is 1148 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 2: bad enough, and the banks are going, wait a minute, 1149 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 2: we're not lending enough money in the housing market at 1150 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,200 Speaker 2: the moment. Surely this is bad enough. And we're seeing 1151 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 2: the unemployment rate. Oh, surely this is bad enough. So 1152 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 2: you've got the interface and it's happening all over the world, 1153 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,399 Speaker 2: and you're right. I think where your argument will fall 1154 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:58,719 Speaker 2: apart is that I believe now that Adrianall will go 1155 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 2: in probably Ofctober, and if not October, certainly November, because 1156 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 2: Brad also made the very good point, and he's right. 1157 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 2: If they don't go in November, they can't go to February. 1158 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 2: They don't have a meeting until February, so you're going 1159 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 2: all away from October November through to February before you 1160 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 2: can address the situation. And I would argue personally that 1161 00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 2: it's probably got to a point where the Reserve Bank 1162 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 2: can now go tell you what we did think next year, 1163 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 2: but we're wrong. Counter to that is what I tried 1164 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: to explain yesterday is you've got to take into account 1165 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,160 Speaker 2: Adrian Or's ego and he's not a man for backing down, 1166 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 2: and he's certainly not a man to publicly state with 1167 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 2: clarity that he was wrong and he misread it. And 1168 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,919 Speaker 2: that's where Brad comes in. I think Brad's read Adrian well. 1169 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 2: Hence they'd not changed their forecast until what basically the 1170 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,359 Speaker 2: RB's saying still and unless they change, Brad's not changing. 1171 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 2: That's probably the wise argument, and that's your argument as well. 1172 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 2: So it's all fascinating, but the problem with it is 1173 00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:54,920 Speaker 2: it affects each and every one of us, each and 1174 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,280 Speaker 2: every day between now and it's only August until October November, 1175 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 2: and if we're wrong in October November, we're waiting till 1176 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,320 Speaker 2: February or March next year, and that's a lot of 1177 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 2: pain in the ensuing period. And if you listen to 1178 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,200 Speaker 2: what Westpac said the other day, Q twos and negative territory, 1179 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,399 Speaker 2: Q three's and negative territory. So we're into another which 1180 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 2: by my account would make it the third recession we've 1181 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 2: had post COVID. So once again you asked the question, 1182 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,799 Speaker 2: how bad does it have to get? Tend to wait 1183 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:21,400 Speaker 2: the mic. 1184 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: Hosking brakfast with Alveda Retirement Communities. 1185 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 2: Given away from a new report that is found as 1186 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 2: virtually impossible apparently for beneficiary families to eat healthy food. 1187 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 2: It's the inflation argument of course over the past six years. 1188 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 2: The question is what to do of anything at Professor 1189 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,080 Speaker 2: of Nutrition, Child Poverty Action Group spokesperson A Lane Rush 1190 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 2: is with us. Elaine, very good morning to you, Good morning, 1191 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 2: very good news is that this report correct me if 1192 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 2: I'm wrong as retrospective and the cost of food is 1193 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:47,839 Speaker 2: now coming down. 1194 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 18: It's not coming down, it's just rising more slowly. 1195 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 2: Well, the last figure was actually down. 1196 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,560 Speaker 18: Yes, but the amount down is very small on some 1197 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 18: foods and it depends what you're looking at at the 1198 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 18: food basket as it were. 1199 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. 1200 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 18: To re selected from these stats New Zealand food Basket 1201 00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 18: the healthier foods that were at budget prices and examined 1202 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 18: how they had changed. 1203 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 19: Over the years. 1204 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 2: But I'm wondering if, because your report is retrospectable over 1205 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 2: the last six years, you're missing the boats lightly. Tomatoes, cheese, 1206 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 2: and potatoes are down sixteen percent. Fruit and vegetables generally, meat, poultry, 1207 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 2: and fish are falling sixteen point one percent. 1208 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 18: Well, I don't think we're the one missing the boat. 1209 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,240 Speaker 18: There's a lot of children missing the boat at the moment. 1210 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,759 Speaker 18: And the pressure on food banks and other places is 1211 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 18: increasing greatly. And it's not just the poor, as you say, 1212 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 18: it's middle class too. Because of the increasing unemployment. More 1213 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,480 Speaker 18: and more people are finding it harder to make ends 1214 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,440 Speaker 18: meat because it's not just food that is part of 1215 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:03,280 Speaker 18: the cost, it's imidation and electricity and all those other things. 1216 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:06,320 Speaker 2: True. What do we do about it? 1217 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 3: Though? 