Thanks a lot to Antonio Watson, the 16 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 3: CEO of A and Z, for raising it again this morning. 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: She says she supports it in terms of fairness, as in, 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: you know, if you're going to tax labor, you should 19 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: tax capital. Blah blah blah. Boring The syner to me 20 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: wants to know exactly why a bank CEO is publicly 21 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 3: supporting a capital games tax all of a sudden but regardless, 22 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 3: as I say boring, So I'm only marginally interested. Then 23 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 3: I just move on because we have better things to 24 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 3: think about. It's not a fresh idea. This is why 25 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: it's so boring. It's not a fresh idea. It's been 26 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 3: around the block a thousand times, and usk the New 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 3: Zealand public, the voses keep on rejecting it because it's 28 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: a bad idea. Tell me what problem a capital gains 29 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 3: tax is going to solve. Is it gonna stop us 30 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: investing in the housing market. No, it's not, because the 31 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: housing market, I would venture, will never run as hot 32 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: again as it did even pre COVID. Never mind the 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: weirdness that happened in COVID, all of those gains that 34 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: we made pre COVID, that's never gonna happen again because 35 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: the Reserve Bank is gonna make sure it never happens again, 36 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 3: because the Reserve Bank now has the tools to stop 37 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 3: that from happening again. Chuck a debt to income ratio 38 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: and on what you can borrow stops. Is it gonna 39 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: fix inequality, No, it's not gonna fix inequality if inequality 40 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: is driven by the fact that you've got the money 41 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 3: to put money into housing, and therefore you get richer. 42 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,919 Speaker 3: As I say, not gonna happen again to the extent 43 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: that it has, so you're not going to get that 44 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: level of inequality. And also it's not to bring huge 45 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: amounts of tax into the government coffers for them to 46 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: be able to redistribute to poor people. Even just Cinder's 47 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: Tax Working Group estimated it it would only bring in 48 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: about four hundred million bucks. That's zero point four percent 49 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 3: of tax revenue. Zero point four percent of tax revenue. 50 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: It's not even one percent. It's nothing. It's gonna bring 51 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 3: nothing in. And even if it got that, I would 52 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: be surprised. There's incredibly hard tax to comply with and 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: to collect. Honestly, good luck to the political party that 54 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: wants trot this boring old idea out of the next 55 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: election or any election. Who is this going to get excited? 56 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: Which vote is going to be like, do you know what? Yeah, 57 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 3: that's what I need? Capital gains tax haven't heard about 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: that for the last ten years. I think it tells 59 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 3: you a lot that even the Labor Party has started 60 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: talking about other ways to tax people. Right, they're talking 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: about a wealth tax, they're even talking about whatever the 62 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: hella capital income taxes, because this is more exciting to 63 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: them now than a capital gains tax, even they are 64 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 3: board by a CGT. Now, obviously you have to acknowledge 65 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: the fact that this may not be the last time 66 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: that we talk about a CGD because labor has to 67 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 3: decide exactly what they're going to do tax wise, and 68 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: they may go through the motions of talking about this 69 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: thing again. But after that, I truly hope that that 70 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: is it. We can put this thing to bed once 71 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 3: and for all. I truly hope that this is our 72 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: last go around of talking about this boring and frankly 73 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: bad idea. 74 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: Heever due for see Allen nine two nine two. 75 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: Oh, Actually it's not our last time, is it. We're 76 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: going to do an interview about it later on. We 77 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: had half past five, so you know, wish me luck 78 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: nine two nine two Standard text fees apply. Now here's 79 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: something interesting. Apparently, according to this wellness data that's just 80 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: out from Stats New Zealand, those of us here in 81 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: New Zealand are pretty satisfied with our lives. The overall 82 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: satisfaction rating that we've given is seven point six out 83 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: of ten, which actually isn't that different to twenty eleven 84 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: or twenty twenty one, Sorry, which was you know, you 85 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: remember COVID times. We were actually feeling pretty good at 86 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: that stage. The rest of the world was dying and 87 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: we weren't. Google Sutherlent is a clinical psychologist. Hey Google, 88 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: heh a, you're that nice to speak to you. 89 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: It's good to talk to you too. 90 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: Now, are you surprised that our well being and happiness 91 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: is holding up so well given how gloomy we are 92 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: at the moment in general? 93 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 4: Yeah? 94 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 5: Look, I was a wee. But then when I dug 95 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 5: into the stats, it was like, oh, no, that does 96 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 5: seem to be reflective of the kind of a general 97 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 5: temperature of society at the moment, you know. But but yeah, 98 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: I guess perhaps it was more positive than what you 99 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 5: might be believed to see if you're wandering around the 100 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 5: streets of Wellington. 101 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: So is it possible that what this says is we 102 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: are actually happy in general with our lives and our 103 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 3: lifestyle and the country. We know we've got it good. 104 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: It's just that we're unhappy and we're gloomy about the 105 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 3: trajectory of the country, like the economy and the health 106 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 3: system and so on. 107 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 5: Look, it could be I mean another interpretation is that we, 108 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 5: you know, we're sort of sitting there or thereabouts most 109 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 5: of the time, and that at particular points of time 110 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 5: we worry about certain things, like I'm sure in twenty 111 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 5: twenty one we were all worried about COVID, and now 112 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 5: you know, we're worried about the economy and a bit 113 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 5: about crime and a bit about healthcare. So maybe this 114 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 5: is just generally how it is, and that there's always 115 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 5: something to worry about, if that makes sense. 116 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: What do you make though of the decline of trust 117 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: in a bunch of institutions and in particular in Parliament, 118 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: which has fallen quite quite a lot. 119 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, A look that saddens me, but doesn't surprise me. 120 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 5: I think we've seen trust levels and a lot of 121 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 5: those institutions slipping, particularly around the media in Parliament, and 122 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 5: I think it reflects a bit more of a general 123 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 5: distrust that people seem to be having with, you know, 124 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 5: with the general institutions of life. People's trust seems to 125 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 5: have been eroded over the past few years. 126 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: That seems to be like something quite big that needs 127 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: to be addressed, don't you think. 128 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 6: I do? 129 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 7: I do? 130 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 8: I think so? 131 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 5: I think I think we're If we're talking about some 132 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 5: of the key kind of institutions of our society, police, government, media, 133 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 5: then it's I think it's important that people do have 134 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 5: trust and faith in those and if we don't, then 135 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 5: we need to look at how do we win that 136 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 5: trust back and how do we not convince people? Because 137 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 5: I think I don't think convincing people would work, But 138 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 5: how do we how do we prove to people it's 139 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 5: maybe a better way of doing it that those institutions 140 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 5: are actually important and trustworthy. 141 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: Where would you put yourself out of ten? 142 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 5: I would put myself at about six point five? I 143 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 5: think I'm in Wellington. Yeah, yeah, so it's I'm not 144 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 5: singing from the from the rooftops, but I'm not completely 145 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 5: down on the dumps either. But it does feel a 146 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 5: bit a bit doom and gloomy here, at least in Wellington. 147 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: Is this? I mean to be fair to you. You 148 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 3: you have just come through a Wellington winter and I 149 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: mean that is a rough time, isn't it. 150 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 5: Well yeah, but nobody chooses to live here because of 151 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 5: the weather. Do they take that we take that as 152 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,119 Speaker 5: a given that it's never going to be that great? 153 00:06:59,800 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 9: Hey? 154 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 5: But you do touch on. An interesting thing is you know, 155 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 5: often our mood does drop a little bit during winter, 156 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 5: and then you know, in spring we pop up again. 157 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 5: And I noticed that myself in the past couple of weeks, 158 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 5: just standing out and again, Oh, actually the sun's coming 159 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 5: up and there's blossom out and it kind of feels 160 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 5: spring light and there's more light around. So I don't 161 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 5: think we should neglect the fact that the environment has 162 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 5: a bit of an. 163 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 8: Impact on it. 164 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: Do you take vitamin D to get you through the winter. 165 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: I do not know why not. 166 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 5: I never thought of it to the others. I don't 167 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 5: feel like I've got a I haven't tested it, but 168 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 5: I don't feel like I've got a vitamin D deficiency. 169 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 5: But I do try and get out. I try and 170 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 5: get out in the morning and at least three or 171 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 5: four times during the week in daylight during winter, just 172 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 5: to get that soaked out in again. 173 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well, good for you, Okay, Google, thank you Google, 174 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: suther and clinical psychologist. I think Google needs to take 175 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: vitamin D. I reckon he go from a six point 176 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: five to a solid eight point five if he's taking 177 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 3: the vitamin D. The reason I'm saying this is because 178 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: my mum said to me the other day, she was like, 179 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 3: I don't know what she was reading, probably some conspiracy 180 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: website or something again, and she said, in so much 181 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: trouble anyway, So she said to me, she said, do 182 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: you know what either she said? I read the other 183 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: day that if you grew up in a place where 184 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: you had lots of sunshine and now you don't have 185 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 3: as much sunshine, you should take a vitamin D because 186 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 3: it's very odd for you. And we grew I grew 187 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: up in a place actually instinctly where she grew up 188 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: as well, where I think we maybe got like three 189 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: or four rainy days a year, like it was a 190 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 3: semid is it right? So there's a hell of a 191 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: lot of sunshine. So anyway, I decided, well, you know, 192 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 3: it's very hard to replace that kind of level of sunshine. 193 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: So I started taking the Vitamin D. Game changer, Absolute 194 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: game changer, hasn't it been, Laura? Last two weeks? I've 195 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: just been so excited, haven't I haven't I? Yeah, that's 196 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: what I did. Yeah, I just took the Vitamin D. 197 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: They just go down to your pharmacy, get some Vitamin 198 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: D's completely natural. All that you go happy days. You'll 199 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: thank me later if it Google needs it, doesn't they 200 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: it's living in Wellington sixteen past four. 201 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: Digging deeper to the day's headlines, it's Hither Duper c 202 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: Allen Drive with one New Zealand one j of Leaf 203 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: for Business UK Sport with tab Get your bed on 204 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: r ET bet Responsibly. 205 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: Darcy water Grave, host of Sports Talk with Me. 206 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 6: Now, Hey, Darcy, just saying that tonight in the program 207 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 6: we've got Willow Rourke. I know we're not talking about 208 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 6: cricket right now, but this guy has been a runaway 209 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 6: success since he started playing Test cricket. So yeah, we'll 210 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 6: have a chat to him about make some tick. 211 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: Please ask him if he's going to do T twenty right, 212 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: because we don't want him to go anywhere near the 213 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 3: otherwise we're going to lose him. 214 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 6: He's really tall and long and he'll break Yeah, stick 215 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 6: around the Yeah, absolutely, I'm going to tell him. 216 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 10: What to do. 217 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 3: Hey, So is Liam Napier right? Is Body Barrett going 218 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: to be replacing Demo? 219 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 6: Put it this way, Liam Napier is really incorrect, rarely 220 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 6: not really rarely incorrect. He would know you'd think that 221 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 6: with eight shots at first five eight and he hasn't 222 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 6: made any huge steps forward. Damien McKenzie that maybe patients 223 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 6: is wearing a little thin with Scott robertson. Look, I've 224 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 6: given you plenty of rope and you've not done what 225 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 6: I want with it. Yeah, you've tripped yourself up on it. 226 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 6: So we're going to go somewhere else. Interestingly, the Herald 227 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 6: have got a pole. This is very scientific, this is completely. 228 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: I looked at carry poles. 229 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, a forty percent of people want Bowden Barrett starting 230 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 6: at under ten, twenty three percent want Richie Muwanga, who's 231 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 6: not available. Starting at ten, it's Harry Harry Plummer at 232 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 6: eighteen percent, and then Damon McKinnon seventeen percent. 233 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 11: Ye. 234 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 6: Look, they've given him chances and I'll keep saying this 235 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 6: and this is no slight on him as a human, 236 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 6: but I don't feel safe with him in the ten Jerzy. 237 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 6: I don't when he relines up like what are you 238 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 6: going to do now? And like I'm only a punder 239 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 6: on the sideline imagining the team a game. 240 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 12: What's he going to do now? 241 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: Listen, I'm gonna try as. 242 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: A crazy backhand mad person. I don't know they I 243 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 6: mean a play he converted so well over the win. 244 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: My favorite was when he passes at No. 245 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 13: One. 246 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: I think that's quite interesting in the stands. Okay, so 247 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 3: what's going to happen, obviously is we're gonna so Damien's 248 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 3: out body takes that spot and then Will Jordan takes 249 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 3: body spot right in the fullback you'd think, so, how 250 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 3: much of this is about trying to get Will Jordan 251 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: into fullback where he's playing well, which means you have 252 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: to put body somewhere else into maybe number ten? How 253 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: much of this is actually about the wanting body and 254 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 3: Jordan on the field rather than wanting Damien off the field. 255 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? 256 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's more of a It's not a 257 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 6: Jordan move. I think we've seen from Jordan on the wing. 258 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 6: He's played most of his tests on the wing. Fact 259 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 6: we don't look. He played very well at fullback last 260 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 6: week and there has no doubt about that. That's what 261 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 6: his possession. He likes to play. He hasn't been electric 262 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 6: at fullback when he has played with South Africans. He 263 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 6: just didn't have the room to do anything. But he 264 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 6: wasn't settled in that role. I think that Damien McKenzie. 265 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 6: His best rugby has been off the bench, and I 266 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 6: think when you've got tiring bodies, confused legs and the like, 267 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 6: you bring this guy on and he can just cut 268 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 6: Mary Capers. So I think it's a pragmatic move should 269 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 6: it happen from Scott robertson the other thing is what 270 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 6: happens with Jordy. No Jordy in the midfield because he's 271 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 6: all broken up with his knee. What'll we work it? It 272 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 6: was stead of So what happens there we don't know. 273 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 6: But the team comes out to my reget an idea 274 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 6: and of course you know what he discussed this too. 275 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 6: They haven't won the essence twenty eighteen. 276 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 3: Shouldn't laugh at wow really quickly? What the hell's gone wrong? 277 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: For the White fans? Is ten in a row? 278 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 6: Now, I mean, what's gone wrong? What carries on going wrong? 279 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 6: Because it's been such a long it's actually eleven internationals 280 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 6: on the bounce now one of those was a one 281 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 6: day international. There was some highlights, but again I do 282 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 6: wonder about the say the top couple of inches, about 283 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 6: their faith and their own ability to get the job done, 284 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 6: and I think that might be wavering. I think that 285 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 6: with the ball they're going particularly well. There's some real 286 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 6: highlights there, just can't score the runs. And I was 287 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 6: watching it last night. It was it was looking good. 288 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 6: It started well, Plummer looked fantastic. I was like, Okay, 289 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 6: this is going somewhere and then suddenly five works close 290 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 6: but no cigar and close does it win you? 291 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 3: Titled Darcy thank you looking forward to your chat with 292 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 3: Willow Rourke.

