We're 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: in a real quandary at the moment, aren't we. The 12 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: Dragons were what better than we thought? The opening break 13 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: where they spilled the ball that was a precursor of 14 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: things to come. Are their opening try or try show 15 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: pace expansion the work of a quality team. They lit 16 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: at half time rightly so I thought our tries, especially 17 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: the first with that mad unstructured razzle dazzle of old 18 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: that it tries to try upshot is either it was 19 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: a good game actually it was exciting hit a showmanship 20 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: about it. Not a lot of points, but plenty of 21 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: high drama and the good news this of course we win. 22 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: Now here's the issue. What does it say about a 23 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: side that can lose three then win one and still 24 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: be in the top four, not just the eight, not 25 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: just scrapping desperately for some last chance playoff spot, but 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: the top four. Only good sides get to that sort 27 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: of position. Also, based on the run in versus the 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: run in for some of the other sides, we have 29 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: to be good for at least four more points, maybe 30 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: fingers cross six points. The others, as the Panthers and 31 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 2: the Bulldogs found out, don't have that luxury. So all 32 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: things being equal, we find ourselves, do we not in 33 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: a unique position? What if we're in the four but 34 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: we haven't beaten the sides we will eventually face for 35 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: the title. Is a soft run even if it's a 36 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: clean sweep, a soft run in enough of a runway 37 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: to have us believe that we can suddenly play and 38 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: beat sides we haven't been able to beat all year. 39 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: What about the injuries? How many of these ones who 40 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: might be back before the end of the season have 41 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 2: to come back to bolster a ravaged side to give 42 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: us a sense that we are, in fact suddenly good 43 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: enough to do what? Until now we haven't been able 44 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: to do. Yes, the run to the finals is the key. 45 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: The team's on the up. Are the ones who will win? 46 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: Are we a team on the up? Could we be 47 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: a team on the up? So I've already said it, 48 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: said it last week. This isn't our year. It might 49 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: be a good year, could be bordering on an excellent year. 50 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: But could I be wrong? Surely top four deserves more 51 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 2: hope and more expectation than I'm giving them. So is 52 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: this our year? Open question? 53 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: What news of the world in ninety seconds? 54 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 2: Well scrambling and the private jets being fired up as 55 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 2: half of Europe is getting set to hit Washington tomorrow. 56 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: Ursul has prepared her shopping list. 57 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 4: Ukraine must be able to uphold its sovereignty and its 58 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: territorial integrity. No limitations on Ukrainian armed forces. Ukraine must 59 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 4: become a steel porcupine, undigestible for potential invaders. 60 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: What Vlood's talking tough. 61 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 5: It's necessary to cease fire and work quickly on a 62 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 5: final deal. We'll talk about it in Washington. Putin does 63 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 5: not want to stop the killing, but he must do it. 64 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: The other war is the Soonamore protests.

They are also 81 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 9: ensuring that the horrors of October seventh will recur again 82 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 9: and again. 83 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: And then in Britain it's horse racing fans up in 84 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: arms as the government dies a tax increase on beating, 85 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: so the industry is going on strike. 86 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 10: We are part of the social fabric eventuation with a 87 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 10: second most attended sport in We are part of broad 88 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 10: communities right up and down the country.

Fifteen past six, Rich 112 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: Smith's morning to you. Morning mikeep from devon A Funds Management, 113 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: and I see something above fifty in manufacturing and I'll 114 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: take it all day long. 115 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, we've got some good news and it's not from 116 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 11: tourism or agriculture for once. So this is the Benz 117 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 11: Business News, the Unperformance of Manufacturing Index fifty two point eight. 118 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: You quite right. 119 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 11: It's an expensiony mode, up from forty nine point two 120 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 11: in June and the average of fifty two point five 121 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 11: since survey began. 122 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: So we're back at the levels of activities. 123 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 11: Sought the start a year all five seven decease. They 124 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 11: were an expansion mode. So new orders hecensed March twenty 125 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 11: twenty two, production heigcens August twenty twenty two, and even 126 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 11: employment they edged into positivity. That's encouraging as well. But yeah, 127 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 11: before we popped the champagne cork, the proportion of negative 128 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 11: comments and respondents stood at fifty eight point six percent, 129 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 11: so that's down from sixty five percent of main June. 130 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 11: But still observed that a pessimism there around costs, inflation, 131 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 11: economic concertainly, and of course our fifteen percent tariffs that 132 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 11: put some explorers at a competitive disadvantage. So yeah, some 133 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 11: manufacturers citing a lack of confidence still and customers basically 134 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 11: ordering only what they immediately need. That's creating some sta conditions. 135 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 11: But activity has edged up but was still in a 136 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 11: tepid state. So now let's see we whether we get 137 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 11: a definitive turning point. But yeah, he sounds like we 138 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 11: might need another. 139 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: Rake up and then we've got well, we'll get one 140 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: of those this week. I hope fingers crossed. 141 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 11: Now. 142 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: Migration at thirteen seven, so it's going down. It's getting 143 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: close to the zero every time we look in the Yeah, 144 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: that's right. 145 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 11: The Talwin's continue to fade, and I'd say we're barely 146 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 11: a stiff breeze right now. So yeah, thirteen thousand, seven 147 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 11: hundred and June twenty five years that was down from 148 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 11: seventy four hundred and June twenty twenty four, So we 149 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 11: lost forty six and a half thousand New Zealanders and 150 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 11: that's near record levels. We did see sixty thousand and 151 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 11: two and again of non New Zealanders. On the other side, 152 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 11: so that also was down from the Giddy Heights one 153 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 11: hundred and fifteen thousand in June twenty twenty four, and 154 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 11: the number of non New Zealand citizens arriving had nearly 155 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 11: hard from the October twenty twenty three years, so New 156 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 11: Zealand's is not as attractive as it was, and the 157 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 11: brain drain MIKE is continuing. Seventy one thousand, eight hundred 158 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 11: departures of kiwis in the June twenty five year that 159 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 11: was just below the record in twenty twelve. In terms 160 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 11: of age group, eighteen to thirty year olds are thirty 161 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 11: eight percent of the amount. If we want to take 162 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 11: a positive, that's down from the peak in nineteen seventy nine. 163 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 11: It's sixty percent then, but fourteen out of every thousand 164 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 11: on a per capita basis are leaving, and that's also 165 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 11: down from a peak of twenty in that same year. 166 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 11: But one thing though, Mike tourism is still humming. Overseas 167 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 11: visit arrivals three point three eight million in the year 168 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 11: that's up one hundred and sixty two thousand on the 169 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 11: year before. Ossie's are coming in droves up one hundred 170 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 11: and forty one thousand to one point four million. Just 171 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 11: looking at the month June, we still visit arrivals of 172 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 11: one hundred eight six eight hundred, so we're around about 173 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 11: eighty seven of pre COVID. So sort of getting back there. 174 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 11: And you talk about food inflation, the cost of living, well, 175 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 11: we're still managing to find money to go sure on holidays. Yeah, 176 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 11: so particular Aga are record seven hundred and thirty thousand 177 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 11: trips there, that's up twenty percent on the year before. 178 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 11: And we suppose, you know, we're also looking at the 179 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 11: region accounting for around about a quarter of all short 180 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 11: term overseas trips. So now the borders are certainly busy. 181 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: Mike Good US retail scene, give us the update. 182 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 11: So the US consumers hanging in there. So sales rows 183 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 11: at the retail level up half percent last month, seven 184 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 11: and twenty six billion. That was extending dunes up at 185 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 11: the revised point nine percent move annually, it's up three 186 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 11: point nine percent. The numbers zo aren't adjusted for inflation 187 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 11: to be that of mine. But America's love of cars 188 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 11: that continue to drive spending, So motor vehicle and autoparts 189 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 11: are up one point six percent. If you strip all 190 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 11: that out sales up point three percent, So it does 191 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 11: seem like things are moderating and we're seeing the uning seeds. 192 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 12: Mike. 193 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 11: It's particularly moderating in terms of spending amongst lower income households. 194 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 11: And there was an interesting survey out as well, as 195 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 11: there always is from a University of Michigan, and that 196 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 11: showed that consumers sentiment is down for the first time 197 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 11: in four months. And guess what the concerns are over inflation. 198 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 11: So consumers they expect inflation to be four point nine 199 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 11: percent of the next year, three point nine the next 200 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 11: five to ten years, and that it's a little bit 201 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 11: of a concern really because fifty eight percent of use 202 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 11: consumers plan to cut back their spinning on the year 203 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 11: head as they braced for further inflation. So, you know, 204 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 11: maybe despite what the White House in recent CPI data 205 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 11: maybe saying, I reckon, Americans see themselves as footing the bill, 206 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 11: so they might be onto something. US import prices they 207 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 11: increased by point four percent in July. That was against 208 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 11: expectations for them to be flat numbers.

Regret as one of the greatest processes. 300 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: You know, you're not going to be finding any improvement 301 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: by not being honest with yourself about who you are 302 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: and what you did and what you might have said. 303 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 2: Let's see refined Russell clearly in the contemplative mood with 304 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: those smart gentleman barbers ai into that. What about running 305 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: it on nuclear? What about that? Is an idea? This 306 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: is an idea. That's a good idea, but it's one 307 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: of those good ideas that's going nowhere. Were having you 308 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: report on this and the possibilities for the New Zealand 309 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: economy to tell you about in a moment, the. 310 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: News and the newsmakers, the Mic Hosking breakfast with Rainethrover 311 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: leading by example, news togs dead by. 312 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: Interesting polls out in Australia this morning. I have to 313 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: you shortly, Richard arn lobbisly on tomorrow's big meeting in 314 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: the monment though twenty three minutes away from seven back 315 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: here in New report is what we need to do 316 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: energy wise when it comes to things like AI. We 317 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: want it, as claimed, to become a data hub. Now 318 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: to do this, we need to look at small scale 319 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: You're ready small scale nuclear reactors. Thomas Scrooonship, researcher at 320 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: the maximum institutes with us Thomas Morning, Good morning, Mike. 321 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: Do we want to become an AI and data center country? 322 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: It doesn't everybody? And if we do, aren't we behind 323 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: the race already? 324 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 14: Well, we certainly have a wonderful opportunity here to be 325 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 14: thinking about how we can expand this industry. Now, we 326 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 14: already have some of these data centers here in New Zealand, 327 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 14: both smaller local providers but also Amazon and Microsoft are 328 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 14: investing reasonably heavily in New Zealand. It's expected to count 329 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 14: for about ten billion dollars of GDP over the next 330 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 14: fifteen years. So there are things already happening. And I 331 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 14: guess the advantage we have is that we have a 332 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 14: relatively cool climate, and we have renewable energy, which some 333 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 14: investors will think is at a feature, and then reconably 334 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 14: good privacy laws. So we are an attractive opportunity here, 335 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 14: but we need to make the right steps keep. 336 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: Growing it in the scale up required power wise, is 337 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: nuclear the only way, Well. 338 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 14: Nuclear is not the only way. The secret with energy 339 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 14: production is to pursue all options. The government has just 340 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 14: announced in the last few months a sixty million dollar 341 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 14: investment and researching super critical geothermal. So that's like conventional 342 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 14: geotherrmal energy, but you go deeper and find more power. 343 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 15: So that's another. 344 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 14: Pushing out the boat a bit to see some emerging technologies, 345 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 14: but conventional things like hydro and geothermal are great as well. 346 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,479 Speaker 14: So we want all sorts of energy. 347 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 16: Are they? 348 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: Because that's why I asked the question. I mean, we 349 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: can't even produce enough power to keep the lights on 350 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: on a cold winter's morning for goodness sake. From everything 351 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: I'm reading with AI and data, it needs to be 352 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: exponentially growing. And that's what more dams, more propellers, more panels. 353 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely we small nuclear reactors are an excellent source 354 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 14: of energy that we should be exploring. The International Energy 355 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 14: Agencies report earlier this year was titled a New Era 356 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 14: for Nuclear Energy. The world is heavily heavily investing in 357 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 14: nuclear power. Over thirty countries have signed a pledge to 358 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 14: triple nuclear power production by twenty fifty. The world is 359 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 14: returning to nuclear power because it is clean, because it 360 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 14: is reliable, is always there for you. The nuclear power 361 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 14: is something we should be looking at. 362 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: That is correct, And you offer logic to me this morning, 363 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: and yet there will be many in New Zealand are 364 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: going absolutely not. How do you get over that hurdle? 365 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 14: Well, the first thing I want to point out is 366 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 14: that New Zealand's opposition to nuclear power is quite recent 367 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 14: in the nineteen seventies, so not that long ago. In 368 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 14: the nineteen seventies, we had a Royal Commission on Nuclear 369 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 14: Power and a release support Report in nineteen seventy eight 370 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 14: that was expecting a significant nuclear power program in New 371 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 14: Zealand by the early twenty first century. It's only since 372 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 14: the nineteen eighties we became a country that reacted against 373 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 14: nuclear power because of its associations with weapons testing in 374 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 14: the Pacific. But nuclear energy is not the same thing 375 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 14: as a nuclear bomb, and New Zealand hasn't always been 376 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 14: opposed to nuclear energy. Once upon a time we were 377 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 14: expecting to get nuclear power, and we can talk people 378 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 14: back into that. 379 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: Almost too much logic for us to handle on a 380 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 2: Monday Thomas Well done. Thomas Scrims are out of the 381 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: Maximum Institute this morning. 382 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: It is nineteen to seven the Mic Hosking Breakfast Full 383 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News. 384 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: Talksb Heart Foundation runs seven lotteries every year, right each 385 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: with an incredible Jenian home up for grabs, And right 386 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: now there's a fully finished, started to be one in beautiful, 387 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: iconic tempo, absolute belter.

