But it is interesting because 502 00:23:47,813 --> 00:23:49,653 Speaker 2: he was such a good talker and such a powerful 503 00:23:49,693 --> 00:23:52,373 Speaker 2: presence with the media, but when you actually look into 504 00:23:52,413 --> 00:23:55,413 Speaker 2: what he was like behind the scenes, he didn't really 505 00:23:55,453 --> 00:23:59,453 Speaker 2: seem to like confrontation confrontation. So I think, you know, 506 00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:03,933 Speaker 2: the Roger Nomics guys, I think they were surprised how 507 00:24:03,973 --> 00:24:06,173 Speaker 2: much they could push past David long In. A lot 508 00:24:06,213 --> 00:24:09,253 Speaker 2: of what went through wasn't really in keeping his views 509 00:24:09,293 --> 00:24:10,693 Speaker 2: of the world, would you agree, peat. 510 00:24:11,893 --> 00:24:14,013 Speaker 16: Well, I said there was a bit of that, but 511 00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:16,373 Speaker 16: he was certainly a pregmatist, and I think that's that's 512 00:24:16,653 --> 00:24:20,053 Speaker 16: something you get in a good prime minister, someone who 513 00:24:20,053 --> 00:24:22,213 Speaker 16: can see the other side, someone who can look outside 514 00:24:22,573 --> 00:24:28,173 Speaker 16: their own belief system. But that particular part of you know, 515 00:24:28,253 --> 00:24:31,733 Speaker 16: the Labor Party sensory also gave first to act, so you. 516 00:24:31,693 --> 00:24:34,133 Speaker 3: Know, yeah, well Preble was a big part of it, 517 00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:37,693 Speaker 3: wasn't it That push against and working with Roger Douglas 518 00:24:37,733 --> 00:24:40,213 Speaker 3: to put those those policies through. 519 00:24:40,333 --> 00:24:44,613 Speaker 2: But and I think it's hard to remember, for I 520 00:24:44,613 --> 00:24:46,973 Speaker 2: don't think people know how little we weren't on the map. 521 00:24:47,493 --> 00:24:49,733 Speaker 2: You know, at that point, we just weren't on the 522 00:24:49,733 --> 00:24:53,573 Speaker 2: map at all for anyone. And for David Longey to 523 00:24:53,613 --> 00:24:57,373 Speaker 2: go to that Oxford debate and make you know, global headlines, 524 00:24:57,653 --> 00:25:01,093 Speaker 2: even though he pissed off the Americans, what was we 525 00:25:01,253 --> 00:25:03,013 Speaker 2: just were the I think at that time we were 526 00:25:03,013 --> 00:25:05,173 Speaker 2: describing it as ourselves as the little mouse that roared. 527 00:25:06,093 --> 00:25:10,333 Speaker 2: But since since then people people have heard of us 528 00:25:10,373 --> 00:25:12,293 Speaker 2: a lot more, had a lot of different things have 529 00:25:12,373 --> 00:25:12,773 Speaker 2: gone down. 530 00:25:14,173 --> 00:25:17,133 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, exactly, But you're right, his charisma was was 531 00:25:17,253 --> 00:25:17,853 Speaker 3: next level. 532 00:25:18,253 --> 00:25:20,813 Speaker 2: David LONGI the interesting thing that I found out, and 533 00:25:20,973 --> 00:25:22,573 Speaker 2: you know, when you when you go through and why 534 00:25:23,333 --> 00:25:25,013 Speaker 2: you know, he got rolled and it all went went 535 00:25:25,133 --> 00:25:28,413 Speaker 2: and went bad for him. He had terrible health right 536 00:25:28,453 --> 00:25:31,533 Speaker 2: through that, so he was fighting with terrible health and 537 00:25:31,893 --> 00:25:34,053 Speaker 2: drinking a lot, and yeah, I think the pressure of 538 00:25:34,093 --> 00:25:35,573 Speaker 2: that job really got to him. But hey, thank you 539 00:25:35,573 --> 00:25:37,533 Speaker 2: so much for your call. Pete appreciate it. David Longie, 540 00:25:37,693 --> 00:25:40,813 Speaker 2: few votes coming through for him for the most consequential 541 00:25:41,213 --> 00:25:42,493 Speaker 2: prime minister of our history. 542 00:25:42,573 --> 00:25:45,053 Speaker 3: Yep, he's certainly up there. Nine two niney two is 543 00:25:45,093 --> 00:25:47,093 Speaker 3: the text number. Love to hear your thoughts about who 544 00:25:47,333 --> 00:25:48,733 Speaker 3: is our best prime minister? 545 00:25:49,693 --> 00:25:51,453 Speaker 2: David, your thoughts. 546 00:25:52,133 --> 00:25:54,292 Speaker 19: I was just going to put forward the name of 547 00:25:54,733 --> 00:25:55,733 Speaker 19: Erica Stanford. 548 00:25:56,573 --> 00:25:58,093 Speaker 2: And you're looking into the future, then. 549 00:25:59,013 --> 00:26:04,453 Speaker 19: Yes I am. And the future and or the immediate future. 550 00:26:04,533 --> 00:26:07,493 Speaker 19: She's a Minister of Education, I think. But she's done 551 00:26:07,613 --> 00:26:10,733 Speaker 19: an amaze thing that people who are not the parents 552 00:26:10,813 --> 00:26:15,213 Speaker 19: of primary school aged children might not even be aware 553 00:26:15,253 --> 00:26:18,053 Speaker 19: of that. Since the beginning of the year she pushed 554 00:26:18,093 --> 00:26:24,333 Speaker 19: through this great move of reintroducing phonics for teaching kids. 555 00:26:24,373 --> 00:26:30,133 Speaker 19: And it's going to really change things if labor doesn't 556 00:26:30,133 --> 00:26:32,773 Speaker 19: get in and stuff it all up or whatever, you know, 557 00:26:33,013 --> 00:26:36,613 Speaker 19: because the last time we had it in New Zealand, 558 00:26:36,813 --> 00:26:40,533 Speaker 19: back prior to the seventies and eighties, which is when 559 00:26:40,533 --> 00:26:44,093 Speaker 19: it just got sort of based out, we were number 560 00:26:44,093 --> 00:26:49,173 Speaker 19: one in the world, or very close to it. To literacy. Yeah, 561 00:26:49,413 --> 00:26:52,813 Speaker 19: and that would have been because of phonics or structured 562 00:26:52,893 --> 00:26:55,893 Speaker 19: learning as they call it. And that's why I think 563 00:26:56,693 --> 00:26:59,413 Speaker 19: she would get my vote for prime minister. And I 564 00:26:59,573 --> 00:27:04,173 Speaker 19: just she sounds incredibly capable and yes. 565 00:27:04,933 --> 00:27:10,853 Speaker 2: She's extremely extremely popular and these recent results of she's 566 00:27:10,893 --> 00:27:13,613 Speaker 2: looking very good.

You know, I didn't eat muscles, 683 00:33:04,613 --> 00:33:08,053 Speaker 21: but I didn't want to say no thinking so I 684 00:33:08,133 --> 00:33:11,133 Speaker 21: took from Yeah, I took them and gave in to 685 00:33:11,213 --> 00:33:13,093 Speaker 21: my father in law.

But he sounds like 700 00:33:45,413 --> 00:33:48,533 Speaker 3: a thoroughly decent human being, Terry, And that's what I'm 701 00:33:48,533 --> 00:33:51,133 Speaker 3: reading and seeing. And obviously you met the bloke and 702 00:33:51,173 --> 00:33:53,053 Speaker 3: that that says a lot about a person, right. 703 00:33:53,693 --> 00:33:56,933 Speaker 21: Yeah, he's a good man. Yeah, definitely was a good many. 704 00:33:57,053 --> 00:33:58,613 Speaker 2: Thanks for you cool Terry, Thanks for sharing that. 705 00:33:58,813 --> 00:34:02,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, Aaron, you've got a few thoughts. Yeah, okay, mate, 706 00:34:02,453 --> 00:34:04,053 Speaker 3: you've got a few thoughts on different prime ministers. 707 00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:05,493 Speaker 11: Yeah. 708 00:34:05,533 --> 00:34:07,973 Speaker 22: Well I met Jim Boulder a few years ago, said 709 00:34:08,013 --> 00:34:11,133 Speaker 22: it a with them at an event and this is 710 00:34:11,172 --> 00:34:13,172 Speaker 22: only four or five years ago, and thought what an 711 00:34:13,213 --> 00:34:19,013 Speaker 22: amazing person he was. And the comment I wanted to 712 00:34:19,053 --> 00:34:22,173 Speaker 22: make is that you can't quite judge a prime minister 713 00:34:22,213 --> 00:34:26,093 Speaker 22: in their first couple of years. Bolder came in and 714 00:34:26,133 --> 00:34:29,212 Speaker 22: there was supposedly going to be a ninety million dollar 715 00:34:29,253 --> 00:34:32,933 Speaker 22: surplus and he ended up with a three billion dollar deficit. 716 00:34:33,213 --> 00:34:37,093 Speaker 22: Who thought out and had Ruth Richards to the mother 717 00:34:37,133 --> 00:34:42,253 Speaker 22: of all budgets. Everyone was hating the government from all 718 00:34:42,253 --> 00:34:44,893 Speaker 22: their cuts and you know, all that sort of thing. 719 00:34:45,613 --> 00:34:48,373 Speaker 22: But as time went on, it proved that he was 720 00:34:50,093 --> 00:34:53,373 Speaker 22: capable and had all the right attributes to pull it. 721 00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:53,773 Speaker 12: Off, you know. 722 00:34:53,853 --> 00:34:56,053 Speaker 22: And so same with Helen Clark. 723 00:34:56,093 --> 00:34:56,613 Speaker 11: I think. 724 00:34:58,093 --> 00:35:01,853 Speaker 22: In her first year there was a lot of discontent 725 00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:04,173 Speaker 22: and they caught it the Winter of Discontent, and she 726 00:35:04,413 --> 00:35:08,292 Speaker 22: over time proved to be quite a good prime minister, 727 00:35:08,613 --> 00:35:12,533 Speaker 22: one of one of our best. And so it's been 728 00:35:12,613 --> 00:35:15,293 Speaker 22: through to descend it. You know, two years into her role, 729 00:35:16,493 --> 00:35:22,333 Speaker 22: she handled the christ Church events amazingly and was touring 730 00:35:22,413 --> 00:35:26,692 Speaker 22: and yet maybe a whole week of us now would 731 00:35:26,733 --> 00:35:29,973 Speaker 22: think of the you know what, what was left in 732 00:35:30,053 --> 00:35:33,293 Speaker 22: terms of all the borrowing and the economy being hostile 733 00:35:33,333 --> 00:35:37,613 Speaker 22: passed onto our current government. So the comment I wanted 734 00:35:37,653 --> 00:35:39,613 Speaker 22: to sort of make is it's very hard to judge 735 00:35:39,653 --> 00:35:43,053 Speaker 22: a prime minister in this first one year or two years, 736 00:35:43,493 --> 00:35:46,853 Speaker 22: and possibly that's the case. Is where we're at at 737 00:35:46,853 --> 00:35:49,893 Speaker 22: the moment, the cuts, the cuts and all of the 738 00:35:50,453 --> 00:35:52,853 Speaker 22: all of the negativity around the place, and we've still 739 00:35:52,933 --> 00:35:56,773 Speaker 22: got this long big detox going on as a as A, 740 00:35:56,773 --> 00:35:59,533 Speaker 22: as A country trying to clear out all of all 741 00:35:59,573 --> 00:36:05,933 Speaker 22: of the problems economically and perhaps in time if we 742 00:36:06,013 --> 00:36:09,333 Speaker 22: give it, perhaps the current it would be given a 743 00:36:09,373 --> 00:36:13,933 Speaker 22: little bit more credit for the hospital passies received and 744 00:36:13,933 --> 00:36:16,173 Speaker 22: and trying to pull off something despite not really getting 745 00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:21,053 Speaker 22: a honeymoon, but due to his coalition partners. Would you 746 00:36:21,133 --> 00:36:23,213 Speaker 22: would you would you have the negotiations? 747 00:36:23,413 --> 00:36:26,212 Speaker 2: Would you say that we had pretty would you say 748 00:36:26,213 --> 00:36:33,133 Speaker 2: we had pretty sound economic leadership through Bulger Clerk and 749 00:36:34,013 --> 00:36:35,213 Speaker 2: you know there's there's a bit of a ship in 750 00:36:35,253 --> 00:36:37,733 Speaker 2: the middle of there, but not for long. Yeah, but 751 00:36:37,933 --> 00:36:40,853 Speaker 2: a Bulger Clark and Key that that that sort of 752 00:36:40,933 --> 00:36:44,333 Speaker 2: that period was pretty very long period of stability, wasn't it. 753 00:36:45,133 --> 00:36:51,173 Speaker 22: Well, Yeah, the National nineties financial management was was was 754 00:36:51,213 --> 00:36:54,053 Speaker 22: fairly healthy and then Michael Cullen was a very good 755 00:36:54,093 --> 00:36:55,732 Speaker 22: operator through to Bill English looking. 756 00:36:56,613 --> 00:36:58,813 Speaker 2: Key Saver is a great, great legacy, I would. 757 00:36:58,653 --> 00:37:03,533 Speaker 22: Say, I'd say Key Savers is a fantastic thing. I've 758 00:37:03,533 --> 00:37:06,333 Speaker 22: got eleven staff and they are all saving for their 759 00:37:06,373 --> 00:37:11,733 Speaker 22: future cost me, but it's as well worth their future 760 00:37:12,013 --> 00:37:13,573 Speaker 22: to have it, and I think it's a good initiative. 761 00:37:15,093 --> 00:37:18,093 Speaker 22: As for Grant Robertson, you know, I think you'd have 762 00:37:18,133 --> 00:37:21,693 Speaker 22: to say the wheels have fallen off, particularly post twenty 763 00:37:21,733 --> 00:37:25,773 Speaker 22: twenty borrowing another one hundred and twenty billion, and I 764 00:37:25,813 --> 00:37:28,693 Speaker 22: think it costs something like ten billion a year and 765 00:37:28,973 --> 00:37:33,772 Speaker 22: interest alone just from that additional borrowing. And so yeah, 766 00:37:33,813 --> 00:37:37,493 Speaker 22: we've we've always done well when we've had a personable 767 00:37:37,653 --> 00:37:43,813 Speaker 22: prime minister and then a very capable finance minister. Whether 768 00:37:44,373 --> 00:37:47,653 Speaker 22: whether the media is giving that an opportunity at the moment, 769 00:37:47,773 --> 00:37:52,133 Speaker 22: I don't know, but yeah, I think I think you've 770 00:37:52,133 --> 00:37:54,333 Speaker 22: got to give time and you've got to give credit 771 00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:57,493 Speaker 22: over the long haul and not Dodge twot two sent Yeah. 772 00:37:57,333 --> 00:37:59,652 Speaker 2: I think if you call Aaron very well thought through 773 00:37:59,693 --> 00:38:01,773 Speaker 2: a lot of truth in that I was wrong. I've 774 00:38:01,813 --> 00:38:05,373 Speaker 2: done that thing where I've said Paristan North when I 775 00:38:05,413 --> 00:38:07,533 Speaker 2: went new plumbers are right.

