Past gig Welcome to the day, seven 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 2: past six, with apologies to the rest of the country. 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 2: A quick word, if I might, on the announcement yesterday 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: from the Transport Minister and the Auckland Mayor on the 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: future of Auckland Transport and the desire by the government 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: to strip them of a large chunk of what they do. Firstly, 16 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 2: it was close to another announcement of an announcement. First 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: they got to write the legislation, then introduce the legislation, 18 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: then send it off to a select committee. It is 19 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: only at that point the next stage of the process starts, 20 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: and that will take months. The Minister wanted it all 21 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: up and running and sorted. I think by about two 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: twenty seven. I mean we've got an election before then, 23 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 2: for goodness sake. The upside is Auckland Transport gets what 24 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: was coming to them. Basically, at are arrogant, incompetent, belligerent 25 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: and of little practical use to wider Auckland. They are 26 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: a fifdom of the worst sort and have got their comeuppance. 27 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: They have buggered Auckland Transport Wise downside, the power taken 28 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: from them ends up with the council. The theory is 29 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: the councilor accountable to the people, which on paper is true. 30 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: In reality, not a lot of people actually vote, and 31 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: the people they vote for not all but a lot, 32 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: and not the sort of people you would want to 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 2: be running a lot of important stuff. The proof of 34 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: that is Auckland and the state of it. It is 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 2: not a great council, It is not frequented by great people. 36 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: Hence the idea of an at type operation staff by 37 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: high performing people who actually bring expertise to a high 38 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: wire job like transport in the nation's largest city and 39 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: biggest economy. So neither options really fill you with confidence. 40 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: Forced were a gun to my head to make a choice, 41 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: I would go with what the government has decided, but 42 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: only because at is such an object and obvious failure. 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: Of course, it would be nice to think we all 44 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: decide that participating in local democracy is a good thing, 45 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: and maybe, just maybe, if we see a council making 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: bigger and better and bolder decisions, we might like to 47 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: back that with an increased turnout once every three years. 48 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 2: But the overarching listen, and I hope this sinson well 49 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: beyond Auckland transport to the many other victims of this 50 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: country who think they know best. If you aren't accountable 51 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: and you run away with yourself, it might just be 52 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: they pull a rug out from under you. 53 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: Who news of the world in ninety seconds. 54 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: Right hihdrama and Korea. As the President gives Marshal Law 55 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: a crack. 56 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: I hereby declare an emergency martial law in order to 57 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: defend the Free Republic of Korea from the threat of 58 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: North Korean communist forces and to eradicate the shameless pro 59 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: North anti state forces that are depriving our people of 60 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: their freedom and happiness. 61 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: Didn't last long. The parliamentarians all turned up and voted 62 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: to lift it. The end of the war. This is Ukraine, 63 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: where once again the NATO boss is what NATO bosses 64 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: say a lot these days, is not interested in peace. 65 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 4: He's pressing on trying to take more territory because he 66 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 4: thinks he can break Ukraine's. 67 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: He's off and ours, but he's wrong. In Trumpville, he 68 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: had justin from Canada over for dinner and he came 69 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: up with a genius idea true. 70 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 5: Deell laughed nervously, but Trump then said, look, if Canada 71 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 5: becomes a state, you could be the Governor of Canada, 72 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 5: but admitted that Prime Minister of Canada is probably a 73 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 5: better title title then a. 74 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 2: Bunch of stuff. In Britain, firstly, the Queen's canceled yet 75 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: more engagements, indicating the original illness was not as uneventful 76 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: as perhaps portrayed. 77 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 6: It obviously become clear that doctors, because she was suffering 78 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 6: from this form of pneumonia, have said, look, it is 79 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 6: probably best that you are not standing around in the cold, 80 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 6: which is why we didn't see her at horse Guards 81 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 6: parade with the King earlier. 82 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: On the Greg Wallace messes up into the face of schedule. 83 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 7: At the BBC, the current series of Master Chef the 84 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 7: Professionals is continuing as planned.

On 109 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: twelve past six. 110 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeart Radio 111 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: powered by News talks Evy. 112 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: Not just Korea. Andrew Davies. Who's he Well, he won 113 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: a confidence vote, but then he quit. This is the 114 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: Conservative leader in the Welsh Parliament, so that it was 115 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: split too close for him nine to seven. One of 116 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: the nine was his vote, so there's only sixteen in 117 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: the Tories in the Welsh Parliament and he's quit. Before 118 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: he quit back in twenty eighteen, he's been the leader 119 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: for most of the last thirteen years. But he's had enough, 120 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: so he's gone. So Korea is a mess, Wales is 121 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: a mess. Fifteen past six now dealing funds management. Greg Smith, 122 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: morning to you more. If you we'll get into this, 123 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: deary in the moment, because that's good news and we're 124 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: all about that meantime, US job openings. What's the seven 125 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: point seven million good or bad in terms of demand? 126 00:05:59,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 9: Very good? 127 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 10: So yeah, the self economic landing looks on I think. 128 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 10: So this is the so called Jolts survey. So seven 129 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 10: point seven four million job openings in October. That was 130 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 10: up from a revised seven point three seven in September, 131 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 10: and yeah, well above estimates of seven and a half million, 132 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 10: So that was pretty good. So look the overall up 133 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 10: to it's pretty good news because we're seeing a few 134 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 10: months of steep declines and there was a big drop 135 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 10: in September. There's plenty of companies cost cutting, but yeah, 136 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 10: we yet to see material signs of big pickup and 137 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 10: job losses laught. So actually the lowest since June quits 138 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 10: you remember the great resignation. Not quite that, but they 139 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 10: are actually at the highest since May. So workers are 140 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 10: more confidently they are believed to find a new job 141 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 10: if they quit their current one. So some power game 142 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 10: back to the employees by looks of things might and 143 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 10: you look at the vacancies per unemployed work and this 144 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 10: is the ratio the FED looks at. That's at one 145 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 10: point one and that actually got to two to one 146 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 10: you know, during the height of the pandemic. But yeah, 147 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 10: it's actually sort of around about pre COVID levels. That's 148 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 10: pretty good. The hiring rate did drop to lowes since June, 149 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 10: but that's consistent with what we saw in the October 150 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 10: payrolls numbers. So we had a couple of severe hurricanes 151 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 10: and we had to strike at Boning, so that should improve. 152 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 10: We've actually got the non fun payrolls numbers due this Friday, 153 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 10: and employment rate that's expected to hold at four point. 154 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 9: One per cent. 155 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 10: It's all pretty relevant to the FED. A couple of 156 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 10: the officials have been speaking in recent days and got 157 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 10: powered due to speak, and it looks like we've got 158 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 10: a pretty good chance of another rate reduction in a 159 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 10: couple of weeks time. 160 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: Okay, mask, where's he it with his paper? He's battling. 161 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: This isn't he he's battling. 162 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 10: So this The latest saga is that a Delaware judge 163 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 10: has denied the reinstatement of his fifty six billion dollar 164 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 10: pay package. Recall, this relates to his remuneration in twenty eighteen. 165 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 10: It was the largest still his largest compensation planned in 166 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 10: the US history for public company executives. So yeah, the 167 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 10: judges has avoided the plan and backed up a previous decision, 168 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 10: and they've also actually awarded three undred and forty five 169 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 10: million legal fees to the other side bringing the suits. 170 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 10: So Maskie said the decisions corrupt. Shareholders should control company votes, 171 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 10: not judges. And he's gone on again about regretting incorporating 172 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 10: in Delaware, and he since moves Tesla's in corporation to Texas, 173 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 10: as he has for SpaceX. So at current prices, the 174 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 10: package that has been denied would be worth over one 175 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 10: hundred billion dollars.

I mean 331 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 13: we would have gone to extraordinary lenks to try and 332 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 13: get a contract, which is about six hundred thousand meters 333 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 13: over the last six years, and we weren't asked to participate, 334 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 13: So you know, those tenants and those homes missed out 335 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 13: on the chance to have you know, New Zealand ground 336 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 13: wall in. 337 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: The in the one we do about that because it's 338 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: one thing to be out price, but it's another thing 339 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: never to have been able to participate when the government 340 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: tells them to, you know, at least have a look 341 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: at it. 342 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 13: Well, it's it's a bloody good question and there's no 343 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 13: point us crying in our milk over it. We're trying 344 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 13: to get on with it. But you know, we're doing 345 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 13: a lot of work with the Minister Mark Petterson, who's 346 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 13: been very supportive. But you know, in this case there's 347 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 13: been a directive. It feels to me like it's just 348 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 13: a rollover of the existing contracts. We've previously been asked 349 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 13: to participate in these and so this time we weren't. 350 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 13: Next time we'll have to. 351 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 2: We'll have to try harder with the lobby, hand on heart. 352 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: If they came to you, could you match nylon or 353 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: would you have to sell them on it's a bit 354 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: more expensive, but. 355 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 13: Well solution died. Nylon and woll are often very comparable 356 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 13: in price. We would go after that, no problem, or 357 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 13: I don't know where they got their numbers from. 358 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: Okay, so you wool is competitive with nylon. If you're 359 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: dealing in large meterridge, absolutely what would that be worth 360 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: your company? Without giving away much, I mean, if someone 361 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 2: comes to you for six hundred thousand meters of carpet, 362 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: that's quite a bit of carpet. It's more than a 363 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: hall runner, isn't it. 364 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's millions of dollars. It would be great for 365 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 13: Obviously the will buy the will farms that we deal with, 366 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 13: it's millions of dollars to them, it's millions of dollars 367 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 13: to us. And let's say I say there's no compromise 368 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 13: on the product. There's no compromise and will when you 369 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 13: put it down in your home. It's a beautiful product 370 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 13: that it performs extraordinarily well and naturally without all the 371 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 13: chemical additives that Sinceta cares exactly. 372 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: Next time I get a minister and I'll ask them 373 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 2: about this, because it doesn't seem right to me. Having 374 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: said all that, how are things generally the market, the 375 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 2: vibe the industry. 376 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 13: Oh, it's getting better. I'm happy to say we're growing good. 377 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: We can't argue with that.

