It's the video of the 18 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 2: PM touring the devastation on the East Coast last week 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: and as he's walking to jump back onto a Defense 20 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: Force helicopter, he stops to talk to a volunteer firefighter 21 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: who's wearing the old high visit with the word fire 22 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: written on the back.

Now, I saw that on Friday, A smirk, debuzz. 28 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: That's a bit funny, and I shut it down and 29 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: then I got on with my life. Fins, though fire 30 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: an emergency, do not think it's funny at all. They've 31 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: completely overreacted to it, and after questions from the Herald, 32 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 2: they've decided to launch an investigation into this firefighter. Now, 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: if Finns is open to taking some feedback, I would 34 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: urge them to drop the investigation here. If there is 35 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: a bad call, the really bad call isn't the firefighter 36 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: doing something silly in front of her mates who were filming. 37 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: It was the person who put that online, which was 38 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: the properly unwise thing to do in this modern age. 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: And it doesn't seem to be the same person, by 40 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: the way, given the TikTok account is run by a 41 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: man and the firefighter as a woman. But even if 42 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: they were the same person, it's just really not a 43 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: big deal, is it. Politicians should expect and do expect 44 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: this kind of reaction if they go around doing their 45 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: political shits mooing, and if people have a laugh about 46 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: the PM doing his schmoozing, who cares. It's not threatening 47 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: or intimidatary, it's just mocking. We have a shortage of 48 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: volunteer firefighters in this country. We shouldn't be lifting the 49 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: expectations of volunteers to the same level as what we 50 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: expect from professional so that the volunteers are dissuaded from 51 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: giving us their time, which we frankly should be grateful for. 52 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: And there but for the grace of God, etc. Right, 53 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: because we all do stupid things, we just hope that 54 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: people around us don't put it on TikTok. I don't 55 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 2: want to live in a world where we get investigated 56 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: over something as silly as this. Hopefully our friends drops 57 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: this investigation because surely, surely, to God it has more 58 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: important things to do. 59 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: Heather Dopsilu. 60 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: Nine two nine two is the text number.

It's actually brought in seven million dollars and 178 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: we're obviously talking in US dollars here, which I know 179 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: doesn't sound like a lot. When we talk, I mean, 180 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: because we talk about you know, opening weekends for movies 181 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: and stuff, and it's like hundreds of millions of dollars 182 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: or tens of millions, and so seven doesn't sound like 183 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: a lot, but that actually is a lot for a documentary. 184 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: It makes it the best opening weekend for a documentary 185 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: outside of concert films in fourteen years. As you would expect, 186 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: the audience has ticked in a certain direction, so overwhelmingly 187 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: fifty five and older, that's seventy two percent of the 188 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: ticket buyers, overwhelmingly female seventy two percent of the ticket buyers, 189 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: and overwhelmingly white seventy five percent of ticket buyers. In 190 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: the States, the movie played best in the South, with 191 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: the top states being Florida and Texas, which is basically 192 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: what everybody expected. And by the way, incidentally and weirdly, 193 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: there is a distributor called film Infinity, which operates in 194 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 2: South Africa, which has said it's not going to release 195 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: the film at all just before debut, just completely changed. 196 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: You can't get it, you can't. It's it's not in 197 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: the cinema houses. Not that anybody's all that stressed out 198 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: about it, but it's not in the cinema houses and 199 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: the movie houses in South Africa because film Ffinity said 200 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: nap and we don't know why. Sixteen past four. 201 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duper see Allan Drive Full Show podcast 202 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talk zeb. 203 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: The Firefighter So she was representing fins by the fact 204 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: that she was wearing her high vers when she mocked 205 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: the Prime minister. What an embarrassment should be down the road. 206 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: Absolute lack of professionalism, Thanks Joe Joe. That is exactly 207 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 2: my point. She is a volunteer firefighter, not a professional firefighter, 208 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: so you can't hold her to standards of professionalism because 209 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: she's a volunteer. Nineteen past four. 210 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: Sport with generate celebrating great performances in sport and key 211 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: we save her. 212 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: Against Jason Pine Sports Talk hoosters of me right now, 213 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: high piney Halloa. How good could Sam Ruth be? 214 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 9: Amazing? I love listening to his granddad. How cool that was? 215 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 10: Couse? 