Often referred to as the last true farmer 820 00:40:09,653 --> 00:40:13,373 Speaker 3: prime ministers and also the great Helmsman. He was known 821 00:40:13,413 --> 00:40:16,813 Speaker 3: for his pragmatic leadership style, earning that nickname during a 822 00:40:16,853 --> 00:40:20,613 Speaker 3: time of significant economic and social transformation. So we're talking 823 00:40:20,613 --> 00:40:23,453 Speaker 3: about Jim Bolger, but also we've asked the question, who, 824 00:40:23,453 --> 00:40:25,773 Speaker 3: for you is our greatest ever prime minister? 825 00:40:26,093 --> 00:40:29,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, who's our most significant prime minister?

But we shouldn't discount 853 00:41:57,333 --> 00:42:01,093 Speaker 11: the effect that Bob Jones had in that election with 854 00:42:01,293 --> 00:42:04,773 Speaker 11: the themation of the New Zealand Party. And an interesting 855 00:42:04,813 --> 00:42:09,013 Speaker 11: little fact was the candidates standing for the Bay of 856 00:42:09,053 --> 00:42:12,093 Speaker 11: Islands for the New Zealand Party back in nineteen eighty 857 00:42:12,093 --> 00:42:15,373 Speaker 11: four was one Wayne Brown, now current Mayor of Auckland. 858 00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:16,853 Speaker 2: Again I did not know. 859 00:42:17,893 --> 00:42:21,293 Speaker 11: Yeah, and he came forth. And the other little interesting 860 00:42:21,333 --> 00:42:23,772 Speaker 11: thing was that I had a little restaurant up there 861 00:42:23,853 --> 00:42:26,853 Speaker 11: and that became the New Zealand Party headquarters for the 862 00:42:26,933 --> 00:42:31,093 Speaker 11: election night, and Wayne Brown was there and I made 863 00:42:31,173 --> 00:42:32,732 Speaker 11: sure I charged him for his meal. 864 00:42:34,173 --> 00:42:35,172 Speaker 3: What was he like back then? 865 00:42:37,333 --> 00:42:41,732 Speaker 11: Pretty much the same as now. Yeah, I don't think 866 00:42:41,773 --> 00:42:44,813 Speaker 11: he's I don't think his style of politics he was 867 00:42:44,893 --> 00:42:47,813 Speaker 11: standing for for, well, the New Zealand Party stood for 868 00:42:47,853 --> 00:42:52,253 Speaker 11: sort of a much more liberalized market and which of 869 00:42:52,253 --> 00:42:56,613 Speaker 11: course is what happened under Douglas in the end. But yeah, no, 870 00:42:57,733 --> 00:43:00,533 Speaker 11: his politics I don't and style I don't think he's changed, 871 00:43:00,653 --> 00:43:02,253 Speaker 11: probably why he got fourth then. 872 00:43:02,693 --> 00:43:06,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, well he just he absolutely smoked the election this time, 873 00:43:06,293 --> 00:43:09,573 Speaker 2: so he's come first the last two mirrors in New Zealand. 874 00:43:09,573 --> 00:43:13,893 Speaker 11: Bruce Yep, No, you're right anyway, the guys that's so 875 00:43:14,173 --> 00:43:17,493 Speaker 11: day were lungy for me, just not so much because 876 00:43:17,773 --> 00:43:20,453 Speaker 11: of David Longe himself, but more of the context of 877 00:43:20,493 --> 00:43:21,733 Speaker 11: the change that occurred. 878 00:43:22,093 --> 00:43:25,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was monumental, wasn't it. Absolutely? So 879 00:43:25,053 --> 00:43:27,693 Speaker 2: that would have been a there would have been a 880 00:43:27,813 --> 00:43:30,533 Speaker 2: would been a that would have almost been a forty 881 00:43:30,613 --> 00:43:33,693 Speaker 2: year old because how old is Wayne Brown?

Yes, Julius 938 00:45:56,493 --> 00:46:00,652 Speaker 2: Vogel and Christopher Luxon but yeah, it's not. Is it 939 00:46:00,733 --> 00:46:03,692 Speaker 2: a thing really that you get streets named after you 940 00:46:03,733 --> 00:46:05,893 Speaker 2: if you've been a politician these days, I don't think 941 00:46:05,893 --> 00:46:09,173 Speaker 2: it's the same thing. I think Julius Vogel was behind 942 00:46:09,293 --> 00:46:12,173 Speaker 2: a lot of works and he started the international borrowing 943 00:46:12,213 --> 00:46:14,253 Speaker 2: into the country was a big part of making New 944 00:46:14,373 --> 00:46:18,693 Speaker 2: Zealand global. Julius Vogel, yes, in the in the eighteenth 945 00:46:19,213 --> 00:46:22,253 Speaker 2: in eighteen seventy six. Yeah, and so he borrowed a 946 00:46:22,293 --> 00:46:23,973 Speaker 2: lot of money and built a lot of stuff. And 947 00:46:24,053 --> 00:46:25,493 Speaker 2: if you if you build a lot of stuff back 948 00:46:25,533 --> 00:46:26,373 Speaker 2: then you've got your name on. 949 00:46:26,333 --> 00:46:27,853 Speaker 3: The l you get to name it.

