But 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: the magic's in the commentary, and the commentary ain't great. 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 2: Stephen Joyce in the Reserve Bank, both in the smalling 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 2: Russian Ravendra he warms up ahead of today's first ball. 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 2: Casey Costello and her big push to have everyone quit 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 2: smoking by next year.

He does the British 13 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: thing for us as well. Hosky. Welcome to Thursday, coming 14 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: up at minutes past six. Do read the piece in 15 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: the Herald this week that details the potential for a 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: four year term. I started alluding to this yesterday. It's 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 2: worth reading because it's not as much about a four 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: year term as it is about the two ideas that 19 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: may well get enacted this term as part of the 20 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: Coalition agreement. The more complex one is idea X idea 21 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: to flip the script on select committees and essentially drivers 22 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: towards a more active process in which the whip has 23 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: not used the way it is now i e. Everyone 24 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: in a party has to vote the same way. The 25 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: detail is fascinating of not a little complex, and my 26 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: guess is it won't see the light of day. Also 27 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: in there is the New Zealand first idea of a 28 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: vote on a four year term. Am I guess on 29 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 2: that is it won't see the light of day either. 30 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: Now the piece in the Herald ends with the last 31 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: survey on the matter. Sixty one percent of us thought 32 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: a four year term was good. But that was back 33 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. And what had we done in twenty 34 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: twenty people, well, labor fifty percent in the election. That's right, 35 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: we all went mental. Which is not to say that 36 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: a four year term isn't a half decent idea, but 37 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: the possibility comes at the worst time, off the back 38 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 2: of one of the worst governments in living memory. Labour 39 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty through twenty twenty three destroyed a lot of things. 40 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: One of them I suspect is the idea that we 41 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: want more useless people doing more useless things for longer. 42 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 2: There is logic on the flip side, I mean the 43 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: early key years, for example, the Rockstar economy years. Put 44 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: a vote in then might well have got across the line. 45 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: But like a lot of these big changes, the simple 46 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: truth is there is no right and there is no wrong. 47 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: A good government deserves longer, a poor one doesn't. But 48 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: part of the idea of having a more flexible mechanism 49 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 2: whereby you aren't frog marched into your voter as an MP, 50 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: that's not a bad one. Not everyone or not everything 51 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: your party does is right. You don't believe it at all, 52 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: lock stock and barrel. What's wrong with a bit of 53 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: NW once? What's wrong with giving the other guys a 54 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: bit more influenced to test the mettal of the government. 55 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: It may well lead to a slowing down of the business, 56 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 2: I guess, but sometimes that's not all bad. But as 57 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: for a binding vote on a four year term, answer 58 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: me this, what if the turnout was low and the 59 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: result was close given its binding right, sixty percent of 60 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: people turn out and it's passed by fifty point zero 61 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: one percent of the population, so barely thirty percent of 62 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: the country change the place dramatically. Is that democracy? Or 63 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: is that a mistake? 64 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: Who news of the world in ninety seconds. 65 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: But the war, well one of the wars. That cease 66 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: fire between Israel and Lebanon's underway, but will it hold. 67 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: We will adhere to the agreement, but we will also enforcement. 68 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: The key is enforcement. 69 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: That's where these agreements have fallen in the past. 70 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: Enforcement. 71 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: We will respond forcefully to any violation. 72 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 2: Israelis a mixed an. 73 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 4: I'm against this agreement. 74 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: Give us another month. 75 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 5: We will emerge victorious. 76 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 6: I think it's good if the ceasefire later brings a 77 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 6: return of hostages. 78 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 7: This is only temporary, that's all. It will repeat itself. 79 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 2: Lebanese Prime Minister, perhaps slightly over optimistic. 80 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 8: Today begins the thousand mile Roads to reconstruct what was 81 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 8: destroyed and to continue to strengthen the role of the 82 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 8: legitimate institutions, led by the military, who we place great 83 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 8: hopes in to enforce authority over the country. 84 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: Even though this was led by the Americans. Of course, 85 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Sakiya needed a word. 86 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 7: The ceasefire announced in Lebanon is long overdue, but it 87 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 7: demonstrates that diplomacy can succeed even in the most challenging 88 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 7: of circumstances. 89 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: Actually, while we're in the Commons, that looks like the 90 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: new government might fold a bit on the EV push 91 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: out and listen and BMW and Lotus and just about 92 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: every other manufacturer told them no one wants evs. 93 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 9: We're looking at the finds that we would inherit from 94 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 9: the previous government that would be applied to businesses, including 95 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 9: car manufacturers here in Britain for not selling a high 96 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 9: enough proportion of electorate vehicles who want to get that 97 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 9: balance right. 98 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: And then stateside kiss who we found you. 99 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 10: Have the same power that you did before November fifth, 100 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 10: and you have the same purpose that you did, and 101 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 10: you have the same ability to engage and inspire. 102 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 2: Finally, I'm super glad I didn't pull the treaser on 103 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: one of those Trump guitars. We got trouble. Gibson have 104 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: issue to see some desist order to the company behind 105 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: the guitars, company called sixteen created. They say it infringes 106 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 2: on the exclusive Gibson trademarks, particularly the famed leaves for 107 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: body shape. Now, you don't mess with these people when 108 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: they lawyer up dispute against Dean Guitars that started outside 109 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: Caught back in the fifties and whose first trial used 110 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: evidence from other three decades that's now heading for retrial 111 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: all these years later. By the way, the American Eagle 112 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: Electrics sold out. The American Egle Acoustic can get for 113 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: twelve hundred and fifty Or if you want to sign one, 114 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: Trump signs at two hundred and fifty US, which is 115 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: seventeen thousand, three hundred dollars on this morning's exchange, right 116 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: with the US dollar. And here's the world in nineteen 117 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: speaking of the US dollar, the PCE inflation. I'll get 118 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: Greg to work you through. That could be bad, It 119 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: could be good, could be bad. Australia two point one. 120 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: Their inflation number was out, although the non tradable at 121 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: three point five. They seemed to think they've got it 122 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: under control. Thirteen past six. 123 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 124 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 125 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: I'd be trying to find something in China that looks good. 126 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: But yesterday's industrial profits weren't It down ten percent on 127 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: October twenty seven percent in September. Steep has decrease since 128 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: March of twenty two. So they've still got problems, and 129 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: they've got problems. We got problems. Fifteen past six. The 130 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: problems not very kind, specifically morning, how are you great? 131 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: Thanks mate, but fifty points not seventy five. And I 132 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 2: thought it was interesting when all Seidi really didn't even 133 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 2: consider seventy five or indeed twenty five. 134 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, it was interesting, particularly given listening to the commentary 135 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 11: looking at the forecast and you talk about problems, you know, 136 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 11: we've got them in spades, sort of acknowledged that. So 137 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 11: that was all pretty pretty interesting. Yeah, has highlighted the 138 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 11: economic challenges we're facing. Obviously, we went with the fifty bits, 139 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 11: which was which was favored, but you know, the track 140 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 11: for the OCR is lower, so they see that getting 141 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 11: to three point five to five percent by twenty twenty five. 142 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 11: In addition, I think what market's also like was it 143 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 11: looks like we're going to get another fifty at the 144 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 11: feed me meeting. So this highlights of challenges. I mean, 145 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 11: the unemployment rate that was revised down to five point 146 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 11: two percent from five point four in terms of the peak, 147 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 11: but you look at GDP FORCUS, so they've actually been lowered. 148 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 11: So December quarter was revised up slightly two point three percent, 149 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 11: but you know, let's look at the long term out 150 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 11: to December twenty twenty five. We're looking at two point 151 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 11: three percent now. Their previous forecasts in August was three 152 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 11: point three percent, so things have got a lot work 153 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 11: so you do have to wonder. And then we look 154 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 11: at the inflation side. Yeah, they're comfortable it's going to 155 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 11: be around about two percent. They see tradables or the 156 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 11: offshore driven inflation is increasing. I'm just not sure about that. 157 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 11: I mean, even agent Or acknowledged themselves that yes, we've 158 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 11: got Terriff's pension on the way from Trump, but it 159 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 11: actually could divert a whole bunch of cheaper Chinese goods 160 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 11: to New Zealand actually might be deflationary. So I thought 161 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 11: that was quite interesting. And oil's a bit of a 162 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 11: wild conom and that could go up as easy as 163 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 11: it goes down. 164 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 12: So they see. 165 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 11: Domestically driven inflation going up. Not so sure about that 166 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 11: as well. The pressures we're facing pretty much everywhere apart 167 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 11: from the dairy industry, so we have to see on 168 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 11: that and there's just a lot of uncertainty. So I 169 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 11: think that was acknowledged by a journal and how the 170 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 11: economy is going to respond to rate cuts. They gave 171 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 11: a really wide range for the neutual ocr of two 172 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 11: point five to two three point five percent, So you 173 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 11: take the midpoint of three percent, that's neither stimulating or 174 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 11: constricting the economy. So it still means we're in line 175 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 11: for another one hundred and twenty five basis points of 176 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 11: rate cuts. So Mark, it's like that Borrows also like 177 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 11: the fact that most banks have passed on the rate 178 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 11: cut fully. But really interesting as well the press conference 179 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 11: might that he made multiple mentions of the fact they 180 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 11: don't go on complete holiday till in the February. So yeah, 181 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 11: I thought that was very talent. 182 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: So he's got to take He said, we've got a 183 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: telephone and we can we can hustle anytime we like, 184 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: and we hustled during COVID. Now the PC did we 185 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: freak out over that or not? 186 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 11: Yeah, so not too much, I mean, but basically the 187 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 11: Fed minutes sort of said that that, you know, unlike us, 188 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 11: they're going to sort of step back on the pace 189 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 11: of rakecats. Obviously they did fifty, then they did twenty five, 190 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 11: and then going to take a bit more gradual approach. 191 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 11: So they acknowledged that inflation is above their two percent goal, 192 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 11: and it was confirmed by these inflation numbers overnight. So 193 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 11: the percal consumption expenses and exit was that point two 194 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 11: percent in October two point three sent on anualized basis. 195 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 11: That was in line with expectation, as was the core measure, 196 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 11: which they also look at and said it was two 197 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 11: point eight percent. So you've got to think they're probably 198 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 11: gonna step back a little bit, and they may even 199 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 11: pause in December, where the markets are saying it's the 200 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 11: sixty percent probability of another cut. But yeah, we've got problems. 201 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 11: Their economy is going much better, which is why you 202 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 11: don't really want to compare what the FEDS doing with 203 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 11: what the abbe en Z should or should not be doing. 204 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 11: So the GDP and the September quarter grew two point 205 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 11: eight percent. It was in line of estimates consuming the 206 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 11: US might do really well growth their three and a 207 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 11: half percent. That's actually the biggest rise this year. And 208 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 11: I'm probably in bolding of it by a labor market. 209 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 11: So separate figure showed initial job as claims they fell 210 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 11: last week. They're at historically low levels, so you had 211 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 11: a FED could well pause. Interesting from the minutes, they 212 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 11: didn't really make much mention about the election. It was 213 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 11: only two days before the meeting they did say that 214 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 11: conditions were evolving, so they might be a bit of 215 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 11: an understatement. Well, I'm sure they'll be watching how Trump's 216 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 11: protectionist policies play out. With had a lot of estimates 217 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 11: on what taruffs could mean for use inflation, some as 218 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 11: saying it's that could as much as one percent, So yeah, 219 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 11: is certainly very relevant. 220 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: Okay, what are the numbers? 221 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 11: So you were little are at the close on the 222 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 11: US the dowse down point one percent forty four eight 223 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 11: one one, s and P five hundred down point five percent, 224 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 11: five nine nine four, Nare's deck down one point two percent. 225 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 11: They had pretty disappointing numbers from HP and also Dell 226 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 11: Footzy up point two percent, the UK eight two seven 227 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 11: four Nick down point eight percent, ozzie A six two 228 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 11: hundred up point six percent to say.