By the way, as part of 381 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 2: Scrutiny Week financi elect Committee yesterday, there is no Rais 382 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: this now is kayeing at Aura. They were sort of 383 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: defending themselves, but Willis was there saying that kaying Or 384 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: cost twelve percent more to build a house, and Simon Muter, 385 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: who's their chairperson, he goes, well, there's a few things 386 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: around that, and you know, we've got to build them 387 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: properly because some of the tenants tend to smack holes 388 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 2: in the wall and stuff like that. So you want 389 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: to put some good fittings in place, and we need 390 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: to maintain them, perhaps more than an average house might 391 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: need to be maintained. However, once he busied himself defending 392 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: all of that, they did say they'd brought in a 393 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 2: target this year to reduce their unit cost by ten percent. 394 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: But you think about it, even if you reduce it 395 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: by ten percent, ten percent of what hundreds of millions 396 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: of dollars, so they need to sharpen their pencil. And 397 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 2: they might have been able to do that with a 398 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: little bit of wall. But next time I get somebody 399 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: who might know something about this, do you reckon se 400 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 2: me and with the transportman doesn't know anything about this. 401 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: He did star jups for us last week.

One of the police guys moved in 508 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 8: front of this woman's vehicle, so they backed. 509 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: Into the thing. 510 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 16: I'm gonna hit him. 511 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 13: Boom. 512 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't mean to. 513 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 8: This was the plan, of course, the only way to 514 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 8: save her life, police said, spray out to make sure 515 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 8: she was fine. 516 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 5: Ran up to that vehicle to make sure that it 517 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 5: was in park and that the driver was okay. 518 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 8: Yeah, she's good.

So she 521 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 2: wasn't quite as calm by the individual, was she really 522 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: when you think about it. By the way, Gavin Newsom, 523 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: he's called a special legislative session. This is in californiaa 524 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: to safeguard California from potential federal overreach. So what they're 525 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 2: doing is creating a new litigation fund of up to 526 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: twenty five million to support California's legal resources in anticipation 527 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: of policy proposals that would harm the state.

Turn Away from seven on. 544 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: My cost Gel Breakfast with Alveda, Retirement, Communities News togs 545 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: dead Be. 546 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: Remind me to talk to Rod about this tomorrow. This 547 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: fury in Britain overnight, they've counted that, I reckon, there 548 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: must be when labor governments like Australia, New Zealand and 549 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: Britain get to power. They've obviously got a singular book 550 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: they look too to how to run the country because 551 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: they've set up sixty seven this is Starma, sixty seven 552 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 2: taxpayer funded reviews in one hundred and fifty days, basically 553 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: a review every second day. Now where does that remind you? Hey? 554 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: What does that remind you of? By the way, Scrutiny 555 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: Week has been under way, I hope you've been following it. 556 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 2: Fascinating week. Nichola Willis was in front of the Finance 557 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: Committee yesterday. She came out with the information that come 558 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: the next budget in May, and I'm very pleas to 559 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 2: hear us we might be getting a new approach to charities. 560 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 2: Because there's nothing wrong with charities of the real charities 561 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 2: in terms of tax treatment. But there are a few 562 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: people that and no names, but there's a few people 563 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: in this country that you think, are you really a charity? Honestly, 564 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: you're honestly a charity. There we come to Air New 565 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 2: Zealand just in time for the Christmas season to piss 566 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: you off. So what they're doing is they're cutting back 567 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 2: on their domestic services yet again. Now under normal circumstances. 568 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 2: What happens is they go, well, we've got no engines 569 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 2: and we've got no planes, and so you go, well, 570 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 2: that's not very good. But nevertheless, this has got nothing 571 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: to do with that this time. It's got to do 572 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: with lack of demand. So under normal circumstances you go, 573 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 2: fair enough, if no one wants to fly, then you know, 574 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 2: why put a plane in the air. But of course 575 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 2: we've got this unfortunate set of circumstances in this country 576 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 2: where we don't have quite enough airlines to bring in 577 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: real competition. So there is that ongoing belief, rightly or wrongly, 578 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: that Air New Zealand might be just dominating that domestic 579 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: mark a wee bit much and a little bit too 580 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: much control. Therefore they can jurymander the prices to suit 581 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: their circumstances and therefore by pulling back in certain markets 582 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 2: and certain services. They say two percent of the schedule. 583 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 2: This is between February and June. So it depends on 584 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 2: where you are and where you're flying and what you're paying. 585 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: But it's it's the old you know, there's a certain 586 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 2: angst anyway about it in New Zealand at the best 587 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 2: of times and those sort of announcements come to Christmas season, 588 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: don't really go down that well do they five minutes 589 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 2: away from seven. 590 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 9: Well, the ins and the ouse. 591 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: It's the biz. With business fiber, take your business productivity 592 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: to the next level. 593 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 2: I am in the business of good news though, because 594 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 2: we've had the good news this morning from the dairy sector. 595 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: That auction result was a nice one this morning. Got 596 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 2: good news later from the tourism sector. That's very good 597 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: news actually, so I'm looking forward to that. But we've 598 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: also got some optimism. According to the prosper Sme Insight report, 599 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 2: it's found this morning fifty one percent of smeth say 600 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: that this season's very important for their business for the year. Well, 601 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: that's hardly a surprised. With forty three percent they expect 602 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 2: the season to be better than last year. There you 603 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: go needs to be. Half of all SMEs only have 604 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: a quarter's worth of expenses covered by cash reserves before 605 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: they're dipping into more debt seventeen percent, so they only 606 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: got a month's worth of cash reserves. Some concerns, what 607 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: have we got holiday period? Biggest issue is staff Thirty 608 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: six percent worried they won't have enough staff to reach demand. 609 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: Seventeen percent are worried about generating the customer demand to 610 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: justify the staff. So that's your egging, your checking and 611 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 2: your checking in your egg, isn't it. I'm going to 612 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: I'm going to employ O'Brian over there, but I need 613 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 2: the customers once I'm paying Brian. But then the customers 614 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 2: come in. But you didn't employ Brian. So what do 615 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: you do? Ay trials and tribulations of being a smeeth 616 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 2: So fifty two percent feel pressured. Now this is interesting. Inside. 617 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 2: Fifty two percent feel pressure to offer sales or discount 618 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: pricing to remain competitive. But we have optimism. Sixty two 619 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 2: percent feel positive about their business and the current health 620 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 2: sixty two percent. 621 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 17: That's good. 622 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: Fifty six percent are feeling good about their business over 623 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 2: the next twelve months.

Don't just buy crap for the sake of 635 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: buying craps sake. And so they closed down their website. 636 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 2: So next Black Friday, I'm closing down the show because 637 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, listen with intent.