We're going to talk to lim Napier about this. 299 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: Lim Napier broke the story in the Herald today that 300 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 3: body's going to get the call up, so we'll have 301 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 3: a chat to him about quarter past five about that. 302 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 3: Willie Jackson. Willie Jackson got all fired up in Parliament 303 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: this morning debating a bill on custom memorine titles. And 304 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 3: the bill is designed to give sovereignty back to Parliament 305 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: and take sovereignty away from the courts essentially sort of broadly. 306 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 3: And this is what Willy said. 307 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 14: Here's the problem. 308 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 15: Made him speaker. What happens if we've got a few 309 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 15: maniacs in parliament, that's the problem. When the mad people 310 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 15: take over you, so you get you might get rid 311 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 15: nick right wing nut jobs? Made him speaker. No, this 312 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 15: is a fact. So yeah, let's return this. So let's 313 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 15: make this sovereign cause parliament knows fists. But what if 314 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 15: parliament have got nut jobs? 315 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: He should not talk about himself like that. That is 316 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: not kind to He needs to go see Google the 317 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: clinical psychologists. If that is how low he's fee, who's 318 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: the biggest nut job in parliament? It's Willy? What the 319 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 3: hell Willy? Also is he actually standing there and arguing 320 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 3: against parliamentary sovereignty, which is like the foundational idea of 321 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 3: our western liberal democracy. I can't even help him if 322 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 3: he's at that point. This is the same guy who 323 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: thinks that democracy needs to be changed and stuff. So 324 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: eater had its day apparently anyway, that's happening in Parliament 325 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: at the moment. On another subject, altogether, we have got 326 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: the final report into the incident where the crew took 327 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: all the nuts off the pylon, which made them which 328 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 3: made the pylon fall over. It turns out it's not 329 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 3: the only time that something like this has happened. According 330 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 3: to the report, there is evidence that the removal of 331 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: all the nuts from more than one tower leg was 332 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 3: not a one off event.

That's fair, but it 398 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: wasn't because of that Texas for other reasons altogether, Dan Mitchison, 399 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: you correspondence with us, say Dan, Hey, Heather, Okay, So 400 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: what do you make of the polls? Do you think 401 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: based on what you're seeing? Kamala wins. 402 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 12: I am seeing right now the biggest lead that I 403 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 12: have seen from Democrats in the last eighteen months. I 404 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 12: mean right now, Kamala Harris, depending on which pole you're 405 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 12: looking at, she is neck and neck with Donald Trump, 406 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 12: or she is a good six or seven percentage points 407 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 12: ahead of him in the latest Reuter's poll. And even 408 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 12: if you factor in a margin of error of three 409 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 12: or four, I mean, that's still given our solid three 410 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 12: or four percent lead, and that's all you really need. 411 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: Right that national or is that in the Swing States, 412 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 3: that's national Well who cares? 413 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: Now? 414 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 3: Who cares? Well, it's yeah, you have the Swing States. 415 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 12: I mean well, plus I mean you have Biden supporters 416 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 12: in earlier polls who said they were largely expressing opposition 417 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 12: to Trump with their choice. And that was my question 418 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 12: all along too. When I see these polls right now 419 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 12: is is you know? And I don't know what the 420 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 12: Vaga sods are be because they've been on everything, But 421 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 12: the question is are people really voting for Harris or 422 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 12: are they just voting against Donald Trump? Right now, I 423 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 12: think more people are starting to vote against Donald Trump 424 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 12: than they are for Harris. 425 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: So the reason I was mentioning the Swing States is 426 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: because the Democrats themselves are apparently quite concerned, and this 427 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 3: is according to a report from The Guardian yesterday, quite 428 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 3: concerned that Trump's lead in the Swing States is not 429 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: enough and he always underpolls in the swings all sex 430 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 3: beside Nevada. I think he always underpolls and then he 431 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 3: over delivers on the day. And if he over delivers 432 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 3: this year to the same margin that he over delivered 433 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, he actually wins the Swing States, and 434 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 3: he wins the election. 435 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 12: He will, And I think that's why Kamala Harris is 436 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 12: so focused on a lot of these swing states right now, 437 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 12: because you're right, Democrats tend to come out on the 438 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 12: day of the vote. A lot of Republicans, well, actually 439 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 12: a lot of Democrats also are mailing in votes, and 440 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 12: that's what we've been able to do for the last 441 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 12: week right now, So I think you're going to have 442 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 12: a lot of people watching not only that, but the 443 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 12: actual turnout, people actually going to the poles in these 444 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 12: swing states too. And you know what, anybody that says 445 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 12: they haven't made up their mind by this point, I 446 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 12: mean I think there's two percent of voters that said 447 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 12: they haven't chosen a candidate right now. I think everybody 448 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 12: that is going to vote knows who they are going 449 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 12: to vote for at this point in time. 450 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is going to be interesting because 451 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 3: I think that there are so many doubts about the 452 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 3: polls that you're almost engaged right to the last minute. 453 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 9: Day. 454 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: Tell me something, why is this guy on deathrow Missouri 455 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: being executed? 456 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 12: When they were questions, Well, there were a lot of questions, 457 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 12: You're right, and that's why there's been so much blowback 458 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 12: on that fifty five year old guy. He died of 459 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 12: lethal injection. The office that originally tried the case suggests 460 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 12: he was wrongfully convicted. And you've got a Republican attorney 461 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 12: general who pushed forward with this against the wishes of 462 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 12: the prosecuting attorney's office, and even a lot of drawers 463 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 12: who were on the trial that decided that they opposed 464 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 12: his execution. And this guy was accused of killing a 465 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 12: social worker and a former news reporter for a newspaper, 466 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 12: breaking into her home, stabbing her to death, stealing several 467 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 12: of her belongings. But they couldn't find any forensic evidence 468 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 12: linking him to the murder weapon or the crime scene, 469 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 12: and so the prosecutors renounced his conviction. The victim's family 470 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 12: came forward, several trial drawers also came forward and said 471 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 12: they opposed the execution, but they went ahead with it. Nonetheless. 472 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, that's a problematic, isn't it. 473 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 4: Now? 474 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 3: She did he a So we've got another woman who's 475 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 3: making allegations. Well, she got to. 476 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 12: Say, well, this goes back about twenty years ago, and 477 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 12: it was a lawsuit that was just filed today, and 478 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 12: this alleges that she along with Diddy and another man. 479 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 12: I guess it was his bodyguard. They had a security 480 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 12: at the time, gave her a drink and they think 481 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 12: it was laced with some kind of drug and she 482 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 12: passed out in a recording studio and she was assaulted 483 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 12: and they recorded her, and Combs and the other man 484 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 12: allegedly showed the video to a number of other men, 485 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 12: and they're saying, you know, for a number of reasons, 486 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 12: to humiliate her and for a few other things. And 487 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 12: so this suit has come out, and of course this 488 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 12: comes out just you know, a little over a week 489 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 12: after prosecutes to prosecutors accused him of sex trafficking and 490 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 12: abusing other women. So are other people going to come 491 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 12: out against him? If I was a betting man, I 492 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 12: would say there's a ninety nine percent chance that this 493 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 12: is just the tip of the iceberg for this guy. 494 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 3: Dan, thank you, I appreciate it.

The cost to Northland 520 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 13: was massive, as the Energy Minister Simeon Brown outlined in 521 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 13: Parliament this afternoon. 522 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 19: The report identifies a range of estimates between thirty seven 523 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 19: point five million and eighty million dollars of lost economic 524 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 19: activity for Northland. The report recounts how concerns are raised 525 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 19: by senior engineer within Transpower in twenty twenty one regarding 526 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 19: a gap in the knowledge of maintenance crews undertaking foundation work, 527 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 19: but that the recommendations improvement by Transpower were not acted on. 528 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 19: And the report also identifies that the removal of all 529 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 19: the nuts from the base plates from more than one 530 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 19: tower leg was not a one off event. 531 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 20: I have a question to the minister whether or not 532 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 20: the government is considering compensation and whether that will be 533 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 20: provided to effective businesses and residents, and whether that is 534 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 20: something that has been actively pursued by the government. 535 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 12: Yeah. 536 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 13: Well that question came from Megan Woods, who was the 537 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 13: Energy Minister at the time when Transpower was alerted to 538 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 13: the major problem the disconnect between maintenance crews and the 539 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 13: company itself. So I think you're. 540 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 3: Talking about the senior the senior engineer who in twenty 541 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 3: twenty one warned Transpower that this guy's doing the word 542 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 3: we made recommendation, didn't realize what they were doing. No, yes, 543 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 3: but do you really expect that Meghan Woods knew that 544 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 3: level of detail of what transpower? I think this is 545 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 3: a transpower problem, not a Megan. 546 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 13: No no, true. But I just thought that her getting 547 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 13: up and saying that that she was the minister at 548 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 13: the time, and I think it was probably a bit 549 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 13: rich coming from her. 550 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 3: I feel like there should be some copper for the 551 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 3: people in Northland. So whoever advocates for them at the moment, whatever, right, yeah, 552 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: thank you, So you make Takuta Ferris is off to 553 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 3: the Privileges Committee. 554 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, we all know what happened last Wednesday. Today, though, 555 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 13: I've got to say Ferris was digging his whole even deeper, 556 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 13: appearing holier than thou, quoting at length and iahu chair 557 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 13: justin deeper talking about the Treaty Principals Bill. 558 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 19: You can't have a reasonable, reasonable debate with a person 559 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 19: or party who just thought the truth. 560 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 13: Yeah, well, he should look at his own principles following 561 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 13: the denial he made last week lies. 562 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 19: In other words, many in this House are masters of it. 563 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 14: If that is what the members said, then he should 564 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 14: withdraw and apologize as quickly as possible. 565 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 8: I haven't made this sement. 566 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 21: Yeah. 567 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 13: Well today the Speaker, Jerry Brownie said off to the 568 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 13: sinbin to explain himself. 569 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 14: Following a point of order alleging that he had called 570 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 14: members liars. Mister Ferris replied to me, quote, I haven't 571 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 14: made that statement, and denying that he made the statement. 572 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 14: It is possible that mister Ferris has himself deliberately misled 573 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 14: the House. That is a matter for the Privileges Committee 574 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 14: to judge. 575 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 13: Well, I can save them the time and effort for 576 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 13: that as well. Heather that he clearly did mislead the 577 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 13: House and now I guess it's the penalty that now 578 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 13: they'll now bestow upon him which will be of the 579 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 13: most interest, and I would imagine his risk is going 580 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 13: to be rather sore after a bus tickets. 581 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: I mean, it's the Privileges Committee who cares. But have 582 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 3: we heard from the Malori party yet? 583 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 13: No, we haven't once they had the opportunity, And this 584 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 13: is supreme arrogance to me in Parliament. If you have 585 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 13: some standards, and we've looked at the standards in the 586 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 13: debating chamber and they have diminished considerably. I think in 587 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 13: recent years. I've got to say this nothing to do 588 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 13: with Jerry Brownie. Jerry Brownie, I think has been a 589 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 13: very good chairman. He gives much more latitude than what 590 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 13: other speakers have done, and I think people feel that 591 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 13: they're a bit more involved. But the standards in the 592 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 13: House for some of the morons that stand up and 593 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 13: make points like this one, I think they have to 594 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 13: be pulled up because I guess the dignity of Parliament 595 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 13: has to be maintained. And you can't call you colleagues liars. 596 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 3: Barry, what do you make of Chris Luckson's chief media guy, 597 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: Hamish Rutherford quitting after ten months? Well job. 598 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 13: It's interesting when you consider that he has worked with 599 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 13: and for Chris Luckson for almost two years because when 600 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 13: Luckson was the leader of the Opposition, of course, Hamish 601 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 13: left The Herald in his business role there and went 602 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 13: to work for him, so he knows he would know 603 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 13: Luxon pretty well. By now, I've done a bit of 604 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 13: a talking around to see what sort of boss that 605 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 13: Chris Luckson would be. The phrases that I was offered 606 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 13: was hard charging, whatever that means, relentless, tough, task master, 607 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 13: doing a lot of social media, which has said has 608 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 13: been suggested to me is something of an obsession for him. 609 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 13: But you know, you would say all those attributes are 610 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 13: what you would expect in a leader. 611 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 3: I've heard micromanager doesn't take advice. 612 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 13: Well, maybe that, and maybe at times is a bit 613 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 13: indiscreet about the people who are working for and around him. 614 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 3: I think when you listen, Barry, when you become the 615 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 3: media guy for someone who's going to be the prime 616 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 3: minister and after ten months you decide you don't want 617 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 3: to do the job anymore, I think that's a poor 618 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 3: reflection of something's gone wrong here in the relationship between 619 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 3: the two of them, right. 620 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 13: Well, because something's gone wrong with one of them, one 621 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 13: or the other. I haven't talked to you, Hamish, because 622 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 13: I thought I'd rather talk to others just to see 623 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 13: how things. 624 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 3: He's too classy to say anything bad about Chris Luxen. 625 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 3: Oh all right, Barry, thanks very much, appreciate it.