So that's encouraging. Not 259 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: so encouraging as Aston Martin, who yet again have told 260 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: the world that they're not going to make as much 261 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: money as they thought they would.

And I can tell you 267 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: the Aston Martin Valiant is a shed load better looking 268 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: than the Chrysler Valiant. But nevertheless, they've had trouble making 269 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: some of those. There's not many of them around. They 270 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 2: cost a fortune. They're only again a little the behalf 271 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: of them. But you know, the story of Aston Martin's 272 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: a fascinating one and it's worth reading.

We've covered pretty much all 340 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 6: of it. Phase two will do a little bit of 341 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 6: different stuff, which is a declear around vaccine harm. So 342 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 6: for example, people having an adverse eventd to vaccines. They'll 343 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 6: look more closely at that where that was outside of 344 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 6: our terms of reference. 345 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: So is that necessary or not? 346 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: Is what necessary? 347 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: Mote Part two? 348 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 6: Well, that's not my decision, mate, now I know that. 349 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: But if you're telling me that what you've done is 350 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: the big picture and this is all we need to know, 351 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 2: why are we doing Part two? Do you think? 352 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 6: Well, that's the government's decision. But what I would say, Mike, 353 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 6: is that Grant Ellinglith who's the incoming chair, has been 354 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 6: really really good in the handover heaps of integrity, and 355 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 6: I reckon it's a bit like the eighty twenty rule. 356 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 6: We had a really big job to do and we've 357 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 6: probably got eighty percent of everything done on the terms 358 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 6: of reference, and there's an extra twenty percent. Sometimes at 359 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 6: twenty percent is important. They may find some stuff we 360 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 6: haven't found on things like mandates which I'll be looking 361 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 6: at and more depth and lockdowns that they'll be looking 362 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 6: at and more. But also they'll be looking at the 363 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 6: vaccine harm and safety, which for many citizens of our 364 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 6: pera own New Zealand is a particularly important issue. And 365 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 6: that's good that they're. 366 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: Doing the mandates and the comments you've made about the mandates. 367 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: Is that a change of mind on your part or not. 368 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 6: Ah, it's an evolution. I think we've all learnt a lot. 369 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 6: What I will say at this point is that you know, 370 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 6: mandates are sort of a top shelf thing. You should 371 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 6: only really be using them when you absolutely have to. 372 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 6: And we've got a lot to say about that report. 373 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 6: If I can reflect overseas previous Premier Purity New South 374 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 6: Wales Conservative government and a valedictory speech who said as 375 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 6: one major regrupt was the over use of mandates and compulsion. 376 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 6: And I think for a lot of us around the 377 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 6: world are learning that those mandates might have gone a 378 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 6: bit too far for a bit too long, and it's 379 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 6: a very delicate balance and a future pandemic, which is 380 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 6: what we're really focused on now. You can't rule out 381 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 6: the need for doing mandatory measures because the virus might 382 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 6: be two four times as fatal and two or four 383 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 6: times infectious and you just need to do everything. However, 384 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 6: if we had something like COVID again, I think all 385 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 6: of us are saying that if we prepare pet to 386 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 6: have better contact tracing them would be less of the 387 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 6: mandatory measures like lockdowns and texting man. 388 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: I reckon hand on the Blakeley's i EU, the Bloomfields, 389 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: the Bakers, et cetera. Would have had the Gonads to 390 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: stand up to a zealots like a Dern who was 391 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 2: determined to lock us down. 392 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 6: I think you're probably going to bit fire there, Mike. 393 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 6: Let me rethink about that. So I think that people, 394 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 6: both the all of the policy people, the Bloomfields, the academics, 395 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 6: the Bakers, and the government viadorens, if you like, everybody 396 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 6: was doing the best that they possibly could and making 397 00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 6: decisions and incredibly complicated and fast moving circumstances going forward. 398 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 6: And again the UK Enquiry has made this quite clear, 399 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 6: and we speak to as well. It's really really really 400 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 6: important to make sure that you have a diversity of 401 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 6: advice coming in and that you're very agile and you 402 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 6: don't get stuck in your ways. So a key there's 403 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 6: two key s words here, scenarios and strategy. So scenarios 404 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 6: we need to be thinking about what type of scenarios 405 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 6: next pandemic is and investing in preparation for that. And 406 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 6: then when the next pandemic coves be constantly thinking about 407 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 6: where the thing going to go, what mightn't you take 408 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 6: to is a society on board with us and be 409 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 6: able to agile adapt. Which comes to the strategy part 410 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 6: is that I think a lot of countries learned that 411 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 6: you need to really protect that strategy function. So you've 412 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 6: got a group that's always looking forward and planning for 413 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 6: the next possible steps. 414 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: Good stuff, Tony, good to talk to. You appreciate it 415 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 2: very much. Tony Blakely, outgoing COVID inquiry chair. He will 416 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 2: hand it over at two pm this afternoon. My reference 417 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: earlier to Brooklyn filt and she has said this doesn't 418 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: get made public now, it will be public at some 419 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 2: point after Phase two was underway, which strikes me as Machavelian, 420 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: which is highly unlikely, highly unusual for the act Party, 421 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 2: I would have thought, But that's a question for another day. 422 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 2: Eighteen to two ask related matters. There's a localed angles 423 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: Del Gleish who's in Australia. He's a professor of boncology. 424 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 2: He's just visiting Australia as a professor of boncology at 425 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 2: London since Georgie's University. He's also in the European Commission 426 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 2: Cancer Board. He says Australia's COVID response, which was sort 427 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: of ours, not as hard, but sort of ours, was 428 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 2: appalling madness, disgraceful. US Australia and Canada all overreacted exactly 429 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: the same way. The only people that got it right 430 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 2: long term was Sweden. They didn't have any lockdown mandates, 431 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 2: they had no other mandates. The vaccines were for people 432 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: over seventy. They have the lowest excess death rate in 433 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 2: the Western world. Voluntary social distancing, mask wearing, working from home, 434 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: and avoiding public transport. Eighty percent of the country basically complied. 435 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: In other words, you trusted the people. He said that 436 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: was the way to go. And the more water that 437 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: goes under the COVID bridge, I think, the more right 438 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 2: he looks. Seventeen to two. 439 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 440 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: by News Talks EPI. 441 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: Back to the Economy Morning, Mike.

We serves 445 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 2: the more high end of the furniture homeword division, even 446 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: the affluent are not spending. They have become used to 447 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 2: being tight. That's an interesting insight. Nothing will change until 448 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 2: real estate starts pumping again, Jeremy, I appreciate the insight. 449 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: Step en joy shortly fourteen. 450 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 13: Two international correspondence with ends and eye insurance.