Oh one hundred 953 00:46:37,733 --> 00:46:38,973 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is another to call. 954 00:46:40,213 --> 00:46:42,613 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show, rob yep Hi. 955 00:46:43,773 --> 00:46:46,173 Speaker 7: I know quite a bit about Juliette Svogel and indeed 956 00:46:46,213 --> 00:46:50,413 Speaker 7: all the premiers, which is what he was during that time. 957 00:46:50,533 --> 00:46:53,933 Speaker 7: He was actually Premier about four different times during that period, 958 00:46:54,013 --> 00:46:59,573 Speaker 7: because in the eighties as well, in the eighteen eighties 959 00:47:00,053 --> 00:47:06,053 Speaker 7: with Robert Stouth, they're normally called the stout Vogel the ministries. 960 00:47:06,813 --> 00:47:08,613 Speaker 7: The thing about him was you're right, I mean he 961 00:47:08,733 --> 00:47:11,533 Speaker 7: was superb in terms of borrowing, but that in fact 962 00:47:11,573 --> 00:47:14,212 Speaker 7: sent New Zealand into the longest depression, which is from 963 00:47:14,293 --> 00:47:21,693 Speaker 7: the end of the seventies. Yeah, yeah, exactly to the 964 00:47:21,693 --> 00:47:26,173 Speaker 7: early eighteen ninety three is when it went finally ended. 965 00:47:27,093 --> 00:47:31,053 Speaker 7: My personal view, and I've sort of looked at most 966 00:47:31,093 --> 00:47:34,133 Speaker 7: of the premiers and the prime ministers over time, was 967 00:47:34,173 --> 00:47:37,253 Speaker 7: a John Balance as probably the most outstanding person. He 968 00:47:37,413 --> 00:47:39,853 Speaker 7: was the prime minister only for two years in eighteen 969 00:47:39,933 --> 00:47:42,692 Speaker 7: ninety one, for eighteen ninety three, and then he died 970 00:47:42,733 --> 00:47:45,453 Speaker 7: of cancer, but he was the first prime minister to 971 00:47:45,493 --> 00:47:50,493 Speaker 7: be a party leader. The Liberal government which Richard John 972 00:47:50,533 --> 00:47:53,413 Speaker 7: said and then took over when he died. He was 973 00:47:53,453 --> 00:47:56,653 Speaker 7: the start of that and there was really the time 974 00:47:56,973 --> 00:47:59,133 Speaker 7: of all the sort of things that people talk about 975 00:47:59,133 --> 00:48:05,733 Speaker 7: in terms of security, the various labor reforms, the woman's 976 00:48:05,733 --> 00:48:07,853 Speaker 7: suffrage and that sort of thing. So in my view, 977 00:48:07,893 --> 00:48:11,013 Speaker 7: the most Delican probably is John Balance. 978 00:48:11,133 --> 00:48:13,853 Speaker 2: So what was what was his party called at that point? 979 00:48:14,493 --> 00:48:20,533 Speaker 7: It was called the New Zealand Liberal Party, right, yeah, So, and. 980 00:48:20,533 --> 00:48:23,293 Speaker 2: Does that have a line running into a later party 981 00:48:23,373 --> 00:48:25,413 Speaker 2: or did that party sort of disappear. 982 00:48:25,613 --> 00:48:29,692 Speaker 7: Right so, but basically what happened, the more left wing 983 00:48:29,813 --> 00:48:32,453 Speaker 7: members of it ended up in the Labor Party effectively 984 00:48:32,773 --> 00:48:38,133 Speaker 7: right well well down the trap we're talking many decades later. 985 00:48:38,453 --> 00:48:42,373 Speaker 7: But then the Liberal Party itself also flowed into the 986 00:48:42,453 --> 00:48:45,172 Speaker 7: National Party and was then called the United change its 987 00:48:45,253 --> 00:48:48,053 Speaker 7: name to United Parties. So the Liberal Party has been 988 00:48:48,093 --> 00:48:53,172 Speaker 7: really significant from that point of view. And the other 989 00:48:53,213 --> 00:48:55,453 Speaker 7: party at the time was called the Reform Party or 990 00:48:55,493 --> 00:48:58,813 Speaker 7: became called that, which was the more conservative party, and 991 00:48:58,853 --> 00:49:02,933 Speaker 7: that also ended up flowing into the National Party in 992 00:49:02,973 --> 00:49:07,013 Speaker 7: nineteen thirty six when the National Party was formed. Fascinating, Yeah, 993 00:49:07,613 --> 00:49:13,212 Speaker 7: that's it. Also very briefly I knew Jim Bolger. Jim 994 00:49:13,253 --> 00:49:16,893 Speaker 7: was a Catholic, which I am not, but because of that, 995 00:49:16,973 --> 00:49:21,573 Speaker 7: he had some quite interesting social justice views. And one 996 00:49:21,613 --> 00:49:24,173 Speaker 7: of the things that I remember was that he was 997 00:49:24,613 --> 00:49:27,493 Speaker 7: unusually because he was around while Doon at the time, 998 00:49:27,693 --> 00:49:33,453 Speaker 7: but he was very anti the Springbok tour and there 999 00:49:33,493 --> 00:49:36,933 Speaker 7: was quite a challenge for him because he was the 1000 00:49:37,053 --> 00:49:39,453 Speaker 7: MP for King Country, which were very very strong in 1001 00:49:39,573 --> 00:49:42,653 Speaker 7: terms of pro tour, and he was quite magnificent in 1002 00:49:42,733 --> 00:49:47,133 Speaker 7: the way in which he very quietly sort of went 1003 00:49:47,213 --> 00:49:50,533 Speaker 7: down that view, but he was very anti tour. He 1004 00:49:50,653 --> 00:49:54,173 Speaker 7: was also very pro Mari settlement when he was the 1005 00:49:54,213 --> 00:49:58,853 Speaker 7: Prime minister and many of the Doug Graham that reforms 1006 00:49:59,373 --> 00:50:04,013 Speaker 7: that occurred with the settlements then were because of him 1007 00:50:04,053 --> 00:50:05,493 Speaker 7: pushing away in the background. 1008 00:50:05,613 --> 00:50:09,293 Speaker 2: So it's interesting, isn't it, because he when you know Post, 1009 00:50:09,933 --> 00:50:14,093 Speaker 2: you know his political career obviously, you know, the left 1010 00:50:14,173 --> 00:50:16,853 Speaker 2: leaning members of Parliament had a lot of faith in 1011 00:50:16,893 --> 00:50:19,293 Speaker 2: him because he was put in charge of ensied Post 1012 00:50:19,333 --> 00:50:22,732 Speaker 2: and Kiwibank. Yes, so he had he had he had 1013 00:50:22,733 --> 00:50:26,013 Speaker 2: fans on that side of the aisle absolutely. 1014 00:50:26,133 --> 00:50:28,652 Speaker 7: I mean in many ways he's pets wee, but like 1015 00:50:28,973 --> 00:50:31,813 Speaker 7: Malcolm Fraser and that once he stopped being Prime Minister 1016 00:50:32,613 --> 00:50:36,693 Speaker 7: he sort of became much more sort of broad minded 1017 00:50:36,933 --> 00:50:43,093 Speaker 7: and in some of the National Party ministers afterwards after 1018 00:50:43,173 --> 00:50:47,493 Speaker 7: stopping prime minister and had retired from politics, went very 1019 00:50:47,573 --> 00:50:49,212 Speaker 7: keen on him. I mean they went for a keen 1020 00:50:49,293 --> 00:50:53,533 Speaker 7: on him becoming the kW Bank chair for example, first 1021 00:50:53,573 --> 00:50:55,333 Speaker 7: for New Zealand. He did a great job. So he 1022 00:50:56,173 --> 00:50:59,133 Speaker 7: was a very fine person. I guess the other comment 1023 00:50:59,213 --> 00:51:01,333 Speaker 7: just from all the names coming in there are some 1024 00:51:01,373 --> 00:51:02,853 Speaker 7: of the names that have come in that I think 1025 00:51:02,893 --> 00:51:06,613 Speaker 7: were very fine New Zealand politicians like Walter Nash, but 1026 00:51:06,653 --> 00:51:09,573 Speaker 7: were not good prime ministers. Walter Nash, in my view, 1027 00:51:09,693 --> 00:51:11,453 Speaker 7: was not a good prime minister, but he was an 1028 00:51:11,453 --> 00:51:12,693 Speaker 7: outstanding politician. 1029 00:51:12,813 --> 00:51:14,133 Speaker 3: Why wasn't he a good prime minister? 1030 00:51:14,213 --> 00:51:14,893 Speaker 2: The Black Budget? 1031 00:51:15,573 --> 00:51:15,772 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1032 00:51:17,893 --> 00:51:20,213 Speaker 7: Yeah, Partly. The other thing was that what he was 1033 00:51:20,493 --> 00:51:22,173 Speaker 7: he was quite old about time. He was in the 1034 00:51:22,213 --> 00:51:26,172 Speaker 7: seventies when he became Prime minister. But but but he 1035 00:51:26,213 --> 00:51:29,613 Speaker 7: was a competent Minister of finance. He was a person 1036 00:51:29,613 --> 00:51:32,133 Speaker 7: who kept every single receipt that he got. And he's 1037 00:51:32,533 --> 00:51:36,333 Speaker 7: just famous apparently in his garage or the garage to 1038 00:51:36,333 --> 00:51:38,093 Speaker 7: the people that he that he used to live with. 1039 00:51:38,853 --> 00:51:43,173 Speaker 7: You know, there were just box off the box of 1040 00:51:43,373 --> 00:51:46,613 Speaker 7: paper and receipts and things and bus tickets and so on. 1041 00:51:46,693 --> 00:51:48,493 Speaker 7: You know, he was that sort of person. Yeah. 1042 00:51:49,013 --> 00:51:50,732 Speaker 2: So you know, it's great to do with someone that's 1043 00:51:50,733 --> 00:51:55,733 Speaker 2: obviously so incredibly knowledgeable about all our our leaders. So 1044 00:51:55,933 --> 00:51:58,173 Speaker 2: someone that people are texting in a lot as Michael 1045 00:51:58,253 --> 00:52:01,252 Speaker 2: Joseph Savage. Yeah, so how do you look at him 1046 00:52:01,733 --> 00:52:06,173 Speaker 2: in terms of where he sits as most important or 1047 00:52:06,173 --> 00:52:07,093 Speaker 2: significant leaders? 1048 00:52:07,653 --> 00:52:10,613 Speaker 7: Right from the FAAL point of view, very very strong. 1049 00:52:10,653 --> 00:52:14,933 Speaker 7: A lot of people still, people in their nineties, will 1050 00:52:14,973 --> 00:52:18,493 Speaker 7: still have his photograph up on their wars, and I 1051 00:52:18,533 --> 00:52:21,413 Speaker 7: think Peter Fraser was the more important person from a 1052 00:52:21,453 --> 00:52:25,573 Speaker 7: New Zealand point of view. With respect, I know people 1053 00:52:25,613 --> 00:52:28,533 Speaker 7: find was hard to believe, but Savage took over when 1054 00:52:28,573 --> 00:52:33,773 Speaker 7: the economy was beginning to come right, and he also died. 1055 00:52:33,813 --> 00:52:36,213 Speaker 7: I mean he was hated by John A. Lee and 1056 00:52:36,533 --> 00:52:42,373 Speaker 7: that they had terrible problems and Savage of cancer he died, 1057 00:52:42,453 --> 00:52:45,053 Speaker 7: so I mean, quite rightly, he died a hero. But 1058 00:52:45,533 --> 00:52:50,573 Speaker 7: I personally think that that Savage is the stronger leader, 1059 00:52:51,133 --> 00:52:53,733 Speaker 7: partly because he was also the Prime Minister during the 1060 00:52:53,773 --> 00:52:58,013 Speaker 7: war and he did a very good job there. I mean, 1061 00:52:58,053 --> 00:53:03,493 Speaker 7: he had been jailed for not joining up in the 1062 00:53:03,493 --> 00:53:06,333 Speaker 7: First World War and ended up being the prime minister 1063 00:53:06,373 --> 00:53:07,573 Speaker 7: in the Second World Wow that. 1064 00:53:07,693 --> 00:53:10,133 Speaker 2: You would feel like would stand against you quite. 1065 00:53:10,373 --> 00:53:13,613 Speaker 7: Quite yeah, well, I mean it did for quite a while. 1066 00:53:13,653 --> 00:53:17,772 Speaker 7: But I think in fairness that he regarded. I mean, 1067 00:53:17,973 --> 00:53:21,693 Speaker 7: my view would be that Peter Fraser, from the left, 1068 00:53:21,933 --> 00:53:28,053 Speaker 7: is the strongest prime minister that we probably had. Their 1069 00:53:28,133 --> 00:53:31,133 Speaker 7: balance was probably from from the middle, and in my 1070 00:53:31,253 --> 00:53:33,893 Speaker 7: personal view, not many people would agree is that sid 1071 00:53:33,933 --> 00:53:38,453 Speaker 7: Holland was probably the strongest one from the from the right, 1072 00:53:38,813 --> 00:53:41,453 Speaker 7: partly because he was the first National Party Prime minister 1073 00:53:42,173 --> 00:53:45,293 Speaker 7: and he also stebbed a National Party and what was 1074 00:53:45,453 --> 00:53:48,652 Speaker 7: to become a very arm period of control. We talked 1075 00:53:48,653 --> 00:53:51,853 Speaker 7: about Nash being PM from fifty seven to sixty, as 1076 00:53:51,893 --> 00:53:55,613 Speaker 7: you said, but other than that, it was National for 1077 00:53:55,653 --> 00:53:59,732 Speaker 7: a long long time, settling off with sid Holland and 1078 00:54:00,173 --> 00:54:08,333 Speaker 7: so late forties, end of fifties year. So what I'm 1079 00:54:09,293 --> 00:54:12,093 Speaker 7: I think Fraser was a stronger PM than him. But 1080 00:54:12,133 --> 00:54:14,053 Speaker 7: what I'm saying is that from the right, that would 1081 00:54:14,093 --> 00:54:16,493 Speaker 7: be my view as the name I mean, the be 1082 00:54:16,533 --> 00:54:19,053 Speaker 7: others that would have totally different views from that. 1083 00:54:19,333 --> 00:54:21,933 Speaker 2: And before before I let you go, Rob, just quickly 1084 00:54:22,213 --> 00:54:26,653 Speaker 2: your knowledge, which is obviously vast of New Zealand politics, 1085 00:54:26,693 --> 00:54:29,573 Speaker 2: is that a professional or an amateur interest. 1086 00:54:30,533 --> 00:54:33,893 Speaker 7: It's mainly amateur. Very briefly, the prime minister who's not 1087 00:54:34,013 --> 00:54:38,053 Speaker 7: regarded highly from nineteen thirty to thirty five was George Forbes. 1088 00:54:38,533 --> 00:54:41,413 Speaker 7: And George Forbes was my great uncle or great grand uncle, 1089 00:54:41,853 --> 00:54:43,893 Speaker 7: and so I'm actually writing a book on him, and 1090 00:54:43,933 --> 00:54:46,093 Speaker 7: because of that, well I had to do is basically 1091 00:54:46,173 --> 00:54:49,573 Speaker 7: look at all the premierers because just just at the 1092 00:54:49,613 --> 00:54:52,212 Speaker 7: time which he was born in which he covered, so 1093 00:54:52,373 --> 00:54:54,812 Speaker 7: I tend to know. I mean the first premier wasn't 1094 00:54:54,813 --> 00:54:58,333 Speaker 7: about approximately eighteen fifty five, but like with Henry Sewell, 1095 00:54:58,853 --> 00:55:04,093 Speaker 7: and he lasted two weeks premier. Yeah. So first of all, 1096 00:55:04,093 --> 00:55:08,613 Speaker 7: they were called normally colle neal secretaries up until about 1097 00:55:08,653 --> 00:55:11,933 Speaker 7: the eighteen seventies and they became premiers. And then when 1098 00:55:12,613 --> 00:55:16,813 Speaker 7: Richard John Seddon came in halfway during his long term 1099 00:55:16,853 --> 00:55:19,413 Speaker 7: he was the longest serving of the prime ministers, he 1100 00:55:19,453 --> 00:55:22,173 Speaker 7: started calling himself prime minister because he had gone to 1101 00:55:22,333 --> 00:55:25,573 Speaker 7: Queen Victoria's jubilee and all the leading ones from Canada 1102 00:55:25,693 --> 00:55:28,453 Speaker 7: and Australia were called prime ministers, so he decided to 1103 00:55:28,813 --> 00:55:30,573 Speaker 7: call himself prime minister as well. 1104 00:55:30,973 --> 00:55:32,172 Speaker 2: I mean, well, thank you so much. 1105 00:55:32,413 --> 00:55:32,573 Speaker 8: Rob. 1106 00:55:32,573 --> 00:55:33,933 Speaker 2: We're just going to go to an air break, but 1107 00:55:33,933 --> 00:55:36,373 Speaker 2: I'll look out for that book.