1218 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,840 Speaker 18: I think in New Zealand we need to have a 1219 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 18: cohesive food strategy, not just driven by politicians, but driven 1220 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 18: by business people and everyone involved in the food industry, 1221 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 18: which basically is everyone in New Zealand. We need to 1222 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 18: have sim system we actually prioritize feeding New Zealand as 1223 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 18: well first before sending the food overseas, and think very 1224 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 18: carefully about foods that we're importing in such huge quantities 1225 00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 18: because they're actually failing to promote health in New Zealand. 1226 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 2: So but we make a living as a country from 1227 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 2: selling things like food to the world. That's what we 1228 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:49,360 Speaker 2: do as a country. 1229 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 18: Yes, but our living isn't. Conditions aren't that good in 1230 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,000 Speaker 18: New Zealand at the moment, and particularly with impacts on 1231 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:06,320 Speaker 18: global supplies, most likely to get worse, particularly for food overseas. 1232 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 18: Food is getting more expensive and climate change is making 1233 00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 18: a huge difference to where the food supplies go. For instance, 1234 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,360 Speaker 18: into China. Now we're not exporting as much. 1235 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 2: No, that's because they don't have any money because they 1236 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 2: handled COVID poorly and they didn't open the borders in time, 1237 00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 2: and they their economy is going backwards. 1238 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 18: Well, that's one reason that the whole thing is incredibly complex, 1239 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 18: and we've got to be very careful when systems are 1240 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 18: changed that the change doesn't impact on other things and 1241 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 18: actually make it worse. 1242 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 2: Aline appreciate your time. Eline Russia is the professor of 1243 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 2: nutrition at aut Where's JD and Carmel today? Are they 1244 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 2: out and about? 1245 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:56,920 Speaker 19: I took on perpetrators of all kinds, predators who have 1246 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 19: used women fraudsters, who ripped off consumers, who scammers, who 1247 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 19: broke the rules for personal gain. So hear me when 1248 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:10,520 Speaker 19: I say. 1249 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 17: I know Donald Trump's tape, she said she could. 1250 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 2: This is how many times are going to say this 1251 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 2: in the campaign. I mean, it's not that it's not affected, 1252 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 2: and they seem to love it, but jeez, I'm sure 1253 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 2: I heard this the other day. Mcran The Wars Gaza, Ukraine, 1254 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,840 Speaker 2: China in the Pacific.

Just 1260 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 2: this week Zelensky, of course, has got the first of 1261 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,720 Speaker 2: the F sixteens meantime Israel in the US on hire 1262 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 2: alert for some sort of retaliation from Iran.

It's out next week. 1266 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 2: Mcryan's with us out of Australia. 1267 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 12: Good morning, it's good to be with you. 1268 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 2: Let's start with Ukraine. If sixteen's they've arrived, do you 1269 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 2: think they'll make a difference. 1270 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 12: They'll make a small difference, but they're not going to 1271 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:22,919 Speaker 12: win the war for Ukraine. They are a technological step 1272 01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 12: up from its current fleet of former Soviet aircraft, but 1273 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,040 Speaker 12: they're in very small quantities at the moment, and it'll 1274 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 12: take some time to build up to ninety aircraft they've 1275 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 12: been promised. 1276 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,200 Speaker 2: And of course they're lacking pilots. 1277 01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,600 Speaker 12: That's the key determinant, and how quickly they can be deployed. 1278 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 12: The planes will probably arrive quicker than the number of 1279 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 12: pilots they've got, and pilots are a problem because they've 1280 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,120 Speaker 12: got combat missions to fly, they've got English to learn, 1281 01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 12: and it takes a while to train them on the 1282 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,439 Speaker 12: F sixteen, all of which slows things down. 1283 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 2: So I've been reading your quote in Quota the other day. 1284 01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 2: Russia's more dangerous now in your view? What's changed, if 1285 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 2: you want to put it this way, Are they a 1286 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 2: better side now? 1287 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 12: They're certainly not the better side. They're the more brutal side, 1288 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 12: but they have learned over the last two and a 1289 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,000 Speaker 12: half years from their battlefield experiences. The Russian army that 1290 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 12: exists to now exists now did not exist two and 1291 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 12: a half years ago, so they've improved their ability to fight. 1292 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 12: But more importantly, the Russian nation has improved its mobilization 1293 01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,520 Speaker 12: and industrial capacity to fight this war over the long term. 1294 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,680 Speaker 2: So the capacity you talk of are the suggestion being 1295 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 2: they can simply grind this out. They will forever be 1296 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 2: able to make more stuff to explode than the Ukrainians. 