216 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: And this kid's not going to get a big ada. 217 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 9: I don't think so. No, he seems to be from 218 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 9: very good stock as granddad his dad been. The times 219 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 9: I've chatted to him and heard others speak with him, 220 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 9: he seems very level headed. I saw, and you would 221 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 9: have seen Sam Ruth turned up to be a guide 222 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 9: for a vision and paired runner a couple of weeks 223 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 9: ago at a at an athletics meet. He didn't want 224 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 9: to advertise, turned up and helped out. Look, he of 225 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 9: course will be in the glare of the spotlight. You 226 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 9: know a year ago, if you'd said Sam Ruth, no 227 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 9: one knows who you're talking about. Now he's hot property. 228 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 9: So if he can keep his head and keep improving 229 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 9: what he's doing at sixteen, Heather, I mean, middle distance 230 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 9: runers are supposed to reach their peak in their mid 231 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 9: to late twenties, is that right. It's astonishing what he's doing. 232 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 9: So I guess the other you know, red flag potentially 233 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 9: might be burnout. Might it all be happening a bit 234 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 9: quickly for him? But man, what he's doing at the 235 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 9: moment is turning heads everywhere. And look, he's got to 236 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 9: go to the con Games this year. It just seems 237 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 9: so obvious to me, that is, if he wants to, 238 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 9: if that's part of the plan. We'll hopefully get some 239 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 9: more more sort of clarity on that in the next 240 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 9: couple of days or so. 241 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: Did I read somewhere though that the whoever our committee 242 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: is that that is in charge of the con Games 243 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 2: is the Olympic Committee, isn't it? Yeah, guys, yeah, insid. 244 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: Did I read somewhere that they may have to re 245 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: look at what they're doing because of like they had 246 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: not factor at a minute at all. 247 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 9: Well, I think what I think Athletics New Zealand also 248 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 9: have fact to do that, because, I mean, the sports 249 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 9: themselves say here's the people we're recommending. I think the 250 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 9: NZOC for the most part just rubber stamp that and say, yep, 251 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 9: we trust you. I think Athletics didn't didn't foresee what 252 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 9: Sam Ruth has done, say a year ago when they 253 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 9: started planning. He's on the long list as I understand it. 254 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 9: There's eighteen spots up for grabs. Heather. You can't tell 255 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 9: me there are eighteen more worthy athletes ahead of him. 256 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: He's on the short list now. Okay, So Auckland FC. 257 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 2: I had a look at their stats and they might 258 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: be in a bit of a rush. Might didn't they? 259 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 9: Okay, here's January lost draw win, lost draw loss. It's 260 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 9: one win in six by my maths. Heather, Look, I 261 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 9: don't want to luxuriate in Auckland FC's a little slump. No, 262 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 9: I'm not at all. I'm not at all like Look, 263 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 9: I've got no firm footing being from the capitol. But look, 264 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 9: it's adversity that they haven't had to face in their life. 265 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 9: They had an amazing first season and for the first 266 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 9: part of this season they were carrying on the same way. Look, 267 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 9: it's not catastrophic. You'd rather have a slump in January 268 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 9: than in April May when the silver Weeds handed out. 269 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 9: But yeah, but are thinking to do for the powers 270 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 9: that beat auklandestion? 271 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: I mean having said that, though when you actually look 272 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: at the table they are still third. 273 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: Oh totally. 274 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 9: Look it's such a tight table and we shouldn't get 275 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 9: carried away. Look, I think we're those of us outside 276 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 9: of Auckland, if we are that were inclined to clutching 277 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 9: its straws, are but here to try and find something 278 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 9: going wrong. Look, you're right here that they might well 279 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 9: beat Sydney you FC on the weekend and go back 280 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 9: top who knows. So Look, yeah, it's it's just a 281 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 9: really interesting little challenge for the management team and for 282 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 9: the players, who, as I say, have had very little 283 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 9: in the way of adversity in the short life of 284 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 9: the club. 285 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: Piney always good to talk to you.

