And there's there's just so much to 41 00:02:17,653 --> 00:02:21,493 Speaker 2: research and and and learn about sperm whales. The ahpix 42 00:02:21,573 --> 00:02:23,733 Speaker 2: predator of the ocean. You know, you think it's you 43 00:02:23,733 --> 00:02:27,572 Speaker 2: think it's Kellor whales. Yeah, it's sperm whales. And there 44 00:02:27,813 --> 00:02:31,453 Speaker 2: they're sonar. I think it's called this sperm a city 45 00:02:31,613 --> 00:02:36,213 Speaker 2: organ makes such a loud, clicking noise that they can 46 00:02:36,252 --> 00:02:40,413 Speaker 2: basically stun a giant, a giant you know, a giant 47 00:02:40,413 --> 00:02:43,773 Speaker 2: squid with it. Who they Yeah, and they go. They 48 00:02:43,853 --> 00:02:46,853 Speaker 2: go deep, deeper than any mammal into the water. They 49 00:02:46,853 --> 00:02:49,453 Speaker 2: can go. They can go two and a half kilometers 50 00:02:49,532 --> 00:02:51,773 Speaker 2: under the water. A sperm whale. Their lungs just collapse 51 00:02:52,573 --> 00:02:56,972 Speaker 2: and you know, they sleep like stone hinge under the water. 52 00:02:57,733 --> 00:03:01,053 Speaker 2: They make a noise so loud that it would immediately 53 00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:03,653 Speaker 2: basically crush your skull if you were in front of it, 54 00:03:03,733 --> 00:03:04,373 Speaker 2: if you're a human. 55 00:03:04,453 --> 00:03:05,453 Speaker 3: Oh look a superhero. 56 00:03:05,573 --> 00:03:08,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, they come into an area and every single thing 57 00:03:08,933 --> 00:03:11,093 Speaker 2: in the ocean is terrified because they fire off the 58 00:03:11,173 --> 00:03:14,613 Speaker 2: sonar that's so loud. It tells them everything about everything 59 00:03:14,613 --> 00:03:19,572 Speaker 2: in the area. Incredibly social animals, they're just the apex credators, predators. 60 00:03:19,653 --> 00:03:24,252 Speaker 2: So there is a lot to gain from from YouTube. 61 00:03:24,252 --> 00:03:26,053 Speaker 2: So I just I just I just want to temper 62 00:03:26,093 --> 00:03:28,413 Speaker 2: that because we spend a little last yek week just 63 00:03:29,252 --> 00:03:33,493 Speaker 2: like railing against the Internet and railing against social media. 64 00:03:33,573 --> 00:03:35,293 Speaker 3: You just got to find the good stuff. Yeah, and 65 00:03:35,413 --> 00:03:38,133 Speaker 3: like you, you went knee deep into the sperm whale 66 00:03:38,173 --> 00:03:40,293 Speaker 3: that's the good stuff. That's the little bit of gold 67 00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:42,413 Speaker 3: that you can find if you dig, dig a little 68 00:03:42,453 --> 00:03:43,573 Speaker 3: bit deeper from the surface. 69 00:03:43,693 --> 00:03:46,173 Speaker 2: And each group of sperm whales in the different area 70 00:03:46,213 --> 00:03:48,533 Speaker 2: has a different dialect, like different human languages. 71 00:03:48,653 --> 00:03:52,613 Speaker 3: Well they got accents. So the Norwegian sperm whale sonars 72 00:03:52,613 --> 00:03:54,172 Speaker 3: differently than the New Zealand spoon whale. 73 00:03:54,213 --> 00:03:56,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can tell the difference between them. They're incredible, 74 00:03:56,173 --> 00:03:56,813 Speaker 2: the incredible. 75 00:03:56,893 --> 00:03:58,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, you got the name of the docco or you 76 00:03:58,573 --> 00:03:59,493 Speaker 3: watch several dogs. 77 00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:02,493 Speaker 2: I watched so many different doccos and so many marine 78 00:04:02,533 --> 00:04:07,173 Speaker 2: biology channels. I just got into it. They hunting of 79 00:04:07,173 --> 00:04:10,493 Speaker 2: the giant and colossal square, those epic battles that they 80 00:04:10,533 --> 00:04:14,213 Speaker 2: have deep below the surface, fascinating stuff against the kraken. 81 00:04:14,373 --> 00:04:16,613 Speaker 3: I feel like I wasted my weekends. I'm going to 82 00:04:16,613 --> 00:04:20,653 Speaker 3: get into spoon whale videos. Obviously great, Right, let's get 83 00:04:20,653 --> 00:04:24,653 Speaker 3: into today's show after three o'clock. A great investigation by 84 00:04:24,693 --> 00:04:27,773 Speaker 3: Jared Savage in the New Zealand Herald points to allegations 85 00:04:27,853 --> 00:04:31,173 Speaker 3: jail gang members are continuing to run major drug smuggling 86 00:04:31,173 --> 00:04:35,213 Speaker 3: operations from behind bars by directing corrupt airport workers. So 87 00:04:35,253 --> 00:04:40,133 Speaker 3: authorities claim two influential inmates used smuggled mobile phones to 88 00:04:40,253 --> 00:04:44,373 Speaker 3: coordinate shipments of methamphetamine into the country, relying on compromised 89 00:04:44,373 --> 00:04:48,893 Speaker 3: staff at Auckland Airport to bypass security and retrieve drugs 90 00:04:48,933 --> 00:04:51,613 Speaker 3: from incoming flights. The operation is part of a wider 91 00:04:51,653 --> 00:04:55,733 Speaker 3: transnational crime network involving gangs, with police and customs describing 92 00:04:55,733 --> 00:04:59,853 Speaker 3: it as significant and a sophisticated system that exploits both 93 00:04:59,893 --> 00:05:02,933 Speaker 3: the prison and airport processes in this country. 94 00:05:03,093 --> 00:05:06,133 Speaker 2: So you lock someone up, right, you take away their freedom, 95 00:05:06,293 --> 00:05:08,613 Speaker 2: you sit around them with walls, you are guar, you've 96 00:05:08,613 --> 00:05:12,053 Speaker 2: got raizer wire, and yet somehow these guys are still 97 00:05:12,093 --> 00:05:13,853 Speaker 2: running international drug operations. 98 00:05:13,933 --> 00:05:15,853 Speaker 3: Unreal, isn't it. Yeah, it's like a movie. 99 00:05:16,053 --> 00:05:21,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, and how infiltrated Our airports are twenty twenty If 100 00:05:21,253 --> 00:05:25,693 Speaker 2: you think about twenty people just last year. That's that 101 00:05:25,853 --> 00:05:29,253 Speaker 2: is a hugely porous customs situation. 102 00:05:29,293 --> 00:05:31,013 Speaker 3: Now, I don't know what percentage that is, but it's 103 00:05:31,013 --> 00:05:33,253 Speaker 3: got to be relatively high. How many baggage handlers are 104 00:05:33,253 --> 00:05:35,773 Speaker 3: there in the country, I mean just on one airport alone. Yeah, 105 00:05:35,813 --> 00:05:39,093 Speaker 3: it feels like a good percentage that has been compromised 106 00:05:39,093 --> 00:05:39,693 Speaker 3: by the gangs. 107 00:05:39,813 --> 00:05:42,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that may be why fuel prices are incredibly 108 00:05:42,653 --> 00:05:45,133 Speaker 2: high in New Zealand, but cocaine prices are plumbting. 109 00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:46,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So we're going to have a chat to 110 00:05:46,893 --> 00:05:49,173 Speaker 3: you about that after three o'clock and also speak to 111 00:05:49,293 --> 00:05:52,693 Speaker 3: Jared Savage himself looking forward to that after two o'clock. 112 00:05:53,013 --> 00:05:55,613 Speaker 3: The upcoming Auckland Travel Show is betting on a shift 113 00:05:55,653 --> 00:05:58,933 Speaker 3: in Kiwi spinning habits with more people. They reckon choosing 114 00:05:59,013 --> 00:06:02,733 Speaker 3: overseas travel instead of pouring money into home renovations. This 115 00:06:02,853 --> 00:06:05,253 Speaker 3: is despite ongoing cost of living pressures for some people. 116 00:06:05,493 --> 00:06:09,253 Speaker 3: There is strong demand, they say, for holidays, prioritizing experiences 117 00:06:09,613 --> 00:06:12,773 Speaker 3: over those property upgrades, and it argues that reflects a 118 00:06:12,773 --> 00:06:17,533 Speaker 3: broader modern mindset. People want or are increasingly valuing those 119 00:06:17,573 --> 00:06:23,813 Speaker 3: life experiences over something like redoing the kitchen. Hedonic adaptation, right, 120 00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:27,093 Speaker 3: So if you redo the kitchen, you'll be happy briefly 121 00:06:27,133 --> 00:06:29,253 Speaker 3: for it, and then that luxury will become standard and 122 00:06:29,293 --> 00:06:30,813 Speaker 3: you'll forget about it, and that's your life and you 123 00:06:30,813 --> 00:06:33,053 Speaker 3: won't really enjoy it anymore. The joy is short lived 124 00:06:33,133 --> 00:06:34,333 Speaker 3: if you spend. 125 00:06:34,013 --> 00:06:36,493 Speaker 2: That money on a holiday, and people say that's a 126 00:06:36,533 --> 00:06:40,333 Speaker 2: bad investment because the kitchen upgrades the quality of your 127 00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:42,773 Speaker 2: house and the resale value of your house. Right, Yes, 128 00:06:42,893 --> 00:06:47,573 Speaker 2: you're upgrading your asset. Right, but you will look back 129 00:06:47,613 --> 00:06:51,373 Speaker 2: on that holiday fondly the forever, and it'll grow in 130 00:06:51,413 --> 00:06:54,093 Speaker 2: your memory to be a very important part of your life. Yes, 131 00:06:54,253 --> 00:06:56,813 Speaker 2: and God knows you can. We're here by the grace 132 00:06:56,813 --> 00:06:59,173 Speaker 2: of God. It could be gone tomorrow, right, very true. 133 00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:01,213 Speaker 2: So you may miss out on ever seeing much you 134 00:07:01,253 --> 00:07:05,573 Speaker 2: peach you or whatever. So it's just an interesting idea 135 00:07:06,053 --> 00:07:09,853 Speaker 2: whether you get more out of something on let's say, 136 00:07:09,973 --> 00:07:15,733 Speaker 2: renovation or international travel memories over objects. 137 00:07:15,853 --> 00:07:18,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, looking forward to your thoughts on that after two o'clock. 138 00:07:18,573 --> 00:07:21,573 Speaker 3: But right now, let's have a chat about politics and relationships. 139 00:07:21,613 --> 00:07:24,293 Speaker 3: A recent article in The Sunday Times over in the 140 00:07:24,373 --> 00:07:27,533 Speaker 3: UK argues that for many people, modern dating has become 141 00:07:27,813 --> 00:07:31,093 Speaker 3: an ideological mindfield, where political beliefs can matter just as 142 00:07:31,173 --> 00:07:33,813 Speaker 3: much as personality. What was once a better way to 143 00:07:33,853 --> 00:07:36,973 Speaker 3: understand someone's value is now often a deal breaker, according 144 00:07:37,013 --> 00:07:39,933 Speaker 3: to the author, with differences and opinions seen less as 145 00:07:40,013 --> 00:07:43,213 Speaker 3: something to navigate and more as a fundamental moral divide. 146 00:07:43,253 --> 00:07:45,413 Speaker 3: And at the same time, a growing political gap between 147 00:07:45,413 --> 00:07:48,693 Speaker 3: men and women is making connection harder, with more women 148 00:07:48,893 --> 00:07:52,413 Speaker 3: tending to lean left and more men shifting rights. So 149 00:07:52,533 --> 00:07:55,733 Speaker 3: our politics getting in the way of relationships. 150 00:07:55,973 --> 00:07:58,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, so more and more young people are refusing to 151 00:07:58,693 --> 00:08:01,773 Speaker 2: date people who don't agree with them politically, which massively 152 00:08:01,773 --> 00:08:06,173 Speaker 2: limits the dating pool because historically and currently women naturally 153 00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:09,773 Speaker 2: lean left a little bit more lead. I mean, there's variation, 154 00:08:09,933 --> 00:08:15,653 Speaker 2: and men historically lean more right it, yes, but this 155 00:08:15,693 --> 00:08:18,373 Speaker 2: is more and ever with young men have moved. This 156 00:08:18,493 --> 00:08:20,493 Speaker 2: is stats out of the United States, So I'm not 157 00:08:20,493 --> 00:08:23,173 Speaker 2: sure if anyone's done an investigation here, but in this 158 00:08:23,293 --> 00:08:26,053 Speaker 2: fantastic book on charts that have read from Professor Scott 159 00:08:26,053 --> 00:08:29,413 Speaker 2: Galloway anyway, yep, with young males have slightly moved to 160 00:08:29,453 --> 00:08:33,813 Speaker 2: the right, but young women have moved significantly to the left. 161 00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:34,213 Speaker 5: Yes. 162 00:08:34,493 --> 00:08:36,933 Speaker 2: So in a world where people struggle to find a 163 00:08:36,973 --> 00:08:40,213 Speaker 2: partner already, is this going to lead to more and 164 00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:43,413 Speaker 2: more lonely people who put that other caveat on them. 165 00:08:43,653 --> 00:08:46,532 Speaker 2: So you're already sort of socially isolated, but then you're 166 00:08:46,813 --> 00:08:51,533 Speaker 2: dating pool. They have to agree with you plitically, when 167 00:08:51,693 --> 00:08:54,813 Speaker 2: if they got together, they may have had a great 168 00:08:54,852 --> 00:08:58,133 Speaker 2: life together despite differences. In fact, they might find some 169 00:08:58,252 --> 00:09:00,493 Speaker 2: kind of middle ground that is closer to the truth 170 00:09:01,173 --> 00:09:03,813 Speaker 2: across their life because they don't have to agree. Do 171 00:09:03,852 --> 00:09:05,893 Speaker 2: they own politics, They don't have to. They don't have 172 00:09:05,933 --> 00:09:09,213 Speaker 2: to talk politics much at the time. But a relationship 173 00:09:09,333 --> 00:09:12,612 Speaker 2: is having someone you respect that you reckon with right 174 00:09:12,612 --> 00:09:15,373 Speaker 2: across your life, right, so you listen and try to 175 00:09:15,492 --> 00:09:18,412 Speaker 2: understand them across a number of issues. Politics would be 176 00:09:19,252 --> 00:09:21,693 Speaker 2: be a small part of it, But any relationship, there's 177 00:09:21,732 --> 00:09:23,533 Speaker 2: a number of things that you're going to have to 178 00:09:23,573 --> 00:09:25,693 Speaker 2: get to know and understand about them when it comes 179 00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:27,933 Speaker 2: to you know, how you deal with the kids, how 180 00:09:27,973 --> 00:09:29,933 Speaker 2: you deal with it with a lot of things, how 181 00:09:29,973 --> 00:09:33,013 Speaker 2: you decide how you're going to spend spend your money. 182 00:09:33,053 --> 00:09:35,573 Speaker 2: So I'll just be interested. Is it possible to be 183 00:09:35,612 --> 00:09:39,013 Speaker 2: in a relationship with someone that you don't align with politically? 184 00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:41,813 Speaker 2: You know? And one hundred and eighty teen to eighty 185 00:09:41,852 --> 00:09:43,133 Speaker 2: Do you vote differently? 186 00:09:43,612 --> 00:09:43,852 Speaker 3: Yeah? 187 00:09:44,093 --> 00:09:44,453 Speaker 5: Do you do? 188 00:09:44,492 --> 00:09:46,533 Speaker 2: You vote differently from your partner? Do you even know 189 00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,492 Speaker 2: what the way your partner votes? Is it even your 190 00:09:49,533 --> 00:09:54,053 Speaker 2: business which way your partner is politically aligned? This Texas says, 191 00:09:54,213 --> 00:09:56,733 Speaker 2: my partner doesn't know how I vote, and I don't 192 00:09:56,813 --> 00:10:00,172 Speaker 2: know how she votes. Totally private politics is something we 193 00:10:00,213 --> 00:10:02,373 Speaker 2: don't discuss unless, of course it's happening in the US. 194 00:10:03,173 --> 00:10:05,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, But I actually agree with that that 195 00:10:05,413 --> 00:10:08,933 Speaker 3: Texter is I don't know which way my partner may 196 00:10:08,973 --> 00:10:11,492 Speaker 3: have will vote in this coming election, and I would 197 00:10:11,492 --> 00:10:13,612 Speaker 3: hope she wouldn't asked me which way I'm going to vote, 198 00:10:13,612 --> 00:10:16,292 Speaker 3: because it doesn't really matter. We can have robust discussions, 199 00:10:16,293 --> 00:10:18,413 Speaker 3: and I think she thinks very differently to why that 200 00:10:18,533 --> 00:10:20,372 Speaker 3: I do on a lot of issues, But that to 201 00:10:20,372 --> 00:10:23,093 Speaker 3: me is healthy. But in terms of locking it down 202 00:10:23,132 --> 00:10:25,493 Speaker 3: and saying right, Tyler, tell me how you're going to vote, 203 00:10:25,492 --> 00:10:28,333 Speaker 3: I just wouldn't say. I just don't think that is 204 00:10:28,892 --> 00:10:30,732 Speaker 3: something she needs to necessarily know. 205 00:10:31,533 --> 00:10:33,453 Speaker 2: The only reason why you might need to find out 206 00:10:33,612 --> 00:10:36,973 Speaker 2: which way your partner votes, because if she's voting opposite 207 00:10:36,973 --> 00:10:39,413 Speaker 2: from you, then you can nullify each other and you 208 00:10:39,413 --> 00:10:42,292 Speaker 2: don't have to go to the polling vote, save a 209 00:10:42,333 --> 00:10:44,453 Speaker 2: lot of time on And I'm voting that way. 210 00:10:44,533 --> 00:10:47,813 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's have our Saturday morning to ourselves. But what 211 00:10:47,852 --> 00:10:50,053 Speaker 3: do you say? Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty 212 00:10:50,653 --> 00:10:53,093 Speaker 3: share your views? The text number is nine two nine 213 00:10:53,213 --> 00:10:56,012 Speaker 3: two as well. It is sixteen past one. You're listening 214 00:10:56,012 --> 00:10:58,093 Speaker 3: to the news talks, the b the. 215 00:10:57,933 --> 00:11:01,852 Speaker 1: Big stories, the big issues, the big trends and everything 216 00:11:01,892 --> 00:11:06,132 Speaker 1: in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons used talks'. 217 00:11:05,773 --> 00:11:09,533 Speaker 3: B nineteen past one are differing political believes driving people 218 00:11:09,573 --> 00:11:11,693 Speaker 3: apart romantically. Oh eight, one hundred eighty ten eighty is 219 00:11:11,693 --> 00:11:12,293 Speaker 3: the number to call. 220 00:11:12,293 --> 00:11:14,173 Speaker 2: The sixer is if you don't know how your partner's 221 00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:16,973 Speaker 2: going to vote, you don't really know them at all. Interesting. 222 00:11:17,293 --> 00:11:18,933 Speaker 3: I don't know if I agree with that. I mean, 223 00:11:18,973 --> 00:11:21,052 Speaker 3: I know roughly which way she's going to vote, but 224 00:11:21,093 --> 00:11:22,372 Speaker 3: I don't really care. At the end of the day, 225 00:11:22,413 --> 00:11:25,372 Speaker 3: that's her decision, and she's had a look at all 226 00:11:25,413 --> 00:11:27,573 Speaker 3: the evidence she needs to ahead of November the seventh. 227 00:11:27,653 --> 00:11:30,813 Speaker 3: Whatever way she goes, it doesn't matter to me, honestly. 228 00:11:30,892 --> 00:11:33,133 Speaker 3: I mean she should, She could go for the craziest 229 00:11:33,132 --> 00:11:36,292 Speaker 3: party in New Zealand, and even then it wouldn't really 230 00:11:36,413 --> 00:11:37,493 Speaker 3: change the way that I see her. 231 00:11:37,573 --> 00:11:39,453 Speaker 2: Don't you want some kind of freedom of thought within 232 00:11:39,453 --> 00:11:42,412 Speaker 2: a relationship? Yeah, that they feel that. I think a 233 00:11:42,492 --> 00:11:44,772 Speaker 2: vote is something that's very private to you, and how 234 00:11:44,813 --> 00:11:47,973 Speaker 2: they arrive with you know, arrive at where they're going 235 00:11:48,012 --> 00:11:50,973 Speaker 2: to vote or not, it's really none of your business, right, Yeah, 236 00:11:51,173 --> 00:11:51,853 Speaker 2: that's what I say. 237 00:11:51,852 --> 00:11:53,252 Speaker 3: What do you say, though, I eight one hundred and 238 00:11:53,252 --> 00:11:54,973 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 239 00:11:55,132 --> 00:11:57,053 Speaker 2: I don't think left or right. I think what works 240 00:11:57,093 --> 00:11:59,453 Speaker 2: and what is right. Unfortunately I'm in a serious minority. Yeah, 241 00:11:59,492 --> 00:12:01,293 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's true as well, the idea that 242 00:12:01,372 --> 00:12:03,732 Speaker 2: you someone's on the left and someone is the right, 243 00:12:03,773 --> 00:12:06,013 Speaker 2: and then you just inherit all the views of the left, 244 00:12:06,132 --> 00:12:07,813 Speaker 2: or you just inherit all the views of the right 245 00:12:07,813 --> 00:12:10,813 Speaker 2: without making up a decision. Surely the most sane people 246 00:12:11,333 --> 00:12:15,453 Speaker 2: look at every issue and evaluate it outside of party lines. 247 00:12:15,533 --> 00:12:18,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so true. But in nuance, Terry, what's your 248 00:12:18,973 --> 00:12:19,412 Speaker 3: thoughts on this? 249 00:12:20,933 --> 00:12:24,093 Speaker 6: Yeah, So my wife and I we sort of our 250 00:12:24,132 --> 00:12:26,333 Speaker 6: big thing is that most of our thought process, I 251 00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:29,013 Speaker 6: suppose of things the major policies that go behind the 252 00:12:29,012 --> 00:12:31,973 Speaker 6: politics rather than actually a party. But how the politics 253 00:12:31,973 --> 00:12:34,532 Speaker 6: and their their policies are sort of. 254 00:12:34,533 --> 00:12:35,333 Speaker 7: Sinking the line. 255 00:12:35,453 --> 00:12:38,933 Speaker 6: So although from her view, she's not really interested in 256 00:12:39,053 --> 00:12:41,813 Speaker 6: political politics, so per say, she just sort of says, 257 00:12:41,813 --> 00:12:45,693 Speaker 6: all how we vote, you know, when we have when 258 00:12:45,693 --> 00:12:50,693 Speaker 6: we have general discussions, she sort of aligns our discussions. 259 00:12:50,252 --> 00:12:52,893 Speaker 7: Seemed to align reasonably well. 260 00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:56,573 Speaker 6: But if she decided to vote for someone else. I 261 00:12:56,612 --> 00:12:59,252 Speaker 6: wouldn't take exception to it, but it is nice having 262 00:12:59,252 --> 00:13:02,253 Speaker 6: that feeling that we're both on a moral and ethical 263 00:13:02,333 --> 00:13:04,813 Speaker 6: and policy view. 264 00:13:04,892 --> 00:13:06,813 Speaker 7: We are, we are aligned, So it don't. 265 00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:09,132 Speaker 2: Help with the Yeah, I guess time where the rubber 266 00:13:09,173 --> 00:13:11,773 Speaker 2: hits the road is things like kids, when it comes 267 00:13:11,813 --> 00:13:17,253 Speaker 2: to decisions about your children.

