These and many 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 2: other questions answered. More on the Peach dumping scandal and 8 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: whether anyone cares Catherines and France Rods in the UK 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: for us askin it is Tuesday morning, Welcome to at 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: seven past six, Morgan McSweeney. He didn't appoint Peter mandelssoon, 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: of course to Washington, and yet he has lost his 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 2: job because of it. If he had appointed him, he 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 2: should have lost his job. But McSweeney is the red 14 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: meat you feed those that bay in a time of 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: disaster in order to save your own skin. You see. 16 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: It says a lot about Starmer and who he is 17 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: that you would be so blatantly and seemingly willing to 18 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: watch a colleague sacrifice their career to save your butt, 19 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: especially when it isn't going to save it at all. 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: The resignation has proved the Mandlsson appointment is of course 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: a sackable resignation offense, and given it was actually Starmer 22 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: who appointed him and everyone knows it, then it is 23 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: Starmer who will resign or if he doesn't get rolled, 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: suggesting McSweeney actually runs the country. Of course this absurd, 25 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: but when you're desperate, maybe you try anything. What saving 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: Starmer for now is the paperwork on the appointment, and 27 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: how bad it is, it will show he was worn 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: by people like David Lammy then Foreign Secretary not to 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: do it. That alone should seal Starmer's fate. The other 30 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: thing working currently for him is the fact that people 31 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: who could replace him have issues. Angela Rayner has already 32 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: stepped down from a senior roll due to her two 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: homes rainer issue involving houses declarations and tax where Streeting 34 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: is close enough to Mandelson or has been for it 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: to be a problem, and what many regards the ideal candidate. 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: Of course, Andy Burnham isn't even an MP and as 37 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: of recently isn't even allowed to stand in the upcoming 38 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: by election of Manchester, so isn't really available. So it's 39 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: all very good rolling your leader, but a pretty solid 40 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: replacement would be needed, and this is where the growing 41 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: sense of an entire government falling comes into play. If 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: you appoint some sort of caretaker and as trusts of 43 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: the left, if you like, you alert from one disaster 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: to another, all the wild country, fed up already with 45 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: dirt and backstabbing, and incompetence not to mention an economy 46 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,279 Speaker 2: that looks anemic to say the least, turns to alternatives. 47 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: Enter Nigel Farage. The McSweeney sacrifice in theory was to 48 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: stop the bleeding. The Starmer resignation will be designed in 49 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: theory to stop the bleeding. But if it doesn't, Mendelssohn 50 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: will have brought down an entire government. 51 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds. 52 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: Well until the end of denial rolls on. Of course, 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 2: this morning's number ten plan appears to be to roll 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: out people who say stuff like. 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: This the dog end of the Tories where they were 56 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: constantly changing leaders that was one of the things people 57 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: were very angry and fed up about in the country. 58 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: They wanted clear and stable leadership. Kere Starmer should be 59 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: given the space to be able to do that. 60 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: Trouble as there are people who say stuff like this. 61 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 4: At this point, I think everybody in the labor part 62 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 4: who I speak to you right now accepts the reality 63 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 4: that Keir Starmer needs to step aside and someone else 64 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 4: needs to take his place. 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 2: And then kind of big deal people like the Scottish 66 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: labor leader who say stuff like this, I have a. 67 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 5: Genuine friendship with Kir Starmer, but my first priority and 68 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 5: my first loyalty is to my country. 69 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: Scotland Royals and maybe William and Catherine and they've head 70 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: to win in for the first time this morning. 71 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 6: They said they have deep concerns about the revelations that 72 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 6: have come out over the last week or so, and 73 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 6: also that their thoughts are with the victims. Extraordinary really 74 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 6: because it's what we're talking about rather than the purpose 75 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 6: of why he's here in Saudi. 76 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed he's about to start a visit to Saudi, 77 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: which is delicate at the best of times. Side a 78 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: couple of things, what was that man whole search yesterday 79 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: and the Nancy Guthrie case about. 80 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 7: You don't want to find out a week, two weeks, 81 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 7: three weeks from now when you actually catch the aspect 82 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 7: that her body was in there, and so you've got to. 83 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: Check that maybe yourself on this flushdown the toilet. 84 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 4: Maybe some other device that might give them some information 85 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 4: is in there. 86 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: Also in plain another opending shutdown, as the Homeland security 87 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: patch up job from last week is set to expire 88 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: this week. 89 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 8: I absolutely would expect that it's kind of shut down. 90 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 8: I know we the Democrats, we provided I think it 91 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 8: was ten ten kinds of basic things. And then the 92 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 8: Republican pushed back quickly saying that that's like a Christmas 93 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 8: wish list and that they are non starters. 94 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: Finally, ahead of Valentine's Day, Manchester has been named Britain's 95 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: most romantic cities just came in ahead of London and Liverpool. 96 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: The least romantic is Newcastle. Only twenty six percent said 97 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: they were by their partner gift on Valentine's Day. Here's 98 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: the World of ninety ARDA. Nickay went through the roof yesterday. 99 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: Do they love Tucker Ichi? Do they love a two 100 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: third supermajority? Yes, they do more. Shortly twelve past six. 101 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio how 102 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: It by News Talk Zippy. 103 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: A couple of things out of America are judged that 104 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: Trump appointed. He's ruled that the FBI seizure of those 105 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: election ballots out of Georgia the other day. They need 106 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: to be unsealed by tomorrow. The Fulton County Board of 107 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: Commissioner's chair guy called Rob Pitzer, Fulton County Board of 108 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: Registration and Elections. They're also suing the government, so that's 109 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: in play at the moment. Meantime, Gilain Maxwell closed door, 110 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: Capitol Hill pled the fifth, Nothing happened fifteen pass, I'm 111 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: sure and partners Andrew Calla hurt Welcome to Tuesday. Yeah, 112 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: good morning mine, Yeah, attack. They loved it, loved it, 113 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: loved it. 114 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 9: Yes, the Hurly Burley and financial markets that's characterized twenty 115 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 9: twenty six so far has continued last week, doesn't it. 116 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 10: Mike. 117 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 9: We don't often talk about Japan, and we certainly don't 118 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 9: talk about Japanese politics very often, do we. 119 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: But the election over the weekend and the election and. 120 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 9: The outcome do have potentially material marketing eclations. So, as 121 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 9: has been well reported, Sinai tucka Itchi one in a landslide. 122 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 9: So the LDP secured, as you just mentioned, a two 123 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 9: thirds supermajority in the lower House, which is the biggest, 124 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 9: most comprehensive victory anybody's had since the Second World War. 125 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 9: Now I'm not I'm not an expert on Japanese politics, 126 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 9: but my understanding is this makes it very easy to 127 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 9: pass legislation, and I think in some circumstances they can 128 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 9: actually just go ahead and overrule the Upper House because 129 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 9: of this two thirds majority, so has a very strong 130 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 9: mandate to push policies through. And you may recall when 131 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 9: Tucker Itchie was appointed as PM, all the talks of 132 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 9: this taka ichi trade with the expected physcal stimulus being 133 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 9: good for the economy, and of course what can only 134 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 9: be described as a stunning election victory has brought that 135 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 9: trade back into focus. So seen as being positive for 136 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 9: the Japanese share market. But and this is a big 137 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 9: butt potentially problematic for the Japanese bond market because you've 138 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 9: got high levels of government debt in Japan, and how 139 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 9: do you pay for the physical stimulus. But by it's 140 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 9: potentially issuing more bonds. It also creates potential volatility in 141 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 9: the Japanese en, which flows into the US dollar. 142 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: Obviously you've got a weaki yen. 143 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 9: You have a potentially stronger US dollar, So the Japanese 144 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 9: bond market got the jitters in January had a sharp 145 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 9: rise in Japanese long bond yields that did sort of 146 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 9: destabilize briefly global bomb markets, and the Americans got a 147 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 9: bit worried. They said, well, if your rates are pushing up, 148 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,559 Speaker 9: it's going to push our interest rates up as well. 149 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 9: The outcome that we saw yet and trading yesterdays, the 150 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 9: sheer market really cheered the victory. You got a big lift, 151 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 9: and then the k index it was up over four 152 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 9: percent at one stage, what we call the topics index, 153 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 9: the broader index that was up over two percent. The 154 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 9: concern really centered around the bond market and dolly En 155 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 9: and actually the outcome here was relatively controlled trading. So 156 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 9: at the moment it looks like the bond market and 157 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 9: dollar yen are taking it in their stride. Questions do 158 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 9: remain though over term, and I think we have to 159 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 9: call a watching brief on this one over the. 160 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: Course of the week. She's certainly fascinating. Now what do 161 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 2: you make of the L and G play? 162 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 9: Oh, big news, wasn't it this yesterday? So the government 163 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 9: shortlisted these various proposals for the import terminal, which will 164 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 9: allow us to import LNG, which has been problematic because 165 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 9: our local supplies dwindling. All these proposals are Taranaki based, 166 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 9: which will or has the potential to provide a bit 167 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 9: of a boost of tartan nucky. That's not really been 168 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 9: talked about a lot, but New Plymouth has obviously been 169 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 9: knocked around by changes in exploration, oil and gas policy 170 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 9: over time, so I think they will be chairing this. 171 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 9: I think, Mike, you've talked about this. The contracting decision 172 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 9: targeted for mid twenty twenty six and moving pretty quickly here, 173 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 9: isn't it. If you have the facilities going to be 174 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 9: red're going to be ready in twenty twenty seven, and 175 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 9: forgive my cynicism, twenty twenty seven, early twenty twenty eight. 176 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 9: The gas that's imported will then have to be stored, 177 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 9: so you need storage facilities as well. You've got to 178 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 9: fixed component here, you need bucks to build the terminal. 179 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 9: I'm not sure I completely understand how the you know 180 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 9: how the whole funding mechanism works. Yet the plan at 181 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 9: the moment is that fixed rate cost is going to 182 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 9: be recruited by a levy on electricity, and this should 183 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 9: be helpful in mitigating the potential risk of a dry year, 184 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 9: which we you know, we don't need to explain when 185 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 9: we don't get enough rain reduce the ability of hydro 186 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 9: to gains through the winter. The thing is like that 187 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 9: risk does create a premium that's built into the forward 188 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 9: pricing for electricity. The thinking here is that the future 189 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 9: price will fall because some of that risk will now 190 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 9: be mitigated by having access to stored gas. It's ten 191 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 9: megawatson hour lower on that whole cel price due to 192 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 9: having access to. 193 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: The facility, and. 194 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 9: Of course spiking power prices have been problematic for industrial users. 195 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 9: It also might potentially sets the ceiling for winter pricing. 196 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 9: But I think what has been missed here a little 197 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 9: bit is it creates certainty for the electricity market. It's 198 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 9: an ambitious plan, might speedy execution. I do think we 199 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 9: need a bit more detail and a few more facts 200 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 9: before we can make a final tour. 201 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: Well, fortunately we got a couple of people on that 202 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: after seven o'clock.

