Leaders at the summit, including 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: Ukrainian President Zelenski, have agreed that now is not the 43 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: time to lift sanctions on Russia, and French President Emmanuel 44 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: Macron says European countries will deploy a reassurance force to 45 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: Ukraine after a peace deal is secured. 46 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: No sanctions should be lifted unless peace has been established 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: for good. We will continue exerting pressure from the economic 48 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 4: viewpoints on the shadow fleets, and we will continuemabilization. 49 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: And finally, Germany says it will not give in and 50 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: that Europe must respond firmly.

Immediately, 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: Shares in Frankfort for Porsche, Mercedes and BMW fell sharply, 56 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: alongside the French firm. Stilentis that the makers of Jeep 57 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: Pergot and Fiat. 58 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 5: This will continue to spur growth like you haven't seen. 59 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 5: Before I was elected, we were losing all of our plants, 60 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 5: so we're being built in Mexico and Canada and other places. 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 5: Now those plants largely have stopped and they're moving on 62 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 5: to our country. 63 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: And is now ten after five News and Views you 64 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: Trust to start your day. 65 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: It's early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make 66 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: your Property Search Simple. 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 6: You talk said, be. 68 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: Hey, good morning to you. So with the global blacklash 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: against diversity hiring under the banner of it being woke, 70 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: it's important to remember how all this started. When a 71 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: sector became excessively dominated by a gender or a race, 72 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: questions were asked why those sectors weren't reflective of, you know, 73 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 2: the overall population. If seventeen percent of the population a Maori, 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: then why isn't seventeen percent of the doctors. If fifty 75 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: one percent of the population are women, why are fifty 76 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: one percent of engineers women? Or here we go, why 77 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 2: aren't forty nine percent of teachers men? So there's a 78 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: real politic here. Some professions are just preferred by different genders, 79 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: and some races are educationally disadvantaged. So to make things 80 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: more representative, some sectors took what they call proactive measures. 81 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: Now where DEI comes unstuck is when people are promoted 82 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: above their ability. At the end of the day, we 83 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: are still a meritocracy where the best people get the 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: most responsible positions, no matter your sex or color. Now, 85 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,119 Speaker 2: the latest diversity concerned in this country is the law. 86 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: The New Zealand Bar Association has just released a report 87 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: into gender in their profession and they've asked the question, 88 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: why is the there are only thirty percent of women 89 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: in senior law positions when female lawyers make up fifty 90 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: five percent of lawyers. That disparity is only exaggerated. Amongst 91 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: lawyers with less than seven years experience. In that cohort, 92 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: sixty four percent are women. But they're not carrying on 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: to the top. So the Bar Association says, all the 94 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: old boys club still exist, but at a smaller level 95 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: than before, and maybe we should do something about it. 96 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 2: But you know, it should be remembered that parenthood takes 97 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: women out of the sector. Men keep on piling up 98 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: the billable hours and curing their way up the ladder. 99 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: They work like dogs. Lawyers learn the game. They know 100 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: if they want the gig, they have to display the drive. 101 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 2: So if I was to have a concern about the 102 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: law and gender, my concern would be amongst judges. If ever, 103 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: there was a profession that should be representative of our population, 104 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: it's judges. So should we be worried? Well, I took 105 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: a look at it. Sixty percent of district court judges 106 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: are men. What's that about? But hey, hold on, hold 107 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: your horses. Sixty percent of our Supreme Court judges are women, 108 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: including the Chief Justice, the boss of them all is 109 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: a woman. And isn't that proof that there is no 110 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: glass ceiling. If you want it, you can get it. 111 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: And if women don't want it, well they're not going 112 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: to go out and get it. It's twenty twenty five 113 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: and this issue has been around for a while, and 114 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: sometimes you know, it's just because people do what they 115 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: do and what they do varies because of their sex 116 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: and gender, rather than some overruching prejudice. Andrew dickens thirteen 117 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: out to five. It's the harshest decision in the sport 118 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: and it's a global news story and now it's official. 