I didn't see the interview. 406 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 2: Who's got time for that on a Sunday for goodness sake? 407 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: I saw the clips on the news, but the arrogance 408 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 2: involved is gobsmacking, isn't it. Which it brings me to 409 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 2: what I did read over the weekend was Bruce Cottle's 410 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 2: piece in The Herald. If you missed it read It 411 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: culminates in the simple Lie. He talks about these clowns 412 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: and not turning up and lack of accountability and responsibility 413 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: and lack of professionalism, all things that are going wrong 414 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 2: with the country. It culminates with the line of New 415 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 2: Zealand you need to wake up well worth reading sixteen. 416 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 13: To two International Correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace 417 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 13: of mind for New Zealand business. 418 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 2: I'd Reachenland morning the good and what mind. Do you 419 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: have you any room left in the room tomorrow? 420 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 7: Yeah? 421 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 17: The Europeans are coming, are they ever? They are sending, 422 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 17: as you indicate, a remarkable number of heavy hitters through 423 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 17: Washington tomorrow to backup Ukrainian leader Zelenski in his meeting 424 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 17: post the Alaska someond with Trump. These include Germany's Chancellor 425 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 17: of Matt's, French President Macron, Britain's PM starm At, Finnish 426 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 17: President Stubb, Italy's Maloney, and the boss of NATO, Mark Rutta. 427 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 17: All these people are posse meant to who defend Zelensky 428 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 17: after he was ambushed on his last visit to the 429 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 17: overlofs Many will recall, No, says US Secretary of State Rubio. 430 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 18: They're not coming here tomorrow to keep Zelensky from being bullied. 431 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 7: Rubio says, as well, of this session. 432 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 18: Our goal here is to have a peace agreement to 433 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 18: end this war, okay. And obviously we felt, and I agreed, 434 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 18: that there was enough progress, not a lot of progress, 435 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 18: but enough progress made in those talks to allow us 436 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 18: to move to the next phase. If not, we wouldn't 437 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 18: be having Zelenski flying all the way over here. We 438 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 18: wouldn't be having all the Europeans coming all the way over. 439 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 17: What was the progress. Well, they're not really saying much, 440 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 17: which is typical of these meetings. It softened days and 441 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 17: days before we find out what really went on behind 442 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 17: closed doors. Instead, we saw all those upsettings, theatrics like 443 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 17: the glad handling with the Putin who was grinning as 444 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 17: he was welcomed into the Beast, the armored US presidential limo, 445 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 17: and who then was allowed to speak first at the 446 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 17: summit's No Questions news briefing and gleefully claimed that he 447 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 17: would never have invaded U Crate if Trump was in 448 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 17: power at the time, and who then labeled the Biden election. 449 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 2: Victory as they fraud. 450 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 17: It was pretty grotesque, says Democratic centers Chris Van Holland. 451 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 19: It was an embarrassment for the United States. It was 452 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 19: a failure. Couldn't got everything he wanted. I mean, first 453 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 19: of all, he wanted that photo op right, He wanted 454 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 19: to be absolved of his war crimes in front of 455 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 19: the world. He was invaded to the United States. War 456 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 19: criminals are not normally invited to the United States of America. 457 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 19: He is intentionally murdering civilians. He's kidnapping children, and now 458 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 19: he got to stand next to the President of the 459 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 19: United States, legitimized in the view of the world. 460 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: Second, he'd have to. 461 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 17: Give up anything, nothing, Well, a letter to Pertin prom 462 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 17: us first, Lady, Milania is a river to have been 463 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 17: written by Ai just Putin to quote restore the melodic 464 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 17: laughter of children. Sure, Russia fired another sixty weapons into 465 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 17: Ukraine last night, killing five people, wounding another eleven. Since 466 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 17: this war began, New York Times says Russia has lost 467 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 17: at least one hundred and twenty thousand people killed, while 468 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,959 Speaker 17: the Guardians suggests it's over one million Russians killed or wounded, 469 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 17: while Ukrainian losses are estimated at seventy thousand dead and 470 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 17: up to one hundred and twenty thousand wounded. But is 471 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 17: there more happening on the diplomatic front. The Ukrainian medium 472 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 17: is slamming as unacceptable Russia's calls for Ukrainian territory to 473 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 17: be ceded to Putin, even in areas of the Eastern 474 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 17: Donetic that Russia doesn't have military control overs yet. One 475 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 17: Ukrainian newspaper calls the Alaska someone quotes sickly, shameful and 476 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 17: useless for Trump. In voice, Steve Widcough, who has been 477 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 17: very much eat on the talk, says no, there have 478 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 17: been small diplomatic gains from Russia. 479 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 16: They made some other concessions on several of the regions. 480 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 16: I'm not going to discuss it now. 481 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 2: The Ukrainians are aware of it, as are the Europeans, 482 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 2: and it was significant. 483 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 20: That's interesting. 484 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 17: Also on future security, says Witkough. 485 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 21: We agreed to. 486 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: Robust security guarantees that I would describe as game changing. 487 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 17: Again tell us more so, it's a tough situation, a 488 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 17: tough meeting for Zelensky. Meantime, One other view is that 489 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 17: all is simply to set up things to fail. Whether 490 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 17: Trump team then can say they tribe and walk off, 491 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 17: bailing on the commitment and leaving Ukraine and the Western 492 00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 17: Alliance in chaos. 493 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 2: See let's see see Wednesday. Richard Arden state, So I 494 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 2: just a couple of things in that part of the world. 495 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 22: D C. 496 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: Washington are suing Trump over the you know, in fact, 497 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 2: there's a lot of tanks on the streets and they 498 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 2: don't like it. Mortgage rates lowest level in ten months. 499 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 2: But think about this, they're thirty fixed, which is psychologically 500 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 2: quite something for people in this country. You argue over 501 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: whether we should settle on eighteen months or two years, 502 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: they do thirty years fixed. It's currently sitting. It's the 503 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: Remember it's the lowest levels in October six, zero point 504 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: five eight percent, So it ain't that flash. But the 505 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: best story out of America this weekend was, of course, 506 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: the fact that Stoltenberg, formerly of NATO, was wandering down 507 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: the street perfectly happily when his phone rings and it 508 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 2: was Trump inquiring about the Nobel Peace Price. I wouldn't 509 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 2: mind price. And of all the stories that float around 510 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: about Trump as to whether they're true or not, you 511 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 2: know full will that's true, don't you. Ten away from 512 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 2: seven the. 513 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 3: Mike Casting Breakfast with Bailey's real estate news talks, they'd be. 514 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: By the way, I mean this briefly. Last week, Bolivia's 515 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 2: voting at the moment for the president for the BP 516 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 2: thirty six Senate seat one hundred and thirty Chamber of Deputies, 517 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 2: the most important one. There's a couple of the right wingers. 518 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: There are ten candidates in all. The two leading ones 519 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 2: will not get. No one thinks today they will get 520 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 2: the fifty percent required. So they're going to have a runoff, 521 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 2: but that's unfolding as we speak. Three polls, you want, 522 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: three poles, So as regards the aforementioned Robertson, Hipkins, et cetera, 523 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: and that disgrace as to whether they should have fronted 524 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: the COVID inquiry poll out over the weekend, fifty three 525 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 2: to twenty eight. Does that surprise you? Nineteen don't know. 526 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: That will be their great hope. That'll be the advice 527 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 2: they're getting from Denton's the lawyers, of course, that people 528 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: have moved on and next year an election year, they 529 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: don't feel bad about it anymore, that they don't care anymore. 530 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: But fifty three to twenty eight, twenty eight agree with 531 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 2: their decision, fifty three don't agree with it. So that's 532 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: fairly compelling, I would argue. Then we've got a poll 533 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: this morning and at two poles in Australia. One's a 534 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: news poll forty two percent, so that the US tariffs 535 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: are of more concern than the Chinese military build up. 536 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 2: So I suppose that's got something to do with the 537 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: real world and real life in your price to be 538 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: groceries or yaka or your house or whatever. So forty 539 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 2: two percent think the US tariffs are more important than 540 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: the Chinese military build up. So it's forty two to 541 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:20,199 Speaker 2: thirty seven twenty one. Don't know, it's split Conservatives more 542 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: worried about the Chinese. But then you've got Elban Easy 543 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: and this is one of them. This is a zeitgeist thing. 544 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 2: As far as I can work out, Elban Easy is 545 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: getting more popular by the day. For a guy who 546 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 2: struggled in his first term at times looked like a shambles, 547 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 2: he won the election one at well, and then this 548 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 2: morning's poll they're up another two points primary vote to 549 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 2: thirty seven, the coalition's primary steady on twenty nine and 550 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 2: one nation is up a little bit. In fact, they're 551 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: up three to nine. And the rest of his increases 552 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: come from the minor parties, where the support is fading 553 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: away on the two party preferred, which is what they 554 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 2: base it on. Of course, fifty nine forty one. It's 555 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: a thrasho. So not only did he win a gargantuan 556 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 2: victory in the election, if they would hold election today 557 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: he would get even more seats. How do you explain that? 558 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: And when I say the zeitgeist, is it just one 559 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: of those things? Once you perceive in your mind he 560 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: looks like a winner. Therefore he is. Could that be 561 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 2: the reverse of luxeant? Once you perceive he's not doing 562 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 2: that well, therefore he isn't. And whether it's true or 563 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 2: not doesn't matter. It's just it's a vibe. It's Marbo 564 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: five minutes away from seven polly Ins and the outs. 565 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business favor. Take your business productivity 566 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: to the next level. 567 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 2: Now our old mark listened. Craig's investment is worth read 568 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 2: this morning in the paper because he says, the current 569 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 2: reporting is that go I got to get a couple 570 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: of good stories. So eating out. I've got stats around 571 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: eating out for you after seven o'clock. We are spending 572 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: money like the snow tomorrow. We're spending like drunks. In fact, 573 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 2: we probably are drunk when we eat out. The probably 574 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: get drunk and then spend more money. Anyway, I've got that. 575 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: You saw the manufacturing numbers earlier on this morning with 576 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: Greg but marks in the paper this morning, he says 577 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 2: the current reporting season suggests the long awaited economic recovery 578 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 2: is in sight. We're at the point where we can 579 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 2: reverse the damage of eight consecutive quarters of contraction. He 580 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 2: points to agg doing well, so there's no surprise there. 581 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: But he also says importantly, we've got through what those 582 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 2: in the industry called the confession season, when those businesses 583 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 2: that are struggling simply can't pretend anymore that they're viable. 584 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 2: And despite some businesses in retail construction, we've all heard 585 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 2: the story folding, he argues, We're out the other side 586 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:35,719 Speaker 2: of confession season largely unscathed. We're relying on guidance from 587 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: the big companies coming up in the next week or so. 588 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: We've got Contact Energy, A two as Greg alluded to, 589 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: spark Auckland Airport, Freightways, Fletcher Building. They're all reporting freight 590 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 2: ways and Fletcher Building right the ups and downs of 591 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,479 Speaker 2: the economy more than others. So the numbers are going 592 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: to be fascinating. 593 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 9: So the end of. 594 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: August is shaping up to be a big couple of 595 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 2: weeks for the government. So between the manufacturing, I gave 596 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: you the trichometer before I left you on Friday, them 597 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: at both light and heavy. We're both up. Got mark 598 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: in the paper this morning. I've got people out spending 599 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,959 Speaker 2: like drunks at HOSPO. If you're watching the news last night. 600 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: They had the big travel show in christ Church over 601 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: the last couple of days. They've never seen people spending 602 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: money on travel like it in their life. We're going 603 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: to Asia. We're loving Asia apparently, so someone's got some dough. 604 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 8: I'm going to have to get my Mashitti out take 605 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 8: care of these green shoots. 606 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 2: It's amazing. So I don't know what's going on. Then 607 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: we come to the business of debt. Maybe that's where 608 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 2: it's all gone. Maybe we're just putting it on the 609 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: credit card. So we're heading towards a trillion dollars in debt? 610 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 2: Is that a bit of clickbait? I mean, is that 611 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: really a thing? Do we worry about things like that? 612 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 2: We'll crunch some numbers with Sharon's on or after the news, which. 613 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 17: Is next, Mazie. 614 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: The only report you need to start your day the 615 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: my casting Breakfast with Bailey's real estate altogether better across residential, commercial, 616 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: ad rural news toms. 617 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 2: He'd be well seven past seven. So the Herald this 618 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 2: morning are running a Nation of Debt series, and the 619 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: bit that's designed to get the clicks is the part 620 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: that tells us we're nearing a trillion dollars in debt, 621 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: and you're supposed to go, oh trillion, my word. Currently 622 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: it's eight hundred and seventy billion. That importantly is across 623 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: private and public. It's everybody's debt, of course, So what 624 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: does it actually mean? Sharon Zolna is the Ains Chief 625 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 2: economist of Courses back with a Sharon morning, good morning. 626 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: What am I supposed to make of this? Are we worried? 627 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: Is the trillion dollars a thing or not? 628 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 22: Well, it is a thing, but it's a nominal thing. 629 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 22: So yeah, you're quite right. They're just comparing nominal numbers 630 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 22: over time, don't It doesn't tell you a lot. You've 631 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 22: got to at least inflate it deflated by the price level, 632 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 22: or even better, consider it relative to incomes or relative 633 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 22: to wealth, and then you start getting some numbers that 634 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 22: are a bit more meaningful and less scary. 