Okay, here are the rule changes for 317 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: the Super Rugby competition it's about to get underway. It 318 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: will no longer be mandatory for the ref to issue 319 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: a yellow or red card to work player on the 320 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: defending team when they're awarding a penalty try. It's the 321 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: discretion of the ref Now. Accidental offsides and teams delaying 322 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: playing the ball away from a ruck will result in 323 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 2: free kicks rather than scrums, which you'd have to say 324 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: as a good move just to speed the thing up 325 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: after the ref has called use it at the Ruckno 326 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: additional players from the team in possession may join the ruck. 327 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: Teams will be permitted to pass the ball back into 328 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: their half before kicking of fifty twenty two, and players 329 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 2: will be allowed to take quick taps within one meter 330 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: either side of the mark or anywhere behind the mark 331 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: if they're within that two meter channel running parallel to 332 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: the touch lines. Blah blah blah. The thing that I 333 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: was most excited about was the TMO and the limiting 334 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 2: of the tmo's intervention. The TMO will not be able 335 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: to intervene unprompted if the ref has overlooked an act 336 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: of serious foul play which is a yellow card or above, 337 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: or a clear and obvious infringement leading to a try. 338 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: I read that first a bunch of reasons why I'm 339 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: not excited about it anymore. Number one, I read it 340 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: and thought, oh, they can't get involved unless they're asked too, 341 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: And then of course read further and it says clear 342 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: and obvious and ringement, which is basically everything, so they 343 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: can still be involved. Number two, this is not new. 344 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: They've been running this as Super rugby anyway for the 345 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: past few years, which actually is incidentally why Super rugby 346 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: is a bit better than Test rugby, even though I 347 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: wouldn't know because don't watch it. Unfortunately. Number three. Why 348 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 2: I'm not excited is it's still after all of these years, 349 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: has not filtered through to test rugby. They still refuse 350 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: to do it, which means that, yep, do you know what? 351 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: We do have a hope because Robbo is now the 352 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: chief rugby guy at World Rugby, so maybe he can 353 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: make World Rugby do it. And it's not a flimsy hope. 354 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: Here we go hoping for it. 355 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: News is next, hard questions, strong opinion.

That has not 411 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 14: happened at this stage, but as we speak right now, 412 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 14: both National MPs and Liberal MPs in Canberra are trying 413 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 14: to thrash out some sort of coalition agreement once again. 414 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 14: Darren Chester, who used to be a cabinet minister in 415 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 14: the former coalition government, he has put forward a motion 416 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 14: to try and reunify the opposition and look ultimately, Susan 417 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 14: Lee's talking tough, saying that by Friday, if they don't 418 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 14: kiss and make up, then she will appoint ministers exclame 419 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 14: elusively from the Liberal Party. And there's a fair few 420 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 14: Nationals who'd be upset with that, Heather, because not only 421 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 14: would they not have a shadow ministry, the pay doesn't 422 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 14: go with that as well. So they'll be sitting there 423 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 14: on those back benches for a few years and a 424 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 14: few less dollars than they had an anticipation. 425 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 2: Okay, So would you say odds on they will reunify, 426 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 2: Absolutely they will. 427 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 14: They need to reunify. There's not enough talent in either 428 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 14: party at the moment to go it alone and try 429 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 14: and hold the government to accounts. But you know after 430 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 14: the summer that the Prime minister endured he is completely 431 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 14: nutterly off the hook because the opposition is just tearing 432 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 14: itself apart. 433 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's quite wild that they've taken the attention away 434 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 2: from him. Listen, what happened to this woman in Japan? 435 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 14: Well, that's what we don't know exactly yet, but she 436 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 14: was over there on a ski trip with her family 437 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 14: and it now may appear as though, which sounds absolutely awful, 438 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 14: she had a heart attack and she died while on 439 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 14: a chairlift. The initial reports indicated that she had died 440 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 14: in an accident at that ski resort there in Japan. 441 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 14: Twenty two year old woman who is an Australian was 442 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 14: left hanging in midair trying to get off that chair 443 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 14: lift when a buckle on her outfit caught onto the chair. 444 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 14: But to believe she made had a heart attack. So 445 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 14: that's a harrowing situation for her family. The Australian Department 446 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 14: of Foreign Affairs is involved trying to provide some assistance 447 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 14: to the family of that woman who died there on 448 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 14: the ski fields in Japan. 449 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: Okay, what's the spirit tax going to rise by like 450 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 2: over one hundred bucks a liter a year? 451 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 14: Like it's just getting so expensive. Now if you want 452 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 14: to go and have a little bit of gym beam 453 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 14: or a little whisky, or maybe it's into a bit 454 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 14: of vodka. 455 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 15: On Saturday night. 456 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 14: Then all of a sudden, this happens every year. We 457 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 14: have the spirits tax going up twice a year, so 458 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 14: it's one hundred and eight dollars a liter. The spirits 459 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 14: tax is set to rise. We've also got the fuel 460 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 14: excites going up today. But you know how boy did 461 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 14: it for us here that he decided to just you know, 462 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 14: press the Pawes button on schooners. So you know, beers 463 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 14: are frozen for two years. So maybe you'll just go 464 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 14: for a pint even instead of maybe going for the spirits. 465 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll just make your fast wonder.