I think I remember there was a phase 1160 00:57:52,413 --> 00:57:56,373 Speaker 23: when we went for wearing three piece suits, very very 1161 00:57:56,373 --> 00:58:00,853 Speaker 23: business like.

You know, this 1165 00:58:07,733 --> 00:58:10,293 Speaker 23: guy is our prime minister.

He was. 1168 00:58:19,013 --> 00:58:23,933 Speaker 2: He was brilliant. Have you listened to that podcast called Juggernaut, 1169 00:58:26,013 --> 00:58:27,853 Speaker 2: you'd probably really enjoy it. It's the it's the eighty 1170 00:58:27,853 --> 00:58:30,933 Speaker 2: four election and that whole long e time and Roger 1171 00:58:30,973 --> 00:58:33,533 Speaker 2: Nomics and stuff, and they've got lots of audio of 1172 00:58:33,573 --> 00:58:35,813 Speaker 2: his stand ups. He just basically came out and held court, 1173 00:58:35,853 --> 00:58:37,173 Speaker 2: didn't he with the media? 1174 00:58:37,253 --> 00:58:39,613 Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, very And he was a lawyer, as a 1175 00:58:39,613 --> 00:58:42,173 Speaker 23: lot of than are, and he was very quick wit 1176 00:58:42,293 --> 00:58:44,253 Speaker 23: and he was he was a great debater in the house. 1177 00:58:45,413 --> 00:58:48,173 Speaker 23: But unfortunately there were fractions in developing in the end 1178 00:58:49,093 --> 00:58:51,133 Speaker 23: in the late eighties after they won in eighty seven, 1179 00:58:51,573 --> 00:58:55,293 Speaker 23: and then the fraction going on, particularly with with Douglas 1180 00:58:55,333 --> 00:58:58,413 Speaker 23: and Prebble, and like I heard you say before that 1181 00:58:58,453 --> 00:59:00,693 Speaker 23: he didn't like a confrontation.

We don't know, we've we've come 1200 00:59:46,253 --> 00:59:50,013 Speaker 2: through COVID pretty poorly in an economic scale, but we 1201 00:59:50,053 --> 00:59:51,413 Speaker 2: came through the GFC pretty well. 1202 00:59:51,493 --> 00:59:51,773 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1203 00:59:52,453 --> 00:59:54,253 Speaker 23: And I we're just making other comment. There was a 1204 00:59:54,293 --> 00:59:57,533 Speaker 23: caller earlier before the break that mentioned a deficit of 1205 00:59:57,613 --> 00:59:59,013 Speaker 23: three billion dollars and I thought, oh my god, I 1206 00:59:59,013 --> 01:00:01,813 Speaker 23: wouldn't it be wonderful had a deficit of three billion? 1207 01:00:02,293 --> 01:00:05,533 Speaker 23: We paid three times that much just an interest on 1208 01:00:05,573 --> 01:00:10,093 Speaker 23: the deficit three billion dollar deficits like it's like nothing now, 1209 01:00:11,173 --> 01:00:12,253 Speaker 23: But then. 1210 01:00:12,173 --> 01:00:15,213 Speaker 2: Again, when when Joseph Joseph Vogel was running up three 1211 01:00:15,213 --> 01:00:17,853 Speaker 2: billion dollars, three billion dollars was a very different three billion. 1212 01:00:18,893 --> 01:00:23,413 Speaker 23: That was what went back then. Yeah, holy Oaks.

It's made New Zealand a relatively 1316 01:05:39,733 --> 01:05:42,333 Speaker 15: egalitarian state, which is all good. 1317 01:05:43,333 --> 01:05:44,373 Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you. 1318 01:05:44,413 --> 01:05:46,653 Speaker 3: No, not far enough, too short and sharp. I mean, 1319 01:05:46,693 --> 01:05:49,613 Speaker 3: certainly that's what Savage is promoted for, for laying the 1320 01:05:49,613 --> 01:05:53,253 Speaker 3: groundwork for the welfare state, which look some would push 1321 01:05:53,333 --> 01:05:54,973 Speaker 3: back on, but for a lot of people out there 1322 01:05:54,973 --> 01:05:57,533 Speaker 3: that's certainly been a lifeline. 1323 01:05:57,813 --> 01:05:59,653 Speaker 2: You do not have the right to decide what the 1324 01:05:59,653 --> 01:06:01,453 Speaker 2: Prime Minister wants to be called. You need to set 1325 01:06:01,493 --> 01:06:03,973 Speaker 2: an example to all when addressing him.

You met Jim Bolder a couple 1355 01:07:26,373 --> 01:07:28,813 Speaker 2: of times. 1356 01:07:29,173 --> 01:07:33,653 Speaker 25: Yeah, a family member was in the National Party in 1357 01:07:33,693 --> 01:07:37,053 Speaker 25: the king Country and when that family member passed away, 1358 01:07:38,213 --> 01:07:42,253 Speaker 25: Jim and Joanes came to maturitimt Equity for the funeral 1359 01:07:42,613 --> 01:07:46,773 Speaker 25: and I can remember speaking to him personally and he 1360 01:07:47,093 --> 01:07:49,133 Speaker 25: shook my hand, looking me in the eye and said 1361 01:07:49,173 --> 01:07:53,373 Speaker 25: if you can be anything like your family member who's deceased. 1362 01:07:53,413 --> 01:07:54,453 Speaker 25: You'll go a long way. 1363 01:07:54,853 --> 01:07:55,133 Speaker 13: Wow. 1364 01:07:55,173 --> 01:08:02,053 Speaker 25: Now, very humble man, big family, farming stock and really 1365 01:08:02,333 --> 01:08:05,653 Speaker 25: just a good, good, all round person. And I think 1366 01:08:05,693 --> 01:08:09,053 Speaker 25: if it was thirty years ago, if you look back, 1367 01:08:09,093 --> 01:08:13,413 Speaker 25: what he's done since nineteen ninety five and to what 1368 01:08:13,493 --> 01:08:17,773 Speaker 25: he's done today when he left politics, his actual impact 1369 01:08:18,093 --> 01:08:21,652 Speaker 25: like the things like Kiwi Bank, which is no secret 1370 01:08:21,693 --> 01:08:25,253 Speaker 25: the National Party didn't like Kiwi Bank, but we all 1371 01:08:25,333 --> 01:08:29,053 Speaker 25: now think bloody Hells in competition against the Bigaussis is 1372 01:08:29,053 --> 01:08:31,973 Speaker 25: a good thing. You know, we're actually proud of a 1373 01:08:32,013 --> 01:08:35,452 Speaker 25: little Kiwi Bank that lean against the big Aussies. But 1374 01:08:36,372 --> 01:08:40,933 Speaker 25: Jim's probably biggest mark was with Sir Douglas Graham and 1375 01:08:41,133 --> 01:08:45,293 Speaker 25: collectively they've done more for EWI than anybody else. With 1376 01:08:45,452 --> 01:08:50,132 Speaker 25: the treaty settlement process. You might remember Matt the billion 1377 01:08:50,173 --> 01:08:52,253 Speaker 25: dollar try and say to all the claims for a 1378 01:08:52,333 --> 01:08:57,053 Speaker 25: billion dollars in nineteen ninety six and what that's now 1379 01:08:57,173 --> 01:09:01,892 Speaker 25: transpired onto in terms of the Mari economy, Ni Tahoo chainy, 1380 01:09:02,133 --> 01:09:06,973 Speaker 25: big big settlements and their distribution of wealth and what 1381 01:09:07,133 --> 01:09:12,293 Speaker 25: that wealth has created in terms of young marries, people 1382 01:09:12,412 --> 01:09:16,092 Speaker 25: going to universities, free fees and what it will become. 1383 01:09:16,333 --> 01:09:21,213 Speaker 25: It'll become how key we savor for ewie population in 1384 01:09:21,253 --> 01:09:26,012 Speaker 25: the future and redress in terms of forestry and fishing assets. 1385 01:09:26,093 --> 01:09:30,452 Speaker 25: So I think hugely impactful. Didn't seem it at the time, 1386 01:09:31,053 --> 01:09:34,133 Speaker 25: but it's a little bit like when John Key rolled 1387 01:09:34,173 --> 01:09:38,293 Speaker 25: out ultra fliber broadband. We're all trying to forget that 1388 01:09:38,412 --> 01:09:42,213 Speaker 25: with ultra Fliber broadband over COVID lockdown. We talked to 1389 01:09:42,333 --> 01:09:45,652 Speaker 25: everybody and are set up companies like zero to do 1390 01:09:45,853 --> 01:09:48,052 Speaker 25: business all around the world while we're locked down. 1391 01:09:48,452 --> 01:09:50,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a such a good point. You know 1392 01:09:50,772 --> 01:09:53,052 Speaker 2: what you set up hardly ever, I mean the really 1393 01:09:53,053 --> 01:09:56,692 Speaker 2: big stuff doesn't come into fruition while you're still in 1394 01:09:56,772 --> 01:09:58,812 Speaker 2: the role. I mean, if it's really significant, you don't 1395 01:09:58,853 --> 01:10:01,012 Speaker 2: see as a previous call I said, you don't really 1396 01:10:01,013 --> 01:10:04,133 Speaker 2: see the fruits of it for many many years to come.

He would have been 1401 01:10:15,532 --> 01:10:17,893 Speaker 2: a brilliant PM. If Winston had played him with a 1402 01:10:17,933 --> 01:10:21,932 Speaker 2: straight bat. His understanding of policy impact was second to none. 1403 01:10:21,973 --> 01:10:25,013 Speaker 3: She is a great, very good politician. So Bill English, Oh, 1404 01:10:25,093 --> 01:10:27,372 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to 1405 01:10:27,452 --> 01:10:29,652 Speaker 3: call nine to nine to if you want to send 1406 01:10:29,652 --> 01:10:32,173 Speaker 3: a text Lee, welcome to the show. 1407 01:10:33,253 --> 01:10:36,012 Speaker 8: Oh hi guys, I always teak too, but it cost 1408 01:10:36,093 --> 01:10:38,173 Speaker 8: me too much over I want to join, and I've 1409 01:10:38,173 --> 01:10:42,492 Speaker 8: got a ring I suppose on you.