635 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 2: Right, And when you do that, are we in good shape? 636 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 2: Reasonable shape? Shocking shape? What sort of shape are week? 637 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 13: Well? 638 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 22: Things have deteriorated. Over the last ten years or so. 639 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 22: Our total debt to GDP's gone from about one hundred 640 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 22: and ninety percent to two hundred and eight percent. It's 641 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 22: a bit under double to a bit over double. And 642 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 22: if you look at what's caused, that is all government debt. 643 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 22: So household debt had a bump with the massive housing 644 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 22: bubble we had, but it's actually come back. It's about 645 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 22: half the debt, and then corporate debt and government debt 646 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 22: each about a quarter of the total. But the big 647 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 22: increase has been in government debt of course. 648 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 3: With the COVID. 649 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: Here, see what I worry about if I worry about anything, 650 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: is that who borrowed it, what did they borrow it for, 651 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: and are they paying it back? So business debt I 652 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: don't worry about because I am assuming they're smart enough 653 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 2: to borrow some money for expansion. That's a good sign. 654 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 2: I look at central government, but they're not even running 655 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: a surplus on an annual basis, so I worry more 656 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 2: about that. Then I look at local government debt up 657 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 2: fifteen percent, and all I'm doing is seeing my rates 658 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 2: bill go up. So are there sort of different sorts 659 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 2: and levels of debt? 660 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 22: Absolutely, whether a household affirm or a government. When if 661 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 22: you borrow money, then whether that's a good idea depends 662 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 22: very much on what you're spending it on. So taking 663 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 22: government for example, if you're buying infrastructure, it will make 664 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 22: your country more productive in the future. Great, If you're 665 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 22: fluttering away, not great. And the same goes for household concerns. 666 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 22: The trouble is, of course, with that massive and trees 667 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 22: and government that we don't necessarily have a lot to 668 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 22: show for it. Unfortunately. 669 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 2: The student loan, which is at eleven point nine billion, 670 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: I also think is that going to get paid back? 671 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 2: I mean, that's on the books as a debt that 672 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 2: will be paid back, but in I mean will it 673 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 2: good question? 674 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 22: Yeah, I think there's obviously question marks around that. The 675 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 22: decision to make the first year of study fees free 676 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 22: perhaps up the ante a little bit on that score. 677 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 22: You had people who were sort of untested in the 678 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 22: university and environment. Obviously we've had a lot of young 679 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 22: people gone overseas as well. So yeah, we'll wait and see. 680 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 22: But I think it's fair to say that it's probably 681 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 22: got a higher fault rate than the house. Indeed, I 682 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 22: don't imagine put it that way exactly. 683 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: Just while I've got you RB this week twenty five, that's. 684 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 22: A lock, looking like it As as much of a 685 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 22: lock as these things get. They gave a very strong 686 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 22: signal to that extent, and everyone's expecting it, so it 687 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 22: certainly would be a big shock if they didn't deliver. 688 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 22: Big question, as always is what comes next, So a 689 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 22: big focus on the forecast and. 690 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: The words they use exactly good to see Sharon's on 691 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 2: Ain's and chief Economists ten minutes past seven, Pascal and 692 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,239 Speaker 2: the best figure really, as far as I can work 693 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: out on these debt numbers, agricultural that at sixty two 694 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 2: billion is down one percent. So when you're making the 695 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: sort of money the average farms making at the moment, 696 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 2: you're certainly not borrowing. Speaking of money though, the battle 697 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 2: of the dueling numbers and the food space, So Stats 698 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 2: New Zealand you would be well aware on Friday came 699 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 2: out with a food price index up five percent and 700 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 2: you go, oh my god, five percent, but food stuff 701 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: go wait a minute, it's actually three point four. So 702 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 2: what's going on here? Chris Quinn, food Stuff's North Ireland 703 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 2: man is with us morning, Good morning, Mike. So what's 704 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 2: the magic here? Does Stats say five, you say three 705 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,959 Speaker 2: point four? You're not including restaurants and takeaways? Is that right? 706 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 23: It's not including restaurants and takeaways and Obviously there is 707 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 23: only food stuff's stores, so we've been hard to try 708 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 23: and limit the impact of these increases. It's mainly across dairy, 709 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 23: beef and land, which are our exported products that are 710 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 23: doing very very well on global markets, and obviously what 711 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 23: we're trying to do is somewhat ameliorate the effect on 712 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 23: our New Zealand consumers. 713 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 2: You saw that, we would have seen the headlines again, 714 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's five percent. Does that frustrate you? 715 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 2: Given if you break it down in a moderately sensible 716 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 2: sort of way, it's not the end of the world. 717 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 23: Look, there's no doubt this has an impact on New 718 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 23: Zealand household So, you know, a five percent increase year 719 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 23: on year. We have had a much better period. We've 720 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 23: been down on the twos and threes and those sort 721 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 23: of numbers, But for households this will be felt alongside 722 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 23: every other household cost. The key is it's the middle 723 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 23: of winter we are, you know, we have export pressure 724 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 23: on some products. So what we're trying to help our 725 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 23: customers with is understand where you can find value now 726 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 23: in this time a winter, where to go shopping and 727 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 23: what products to look for, so that household budgets can 728 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 23: be somewhat supported. 729 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,399 Speaker 2: How much up against it are you in the sense 730 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: everyone going ah, yeah, of course they'd say that this 731 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 2: is a super mart. We hate supermarkets. That's your problem, 732 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 2: isn't it. It's image? 733 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 23: Look, it's you know, there are a number of people 734 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 23: who have that story. That's probably why we share this information. 735 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 23: We're just trying to say, can we just look at 736 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 23: the facts, and most importantly, instead of all of the rhetoric, 737 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 23: let's focus on where New Zealanders right now can get 738 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 23: the best value, which is in frozen chickens, leg gross 739 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 23: hokey philets, you know, and some of the winter vegetables 740 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 23: that you would expect on this time of year. 741 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 2: If your number three point four, so it's still above inflation. 742 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 2: But if you strip out the stuff that we know about, 743 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,959 Speaker 2: the butter and the dairy and you know, the beef 744 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 2: and stuff, what does it come down to? Do you 745 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 2: know it must be below inflation, mustn't it. 746 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 23: Look we don't have a number calculated with all that 747 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 23: stripped out, but there's no doubt beef, lamb and butter 748 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 23: we're all up over thirty percent. Yeah, and you know 749 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 23: that's where the real impact is. 750 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 2: The difficulty I suppose that. I mean, the advantage is 751 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 2: you can shop around this, can't you? As I think 752 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 2: we've probably talked about before. You don't have to buy 753 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 2: butter or beef or lamb. You can buy other stuff 754 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 2: that makes life cheaper. 755 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 23: No, And you know, if you look at right now, 756 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 23: it's potatoes and capsicans, it's cougettes and onions, mandarins. Those 757 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 23: sort of things are the things where value sits at 758 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 23: this time a year. And probably the complexity right now 759 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 23: is you're not only dealing with seasons, You're dealing with 760 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 23: what's going on globally with the pressure on some of 761 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 23: those fantastic New Zealand export products. But just reflects a 762 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 23: reality back into New Zealand consumers. 763 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 2: Do you reckon? People know that deep down, or they 764 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 2: don't know it, they know it but don't want to 765 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 2: accept it, or they just don't know it at all. 766 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 2: That's genuinely a surprise to them. 767 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 23: Still, look, I think people would prefer not to have 768 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,479 Speaker 23: to work hard to try and make the budget come together. 769 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 23: But you know, when the pressure is coming from all 770 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 23: of the utilities bills and all of the other things 771 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 23: that people are facing, and food as well. 772 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 3: This does you know? 773 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 23: Our job is to try and help our customers as 774 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 23: much as possible, to make sure they understand where the 775 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 23: value is and try and guide them through this as 776 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 23: best we can. 777 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 2: Chris appreciated Chris Quinn out of food stuffs this morning. 778 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 2: By the way, I can tell you that non alcoholic 779 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,240 Speaker 2: beverages that's coke four point four percent. Ups are stopped 780 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 2: buying its cigarettes four point eight percent, So give up. 781 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 2: Petrols down, diesels down, diesels down seven point two domestic 782 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 2: I FISA down. So not everything's gone up, which is good. 783 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 2: I suppose fourteen past. 784 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: The Mike asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 785 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: by News Talks, it'd be. 786 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 2: Were you happy with the cancelation feed the break feed 787 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 2: for the fairies that came out Friday? Of course I 788 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 2: suspect I know why it came out Friday, but we'll 789 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 2: ask the Prime Minister about that, surely. When he joined 790 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 2: the seventeen past seven, the Rugby Championship perhaps turned out 791 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: to be a bit of a talking point, more than 792 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,480 Speaker 2: we might have imagined. The All Blacks won easily, of course, 793 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 2: but the Australians, how about the Australians. John Hart's with us. John, 794 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 2: very good morning to you morning Mike. Now, as far 795 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 2: as the All Blacks were concerned, just as like I 796 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 2: watch as a patriot, I'm not an expert like you. 797 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 2: I saw it side that was winning, was always going 798 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 2: to win in the end, won by quite a lot, 799 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 2: am I. That's good enough, isn't it. 800 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 16: Yeah? 801 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 12: I look, I'd look back in the game and say, 802 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 12: look things, there's things that they can improve on, but 803 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 12: overall a good win. But second half had its concerns, 804 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 12: lack of discipline had its concerns. You wouldn't want to 805 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 12: be doing that against South Africa. So some learnings, but 806 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 12: you know, a good step forward and now they've got 807 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 12: another game next. 808 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 2: Weekend exactly any reason to believe it won't be roughly 809 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 2: the same next weekend? 810 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 12: Well, I think if I was Scott Robertson, I'd be 811 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 12: looking three weeks ahead to the Test against South Africa. 812 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 12: So I think this weekend is an opportunity for him 813 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 12: to put his team out that is as close injuries aside, 814 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,439 Speaker 12: as close as possible to the team that he wants 815 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 12: to play against South Africa Eden Park and so I 816 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 12: think you will see players like Tammedy Williams and Walla 817 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,319 Speaker 12: was the TD come back in either on the bench 818 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 12: or in the team, but you know, not many changes otherwise. 819 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 12: I think he's getting pretty close and settled to where 820 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 12: he wants to be. 821 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 2: And as regards the Australians, where do you reckon? Joe 822 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 2: Schmidt puts that on a CB. 823 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 3: Well, I did you know. 824 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 12: We exchange a lot of texts and I did say 825 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 12: that would have to rank pretty highly. And I think, 826 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 12: you know, it's a wonderful performance. I mean, Joe Smitt 827 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 12: is world class coach. But to do what he's done 828 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 12: with Australia to turn them around from where they were 829 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 12: last year to what they did against the lines and 830 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 12: that victory, that's one for the that's one for the 831 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 12: record book. 832 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 16: That was fantastic. 833 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 2: What did it tell us is Australia Beta we all fought? 834 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 2: Or did South Africa have a bad day? 835 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 12: A combination? 836 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 3: Mike. 837 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 12: I think Australia on the improve. I think he hasn't 838 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 12: got deaths, he hasn't got a lot of bench talent 839 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,879 Speaker 12: or beyond that. But a starting team now is very 840 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 12: very competitive, so I think that. But I think South 841 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 12: Africa took them easy. I think South Africa thought they 842 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 12: were going to win and twenty two nil up you 843 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 12: probably thought you you're away laughing, and they lacked the 844 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 12: discipline that they normally have. Next week very different, i'd say, 845 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 12: a very different performance from South Africa and that will 846 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 12: be a real test producement. 847 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 2: So this whole all Blacks were away to South Africa thing, 848 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 2: is the away things still a thing as big as 849 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 2: it ever was or not? 850 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 12: Yeah, Look, it's not easy to win away and I 851 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 12: think you know that's that's I mean sixty three I 852 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 12: think they're saying was the last time that Australia won 853 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,959 Speaker 12: and Johannesburg. It's not easy to win away and even 854 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 12: in you know, don't underestimate how difficult it as an Argentina. 855 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 2: So next week go on A's area is another big game. 856 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 12: But you know, I think the All Backs are tracking 857 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,439 Speaker 12: really well and you know, I think the big test 858 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 12: of the year is at Eden Park in three weeks time. 859 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 2: Super exciting. Good on your John, nice to catch up 860 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,800 Speaker 2: John Hart, former All Backs coach. Of course. It is 861 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 2: seven twenty. 862 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, powered 863 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 1: by News Talks eppy. 864 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 2: Now, many of us take supplements daily to support the health. 865 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 2: Of course, key ingredients like your fish oil, your vitamin D, 866 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 2: youre magnesium, they're right at the top of the this. 867 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 2: We love that stuff because it's good for us.