Yes, yeah, yeah, 644 00:29:51,373 --> 00:29:53,053 Speaker 2: I mean I think you can have a discussion about 645 00:29:53,093 --> 00:29:57,813 Speaker 2: things generally without going who did you vote for? 646 00:29:58,173 --> 00:29:58,413 Speaker 5: Yeah? 647 00:29:58,493 --> 00:30:00,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I just think it's a private thing.

You know, that's her decision to make, 650 00:30:07,093 --> 00:30:08,813 Speaker 3: and as you say, it's not going to be make 651 00:30:08,893 --> 00:30:11,213 Speaker 3: me think less of her if I find out she 652 00:30:11,293 --> 00:30:13,893 Speaker 3: votes for a party I don't agree with. That's kind 653 00:30:13,893 --> 00:30:15,613 Speaker 3: of her decision to make, and i'd expect the same 654 00:30:15,653 --> 00:30:19,773 Speaker 3: in return. But again, you know, the disagreements within a household, 655 00:30:19,773 --> 00:30:22,333 Speaker 3: to me is kind of is a healthier way to 656 00:30:22,373 --> 00:30:25,693 Speaker 3: look at it in my view. This Texas says, Yet, hey, guys, 657 00:30:26,933 --> 00:30:29,453 Speaker 3: I don't know which way the wife votes.