119 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: Liam Lawson's been taken out of the Red Bull team, 120 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: replaced by Yuki Sonoda. Liam, though still racing this weekend 121 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: for the racing bulls very big punt by Christian Horner 122 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: because of Yuki is beaten by Liam. Then the problem 123 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: is not the driver but the car, a car that 124 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: Max vs Stappen has already said is just not fast enough. 125 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 2: And if it's the then Red Bull has a very 126 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: big problem indeed, and that problem is not Liam Lawson. 127 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: So I really hope that Liam has taken the decision 128 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: with the grain of salt and goes out and proves 129 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: all his critics wrong. I think we're all there with that, 130 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: aren't we. Aim From what I hear, he's taking it 131 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: all without standing grace. He understands what's happened, he understands 132 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: what he needs now to do, and I have to 133 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: say he's so impressive. I don't know how many people 134 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: could deal with the sort of pressure that this young 135 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: lad has had so far. What an amazing fortnight five fourteen. 136 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: All right, the public service job cuts. Judith Collins came 137 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: out yesterday said we've done great double of what we 138 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: said we would do. But was that enough? Can they 139 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: do more? In a moment, I'm talking to Sir lockwood Smith, 140 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: the former Associate Minister of Finance and Speaker of the House. 141 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: This is Newstalk zeb. 142 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: The news you need this morning and the in depth 143 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make 144 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: Your Properties So Simple News Talk Sidy. 145 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 2: It's good morning to you.

The government's ahead of 147 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: schedule with public service job cuts. So their goal was 148 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: to cut four hundred million dollars in spending on consultants 149 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: and contractors over two years, but Judith Collins says they're 150 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: actually on track to count eight hundred million in the 151 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 2: same time frame.

Why 172 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 2: did all countries go down this track? 173 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 7: To give you a feel, Andrew for just the ridiculous increase. 174 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 7: You know, when I was Minister of Education, Now admittedly 175 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 7: that was a long time ago, I ran the entire 176 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 7: tertiary system, including industry training, with thirteen officials. Today four 177 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 7: hundred do that job, and they just get in the 178 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 7: way of the providers. You know, these providers out there 179 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 7: working hard to try and deliver education have to handle 180 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 7: all the bureaucratic requirements of that huge staff increase. When 181 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 7: I became Speaker, I reduced the judges of the Speaker's 182 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 7: Office by fifty percent reduced by fifty percent, and I 183 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 7: think most people say the Speaker's office probably ran you know, 184 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 7: at least as well, if not better. 185 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: Look at so can I just ask one last question. 186 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: She's done well eight hundred million so far. Is there 187 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: more that she can cut? 188 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 7: Well, I'm not in a position about the comment on 189 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 7: that all and I wouldn't recommend what's you know exactly 190 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 7: what's happening in the US right now, but we do 191 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 7: have to make sure. We've got a real problem with 192 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 7: productivity in this country. And you can partly see why, 193 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 7: you know, you've got so much unproductive work going on 194 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 7: if you like, by well meaning you know, good people 195 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 7: in the public sector, but just lack of focus on 196 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 7: what's really needed to deliver an effective public sector. And 197 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 7: as I say, we're seeing it not just New Zealand 198 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 7: but in other countries as well. 199 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: So lookwuld I thank you so much for your time 200 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 2: for getting up early for us.

Just extraordinary. I was reading a guy 207 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 2: called Thomas maher the other day from Planet f one 208 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: and wouldn't you know, I'm talking to him next. 209 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 8: Here are news talks here b the first Word on 210 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 8: the News of the Day Early edition with Andrew Dickens 211 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 8: and one Roof to make your Property Search and simple 212 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 8: news talk Zibby. 213 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: It's by twenty two if you've just woken up.