Three first of March is when 460 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 16: we're looking at a verdict for Mariine Lapin and her 461 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 16: twenty four defendants. That was the last day of the 462 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 16: trial to Wednesday here in Paris. There's three judges, of 463 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 16: course on the panel. They've got just a watch of 464 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 16: documents to go through. What the prosecution asked for, of course, 465 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 16: was the maximum. Have found guilty, Marie Lapenn could face 466 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 16: five year prison term, three suspended, plus a five year 467 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 16: ban on holding public offers, which would be imposed immediately. 468 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 16: Of course, in a three hour long speech to the 469 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 16: court today, her defense lawyer said, well, she shouldn't be 470 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 16: found guilty. 471 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: She was just doing the job. 472 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 16: She was just helping the parliament to go and said 473 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 16: that in particular, that five year ban, he said, didn't 474 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 16: seem to be right, because if you're enforcing it immediately, 475 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 16: then that doesn't give her time to appeal. Now, of course, 476 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 16: detractors of Marie La Penn said, well, you know, time 477 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 16: to appeal that can take years in France. That would 478 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 16: give her a chance to run, and that twenty twenty 479 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 16: seven French presidential elections. So we're all now waiting till 480 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 16: the end of March bike to find out if it's 481 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 16: all turned bad for Marine Lapan, who spent the last 482 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 16: ten years attempting to rebrand her party and appear to 483 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 16: everyone as though she's a respectable political opponent. 484 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 2: It's very trumpy, and isn't it what happens if she 485 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 2: gets found guilty, runs and wins. Does she get exonerated 486 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 2: like Trumplets. 487 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 10: No, here's the thing. 488 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 16: If she is, well, let's assume there's not going to 489 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 16: be a presidential election before next March. 490 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: Mike. 491 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 16: She if that once that is handed done, if that's 492 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 16: handed done, that five year ban and that starts immediately, 493 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 16: she cannot be an MP. She can't do anything, and 494 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 16: that would have to wait until the appeal process is 495 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 16: done and dusted, and that would be years. 496 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: I like Alan Months, I like Francois Alone, who said 497 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: he was there of course, when Trump was there the 498 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: first time. He says, Elon Musk is the president. Trump 499 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 2: just doesn't know it yet. And what the EU should 500 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: do is stick it right up the Americans. They're going 501 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: to come at you with terriss hair. How anxity are 502 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 2: we about all of this? 503 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 4: Oh? 504 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: Completely? 505 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 16: And the other thing you've got to remember about France 506 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 16: or Land is that, yes, he might have been a 507 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 16: bit of a failure as a French president, but when 508 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 16: it came to understanding people like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, 509 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 16: he got it bang on. As well as being president 510 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 16: of France during part of that first Trump presidency, he 511 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 16: was also president when Vladimir Putin sent Russian tanks in 512 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 16: to occupy Crimea in twenty fourteen, so he kind of 513 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 16: knows what he's talking about. He has come out in 514 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 16: the speech in London and said that in fact, Iron 515 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 16: Musk is far more powerful and far more influential in 516 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 16: Donald Trump's inner circle. 517 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 2: Than we're made to believe. 518 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 16: He thinks that he could be vice president, but in 519 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 16: fact he may well be as powerful as president of 520 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 16: the US. He also went on to say something which 521 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 16: we've talked about this before, Mike, everyone else knows it 522 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 16: is that Donald Trump doesn't believe that the European Union 523 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 16: is a part that as a political partner, as a 524 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 16: trading partner, or is it any other type of partner, 525 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 16: And that really what the EU has got to get 526 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 16: it back together to do is to be ready with 527 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 16: those sanctions as soon as it looks as though anything's 528 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 16: going to affect European businesses doing trade with America. 529 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: How I read, there's a massive steel producer, and I 530 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 2: mean we all know about Germany. The governor's former partner's 531 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: a mass of steel producer from Germany. It's going to 532 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 2: lay off the next few years, eleven thousand people. Europe 533 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: seems really troubled at the moment, fiscally, economically, politically, morally social. 534 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: Europe seems a mess. Is it unfair or not? 535 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 16: I think at this time, it's probably fair to say that, Mike. Yeah, 536 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 16: it is a mess. We've had not just the Russian 537 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 16: bear invading Ukraine. You've also got Russia imposing various things, 538 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 16: such as last weekend first round of the Romanian elections, 539 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 16: a complete outsider who's favorable to Moscow came through first 540 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 16: in the elect We've also got that political uncertainty in Germany. 541 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 16: You've also got countries in the Baltics bit worried. You've 542 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 16: got now the backlash, the economic backlash of all the 543 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 16: money that was given out during COVID that's now coming 544 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 16: home to roost. That You've got so many European countries, 545 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 16: and you know, France and Germany are among the biggest 546 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 16: coprits on the spike. They've got huge debts that back 547 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 16: date to that time when both and Gillimerckle and macarn 548 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 16: here in France said we will spend what it takes. Well, 549 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 16: the bills are in now, Mike, and we're having a 550 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 16: look at bond yields there well. Down people really are 551 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 16: talking about the possibility that if things go pair shaped 552 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 16: in France in the next couple of months, then France 553 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 16: could be looking at a Greek style economic crisis. 554 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 2: Good, so Catherine go. Well, we'll catch up next with 555 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 2: Catherine Field in France. Where's this morning? Man Away from. 556 00:26:54,600 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: Seven, they with the range rover, the last news. 557 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: Mike, thank goodness for Phase two. Why do you say that? 558 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: You say that because you want some sort of retribution, 559 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: don't you You want somebody in phase two to go 560 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: It was their fault. They're no good, they were useless. 561 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: They should be hung, drawn and quarted. And of course 562 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 2: none of that's going to happen. A bunch of reasonably 563 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 2: obvious points are going to be made in Phase two 564 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: of the COVID inquiry. But then Phase two of the 565 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: COVID inquiry will join Phase one of the COVID Inquiry, 566 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 2: probably behind a door somewhere, never to be seen again, 567 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 2: gathering dust. And as I've said all along, any response 568 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 2: to a pandemic will be entirely reliant on who the 569 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: people running the country are that day. If they're useless, 570 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: you will get a useless response. If they're half decent, 571 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 2: you will get a half decent response. Inquiries will mean 572 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 2: ultimately nothing. Five Away from seven. 573 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: All the ins and the ouse, it's the fizz with 574 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: business Fiber, take your business productivity to the next level. 575 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 2: So terriffs, as we were referring to Trump, etc. Mexico 576 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 2: and Canada not just a europe worried. So twenty five 577 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 2: percent of mix, another ten percent on China. China as 578 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: you get a bunch depending on who you're dealing with, 579 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: what industry you're dealing with there, or you get a 580 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 2: bunch of towers. Anyway, the car industry, they're worried about 581 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: this Mexico. You see lower cost production. A lot of 582 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 2: them are in Mexico. They've been there since the nineties. 583 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 2: The industry itself responsible for twenty six percent of imports 584 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 2: from Mexico. Almost every major carmaker's got a factory there, 585 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: and they're responsible for twelve percent of imports from Canada. 586 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 2: So shares of GM they're down nine percent, market closed lost. 587 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 2: De Lansa shares were down five point seven percent. Ford 588 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 2: they don't have quite the exposure of Mexico and Canada 589 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 2: as the others do. They still produce vehicles and both 590 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: though their share prices down two and a half percent 591 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: to weote one hundred and others they're all down three 592 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: percent or less. Beer Constellation brands, Corona, all that stuff, 593 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: that accounts be a beer accounts for eighty six percent 594 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: of their sales, their share prices down three and a 595 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: half percent. They've also been straight up with the customers 596 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: saying if the tariff isn't posed on Mexico, they won't 597 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 2: be moving production, they will just be charging customers more. 598 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: And that is where the economists prior to the election, 599 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 2: not that anyone was listening to them, all said that 600 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: Trump is more inflationary than Harris and Biden because the 601 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 2: moment you put tariffs on. And this is the part 602 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 2: that the Trump trumper hollocks don't get is if you 603 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: put the tariffs on, you might protect a local industry, 604 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: but all you do is put the price of stuff up. 605 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 2: And when you put the price of stuff up, people 606 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: spend more of their money on the prices that are 607 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: more expensive than that is inflationary. And at the top 608 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: end of the market, for someone like New Zealand, you 609 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: get a top level bottle of pininir from Central Otago 610 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 2: and it might be sixty five dollars instead of fifty 611 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: five dollars. But you know, people have got the money. 612 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 2: They'll pay it, but nevertheless, and they'll enjoy it, but nevertheless, 613 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 2: it remains inflationary. Speaking of which bring it back home 614 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 2: are but yesterday Steven Joyce's next. 615 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: You're Trusted Home the News for Entertainment of Opinion and Mike 616 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: the My Hosking Breakfast with a Veta Retirement, Communities, Life 617 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: Your Way News togsad. 618 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: Be seven past seven, so fifty points. It was another 619 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: fifty likely in February. The forecast for growth of a cut, 620 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 2: more jobs still to be lost and that's the final 621 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: word from the Reserve Bank for the year. Form of 622 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: Finance Minister Stephen Joyce with us very good morning morning. 623 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 2: Those growth trimmed forecasts some some's not right here. There's 624 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 2: a lot of cuts, and we're supposed to be fizzing. 625 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: We're not fizzing. 626 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 4: What's happening takes time, unfortunately. You are seeing some green 627 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 4: shoots of growth from what I can see in areas 628 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 4: like commercial property, not residential. You're seeing things. And obviously 629 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 4: the dairy industry is starting to go quee. Fruit's been solid. 630 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 4: Tech sector is pretty solid, but big, big employing industries 631 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 4: like services and retail have been flat as a pancake. 632 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 4: And of course residential property construction and so on, and 633 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 4: that's just going to take time. Unfortunately, you know, we're 634 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 4: dealing with a lot of hangover from our period that 635 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 4: goes right back to the beginnings of over pandemic. And 636 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 4: and frankly, I would say a heavy footed governor who 637 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 4: went really hard early, then went really hard up and 638 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,719 Speaker 4: is now coming out of the way and it's just 639 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 4: for a lot of balance sheets that's just been too 640 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 4: bloody hat. 641 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 2: He admitted that to a degree yesterday, not as much 642 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: as he should have, but he got there. He got 643 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: there in the end. As finance minister, if you were 644 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: finance minister, would have you wanted to have seen seventy five? 645 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 2: And do you listen to him with confidence? 646 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 4: Well, if I was finance minister, of course I'd listened 647 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 4: to him confidence. Who's a Reserve bank governor. But I'm 648 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 4: not the finance minister's I can listen with a certain 649 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 4: amount of skeptism. The look, I truly don't think yesterday 650 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 4: is is sort of much either way. It's point five now. 651 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 4: Point five in February could have been point seventy five. 652 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 4: But in some ways that might have spooked more people 653 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 4: that have actually helped because they would have gone, oh, 654 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 4: you know, it's even worse than we thought. And the 655 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 4: real problem we've got right now is a whole lot 656 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 4: of people aren't spending because they're still not confident that 657 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 4: the pathway ahead for their businesses is solid enough. It's 658 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 4: the part of its confidence right now. If he really 659 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 4: wanted to know, to sort of break them ald a 660 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 4: little bit, then I would argue they should come should 661 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 4: have come back three weeks earlier at the end of 662 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 4: January and done something different there, just to show that 663 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 4: they were on the case. But I think that it's 664 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 4: probably not much of a muchness in the overall scheme 665 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 4: of things. It's going to come right to some degree 666 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 4: next year. 667 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 15: But. 668 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 2: Not not as right as they thought it was. And see, 669 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: here's my consumer with the politics of it all. So 670 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 2: they Luxing and Co. Put out a press release two 671 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 2: and a half seconds after Adrian speaks, and it's almost 672 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 2: like they are now in cahoots, like they're desperately looking 673 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: for Adrian to be right for political purposes so they 674 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 2: can then go and sell this message to the public. 675 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 2: And it's just it isn't there. 676 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 4: Well, we all want Adrian to be right in the 677 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 4: sense of helping get the economy game, but I think 678 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 4: probably for the government. It's it's a case of having 679 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 4: to show even more urgency in some of the things 680 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 4: that I've been working on, you know, things like the 681 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 4: electricity market, which has a sting in the tail potentially 682 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 4: next year early next year, the banking sector where probably 683 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 4: the Reserve Bank has got off pretty lightly so far 684 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 4: in that context, and the government has to form some 685 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 4: strong views but also attracting international investment. Quite a lot 686 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 4: of talk so far, not to have a lot of action. 687 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 4: Those things are the sort of things that need to 688 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 4: move quickly to sort of give more confidence, because it's 689 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 4: confidence we're looking for in the economy now. And as 690 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 4: I say, there's some green shoots appearing now, I don't 691 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 4: want to be too doom and gloom because there are 692 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 4: you talk to some sectors things are starting to move finally, 693 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 4: but there's plenty of sectors yet, and some of them 694 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 4: have had structural changes that are not going to go back. 695 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 4: So retail has had a structural change with all these 696 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 4: international websites and so, and it's going to make life 697 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 4: more difficult. But I think the government's got to show 698 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 4: probably going to take five minutes off over Christmas and 699 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 4: then show renewed urgency in the first half of next year, 700 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 4: and frankly, the governor should be reflecting on just how 701 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 4: hardy pushed interest rates up, because these things have a 702 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 4: lag and he just went so hard for so long 703 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 4: in the same way he went down so hard for 704 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 4: so long that actually, you know, a lot of people's 705 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 4: balance sheets are really really weak, and unfortunately that means 706 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 4: the recovery is slower and longer because they don't have 707 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 4: the capacity to. 708 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 2: Invest very well. So it is almost Stephen Joyce, former 709 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 2: Finance Minister, with us it's eleven minutes past seven. We 710 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 2: hear a lot of that sentiment in business, and that 711 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 2: is that this government needs to get some gonads and 712 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: a spine and harden up and make some bigger decisions 713 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 2: than they currently are. Speaking of which we've got action. 714 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 2: We've got an action plan of sorts. Given next year 715 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: is supposed to be the year we arrived as a 716 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: smoke free country. So here's what we got yesterday. Get 717 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 2: smokers to try and quit, give it another try if 718 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 2: it's previously failed. Improve access to quit smoking providers, provide 719 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 2: effective services and products. Stop people from smoking in the 720 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 2: first place. Anyway, that's all the work of Associate Health 721 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 2: Minister Casey Costello, who's will us good. 722 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 15: Morning, Good morning mine. 723 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 2: A very general sense, is there too much reliance in 724 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 2: this whole smoke free thing? Is there too much reliance 725 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 2: on the government wiping our bum and solving all our 726 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: problems or not? Do you think? 727 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 15: I think that's what we've tried to do is step 728 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 15: it back to some practical application to those who want 729 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 15: to quit, and informing people of the services that are 730 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 15: available and leading people rather than the prohibitionist approach that 731 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 15: we had before. 732 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 2: Because you're getting killed by the wonks who say you're 733 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 2: not doing enough. How much more can you do if 734 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 2: a person wants to smoke? What literally, short of tying 735 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 2: them up and locking them in a room, can you do? 736 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 13: Well? 737 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 15: I think that's the perspective, is that smoke free target 738 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 15: was always just to get below five percent, recognizing that 739 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 15: there will always be those that are long term addictive 740 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 15: smokers that have made their choices and want to but 741 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 15: about presenting support that those that we think need to 742 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 15: know there's some opportunity to help if they need it, 743 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 15: and connecting them with those services. 744 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 2: And so you would argue, as we sit here this morning, 745 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 2: if you are a person who wants to look at 746 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: giving up smoking, there is plenty there to help you 747 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 2: along the way. And you've done what you can absolutely. 748 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 15: And that was where I focused on and I've said 749 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 15: all the way along as the frontline workers that are 750 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 15: delivering quip smoking services, knew what was working, knew what 751 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 15: needed to be done. And there's a lot of people 752 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 15: who've tried to quit and just failed and kind of 753 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 15: given up like they want to, but that's got them 754 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 15: in their grips. So what we're saying is like there 755 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 15: is you know, we're going to look at ecommerceon and 756 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 15: vafing stater kits and things like that. They will give 757 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 15: them that one more chance to just given another crack, 758 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 15: and there's real benefits to it. 759 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 4: If you do it. 760 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 2: What you did walk away from was what the British 761 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 2: are doing right now and that is the age limit thing. 762 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 2: In other words, you will not be able to at 763 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 2: a certain birth date. Over time, they will solve that problem. 764 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 2: Do you regret walking away from that? Could that long 765 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 2: term have been something more effective than what you've actually done? 766 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 15: And that was what lost in this conversation. You know, 767 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 15: the Late Health Survey which was measuring up to thirty 768 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 15: Jane fifteen to seventeen year olds less than one percent smoking, 769 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 15: under twenty four year olds four point two percent smoking. 770 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 15: So we already have, through what we've been doing, a 771 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 15: generation that isn't smoking, and we knew that the whole 772 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 15: that's true. 773 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 2: But the number you cite is smoking, not vaping. Vapings 774 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 2: replaced smoking, as you well know, are we going to 775 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 2: be talking about this in ten years and having a 776 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 2: vape free community by twenty thirty five or forty five 777 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 2: or whatever. 778 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 15: And this is where this issue's got conflated. You know, 779 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,240 Speaker 15: the Royal College of Positions that vaping is about five 780 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 15: percent of the level of harm of smoking, considerably less, 781 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 15: not just a little bit less, considerably less. Yes, nicotine 782 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 15: addiction is a problem and we need to work through that. 783 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 15: But from a harm perspective, this thing that was killing 784 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 15: people at such high rates and such adverse health for pets, 785 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 15: vaping does not present that level of risk. And that 786 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 15: was the proportional discussion around risk proportion. 787 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 2: I followed you with a great deal of interest in 788 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 2: the house, particularly at question time. You've taken the tremendous 789 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 2: amount of heat from the opposition how's that been as 790 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 2: an experience as a new MP slash minister. 791 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 15: Well, I kind of always liken the house to being 792 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 15: giving evidence. When you're in the police, you know, you 793 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 15: know your facts, you stick to your point. You Yes, 794 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,480 Speaker 15: they'll try and rastle you. But I had never done 795 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 15: anything wrong in this space. 796 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 6: I knew that. 797 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 15: And eventually it was disappointing because of all the things 798 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 15: that are going on and all the portfolios I've got, 799 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 15: This was just a tiny portion of work and yet 800 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 15: sort of got you know, I think I got my 801 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 15: first question that wasn't related to smoking after a year, 802 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 15: you know, in the house, and I've got custom serious 803 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 15: organized crime. I've got, you know, all the other health portfolios, 804 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,439 Speaker 15: and this one kind of distracted everybody. But I think 805 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 15: it's come into a good place and you just navigate the. 806 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 2: Storm, appreciate time as social your Health Minister Casey Costello 807 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 2: sixteen past. 808 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: Red first full show podcast on iHeartRadio. Howard by News 809 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: talks that be. 810 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 2: Sociate Governor Karen Silk from the Reserve Banks whether shortly 811 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 2: Adriana wasn't involved in some sort of Pacific governors meeting 812 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 2: this morning, He's not in front of the Select Committee either, 813 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 2: so he sort of vanished off the face of the earth. 814 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 10: Mike. 815 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 2: When you hose down the economy in print money the 816 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,920 Speaker 2: way the Reserve Bank did, it takes a lot of 817 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 2: petrol to start the fire again. Stephen Joyce's spot on, 818 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: as you've been saying all along, it's so hard for 819 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 2: business out here. It's real, and I just think there's 820 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 2: a massive discount. I think there's a disconnect between what 821 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank sees and what's happening in the economy. 822 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 2: And I think, and I increasingly worry as I try 823 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 2: to point out to Steve, and I think there's a 824 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,720 Speaker 2: disconnect between the government and the Reserve Bank. They're stuck 825 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 2: with the Reserve Bank governor. They should have sacked them, 826 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 2: they couldn't or didn't, and now they're trying to busily 827 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 2: spring I mean, if you looked yesterday, there were two 828 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 2: dueling press conferences going on. I watched the Joyce not 829 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,439 Speaker 2: the Joys one, the Ore one. But at the same 830 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 2: time Willis and Luxen were out there telling you, you know, 831 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 2: the economy is on it. You know, they're desperately trying 832 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 2: to see the good in the economy, and you can't 833 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 2: blame them. It's their economy, but it's not as good 834 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 2: as they make it out to be. And it's not 835 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 2: as good as they make it out to be because 836 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 2: the guy who's running the place or isn't that good. 837 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 2: He hasn't been that good, and he continues not to 838 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 2: be that good, and so they're trying to make a 839 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,839 Speaker 2: silk purse out of a sousa. Mike, the RB nailed 840 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 2: it by pausing at four point three five RBA the 841 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 2: Australian Bank pausing at four point three five in comparison 842 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 2: or as a complete bloody shocker, and the economy and 843 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 2: households are paying the price while he swands around on 844 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand dollars a year. Ask the average Australian 845 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 2: though they are not feeling too bullish themselves. They can't 846 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,839 Speaker 2: afford the power bill, and they can't afford to buy 847 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 2: a house. They are no question materially better off than 848 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 2: we are, but they don't see it, and that, I 849 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: guess is sort of an example of the Yale politic. 850 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 1: Seven The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 851 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: How If They News Talks. 852 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 2: Evy you know who the pioneers and modern technology are 853 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 2: of course rain drove rain Drove of LA.