So it is all good. Always read the table, 886 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 2: read the label to take only as directed, but eight 887 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 2: hundred triple nine three oh nine er number or online 888 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 2: at about health dot co dot enz asking sevent twenty four, 889 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 2: you may have read a report commission by Radio New 890 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 2: Zealand Radio New Zealand to look into why their operations 891 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 2: become such a dumpster fire. So it said a bunch 892 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 2: of stuff that was obvious, I thought, anyway, one thing 893 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 2: that surprised and saddened me. Though most people within that organization, 894 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 2: Radio was dying, audiences were bailing. This is not true. 895 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 2: This is not true. In fact, it's the opposite. Radio 896 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 2: is robust and comparatively speaking, thriving. So my question is, 897 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 2: how is it you can have a company of people 898 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 2: who don't understand their own industry. Where did they get 899 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 2: their view from? Why has no one corrected the view? 900 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,800 Speaker 2: Where's management in this process? Their audience has shrunk, but 901 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 2: it hasn't vanished. This is the key to all of 902 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 2: this has gone well, it's mainly come here actually, to 903 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 2: be honest, the customer is still spending if you like, 904 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 2: they've just changed shops. The fact they don't know that, 905 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,479 Speaker 2: I would have thought should have set off alarm bells 906 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 2: a long time ago, most ironically, because the place is 907 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,800 Speaker 2: full of journalists who once upon a time had inquiring minds. 908 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 2: They asked questions, They wanted to know things. If you 909 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 2: have such a mind, you would have quickly discovered what 910 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 2: was actually happening, what the reality of your medium was. 911 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 2: How can you be a journalist and be that bewildered? 912 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 2: And if you are that bewildered on your own doorstep, 913 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 2: will toda are you about the rest of life and 914 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 2: the rest of the world. Also of concern was management's 915 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 2: response to the report. The report, by the way, basically 916 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 2: says the place is shot, it needs to bomb and 917 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 2: some genuine talent. The response suggests what Radio and New 918 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 2: Zealand management do is well. What they do quite well 919 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 2: is commission reports and ignore them. So the exercise as 920 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 2: a whole appears a bit of a waste of time. 921 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 2: They got told some obvious stuff they should have known, 922 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,880 Speaker 2: an alarming thing about their staff that they should have 923 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 2: also known. But now they do know they need to 924 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 2: fix it. And as for the report, itself. All the 925 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 2: rest of it seems a little bit tricky for them 926 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 2: for me. I mean, look, they can do whatever they like. 927 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 2: I don't care. But what I care about is that 928 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 2: this industry is actually successful. Some of us are actually 929 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 2: having the time of our lives. Some of us know 930 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 2: what's going on and understand proceeding. Some of us still 931 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,879 Speaker 2: ask a few questions. The future is bright and it's 932 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 2: there for anyone who wants it. But to want it, 933 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 2: you've got to be keen and you've got to be awake. 934 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,799 Speaker 2: And that might be their biggest problem of all. Pasking Mike. 935 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 2: At least with the groceries, you can go to alternatives, 936 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 2: unlike rates, insurance, powers say. It's a very good point. 937 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 2: It's what I'm trying and talk about time. Everyone gets 938 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 2: excited about the price of food. No one likes paying 939 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 2: more for food than they have to. No one likes 940 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: expensive stuff. I get that, But you can shop your 941 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 2: way around it. You can't shop your way around insurance, 942 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 2: and you can't shop your way around rates. Mike, we 943 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 2: get angry at five percent on food. My elderly parents 944 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 2: Libanori were twenty nine percent on rates. It's outrageous. Yes, 945 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 2: it is outrageous. Mike. I do enjoy your program, but 946 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 2: you continue to speak faster and faster, your guests follow 947 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,879 Speaker 2: your lead, and it becomes harder to understand. Please consider this, Katie. Unfortunately, 948 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 2: I'm sorry to tell you you're wrong. I'm not speaking 949 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 2: faster and faster because as I age, I'm getting slower 950 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 2: and slower, and basically I'm wearing myself out. 951 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,719 Speaker 8: Is it possible that they're listening slows. 952 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 2: They're listening slides exactly what it is. So don't Katie 953 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 2: with your listening slower syndrome, come to me with your problem. 954 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 8: Try turning yourself off and back on again. 955 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, reboot yourself so the fairies will deal with 956 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 2: There was a Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court decision 957 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 2: says the river beds this is all to do with 958 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 2: the fortunancy. But the river beds are part of the 959 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 2: equation now as well. But this juxtaposes with the government, 960 00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,240 Speaker 2: who are going ahead with the Does this mean anything? 961 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 2: Are we just going to spend the rest of our 962 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,280 Speaker 2: lives in court and legal aiden lawyers and stuff like that. Anyway? 963 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 2: The Prime Minister christ of luckson in the studio after 964 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,879 Speaker 2: the news next you're a News Talks edy. 965 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: New Zealand's voice of reason is Mike the Mic asking 966 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: breakfast with Vida, Retirement, Communities, Life, Your Way News Talks 967 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: head been. 968 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 2: Twenty three minutes away from Andrew Self, Jason Prime and 969 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 2: the compentry box afterway the clock meantime for this Monday 970 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 2: morning to Prime Ministers with Uspring.

Those minister's former minister's 976 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 20: premises should show up at that inquiry. I think you 977 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 20: know what you saw last week with the Treasury report 978 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 20: saying you know we were the second large, just stim 979 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 20: military country on Earth. It created and made the cost 980 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 20: living worse, and it certainly affected our future fiscal track. 981 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 20: I think New Zealanders have done a huge amount of 982 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 20: pain and suffering because of the actions of the previous government. 983 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,919 Speaker 20: But I'll be honest with you, I get what they're 984 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 20: trying to do. You know, if you're hipkins, you're trying 985 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 20: to politically guess like the country and say you had 986 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 20: nothing to do with that record. Well you did, so 987 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 20: I think they should show but frankly, ultimately it's their 988 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 20: call and I've got to now fix it. So that's 989 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 20: what I'm focused on. 990 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 2: Grant Robinson says, it's a show trial, is it? I disagree. 991 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,359 Speaker 20: I think it's something called accountability, And I think showing 992 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,879 Speaker 20: up and actually giving the justification for way you took 993 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 20: the actions you did that ultimately I think made the 994 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 20: cost of living worse. Actually I think caused huge suffering 995 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 20: for low and middle income New Zealanders in particular. Actually 996 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 20: they need to be called to account on that. But 997 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 20: ultimately their call. 998 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,919 Speaker 2: Who is the bigger hypocrite Doune and Robertson because they're 999 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,919 Speaker 2: no longer accountable, or Hopkins and Verril, who are. 1000 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 20: Well, I think you know, Hipkins are Veral making a 1001 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 20: case they want to leave the country again, and I 1002 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,800 Speaker 20: think it'll be a disaster, But I think they should 1003 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 20: at least show up and actually front. But again, you 1004 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 20: know their decision, and I just say, you know, I 1005 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 20: get what they're trying to do. Politically. If you're Chris Sipkins, 1006 00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:05,839 Speaker 20: you want to get out from under the rock, which 1007 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 20: is your last record when you're in government, where the 1008 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,200 Speaker 20: economy got worse, you know, Lauren Order got worse, health 1009 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 20: and education got worse. 1010 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 3: I get it. 1011 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 20: He wants to gas light and just move on from 1012 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 20: that pass. But I think you should front. 1013 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 2: Do you know what they're paying Dentons or what the 1014 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,879 Speaker 2: taxpayer is paying Dentons in terms of legal representation? 1015 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:22,479 Speaker 16: No idea. 1016 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 2: Will that come up at some point somewhere? Where does 1017 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 2: that money come from? Is that in the leader of 1018 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 2: the old comes out of budget. 1019 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 20: I think there's a long standing convention that if governments 1020 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 20: are former ministers from previous governments sort of, I have 1021 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 20: to go forward on any you know, and incur any 1022 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 20: legal costs for any claims like this, it's picked up 1023 00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,840 Speaker 20: by the taxpayer. So that's that's quite normal convention. 1024 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 2: Okay, speaking money for the taxpayer. The break fee on 1025 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:48,280 Speaker 2: the intro islander, is that negotiable or will it change 1026 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 2: in any way if the company concerned happens to end 1027 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 2: up with the tender. 1028 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 15: No. 1029 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 20: I think this is a final net what we owe 1030 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 20: them irrespective of what comes next. It's a lot chiev 1031 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 20: It's one hundred and forty five mints million. 1032 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:00,520 Speaker 3: Dollars. 1033 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 20: It's a lot cheaper than what people were saying at 1034 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 20: three hundred million dollars. I think Winston's saying a really 1035 00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 20: good job to negotiate a way out of that. It 1036 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,319 Speaker 20: sounds a bit counterintuitive to everybody because you basically had 1037 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 20: this i REX project that was seven hundred and seventy 1038 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 20: five million, blew out to three point two on its 1039 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 20: way to four. We had to deal with it in 1040 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 20: the second or third week of a new government and 1041 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,880 Speaker 20: get it right sized. Yes, there's some brake fees and 1042 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,800 Speaker 20: some sunk costs that you got to swallow and deal with, 1043 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 20: but the total total investment we're going to make is 1044 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 20: going to be a hell of a lot less than 1045 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 20: three point two milch. 1046 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 2: So you're going to end up with So if you 1047 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 2: total it at four billion and so with the brake fees, 1048 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 2: in fact that the total fees with the infrastructure stuff 1049 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 2: came to something like half a billion already. So between 1050 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 2: that half a billion dollars plus whatever you buy, yeah, significantly. 1051 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 20: To correct, correct, and we will get a great solution 1052 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 20: for the cook straight, very pragmatic, very practical, very for purpose. 1053 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 20: We'll get the infrastructure at both ends sorted and actually 1054 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 20: Winstance doing a great job. I think it's just cleaning 1055 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 20: that up and getting that sorted. 1056 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 2: So Nicola Willis is in the UK. Was in the 1057 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 2: UK she's talking to Bloomberg. Is you're telling Bloomberg more 1058 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 2: about Winston and his movement on foreign buyers buying houses 1059 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 2: than we've been told here in New Zealand. 1060 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 20: I know you have afflicted me every week on that one, 1061 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 20: and but we are weeks away from that one, and 1062 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:11,840 Speaker 20: so I'll have more to say about that. 1063 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 2: When you say we're weeks away. What do you mean 1064 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 2: by that it goes She said it's going to cabinet 1065 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,719 Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks. Does she mean it's 1066 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 2: going to cabinet in the next couple of weeks because 1067 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 2: we've got a deal, we'll put it in cabinet, they'll 1068 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 2: take it off and then we'll make the announcement. 1069 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:24,879 Speaker 15: Yes. 1070 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 2: Correct, So the deal as of this morning is essentially done. 1071 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 20: Yeah, there were there were, Yeah, process working its way 1072 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,719 Speaker 20: through cabinet because there's actually regulation, legislation involved and overturning it. 1073 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 20: So you've actually got to a think through the policy, 1074 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 20: get the thinking straight, and then you've actually got to 1075 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 20: take it to cabinet and then obviously then draft a 1076 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 20: piece of legislation. 1077 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 2: Then you know when will it be done As in legislation, 1078 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,399 Speaker 2: cabinet go as fast as. 1079 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 20: We possibly can. I think it'll be one of those 1080 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 20: things you'd want to do under under urgency and go 1081 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 20: through it. 1082 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, Okay, So as you sit here talking to 1083 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 2: me this morning, there is actually an agreement between you 1084 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:57,400 Speaker 2: and Peter's. 1085 00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 20: Yeah, we've got we've got a proposal which we take 1086 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 20: to cabinet of see a final decisions major and that's 1087 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 20: where it's you're taking it to cabinet today, Well, well, 1088 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,399 Speaker 20: we're taking we're taking in the next few weeks. 1089 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 2: I would have thought it was way more more urgent 1090 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:12,920 Speaker 2: than that. Well, there's a lot that goes through cabinet. 1091 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 20: There's a lot of things for us to discuss, but 1092 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 20: we've got we've got the we've got a paper which 1093 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 20: we'll then go forward from here. We then make the 1094 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 20: final decision in cabinet. 1095 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 2: The electricity Authority last week and out some sort of 1096 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 2: investigation into the industry and pricing and stuff like that. 1097 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 2: It is claimed in part anyway, a bunch of users 1098 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,800 Speaker 2: wrote to you and said we're sick and tired of 1099 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,239 Speaker 2: just have a look at it. Is that what drove it? 1100 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 20: Well, I think there's everyone's frustrated with electricity, right, I 1101 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 20: mean correct. What we're seeing is it's a big contributor 1102 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 20: to the cost of living and inflation. 1103 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 2: Particularly. 