The issue, really, Mike, 656 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 17: is that the time that it actually takes to arrange 657 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 17: the cost out and that's the main reason for the 658 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 17: rephasing over three years. In the first year a lot 659 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 17: of the work gets done, the majority of the work actually, 660 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 17: but do you find the savings really mainly fall into 661 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 17: the following year, the twenty five twenty six year, so 662 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 17: it's still the same amount. The aim is still to 663 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 17: get to zero deficit, but this will take three years rather. 664 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 2: Than two two. Are you present this morning with more clarity? 665 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: In other words, you can say with confidence it will 666 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: be done or not. 667 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 17: Yeah, well, you know it's always difficult to say with 668 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 17: absolute confidence. But right at the moment, you know, it 669 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 17: depending if nothing else happens. That's significant, you know, that's unexpected. Yeah, 670 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 17: I think that's very confident that we will get the 671 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 17: deficit down to zero. Yeah, very confident about that. I 672 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 17: guess the main issue for us is that's a temporary 673 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 17: and fixable problem. What we're really putting our attention to 674 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 17: is the real problem, and that is the long waiting 675 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 17: times for patients. Yeah, that's really what we have to fix, of. 676 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: Course, and so the big question is can you do 677 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 2: that with the money that you are allocated once you 678 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: get back to budget. 679 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 17: Yes, we believe we can. You know, we've got a 680 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 17: six point four percent uplift. Unlike most other public organized sessions, 681 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 17: we have that in place for the next two years, 682 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 17: so we've got a three year track. Yeah, it's quite 683 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 17: difficult because there's a lot of change in the organization. 684 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 17: There's a lot of change about the organization's culture and 685 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 17: the way in which it works, which we're working on. 686 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 17: But yeah, within our current resources, there is very significant 687 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 17: opportunity and potential to do a lot more. 688 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 2: How much difficulty are you facing with the public messaging 689 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 2: given there are so many stories out there. You're underfunded, 690 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 2: nurses can't get jobs, the waiting lines are a disaster. 691 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 2: Hospitals or a shambles, nurses are on strike. It just 692 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 2: paints an overall picture of chaos, whether the result not. 693 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 17: I don't think it is chaos, but I think there 694 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 17: is a lot happening, and of course in healthcare there 695 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 17: are and always have been, different vested interests and different messages. 696 00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 17: I think that the key important messages funding hasas and 697 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 17: continues to increase, and on an international comparative basis, we're 698 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 17: in a very good position. There's been a recent article 699 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 17: in the New England General Medicine that actually clearly shows. 700 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: That we're above a number of other countries that we 701 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 2: might be surprised about. 702 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 17: Indeed countries that are wealthier than ours. So I think 703 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 17: the issue for us, and it's not often thought about, 704 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 17: is it's not the funding we get, but it's also 705 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 17: the efficiency and effectiveness with which we allocate that funding 706 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 17: within our organization. And we're doing a lot to change that. 707 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 17: We want to bring more of our resources to be 708 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 17: more proximal to the outcomes that we're actually looking for, 709 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 17: primarily waiting time reduction. This will require productivity, which hasn't 710 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 17: been a focus for the organization. There is more we 711 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 17: can do with the resources we have, so one can do. 712 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 2: That as you well for the Christmas season. Lester Lester Levy, 713 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 2: the Health New Zealand Commissioner with us this morning. I 714 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 2: tend to agree. I was going to put it to them, 715 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 2: but I'm I'm not going to ask Lester why they 716 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: continue to underfund health. There is no deficit, just chronic underfunding. 717 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: It's simply not true. The Prime Minister's right when he 718 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 2: says thirty billion dollars for a country of five million 719 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: people is more than enough. The key, as he said, 720 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 2: is not the amount of money, it's how you spend it. 721 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: Eleven past seven TH's some good news from the tourism sector. 722 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 2: Boy do we need that. In the year to September, 723 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: visitor numbers up seventeen percent. The key here though, is 724 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: the spend spend is up thirty percent, So we brought 725 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,240 Speaker 2: in eleven point seven billion, So that's good. Surely Tourism 726 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 2: holding Stuke executive Grant Websters back whether it's Grant very, 727 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 728 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 18: And good morning to you. 729 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 2: Are you seeing it hi? 730 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 9: Yeah? 731 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 18: Absolutely, In New Zellan you are seeing both those stats 732 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 18: come through really strongly. I think of note that visitor 733 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 18: spend when you adjusted for inflation, clearly it's around the 734 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 18: same as as psited numbers, so around that's sort of 735 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 18: eighty five percent to pre COVID levels. 736 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 2: So we're still not cracking one hundred do you see 737 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 2: us getting back to do we need to get back 738 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: to because every time I talk to a minute that 739 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,439 Speaker 2: they go, oh, don't worry about that, and talk about 740 00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: the quality. It's all about the quality. 741 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 18: Look, we have the ability of the infrastructure, and clearly 742 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 18: when you see that growth in total GDP and that 743 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 18: export earnings to New Zealand, it makes sense for us 744 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 18: to continue to focus on getting back to one hundred 745 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 18: percent and beyond. I mean we can manage it. We 746 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 18: can manage it more effectively than we did pre COVID 747 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 18: as well, so we've got more digital capability, we've got 748 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 18: better companies doing more things. 749 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 2: What do you see as a handbreak? I mean some 750 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 2: would argue capacity, the number of airlines and seats isn't 751 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 2: quite back. Is that it is an image problem? 752 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 13: What is. 753 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 18: I think we're actually still suffering from opening late. I 754 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 18: think that's part of it. Then on top of that, yes, 755 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 18: when you look at that growth rate calendar twenty five, 756 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 18: I think is going to be a bit of a 757 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 18: struggle because we've got that airline capacity issue. We've obviously 758 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 18: got the barriers put up by the government this year 759 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 18: with increasing the OVL and visa costs and so forth. 760 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 18: So we've actually now got to get back up and 761 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 18: say twenty twenty sticks is where we're really going to 762 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 18: get our marke shareback on class. 763 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,479 Speaker 2: Actually you're talking about general economy in that sense, because 764 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 2: the banks are saying exactly the same thing. Next year 765 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 2: is a grind. Twenty six is where the growth comes. 766 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 2: So tourism aligns with the economy if you like. 767 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 18: Oh look, I think yes, But for those different reasons, 768 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 18: we haven't got that their capacity. We've put up these barriers. 769 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 18: So we've got to get back on the world stage. 770 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 18: And you know, there's still some talk around about Tourism 771 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 18: New Zealand having reduced funding, which in my mind's just idiotic. 772 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 18: We we we give Team Zed less per capita and 773 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 18: per GDP than any of our main competitors. We've got 774 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 18: to refocus on growth and pleadingly, the Tourism Minister has 775 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 18: said he's launched a tourism growth roadmap that's going to 776 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 18: come out next year. 777 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 2: Good time to hear it, good good, good, all right, Gruant, 778 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 2: go well, Grant Webster, Tourism holding the sun. See you 779 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 2: oh thirteen minutes past seven past like I heard you 780 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 2: say this morning, they found gas. Megan Wood said there 781 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 2: was no gas to find exactly. Mike, mate, why isn't 782 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 2: it a big story? We found two just the I 783 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 2: will repeat if you weren't on the program before seven o'clock, 784 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 2: We've found a gas amount of gas that adds two 785 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 2: to three percent of everything we need in this country. 786 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 2: Surely that's a big deal, Mike ree in New Zealand downturns, 787 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 2: probably due to their horrendous bloody pricing. I knew you'd 788 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 2: say that, Mike. Do you have any information about South Korea? 789 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 9: Yes? 790 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 13: I do. 791 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 2: President went Nuts declared martial law. Politicians turned up, voted 792 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 2: to bail it. Now there's a whole lot of people 793 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 2: standing outside Parliament milling around. You got to remember it's 794 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 2: the middle of the night. Fourteen past seven. 795 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 796 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: by News Talks at b. 797 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 2: So Mean Brown Transport Minister after seven thirty, Mark and 798 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: Jinny after eight o'clock this morning, seventeen past seven. Now 799 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 2: you would have seen sever rees yesterday, of course, very apologetic, 800 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 2: having been discharged without conviction following a post Cup Day party. 801 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 2: He was initially facing a couple of charges of intentional 802 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,880 Speaker 2: damage taking a card dishonestly without claim. One charge was 803 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 2: dropped in New Zealand Planers Association boss Rob Nichols with 804 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 2: this morning, Good Body Mine. I think it's important to 805 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 2: point out, isn't it. In this case the judge said 806 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: any one would have been treated the same way, so 807 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 2: he didn't get a special deal because of who he is. 808 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 16: Yeah, and look, at some point we've all got to 809 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 16: step back and trust judicial system. But it is interesting 810 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 16: whether it's a rugby player or another person with a 811 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 16: high profile, as they're involved in an incident that ultimately 812 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 16: needs police to intervene. You know, there's an intensity and 813 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 16: scrutiny on the police to get it right. So that 814 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 16: tends to mean that they're definitely hold to account and 815 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 16: put before the courts when they do go before the courts. 816 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 16: Because of the attention, we find the courts are pretty 817 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 16: good about name suppression, to allow people to gather themselves, 818 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 16: get me good advice, take stock of the situation. And 819 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 16: then as the process goes on. There's a very high 820 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 16: threshold put against people with profile and for them to 821 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 16: get a discharge without conviction, they have to demonstrate a 822 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 16: lot to the court. Probably more than a normal person, 823 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 16: but that's part of the package. 824 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 2: Do you argue with these guys that if they ever 825 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 2: end up in the situation he did, that you don't 826 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 2: chase down name suppression in other words, trying to hide 827 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 2: from it. Is there an instruction there or not? 828 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 19: There's no instruction. 829 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 16: I mean, it's very much about the individual person getting 830 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 16: their own legal advice. But by large our approach, to 831 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 16: be perfectly honest is normally have you stuffed up here 832 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 16: or not? Because if you did our expectation as you 833 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 16: own it, and in owning it, yes, you've got to 834 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,959 Speaker 16: get your advice and initial name suppression, which the courts 835 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 16: are pretty good at granting, just because of the media 836 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,720 Speaker 16: scrutiny not just on the person of profile that's involved, 837 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 16: but also on the victim or complainants in these situations. 838 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 16: You know, often when these things come before the courts, 839 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 16: everyone needs a bit of time to gather themselves and 840 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 16: having the whole country, in some cases the world aware 841 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 16: of it doesn't help anyone. So the courts are pretty 842 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 16: good about that side of it. But we're very much 843 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 16: about if you didn't do it, and you're going to defend, 844 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 16: then fair call. But if you did do it, you know, 845 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 16: the way in which you approach it, the way you 846 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 16: own the situation, the way you demonstrate to everyone, including 847 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 16: the victims and complainants, that you have recognized your stuffed 848 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 16: up and you take positive stemps. And if the court 849 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 16: sees that that tends to help. But it doesn't matter 850 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 16: whether you're a personal profile or not. But I'll tell 851 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 16: you what discharge without conviction that you're still all over 852 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 16: the TV, You're all over the media. I don't think 853 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 16: there's a ciston in the country that won't know what's 854 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 16: taking place here and that that brings a level of 855 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 16: accountability on their actions. You know, Sivu's stopped drinking, he's 856 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 16: you know, he's taken a lot of steps and shown 857 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 16: actually really good growth over the last year and a half. 858 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 16: So whilst I have a lot of empathy for the 859 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 16: victims in the situation, it's also actually a good thing 860 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 16: for him in terms of the steps he's taken. And 861 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 16: I guess that's what we want from our judicial system, right. 862 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 2: I think, so, Okay, I appreciate it. Rob Nickeol out 863 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 2: of the Plas Association War on Rugby.