Its way through. They had some protests in 309 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: Hong Kong back in twenty nineteen. The Chinese had to 310 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: look at those protests in Hong Kong and went, we 311 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: don't like protests. I think we had better change the law. 312 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: So they changed the law and then they stuck them 313 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: in for twenty years, So at seventy eight plus twenty. 314 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 2: You know how that works in Europe. This morning, I 315 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: can tell you about the intensity high intensity warfare drills. 316 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: Catherine's we are shortly twenty three minutes away from seven 317 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: minutes time. Question, how concerned should we be about the 318 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: regional infrastructure money that's now tagged as at restort to 319 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: deployments for about this yesterday we're talking half a billion 320 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: dollars worth Crown regional holdings, suggesting half of the money 321 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: is at some risk of deplutment. Leggetts is the chief 322 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: executive of Infrastructure New Zealand and is with us Nick morning, 323 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: Hello Mike. So we've got two different things going on 324 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: here over the Prime Minister tried to explain them as 325 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: two different things. Ones that labor the regional growth thing 326 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: and this is slightly different. Are they different or are 327 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: they basically the same? And we should be worried. 328 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 11: Well, I think there's a mix of projects here, like 329 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 11: some of them, some of these loans that are held 330 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 11: by Crown Regional Holdings were about funding businesses. And I 331 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 11: don't know about you, Mike, but I always get nervous 332 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 11: when the government picks commercial winners because usually they don't. 333 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 11: But a lot of these of what are of course, 334 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 11: regional infrastructure projects, and I don't really think it matters. 335 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 11: You know which fund they came from. If they've gone 336 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 11: towards building infrastructure, they've probably done good work. But we 337 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 11: need to know what was the case that justified the investment, 338 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 11: and then are the investments actually providing the economic and 339 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 11: productivity gains that were envisaged? And I guess the problem 340 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 11: with all this is we just don't have that sense 341 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 11: of transparency here, do we? 342 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 2: No, we do not. So is that making it more 343 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: political than it does business? 344 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 11: Well? 345 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 10: Sense, Well, this is political, isn't it. 346 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 11: Because Crown Regional Holdings is just the holding companies for 347 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 11: the loans that government have given out. I don't think 348 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 11: we should beat up on them too much because they 349 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 11: haven't made these decisions. They're just overseeing the loans and 350 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 11: the structure of the lending and the obviously the payback. 351 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 11: What we should be looking at is how are these 352 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 11: have these investments performed? Because there is a case for 353 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 11: the government seeding particularly physical infrastructure projects with loans if 354 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 11: that's going to attract private investment, if it's in you know, 355 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 11: if you think about flood protection, or regional airports or 356 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 11: even some routing in some cases here, I think people 357 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 11: would agree that's a good investment in a country that 358 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 11: sometimes you know, small communities sometimes struggle to fund these things. 359 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 2: If I gave you four hundred and thirty three million 360 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 2: dollars though, and told you to do a proper job, 361 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: what percentage would you expect to be burnt? 362 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 11: Well, a lot less than fifty percent, right, And that's 363 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 11: to me. The question is, well, how the projects selected? 364 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 11: What were the and I mean I know that these 365 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 11: are sort of terms that they used a lot, but 366 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 11: what was the sort of the business case? And then 367 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 11: what we don't do in New Zealand for anything we 368 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 11: build is we don't look over our shoulder and understand 369 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 11: what the benefit was. And I don't think benefits or 370 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 11: potential benefits have been assessed properly here. Well, we wouldn't 371 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 11: know because we don't have that transparency. But also there 372 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 11: might be cases here where there might be some struggles 373 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 11: for payback, but actually that the project is doing its 374 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 11: job nonetheless because it's contributing to a local economy. 375 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 2: Do you worry, you say, don't be too hard on 376 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: the UCRH. Do you worry that they've not been able 377 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: to put their papers in on time because they can't 378 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 2: get them for isn't that a red flake? 379 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 10: Yeah? 380 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 11: Oh absolutely it is, and that's something we should be demanding. 381 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 11: But I mean, I suspect that was the nature of 382 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 11: how these investments were set up. And that's when I 383 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 11: say they are dealing They are dealing with somebody else's 384 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 11: mess in some cases, and what we've got to do 385 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 11: is keep demanding that they are accountable. But we've also 386 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 11: got to understand where the decisions were made and actually 387 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 11: why they were made. And I don't have a strong 388 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 11: sense of that because of course we don't have that 389 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 11: kind of detail clarity here and reporting we just sort 390 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 11: of you know, one or two might jump out because 391 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 11: the journalist does a good job at finding finding where 392 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 11: the money went, but it does seem more a little 393 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 11: but a little bit murky given that you know it 394 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 11: is half a billion dollars. 395 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: This is true. It nice to talk to you, Nick 396 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: pressure neck leg At, Chief Executive Infrastructure New Zealand. And 397 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 2: of course it goes to government credibility. With the last government, 398 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: you weren't expecting much and you just go, well that 399 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: was then, wasn't it. But this government it's a whole 400 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 2: different story. So watch this Space nineteen two, the. 401 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 402 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: News Talks EP. 403 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: Not only did it rain, Hertzog was there in Sydney 404 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 2: yesterday and they lost the court battle. By the way, 405 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 2: the people who were going to court to have the 406 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 2: right to wander around and do whatever they want protest 407 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 2: wise lost so that's good. But nevertheless, it was a 408 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: fairly ugly day in Sydney and it's five day visit. 409 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: Also ugly in Canberra, despite the fact they patched up 410 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: the coalition and put it back together over the weekend. 411 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: Angus Taylor is going to move possibly as soon as tomorrow, 412 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 2: and he will be challenging Susan Lee. I'm assuming and 413 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 2: doing it. He's got the numbers. Senator Janet Hume possibly 414 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 2: his Deputy. I don't think that at this point is 415 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 2: going to this out of the poll yesterday. I don't 416 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 2: think at this point there will be a single member 417 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: of the House of Representatives from Victoria. There won't be 418 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: a single member of the House from New South Wales. 419 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: Something has got to give and that will unfold in 420 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: the next twenty four hours. 421 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 12: Six international correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance, peace of 422 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 12: mind for New Zealand business and a duel liver the. 423 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: Place now in France, Catherine, how are you? 424 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 13: I'm good, thanks, Mikeelus. 425 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 2: These warfare drills, how and teens? How big and where 426 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: are they? 427 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 13: Oh? Very intense at the moment they've just started. They're 428 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 13: evolving around twelve thousand military. It's a high intensity maneuver, 429 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 13: this one on the like that we've probably never seen before. 430 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 13: The reason that French military say it's such high intensity 431 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 13: is that there's never been this confluence of threats at 432 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 13: this level before, the deterioration of the international landscape. It 433 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 13: is so serious. They say that they've spent the last 434 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 13: couple of years putting this together. Well, it's already started. 435 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 13: In the west of France on the Atlantic coast. We've 436 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 13: got that happening at the moment. It's going to go 437 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 13: on now, Mike, for about two months in this phase 438 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 13: that we're not going to see much, and then in 439 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 13: April we're going to see the really big one, which 440 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 13: is when the French hand over control of this high 441 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 13: intensity drill to NATO, and then you're going to have 442 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 13: all the NATO countries have evolved. It's going to go 443 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 13: from the west of France on the Atlantic coast and 444 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 13: it's going to you're going to have tanks sweeping across 445 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 13: past Powers to Champagne, just to work out how exactly 446 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 13: they're going to be up to speed as a dissuasion force. 447 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 13: And as a way of saying, listen, you know NATO 448 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 13: trains all the time, various countries come together, but they 449 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 13: need to practice for the real thing now. And we're 450 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 13: going to see four Asian and of course Australia is 451 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 13: going to be part of that big move here in April. 452 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 13: And also the other big thing, of course, which everyone 453 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 13: is worried about now is cybersecurity. Part of that is 454 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 13: also they're going to be training for what happens when 455 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 13: an enemy takes down all of the possibility of people 456 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 13: to be able to phone one another, how can they 457 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 13: get their messages across things that are part of day 458 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 13: to day. And another big thing is this reflects this 459 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 13: coalition of the willing that's been set up. If need 460 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 13: be to go and help in Ukraine. 461 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: Now talk to me about the football, because, as it 462 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 2: turns out, I'm going to be in the States during 463 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: the football. Not that I'm there for the football, but anyway, 464 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 2: I've been going through this particular process dealing with the 465 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 2: States these days, getting visa's ist does all that sort 466 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: of thing. I'm assuming the French are keen on the 467 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: football still. 468 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 13: Oh you just look around Europe, the big countries when 469 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 13: it comes to football, of what France, Italy, Germany, and 470 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 13: they're all just really digesting this new rule that anyone 471 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 13: wanting to get this special type of visa, the Esta visa, 472 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 13: which used to be very easy to get, so they're 473 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 13: now possibly going to have to hand over five years 474 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 13: worth of social media postings. The absolute safety as well, 475 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 13: people are looking at concerns about going to the United States. 476 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 13: Germany one of the first countries to put out an 477 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 13: official advisory at the risk of violence when in the US. 478 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 13: So not only the possibility that punters are being put 479 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 13: off my ticket prices, but also this visa and the 480 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 13: personal security. Looking at the latest figures, Mike, you just 481 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 13: look at France, sixty two percent of French people disapprove 482 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 13: of everything going on in the US, Italy sixty three percent, 483 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 13: Germany seventy two percent. Big football nations ken to support 484 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 13: their teams abroad, particularly at the World Cup. 485 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: Exactly. Now, this this identical twin thing, is this for real? 486 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: So you got the double murder? This is this has 487 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 2: got Netflix written or library. Doesn't it? 488 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 13: It does, doesn't it yet? Two well identical twins thirty 489 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 13: three years old, born from the same fertilized egg, identical DNA. 490 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 13: They're on trial, accused of conspiracy to plot a double murder. 491 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 13: The DNA was found on the assault rifle not long 492 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 13: after the shooting back in twenty twenty. Police can't tell 493 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 13: the difference. They have no idea of knowing that. All 494 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 13: the police will say is they suspect it was a 495 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 13: drug dealing dispute. They suspect you, and this was a 496 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 13: double murder. And there were some other people who were 497 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 13: injured in the punt. They said, they just. 498 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 11: Do not know. 499 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 13: Technology has not got to that point yet. Of course 500 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 13: they've said that the police are saying only their mom 501 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 13: can tell them apart that apparently therese because have several 502 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 13: times been accused of swapping clothes and telephones and ID 503 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 13: documents in case there are in troubles and only their 504 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 13: mum can tell them apart. But their mum cannot come 505 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 13: to help on this one. 506 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: No, no, I do not catch up sin Cathermin appreciate it, 507 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 2: Catherine Fields. She's back Thursday doing the business for Joe Disney. Interestingly, 508 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: the other day when they made their announcement, said we've 509 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: got problems at the parks. Parks are going well, but 510 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: our problem at the parks at the moment is the 511 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 2: international visitors because of course this whole Trump thing social 512 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: media is having a very real material effect on people's 513 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 2: attitude towards going to America, and they're going to have 514 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: to pump up the local advertising and marketing to try 515 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: and get more Americans into their parks to counteract the 516 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: number of internationals who are no longer going to their parks. 517 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: Having said that, I applied for MYSTA the other day 518 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: and they came back the exact same day. And for 519 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: Katy as well and said welcome to America. Have a 520 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: great time. So I'm just not sure how much of 521 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: its real versus theory. 522 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: Ten away from the Mike Hosking Breakfast with al Vida 523 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: Retirement Communities News Togstad. 524 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: Be if you can be bothered, look up the photo 525 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: of Eugenie's crown that was part of the big robbery 526 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: from the lever. Anyway, they found the crown. While the 527 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 2: crown got dropped, they found nothing else, which says something 528 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: about the constabulary eyes to spect. Anyway, the crown looks 529 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: really weird. It's crushed, it's still got it's missing one 530 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: of the eight golden eagles, It's still got the fifty 531 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 2: six emeralds and all but ten of its thirteen hundred 532 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 2: and fifty four diamonds. But it's a weird looking photo. 533 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 2: So have a look at that Starma. He's meeting his 534 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 2: MPs tonight. So there's a couple of things in play here. Options. 535 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 2: What have we got formal challenge. For a formal challenge, 536 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 2: you need twenty percent of the party's MPs to nominate 537 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 2: a single candidate. That's eighty They may be close to that. 538 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: A lot of anger within the party and he's got 539 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 2: a very large caucus. He could resign the current thinking. 540 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: There was a word yesterday that Lord Blanket remember him, 541 00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 2: was suggesting he was going to have a word with 542 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: missus over the weekend, and that may lead somewhere. What 543 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 2: they call the women in gray suits, that's a delegation. 544 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 2: The women, particularly in the Labor Party caucus, are ropable 545 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: about what's happened with Mandelssohn, so they could be at 546 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: play a voter confidence bad knock Tory has offered the 547 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 2: Labor MP's the option of tabling a vote of no confidence. 548 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 2: Problem with that is it may well pass, and if 549 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 2: it does, the whole government goes, which was my theory 550 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 2: at the start of the show. And then a coordinated 551 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: series of ministerial resignations other words, one person comes, then another, 552 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 2: then another. Then it becomes a fatal complex. So all 553 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: of those options are at play. More with Rod shorty 554 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: five away from seven. 555 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: All the ins and the outs. It's the biz with business, Tabor, 556 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: take your business productivity to the next low. 557 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: Back to the world of cast Delantis, the shares, it's 558 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 2: a nightmare. They own Jeep krhys La Maserati, among others. 559 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 2: I think fiots in there as well, could be lunch up. 560 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 2: They would take a forty three billion dollar hit thanks 561 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: to all their failed investments and evs they're the latest. 