I think that that people who 666 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 3: are generally high achievers, and I would put Chris Luxen 667 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 3: in that category, are not always the easiest people to 668 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 3: work with, are they right?

He's the Prime Minister. He 671 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: will not be easy to work with. So there's an 672 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 3: element of that, and for that reason you have to 673 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 3: give him some grades. I don't think he would be 674 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 3: easy to work with. I don't think Cinder was easy. 675 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 3: I know, just Cinder wasn't easy to work with. I 676 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 3: don't think Helen Clark would be easy to work with. 677 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 3: There were times when John Key wasn't easy to work with. 678 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, fair enough, and you expect them to be 679 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: hard to ask masters, don't you now? Transpower. Transpower is 680 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 3: still refusing to come on this show. We called them up. 681 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 3: We said, hey, can you come on tell us you 682 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 3: know how you've improved since you took your men, took 683 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 3: all of the nuts off and made the thing fall over. 684 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 3: They said, no, not going to come on the show 685 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 3: or speak to any other show on newstog ZB. We're 686 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 3: not going to speak to hear duplassy Ellen driver. Kenzie 687 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 3: the other producer said okay, but we are going to 688 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 3: tell the audience this. Can we just check that this 689 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 3: is accurate? You do actually mean this? And they were 690 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 3: like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally yeah, say it 691 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 3: and I'm summarizing obviously they're like say it on air. 692 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 3: And then I was like, Kenzie, why why weren't they 693 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 3: come on? What's wrong? And then oh, it's because of this. 694 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 24: It is unprecedented and inconceivable that so many nuts were 695 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 24: moved at once. 696 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 3: That's still holding a grudge about the clown music the 697 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 3: clown It was back in June, wasn't it June? Thus 698 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 3: still holding on let's play it again, Andy, No got 699 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 3: to play it again. 700 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 24: It is unprecedented and inconceivable that so many nuts were 701 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 24: removed at once. 702 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 3: If they could have just come on the show and 703 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 3: then we wouldn't have played the clown music to I 704 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 3: say so, that's a failed media strategy. Sam and Brown's 705 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 3: with us next on that. 706 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 2: The only drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 707 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 2: get the answers by the facts and give the analysis. 708 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: Heather due to Clan Drive with One New Zealand. Let's 709 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: get connected and you talk as they'd be. 710 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 3: Afternoon. The final report into the Northland Power pylon collapse 711 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: has found, surprise, surprise, it was entirely avoidable. The report 712 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 3: found several key failures, including the fact that Transpower was 713 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 3: overly reliant on contractors and back in twenty twenty one, 714 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 3: a senior engineer had actually raised concerns that those maintenance 715 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 3: crews that they were over reliant on just didn't know 716 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 3: what they were doing. Minister for Energy Simmon Brown is 717 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 3: with us. Now, Hey, Simon, good afternoon. When did it 718 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 3: happen before? 719 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 19: Well, I've been given advice that there were that there 720 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 19: were three previous occasions. On the seventeenth of June, eighteenth 721 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,479 Speaker 19: of June and six to seventh of June this year. 722 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 19: So that is the advice that's been in the report. 723 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 19: But I think what in addition to the report, But 724 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 19: I think what I would I would say is what 725 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 19: the engineer from Transpower identified back in twenty twenty one 726 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 19: was a gap. So I don't know if there were 727 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 19: further occasions side of the occasions that we're actually aware of, 728 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 19: and ultimately Transpowered didn't do anything in relation to addressing 729 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 19: those concerns from twenty twenty one and that has led 730 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 19: to what happened in Northland in June this year, which 731 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 19: was completely unacceptable and avoidable. 732 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,760 Speaker 3: Okay, So on the three occasions previous to this one 733 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 3: where the nuts were taken out of more than one 734 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 3: leg at a time, was it the same crew, was 735 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 3: it the same contractor. 736 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 19: That is my understanding, and this is powers in the 737 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 19: nearby area which will be worked. 738 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 3: Are you telling me it was Omexom all four times? 739 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 19: Well, I can't confirm that right now. I've been confirmed 740 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 19: that there was three previous occasions, and this is in 741 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 19: regards to the same thing happening obviously within a very 742 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 19: close period of time. In relation to that same behavior, happening. 743 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 19: So I think what this is identified and I guess, 744 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 19: I guess what this report has identified is that this 745 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 19: behavior has been happening. It has led to this horrific 746 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 19: event happening in Northland. But more importantly, they knew about 747 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 19: this problem back in twenty twenty one and nothing was 748 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,479 Speaker 19: done then, and that shows issues around what happened around 749 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 19: that report from the engineer, how it was not taken 750 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 19: into account. And that's why this report is so important 751 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 19: to send the message to Transpower around its management of 752 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 19: its contractors, the procegues it needs to have in place, 753 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 19: the training and also the governance assurance that's required over 754 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 19: top of all of that from its board downwards to 755 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 19: make sure the appropriate policies and proscegues are being implemented 756 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 19: to keep our electricity system secure. 757 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 3: So mean, the three other times that they took the 758 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 3: nuts out of more than one pilon league at a time, 759 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 3: why didn't the pylons fall over on those occasions. 760 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 19: Well, the particular site which where it did fall over, 761 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 19: it's all to do with the tensioning. The one that 762 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 19: it did fall over was on a corner, and so 763 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 19: when you have the tensioning pulling it over from one side, 764 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 19: and where the wires are turning a corner, you're going 765 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 19: to have that pressure which is getting applied and then 766 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 19: and then and then fell So they took off they 767 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 19: took off the bolts and the nuts on the legs 768 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 19: which were supporting the tower against that tension, and as 769 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 19: they did it for both of those legs, ultimately that 770 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 19: tension meant that it fell over. 771 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 3: Saman when they did this on the other occasions, did 772 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 3: they realized that it was the wrong thing to do 773 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 3: before they did it? When that, you know, like, did 774 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 3: they realize, whoops, we shouldn't be doing it and then 775 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 3: they did it anyway in the pilon for what fell over? 776 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 3: Or did we realize after the fact that this was 777 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 3: about the fourth time they've done it. 778 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 19: Oh, well, after the fact that's come through because of 779 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 19: the minute that the report has obviously gone in there 780 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 19: and asked these questions. And that's why this report is 781 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 19: so important that we did that. 782 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 3: Loving OMIXM, because not only do we find out so 783 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 3: they made the pilon fall over one time, they've possibly 784 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 3: done it three other times and now it turns out 785 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 3: they're also not giving the information to the electricity Authority 786 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 3: the electric They basically didn't let them talk to their contractors. 787 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 3: Do we need to stop Transpower using this lot? 788 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 19: Well, one of the recommendations here is allowed allowing the 789 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 19: Electricity Authority to be able to have more powers to 790 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 19: excess information. Will be MB's going to be looking at 791 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 19: that and giving me some advice on that, and I 792 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 19: think that's something which we actually need to be allowing 793 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 19: the electricty authority to ask the questions, get the information 794 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 19: so that they can actually get to the bottom of 795 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 19: these issues. In relation to the decontracting policies and particular companies, 796 00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 19: I can't comment on that. They are stay only enterprise. 797 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 19: They are ultimately responsible and accountable, and I will suggest 798 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 19: you ask all they're responsible that and I suggest you 799 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 19: put those questions to Transpower. They are questions that they 800 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 19: should be answering. 801 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 3: Yes, we'd love to. Transpower has got a problem with 802 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 3: our clown music. Simeon, thank you, Simme and Brown. The 803 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 3: Ministry for Energy a Minister for Energy rather apparently so 804 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 3: Omixon Electricity Authority tried to speak to the contractors who 805 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 3: work for Omixon who took out the nuts. But even 806 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 3: though they tried, they say they asked the questions. We've 807 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 3: got a series of information from the contract to some 808 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 3: of it was suggest subjective. It reads like Omixon said, Nah, 809 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 3: you can't talk to our people. Twelve past five. 810 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: Heather, do for see Ellen. 811 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 3: The situation in the Middle East was sent to stage 812 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 3: at the UN General Assembly. Today, world leaders have come 813 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 3: to New York to discuss the escalating conflicts in Lebanon 814 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 3: and Gaza. 815 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 25: We should all be alarmed by the escalation. Lebanon is 816 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 25: at the brim. The people of Lebanon, the people of Israel, 817 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 25: and the people of the world cannot afford Lebanon to 818 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 25: become another Gaza. 819 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 3: Maghribashia is a Voice of America's UN correspondent. Hey, Margaret, 820 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 3: Hi there, Heather, Good to talk to you again. Listen. 821 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 3: Tell me what kind of a reception do you think 822 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 3: Nitinyaho's going to receive when he arrives. 823 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 7: Well, if today's discussion is any indication, it's going to 824 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 7: be a bit frosty. The speeches on Tuesday were very 825 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,240 Speaker 7: strong against Israel for the war in Gaza. We heard 826 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 7: from the Emir of Qatar, who's one of the three 827 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 7: countries that's working to get the Sea Spire with the 828 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 7: United States in Egypt, and he called the situation in 829 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 7: the Palestinian territory a genocide. He said he's still working 830 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 7: to get a sea spire, but he was, you know, 831 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,439 Speaker 7: very strong about what the situation was. We heard from 832 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 7: the Turkish President Raped Teyep Erdawan, who was also extremely 833 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 7: strong and emotional in his speech. You know, he is 834 00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 7: a vocal supporter of Hamas, which is a us as 835 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 7: a a terror group, and he directed a lot of 836 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 7: his comments at Israel. He said, they're disregarding human rights, 837 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 7: they're trampling international law at every opportunity, they're practicing ethnic cleansing. 838 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 7: I mean, he was really incensed about it. And King 839 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 7: Abdullah of Jordan as well, and he said, listen, you're 840 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 7: not sending the Palestinians here. It's not going to be 841 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 7: an alternate, alternative homeland for them. They're staying where they are. 842 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,399 Speaker 7: So there were a lot of strong things, and not 843 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 7: just from the neighbors, from other countries in the global South. 844 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 3: There seems to be mountain criticism at least an our 845 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,760 Speaker 3: part of the world of the UN for being nothing 846 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 3: more than a talk fest at the moment. Realistically, realistically, 847 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 3: what can or will the UN actually do to enforce 848 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 3: a ceasefire or create one. 849 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 7: Look, it's not their job right now to create the seaspire. 850 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 7: The United States Kutur in Egypt have taken over that 851 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 7: role and they've been doing it for months. And they 852 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 7: they did get the Security Council to endorse a couple 853 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 7: of months ago the proposal that President Biden said the 854 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 7: Israelis put forward for a ceasefire in Gaza. But that 855 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 7: has just really gone nowhere. We keep hearing that it's 856 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 7: you know, ninety percent there, but it's just not you know, 857 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 7: quite the devils in the details. But now we've had 858 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 7: this terrible escalation this week in Lebanon. So it's you know, 859 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 7: leaders are very frustrated. We hear it every week in 860 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 7: the UN Security Council because there's a meeting on Gaza 861 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 7: practically every week in the Security Council. There will be 862 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 7: one this Friday night. There'll be an emergency meeting on 863 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 7: Lebanon Wednesday night as well. So there is growing frustration 864 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,439 Speaker 7: with the lack of a ceasefire, and as casualties mount 865 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 7: and as this war spreads and threatens the entire region, 866 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 7: So what can they practically do it's up to world leaders. 867 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 7: You need political will. That's the bottom line that the 868 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 7: Secretary General doesn't have his own army. He can't tell 869 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 7: people stop what you're doing. 870 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 3: Yeah to right, Margaret, Thank you Margaret, but she a 871 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 3: Voice of America's uing correspondent, Heather du Cela Hey a 872 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 3: development in just the last few minutes on the situation 873 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 3: in Israel.