Yeah, fair enough to this Textas says 662 00:30:38,853 --> 00:30:41,693 Speaker 2: Winston Churchill once said I would expect most people under 663 00:30:41,693 --> 00:30:43,933 Speaker 2: the age of thirty five to be liberal minded. If, however, 664 00:30:44,213 --> 00:30:46,853 Speaker 2: they are still liberal later in life, I should show 665 00:30:46,893 --> 00:30:49,773 Speaker 2: you a full if you are not liberal minded when 666 00:30:49,813 --> 00:30:52,093 Speaker 2: you're young. I think the quote is you have no heart. 667 00:30:52,173 --> 00:30:54,173 Speaker 2: If you are not a conservative when you are old, 668 00:30:54,253 --> 00:30:56,933 Speaker 2: you have no brain. That is like a lot of 669 00:30:56,973 --> 00:31:01,133 Speaker 2: quotes attributed to Winston Churchill. I'm not sure if he 670 00:31:01,173 --> 00:31:03,053 Speaker 2: said it. Do you know what's interesting when they actually 671 00:31:03,253 --> 00:31:06,013 Speaker 2: work out what leads people to be conservative, it's not 672 00:31:06,093 --> 00:31:08,733 Speaker 2: so much age. It's having children. 673 00:31:08,933 --> 00:31:09,133 Speaker 20: Yep. 674 00:31:09,253 --> 00:31:13,413 Speaker 2: So the biggest factor in someone becoming more conservative is. 675 00:31:14,213 --> 00:31:15,693 Speaker 3: Children, right? And why is that? 676 00:31:16,213 --> 00:31:16,373 Speaker 2: Ah? 677 00:31:16,893 --> 00:31:17,853 Speaker 3: I guess you. 678 00:31:18,533 --> 00:31:22,093 Speaker 2: Have more skin in the games, so you want things 679 00:31:22,093 --> 00:31:24,653 Speaker 2: to be more stable before you have children. You know, 680 00:31:25,293 --> 00:31:28,773 Speaker 2: you might be more willing to shake things up. 681 00:31:29,053 --> 00:31:29,253 Speaker 3: Yep. 682 00:31:29,413 --> 00:31:36,213 Speaker 2: But conservative politics, you know, supporting institutions and and you 683 00:31:36,253 --> 00:31:40,373 Speaker 2: know conservative fiscal policy becomes more attractive to people once 684 00:31:40,413 --> 00:31:40,933 Speaker 2: they have kids. 685 00:31:41,013 --> 00:31:44,053 Speaker 3: So also the element that maybe you know, when you 686 00:31:44,053 --> 00:31:47,333 Speaker 3: have kids and you start to realize that the government 687 00:31:47,933 --> 00:31:50,733 Speaker 3: is not going to save you, that it's up to 688 00:31:50,813 --> 00:31:53,933 Speaker 3: you to try and save yourself. That the ability when 689 00:31:54,013 --> 00:31:57,373 Speaker 3: kids come along. Obviously you're thinking outside of just yourself. 690 00:31:57,773 --> 00:31:59,853 Speaker 3: And if you live long enough and you realize, right, 691 00:31:59,893 --> 00:32:02,133 Speaker 3: the government hasn't saved me much in my life. The 692 00:32:02,173 --> 00:32:04,453 Speaker 3: only thing that saved me is working hard and doing 693 00:32:04,453 --> 00:32:07,293 Speaker 3: what I need to do personal responsibility. Then that starts 694 00:32:07,333 --> 00:32:10,213 Speaker 3: to shift you a little bit more conservative rather than 695 00:32:10,253 --> 00:32:13,413 Speaker 3: the left way of thinking, which arguably is that the 696 00:32:13,413 --> 00:32:15,533 Speaker 3: government there is a safety need and they have levers 697 00:32:15,573 --> 00:32:18,853 Speaker 3: to pull, whereas conservative is more it's up to you 698 00:32:19,773 --> 00:32:21,173 Speaker 3: to try and make a good life for yourself. 699 00:32:21,253 --> 00:32:22,933 Speaker 2: Do you think it's a coincidence that there's left and 700 00:32:23,013 --> 00:32:26,853 Speaker 2: right that that have those two views, and maybe that 701 00:32:27,013 --> 00:32:30,413 Speaker 2: is the eternal battle between the two and the middle 702 00:32:30,453 --> 00:32:34,253 Speaker 2: ground is a middle ground and once in direction is 703 00:32:34,293 --> 00:32:36,533 Speaker 2: actually the right path to take. And that's why we 704 00:32:36,573 --> 00:32:40,533 Speaker 2: have left and right politics that it's this battle because 705 00:32:40,933 --> 00:32:44,053 Speaker 2: you know, complete libertarianism isn't great when your house is 706 00:32:44,053 --> 00:32:46,133 Speaker 2: on fire. Right, Yes, you have to live a negated 707 00:32:46,173 --> 00:32:47,853 Speaker 2: village and put out your own files, all those kind 708 00:32:47,893 --> 00:32:50,573 Speaker 2: of things, you know. Yeah, but if a complete government 709 00:32:50,733 --> 00:32:55,133 Speaker 2: is the horrors of Stalin and Mao. Right, Yeah, So 710 00:32:55,173 --> 00:32:58,773 Speaker 2: when the government completely takes control, it's it's horrible. It's 711 00:32:58,773 --> 00:33:01,893 Speaker 2: somewhere somewhere to get to right. Yeah, So maybe that's 712 00:33:02,093 --> 00:33:04,973 Speaker 2: and maybe that's supposed to be the battle and relationships 713 00:33:05,013 --> 00:33:05,373 Speaker 2: as well. 714 00:33:05,893 --> 00:33:08,253 Speaker 3: But the thing's a fair analogy, and so across. 715 00:33:07,933 --> 00:33:10,453 Speaker 2: Time and have tended to be a little bit left 716 00:33:10,773 --> 00:33:12,293 Speaker 2: and men have tended to be a little bit right, 717 00:33:12,333 --> 00:33:15,613 Speaker 2: and somewhere they find a way through. That means that 718 00:33:15,653 --> 00:33:18,413 Speaker 2: you can bring up upstanding children into the world. 719 00:33:18,493 --> 00:33:21,293 Speaker 3: Sounds healthy to me. Oh, eight hundred just the theory. 720 00:33:21,373 --> 00:33:21,573 Speaker 20: Yeah. 721 00:33:21,573 --> 00:33:23,893 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that number to call? 722 00:33:24,013 --> 00:33:25,693 Speaker 3: It is twelve minutes to two. 723 00:33:27,053 --> 00:33:30,253 Speaker 1: Mad Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on. Oh, eight 724 00:33:30,333 --> 00:33:33,133 Speaker 1: hundred eighty ten eighty. It's mad Heathen Tylor Adams. 725 00:33:33,293 --> 00:33:37,853 Speaker 3: Afternoons News Talks EDB, News Talks, EDB. It is ten 726 00:33:37,973 --> 00:33:41,493 Speaker 3: to two. So camp politics get in the way of romance. 727 00:33:41,773 --> 00:33:43,653 Speaker 3: And if you think differently to your partner, how do 728 00:33:43,693 --> 00:33:45,373 Speaker 3: you work it in your home? Oh, eight hundred eighty 729 00:33:45,453 --> 00:33:46,813 Speaker 3: ten eighty is the number to call if you want 730 00:33:46,853 --> 00:33:49,253 Speaker 3: to send a text. Nine two nine to two is 731 00:33:49,373 --> 00:33:53,413 Speaker 3: that text number? A couple of texts coming through. Hey guys, 732 00:33:53,453 --> 00:33:55,133 Speaker 3: I used to be with someone for nine years who 733 00:33:55,213 --> 00:33:57,693 Speaker 3: wasn't at all a bad person. Opposites may attract, but 734 00:33:57,773 --> 00:33:59,973 Speaker 3: in the end it can wear you down. She voted 735 00:33:59,973 --> 00:34:02,853 Speaker 3: for labor because just Sinda had a smiley face. That 736 00:34:03,173 --> 00:34:07,493 Speaker 3: was one of three final straws for me. That's from 737 00:34:07,653 --> 00:34:11,133 Speaker 3: John in this one high met entiler re politics and partnerships. 738 00:34:11,133 --> 00:34:14,253 Speaker 3: All politicians and all such supporters, inclusive of all voters 739 00:34:14,293 --> 00:34:18,573 Speaker 3: should be institutionalized long term in mental confinement. This is 740 00:34:18,733 --> 00:34:24,133 Speaker 3: because they're all delusional and based upon those who are 741 00:34:24,133 --> 00:34:27,053 Speaker 3: harmed to themselves or others. That's from Rob. Keep those 742 00:34:27,053 --> 00:34:30,093 Speaker 3: texts coming through A nine two ninety two. Dean, what's 743 00:34:30,133 --> 00:34:30,773 Speaker 3: your take on this? 744 00:34:32,053 --> 00:34:34,133 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, look, I basically what. 745 00:34:34,253 --> 00:34:37,652 Speaker 21: Made me ring was those two texts said by I 746 00:34:37,773 --> 00:34:40,773 Speaker 21: forget the exact wording that either it's not if you're 747 00:34:40,813 --> 00:34:43,013 Speaker 21: not read, you're not in bed or something. 748 00:34:42,773 --> 00:34:45,172 Speaker 2: Like that, vote read or no bed. 749 00:34:46,013 --> 00:34:46,212 Speaker 7: Yes. 750 00:34:47,213 --> 00:34:52,253 Speaker 21: Look, it's always just found in me that people they 751 00:34:52,253 --> 00:34:56,293 Speaker 21: don't care, they don't really don't look at at policies 752 00:34:56,373 --> 00:35:00,293 Speaker 21: or that's no one's procedures. They just vote. That's the 753 00:35:00,293 --> 00:35:02,773 Speaker 21: way they've voted, and that's the way they'll always vote. 754 00:35:02,933 --> 00:35:07,453 Speaker 21: I mean very we're very tribal in this country, and 755 00:35:07,733 --> 00:35:11,733 Speaker 21: I just think that people should look at what's good 756 00:35:11,813 --> 00:35:14,653 Speaker 21: for the country. Not it's good for them, but what's 757 00:35:14,693 --> 00:35:17,253 Speaker 21: good for the country was long term that will be 758 00:35:17,293 --> 00:35:18,293 Speaker 21: good for them. 759 00:35:18,333 --> 00:35:21,933 Speaker 3: Do you think we were always that tribal, Dean, Yeah, 760 00:35:21,933 --> 00:35:22,253 Speaker 3: well I. 761 00:35:22,253 --> 00:35:25,533 Speaker 21: Do, and I and I actually understand why. I know, 762 00:35:25,653 --> 00:35:29,333 Speaker 21: I know, like I came from a very strong labor family. 763 00:35:30,653 --> 00:35:34,293 Speaker 21: My father, Woul was a warfee and you know, basically 764 00:35:34,373 --> 00:35:38,212 Speaker 21: hated the National Party with the lockouts and things like that. 765 00:35:39,453 --> 00:35:42,693 Speaker 21: So I I see that, and I mean, you know, 766 00:35:45,133 --> 00:35:47,733 Speaker 21: but I you know, I've voted labor in the past, 767 00:35:47,773 --> 00:35:51,093 Speaker 21: and I may vote for labor in the future, but 768 00:35:51,373 --> 00:35:53,933 Speaker 21: you know, at the moment, I vote National and I'm 769 00:35:54,013 --> 00:35:57,773 Speaker 21: leaning towards that. But the thing is that if I 770 00:35:57,813 --> 00:35:59,853 Speaker 21: think that labor is going to do a better job, 771 00:36:00,253 --> 00:36:02,813 Speaker 21: then I'd vote for them. 772 00:36:02,933 --> 00:36:05,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like I think it's getting worse, the 773 00:36:05,453 --> 00:36:07,692 Speaker 3: trouble nature of it, Dean. I might be wrong there, 774 00:36:07,693 --> 00:36:09,652 Speaker 3: but that's just the feeling I've got. But like you, 775 00:36:09,773 --> 00:36:14,013 Speaker 3: I think whatever way that you lean politically is only 776 00:36:14,093 --> 00:36:17,213 Speaker 3: the tiniest, tiniest part of who you are. And it 777 00:36:17,293 --> 00:36:19,613 Speaker 3: just seems to be more and more often people are 778 00:36:19,653 --> 00:36:23,453 Speaker 3: attributing their whole personality to the way that they vote 779 00:36:23,493 --> 00:36:25,373 Speaker 3: and I've never understood that, and I don't think I 780 00:36:25,413 --> 00:36:28,212 Speaker 3: will ever understand that. It's just not a massive part 781 00:36:28,653 --> 00:36:31,253 Speaker 3: of my life outside of these walls, you know, is 782 00:36:31,293 --> 00:36:34,133 Speaker 3: that I have my thoughts and thinking about the direction 783 00:36:34,253 --> 00:36:37,933 Speaker 3: of the country. But you know, I spend outside of 784 00:36:37,933 --> 00:36:40,773 Speaker 3: these walls. I probably spend five to seven percent of 785 00:36:40,773 --> 00:36:43,373 Speaker 3: my life talking about politics. It's just not a big thing. 786 00:36:44,053 --> 00:36:47,773 Speaker 21: That probably you know, I mean, I mean, and you're 787 00:36:47,813 --> 00:36:51,213 Speaker 21: probably you know, in your in your job, you've probably 788 00:36:51,533 --> 00:36:54,652 Speaker 21: got to I suppose at times. But yeah, it's just 789 00:36:55,293 --> 00:36:57,973 Speaker 21: I mean, I just the whole the whole thing is 790 00:36:58,773 --> 00:37:01,333 Speaker 21: is you know, people they're just people are just so 791 00:37:01,613 --> 00:37:05,093 Speaker 21: bloody minded about it, so they won't you know, that 792 00:37:05,213 --> 00:37:07,812 Speaker 21: they're either this way or they're that. Never the Twain 793 00:37:07,893 --> 00:37:10,693 Speaker 21: shall meet. And as far as those two texts that 794 00:37:10,733 --> 00:37:13,373 Speaker 21: you've got, the ones you're realy out straight together. Man, 795 00:37:13,453 --> 00:37:14,973 Speaker 21: if I was if I was going out with a 796 00:37:15,013 --> 00:37:17,573 Speaker 21: woman and she said that I'd move away, I. 797 00:37:19,733 --> 00:37:21,773 Speaker 2: Think it would be it wouldn't be the last time 798 00:37:22,053 --> 00:37:24,652 Speaker 2: that you were held hostage on an issue. 799 00:37:24,053 --> 00:37:27,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, certainly. 800 00:37:28,013 --> 00:37:33,133 Speaker 2: Vacuum you know, yeah, no vacuum, no this, no, no 801 00:37:34,493 --> 00:37:38,973 Speaker 2: doing the disway toilet seat up or or down whatever 802 00:37:39,013 --> 00:37:40,252 Speaker 2: the one woman I can't remember. 803 00:37:40,773 --> 00:37:44,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like a big powerplay, thank you very much. 804 00:37:44,853 --> 00:37:47,373 Speaker 2: Politics reaches into our private lives constantly, which is surely 805 00:37:47,413 --> 00:37:49,573 Speaker 2: an overreach to start with, sus Roger. 806 00:37:50,133 --> 00:37:51,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this. 807 00:37:51,133 --> 00:37:54,973 Speaker 2: This is an important text here, an important one from Meca. 808 00:37:55,533 --> 00:37:57,453 Speaker 2: The worst development over the last twenty years is people 809 00:37:57,493 --> 00:38:00,293 Speaker 2: getting stuck in the echo chamber and unable to really 810 00:38:00,373 --> 00:38:03,813 Speaker 2: have good arguments underlying their position. If you never get 811 00:38:03,893 --> 00:38:06,533 Speaker 2: challenged on your belief and views, you get what we 812 00:38:06,613 --> 00:38:08,973 Speaker 2: have now in society. Most people would in the middle 813 00:38:09,173 --> 00:38:12,053 Speaker 2: towards the left on some subjects and right on others, 814 00:38:12,093 --> 00:38:15,093 Speaker 2: forcing a partner towards one side as risks in the 815 00:38:15,093 --> 00:38:18,493 Speaker 2: long term. They might now go with that listener to 816 00:38:18,533 --> 00:38:20,573 Speaker 2: the labor meeting because they wanted the bed. 817 00:38:20,773 --> 00:38:24,733 Speaker 3: Yeah nicely put Yeah. 818 00:38:24,813 --> 00:38:28,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that echo chamber because if you haven't, if 819 00:38:28,093 --> 00:38:30,373 Speaker 2: you're not used to having your opinions challenged, it can 820 00:38:30,413 --> 00:38:33,893 Speaker 2: be really confronting. But if it's just something a discussion, 821 00:38:33,893 --> 00:38:36,253 Speaker 2: and it doesn't mean that you as a person are 822 00:38:36,293 --> 00:38:40,333 Speaker 2: a bad person because you're disagreed with Yeah, I think 823 00:38:40,373 --> 00:38:43,853 Speaker 2: people attach their ideas to their very bearing and their 824 00:38:43,893 --> 00:38:47,133 Speaker 2: varying identity. When ideas are just ideas, ideas can come 825 00:38:47,133 --> 00:38:50,173 Speaker 2: and go yep. But if you can't handle having a 826 00:38:50,213 --> 00:38:52,053 Speaker 2: discussion about it, and that's what the echo chamber does. 827 00:38:52,253 --> 00:38:54,733 Speaker 2: You never get confronted. You just get reinforced and reinforced 828 00:38:54,773 --> 00:38:57,373 Speaker 2: and reinforced, And so it feels like an assault when 829 00:38:57,413 --> 00:38:59,013 Speaker 2: someone has a different opinion than you. 830 00:38:59,213 --> 00:39:00,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely so. 831 00:39:00,613 --> 00:39:03,373 Speaker 2: Young women are trending rapidly to the left and men 832 00:39:03,413 --> 00:39:05,652 Speaker 2: are moving slightly further to right. But more and more 833 00:39:05,693 --> 00:39:08,613 Speaker 2: young people are saying they won't even date people who 834 00:39:09,093 --> 00:39:11,493 Speaker 2: don't agree with them politically. This is not good in 835 00:39:11,493 --> 00:39:13,613 Speaker 2: my humble opinion, because you don't know how your life 836 00:39:13,653 --> 00:39:15,853 Speaker 2: will pan out. You don't know what you will learn 837 00:39:15,933 --> 00:39:17,773 Speaker 2: or think in ten years, twenty years. You may be 838 00:39:17,813 --> 00:39:20,373 Speaker 2: missing out on an amazing life just because you think 839 00:39:20,413 --> 00:39:22,293 Speaker 2: you have it all sorted out in your early twenties 840 00:39:22,613 --> 00:39:24,933 Speaker 2: and that politics is the be all and end all 841 00:39:25,453 --> 00:39:28,413 Speaker 2: of everything. But the idea of growing together is equal 842 00:39:28,493 --> 00:39:31,573 Speaker 2: humans and changing together is a beautiful thing. Tyler. It 843 00:39:31,613 --> 00:39:35,253 Speaker 2: as no one was right about everything, but together people 844 00:39:35,253 --> 00:39:37,652 Speaker 2: can forge pretty good lives trying to work out the 845 00:39:37,693 --> 00:39:43,373 Speaker 2: best course day to day. So there you go date 846 00:39:43,453 --> 00:39:46,933 Speaker 2: someone on the opposite end of their political spectrum and 847 00:39:47,013 --> 00:39:49,493 Speaker 2: see if you can work things out and maybe learn something. 