So 886 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 2: from our it worked fine, even though many didn't think 887 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 2: it would file. Two things. Thing number one those benefits sanctions, 888 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 2: the hand ringers argued, were unfair and not nice. Turns out, 889 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 2: virtually no one's hit red. Remember that green, orange red. 890 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 2: All the government ever asked in introducing them was you 891 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 2: do you bet? You are not sanctioned for not having 892 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 2: a job. You are sanctioned for not trying. Virtually everyone 893 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 2: is doing their bit. One percent are on red. Now 894 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 2: those are the ones you can't help. They don't want help, 895 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,240 Speaker 2: they don't want to work, they don't want to contribute. 896 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 2: That's on them. Most interesting thing, by the way, the 897 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,320 Speaker 2: Prime Minister said Monday as they announced their new support 898 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,720 Speaker 2: program for those looking for work, is in many cases 899 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 2: we're down to the nitty gritty. The current rate of 900 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 2: unemployment a bit under five percent, isn't actually that high historically, 901 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,720 Speaker 2: Mostly if you lose your job, you go get another one. 902 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 2: So as moving town reasonable, I mean the answer is yes. 903 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're sixty two spent your whole life 904 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 2: in a small town. I guess maybe not, but I 905 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 2: noted with interest when those mills in the Central North 906 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 2: Island closed, a lot of people instantly said they're off 907 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 2: to Australia. I mean a lot of people generally have 908 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,600 Speaker 2: been off to Australia lately. So moving for lifestyle or 909 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 2: work isn't clearly a major hurdle. So why would we 910 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,840 Speaker 2: think it would be one to find a job locally? 911 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 2: Simple truth as you either want to work or you don't. 912 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 2: You're either driven or you aren't. So some sanctions the 913 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 2: thread of akck in the pants not really the end 914 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 2: of the world that it was made out to be. 915 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 2: Is it second to Papa charging tourists? This was bad news? 916 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 2: Apparently we would put people off Apparently seven hundred and 917 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars in tickets in two months, pretty much 918 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 2: exactly the name of a number of tickets they thought 919 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 2: they would. They're now filling a funding gap by letting 920 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 2: people know, especially internationals, nothing's free. So once again, not 921 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 2: really the end of the world. My guess is the 922 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 2: new entry fee to come into the country that'll be 923 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 2: the same prices went up. End of the world a 924 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 2: price to end of the national parks will be the 925 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 2: same start charging end of the world. The cost of 926 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 2: a visa will be the same. Price went up. Oh, 927 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 2: they won't come. We need to break the mentality that 928 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 2: the government, I, EU and me pay for everything. It 929 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 2: isn't real, but it is a habit. What is real. 930 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 2: There is a few rules and a few charges are 931 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 2: only an impediment if you think they are pasking. Very 932 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 2: very good read if you want to get into it. 933 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,959 Speaker 2: Gregor Paul yesterday on Rugby in General would have gone 934 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 2: there with Rob if I had time. But you know 935 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 2: what he's like. It does not lack revenue, who writes, 936 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 2: but it has a dangerously out of control cost management problem. 937 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 2: So they're caught up in a culture, he argues of 938 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 2: excessive pay. Annual accounts show the number of executives on 939 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 2: the payroll jump from nine to thirteen. Their total remuneration 940 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 2: went from four to six million dollars. Now per person 941 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 2: it's four hundred and forty four thousand dollars up to 942 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 2: four hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars. Yet New Zealand 943 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,879 Speaker 2: Rugby posted a significant financial loss, so you pay them 944 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 2: more to earn less. Now is that how it works 945 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 2: in the real world. No, it doesn't. The total amount 946 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 2: paid to board directors almost doubled increase came mostly from 947 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 2: the New Zealand Rugby Commercial which is NZRC. That's the 948 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 2: separate company set up to manage the game's commercial assets. 949 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 2: So the interesting thing about that they got a couple 950 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,719 Speaker 2: of people who are on the board plus on the 951 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 2: commercial side of the equation. Double dipping. What's that about? 952 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 2: Somebody at Bailey Mackie and Dame Patsy Ready, she hasn't 953 00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 2: clearly gone yet. So anyway, I'm not against paying for 954 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 2: people a lot of dough. I love paying people a 955 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,399 Speaker 2: lot of dough. Pay them more if they're any good. 956 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 2: But hold on, you've got to come to the party 957 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 2: with the goods, don't you. And they're not coming to 958 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 2: the party with the goods. Read the whole thing. It's 959 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,720 Speaker 2: a very very good insight and a very good ring. 960 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 2: Swimming and brown and kicking at to touch? How does 961 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 2: this work? How long will it take? Will it actually 962 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 2: improve anything? 963 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: Demanding the answers from the decision makers, the mic asking 964 00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, your local experts across residential, 965 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,800 Speaker 1: commercial and rural news togsdead. 966 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 2: Beats Mitchel Ginny Anderson after write a Clock Politics Wednesday 967 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 2: at twenty three minutes away from a to Grand All 968 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 2: Day in Auckland is one of the city's more disliked operations. 969 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 2: Auckland Transport got a fair bit of power taken off 970 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 2: them and it will be transferred back to the council. 971 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 2: We need some laws passed to make it all happen, 972 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 2: and that is the job of the Transport. Then it's 973 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 2: the Simming and Brown who is with us?