Word is Damien McKenzie is going to 900 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 3: be dropped at ten for the test this weekend. Boden 901 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 3: Barrett is going to replace him. Liam Napier at the 902 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 3: New Zealand Herald broke the story and is. 903 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 4: With us, Hey, Liam, evening, Heather. 904 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 3: What's happened here? Has Damien just used up? As chances? 905 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 19: Well? 906 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 26: Look the so far this year Scott Robinson has retained 907 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 26: unwavering trust to McKenzie, but you say eight tests this year, 908 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 26: but you're never sure about these things until they're officially dropped. 909 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,280 Speaker 26: But certainly the Windy City carries strong whispers that Boden 910 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,799 Speaker 26: Barrett will be at ten this week and it will 911 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 26: be a big chance for him as it will be 912 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,759 Speaker 26: his first test at number ten for the All Black 913 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 26: since November twenty twenty two. 914 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 3: Now, I mean the thing about it is taking Damien 915 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 3: off the off the field actually gives them a couple 916 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,240 Speaker 3: of really good performers on the field. Right, it's Boden 917 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 3: Barret at number ten and it's Will Jordan at fullback. 918 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 3: How much of this is about actually trying to get 919 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 3: rid of Damien or trying to get those two guys on. 920 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 26: I think it's about looking at alternatives. I don't think 921 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 26: it's about moving on from Damien completely, but it's about 922 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 26: having a look at some different combinations. Will Jordan was 923 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 26: very good at fullback last week. That's his favorite position. 924 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 26: Boden Barrett wants to play ten, He's made no secret 925 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 26: of that. And you have to have options. And the 926 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 26: All Blacks this is their last test at home this year. 927 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 26: They're about to head north later in the air for 928 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 26: three very grueling tests against England's Islands and France, and 929 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 26: so they need alternative options. They need to find out now. 930 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,760 Speaker 26: They need to have a look at these things because 931 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,719 Speaker 26: if they don't, then they're in a bit of a 932 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 26: hole and they haven't tried out other options. 933 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 3: It's going to knock his confidence, isn't it. 934 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 26: But it also might have been plans behind the scenes. 935 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 26: I'm sure there's discussions that would have gone on. Damien 936 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 26: would have been aware of it, but he's had eight chances. 937 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 26: He's performed well in some matches, but game management's the 938 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 26: big question with Damien. He's a bit of a fly 939 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 26: in the bottle. He's a bit of a free spirit. 940 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 26: And the All Blacks haven't scored a point in the 941 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 26: last quarter of their last five test Heather, and that's 942 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 26: a major problem. 943 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 7: And that's not on him alone, but it. 944 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,920 Speaker 26: Is a responsibility that you expect your game driver to 945 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 26: put you in the right areas of the field and 946 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 26: to convert chances, and that's been very problematic for this 947 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:34,959 Speaker 26: All Black team. 948 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, thank you for that, Liam appreciated. Liam Napier, 949 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 3: the Herald's chief sports writer, coming up twenty two. 950 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,919 Speaker 2: Past five, Digging Deeper into the day's headlines. It's Heather 951 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 2: dupas Allen drive with one New Zealand let's get connected 952 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 2: and used dogs. 953 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 3: That'd be twenty four past five. 954 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 26: Listen. 955 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 3: There has been a fair bit of criticism of the 956 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 3: UN in recent times for its inability to end the 957 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 3: war in Gaza, which you know is obviously now spread 958 00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 3: to Lebanon, and in particular of the the UN's Security 959 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 3: Council for basically being the reason that the UN does 960 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 3: nothing because the veto power given to the permanent members 961 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 3: of the Security Council. Halen Clark has had a crack 962 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 3: in the last few days when Stampeders himself has had 963 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 3: a crack at the UN, and then also Antonio Gutete's 964 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 3: the head of the UN, has had a crack at 965 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,760 Speaker 3: the Security Council just in the last couple of weeks. 966 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 3: These guys have all got a point and what they're saying, 967 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,719 Speaker 3: the Security Council is outdated, it's unfair, and it's ineffective. 968 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,320 Speaker 3: It rewards the big powers with more powers, while the 969 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,399 Speaker 3: smaller countries like ours do not get to veto things 970 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 3: and just kind of have to lump a lot that 971 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 3: just lump what we're given Hopefully all of this pressure 972 00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,359 Speaker 3: that's coming on the Security Council and on the UN 973 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 3: will actually lead to some reform of the Security Council, hopefully. 974 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 3: But and I can't actually believe that I'm saying this 975 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 3: because most of the time the UN just irritates me 976 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 3: incessantly because they just get up to all kinds of nonsense. 977 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 3: But the UN is actually doing what it was supposed 978 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 3: to do. Some of the criticism is unfair. It is 979 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 3: actually doing what it was supposed to do. It was 980 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 3: set up to stop another world war. It was not 981 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 3: set up to stop wars. Wars happen. It was set 982 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 3: up to stop a world war. And it has done 983 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 3: its job. I mean, it was set up in nineteen 984 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 3: forty five post Second World War. There has not been 985 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,439 Speaker 3: another World war right now. It's not perfect. I mean, 986 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 3: it is something of a joke that one of the 987 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 3: permanent members of the Security Council, Russia, is in the 988 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,360 Speaker 3: middle right now of an invasion of a neighboring country, Ukraine. 989 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 3: That makes something of a mockery of the Security Council, 990 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 3: doesn't it, And is upsetting to see some other Security 991 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 3: Council members the US use the power to protect what 992 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,760 Speaker 3: Israel is doing. And yes, maybe that does call for reform. 993 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 3: But all I would say is if there is reform, 994 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 3: tread carefully so that that reform doesn't actually stop the 995 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 3: UN doing its actual job. And the actual job is 996 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,439 Speaker 3: to prevent a world war.

It's come slightly off the 1026 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 3: record profit of last year, but it's still pretty good. 1027 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,960 Speaker 3: It's above a billion and there was a whoa, quite 1028 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,879 Speaker 3: a nice little dividend in there for people fifty five 1029 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 3: cents a share, so be pretty stoked about it.

A 1034 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 3: and Z CEO Antonia Watson says that she supports one. 1035 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,760 Speaker 7: If someone had the courage to do it, I wouldn't 1036 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 7: be jumping out of bed with joy. 1037 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 3: But in terms of the overall fairness, it's probably a 1038 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 3: fair way to tax another part of income in this economy. 1039 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 3: And Tonia was not available to speak with us about it. 1040 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 3: Am Z told us this is her personal opinion, not 1041 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 3: the bank's opinion. PwC tax partner Sandy Low joins us 1042 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 3: now on the say, Sandy. 1043 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 23: Good afternoon, why would a. 1044 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 3: Bank CEO endorse the CGT look. 1045 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,920 Speaker 23: I think around Cavill Gaines tax has been around for 1046 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 23: quite a while, and over the last few years, in 1047 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 23: particular the last couple of elections, there's been a much 1048 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,439 Speaker 23: more discussion around it, and I guess as we look 1049 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 23: ahead at New Zealand in general, including some of the 1050 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 23: key factors like our tangent demographics, and thinking about the 1051 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,360 Speaker 23: level of tax that we're collecting, it's one of the 1052 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:49,520 Speaker 23: topics taught them more and more because as the country 1053 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 23: needs to grapple, was making sure we are collecting enough 1054 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 23: tax to meet the extended our expended to needs in 1055 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 23: the most efficient manner. So I guess that's why lots 1056 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 23: more people are thinking and talking about it. 1057 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 8: Is it? 1058 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 3: I mean, look, the thing is sandy in terms of 1059 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,879 Speaker 3: our actual tax revenue, right, it's not going to bring 1060 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 3: that much. Is less than what like, it's less than 1061 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 3: half of one percent. It's really hard to comply with, 1062 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 3: It's really hard to collect. Is this just a case 1063 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 3: of people wanting to get on the right side of 1064 00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:19,879 Speaker 3: history on this one? 1065 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 23: I think in terms of thinking about the overall tax system, 1066 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 23: and I think it's actually one of the questions that 1067 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 23: in a revenue is going to be thinking about as 1068 00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,520 Speaker 23: part of their long term insights. Brief thing which is 1069 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 23: actually is thinking about this. Does New Zealand's tax system 1070 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 23: from a structural perspective? Is it going to meet this 1071 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,520 Speaker 23: future needs? And I think that's the piece around it. 1072 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,680 Speaker 23: And I don't think having a capital gains tax that's 1073 00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 23: going to be the sillabullets for to sick and it 1074 00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,839 Speaker 23: will fix all the problems, but it may be one 1075 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,360 Speaker 23: of the few things that needs to be done to 1076 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 23: make sure that our tax system continues to be fit 1077 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 23: for the future. Athlete go ahead to go along for 1078 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:03,720 Speaker 23: a long time. 1079 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 3: Let's say sandy for the purposes of this exercise. You 1080 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 3: are the Finance minister, and you're so popular that you 1081 00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,800 Speaker 3: do anything you want. Would you introduce the CGT? 1082 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 23: Look, I think there's a bunch of different options that 1083 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 23: are put on the that could be put on the table, 1084 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 23: and I think it's ultimately always going to be a 1085 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 23: balancing act, right And I think one of the things 1086 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 23: that we have seen in particular in the last government 1087 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 23: was around that discussion of something alternative to a capital 1088 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 23: gains tax, which was discussion around the wealth taxes. So 1089 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,960 Speaker 23: I guess the key thing is looking at it, and 1090 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 23: ultimately we have taxes is to make sure that we 1091 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,000 Speaker 23: generate enough the government can collink enough revenue in the 1092 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 23: most efficient manner. So it's thinking about is this the 1093 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 23: best way to collect the amount of cash that the 1094 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 23: government needs, and if capital gains tax might be one 1095 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 23: of the ones that's in the mixt I think about. 1096 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 3: Okay, Sandy, Thanks, thank you very much, Sandy Low, PwC 1097 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 3: Tax Partner. 1098 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,520 Speaker 2: The Huddle with New Zealand's Southerbe's International Realty, Local and 1099 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 2: global exposure. 1100 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 3: Like no other on the Huddle with me this evening. 1101 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,719 Speaker 3: David farre Kee, we blogging Curiapolster and Jack Tame, host 1102 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,320 Speaker 3: of Saturday Mornings on News talksz'bn Q and A Highlands 1103 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,879 Speaker 3: Thank you, Jack on board of it? Are you bored 1104 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:21,319 Speaker 3: of it? I'm so bored of it. It's like an 1105 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,879 Speaker 3: old idea. We've rejected it, Get something new, move on. 1106 00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,360 Speaker 27: Well we've rejected it, but we haven't rejected the reason 1107 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 27: that we are still talking about it, which is that 1108 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,400 Speaker 27: New Zealand doesn't have sufficient revenue at the moment to 1109 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 27: sustain the kind of services that most New Zealanders expect 1110 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,120 Speaker 27: will be part of our lives going into the future. 1111 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 27: And I think until we address that fundamental problem, we're 1112 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 27: going to keep having this old conversation. I mean, you 1113 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 27: can debate about the effectiveness of throwing money at problems, 1114 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 27: and I think if we've learned anything in recent years, 1115 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 27: it's that throwing at money. Throwing money at problems doesn't 1116 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 27: automatically make them go away. But we still have a 1117 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 27: massive infrastructure deficit, we have an aging population, we have 1118 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,880 Speaker 27: massive needs in our healthcare system, and I think it 1119 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 27: is inevitable that New Zealand is going to have to 1120 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 27: broaden its tax base going into the future if we 1121 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,360 Speaker 27: want to have the kind of country that most of 1122 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,760 Speaker 27: us would think we'd like to live in. I also 1123 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,759 Speaker 27: think there's still a famous question at the heart of it. 1124 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,640 Speaker 27: I mean, I can't get reasonable people to explain to 1125 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 27: me why someone working two jobs cleaning toilets through the 1126 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 27: middle of the night in South Auckland is taxed at 1127 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,760 Speaker 27: a marginal rate, whereas someone who buys a house, holds 1128 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 27: it for four years and then in flecks it on 1129 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,720 Speaker 27: isn't taxed at least a little bit on their capital 1130 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:34,720 Speaker 27: gain during that period. 1131 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,799 Speaker 7: So yeah, I think this is inevitable. 1132 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,680 Speaker 27: And one of the things that I think is curious 1133 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 27: hether is the timing of this conversation. I reckon there 1134 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 27: are a lot of people who are thinking, you know what, 1135 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 27: if it comes down to a binary choice between a 1136 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,799 Speaker 27: wealth tax and a CGT, a CGT makes sense for 1137 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 27: so many more reasons. 1138 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,759 Speaker 3: David, what's your polling telling you? Because a lot of 1139 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 3: the time you hear people say, oh, it's time has come. 1140 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 3: People are much more on board with it now than 1141 00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 3: they were ten years ago. What are you seeing. 1142 00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 4: People like the idea of other people pay more tax. 1143 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,399 Speaker 21: Whatever you fall on tax, people don't want to pay 1144 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 21: more but they want other people to pay more. A 1145 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 21: CGT with no details is actually quite popular because no 1146 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:17,879 Speaker 21: one thinks it will hit them. 1147 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 4: But the moment you get into a specific model. 1148 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 21: And when people realize it's going to affect their backs, 1149 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,640 Speaker 21: it might effect there their sheer portfolio, et cetera, et cetera, 1150 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 21: then it starts to die a death of a thousand cuts. 1151 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:32,759 Speaker 7: Ed. 1152 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 4: This is this amusing thing with a Z coming out 1153 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 4: for it, because. 1154 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,080 Speaker 21: There is a case for a CGT if you're a 1155 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 21: purist and applied to all capital gains and you lie 1156 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 21: the income text to compensate, but will never apply to 1157 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 21: people's family homes. 1158 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 4: So that would be deeply unpopular. And when the Z 1159 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:57,279 Speaker 4: make its money people that is such a want other 1160 00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 4: people to pay tax. 1161 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 27: That is such a good point. That's the real test 1162 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 27: for Antonio Watson's position on this. Does she support a 1163 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 27: comprehensive CGT someone that applies to the family home, one 1164 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 27: that applies to the family bats, one that applies to 1165 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:10,320 Speaker 27: all capital gains? 1166 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 3: Jack, why should you pay capital gains on your batch? 1167 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:21,760 Speaker 27: I think it's cleaner. I also think, regardless of any asset, 1168 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,239 Speaker 27: if it increases in value and capital value and you 1169 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 27: make a profit from that, then it's reasonable to say 1170 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,399 Speaker 27: family some yep, I think. 1171 00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,400 Speaker 3: But then if you think about that, think about me. 1172 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,480 Speaker 3: Think about it, Jack. So let's say you buy your 1173 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 3: family home for five hundred and you sell it ten 1174 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 3: years later for one meal. Then you pay tax on that. 1175 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 3: How are you going to buy? And because you want 1176 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 3: to buy another house, you now can't afford another comparable house. 1177 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 3: So you just pay tax on your family home. You 1178 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:47,400 Speaker 3: are left me you. 1179 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:48,879 Speaker 8: Can't afford another comparable house. 1180 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,800 Speaker 27: Why wouldn't you be able to afford a comparable house. 1181 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,759 Speaker 3: Because you've just paid tax on the five hundred you've 1182 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:53,799 Speaker 3: made on your family. 1183 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,240 Speaker 27: But that house well, first of all, well you can't. 1184 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,439 Speaker 3: Afford another meal because now you'll. 1185 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 27: Not expect the CGT to apply to I wouldn't expect 1186 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,719 Speaker 27: the CGT to apply at the marginal rate. I don't 1187 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,759 Speaker 27: think many people are suggesting it should apply at the 1188 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 27: marginal rate. Secondly, there you're looking to buy, well, I 1189 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 27: mean that's up for debate, right, but you can make 1190 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:16,360 Speaker 27: it a loss. I just go back to your economic 1191 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 27: point there, that house that you're looking to buy is 1192 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 27: also subject to a CG tech. Yeah, so every house 1193 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 27: is So so you say you can't afford a new house. 1194 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,960 Speaker 27: That new house, that comparable house that you're looking to buy, 1195 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 27: is subjects when it's sold to you exactly the same CGT. 1196 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 27: So no, you're still not a argument makes no sense. 1197 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 27: You say you can't afford it, it's applied exactly the same. 1198 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,920 Speaker 3: Things been married to. You must be a bloody nightmare. 1199 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 3: Listen to me. If you are selling a house for 1200 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 3: a million bucks and then you pay tax and you 1201 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 3: want to buy another house for a million bucks, it's 1202 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 3: still costing you a million bucks. You don't get a 1203 00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:50,080 Speaker 3: discount because that house has got a CGT on it 1204 00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 3: as well. 1205 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 27: But the point is that that house will have also 1206 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 27: had a tax applied. Yes, when it's sold by the 1207 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,000 Speaker 27: person to you, it will have had the same thing applied. 1208 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 27: So a comparable house, the tax will be negligible there 1209 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 27: between the two houses. 1210 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 3: So that makes no sense. 1211 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 4: You're still the governments perfectly money out of both. 1212 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 21: Basically, when you sell your house, the government will make money, 1213 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 21: and the person who sells you the house you're moving. 1214 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 4: Into makes government will make money on that too. 1215 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 3: Yes, but you are still you're moving from a million 1216 00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 3: dollar house to a million dollar house, right, so you are. 1217 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 3: So what I'm arguing is it's I'm just trying to 1218 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 3: argue it shouldn't apply to the family home, as it 1219 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 3: doesn't at the moment and all, should it apply to 1220 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 3: the batch because you're batch is not an investment you're 1221 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 3: trying to make money off. Your batch is your second 1222 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 3: home that you will enjoy. 1223 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:35,800 Speaker 7: Do you think just out of interest? 1224 00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,520 Speaker 27: Do you think for the sake of simplicity and keeping 1225 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,920 Speaker 27: the tax code as simple as possible? I get that 1226 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,360 Speaker 27: from a political perspective, there aren't going to be people 1227 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 27: who support the you know, support having a CGT on 1228 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,760 Speaker 27: the family higme or the badge. But do you think 1229 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 27: that just from a simplicity application perspective, it makes sense 1230 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:57,400 Speaker 27: to have it completely comprehensive on all property sales for example. 1231 00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 3: No, right, yeah, absolutely not a hope text. 1232 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 27: I mean it would certainly certainly less bureaucratic. We can 1233 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 27: probably all agree on this than a wealth text. 1234 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:06,160 Speaker 8: We'd agree on that, right. 1235 00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 3: We don't have to have any of them. It's for me. 1236 00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,480 Speaker 3: It's not a choice of one between the other eyes. 1237 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 12: So what do you do? 1238 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 8: What would you do about an aging population? 1239 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 27: Undred user pays for healthcare. 1240 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeap ration it because if you take all the wealthy, 1241 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 3: greedy buggers out and they go and pay for their 1242 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 3: private healthcare, it's taking least pressure. It takes pressure off 1243 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,440 Speaker 3: the health the public health system. Therefore problem kinder solved. 1244 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,840 Speaker 3: The remainder of the people can use the rest. Yeah okay, yeah. 1245 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 21: Like that. 1246 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,919 Speaker 3: No, you did it because you know we have we can. 1247 00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 3: I know what you think, I know how you vote. 1248 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:45,720 Speaker 3: We'll take a break, come back, and just to take 1249 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 3: fourteen away from six the. 1250 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,480 Speaker 2: Huddle with New Zealand Southby's International Realty Elevate the marketing 1251 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 2: of your home. 1252 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,600 Speaker 3: BA with the Huddle, David Farrh and Jack Tamed. David, 1253 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,880 Speaker 3: did you hear Samon Brown before on with us? 1254 00:59:59,000 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 4: No idea? 1255 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,440 Speaker 3: Okay? Describing, So, assuming that that is what has happened, 1256 01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you what he said. He said 1257 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 3: that the contractor that made the Transpower pylon fall over 1258 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 3: had already the same contractor had already three times before 1259 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 3: taken the nuts out of more than one Pilon league 1260 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 3: at a time. It was just that when they did 1261 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 3: it the fourth time, the pylon fell over. What do 1262 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 3: you think I. 1263 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 21: Think Monty Python should come to New Zealand film a 1264 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 21: show based with Transpower Dorthlyn because you know, to do 1265 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 21: it once because the official story was someone wasn't supervising. 1266 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 4: But to think they be going around the country. 1267 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 8: Right unscreened four. 1268 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,160 Speaker 4: Bolts at a time and just be lucky. It wasn't 1269 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 4: a wit dy day. It really is a stud sheet. 1270 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 4: It's normally I don't support. 1271 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 21: Transpower pain compensation because otherwise we be paying lots more 1272 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,200 Speaker 21: for a power bells. But I think when the incompetence 1273 01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 21: is so gross and it had such an impact, I 1274 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 21: think they should make a good will payment. 1275 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean this was avoidable quite but Jack, 1276 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 3: should it be Transpower or should be omex On, who's 1277 01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:05,920 Speaker 3: done this for the fourth time? 1278 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 27: Well yeah, I mean you'd think it should be a 1279 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 27: mix on. 1280 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 9: Right. 1281 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 7: So there are two questions. 1282 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,000 Speaker 27: First of all, how on earth is this person still 1283 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 27: got a job or how did they still have a 1284 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 27: job if this was the level of training that was 1285 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 27: being provided to them. Something tells me that omicx On 1286 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,920 Speaker 27: maybe doesn't have the means to be paying much compensation, 1287 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 27: But it's remarkable given this had happened so many times 1288 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,960 Speaker 27: before that Transpower was still using them. Although I'm not 1289 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,640 Speaker 27: sure if Simmon Brown is actually clear as to whether 1290 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:36,120 Speaker 27: or not Transpower knew about the previous errors with the bolts. 1291 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 3: Said after the fact, So when it felt when it 1292 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,680 Speaker 3: fell over on the fourth time, they then found out 1293 01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 3: that it happens to me, they. 1294 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,600 Speaker 27: Said, surprises of the fourth time. I mean, I honestly 1295 01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 27: think that Grant McCollum's got a really good point on 1296 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,680 Speaker 27: this front. I think that having some I think it's 1297 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:51,440 Speaker 27: going to be impossible to fully compensate every person in 1298 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 27: business for the tens and millions of dollars and losses 1299 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,960 Speaker 27: caused as a result of this. But but I think 1300 01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 27: saying something like, actually, we're going to cut your bills 1301 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 27: for the next twelve months, you know, not one hundred 1302 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,800 Speaker 27: percent necessarily, but we're gonna meaningfully reduce your bills as 1303 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 27: a result of the inconvenience and expense from this total 1304 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,440 Speaker 27: and utter complete incompetence. I think that'd be a really 1305 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 27: good move. 1306 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, why not? Hey, what do you make David of 1307 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 3: the fact that, actually, according to the well being stats 1308 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,560 Speaker 3: from Stats New Zealand, apparently we are happy, like seven 1309 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,920 Speaker 3: point six out of ten happy, even though we complain 1310 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 3: about everything at the moment. 1311 01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 21: Well as comparing it to I mean, it's much the 1312 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 21: same as what was up five years ago, so you've 1313 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,320 Speaker 21: got that whole COVID period at set. But I think 1314 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 21: in the end of the day, it shows we're a 1315 01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:43,480 Speaker 21: pre resilient country where you know, it's not like a 1316 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,960 Speaker 21: miracle where I think people are so depressed about what's 1317 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,680 Speaker 21: happening to the country. People are literally I know people 1318 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,120 Speaker 21: in New Zealand who get more depressed about what's happey 1319 01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 21: in America than they do worrying about what's happening in 1320 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 21: New Zealand. So that's probably quite a good place to 1321 01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 21: be in when our biggest concerned is whether Donald Trump's 1322 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 21: going to one or not not Yo, are the hospitals working, 1323 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 21: the school's working, etc. So it doesn't surprise me, and 1324 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 21: it's a nice thing to see that we've still got 1325 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 21: that resilience, that degree of happiness, because at the end 1326 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 21: of the day, that's what government is meant to be about, 1327 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,880 Speaker 21: that people going to have happy lives. 1328 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally, We'll have to leave it there, guys.