848 00:39:49,613 --> 00:39:52,773 Speaker 3: Nicely said mate. Great discussion coming up after two o'clock 849 00:39:53,093 --> 00:39:56,613 Speaker 3: experiences over property improvements will tell you more. 850 00:39:56,653 --> 00:40:01,493 Speaker 1: Next the big stories, the big issues, the big trends, 851 00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:05,333 Speaker 1: and everything in between and kids. Matt Heath and Taylor Adams. 852 00:40:05,373 --> 00:40:08,333 Speaker 1: Afternoon Squi Shotter News Talk said. 853 00:40:08,173 --> 00:40:11,893 Speaker 3: The very good afternoon. Do you welcome back into the show. 854 00:40:11,973 --> 00:40:15,293 Speaker 3: It is six past two now before. 855 00:40:15,013 --> 00:40:18,053 Speaker 2: We get to the next topic, I was listening to 856 00:40:18,413 --> 00:40:21,413 Speaker 2: the radio this morning and the news headlines announced something 857 00:40:21,493 --> 00:40:24,493 Speaker 2: like this, there is no hope in sight for relief 858 00:40:24,533 --> 00:40:28,333 Speaker 2: from high fuel prices. And look, my lovely partner. She's 859 00:40:28,373 --> 00:40:30,573 Speaker 2: a fantastic person. She isn't political at all. 860 00:40:30,693 --> 00:40:30,933 Speaker 4: Yep. 861 00:40:31,653 --> 00:40:34,813 Speaker 2: But she suddenly snapped like I've never seen a step before, 862 00:40:35,053 --> 00:40:41,333 Speaker 2: and she yelled at the radio, just stop, just stop. 863 00:40:42,733 --> 00:40:43,173 Speaker 17: She was. 864 00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:48,253 Speaker 2: Sick of the constant negative freaking out. It just got 865 00:40:48,333 --> 00:40:52,773 Speaker 2: to her over her breakfast, Just stop. She finally had 866 00:40:52,853 --> 00:40:57,453 Speaker 2: enough of the constant catastrophizing going on. I feel her 867 00:40:57,493 --> 00:41:01,013 Speaker 2: pain where there is no hope in sight, and now 868 00:41:01,053 --> 00:41:04,733 Speaker 2: I see just before that there is more fuel in 869 00:41:04,773 --> 00:41:06,692 Speaker 2: the country than we had in the country two weeks ago, 870 00:41:07,133 --> 00:41:11,173 Speaker 2: so of course there is whole insight, no hope in sight. Anyway, 871 00:41:11,653 --> 00:41:14,133 Speaker 2: it got me thinking about all the problems that every 872 00:41:14,253 --> 00:41:16,973 Speaker 2: generation faces. You know what, I was hiding from her 873 00:41:16,973 --> 00:41:18,453 Speaker 2: because I've never seen her yell before. 874 00:41:18,813 --> 00:41:20,093 Speaker 3: You scarpe it pretty quick. 875 00:41:19,853 --> 00:41:22,413 Speaker 2: So I scarp it over and started eating my breakfast 876 00:41:22,413 --> 00:41:25,293 Speaker 2: in the corner, making my coffee. I think about all 877 00:41:25,293 --> 00:41:28,652 Speaker 2: the generations that have survived, but not only that, that 878 00:41:28,813 --> 00:41:31,933 Speaker 2: produced children and a society that we live in today 879 00:41:31,933 --> 00:41:35,213 Speaker 2: that still works. And I think in the midst of 880 00:41:35,533 --> 00:41:39,693 Speaker 2: the crises that keep popping up all the time, people 881 00:41:39,693 --> 00:41:42,772 Speaker 2: start to think we live in particularly rough times when 882 00:41:42,773 --> 00:41:45,812 Speaker 2: we don't. We don't live in particularly rough times. Every 883 00:41:46,893 --> 00:41:52,013 Speaker 2: generation has its as its struggles, and many much much 884 00:41:52,053 --> 00:41:54,893 Speaker 2: worse than ours, and I think it's important these times 885 00:41:54,893 --> 00:41:57,652 Speaker 2: to get some perspective. And a good way is acknowledging 886 00:41:57,773 --> 00:42:01,853 Speaker 2: all your ancestors that struggled through much worse such that 887 00:42:01,933 --> 00:42:04,413 Speaker 2: you were here to freak out about the current round 888 00:42:04,413 --> 00:42:06,933 Speaker 2: of things to worry about. That's why I love this 889 00:42:07,053 --> 00:42:11,252 Speaker 2: viral quote, and it keeps popping up when you never 890 00:42:11,493 --> 00:42:14,653 Speaker 2: go online, and I think it puts the current times 891 00:42:14,813 --> 00:42:18,893 Speaker 2: and perspectives, So maybe we don't need to be saying 892 00:42:18,973 --> 00:42:21,053 Speaker 2: things like there is no end in sight. Listen to this. 893 00:42:21,453 --> 00:42:26,293 Speaker 11: In order to be born, you needed two parents, four grandparents, 894 00:42:26,733 --> 00:42:32,613 Speaker 11: eight great grandparents, sixteen great great grandparents, thirty two third 895 00:42:32,653 --> 00:42:37,933 Speaker 11: great grandparents, sixty four fourth great grandparents one hundred twenty eight, 896 00:42:37,973 --> 00:42:42,573 Speaker 11: fifth great grandparents two hundred and fifty six, sixth great 897 00:42:42,573 --> 00:42:48,292 Speaker 11: grandparents five hundred twelve, seventh great grandparents one twenty four 898 00:42:48,613 --> 00:42:53,933 Speaker 11: eighth great grandparents, and two thousand, forty eight ninth great grandparents. 899 00:42:55,013 --> 00:42:59,733 Speaker 11: Over the past twelve generations, spanning approximately four hundred years, 900 00:43:00,453 --> 00:43:03,732 Speaker 11: you needed a total of four thousand, ninety four ancestors 901 00:43:03,773 --> 00:43:07,893 Speaker 11: to come into existence. We are the result of thousands 902 00:43:07,933 --> 00:43:12,533 Speaker 11: of life choices and sacrifices that came before us. This 903 00:43:12,693 --> 00:43:17,173 Speaker 11: reminds us how precious and unique are Existence is a 904 00:43:17,293 --> 00:43:22,172 Speaker 11: gift shaped by generations of ancestors. Honor their legacy by 905 00:43:22,173 --> 00:43:25,693 Speaker 11: living with purpose and gratitude. 906 00:43:27,853 --> 00:43:30,053 Speaker 3: See powerful that is. I mean we need to play 907 00:43:30,053 --> 00:43:32,493 Speaker 3: that every day, don't we Just to get some perspective, 908 00:43:32,613 --> 00:43:34,813 Speaker 3: and because you know, I'm guilty as the next person. 909 00:43:34,813 --> 00:43:36,733 Speaker 3: But you hear like you heard this morning, there is 910 00:43:36,773 --> 00:43:39,653 Speaker 3: no hope for the fuel supplies. Clearly there is hope, 911 00:43:39,853 --> 00:43:42,253 Speaker 3: but we just need to get their perspective every morning 912 00:43:42,293 --> 00:43:45,333 Speaker 3: to say, just think about your ancestors and everybody, all. 913 00:43:45,253 --> 00:43:47,893 Speaker 2: Those ancestors you don't even know their names, that struggled 914 00:43:48,293 --> 00:43:52,493 Speaker 2: and then reproduced, and then those people that struggled and 915 00:43:52,493 --> 00:43:55,053 Speaker 2: reproduced and went through all the troubles of their age. Yes, 916 00:43:55,133 --> 00:43:57,093 Speaker 2: so you can sit here and catastrophize. 917 00:43:57,253 --> 00:43:59,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm feeling good. That is good. We need to 918 00:43:59,213 --> 00:44:02,813 Speaker 3: do that every Monday. Right, let's get into this next topic. 919 00:44:02,853 --> 00:44:05,733 Speaker 3: So the upcoming Auckland travel show is banking on a 920 00:44:05,773 --> 00:44:08,333 Speaker 3: shifting key we spending, with more people opting for overseas 921 00:44:08,493 --> 00:44:11,853 Speaker 3: trips instead of investing in home upgrades. So this is 922 00:44:11,893 --> 00:44:15,053 Speaker 3: despite a bit of a cost of living pressure affecting households, 923 00:44:15,173 --> 00:44:19,813 Speaker 3: demand for holidays remain strong as many prioritize experiences over 924 00:44:19,853 --> 00:44:22,773 Speaker 3: these property investments. The article goes on to say it 925 00:44:22,773 --> 00:44:25,973 Speaker 3: reflects a broader modern mindset where people are now placing 926 00:44:26,013 --> 00:44:29,693 Speaker 3: greater value on life experiences like holidays, even if it 927 00:44:29,733 --> 00:44:33,013 Speaker 3: means putting those house projects on hold. So does that 928 00:44:33,173 --> 00:44:35,933 Speaker 3: ring true for you? Our experience is becoming more important 929 00:44:35,973 --> 00:44:39,053 Speaker 3: to you? Than, for example, improving your home. Oh one 930 00:44:39,133 --> 00:44:40,533 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighties and number to call. 931 00:44:40,773 --> 00:44:42,453 Speaker 2: Yeah. So, if you only have a limited amount of 932 00:44:42,493 --> 00:44:44,893 Speaker 2: money to spend, is it better to spend it on 933 00:44:44,973 --> 00:44:50,533 Speaker 2: creature comforts that most renovations are. Some renovations are very important, 934 00:44:50,573 --> 00:44:54,093 Speaker 2: like if your ruth falls in, yes, that's a must. 935 00:44:54,173 --> 00:44:58,013 Speaker 2: That's maybe repairs, Yes, So renovations generally making things better. 936 00:44:58,053 --> 00:44:59,613 Speaker 2: Repairs are just keeping things the same. 937 00:44:59,653 --> 00:45:02,093 Speaker 3: I guess give you yes, yep, yep, nicely said. 938 00:45:02,093 --> 00:45:04,053 Speaker 2: But if you've got a fine out of money to spend, 939 00:45:04,133 --> 00:45:07,133 Speaker 2: is it better to spend it on experiences, creating memories 940 00:45:07,613 --> 00:45:12,973 Speaker 2: or creating cre comforts. So let's take, for example, a 941 00:45:13,013 --> 00:45:16,533 Speaker 2: new bathroom with a heated floor. Nice. So you get that, 942 00:45:16,893 --> 00:45:18,772 Speaker 2: and that will cost you a certain amount of money, yep, 943 00:45:18,973 --> 00:45:21,373 Speaker 2: And you'll be excited about it for about a week, 944 00:45:21,613 --> 00:45:25,093 Speaker 2: and then it'll become your base level of understanding of 945 00:45:25,093 --> 00:45:27,773 Speaker 2: how the world works. Yes, and it will bring you 946 00:45:27,813 --> 00:45:32,133 Speaker 2: no more joy. He'll be on the hedonic treadmill next, 947 00:45:32,213 --> 00:45:36,653 Speaker 2: a donic adaptation. But if you say, spent that money 948 00:45:37,333 --> 00:45:42,293 Speaker 2: on a trip overseas till and you experienced some really 949 00:45:42,373 --> 00:45:45,093 Speaker 2: incredible mind opening things went to a place you've never 950 00:45:45,133 --> 00:45:50,493 Speaker 2: been before, met new people, created new memories. What's more valuable? 951 00:45:51,253 --> 00:45:56,133 Speaker 2: What is more valuable the object at home, the comforts 952 00:45:56,253 --> 00:46:01,613 Speaker 2: at home, or the experiences and the memories. Yeah, it's 953 00:46:01,653 --> 00:46:02,733 Speaker 2: an interesting question, isn't it. 954 00:46:02,733 --> 00:46:02,973 Speaker 5: It is? 955 00:46:03,053 --> 00:46:04,653 Speaker 3: Oh, eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. What is 956 00:46:04,693 --> 00:46:06,973 Speaker 3: your answer to that question? Nine two ninety two is 957 00:46:07,013 --> 00:46:09,613 Speaker 3: the text number. I was thinking it through on my head, 958 00:46:09,693 --> 00:46:12,293 Speaker 3: and I always would want to be that person that 959 00:46:12,333 --> 00:46:15,252 Speaker 3: takes experiences over renos. But the more I'm thinking about 960 00:46:15,253 --> 00:46:17,533 Speaker 3: it that if I'm gonna tick up a little bit 961 00:46:17,573 --> 00:46:21,253 Speaker 3: of the mortgage to do some renos versus ticking up 962 00:46:21,253 --> 00:46:23,652 Speaker 3: a bit of the mortgage to go on holiday, I'd 963 00:46:23,733 --> 00:46:26,893 Speaker 3: always have an easier time dealing with the reno question 964 00:46:27,293 --> 00:46:30,692 Speaker 3: that in my head instantly is this is an investment. Yep, 965 00:46:30,773 --> 00:46:33,053 Speaker 3: I'm borrowing a bit more money, but I can see 966 00:46:33,093 --> 00:46:36,613 Speaker 3: some extended value down the track. Whereas a holiday, even 967 00:46:36,693 --> 00:46:39,613 Speaker 3: though that's far more joyful for me, I would be 968 00:46:39,693 --> 00:46:42,373 Speaker 3: so guilty at saying, oh, man, I borrowed eight k 969 00:46:43,093 --> 00:46:45,013 Speaker 3: from the bank to put on the mortgage. It was 970 00:46:45,013 --> 00:46:47,933 Speaker 3: a lovely holiday, but now good debt. 971 00:46:48,133 --> 00:46:51,013 Speaker 2: Essentially, you do some kind of renovation on your house 972 00:46:51,413 --> 00:46:55,693 Speaker 2: that makes your house more valuable. So you've borrowed money, 973 00:46:55,733 --> 00:46:57,613 Speaker 2: Because if you borrow money to go on a holiday, 974 00:46:57,973 --> 00:47:00,853 Speaker 2: then you're doing renovations on your mind as your mental 975 00:47:00,893 --> 00:47:03,533 Speaker 2: health might get better and you may have more memories, 976 00:47:03,773 --> 00:47:08,212 Speaker 2: more stories to share, and more photographs. Yeah, but hard 977 00:47:08,213 --> 00:47:11,413 Speaker 2: to sell those. There's not a great capital gain on those. 978 00:47:11,573 --> 00:47:13,613 Speaker 3: No, No, but what do you say, I eight one 979 00:47:13,653 --> 00:47:17,493 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty are you putting experiences over the 980 00:47:17,653 --> 00:47:20,652 Speaker 3: likes of renovations or perhaps even a new car? I'll wait, 981 00:47:20,653 --> 00:47:21,933 Speaker 3: one hundred eighty ten eighty. 982 00:47:22,493 --> 00:47:24,413 Speaker 2: I'll throw something else in the mix. Yeah, so you 983 00:47:24,453 --> 00:47:27,373 Speaker 2: may wait your whole life to go for this amazing 984 00:47:27,413 --> 00:47:29,933 Speaker 2: trip while you're currently you're doing reno's and worrying about 985 00:47:29,933 --> 00:47:32,893 Speaker 2: your capital gain, and then get hit by a bus 986 00:47:33,013 --> 00:47:35,213 Speaker 2: YEP and never experience any of it. 987 00:47:35,293 --> 00:47:37,053 Speaker 3: That's right. It's a fair argument that if you've got 988 00:47:37,093 --> 00:47:38,413 Speaker 3: to do it, you've got to do it now. So 989 00:47:38,493 --> 00:47:40,213 Speaker 3: what do you say? Oh, eight, one hundred eighty ten 990 00:47:40,253 --> 00:47:41,973 Speaker 3: eighty is the number you're listening to news talks the 991 00:47:42,093 --> 00:47:43,453 Speaker 3: b It is fourteen bus. 992 00:47:43,213 --> 00:47:48,173 Speaker 1: Two your home of afternoon talk.