562 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 2: I mean, everyone's taken a hit. Forward took thirty two 563 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: billion in December GM eleven and a half in January 564 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: of this year. Are but stillantis are taking a bath. 565 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 2: Their yeares are down as much as thirty percent. So 566 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 2: where are they've poured them back today? It's bounced back 567 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 2: by zero point four to nine percent. Anyway, The CEO said, 568 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 2: Europe's appetite for evs is low than expected. The US 569 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 2: appetite for evs has never been a thing at all. 570 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 2: His name's Felusa Antnio Luisa. A couple of things that well, 571 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: I mean, we've worked it all out, he says. The 572 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: chargers largely reflect the cost of overestimating the pace of 573 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: energy transition. In other words, that slash talk for no 574 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: one wants an ev end quote. Evs need to be 575 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 2: governed by demand rather than command, which is very true. 576 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 2: Of course. At some point somebody's going to hire a 577 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 2: lawyer surely and go, how is it We've had all 578 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: of these billions of dollars of value wiped out of 579 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: our companies because some dickhead and Brussel decided that EV's 580 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 2: were the future when we knew full well as a 581 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 2: company who've been making cars for decades of not hundreds 582 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 2: of years, that no one was going to buy them 583 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: in the numbers they needed to buy them for them 584 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: to be a viable business. I mean, how many billions 585 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: have been written off because of just politicians? Basically an 586 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 2: ideology speaking of which building some infrastructure and new Plymouth 587 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: by next year. What do you reckon? That's about a 588 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: what do you reckon the odds of that happening? Arshall 589 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 2: ope and a book on that. We'll talk to one 590 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: of the power company people. This is all Llenerg and 591 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 2: then the minister. That's right after the news which is 592 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: next year in news talks. 593 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Ing credible, compelling, the breakfast show you can't miss. It's 594 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: the Mic Hosking Breakfast with the Defender embraced the impossible 595 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: news talks had. 596 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: Be warning seven past seven, so l G Years go. 597 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 2: New facility to be built in Taranaki Ellergy is part 598 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: of the buffer plan for the dry years. Contracts are 599 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: due to be signed mid year, Completion targeted for next year. 600 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: The bill's about a billion dollars. Mike Fuji is the 601 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: CEO at Contact Energy and is with us. Good morning morning, Mike. 602 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 2: How are you very well? Indeed, is this a good idea? 603 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 14: Yes, it's sensible, let's put it that way. It's not 604 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 14: the only solution. But the important thing is it just 605 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 14: adds to the overall security of our energy spine this country. 606 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 14: So I'd classified as sensible. 607 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 2: Reassure people who wonder why we need to build something 608 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: that will only be used occasionally, and how that makes 609 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 2: sense business wise. Look, it just. 610 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 14: Removes the drama out of the system. And I think 611 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 14: that's the important thing is that when prices have spiked 612 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 14: very high, when we end up dispatching diesel into the 613 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 14: electricity system, and when gas suppliers can't get gas, gas 614 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 14: users can't get gas, everyone gets very uptight. And this 615 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 14: just brings a rationality to the market. We're not worrying 616 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 14: about tomorrow. 617 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 2: Can you what happened to the argument that Huntley solved it? 618 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 2: So you guys do a deal. There's plenty of coal. 619 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: Huntley is the backup, that's the problem solved? Is that 620 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: not true? 621 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 14: Look, I think it's one solution. You need many solutions 622 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 14: so that it's not one solution. So that's all you've 623 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 14: got Huntley. You've got the demand flex of the smelter. 624 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 14: We'd like to see increased operating ranges on our hydro 625 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 14: lakes and this is just another part of that suite 626 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 14: of solutions. And so there's good risk mitigation if something 627 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 14: goes wrong with Huntley, if there is another unexpected shortage 628 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 14: of gas. This just solve that. 629 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 2: Can you go to the market periodically for LNG and 630 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: simply say hey, we're back, give us sum. Does it 631 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 2: work that you. 632 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 14: Can do anything you like as long as you're willing 633 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 14: to pay for it is the general mantra. But yes, 634 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 14: you will be able to get spot sales. I think 635 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 14: the thing about LNG is that our winter coincides with 636 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 14: the Northern Hemisphere summer, and so there is lower demand 637 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 14: for LNG in the North and so there probably will 638 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 14: be both cargoes available at that time or. 639 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 2: There are more lights to be The Minister's assurances that 640 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 2: we're all going to save in the long run true 641 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 2: or not, do you think? 642 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 14: Look, I think the certainty will certainly reduce prices. I 643 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 14: think what's important is that the cost of it is 644 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 14: spread as widely as possible. At the moment, I think 645 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 14: they're proposing that it goes just to electricity users. I 646 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 14: think all GUS users should be helping pay for it. 647 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 14: And I think the other thing that's really important is 648 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 14: that if they could keep bipartisan support, because in the 649 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 14: energy sector, these investments are long term. They don't run 650 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 14: on a three year cycle. And I think those are 651 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 14: the two things that I try and tweak and improve. 652 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 2: OK, appreciate your insight. Mike Fus, who's the chief executive 653 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: at Contact ten minutes past seven. Task getting the government 654 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: line around the payment for the facility is ultimately we're 655 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: all going to save. It's about two to four dollars 656 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 2: a megal with our eventually we save two hundred and 657 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 2: sixty five million dollars a year. Simon Watts is the minister. 658 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 2: Good morning, Very good morning, Mike, so Fo says, bipartisan. 659 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 2: Have you got bipartisan supporter? You don't know at the stage. 660 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 10: Oh. 661 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 15: Look, I've briefed Labor and the Greens, but as we know, 662 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 15: their policy and energies are pretty gray, so they haven't 663 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 15: said to me where they're at on this policy. 664 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: He would also like to see all gas users help 665 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 2: pay for this way, aren't they. 666 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 15: Well, the reality is this is an insurance policy for 667 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 15: the electricity sector. Gas users and industry users are the 668 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 15: ones to get impacted in the dry year because the 669 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 15: energy companies can buy at any price, So we need 670 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 15: to protect industry by having this capability. We think the 671 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 15: electricity sector should be the one that pays this insurance 672 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 15: policy because it's for energy security. 673 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: Can't they protect themselves? I mean, this is the gent 674 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 2: Taylor argument, isn't it. They've got no reason to protect themselves. 675 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: They're happy in a dry year simply to launch the 676 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: spot price to the moon and back. 677 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 15: We haven't got sufficient dry year cover. I think that 678 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 15: the points. 679 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 11: Being raised will isn't Huntly enough. 680 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 15: Well, Huntly covers fifty percent of the problem. 681 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 10: We need more. 682 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 15: We've got a truckload of gas generation capacity out there, 683 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 15: which we haven't got a fuel to run in a 684 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 15: dry yet. In twenty twenty four, gas Peak was only 685 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 15: running at sixty five capacity. Mike, that's insane. It was 686 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 15: only running at sixty five because we didn't have the 687 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 15: fuel to run it. And you know how price is spiked. 688 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 15: That's why we need got certainty of volume in the 689 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 15: Sydney supply. 690 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: How much disparity of view is there? I read over 691 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 2: the summer period and I was reassured by it. And 692 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 2: I can't remember who it was. It could have been 693 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 2: the Meridian Head anyway, he said the Huntly deal solves 694 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 2: the problem. How can he say that? And you say, no, all. 695 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 15: The reality is is it covers fifty percent. 696 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: And that how can we undred fifty? Who do I 697 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: believe that? 698 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 16: That? 699 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 15: Well, you believe me because that's the advice that we've. 700 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 2: Got truth, Simon, Mike. 701 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 15: We don't want to be reliant on one fuel either, right, 702 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 15: More options gives us more diversity, and that gives us 703 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 15: more resilience. 704 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 16: Right. 705 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 15: We don't want to just have one all their eggs 706 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 15: in one basket either. But you know, you look at 707 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 15: the gas price in the international market, we're going into 708 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 15: an oversupply position. The US have got a lot of 709 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,959 Speaker 15: lergy coming into the mark the market, Australia have got 710 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 15: plenty of supply coming online. So you know, the outlook 711 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 15: for LNG supply on international markets is also heading in 712 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 15: the right direction. Bison in the winter and obviously that's 713 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 15: the European somehow. 714 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, so that partially answers my next question because 715 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 2: the East Coast of Australia, East and seabord of Australia 716 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 2: has got major problems around prices of L and G 717 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 2: because the West will want to sell it to Europe 718 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 2: and stuff. You're confident you can dip in, which is 719 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,760 Speaker 2: what we would be doing, dip into the LNG market 720 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 2: and not be bled dry at the price level. 721 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 15: Now, the feedback that I've had from the International Energy Agency, 722 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 15: and we're talking with them regularly, is actually the reality 723 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 15: is we're seeing an oversupply coming into the market because 724 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 15: primarily the big players are saying, look, we need gas 725 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 15: domestically and we need plenty of it, and that's going 726 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 15: to benefit a country like New Zealand as well. 727 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: I want to be positive, Simon, but when I watched 728 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 2: you yesterday's stand up at the pulpit of truth there 729 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 2: in the Beehive Theater and tell me that this thing's 730 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 2: really by next year, I bet you one hundred bucks. 731 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 2: It isn't. I'd wish it was, but it isn't. Why 732 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 2: are you saying this because. 733 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 15: The proposals that we've had from the entities that are 734 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 15: all international players have provided us timelines of when they 735 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 15: can make this happen. The key piece of asset that's 736 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 15: required is an effective barginership that will come from overseas, 737 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 15: and no surprise that those aren't available all the time, 738 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 15: but the companies are putting bids up there have said 739 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 15: that the availability of that. So that's the key piece 740 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 15: of kit that needs to be procured, and then we 741 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 15: look at the enabling stuff which we can and believe 742 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 15: can be done within the timeline. 743 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 2: Other thing I understand that no one would disagree. That's 744 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 2: just whether we can or not. The other thing I 745 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 2: think you might have got caught up on yesterday is 746 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 2: those pesky journalists tried to bait you and trap you. 747 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: Was the cheaper thing. You sound like you're saying that 748 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 2: power will become cheaper. It won't, and you know it 749 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 2: will it It will just potentially go up less. 750 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 15: Well, what we're doing, though, is that the levey that 751 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 15: we'll use to fund them the structure will not be 752 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 15: passed on to households, because households will see a net savings. 753 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 15: The advice that we have is that having this capability 754 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 15: in terminal and effect is an insurance policy will have 755 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 15: a downward impact on the overall price of energy in 756 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 15: the region of minimum ten dollars per mega one hour, 757 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 15: and the cost of the levees to ten one is 758 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 15: two's eight positive mic and that's positive fail. 759 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 2: So what's preventing and this is the energy companies once again, 760 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 2: they're throwing billions into this business of renewables. We've got 761 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 2: so many renewables in half a dozen years. We never 762 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 2: use the L and G. You built something for nothing. 763 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 15: Well, the reality is renewables are nice, but the sun 764 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 15: doesn't shine during the night, and that's when we need 765 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 15: a famine capacity and thermal capacity in the dry year, 766 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 15: or we don't have enough water in those lakes. We 767 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 15: have to make that from either gas, eesel or coal. 768 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 15: Only covers fifty percent of us, we've still got a 769 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 15: massive gap. That's why there's a price premium, and people's built. 770 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 15: Having the certainty of supply of gas to come into 771 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 15: that market we need it means that at risk is 772 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 15: mitigated and therefore that price premium that some people's bills 773 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 15: comes off. That's the rationale of what we're doing here. 774 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 15: This is a strategic investment also for national security because 775 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 15: guess what if you can't have energy, then other aspects 776 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 15: to economies at risk, and we've got to protect those 777 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 15: industries that can't run on coal. Surprisingly can't run on electricity. 778 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 15: There's a lot of industry, heavy industry. It needs gas 779 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 15: and if we haven't got it domestically in the short term, 780 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 15: we need to be able to import it. 781 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate Simon. What's credibility issues? Do you feel the 782 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 2: credibility issues around this one. It's not a bad idea, 783 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 2: it's not the end of the world. It just doesn't 784 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 2: vibe right to me. I'll explain what I mean in 785 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 2: the moment, but you're all your feedback so far as 786 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 2: the if you think we're building something between now and 787 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 2: next year and getting it ready, no one believes it. 788 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 2: Sixteen past the mic asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 789 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 2: Howard By News Talks that be Mike, I can't understand 790 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 2: what you're saying about a no show of building L 791 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 2: and G plant in twelve months. However, I do think 792 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 2: we have a better show than the infamous one hundred 793 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 2: thousand houses. That's probably true, but making a comparison doesn't 794 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,919 Speaker 2: really change anything. Does it? Still A seven out of ten? Mike, 795 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 2: not a bad question, luck and see I asked him yesterday. 796 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 2: I said, what do you reckon? This is out of 797 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 2: ten this announcement coming today, said urrickon's a seven, and 798 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 2: I think he's probably right. All good stuff, Mike, And 799 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 2: about time government's invested in infrastructure for the future. But 800 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 2: given this is an election year, how's this going to 801 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 2: make keeps feel better before November? Well, it's not about that. 802 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 2: It's a fair question, but it's not about that. This 803 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 2: would this government would see themselves as a two or 804 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 2: three term government. It's bigger picture stuff. It's solving long 805 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 2: term problems. You can't do it all in the first term. 806 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 2: So that's what that's about. Hosey, thanks for calling me Hossey. 807 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 2: We need the labor solution. See, I can see why 808 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 2: you called me Hosey. You're one of these people. We 809 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 2: need the labour solution. Build the Lake Oslow pumping station. 810 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 2: Are you serious, Mike? How does the cost of the 811 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 2: L and G plant cost compare to Lake Onslow? This 812 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 2: is part of the problem with politics. You've got to 813 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 2: re explain everything. Onslow was sixteen billion dollars. When I 814 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 2: say sixteen billion, that was the labor party estimate. So 815 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 2: in reality it's thirty two billion. This is one and 816 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 2: even if they're wrong, it's two.