1104 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 20: It's actually the transmission part of it that's led to 1105 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 20: the increase in electricity. You know, everyone's got a letter 1106 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,160 Speaker 20: from their gen Taylor that sort of says prices are 1107 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 20: going up. That's really the piece that's been the expensive part, 1108 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 20: the transmission piece. Look, what we've what we've had to 1109 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 20: do here is there's quite a few air venues to 1110 00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 20: what's happening in our energy market at the moment. I 1111 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 20: mean the first thing was this oil and gas band reversal, 1112 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 20: which we did two weeks ago, has been good. We've 1113 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 20: got two hundred million dollars set aside so we can 1114 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,839 Speaker 20: get gas, which actually is necessary for us. We've also 1115 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 20: put a strategic coal reserve together so that actually, you know, 1116 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,760 Speaker 20: if it's going to be driver or scare, we've actually 1117 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 20: don't have our prices going through the roof. All of 1118 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 20: that's just starting to calm it down a lot than 1119 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 20: what it has been, and that actually projects forward pricing 1120 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,360 Speaker 20: quite well that people know that. 1121 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 2: The reason I asked the question is where were they 1122 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 2: last year? If the people write to you and they 1123 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 2: suddenly go, hell, we better be seen to be doing something. 1124 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 2: Where were they last year when it was really bad? Well, 1125 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 2: last year was really bad. I mean, well, what do 1126 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:36,920 Speaker 2: they do on the I don't know. 1127 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 20: I mean the wholesale electricity prices last year getting up 1128 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 20: to I think even up to fifteen hundred dollars fifteen times. 1129 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't one that the electricity authority go jeez, I 1130 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 2: wonder if we might want to look at this. 1131 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 20: We'd have to ask them. All I can do is 1132 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 20: I know that there's several components to the energy market 1133 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 20: that I have to get fixed. One is I have 1134 00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,880 Speaker 20: to have certainty of supply, so we can't have an 1135 00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,480 Speaker 20: issue where the lights get turned off like we were 1136 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 20: experiencing last year and people start losing their jobs. That's 1137 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,319 Speaker 20: about having a coal reserve. People don't like that. People 1138 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 20: give me a lot of grief about that. But I'm sorry, 1139 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 20: but actually low prices are much more important than sort 1140 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 20: of managing emissions at this point in time. 1141 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 2: That is true. Having said all of that, water done well, 1142 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 2: this is my next concern ongoing. So there are a 1143 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,800 Speaker 2: number of councils in the country who have been written 1144 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 2: to by the Internal Affairs Department that the smaller councils 1145 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 2: they've decided to go it alone. The Internal Affairs have 1146 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 2: written and gone that doesn't look good enough to us. Yep, 1147 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 2: what if they go it alone and it all goes 1148 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:30,719 Speaker 2: tits up? 1149 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,959 Speaker 20: Well again, you know, their plans have to get signed 1150 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 20: off by the Minister. That was part of the deal 1151 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:36,400 Speaker 20: with the legislation, so they've got to the first of 1152 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,399 Speaker 20: September to get their proposals together. There are some really 1153 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 20: good examples where councils are collaborating really well and actually 1154 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 20: putting together proper management of those assets. I think it's interesting, 1155 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 20: Like the best example was actually all Clantier. I remember 1156 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 20: when Wayne Brown was proposing a twenty four percent rate rise, 1157 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,280 Speaker 20: and then we put water Care into a different asset 1158 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 20: structure and it's not sexy stuff, but a different entity 1159 00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 20: and as a result, it could borrow better for long 1160 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 20: run ass sets. And the actually rates went up six 1161 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 20: percent or six or seven percent or so last year, 1162 00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,360 Speaker 20: and that freed up eight hundred million dollars from the 1163 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 20: council's budget to spend on other infrastructure rather than worry 1164 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:09,720 Speaker 20: about three waters. 1165 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 2: So that structure is the right way to go. My 1166 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 2: concern is though, that so internal revenue, internal affairs right 1167 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 2: to them. So we don't like the look of it. 1168 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 2: The minister will want go because of that. 1169 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 20: You're not allowed to be Key has powers to make 1170 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 20: interventions to make sure that they are going to run 1171 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,719 Speaker 20: those assets and manage them properly and that financially they'll 1172 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 20: be able to manage that. And if he's not assured 1173 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:30,719 Speaker 20: on both those points. 1174 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 5: So what they do. 1175 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 2: What will the council who wants to go at alone 1176 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,840 Speaker 2: do when the minister goes, you can't do that. Does 1177 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,399 Speaker 2: the minister then go you need to buddy up with councils, right, 1178 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,839 Speaker 2: so correct, so they tell you what to do. Yes, 1179 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 2: So really it's Hobson's choice, isn't it. Well, there's no choice, 1180 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:47,719 Speaker 2: you know, you do. 1181 00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 20: We want these assets managed properly. That's their problem. They 1182 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 20: haven't been run properly. I mean you've got perverse situations 1183 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 20: where got counsel's increasing rates for what's called operating expenditure 1184 00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 20: to pay out on capital expenditure, which is building out 1185 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 20: pipes and stuff like that. So we're just saying, look, 1186 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,360 Speaker 20: we've got to professionally manage these assets. I think the 1187 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 20: vast majority of councils are getting there. There's been some 1188 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,359 Speaker 20: really good examples, and it's difficult because district councils are 1189 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,880 Speaker 20: having to actually collaborate on this stuff. They're having to 1190 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,359 Speaker 20: collaborate on regional and city deals. That's all a good 1191 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,839 Speaker 20: thing because there's a lot of duplication. As you can 1192 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 20: see today, we're going to announce the Building Code Authorities 1193 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 20: which are there's a gazillion of them. Actually they can 1194 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 20: merge those together as well, so the more experience they 1195 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 20: yet actually working together as subregions of New Zealand and 1196 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,239 Speaker 20: doing it from the grassroots up on three Waters, on 1197 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,320 Speaker 20: regional plans, on building bcas is actually good stuff. 1198 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 2: You mentioned Wayne Brown who bid tax he goes doesn't 1199 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 2: even cost you anything. Do you give them a bed 1200 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 2: tax or do you worry about the broader picture in 1201 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,040 Speaker 2: this country that the more expensive you make it to 1202 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,560 Speaker 2: come to New Zealand or the country already worried. 1203 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 20: About just adding a new tax. Now is not the 1204 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 20: time for a tax. We have to get the show 1205 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 20: growing and growth is really where we've got to focus on. Yes, 1206 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,880 Speaker 20: we've got a bed tax is actually quite an interesting idea. 1207 00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 20: It's not something I'm going to look at this term. 1208 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,600 Speaker 20: It's not something we ca considering at all. But for 1209 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,520 Speaker 20: where we are in the cycle, where people are doing 1210 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 20: it tough, another tax ain't the way forward. 1211 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 2: The Supreme Court and the river bed decision last week 1212 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,200 Speaker 2: does that in any way, shape or form change what 1213 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:12,320 Speaker 2: you're doing around foreshore? 1214 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,440 Speaker 20: And see, I saw that legislation come that ruling come through. 1215 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 20: I think on Thursday or Friday Friday. I will take 1216 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 20: a bit of time to digest that and understand that. 1217 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 20: As you know, on the Macha side, we've decided, after 1218 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 20: digesting the last Supreme Court ruling on the seat on 1219 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 20: the coastal areas, for us to go back into Parliament 1220 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 20: and actually passed the law to make it back to 1221 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 20: what its original intent was, which was the balance customer 1222 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,360 Speaker 20: right and also the rights of all newslanders. 1223 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 2: Has Amanda knowing you in your entire married life to 1224 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 2: be as bad at dancing as. 1225 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,320 Speaker 20: You were, Mate, I've got rhythm. I went to the 1226 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 20: pepper Nui Arisa when it was school ball season in 1227 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 20: Langdon's Road christ Church and that lady at the instructing 1228 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 20: US told me that I had rhythm and I believe. 1229 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 2: That ever since you sat with the straight foot. Yeah 1230 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:52,360 Speaker 2: she did. 1231 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 20: I think she generally thought I haven't seen so much 1232 00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,799 Speaker 20: rhythm in one individual for so long. 1233 00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,080 Speaker 2: Nice to see. I'm Christ of LUX thirteen. 1234 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,440 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1235 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 1: by News Talks at. 1236 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,560 Speaker 2: Me, Mike. Every time I hear the Prime Minister interviewed, 1237 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 2: it reaffirms how much better informed and across the subjects 1238 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 2: he is compared to when Hopkins was PM and obfuscating 1239 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,319 Speaker 2: his way through every interview and listening to him last week, 1240 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 2: nothing much has changed. Mikey nail that Hipkins wants to 1241 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,839 Speaker 2: get out from under a rock. The interesting thing about 1242 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 2: that is, and this is why I sort of mention 1243 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,320 Speaker 2: it periodically. The interesting thing about that is there's a 1244 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,680 Speaker 2: game going on at the moment, and the Poles would 1245 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 2: indicate from the labour point of view, it's actually working. 1246 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,759 Speaker 2: And that is pretend it was nothing to do with me, 1247 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 2: and that it's everything to do with the current government 1248 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 2: and whatever you see in the economy as their fault 1249 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,360 Speaker 2: and not mine and tell me I'm wrong, given what 1250 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,280 Speaker 2: the Poles are saying at the moment. Boris Johnson, writing 1251 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,839 Speaker 2: about the meeting over the weekend was Zelensky and co. Well, 1252 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 2: that was just about the most vomit inducing episode and 1253 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 2: all the tawdry history of international diplomacy. It was emetic 1254 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 2: to see him applauded on the red carpet. It was 1255 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 2: nauseating to watch his gola like smirk as he became 1256 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 2: one of the only world leaders I can think of 1257 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 2: to be invited to ride in the back of the 1258 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,319 Speaker 2: presidential limo. It was positively chonderous to hear to hear 1259 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,759 Speaker 2: him given an American platform for his lies about the 1260 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,840 Speaker 2: causes of the war in Ukraine. As I listened to 1261 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 2: the unctious and wearisome predictability with which he tried both 1262 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,960 Speaker 2: to flatter and discreetly humiliate Donald Trump, I wanted to 1263 00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 2: gag A bet you did too, And most of us 1264 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 2: are not even Ukrainian. He's very good with the words, 1265 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 2: isn't he nine Away. 1266 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,919 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking breakfast with al Vida, Retirement Communities News 1267 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 1: Togstead been We'll get. 1268 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 2: To actually, I'll do it now, What the hell I 1269 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 2: was going to do something else, but I'll do so. 1270 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 2: The spending in major cities, this is eating up, This 1271 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 2: is hospo. Year on year July twenty four to July 1272 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 2: twenty five, increases all over the place, cafes, restaurants, caving 1273 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 2: fast food during the whole thing largest annual increases. Hamilton's 1274 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 2: up nine point six two percent. I mean, you know, 1275 00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 2: cost of living cristis, no one's out, no one can 1276 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 2: afford anything wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. Hamilton up 1277 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 2: nine point six two percent. Queenstown up eight point five 1278 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 2: to three. If anyone was supposed to be booming, its 1279 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,320 Speaker 2: Queenstown up eight point five three percent. But Hamilton beats 1280 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 2: some christ you ch up over seven percent. Wellington, even 1281 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:15,200 Speaker 2: Wellington up over five percent, Towering is up virtually six percent. 1282 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 2: Donners is up five and a half. Even Auckland, the 1283 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:22,280 Speaker 2: beleagued old downtown Auckland downtown, there's nobody there. Shoot a 1284 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,040 Speaker 2: bullet and you hit nobody. Auckland is up three point 1285 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,840 Speaker 2: eight two percent. And of course, given the size of 1286 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,400 Speaker 2: the market, three point eight two percent of one and 1287 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 2: a half million people's a lot of dollars. Very strong 1288 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 2: signal that key weis are once again opening the walls. 1289 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 2: Now here's the weird thing about that. Anecdotally, and this 1290 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,680 Speaker 2: is the way I always worry about anecdotes, is anecdotally, 1291 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,120 Speaker 2: I would have said that, I mean every time I 1292 00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 2: go out, which admittedly isn't that often, but certainly on 1293 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 2: the weekends, and you go to the markets, you go 1294 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,160 Speaker 2: to the cafes, you go to the restaurants. Getting a 1295 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,840 Speaker 2: table is and has been hard yards for a very 1296 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 2: long period of time. And so you're festooned with this 1297 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 2: idea that everyone's miserable and the economy shot and nobody's 1298 00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,200 Speaker 2: doing anything. But you look at the statistics of travel. 1299 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,440 Speaker 2: The statistics on travel are indisputable, undeniable. I mean, we're 1300 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,439 Speaker 2: on a plane every second day. We cannot get around 1301 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 2: the world fast enough, and it costs a fortune, but 1302 00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 2: we're seemingly we've got the money and the inclination to 1303 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 2: do it. And the other thing you do notice is 1304 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 2: people are out and about and they're eating, and they're drinking. 1305 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,840 Speaker 2: They're seemingly having a good time. And at long last, 1306 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 2: and this the next time the hospitality people put out 1307 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 2: another one of their press release is saying how miserable 1308 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 2: everything is, and they can't find anybody to work and 1309 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,440 Speaker 2: it's just all do it. It's bollocks. I mean, numbers 1310 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 2: don't lie, don't they. I mean those are major, major 1311 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 2: increases in expenditure. It's good to see.