To contact Generest retailer for 870 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 2: more information Pasking seven, twenty four. I'm more knowledgeable about 871 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 2: the Pike River tragedy than the Tony Gibson Auckland Port 872 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,479 Speaker 2: court case. But out of Pike River came the law 873 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 2: that got Gibson yesterday as former boss of the Port 874 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 2: of Auckland over the death of the worker. Now he's 875 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 2: been found guilty, he may appeal. You would imagine if 876 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 2: the verdict stands and a penalty is imposed, it would 877 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 2: have a severe chilling effect in the world of CEOs. 878 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 2: Just where is the line for a boss in looking 879 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 2: after the safety of the staff beyond the broad based 880 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,719 Speaker 2: and widely understood rules we have currently and do. Court 881 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 2: cases like this now reset those boundaries as to what 882 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 2: you must do or might do as regard safety in 883 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 2: a large workplace. Some workplaces are inherently dangerous, of course 884 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 2: because of their nature. Rules will be in place, But 885 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 2: how tight do those rules need to be? And it's 886 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 2: out of that sort of expectation if you think about it, 887 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 2: the life in general can sometimes be brought to a 888 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 2: sort of a standstill by the just in case mentality. 889 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 2: Work in safety driven by good intention stifling in the 890 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 2: real world, that's your potential problem and taking the very 891 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 2: specific responsibility right up the chain to the corner office 892 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 2: for a person not falling off or falling over or 893 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 2: falling into something. That's a tremendous amount of very specific expectation. 894 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 2: I would have thought, especially in a large company, when 895 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 2: the numerical gap between the boss and a bloke on 896 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 2: the floor or a machine might be large. It's an 897 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 2: interesting concept, I think, to judicially skip any number of 898 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,439 Speaker 2: people between the victim and the CEO. What I don't 899 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 2: know about Pike River was it was a top down mess. 900 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 2: If you were looking for blame, there was no shortage 901 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 2: of it to spread all about the place. A lot 902 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 2: of people wanted Peter Whittle if you remember, to pay, 903 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 2: but that was more predicated on him being an easy target, 904 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 2: not because he and he alone was responsible. How much 905 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 2: of this new law came out of that same mentality, Oh, 906 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,120 Speaker 2: I don't worry about the detail or the fairness. Just 907 00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 2: let's look to have somebody pay. And if that's what's 908 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 2: driven it is that good law or a lot of 909 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 2: potential trouble and a reason not to be the boss 910 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 2: asking right stuff. You won't have heard around the media 911 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 2: being trumpeted as it should have been. There's fewer than 912 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 2: a thousand families living in an emergency accommodation. This will 913 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 2: be news to you because you haven't heard it way 914 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 2: having you heard it, fewer than a thousand households living 915 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 2: in emergency housing. Is that a big drop? Yes, it is. 916 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 2: How big a drop is that, Mike, Well, it's a 917 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 2: sixty eight percent drop since septem So by the end 918 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 2: of last year you had three thousand, one hundred and 919 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 2: forty one households. That's down to nine hundred and ninety three. 920 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 2: Came out of a thing called Priority one. It's a 921 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 2: fast tracked policy. Households with kids were moved straight to 922 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 2: the top of the social housing waitlist and since then, 923 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 2: seven hundred and eighty six households, including sixteen hundred and 924 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,479 Speaker 2: eighteen kids, who were in emergency housing, have been placed 925 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 2: in social housing. So that's a policy that's working in 926 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 2: the government. Buy and Large has had a very good week. 927 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 2: They opened a police station in Auckland. These things are 928 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 2: not hard to solve. This is what I'm trying to 929 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 2: tell you. These things are not hard to solve if 930 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 2: you're focus and you do it right. So they opened 931 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 2: a police station downtown Auckland. Good idea, excellent idea. Why 932 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 2: hadn't they done that before because we were run by idiots. 933 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 2: Changes to the way they build social housing in this 934 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,800 Speaker 2: country with charitable housing, good idea, simple idea Sport New Zealand, 935 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,280 Speaker 2: big fat review into that good. Let's hope something productive 936 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 2: comes out of that. Now we found out there were 937 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,760 Speaker 2: a fewer than a thousand families living in emergency housing 938 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,720 Speaker 2: under the previous government. It was a disaster. The queue 939 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 2: was growing. Asked the people who wrote Arua how that 940 00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 2: was going for them all of a sudden, Give them 941 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 2: twelve months and a bit of logic and you've half 942 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 2: got your problem solved. Now speaking of the problems, back 943 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 2: to the Reserve Bank Associate Governor Karen silk Is. But 944 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 2: moments away here at news Talk. 945 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: Save the newsmakers and the personalities the big names talk to, 946 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: like the my costing breakfast with the range rover bella 947 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: designed to intrigue and use consentad Be. 948 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 2: James for assigned a chat possibly for the final time. 949 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,919 Speaker 2: I'll tell that story.