But 977 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 2: helped me out a little bit here when you went 978 00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 2: to them at and said this is happening one. It 979 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 2: can't have been a surprise, but did did they arc 980 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 2: up a bit? 981 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 20: I think the reality is this is this is a 982 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 20: conversation which has been going on to some time and 983 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 20: they spoke to the CE. He was very tended to 984 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 20: work with us how we implement this make sure it 985 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 20: works well. Our job now is to get the legislation 986 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 20: drafted in the House through Parliament and then implement it 987 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,919 Speaker 20: for Auckland. To make sure that Auckland does have more, 988 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 20: will have democratic accountability over decisions made in the city 989 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 20: which affect their daily lives. 990 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 2: That was the part that I was disappointed. And why 991 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 2: is this so slow? You're going to draw the legislation up, 992 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 2: put it and send it off to select committees taking forever. 993 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 20: Well, that's that is parliamentary process, so that does take time. 994 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 20: But today's about sending very key message around the decisions 995 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,760 Speaker 20: that have been made. We've got a busy legislative agenda 996 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 20: as a government, so going through Parliament next year and 997 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 20: then it'll be up to the new council elected next 998 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 20: in the next year to implement it. 999 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 2: What was the was the weak point that at was 1000 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 2: so useless? Would you have still done it no matter 1001 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 2: how good were or not. 1002 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 20: I think the key thing here is every other region 1003 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,439 Speaker 20: across New Zealand, decisions around who approves the regional land 1004 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 20: transport plan, the road controlling authority, those decisions sit with 1005 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 20: elected members. In Auckland, it does not, So this is 1006 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 20: actually a principal decision to restore democracy to those decisions 1007 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,879 Speaker 20: and allow Aucklanders if they don't like the fact that 1008 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,919 Speaker 20: their local board or their counselors are removing some car 1009 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,959 Speaker 20: parks to put in a cycle way they can vote 1010 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 20: them out. At the moment, they don't have that ability. 1011 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 20: It's Barkeley messages. As Aucklanders aren't happy with the decisions 1012 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 20: that have made. They all know who's responsible and we 1013 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 20: have a hold them to account for those decisions. 1014 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 2: So the disappoints. So I agree with that concept. But 1015 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 2: the disappointing part is what about all the dumpty doos 1016 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 2: on the local board who rightly or wrongly you elect 1017 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 2: idiots in general. And so you've got people who are 1018 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 2: now with tremendous power in their hands, and they may 1019 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 2: or may not be up to it. 1020 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,919 Speaker 20: Well, the problem is these people haven't had power, don't 1021 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 20: just been there to be sort of an advocacy kind 1022 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 20: of body which just go around advocating for things they like. 1023 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 20: Now they're going to have power, and now the local 1024 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 20: people who vote for them will know who to blame 1025 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 20: for decisions in their local community and directly hold them 1026 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 20: to account. And I encourage people to put their names 1027 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 20: forward and I encourage people to make sure they hold 1028 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 20: these people to account. At the moment, they don't have 1029 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 20: that ability in that power in Auckland. We're restoring it 1030 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 20: and putting it in local people's hands. 1031 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 2: Understand that, but how variable will it be and how 1032 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 2: much individual and specific power do they have because a 1033 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 2: local board out west is not a local board down 1034 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 2: south or out east or up north. In Alton, it's 1035 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,799 Speaker 2: a big sittrect Yeah. 1036 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 20: So one of the key things will be there'll be 1037 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 20: some parts of the road controlling authority which will have 1038 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 20: a regional impact. 1039 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 18: So for example, key routes. 1040 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 20: Obviously those decisions need be made at a regional level, 1041 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 20: so that will be done by the duvn'ty body. What 1042 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 20: happened on a local street with some local shops and 1043 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 20: the car parks outside it. Ultimately that's a local decision 1044 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 20: that should be pushed down to the local board. So 1045 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 20: that's actually the principle already set in the Local Government 1046 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 20: Act for Auckland. It just hasn't been implemented. And this 1047 00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 20: is going to formalize that into legislation. 1048 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 2: All right, good to talk to you appreciate it. I 1049 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 2: mean Brown Transport Minister with us this morning, nineteen minutes 1050 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 2: away from eight posty, can we get the calm competent 1051 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,439 Speaker 2: Lester Levy to explain to Chris Hopkins government's rapacious tax 1052 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 2: and spend policies are a very bad idea, Mike, simply refreshing, 1053 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 2: isn't it? Yes, Andy, he is a lot of people 1054 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 2: seem to like Lester leaving Solar zero. I've been doing 1055 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 2: a lot of reading because the first thing I wanted 1056 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 2: to know when Solar zero fell over the other day 1057 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 2: was is it Solar that's the problem or is it 1058 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 2: an individual company that just wasn't doing well? So another word, 1059 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 2: solar is a general concept is fine, And it's taken 1060 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 2: several days to get to the conclusion, but I think 1061 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 2: we might have some answers more shortly. Nineteen two, the. 1062 00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:46,160 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News. 1063 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 2: Talks it be we're at sixteen to nine? Are sixteen 1064 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 2: to eight? Rather great questions? Mike, how is at better? 1065 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:52,880 Speaker 2: Giving decision making? 1066 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 9: Too? 1067 00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 2: Numpties? That is my I mean, there's no elegant, real solution. 1068 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 2: There's no obvious black white right wrong here. You're taking 1069 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,920 Speaker 2: the power off a bunch of idiots and power freaks 1070 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 2: and giving it in some cases, not all, but in 1071 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:13,439 Speaker 2: some cases to incompetence. And that's my great concern, and 1072 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,240 Speaker 2: I challenge you name me three people on your local board. 1073 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,279 Speaker 2: You wouldn't have a clue. Most people don't even vote right. 1074 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 2: Solar zero five hundred and ninety eight unsecured creditors who 1075 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 2: are owed about thirty five million. At this stage, it's 1076 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 2: unknown if there are any funds available to make those payments. 1077 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,280 Speaker 2: So black Rock were into it. They paid one hundred 1078 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 2: and ten million from the founders of the company back 1079 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 2: in mid twenty two. The deal required overseas investment approval. 1080 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,919 Speaker 2: They got it because it was over one hundred million dollars. 1081 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 2: Since the acquisition, black Rock hasn't injected of a further one 1082 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty seven million, so they're in the whole 1083 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 2: the turn of fifty million dollars. Hence they called the 1084 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 2: plant because they've done the numbers and it's not working 1085 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 2: for them. The ministers is where we are involved, are 1086 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 2: the New Zealand Green Fund, the Investment Bank, which is 1087 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 2: at quote unquote arms length from the government, but nevertheless 1088 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 2: it is our money. They've thrown one hundred and fifteen 1089 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 2: million at it. So the chances are from what you've 1090 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 2: just heard me say, I E. They've got nothing left 1091 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 2: when we're going to burn that. So that's unfortunate. My 1092 00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,360 Speaker 2: understanding here's the quote. My understanding is the business model 1093 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 2: they were running required significant funding and then the time 1094 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 2: when funding has been relatively expensive. This is Adrian Or Again, 1095 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,399 Speaker 2: of course it does call the business model into question. 1096 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,840 Speaker 2: So in other words, the business model didn't work. So 1097 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,240 Speaker 2: a lot of questions here. They pulled the plug because 1098 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,280 Speaker 2: it realized solar in New Zealand is a tough, barely 1099 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 2: profitable business. Now this is my real concern. I feel 1100 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 2: sorry for the company and all the people who are 1101 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,480 Speaker 2: owed money, but this is my overarching concern. And dare 1102 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 2: I suggest I could reintroduce the topic of nuclear back 1103 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:49,240 Speaker 2: into the conversation here, because if solar is a quote 1104 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 2: barely profitable business, why the hell are we going down 1105 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 2: that track? Because otherwise it just becomes a charity. So, yes, 1106 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 2: it's renewable, fantastic, But if you can't make any money 1107 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 2: and no one wants to make any money because they 1108 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 2: can't make any money, then how are you going to 1109 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 2: get New Zealand on solar? So this is from a 1110 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 2: guy called John Harmon who runs another company called Lightface Solar. 1111 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,840 Speaker 2: Lightface Solar was twenty percent down on its budget, lowered 1112 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,720 Speaker 2: its prices, laid off ten staff in the last two months. 1113 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,400 Speaker 2: No one in the industry is making money at all. 1114 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:26,319 Speaker 2: So we're chasing a dream ie renewable energy with a 1115 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,879 Speaker 2: model that doesn't pay. You can't make money. No one 1116 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:34,320 Speaker 2: is making money. Some are making less than no money. 1117 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 2: And the government's and the hold to the channel O 1118 00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,480 Speaker 2: fifteen million dollars. Glenn, give me one of my special stinks, 1119 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 2: because I'm in the mood for one of those. Asking 1120 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 2: Hello brings me to Jaguar. So Jaguar did the ads 1121 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 2: the other day and they were out there. There's no 1122 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,120 Speaker 2: question about that. They weren't personally to my taste, but 1123 00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,359 Speaker 2: then they're only ads. So what they need to do 1124 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 2: is reinvent themselves. What they are doing is reinventing themselves. 1125 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 2: And Elon Musk, who's a hot head and an idiot, 1126 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,880 Speaker 2: came out immediately and he gaves, do you sell cars? 1127 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 2: And I thought, oh, yeah, he doesn't get what's happening here. 1128 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,000 Speaker 2: So what's happening here is you launch the campaign, you 1129 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 2: get people talking now right or wrong? Did people talk? 1130 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 2: You bet their talk? Name me the last campaign globally 1131 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 2: for a car or indeed, anything that created the sort 1132 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 2: of noise that Jaguar managed to create the other day, 1133 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:27,400 Speaker 2: and there hasn't been one for. 1134 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 12: A rugg who the buggeraad? 1135 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 2: Yeah it could be, but it's a long time ago, 1136 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 2: Glenn Boomer, right. So then they come up with a 1137 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 2: car as of yesterday, the Type zero zero. So this 1138 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,840 Speaker 2: is where I think we're dealing with potentially a stroke 1139 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 2: of sheer genius, because the car, to my eye, actually, 1140 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,759 Speaker 2: let me give you a real critics answer. My wife said, 1141 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,680 Speaker 2: and I quote, I want the pink one. Now, this 1142 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 2: is not a woman who is in love with cars, 1143 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 2: interested in cars, erroll. But when a woman sits down 1144 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 2: and sees and goes, I want the pink one. And 1145 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 2: she was referring to the car head. By the way, 1146 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 2: you're in the car itself. 1147 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 12: Look look it up. 1148 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry now that was you, not may. I was 1149 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 2: doing it cleanly. Have a look at the car itself. 1150 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 2: It's beautiful and it looks very much like the Rollsworth 1151 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,319 Speaker 2: Specter did in concept form. The picture you look at 1152 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 2: will not be what the car looks like in the 1153 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,839 Speaker 2: real world, for fairly obvious reasons. That's how the car 1154 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: industry works. But you got the ad, you got the car. 1155 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,160 Speaker 2: The car is going to become a reality. It's got 1156 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 2: the hype, it's got the noise, it's done essentially everything. 1157 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,799 Speaker 2: In so far as you heard Richard Hammond say earlier on, 1158 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,840 Speaker 2: he likes what they're doing. He likes the look of 1159 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 2: the car. It might well just be in a couple 1160 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,960 Speaker 2: of years time. They were way brighter than most people 1161 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 2: saw them, which is good. I wish them well. Ten 1162 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:52,400 Speaker 2: minutes away from. 1163 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,840 Speaker 1: A costume breakfasts with the range. 1164 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 2: Rover of the line, Mike, it looks like Lady Penelope's 1165 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 2: car or the Thunderbirds, only right, not the similar eight 1166 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 2: minutes away from it? Are they using artificial intelligence in 1167 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 2: the meat industry? So Alliance has launched this new tech 1168 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 2: for farmers who can see the eating quality of their 1169 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 2: lamb and beef through AI in real time. These are 1170 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,360 Speaker 2: special probes. They analyze fat and lamb and marbling and 1171 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,440 Speaker 2: beef anyway. The Alliance group CEO Willie Bess will this 1172 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 2: will eat morning to you. 1173 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 21: I'm Mike morning, thanks for thanks for having me. 1174 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 2: Not at all a probe already exists. I mean there 1175 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 2: are probes all over the place. What does the AI 1176 00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 2: bit do? 1177 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:32,919 Speaker 21: So what the aim would do us more than link 1178 00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,360 Speaker 21: to genetics and then the predictability of performance of livestock 1179 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 21: unit performance, specifically lamb and beef, and that's where where 1180 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,280 Speaker 21: the algorithms run and it used machine learning to better predict. 1181 00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 21: We have also test and validated the outcomes of that 1182 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:54,720 Speaker 21: level of prediction versus with wet chemistry test. So initially 1183 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 21: it was when we initially launched this, the initial view 1184 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,760 Speaker 21: was how do we ensure that we can manage eating 1185 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 21: experience in a consistent way. So it's done that working 1186 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 21: with ac Research and asked me in Australia. It's been 1187 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 21: a twelve month twelve month project that's been delivered. The 1188 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 21: next bit is how do we provide our farmers with 1189 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:17,239 Speaker 21: information so they can make behind the gate decisions to 1190 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,200 Speaker 21: get better value. First of all, so it wasn't initially 1191 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 21: linked to genetics because the farmers know what genetics and 1192 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 21: they already using and what parts of the farm and 1193 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 21: what their farming systems is. So we've seen significant improvement already. 1194 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 21: But we've also seen really crossbreed lamps outperforming our whole 1195 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,320 Speaker 21: host of other genetic lamps, and that's on farm practice. 1196 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 21: So there's a combination of that, then we've moved more 1197 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,279 Speaker 21: into the AI around how do we provide farmers with 1198 00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 21: a predictable outcome because obviously there's editory genetic transition which 1199 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 21: is roughly around fifty percent as they grow their flocks, 1200 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 21: So how do we predict the performance of that and 1201 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,719 Speaker 21: therefore how does the farmer better budget how does the 1202 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 21: farmer better predict a return based on Because what we 1203 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,800 Speaker 21: do in alliance, which is in a lot of cases 1204 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 21: different to some other processes, we have two key components 1205 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 21: that we look at for in how we reward our farmers. 1206 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 21: The one is rewarding for quality and this is specifically 1207 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 21: the yield performance that we measure. So we measure lean 1208 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 21: meat yield with obviously scanning technology that's on the one axis. 1209 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 21: On the other axises the intramuscular fat that is done 1210 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 21: through the probes, and then for beef we also use 1211 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 21: a camera after twelve hours of chilling to actually validate 1212 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,920 Speaker 21: the information and to provide additional information. So that was 1213 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,320 Speaker 21: the first but so on that we created a sweet 1214 00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 21: spot to say the lands that has got operate within 1215 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 21: these lean meat yield parameters and that operate within this 1216 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 21: intramuscular fat parameter that is the sweet spot that go 1217 00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:00,959 Speaker 21: into our handpicked premium program or our luminar program, which 1218 00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 21: is separate from your normal baseline baseline LAMB products. And 1219 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 21: it's in that that we then track that we track 1220 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,080 Speaker 21: it to the region. We can compare farmers and how 1221 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,840 Speaker 21: they perform relative to their region. 1222 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 13: We can see how they perform relative to the. 1223 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,640 Speaker 21: National averages as well, and that information our farmers are 1224 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 21: Platinum Royal farmers. They can access it through a farmer 1225 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 21: portal and they can see that straight after primary processing 1226 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 21: after them spin killed. 1227 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 2: That's cutting edge. I love it, Willie, Thanks for the insight. 1228 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 2: I appreciate it very much. Willy Visa, who's the Alliance 1229 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 2: Group CEO? Four minutes away from eight skiing? That's a 1230 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 2: good example of good AI, isn't it. 1231 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 9: Mike? 1232 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,440 Speaker 2: The new Jaguar is supposed to be five meters long? 1233 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:42,840 Speaker 2: How and where will you park it? And you see, 1234 00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 2: this is the interesting thing. I was talking to Ryan 1235 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,480 Speaker 2: Bridge about this. Ryan knows just to let you and 1236 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 2: he knows nothing about cars, so he said, what do 1237 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 2: you make of this? And so I had to explain 1238 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 2: all this to him. Do you realize that five meters 1239 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 2: is not actually a big car. A rain drove is 1240 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 2: actually longer. A Rolls Royce is longer. Most big su 1241 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 2: visa longer five meters. They're about five point two sometimes 1242 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,440 Speaker 2: five point three meters long, even five point one meters. 1243 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 2: So it's not a huge car. It's a large car, 1244 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,880 Speaker 2: but it's not a huge car. So in asking where 1245 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,800 Speaker 2: would you park a Jaguar, where do you park a 1246 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 2: range Rover, you park it in the same place because 1247 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 2: a rain rod is actually longer. You see what I'm saying. 1248 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 2: So it looks and that's the interesting thing. I reckon 1249 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 2: people and looking at that picture are going to go, jeez, 1250 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 2: that looks gargantuan because it does look tank like, But 1251 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 2: in reality it won't be nearly as big. It'll be 1252 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,920 Speaker 2: the something like think of a Bentley Continental. Have a 1253 00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 2: look at that that It'll be about that size car 1254 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 2: and there's plenty of those. Mark and Ginny we'll do 1255 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 2: politics Wednesday for us after the news, which is next 1256 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,600 Speaker 2: here a news talk Zippy. 1257 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,720 Speaker 1: Your trusted source for news and fuse the Mic Hosking 1258 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 1: Breakfast with al Vida, Retirement, Communities, Life your Way, News talks, 1259 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,000 Speaker 1: Hea'd be this world, Mam Hey. 1260 00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 22: Roman seven day If as well as a mine. I'd 1261 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,680 Speaker 22: take you a jeans and middlemos. If there's well as mine, 1262 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:05,200 Speaker 22: I take your hand of amusing fun and do something today. 1263 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 2: I'm a big Kendred Lamar fam. I'm not into this 1264 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,800 Speaker 2: sort of music generally, but he's I think, genuinely clever. 1265 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 2: So he's got some West Coast scorches here. I don't 1266 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 2: say West Coast scorches. This is a surprise sixth set. 1267 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 2: We weren't expecting this. Apparently this is lightning in a bottle. 1268 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 2: Jack Kentsonov's there, Lil Wayne snoop snoops everywhere. You're getting 1269 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 2: sick of snoop snoop, but comes too much snoop. 1270 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 12: You can't really get sick of snoop? 1271 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,560 Speaker 2: You reckon? Is he that call? I got sick of 1272 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 2: them in Paris at the Olympics. I thought, come on, 1273 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 2: it's ridiculous. Have you seen the documentary Martha Stuart speaking 1274 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 2: of Snoop? Do you want to see that? I saw 1275 01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:03,760 Speaker 2: the promar got put off it scissors. There got a 1276 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,000 Speaker 2: lot of people and they've got thirteen tracks. No, we 1277 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 2: haven't got twelve tracks and forty four minutes worth of 1278 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,640 Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar it is eight minutes past eight. It is 1279 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,240 Speaker 2: time for politics Wednesday, Marke Mitchell, Ginny Ander, some morning 1280 01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 2: to you, Jenney Scrutiny weak. I think last year came 1281 01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,439 Speaker 2: on this program and spoke glowingly of it. Does year 1282 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:24,959 Speaker 2: two live up to plan? 1283 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:27,720 Speaker 14: I've only had one day yet, so a bit early 1284 01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 14: out the gates. But if we were able to invite 1285 01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 14: ministers to the Justice Committee, so in the opposition we 1286 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 14: wanted to invite Minister of Police Nicole McKees, Firearms Goldsmith Justice, 1287 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 14: we didn't get the opportunity to invite any of those ministers, 1288 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,160 Speaker 14: so it's a bit of a fizzer out the gates already. 1289 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,680 Speaker 2: So I watched some of the financial stuff yesterday. It 1290 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,960 Speaker 2: seemed just a lot of back and forth bitching. Is 1291 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 2: that all that goes on? 1292 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 14: Well, it's important to hold them accountable. If people are 1293 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,120 Speaker 14: saying things that aren't true, then they need to front 1294 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 14: up and explain where they got their numbers from.