You've just done like 504 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: two hours worth of whinging and crying and walking out 505 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 2: of the building in a commercial break not possible, So 506 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 2: you have to kind of suspend your disbelief to watch it. 507 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 2: But not with the newsreader, which is so it just 508 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: feels to me very very accurate about how things were 509 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty six in a TV newsroom. And I 510 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: know that because when I started working at a TV 511 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: newsroom about fifteen whatever, twenty years after that, those characters 512 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: are still hanging around, so I know that that's true. Anyway, 513 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: go and watch it. It's been I think so far, very 514 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 2: very good acting, fantastic storyline, just and I also just 515 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 2: love retro stuff. Don't you love retro stuff? Get taken 516 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: back to the nineteen eighties, a little bit of dire straits, 517 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: you know, those ridiculous little little berets that the girls 518 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: rolled around in like hair hair sprayed backwards. It's just great. 519 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 2: It's just nostalgia. Anyway, we'll talk about it another time 520 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 2: when I finished a season, we'll revisit it. Court battle 521 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: that you need to know about is the Maori Party Mariya. 522 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 2: This is the one about Maria men Or Kapa Kingi 523 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: fighting her expulsion, her lawyers. It's going on at the moment. 524 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 2: It's going to wrap up in about twenty minutes time. 525 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: By the looks of things, the lawyers have claimed she 526 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: was not only the only one that was going to overspin, 527 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: because remember that was a key part of the whole debate. 528 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: She was on the track to overspind but so with 529 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 2: the co leaders they were going to overspend by about 530 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: forty thousand dollars, and there was discussion of a settlement proposal. 531 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 2: So we'll just see what they Yet they yet to 532 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: address that in court. We'll see what that is about. 533 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: Both Maria men Or Kappa Kingi and John Palmerheadho. We're 534 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: in court today and so was our report to Ethan Griffiths, 535 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: who will be with us after five o'clock to run 536 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: us through at Barrisoapers with us next seventeen away from. 537 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: Five Politics with Centric Credit, check your customers and get 538 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: payments Certaday. 539 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: Fourteen away from five Barrisoper, senior political correspondent, is with us. 540 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: High Barry. 541 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 16: Good afternoon, Heather. 542 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 2: Okay, so run me through what it is that Eric 543 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: has announced today. 544 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 16: Well, to me, if you're a parent, it's going to 545 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 16: be in my view anyway, excellent because you'll know the 546 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 16: progress that your child's making. You get two report cards 547 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 16: a year, and you know it'll allow you to talk 548 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 16: to the school much more about progress, help your child 549 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 16: in an area where they are finding difficulty. It's just 550 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 16: a more transparence. But what is new, Oh, well, there'll 551 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 16: be a report twice a year that'll be sent home 552 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 16: to the parents. 553 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: Assuming that report cards. If we got report the report 554 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 2: cards can't be the new thing, because is it? Because 555 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 2: they're standardized across the country, they look the same for everybody. 556 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 16: Yeah, five hundred schools have already signed up to it, 557 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 16: and school's going back this week, of course. But I'll 558 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 16: tell you what. If there's one thing Erica Stanford's are 559 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 16: really good at, it's making the right noises about education 560 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 16: with the full Prime ministerial backing, which is what she 561 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 16: did today. Here she is on the report cards. 562 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 7: Parents will get a really good idea of the progress 563 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 7: and reading, writing and maths, and the individual strands within 564 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 7: reading and writing and maths, so that they know how 565 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 7: their children are doing and how they can help at home, 566 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 7: and it will be clearly laid out on their report cards. 567 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 7: This really is a partnership between schools and parents so 568 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 7: that together we can all raise student achievement. 