I thought he 1452 01:13:16,133 --> 01:13:18,293 Speaker 8: was quite a character. It said that he went the 1453 01:13:18,293 --> 01:13:22,732 Speaker 8: way he did that, I'd say, don Key was up 1454 01:13:22,732 --> 01:13:25,572 Speaker 8: there and used to follow him and take photos of him. 1455 01:13:25,893 --> 01:13:28,693 Speaker 8: I always found his body language very interesting. 1456 01:13:30,093 --> 01:13:31,652 Speaker 3: You used to follow him and take photos of him, 1457 01:13:31,692 --> 01:13:33,652 Speaker 3: did you say, Lee, Yeah. 1458 01:13:33,492 --> 01:13:37,253 Speaker 8: Because I was. I was quite political for the labor 1459 01:13:37,532 --> 01:13:38,492 Speaker 8: side of things, you know. 1460 01:13:39,213 --> 01:13:42,892 Speaker 2: I see, so you followed him legally he went stalking. 1461 01:13:43,893 --> 01:13:46,052 Speaker 8: Oh no, no, no, no, no. I'm sure he knew 1462 01:13:46,053 --> 01:13:48,052 Speaker 8: I was there because when I'm looking from my photos, 1463 01:13:48,093 --> 01:13:48,572 Speaker 8: he's looking. 1464 01:13:50,213 --> 01:13:50,612 Speaker 3: That's good. 1465 01:13:50,812 --> 01:13:52,133 Speaker 2: That's a good signing as there. 1466 01:13:53,133 --> 01:13:56,093 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's too security caster. I just want to say 1467 01:13:56,133 --> 01:14:00,213 Speaker 8: this conversation, I hope whoever listening to this, who all 1468 01:14:00,372 --> 01:14:03,452 Speaker 8: the thousands who are listening to this. I just remember 1469 01:14:03,532 --> 01:14:06,933 Speaker 8: who started New Zealand right and how it developed, and 1470 01:14:07,452 --> 01:14:11,093 Speaker 8: it seems to me we're going back probably two generations 1471 01:14:11,133 --> 01:14:17,772 Speaker 8: at the moment of neglecting infrastructure water. So I hope 1472 01:14:17,853 --> 01:14:21,932 Speaker 8: Chrys relucton because I'm going to be controversial here. I've 1473 01:14:22,053 --> 01:14:28,412 Speaker 8: just kept Charon McNulty saying twenty twenty nine is when 1474 01:14:28,492 --> 01:14:33,692 Speaker 8: Labor gets back in unless they drop to party multi party, 1475 01:14:33,853 --> 01:14:35,973 Speaker 8: because I will not vote them. So I'm going to 1476 01:14:36,053 --> 01:14:38,892 Speaker 8: be very political on that. Trump, But I do believe 1477 01:14:39,532 --> 01:14:42,932 Speaker 8: Chris Flucton will see us through till at least twenty 1478 01:14:43,013 --> 01:14:43,692 Speaker 8: twenty nine. 1479 01:14:44,213 --> 01:14:46,572 Speaker 2: There you go.

It's just a yeah. 1483 01:14:56,772 --> 01:14:58,293 Speaker 3: That would have been quite confronting for a lot of 1484 01:14:58,333 --> 01:15:03,572 Speaker 3: New Zealanders.

So let's 1550 01:18:33,532 --> 01:18:36,612 Speaker 3: get into this one. Once considered taboo or fringe, open 1551 01:18:36,652 --> 01:18:40,572 Speaker 3: relationships are entice are entering the mainstream. I've got to say. 1552 01:18:40,973 --> 01:18:44,413 Speaker 3: With a growing number of people challenging traditional ideas of monogamy. 1553 01:18:44,412 --> 01:18:47,892 Speaker 3: According to a recent UGOV survey, one in four people, 1554 01:18:47,933 --> 01:18:51,933 Speaker 3: twenty five percent say they've been involved in a nonmonogamous 1555 01:18:52,013 --> 01:18:54,532 Speaker 3: relationship at some point in their lives. Will forty three 1556 01:18:54,612 --> 01:18:57,333 Speaker 3: percent of millennials say they're open to the idea. In 1557 01:18:57,372 --> 01:19:00,133 Speaker 3: New Zealand, studies suggests that up to fifteen percent of 1558 01:19:00,133 --> 01:19:05,293 Speaker 3: couples have either tried or currently practiced consensual open relationships. 1559 01:19:05,412 --> 01:19:07,572 Speaker 2: Wow, so this is a real u turn of topics, 1560 01:19:07,612 --> 01:19:09,852 Speaker 2: isn't it It is? I don't know one ad a 1561 01:19:10,053 --> 01:19:14,852 Speaker 2: sharp stop, a right turn. So we're going from most 1562 01:19:14,893 --> 01:19:24,093 Speaker 2: impactful Prime Minister of all time to polygamy only the bees. Polyomory, polyomory, polygamy, No, 1563 01:19:24,173 --> 01:19:28,932 Speaker 2: I think it's polyamory. Polygamy is when polygamy is when 1564 01:19:28,973 --> 01:19:30,012 Speaker 2: you have multiple wives. 1565 01:19:30,293 --> 01:19:30,652 Speaker 15: Ah. 1566 01:19:30,853 --> 01:19:34,652 Speaker 2: Right, polyamory means just loving lots of different people. 1567 01:19:34,692 --> 01:19:37,173 Speaker 3: It's good to clarify that before we get into this discussion. 1568 01:19:37,173 --> 01:19:39,973 Speaker 3: And that's important. But it has a bit but it 1569 01:19:40,013 --> 01:19:44,213 Speaker 3: has been called c n M. Isn't it consensual non monogamy? 1570 01:19:44,372 --> 01:19:48,412 Speaker 3: So interesting that it is becoming more and more of 1571 01:19:48,412 --> 01:19:48,732 Speaker 3: a thing. 1572 01:19:49,053 --> 01:19:51,372 Speaker 2: Is it possible? Is it even possible to pull that up? 1573 01:19:51,452 --> 01:19:54,652 Speaker 2: I mean things can happen bigger partner things can happen, 1574 01:19:56,893 --> 01:19:59,612 Speaker 2: you know, over a six month period, a one night, 1575 01:19:59,812 --> 01:20:04,013 Speaker 2: six months a year. Is it possible to have this 1576 01:20:04,133 --> 01:20:07,173 Speaker 2: kind of thing going on for a long time? And 1577 01:20:07,452 --> 01:20:10,973 Speaker 2: if your partner came to you, Tyler and said I 1578 01:20:10,973 --> 01:20:14,612 Speaker 2: am interested in an open relationship, what would you say. 1579 01:20:14,612 --> 01:20:19,732 Speaker 3: I'd say I'm listening. No, I'd say, hell no, I 1580 01:20:19,812 --> 01:20:21,772 Speaker 3: just don't think that could work. I just think that's 1581 01:20:21,812 --> 01:20:23,012 Speaker 3: a recipe for disaster. 1582 01:20:23,333 --> 01:20:25,973 Speaker 2: What if she said, I'm open to you having an 1583 01:20:26,013 --> 01:20:28,693 Speaker 2: open relationship, but I'm just going to stay monogamous. 1584 01:20:28,732 --> 01:20:31,652 Speaker 3: Oh that's very different, isn't it. That's very generous to her. 1585 01:20:31,732 --> 01:20:34,093 Speaker 2: That doesn't seem to be the conversation anyone seems to 1586 01:20:34,133 --> 01:20:37,333 Speaker 2: have when they well, actually that's not true. There's a 1587 01:20:37,333 --> 01:20:40,372 Speaker 2: few texts coming through and that I won't read out 1588 01:20:40,372 --> 01:20:43,412 Speaker 2: there there is there's there's people that are into everything. 1589 01:20:43,492 --> 01:20:44,492 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true. 1590 01:20:44,532 --> 01:20:46,412 Speaker 2: But what does it mean for property law? 1591 01:20:47,333 --> 01:20:47,932 Speaker 3: Good question? 1592 01:20:48,213 --> 01:20:50,892 Speaker 2: If it becomes a serious thing, If you have three 1593 01:20:50,933 --> 01:20:54,052 Speaker 2: people in a relationship and it becomes a serious thing. 1594 01:20:54,093 --> 01:20:56,093 Speaker 3: Well they would have rights, wouldn't they? I imagine if 1595 01:20:56,093 --> 01:20:57,012 Speaker 3: it's long enough. 1596 01:20:57,293 --> 01:20:59,333 Speaker 2: But I guess the question is here. Oh wait, one 1597 01:20:59,412 --> 01:21:02,133 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty is it ever possible to 1598 01:21:02,253 --> 01:21:07,372 Speaker 2: run a successful open marriage or open relationship? Has that 1599 01:21:07,612 --> 01:21:13,253 Speaker 2: ever been successfully achieved? Because I think on a lot 1600 01:21:13,293 --> 01:21:15,093 Speaker 2: of occasions, you might go out and go I want 1601 01:21:15,133 --> 01:21:18,452 Speaker 2: an open relationship, then your missus is yeah, okay, let's 1602 01:21:18,452 --> 01:21:20,093 Speaker 2: do it. And then suddenly your missus is getting a 1603 01:21:20,093 --> 01:21:21,652 Speaker 2: lot of action, you're not getting any at all, and 1604 01:21:21,692 --> 01:21:25,013 Speaker 2: then maybe you turn against the open relationship. Imagine it's 1605 01:21:25,013 --> 01:21:27,213 Speaker 2: pretty I think a lot of people sit in relationships 1606 01:21:27,213 --> 01:21:28,892 Speaker 2: and think, oh, there's so many people that are into me. 1607 01:21:29,372 --> 01:21:32,293 Speaker 2: Oh my god. If I just was single, imagine how 1608 01:21:32,293 --> 01:21:34,492 Speaker 2: many people would be into me, and then they've become 1609 01:21:34,532 --> 01:21:37,213 Speaker 2: single and they realize they were all imentioninary people and 1610 01:21:37,333 --> 01:21:37,972 Speaker 2: no one's int here. 1611 01:21:38,093 --> 01:21:40,972 Speaker 3: The reality doesn't work out. Oh, eight, one hundred eighty 1612 01:21:41,013 --> 01:21:44,493 Speaker 3: ten eighty curious too, If you've undertaken an open relationship, 1613 01:21:44,692 --> 01:21:46,572 Speaker 3: how did it work and did it work out in 1614 01:21:46,612 --> 01:21:49,053 Speaker 3: the long run? Are you currently in an open relationship? 1615 01:21:49,293 --> 01:21:51,892 Speaker 3: Nine two ninety two is the text number. We've also 1616 01:21:51,933 --> 01:21:53,692 Speaker 3: got to say. The idea of taking a break, I 1617 01:21:53,732 --> 01:21:57,173 Speaker 3: know that is pretty common with couples, but that, to me, 1618 01:21:57,253 --> 01:21:59,133 Speaker 3: I think would even be too much that if there was, 1619 01:21:59,253 --> 01:22:01,933 Speaker 3: you know, a bit of trouble in the relationship and 1620 01:22:01,973 --> 01:22:04,052 Speaker 3: then there was that conversation we should take a break 1621 01:22:04,053 --> 01:22:06,452 Speaker 3: for three months and go and do whatever we want 1622 01:22:06,452 --> 01:22:08,173 Speaker 3: to do and then come back at the end of 1623 01:22:08,213 --> 01:22:09,892 Speaker 3: the and see if we can figure things out. 1624 01:22:09,973 --> 01:22:12,333 Speaker 2: Even that, to me, it'll be like, I don't know 1625 01:22:12,333 --> 01:22:14,293 Speaker 2: if I can play that game. Let's break up for 1626 01:22:14,333 --> 01:22:16,412 Speaker 2: three months, go off and do whatever you want to 1627 01:22:16,452 --> 01:22:18,492 Speaker 2: do for three months, and then let's argue about what 1628 01:22:18,572 --> 01:22:20,812 Speaker 2: you did for three months for the rest of our life. Yeah, yeah, 1629 01:22:20,893 --> 01:22:23,492 Speaker 2: it sounds about right. It sounds beang on. If someone 1630 01:22:23,492 --> 01:22:25,412 Speaker 2: wants to have an open relationship. Does that mean that 1631 01:22:25,452 --> 01:22:28,572 Speaker 2: they don't love you as much as they did? Is 1632 01:22:29,333 --> 01:22:31,372 Speaker 2: that what it means? Or Am I just taking a 1633 01:22:31,492 --> 01:22:35,372 Speaker 2: very immature approach to something that's more complicated than that. 1634 01:22:35,372 --> 01:22:40,333 Speaker 2: That now has a name consensual non monogamy. Yeah, because 1635 01:22:40,372 --> 01:22:43,492 Speaker 2: these people say the important part is the consensual because 1636 01:22:44,213 --> 01:22:47,492 Speaker 2: of course, because if you're running a non monogamous relationship. 1637 01:22:47,692 --> 01:22:50,412 Speaker 2: In a monogamous relationship, that's called cheating. Yeah, yeah, spot, 1638 01:22:50,973 --> 01:22:52,852 Speaker 2: Have you en't been honest about it? That's called cheating, 1639 01:22:52,893 --> 01:22:53,213 Speaker 2: isn't it? 1640 01:22:53,253 --> 01:22:55,612 Speaker 3: Come on through? Oh, one hundred eighty ten eighty is 1641 01:22:55,652 --> 01:22:58,412 Speaker 3: the number to call love to hear from you your experiences, 1642 01:22:58,492 --> 01:23:01,492 Speaker 3: has it worked for you, and has it fixed potentially 1643 01:23:01,532 --> 01:23:03,732 Speaker 3: a relationship that may be on the rocks.