1297 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:37,840 Speaker 2: Is that fair? 1298 01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 12: They will certainly be able to do it for a while, 1299 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 12: But as a wise person once said, no tree grows 1300 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 12: to the sky. No country can fight and take this 1301 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 12: many casualties forever. So even the Russians have a limit, 1302 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 12: and the whole aim of NATO's strategy needs to be 1303 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 12: to ensure we find that limit and beat them. 1304 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,760 Speaker 2: That's your assessment of NATO's strategy and how it's changed 1305 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 2: in the last year or two. 1306 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 12: Well, I think they've improved over the last two and 1307 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:11,440 Speaker 12: a half years. Certainly there's great unity in NATO. They're 1308 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 12: doing a lot in the provision of equipment, minisitions and 1309 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 12: training and intelligence the Ukraine. But the next step absolutely 1310 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,440 Speaker 12: has to be embracing the defeat of the Russian military 1311 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,680 Speaker 12: in Ukraine. At the moment, it's defending Ukraine, so there's 1312 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 12: elite to be had there and with that must come 1313 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 12: the resources to throw the Russians out of Ukraine. 1314 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,200 Speaker 2: And how does that happen, especially if the Republicans win 1315 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 2: in October. 1316 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,920 Speaker 12: Well, it's going to be pretty hard. But NATO countries 1317 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 12: in Europe are stepping up their capacity to build things, 1318 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 12: built munitions and to support Ukraine. They have done over 1319 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,680 Speaker 12: the last two and a half years. There's a couple 1320 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,720 Speaker 12: of laggards there, but most have at least hit the 1321 01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 12: two percent of GDP and some are exceeding that. So 1322 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,520 Speaker 12: if the Republicans do get elected, and that's by no 1323 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 12: means assured, it will be much more difficult for Ukraine. 1324 01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,560 Speaker 12: But at the end of the day, Trump may find, 1325 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,200 Speaker 12: if he is elected president, that it's in his interest 1326 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 12: to help Ukraine, not into them. We shouldn't discount that possibility. 1327 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 2: Has the result changed in the Ukraine from the people letters. 1328 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,640 Speaker 12: No, I don't think so. I mean there's a deep 1329 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 12: fatigue and weariness among Ukrainian people. I mean people talk 1330 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 12: about fatigue with the war in western countries. We have 1331 01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:34,240 Speaker 12: absolutely nothing to be fatigued about. But the Ukrainians do. 1332 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 12: But they understand that as and as hard as it 1333 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 12: is to fight this war, being occupied by Russia would 1334 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 12: be vastly worse all the evidences there from two and 1335 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 12: a half years of Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory. 1336 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 2: All right, So I ring you in a year. Where's 1337 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:54,040 Speaker 2: the warrat do you think? 1338 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 12: Ah, you can't predict these things. Unfortunately, my hope would 1339 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,360 Speaker 12: be that we've beaten Sure and kicked him out of Ukraine. 1340 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 2: All right, Let's move to the Middle East and a 1341 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 2: couple of moments. Mcryan more shortly eleven past eight the. 1342 01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:11,439 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, cowed by. 1343 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 2: Newstalksb fourteen past eight, military strategist Mcryan back with us 1344 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 2: on the program. Let's move to the Middle East if 1345 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 2: we can. How worried are you that this goes regional? 1346 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 12: Well, in some respects it already is. You have Israel 1347 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 12: fighting a war on multiple fronts in Gaza, on its 1348 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 12: northern border, in the West Bank, and its southern frontiers 1349 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,040 Speaker 12: with the Huthis. So it's already surrounded by a ring 1350 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,680 Speaker 12: of fire. Iran has already attacked it once directly and 1351 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 12: has been attacking it indirectly for decades. So in many respects, 1352 01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,440 Speaker 12: it's already a regional conflict, but it's the level of 1353 01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 12: violence is beneath the threshold that we are able to 1354 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,400 Speaker 12: deal with. The danger we face at the moment is 1355 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:01,440 Speaker 12: that Isra Iran, working with Heesbela and others, might do 1356 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 12: something that might see the situation become far more combustible 1357 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 12: and far more difficult for both Israel and countries like 1358 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 12: the United States to deal with. 1359 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 2: And as we talked this morning, Iran has not responded. 1360 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 2: So I suppose three things they could do. One they 1361 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,840 Speaker 2: can do nothing. Two they could telegraph what they're going 1362 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 2: to do, like the drones a few months back. Or 1363 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 2: three they can go out all out what's your core. 1364 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 12: I don't think they can say there's nothing to see here. 1365 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 12: This time it happened in the capital of Iran and 1366 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:37,200 Speaker 12: was a pretty significant loss of face for the Iranians 1367 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 12: and for Hesbelah to be quite frank. So I think 1368 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,919 Speaker 12: we will certainly see a response. I think it will 1369 01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 12: probably be more significant than what we saw earlier this year, 1370 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,400 Speaker 12: but whether they'll be more successful this time remains to 1371 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 12: be seen. 1372 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 2: The fact that the Israeli has got three key people 1373 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 2: Lebanon and Iran under protection. What does that tell you 1374 01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 2: about the sophistication what the Israelis are about. 