And I thoroughly enjoyed 1344 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 2: the game, had a bit of razzle dazzle about it, 1345 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 2: and you know, there weren't a lot of worries the 1346 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 2: Warriors were talking about, and it had a bit of 1347 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,520 Speaker 2: razzle dazzle about it. The couple of good looking, exciting 1348 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 2: kind of tries and we won. So I mean all 1349 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,960 Speaker 2: and all, I'm happy. Am I easily pleased? Or is 1350 01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:31,160 Speaker 2: he right? And it was miserable? 1351 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,640 Speaker 15: No? No, no, I think I think you're right. They 1352 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 15: had a bit of drama involved at this time of year, Mike, 1353 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,040 Speaker 15: and give them the pressure the Warriors have been under 1354 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 15: a wins a win right, and they were behind in 1355 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 15: the scoreboard for a lot of the game, scored some 1356 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:49,360 Speaker 15: good tries type finish in the end, and then the 1357 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,880 Speaker 15: atmosphere at that venue looks superb for the Warriors games 1358 01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,919 Speaker 15: and the crowd chanting the winning tune afterwards. It's yeah, 1359 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 15: it's all good to sight to behold. Really so no, 1360 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,400 Speaker 15: I think, you know, and at this time of year, 1361 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,080 Speaker 15: with a few regular season games to go, that they 1362 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 15: become almost knockout games for a lot of teams, including 1363 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,040 Speaker 15: the Warriors. You know, if they keep winning, they'll they'll 1364 01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 15: finish in the top four. And given the situation they're 1365 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:16,680 Speaker 15: in with all those injuries and one or two players 1366 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,760 Speaker 15: possibly about to be suspended, that's a good win. 1367 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 2: I reckon. I also see Jason. I also enjoyed the 1368 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,920 Speaker 2: All Blacks. I mean, I know, all you guys go 1369 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 2: around going, oh, and he didn't move that way and 1370 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 2: he dies, just like we won. We won, well, we 1371 01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 2: were never going to lose. It's just like, you know, 1372 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:33,360 Speaker 2: just enjoy it. Why can't we just enjoy it? 1373 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,440 Speaker 7: I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. 1374 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 21: You're right, there's you know, there's a there's a certain 1375 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:43,720 Speaker 21: degree of cover analysis, over analysis. Certainly a lot of 1376 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 21: over analysis on my show yesterday talking about the first 1377 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 21: twenty minutes of the second half, and I think that's 1378 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,840 Speaker 21: where you land and we're looking for what improvements. 1379 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 7: But by that stage I thought the first half was great. 1380 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,440 Speaker 7: Thirty one ten up. 1381 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,640 Speaker 15: I thought, if we do with the all blacks, isn't 1382 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 15: it we analyze it, you know, over and sometimes sometimes 1383 01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 15: they're on a hiding to nothing. Look, look the problem 1384 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 15: I think they're facing at the moment. It's a bit 1385 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 15: like whack a mole. They seem to be improving each 1386 01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 15: from game to a game in certain areas, but then 1387 01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 15: going backwards and others. I thought it was a great 1388 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 15: start in a great finish, but the middle patches when 1389 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 15: the bench came on initially because in the end of 1390 01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 15: bench won them the game, really, but initially they lost 1391 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 15: a bit of their shape. Look, they're trying to play 1392 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,680 Speaker 15: at Pacemarke and clearly they're still a little bit out 1393 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,360 Speaker 15: of synk. Let's not forget most of those players hadn't 1394 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,920 Speaker 15: played forty for four or five weeks. But in a 1395 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 15: test match against a big, bruising pack, Lake France Lake, Argentina. 1396 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 15: Maybe they just need to shelve a lot of that 1397 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 15: quick hand stuff and play percentage for what do you reckon? 1398 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 2: Jason? What happened with body? At the end he just 1399 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,880 Speaker 2: lovely kicks and then towards the end he sort of 1400 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 2: missed a couple and I'm thinking, is he gone what 1401 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 2: happens there? Is he thinking? Oh, We've got this in 1402 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 2: the bag anyway, so I won't turn it in like 1403 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 2: normally do or you know what I mean, It's like, 1404 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:55,880 Speaker 2: what's happening? 1405 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 11: Man? 1406 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,920 Speaker 21: Yeah, I doubt that's happened. I think, you know, he 1407 01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:00,640 Speaker 21: probably addresses every kickers though. 1408 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:02,920 Speaker 7: It's it's it's important that it goes over. 1409 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:04,880 Speaker 21: I thought he had a really good game boat Embarra 1410 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 21: to see there's been some criticism about him as well, 1411 01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 21: but I think he's clearly at the number one five. 1412 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:11,919 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1413 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 2: It's it's like us analyzing the six fifteen to six 1414 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,200 Speaker 2: twenty bit of my show. 1415 01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 15: This morning, and I'm you know, it's like we need 1416 01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 15: to be analyzed. 1417 01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,840 Speaker 2: It's over, you know, is that overall? 1418 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 12: Yes? 1419 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 15: You did. It's six fifteen to six thirty a little 1420 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,520 Speaker 15: bit of a dead patch, whereas eighteen to eight twenty 1421 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 15: two goes through the roofs. 1422 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 2: Well you know how it is? I mean not in 1423 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 2: not every sigment can be got. Did the Hosk entertain you? Yes? 1424 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 12: He did. 1425 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:38,920 Speaker 2: I mean that's all it counts, isn't it? 1426 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:41,960 Speaker 7: The biggest story is Alice Park, isn't it? 1427 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 15: What happened? 1428 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 16: Man? 1429 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,880 Speaker 7: Absolutely incredible? 1430 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 16: That was staggering. 1431 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:50,520 Speaker 21: Ye twenty two, niller head. South African fans are thinking 1432 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,760 Speaker 21: this is a sixty pointer. Australian fans are going, man, 1433 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:55,439 Speaker 21: what's going on? I'll probably have to go to bed. 1434 01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 21: Thirty eight unanswered points they haven't won? There is that 1435 01:04:59,160 --> 01:04:59,600 Speaker 21: a record? 1436 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 7: Kay was alive? 1437 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 2: Does anyone checked? 1438 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 5: That? 1439 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 2: Is thirty eight unanswered a record? 1440 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 15: And tis that's that's got to be. I'd imagine the 1441 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 15: most points South Africa's ever conceded at Alice Part. 1442 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty close now. From my point of view, 1443 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 2: I didn't see it. I only saw the highlights, right, 1444 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 2: But the highlights I saw was the Australians running rampant. 1445 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 2: So it wasn't like tough frontline stuff scraping over the 1446 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 2: long times. 1447 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 16: You're right there. 1448 01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 15: At times it looked like a big game of sevens. 1449 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1450 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 15: The Australians were holding the ball and waiting for it 1451 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 15: to see what the defensive line was doing. Then bang, 1452 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 15: they were off a little bit like sevens. I think 1453 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 15: also the South Africans looked tired through major stretches of 1454 01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 15: that game. They looked old and they looked tired. Hopefully 1455 01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 15: they look old and looked tired when they come here. 1456 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,439 Speaker 21: Australia have got so many wheels on the backs, haven't 1457 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,280 Speaker 21: they that? Max Jorgenson is so quick, Tom Writ's a 1458 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 21: brilliant player. Dylan Peach, They're a good team.

No? 1477 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 7: No, not after one game it hasn't. 1478 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,760 Speaker 21: I think all the points that we make about how 1479 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,720 Speaker 21: good Australia were and how tired South Africa looked stand 1480 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 21: but only for that eighty minutes. 1481 01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 7: You need to pick a sample site for me. 1482 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,360 Speaker 21: I feel as I need to see what happens in 1483 01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:54,440 Speaker 21: Cape Town, and I need to see how Australia shape 1484 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 21: up when they come here to take us on and 1485 01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:58,440 Speaker 21: South Africa the saying so, no, I don't think it 1486 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 21: hasn't materially change. 1487 01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:04,520 Speaker 15: I think yeah, I think South Africa will bounce back. Mike, However, 1488 01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,480 Speaker 15: I think Australia's stocks have risen. Let's not forget they 1489 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,160 Speaker 15: played a massive series against the Lions just a few 1490 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 15: weeks ago, finished it just a few weeks ago. Then 1491 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 15: they bounced back after a bit of a breather and 1492 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 15: win at Alice Park of all places, and stick thirty 1493 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 15: eight points in the spring box. Joe Schmidt's influenced the 1494 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,640 Speaker 15: key we coach on this team can't be underest Unfortunately, 1495 01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:29,520 Speaker 15: it looks like he's finishing with the Wallabies, but won't 1496 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 15: come back here and do a job immediately. Although in 1497 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 15: saying that, given the current executive events that are is 1498 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 15: going out the back door or leaving over the next 1499 01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 15: several months, then maybe Joe Schmitz, well he needs to 1500 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 15: do something here, doesn't he Well, you can't lose that 1501 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 15: sort of that sort of. 1502 01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,000 Speaker 2: Talent and ip no, no, no, no, I know, but 1503 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,400 Speaker 2: the big jobs taken, that's right, Well. 1504 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,959 Speaker 15: He could he could be not necessarily with the All Blacks. 1505 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 15: I'm talking about other teams, super rugby teams. 1506 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,480 Speaker 2: You once you've coached the national Siders coaching you know Canterbury, 1507 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 2: I mean obviously coaching. 1508 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 15: Coaching, and that could be at any level. 1509 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:14,080 Speaker 2: Okay, Now my problem is I get that the size 1510 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,640 Speaker 2: that it's like snooker, the size of the sports problematic. 1511 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 2: But as five and a half thousand people turning up 1512 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,800 Speaker 2: to the darts to success in a place that holds 1513 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 2: fifteen thousand. 1514 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:26,640 Speaker 21: I don't know whether they I don't know where they 1515 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,160 Speaker 21: do they have fifteen thousand seats, that's a spark. 1516 01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:32,080 Speaker 2: Spark arena can hold fifteen thousand. But I mean what 1517 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 2: I'm saying is that they're spreaking five and a half 1518 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:35,120 Speaker 2: thousands being a big deal. 1519 01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 15: I'm just thinking that it's a different configuration for the darts. 1520 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 2: You know, well I know that, But I mean, if 1521 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 2: you can sell ten thousand, you can figure it for 1522 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,280 Speaker 2: ten thousand. Would you wipe there's five and a half 1523 01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:44,640 Speaker 2: thousand feet good atmosphere? 1524 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:46,720 Speaker 15: Well you've got to realize, Mica, is that they take 1525 01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 15: a lot of seats out to put bars in. 1526 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,479 Speaker 2: What are you watching? I mean, I've never been to 1527 01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,800 Speaker 2: the darts, but are you watching a TV screen? Or 1528 01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,640 Speaker 2: is that the problem with the crowd size? You've got 1529 01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,679 Speaker 2: to be close enough to actually see the board itself. 1530 01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 7: Big screens on both sides. 1531 01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 21: So yeah, I mean, only only the people quite near 1532 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,240 Speaker 21: the front can actually see the dart board itself, a 1533 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,840 Speaker 21: mess of screens. But you're there for the atmosphere, aren't you. 1534 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 21: You're there to dress well exactly, But that's what that's. 1535 01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 2: What I'm saying. So why isn't it fifteen thousand? 1536 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 11: Why? 1537 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:18,320 Speaker 2: I mean, if all it is is about getting pested, 1538 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,200 Speaker 2: why isn't it fifteen thousand? 1539 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 15: Because not everybody's like you just go to somewhere to 1540 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:26,799 Speaker 15: get boost. 1541 01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:28,679 Speaker 2: Who doesn't want to dress up and get boost? 1542 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,120 Speaker 15: You to do it at home on the You do 1543 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,280 Speaker 15: it at home on the couch.