I want to change jobs. I've 1733 01:27:38,732 --> 01:27:41,372 Speaker 26: been doing this job for twenty twenty years. I want 1734 01:27:41,412 --> 01:27:44,333 Speaker 26: to change jobs. Sure it's a slightly different to a job. 1735 01:27:44,372 --> 01:27:46,132 Speaker 26: But you don't own that person. 1736 01:27:46,213 --> 01:27:48,772 Speaker 2: What about after a marriage, Like, if you're married, though, 1737 01:27:48,893 --> 01:27:51,372 Speaker 2: haven't you made a commitment to just be with that 1738 01:27:51,372 --> 01:27:55,652 Speaker 2: that one person and have them be the subject of 1739 01:27:55,692 --> 01:27:57,053 Speaker 2: your attentions. 1740 01:27:57,333 --> 01:28:01,532 Speaker 26: Through through thick and thin? Yeah, through whatever, you know, 1741 01:28:01,572 --> 01:28:06,173 Speaker 26: but ever, I mean, it's a you know, I think 1742 01:28:06,213 --> 01:28:09,892 Speaker 26: it's I still stand by, you know, whether you're married 1743 01:28:09,973 --> 01:28:12,372 Speaker 26: or not, I still stand by. You can still celebrate 1744 01:28:12,372 --> 01:28:14,852 Speaker 26: marriage in the other ways, yep, But I think if 1745 01:28:15,492 --> 01:28:16,852 Speaker 26: you do, you think, do. 1746 01:28:16,732 --> 01:28:18,732 Speaker 2: You think you could handle it? Mike though, because my 1747 01:28:19,013 --> 01:28:22,532 Speaker 2: I question and maybe I agree with you on like, 1748 01:28:22,612 --> 01:28:25,772 Speaker 2: let's say, on a philosophical level, but I don't think 1749 01:28:25,893 --> 01:28:30,093 Speaker 2: I maybe I'm not big enough for whatever. I don't 1750 01:28:30,093 --> 01:28:34,333 Speaker 2: mean like that. I may maybe I'm not like emotionally 1751 01:28:34,492 --> 01:28:38,532 Speaker 2: powerful enough, but I wouldn't go for it. I'll be like, no, 1752 01:28:38,732 --> 01:28:40,133 Speaker 2: this is over. If you if you want, if you 1753 01:28:40,133 --> 01:28:42,892 Speaker 2: want to be with other people, then then then that's 1754 01:28:42,893 --> 01:28:43,492 Speaker 2: a different thing. 1755 01:28:45,093 --> 01:28:48,093 Speaker 26: I think. Yeah, I think I could always I've had 1756 01:28:48,652 --> 01:28:51,213 Speaker 26: some solid conversations with my last partner about it. 1757 01:28:51,372 --> 01:28:51,612 Speaker 2: Yep. 1758 01:28:52,572 --> 01:28:57,213 Speaker 26: I think and this, look, there's nothing wrong with saying, look, 1759 01:28:57,253 --> 01:28:59,093 Speaker 26: this isn't for me, you know, if you want to 1760 01:28:59,133 --> 01:29:02,253 Speaker 26: do that, hey man, go for gold. You know, like, 1761 01:29:02,372 --> 01:29:06,692 Speaker 26: who are you to stop that person doing what they 1762 01:29:06,772 --> 01:29:07,133 Speaker 26: want to do. 1763 01:29:07,333 --> 01:29:10,572 Speaker 3: It's a fair point. I mean, now that you mentioned that, Mike, 1764 01:29:10,612 --> 01:29:13,132 Speaker 3: if I was in that situation, I'd prefer the partner 1765 01:29:13,173 --> 01:29:15,333 Speaker 3: to be honest, and then I'd probably make the call 1766 01:29:15,412 --> 01:29:17,213 Speaker 3: look not for me. If you're really strong on that, 1767 01:29:17,293 --> 01:29:20,133 Speaker 3: then we might have to end things rather than them 1768 01:29:20,173 --> 01:29:21,572 Speaker 3: going and doing the duty on this side. 1769 01:29:21,572 --> 01:29:23,333 Speaker 2: But do you think that would be Do you think 1770 01:29:23,333 --> 01:29:26,052 Speaker 2: that's unfair in a way? So the person who really 1771 01:29:26,133 --> 01:29:30,692 Speaker 2: wants to open up the relationship, but still, you know, 1772 01:29:30,973 --> 01:29:33,692 Speaker 2: can you like, if that's important to them, is it 1773 01:29:34,412 --> 01:29:36,173 Speaker 2: unfair to not let them do it? 1774 01:29:36,492 --> 01:29:38,173 Speaker 3: That's a fair point, because then I'd make it pretty 1775 01:29:38,173 --> 01:29:40,053 Speaker 3: clear that I think this is a deal breaker for me. 1776 01:29:40,253 --> 01:29:42,692 Speaker 3: So I'm sorry, I can't do this. So it's either 1777 01:29:42,772 --> 01:29:46,293 Speaker 3: me or your open relationship. And if they chose that, 1778 01:29:46,333 --> 01:29:48,173 Speaker 3: then it was never going to work out in any way. 1779 01:29:49,253 --> 01:29:53,012 Speaker 26: Correct, correct, Yeah, but you know you're always learning about 1780 01:29:53,013 --> 01:30:00,133 Speaker 26: the other person, and you know if you don't try it. 1781 01:29:59,013 --> 01:30:01,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's complex.

In 1810 01:31:08,692 --> 01:31:11,293 Speaker 3: a New Zealand, fifteen percent of couples have either tried 1811 01:31:11,452 --> 01:31:14,532 Speaker 3: or currently practiced open relationships. So if that's you, oh 1812 01:31:14,532 --> 01:31:16,293 Speaker 3: e one hundred and eighty ten eighty, or if you 1813 01:31:16,333 --> 01:31:18,253 Speaker 3: want to come on the other side and you think 1814 01:31:18,492 --> 01:31:21,013 Speaker 3: an open relationship can never work by all means, come through. 1815 01:31:21,093 --> 01:31:24,012 Speaker 3: Nine two nine two is the text number. Get Alex, 1816 01:31:25,612 --> 01:31:28,372 Speaker 3: Hello there, Tyler how are you very good? So what 1817 01:31:28,372 --> 01:31:29,333 Speaker 3: do you reckon about this one? 1818 01:31:29,452 --> 01:31:30,013 Speaker 16: Excellent? 1819 01:31:30,372 --> 01:31:31,972 Speaker 28: Well, I just want to put out a little morning 1820 01:31:32,013 --> 01:31:34,333 Speaker 28: before I say anything. There's any children under the age 1821 01:31:34,372 --> 01:31:38,652 Speaker 28: of sixteen, now's the time to change the channel. That's 1822 01:31:38,652 --> 01:31:40,652 Speaker 28: how you get That's how you stop them from listening 1823 01:31:40,732 --> 01:31:42,612 Speaker 28: to what you don't want them to hear not moaning 1824 01:31:42,652 --> 01:31:43,893 Speaker 28: at the radio station. 1825 01:31:44,093 --> 01:31:45,012 Speaker 3: Nicely said Alex. 1826 01:31:46,372 --> 01:31:48,452 Speaker 2: It's hard to silence, Well, isn't it. It's hard to 1827 01:31:48,452 --> 01:31:49,173 Speaker 2: silence the world. 1828 01:31:49,372 --> 01:31:50,732 Speaker 13: Yeah, it does. 1829 01:31:51,372 --> 01:31:53,692 Speaker 28: There's a lot of truth in the men are from 1830 01:31:53,692 --> 01:31:55,692 Speaker 28: Mars and the women are from Venus when it comes 1831 01:31:55,692 --> 01:32:01,612 Speaker 28: to these things, because the two sexes are built totally 1832 01:32:01,652 --> 01:32:04,772 Speaker 28: differently on an emotional level and on a physical level. 1833 01:32:05,333 --> 01:32:11,852 Speaker 28: And gay relationships relationships you will find much easier at 1834 01:32:11,933 --> 01:32:19,692 Speaker 28: having open relationships because the the the the men look 1835 01:32:19,772 --> 01:32:24,253 Speaker 28: for satisfaction, women look for love. And that is to 1836 01:32:24,293 --> 01:32:27,412 Speaker 28: me the essential difference, and that men can part easily 1837 01:32:27,412 --> 01:32:30,732 Speaker 28: go out and do it purely for the physical side 1838 01:32:30,732 --> 01:32:35,093 Speaker 28: of it, but for women it is essentially an emotional experience, 1839 01:32:35,612 --> 01:32:39,052 Speaker 28: and for to try and introduce that into a hepro 1840 01:32:39,253 --> 01:32:42,132 Speaker 28: relationship I think would be extremely difficult. 1841 01:32:43,173 --> 01:32:46,652 Speaker 2: Yeah, And and do you think that might be biologically speaking, 1842 01:32:46,772 --> 01:32:53,892 Speaker 2: because you know, a if a woman is of child 1843 01:32:53,933 --> 01:32:57,612 Speaker 2: with child, then that's nine months of and needing. You know, 1844 01:32:57,692 --> 01:33:00,572 Speaker 2: that's that's a potentially a much bigger commitment of time 1845 01:33:01,133 --> 01:33:06,772 Speaker 2: and in energy and also need for protection over that 1846 01:33:06,933 --> 01:33:12,053 Speaker 2: time then then than male. So biologically speaking, that those 1847 01:33:12,093 --> 01:33:17,293 Speaker 2: strategies have evolved in that sort of fashion. I'm talking. 1848 01:33:18,293 --> 01:33:19,333 Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what I said. 1849 01:33:19,333 --> 01:33:22,452 Speaker 3: There's listening anymore, you can go loud. 1850 01:33:22,532 --> 01:33:24,372 Speaker 2: They were listening to being bored senseless by the way 1851 01:33:24,372 --> 01:33:26,093 Speaker 2: I described that. 1852 01:33:27,572 --> 01:33:30,213 Speaker 28: Matt, I'll try and wade my way through that. I've 1853 01:33:30,253 --> 01:33:34,492 Speaker 28: never had the experience of being in a partner where 1854 01:33:34,572 --> 01:33:39,173 Speaker 28: children are on the way, so being in a gay relationship, 1855 01:33:39,253 --> 01:33:42,253 Speaker 28: it doesn't happen. But yeah, there is going to be 1856 01:33:42,293 --> 01:33:46,692 Speaker 28: a lot more emotional support required from the male to 1857 01:33:46,772 --> 01:33:48,892 Speaker 28: the female when that situation happens. 1858 01:33:48,893 --> 01:33:49,173 Speaker 11: For men. 1859 01:33:49,213 --> 01:33:51,692 Speaker 28: To put that aside, we're now talking purely about a 1860 01:33:51,692 --> 01:33:56,492 Speaker 28: sexual aspect, and to me that even in that situation, yes, 1861 01:33:56,612 --> 01:34:00,012 Speaker 28: that the female is looking for satisfaction, but it comes 1862 01:34:00,053 --> 01:34:01,773 Speaker 28: with more of an emotional attachment. 1863 01:34:02,692 --> 01:34:04,612 Speaker 3: But what it does for the male, But what about 1864 01:34:04,652 --> 01:34:07,213 Speaker 3: the jealousy side of things? Alex and that's generally why 1865 01:34:07,333 --> 01:34:09,893 Speaker 3: I just couldn't in an open relationship because of the 1866 01:34:09,973 --> 01:34:12,452 Speaker 3: jealousy aspects. And that's a flow of my character. I 1867 01:34:12,492 --> 01:34:15,333 Speaker 3: accept that, but surely that plays a part. Even with 1868 01:34:16,532 --> 01:34:19,652 Speaker 3: gay couples like yourself, there must be a jealousy element 1869 01:34:19,692 --> 01:34:21,412 Speaker 3: that would pop up sometimes. 1870 01:34:22,372 --> 01:34:25,013 Speaker 28: Well, you know, funny you should say that because my 1871 01:34:25,173 --> 01:34:27,932 Speaker 28: partner and I have been together thirty four years this month, 1872 01:34:29,253 --> 01:34:33,892 Speaker 28: and when we first started out, I said to him 1873 01:34:34,133 --> 01:34:35,892 Speaker 28: the one thing that we need to be careful of 1874 01:34:36,853 --> 01:34:39,933 Speaker 28: is jealousy because I'm a bit of a flirt. I 1875 01:34:40,093 --> 01:34:44,532 Speaker 28: like to play around and don't get jealous because that 1876 01:34:44,572 --> 01:34:47,612 Speaker 28: will destroy us. And we've kept that mantra for the 1877 01:34:47,692 --> 01:34:51,372 Speaker 28: last thirty four years and it's worked. We don't have 1878 01:34:51,412 --> 01:34:56,853 Speaker 28: an open relationship as such that we don't bring partners 1879 01:34:56,893 --> 01:35:01,973 Speaker 28: into our own existence or into our own environment, but 1880 01:35:02,412 --> 01:35:06,053 Speaker 28: there have been playtimes in the past and it's all 1881 01:35:06,093 --> 01:35:10,372 Speaker 28: been done consensually and enjoyably for both of us. 1882 01:35:10,732 --> 01:35:14,972 Speaker 2: Now, Alex, congratulations on thirty four years. That's fantastic. Now 1883 01:35:15,452 --> 01:35:18,893 Speaker 2: I'm going to open a Pandora's box of worms. I 1884 01:35:18,893 --> 01:35:22,172 Speaker 2: don't know if that's to say, but I was following 1885 01:35:22,173 --> 01:35:25,052 Speaker 2: the comedian Jim Jefferies, the Australian comedian, and I thought, 1886 01:35:25,333 --> 01:35:28,093 Speaker 2: maybe you're not a way on this topic. And he's 1887 01:35:28,133 --> 01:35:32,652 Speaker 2: talking about marriage and he said the shortest lasting marriage 1888 01:35:32,692 --> 01:35:36,852 Speaker 2: are woman woman marriages, the second shortest lasting marriages are 1889 01:35:37,093 --> 01:35:41,253 Speaker 2: men women marriages, and the longest lasting marriages statistically are 1890 01:35:42,692 --> 01:35:46,572 Speaker 2: male gay marriages. Why would you think that would be. 1891 01:35:48,452 --> 01:35:51,093 Speaker 28: Well, I think it comes back to what I've been 1892 01:35:51,133 --> 01:35:55,612 Speaker 28: saying is that men don't have that jealousy factor. They aren't. 1893 01:35:56,572 --> 01:36:00,692 Speaker 28: They are after the physical without the emotional. So when 1894 01:36:00,732 --> 01:36:03,572 Speaker 28: they go to play outside the relationship, they're not doing 1895 01:36:03,652 --> 01:36:07,133 Speaker 28: it unless, of course the relationship is breaking down. They're 1896 01:36:07,133 --> 01:36:08,732 Speaker 28: not doing it for emotional reasons. 1897 01:36:08,732 --> 01:36:09,013 Speaker 26: They do. 1898 01:36:09,053 --> 01:36:10,532 Speaker 28: It's really for physical reasons. 1899 01:36:10,532 --> 01:36:13,093 Speaker 2: But apart from that, there is a lot of love 1900 01:36:13,093 --> 01:36:13,933 Speaker 2: in your relationship. 1901 01:36:13,973 --> 01:36:18,213 Speaker 28: Alex Oh, absolutely, yeah, but the love. 1902 01:36:18,732 --> 01:36:22,572 Speaker 2: The love isn't as strictly tied to the physical side 1903 01:36:22,652 --> 01:36:23,293 Speaker 2: as it might be. 1904 01:36:23,893 --> 01:36:25,093 Speaker 12: No, yeah, no, it's not. 1905 01:36:25,452 --> 01:36:26,372 Speaker 2: Well, very interesting. 1906 01:36:27,492 --> 01:36:32,092 Speaker 28: What you commented about a female lesbian relationships being the 1907 01:36:32,093 --> 01:36:35,812 Speaker 28: shortest is amusing because we have a saying, oh I 1908 01:36:35,853 --> 01:36:39,172 Speaker 28: ever say that with a lesbian couple on the second 1909 01:36:39,253 --> 01:36:45,253 Speaker 28: date they move in together.