It's not about 820 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 2: the price going down, it's about the price not going 821 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 2: up as much as it used to. 822 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 1: Seven The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 823 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: Call it by NEWSTALKSP. 824 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 2: Now, if you're a business leader determined to grow profitable 825 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 2: market share, chances are that you're going to need to 826 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 2: increase your win rate with the old tenders and the RFPs. 827 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 2: Right now winning responses to RFPs, What does that do? 828 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 2: Will it tires at the top people?

Bad news is an easy headline, 849 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 2: of course, that's why it's getting covered so much. But 850 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 2: what is less covered or covered less is the bulk 851 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 2: of the Kiwi Saber story. 852 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 13: I e. 853 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 2: Lots of people are and the returns are growing and 854 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: for most people it's a half decent way to save 855 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 2: for the long term basis. But also in the latest 856 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 2: quarterly statements, this is for the December quarter. By the way, 857 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 2: is a fun fact that those who like to fixate 858 00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 2: on competitional lack of it could do with looking at 859 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 2: now Kiwi Saber and those who run the various funds 860 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 2: is not a lot different too if you think about it, 861 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 2: banking or supermarkets, or air lines or telcos of power companies. 862 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,879 Speaker 2: In other words, if you want to, you can ask 863 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 2: some questions around competition. This government, like the last one, 864 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 2: has been fixated with competition or lack of it. They've 865 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 2: investigated it, jawboned it, threatened it sometimes introduced rules and 866 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,479 Speaker 2: laws to change it, and yet punter's choice rarely gets 867 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 2: given the waiting it deserves or should. In Kiwisaber there 868 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 2: are about twenty five providers right and yet as it 869 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 2: turns out, five have the bulk of our money. Why 870 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,160 Speaker 2: is there a lack of competition? Clearly not. In fact, 871 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 2: three of the top five are the banks or the 872 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 2: irony we hate the book where we hate the banks, 873 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 2: the banks rip us off. The banks are to be 874 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 2: treated with the utmost suspicion if only we had more 875 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 2: competition with banks and in Kiwi Saber ah hold on 876 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 2: we do, and yet we can't flock to the banks 877 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 2: fast enough with our life savings. 878 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 16: Now. 879 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,879 Speaker 2: The lesson here, I think if any of us want 880 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 2: to learn it around power companies and banks and insurance 881 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 2: is basically where moaning is easier than doing something about 882 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:03,280 Speaker 2: our problem. 883 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 16: Now. 884 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 2: The laziness is never better exemplified and Kiwi saber than 885 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 2: with the ridiculous number of default accounts. Of course, people 886 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 2: who can't even be bothered picking a fund twenty five providers, 887 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 2: five of them have sixty five percent of the business. 888 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,439 Speaker 2: That's ninety billion dollars of the one hundred and forty 889 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 2: five billion under stewardship. Are we exercised? Are we worried? 890 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 2: Do we even realize? Don't look now, but they actually 891 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 2: do quite a good job as well. Five billion was 892 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,839 Speaker 2: added in the past quarter. Unless you're in bitcoin, of course, 893 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 2: then we'll fall you over the past decade. If you 894 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,760 Speaker 2: were in the right fund, these figures tell us yesterday. 895 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 2: If you're in the right fund, you've been getting about 896 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 2: nine percent every year fourteen years. Almost sounds like a 897 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 2: model at works. Could be the competition Posking, Mike, why 898 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 2: is that you keep saying the LNG terminal are built? 899 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 2: Is next year your News Department saying early twenty eight 900 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 2: he covered himself off, did Simon by saying it'll be 901 00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 2: ready next year or at the outside twenty eight lang 902 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 2: makes sense. Already two big businesses have had to close 903 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 2: down through lack of gas labor. Did us over closing 904 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,800 Speaker 2: the gas fields of war broke out? We'd need national security. 905 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 2: There's no question that this is a good news thing. 906 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 2: There is a debate around who pays for it. We're 907 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 2: paying for it. By the way, if you haven't got 908 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 2: that one, there is a debate then whether it's a 909 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,359 Speaker 2: levy or a tax. I don't really want to go there. 910 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 2: We all know it's a tax. It can be called 911 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 2: a leve You can call a levy at tax attacks 912 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 2: a levee. But you and I are paying for it. 913 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 2: Part of the gen Taylor issue is that particular problem. 914 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 2: They could pay for it, Could they pay for it? Well, 915 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 2: they could, but they wouldn't because you know, then they 916 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 2: wouldn't see the spot price rise. And so the argument goes. 917 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 1: No fluff, just facts and fierce debate. The Mic Hosking 918 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate altogether better across residential, commercial 919 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: and rural news. Togs Head been. 920 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,800 Speaker 2: I got to get to the pole yesterday because there's 921 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 2: something important that's happening in polling at the moment that 922 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 2: you need to know about and think about next time 923 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 2: a poll is out, especially given comments that were made 924 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 2: of weekend. But I'll come back to that in just 925 00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 2: a couple of moments. Yesterday we stuck up the photo 926 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 2: of sav Andrew Sevil and I won't tell you what 927 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 2: he's doing in it, but it's on our is it's 928 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 2: still on our Facebook page. On our Facebook page, go 929 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 2: to the my Costing and Breakfast page. 930 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,080 Speaker 17: It's a scandalous kind of thing. 931 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 2: It's pretty scandalous, and certain circumstances if he was certain times, 932 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 2: certain places, you know, you'd be going, oh really, what 933 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 2: was going on there? That sort of stuff broke back Mountain, 934 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 2: says Greg. A lot of feedback on this. Grant says 935 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 2: it's woody, which when you see it's quite funny. That's 936 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 2: actually probably the funniest comment. And says Rhido Techs, which 937 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 2: is not bad either. Kate says, nothing like a bit 938 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 2: of Timu and the wardrobe save. Karen goes, oh wow, 939 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:45,880 Speaker 2: what a cutie, which Karen, it's simply not true. So don't. 940 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 17: There's a lot of weird people out here. 941 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. 942 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 17: Brach taste, that is true. 943 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 2: Brits is still eating donuts now, yes he is, but 944 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,799 Speaker 2: that's not fair. You don't say that stuff. I mean, 945 00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 2: yes he is. Kevin Goes looks like Merv Smith. I 946 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 2: don't think is technically true, but it makes me laugh. Christine, 947 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 2: that's country. That's country. And Peter says, is that a 948 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 2: sevil row suit? Is that funny or not? Is that 949 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 2: there joke? Is that a sevil rot? 950 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,879 Speaker 17: Probably it's that it's a better as an audio joke 951 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 17: than it because. 952 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, it's on the Facebook page twenty two to eight. 953 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 2: So the peach dumping business and investigations found cheap Chinese 954 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 2: peachers have been done by this company, J and G International, 955 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 2: and it's caused material harms in New Zealand's industry. So 956 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 2: that's their finding. This first came to our attention when 957 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 2: what is of course you remember last year stopped buying 958 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 2: local fruit from local growers. Now Paul Painter is the 959 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,959 Speaker 2: Yummy Fruit Company general manager and he's with us on this. Paul, 960 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 2: very good morning to you. 961 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 16: Good morning. 962 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 2: Is this getting enough attention? Well? 963 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 16: Probably not. I mean I think that in general we 964 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,160 Speaker 16: like to assume a wonderful world of free trade and 965 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,960 Speaker 16: honest dealings, and that isn't the world we live in. 966 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 2: No, and when what he said or did what they 967 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,400 Speaker 2: did last year, was that a major red flag that 968 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 2: people should have acted on more than they have pants. 969 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 16: Well, I think it reflects a whole lot of things. 970 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 16: What is have reduced quite a number of contracts, and 971 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 16: that reflects all sorts of dynamics here. Sydney cyclone Gabrielle 972 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 16: scared them off and forced them to go and seek 973 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 16: the supply elsewhere. New Zealand's unfortunately got relatively high levels 974 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 16: of land costs, labor costs, energy costs, and that's a 975 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 16: big collor for what is the huge gas users, and 976 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,839 Speaker 16: that's back in the news as well. And I know 977 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 16: they've priced up a biomass burner for energy, but you know, 978 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,560 Speaker 16: what's that going to cost twenty million? I don't know. 979 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 16: And so they apparently haven't made any money since twenty 980 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 16: twenty one. So there's a whole lot of threats here 981 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,280 Speaker 16: and New Zealand has to be a more business friendly 982 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,040 Speaker 16: environment in the obvious place that we've made a real 983 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 16: mess of things with energy. It's killing me some of 984 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 16: the sawmills and many other industrial businesses like it is 985 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 16: in Durumdy or the UK, and so gas suppliers. 986 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 10: Is it the heart of that, isn't it? 987 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 2: Ironically we're talking about gas. We weren't going to talk 988 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 2: about gas, but we're now talking about gas. But your 989 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 2: example of Watties and their pricing and the land use 990 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 2: and stuff, is that about cheaper product from offshore? So 991 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 2: that's a competition thing versus dumping, which is a separate thing, 992 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 2: isn't it? 993 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 8: Yeah? 994 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 16: Absolutely? But I understand these products have been sourced directly 995 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 16: by the supermarkets and they're not going to really ask 996 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 16: too many questions. They're going to say to their friends 997 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 16: in China, what's it a deal with? Give me on 998 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 16: a can of peaches. But I think the important thing 999 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 16: for the Zealand consumer to do is be aware of 1000 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 16: the difference in quality and then go out tomorrow buy 1001 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 16: yourself a can of Watties and a can of the 1002 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,279 Speaker 16: Chinese stuff, and you eat them. It's light and day. 1003 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 16: It really is, is it? 1004 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 8: Really? 1005 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 2: Because I was going to say the problem with the 1006 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,919 Speaker 2: consumer is the consumer's driven by a price, right or wrong. 1007 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 2: That's how it works, isn't it. 1008 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 3: Well? 1009 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 16: One of boring, So I went out and bought the watties, 1010 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 16: the South African fruits and the Chinese fruit, and the 1011 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 16: South African fruits kind of passable. Chinese fruits pretty rubbishy 1012 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 16: and what IS stuff is demonstrably the best, It's no 1013 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 16: doubt about that. But there's no doubt there's a living 1014 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 16: costs pressure and people looking for a cheap option. 1015 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. But coming back to this investigation, So when 1016 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 2: what IS did what they did last year, the investigation 1017 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 2: was launched, dumping was found and material harm to New 1018 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,720 Speaker 2: Zealand's industry was also found. 1019 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 16: What happens then, Well, they make a finding, they propose 1020 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 16: some sort of duty to right the wrongs, and then 1021 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 16: they review their findings. So and I suppose they'll get 1022 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 16: a couple of comments and the Chinese get a bit 1023 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 16: scared and pontificate for a while. So these things take 1024 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 16: an awfully long period of time, at which time the 1025 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,960 Speaker 16: damage has basically already been done. And there's people now 1026 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 16: who've already pulled out their peatures that are planning to 1027 00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 16: do so this coming winter. And so you know, it's 1028 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,759 Speaker 16: not like you can instantly right that wrong with the past. 1029 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 16: It's done its damage, and predatory pricing is well demonstrated 1030 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 16: around the world. You go in there cheap, you kill 1031 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 16: off an industry and then you basically you own it. 1032 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 16: So it's a good strategy, but it is quite corrupt. 1033 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 2: So if I had a minister on from the government 1034 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 2: and they go, no, we've got laws around this, you're 1035 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 2: telling me it's they're kind of pointless laws because they 1036 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 2: don't achieve anything. 