569 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 16: First thing that sprang to my mind was that will 570 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 16: teachers be happy about because presumably it'll mean much more 571 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 16: work for them, although she says that under their system 572 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 16: they have I think eight hundred thousand teacher eight hours 573 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 16: being allocated to the system, and this will be all digitized, 574 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 16: so it won't be that difficult. It won't be the 575 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 16: old report card writing that teachers had to do in 576 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 16: the old days. But I like the old days because 577 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 16: it gave you. I do like the old days in class, 578 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 16: second in class that don't do that anymore. 579 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 2: How many times were you in first in class? 580 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 16: Well, I tell you what I heard you say, there's 581 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 16: no lineage in our. 582 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: High school Fosbury flop that you introduced high school. 583 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 16: Our little boy, I'll be teaching him as I did 584 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 16: learning to swim over the. 585 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: Past week, will drop off on athletic ability, obviously as 586 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: you go along. Why Tonguey day Prime Minister made the 587 00:26:59,600 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: right call. 588 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 16: Yes he has. But it's really interesting, isn't it when 589 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 16: you think this time last year Kappa Kinghi was basically 590 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 16: talking about coalitions and coalition partners and how they were 591 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 16: looking forward. 592 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: To this year. 593 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 16: And a year on, here she is in court fighting 594 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 16: against her expulsion from the party. They've been I guess 595 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 16: given some encouragement by the fact that you remember there 596 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 16: was a preliminary hearing and the judge in that last 597 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 16: December came down and said, look, the party was wrong 598 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 16: in that. And what's the bet If the decision is 599 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 16: made and announced that the court parents they're doing today 600 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 16: is announced by say, Wednesday, and that's the expectation, then 601 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 16: surely this will overshadow so much of what's going on 602 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 16: at why Tongy this weekend because you're going to have 603 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 16: the Mauldi party there in full force, and they're battling 604 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 16: like nobody's business with each other. And here we are 605 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 16: commemorating the three. 606 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: Great Ironies and all getting distracted. Okay, so tell me 607 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 2: what happened to Nick Smith in his bottom, poor old neck. 608 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 16: So he goes along to a concert the Newdleph Vineyards, 609 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 16: and he's the mayor of Nelson, of course, and his electorate. 610 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 16: There were basically groups like Stellar, the Mockers and the Dudes. 611 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: I've heard of the dudes, but the other time, very please, 612 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 2: Stella is Stella. The lead singer of Stella is the 613 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: sister of Oh. 614 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 16: I think she was there as well. So that cool. 615 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 2: She was there because Steller was there. That's how a 616 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: band work. 617 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: There, you might know. 618 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: Anyway, Get on with the wine. 619 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 16: Well, poor old Nick was there and he was with 620 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 16: his mates, no doubt, and decided he was at a 621 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 16: vineyard there was a concert going. Why wouldn't you be 622 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 16: able to go and buy a bottle of wine? No, 623 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 16: the rules said that they went allowed to buy bottles 624 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 16: of wine. They had to buy plastic cups of wine individually. 625 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 2: The control about being treated? Now, whose rules with this was? 626 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 11: This? 627 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 2: Nudoff wine wine. 628 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 16: The Tasman District Council. It says it was a gold 629 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 16: standard event. And that's the labels where you wouldn't you 630 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 16: wouldn't sell bottles of wine. I mean the point that 631 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 16: neck Smith made was look, Nudoff employed, sorry, exports overseas 632 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 16: hundreds of thousands of bottles of wine a year, and 633 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 16: yet they can't even sell a bottle of wine to 634 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 16: their own people in. 635 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: The All right, Barry, thanks very much, appreciate it. That's 636 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: Arry Soper, Senior Political correspondent. It's eight away from five. 637 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 16: Hither. 638 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: I love the Newsreader. It's the best thing I've seen 639 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: for ages. Great acting. 640 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 12: Hither. 641 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 2: I agree with you on the News Reader. We just 642 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: finished watching again. It's better Toe, which is different to 643 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: what keV just told me, because keV said to me 644 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 2: they bailed out. It's three because season three because it 645 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 2: gets silly. Heather the Newsreader is great. Love it from Amanda. 