Boss Christian Horner says 218 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: this is a purely sporting decision and there's a duty 219 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: of care to protect and develop Lawson. Formula one editor 220 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: and journalist at planetf one dot comas Thomas ma who 221 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: joins me. Now, good morning to you, Thomas, Oh, good. 222 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 9: Morning, how are you? 223 00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 3: No? 224 00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 9: Thanks for having me on. 225 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 2: I'm in New Zealand and obviously I'm outraged at this 226 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: decision and I get the feeling that Red Bulls running 227 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: around like chickens without a head. 228 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 9: It is a little bit of a chaotic situation. I 229 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 9: think that's developed over the last couple of weeks. From 230 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 9: speaking to sources on both sides of the story over 231 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 9: the last twenty four hours, the feeling very much is 232 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 9: that it was just a little bit too much too 233 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 9: soon for Lim in appointing him at Red Bull, and 234 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 9: that's the safest thing to do to protect Lim and 235 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 9: to look after basically his future, his mentality, his mindset, 236 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 9: his competitiveness for the future, is to drop him back 237 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 9: into the racing bull seat and give the Red Bull 238 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 9: seat to someone a little bit more experienced. On that 239 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 9: man then is Yuki Sonoda. Lim obviously struggled a little 240 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 9: bit for performance over the two opening weekends of the 241 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 9: twenty twenty five Championship in Australia and China, and it 242 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 9: was a little bit panic stations, I think at Red 243 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 9: Bull because there was nothing to suggest that that Lim 244 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 9: was going to be able to turn it around in 245 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 9: the short term. So for those reasons, as I said, 246 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 9: the decision has been taken to protect Lim. And from 247 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 9: speaking to two members of Lawson's camp, the feeling in 248 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 9: the camp is that this is the right move that 249 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 9: they're welcoming the decision and the possibility of, you know, 250 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 9: protecting Lawson's future and his mindset for the future. 251 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: It's a big risk by Christian Horner because of course, 252 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 2: if Liam gets into the racing BULLCA races at Suzuka, 253 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: at Trekking knows very very well, and then blitzes Yuki, 254 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: then finally the blame will come back not on the 255 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 2: driver but on the car. 256 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 9: Very much so. And Liam has been open about the 257 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 9: fact that the Red Bull OVERB twenty one has been 258 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 9: a very difficult car for him to drive. And I 259 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 9: think what we've seen over the last couple of years 260 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 9: is that, you know, the the car alongside Max Forstappen 261 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 9: has traditionally struggled for competitiveness and Lim is no different 262 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 9: in that regard. He's jumped in the car, he has 263 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 9: struggled to adjust immediately. Some of that seems to be 264 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 9: on his side, some of it seems to be on 265 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 9: the car side. And I think we're gonna get answered 266 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 9: very quickly on this because Yuki Sonoda is a known quantity. 267 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 9: Granted he hasn't got the experience with this exact car, 268 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 9: but Yuki is an established member of the upper midfield. 269 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 9: So if he suddenly jumps into the car and qualifies, 270 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 9: you know, eighteen twentieth, as we've seen with Lim, it 271 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 9: seems it would seem to be pretty definitive that the 272 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 9: car is the bigger issue and not so much the driver. 273 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 9: But if Yuki, you know, jumps in the car and 274 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 9: all of a sudden he is making it into Q 275 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 9: three and does pretty well, then that suggests it is 276 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 9: more driver. So it is going to be very interesting 277 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 9: to see what happens at Suzuka, because I don't think 278 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 9: there's anywhere to hide for either Red Bull or you 279 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 9: get Snoda. 280 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: At this point, Thomas Marra, I, thank you so much 281 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: for your time journalist at Planet f one dot com. 282 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: He seemed very diplomatic. Don't you think he does have 283 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: extensive links to Red Bull and has that colored him? 284 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: I see that. Todd reckons that Thomas sounded a little 285 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: bit like a Red BULLPR spokesperson. Another text through looking 286 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: at it from Red Bull's position, they can sell merch 287 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: in Japan with Yuki, that's true. And another text that says, hey, 288 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 2: Max has said the way Liam has been treated as 289 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: nothing more than bullying and there are rumors around that 290 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: Max might even walk about all of this. What a story, 291 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: What a story? News Talks FB. It is now five twenty. 292 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: Six the early edition full show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 293 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: by NEWSTALKSB. 294 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: News Talks HEB five twenty eight. The House was hilarious 295 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: yesterday when St. Peter's turned into a grumpy old Conservative, 296 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: a role he assumes to hoover up votes from his 297 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: constituents rather than the stately foreign minister image he shows 298 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: to the rest of the world. So what was the thing? 