1037 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,960 Speaker 16: Well, ultimately they will because they're going to provide a 1038 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 16: more level playing field. But it's quite possible that what 1039 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,280 Speaker 16: is get out of the game entirely in the films 1040 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 16: of time, particularly the economics of running a big business 1041 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 16: like that. And they've reduced corn, they've reduced beech food, 1042 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 16: a lot of empty land here in Hooks Bay where 1043 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 16: the cropping bolumes have been reduced. There's a point at 1044 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 16: which a big factory like that doesn't work anymore. So 1045 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,239 Speaker 16: I think the biggest threat of all is if you 1046 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 16: have a whole lot of these products that are not 1047 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 16: working or in decline, one day they say we'll see 1048 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 16: you around, and that would be more devastating than the 1049 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 16: in the nineteen Days closes of the freezing works here 1050 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 16: in Hooks Bay, huge employer, certainly in the top three 1051 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,720 Speaker 16: or four employers at Hook's pay, and that'll be seriously 1052 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:03,280 Speaker 16: bad news. 1053 00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 2: Is dumping going on beyond Peaches, Oh, certain of it now. 1054 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 16: I mean Donald Trump's a bit of a peg, but 1055 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 16: he's right. It's not a level plain field out there, 1056 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,880 Speaker 16: there's no doubt. I mean, you can go down and 1057 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,280 Speaker 16: buy a very good value bottle of wine from Europe 1058 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 16: and you're thinking, how they're doing it this cheap, And 1059 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 16: you can do that with quite a range of products. 1060 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,640 Speaker 16: It is the world of sort of picklarly out of 1061 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 16: China state sanctioned capitalism, and there's a whole lot of products. 1062 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 16: I fail to see how they can put out some 1063 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 16: electric cars at the prices they do. So you know, 1064 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,400 Speaker 16: they support their businesses, particularly early on, and they make 1065 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 16: strategic decisions to get a foothold in the market. So 1066 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 16: it's a tough old world out there, and it certainly 1067 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 16: isn't the idealistic world of free trade that we dream of. 1068 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 2: And I still hopeful, Well, well said Paul, appreciate it 1069 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 2: very much. Paul Painter, he's the Gummy Fruit Company general 1070 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 2: manager that EV thing I do know about, and I 1071 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 2: mentioned it on the program before, and it's all subsidized 1072 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 2: by the government, and so they can't make the cars 1073 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 2: for the prices they're selling them. And there's about one 1074 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 2: hundred EV makers in China at the moment, most of 1075 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,479 Speaker 2: which will eventually disappear and you'll be left with maybe 1076 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 2: four or five, six or seven something like that. The 1077 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 2: names you probably know already, but there's a lot of 1078 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 2: names in our market alone that you will see today. 1079 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 2: You probably won't see it in a year's time, and 1080 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 2: you'll be asking yourself, where do I get the bits 1081 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 2: for it? Where's the service center, where's the salesman? What's 1082 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 2: my resale value on my whatever you call it's called 1083 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 2: in the answers zero? So it's the peach thing worries me. 1084 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 2: That's why we got them on. So they did a study, 1085 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 2: they found the crime they and the trigger point is 1086 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 2: material damage. And yet what's you know. They'll stick a 1087 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 2: few tariffs on but it's too late, So what's the 1088 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 2: point of all of that? Sixteen to two. 1089 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1090 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1091 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 13: At B. 1092 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 2: Thirteen Away from You suggesting we have the supermarkets with 1093 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,480 Speaker 2: fines fines for what though? I mean, that's that's the problem. 1094 00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 2: Did they do a specific deal, did they bring in 1095 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 2: enough to to really affect the whole marketplace? I don't know. 1096 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,800 Speaker 2: This my favorite story at the moment. It's not getting 1097 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,560 Speaker 2: enough attention. It may do because it's going to go 1098 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,319 Speaker 2: for two weeks. White goes for two weeks. I've got 1099 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 2: no idea. But Emma Aitken, she's the judge. Bring yourself 1100 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,799 Speaker 2: up to speed on this if you haven't followed it. So, 1101 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 2: Emma Aken's at the Northern Club in Auckland. She's at 1102 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 2: a function. Next door is another function that functions being 1103 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 2: run by New Zealand. First Winston Peter's having a word. 1104 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 2: She wanders past, and this is where the whole story 1105 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 2: is in dispute. She mutters a word. He uses the 1106 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 2: word tea kunger. She hears it, mutters a word something 1107 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 2: along the lines of that's not true. There's a whole 1108 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 2: room full of judges next door that would like to 1109 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 2: hear that. Depending on who you talk to. Casey Costello 1110 00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 2: was near the door. Apparently, she claims that this judge yelled, 1111 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,000 Speaker 2: made a scene that all got sort of a bit antsy. 1112 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 2: Eventually enter Judith Collins's Attorney general at the time, who 1113 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,280 Speaker 2: go will need to take a look at this now 1114 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 2: initially when this happened, and this happened, this is another 1115 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,800 Speaker 2: very good example of a story that moves slowly in 1116 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,720 Speaker 2: terms of justice. This happened in November of twenty twenty four. 1117 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,360 Speaker 2: It is only just as of yesterday reaching a hearing, 1118 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 2: and it's a highly unusual hearing. It's at the Judicial 1119 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 2: Conduct Panel. They've not done one of these before, as 1120 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 2: I understand it. And essentially what's going to happen is 1121 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 2: the Judicial Conduct Panel is going to listen to her story, 1122 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 2: is going to listen to the other side story, and 1123 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 2: they're going to make a decision or an opinion or 1124 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 2: a series of ideas, and they're going to put them 1125 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,879 Speaker 2: to the current Attorney General, who is no longer Judith 1126 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 2: Collins because she's resigned, of course, and that person is 1127 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 2: going to decide whether or not this judge remains a judge. 1128 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 2: So I started out thinking, oh, yeah, means shouldn't go 1129 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,360 Speaker 2: around interrupting Winston Peters like that bit of a loud mouth, 1130 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 2: bit of a trouble maker. Don't like the cut of 1131 00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 2: her jib. But then I don't like the idea that 1132 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 2: she's going to be removed from being a judge simply 1133 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,359 Speaker 2: for something that happened in the Northern Club either. Now, 1134 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 2: whether they ever get to the bottom of this story 1135 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,200 Speaker 2: as to whether she was actually yelling and interrupting or 1136 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 2: whether she was just quietly going, I don't believe that. 1137 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,240 Speaker 2: And there's a room of judges next door that would 1138 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,640 Speaker 2: like to hear this. She claims she didn't realize it 1139 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,280 Speaker 2: was Winston Peters. Let me just say for the record, 1140 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,000 Speaker 2: I don't believe that. No, No, one doesn't know who 1141 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:23,760 Speaker 2: Winston Peter's. 1142 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 17: He is surprisingly shorter in real life, is he? 1143 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 2: There's a revelation we hadn't heard before. Anyway, I don't 1144 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:32,680 Speaker 2: know if you can put that in as a late 1145 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 2: breaking piece of evidence, glean to the Judicial Conduct panel. 1146 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,319 Speaker 2: Maybe they'd like to, Maybe the defense would like to 1147 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 2: hear from you anyway, expert witness Glenn Hart and z B. 1148 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 2: He's surprisingly shorter when you see him in real life. Okay, 1149 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,320 Speaker 2: it's closed anyway, Where was I? So? My point being, 1150 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 2: I don't want to see her lose her job, because 1151 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 2: this isn't a big enough deal for that to happen. 1152 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,560 Speaker 2: Now they're taking this very seriously because we are supposed 1153 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,439 Speaker 2: to have faith and judges, we're supposed to have faith 1154 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:02,240 Speaker 2: in the court system. My argument would be, your honor, 1155 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,360 Speaker 2: that there's nothing that can happen in the Northern Club. 1156 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 2: I'm treating a very fine line here with you know, 1157 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,800 Speaker 2: is alcohol involved here? Did somebody at a function have 1158 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 2: a drink or two and say a few things they 1159 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 2: might regret on either side? Anyway, point being this, I 1160 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,839 Speaker 2: don't think you should lose your job, and I don't 1161 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,239 Speaker 2: think anything less of a judge, and I don't think 1162 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 2: anything less of a court just because in the quiet 1163 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 2: confines of a private function somebody said a few things. 1164 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 2: I mean, if you heard the stuff I say off here, 1165 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 2: you'd never listen to me again. 1166 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 17: I mean, lots of people will hear the stuff that 1167 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,400 Speaker 17: you say on here and never listen to you again, 1168 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:39,480 Speaker 17: Your Honor. 1169 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,640 Speaker 2: So anyway, this goes on for two weeks. I don't 1170 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 2: know how it does, but I find it fascinating because 1171 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:50,400 Speaker 2: the potential outcomes and ramifications here are very important, very weighty, 1172 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:52,839 Speaker 2: and if not gripping eight away from eight. 1173 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking breakfast with the defender and use togs 1174 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 1: dead be farther. 1175 00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 2: Away from a critical point to make about Poles. Keep 1176 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 2: this in mind for Poles in the ensuing period. So 1177 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,239 Speaker 2: we know another poll out yesterday it was the Taxpayer 1178 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 2: Courier hung parliament. This one is sixty seats apiece. So 1179 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 2: we've had three in the last week or so two 1180 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 2: to return the government won a hung parliament. Now here's 1181 00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,919 Speaker 2: the critical part. And it came out of a couple 1182 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 2: of comments last week. Penny Hadteray and Riffidy who was 1183 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 2: on the television over the weekend, and they both seem 1184 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,160 Speaker 2: to be of the conclusion that the Marray Party a 1185 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 2: toast and whyeitungy of course, would have given you absolutely 1186 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 2: no reason for reconciliation or hope. They look very similar 1187 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 2: to the Coalition in Australia, absolutely hopeless, bereft, furious with 1188 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 2: each other and going nowhere fast. Both those two aforementioned 1189 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 2: gentlemen claim that the Maray Party are basically gone. They may, 1190 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:46,440 Speaker 2: if they're lucky, get one seat. Why is this important, Well, 1191 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,120 Speaker 2: the Poles all have the Maori Party with six seats currently, 1192 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 2: so when they say it's sixty sixty that's with six 1193 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 2: Maori seats, So you can't say that because their supporter 1194 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 2: is at two point nine percent. Unless you start winning seats, 1195 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 2: your two point nine percents in the bin. So therefore 1196 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 2: your pole becomes irrelevant. And if it's irrelevant, it's not 1197 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 2: worth listening to. So do remember next time they tell 1198 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 2: your pole and includes X number of seats for the 1199 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:15,280 Speaker 2: center left block, it won't include that number because the 1200 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 2: Maori Party, unless Henry and Riffeve are wrong, are toast 1201 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 2: and they won't be back in their current shape. And 1202 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 2: this is the problem for labor because of labor. Under MMP, 1203 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 2: if you get thirty five percent of the bait, you 1204 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 2: get thirty five percent of the seats. The fact you've 1205 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 2: won a few Mara electorate seats makes no difference. Your 1206 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,520 Speaker 2: total doesn't change, and in that's a problem. So they 1207 00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 2: need their thirty five percent and thirty five percent of 1208 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:42,320 Speaker 2: the seats plus the Greens plus the Maray Party, and 1209 00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 2: if the Maory Party aren't there, they're short, and noticeably short. 1210 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,880 Speaker 2: And that's why suddenly these poles take on a whole 1211 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 2: new hue and you don't want to get sucked in 1212 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 2: by it. That's how Mike sees it. You're on it 1213 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 2: now forensics. There's an ad in a paper looking for 1214 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,160 Speaker 2: a person to do fingerprints and be a forensic specialist. 1215 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 2: This young man in Britain goes that sounds like a 1216 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 2: good job for me. I might apply, and he does, 1217 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 2: and the rest, as they say, is history. Thomas Coyle's 1218 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,760 Speaker 2: story is next after the. 1219 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 1: News asking the questions others won't the mic asking breakfast 1220 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 1: with Vida, retirement communities, life your Way, news, togs headbs. 1221 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 2: We've been talking about the judge job here. I could 1222 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:32,200 Speaker 2: be in a minority here relosing the job. I agree, Mike. 1223 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 2: Someone should not lose their job for having a few 1224 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 2: too many in shooting their mouth off. Well, let me 1225 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 2: come back to all that. We've got other matters to 1226 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,440 Speaker 2: deal with. First and seven past eight. There is a 1227 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 2: reason CSI to fill in the gap. You know, Miami, 1228 00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:48,480 Speaker 2: New York, Vegas is so popular. We love forensics now. 1229 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 2: Thomas Coyler is in the business. He started in England 1230 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 2: at Scotland Yard No unless he was a fingerprint examiner. 1231 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:55,640 Speaker 2: He arrived here he became one of our most prominent 1232 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:59,200 Speaker 2: forensic experts and crime scene investigators these days. Runs his 1233 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 2: own forensics bus as well as teaching students about well 1234 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 2: what is really a fascinating world's thirty seven year career. 1235 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,080 Speaker 2: It has been brought to life in a book that 1236 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:11,200 Speaker 2: did speak my life in forensics and Thomas Coyle as 1237 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 2: well as Thomas very good morning to. 1238 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 11: You, Good morning mine, thank you for having me on. 1239 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 2: Not at all. Do you still enjoy it as much 1240 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 2: as you did on day one? 1241 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 11: I enjoy it at Tler the Samers on day one 1242 01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 11: because forensics is changed every day, as we know, so 1243 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,200 Speaker 11: there's always something new evolve. 