1375 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 12: It tells me they're pretty good at finding people they 1376 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 12: need to deal with. They made it very clear after 1377 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:12,280 Speaker 12: seven October they were going to find and bring to 1378 01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,160 Speaker 12: justice every person involved in the seven October attacks. We 1379 01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 12: should know from previous promises of this time from the Israelis, 1380 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 12: particularly up to the Muny Olympics, that they deliver on 1381 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:23,360 Speaker 12: those kinds of provinces. 1382 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,960 Speaker 2: Is there anything from your observation that anyone anywhere can 1383 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 2: say or do that can affect Netanyahu and what he 1384 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 2: wants to achieve, good or bad. 1385 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:37,120 Speaker 12: It's hard to imagine anyone external to Israel having a 1386 01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,080 Speaker 12: significant influence on him. I think we've seen that since 1387 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:45,440 Speaker 12: October last years that now WHU will do what's in 1388 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 12: his best interests. Even a majority of Israeli seem to 1389 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 12: think that he's not doing things in the best interests 1390 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:52,240 Speaker 12: of their country. 1391 01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 2: All Right, the Pacific, let's deal with that orcus, What 1392 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 2: do you know of it, What do you think of it? 1393 01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,400 Speaker 2: And what should New Zealand do about Pilar two. 1394 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 12: Well, UCAS is a very important arrangement between Australia, the 1395 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,720 Speaker 12: United Kingdom and the United States. Pillar one, as you know, 1396 01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 12: is the nuclear powered attack submarines. They will be an 1397 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 12: important capability into the future. But Pillot two, I think 1398 01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,880 Speaker 12: has a lot of potential beyond the three countries that 1399 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 12: are currently part of Aucus, the R and D at 1400 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 12: different universities and establishments in the three main countries, but 1401 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,560 Speaker 12: potentially in places like Cana, Japean, Korea or even New Zealand. 1402 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 12: I think could be a very interesting collaboration in the 1403 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 12: years and the decades ahead. 1404 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:43,760 Speaker 2: Do you see us in the sticky position? I mean, 1405 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:45,600 Speaker 2: in other words, if we joined Pillar two, is that 1406 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 2: pro American and anti Chinese? 1407 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 12: Well, you know, at the end of the day, China 1408 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 12: is doing a lot of things that are against all 1409 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 12: our interests in our region and beyond. They are helping 1410 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 12: China Aid, a sovereign, prosperous, democratic country. They've threatened to 1411 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 12: do exactly the same to Taiwan. They are threatening nations 1412 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:13,480 Speaker 12: in the region like the Philippines and others constantly. So 1413 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,960 Speaker 12: at the end of the day. You know, China has 1414 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,799 Speaker 12: a threat to the system that exists in the Western 1415 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,240 Speaker 12: Pacific at the moment, and we need to ensure that 1416 01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,479 Speaker 12: we deter them from doing anything that could tip us 1417 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,280 Speaker 12: into some catastrophic war. 1418 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,639 Speaker 2: And what about Australia, Are they doing enough? 1419 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,600 Speaker 12: Well? I think we're doing a lot. You know, the 1420 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,800 Speaker 12: National Defense Strategy and the defense budget does a lot. 1421 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 12: But is it enough? My sense is probably not. We 1422 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:45,599 Speaker 12: probably need to spend at least another percentage of GDP 1423 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,800 Speaker 12: to not only afford these submarines and everything else we 1424 01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,720 Speaker 12: want to buy, but probably expand the size of the 1425 01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 12: Australian Defense Force to cope with all the different contingencies 1426 01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:58,519 Speaker 12: that it now has to prepare for. 1427 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,840 Speaker 2: And in general, how are what about China? Are you 1428 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,400 Speaker 2: in the region? I mean I asked the question, Correct 1429 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. But you said the other day 1430 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 2: that Australia will need to at some point look at 1431 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 2: a national service type operation, which strikes me as being 1432 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:12,639 Speaker 2: sort of from another time, another age. 1433 01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 12: Well, it's from this time. 1434 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 16: In this age. 1435 01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:18,519 Speaker 12: There are many countries where having a national service scheme 1436 01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:23,120 Speaker 12: is entirely unremarkable. Many democracies have had them for decades 1437 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 12: and it's something that's embraced and supported by the citizens. 