Hither can you confirm Jack 1345 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,360 Speaker 3: now realizes the error in your counter argument? OMG glaring 1346 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 3: lack of knowledge from Jack on house CG T works. Okay, 1347 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:10,880 Speaker 3: so let me explain to you what Jack was trying. 1348 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,520 Speaker 3: So what I was saying, I'll explain to you what 1349 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 3: I was arguing, which is, if you're selling your house. 1350 01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 3: Let's say you bought your house for five hundy and 1351 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,520 Speaker 3: you're selling your house for one mel and you want 1352 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 3: to buy another house, it's also worth one meal. Now, 1353 01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:21,920 Speaker 3: all of a sudden. Let's just say, I'm just make 1354 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 3: up a number. You have to pay a hundi now 1355 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 3: in capital gains tax. Now you've just sold a one 1356 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,120 Speaker 3: million dollar house. You've only got nine hundred right to 1357 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 3: spend on a house. So now you can't buy another 1358 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,480 Speaker 3: one million dollar house, can you? Because you've only got 1359 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,520 Speaker 3: nine hundred. So this is why you should never pay 1360 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 3: capital gains tax on your house or on your batch, 1361 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,920 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Now, Jack's argument is 1362 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 3: that the capital gains tax, the tax you're gonna pay, 1363 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,880 Speaker 3: is baked into your asking price. So you bought the 1364 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 3: house for five hundy, you're gonna have to you want 1365 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:53,280 Speaker 3: to it's a one million dollar house, but you're gonna 1366 01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 3: have to pay a capital gains tax of one hundred 1367 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,320 Speaker 3: thousand dollars. Therefore, for a one million dollar house, you 1368 01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 3: are charging one one million dollars. Get this, So therefore 1369 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 3: you've got one million in hand to buy another house 1370 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 3: that's also worth one million. But this is where his 1371 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,360 Speaker 3: problem is. This is where Jack's argument falls falls apart, 1372 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,560 Speaker 3: because I'm still trying to buy a house that's worth 1373 01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 3: one million, but they've baked in their capital gains tax 1374 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 3: as well, So their house is not worth one millionaire 1375 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 3: that no, it's worth one point one because they also 1376 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 3: have to pay one hundred thout therefore, so you can 1377 01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,640 Speaker 3: see where he's trying. He was like, you've both baked 1378 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 3: it in. Therefore you'll be fine. It only is fine 1379 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 3: if if they give me a one hundred thoul discount. 1380 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,720 Speaker 3: And they ain't gonna do that. So anyway, never mind. 1381 01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 3: He'll let him think about it overnight. Then think about 1382 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,120 Speaker 3: it overnight, and like at three am he'll wake up. 1383 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 3: We'll just sit up and be like, oh, now, I 1384 01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,640 Speaker 3: now I know what she was trying to. Lady explain 1385 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:49,400 Speaker 3: to me. That's right. Do you know why I was 1386 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,040 Speaker 3: trying to Lady's plain it? Because who does all the 1387 01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 3: finances in a marriage? That's right, me the lady, his wife, 1388 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,439 Speaker 3: not am you know what I mean? Dudes and money. Now, 1389 01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,520 Speaker 3: I was telling, oh, no, I've got to talk about this. 1390 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 3: Polkinghorn is going to be a documentary. Now this is 1391 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 3: not new new New News, but we've got more detail 1392 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 3: on it.

The geopolitics haven't changed it 1460 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,240 Speaker 8: all internationally, so we need we need to keep Beniy 1461 01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 8: on that. But you know, we do need to keep 1462 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 8: an eye on the you know, from a cautious perspective. 1463 01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 8: But you know, as we sit here today, you know 1464 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 8: that the things are looking positive for the year. 1465 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,960 Speaker 3: Hit how are you going selling the consumer brands? 1466 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 8: Early days?