646 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: Heather the Newsreader is excellent. We watched all three seasons. Heather, 647 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: I'm with you. Then there's a bit of trolling of Olie, 648 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 2: which I'm not going to read out because I'm not 649 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: a firefighter. I don't want to get investigated here that 650 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: anything with one hundred percent rotten tomatoes gets my tack. 651 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: I went to have a lot. Ross's right, one hundred 652 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: percent rotten tomatoes. So I don't know. You can believe me, 653 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: You can believe rotten tomatoes, you can believe all those texters, 654 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: or you can believe OLLI. Now Heidi Clump, because the 655 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: Grammys are on are underway at the moment, Heidi Clum 656 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: probably has taken out the award for the worst outfit. 657 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: She's turned up in. Hard to describe. She's turned up 658 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 2: in a dress that's supposed to not look like like's 659 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 2: supposed to look like she's not wearing a dress, so 660 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 2: she's it's like a full latex in a in a 661 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 2: nude color, so it looks like her skin and it's 662 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: late tex, and it basically shows off everything because it's 663 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: incredibly figure. So it's a little bit like, I don't 664 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: really know, it's like wearing a plastic sock all over 665 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: your body. It's not flattering in the slightest actually, because 666 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 2: with Heidi you think supermodel banging body, and then she 667 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 2: puts on the latex and you go, oh, that's weirdly 668 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 2: showed off. Some weird curves I didn't expect you to have. 669 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 2: So there's that. Chapel Roane is probably a Chapel Roone 670 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: is either it's up there between Heidi and Chapel. Chapel 671 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 2: has come. She's the singer by the way, with the 672 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: red hair. She's come in basically topless. So she's got 673 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: on a burgundy mesh dress and so it's see through. 674 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: And then just in case you didn't see enough, she's 675 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 2: decided to get her nips out completely. Now she's got 676 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 2: nip rings and she has threaded her dress through the 677 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: nip rings, which is it's a sight. And also, even 678 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 2: if it wasn't see through, burgundy is definitely not her color. 679 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 2: So there's that as soon as some of those big, big, 680 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 2: big awards come and I'm going to run you through 681 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: that so we can debate that as well, because why 682 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: not just the Grammys is just getting more mental now, Listen. 683 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: One of the things in politics that I think is 684 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 2: going to become increasingly interesting is what's going on with 685 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: the critical minerals right, So it was revealed on Saturday 686 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 2: that the government is in talks with the Trump administration 687 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: about signing a critical minerals deal you'll know the critical 688 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: minerals is the deal that they've signed with Australia. It's 689 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: also the reason that Trump is obsessed with Greenland apart 690 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 2: quite apart from the strategic part of Greenland. The minerals 691 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 2: under the ground is what he's into. So we're going 692 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 2: to find out for you after half past help us five. 693 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 2: John Worth from GEO forty the CEO, will be with 694 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 2: us and just run us through what exactly we have 695 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 2: got under the ground, how much it's worth, whether we 696 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 2: want to be signing this deal or still trading with 697 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 2: China on the stuff. Whatever, We'll run us through all 698 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 2: of those details. Erica Stanford, Education Minister though, is with us. 699 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: Next on the report cards news Talk said b. 700 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 17: I'm backing Sheiko feel. 701 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: Another viginy. 702 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can try the truck to 703 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: ask the question. When we get the answers, find the 704 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: fact sack and give the analysis. Here the duplicy el 705 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: and drive with one New Zealand and the power of 706 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: satellite mobile news dogs That be. 707 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 2: Afternoon. So the school year is kicking off with something new, 708 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 2: which is a new reporting system. It's rolling out this 709 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 2: year giving parents of primary and intermediate aged kids nationally 710 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 2: consistent assessment and reporting of their children's progress. Education Minister 711 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 2: Erica Stanford is with us. Hi, Erica, hey, how are 712 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: you well? Thank you don't we already have reports to parents. 