Inflation partly under controlled non trade 952 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 2: will still the problem. Fifty point cats another unlikely infegory 953 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,919 Speaker 2: on our way to a neutral number of about three 954 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 2: percent by the middle of next year. The rby's Associate Governor, 955 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,720 Speaker 2: Karen Silk, is with us. Good morning, Good morning mate. 956 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 2: I was surprised to I was surprised. We had a 957 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 2: lot of things yesterday in the press conference, the seventy 958 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 2: five points, how little consideration was given to them. 959 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, Mike, we consider all potential and restraint changes, but 960 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 14: we could settled on fifty basis point being cut being 961 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,560 Speaker 14: the most appropriate fit at this point to support both 962 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 14: our primary inflation and secondary obviously our secondary objectives, and 963 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,320 Speaker 14: it's all about charting a steady course. 964 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: Of action. 965 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 14: And around what best enables that. The fifty fifty point 966 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:29,280 Speaker 14: basis recognizes that wonderful news inflation headline inflation back within 967 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 14: the target range, and we have a pretty good level 968 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,919 Speaker 14: of confidence about that remaining there. But it's got under 969 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 14: the over in terms of how we've managed to get there. 970 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 14: On the one hand, you've got weak global growth, lower 971 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:49,399 Speaker 14: inflation off shore that's leading to lower import prices, which 972 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:54,439 Speaker 14: is good news. On the other hand, domestic inflation that well, 973 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 14: that's coming down, that's still sitting outside of the target range, 974 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 14: and so we're still you know, we still look for 975 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 14: that comes back at least to the top end of 976 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 14: the range, which is where it's historically sat. 977 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 2: Do you think it will because Transpower were given clearance 978 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 2: the other day to raise six billion dollars, all of 979 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,920 Speaker 2: which will be inflationary. As long as that's going on, 980 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 2: then you get insurance, then you get the councils. As 981 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,879 Speaker 2: long as that's going on, non tradables going nowhere fast, 982 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 2: is it? 983 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 14: Yeah, Yeah, there's definitely a mix of things. There is 984 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 14: some persistence and domestic inflation from you know, what we 985 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 14: would recall what would refer to as items that are 986 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 14: a little less responsive to monetary policy, and you know, 987 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 14: but there are also some things in there that are 988 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 14: just slow moving, and you know, rents is a good 989 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 14: example of that. But as you say, there are things 990 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 14: like insurance and rates and so you know, those were 991 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 14: kind of things that will tend to also hold domestic 992 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 14: inflation towards that higher end of the range as well. 993 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 2: Point two five fifty, all things being equal, coming in 994 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 2: February year STI, you got one hundred and twenty five 995 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 2: points to get rid of by the middle of next year. 996 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 2: So that's another fifty in twenty five. Is that roughly 997 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:10,439 Speaker 2: how it will play out? 998 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 13: Yeah. 999 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 14: So what we've indicated in our track, based on the 1000 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 14: economic conditions that we're looking at today and our forecast 1001 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 14: for next year, we're looking for more carts earlier in 1002 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 14: the earlier part of next year, and then are gradual 1003 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 14: tapering off over the years. 1004 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 2: When you talk about productivity as you did yesterday, how 1005 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,399 Speaker 2: worried are you about the brain drain? 1006 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 15: Oh? 1007 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 14: Yeah, migration's definitely up. 1008 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,920 Speaker 2: And well yeah, but the problem is they're all leaving 1009 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 2: and fewer and fewer people are coming in, and the 1010 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 2: chances are we're going to be going backwards. None of 1011 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 2: that can be good for the economy, can it. 1012 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 16: Yeah. 1013 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,319 Speaker 14: So there's two things. You know, you'll have seen that. 1014 00:48:54,320 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 14: There's a we we lowered our growth outlooks for the economy. 1015 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 2: Is that because of that, By the way. 1016 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 14: There's tooths there one population growth, so we lowered our 1017 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,520 Speaker 14: estimates of future population growth sitting in there. So that 1018 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 14: has some impact. The second impact to it was is 1019 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 14: our assessment of productivity and New Zealand's productivity levels are low. 1020 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 14: We have businesses that tend to focus on hiring labor 1021 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 14: rather than doing the uptrame investment in capital that may 1022 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,720 Speaker 14: you know that will help help us do things quicker 1023 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 14: and faster. When you have low productivity levels, your potential 1024 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 14: growth is lower. 1025 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,839 Speaker 15: So that is what the other driver are. 1026 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 2: Those two things that you can't daw bone. You wish 1027 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,440 Speaker 2: you could, but you can't. So one is the productivity. 1028 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 2: We've had this discussion for decades in this country. We 1029 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 2: were just no good at it. The other one Adrian 1030 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 2: reference getting money out of housing and into something else 1031 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 2: that doesn't happen either. Are you frustrated by that? 1032 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 14: I think most New Zealanders should be f strated by that. 1033 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,799 Speaker 14: Mike productivity, There are things New Zelen can do about that. 1034 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 14: A lot of those things don't sit within the Reserve 1035 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 14: banks wheelhouse. You know, there are certainly things that need 1036 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 14: to happen to think about improvement of access to capital, 1037 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 14: improvements in willingness for businesses to adopt the pace of technology, faster, 1038 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 14: investment in R and D, all those things. Education we 1039 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 14: need our education up. All of those are things will 1040 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 14: drive that's outside of our out outside of our wheelhouse house. 1041 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 14: Prices look, interest rates do impact on that. We are 1042 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 14: forecasting a bounce in house prices through next year of 1043 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 14: the off the back of lower interest rates, but we're 1044 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 14: not expecting that to be a significant growth story moving forward. 1045 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 14: There are things that initiatives that governments talking about which 1046 00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,960 Speaker 14: will increase there creates the ability to improve the supply 1047 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 14: of housing. We definitely need to see that to stop 1048 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 14: that circlical case. And on our side, the introduction of 1049 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 14: depth and some ratios sure that over time helps move 1050 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 14: the cycle right as well. 1051 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 2: I've never talked to you before, so it's an apt 1052 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 2: time to ask the question. Given that we've had three recessions, 1053 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 2: most likely three recessions in two years, do you carry 1054 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 2: personal responsibility and feel bad for what you've done to 1055 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 2: this country? 1056 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 14: Do I feel bad? But the best thing that we 1057 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 14: can do is ensure that there's price stability in this economy. 1058 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 14: So low stable inflation is the best thing that we 1059 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 14: can do for economic wellbeing. Monetary policy has been proven 1060 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 14: to be the best thing to support that, and that 1061 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 14: is meant that we have had to undertake actions through 1062 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 14: restriction of monetary policy to get ourselves back will to 1063 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 14: get New Zealand back into a we have low stable inflation. 1064 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 2: It you're giving me the Reserve Bank line, Karen, I'm 1065 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 2: talking about all the other reserve banks that haven't had 1066 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,959 Speaker 2: three recessions. You guys have cocked it up worse than others. 1067 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,439 Speaker 2: Does that make you feel bad? 1068 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,560 Speaker 14: I don't think we have cocked it up, Mike. I 1069 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 14: think what we've done is respond to the conditions. 1070 00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 13: That we have. 1071 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 14: There are things that are different about this economy. If 1072 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 14: you want to compare us to the US, the big 1073 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 14: difference between New Zealand and the US is our productivity levels, 1074 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 14: results and we can do things. We can grow without 1075 00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 14: creating capacity pressures which lead to inflation. So we're responding 1076 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,960 Speaker 14: to the conditions that we have here in New Zealand. 1077 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Karen Silk, who is the Associate Governor 1078 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 2: of the Reserve Bank. 1079 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 1: Sixteen two, Come the Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast 1080 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,760 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio Power by News Talks. 1081 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,799 Speaker 2: That'd be great interview. Mike insightful, like or Karen. Both 1082 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 2: exhibits zero accountability. 1083 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 6: Mike. 1084 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:58,680 Speaker 2: In fact, you can't speak to anyone in business after 1085 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 2: midday on a Friday's why we have poor productivity. It's 1086 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 2: the mentality. I think there's something in that to be Frank, Mike, 1087 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,080 Speaker 2: guess what also slow moving my business interest has killed 1088 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:08,919 Speaker 2: me the last two years. All that money that could 1089 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,240 Speaker 2: have been in taxes going to someone at the bank somewhere. 1090 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,440 Speaker 2: Reserve Bank needs to take responsibility. Mike, listening to your 1091 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 2: summary only not wrong with your reflection. Less people or 1092 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 2: fewer people and the need and to please, and no 1093 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 2: end insight for the hospital crisis. But not high on 1094 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 2: the feel good love you work appreciated at Mike. I 1095 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,719 Speaker 2: work down at the ports. This is regards the court 1096 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,359 Speaker 2: case yesterday. I worked down at the ports. They have 1097 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 2: incredible amounts of training for h and s. However, no 1098 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 2: amount of rules will stop people being stupid or doing 1099 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 2: something stupid. We are taking personal which is not to 1100 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 2: say the tragedy, by the way, was stupidity. We're taking 1101 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 2: personal responsibility away from individuals. I tend to agree accountability 1102 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,360 Speaker 2: is one thing. But you look at a company the 1103 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,960 Speaker 2: size of a port and you're saying, the bloke down 1104 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 2: there on the container is being looked after directly by 1105 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 2: the CEO in the corner office, and that's a big 1106 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 2: long bow to draw. Legally speaking, I've been thinking all 1107 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 2: morning about your comments that the Trump ites just don't 1108 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 2: get the tariffs or inflationary. I think they do to 1109 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 2: put jobs at home before that, and they also realize, 1110 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 2: for instance, that buying cheap Chinese goods at just below 1111 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,720 Speaker 2: full price is in fact more inflationary. Here's a woman 1112 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,320 Speaker 2: that John King talked to a while back on CNN. 1113 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 5: Why are we bringing Argentinian beef in? Why are we 1114 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 5: bringing New Zealand and Australian beef in and then exporting 1115 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 5: some of our beef. Why don't we first just feed 1116 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 5: our beef to our Americans? 1117 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,240 Speaker 2: And that's what he tapped into so successfully in the election. 1118 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,440 Speaker 2: Of course that doesn't make sense, but they believe it, 1119 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 2: and if they believe it, it's real. Tender way my cost 1120 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 2: gilbreakfas with Bailey's real estate news talks. They the light 1121 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,400 Speaker 2: turven away from Lae. Black Caps are about to get 1122 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 2: their summer of cricket underway, first of three tests against 1123 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 2: England mcginns in the Garden City this morning. Russian Revender 1124 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 2: is with us. Very good morning, good man, very well. 1125 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 2: How's the week been by way a build. 1126 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 17: Up, Yeah, it's been good obviously, t this week's always 1127 00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 17: an exciting time and we've been able get underway and 1128 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 17: seeing all the boys again is always fun. So it's 1129 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:04,280 Speaker 17: been a good sofer. 1130 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,839 Speaker 2: And do you have a personal attachment to christ Church 1131 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:08,799 Speaker 2: in terms? I mean, to my eye, it's the most 1132 00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 2: beautiful place to play test cricket. Do you agree or 1133 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 2: is there somewhere else for you? 1134 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,399 Speaker 17: I can't completely agree with you there. I do really 1135 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 17: like the city christ Church, and I love the Grand 1136 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 17: hagli Opal, but I think Wellington, based in Reserve, takes 1137 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 17: the cake. Obviously I'm a little biased in that place, 1138 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 17: but that's the one for me. 1139 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 2: And they tell do you have any indication of tickets 1140 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 2: for Christians? Because they're told I'm told Wellington's a sellout 1141 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:31,879 Speaker 2: or virtually a sellout. 1142 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 17: I'm pretty sure it's heading that way, if not already 1143 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,719 Speaker 17: that way. At Hagley, it's pretty cool to see the 1144 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 17: interest in the series and loving you doing public geting 1145 00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,280 Speaker 17: behind us, and I mean home summer packed. That crowd 1146 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 17: is up and really better, is it? 1147 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly? So how much do you reckon of what 1148 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 2: happened in India has led to this then and the 1149 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 2: increased level of interest in expectation? 1150 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,359 Speaker 17: Yeah, obviously it's always hard to tell, but I feel 1151 00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 17: like there is. There's a lot more I use people 1152 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,960 Speaker 17: when they're walking around just saying congratulations, done and India 1153 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 17: and stuff. 1154 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:01,879 Speaker 6: Which is cool. 1155 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 17: I think. I feel like the viewership was through the 1156 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 17: roof for currict, especially with it starting at five pm, 1157 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,439 Speaker 17: was a great time for people after work, et cetera. 1158 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 17: But I mean that's what we want, right, We want 1159 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 17: the public tea behind us and hopefully we can keep 1160 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 17: inspiring people to keep playing the game and more than 1161 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 17: the cricket itself, also being good people off the part 1162 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,720 Speaker 17: two and our little interactions that we have with fans, 1163 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 17: So that's that's important to us too. 1164 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,440 Speaker 2: And do you walk tall of because of India or 1165 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 2: does the precious sitting going jeez, we did that. We 1166 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 2: better carry on. 1167 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,879 Speaker 17: I think as a group, I think we're pretty good 1168 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 17: at managing that expectation. Plus you know confidence. Look, we're 1169 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:40,840 Speaker 17: as a group what is confident in our ability and 1170 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 17: we trust each other to go out there and do 1171 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 17: the job. But at the end of the day, we 1172 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,359 Speaker 17: know England are a good side and challenging side too, 1173 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 17: but also understanding the conditions are very different to India, 1174 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,879 Speaker 17: so it's a different ball game. But you do take 1175 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,280 Speaker 17: you know, momentum and stuff plays plays a big factor, 1176 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,280 Speaker 17: but at the end of the day, it's a new series, 1177 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,280 Speaker 17: completely clean slate, so we'll go out there with that mindset. 1178 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:00,640 Speaker 2: I think, do you play a lot of weight on 1179 00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,799 Speaker 2: the home team ground advantage? 1180 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 17: I guess so, but also understanding that England playing very 1181 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 17: similar conditions too, you know, fast ball, the dominant swing, 1182 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,200 Speaker 17: swing conditions, nipping conditions, so it's not too fine for them, 1183 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,720 Speaker 17: So I'd say it's a little more balanced than say, 1184 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 17: you know, us sitting to India was spinning and stuff, 1185 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 17: completely different conditions. 1186 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 2: Okay, here's the thing we came up with on the 1187 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 2: show the other day. I asked the question, Guy Hevelt, 1188 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,760 Speaker 2: who's into cricket? He backed you guys, But I asked 1189 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,479 Speaker 2: this question, Auckland FC football, right, first year in the league, 1190 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 2: top of the table, they go and win the whole 1191 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,760 Speaker 2: competition in their first year. Is that the Hellberg Prize 1192 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,439 Speaker 2: winning team of the year or is it the black 1193 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 2: Caps in India? 1194 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 17: I look, I can't, I can't come in on there. 1195 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 17: I guess I'm too invested in one of the teams. 1196 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,600 Speaker 17: And also I'm sorry, aukwand I'm a willing to fox. 1197 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 2: Guy all right, fair enough, listen, go well to appreciate 1198 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 2: it very much.