1244 01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 2: In couple of stories, one Cindy Kiro says to you, 1245 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 2: you should write the book. So I suppose we're grateful 1246 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 2: to her, and it's one thing to say you should 1247 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 2: write a book and one thing for you to actually 1248 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 2: do it. Do you really credit her or are we 1249 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:40,400 Speaker 2: going to do it anyway? You reckon? 1250 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 11: No, It's always been at the back of my mind 1251 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 11: that I've wanted to pour out all of the scenes 1252 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 11: that are you know, pour out the examinations I've completed 1253 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 11: over the years. But I'm not one of these authors 1254 01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 11: to say can just sit down there and write to 1255 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 11: the hearts. So I just needed of a push It 1256 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 11: was lots of you know, I I have lots of 1257 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 11: clients coming in and I've got cabinets which got on 1258 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 11: forensic caseibits and and they're just they're really amazed by 1259 01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 11: what's in there. And some of the stories are saying 1260 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,280 Speaker 11: and they keep saying, Oh, you must write a book, 1261 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 11: you must write a book. But the automatic come when 1262 01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 11: I went to collect my award there, I said, I'm 1263 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,240 Speaker 11: thinking of writing a book, and she said, you must do. 1264 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 11: I will read it. Which is very strange because now 1265 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,480 Speaker 11: it's written. I got an email from the Governor House 1266 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:31,920 Speaker 11: yesterday to send her a book. 1267 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 2: Fantastic other story you got into this because and I 1268 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,560 Speaker 2: wonder if this is a time and place thing. There's 1269 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 2: an ad for a fingerprint expert, you apply and get 1270 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 2: the job. I mean that that surely can't happen anymore. 1271 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:50,200 Speaker 11: Kenn It No, it's it. That was a real part 1272 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 11: of it. And that was and I wasn't deep and 1273 01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 11: looking into forensic science. You know, six months before that, 1274 01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 11: I knew very little about forensic science. I do very 1275 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:03,680 Speaker 11: little fingerprints. It was just a tragic circumstance that led 1276 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 11: me away from my career to a complete different pathn 1277 01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 11: this just popped up. It was just like, wow, okay, 1278 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,080 Speaker 11: it's always meant to be. 1279 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and actually a third story. Your description of a pencil, 1280 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 2: which explained that story, and therefore and then having explained it, 1281 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,640 Speaker 2: what does that tell us about the job? Does it 1282 01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 2: tell us it's more art than science or science than. 1283 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:28,160 Speaker 11: That it's a picture of both. Really, you obviously need 1284 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 11: the science to solve those items, but you need the 1285 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 11: art to describe the events at hands. So what it 1286 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 11: was was it was the interview stage of the Scotland 1287 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,720 Speaker 11: Yard and you got five really big, high profile police 1288 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 11: officers interview and you never been for a real interview before, 1289 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 11: sat there eighteen years of the grillingly, we're questions, I'm 1290 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 11: shrugging my shoulders, my head's bowed, I'm just about to 1291 01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,120 Speaker 11: walk out, and lot of them says mister Coyle, describe 1292 01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 11: a pencil. And I sat there bemused for a few 1293 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 11: seconds and I went, okay, So it's a graphite center. 1294 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 11: It's in cased in woods. You sharpen one end and 1295 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 11: you use it as a writing implement, and as soon 1296 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 11: as it goes blunt, you can resharpen it and you 1297 01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,920 Speaker 11: carry on with this process until there is no pencil 1298 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 11: left at all, and you buy a new one. And 1299 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 11: it was that description that was one of the factors 1300 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 11: that got me the position, because they wanted somebody to 1301 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 11: describe the scene. They wanted somebody to go in there 1302 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,400 Speaker 11: to do a descriptive part of looking at the scene 1303 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 11: and describing what was in there. They could teach you 1304 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 11: the science, the science, they could teach you, it was 1305 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,080 Speaker 11: just the descriptive part of going into it. Remember when 1306 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:35,520 Speaker 11: we go to court, it's normally a year and a 1307 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 11: half afterwards. So it's those descriptive elements that you need 1308 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 11: to be called from your brain. 1309 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,480 Speaker 2: That's just an adherent skill though, isn't it. I mean 1310 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 2: very few I think very few people would answer that 1311 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 2: question the way you answered it, and that would be 1312 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 2: for you just you were born that way. 1313 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 10: It was. 1314 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,320 Speaker 11: It's just one of those things where I just can 1315 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 11: describe things in real detail and yeah, you just have 1316 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 11: to have an acity. And it was just under that 1317 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 11: pressure pressure moment, are. 1318 01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:06,280 Speaker 2: You detached or do you become detached from the job 1319 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 2: or does it immerse you in emotion given what often 1320 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 2: you are dealing. 1321 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 11: With, So you learn to confrontmentalize, so you switch off 1322 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 11: emotionally when you go into a crime scene, because when 1323 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 11: I go to crime scenes, you see the worst of 1324 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 11: the worst, So you see the worst that what human 1325 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 11: person can do to another person. So you have to 1326 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 11: switch off from that because we've all got families, everyone 1327 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,920 Speaker 11: within the police, most of us have got families. Those scientists, 1328 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 11: we've all got families, and we have to go home 1329 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 11: to those families. So we do switch off emotion. If 1330 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,600 Speaker 11: you ever get very very if you bring on emotion 1331 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,640 Speaker 11: in the scene, then you might as well give it up. 1332 01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 2: Has it bothered you throughout your career at all or not? 1333 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 11: Of course it bothers me. It always bothers me when 1334 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 11: because each crime scene is different, but it bothers me, 1335 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 11: Like I say, how has humans? Sometimes you know what 1336 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 11: one person can do to another? 1337 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? What's changed science wise? I mean, has it changed dramas? 1338 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 2: So we're talking thirty seven years, has it changed dramatically? 1339 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 11: It is changed immensely, which is the fundamentals of science 1340 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 11: that within crime scenes doesn't change. 1341 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 10: It's the. 1342 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 11: Introduction of new so DNA. For instance, when I was 1343 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,840 Speaker 11: around in the late eighties, we have to get a 1344 01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 11: piece of blood, as you know, because a fifty cent 1345 01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:37,440 Speaker 11: seats piece just to profile it. So to sorry so 1346 01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 11: abo it. Nowadays you've got the advancement of forensic science 1347 01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,600 Speaker 11: with technology and we can profile. That's done with my 1348 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,600 Speaker 11: neute thing. And I do believe you had a guest 1349 01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 11: on earlier that was stating that they can't tell the 1350 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,320 Speaker 11: difference between these two twins. Well look out, they will 1351 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:57,680 Speaker 11: be able to already a tideline because what you're doing 1352 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 11: when you're doing the DNA profile and you're looking at 1353 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,240 Speaker 11: the markers a specific area, so you know your hyper 1354 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 11: wave or your icloor and all that. But now we 1355 01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,320 Speaker 11: can see you known the whole DNA profile and we 1356 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 11: can tell the different traits between identical twins, So they 1357 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,080 Speaker 11: will be able to tell the difference. 1358 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,120 Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, there was a case in France, Thomas hold 1359 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 2: On just a couple of moments, Tom Coil that did 1360 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,440 Speaker 2: Speak My Life in Forensics? More shortly fourteen past. 1361 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeart Radio, 1362 01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 1: coward by News Talks it. 1363 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 2: Be News Talks seventeen past eight. I guess is Tom 1364 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,360 Speaker 2: Coyle who's the book is the did Speak My Life 1365 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,920 Speaker 2: in Forensics? One of the most interesting. I mean, I'll 1366 01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:37,960 Speaker 2: ask you this, Tom, get it out of the way. AI. 1367 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 2: It's the standard AI question for everything these days. What 1368 01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 2: will AI do? Do you think to your field? 1369 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 11: So AI is good in certain aspects of it. So 1370 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 11: it's good at detail in the crime scene itself. So 1371 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,800 Speaker 11: you've got this three dimensional camera that goes around and 1372 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 11: it details everything, so you can get specific points within 1373 01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,320 Speaker 11: the crime scene. But it will never take cover the 1374 01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,000 Speaker 11: experience of an officer going into that crime scene. It 1375 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:08,200 Speaker 11: will never take over integrity, which is really really important, 1376 01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:12,280 Speaker 11: but it will it will assist, so it'll be, you know, 1377 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,800 Speaker 11: a good valuable tool to assess in the technical terms, 1378 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,640 Speaker 11: but as the actual examination side of it, I think 1379 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 11: it will always be the human factor that. 1380 01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:27,120 Speaker 2: Ruled given forensics. Is it's either the person or not, 1381 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,360 Speaker 2: it's the fingerprint or not. Do you get better at 1382 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,000 Speaker 2: it or it is what it is? 1383 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:38,080 Speaker 11: No, you always get better at it. Experience always assists 1384 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:42,000 Speaker 11: with the with the way that you process the evidence. 1385 01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 11: So you know, you learn to know about fingerprint, you 1386 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 11: know to learn about forensics, and you know to learn 1387 01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 11: about the specifics within there, so you know the structure 1388 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 11: of the fingerprinted pliability or the movement of the bach detail. 1389 01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 11: You know because it you know the way it's placed 1390 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,560 Speaker 11: on certain object, exit can move about, so you get 1391 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 11: to know over a period of time and experience that 1392 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 11: that type of movement and positioning. 1393 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,440 Speaker 2: One of the most interesting things that I must have 1394 01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 2: ad beitter. I hadn't thought about it this way before. 1395 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,640 Speaker 2: But forensics, especially in court, is taken as it is 1396 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,000 Speaker 2: what it is. There is no argument about it. But 1397 01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,960 Speaker 2: I think there's an interesting point you make about the 1398 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,280 Speaker 2: handling of it, whether we should accept forensics as much 1399 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 2: as we do. In other words, the defense is at 1400 01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 2: a disadvantage because the prosecution, by the police has all 1401 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,080 Speaker 2: the resource. So if that's the case, what should be done. 1402 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,679 Speaker 11: So I think what should be done is there's always 1403 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 11: two sides of the coin. We have to watch out 1404 01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 11: because you know, people are valible. Mistakes can happen from 1405 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,640 Speaker 11: time to time, and we see that through the you know, 1406 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 11: the Brandon Mayfield trial where he was wrongly convicted on 1407 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 11: an identification and the Shirley McKay from Scotland, and since 1408 01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,000 Speaker 11: the Innodance project that came out in America, there's been 1409 01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:02,639 Speaker 11: two or three wrongful convict on fingerprint identification and many 1410 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:06,599 Speaker 11: many wrongful convictions on DNA, So you're also you need 1411 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:10,000 Speaker 11: the other side of the core. You need an expert 1412 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,120 Speaker 11: to look at the evidence, reassess that evidence and just 1413 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,439 Speaker 11: make sure all the t's across and all the eyes 1414 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:19,600 Speaker 11: are dotted, and make sure that their process of protocols 1415 01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:20,680 Speaker 11: have been adhered to. 1416 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,919 Speaker 2: The handling is the key, isn't. It's not just the gathering. 1417 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 2: It's the handling that's the key. 1418 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 11: It's the handling of the exhibits from the crime scene 1419 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 11: all the way through to the courtroom. So mistakes can happen. 1420 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 11: You know, items can be you know, not mixed up, 1421 01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,800 Speaker 11: but there can be misplaced and so and the way 1422 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 11: that they're recorded or the way that they're handled. 1423 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,000 Speaker 2: Glad, glad. You got it all into a book. 1424 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 11: Tom, Yes, thank you. There's lots of there's lots of 1425 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,880 Speaker 11: information within that book, but I'm just hoping it's honest, 1426 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,640 Speaker 11: it's raw, and it gives a real insight of what 1427 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,759 Speaker 11: forensic science is about crime scenes. 1428 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,800 Speaker 2: Bentestic good to talk to. You appreciate it very much. 1429 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 2: Go well with Tom Coil The Dead Speak My Life 1430 01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:08,280 Speaker 2: in Forensics. It's a twenty one on my. 1431 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,839 Speaker 1: Costing Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate Newstalk V New Zealand's 1432 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,240 Speaker 1: medium to large enterprises and government agencies. 1433 01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 2: What are they facing at the moment? They're facing a 1434 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,800 Speaker 2: critical challenge. Basically, that challenge is doing more with less. 1435 01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,280 Speaker 2: So technology an essential tool that you can leverage to 1436 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:27,080 Speaker 2: enhance both.