So Air Canada go on strike, ten 1639 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,920 Speaker 2: thousand near Canada flight attendants there on strike as I 1640 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,519 Speaker 2: over the weekend, and then they were returned, ordered to 1641 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:48,040 Speaker 2: return to work by the Industrial Relations Board and in 1642 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,960 Speaker 2: the Jobs Minister somebody called Patty. So in order to 1643 01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:55,120 Speaker 2: secure industrial peace and protect the interests of Canada, Canadians 1644 01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,639 Speaker 2: and the economy, so they used section one oh seven 1645 01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,479 Speaker 2: of the Canadian Union of Public Employers. All good for fantastic. 1646 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:04,400 Speaker 2: My question is, how is it that you allow people 1647 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 2: to go on strike. This is the national carrier, this 1648 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:08,840 Speaker 2: is the flag carrier of Canada. It's like in New 1649 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:10,599 Speaker 2: Zealand going on striking. There are no ere New Zealand 1650 01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,800 Speaker 2: plans taking off and us allowing that to somehow happen. 1651 01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,599 Speaker 2: It doesn't happen for fairly obvious reasons. How I mean, 1652 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,639 Speaker 2: maybe it's Canada. Maybe that's the sort of weird stuff 1653 01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,439 Speaker 2: they do in Canada. But what's the point of threatening 1654 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:24,439 Speaker 2: to go on strike then going on strike if each 1655 01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,640 Speaker 2: and every time obviously the government is going to go, well, 1656 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 2: it's Section one er seven, get back to work. What 1657 01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:30,920 Speaker 2: a waste of time? And what did that achieve? For 1658 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,040 Speaker 2: goodness sake? Obviously there are certain people who can't go 1659 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:34,600 Speaker 2: on strike, aren't allowed to go and strike, and that 1660 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,559 Speaker 2: should be one of them. But anyway, it seems resolved now, 1661 01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 2: Steve Price. Across the Tasman those two poles I gave 1662 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,200 Speaker 2: you earlier on this morning, can elbow get even more popular? 1663 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 2: There are incredible numbers, Steve Price. With that in other 1664 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 2: matters after the news, which is next to view's talks would. 1665 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:55,240 Speaker 1: Be news opinion and everything in between, the mic hosting 1666 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:59,520 Speaker 1: break best with Bailey's real estate altogether better across residential, 1667 01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 1: commercial and rural news togsad be. 1668 01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 2: Would you want to be the head of the top 1669 01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,800 Speaker 2: party even if you hadn't thought about it before as 1670 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,679 Speaker 2: one of those jobs because they're advertising the Opportunities party. 1671 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 2: This was that you go back to Gareth Morgan, Jeff Simmons, 1672 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:14,519 Speaker 2: you go who And that was part of the problem, 1673 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,839 Speaker 2: of course, because when Jeff became the leader, Raf Mangi 1674 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 2: last time, very well known name in christ jurtch Raff. 1675 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 2: But they didn't do anything. They've never really done anything, 1676 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 2: even under Gareth Morgan. The problem was always their tax policy, 1677 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 2: which no one could explain properly, and when they started 1678 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 2: explaining it, you sort of lost the will to live. Anyway, 1679 01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:32,600 Speaker 2: they if you am not up on the side of 1680 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:36,200 Speaker 2: the story. They're looking for a leader. A political party 1681 01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,439 Speaker 2: is looking for a leader and they're advertising the job 1682 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:43,960 Speaker 2: currently on seekh whereas I don't know. Is that desperate? 1683 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,280 Speaker 2: Is it clever? But here's the other thing. Do you 1684 01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,639 Speaker 2: know who they have campaign managers? Guess who their campaign 1685 01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:54,360 Speaker 2: manager is, Ian Lee's Galloway, Remember that name, Ian Le's 1686 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,320 Speaker 2: Ian I didn't read the report in time Lee's Galloway. 1687 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:00,920 Speaker 2: He's now turned up at top. Do you move from 1688 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,840 Speaker 2: labor to top? Does that surprise you? Do you move 1689 01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,720 Speaker 2: from a labour party to the top? Party's top seen 1690 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:06,680 Speaker 2: the left or center right? 1691 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:10,000 Speaker 8: Anyway depends on the leader they select. I suppose is 1692 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 8: this not your big chance? 1693 01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:13,639 Speaker 2: It's funny you should say that, Cleann. 1694 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,640 Speaker 8: Are you taking their calls? Is that why they've had 1695 01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:17,479 Speaker 8: to go to seek. 1696 01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:24,759 Speaker 13: Twenty two to nine International correspondence with ends an eye insurance, 1697 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 13: peace of mind for New Zealand business see bright. 1698 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 2: With us in Australia. Very good morning to you. 1699 01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:31,280 Speaker 3: Hello there these poles. 1700 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:34,160 Speaker 2: I was pondering the idea the main pole this morning. 1701 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:36,519 Speaker 2: That shows that Elbow's even more popular, and he'd win 1702 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,920 Speaker 2: more seats of an election were held today. Do you 1703 01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,479 Speaker 2: reckon it's the zeitgeist? In other words, he wins an 1704 01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,120 Speaker 2: election anyone at well, no question about that. But people 1705 01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,280 Speaker 2: then see him in a different light. They go, actually, 1706 01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 2: that guy, I reckon, he's really cool, and he becomes 1707 01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:52,000 Speaker 2: almost biosmosis more popular. 1708 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,560 Speaker 16: Well, I'm probably the wrong person to ask, because I 1709 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 16: don't think he's very cool at all. In a fact, 1710 01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 16: I think he's probably in my lifetime go down as 1711 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 16: one of the two or three prime ministers we've ever had. 1712 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 16: His leadership is non existent. He seems to be more 1713 01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:09,080 Speaker 16: interested in coosing up to China than keeping our relationship 1714 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:13,799 Speaker 16: with the Americans on solid ground. He's now recognizing Palestine, obviously, 1715 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 16: But I'm much older than probably the people who are 1716 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 16: being pulled by Newspall. It shows that he's back to 1717 01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 16: where he was pre voice and remember the voice. I mean, 1718 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,040 Speaker 16: you can never forget that. I when he went around 1719 01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,000 Speaker 16: to the country saying the first thing he stood up 1720 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 16: on the first night that he got elected the first 1721 01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,680 Speaker 16: time and said, the first thing we will do is 1722 01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 16: implement the Uluru Statement from the heart and full. And 1723 01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,880 Speaker 16: he then decided to have a voice referendum, which then 1724 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,599 Speaker 16: obviously fell over and it was a waste of political 1725 01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,719 Speaker 16: probably good will by the Prime minister. And it appears 1726 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:50,320 Speaker 16: he's made some miraculous recovery. But we will have to 1727 01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 16: wait and see, because I think one of the big 1728 01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,559 Speaker 16: tests is going to come to One does he get 1729 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 16: that meeting with Donald Trump when he goes to the 1730 01:17:57,560 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 16: UN in New York to say I want to close 1731 01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 16: up Palestine? And Two what comes out of this three 1732 01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 16: day Roundtable economic meeting which is about to start in 1733 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 16: Canberra tomorrow and we'll run across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. 1734 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:15,640 Speaker 2: Two part question is what's happening at the roundtable? Preordained? 1735 01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,840 Speaker 2: Two is anything actually going to happen? 1736 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:24,000 Speaker 16: The answer is yes and no, there's no doubt it's preordained. 1737 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,759 Speaker 16: Treasury is sat down, you know, with the finance ministers 1738 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,519 Speaker 16: in the government, Jim Chalmers and Katie Gallagher and the 1739 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 16: rest of them, and they probably worked out exactly what 1740 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,519 Speaker 16: they're going to do. Most people believe that there will 1741 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 16: be some sort of I mean, Anthony Abanez's thing of 1742 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 16: him came out and said, you know, we've got no 1743 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,880 Speaker 16: plans to increase taxes beyond what we promised during the 1744 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,719 Speaker 16: election campaign. Well they promised you in the election campaign 1745 01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:50,880 Speaker 16: that they're going to double the tax on anyone who's 1746 01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,360 Speaker 16: got a super fun worth more than three million dollars. 1747 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,120 Speaker 16: So that will happen, but there will be some adjustments 1748 01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 16: to other parts of the tax scales. There's no doubt 1749 01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,200 Speaker 16: about that. Seem very keen on something I mentioned to 1750 01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,160 Speaker 16: you last week, Miche, and that is taxing people who 1751 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,880 Speaker 16: drive electric vehicles on our roads, which is growing in 1752 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,599 Speaker 16: numbers because they pay no petrol duty at the moment. 1753 01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,280 Speaker 16: So those two things will come out of it. Interestingly, 1754 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 16: the Australian reporting this morning that only one senior resources 1755 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,960 Speaker 16: executive that's from Woodside Petroleum has been invited, and yet 1756 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:28,639 Speaker 16: we have the Australian Conservation Foundation and various other lobby 1757 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:32,719 Speaker 16: groups from the green groups who are invited, including people 1758 01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 16: who have shut down woodside projects in Wa. So it's 1759 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,400 Speaker 16: going to be a frosty little room I would reckon, and. 1760 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,960 Speaker 2: I would imagine any number of union members have been welcomed. 1761 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,920 Speaker 16: Yeah, the ACTU boss Sally McManus should be there, and 1762 01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:51,559 Speaker 16: there's a number of other leading union bosses as well. Obviously, 1763 01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:53,519 Speaker 16: she put on the agenda last week that she'd like 1764 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,240 Speaker 16: to see Australian workers work four days a week, not five, 1765 01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:00,200 Speaker 16: for the same money they currently earn. So god knows 1766 01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:01,680 Speaker 16: how that's going to go down when she puts that 1767 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:03,720 Speaker 16: on the table and stands up to speak about it. 1768 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,640 Speaker 16: It will be fascinating to see what happens. But I 1769 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 16: think it will be largely symbolic the news. 1770 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,880 Speaker 2: In the airport, I think, and I am literally making 1771 01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,800 Speaker 2: this up for some reason. I've no idea why in 1772 01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:20,000 Speaker 2: New Zealand I think is going in there. So are 1773 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:21,800 Speaker 2: they alone as no one else signed up to this. 1774 01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,040 Speaker 16: Well in New Zealand has signed a letter of in 1775 01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 16: Kent as has Quantas and Singapore Airlines. No other airline 1776 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 16: has even done that. This thing opens in a year. 1777 01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 16: It's being built for the cost of five point three billion. 1778 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,640 Speaker 16: Now in New Zealand's boss of short haul flights, a 1779 01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:44,640 Speaker 16: woman called Lucy Hall, is quoted in an article at 1780 01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,800 Speaker 16: the Weekend which reveals it there's no one, unbelievably, no 1781 01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 16: one has actually put their name on a bit of 1782 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,840 Speaker 16: paper and want to fly there. She says, given the 1783 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:58,639 Speaker 16: number of New Zealanders, particularly Mary's, and also the number 1784 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,600 Speaker 16: of Pacific Islanders living Western Sydney, she thinks it's a 1785 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,120 Speaker 16: good idea and so that would be short all flights 1786 01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 16: out of Wellington, Auckland christ Church into that airport would 1787 01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,240 Speaker 16: make it more sensible for people visiting relatives in Western Sydney. 