No one voted to let kids start vaping? 1204 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,480 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. What is it you want the government 1205 00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 2: to do? Just do you want the government to sleep 1206 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 2: with you as well? Would you like them to vacuum 1207 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 2: your house? Just where does the government begin? 1208 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 18: Is that an option? 1209 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 1: No? 1210 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 18: Get in my house? Work done? 1211 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 2: I'm watching these people in the last couple of days 1212 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 2: going and that government's not dying. At what point, if 1213 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 2: you're a smoker, and whether you want to give up 1214 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,920 Speaker 2: or not is your call? At what point is that 1215 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 2: on you versus on the government that will presumably wave 1216 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 2: some magic wand paid for us all so you can 1217 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:43,600 Speaker 2: solve your own What if. 1218 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 18: They did come and wipe your bum for you with 1219 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 18: your cigarettes? 1220 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 2: With that, I reckon that wouldn't last long because you 1221 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 2: get embarrassed.

It's yet to unfold. 1225 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 2: But the futures market is quite often right, and they 1226 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 2: got a vibe for what's going on. The demand is 1227 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 2: there from China. This is another thing that wasn't widely 1228 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,000 Speaker 2: reported enough yesterday.

It's a very messed 1255 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:35,040 Speaker 19: up and at times evil industry that yeah, I think. 1256 01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 3: I've got nothing more to prove. 1257 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 19: And when you're sort of stuck in that, in that 1258 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,840 Speaker 19: washing machine of an industry with you evil people and 1259 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,920 Speaker 19: thieves and snakes, you know, when you don't have much 1260 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 19: more to prove and you're looking at the guitar in 1261 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 19: the morning and it's not looking as beautiful as it 1262 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,280 Speaker 19: used to, I felt like I just needed to step 1263 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:57,520 Speaker 19: away to sort of preserve that care love for the music. 1264 01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 2: Wow, So what's gone wrong? 1265 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 19: I think firstly, I think, you know, I'm grateful that 1266 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,439 Speaker 19: a lot went right, you know, I think ninety nine 1267 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 19: point nine percent of musicians aren't lucky enough to be 1268 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 19: in the position that I've been able to, you know, 1269 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 19: tour the world and play with my heroes and get 1270 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:19,439 Speaker 19: hundreds of millions of plays. But I think to keep 1271 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 19: it succinct because I could. I could be here for 1272 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:26,120 Speaker 19: hours explaining the ins and outs of it. But I think, 1273 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 19: you know, I fell out of favor with a record 1274 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 19: label and trying to basically climb up the ladder. And 1275 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 19: then once I got onto this newer, bigger record label, 1276 01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 19: the executive who was in charge of sort of champion 1277 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,840 Speaker 19: championing me, he got into a very big scandal over 1278 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 19: in Australia, which was national news over there, and he 1279 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 19: got fired and all his team got fired, and then 1280 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 19: I was. 1281 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,720 Speaker 2: Sort of the casualty. 1282 01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 19: Yeah, I was a casualty and very much the little 1283 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 19: cousin from New Zealand as we see with Australia and 1284 01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 19: all sorts of areas. And I came back with my 1285 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,480 Speaker 19: tail in between my legs, and I was no longer 1286 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 19: viewed in a positive light by people in the industry here. 1287 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 2: And that is that on you or was that just 1288 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 2: a set of circumstances beyond dual control. 1289 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 19: I think it's you know, in retrospect, it's probably a 1290 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 19: bit of both. You know, I always had the idea 1291 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,480 Speaker 19: and mindset of I'm going to put New Zealand on 1292 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,880 Speaker 19: my back and take it to the world. And I 1293 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 19: was never, never ashamed of that, and I definitely wasn't 1294 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 19: afraid to step on some throats but to do that, 1295 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,640 Speaker 19: and I think I had the right sort of mindset. 1296 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 19: But you know, when you try and apply that in 1297 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 19: a very radical way, sometimes it comes back to it. 1298 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 2: So you're a bit competitive for their liking. 1299 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,560 Speaker 3: I think that's that's a great way of putting it. 1300 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so what they would like is for you 1301 01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 2: to come along, be grateful that you're a talent being 1302 01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 2: picked up by a record label. They'll manage you, you 1303 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 2: do as you say, and that'll all work out well. 1304 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:00,040 Speaker 2: Is That's sort of the way it's supposed to. 1305 01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 19: Yeah, And to be fair, you know, all of my 1306 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:07,240 Speaker 19: initial success was with this record label. But yeah, it's 1307 01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,960 Speaker 19: a petty game and a lot of people are very, yeah, 1308 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 19: very petty, and so you know, once I came back 1309 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,920 Speaker 19: with my tail between my legs, I think, you know, 1310 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,600 Speaker 19: they wanted to prove a point and sort of bury 1311 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 19: my stuff. And it never sort of reached the same 1312 01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 19: heights as it did. But you know, I have a 1313 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 19: great core group of fans who you know. I still 1314 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,320 Speaker 19: got to tour the world after on my own world 1315 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 19: tour and that was amazing. But you know, to reach 1316 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,160 Speaker 19: those heights, you definitely need a machine behind me. 1317 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,080 Speaker 2: I was going to ask that. So you're still telling 1318 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 2: me in twenty twenty four, because there's so much of this. 1319 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 2: I did it in my bedroom, and I've got my 1320 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 2: own recorder, and i put it on TikTok, and I've 1321 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 2: gone to the world and beaten success. You're arguing that 1322 01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 2: there's still a structure in the music industry that requires 1323 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 2: an established record label or a group of people to 1324 01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:52,800 Speaker 2: get you out to the world successfully. 1325 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 19: I would definitely say so. And I could sit here 1326 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 19: and debate that point for a very long time. 1327 01:03:59,000 --> 01:03:59,200 Speaker 11: You know. 1328 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 19: I think people like to have the idea that you 1329 01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 19: can do it from your bedroom, and that it seems 1330 01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,640 Speaker 19: like a very attractive idea and theory. But the way 1331 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,720 Speaker 19: that the internet works and the current industry works, I 1332 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 19: would argue you need a structure more than ever, just 1333 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,120 Speaker 19: with the way it sort of goes at the moment. 1334 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 3: And yeah, I wouldn't know. 1335 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,520 Speaker 19: Where to start off if I were, if I was 1336 01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,200 Speaker 19: starting off now, And like I was saying to you 1337 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 19: off air, I'm very grateful for, you know, the journey 1338 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 19: that I had, even in retrospect with all the ups 1339 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,280 Speaker 19: and downs, I'm grateful that I did have that machine 1340 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,000 Speaker 19: to take me to places because I wouldn't know where 1341 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 19: to begin now. But yeah, I would say that that 1342 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 19: you definitely need those people more than ever. But they're 1343 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 19: just sort of disguised in different ways, I guess. 1344 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 2: So what's your state of mind where as this realization 1345 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 2: came to you? You bit are angry, grateful? 1346 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,200 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, probably all of the above. I think it's. 1347 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 19: Yeah, I think once you know, once you've tasted these heights, 1348 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,840 Speaker 19: it's it's hard to let go of. You know, everyone 1349 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 19: has an ego. But yeah, I'm very very grateful. I 1350 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 19: think grateful would be a good sixty five percent chunk 1351 01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 19: of that pie. 1352 01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,840 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's an ongoing sort of I wouldn't. 1353 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,000 Speaker 19: Call it a battle. It's sort of call it a 1354 01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 19: journey that I'm sort of on at the moment. You know, 1355 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 19: some days I wake up and I sort. 1356 01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 3: Of clinched my first at the air. 1357 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 19: And think, you know, still I still have it in 1358 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,560 Speaker 19: the tank, you know, like I can still play for 1359 01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 19: thousands of people, and I feel like I'm better than ever, 1360 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,400 Speaker 19: and I feel like my songs and songwriting's getting better 1361 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 19: than ever. So that in a sense, you know, it's 1362 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 19: very bittersweet, but you know, I'd be silly to not 1363 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,880 Speaker 19: be grateful for the amazing experiences I've had. You know, 1364 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 19: like I came into music with the goal of playing 1365 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,440 Speaker 19: R and V and having one hundred thousand streams on 1366 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,640 Speaker 19: my song, and you know, I got to open for 1367 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 19: Edge here and have my own world tour, and I 1368 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,400 Speaker 19: got three hundred million streams. So it's you know, I 1369 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 19: really blew it out out the part compared to my 1370 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 19: initial expectations. 1371 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 3: But you know it's like once you taste that, you 1372 01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:05,600 Speaker 3: want more, you know. 1373 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,480 Speaker 19: Yeah, I think everyone sort of can allude to that 1374 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,880 Speaker 19: in their own way in their life. But you know, 1375 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,720 Speaker 19: looking back and looking forward, I've got some really exciting 1376 01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,040 Speaker 19: doors that are opening in other fields. And you know, 1377 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 19: if it was never going to happen in the future, 1378 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,600 Speaker 19: I can definitely look back and be incredibly grateful. It's 1379 01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 19: a zero point zero zero zero one thing that I've 1380 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 19: got to do. And you know, the people are the 1381 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,439 Speaker 19: are the ones that come to the shows and listen 1382 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 19: to the music. So I'm forever grateful for anyone who's 1383 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 19: listened or got more tender. 1384 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,880 Speaker 2: So you've got an album still to come.