We're 1468 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 8: sort of on track with we would expect to be 1469 01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,679 Speaker 8: at the time of the process, probably in a position 1470 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,960 Speaker 8: sort of late November I think to give another update. 1471 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 8: But we talked about a sort of a twelve to 1472 01:09:25,080 --> 01:09:28,559 Speaker 8: eighty month process in last May, so you know we're 1473 01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 8: still on track for that, but a bit early to say. 1474 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,400 Speaker 3: So if you're going to make an update and you're 1475 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 3: going to give us an update in November, that suggests 1476 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 3: that you might be talking to someone, is that what's up? 1477 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 8: No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't go that far. I mean, 1478 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 8: we've had we've had a lot of interest, as I 1479 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:43,080 Speaker 8: think we've said previously also we've had a lot of 1480 01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 8: interest in it. But but the what will come out 1481 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,040 Speaker 8: in November is probably what the process, what the sale 1482 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,920 Speaker 8: process would look like and then and then we'll probably 1483 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 8: take it to market officially sort of come New years. 1484 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 8: So we're still still early in the process, and it's 1485 01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,960 Speaker 8: a complex that of you know that these businesses are 1486 01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 8: very intertwined. You know, we've got factories around the country 1487 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,040 Speaker 8: here news that that make for consumer and they make 1488 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 8: for ingredients and food service. So it's not a case 1489 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:06,679 Speaker 8: of just picking up a brand and selling that. There's 1490 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:08,519 Speaker 8: a lot of sort of unwinding to do that. That's 1491 01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:09,400 Speaker 8: what's taking the time. 1492 01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 3: Miles. How worried are you about power prices in this country? 1493 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:17,720 Speaker 8: Look, I am. Power prices is one, but security is 1494 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,640 Speaker 8: probably the other one that we need to consider. And 1495 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:21,720 Speaker 8: I know there's a lot of talk around sort of 1496 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 8: lifting the oil gas band, but you know, maybe maybe 1497 01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 8: the horse has bolted on some of that. And I'll 1498 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 8: see some of the announcements around told energy with people today, 1499 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,120 Speaker 8: and you know that those are concerns for us, and 1500 01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,680 Speaker 8: so you know, we can't be in a position where 1501 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:36,920 Speaker 8: we don't have a gas supply or energy supply, so 1502 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:38,920 Speaker 8: that is a concern for us, and we need to 1503 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:40,559 Speaker 8: sort of take the destin into our own hands and 1504 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,720 Speaker 8: make sure we have solutions for that, which we'll do. 1505 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,799 Speaker 3: What kind of solutions, well. 1506 01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,679 Speaker 8: We need to think about, you know what, what energy 1507 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,439 Speaker 8: sources do we use? You know, at the moment we've 1508 01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,519 Speaker 8: sort of got a combination of natural gas and coal. 1509 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 8: We're obviously exiting coal, as we've said previously, but you 1510 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,280 Speaker 8: know as natural gas. The answer do when you think 1511 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 8: about you know, speeding up some electriication, or speeding up 1512 01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,080 Speaker 8: some of our wood buys, or would palettes of borders. 1513 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:03,519 Speaker 8: So we need we need to start thinking about those 1514 01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 8: quite seriously, and again back to the results. You know, 1515 01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,599 Speaker 8: have a balance sheet to be able to think like that, 1516 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,559 Speaker 8: it's bloody helpful when we have been previously. 1517 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,640 Speaker 3: Do you believe OK, so, would your preference be to 1518 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,880 Speaker 3: you know, obviously yxit coal, and would your preference be 1519 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:18,559 Speaker 3: to replace that with gas natural gas? 1520 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,320 Speaker 8: No, I certainly not replace the coal with natural gas. 1521 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 8: But I think we thought natural gas had a longer 1522 01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,920 Speaker 8: runway before we started to think about moving those plants 1523 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 8: out of out of natural gas on on onto something else. 1524 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,559 Speaker 8: But we may need to bring those forward, I guess. 1525 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 3: And would would you like us to find more gas? 1526 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:38,679 Speaker 8: If we could find more gas, it'll be very helpful. 1527 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,080 Speaker 3: Do you think there's more gas? 1528 01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 8: Oh, look at I'm outside of my wheelhouse on that 1529 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 8: one either. You know, if there is more gas, it 1530 01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:46,920 Speaker 8: would be great for it to come onto the market, 1531 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,320 Speaker 8: but as we sit there today, it's certainly constrained and 1532 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 8: that worries not just us, but I think the industry 1533 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 8: as a whole. 1534 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:54,880 Speaker 3: Miles is really good to talk to you, Thank you 1535 01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:59,200 Speaker 3: and enjoy your success today. That's Miles Hurrell, Fonterra's chief executive. Now, Miles, 1536 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,440 Speaker 3: he was talking about Todd Energy's announcement today. Todd's announced 1537 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,200 Speaker 3: that it's going to shed jobs. 1538 01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:04,439 Speaker 10: Now. 1539 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 3: Todd is one of the big players in the gas 1540 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 3: here in New Zealand. It telled Energy one of the 1541 01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 3: subsidiari zones twenty six percent of the offshore poor who 1542 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 3: could a field a Todd's spokesperson told The Herald today 1543 01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 3: that it's reviewing its operations with a focus on simplification 1544 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 3: and efficiency and this is the important thing. Our refocus 1545 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,760 Speaker 3: on New Zealand, coupled with declining gas reserves, means that 1546 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 3: Todd is adopting a simplified structure. Unfortunately, this will also 1547 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 3: result in a reduction in jobs. This is the opposite 1548 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,200 Speaker 3: of what the government wants at the moment. And because 1549 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,799 Speaker 3: Shane Jones has introduced the Oil and Gas band Reversal 1550 01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 3: Bill today, they will be trying to get people like 1551 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 3: Todd and corporations like Todd to increase their presence in 1552 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 3: New Zealand, not decrease. Shane Jones is with us after 1553 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,200 Speaker 3: huff Pass six. We'll talk to him about that thirteen. 1554 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,640 Speaker 2: Past crunching the numbers and getting the results. 1555 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 1: It's Heather Dupice Ellen with. 1556 01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 2: The Business Hours thanks to my HR, the HR platform 1557 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:00,080 Speaker 2: for SME. 1558 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,559 Speaker 3: Hither unless Winston goes rogue and the chances of New 1559 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 3: Zealand having a CGT in the next ten years is minimal. 1560 01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 3: No property going and will vote for any party proposing this. 1561 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:10,880 Speaker 3: And if you think rents a high our weight until 1562 01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 3: that gets built in. Jonathan good point. And also to 1563 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,560 Speaker 3: the point here, there isn't the point of a CGT 1564 01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:17,560 Speaker 3: to take the heat out of the housing market. So 1565 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 3: if everyone bakes a capital gains tax into their asking price, 1566 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 3: while the government might collect lots of tax, we're still 1567 01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 3: putting more heat, not less into the market, making homes 1568 01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,040 Speaker 3: less affordable, not more affordable, which is another good point 1569 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:33,280 Speaker 3: also the argument, okay, our life. Jack has accepted that 1570 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 3: he got it wrong, and he understands where we're coming 1571 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 3: from now. And then he said, well, this is the way, Jess, 1572 01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,639 Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm arguing Jack's argument for you. He said, 1573 01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:43,760 Speaker 3: this is the way that you do it right, is 1574 01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 3: that you buy, you take a knock, you pay the 1575 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:48,760 Speaker 3: tax on your family home, and then you try to 1576 01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,720 Speaker 3: buy another family home that's comparable, but you get a 1577 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:55,320 Speaker 3: tax credit. Like what talk about oversimplifying is over complicating. 1578 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:56,960 Speaker 3: It wasn't the point that he was trying to make 1579 01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,519 Speaker 3: that we need to simplify the tax system, so it's fair. 1580 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,719 Speaker 3: You just have simplified kind of capital gains tax, all encompassing, 1581 01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:04,640 Speaker 3: you don't have to dick around with exemptions and that 1582 01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 3: kind of nonsense. But then all of a sudden, we 1583 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,400 Speaker 3: have to have tax credits so that you can afford 1584 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,559 Speaker 3: the same kind of family home that you just sold. 1585 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,479 Speaker 3: So no, anyway, I think we've have we have we 1586 01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 3: reached the point? Have we reached the point that we 1587 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 3: reached in twenty fourteen and twenty eleven and twenty seventeen 1588 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,040 Speaker 3: and every other Have we reached it? Yeah? Capital gains, 1589 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:22,280 Speaker 3: tax sucks, don't do. 1590 01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:23,599 Speaker 1: It seventeen fteen. 1591 01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:28,960 Speaker 3: I'm getting trolled by Andy the producer, because you know, 1592 01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:31,280 Speaker 3: as to whether you're difficult to work with or not. 1593 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,320 Speaker 3: Andy has made it abundantly clear to me today that 1594 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:34,880 Speaker 3: I am difficult to work with, and he's just going 1595 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:36,160 Speaker 3: to make sure that the rest of the show is 1596 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,840 Speaker 3: a complete shambles, aren't you Andy? Yep, Okay, that's okay, 1597 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,400 Speaker 3: that's fine, thank you. We'll we'll just soldier on seventeen 1598 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:47,120 Speaker 3: past six. Samtrathir We Milford Asset Management. Hello, Sam, evening, Heather, Well, jeez, 1599 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:48,600 Speaker 3: that was a bit rough from Catman Do. How did 1600 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:49,479 Speaker 3: the market received that? 1601 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 26: I like? 1602 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 11: I think it would be fair to say investor expectations 1603 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,000 Speaker 11: weren't that high game to the result, and that turned 1604 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,559 Speaker 11: out to be rightly so. Of the overall performance from 1605 01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,960 Speaker 11: cat Man Do whilst soft compared to the prior year, 1606 01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,839 Speaker 11: So the business went from declaring a headline reported profit 1607 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 11: of thirty six million last year to a loss this 1608 01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,519 Speaker 11: year of forty eight million, which is really driven by 1609 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:13,320 Speaker 11: soft training and a pretty decent impairment against one of 1610 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,599 Speaker 11: its businesses. So consequently they didn't declare a dividend given 1611 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:18,680 Speaker 11: that self performance. 1612 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 8: If you look at the Catmandu. 1613 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 11: Group these days, it includes surf brand and Ripkel as 1614 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:25,439 Speaker 11: well as an outdoor full wheell brand called Obo, so 1615 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,120 Speaker 11: not just selling the buffer jackets everyone knows. But I 1616 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 11: think it really was reflective of subdued economic environment across 1617 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:37,240 Speaker 11: its brands, possibly a bit of increased competition from Macprap 1618 01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:42,640 Speaker 11: Macpack within it's within the Katmandu business, but also was 1619 01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,080 Speaker 11: very consistent across each of the regions it operates in globally, 1620 01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 11: so not surprising, but really confirms that things are tough 1621 01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,160 Speaker 11: out there still for retailers. 1622 01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,640 Speaker 3: Ye on Fonterra, I mean, it's come back a wee 1623 01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,519 Speaker 3: bit from last year's record, but it's still pretty strong, 1624 01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:57,960 Speaker 3: isn't it. 1625 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 11: I think it's a very decent contrast to what's going 1626 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 11: on at Catmandu that the Fonterra results would have kept 1627 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,200 Speaker 11: Farmer shareholders and investors very happy. So they came in 1628 01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:10,040 Speaker 11: and reported earnings and profits at the top end of 1629 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:14,200 Speaker 11: their prior guidance seventy cents per year. That was down 1630 01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 11: from last year's stellar year, which was eighty cents per year, 1631 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,160 Speaker 11: but it still represents a very good year and well 1632 01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:22,200 Speaker 11: above what they have achieved over the past decades. And 1633 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,120 Speaker 11: they did declare a special dividends which wasn't anticipated by 1634 01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 11: sharehoddles of fifteen cents as well, So that shows that 1635 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,559 Speaker 11: the balance sheet as in good shape. If you want 1636 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,880 Speaker 11: it to be critical, you could say that Fonterra was 1637 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 11: a little bit cautious in its guidance for the air head, 1638 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,719 Speaker 11: so only really talking in line with long term targets. 1639 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:40,800 Speaker 11: And they put a pretty wide range on their milk 1640 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 11: plus forecast as well. 1641 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:43,240 Speaker 4: But it's early in the. 1642 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,280 Speaker 11: Season season and I'd expect them to adjust that throughout 1643 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:46,599 Speaker 11: the year. 1644 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,640 Speaker 3: You know, Miles Harrel has made quite a play of 1645 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 3: the fact that there were going to be some really 1646 01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:54,559 Speaker 3: big changes to Fonterra's strategy under him. Are we starting 1647 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:55,559 Speaker 3: to see the benefit of those? 1648 01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,720 Speaker 11: Do you think yes? I think that's really the key 1649 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 11: positive out of the the Fontier result and why I 1650 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,920 Speaker 11: think the share price has been performing the way it 1651 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:07,720 Speaker 11: is is that that strategy, the changes that Miles has 1652 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:11,520 Speaker 11: put in and his management team that prioritization and refocus 1653 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,559 Speaker 11: on the core New Zealand business is now clearly beginning 1654 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 11: to deliver returns for the co op. So if you 1655 01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,320 Speaker 11: look back at the last decade, Fontira had been a 1656 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:23,599 Speaker 11: real underperform on the share market due to largely ongoing 1657 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,840 Speaker 11: issues across its offshore activities, be at their farms in China, 1658 01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:31,120 Speaker 11: South American ventures or its global consumer business. So the 1659 01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:35,240 Speaker 11: changes that Miles has made simplifying the business, focusing in 1660 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,519 Speaker 11: on that core has made it a lot less volatile, 1661 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,640 Speaker 11: more stable, far easier for investors to understand and what 1662 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 11: the share price has performed well since, so I think 1663 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,719 Speaker 11: well done to his management team. They certainly have looked 1664 01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,840 Speaker 11: to make some good decisions and it's flying through to 1665 01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 11: the earnings. The challenge for them is to keep it 1666 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,559 Speaker 11: going and judging by what they're saying today, there is 1667 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:59,719 Speaker 11: further refinement to be made at strategy announcement next week. 1668 01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:01,799 Speaker 3: Sam's always good to talk to you. I really appreciate 1669 01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,160 Speaker 3: your time, mate that Sam Trathui of Milford Asset Management. 1670 01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if you recall, but I was telling 1671 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,120 Speaker 3: you the other day about the vape and Sigi stores 1672 01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:10,519 Speaker 3: that have been fined in this crackdown that's been going on, 1673 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 3: you know, on them selling to underage and stuff, and 1674 01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,519 Speaker 3: one of them got fined eight thousand dollars. This is 1675 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,120 Speaker 3: one in Hawk's Bay. And what they had been doing 1676 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,280 Speaker 3: was they had been selling single cigies. Well, now we've 1677 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 3: got the details of what was going on. Apparently, in 1678 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 3: order to buy the single ciggies from this particular place, 1679 01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,360 Speaker 3: you had to know the code, and the code to 1680 01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 3: buy the single ciggies was whites. You had to say whites. 1681 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,840 Speaker 3: So someone under cover went in and obviously knew the 1682 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,559 Speaker 3: code and asked for two whites and paid five bucks. 1683 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 3: And the two whites were two Double Happiness ciggies. Double 1684 01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:49,599 Speaker 3: Happiness is a Chinese brand ciggi, So that would sugg 1685 01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:52,720 Speaker 3: That would make me think there's some sort of black 1686 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,479 Speaker 3: market thing going on here, which is what the tobacco 1687 01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,120 Speaker 3: companies have been warning about for a while, and we've 1688 01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 3: all sort of been poo pooing and going it's not real. 1689 01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,320 Speaker 3: But apparently it is hell of a markup on the 1690 01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:03,439 Speaker 3: Double Happiness ciggies because you can buy a pack of 1691 01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 3: twenty for six bucks duty free. I had looked today 1692 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,120 Speaker 3: six barks that's thirty cents of siggy, So two siggis 1693 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,400 Speaker 3: at sixty cents and you just paid five bucks for it. 1694 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 5: Wow. 1695 01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 3: No, wonder they were doing that. I mean that that's 1696 01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,040 Speaker 3: a that was an awesome business until they got fined 1697 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:19,800 Speaker 3: eight thousand dollars six twenty two. 1698 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,479 Speaker 1: If it's to do with money, it matters to you. 1699 01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:28,519 Speaker 2: The Business Hour with Heather duper Clan and my HR 1700 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,719 Speaker 2: the HR solution for busy smy on news Talks, I'd. 1701 01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 3: Be Chris Luxon's had quite a good crack at Antonio 1702 01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:38,760 Speaker 3: Watson of a m Z. I'm gonna have to get 1703 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,320 Speaker 3: you through. Actually I'll get you through that before before 1704 01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:42,720 Speaker 3: the end of the program in the next half hour. 1705 01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,439 Speaker 3: So just quickly on his bull I was telling you 1706 01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 3: earlier that his buller had fired, or at least a 1707 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,839 Speaker 3: missile had been fired at Tel Aviv. It was Hezbouller. 1708 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 3: They have confirmed it was them. They say they had 1709 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 3: targeted the headquarters of the intelligence agency moss Ad. So 1710 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 3: just just go in for the aiming for the top. 1711 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:01,160 Speaker 3: They're not gonna waste that miss on anything short of 1712 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,720 Speaker 3: moss Ad claiming Mossad is responsible for assassinating leaders and 1713 01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,200 Speaker 3: blowing up pages and wireless devices. I think we know 1714 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 3: that was moss Ad, so that's not really all that 1715 01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:13,840 Speaker 3: all that controversial. Six twenty five. Now interesting research on 1716 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,120 Speaker 3: what we care about at work and how just how 1717 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,400 Speaker 3: if you feel like the young ones at work? These 1718 01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 3: are like the eighteen to twenty sevens, right, the gen 1719 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,600 Speaker 3: Z guys, if you feel like they are out of 1720 01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 3: step with everybody else at work, you're not imagining it. 1721 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:30,360 Speaker 3: They actually are. They are miserable. Seventy two percent of 1722 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,040 Speaker 3: boomers are super happy at work. That's the vast majority, 1723 01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,160 Speaker 3: just loving the work because it's the end of it. 1724 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,160 Speaker 3: They getting to the end and they know that the 1725 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 3: days are numbered, and so they're just having the best 1726 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 3: time possible. The gen Z is, though, fifty two percent 1727 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:44,960 Speaker 3: of them are happy. So basically how for them are miserable? 1728 01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:47,599 Speaker 3: Everybody got asked to rank, like, what are the most 1729 01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 3: important things for you? And the most important things are 1730 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,360 Speaker 3: Number one purpose, like having a purpose in your job. 1731 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:55,760 Speaker 3: Number two to your day to day responsibilities? Number three 1732 01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,840 Speaker 3: company culture obviously, how is it nice to work there 1733 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,599 Speaker 3: or whatever? Number four salary, Number five stress levels right 1734 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,280 Speaker 3: not the gen Z is No. Number one for them 1735 01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:04,919 Speaker 3: is salary. 1736 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:05,120 Speaker 2: Now. 1737 01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,639 Speaker 3: I can understand that because if you're under twenty seven, 1738 01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:11,240 Speaker 3: you're probably not being paid that much because you're starting 1739 01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 3: out right, and you know you're worth more than that 1740 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 3: in your own head, especially if you're gen Z, you 1741 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,160 Speaker 3: know you're worth more than that, so you're miserable about that. 1742 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 3: But also number two for them is ESG, as in Environmental, 1743 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 3: Social and governance of a business. It was like, really, 1744 01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,160 Speaker 3: that's more important to you than having purpose and stress 1745 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,559 Speaker 3: levels and your day to day responsibilities. I don't get 1746 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,639 Speaker 3: it anyway, so I said to Laura, I said, Laura, 1747 01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 3: call Kenzie in. Get Kenzie in here to come and 1748 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 3: explain to us why is EESG so important to her 1749 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:44,679 Speaker 3: and the rest of Oh no, she's gone home. She's 1750 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,400 Speaker 3: gone home for the day. Kenzy Show's not even finished. 1751 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,559 Speaker 3: Hosts are still here. The other two millennials are still here. 1752 01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,719 Speaker 3: The gen z Is gone home. I feel like Kenzi 1753 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:54,320 Speaker 3: would be in the fifty two percent who are loving 1754 01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,679 Speaker 3: their work because she's not at work, which is why 1755 01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:58,800 Speaker 3: she's loving it. So it will remain a mystery to 1756 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:01,280 Speaker 3: us as to why the gen z Is think that 1757 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,080 Speaker 3: ESG is that important. I don't know and probably will 1758 01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:08,240 Speaker 3: never Kensey coming back tomorrow, who knows, maybe maybe not, 1759 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:10,880 Speaker 3: she's gen Z.