299 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: He complained that Ricardo Menender's march the Green MP wore 300 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 2: a leather jacket in the house. It was a glossy 301 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: little number. Question is is it disrespectful raising the question 302 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: about clothes in the workforce? You know, if you wear 303 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: a fifteen hundred dollar designer leather jacket, is that less 304 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: respectful than someone wearing a three hundred dollar sales suit 305 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: from laid Law and leeds from Farmers. I mean, things 306 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: have obviously loosened. Our big boss here wears a jacket, 307 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: but I've never ever seen him in a tie. Casual 308 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: Friday has become casual weekday, and I wasn't worried about 309 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: Ricardo's leather jacket. Even though it gave off boy George 310 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 2: vibes and he looked like he was off to a disco, 311 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: he obviously took care in his look that he turned 312 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: up well groomed, even if he did look like a clown. 313 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: And it's not good the House of Representatives for nothing. 314 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: It should be representative of all of us, including leather 315 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: jacket wearers. And I've sometimes wondered at the ensembles that 316 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: appear on our screens worn by public servants and MPs. 317 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: You know something, are very fancy. Many are obviously expensive, 318 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: purchased on wages provided by the taxpayers, flaunting your public 319 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: purse wealth at us public servants. But the biggest problem 320 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: with riccardo men ends leather jacket is that it's leather. 321 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: I thought Ricardo was a green MP, opposed to products 322 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: derived from animal cruelty. The thing about symbolism is that 323 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: it is symbolic, and Ricardo's leather jacket screamed hypocrisy. 324 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, All right. 325 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: You're going off about Liam, and we'll talk more about 326 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 2: that again later.

Maybe Golras could consult on 339 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: green MP fashion. Haha, funny Heather rights, Are you sure 340 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: it was leather? And I go, well, if he was 341 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: wearing a pleathant jacket, that is certainly disrespectful. And hey, 342 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: here's the thing. Have you noticed how the Greens and 343 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: Too Party Mari seemed to be addicted to fashion labels? Absolutely? 344 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 2: I mean sometimes they talk about to Party Maray and 345 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: their hats and their clothes and all that, saying what 346 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 2: are they wearing? But at the same time, those hats 347 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 2: are not cheap, they pay some money. They like their labels. 348 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 2: Mario Packer, she's one hundred percent of walking billboard for workshop. 349 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: What is it with the Greens to party Mari and clothes. 350 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: There's a question for you now. The topic that is 351 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 2: born board the nation, it is fair to say, came 352 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: to its predictable end yesterday, as just like back in 353 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: twenty eleven when we had the World Cup, Orcan turned 354 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 2: its back on a spectacular vision and instead decided to 355 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 2: renovate the old faithful Eden Park. And for me, it's 356 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 2: like the legacy of thirty years of financial mismanagement of 357 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: all of our infrastructure. We haven't had the money to 358 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 2: do good stuff for a long time now, and we 359 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: know this. When this government came in, they've proclaimed that 360 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: this was the era of need to have instead of 361 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 2: nice to haves. So I guess the waterfront stadium was 362 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: the nice to have and Eten Parks the need to have. 363 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: But you know that stands in opposition to the National 364 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: Party's other mantra, which is we just need to start 365 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 2: saying yes instead of no. But organ still has too 366 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: many stadiums, none are quite fit for purpose. But apparently 367 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 2: that's all we can afford because that's the way we've 368 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: rolled for ages now, so what happens next. Shane Henderson 369 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: was in charge of that committee. He's a counselor at Or. 370 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: He was in charge of that committee that had to 371 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 2: review all the things. We'll ask him what happens next 372 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 2: and where the money is coming from? Before six o'clock. 373 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: It is now twenty one to six and around the 374 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 2: country we go.

The world's oldest gecko 394 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 11: in fact have been found off the coast of North Canterbury. 395 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 11: So two of these reptiles are living on the predator 396 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 11: free Motino Island. Are thought to be somewhere between sixty 397 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 11: and sixty four years old, which is significantly older than 398 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 11: the previous record, which was fifty three. These two were 399 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 11: discovered in nineteen sixty seven and nineteen sixty nine by 400 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 11: late herpetologist Tony Whittaker. Now Department of Conservation ranger Caitlin 401 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 11: Leeds says the gecko's being found just recently during a 402 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 11: five yearly monitoring visit is amazing. She says they were 403 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 11: simply blown away to find the two original lizards. The 404 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 11: way they know that it's them is that they were 405 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 11: individually marked with toe clips by Whittaker back in the sixties. 406 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: Well, okay, I wish I was a gecko.