1438 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:32,080 Speaker 12: Whether it's Singapore or Korea or Taiwan, or countries in 1439 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 12: Scandinavia and even in parts of Europe, this is an 1440 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:39,840 Speaker 12: uncontroversial theme and it's only in countries of Australia and 1441 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 12: New Zealand America where it's become a political football. National 1442 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:47,200 Speaker 12: service is about taking eighteen year olds and joining them 1443 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 12: to their society by having them serve their community. Doesn't 1444 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,160 Speaker 12: all have to be military. In fact, it's very small 1445 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,559 Speaker 12: proportion of them will be military. You can have them 1446 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,960 Speaker 12: drive ambulances, you can have them plant trees, you can 1447 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:01,559 Speaker 12: have them fight bushfires. The principal aim of a national 1448 01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:05,400 Speaker 12: service scheme is to have eighteen year olds learned that 1449 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 12: there's more to life than them and I'm pretty sure 1450 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,080 Speaker 12: most people in the community wouldn't see that as a 1451 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 12: bad thing. 1452 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 2: And you see that happening in the not too distant 1453 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 2: future in a place like Australia, and I'm assuming if 1454 01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,160 Speaker 2: it happens in Australia could be looked at here. 1455 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,360 Speaker 12: Well. I think we need to talk about it very seriously. 1456 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,320 Speaker 12: Whether it happens or not, is a political decision, but 1457 01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,720 Speaker 12: we would be very foolish as a country to it 1458 01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,400 Speaker 12: not at least not have a conversation, to have a 1459 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 12: debate about the merits of such a system. 1460 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:33,760 Speaker 2: What's your observation of the world, I mean when we 1461 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 2: ask this all the time, don't we Is the world 1462 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:36,439 Speaker 2: a mess? 1463 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:36,840 Speaker 8: Or? 1464 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,800 Speaker 2: Historically speaking, it's actually no worse than it's ever been. 1465 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 12: No, I think we are in a bit of a 1466 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:46,960 Speaker 12: different era at the moment. We're seeing alignment of four large, 1467 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:54,639 Speaker 12: increasingly aggressive authoritarian powers China, Iran, Russia and North Korea 1468 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 12: who have been very open in their stated and common 1469 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 12: belief that the days of the Western system that Australia 1470 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,840 Speaker 12: and New Zealand have benefited from are coming to an end, 1471 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 12: and that they want to offer a different form of 1472 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 12: global system to many countries in the world.

So the anti racist protesters 1558 01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 2: are out after the racist protesters have been out, So 1559 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:21,760 Speaker 2: you've got a lot of protests going on. 1560 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:27,519 Speaker 16: Yes, it's a summer of protests.

And we're 1567 01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:58,120 Speaker 16: also seeing a kind of re energized Asian population attacking 1568 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,360 Speaker 16: white folk wherever they see them. So it's all very 1569 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 16: jolly over here. 1570 01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,639 Speaker 2: You're to drop by, well said, it's funny you should 1571 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 2: say that we have an issued one yet, but Australia hasn't. 1572 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 2: About four other countries there are sort of travel warnings 1573 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,000 Speaker 2: going out about the UK.

It's been kind 1577 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,280 Speaker 16: of knee jerk. This is the far right, this is 1578 01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:27,680 Speaker 16: the far right. Well, it's not quite. It's both more 1579 01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 16: and less than that, with not an awful lot of 1580 01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:36,000 Speaker 16: it is coming from football hooligans, but that nonetheless, underneath 1581 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:40,320 Speaker 16: all that lies a deep dissatisfaction in the disenfranchised towns 1582 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,400 Speaker 16: of the Northeast and Northwest that they haven't been listened 1583 01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:47,160 Speaker 16: to properly about issues such as immigration, that their towns 1584 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,720 Speaker 16: have changed in front of them and that they've been 1585 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 16: cut out of the equation. There seems to be no 1586 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,240 Speaker 16: shrift whatsoever given to them by Sekir Starmer and that 1587 01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:01,360 Speaker 16: has I think it's effect its opinion poll ratings, which 1588 01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 16: are already well well well down. The Holleymoon is definitely over. 1589 01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,479 Speaker 2: What is the sense of how the police are handling this. 1590 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 16: Not too bad? There is a the allegation that's always 1591 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,559 Speaker 16: been made as this is two tier policing, that whilst 1592 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:22,600 Speaker 16: the police are quite heavy handed when it comes to 1593 01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,439 Speaker 16: dealing with these particular protesters, they were nothing like as 1594 01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 16: bad when the pro Palestinian protesters were in London or 1595 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:36,120 Speaker 16: indeed the Extinction Rebellion protesters. That being said, the Extinction 1596 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 16: Rebellion protesters and the Palestinians didn't on the whole Sephire 1597 01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 16: to cars and try to break down people's doors. So 1598 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,559 Speaker 16: I think the robustness of the police isn't really an 1599 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 16: issue at the moment. 