So we're talking about experiences over doing 996 00:47:58,533 --> 00:48:02,013 Speaker 3: home improvements. The upcoming Auckland Travel Show is banking on 997 00:48:02,053 --> 00:48:03,813 Speaker 3: a bit of a shift in how keyws look at 998 00:48:03,813 --> 00:48:05,693 Speaker 3: taking a holiday and it seems to be a broader 999 00:48:05,733 --> 00:48:09,652 Speaker 3: mindset that people are placing greater value on experiences. If 1000 00:48:09,693 --> 00:48:12,333 Speaker 3: that's you, Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is 1001 00:48:12,373 --> 00:48:14,933 Speaker 3: the number to cool care?

I've been quite fortunate in my life. 1006 00:48:24,213 --> 00:48:25,613 Speaker 5: My parents have actually. 1007 00:48:26,853 --> 00:48:29,652 Speaker 22: Done both of it for me. Luckily enough, I've been 1008 00:48:29,693 --> 00:48:32,732 Speaker 22: able to go away on holidays which have been cool 1009 00:48:32,813 --> 00:48:36,053 Speaker 22: memories and you know that the value with that is huge. 1010 00:48:36,253 --> 00:48:39,373 Speaker 22: And I've also been nice houses that my parents throughout 1011 00:48:39,413 --> 00:48:41,732 Speaker 22: my younger ages have had the. 1012 00:48:41,173 --> 00:48:42,413 Speaker 7: Opportunity to do up for me. 1013 00:48:42,933 --> 00:48:45,573 Speaker 22: So I've lived in houses that have been done up 1014 00:48:45,613 --> 00:48:48,772 Speaker 22: with house renolds and also gone on the holidays. But wow, 1015 00:48:49,533 --> 00:48:53,853 Speaker 22: I think we're at the value quite frankly, us as 1016 00:48:53,893 --> 00:48:56,853 Speaker 22: hum as we live anywhere, we'll sleep anywhere where where 1017 00:48:56,853 --> 00:48:57,853 Speaker 22: we can lie down. 1018 00:48:58,133 --> 00:49:00,893 Speaker 17: But you can't get the value of a holiday and 1019 00:49:00,933 --> 00:49:03,613 Speaker 17: those cool memories that you spend with your family and friends. 1020 00:49:04,253 --> 00:49:07,373 Speaker 17: I think, as far as things go, that would be 1021 00:49:07,573 --> 00:49:09,373 Speaker 17: my opinion that there would be the best thing to 1022 00:49:09,373 --> 00:49:10,093 Speaker 17: be doing with your. 1023 00:49:09,973 --> 00:49:13,652 Speaker 2: Money, even if it meant borrowing money to go on 1024 00:49:13,653 --> 00:49:15,773 Speaker 2: a holiday, Yes. 1025 00:49:15,613 --> 00:49:18,493 Speaker 23: One hundred, because if you don't have the money to 1026 00:49:18,533 --> 00:49:21,093 Speaker 23: do it now, when is it going to be if 1027 00:49:21,133 --> 00:49:24,093 Speaker 23: it can't be later, borrowing the money to be able 1028 00:49:24,093 --> 00:49:27,172 Speaker 23: to organize it, to have it as soon as you can. 1029 00:49:28,813 --> 00:49:31,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I reckon if you've got a bit of 1030 00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:33,252 Speaker 3: equity in the home. And there's a lot of ticks 1031 00:49:33,293 --> 00:49:37,413 Speaker 3: saying never ever tick up a holiday on credit. But 1032 00:49:37,573 --> 00:49:40,133 Speaker 3: I disagree. I think a bit of a mind shift 1033 00:49:40,173 --> 00:49:43,373 Speaker 3: there that if you can get some great experiences and 1034 00:49:43,453 --> 00:49:46,853 Speaker 3: as you said, Matt, the mental renovations to your mind 1035 00:49:46,893 --> 00:49:49,212 Speaker 3: and you are your mental well being, why not why 1036 00:49:49,293 --> 00:49:49,933 Speaker 3: not tick it up? 1037 00:49:50,653 --> 00:49:50,893 Speaker 19: Yeah. 1038 00:49:50,973 --> 00:49:54,453 Speaker 22: We're resilient people, you know, we all are, and we 1039 00:49:54,493 --> 00:49:58,293 Speaker 22: can get through anything. If we've got little carrots waving 1040 00:49:58,333 --> 00:50:00,573 Speaker 22: in front of us to get there, it makes it 1041 00:50:00,573 --> 00:50:01,333 Speaker 22: a whole lot easier. 1042 00:50:02,533 --> 00:50:04,652 Speaker 2: I remember it was John Key though that said, he 1043 00:50:04,813 --> 00:50:09,013 Speaker 2: was comparing borrowing as a country, and he was saying, 1044 00:50:09,053 --> 00:50:11,333 Speaker 2: you know, if you borrow for infrastructure is similar to 1045 00:50:11,373 --> 00:50:14,893 Speaker 2: him borrowing to build a new kitchen or building renovations 1046 00:50:14,893 --> 00:50:17,653 Speaker 2: in your house, Yes, and that it's an asset, whereas 1047 00:50:17,693 --> 00:50:19,853 Speaker 2: borrowing for a holiday is a bad thing. So his 1048 00:50:19,933 --> 00:50:22,413 Speaker 2: example was, you know, basically, we were saying, is it 1049 00:50:22,533 --> 00:50:24,933 Speaker 2: borrowing isn't a bad thing for a country? It's bad 1050 00:50:24,973 --> 00:50:27,573 Speaker 2: if you borrow for frivolous things. Yeah, which obviously we've 1051 00:50:27,573 --> 00:50:29,573 Speaker 2: seen a lot of in the last wee while. 1052 00:50:30,373 --> 00:50:32,933 Speaker 22: But like we hear, I'll say, the life we hear, 1053 00:50:33,013 --> 00:50:36,053 Speaker 22: we're living and then we're gone, aren't we you know, 1054 00:50:36,133 --> 00:50:40,133 Speaker 22: so the things that we leave here aren't the memories 1055 00:50:40,213 --> 00:50:41,893 Speaker 22: we can take take away with us, you. 1056 00:50:41,813 --> 00:50:43,973 Speaker 3: Know, because I don't want to fall into that trap. 1057 00:50:44,253 --> 00:50:46,853 Speaker 3: We're fast falling into that trap where we want to 1058 00:50:46,893 --> 00:50:49,653 Speaker 3: do all of these experiences and do all these things overseas. 1059 00:50:49,893 --> 00:50:52,933 Speaker 3: But I know, because I'm pretty frugal, that I want 1060 00:50:52,933 --> 00:50:55,053 Speaker 3: to make sure that we've got that money put aside. 1061 00:50:55,373 --> 00:50:58,453 Speaker 3: And if that's my strategy, we're not going to travel 1062 00:50:58,533 --> 00:51:00,692 Speaker 3: until I'm sixty five. I can just see I can 1063 00:51:00,733 --> 00:51:03,413 Speaker 3: see my future clear as day for the next twenty 1064 00:51:03,413 --> 00:51:05,853 Speaker 3: five years, will knuckle down and will be set up 1065 00:51:05,973 --> 00:51:09,133 Speaker 3: pretty well, I hope. But then those experiences that I 1066 00:51:09,133 --> 00:51:12,453 Speaker 3: always wanted to do at sixty five. I mean, I 1067 00:51:12,493 --> 00:51:14,453 Speaker 3: don't have a physical job, so hopefully I'll be all right. 1068 00:51:14,493 --> 00:51:16,172 Speaker 3: But you know, then that starts to get a little 1069 00:51:16,213 --> 00:51:16,692 Speaker 3: bit too late. 1070 00:51:19,013 --> 00:51:21,133 Speaker 22: Yeah. I think the goal of mind is the main thing, 1071 00:51:21,173 --> 00:51:22,693 Speaker 22: Like you're saying, you've got that goal. 1072 00:51:23,093 --> 00:51:23,893 Speaker 5: And whether it. 1073 00:51:25,653 --> 00:51:28,053 Speaker 22: Be in the future or be now, it's that goal 1074 00:51:28,333 --> 00:51:33,053 Speaker 22: of going away and the holiday being the priority of value. 1075 00:51:33,893 --> 00:51:37,212 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jaden, thank you very much for your thoughts and 1076 00:51:37,453 --> 00:51:39,693 Speaker 3: good on you that you've got to experience both a 1077 00:51:39,693 --> 00:51:41,093 Speaker 3: great home and a good holiday. 1078 00:51:41,413 --> 00:51:43,733 Speaker 2: I think there's another aspect to this though. There's the 1079 00:51:43,773 --> 00:51:46,573 Speaker 2: type of holiday that people do now. So if you're 1080 00:51:46,613 --> 00:51:49,732 Speaker 2: doing a going on holiday just so you can show 1081 00:51:49,733 --> 00:51:51,533 Speaker 2: off that you've been on a holiday, so you're going 1082 00:51:51,613 --> 00:51:54,652 Speaker 2: on an Instagram holiday, So you're going on holiday to 1083 00:51:54,733 --> 00:51:58,533 Speaker 2: take pictures of yourself on holiday as a status symbol, 1084 00:51:58,973 --> 00:52:00,973 Speaker 2: then that is the worst of both worlds, right, Yeah, 1085 00:52:01,013 --> 00:52:04,253 Speaker 2: So you're spending money that's not an asset to do 1086 00:52:04,373 --> 00:52:07,013 Speaker 2: something vacuous that will bring you no real joy. 1087 00:52:07,173 --> 00:52:09,172 Speaker 3: Hollow experience.

So yeah, go for it. 1137 00:54:20,413 --> 00:54:23,133 Speaker 2: So I mean, so many people are texting and saying, 1138 00:54:23,173 --> 00:54:25,373 Speaker 2: never put a holiday on the mortgage. What do you 1139 00:54:25,413 --> 00:54:29,653 Speaker 2: What do you say to them? 1140 00:54:29,773 --> 00:54:31,413 Speaker 7: Well, I mean like to say, if you've got a mortgage, 1141 00:54:31,413 --> 00:54:33,692 Speaker 7: and most a lot of people do. Some people are 1142 00:54:33,733 --> 00:54:36,853 Speaker 7: unlucky enough not not to. But if you're saving up regardless, 1143 00:54:37,533 --> 00:54:40,333 Speaker 7: then yeah, you are putting it on your mortgage in 1144 00:54:40,333 --> 00:54:43,133 Speaker 7: a way. Unless you are mortgage free, then it just 1145 00:54:43,133 --> 00:54:46,213 Speaker 7: means you'd never go on a holiday. So regardless of 1146 00:54:46,213 --> 00:54:48,653 Speaker 7: whether you're saving and paying them off your mortgage early 1147 00:54:48,853 --> 00:54:51,293 Speaker 7: or whether you're saving towards a holiday, it doesn't matter. 1148 00:54:51,293 --> 00:54:53,213 Speaker 7: It's just money that's not going on to your mortgage, 1149 00:54:53,253 --> 00:54:54,253 Speaker 7: if that makes sense. 1150 00:54:54,333 --> 00:54:56,893 Speaker 2: Right, I see, I see. So if you're saving that money, 1151 00:54:57,293 --> 00:55:01,692 Speaker 2: then it is it's not on your mortgage, And if 1152 00:55:01,733 --> 00:55:04,973 Speaker 2: you're using your mortgage to pay for the holiday, then also, 1153 00:55:05,333 --> 00:55:08,093 Speaker 2: But I guess, yeah, I mean. 1154 00:55:10,733 --> 00:55:12,453 Speaker 7: It's a different I guess it's a different story. If 1155 00:55:12,453 --> 00:55:14,213 Speaker 7: you enter the bank and said, I want to borrow 1156 00:55:14,893 --> 00:55:18,413 Speaker 7: additional money to put on on a holiday, I guess 1157 00:55:18,413 --> 00:55:21,413 Speaker 7: you're you're increasing your debt go on holiday. But either 1158 00:55:21,413 --> 00:55:24,413 Speaker 7: which way you know, whether you're saving or not, you're 1159 00:55:24,493 --> 00:55:26,413 Speaker 7: you're still doing that. Like I say, the only way 1160 00:55:26,493 --> 00:55:29,893 Speaker 7: to do it would be by being mortgage free. But 1161 00:55:29,973 --> 00:55:33,213 Speaker 7: most people nowadays with interest rates and every and the 1162 00:55:33,293 --> 00:55:35,573 Speaker 7: cost of living all that kind of stuff, but it's 1163 00:55:35,613 --> 00:55:38,853 Speaker 7: just no point in waiting. Because but if if you're. 1164 00:55:38,493 --> 00:55:40,613 Speaker 2: If you're saving your money Jeremy, and keeping it in 1165 00:55:40,653 --> 00:55:44,253 Speaker 2: your mortgage, if you've got a floating mortgage, you know, 1166 00:55:44,333 --> 00:55:47,333 Speaker 2: one that you can access, You're you're throwing that saving 1167 00:55:47,333 --> 00:55:49,252 Speaker 2: in there, and the time that that money is in there, 1168 00:55:49,253 --> 00:55:52,013 Speaker 2: you're paying less interest on your loan for that portion 1169 00:55:52,093 --> 00:55:53,413 Speaker 2: of your mortgage. You see what I'm saying. 1170 00:55:55,093 --> 00:55:58,013 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and yeah, so that's right. But then 1171 00:55:58,053 --> 00:56:00,013 Speaker 7: you you take your holiday and it comes back off 1172 00:56:00,013 --> 00:56:00,613 Speaker 7: that mortgage. 1173 00:56:00,653 --> 00:56:02,812 Speaker 3: So yeah, like. 1174 00:56:02,693 --> 00:56:05,973 Speaker 7: I say, unless you are mortgage free, you're you're always 1175 00:56:06,013 --> 00:56:07,533 Speaker 7: borrowing off your off your loan or. 1176 00:56:07,693 --> 00:56:09,853 Speaker 2: Secuity, and you are you expecting to pay it all 1177 00:56:09,893 --> 00:56:14,933 Speaker 2: back or you expecting to die before you pay it back? 1178 00:56:15,133 --> 00:56:17,413 Speaker 7: I mean, I'm hoping to pay it back well before 1179 00:56:18,653 --> 00:56:19,652 Speaker 7: for the point that I die. 1180 00:56:19,893 --> 00:56:22,373 Speaker 2: So there's a point in your life where you're not holidaying, 1181 00:56:22,373 --> 00:56:23,973 Speaker 2: but you're just paying back the mortgages. I guess what 1182 00:56:24,013 --> 00:56:27,133 Speaker 2: I'm saying. Do you just have one major you pick 1183 00:56:27,173 --> 00:56:30,013 Speaker 2: a pick a key time in your life, you know, 1184 00:56:30,093 --> 00:56:32,013 Speaker 2: maybe when the kids are still around or whatever, and 1185 00:56:32,213 --> 00:56:34,053 Speaker 2: you're feeling like that's the perfect time. I'm just going 1186 00:56:34,133 --> 00:56:36,533 Speaker 2: to spend a lot of money on have that great 1187 00:56:36,733 --> 00:56:40,013 Speaker 2: one holiday that's significant and will create create those memories, 1188 00:56:40,253 --> 00:56:42,613 Speaker 2: and then I go back into paying off mortgage mode. 1189 00:56:43,733 --> 00:56:45,973 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you need to be able to create both. Right, Like, 1190 00:56:46,053 --> 00:56:49,573 Speaker 7: if you're only just getting by and you're only paying 1191 00:56:49,573 --> 00:56:54,252 Speaker 7: off enough mortgage just to slowly reduce your mortgage, then 1192 00:56:54,293 --> 00:56:56,333 Speaker 7: you need to weigh it up and so well, you know, 1193 00:56:56,933 --> 00:57:00,333 Speaker 7: is that justifiable? But you know, I think if you're 1194 00:57:00,373 --> 00:57:02,653 Speaker 7: in a position where you can pay off your mortgage 1195 00:57:02,853 --> 00:57:06,293 Speaker 7: plus a little bit extra in terms of savings and 1196 00:57:06,573 --> 00:57:09,053 Speaker 7: achieve your goals by being debt free in ten, twenty 1197 00:57:09,133 --> 00:57:11,773 Speaker 7: years or whatever it is, then as long as you 1198 00:57:11,773 --> 00:57:13,773 Speaker 7: can do both, then go for it. 1199 00:57:14,293 --> 00:57:17,053 Speaker 3: Here's my rationale. Jeremy and I'm actually talking about ticking 1200 00:57:17,053 --> 00:57:18,933 Speaker 3: it up, take using some of the equity and the 1201 00:57:18,973 --> 00:57:22,893 Speaker 3: mortgage and borring say fifteen, maybe even twenty thousand dollars. 1202 00:57:23,093 --> 00:57:25,573 Speaker 3: That if I do that in the next five years 1203 00:57:25,853 --> 00:57:29,693 Speaker 3: and have a fantastic experience before I'm completely locked down 1204 00:57:29,733 --> 00:57:31,613 Speaker 3: and it gets harder and harder to do, then I 1205 00:57:31,653 --> 00:57:35,093 Speaker 3: am happy repaying that twenty thousand dollars over the next 1206 00:57:35,133 --> 00:57:37,853 Speaker 3: twenty years. Even if I'm in my seventies, I'll be 1207 00:57:37,933 --> 00:57:40,333 Speaker 3: happier to chip in an extra twenty bucks a week 1208 00:57:40,333 --> 00:57:44,013 Speaker 3: at seventy then miss out on doing that experience right now? 1209 00:57:45,933 --> 00:57:46,493 Speaker 3: Is that smart? 1210 00:57:46,613 --> 00:57:47,053 Speaker 24: Fair enough? 1211 00:57:47,133 --> 00:57:50,413 Speaker 7: But yeah, well yes, so no, I mean, I guess 1212 00:57:50,453 --> 00:57:52,733 Speaker 7: if you've got enough money and you're super and that 1213 00:57:52,813 --> 00:57:54,093 Speaker 7: kind of thing that I mean, no one really wants 1214 00:57:54,133 --> 00:57:56,853 Speaker 7: to be paying a mortgage at seventy and then completely 1215 00:57:56,933 --> 00:57:59,533 Speaker 7: restricts your ability to be able to live when you 1216 00:57:59,613 --> 00:58:03,693 Speaker 7: retire or or extend out that stateful when you do retire. 1217 00:58:03,973 --> 00:58:06,133 Speaker 2: You've got And also, Tyler, you soon have this idea 1218 00:58:06,213 --> 00:58:10,413 Speaker 2: that at your age of forty, that's that's peak.

I I a number of a 1304 01:01:59,533 --> 01:02:03,893 Speaker 24: few years ago. I took my husband to London. We'd 1305 01:02:03,893 --> 01:02:07,653 Speaker 24: sold a petick had some money left over, and I 1306 01:02:07,693 --> 01:02:09,573 Speaker 24: can remember saying to him, you know, I din'd like 1307 01:02:09,653 --> 01:02:11,933 Speaker 24: to do with that money, and he's looking sky would 1308 01:02:11,973 --> 01:02:15,853 Speaker 24: of course, thinking what she's thinking up now. But a 1309 01:02:16,053 --> 01:02:19,493 Speaker 24: daughter was teaching in London. She taught there for seven years, 1310 01:02:19,613 --> 01:02:22,013 Speaker 24: and so I said, I'd like to go to London 1311 01:02:22,733 --> 01:02:26,613 Speaker 24: to see Hailey. Well. On top of that, his health 1312 01:02:26,693 --> 01:02:29,253 Speaker 24: wasn't great. He'd had a kidney transplant in the early 1313 01:02:29,373 --> 01:02:34,573 Speaker 24: nineteen nineties and it was perhaps on the way out. Really, 1314 01:02:34,693 --> 01:02:36,533 Speaker 24: if I'd known then what I know now, I might 1315 01:02:36,693 --> 01:02:41,733 Speaker 24: never have gone. But we traveled, and he actually traveled 1316 01:02:41,733 --> 01:02:46,253 Speaker 24: really well, filled his head with memories. We went, then 1317 01:02:46,653 --> 01:02:50,693 Speaker 24: ended up at Westminster Abbey for Zac Day, traveled up 1318 01:02:50,733 --> 01:02:54,413 Speaker 24: round through Scotland, went through Europe on one of those 1319 01:02:54,533 --> 01:02:59,853 Speaker 24: ten day things, and came back to Finnish with the 1320 01:02:59,973 --> 01:03:04,653 Speaker 24: Chelsea Foul Show, and came home through Disneyland.