Look, mate, you're here in the middle of nowhere, 1422 01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 2: small town, five hundred people, the mills closed down, the 1423 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 2: road one hundred miles is work. You got to go. 1424 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 23: Look, that's a really that's a difficult I know. When 1425 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,280 Speaker 23: I joined the police, I didn't have a choice. So 1426 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,439 Speaker 23: I had to go where they needed me and where 1427 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 23: the work was. 1428 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 9: And so that a lot of that is around personal choice. 1429 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:08,720 Speaker 9: It's a really difficult one part. 1430 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 23: So I think that Look, in terms of the mill, 1431 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 23: I asked the police and said, look, get in and 1432 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,160 Speaker 23: do a recruiting drive at that and can lead because 1433 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,480 Speaker 23: those people are shift workers, are hard workers, they've got 1434 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 23: a great work ethic.

In terms of transport, I mean, I 1459 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,160 Speaker 14: thought the whole point of a supercity was to have 1460 01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:30,120 Speaker 14: coordination right across au Cli Metro. So the riskers that 1461 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 14: you fragment it and don't have a single standard, I. 1462 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,880 Speaker 2: Tend to agree, Mark, can you do us a favor? 1463 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:35,960 Speaker 13: Yeah? 1464 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,879 Speaker 2: Okay, so kaying Aura didn't even look at wall carpet. 1465 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,000 Speaker 2: They're gone with the nylon.