1600 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 2: Is the system able to cope because one of Labour's 1601 01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,720 Speaker 2: policies was to well, the new government's policies was to 1602 01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 2: lit people out of personally because there were too many 1603 01:17:58,000 --> 01:17:59,840 Speaker 2: people in prison and they couldn't hold them anymore. But 1604 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,160 Speaker 2: looking at old Liam Ryan who burst into tears and 1605 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,280 Speaker 2: caught that age forty today to be seent away. If 1606 01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:08,080 Speaker 2: they seen all these people away to jail away, they 1607 01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:09,479 Speaker 2: claim he's a room in the jail of seeing all 1608 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 2: these people away. 1609 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,720 Speaker 16: Well, according to Starmer, he's freed up five hundred and 1610 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,720 Speaker 16: forty odd places in prisons for these people to go to, 1611 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 16: and five hundred and forty should just about to deal 1612 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,120 Speaker 16: with this. So you look at Middlesbrough, which was one 1613 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:29,599 Speaker 16: of the worst riots, forty odd people arrested. My guesses 1614 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,479 Speaker 16: that of those, you know, maybe five to ten will 1615 01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 16: get custodial sentences. So if he's right and he has 1616 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,479 Speaker 16: freed up there, I don't know how he's done that, 1617 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:41,599 Speaker 16: by the way, but if he has freed up five 1618 01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 16: hundred and thirty five hundred and forty places, then he 1619 01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:45,639 Speaker 16: should be just about okay. 1620 01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 2: What about these so called keyboard warriors that the police 1621 01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,679 Speaker 2: keep talking about, and you know, the old Tommy's who's 1622 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,680 Speaker 2: on holiday wherever he's on holiday, do they actually ever 1623 01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 2: catch up with him or is that just just verbiage? 1624 01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:02,519 Speaker 16: I think it's fuge. I mean, they're undoubtedly right that. 1625 01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:06,240 Speaker 16: You know, all of these rights have been organized through Facebook, 1626 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:11,720 Speaker 16: very straightforward. I've seen the Clarion call which went out 1627 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,800 Speaker 16: in Middlesbrough, ill spelled full of emojis, come and fight 1628 01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:20,000 Speaker 16: for Britain, Come and fight for Britain and all that 1629 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:24,479 Speaker 16: kind of stuff. So social media has been absolutely vitally 1630 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 16: dissimilating the message of sedition out to the public. Tommy Robinson, Yeah, 1631 01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 16: he is still I think, selling himself on a beach 1632 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:37,080 Speaker 16: in Cyprus, right. I don't know if he's planning to 1633 01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 16: come back. My guess is if he does come back, 1634 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,400 Speaker 16: he'll probably be arrested, though what for. 1635 01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 8: I'm not sure. 1636 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,599 Speaker 2: Okay, Mike A call Rod. As we've said here talking 1637 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 2: to you on this Thursday morning, when we ring you 1638 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 2: next week, is it over or we still got a problem. 1639 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,400 Speaker 16: I think over. I think over, But we still have 1640 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 16: a problem underneath about the levels of immigration and the 1641 01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,439 Speaker 16: decent people. The person who said me in Middlesbrough yesterday, 1642 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 16: which was there's no sense in torturing cars, there's no 1643 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:10,720 Speaker 16: sense in beating up hard working immigrants who've come here 1644 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:13,599 Speaker 16: and devoted their lives to the community. But we've got 1645 01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,839 Speaker 16: to talk about immigration and stop being called racist. 1646 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 2: What we do, all right, Rob, appreciate it. Rod a 1647 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:22,040 Speaker 2: little back on next Tuesday. It is eighteen minutes away 1648 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 2: from nine. And he was right the other day with 1649 01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,400 Speaker 2: the football. All the people who are going, he's misinformed, 1650 01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 2: and you know it's not the far right and stuff, 1651 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 2: it's football. Thanks. Just have a look at the pictures. 1652 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,120 Speaker 2: It's been the four people who are in jail, go. 1653 01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 2: I told you there was only one the other day 1654 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:37,080 Speaker 2: when I told you to go do it. Have a 1655 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,840 Speaker 2: look at the one. So there's now four. The three 1656 01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,160 Speaker 2: more overnight. Have a look at each and every one 1657 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,719 Speaker 2: of them. Check out. One of them's got a really 1658 01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:47,559 Speaker 2: cool tattoo over his eyebrow that looks quite good. Every 1659 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,719 Speaker 2: single one of them looks exactly the way Rod described 1660 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,880 Speaker 2: them the other day. Speaking of people of that ilk, 1661 01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,640 Speaker 2: Shamima Began, who we haven't mentioned for a while on 1662 01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,240 Speaker 2: the program. She now is going to the European Court 1663 01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,240 Speaker 2: of Human Rights. Why wouldn't she. She's the woman who 1664 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,720 Speaker 2: left in twenty fifteen to go join Islamic State, left 1665 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:12,280 Speaker 2: Britain and then fell in love married an ISIS fighter 1666 01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 2: until she worked out that isis weren't that call? And 1667 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,000 Speaker 2: then she sort of wanted to go back to Britain, 1668 01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 2: but Britain scriptor of her citizenship rights and she goes, 1669 01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:21,880 Speaker 2: that's not fair. So she went to court, got a 1670 01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,400 Speaker 2: lawyer on the taxpayer, of course, and has been arguing 1671 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 2: ever since. Anyway, she's now after the European Court of 1672 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,720 Speaker 2: Human Rights because she wants her citizenship back, because she's 1673 01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:34,719 Speaker 2: woken up and realized the woeful, woeful mistake of her ways. 1674 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,639 Speaker 2: As she lost her final bid overnight on the Supreme Court, 1675 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:42,120 Speaker 2: she cannot appeal again. She lost an appeal last year, 1676 01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,479 Speaker 2: a decision to revoke that citizenship on national security grounds. 