713 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 7: We do have reports to parents, but they aren't nationally 714 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 7: consistent to get some schools who provide very detailed, rich 715 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 7: reporting and others who don't do that same level of detail, 716 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 7: and so we're just trying to get a consistency across 717 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 7: the board because parents want to know how their children 718 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 7: are doing, and if they change schools or they go 719 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 7: from intermediate to primary, want it. We want it to 720 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 7: be the same language across the board and the same 721 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 7: level of detail. 722 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: Again, this is compulsory for all primary and intermediate schools, is. 723 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: It it is. 724 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 7: It's already compulsory that they have to report twice a year, 725 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 7: but we are just putting in regulations what they need 726 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 7: to report on. So against the new English and Maths curriculum, 727 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 7: they'll need to report on reading, writing and maths, but 728 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 7: for example, within mathematics they'll have to report on geometry 729 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 7: measurement some of the other strands, you know, the number strands, 730 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 7: so it'll be more detailed rather than maths tick proficient. 731 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 7: It'll actually give you far more granular detail on which 732 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 7: strands of maths and how your child is doing in 733 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 7: each one, and then what you can do at home 734 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 7: to help them. For example, with measurement, it might say, 735 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 7: you know, do some baking at home and double the 736 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 7: recipes so they have to practice their measurement. 737 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, what is the FEEDBA, because I know you trialed 738 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 2: it in about eighty five schools. What was the feedback 739 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 2: from parents? 740 00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 10: Did they like it? 741 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 7: We trialed the new assessment tool. The reporting framework has 742 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 7: been out to schools and out to the sector. We've 743 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 7: tried it within a number of different sector groups have 744 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 7: all given us extraordinarily good feedback. So there's two parts 745 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 7: to this. There's the twice yearly assessment which is brand 746 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 7: new as well. So this year schools need to assess 747 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 7: children in their progress twice a year and reading, writing, 748 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 7: and maths using one of three tools, which will be 749 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 7: reducing to two tools next year. That, for the first 750 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 7: time in our country's history, gives us a nationally consistent 751 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 7: view of student progress over time, so parents know exactly 752 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 7: how their kids are doing. No more getting to high 753 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,760 Speaker 7: school and realizing a kid doesn't know the times tables, 754 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 7: because it will be assessed and it will also go 755 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 7: alongside teacher judgment and it will be reported on Erica. 756 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 2: Listen. I'm getting a lot of texts from parents, completely unprompted, 757 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 2: complaining that there are schools who are already running teacher 758 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 2: only days as early is this Thursday, just ahead of 759 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 2: White Tonguey Day. What's going on here? 760 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 7: But schools need to hold curriculum days because I'm about 761 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 7: the curriculum. 762 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, but hang on it. They're just coming back today 763 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 2: and then they're back off again on teacher only days 764 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 2: on Thursday. That's taken them, Mickey, isn't it Well? 765 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 7: They have to hold them across the year, and they 766 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 7: do try and hold them close to public holidays, not 767 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 7: for the reasons you think, but for the reasons that 768 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 7: those tend to be the days that kids take off anyway, 769 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 7: and they try to put them on the days where 770 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 7: they have the lowest student numbers. 771 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 2: Why are they doing it during term breaks? 