I 1512 01:11:47,333 --> 01:11:49,892 Speaker 2: lost my first wife at forty two, and well, that's 1513 01:11:49,933 --> 01:11:53,253 Speaker 2: something no one can fully can ever truly prepare for. 1514 01:11:53,572 --> 01:11:55,973 Speaker 2: The one piece of comfort I've always howard onto for 1515 01:11:56,053 --> 01:11:58,852 Speaker 2: both myself and my daughter is that we truly lived. 1516 01:11:58,893 --> 01:12:01,412 Speaker 2: We didn't sit back waiting for some day. We traveled, 1517 01:12:01,412 --> 01:12:05,133 Speaker 2: We explored, We made the most of what we had 1518 01:12:05,253 --> 01:12:07,532 Speaker 2: even when money was tight. We bought a house, rented 1519 01:12:07,532 --> 01:12:10,932 Speaker 2: it out, and shows experiences over comfort. That perspective has 1520 01:12:10,973 --> 01:12:13,492 Speaker 2: stayed with me. Unfortunate to have found love again, and 1521 01:12:14,053 --> 01:12:17,132 Speaker 2: my partner works as a cancer research news she sees 1522 01:12:17,173 --> 01:12:19,892 Speaker 2: far too often people who have waited their whole lives 1523 01:12:19,893 --> 01:12:22,133 Speaker 2: to live, only to be stopped by illness before they 1524 01:12:22,133 --> 01:12:25,052 Speaker 2: get the chance.

We don't wait. 1526 01:12:27,772 --> 01:12:30,892 Speaker 2: We appreciate the simple things, the sunrise, the sunset and 1527 01:12:30,973 --> 01:12:33,892 Speaker 2: everything between.

Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons News 1537 01:12:57,772 --> 01:13:00,173 Speaker 1: TALKSB News Talks. 1538 01:13:00,173 --> 01:13:03,773 Speaker 3: There be it is nine two three. Chris, what's your thoughts. 1539 01:13:03,532 --> 01:13:09,133 Speaker 4: On this, gentlemen? I like the idea of holidays and innovations, 1540 01:13:09,492 --> 01:13:14,612 Speaker 4: and this is a method that could help people do both. Okay, 1541 01:13:14,692 --> 01:13:17,772 Speaker 4: So if you've got a mortgage, what you do is 1542 01:13:17,772 --> 01:13:20,692 Speaker 4: you get an offset account, and what you do is 1543 01:13:20,732 --> 01:13:22,892 Speaker 4: you put all of your money from your page into 1544 01:13:22,893 --> 01:13:26,052 Speaker 4: the offset account. And what that does is that helps 1545 01:13:26,412 --> 01:13:30,133 Speaker 4: eliminate as much interest as possible. And then from that 1546 01:13:30,213 --> 01:13:32,893 Speaker 4: account you take out your money when necessary, like for 1547 01:13:33,013 --> 01:13:39,492 Speaker 4: groceries that wis, et cetera. And what that does is 1548 01:13:39,612 --> 01:13:41,492 Speaker 4: it frees up you more to say, I'll just make 1549 01:13:41,532 --> 01:13:43,772 Speaker 4: up some numbers. You've got a mortgage of five hundred grand, 1550 01:13:44,213 --> 01:13:46,173 Speaker 4: and then over the last two or three years you've 1551 01:13:46,893 --> 01:13:50,852 Speaker 4: you've paid off say one hundred thousand. You've still got 1552 01:13:50,853 --> 01:13:53,412 Speaker 4: that account with one hundred thousand dollars in it, and 1553 01:13:53,452 --> 01:13:56,412 Speaker 4: the mortgage still got five hundred thousand in it, but 1554 01:13:56,532 --> 01:13:59,812 Speaker 4: you have offset that interest. But you've got access to 1555 01:14:00,013 --> 01:14:04,732 Speaker 4: that cash. If an emergency pops up, for example, your 1556 01:14:04,732 --> 01:14:07,452 Speaker 4: car gets trash, you need a new car, or you 1557 01:14:07,492 --> 01:14:09,492 Speaker 4: want to go on a whole day, you don't need 1558 01:14:09,532 --> 01:14:12,852 Speaker 4: to ring up a bloke from the bank and go, please, sir, 1559 01:14:13,412 --> 01:14:18,093 Speaker 4: can I withdraw from my mortgage further? It's there and 1560 01:14:18,133 --> 01:14:22,532 Speaker 4: it's yours. And then you just deplete that account to 1561 01:14:22,772 --> 01:14:26,492 Speaker 4: what is necessary and then you can keep going forward. 1562 01:14:26,612 --> 01:14:31,972 Speaker 4: So we had a financial advisor tell us this, and yeah, 1563 01:14:32,013 --> 01:14:33,812 Speaker 4: we had the same thing. We had a car. That's 1564 01:14:33,812 --> 01:14:36,293 Speaker 4: why I brought it st. We had a car get 1565 01:14:36,853 --> 01:14:39,412 Speaker 4: damaged in a hailstorm and we had to buy anyone. 1566 01:14:39,452 --> 01:14:45,093 Speaker 4: So Yeah, if anyone's out there listening, definitely run your 1567 01:14:45,093 --> 01:14:49,732 Speaker 4: mortgage with an offset account, because if you say, for example, 1568 01:14:50,853 --> 01:14:55,092 Speaker 4: can't save a lot that way, you still have access 1569 01:14:55,133 --> 01:14:58,173 Speaker 4: to money, and you can and you can make decisions 1570 01:14:58,213 --> 01:15:01,532 Speaker 4: on your own without having to equill plead with a 1571 01:15:01,532 --> 01:15:03,333 Speaker 4: man in a suit, if you know what I mean. 1572 01:15:03,492 --> 01:15:04,892 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a smart way to do it. 1573 01:15:04,933 --> 01:15:06,852 Speaker 3: Absolutely, just got to be disciplined. If you've got that 1574 01:15:06,933 --> 01:15:09,852 Speaker 3: way revolving credit, you dip into it too much, then 1575 01:15:09,893 --> 01:15:12,212 Speaker 3: it kind of defeats the purpose of offsetting your mortgage. 1576 01:15:12,452 --> 01:15:14,692 Speaker 2: Depending on how you're employed as well, another good thing 1577 01:15:14,732 --> 01:15:16,812 Speaker 2: to do is to store your tax So if you 1578 01:15:16,812 --> 01:15:18,053 Speaker 2: know you're going to have to pay a lot of 1579 01:15:18,093 --> 01:15:22,532 Speaker 2: tax any given year, you stoy that tax in an 1580 01:15:22,572 --> 01:15:24,892 Speaker 2: offset of mortgage account and then pay out of that 1581 01:15:25,053 --> 01:15:28,253 Speaker 2: so for large swathes of the year, that money sitting 1582 01:15:28,253 --> 01:15:31,133 Speaker 2: in there, not accruing interest. 1583 01:15:30,893 --> 01:15:32,932 Speaker 3: Helping your mortgage. Yeah, yeah, smart strategy. 1584 01:15:32,933 --> 01:15:34,532 Speaker 2: And then you just give all of it to the 1585 01:15:34,532 --> 01:15:38,133 Speaker 2: tax man and you celebrate. Celebrate how much money you 1586 01:15:38,133 --> 01:15:40,133 Speaker 2: get to give to the tax man. What a good 1587 01:15:40,133 --> 01:15:43,213 Speaker 2: moment is better than a holiday or a new kitchen better? 1588 01:15:43,572 --> 01:15:44,892 Speaker 2: How much tax we will pay. 1589 01:15:44,772 --> 01:15:47,012 Speaker 3: All that money, that's the government coffers. 1590 01:15:47,133 --> 01:15:48,692 Speaker 2: Well, the great thing is you know that they spend 1591 01:15:48,692 --> 01:15:52,213 Speaker 2: it so carefully and with so much respect.