1677 01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 2: She was found as a fifteen I mean, the only 1678 01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:51,080 Speaker 2: defense of the only sympathy I've got for her. She 1679 01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 2: was fifteen when she left town. But apart from that, 1680 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,840 Speaker 2: she's going to lose. I don't even know that Britain 1681 01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,479 Speaker 2: necessarily recognizes in any great way shape or formed the 1682 01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 2: European Court of Human Rights. We'll see how they goes 1683 01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:04,240 Speaker 2: and how long it takes. Sixteen Away from nine the. 1684 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:08,720 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard By 1685 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:09,600 Speaker 1: News Talks. 1686 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,519 Speaker 2: Be thirteen away from mine. Yes, Mike, the UK has problems, 1687 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 2: but the youngest medal of Parliament in New Zealand stated 1688 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,280 Speaker 2: in the House yesterday that town's in New Zealand where 1689 01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 2: one can either or not wear blue or red or 1690 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 2: else is just the way it is. OMG, yeah, that's 1691 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 2: the ongoing gang debate. The Parliament was deeply depressing yesterday. 1692 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 2: Labor went down the track of behavior within the government 1693 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,320 Speaker 2: circles and started down that track. I think they've given 1694 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,760 Speaker 2: up on the economy because it's got increasingly embarrassing for 1695 01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:38,880 Speaker 2: them because it's all their fault. Back to the Elaine feedback, Mike, 1696 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:42,800 Speaker 2: somewhere over the Rainbow Party member get sick of hearing 1697 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,800 Speaker 2: this far cheap to cook and season vege, poultry, pork 1698 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 2: pastor and then eat takeaways line. Mike, Can I have 1699 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:52,639 Speaker 2: this woman at my as my math teacher, Mike, your patient? 1700 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,679 Speaker 2: She was hard work, Mike. 1701 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:55,640 Speaker 3: What the f was that? 1702 01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:58,719 Speaker 2: Elaine told us nothing we don't know and then offered 1703 01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 2: dumb solutions. Look, and we had this conversation in the 1704 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 2: eight thirteen years and this is my difficulty these days. 1705 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,639 Speaker 2: I'm becoming I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm 1706 01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:11,080 Speaker 2: becoming an increasingly empathetic and nice person. 1707 01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,200 Speaker 9: And I thought you were going to say contentrous and irritable. 1708 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 2: No, the opposite physically, And so I don't want to 1709 01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,760 Speaker 2: be mean to a person who clearly has goodwill at 1710 01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,799 Speaker 2: a basis. But she said, I can't say she's a professor. 1711 01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:29,240 Speaker 2: She's a professor in a tertiary institution, and that's what 1712 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:33,200 Speaker 2: our children are going to. And she clearly has absolutely 1713 01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,080 Speaker 2: no understanding of one facts and be the wider world 1714 01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:38,680 Speaker 2: when you produce a report. And this is as much 1715 01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:40,800 Speaker 2: our fault as anybody else's, because the media falls for 1716 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:46,200 Speaker 2: this crap every time they do these studies for six years. 1717 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:47,560 Speaker 2: First of all, why are you doing a study for 1718 01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 2: six years? And immediately the moment you put it out, 1719 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 2: it's old. It's the previous six years. And as I 1720 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:58,479 Speaker 2: tried politely to point out, the scenes changed, the food 1721 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:02,160 Speaker 2: prices are dropping. Therefore his study is out of date. 1722 01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:07,720 Speaker 2: Therefore what she's saying is no longer true. And I'm 1723 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 2: thinking of so why are we having. 1724 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,839 Speaker 9: There on the product six year trend trending? 1725 01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:14,000 Speaker 2: Are Trending's over? 1726 01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:18,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, so that the sixty year treat I guess is Also, 1727 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:20,160 Speaker 9: that's because all trends. 1728 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 2: But the Mike costc in twenty twenty four trend is 1729 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,439 Speaker 2: the food's coming down. Are just dealing with facts there. 1730 01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:26,479 Speaker 2: But I'm thinking, why are we doing this? Why do 1731 01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 2: we do this to ourselves? Why does the newsroom keep 1732 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:35,839 Speaker 2: falling for this press release? Whine a thon. 1733 01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:37,960 Speaker 11: You have. 1734 01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 2: Every day there's some winder with yet another press release. 1735 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 2: Tell you what, when all the newsrooms closed down, where 1736 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:48,760 Speaker 2: are they going to go?