Hello Max Toll from Willington, Good morning, sir. 413 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: Paul keeps on making headlines. 414 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 12: Yeah yeah, the Green MP of pit and Wellington mornings 415 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 12: this week and claimed to Nick Mills that someone is 416 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 12: currently in prison for shoplifting twelve dollars worth of items. 417 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 12: She was, of course responding to earlier claims that people 418 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 12: don't feel safe with the beat cops around and all 419 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 12: these cops do is harass the homeless. She also criticized 420 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 12: the prison system and gave this a rather shocking shoplifter. 421 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 12: For example, yesterday she was asked for more information about 422 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 12: the case and she said she couldn't provided. Appears she 423 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 12: was told this by an actual prisoner, took them at 424 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 12: face value and has been citing the example in media 425 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 12: to justify her belief that the justice system is too punitive. 426 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 12: Corrections Minister Mark Mitchell says it would be impossible without 427 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 12: that person being a serious violent crime or recidivist offender, 428 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 12: not cited by Mitchell, but indeed a former colleague of 429 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 12: Pools shoplifted nine thousand dollars worth of goods in avoided prison. 430 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 12: Tory Faro appears to be supporting Tamotha Paul. She reposted 431 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 12: the earlier video criticizing police. We asked the mayor if 432 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 12: she has any genuine concerns about police. She told us 433 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 12: no comment, and her office referred us to a council 434 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 12: document that states beat police are a vital initiative in 435 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 12: the CBD. Okay, how's Wellington's party cloudy with isolated showers 436 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 12: for coming?

Now hospital supporter functions 444 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 4: they include guiding visitors and patients, assisting health staff, and 445 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 4: performing all the Edmond tasks. So Itto director met Dinner. 446 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: He's condemning this decision, saying, look this reflects the government's 447 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 4: approach of cutting areas that things that people won't notice. 448 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 4: He says that the health staff they're overstretched, as we 449 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 4: will know, they can't pick up any extra workload. And 450 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 4: Danna has says that this will result in essential work 451 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 4: not being done in the time into the quality it 452 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: needs to be.

The European cars are 477 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 2: very popular in America. So how have they reacted? 478 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 13: Yeah, hugely popular. 479 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 14: You know. 480 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 13: You see a lot of BMW's, a lot of Audi's, 481 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 13: lot of Mercedes Benz in America when you are there. 482 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 13: And it's been a pretty big blow, particularly for Germany, 483 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 13: which has had a struggle over the last few years 484 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 13: with its economy because of being cut off from cheap 485 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 13: Russian gas. And they have said decisively that they will 486 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 13: not give in and that Europe must respond firmly to 487 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 13: this at tax not just on imported cars but also 488 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 13: car parts, you know, and that some of those manufacturers 489 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 13: do have plants in the US. But of course some 490 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 13: of those parts are just manufactured in one site here 491 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 13: in Europe and then sent all the way around the world. 492 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 13: So they're trying to build consensus across Europe, but also 493 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 13: with Canada and Japan as well. All of the car 494 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 13: companies from those nations have seen their stock fall General 495 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 13: Motors as much as seven percent today because they have 496 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 13: sort of a lot of production here in Europe as well, 497 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 13: and it's all tied in this global chain. So there 498 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 13: are perhaps attempts for Canada, Europe and Japan to sort 499 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 13: of act together in sort of retaliatory tariffs, but Donald 500 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 13: Trump has worn it, particularly Canada, of doing anything like that. 501 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 13: So we'll see how this. 502 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 2: Goes absolutely, and we'll see how the American public react, 503 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 2: because they do like the European cars, in the Gypanese cars, 504 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: and their freedom of choice has kind of been taken 505 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: away from them exactly. 506 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 13: And Donald Trump doesn't seem together as well. He's sort 507 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 13: of his defenses. You know, Europeans don't buy our cars. Well, 508 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 13: most American cars aren't fit for European roads because they're 509 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 13: so much smaller, and also we don't have the sort 510 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 13: of subsidized gas prices that they do. Their fuel is 511 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 13: much more you have to have better fuel efficiency here 512 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 13: in Europe to make it cost effective. 