Parliament has basically turned 1775 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,960 Speaker 3: their security staff into quasi a quasi police force. They've 1776 01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 3: given the security. I mean, it wasn't that long ago. 1777 01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,679 Speaker 3: It was Dad's army who were running up and disrespect 1778 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:02,280 Speaker 3: to them. But they were just a lovely bunch of 1779 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,240 Speaker 3: older people who were sort of manning the doors and 1780 01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,479 Speaker 3: you know, chatting to you and stuff.

The powers of arrest will 1783 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,720 Speaker 3: only exist for four hours. So if they arrest you 1784 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,599 Speaker 3: at Parliament and then it's like four hours and one minute. 1785 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,680 Speaker 3: You could be it right by, or or as long 1786 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:26,599 Speaker 3: as the police take to arrive. Then the police arrive 1787 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,960 Speaker 3: and take over.

Some are relatively small and they're 1802 01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 9: willing to invest in the fields that still have a 1803 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,920 Speaker 9: bit of juice left in them. The others that have 1804 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:11,320 Speaker 9: bigger checkbooks are looking to wait and see the final 1805 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,799 Speaker 9: shape and form of the bill. Naturally, they're but fearful 1806 01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,120 Speaker 9: as to whether or not the government's going to change 1807 01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:22,800 Speaker 9: and the Venezuelan orientated Green Party takeover. But I see 1808 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 9: there's a little prospect of that happening. 1809 01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:26,160 Speaker 3: Okay, so what do they want to see in the builder? 1810 01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 3: But guys, before they actually put their money back in 1811 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:29,559 Speaker 3: the country, Oh, they. 1812 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:33,120 Speaker 9: Want to be sure that there's a balanced approach to decommissioning. 1813 01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,000 Speaker 9: That means cleaning up. That's the first thing. Second thing 1814 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,879 Speaker 9: that the process for allocating the consents of the permits, 1815 01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:46,600 Speaker 9: it's rational, and more importantly that whatever rights they secure, 1816 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:51,200 Speaker 9: that they're protected, they're safeguarded, and they're a change of government, 1817 01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:54,839 Speaker 9: doesn't mean that they can be arbitrarily strict. 1818 01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 3: Have you figured out how to do that? 1819 01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:57,880 Speaker 23: Yeah? 1820 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,680 Speaker 9: Yeah, no, No, the bill's got some robust detections. And 1821 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:04,719 Speaker 9: also what are that trainsparent process? Well, number one, if 1822 01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:09,640 Speaker 9: you are allocated a permit, then that permit cannot be 1823 01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 9: summarily stripped away from you. If you are a high 1824 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:17,599 Speaker 9: quality enterite lak someone like Rio Tinto, et cetera, then 1825 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,360 Speaker 9: a great deal of focus and emphasis will be placed 1826 01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,800 Speaker 9: on your pedigree and your reputation and the fact that 1827 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,840 Speaker 9: you have had a profound experience in operating these industries 1828 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,639 Speaker 9: overseas and you won't be totally put through the ringer. 1829 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,680 Speaker 3: Okay, is that any different to what it was beforehand 1830 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,000 Speaker 3: with stripping away the oil and gas expiration permits, because 1831 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:38,960 Speaker 3: that's not what the last government did. That that freaked 1832 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 3: people out anyway, Well. 1833 01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:45,400 Speaker 9: The last government puts such huge, onerous obligations on the 1834 01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 9: cleanup that people that people basically gave up. The obligations 1835 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,719 Speaker 9: were so extraordinarily heavy, they were the worst in the world, 1836 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,200 Speaker 9: so no one was prepared to do it. 1837 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,960 Speaker 3: But is it possible for you guys to lay out 1838 01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,720 Speaker 3: what you expect the clean up the cleanup obligations to 1839 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 3: be without the next lot coming in and beefing them 1840 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 3: up again. 1841 01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:04,439 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1842 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:07,240 Speaker 9: I think it is because those will be contractual obligations 1843 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:15,280 Speaker 9: and contracts will be enabled to exist beyond regimes. 1844 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 3: So do you do you expect then that the big guys, 1845 01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,479 Speaker 3: having seen the bill now, that are they waiting for 1846 01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 3: the bill basically to pass into an act before they 1847 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 3: actually do something, or will they look at the bill 1848 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,240 Speaker 3: as it is right now and go okay, cool, yep, 1849 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:27,040 Speaker 3: we're all good. 1850 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:29,799 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean they're going to wait for it to pass. 1851 01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,000 Speaker 9: But look, I've had some positive feedback already. 1852 01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,400 Speaker 3: What about Todd though in their announcement today. 1853 01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 9: Look, I've got They've got a call in with me 1854 01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,400 Speaker 9: and the message from them is that there's a lot. 1855 01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,559 Speaker 8: Of misinformation in the media. But I'll talk to them 1856 01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:45,320 Speaker 8: later around the seat. 1857 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,320 Speaker 3: Oh really, what is the misinformation? 1858 01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:49,800 Speaker 8: If you ring me tomorrow, I'll be able to share 1859 01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:50,200 Speaker 8: it with you. 1860 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 3: Because they say our refocus on New Zealand, coupled with 1861 01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:59,400 Speaker 3: declining gas reserves means that Todd is adopting a simplified structure. 1862 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 3: Unfortunately Lead this will also result in a reduction of jobs. 1863 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:06,200 Speaker 3: That's them quota debatim I can't see how that could 1864 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:07,000 Speaker 3: be misconstrued. 1865 01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,360 Speaker 9: Well, at the end of the day, they already have 1866 01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 9: gas interests. They are selling gas as we speak. They 1867 01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,960 Speaker 9: recently were involved in a High court case with methadics. 1868 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:25,320 Speaker 9: They've got a hell of a lot of investment capital 1869 01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,679 Speaker 9: tied up in the gas industry. 1870 01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,040 Speaker 3: Shane, do you I mean? Seems to be that at 1871 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 3: the heart of their concerns is whether we actually have 1872 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:33,880 Speaker 3: any more gas out there? Do you think we have 1873 01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:34,880 Speaker 3: more gas out there? 1874 01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:35,519 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1875 01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,200 Speaker 9: The geologists assume me that we've got more gas out there. 1876 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,200 Speaker 9: But then you know, as well as I do anything 1877 01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 9: to do with the mineral, natural resource estate, always a 1878 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:48,439 Speaker 9: risk involved. You could argue, why don't we just import it? 1879 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 9: And that's something that the government's looking at. But forgot 1880 01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:58,400 Speaker 9: this indigenous resources and it is capable of being extracted, 1881 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:00,040 Speaker 9: why shouldn't we. 1882 01:28:00,520 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, when they say there's more gas out there, 1883 01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,479 Speaker 3: do they mean that there's more gas in the existing 1884 01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:06,680 Speaker 3: gas fields that we just need to pump pump them 1885 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,519 Speaker 3: harder or are they saying that we haven't even discovered 1886 01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 3: other gas? 1887 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,559 Speaker 9: Yeah? Yeah, I mean there were latter. Yeah, there's an 1888 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:17,000 Speaker 9: Australian crowd that were five days away from signing up 1889 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:21,360 Speaker 9: a massive deal for a virtually infinite gas field off 1890 01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 9: the coast of Wamdu and sadly, once just Cinda made 1891 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,960 Speaker 9: her decision six years ago, they walked away from the deal. 1892 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,559 Speaker 9: So there's an inordinately large gas field of the South 1893 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:36,600 Speaker 9: Island and there are additional gas resources in Tartanaky And 1894 01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 9: this is what I am told by the geologists. 1895 01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:41,839 Speaker 3: Why didn't you stop that decision when you had the power. 1896 01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:47,840 Speaker 9: Yes, that would pass as the most egregious decision I 1897 01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 9: was ever associated with, and sadly it is burned in 1898 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 9: my consciousness and the kabuki faces I made. 1899 01:28:58,120 --> 01:28:58,559 Speaker 1: At the time. 1900 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 3: And why didn't you it? 1901 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,360 Speaker 9: Oh? Well, I think we got six or seven percent 1902 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:07,960 Speaker 9: of the vote, and Jacinda at the time treated it 1903 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,519 Speaker 9: as her nuclear moment. It's in the past, and I'm 1904 01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:13,880 Speaker 9: serving a type of penance by reversing it. 1905 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 3: But why don't you tell me why you didn't stop it? 1906 01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,559 Speaker 3: Because you're dodging. You're dodging that question, aren't. 1907 01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:20,640 Speaker 9: You, mate? When you got six or seven percent of 1908 01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:21,560 Speaker 9: the vote. 1909 01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 8: Therein lies the level of your influence. 1910 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:24,160 Speaker 3: She overruled you. 1911 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:27,759 Speaker 9: Well, it's all in the past. Now she's in America 1912 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:30,680 Speaker 9: getting on with the rest of her life. As we 1913 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:35,919 Speaker 9: got closer to COVID, our party and labor through, Jacinda 1914 01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:40,879 Speaker 9: drifted apart and a massive chasm of ideological barrenness emerged 1915 01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:41,840 Speaker 9: between the two of us. 1916 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:43,080 Speaker 21: Yeah, because you. 1917 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:45,000 Speaker 3: Stopped heaps of other things. You were a handbrake on 1918 01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:46,720 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of stupid ideas. This was like one 1919 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 3: hundred percent the stupidest should have stopped this one. 1920 01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,000 Speaker 9: No, no, it was the worst energy decision in the 1921 01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:54,640 Speaker 9: history of New Zealand. Of course, I've told you before that, 1922 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:57,800 Speaker 9: Megan would she closed down the Marson Point refinery. The 1923 01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 9: worst energy minister ever since the tree? 1924 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:00,719 Speaker 8: Do you Whitey? 1925 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,840 Speaker 3: Yeah?