So 1656 01:18:53,893 --> 01:18:58,092 Speaker 3: this is a fascinating investigation by New Zealand Herald reporter 1657 01:18:58,173 --> 01:19:02,133 Speaker 3: Jared Savage. So his investigation points to allegations jail gag 1658 01:19:02,173 --> 01:19:05,452 Speaker 3: members are continuing to run major drug smuggling operations from 1659 01:19:05,452 --> 01:19:09,852 Speaker 3: behind bars by directing corrupt airport workers. Authorities. Claimed two 1660 01:19:10,013 --> 01:19:13,732 Speaker 3: inmates use smuggled mobile phones to coordinate these shipments of 1661 01:19:13,732 --> 01:19:17,293 Speaker 3: methan fetamine into New Zealand, relying on compromise staff at 1662 01:19:17,293 --> 01:19:21,612 Speaker 3: Auckland Airport to bypass security and retrieve drugs from incoming flights. 1663 01:19:21,893 --> 01:19:24,772 Speaker 3: The operation is part of a wider transnational crime network 1664 01:19:24,812 --> 01:19:28,253 Speaker 3: involving gangs, with police and Customs describing it as a 1665 01:19:28,572 --> 01:19:32,812 Speaker 3: significant and sophisticated system that exploits both the prison systems 1666 01:19:33,093 --> 01:19:36,093 Speaker 3: and airport processes to bring large quantities of drugs into 1667 01:19:36,093 --> 01:19:36,652 Speaker 3: New Zealand. 1668 01:19:36,772 --> 01:19:40,132 Speaker 2: So fifty one hundred kgs of methan fetamine or cocaine 1669 01:19:40,133 --> 01:19:43,372 Speaker 2: at the time at a time unreal so and twenty 1670 01:19:43,452 --> 01:19:49,092 Speaker 2: baggage handlers were caught twenty. I mean, how many baggage handlers, 1671 01:19:49,333 --> 01:19:52,612 Speaker 2: International baggage handlers do we have in this country? If 1672 01:19:52,652 --> 01:19:54,372 Speaker 2: twenty of them were involved. 1673 01:19:53,973 --> 01:19:55,253 Speaker 3: It's a fair question that's. 1674 01:19:55,133 --> 01:19:58,452 Speaker 2: Going to be is it one, is it five percent? 1675 01:19:58,652 --> 01:20:01,252 Speaker 2: Is it ten percent of or baggage handlers? 1676 01:20:01,333 --> 01:20:03,732 Speaker 3: Yeah, nineteen nine two off, you know, but that seems 1677 01:20:03,732 --> 01:20:05,572 Speaker 3: like a big percentage of the ones in Auckland. 1678 01:20:05,812 --> 01:20:08,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, some of them. The interesting part of this is, 1679 01:20:08,372 --> 01:20:11,013 Speaker 2: as we were saying, before you lock someone up, take 1680 01:20:11,013 --> 01:20:14,372 Speaker 2: away their freedoms, surround them with walls, guards and razor wire, 1681 01:20:15,013 --> 01:20:20,852 Speaker 2: and yet they're still running an international drugs operation and 1682 01:20:21,772 --> 01:20:25,772 Speaker 2: look smuggled phone. This is all legit at this page. Yes, 1683 01:20:25,933 --> 01:20:28,293 Speaker 2: but there always seems to be a way to get 1684 01:20:28,293 --> 01:20:31,132 Speaker 2: a phone into prison, doesn't it. 1685 01:20:31,133 --> 01:20:31,532 Speaker 3: It does. 1686 01:20:32,812 --> 01:20:36,812 Speaker 2: It seems that prisons are very porous operations. But then 1687 01:20:36,973 --> 01:20:42,333 Speaker 2: so is our customs obviously, because so they call it 1688 01:20:42,412 --> 01:20:45,852 Speaker 2: rip on rip off, right, So they remove the bags 1689 01:20:45,853 --> 01:20:50,293 Speaker 2: before security screening. So how does that process work? Because 1690 01:20:51,293 --> 01:20:53,173 Speaker 2: you know when you're coming into the country, right, So 1691 01:20:53,213 --> 01:20:55,452 Speaker 2: if you're coming off a plane, there's a bit when 1692 01:20:55,492 --> 01:20:57,972 Speaker 2: you're walking up, then it gets screened and it goes 1693 01:20:58,013 --> 01:21:00,372 Speaker 2: through right yep. So if you're a smuggler at that point, 1694 01:21:00,412 --> 01:21:03,493 Speaker 2: if you're a mule, then that is your point of concern. 1695 01:21:04,053 --> 01:21:06,052 Speaker 2: Whether you get picked up at that stage you're taken 1696 01:21:06,053 --> 01:21:10,612 Speaker 2: aside by customs. So is there just one point in 1697 01:21:10,692 --> 01:21:14,532 Speaker 2: the airport where it gets screened, So anything happens before 1698 01:21:14,652 --> 01:21:17,532 Speaker 2: that isn't looked at. There's not people overlooking it, there's 1699 01:21:17,572 --> 01:21:21,372 Speaker 2: not customs people watching what's happening with those handlers? How 1700 01:21:21,412 --> 01:21:23,013 Speaker 2: do they get the baggage out of there? So you've 1701 01:21:23,013 --> 01:21:27,532 Speaker 2: got one hundred kg of meth and fetamine, there's a 1702 01:21:27,572 --> 01:21:30,732 Speaker 2: bag that you know is marked, you move it to 1703 01:21:30,772 --> 01:21:32,053 Speaker 2: the side, and. 1704 01:21:32,013 --> 01:21:33,932 Speaker 3: Then how do you get it out from that point? 1705 01:21:34,372 --> 01:21:37,732 Speaker 2: Is there no you know, hey, Johnny's leaving. He seems 1706 01:21:37,772 --> 01:21:41,812 Speaker 2: to have a huge suitcase that he didn't bring this 1707 01:21:41,853 --> 01:21:42,892 Speaker 2: morning with his lunch. 1708 01:21:42,893 --> 01:21:44,452 Speaker 3: Because I don't know how you get off the tarmac 1709 01:21:44,492 --> 01:21:46,652 Speaker 3: at that point. So it's all security doors back into 1710 01:21:46,652 --> 01:21:48,293 Speaker 3: the airport. What do you chuck it on one of 1711 01:21:48,333 --> 01:21:51,173 Speaker 3: those little gokuts they've got and somehow wing it over 1712 01:21:51,213 --> 01:21:53,093 Speaker 3: the fence? I mean, I just don't understand how they 1713 01:21:53,133 --> 01:21:53,612 Speaker 3: get that for it. 1714 01:21:53,692 --> 01:21:56,652 Speaker 2: And you've got like twenty here that have been caught 1715 01:21:56,692 --> 01:22:02,412 Speaker 2: twenty baggage handlers? Is that because you just inevitably get caught? 1716 01:22:02,452 --> 01:22:05,532 Speaker 2: So interesting? Why you know they call them compromised? How 1717 01:22:05,612 --> 01:22:08,612 Speaker 2: they compromise. Is it threats or is it or is 1718 01:22:08,652 --> 01:22:12,173 Speaker 2: it for their own financial gain? How do they get recruited? 1719 01:22:12,652 --> 01:22:18,092 Speaker 2: I mean this, this alleged operator from within the prisons, 1720 01:22:18,293 --> 01:22:23,612 Speaker 2: I mean he's not he's not recruiting people? Is he 1721 01:22:23,692 --> 01:22:26,972 Speaker 2: with his phone that's been smuggled in? However? You smuggle 1722 01:22:26,973 --> 01:22:28,173 Speaker 2: a phone in uncomfortably? 1723 01:22:28,452 --> 01:22:30,692 Speaker 3: Yeh yeah, yeah, I mean I don't think they bake 1724 01:22:30,732 --> 01:22:32,612 Speaker 3: it in the cake anymore. But I one hundred and 1725 01:22:32,652 --> 01:22:36,412 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. If you've got some thoughts on how 1726 01:22:36,452 --> 01:22:39,173 Speaker 3: these prisoners get these phones in the first place. Why 1727 01:22:39,173 --> 01:22:43,052 Speaker 3: aren't they monitored? But also is there, you know, some loopholes? 1728 01:22:43,173 --> 01:22:45,652 Speaker 3: Is our border a little bit porous if this is 1729 01:22:45,732 --> 01:22:47,652 Speaker 3: the kind of thing that can happen. I wait, one 1730 01:22:47,692 --> 01:22:49,092 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number? 1731 01:22:49,253 --> 01:22:54,612 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the two areas of porousness. Yeah, paucity, poorousnessnessness. 1732 01:22:54,812 --> 01:22:55,452 Speaker 2: I'll look up you. 1733 01:22:55,772 --> 01:22:57,572 Speaker 3: That's pretty good. Well, maybe the first one. 1734 01:22:57,692 --> 01:23:03,173 Speaker 2: We're talking about two areas poorous areas prisons in terms 1735 01:23:03,213 --> 01:23:05,852 Speaker 2: of getting the phones in to be used in this 1736 01:23:05,973 --> 01:23:10,492 Speaker 2: kind of operation, and just the one hundred kg bags 1737 01:23:10,492 --> 01:23:13,013 Speaker 2: that seem to be able to be snaffled before they 1738 01:23:13,093 --> 01:23:16,412 Speaker 2: go through proper inspection and get taken out the side 1739 01:23:16,732 --> 01:23:18,013 Speaker 2: and distributed. 1740 01:23:17,532 --> 01:23:19,133 Speaker 3: If you know how it's done. Oh, eight one hundred 1741 01:23:19,133 --> 01:23:21,012 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Nine 1742 01:23:21,013 --> 01:23:23,492 Speaker 3: two ninety two is the text. But coming up after 1743 01:23:23,492 --> 01:23:26,092 Speaker 3: the break, we are going to talk with Jared Savage 1744 01:23:26,093 --> 01:23:28,213 Speaker 3: who wrote this story. So that is coming up next. 1745 01:23:28,412 --> 01:23:29,692 Speaker 3: It is eleven past three. 1746 01:23:29,853 --> 01:23:30,573 Speaker 2: Poorisicity? 1747 01:23:31,013 --> 01:23:32,772 Speaker 3: Porisicity? Sounds really good? 1748 01:23:33,173 --> 01:23:33,732 Speaker 2: Someone will know. 1749 01:23:34,492 --> 01:23:36,972 Speaker 3: We'll google that next. We'll find out nine nine two 1750 01:23:36,973 --> 01:23:39,572 Speaker 3: if you know, back very shortly and we'll be speaking 1751 01:23:39,572 --> 01:23:40,533 Speaker 3: with Jared Savage. 1752 01:23:41,093 --> 01:23:41,893 Speaker 1: His talks'd be. 1753 01:23:42,492 --> 01:23:45,733 Speaker 3: It is fourteen past three, so and in depth investigation 1754 01:23:45,893 --> 01:23:48,412 Speaker 3: in the New Zealand here points to allegations jail gang 1755 01:23:48,452 --> 01:23:51,692 Speaker 3: members are continuing to run major drug smaggling operations from 1756 01:23:51,732 --> 01:23:56,692 Speaker 3: behind bars by directing corrupt airport workers. The reporter behind 1757 01:23:56,692 --> 01:24:02,293 Speaker 3: the investigation is Jared Savage, and he joins us now afternoon, Jared, afternoon, guys, 1758 01:24:02,452 --> 01:24:03,732 Speaker 3: like very good. 1759 01:24:04,133 --> 01:24:07,253 Speaker 2: Now, twenty bag of handlers busted last year alone. I 1760 01:24:07,293 --> 01:24:09,532 Speaker 2: believe that that seems like a huge percentage of the 1761 01:24:09,572 --> 01:24:12,213 Speaker 2: total baggage handlers. How are they recruiting so many people 1762 01:24:12,253 --> 01:24:13,772 Speaker 2: to get involved in this? 1763 01:24:15,053 --> 01:24:15,293 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1764 01:24:15,532 --> 01:24:18,012 Speaker 14: I mean, I'm not sure the total number of baggage workers, 1765 01:24:18,013 --> 01:24:19,932 Speaker 14: but it is a it is a large number. 1766 01:24:19,973 --> 01:24:20,253 Speaker 19: There. 1767 01:24:21,213 --> 01:24:24,373 Speaker 14: A lot of this comes down to kind of familial 1768 01:24:24,492 --> 01:24:25,253 Speaker 14: or family ties. 1769 01:24:25,333 --> 01:24:30,333 Speaker 25: So somebody will know somebody and you know, an introduction 1770 01:24:30,452 --> 01:24:34,092 Speaker 25: will be made someone the baggage handler will be asked 1771 01:24:34,133 --> 01:24:37,333 Speaker 25: to do them a favor. They might not even necessarily 1772 01:24:37,412 --> 01:24:41,333 Speaker 25: know that it's, you know, drugs or something illegal at first, 1773 01:24:41,692 --> 01:24:44,973 Speaker 25: but once you've got somebody on the hook. Some of 1774 01:24:44,973 --> 01:24:48,172 Speaker 25: these baggage handlers have been allegedly offered like forty thousand 1775 01:24:48,253 --> 01:24:51,932 Speaker 25: dollars per time. So if you're in, if you're any 1776 01:24:51,933 --> 01:24:55,572 Speaker 25: minimum wage or close to it, and someone offers you 1777 01:24:55,652 --> 01:24:58,692 Speaker 25: that kind of chunk of change, it would be hard 1778 01:24:58,732 --> 01:24:59,372 Speaker 25: to turn down. 1779 01:25:00,093 --> 01:25:05,893 Speaker 2: Is there any coercion? You know, famously in drug dealing situations, 1780 01:25:06,013 --> 01:25:08,812 Speaker 2: threats are made to get people to do things. Is 1781 01:25:09,093 --> 01:25:10,093 Speaker 2: that a part of it as well? 1782 01:25:10,772 --> 01:25:12,053 Speaker 24: I think that is a part of it. 1783 01:25:13,213 --> 01:25:16,412 Speaker 14: I'm not aware of any specific examples in relation to 1784 01:25:16,853 --> 01:25:17,412 Speaker 14: this case. 1785 01:25:18,133 --> 01:25:18,333 Speaker 5: Here. 1786 01:25:18,452 --> 01:25:23,333 Speaker 15: Anecdotally, you hear rumors of you know, people churning up 1787 01:25:23,372 --> 01:25:28,572 Speaker 15: that you know, people's oh generals at the airport. 1788 01:25:29,093 --> 01:25:31,852 Speaker 3: You know, sorry we just lost you there. Sorry, we 1789 01:25:31,893 --> 01:25:34,532 Speaker 3: just lost you there briefly you just put back up. 1790 01:25:35,612 --> 01:25:35,812 Speaker 15: Yeah. 1791 01:25:36,093 --> 01:25:38,452 Speaker 14: I think there are examples of commision now people chitting 1792 01:25:38,492 --> 01:25:42,173 Speaker 14: about other people's houses and sort of laying laying a 1793 01:25:42,213 --> 01:25:44,253 Speaker 14: bit of well you better help out or else. 1794 01:25:44,893 --> 01:25:46,372 Speaker 15: I think that's definitely part of it. 1795 01:25:46,732 --> 01:25:48,572 Speaker 26: And I think even if that doesn't happen in the 1796 01:25:48,612 --> 01:25:52,053 Speaker 26: early stages of that sort of corruption, I think that 1797 01:25:52,732 --> 01:25:56,293 Speaker 26: once you've got on the home, the fear of it 1798 01:25:56,093 --> 01:25:57,732 Speaker 26: is going to keep you there, right. 1799 01:25:57,732 --> 01:26:01,412 Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're now in. You are now and so 1800 01:26:01,652 --> 01:26:05,333 Speaker 2: liable for anyone being rating you out. So so it's 1801 01:26:05,372 --> 01:26:09,053 Speaker 2: called the rip on ripoff method, I understand, Jared. So 1802 01:26:09,093 --> 01:26:13,572 Speaker 2: how does that actually work? When does it? So baggage 1803 01:26:13,572 --> 01:26:16,013 Speaker 2: comes in and it seems to have this sort of 1804 01:26:16,093 --> 01:26:20,933 Speaker 2: free range situation before it's engaged with any kind of customs. 1805 01:26:21,692 --> 01:26:24,892 Speaker 14: Yeah, so you need sort of corrupt the baggage handlers 1806 01:26:24,933 --> 01:26:27,213 Speaker 14: at both ends of the flight. So a lot of 1807 01:26:27,213 --> 01:26:29,812 Speaker 14: these flights are coming from the United States. This is 1808 01:26:29,893 --> 01:26:33,492 Speaker 14: carteil drugs coming here. And what's happening is someone in 1809 01:26:33,692 --> 01:26:37,372 Speaker 14: LA will put the bags on. There will be anywhere 1810 01:26:37,372 --> 01:26:40,453 Speaker 14: between ten to twenty kilos of methyl cocaine. 1811 01:26:41,412 --> 01:26:45,412 Speaker 27: Most often those bags are sort of swept through the 1812 01:26:45,492 --> 01:26:48,932 Speaker 27: airport in la into the bulkhold of the plane, right, 1813 01:26:49,933 --> 01:26:53,692 Speaker 27: photographs of those bags, those particular bags will be sent 1814 01:26:53,853 --> 01:26:57,012 Speaker 27: to the baggage handlers at this end of it, saying 1815 01:26:57,173 --> 01:27:00,652 Speaker 27: look out for these bags on this particular flight, and 1816 01:27:00,692 --> 01:27:03,293 Speaker 27: then the baggagechandlers at this end will kind of coordinate 1817 01:27:03,333 --> 01:27:07,052 Speaker 27: themselves to make sure that they're able to access that flight. 1818 01:27:07,532 --> 01:27:10,372 Speaker 27: At the other end, they get into the plane, they 1819 01:27:10,372 --> 01:27:12,492 Speaker 27: pull them out and instead of putting them on the 1820 01:27:12,572 --> 01:27:15,573 Speaker 27: on the baggage carousel with your bags and mine, and 1821 01:27:15,652 --> 01:27:19,653 Speaker 27: let's face it, they're often often get lost. These particular 1822 01:27:19,652 --> 01:27:22,692 Speaker 27: bags are sort of just they just carry them out 1823 01:27:22,692 --> 01:27:25,213 Speaker 27: the back door basically into their cars and then in 1824 01:27:25,293 --> 01:27:25,852 Speaker 27: a way you go. 1825 01:27:26,053 --> 01:27:28,652 Speaker 2: So, I mean, this seems to be cameras Absolutely everywhere 1826 01:27:28,692 --> 01:27:31,293 Speaker 2: at an airport, every single direction there's a camera. So 1827 01:27:31,372 --> 01:27:35,573 Speaker 2: if Johnny on baggage handling is suddenly leaving with a 1828 01:27:35,612 --> 01:27:39,852 Speaker 2: bag that weighs fifty kgs, then isn't that gonna come 1829 01:27:39,933 --> 01:27:41,253 Speaker 2: up on the on the camera And so that's not 1830 01:27:41,253 --> 01:27:42,092 Speaker 2: what he brought his luncheon. 1831 01:27:43,013 --> 01:27:46,372 Speaker 14: Yeah, And I think your raise a really good point, 1832 01:27:46,452 --> 01:27:49,173 Speaker 14: and I think the airports themselves and some of the 1833 01:27:49,732 --> 01:27:52,173 Speaker 14: aviation services have been a little bit naive to this 1834 01:27:52,572 --> 01:27:55,333 Speaker 14: and kind of in recent years, but have been up, 1835 01:27:55,412 --> 01:27:57,173 Speaker 14: you know, come up to speed a lot because of 1836 01:27:57,213 --> 01:28:01,333 Speaker 14: these investigations. I mean, I'm aware of instances where you know, 1837 01:28:01,412 --> 01:28:05,652 Speaker 14: baggage handlers who work solely at the domestic terminal that 1838 01:28:05,893 --> 01:28:09,812 Speaker 14: are then driving across the tarmac to the international side 1839 01:28:09,853 --> 01:28:12,692 Speaker 14: of things to help out with these loads coming in. 1840 01:28:12,812 --> 01:28:15,013 Speaker 14: I mean, you know that should be raising red flags, 1841 01:28:15,173 --> 01:28:17,652 Speaker 14: and it has in more recent times. 1842 01:28:18,612 --> 01:28:21,933 Speaker 15: But you're absolutely right. There's cameras everywhere, there's security everywhere. 1843 01:28:22,893 --> 01:28:25,333 Speaker 14: You would think that these sorts of things would be 1844 01:28:25,372 --> 01:28:30,572 Speaker 14: getting noticed more often, and I think they will be 1845 01:28:30,572 --> 01:28:33,852 Speaker 14: because there's a greater awareness now that the border is 1846 01:28:34,213 --> 01:28:38,133 Speaker 14: far more porous because of these lax security protocols. 1847 01:28:38,213 --> 01:28:40,732 Speaker 3: Are they working the shifts as well? Jared? As in 1848 01:28:40,812 --> 01:28:44,213 Speaker 3: that you might have one baggage handler who's compromised, but 1849 01:28:44,333 --> 01:28:47,013 Speaker 3: clearly there's more than one operating at a time. So 1850 01:28:47,053 --> 01:28:50,372 Speaker 3: are they rigging the shifts that you've got multiple guys 1851 01:28:50,372 --> 01:28:52,692 Speaker 3: who are on the hook at one time to prevent 1852 01:28:52,692 --> 01:28:54,333 Speaker 3: anybody saying, hey, what the hell are you doing? 1853 01:28:55,333 --> 01:28:57,932 Speaker 14: Yeah, And I think what they do tend to the 1854 01:28:57,933 --> 01:29:00,572 Speaker 14: ones that I've seen do tend to be working in 1855 01:29:00,572 --> 01:29:02,053 Speaker 14: groups of three or four. 1856 01:29:02,572 --> 01:29:03,253 Speaker 15: The one of. 1857 01:29:03,173 --> 01:29:06,013 Speaker 14: Those baggage handlers will normally be the conduit to the 1858 01:29:06,093 --> 01:29:09,892 Speaker 14: organized crime groups, so they will be ship thing, you know, 1859 01:29:09,933 --> 01:29:13,133 Speaker 14: they'll be sharing roster information to be like this is 1860 01:29:13,173 --> 01:29:16,612 Speaker 14: when our guys are on at the airport. And so 1861 01:29:16,692 --> 01:29:20,213 Speaker 14: therefore the crime groups will be saying, well, let's, you know, 1862 01:29:20,333 --> 01:29:23,652 Speaker 14: let's make sure that the timing of our product coming 1863 01:29:23,692 --> 01:29:26,612 Speaker 14: in coincides with when we've got our guys on the 1864 01:29:26,612 --> 01:29:27,772 Speaker 14: ground that we can rely on. 1865 01:29:28,133 --> 01:29:29,852 Speaker 15: And you know, often it's the same. 1866 01:29:30,173 --> 01:29:34,772 Speaker 14: Allegedly, in this particular case, the one group of baggage 1867 01:29:34,812 --> 01:29:38,293 Speaker 14: handlers is sort of working on behalf of multiple different 1868 01:29:38,293 --> 01:29:39,532 Speaker 14: groups bringing drugs in. 1869 01:29:39,652 --> 01:29:43,333 Speaker 15: So it's no one as having a door into the country. 1870 01:29:42,893 --> 01:29:46,532 Speaker 14: And then that service is almost sort of being you know, 1871 01:29:46,732 --> 01:29:49,093 Speaker 14: farmed out to everybody who wants to get drugs in. 1872 01:29:49,133 --> 01:29:52,213 Speaker 15: It's it's not just one group.

