1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Quick rep of the luxe and sojourn into Vietnam deals

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: have been signed. The dollars may well flow. Jason wolves

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: as whether it's Jason Morning, good morning, Mike the Tangibles.

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: What have we got out of it?

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: Well, you'd have to look at this and say the

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: biggest thing, and I know you're going to laugh, and

7
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: it sounds pathetic, but it's a comprehensive strategic partnership with

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: the Vietnamese government. Now, it does sound like something that

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: just Sinda Ardern has thrown together. You just slap comprehensive

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: at the beginning of it, and hey, presto, you've got

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: yourself a press release. But this one is actually quite significant.

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Vietnam's structure in terms of its government is very inextricably

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: linked with its business side of things. So to get

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: anything done on the business side, you actually have to

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: get things done on the political side. So this puts

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: us within There's only ten other countries that have this

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: specific agreement. And I've been talking to a few people

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: in the business delegation here and they actually are saying

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: it is going to help drive business and help get

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: Kiwi businesses into the market, into the Vietnamese market. Apart

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: from that, you know, it was raining MOUs yesterday and

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: the day before as well. So there are quite a

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: few of those in terms of you know, aut and

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: Vietnam University collaborating on computer science and AI and a

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: few other ones like that, but I would say that

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 2: comprehensive strategic agreement is the biggest one.

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Fantastic. A lot of people who have been texting me

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: sort of laughing at Vietnam, and I think that's unfair

29
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: because Vietnam is a major growth economy and they've done

30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: some Is that obvious when you wander around the place. Oh?

31
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean I've been to Vietnam with Ardern. I'm

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: now here with Christopher Luxan. It's only been two years,

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: and you can actually see the growth. I mean, whether

34
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: it's in Hanoi or Ho Chi Min City, every time

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: you come here, there is just a palpable sense of growth.

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they've been growing at at least five percent

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: year on year for the last what was it ten

38
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: fifteen years. They've got one hundred million people here. Because

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: of this sort of communist capitalist structure, there is opportunity

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: for growth. And listen, they like Kiwi products, they love

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: the Kiwi fruit. They love the New Zealand beef and lamb,

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: So if we can get more of that into the market,

43
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: it's it's a win win, and I think it's absolutely

44
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: something that governments should be targeting.

45
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Right now, I got a pop quiz for you, Jason,

46
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: you're ready for a pop quiz?

47
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: Oh, it's one in the morning over here, mate, not

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: really blistrate any So.

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm going through the MP's expenses at the moment, and

50
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: I've found one. I'm not going to name names at

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: this early stage, but I found a magnum of wine.

52
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: But now answer me this question. Can you, as an

53
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: MP legitimately claim laundry on the taxpayer.

54
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: If it costs over five hundred dollars? And I think

55
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: you can. That's if it puts it into the expenses.

56
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're overseas and you've got a suit

57
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: that you need to clean for the next day, you

58
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: can put that on your credit card. I would say,

59
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 2: you've got it to declare it. It's got to be

60
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: over five hundred.

61
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: Dollars because I've got to. I've got to. I've got

62
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: a cabinet minister who's running hundreds and hundreds of dollars

63
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: of laundry through So I'm just trying to work out

64
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: this is not a look, I'm just having a fun

65
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: Friday thing, but it seems like he's like he's doing

66
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of laundry.

67
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: If it is, if it's a trade minister or foreign minister,

68
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: I would say maybe if they're overseas they need it's not.

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: Well, it's a domestic minister and he's in charge of portfolios.

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: He's in charging me, So listen to this. What am

71
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: I doing? I'm hammering? What am I hammering? Building? Building?

00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: Is it?

75
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Bishop Bishop? Oh, he's Wellington based as well, so he

76
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: has a he's close enough. Interesting, Well, we'll look. We'll

00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,440