So if they don't come back 1779 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,920 Speaker 2: with a Marquee player that's actually playing, will accept Scott. 1780 01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,040 Speaker 2: So that's on me. So if tomorrow you listen, Engage's 1781 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 2: not a Marquee player, he's not even on the field, 1782 01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,040 Speaker 2: don't text me because it's on me. I've made that executive. 1783 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 9: Decisions because Mike's gone soft, and. 1784 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,880 Speaker 2: Mike's gone soft. See, I'm just accommodating everybody. These days. 1785 01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 2: Used to be a high quality program. This is just 1786 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:11,200 Speaker 2: going down the drain, literally in front of my eyes. 1787 01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:14,559 Speaker 2: And it's just because I'm so nice, so caring, so loving, 1788 01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 2: and want to basically do nothing these days except give back. 1789 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,920 Speaker 2: I'm allowing it to happen. Five away from nine. 1790 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:26,280 Speaker 3: Trending now your home of winter assentials. 1791 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:29,160 Speaker 2: Walls is going viral. Crowd loved this bit, and I 1792 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 2: gotta tell you, I can't wait to debate the guy. 1793 01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,920 Speaker 2: So they're into him. Then he said this, that is 1794 01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:43,559 Speaker 2: if he's willing to get off the couch and show up. 1795 01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:51,160 Speaker 2: So what he was referring to there? The rumor is 1796 01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:58,000 Speaker 2: that JD was on a couch with a latex glove 1797 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:06,720 Speaker 2: in between the cushions. What was he doing? I don't know. 1798 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 2: Was the with the cushions dirty or something? 1799 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:12,479 Speaker 9: Yeah? What is he cleaning the cushions? 1800 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 2: He cleaning the cushions. 1801 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:14,400 Speaker 9: Didn't want to get his hands dirty. 1802 01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,160 Speaker 2: The hell's he doing? He's got a latex glove. 1803 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:20,080 Speaker 9: Come on, you're not telling me you don't have any 1804 01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:21,960 Speaker 9: latex clubs at your place. To be fair, we do, 1805 01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 9: andew it we do. 1806 01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:29,080 Speaker 2: We've got big that we've gotten. We've got industrial boxes 1807 01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,439 Speaker 2: of latex clubs. If you said to me, if you're 1808 01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,240 Speaker 2: run in my house, cushions or no cushions, doesn't matter. 1809 01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:36,320 Speaker 2: If you said, hey, can I get my hands on 1810 01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 2: sixty seven latex clubs, I'd go not a problem. 1811 01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,760 Speaker 9: Would have been funnier if you'd said sixty nine late anyway. 1812 01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:48,680 Speaker 2: Left hand cupboard in the laundry anyway. That may or 1813 01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:52,000 Speaker 2: may not be true. But the crowd for JD. Here's 1814 01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,680 Speaker 2: the problem with JD. They'll lap him up at the 1815 01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 2: moment because he's a funny, likable guy. When you watch 1816 01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:00,200 Speaker 2: him speak as I did a lot yesterday. Jove fee 1817 01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:03,719 Speaker 2: much much better than Karmela, way better and more entertaining 1818 01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,680 Speaker 2: and engaging than Karmla. She'll eventually grow to resent that 1819 01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:08,680 Speaker 2: and then tell them to go somewhere and not be 1820 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:12,280 Speaker 2: seen again until But he's lefty. He's such a lefty. 1821 01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:15,479 Speaker 2: She's such a lefty. So we've got two lefties and 1822 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,880 Speaker 2: a latex glove versus the other two. So it's quite 1823 01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:24,040 Speaker 2: the race. Anyway.