If I didn't have a job, I'd 1498 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 2: go anywhere to feed my family in most would if 1499 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 2: there were no benefits available. I think most people, Dave 1500 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:24,799 Speaker 2: would agree with you. I left school Mike at seventeen, 1501 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,640 Speaker 2: moved from Tarong to Wellington by myself, booked into the 1502 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 2: YWCA Willis Street and got a retail job. I'm female, 1503 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 2: were well done you. I did something similar. I mean 1504 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,080 Speaker 2: when I applied for a job and it started working 1505 01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty two. I was sixteen years old and the 1506 01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,960 Speaker 2: job that was available to me wasn't Wellington. I was 1507 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,719 Speaker 2: in christ You to no point did it even occur 1508 01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 2: to me ever occur to me that I wouldn't move 1509 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 2: to Wellington. It was just where the job was. I 1510 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 2: wanted a job and there it was. Bang, I was off, Mike. 1511 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,880 Speaker 2: Is it incredible that a year after being obliterated in 1512 01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,439 Speaker 2: the election, Labour's vision to re election as more taxes 1513 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:54,720 Speaker 2: when they wasted billions of increased revenue. It's going to 1514 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,640 Speaker 2: be really really interesting in the campaign twenty six if 1515 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 2: the economies going well and the current coalition have got 1516 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,439 Speaker 2: things broadly under control, and the optimism's up a bit, 1517 01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 2: and the big pole where we think the country is 1518 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 2: going generally in the right direction of all those attracking well, 1519 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,679 Speaker 2: and then the opposition comes to the frame going, hey us, 1520 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:17,160 Speaker 2: the Greens and the Maori Party would like to form 1521 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:18,840 Speaker 2: a government. And one of the things we would like 1522 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 2: to do after the election has charge you more by 1523 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 2: way of tax. I'm going to be fascinated to see 1524 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 2: how that goes. And I can tell you I know 1525 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 2: how it's going to go, but it's going to be 1526 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 2: fascinated to watch it. Might move from Gismond to christ 1527 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 2: Church doubled Massalary husband doesn't have to work any more 1528 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,920 Speaker 2: life changing. There you go. It can't go wrong. A 1529 01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,680 Speaker 2: lot of people going to christ jute though, Nick, how 1530 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:38,600 Speaker 2: many people shift countries to work? That was what I 1531 01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 2: was trying to say earlier on. What fascinated me out 1532 01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:43,559 Speaker 2: of this whole conversation this week and all the whining 1533 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,320 Speaker 2: that went on when the announcement was made on Monday, 1534 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,679 Speaker 2: is there seems to be no shortage of people who 1535 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 2: are more than happy to leave the country, which is 1536 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,120 Speaker 2: kind of a separate story in itself because it's depressing, 1537 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:56,960 Speaker 2: But there seems to be no shortage of people have 1538 01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 2: more than happy to leave the country to go to 1539 01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,599 Speaker 2: places like Australia. But all of a sudden, the idea 1540 01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,720 Speaker 2: that you might have to just wander down the road 1541 01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 2: a bit if you want a continued level of government 1542 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 2: supports all too much. Isn't that interesting, Mike. I've moved 1543 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 2: around New Zealand chasing work. It's better to move and 1544 01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,920 Speaker 2: be employed than stay unemployed. Couldn't agree more, Mike. She 1545 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 2: said she listened. She doesn't tell you she likes you. Well, 1546 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,360 Speaker 2: n any of people listen to this program don't like me. 1547 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:20,920 Speaker 12: Yeah, some people say that they're never listening again every 1548 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:21,519 Speaker 12: single day. 1549 01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, the number of people if I had a dollar 1550 01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 2: for every person who said that's it. I'm off I'd 1551 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:28,440 Speaker 2: have a lot of dollars. 1552 01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:30,240 Speaker 12: And then and then do you make another dollar in 1553 01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 12: the next day they say the same thing again. 1554 01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 2: Exactly Mike, we finally get FM Dunedin and now you're 1555 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 2: going on holiday. What a bloody tease. Well, no, don't 1556 01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 2: be like that. I see this as a long term 1557 01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:43,040 Speaker 2: investment because this has been a sustained, long term campaign 1558 01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 2: of mine in Dnedin to get FM into the area. 1559 01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,240 Speaker 2: And so we'll be back next year of the year 1560 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 2: after the year. I mean, this is a this is 1561 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 2: a twenty five to thirty year project of mine, so 1562 01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,519 Speaker 2: will be here for a very very long time. 1563 01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:57,599 Speaker 12: And trust me, you really only want hosking and full 1564 01:12:57,880 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 12: surround sound in small doses. 1565 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 2: Once I think that it's my gift to Dunedin, because 1566 01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,639 Speaker 2: once you get me an FM, even though you love 1567 01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 2: me in am, you'll be thinking, oh my. 1568 01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:12,320 Speaker 12: Lord, it's like having the concentrated dishwash liquid instead of 1569 01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:16,240 Speaker 12: the exactly what it is, the weak stuff. So although 1570 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,080 Speaker 12: the bottle looks smaller, it actually goes further. 1571 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,640 Speaker 2: You're getting more bang for back, aren't you. The unemployment 1572 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,360 Speaker 2: forecast Interestingly enough from S and P Global came out 1573 01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 2: yesterday for this country. And this goes back to the 1574 01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,919 Speaker 2: economy electioneer all that sort of stuff. So US Ratings Agency, 1575 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,920 Speaker 2: this is their Asia Pacific economic outlook. They're thinking five 1576 01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,280 Speaker 2: point three. So glass half full, glass half empty because 1577 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,000 Speaker 2: the headline this is from newsroom and they tend to 1578 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 2: be a bit doer. Unemployment to hit pandemic level highs 1579 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:46,720 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, so they come up with a 1580 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,320 Speaker 2: forecast of five point three. They say, we're going to 1581 01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:51,000 Speaker 2: be one of the worst in the Asia Pacific region, 1582 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 2: which technically is correct. We are the only other country 1583 01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 2: that's right up there in terms of unemployment next year 1584 01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,479 Speaker 2: with US is China, and I don't think anyone wants 1585 01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,000 Speaker 2: to compare themselves to China economically at the moment, Indonesia's 1586 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 2: going to be at fire, but if you go to 1587 01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 2: a place like Singapore, it's one point nine. But anyway, 1588 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 2: here's the point. It wasn't that long ago. In fact, 1589 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:08,680 Speaker 2: it was only a couple of months ago that some 1590 01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:10,040 Speaker 2: of the banks, at least one of the banks was 1591 01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 2: forecasting six six percent as an unemployment rate. Then it 1592 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 2: came back to five point five, and you'll notice the 1593 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 2: other day that it came back from the Reserve Bank 1594 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 2: to five point two. And that's as bad as it gets. Now. 1595 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,160 Speaker 2: Five point two is as bad as it gets. Of 1596 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:25,560 Speaker 2: all the bad things that have happened to the economy, 1597 01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:30,799 Speaker 2: unemployment won't be one of them. The house market didn't 1598 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:33,880 Speaker 2: crash and tens of thousands didn't lose the jobs the 1599 01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 2: way we thought. So that's glass half fall for He 1600 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,480 Speaker 2: was in a couple of moments when we crossed the Tasman. 1601 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 1: Talk with Steve Rice, setting the news agenda and digging 1602 01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:46,679 Speaker 1: into the issues. The mic Hosking breakfast with the range 1603 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:50,280 Speaker 1: Rover villa designed to intrigue and use tog dad. 1604 01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:51,640 Speaker 2: B Here we go, Mike at nineteen and the mid 1605 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,400 Speaker 2: nineties in England, I had a crap job as a 1606 01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,360 Speaker 2: dropped out of school when I was sixteen. I got 1607 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:58,040 Speaker 2: the chance for a good one. But in Germany, no internet, 1608 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,439 Speaker 2: no cell phone, no credit card is there wasn't then. 1609 01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,320 Speaker 2: It was terrifying, but I did it. I then went 1610 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,000 Speaker 2: round the world working. Did okay, if you make excuses, 1611 01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:07,639 Speaker 2: you'll go nowhere. Good text, Mike. My husband was made 1612 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,960 Speaker 2: redundant in twenty fifteen in Australia. So we moved here 1613 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 2: to New Zealand, love, but no plans to go back. Mike, 1614 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:16,320 Speaker 2: you make your own luck, but to many many people 1615 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,080 Speaker 2: think luck is something that's given. Jeff, well done, twenty 1616 01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:20,120 Speaker 2: three minutes away from. 1617 01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 1: That international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1618 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:25,760 Speaker 1: mind for New Zealand business. 1619 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 2: And going to speak fast morning to you mate. 1620 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:28,640 Speaker 19: Yes, it's good to be with. 1621 01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 2: What happens to this group you told us about on 1622 01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,840 Speaker 2: Monday that they said don't do Australia Day And it's 1623 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,559 Speaker 2: a large group. It's two hundred odd pubs around the place, 1624 01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:41,040 Speaker 2: and they would have an hrred apartment. They would have 1625 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,360 Speaker 2: groups of people who sit around a boardroom thinking about 1626 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,679 Speaker 2: these things. What do you reckon? Happens in those meetings 1627 01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 2: and nobody at any point goes this has got trouble 1628 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 2: written all over it. Guys, let's not go there and 1629 01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:54,040 Speaker 2: yet look like it. 1630 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:57,840 Speaker 19: You would think. I mean, I'm writing a column right now, 1631 01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,080 Speaker 19: I haven't finished it yet about exactly who's the marketing 1632 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,719 Speaker 19: genius who sat in that meeting and said this would 1633 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 19: be a good idea if we announced this. I mean, 1634 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,680 Speaker 19: you can do it without even telling anyone you just 1635 01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:12,200 Speaker 19: don't have major celebrations in your hotels if you don't 1636 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 19: want to. But why would you come out and announce it. 1637 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,759 Speaker 19: The company we're talking about is the Australian Venue Company. 1638 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,360 Speaker 19: Ironic that it's got the name of Australia and it 1639 01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,280 Speaker 19: decided to say, oh well, Australia Day, January twenty six, 1640 01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 19: it causes hurt and suffering, we're not going to do 1641 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,840 Speaker 19: anything about it, and the world exploded. I've never seen 1642 01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:34,880 Speaker 19: a reaction quite like it. Internet newspaper online comments site 1643 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,639 Speaker 19: just blew up with people saying, right, here's the name 1644 01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:41,000 Speaker 19: of the pubs. I mean, every newspaper in the country 1645 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:44,040 Speaker 19: might listed the two hundred venues. So if you lived 1646 01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:49,000 Speaker 19: in Melbourne, I mean, it just makes you laugh. There's 1647 01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 19: a pub in Melbourne called the Duke of Wellington, for 1648 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:54,720 Speaker 19: God's sake. There's a hotel in Adelaide called The Colonist 1649 01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,879 Speaker 19: and they're going on about colonization and hurt and suffering, 1650 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,880 Speaker 19: and I mean, somebody in that company has got to 1651 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,200 Speaker 19: be sacked. You would think it's owned by a Hong 1652 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:08,600 Speaker 19: Kong merchant banking outfit, so that might make some explanation 1653 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,280 Speaker 19: as to why they had no idea what they were 1654 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:14,759 Speaker 19: doing and they've now beened. This is delicious. The senior 1655 01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,200 Speaker 19: politician head of the Nationals, David little Proud, says, Okay, 1656 01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,120 Speaker 19: you've made a mistake. You apologize now, so why don't you, 1657 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 19: as a gesture, for go the fifteen percent surcharge that 1658 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 19: you have on every beer cell on Australia Day as 1659 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,000 Speaker 19: a gesture of saying sorry. I mean, they really have 1660 01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:32,799 Speaker 19: buried themselves. 1661 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,679 Speaker 2: It's amazing this housing How do you describe it? Because 1662 01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:37,320 Speaker 2: as far as I know, most people, I was reading 1663 01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,720 Speaker 2: about Ireland yesterday, right, so Ireland. I don't know if 1664 01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,400 Speaker 2: you followed this, but they've had this magnificent windfall from 1665 01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,000 Speaker 2: Apple and all the corporates that have gone to Ireland, 1666 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,120 Speaker 2: so financially they're in clover. They've had an election, the 1667 01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,839 Speaker 2: government gets re elected, but they still have a housing crisis. 1668 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 2: Most of the western world, as far as I can 1669 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 2: work out, has a housing crisis. How bad is yours? 1670 01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:57,000 Speaker 2: And who do they blame? 1671 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,040 Speaker 19: It's dreadful and it's driven by a larger by migration. 1672 01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:04,920 Speaker 19: I mean, we are still bringing six figure numbers of 1673 01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 19: people into the country on a regular basis. And there's 1674 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,040 Speaker 19: nowhere for them to live. And one of the reasons 1675 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,599 Speaker 19: is that all of the tradesmen tradespeople have been sucked 1676 01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,840 Speaker 19: into these big build projects by people like Victorian governments 1677 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:22,600 Speaker 19: who are building massively expensive underground tunnels for trains that 1678 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 19: might never be finished, new road tunnels. So all of 1679 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:31,519 Speaker 19: the tradees are working on government projects guaranteed incomes, got 1680 01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,839 Speaker 19: a job for the next five years on massive salaries, 1681 01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 19: so no one's around to build houses, and so we've 1682 01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,759 Speaker 19: got this massive housing crisis and mid Melbourne is currently 1683 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,360 Speaker 19: a city of five million that's going to end up 1684 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,240 Speaker 19: being eight million by twenty thirty, and there's nowhere for 1685 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,439 Speaker 19: anybody to live. Master builders have run a pole overnight 1686 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:50,400 Speaker 19: of sixteen hundred people, and sixty five percent of those 1687 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:54,240 Speaker 19: people hold blame Canberra for the housing crisis. They're the 1688 01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:57,680 Speaker 19: ones that they say are causing the problem. But most disturbingly, 1689 01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,439 Speaker 19: one in three say that they've had to give up 1690 01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 19: medical treatment, food on the table, education costs to actually 1691 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 19: pay their rent or their mortgage. So we've got this 1692 01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:11,200 Speaker 19: double problem. High high interest rates. As you know, we're 1693 01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,040 Speaker 19: still haven't had an interest rate cut, and people can't 1694 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 19: find anywhere to rent because there's just too many people 1695 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,320 Speaker 19: in the country. It's a mess. 1696 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 2: Funny you should say that. Was reading a piece yesterday 1697 01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 2: about the Australian Reserve Bank and they still haven't cut 1698 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,839 Speaker 2: They're thinking maybe next year now and there's growing concern 1699 01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:29,360 Speaker 2: correctly that this is wrong, that they might actually be 1700 01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 2: reading this wrong and when they get there, they'll have 1701 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,320 Speaker 2: got there too late. Is that fair or not very fair? 1702 01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 19: And I think you did it right and not you. 1703 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:40,720 Speaker 19: I know you're in charge of a lot of things. 1704 01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,519 Speaker 19: You're not charge to New Zealand economy, but your country 1705 01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 19: did the right thing. You plunged into what appeared to 1706 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,800 Speaker 19: be a recession, took the pain, and then came out 1707 01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,160 Speaker 19: and started to drop interest rates. I mean, if I 1708 01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,880 Speaker 19: got that right now, Yes, all the economic experts in 1709 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,599 Speaker 19: this country, so New Zealand properly, we've done it badly 1710 01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,040 Speaker 19: and the Reserve banking is under huge pressure. 1711 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 2: Now correct me if I'm wrong. But I thought I 1712 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:05,920 Speaker 2: heard this correctly the other day. So the woman's in prison, 1713 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,400 Speaker 2: she wants to get pregnant with IVF and the state's 1714 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:10,960 Speaker 2: going to pay for that. Is that how it was 1715 01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:11,759 Speaker 2: going to work? 1716 01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 19: Correct? She's a charmer. Alicia Schiller stabbed to death a 1717 01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:21,760 Speaker 19: mother of three over an argument about fifty dollars. She's 1718 01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:24,719 Speaker 19: in jail for a lengthy period of time for murder, 1719 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,839 Speaker 19: and she decides, oh, well, I'd like to have a baby. 1720 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,520 Speaker 19: The only way to do it is to have IVF. 1721 01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:34,640 Speaker 19: And so she goes to the IVF and to the 1722 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 19: government and they say, yeah, no worries, we'll let you 1723 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,960 Speaker 19: come out of charge. You can have the IVF treatment. 1724 01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:43,800 Speaker 19: And it's caused outrage from the survivors. The woman she 1725 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,040 Speaker 19: stabbed to death had three children. I mean, they're going, 1726 01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 19: we'll hang on a minute. You kill my mother. But 1727 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,840 Speaker 19: now the government and the taxpayer is going to pay 1728 01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,759 Speaker 19: for you to go and have a baby anyway, Thank goodness, 1729 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,400 Speaker 19: overnight she's changed her mind. There is one caveat on 1730 01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,960 Speaker 19: that thought. The government is saying, oh, well, if you 1731 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:00,040 Speaker 19: do really want to do. 1732 01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,080 Speaker 16: It, come back to us at a later date and 1733 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:02,720 Speaker 16: we'll do it for you. 1734 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 9: Unreal. 1735 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,400 Speaker 2: Hey, listen, I'm off for Christmas. So you had a 1736 01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:10,720 Speaker 2: lovely break and a holiday December fourth, Well, I'm not 1737 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,840 Speaker 2: leaving today. I've got the rest. I've got the rest 1738 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 2: of the week to go. But but it's just because 1739 01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,479 Speaker 2: I knew you do this when you were in Italy, 1740 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,759 Speaker 2: and you remember in Greece. You know, Italy and Greece, 1741 01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:25,519 Speaker 2: there were two separate holidays. Do you remember when you 1742 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:27,880 Speaker 2: were in those place? When you were there, I was working, 1743 01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:31,480 Speaker 2: I was toiling, and I'm, you know, now exhausted. 1744 01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,000 Speaker 19: I think there'd be people around you who would suggest 1745 01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:39,840 Speaker 19: toiling maybe an exaggeration, but it's been another challenging year, 1746 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,840 Speaker 19: very interesting, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. 1747 01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 2: Thank you, mate, and listen, do enjoy your what was 1748 01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:50,080 Speaker 2: it cross?