Now, Hey, Gavin, I there have 1963 01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:48,320 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna make you listen to this again. 1964 01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:52,839 Speaker 18: I call again from immediate ceaisfire and Gaza, the return 1965 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,920 Speaker 18: of the sassages a hostital. 1966 01:31:56,120 --> 01:32:00,560 Speaker 3: Gavin, how do you how how how does hostages become sausages? 1967 01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1968 01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:06,240 Speaker 28: And what's more, he was quick to spot it. I 1969 01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:08,679 Speaker 28: can only think that he was thinking of dinner. Maybe 1970 01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:12,720 Speaker 28: that definitely a slip of the tongue in what was 1971 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,200 Speaker 28: supposed to be one of the crucial parts of his speech. 1972 01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:19,360 Speaker 28: It's been something Labour's really been criticized for their stance 1973 01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:22,439 Speaker 28: on Gaza in Israel by some within the party. So 1974 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,960 Speaker 28: perhaps he was anticipating a potential heckler or something. But 1975 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 28: either way, yeah, a little bit of a Freudian slip there. 1976 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:29,719 Speaker 11: I think. 1977 01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:33,559 Speaker 3: It's going to define him. It's going to define him. 1978 01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:36,560 Speaker 3: It's going to define his Prime ministership for years, unfortunately, 1979 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,799 Speaker 3: I think Kevin. Other than that, I mean, look, serious 1980 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:43,640 Speaker 3: message in it, but geez, he's boring, isn't he. 1981 01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:45,760 Speaker 28: He's not one of the most I mean when you 1982 01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:48,640 Speaker 28: compare it with someone like Boris Johnson, he certainly is. 1983 01:32:49,240 --> 01:32:51,680 Speaker 28: You know, Boris Johnson used to call him a snooze 1984 01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:56,080 Speaker 28: fest was his name for him. But look, you know 1985 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:58,680 Speaker 28: he's always said, yeah, I'm not the most interesting guy. 1986 01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:00,679 Speaker 28: I'm not the most out of lively guy. But who 1987 01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:02,520 Speaker 28: do you want in charge? Do you want a politician 1988 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:04,920 Speaker 28: who's lively but might not be very good, or do 1989 01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:06,560 Speaker 28: you want somebody who's going to be good and his 1990 01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,000 Speaker 28: earnest and caring, etc. 1991 01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:08,439 Speaker 4: Etc. 1992 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:11,840 Speaker 28: And that's kind of his message. But in today's media, 1993 01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:14,479 Speaker 28: with social media and the media in the news playing 1994 01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:19,120 Speaker 28: such a part in both election and success, he's got 1995 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:22,960 Speaker 28: some hurdles to climb. And incidentally, his popularity rating in 1996 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 28: the first ninety days or so of his premiership has 1997 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,040 Speaker 28: really taken a significant hit. 1998 01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:31,120 Speaker 3: Has he done enough to satisfy both sides of the 1999 01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:32,800 Speaker 3: debate on the Gaza situation here? 2000 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:36,799 Speaker 28: No, I don't think, But because I don't think anyone 2001 01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:41,719 Speaker 28: actually could, Labor, particularly, I think many in Labor leaning 2002 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,800 Speaker 28: towards supporting Gaza much more. They think this government should 2003 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:49,920 Speaker 28: be much tougher against Israel, and they're wanting to see action, 2004 01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:53,799 Speaker 28: Whereas the only action we're now hearing is that Overnight 2005 01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:56,640 Speaker 28: has been saying that he wants some all Britons to 2006 01:33:56,680 --> 01:34:00,200 Speaker 28: get out of Lebanon. It's a clear indication that to 2007 01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:01,960 Speaker 28: the government here thinks this is going to get a 2008 01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,559 Speaker 28: lot worse before it gets better, with sending seven hundred 2009 01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:09,000 Speaker 28: troops to nearby Cyprus for the possible evacuation of British 2010 01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:12,120 Speaker 28: nationals from Lebanon. I think they're also very aware, of course, 2011 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,639 Speaker 28: about what a mess it was trying to get people 2012 01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,559 Speaker 28: out of Afghanistan and car ball and that is seared 2013 01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:19,559 Speaker 28: in the memory of so many of so saw those 2014 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:23,360 Speaker 28: awful pictures of people trying to jump on the aircraft 2015 01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:25,320 Speaker 28: as it was taking off, and I think they're just 2016 01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:26,920 Speaker 28: desperate to avoid something like that. 2017 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,599 Speaker 3: Keevin, So you have got the case of a police 2018 01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:31,680 Speaker 3: officer who pulled a siki and then actually gets a 2019 01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 3: recent which feels like I'm a wild overreaction. 2020 01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,880 Speaker 28: Well, I think potentially, but I guess you just you know, 2021 01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:42,960 Speaker 28: can't have these things happen. This is an officer from 2022 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:47,320 Speaker 28: the force in Leicestershire in the Midlands. He reported sick 2023 01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 28: while on a rest day. It was two days before 2024 01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 28: his next shift, but then having reported sick, he virtually 2025 01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,519 Speaker 28: flew out to Istanbul within a matter of a couple 2026 01:34:56,560 --> 01:35:00,400 Speaker 28: of hours. The Independent Office for Police Conduct says visions 2027 01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:03,720 Speaker 28: have been raised when he reported sick and police were 2028 01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:06,160 Speaker 28: waiting for him when he landed back at Stanstad Airport 2029 01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:10,519 Speaker 28: and arrested him. A disciplinary hearing has ruled that the 2030 01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:14,600 Speaker 28: officer raj and Khan would have been dismissed had he 2031 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:18,519 Speaker 28: still serving, because we now understand he resigned from the force, 2032 01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:21,479 Speaker 28: so it has customed his job. It is something that 2033 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:24,160 Speaker 28: I know the police are very very keen to stanp 2034 01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:27,840 Speaker 28: out on any kind of dishonesty or wrongdoing in order 2035 01:35:27,920 --> 01:35:29,680 Speaker 28: to show that they are fit for the role. But 2036 01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:33,920 Speaker 28: I don't know and overreaction some would argue that, but 2037 01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,080 Speaker 28: I think his time with the force would have been 2038 01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:38,040 Speaker 28: pretty limited had he not resigned anyway. 2039 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting, Heykevin as always really appreciated. Well, talk to 2040 01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:42,240 Speaker 3: you in a couple of days. That's Devin Gray, are 2041 01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:46,040 Speaker 3: UK correspondent. Looks like Philip Schofield is going to make 2042 01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:49,280 Speaker 3: us TV come back, basically by being on reality TV, 2043 01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 3: so you'll remember him. Obviously. He was the one who 2044 01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:56,040 Speaker 3: was fired about sixteen months ago from ITV because he'd 2045 01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:58,800 Speaker 3: been having enough. He was married to a woman and 2046 01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:01,040 Speaker 3: then he was having an affair with the youngest staffer 2047 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:04,120 Speaker 3: who wasn't a woman, and so the whole thing became 2048 01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:06,759 Speaker 3: very silacious I mean that's obviously his own private business 2049 01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,640 Speaker 3: and nobody cares and it must be awful to have 2050 01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,519 Speaker 3: to go through. But because of that, it was so 2051 01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:15,960 Speaker 3: much more interesting to everybody, and as a result, he 2052 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,720 Speaker 3: ended up losing his job. So now what's happened is 2053 01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:20,920 Speaker 3: he's been sort of you know, he's been hiding away 2054 01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,120 Speaker 3: for sixteen months, looking his wounds and stuff. Now he's 2055 01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:26,559 Speaker 3: on a Channel five special called Castaway and the show 2056 01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:28,519 Speaker 3: the premise of the show is they basically send him 2057 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,960 Speaker 3: to an island by himself for ten days and he 2058 01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:35,040 Speaker 3: films himself. There is no production crew whatsoever, nobody to 2059 01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:37,880 Speaker 3: talk to, nobody to keep him sane. He has to 2060 01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:42,679 Speaker 3: do this all by himself, total isolation, the forces of nature, 2061 01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,439 Speaker 3: and the battle within his own mind, says the presees 2062 01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:49,360 Speaker 3: of the show. Anyway brings me to observation on this, 2063 01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:52,200 Speaker 3: which is this I think is the modern day way 2064 01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,880 Speaker 3: for celebrities to make a comeback, isn't it. So if 2065 01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,960 Speaker 3: you kind of, yeah, had a fall from grace or 2066 01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,200 Speaker 3: for whatever reason, you're just not as popular as you 2067 01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,120 Speaker 3: wants were, what you do is you do a celebrity 2068 01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:04,880 Speaker 3: TV show. Don't use a little reality TV show. What 2069 01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:07,240 Speaker 3: it does is it tests whether you're still popular, shows 2070 01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:09,240 Speaker 3: you can be a bit of fun, reminds people that 2071 01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:10,760 Speaker 3: you exist, and then you hope you get a job 2072 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:12,759 Speaker 3: from it. So we'll see what happens to Phillip Schofield 2073 01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:13,800 Speaker 3: eight away from seven. 2074 01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:18,000 Speaker 1: Whether it's macrove, micro or just plain economics. 2075 01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:21,080 Speaker 2: It's all on The Business Hour with Heather Duplicy Allen 2076 01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:25,680 Speaker 2: and my Hr, the HR platform for SME US talksp. 2077 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,680 Speaker 3: It's five away from seven. Very good news. Actually, before 2078 01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:32,519 Speaker 3: we end the program, a couple of Kiwi restaurants have 2079 01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:35,559 Speaker 3: made Trip Advisors list of the best restaurants for twenty 2080 01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:37,960 Speaker 3: twenty four. They've got a whole bunch of different categories. 2081 01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,400 Speaker 3: It's not just one list. They've got all these categories, 2082 01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:42,639 Speaker 3: eight of them, like date night, fine dining, casual dining, 2083 01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:47,040 Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah whatever. In fine dining, the Grove 2084 01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,040 Speaker 3: Restaurant in Auckland has been named the ninth best for 2085 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:54,440 Speaker 3: its superb degas station menu, amazing food presentation, delicious mocktails 2086 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:57,880 Speaker 3: and excellent wine pairings. Not a surprise because the Grove 2087 01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:01,920 Speaker 3: is regularly regularly coming in and doing and coming in 2088 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,320 Speaker 3: or on these lists and doing really well. And then 2089 01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,120 Speaker 3: one I've never heard of before. Actually, Nest Kitchen and 2090 01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:10,120 Speaker 3: Bar in Queenstown was voted in the best Date Night 2091 01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 3: Restaurant category. It was voted fourteenth and apparently because the 2092 01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,280 Speaker 3: restaurant is breathtaking in the place to be for a 2093 01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:19,639 Speaker 3: refined dining experience. And they've also rated the top ten 2094 01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:22,439 Speaker 3: restaurants in fine dining and casual dining in New Zealand. 2095 01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:24,719 Speaker 3: The top ten restaurants in fine dining are The Grove 2096 01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:28,639 Speaker 3: in Auckland, Sales in Auckland, Guvoy Steakhouse in Queenstown, Logan 2097 01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:31,479 Speaker 3: Brown and Wellington, Craggy Range and have Lock North are 2098 01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:35,200 Speaker 3: Rata in Queenstown, Ahi in Auckland, Sedart in Auckland, Paris 2099 01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:38,599 Speaker 3: Butter in Auckland and Mudbrick Vineyard and Restaurant in Wahiki Island, 2100 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,040 Speaker 3: which says to me that if you don't live in 2101 01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:44,680 Speaker 3: Auckland or Queenstown, you kind of saw and have Lock 2102 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:47,960 Speaker 3: North and still little appearance from have Lock North and 2103 01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:50,240 Speaker 3: Wellington in there.

And this song here, Blinding Lights is actually 2121 01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:46,240 Speaker 29: the most stream song on Spotify, which I find staggering. 2122 01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:48,720 Speaker 29: Actually four point five billion streams.