He's good, hope, he 1479 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,640 Speaker 2: keeps going, great song. So you like a bit of 1480 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 2: Mitch James thoroughly enjoyed him. It really was a fantastic story. 1481 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,040 Speaker 2: I remember a year years ago, eight nine years ago this, 1482 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,519 Speaker 2: you know, out of London busking, the whole thing. It 1483 01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,479 Speaker 2: was one of those dream come true type things. It's 1484 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,519 Speaker 2: funny how the arc and the circle of life? Can 1485 01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 2: you have an arcanda circle of life in any other circle. 1486 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,440 Speaker 18: Of yess that goes on long enough, it becomes. 1487 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:38,040 Speaker 2: A circle, doesn't it. 1488 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 18: That's deep in there. 1489 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,760 Speaker 2: It was fantastic in the Senate yesterday in Australia, very 1490 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,720 Speaker 2: Maori party. So if you think the Mari party was 1491 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:46,880 Speaker 2: highly entertaining. Hey, you should have been at the Senate 1492 01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:51,639 Speaker 2: of Australia yesterday. Fatima Payment accused Pauline Hanson of racism, 1493 01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,320 Speaker 2: questioned her eligibility to sit in the Parliament. This was 1494 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:58,479 Speaker 2: Hanson doing the questioning. Payment labeled Hanson vindictive, mean and nasty. 1495 01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,639 Speaker 2: Then prompted the independ senator Lydia Thorpe to tear up documents, 1496 01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,800 Speaker 2: all tearing up documents in parliament? Where have we seen 1497 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,479 Speaker 2: that before? And walk out in support. Labour had joined 1498 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,960 Speaker 2: Hansen to allow documents to be tabled in the Senate 1499 01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:16,519 Speaker 2: questioning Payment's eligibility. Payment fired up the fact that you 1500 01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 2: would say, just weeks ago to Senator Faruki, who's another 1501 01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:25,120 Speaker 2: person piss off back to Pakistan. You're not just vindictive 1502 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 2: me nasty. You bring disgrace to the human race, so 1503 01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 2: Payment said, while she was honored to live rent free. 1504 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,400 Speaker 2: In Hanson's mind, it was outrageous to waste time in 1505 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,080 Speaker 2: the Senate where there was a legislative agenda to address meantime. 1506 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 2: Lydia Thorpe walks out, having thrown the papers at Hanson 1507 01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 2: on the way out. She then gives the middle finger 1508 01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,360 Speaker 2: over her shoulder as she leaves the chamber. So it's 1509 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 2: all on. 1510 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 4: It's pretty good. 1511 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,640 Speaker 18: I haven't heard anybody call somebody to disgrace to the 1512 01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,560 Speaker 18: human race as high school precisely. 1513 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:58,799 Speaker 2: Senate President Sue Lyons has advised the Parliamentary Workplace Support 1514 01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 2: Service of the incident will review it, and they partially 1515 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,320 Speaker 2: reviewed it. Because they've banned old Lydia from the Senate. 1516 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,120 Speaker 2: We've yet to work through because the parliament's not sitting 1517 01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,479 Speaker 2: yet again, the Parliament's not sitting in this country, so 1518 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,880 Speaker 2: they haven't got to the Privileges Committee and all of that. 1519 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 2: So that's that's a bit of fun still to come 1520 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 2: for next week. But Jesus all going Australia, Australia and 1521 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,280 Speaker 2: New Zealand fun times in twenty twenty four. Right, let's 1522 01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,400 Speaker 2: get to Britain in the moment. Rod Liddle this next 1523 01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:24,080 Speaker 2: after the news, which is also. 1524 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 1: Next big News, bold opinions, the mic asking, breakfast with Vida, retirement, communities, 1525 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 1: life your Way news, togsad be. 1526 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:37,320 Speaker 2: That's the other thing out of Australia should have told 1527 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:38,920 Speaker 2: you about before the news, but it didn't have time. 1528 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,360 Speaker 2: Independent MP Andrew Wilkie, this is the business. They're running 1529 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 2: the Parliament up until the end of the week and 1530 01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:45,240 Speaker 2: then that's it for the year. And they got a 1531 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:46,880 Speaker 2: whole bunch of stuff they want to try and get through, 1532 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:51,439 Speaker 2: one of which is this much talked about social media band, 1533 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:53,920 Speaker 2: which doesn't appear to be going particularly well for them. 1534 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,360 Speaker 2: And the Independent MP Andrew Wilkie said yesterday he had 1535 01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,800 Speaker 2: backflipped on supporting They thought they had, now they don't. 1536 01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,600 Speaker 2: He said, I've backflip because I've worked out and I 1537 01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:07,160 Speaker 2: have a confession to make. The whole thing's nonsense. So 1538 01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 2: as far as beckflips go, that's quite good. Meantime, in Britain, 1539 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:13,160 Speaker 2: here's kimming. 1540 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,679 Speaker 21: While he flies around making unilateral commitments. Back home. 1541 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:18,879 Speaker 3: The real world. 1542 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 21: Effects are businesses closing in Bedfordshire and Basildon. Does the 1543 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,479 Speaker 21: Prime Minister stand by his promise to ban the sale 1544 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:29,040 Speaker 21: of petrol cars by twenty thirty even if more jobs 1545 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:29,599 Speaker 21: will be lost. 1546 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:31,840 Speaker 2: So the pressures on, of course, and it's not just 1547 01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 2: in Britain but all over Europe. At the moment he 1548 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 2: is Sekiah. 1549 01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,800 Speaker 7: I would remind the leader of the Opposition that the 1550 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 7: Evy mandates that are an issue in this particular case, 1551 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,919 Speaker 7: were actually introduced by the last government. 1552 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:48,519 Speaker 13: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind 1553 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:49,960 Speaker 13: for New Zealand business in Britain. 1554 01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:51,200 Speaker 2: A little morning, mates. 1555 01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 12: Good morning, she's beginning to she's beginning to chip away 1556 01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:59,360 Speaker 12: at Sakiah and is easily on top. Sure in pmp's 1557 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:04,280 Speaker 12: most most times. These are interesting times. 1558 01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,839 Speaker 2: Indeed, how much trouble is the government in industrial Britain. 1559 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:14,439 Speaker 12: It's in huge trouble. You know. It's now become all 1560 01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,519 Speaker 12: those decliche to say that the first one hundred years, 1561 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,599 Speaker 12: first one hundred days of the God forbid for one 1562 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 12: hundred years, those one hundred days of the clear Starma 1563 01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,920 Speaker 12: administration was the worst in history and certainly the worst 1564 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,759 Speaker 12: sins in nineteen thirty. It's a Ramsey McDonald. I suppose 1565 01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:34,080 Speaker 12: you might argue. The suspicion now is that the second 1566 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 12: one hundred days it's going to be even worse. You know, 1567 01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:40,800 Speaker 12: it really is looking grin. Partly is the consequence of 1568 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,120 Speaker 12: the budget. Partly is the consequence of things that the 1569 01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:47,200 Speaker 12: government can't adjudicate for but might have taken into mind. 1570 01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,439 Speaker 12: So the stuff it wants to do, which is grow 1571 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 12: the economy, it can't do that because the employers are 1572 01:16:56,080 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 12: handstrung by this increase in national insurance and so they 1573 01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 12: cannot pay more wages, They cannot take more step on 1574 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 12: without incurring excessive debts. Similarly, you know they put up 1575 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 12: this year the year twenty thirty year zero stuff. This 1576 01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,320 Speaker 12: is ed Milliban's brainchild, a man who should not be 1577 01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:20,400 Speaker 12: near the leavers of power. And already that is beginning 1578 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:24,400 Speaker 12: to sap as a consequence of the people who make 1579 01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 12: the electric cars which would enable us to move towards 1580 01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,040 Speaker 12: that position, getting the hell out of the country because 1581 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:34,559 Speaker 12: the climate industrially isn't right for them to invest. And 1582 01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:38,240 Speaker 12: that is a damning indictment of a government which said 1583 01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:40,799 Speaker 12: that it was going to grow the economy. The economy 1584 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:45,800 Speaker 12: is shrinking, may go into recession and also keep inflation down. 1585 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,040 Speaker 4: Inflation has risen exactly. 1586 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,800 Speaker 2: So where are we at with the Texas because last 1587 01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,240 Speaker 2: time we talked, I think there was that speculation that 1588 01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,240 Speaker 2: the economy was so mired that they would need to 1589 01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 2: put up more Texas. Is that going to happen or not? 1590 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:04,960 Speaker 12: Who knows, mate. Here's what we do know that stung 1591 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:09,040 Speaker 12: by the criticism of the budget and by the furious 1592 01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:12,679 Speaker 12: reaction of the Confederation of British Industry and also industries 1593 01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 12: individually about what these rises in national insurance will mean 1594 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:23,479 Speaker 12: for their business. The Chancellor of Rachel Reasons will wheeled 1595 01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:27,760 Speaker 12: out to say there will be no more hikes in taxes. 1596 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 12: That's it, there will be no more. Oh well, we 1597 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 12: all sat back with a degree of relief, until five 1598 01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:40,920 Speaker 12: minutes later she was contradicted by a cabinet collie who said, well, 1599 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:45,800 Speaker 12: there might be a few. This is the way the 1600 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,040 Speaker 12: government is going at the moment. It really has been 1601 01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:53,599 Speaker 12: a catastrophic one hundred and fifty days for labor and 1602 01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,200 Speaker 12: there are no signs of the moment that it's getting 1603 01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:57,080 Speaker 12: any better at all. 1604 01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,519 Speaker 2: Here's my problem in my ongoing fascination with like versus 1605 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,840 Speaker 2: Tory government. So I'm reading with a great deal of interest. 1606 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:05,400 Speaker 2: There's there's million young people who do nothing. They're not 1607 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,160 Speaker 2: in education, they're not in training, they're basically unemployed. They're 1608 01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 2: going to be paid neither the list. So this new 1609 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,920 Speaker 2: labor government comes out and goes, well, look, you know 1610 01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,640 Speaker 2: we're going to guarantee you some training, some apprenticeships and 1611 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,440 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. How was it ever possible 1612 01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:22,679 Speaker 2: that a Tory government was in power for so long 1613 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,160 Speaker 2: and allowed people to sit and do nothing and yet 1614 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:27,560 Speaker 2: paid them. 1615 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:31,040 Speaker 12: There is no question about it that this is a 1616 01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:35,200 Speaker 12: conservative government's fault, that they have allowed it broken the 1617 01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:38,920 Speaker 12: social contract in a way to a degree where it 1618 01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:42,680 Speaker 12: made no sense if you were of a certain if 1619 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:44,839 Speaker 12: you if you have a limited de career of education, 1620 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 12: if you were part of what we used to call 1621 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 12: the working class, it made no sense to go out 1622 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,280 Speaker 12: to work because the wages were so low and the 1623 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:56,680 Speaker 12: benefits were so high. It really is that simple, you know. 1624 01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,960 Speaker 12: But but tackling that and there's a better chance of 1625 01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:05,439 Speaker 12: doing it than the Tories for obvious reasons. Attacking that 1626 01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:10,599 Speaker 12: means offending the vast poverty industry, which will immediately say 1627 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:12,960 Speaker 12: you can't do that, you can't cut benefits, you can't 1628 01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,800 Speaker 12: make it harder the people, because people will die and 1629 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,680 Speaker 12: this clamor will go up and the government will be 1630 01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,680 Speaker 12: in more trouble. But you're absolutely right, this was a 1631 01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,200 Speaker 12: conservative government's failure. 1632 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,759 Speaker 2: I note that JK. Rowling is thrilled with the Women's 1633 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:28,800 Speaker 2: Footballer of the Year. 1634 01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:35,600 Speaker 12: Yes, so the BBC has this competitional women's Footballer of 1635 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,600 Speaker 12: the Year and the people change with drawing up the 1636 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,679 Speaker 12: short list, really have two criteria upon which to choose 1637 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,880 Speaker 12: that it must be a footballer and it must be 1638 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:52,160 Speaker 12: a woman. They failed on one of those. They chose 1639 01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:57,519 Speaker 12: Barbara Banda from Zambia, who is effectively a man, has 1640 01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 12: just failed. That's refused consistently actually to be tested, who 1641 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:11,040 Speaker 12: scores hundreds of golden much as I would even now 1642 01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:15,720 Speaker 12: I think, well, maybe that's just me. And it has 1643 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 12: enraged women in this country, those women who don't sign 1644 01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,080 Speaker 12: up to the fact that because someone liked me might 1645 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 12: say well, actually I'm a lady, that they actually are 1646 01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:30,400 Speaker 12: a lady. And it's more of the BBC's progressive woke 1647 01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,439 Speaker 12: of gender. It didn't need to get itself into this 1648 01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:37,400 Speaker 12: trouble over this issue, but it wanted to because it 1649 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,479 Speaker 12: thinks it's pushing at the barriers of its energy and 1650 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,560 Speaker 12: it's all very very embarrassing. 1651 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:45,360 Speaker 2: Erdie all right, Mike, you have a good week in 1652 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 2: we'll catch up next week.