So for more information check out Spark Business. 1449 01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 2: That is Spark Business online asking I agree, Mike, someone 1450 01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 2: should not lose their job for having a few too 1451 01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 2: many and shooting their mouth off. Now, there is no 1452 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 2: inference that there were a few too many. It's just 1453 01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 2: that there appeared to be a tetar tet at the 1454 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:21,280 Speaker 2: Northern Club. Even the ferocity of the Tetar tet is 1455 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,240 Speaker 2: under some dispute at the moment. Hence we have this 1456 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,719 Speaker 2: two week hearing. So Afia, we're discussing it. I've already 1457 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,880 Speaker 2: got one opinion that says she should lose her job 1458 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:32,240 Speaker 2: based on the fact of expectation. What is the expectation. 1459 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 2: The expectation is the job as front facing, which means 1460 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:37,840 Speaker 2: you are in the public eye, You are of a 1461 01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:42,280 Speaker 2: societal standing, a professional standing within the wider community. That 1462 01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 2: says that you are in a position of real responsibility. 1463 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 2: Therefore you need to behave in a certain way. The 1464 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 2: person I was talking to suggested that if they had 1465 01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 2: been in that position and done what she had done, 1466 01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,840 Speaker 2: they would expect to lose their job. Now, I then 1467 01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,680 Speaker 2: went down the track of saying, I've seen you in 1468 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:02,840 Speaker 2: that several times and I didn't dub you, and maybe 1469 01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:04,720 Speaker 2: I should, and maybe you should lose your job, at 1470 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 2: which point we all laughed. But anyway, here's the issue, Mike, 1471 01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 2: I agree. Read the judge and why the panel a 1472 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,599 Speaker 2: huge costs need to this is. Yeah, I mean there's 1473 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 2: something in this, but part of the argument is they're 1474 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,680 Speaker 2: taking it seriously. Part of the argument it's political. It 1475 01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,880 Speaker 2: came from New Zealand. First. My understanding from memory is 1476 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 2: that the complaint was made by New Zealand first to 1477 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:31,400 Speaker 2: the Attorney General, then Judith Collins, who then acted upon it. 1478 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 2: So once that particular ball's rolling, I think things have 1479 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 2: to be seen. It's the justice needs to be seen 1480 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 2: to be done thing. But if you're in a club 1481 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:45,680 Speaker 2: Northern or otherwise, a couple of separate functions doesn't need 1482 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 2: to end up in front of the Attorney General, doesn't 1483 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,439 Speaker 2: need to end up in front of a judicial conduct planel. 1484 01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:52,639 Speaker 2: Does it potentially need to end up with the person 1485 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 2: being removed hearing the judges could be removed from offers 1486 01:12:56,320 --> 01:13:00,639 Speaker 2: due to misbehavior or ability, so obviously misbehavior play here. 1487 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 2: Removal of a judge involves exceptional measures and a high threshold. 1488 01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:13,240 Speaker 2: Does a tetar tet at a private function or private 1489 01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:18,240 Speaker 2: functions involving the Foreign Minister? Is that part of the 1490 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,680 Speaker 2: equation or is it just purely political? Could it have 1491 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:24,839 Speaker 2: been any mpuh took umbrage at alleged comments and therefore 1492 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 2: elevated it to the next level. Is this all just 1493 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,280 Speaker 2: a gargantuan waste of time or is there a debate 1494 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,680 Speaker 2: to be had here? And is this going to get 1495 01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 2: an opinion? And the opinion will go nowhere because the 1496 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 2: new attorney general will not do anything about it. So 1497 01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,519 Speaker 2: that's what's going to unfold over the next couple of weeks. 1498 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,760 Speaker 2: But as I say, given it's a first and we've 1499 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,680 Speaker 2: not seen this before, we should probably pay attention and 1500 01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 2: follow proceedings. News is next, and then Rod for. 1501 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:55,560 Speaker 1: You opinion edit, informed, unapologetic, The my Hosking Breakfast with 1502 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,400 Speaker 1: the Defender embraced the impossible news. 1503 01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,600 Speaker 2: Tostad b a fascinating at the moment. So Takichi in 1504 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 2: Japan just storms the election. She's got a super majority. 1505 01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:09,479 Speaker 2: Thailand had a vote over the weekend and there was 1506 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,760 Speaker 2: some expectation that the I don't know what do you 1507 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,720 Speaker 2: want to call on the left leaners, the reformists were 1508 01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:19,479 Speaker 2: going to do reasonably well. The exact opposite happened. It 1509 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,080 Speaker 2: went very conservative. So the incumbent one that took many 1510 01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 2: by surprise. There's a spill on in Australia tomorrow the 1511 01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:31,160 Speaker 2: Libs are going to probably have a new leader. And 1512 01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,880 Speaker 2: then we come to the greatest cluster of all so 1513 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:38,879 Speaker 2: far in Kiostarma and his future and the British government. Firstly, 1514 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 2: the head of the Scottish Labor Party had a word. 1515 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 5: I could have chose to stake wire, to keep the 1516 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 5: head bull or the part of it, and just carry 1517 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:50,360 Speaker 5: on as if everything was fine for the next three months. 1518 01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:54,760 Speaker 5: But my first loyalty and my first priority is to Scotland, 1519 01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,799 Speaker 5: and Scotland so desperately needs a different kind of government 1520 01:14:58,840 --> 01:14:59,360 Speaker 5: in Scotland. 1521 01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:03,839 Speaker 2: So he's calling for Starma to go. The plane appears 1522 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,240 Speaker 2: at this stage these twenty four hours to roll out 1523 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:10,080 Speaker 2: as many people as possible to say something like this. 1524 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,200 Speaker 18: Change does take time, and we're all impatient for change 1525 01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:16,560 Speaker 18: to happen more quickly, including the voters. But Kira is 1526 01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 18: getting on and doing that, and we as a government 1527 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 18: are getting on and delivering the change that we were 1528 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 18: elected to deliver. And whilst I have enormous respect for 1529 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 18: Anas I've known him for a long time, I just 1530 01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,759 Speaker 18: profoundly disagree. I don't think this is the right approach, 1531 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 18: and I do believe Kia is the right person to 1532 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:31,799 Speaker 18: lead our country. 1533 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,519 Speaker 2: The NS is anness Sauer. Who's the blog I just 1534 01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 2: played the head of the Scottish Labor Party. So the 1535 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 2: big meeting has been held tonight, Starmer fronted up to 1536 01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 2: his only in peace. Here's a summation. 1537 01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,000 Speaker 19: Other people could have rode in behind Annasawa and said 1538 01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,479 Speaker 19: it's time for kise Dam to go. That didn't happen. 1539 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,040 Speaker 19: I think that suggests actually that people can have a 1540 01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 19: little bit of a moan and a winge about Kis Stalmer, 1541 01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,160 Speaker 19: but they actually don't want to change Prime Minister because 1542 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:54,639 Speaker 19: I don't think that's in the country's interests. 1543 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 12: International correspondence with ins and eye insurance, peace of mind 1544 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,040 Speaker 12: for New Zealanders watching at all, like. 1545 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 2: The rest of us, as run little as well as 1546 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:06,800 Speaker 2: morning mate, more is he so? I'm well? Indeed, so 1547 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:08,920 Speaker 2: yesterday it seems to be put a bit of rid 1548 01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 2: meat to those who are baying. So get a resignation 1549 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 2: out of the way. Sea that helps then have a 1550 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 2: meeting with the MPs that then wound up behind him. 1551 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 2: Is that the end of it or not? 1552 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:20,960 Speaker 10: Well, certainly not the end of it, but it might 1553 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 10: be the end of it. For a bit or at 1554 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:28,639 Speaker 10: least until Friday. You know, everything gets so truncated these 1555 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 10: days that these catastrophes happened within the space of a week. 1556 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 10: The great problem for the opposition within the Labor Party 1557 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:43,679 Speaker 10: to Keir Starmer, which incidentally constitutes ninety six point five 1558 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,280 Speaker 10: percent of the Labor Party. I mean it just does, 1559 01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:51,560 Speaker 10: is that there's no one else. You know, a Westreeting 1560 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 10: is tainted with his a with his connections with Peter 1561 01:16:56,280 --> 01:17:00,599 Speaker 10: Mandelson and also isn't popular with the Electrical Party. Angela 1562 01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:06,760 Speaker 10: Railer is still being examined for tax problems over the 1563 01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:10,839 Speaker 10: fact that she didn't actually know where she lived. Andy 1564 01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:15,519 Speaker 10: Burnham can't stand ed Milliband. You know, they go for 1565 01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:21,320 Speaker 10: Ed Milliband reformable with the next selection by a massive landslide, 1566 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,120 Speaker 10: because he is the architect of you know, net zero. 1567 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,960 Speaker 10: So there is no well easy they could go to. 1568 01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,840 Speaker 10: And I think that is what has made it far 1569 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 10: more difficult for the opposition MPs in the last for 1570 01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:38,040 Speaker 10: the opposition within the Labor Party to say, look, you 1571 01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 10: we've going to go. 1572 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:39,800 Speaker 11: You should go. 1573 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,040 Speaker 10: There is no question Boris went because he ate a 1574 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:47,240 Speaker 10: piece of cake. You know, this man has made a 1575 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 10: series of catastrophic appointments and the latest one has come 1576 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:52,080 Speaker 10: back to ald him. 1577 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:56,240 Speaker 2: You should have gone ages ago the Burnham thing. I 1578 01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:58,559 Speaker 2: know he didn't want Burnham to stand because he was 1579 01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:02,000 Speaker 2: going to challenge any way. But before did they in 1580 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 2: blocking them get exceedingly lucky not knowing that it could 1581 01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,680 Speaker 2: be catastrophic so quickly or was it all planned They 1582 01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,559 Speaker 2: knew catastrophe was coming and they were desperate to stop 1583 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:13,840 Speaker 2: them from entering politics. 1584 01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 10: No, I don't think they knew. I think that it's 1585 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 10: crediting them with more prescient than this government has ever had. 1586 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 10: They have learned from crisis to crisis since the moment 1587 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,639 Speaker 10: they were elected. Or let's give them three or four weeks. 1588 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 10: The first three or four weeks back in July to 1589 01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:41,080 Speaker 10: August twenty twenty four were okay, But since then it 1590 01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:45,680 Speaker 10: has been crisis after crisis after crisis. And you know, 1591 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 10: I talked to some Labor MPs who you know, I 1592 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,680 Speaker 10: know it hosted for northern seats, and they are just 1593 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:58,559 Speaker 10: so utterly disheartened. But you know, you look at the 1594 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 10: opinion polls, Labor is doing terribly badly. Indeed, the Tories 1595 01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:08,519 Speaker 10: are having a slight revival, but reform stubbornly cannot get 1596 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:12,559 Speaker 10: above thirty percent. So there is an election there in 1597 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,840 Speaker 10: the office in a few years time, and it's all 1598 01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:19,280 Speaker 10: to playful and Labor just has to get its kind 1599 01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,840 Speaker 10: of duck still a rome, and they will be a 1600 01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:23,679 Speaker 10: viable force. 1601 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,839 Speaker 2: Is there anything going well for labor at all? Because 1602 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I've been thinking about the general poll. So 1603 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,520 Speaker 2: you've got him and it's not him, it's the economy 1604 01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,599 Speaker 2: and all the other bits and pieces around it. Okay, 1605 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,839 Speaker 2: can they point to something, you know, when these ministers 1606 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:39,920 Speaker 2: get rolled out and saying, you know, reform takes time 1607 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,479 Speaker 2: and we're on the case, are they is anything going well? 1608 01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1609 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:48,000 Speaker 10: Ironically they can point to the fact that the number 1610 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:54,320 Speaker 10: of illegal migrants coming here has reduced considerably, and indeed 1611 01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 10: the immigration level coming here has reduced quite a lot. Now, 1612 01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,479 Speaker 10: now it's probably true that a lot of that was 1613 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,599 Speaker 10: down to measures introduced by Missus Sumacam before that Boris 1614 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:10,840 Speaker 10: Johnson's governments, but nonetheless Labour's kept up with it and 1615 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:15,559 Speaker 10: added to it, and so they can claim that on 1616 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:19,920 Speaker 10: the economy, they can claim nothing. They are in real, 1617 01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:21,040 Speaker 10: real trouble. 