513 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: Okay, so European leaders have been meeting in Paris, and 514 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 2: Zelensky is here as well. What can you tell me? 515 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's right. This is another meeting of European leaders 516 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 13: hosted by Emmanuel Macro. Defense heads as well attending this meeting, 517 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 13: they're saying that Putin is simply trying to play for time, 518 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 13: that he's not engaging properly with the talks. But they 519 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 13: are starting to sort of draw up plans for a 520 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 13: mobilization of European forces not seen in a scale for decades, 521 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 13: to be ready to go in as peacekeeping troops. Now, 522 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 13: Ladimir Putin has previously said that he wouldn't want any 523 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 13: NATO soldiers to be put into Ukraine. Now, of course, 524 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 13: that doesn't leave really any European soldiers these days, because 525 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 13: his illegal war in Ukraine meant that even Finland and 526 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 13: Sweden long holdouts had joined NATO in recent years. So 527 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 13: it is sort of more planning for the possibility of 528 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,959 Speaker 13: a ceasefire, but that ceasefire still seems a little bit 529 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 13: out of reach at the moment. 530 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: Finter Mecavini have yourself a great weekend and I thank 531 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: you for joining me. It's eleven to six Coundrew Diggens. 532 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 2: So Eden Park won the predictable vote last night on 533 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: the council hours of debate talking about this. The Key 534 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: Park Phantom Stadium will remain in the pile of maybe 535 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 2: one day. They're not in the clear yet though. Of 536 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 2: course Eden Park needs one hundred million dollars worth of 537 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: funding to actually build a new north stand, which is 538 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: the first stage of their project. So I'm joined now 539 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 2: by Auckland Councilor Shane Henderson who's been across it. 540 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 14: Hello, Shane, got a good morning. 541 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: So this was the predictable outcome, wasn't it because we 542 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 2: said right from the beginning no council funding. Therefore the 543 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 2: one that needed the least council funding gets the nod. 544 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, and we saw with the council staff report before 545 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 14: the meeting that Eden Park had less to do to 546 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 14: become viable. Obviously both had their own issues, but so 547 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 14: from that perspective, you know, it wasn't too surprising as that. 548 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: Okay, so you've said no money, so therefore obviously Nick 549 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: Saltner and his team must be going right now. Cap 550 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: In hand to the government, making this a national problem. 551 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 14: Yeah, and they can have confidence in raising money with 552 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 14: either government or the private sector because they know that 553 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 14: we've got the backing of the city there as they're preferred. 554 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 2: That and weren't they included in the fast track they were. 555 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 14: Yeah, so that's another league up there as well. Should 556 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 14: give the public a bit more confidence too. 557 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 2: So you think is actually going to happen. 558 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 14: Well, yes, it seems so. I mean there's a good 559 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 14: bid team there and I sort of dack their expertise 560 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 14: to try and raise the cash required. 561 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, we've got a load of stadiums in Auckland, three 562 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 2: owned by you and one that is private. The private 563 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 2: one is getting the big nod here, and we're still 564 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 2: no closer to rationalizing all of us. 565 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 9: Yeah. 566 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 14: Well, actually yesterday we passed the vote on that as well, 567 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 14: essentially kept starting a stadium investment plan which should hopefully 568 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 14: guide future planning and future decision making for stadiums in 569 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 14: the city. So it was a huge day for the council. 570 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 2: So is this an investment plan for a future stadium 571 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: or an investment plan to just knock some down and 572 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 2: fix some up. 573 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 14: No, it's an investment plan for the stadiums that we 574 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 14: already have. So we need some decision making principles to 575 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 14: guide that future, and so we've done that yesterday. 576 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: Well the council actually build a permanent stands on the 577 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: south of buncemt because frankly, looking at all that scaffolding 578 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 2: is a bit embarrassing. 