I raised it whether she still argues it's 1657 01:21:58,400 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 2: not affect that they're beg plans to make it at 1658 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 2: legal for anyone currently fifteen or younger to ever buy 1659 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,639 Speaker 2: cigarettes in the UK. So it was originally a Sunic idea. 1660 01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:10,679 Speaker 2: But it's the tobacco and Vapesville past the first comments 1661 01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,320 Speaker 2: hurdle four fifteen to forty seven. So it's got plenty 1662 01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 2: of support. Capla Toriest, couple of libertem's raised issues about 1663 01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 2: civil liberties, but they seem to be on that pathway 1664 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 2: and we've chosen not to be. Eight forty five. 1665 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,880 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1666 01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:28,599 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1667 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,800 Speaker 2: A'd be for for early Britain. Smithfield's if you've been 1668 01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,160 Speaker 2: there nine hundred years old. They're closing it. They've made 1669 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 2: the call. The City of London's made the call. Meat market. 1670 01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 2: Of course, it's an amazing thing to think something's been 1671 01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 2: there for nine hundred years. Anyway, they were going to 1672 01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:46,439 Speaker 2: move it. Now they decided not even to move it. 1673 01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:48,040 Speaker 2: They're going to close. It's going to cost about six 1674 01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:50,320 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars worth of compensation to get the traders out. 1675 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 2: It's going to be turned into hotels and markets and 1676 01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. So it's open till twenty 1677 01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,320 Speaker 2: twenty eight. So if you're going to Britain in the 1678 01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:57,880 Speaker 2: next couple of years, here, you know, might be a 1679 01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,479 Speaker 2: little bit of history that is soon on its way. Mike, 1680 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 2: you a little bit exercises.

Brett, 1685 01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:17,200 Speaker 2: she's not banned because she's a black woman and you're 1686 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,280 Speaker 2: sort of trying to toy with us. Mike, welcome to 1687 01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:22,240 Speaker 2: free speech to New Zealand. We're a woman who promotes 1688 01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:28,400 Speaker 2: marriage and traditional parenting.

It's not really about parenting all 1692 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,960 Speaker 2: being black, it's about being superdup the controversial. The Australians 1693 01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,880 Speaker 2: don't like us Section fifteen to one break ITTs f 1694 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 2: may not be granted a visa to come to New 1695 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,360 Speaker 2: Zealand if they've been excluded from another country. Australia's national 1696 01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:51,920 Speaker 2: interest is best served when candas owners somewhere else. That's 1697 01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:55,240 Speaker 2: Tony Book, who's the Immigration min it'ster quite a good line. 1698 01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:57,600 Speaker 2: She was due in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelais. She 1699 01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:01,240 Speaker 2: was due here. I think in February. I personally couldn't care. 1700 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:02,880 Speaker 2: I'm you know, you want to go listen to someone speak, 1701 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,439 Speaker 2: let them speak, and let them into the country. That 1702 01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:06,960 Speaker 2: sort of stuff doesn't bother me. But you know, if 1703 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 2: you're going to argue your case, don't argue it along 1704 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,640 Speaker 2: the lines of why she got blocked. It was not 1705 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,719 Speaker 2: because she's black, and it's not because she promotes old 1706 01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:18,639 Speaker 2: fashioned family parenting. Eleven Away from nine the. 1707 01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,960 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Range Rover Villain News. 1708 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:23,800 Speaker 2: Tom said, b which I mean a little something I 1709 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,960 Speaker 2: saw yesterday. Anthony Mason, who's a fairly well known American reporter, 1710 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 2: was doing a piece of this last Sunday on CBS 1711 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,040 Speaker 2: Mornings on Sunday with Paul Simon, and he had done 1712 01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:33,479 Speaker 2: him earlier on in the year, and there's an album 1713 01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 2: that Paul Simon put out called Seven Psalms, and that 1714 01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,799 Speaker 2: story in and of itself is quite an interesting story. Anyway, 1715 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 2: earlier in the year, and then repeated a bit this 1716 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:46,320 Speaker 2: time round, is Simon's lost ninety four percent of the 1717 01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,800 Speaker 2: hearing in one ear and as a result of that, 1718 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,200 Speaker 2: he's and he's sort of gone down the rabbit hole 1719 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,679 Speaker 2: of so many people who look to technology and science 1720 01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 2: and what can change and what can't change, and whether 1721 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,760 Speaker 2: there's any technology coming to help him recover as hearing. 1722 01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:00,160 Speaker 2: To this point, and it's about eight or nine months on, 1723 01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 2: nothing's really changed, which is a shame. So he's having 1724 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,479 Speaker 2: to adjust. He's got some dates. He's retired, but he's 1725 01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,639 Speaker 2: got some dates with some performances next year. He doesn't 1726 01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 2: know whether he's going to be able to do it, 1727 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:10,840 Speaker 2: but he's hopeful at this present point in time, and 1728 01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:13,840 Speaker 2: he's had to adjust his you know, how he sits, 1729 01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 2: where he sits, what sort of recording studio, how many 1730 01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 2: speakers are around him. He can no longer do percussion, 1731 01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:21,000 Speaker 2: there's no sort of music. He's starting to reimagine some 1732 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,599 Speaker 2: of the famous songs and how he can do that 1733 01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,800 Speaker 2: without percussion. There's no more you can call me out. 1734 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,559 Speaker 2: He will never sing that particular song again unless he 1735 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,840 Speaker 2: completely reimagines it to something acoustic. It's just a fascinating 1736 01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,960 Speaker 2: story on two levels. One what's happened to him? Because 1737 01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,360 Speaker 2: I can tell you very sadly he appears and if 1738 01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:40,240 Speaker 2: you're a big fan of his, let me know what 1739 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 2: you think, because he appears physically, and this is what 1740 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:49,200 Speaker 2: disability does to people. He appears physically to have gone 1741 01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:53,759 Speaker 2: I think, reasonably dramatically downhill in a very short period 1742 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,479 Speaker 2: of time, i e. Within this year. 1743 01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:57,120 Speaker 18: Could we put them all in a band? Because you've 1744 01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 18: got old Elton with only one eye. 1745 01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,800 Speaker 2: There's a lot of it of it going around, I. 1746 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 18: Mean the drummer and deathly of it obviously, and you 1747 01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:11,280 Speaker 18: know old Phil Collins the most done well. Could if 1748 01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,360 Speaker 18: we put them all in a band together, would they 1749 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 18: make GOE? Not a supergroup but a full artist. 1750 01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:20,120 Speaker 2: But it goes against my general thing. If you love 1751 01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 2: what you do, you can do it forever. It's abundantly 1752 01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:26,000 Speaker 2: not true. Time catches up with you. 1753 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:30,080 Speaker 18: We had I mentioned there. We he loves it. He's 1754 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,000 Speaker 18: gonna go off and love something else, isn't he. 1755 01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,640 Speaker 2: Well that's good though, because he's young enough to be 1756 01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:36,400 Speaker 2: able to do that, and that's the interesting thing. Anyway, 1757 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 2: I have a look at it, look it up online 1758 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,439 Speaker 2: and see what you think. Let me know what you think. 1759 01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,080 Speaker 2: By the way, I also found the Paul Simon documentary 1760 01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 2: that I want to watch in what's it called? In 1761 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,880 Speaker 2: Restless Dreams. I can rent it for ninety nine cents. 1762 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,639 Speaker 2: But if I rent it for ninety nine cents, I've 1763 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:56,000 Speaker 2: got to watch it within forty eight hours. But it's 1764 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:57,360 Speaker 2: three and a half hours long and I don't have 1765 01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:58,880 Speaker 2: three and a half hours.