1618 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:27,120 Speaker 2: Morgan McSweeney, who was the casualty yesterday. It is suggested 1619 01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 2: by a lot of people, in fact everyone, as far 1620 01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 2: as I'm reading, he was the bodyguard, he was the 1621 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,560 Speaker 2: protection and Starmer is now exposed. Is that part true. 1622 01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:41,600 Speaker 10: A little? Yes, undoubtedly. Morgan McSweeney was very important to 1623 01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:45,360 Speaker 10: Kiars Starmer. He was part of the party, the part 1624 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:49,400 Speaker 10: of the party that I've come from Blue Labor. But 1625 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,759 Speaker 10: that meant immediately that he was loathed by two thirds 1626 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 10: of the Labor Party, and given the failures recently, it 1627 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 10: means he was loathed by I mean, he just had 1628 01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:07,800 Speaker 10: no platform whatsoever from which to support himself and so 1629 01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,719 Speaker 10: he had to go. I don't think that necessarily means 1630 01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 10: that Starmer has to go. Star has no idea log 1631 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:18,120 Speaker 10: He can appoint someone else. And you know, you know, 1632 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:24,280 Speaker 10: we've talked so many times over the last year, is 1633 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:26,960 Speaker 10: his time to Starmer to go. It's always time to 1634 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 10: Starmer to go because he's been a disaster. But he 1635 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:34,800 Speaker 10: never does. He never does, and he's not going now either. 1636 01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:39,160 Speaker 10: I've lost count of the number of Sage political correspondents 1637 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,400 Speaker 10: who have said to me over the last six days, well, 1638 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,400 Speaker 10: he's going to go by Monday. Here we are. It's Monday. 1639 01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 10: He's still there. 1640 01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,280 Speaker 2: Is he also saved by the fact the elections not 1641 01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:51,120 Speaker 2: this year or next. 1642 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,360 Speaker 10: Yes, of course he is. Yeah, of course he is. 1643 01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,760 Speaker 10: So he can always say things will improve greatly over 1644 01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 10: the next three years. They won't. There is no indication 1645 01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:07,880 Speaker 10: as to why they would, but yes, and of course 1646 01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:11,360 Speaker 10: is helped by the fact that there are so few 1647 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,800 Speaker 10: in accedents now in May that labor might not do 1648 01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,880 Speaker 10: that badly out of them, so that might play in 1649 01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:18,760 Speaker 10: his favorite all. 1650 01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,479 Speaker 2: Right, well, let's see what the paperwork says. When that 1651 01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 2: comes out. We'll talk to you Thursday and look forward 1652 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,639 Speaker 2: to it too. Rod Little out of Britain eight forty five. 1653 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:31,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 1654 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 1: By News talks. 1655 01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,519 Speaker 2: That'd be twelve away from nintos Darski sinator. I don't 1656 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 2: know what to say. His won silver because she was 1657 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,880 Speaker 2: in provisional gold about fifteen minutes ago. So being in 1658 01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 2: provisional gold and then winning silver is is it disappointing? 1659 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,639 Speaker 2: Or is it because being in provisional gold is different 1660 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:50,840 Speaker 2: to winning silver, I would have thought, But then again, 1661 01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:53,120 Speaker 2: there seems to camaraderie and watching some of them over 1662 01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 2: the weekend. One of them said, look, there were three 1663 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 2: New Zealanders and the top ten and the big ear. 1664 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,240 Speaker 2: They seem stoked with that. They seemed that, you know, 1665 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 2: the inference being there's a presence that we're building a 1666 01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:05,679 Speaker 2: group of people. 1667 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,360 Speaker 17: We seen it come a long way since the days 1668 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 17: of Simon we al Cob. 1669 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,679 Speaker 2: It wasn't it. There were singular members of the team 1670 01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:16,160 Speaker 2: and a team of seventeen. Now I suppose as testament 1671 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,360 Speaker 2: to a program in the Central Otago region that actually 1672 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,360 Speaker 2: works one year, two hundred and nineteen days. So for 1673 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,720 Speaker 2: those who are counting down to the demis or the 1674 01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 2: end of Kirstarmer, he's sitting this morning at one year 1675 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 2: and two hundred and nineteen days. If he left today, 1676 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 2: he would be the shortest living prime minister ever by 1677 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,360 Speaker 2: a mile. Gordon Brown at two years three eighteen James 1678 01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 2: Callaghan three years twenty nine days, and Clement Atley of 1679 01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 2: six years ninety two back back in the Second World War. 1680 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 2: Of course, Wilson and McDonald are also in their ramsay 1681 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,760 Speaker 2: McDonald at more than six years, but they had sort 1682 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 2: of tenures were spread over the shortest actual Isla's trust, 1683 01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:53,639 Speaker 2: but she wasn't elected. Of course he didn't win an election. 1684 01:23:54,200 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 2: She lasted forty nine glorious days and I did won day. 1685 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,439 Speaker 2: At what point is it folly to write a book 1686 01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:10,800 Speaker 2: which he did? After who rings who? When you've been 1687 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:13,639 Speaker 2: bundled out after forty nine days? Does the publisher ring 1688 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,400 Speaker 2: you and go? Tell you what, Liz? They were interesting 1689 01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,840 Speaker 2: forty nine days? Let's put a book together? Or does 1690 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:21,679 Speaker 2: Liz ring the publisher and go? Would you be interested 1691 01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:23,759 Speaker 2: in my full forty nine days story of what? Actually? 1692 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 17: What was it? A picture book? 1693 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:25,960 Speaker 2: Anyway? I don't know what it was. 1694 01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 17: When they had a coffee table. Here's my story in photos. 1695 01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:33,719 Speaker 2: Rishi Monday, Tuesday. All the days are covered. Rishie's Sunnic 1696 01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 2: was one year and two hundred and fifty four days. 1697 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:40,759 Speaker 2: So from what Rod was saying, he thinks he'll he'll 1698 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 2: tough it out. It takes a certain personality, doesn't it, 1699 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,720 Speaker 2: to know you should be doing one thing but to 1700 01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 2: go it'll all blow over or willet. 1701 01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:55,759 Speaker 1: Nine to nine The Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Vita 1702 01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:57,920 Speaker 1: Retirement Communities News togs. 1703 01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 2: Head be Mike thoughts on the Super Bowl Patriots got 1704 01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 2: a exposed as they were always going to be the 1705 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,880 Speaker 2: fact May finished second in the MVP vote was a joke. 1706 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,720 Speaker 2: I see Cadillac reveal their Formula one car in the 1707 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:09,519 Speaker 2: Super Bowl add So there's that, I guess. But that 1708 01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 2: game was always going to produce any one winner. I disagree. 1709 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,320 Speaker 2: I mean, you're right, obviously, because it did only produce 1710 01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,960 Speaker 2: one winner and it went the way many people thought 1711 01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 2: it would. And one of the unusual parts about the NFL, 1712 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 2: perhaps a weakness I'm not sure, is because they've got 1713 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,760 Speaker 2: thirty two teams, they don't play each other. There's only 1714 01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:31,760 Speaker 2: seventeen games in the season, and many sides never meet 1715 01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:33,519 Speaker 2: each other. And I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying 1716 01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:37,599 Speaker 2: the Patriots don't play the Seahawks and have probably never 1717 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,800 Speaker 2: really played the Seahawks apart from at the very end 1718 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 2: of the season in something like a Super Bowl. So 1719 01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 2: there was that aspect of it, and Drake May was 1720 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:47,479 Speaker 2: found out. Drake Made's a great talent. He will go 1721 01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,600 Speaker 2: in to be a great quarterback, perhaps one of the 1722 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:52,640 Speaker 2: greats who would know. Time will tell. But what we 1723 01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,479 Speaker 2: did find out yesterday is when you're twenty three and 1724 01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,960 Speaker 2: in your second season and the big time calls, some 1725 01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:00,680 Speaker 2: people are up for it and some people aren't. He 1726 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,280 Speaker 2: wasn't basically, so you can't blame it all on him. 1727 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,040 Speaker 2: There are plenty of other things went wrong for the side, 1728 01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,559 Speaker 2: but I suppose you can go, well, we made it 1729 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:12,360 Speaker 2: to the super Bowl and thirty other teams didn't. But 1730 01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,320 Speaker 2: as for the Cadillac, it's a good looking car. They're 1731 01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:15,680 Speaker 2: all good looking cars. If you haven't seen the F 1732 01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,600 Speaker 2: one cars for the new season, there's something about the 1733 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 2: smaller size. They are noticeably smaller, and there's something about 1734 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 2: that that makes them a more appealing looking car. I'll 1735 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:27,639 Speaker 2: be interested to see them in Monaco because the cars 1736 01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:30,200 Speaker 2: got too big for Monico. Monico looked ridiculous with those 1737 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,320 Speaker 2: big cars. Those cars are over five meters long. They're 1738 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:35,720 Speaker 2: longer than a range Rover, and so a bit of 1739 01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:37,759 Speaker 2: smaller cars, a bit of looking car. It's a more nimble, 1740 01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,120 Speaker 2: agile looking car. Everyone's waiting for Aston, of course, because 1741 01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 2: they hit their Livery in Bahrain the other day, so 1742 01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:45,479 Speaker 2: they're in Barcelona the other day. So they're going to 1743 01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:47,840 Speaker 2: Barrain this next week, so presumably we'll see that. And 1744 01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,280 Speaker 2: I think McLaren were hiding their livery as well. Speaking 1745 01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 2: of which, five minutes away from nine. 1746 01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:57,480 Speaker 12: Trending now with Kelli Swarehouse stop paying too much. 1747 01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 2: Now, I said I'd do this. Charlie Pooth was doing 1748 01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:13,240 Speaker 2: the end from yesterday Conusci. He dressed as though he 1749 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:18,559 Speaker 2: was going to an economics lecture. He had a sort 1750 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:23,559 Speaker 2: of a zip up jacket and some slacks and a 1751 01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:28,720 Speaker 2: tie that was sort of loose around the neck. And 1752 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,760 Speaker 2: Sam and I were talking this morning. We were saying, when 1753 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:32,719 Speaker 2: was Charlie Pooth last on the program? And the answer 1754 01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 2: was a couple of years ago. And he was a 1755 01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 2: very likable guy, very pleasant sort of going, and we 1756 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:37,840 Speaker 2: had a very nice chat. He was sitting on his 1757 01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:44,519 Speaker 2: bed being interviewed by me, and without visual connection and 1758 01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,720 Speaker 2: a different set of circumstances, you might read that the 1759 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:51,120 Speaker 2: wrong way, but there was nothing untoward about it. Here 1760 01:27:51,120 --> 01:28:00,160 Speaker 2: we go, I wope this. He's on a piano, by 1761 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 2: the way, or a keyboard that fits mobbling, and he 1762 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:14,320 Speaker 2: had some people a choir sitting down, which I thought 1763 01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,920 Speaker 2: was slightly weird because not only did he have the keyboard, 1764 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,639 Speaker 2: he was standing up at the keyboard while the choir 1765 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:23,800 Speaker 2: sat down, leading me to ask if you ever seen 1766 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:26,200 Speaker 2: anything like that before? And I answered myself. I said, no, 1767 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:30,479 Speaker 2: I haven't. Criticism would be the auto tune. But then again, 1768 01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:36,240 Speaker 2: isn't it August, It's going to run out on time? 1769 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:37,280 Speaker 2: When if you butt you it? 1770 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:40,080 Speaker 17: What do you mean me? You're the already started the 1771 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:41,120 Speaker 17: segmenta tia seconds lay. 1772 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 2: That's not true. You're honor back tomorrow as always have 1773 01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 2: we done this? 1774 01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:53,760 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 1775 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,920 Speaker 1: news talks.