579 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 14: Yeah, well that'd be one of the decisions we'll have 580 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 14: to make in the near future. So yeah, it's an 581 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 14: exciting space. But as you say, look at really is 582 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 14: the beginning of the conversation rather than the end. 583 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 2: Okay, the beginning of a conversation, a conversation we've been 584 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 2: having forever, mate. This is exactly the same conversation we 585 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: had in twenty eleven during the Rugby World Cup when 586 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 2: the government offered a half a billion dollars in all comment. 587 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: Oh no, that seems like far too much work. 588 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 14: Oh mate, We didn't have any conversation of two decades 589 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 14: of the setting and I think a lot of people 590 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 14: are pretty sick of it now. But I hope that 591 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 14: this National Stadium conversation is the bit that we can 592 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 14: put to dead as of yesterday. 593 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 2: Good start, all right, well done, Thank you so much. 594 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 2: Shane Henderson for waking up early and talking to us. 595 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 2: Well done to Nick Seutner. Can I just say that 596 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: Nick Seutner, I think it turned up about seven years 597 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: ago from Australia and said right, I'm going to take 598 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 2: this bull by the horns. And he rebranded Eden Park 599 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: as the National Stadium and he he got more concerts there. 600 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 2: He bought a floor for the concerts, he fixed up 601 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 2: the lighting, and he's made the place generally better. And 602 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: his whole aim has been towards this point to actually 603 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: put a new north stand on Eden Park, maybe put 604 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: a roof so we don't get wet when we're watching sport, 605 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 2: and maybe bring us into the twenty first century. I 606 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 2: don't want to live in a country though with needs 607 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: to have rather than nice to have side Anyway, New 608 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 2: Talk said b. It is seven to six on your radio. 609 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: And online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with Andrew Dickens and 610 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: one roof Make your Property Search Simple, Youth Talk, zaid B. 611 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 2: It's five to six on the whole Ricardiment enders March 612 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: Jack Kafuffle and the question of clothes are expensive are 613 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: they then suitable for the house? Roger writes to me 614 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: and says Andrew. What surprised me more on the day 615 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 2: of the infamous hakka in the debating chamber was the 616 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 2: fact that Rawi Titi was wearing white sand shoes in 617 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: the house. Absolutely no respect from the Malu party for standards. 618 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Roger. But were they sand chos 619 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 2: or were they trainers? If you spend two hundred and 620 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: fifty bucks on some expensive designer trainers, are they just 621 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 2: as respectful as some seventy dollars boots from the number 622 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 2: one shoe wearhouse. A man who knows his tartorial elegance 623 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 2: is Mike Hoskins. 624 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 15: Stephen Frye got his knighthood this week in sketches, in sketches, sketches. 625 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 15: And so he was wearing you know. 626 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: The oh sketches, the shoes, so I said. 627 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 15: And so he was wearing the full regalia, as in, 628 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 15: you know, fully dressed up, and he was wearing sketches. 629 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,239 Speaker 15: I assume it's something to do with his help. I 630 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 15: think you only wear sketches if you've got health issues? 631 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 15: Am I right in saying that? Or well, I wouldn't 632 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 15: wear sketches now, I wouldn't wear sketches that you wear crocs. 633 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 15: I got two pairs of crocs, and not only. 634 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 2: Because they're sensible and practical and pragmatic. 635 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 15: They they're good country shoes, is what I've decided. And 636 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 15: so they're better than a gum boat. They're a seasonal 637 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 15: gum boot and they allow you to get across the 638 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 15: property in the land. Whether I'll do it in winter, 639 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 15: I don't know because they've got holes in them. But 640 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 15: I've got some gibbets. I got some gibbets, and so 641 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 15: I've got a warrior's gibbet and a glass of wine 642 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 15: gibbet and stuff like that. 643 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 2: So you know good, you're supposed to have those fancy 644 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 2: what are the gun boots that they wear at Glastonbury 645 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 2: and the hunters? Hunters? 646 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 15: Oh, we got the hunters. 647 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 2: You got hunters, und I've got the hunter I've got 648 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 2: them all. What are you talking about? 649 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 15: Nichola Willis is on a couple of quick things. We've 650 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 15: saved a fortune and consultants hundreds of millions of dollars. 651 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 15: So their target was to say for one hundred they've 652 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 15: done that in too.
