1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Right, Mark Hooper's with us, Markey you with us.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 2: Yes, I can here find.

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: My sincere apologies about our equipment. Anyway, this business of

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: the RMA, do you get the sense that the government

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: is series about this or not?

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are definitely serious. They put it into the

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: q Q three sorry, as you mentioned, so it's on

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: the cards to make some progress in the next ninety days.

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: I guess the concern was that that window is getting

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: quite narrow to get a full replacement of the RMA

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: done within the next or within the current parliamentary term.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: So that's the broader concern. But I think that they're

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: going to still aim to do that. But I guess

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: what we saw from that data that came out the

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: MF released the monitoring data on local authorities and their

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: implementation of the RMA definitely highlighted the urgency that this

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: project has got and really tacing the RIMA is the

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: most meaningful long term economic reform the government could deliver

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: for us.

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: In that in that is that part of the problem,

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: because David Parker went away and sort of tried to

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: do the same thing and he came up with nine

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: hundred pages. Is it so gargantuan at least if they're

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: a bit slow doing it, you want to do it right.

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I guess the issue is that there's only

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: a short window of time available to get that into

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: the parliamentary process. So so that's that's a priority. But

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think it's so much a case

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: of it haspening to be a gag intulant Is that

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: the word you use. I think it Actually what we

31
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: actually need is a relatively simple reform. We need good

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: direction that just you know, kind of restores the overall

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: balance of our full well beings around environment, economic, social

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: and cultural values. You know, we need a more enabling system,

35
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: we need good protection of property rights, and we need

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: to maintain a good democratic process around us.

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: So you can't argue with that, can you? Mark listener?

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,840

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480