We are talking about open relationships. 1942 01:38:31,853 --> 01:38:34,612 Speaker 3: They are entering into the mainstream. Just to give you 1943 01:38:34,652 --> 01:38:36,972 Speaker 3: some figures, forty three percent of millennials say they're open 1944 01:38:37,053 --> 01:38:40,052 Speaker 3: to the idea, and right here in good old New Zealand, 1945 01:38:40,732 --> 01:38:43,293 Speaker 3: recent studies suggest up to fifteen percent of couples have 1946 01:38:43,372 --> 01:38:46,812 Speaker 3: either tried it or currently practiced open relationships. 1947 01:38:46,213 --> 01:38:48,093 Speaker 2: Where that you'd want a relationship but want to have 1948 01:38:48,333 --> 01:38:51,452 Speaker 2: a player around as well. Where's the bloody commitment? These 1949 01:38:51,492 --> 01:38:56,412 Speaker 2: relationships eventually fail, that's sort I wonder how long they 1950 01:38:56,492 --> 01:39:00,213 Speaker 2: can last? Are high there. I think that all open 1951 01:39:00,253 --> 01:39:03,532 Speaker 2: relationships would not realistically works as this text. There's no 1952 01:39:03,652 --> 01:39:07,053 Speaker 2: way three people can maintain a healthy lifestyle together. What 1953 01:39:07,133 --> 01:39:09,492 Speaker 2: about all the jealousy at tension more to one than 1954 01:39:09,492 --> 01:39:11,612 Speaker 2: the other person. It can't work, I believe, and I 1955 01:39:11,612 --> 01:39:15,612 Speaker 2: think thinking about it seems wrong. But hey, if it 1956 01:39:15,652 --> 01:39:18,732 Speaker 2: looks good for you personally, I don't see how it 1957 01:39:18,732 --> 01:39:20,933 Speaker 2: would work on the real working But who am I 1958 01:39:21,013 --> 01:39:25,452 Speaker 2: to judge? Yeah, I mean, jealousy is a huge thing 1959 01:39:25,492 --> 01:39:30,572 Speaker 2: in relationships, right, Yeah, And imagine if that then is 1960 01:39:30,612 --> 01:39:34,532 Speaker 2: within the relationship, So you start spending a lot more time, 1961 01:39:35,013 --> 01:39:37,652 Speaker 2: whatever type of time that is with one person over 1962 01:39:37,692 --> 01:39:39,692 Speaker 2: the other. Isn't that eventually going to happen or you 1963 01:39:39,772 --> 01:39:41,652 Speaker 2: go through periods or factions will form. 1964 01:39:41,812 --> 01:39:44,612 Speaker 3: Yeah, eat away if I was ever in that situation, 1965 01:39:44,692 --> 01:39:46,973 Speaker 3: or eat away at me? And again, maybe that is 1966 01:39:47,253 --> 01:39:49,612 Speaker 3: a flaw of my character. But I don't know how 1967 01:39:49,612 --> 01:39:51,692 Speaker 3: to get over there. But I'm willing to admit maybe 1968 01:39:51,732 --> 01:39:55,532 Speaker 3: that is because of societal prescius about that idea of 1969 01:39:55,772 --> 01:39:59,013 Speaker 3: what you're with the woman that you've chosen, and the 1970 01:39:59,013 --> 01:40:02,652 Speaker 3: physical side of that should just be between me and her. 1971 01:40:02,893 --> 01:40:04,852 Speaker 3: But obviously it's changing, and. 1972 01:40:05,053 --> 01:40:08,213 Speaker 2: What about the situation where you've got, say, let's say 1973 01:40:08,933 --> 01:40:11,053 Speaker 2: a guy, because I am a guy, so I see 1974 01:40:11,093 --> 01:40:14,293 Speaker 2: the world through that lens, and maybe this guy thinks 1975 01:40:14,412 --> 01:40:19,892 Speaker 2: I would be quite good to have two girlfriends, two wives, 1976 01:40:19,933 --> 01:40:23,372 Speaker 2: two whatevers, and think it's going to be amazing. Then 1977 01:40:23,692 --> 01:40:26,452 Speaker 2: they start getting up on you all of a sudden, 1978 01:40:26,692 --> 01:40:29,812 Speaker 2: they agree on everything, and then you're pariah in your 1979 01:40:29,812 --> 01:40:30,173 Speaker 2: own home. 1980 01:40:30,253 --> 01:40:30,973 Speaker 3: I massively big. 1981 01:40:32,173 --> 01:40:34,213 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think the way people picture these 1982 01:40:34,213 --> 01:40:36,652 Speaker 2: things might be very different from the actuality, the day 1983 01:40:36,692 --> 01:40:40,053 Speaker 2: to day actuality, yeah, you know, and the amount of 1984 01:40:40,093 --> 01:40:42,732 Speaker 2: you know, So in a relationship, it's good when you're 1985 01:40:42,732 --> 01:40:45,812 Speaker 2: both in a good mood and a positive mindset, and 1986 01:40:45,853 --> 01:40:47,852 Speaker 2: that happens most of the time, but then one of 1987 01:40:47,853 --> 01:40:50,053 Speaker 2: it you won't be and that that happens some of 1988 01:40:50,093 --> 01:40:53,852 Speaker 2: the time. And in one of these sort of poly 1989 01:40:53,973 --> 01:40:57,412 Speaker 2: emory relationships with his three involved, is that just mean 1990 01:40:57,452 --> 01:40:59,773 Speaker 2: that more often one of the people in the relationship 1991 01:40:59,853 --> 01:41:01,372 Speaker 2: is going to be in a bad state of mind 1992 01:41:01,412 --> 01:41:03,133 Speaker 2: and making everything visible for everybody else. 1993 01:41:03,213 --> 01:41:08,212 Speaker 3: The third world situation, absolutely, Greg, How are you this afternoon? 1994 01:41:09,013 --> 01:41:09,412 Speaker 26: I'm good? 1995 01:41:09,412 --> 01:41:12,093 Speaker 3: Thanks, guy, How are you very good?