Matthew, 2061 01:39:43,532 --> 01:39:44,812 Speaker 2: welcome to the show. You know a bit about the 2062 01:39:44,812 --> 01:39:47,093 Speaker 2: smuggled phones, Yes, I do. 2063 01:39:47,372 --> 01:39:49,013 Speaker 19: I've got to be careful what I say you because I 2064 01:39:49,013 --> 01:39:51,572 Speaker 19: don't want to betray the trust of somebody that I 2065 01:39:51,612 --> 01:39:55,053 Speaker 19: know better. Somebody quite close to us works in the 2066 01:39:55,093 --> 01:39:59,732 Speaker 19: prison service and the correctionals as a correctional officer. I 2067 01:39:59,732 --> 01:40:05,093 Speaker 19: won't say where, and he doesn't he doesn't partake in 2068 01:40:05,173 --> 01:40:08,772 Speaker 19: this at all. But he has told me that going 2069 01:40:08,933 --> 01:40:12,173 Speaker 19: rate for a phone if you smuggle a phone, which 2070 01:40:12,213 --> 01:40:14,652 Speaker 19: is very easy to do because the officers are not 2071 01:40:14,812 --> 01:40:18,293 Speaker 19: checked when they go on duty, right, so you can 2072 01:40:18,333 --> 01:40:21,212 Speaker 19: smuggle the phone and the going rate is ten thousand 2073 01:40:21,213 --> 01:40:22,052 Speaker 19: dollars per phone. 2074 01:40:22,173 --> 01:40:25,213 Speaker 3: Wow, wow, that is very enticing. 2075 01:40:25,652 --> 01:40:27,532 Speaker 19: Yeah it is. Well, you know, someone wants to go 2076 01:40:27,572 --> 01:40:30,013 Speaker 19: for an overseas holiday, I wants a new car, or 2077 01:40:30,053 --> 01:40:32,372 Speaker 19: if you want to smuggle in three phones, it's thirty grand. 2078 01:40:32,372 --> 01:40:34,173 Speaker 19: You could buy yourself a new car, you know, which 2079 01:40:34,253 --> 01:40:36,972 Speaker 19: is nice, but it's a lot of money. So basically 2080 01:40:37,053 --> 01:40:38,652 Speaker 19: it comes down to the fact that you know, like 2081 01:40:38,692 --> 01:40:42,092 Speaker 19: the customs officers, everybody has a price. 2082 01:40:42,452 --> 01:40:45,173 Speaker 3: Yeah right, Well, and what do you do with that 2083 01:40:45,293 --> 01:40:47,652 Speaker 3: money after though? That's what I can never understand that 2084 01:40:47,652 --> 01:40:50,572 Speaker 3: forty k Jared was saying for the baggage, Chandler's ten 2085 01:40:50,652 --> 01:40:53,253 Speaker 3: k for the phone. At that point, you can't just 2086 01:40:53,293 --> 01:40:55,612 Speaker 3: go and cast that money into the bank. There's going 2087 01:40:55,652 --> 01:40:57,812 Speaker 3: to be people asking questions. So I assume it would 2088 01:40:57,812 --> 01:40:59,892 Speaker 3: have to be cashed. It goes deeper than that, right, yeah, 2089 01:40:59,933 --> 01:41:03,053 Speaker 3: even cash, or there might be money laundering things. 2090 01:41:03,933 --> 01:41:06,692 Speaker 19: Yeah right, it is cash, you know, so you could 2091 01:41:06,692 --> 01:41:11,692 Speaker 19: easily money launder ten twenty thirty thousand dollars. But don't 2092 01:41:11,692 --> 01:41:13,093 Speaker 19: ask me because I've never done it. 2093 01:41:13,213 --> 01:41:15,692 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, you know, casino, for instance, the 2094 01:41:15,732 --> 01:41:17,572 Speaker 3: other side of it would have to be as well. 2095 01:41:17,572 --> 01:41:19,372 Speaker 2: Once it's in there. So you've got the guys get 2096 01:41:19,412 --> 01:41:21,293 Speaker 2: ten k to get through. But then you've got all 2097 01:41:21,293 --> 01:41:23,973 Speaker 2: the other prison guards that aren't noticing someone that's got 2098 01:41:24,013 --> 01:41:29,372 Speaker 2: a iPhone seventeen plugged in with a charger and there sell. 2099 01:41:29,933 --> 01:41:33,372 Speaker 19: Well, they hide it very carefully, and you know, I 2100 01:41:33,372 --> 01:41:35,213 Speaker 19: mean there's not a lot of scrutiny goes on. I 2101 01:41:35,213 --> 01:41:39,253 Speaker 19: mean they just honestly, the prison guards just sort of 2102 01:41:39,253 --> 01:41:43,093 Speaker 19: shrug their shoulders. They know it goes on, and some 2103 01:41:43,133 --> 01:41:45,692 Speaker 19: of them partake in it and some don't. The person 2104 01:41:45,772 --> 01:41:51,052 Speaker 19: I know certainly doesn't, but he knows of other guards 2105 01:41:51,053 --> 01:41:56,492 Speaker 19: that do. They don't squeal on one another. The repercussions 2106 01:41:56,532 --> 01:42:00,972 Speaker 19: would be pretty severe if you did that. And it's 2107 01:42:01,013 --> 01:42:04,013 Speaker 19: a common thing if you want some cash, just a 2108 01:42:04,093 --> 01:42:06,253 Speaker 19: magglin the phone ten thousand bucks per pone. 2109 01:42:07,173 --> 01:42:09,053 Speaker 2: And I guess if you're a prison and I'm not 2110 01:42:09,853 --> 01:42:11,772 Speaker 2: defending this any way, shape or form, but it's kind 2111 01:42:11,772 --> 01:42:14,812 Speaker 2: of like parents putting an eye you know, iPad in 2112 01:42:14,812 --> 01:42:18,213 Speaker 2: front of their kid, you know, iPad babysitting or TV babysitting, 2113 01:42:18,532 --> 01:42:20,333 Speaker 2: you speak, calling in the alder.

I mean, does that start to make sense? 2239 01:47:54,812 --> 01:47:55,812 Speaker 3: Is that it all doable? 2240 01:47:57,853 --> 01:48:01,053 Speaker 16: Yeah? Because I was thinking about it, and I was thinking, yeah, 2241 01:48:01,093 --> 01:48:03,572 Speaker 16: in the old days, it was because when I started there, 2242 01:48:03,612 --> 01:48:06,972 Speaker 16: the first teen years or so, you're probably the first 2243 01:48:06,973 --> 01:48:09,333 Speaker 16: teen years, you used to be able to just when 2244 01:48:09,372 --> 01:48:11,852 Speaker 16: you started work and left work, you could just walk 2245 01:48:11,893 --> 01:48:13,692 Speaker 16: in through a number of doors and there was no 2246 01:48:13,732 --> 01:48:16,652 Speaker 16: security or anything, so you just take your own bag 2247 01:48:16,692 --> 01:48:19,492 Speaker 16: and whatever you wanted in there, and the same when 2248 01:48:19,492 --> 01:48:21,732 Speaker 16: you left, you know, you could just walk out with 2249 01:48:21,812 --> 01:48:24,532 Speaker 16: your own bag or someone else's bag or whatever, you know, 2250 01:48:24,612 --> 01:48:29,852 Speaker 16: and there was no security or anything to scan it 2251 01:48:29,933 --> 01:48:32,293 Speaker 16: or check it or anything. So in the old days, yeah, 2252 01:48:32,333 --> 01:48:35,013 Speaker 16: it would have been quite easy to get away with 2253 01:48:35,053 --> 01:48:37,372 Speaker 16: that sort of stuff. And I was kind of thinking 2254 01:48:37,412 --> 01:48:40,012 Speaker 16: because it was only five years ago. When I say 2255 01:48:40,013 --> 01:48:43,133 Speaker 16: only five years ago, it's five years ago when I 2256 01:48:43,293 --> 01:48:46,652 Speaker 16: retired and talking to some of the boys that are 2257 01:48:46,652 --> 01:48:50,012 Speaker 16: still keeping contact with and that they tell me now 2258 01:48:50,093 --> 01:48:55,612 Speaker 16: that you can only go through one door. That's always 2259 01:48:57,772 --> 01:49:00,013 Speaker 16: got security. You know, it's always got security on it, 2260 01:49:00,173 --> 01:49:03,532 Speaker 16: scanning when you come to work or leave work, you know, 2261 01:49:03,612 --> 01:49:06,333 Speaker 16: scanning your bags and that sort of thing, especially when 2262 01:49:06,372 --> 01:49:09,732 Speaker 16: you start, so you have to go through one point, 2263 01:49:09,772 --> 01:49:14,173 Speaker 16: whereas in the past you didn't. And even when I 2264 01:49:14,333 --> 01:49:18,093 Speaker 16: was also when I was working there, even if you 2265 01:49:18,532 --> 01:49:20,253 Speaker 16: I was what they call back a house is a 2266 01:49:20,333 --> 01:49:22,732 Speaker 16: bag baggage hell. And then they in front of houses, 2267 01:49:22,853 --> 01:49:26,093 Speaker 16: the counterstaff and the black people, and you could be 2268 01:49:26,173 --> 01:49:28,972 Speaker 16: working out in the back and you have to go 2269 01:49:29,053 --> 01:49:32,612 Speaker 16: out with a bag inquiry because the passenger hasn't turned up, 2270 01:49:32,732 --> 01:49:35,492 Speaker 16: or a bag or someone calls you and you need 2271 01:49:35,532 --> 01:49:38,293 Speaker 16: to make an inquiry, or a bags got a funny sound, 2272 01:49:38,412 --> 01:49:43,253 Speaker 16: or you know, it's for whatever reason. Even then, like 2273 01:49:43,692 --> 01:49:46,772 Speaker 16: they'd have security set up. And even though these people, 2274 01:49:47,652 --> 01:49:49,892 Speaker 16: after you've worked there for a number of years, you know, 2275 01:49:49,933 --> 01:49:51,852 Speaker 16: you'd see the same people day and day out, and 2276 01:49:51,853 --> 01:49:53,932 Speaker 16: they see you at that so they'd know you sort 2277 01:49:53,933 --> 01:49:56,293 Speaker 16: of thing.

Also, if you were coming 2310 01:51:34,133 --> 01:51:37,053 Speaker 16: from an international to go on to a domestic, there 2311 01:51:37,133 --> 01:51:39,532 Speaker 16: is that period where you could sort of be in 2312 01:51:39,572 --> 01:51:42,133 Speaker 16: a blank space, as they say, But most of the 2313 01:51:42,213 --> 01:51:45,412 Speaker 16: time people would check right through too, you know. So 2314 01:51:45,652 --> 01:51:48,572 Speaker 16: like if you were going onto an international or go 2315 01:51:48,652 --> 01:51:50,372 Speaker 16: on to a domestic, you wouldn't. 2316 01:51:49,973 --> 01:51:50,812 Speaker 4: Pick your bag up. 2317 01:51:50,893 --> 01:51:53,932 Speaker 16: It would be checked right through until until you get 2318 01:51:53,933 --> 01:51:54,933 Speaker 16: to your end destination. 2319 01:51:55,492 --> 01:51:57,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, interesting stuff. 2320 01:51:57,293 --> 01:51:57,452 Speaker 5: Pill. 2321 01:51:57,532 --> 01:52:00,333 Speaker 3: Thank you very much for your expertise on that. Nine 2322 01:52:00,412 --> 01:52:02,133 Speaker 3: two ninety two is the text number. 2323 01:52:02,293 --> 01:52:04,972 Speaker 2: Hi, guys, the person you have on now is wrong 2324 01:52:05,013 --> 01:52:06,812 Speaker 2: about the prison. This was not the person that wasn't 2325 01:52:06,812 --> 01:52:08,933 Speaker 2: just fill the head on about present and guards not 2326 01:52:09,293 --> 01:52:11,852 Speaker 2: getting checked when they go behind the wire. All people, 2327 01:52:11,853 --> 01:52:14,692 Speaker 2: including prison guards go through the same system as everyone else, 2328 01:52:14,692 --> 01:52:17,333 Speaker 2: which is the same X ray machines that are used 2329 01:52:17,372 --> 01:52:21,372 Speaker 2: at the airports. Also, all prisons have cell phone jamming systems. 2330 01:52:21,452 --> 01:52:23,612 Speaker 2: I know this is as in my last job, my 2331 01:52:23,692 --> 01:52:27,372 Speaker 2: company had the facilities maintenance contract and I regularly visited 2332 01:52:27,412 --> 01:52:31,852 Speaker 2: local prisons and went behind the wire regularly. Cheers Pete. 2333 01:52:32,253 --> 01:52:38,572 Speaker 2: That's interesting because in this case, allegedly this gang member 2334 01:52:39,093 --> 01:52:42,973 Speaker 2: gang leader was orchestrating with a cell phone that had 2335 01:52:42,973 --> 01:52:44,812 Speaker 2: been smuggled into the prison. Yeah, that's what the police 2336 01:52:44,853 --> 01:52:46,972 Speaker 2: are alliging. Yep, exactly, So there must be some way 2337 01:52:46,973 --> 01:52:49,772 Speaker 2: to get them in. Yeah, and avoid the jammers as well. 2338 01:52:50,133 --> 01:52:52,253 Speaker 2: The sticks here geta boys. I used to deliver bread 2339 01:52:52,253 --> 01:52:55,452 Speaker 2: to Remutaka prison at night and regularly saw people standing 2340 01:52:55,492 --> 01:52:57,932 Speaker 2: in the shadows with a tennis racket and they would 2341 01:52:58,013 --> 01:52:59,933 Speaker 2: hit balls full of drugs over the fences to be 2342 01:52:59,933 --> 01:53:01,412 Speaker 2: picked up in the morning by the inmates. 2343 01:53:01,612 --> 01:53:05,213 Speaker 3: That's from John. I mean, if you're standing there with 2344 01:53:05,213 --> 01:53:07,173 Speaker 3: a tennis racket, clearly you're up to no good. But 2345 01:53:07,253 --> 01:53:09,852 Speaker 3: keep those ticks coming through. On nine to nine two 2346 01:53:10,093 --> 01:53:13,132 Speaker 3: beg very shortly.

Dave 2351 01:53:26,293 --> 01:53:29,612 Speaker 3: how are you afternoon, mate? Very well and you guys, 2352 01:53:29,692 --> 01:53:31,612 Speaker 3: yeah good, so tell us tell us of you. 2353 01:53:32,772 --> 01:53:37,452 Speaker 5: Okay, So airports, we've done it many, many, many are 2354 01:53:37,452 --> 01:53:40,012 Speaker 5: times with cigarettes. Now, I don't know if it would 2355 01:53:40,053 --> 01:53:42,692 Speaker 5: work for drugs. But what you do is if you 2356 01:53:42,812 --> 01:53:47,333 Speaker 5: declare something on your custom form, like food, when you 2357 01:53:47,372 --> 01:53:49,612 Speaker 5: go up, they ask you what type of food do 2358 01:53:49,692 --> 01:53:52,452 Speaker 5: you have? If you say that you've got prepackaged food. 2359 01:53:52,572 --> 01:53:55,093 Speaker 5: So we're always coming from the States, we always say 2360 01:53:55,093 --> 01:53:58,173 Speaker 5: we've got lollies and candy and biscuits and all that, 2361 01:53:59,293 --> 01:54:02,093 Speaker 5: what they'll do is they'll say, okay, so no meat, 2362 01:54:02,213 --> 01:54:05,333 Speaker 5: no nothing, Yeah, no meat, no nothing, Okay, go down 2363 01:54:05,372 --> 01:54:08,933 Speaker 5: the green stripe. So you follow the green and you 2364 01:54:08,973 --> 01:54:11,572 Speaker 5: walk past the beagles, and your bags don't go through 2365 01:54:11,572 --> 01:54:12,893 Speaker 5: the X ray machines. 2366 01:54:13,532 --> 01:54:17,572 Speaker 3: Right, So is that, you know? Is that a sure thing, though, Dave? 2367 01:54:17,692 --> 01:54:19,852 Speaker 3: Or is that a bit of discretion involved there? 2368 01:54:20,812 --> 01:54:21,372 Speaker 2: I don't know. 2369 01:54:21,612 --> 01:54:24,452 Speaker 5: I think, well, we've never had to put our bags 2370 01:54:24,452 --> 01:54:26,812 Speaker 5: through X rays because we always say that we've got 2371 01:54:26,893 --> 01:54:31,612 Speaker 5: declared and we've taken cartons of cigarettes through obviously for 2372 01:54:31,652 --> 01:54:37,013 Speaker 5: personal use. But yes, I suspect that I don't think 2373 01:54:37,053 --> 01:54:40,533 Speaker 5: that those dogs are drug dogs. I think they do 2374 01:54:40,733 --> 01:54:43,053 Speaker 5: meat and fruit and all that sort of stuff. Those 2375 01:54:43,053 --> 01:54:43,852 Speaker 5: little beagles thing. 2376 01:54:44,093 --> 01:54:45,293 Speaker 2: Yes, the beagle dogs. 2377 01:54:45,413 --> 01:54:48,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're looking loudly looking for ham sandwiches most of 2378 01:54:48,173 --> 01:54:49,972 Speaker 3: the time rather than drugs. But I think I think 2379 01:54:50,053 --> 01:54:52,892 Speaker 3: some of them do exist. But again, yeah, you know, 2380 01:54:52,973 --> 01:54:54,772 Speaker 3: it's hard to tell, isn't it whether the beagle was 2381 01:54:54,812 --> 01:54:56,493 Speaker 3: looking for cocaine or ham sandwiches. 2382 01:54:57,493 --> 01:55:00,453 Speaker 5: Yeah, now that I've said this that we're never going 2383 01:55:00,533 --> 01:55:02,012 Speaker 5: to be getting cigarettes through again. 2384 01:55:03,213 --> 01:55:05,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like a loophole to me, Dave.