1788 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:15,160 Speaker 16: But I mean, I'll ask you a question. If you're 1789 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:18,960 Speaker 16: flying internationally and you decide you want to come to Australia, 1790 01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,400 Speaker 16: and you tick a box and you end up flying 1791 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:26,559 Speaker 16: into the New Sydney International Airport fifty kilometers from the CBCH, 1792 01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:30,559 Speaker 16: I're going to say, as opposed to eight at Kingsford 1793 01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 16: Smith Airport. It's a bit like if you make the 1794 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 16: mistake flying at Japan and you go to Narrita instead 1795 01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:38,840 Speaker 16: are going to Hanada. I mean, why would you want 1796 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,400 Speaker 16: to land out there. There's no transport infrastructure built into 1797 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,519 Speaker 16: this project, and so you're going to be in an uber. 1798 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 2: It's like Gatwork and Heathrow. I suppose at the end 1799 01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:49,680 Speaker 2: of the day, isn't it. But I mean, having said that, 1800 01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:53,439 Speaker 2: how many people you reckon like Auckland to Sydney. How 1801 01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:56,080 Speaker 2: many people go, Oh, I wonder which airport I'm landing at? 1802 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,519 Speaker 2: You wouldn't would you just assume you land and suddenly 1803 01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,599 Speaker 2: you're stuck out there and drink because I stay at 1804 01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,800 Speaker 2: the Park Height in Sydney, of. 1805 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:08,519 Speaker 16: Course you do. What would I think it would be anywhere? 1806 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,840 Speaker 2: What what's the cab fare from the new airport to 1807 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:13,280 Speaker 2: the Park Height down at the Rocks? 1808 01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:17,360 Speaker 16: Probably a matter as much as the dollars a night 1809 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:18,479 Speaker 16: room that you're living. 1810 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,760 Speaker 2: Ye okay, and that's open when literally next year or 1811 01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:23,320 Speaker 2: we don't know. 1812 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 15: Ye. 1813 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,400 Speaker 16: Well, this price at the weekend was pinned because it's 1814 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 16: a one year anovers until it actually opens. It's going 1815 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 16: to be very interesting to see what happens. 1816 01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,840 Speaker 2: Right see Wednesday appreciated seatprice out of Australia. Australia Banaber 1817 01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,840 Speaker 2: two signed a deal over the weekend two three undred 1818 01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 2: and twenty eight million dollars economic tized ten year deal 1819 01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,639 Speaker 2: strengthening security is quite a bit going on, and you'll 1820 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:46,639 Speaker 2: know how Prime. It's not that it got much coverage. 1821 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 2: You was up in P and G a week or 1822 01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:51,680 Speaker 2: so back. That was what they would loosely call soft diplomacy, 1823 01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 2: of course, because we got the ongoing problems with the Cooks. 1824 01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 2: But Australia signed with Banova two three hundred and twenty 1825 01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,760 Speaker 2: eight million over a ten year deal. It's called the 1826 01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:04,439 Speaker 2: Knackamal Agreement. Took months of negotiations, transforms Australia's relationship with 1827 01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:09,600 Speaker 2: the Pacific Islands. Apparently we are family. Officially signed in September, 1828 01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,479 Speaker 2: so a lot of interest in that particular part of 1829 01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 2: the world for fairly obvious reasons. At the moment eight 1830 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:16,000 Speaker 2: forty five. 1831 01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:21,719 Speaker 1: The like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 1832 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:22,719 Speaker 1: By News talks. 1833 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 2: At b Ah Mike. I wonder if the difference between 1834 01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:27,599 Speaker 2: Luxon and Elbows simply comes down to the media support 1835 01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 2: lack thereof. You can only imagine the ABC gashing over elbows, 1836 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:34,200 Speaker 2: progressive policies, et cetera. Yes and no. I mean there's 1837 01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,439 Speaker 2: no question that labor government and in this country got 1838 01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 2: an easier run under the media. And there's no question 1839 01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 2: that you know, but at the end of the day, 1840 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,400 Speaker 2: you'd like to think that people can make up their 1841 01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 2: own mind no matter what the media is saying, runs 1842 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,439 Speaker 2: on the board and facts and all that sort of stuff. 1843 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,519 Speaker 2: But you might have a point. I note, interestingly I 1844 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 2: read over the way there's quite a lot of stuff 1845 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,680 Speaker 2: around at the moment about travel, and people are not 1846 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,680 Speaker 2: going to America the way they used to. There's a 1847 01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:02,639 Speaker 2: material drop off. Interestingly enough, a lot of Canadians, perhaps 1848 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,720 Speaker 2: not surprisingly, are not going to America anymore, but the 1849 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 2: Mexicans are. There's a huge increase of Mexicans going to 1850 01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:12,680 Speaker 2: America for holidays, whereas it's so they've sort of counterbalanced 1851 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 2: each other. But Asia seems to be a real issue. 1852 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,479 Speaker 2: And I don't even know if the Americans know, will 1853 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,599 Speaker 2: care about any of this. But Japan, China and Vietnam 1854 01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:22,720 Speaker 2: are very hot for Australians right now in terms of 1855 01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:24,720 Speaker 2: the States that they don't want to go to the 1856 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:30,120 Speaker 2: States anymore. It's too problematic, they worry, probably not realistically. 1857 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:31,920 Speaker 2: I mean, what's the chance of you turning up a 1858 01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,200 Speaker 2: lax and somebody from Ice comes and goes and throws 1859 01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:36,840 Speaker 2: you in a room and you're not seen for several weeks. 1860 01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:38,960 Speaker 2: I mean the chance of that happens about zero. But nevertheless, 1861 01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,880 Speaker 2: it's the vibe, isn't it anyway? So we're off to Japan, China, 1862 01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:45,680 Speaker 2: and Vietnam. Indonesia is the other one, huge growth one 1863 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:49,680 Speaker 2: point seven million Australians most popular obaseas destination these days 1864 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 2: Indonesia read bali basically and five percent. This was the 1865 01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,200 Speaker 2: other interesting thing that said a five to ten percent 1866 01:24:56,360 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 2: shift in currency doesn't really change people's intentions, which I 1867 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,639 Speaker 2: found moderately surprising, because five to ten percent is a lot. 1868 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:09,320 Speaker 2: If you're dealing with you think about transferring your New 1869 01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:13,920 Speaker 2: Zealand dollar to forty four p. I mean, it's pathetic 1870 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 2: or fifty five or fifty six US literally harving your 1871 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,600 Speaker 2: money to go to America. Why would you bother? And 1872 01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:23,800 Speaker 2: the yen at the moment it won't be quite the 1873 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 2: same for US, but the yen for Australians at the 1874 01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 2: moment is dollar for yen. In other words, it's like 1875 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,000 Speaker 2: it's parity, and it hasn't reached parity since twenty fourteen. 1876 01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 2: And traditionally, of course, Japan's been seen as a fairly 1877 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 2: expensive sort of country, and that's partially because of the end, 1878 01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,360 Speaker 2: but also because Japan is an expensive country, but all 1879 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 2: of a sudden dollar for dollar, and it hasn't been 1880 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 2: that way since twenty fourteen. You're off and running, aren't you. 1881 01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 2: So there's agin It's all. 1882 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,320 Speaker 8: Relative, isn't it? Like it depends on what you're buying 1883 01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,280 Speaker 8: when you're on holiday. I mean some of us are 1884 01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:53,040 Speaker 8: just buying a bear, So yeah, if the bear is 1885 01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,640 Speaker 8: five percent more expensive, big deal. Some of us, on 1886 01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:59,400 Speaker 8: the other hand, by the King's Shoes, I mentioned that 1887 01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:01,360 Speaker 8: the margin is a little bit more significant. 1888 01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:05,080 Speaker 2: Thanks for that. Nine minutes away from nine. 1889 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,960 Speaker 3: The make Asking Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate news dogs. 1890 01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 2: There'd be like the Labour Party's union minions appear to 1891 01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,600 Speaker 2: be coordinating and ramping up directions against the government and 1892 01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:20,320 Speaker 2: widest citizenry. Yeah, I saw some of them. They're off 1893 01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:22,920 Speaker 2: to the United Nations the other day. There's the Maryland 1894 01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,800 Speaker 2: wearing thing where they wander around the country. The people 1895 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 2: what are they calling it? The People Select Committee? Another 1896 01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:29,960 Speaker 2: group of them, the pay equity thing. They're wandering after 1897 01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,120 Speaker 2: the UN. What is it you think that the UN 1898 01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:35,760 Speaker 2: are going to do? Honestly, when you look at the 1899 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,280 Speaker 2: United Nations. Say whatever you want about the United Nations. 1900 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,120 Speaker 2: I'm know a particular fan of the United Nations. It's 1901 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,800 Speaker 2: a pointless exercise. I mean it was back back in 1902 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,040 Speaker 2: the forties whenever it was it was like, yeah, fair enough, 1903 01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,280 Speaker 2: I get it, I understand it. But it's proved over 1904 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,920 Speaker 2: the decades to be little short of a complete waste 1905 01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,639 Speaker 2: of time. As long as you've got the permanent members 1906 01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 2: of the Security councilor one one veto vote, nothing gets done. 1907 01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:00,799 Speaker 2: So what do you think that going to the United 1908 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:03,400 Speaker 2: Nations in New York with your pay equity claim from 1909 01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,320 Speaker 2: New Zealand is some What are they going to do 1910 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:08,439 Speaker 2: apart from nothing? What was the other thing that's happening. 1911 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 2: There's five unions taking the government to court over pay 1912 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 2: equity as well. What's going to happen without nothing? How 1913 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:18,080 Speaker 2: much money? If you're a member of the union and 1914 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 2: you pay your subs to the unions each year and 1915 01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,160 Speaker 2: the next thing you know, they're hiring yet more lawyers 1916 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 2: to go to a court to achieve nothing. Are you 1917 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,799 Speaker 2: happy with that? Is that what you wanted your subs 1918 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,680 Speaker 2: to go for? Is that something that you're thinking to yourself, Oh, 1919 01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:36,080 Speaker 2: thank goodness, I gave the union that money. Weirdest business 1920 01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:37,360 Speaker 2: five minutes away from nine. 1921 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 3: Trending now with chemist wareuse savings every day. 1922 01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,960 Speaker 2: Right now, I'm being told Superman's going viral. So before 1923 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,040 Speaker 2: it hits streaming, it's been at the movies. This is 1924 01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:51,679 Speaker 2: DC Studios. They put out this speech onto social media 1925 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,200 Speaker 2: this morning. Now, if you've seen the movie, you'll know 1926 01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 2: what the speech is. But nevertheless, there are thirty five 1927 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,479 Speaker 2: million people out there who have clicked on this this morning, 1928 01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 2: and so it's it's viral. 1929 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:04,040 Speaker 13: Now. 1930 01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,640 Speaker 2: James Gunn, who's James Gunn? See the director, right, So 1931 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,439 Speaker 2: James Gunn tweets about the fact that Superman was an 1932 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:15,240 Speaker 2: alien who has showed kindness. So that was thought that 1933 01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 2: that was a political statement. So the speech and the 1934 01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 2: fact that was even in the movie drew praise and 1935 01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,799 Speaker 2: criticism from both sides of the divide. 1936 01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 3: Alien. 1937 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:30,400 Speaker 24: That is where you've always been wrong about me. What 1938 01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,120 Speaker 24: I'm as human as anyone. 1939 01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:34,120 Speaker 13: I love. 1940 01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:37,920 Speaker 24: I get scared. I wake up every morning and despite 1941 01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:39,960 Speaker 24: not knowing what to do, I put one foot in 1942 01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,720 Speaker 24: front of the other and I try to make the 1943 01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,439 Speaker 24: best choices I can. I screw up all the time, 1944 01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:49,639 Speaker 24: but that is being human and that's my greatest strength 1945 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 24: and someday I hope for the sake of the world, Zeta. 1946 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:04,240 Speaker 2: That was shocking is that in them mooviy. 1947 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,519 Speaker 8: I disappointed that the dog wasn't in there anywhere, because 1948 01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:07,519 Speaker 8: I seem to love the dog. 1949 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:11,720 Speaker 2: You've seen Conclave?

I don't know where I've been. I 1955 01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:25,719 Speaker 2: got to the end of that. We watched it because 1956 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:30,240 Speaker 2: it was raining anyway, it was this. No, I'm just saying, 1957 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:32,840 Speaker 2: if you haven't seen it, I don't know why that 1958 01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:36,280 Speaker 2: ending hasn't been like headlines around the world is the 1959 01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:40,000 Speaker 2: stupidest thing. It was already a bad movie with a 1960 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 2: very good cast.