But I sort of liked playing 2001 01:41:24,652 --> 01:41:27,293 Speaker 29: hide the sausage, if you don't mean so. I thought 2002 01:41:27,293 --> 01:41:28,812 Speaker 29: it was a good way not to get tied up 2003 01:41:28,812 --> 01:41:32,173 Speaker 29: in a relationship, and the couples that I've played with 2004 01:41:32,452 --> 01:41:37,732 Speaker 29: seemed strong. I also met people who were in a 2005 01:41:37,812 --> 01:41:41,532 Speaker 29: marriage but were sort of playing separately, and that doesn't 2006 01:41:41,532 --> 01:41:44,892 Speaker 29: seem so good. Just by the way you were talking 2007 01:41:45,093 --> 01:41:47,133 Speaker 29: to these ladies, you sort of there was a little 2008 01:41:47,133 --> 01:41:50,092 Speaker 29: bit of a grudgement there. It was really quite interesting. 2009 01:41:50,372 --> 01:41:52,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you think that they were they were they 2010 01:41:52,732 --> 01:41:57,932 Speaker 2: were involved because their partner was involved and thought they 2011 01:41:58,013 --> 01:42:00,573 Speaker 2: should to keep the relationship going. But it wasn't necessarily 2012 01:42:00,652 --> 01:42:03,173 Speaker 2: something that they particularly wanted to do, if you know 2013 01:42:03,173 --> 01:42:03,892 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. 2014 01:42:04,692 --> 01:42:07,892 Speaker 29: Absolutely perfect for at least two of the ladies that 2015 01:42:07,933 --> 01:42:09,933 Speaker 29: I was saying, yeah, that's exactly what it was. The 2016 01:42:10,053 --> 01:42:12,133 Speaker 29: sort of they were talking about the husband and how 2017 01:42:12,173 --> 01:42:15,372 Speaker 29: he was doing this thing, and yeah, she thought she'd 2018 01:42:15,372 --> 01:42:18,132 Speaker 29: get into it. But the couples that I saw together, 2019 01:42:18,732 --> 01:42:22,652 Speaker 29: they were really tight. You know that was quite interesting, 2020 01:42:23,652 --> 01:42:24,812 Speaker 29: an interesting part of my life. 2021 01:42:24,812 --> 01:42:25,412 Speaker 19: Put it that way. 2022 01:42:25,532 --> 01:42:30,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, yeah, you go, I just say bet 2023 01:42:30,253 --> 01:42:30,572 Speaker 2: it wasn't. 2024 01:42:31,893 --> 01:42:34,253 Speaker 29: So then I got in to I met my now 2025 01:42:34,333 --> 01:42:36,973 Speaker 29: current wife, but we sort of talked about what I 2026 01:42:37,053 --> 01:42:40,133 Speaker 29: was up to. I didn't like the idea of us 2027 01:42:40,213 --> 01:42:43,492 Speaker 29: doing it as a couple, and especially not her doing 2028 01:42:43,532 --> 01:42:45,293 Speaker 29: that without me knowing what was going on. 2029 01:42:45,412 --> 01:42:45,612 Speaker 8: You know. 2030 01:42:45,812 --> 01:42:51,173 Speaker 29: It was quite a different dynamic.

And if the relationship is just the 2074 01:44:58,812 --> 01:45:01,652 Speaker 2: rest of your life of him walking around going on 2075 01:45:01,652 --> 01:45:04,532 Speaker 2: I wish I was with a bunch of other people. 2076 01:45:04,893 --> 01:45:06,972 Speaker 2: Is that a great relationship?

And now 2155 01:48:51,532 --> 01:48:54,932 Speaker 31: I was like, oh, like here I was four days ago, 2156 01:48:55,173 --> 01:48:58,652 Speaker 31: like you know, trying to do the like I want 2157 01:48:58,772 --> 01:49:00,333 Speaker 31: this character. 2158 01:49:00,652 --> 01:49:00,812 Speaker 17: You know. 2159 01:49:01,853 --> 01:49:06,532 Speaker 31: Oh I was burned. So anyway, I was like, not 2160 01:49:07,412 --> 01:49:10,092 Speaker 31: going to hang around with these types of chips ever again. 2161 01:49:10,812 --> 01:49:13,972 Speaker 31: If my wife we dated, the married, happy days, got 2162 01:49:14,013 --> 01:49:19,253 Speaker 31: a house together, settled. But that girl, she had two 2163 01:49:19,372 --> 01:49:22,852 Speaker 31: choices and she chose that life and are you at 2164 01:49:22,853 --> 01:49:23,772 Speaker 31: the time it was. 2165 01:49:23,732 --> 01:49:27,372 Speaker 2: Heartbreaking confusing for the child as well. 2166 01:49:29,013 --> 01:49:32,412 Speaker 31: Yeah, so I've got this little girl either in the ocean, 2167 01:49:32,572 --> 01:49:35,772 Speaker 31: kidney head above it obviously, you know, you know, making 2168 01:49:35,812 --> 01:49:38,932 Speaker 31: splashes and you know, carrying on like that. And then 2169 01:49:39,013 --> 01:49:42,972 Speaker 31: four days later I'm like, oh, she's actually dating other 2170 01:49:42,973 --> 01:49:44,052 Speaker 31: people at the same time. 2171 01:49:44,933 --> 01:49:47,932 Speaker 2: We well, yeah, be good. 2172 01:49:48,612 --> 01:49:51,012 Speaker 31: If she's doing this now, she'll do this later. 2173 01:49:51,293 --> 01:49:51,612 Speaker 5: Yeah. 2174 01:49:51,732 --> 01:49:54,253 Speaker 3: I think if you call Chris, clearly not for you, 2175 01:49:54,293 --> 01:49:56,412 Speaker 3: and it's probably a good thing. You know, Chris found 2176 01:49:56,452 --> 01:49:59,133 Speaker 3: out when he did, rather than later down the track. 2177 01:49:59,173 --> 01:50:00,893 Speaker 3: And I know obviously it was pretty heartbreaking from it 2178 01:50:00,893 --> 01:50:02,612 Speaker 3: at the time. But the sooner the better you find 2179 01:50:02,612 --> 01:50:03,732 Speaker 3: out if it's not for you. 2180 01:50:04,293 --> 01:50:07,933 Speaker 2: Hi, lads, we're intelligent animals, the animals. Nonetheless, are we 2181 01:50:07,973 --> 01:50:11,772 Speaker 2: suppose to be monogamous? Or is our basic incident to 2182 01:50:11,812 --> 01:50:15,213 Speaker 2: breed and populate? Just a question for the audience. Yeah, well, 2183 01:50:15,253 --> 01:50:20,252 Speaker 2: I think you know that we have lots of instincts 2184 01:50:20,732 --> 01:50:23,652 Speaker 2: and we don't act on all of them. Yeah, otherwise 2185 01:50:24,133 --> 01:50:28,253 Speaker 2: life would be very anarchistic. Yeah, so just our animal instincts, 2186 01:50:28,253 --> 01:50:30,452 Speaker 2: I mean, part of being a human being is deciding 2187 01:50:30,452 --> 01:50:34,612 Speaker 2: which of your animal instincts you're going to listen to 2188 01:50:34,732 --> 01:50:36,452 Speaker 2: and which ones you're going to go for the good 2189 01:50:36,452 --> 01:50:38,333 Speaker 2: of yourself. And your society and your family you're not 2190 01:50:38,572 --> 01:50:40,013 Speaker 2: going to going to listen. 2191 01:50:39,772 --> 01:50:42,452 Speaker 3: To and thank God for that. Andrew, you want to 2192 01:50:42,452 --> 01:50:43,452 Speaker 3: have a chat about jealousy. 2193 01:50:44,732 --> 01:50:47,532 Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, Look, I think jealousy is a bit of 2194 01:50:47,532 --> 01:50:52,253 Speaker 17: a misnomer and it's I actually think jealousy is insecurity 2195 01:50:52,293 --> 01:50:55,772 Speaker 17: and drag and if you're secure in your relationship, then 2196 01:50:55,772 --> 01:51:00,973 Speaker 17: there's absolutely no reason to get jealous. So like, like, 2197 01:51:01,133 --> 01:51:03,812 Speaker 17: I know that regardless of what happens during the day, 2198 01:51:05,093 --> 01:51:07,812 Speaker 17: I'm going home to my wife, and whatever happens during 2199 01:51:07,893 --> 01:51:10,452 Speaker 17: who day, she's going home to me. I know that 2200 01:51:10,812 --> 01:51:15,012 Speaker 17: I'm absolutely secure in that. And we we've been married 2201 01:51:15,053 --> 01:51:19,732 Speaker 17: thirty five years and jealousy has never been a feature 2202 01:51:19,893 --> 01:51:23,732 Speaker 17: of our relationship. It's not and we just simply do 2203 01:51:23,812 --> 01:51:24,652 Speaker 17: not allow it to be. 2204 01:51:26,333 --> 01:51:27,293 Speaker 24: And so. 2205 01:51:29,333 --> 01:51:33,612 Speaker 17: And so how that translates in terms of open relationships 2206 01:51:35,093 --> 01:51:38,613 Speaker 17: for well, for us, we don't have an open relationship, 2207 01:51:39,093 --> 01:51:43,053 Speaker 17: but if we did, the same rules would apply. You know, 2208 01:51:43,093 --> 01:51:46,013 Speaker 17: we're going home and with each other at the end 2209 01:51:46,013 --> 01:51:50,452 Speaker 17: of the day. And also, would you would you let 2210 01:51:50,692 --> 01:51:53,892 Speaker 17: sex destroy a family? I sure as how it wouldn't. 2211 01:51:55,372 --> 01:51:57,692 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a fair question, but but you could put 2212 01:51:57,732 --> 01:51:59,972 Speaker 2: it the other way and say, the person that wants 2213 01:52:00,013 --> 01:52:06,052 Speaker 2: to open up the relationship, they're letting their desires destroy 2214 01:52:07,013 --> 01:52:09,812 Speaker 2: the the family. Well, you know, there's two ways to 2215 01:52:09,812 --> 01:52:10,813 Speaker 2: look at it, Andrew. 2216 01:52:11,812 --> 01:52:17,812 Speaker 17: Oh, absolutely, But so you know, is a desire like 2217 01:52:17,893 --> 01:52:23,293 Speaker 17: that me aig like that in a relationship that just 2218 01:52:23,372 --> 01:52:26,892 Speaker 17: hasn't sprung up out of the blue. That's there's there's 2219 01:52:26,893 --> 01:52:29,253 Speaker 17: something that's led to that, and that's going to lead 2220 01:52:29,293 --> 01:52:33,253 Speaker 17: to a much bigger and heavier discussion about Okay, well 2221 01:52:33,412 --> 01:52:39,413 Speaker 17: what what has led that desire to being a desire 2222 01:52:39,612 --> 01:52:43,372 Speaker 17: is that? You know, you know what is it? I 2223 01:52:43,412 --> 01:52:46,772 Speaker 17: don't want to define it, but there's there's something, there's 2224 01:52:46,853 --> 01:52:52,053 Speaker 17: something going on in that relationship that's created that imbalance. 2225 01:52:53,572 --> 01:52:55,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't separate. And this is me and 2226 01:52:56,013 --> 01:52:57,612 Speaker 3: I think you know a lot of people feel this 2227 01:52:57,652 --> 01:53:00,133 Speaker 3: way if they're in a monogamous relationship that I don't 2228 01:53:00,173 --> 01:53:03,652 Speaker 3: separate physical from the emotional. That to me is one 2229 01:53:03,692 --> 01:53:06,053 Speaker 3: and the same. And if you separate for me the 2230 01:53:06,093 --> 01:53:08,213 Speaker 3: physical side of it, then I don't want any part 2231 01:53:08,253 --> 01:53:11,093 Speaker 3: of that relationship because that's a part that somebody else 2232 01:53:11,173 --> 01:53:14,213 Speaker 3: is jumping in on and I feel really uncomfortable with that. 2233 01:53:14,213 --> 01:53:17,412 Speaker 3: That's not about jealousy. That is just in my mind. 2234 01:53:17,812 --> 01:53:20,253 Speaker 3: I think, you know, the fact that somebody else is 2235 01:53:20,333 --> 01:53:23,412 Speaker 3: jumping in on that on that side of my love 2236 01:53:23,452 --> 01:53:26,293 Speaker 3: relationship is too much. It's over the top. And I 2237 01:53:26,293 --> 01:53:28,572 Speaker 3: don't think that's a jealousy thing. That's just I don't 2238 01:53:28,612 --> 01:53:30,772 Speaker 3: want to share that that relationship. 2239 01:53:30,293 --> 01:53:32,253 Speaker 2: With me, Andrew, it would be a jealousy thing. 2240 01:53:35,492 --> 01:53:35,772 Speaker 26: See. 2241 01:53:35,893 --> 01:53:39,412 Speaker 17: I see that as an intimacy thing. So what you're 2242 01:53:39,412 --> 01:53:43,213 Speaker 17: saying is you don't want to share that level of intimacy, 2243 01:53:43,452 --> 01:53:49,812 Speaker 17: and that's that's that's perfectly that's perfectly acceptable for you 2244 01:53:49,853 --> 01:53:54,452 Speaker 17: to have that opinion, and other people might enjoy sharing 2245 01:53:54,492 --> 01:53:56,173 Speaker 17: that level of intimacy. 2246 01:53:56,372 --> 01:53:58,972 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, thank you, Andrew, thank you for your insights. 2247 01:53:59,093 --> 01:54:01,173 Speaker 2: Enjoy the show.