Are you sure you're spelling Yers correctly? 1798 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 2: Not searching for yarbis Mikey Sherman jokes. They didn't correct 1799 01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:04,240 Speaker 2: that we were talking about that off here. They didn't 1800 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,280 Speaker 2: correct that last night, and they probably should have. I 1801 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,439 Speaker 2: assume they're too embarrassed. But what they did was lead 1802 01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,120 Speaker 2: to you to believe that there were no truck driving 1803 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:15,800 Speaker 2: jobs in Hawk's Bay when there are. And that was 1804 01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:17,439 Speaker 2: on them, not on the fact that there are a 1805 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,679 Speaker 2: lack of truck driving jobs and Hawks Bay two hundred 1806 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,760 Speaker 2: and one results Glenn for Yaris cross on trade me. 1807 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,240 Speaker 2: There are seventy eight second and years crosses in Auckland alone. 1808 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,880 Speaker 2: Plenty out there for you, Glenn. China just quickly out 1809 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,479 Speaker 2: of Australia, China this morning is announced they'd lifted the 1810 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,160 Speaker 2: last of the tariff. So the scott Morrison, let's have 1811 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,800 Speaker 2: a look at where COVID came from. Oh do you okay, well, 1812 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 2: we'll slap tariffs on you for that. That's year's worth 1813 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,680 Speaker 2: of tariff's thirteen billion dollars worth of business. Anyway, the 1814 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,960 Speaker 2: last of those tariffs have been lifted this morning. It's 1815 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,400 Speaker 2: red meat and lobster. The lobster is going to be 1816 01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:49,280 Speaker 2: back by the end of the year, so that's encouraging. Then, 1817 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,280 Speaker 2: of concern this Mosaic thing, which we should be interested in, 1818 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 2: basically because Mosaic have hundreds of stores, seven hundred of them, 1819 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,080 Speaker 2: some of which are in New Zealand. They do the katies, 1820 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 2: non dmailers, et cetera, as we've talked about of times before. Anyway, 1821 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:03,960 Speaker 2: turns out that they got debts of at least two 1822 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars and highly unusual for a 1823 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,759 Speaker 2: publicly listed company not to pay for insurance for directors. 1824 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 2: Looks like the directors may not have any insurance, so 1825 01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,280 Speaker 2: that's a bit ugly. They've got the unenviable task to 1826 01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:20,679 Speaker 2: KPMG of trying to manage the retailer's furious supply network 1827 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,880 Speaker 2: because Mosaics suppliers are being asked to continue to supply 1828 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:26,799 Speaker 2: the retailer because they're still trading while you know, in liquidation, 1829 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:32,200 Speaker 2: still supply them with clothes and footwear, even though there 1830 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:36,280 Speaker 2: are owed tens of millions of dollars. So before Mosaic 1831 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:40,200 Speaker 2: were put into an administration management, we're asking suppliers in 1832 01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:43,639 Speaker 2: Bangladesh and China and India and Australia to accept contracts 1833 01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:48,439 Speaker 2: which deferred payments extending in some instances to over three years, 1834 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,840 Speaker 2: and to accept a third or half of what they 1835 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,680 Speaker 2: were owed. So you owe me ten thousand dollars, I 1836 01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 2: could probably give you five while I'm paying you the five. 1837 01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,760 Speaker 2: Can you keep giving me? Shure and give them to me? 1838 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,080 Speaker 2: And you may or may not see the money. It's 1839 01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:08,559 Speaker 2: just are you serious anyway? I guess we wish them well. 1840 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:09,719 Speaker 2: Nine Away from nine. 1841 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:15,679 Speaker 1: All dumb, Mike Costing, Breakfast with a Vita, retirement, Communities, News, 1842 01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:16,400 Speaker 1: togs Head vs. 1843 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,920 Speaker 2: All the medium businesses the lifeblood of the country, of course, 1844 01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:20,719 Speaker 2: But anyone in the same boat as you will agree 1845 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,960 Speaker 2: that the last little while has been pretty tough. So 1846 01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:25,400 Speaker 2: maybe you've held off putting investment into the old business, 1847 01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:28,160 Speaker 2: or you know, just focused on getting through basically, well, 1848 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,000 Speaker 2: maybe it's time to give yourself a break and your 1849 01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 2: business a bit of a boost with taxi now. Taxi 1850 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,720 Speaker 2: is the funding solution that lets you use your provisional 1851 01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,920 Speaker 2: tax payments to secure funding for your business. So built 1852 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:42,080 Speaker 2: by accountants and tax special is super flexible and significantly 1853 01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,519 Speaker 2: more affordable to when it comes to a loan from 1854 01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:47,040 Speaker 2: a bank. In fact, taxi funding is about half the 1855 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 2: cost of a typical big bank overdraft and at just 1856 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,559 Speaker 2: five point nine percent per annum, are you likely going 1857 01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:53,280 Speaker 2: to be saving a whack on the old business loans. 1858 01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,920 Speaker 2: So there's no personal guarantees needed, doesn't impact other leaning arrangements, 1859 01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:58,439 Speaker 2: means you can get the funding you need to make 1860 01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,760 Speaker 2: improvements to your business in the year ahead. So maybe 1861 01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:02,920 Speaker 2: you'll even be able to relax over your summer break 1862 01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:04,960 Speaker 2: knowing that you've got a source of business funding available. 1863 01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,599 Speaker 2: So for business purposes only teas and season fees apply. 1864 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,800 Speaker 2: Lending criteria applies, of course, but pay your provisional via 1865 01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:14,680 Speaker 2: taxi before jan fifteen at go Taxi dot co dot Nz. 1866 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,080 Speaker 2: You got to go taxi dot co dot en z 1867 01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:22,680 Speaker 2: pasking I know that slipknot are coming.

Also, it's being confirmed 1881 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,759 Speaker 2: that Roger Goodle, who's the ogadill, who's the NFL commission 1882 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,400 Speaker 2: to amit with the command designers, there's the Washington commanders 1883 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:14,040 Speaker 2: of the team and the lawmakers to make some changes. 1884 01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 2: They're not bringing back the Ridskins. They're not going to 1885 01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 2: be called the Washington Redskins, because that apparently is racist. 1886 01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,960 Speaker 2: But the logo of the Indian head will almost certainly 1887 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,520 Speaker 2: be coming back. This is Steve Daines. 1888 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 15: This is honoring a Blackfeet chief who was born in Montana. 1889 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:34,200 Speaker 15: He's highly esteemed the Blackfeet Tribe of Montana. They're current chairman, 1890 01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:36,919 Speaker 15: and the tribal council signed a letter in strong support 1891 01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:41,240 Speaker 15: to bring the logo back. It honors Indian country. So 1892 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,760 Speaker 15: we've had good discussions with the NFL and with the commanders. 1893 01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 15: There's good faith and negotiations going forward. It's going to 1894 01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 15: allow this logo to be used again. Perhaps revenue is 1895 01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 15: going to a foundation that could help Native Americans and 1896 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:57,679 Speaker 15: sports and so forth. We're making good progress and based 1897 01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,320 Speaker 15: on the good faith negotiations, I made this support this 1898 01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:02,800 Speaker 15: bill yesterday in the committee. 1899 01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 2: It's a fantastic logo if you've never seen it, and 1900 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 2: it's certainly better than the doub that they have on 1901 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,000 Speaker 2: the side of their heads at the moment. And they're 1902 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,560 Speaker 2: a very good team at the moment. They're one of 1903 01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:15,240 Speaker 2: the great comeback stories of the NFL season of twenty 1904 01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,640 Speaker 2: twenty four.