772 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 7: That is an excellent question, my friend, And you should 773 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 7: ask the union, Matt because I would love them too. 774 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 2: You would love them too, Seymour would love them to. 775 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 2: This has been subject to the like this was part 776 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 2: of the negotiations at the end of last year. This 777 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 2: feels very much. Yeah, like that's loocking you guys the 778 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 2: bird are they? 779 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 7: Well, there are Sorry, I'm standing outside with buses. I 780 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 7: apologize for the noise. There are callback days that teachers 781 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 7: can come in during school to break. There's ten of 782 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 7: them per year. The problem with them is is that 783 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 7: schools have to pay for childcare, travel, food and other allowances, 784 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 7: and they just it is difficult for schools. It comes 785 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 7: out of their OPSCRP if they do that, and this 786 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 7: is part of the union requirements. And I try, you know, 787 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 7: we're in negotiations with the union to try and make 788 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 7: that a bit easier to get you know, parents, sorry, 789 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 7: to get teachers to come back during term break to 790 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 7: do their PLD. But it's proving very very difficult that 791 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 7: unions are a holding firm over and I want. 792 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 2: To say that well, good luck with it, Erica, and 793 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 2: thanks very much again, Erica. Sanford Education Minister eleven past five. 794 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: Together do to c ellen. 795 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 2: So the Marori party's internal battle has finally gone to court. 796 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 2: This is, of course, the case of mariy amenal Kapa Kenya, 797 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 2: who's fighting her expulsion from the party. News Talk ZB 798 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 2: political reporter Ethan Griffith has been in court today and 799 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 2: is with US High Ethan Hi Heather. Now, this whole 800 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 2: thing centers on the claim that she misused her funds. 801 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 5: Did she well, I guess that's kind of the one 802 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty three thousand dollars question. It's something that 803 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 5: Cappa Kingi was focused pretty intently on as she sat 804 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 5: in the back of the courtroom today. Now, evidence today 805 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 5: shows that Cappakingi was on track to overspend her parliamentary 806 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 5: budget by that amount. She essentially had to borrow money 807 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 5: from the next year's budget to make up the shortfall. Now, 808 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 5: her lawyer Mike Colson claims the party leadership that expelled 809 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 5: her for that reason misusing party funds. The key thing 810 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 5: here is that Carpa Kingy's side claims they weren't party funds. 811 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 5: They were for her parliamentary office, i e. She'd get 812 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 5: the money if she was in the party or an independent. 813 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,840 Speaker 5: On the other side, lawyer for the party, Davey Sammons 814 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 5: says the court shouldn't waste its time on quote linguistic exactitudes. 815 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,439 Speaker 5: She misused the fund's full stop and still hasn't explained why. 816 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 5: And all of that's kind of pedantics around the meaning 817 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 5: of words, right, But the big piece of evidence to 818 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 5: come out of today's hearing is get this. The party 819 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 5: co leader's own account was over budget by forty two 820 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 5: thousand dollars at the same time. So Cappa Kingi's lawyer says, 821 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 5: that's deeply ironic and proves you cannot classify this as monsieur. 822 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 2: And the other allegation is that she brought the party 823 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 2: into disrepute. 824 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 5: How yeah, well, this is the second leg of the expulsion. 825 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 5: There's the funds and then there's this. Kappa Kee's lawyers 826 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 5: say this entire leg relies on one comment she made 827 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 5: to the media where she said, and I'm paraphrasing here, 828 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 5: she was trying not to focus on the party's dysfunction, 829 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 5: so claiming the party was dysfunctional essentially. Her lawyers say 830 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 5: that the parties also trying to hold her responsible for 831 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 5: her son's comments. You'll remember this is Edu Kappakinghi, the 832 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 5: party's form and vice president, who came out on social 833 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 5: media calling the party's leadership dictatorial. Now, Kupa King's lawyers 834 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 5: say that she's not remotely responsible for her son's comments, 835 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 5: and even then the disrepute bar is too high for 836 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 5: it to count. But the party's lawyer, Davey Salmon, on 837 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 5: the other hand, compared Kappa kinghy to get this Francis 838 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 5: Urkitt from the nineteen ninety BBC drama House of Cards 839 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 5: and his famous quote, well you can think that, but 840 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 5: I couldn't possibly comment. Essentially, he was saying that this 841 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 5: was politics. While Kapa Key didn't make the comments herself, 842 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 5: she didn't come out and reject them either. 843 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 2: Amazing, Hey, thank you very much, appreciate it, mate.

All right, it's eighteen past 879 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 2: five now, as we started the program discussing fire and 880 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 2: Emergency is investigating an incident where a firefighter made a 881 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 2: rude gesture after speaking to the Prime Minister. So the 882 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 2: TikTok video, which has since been taken down, shows the 883 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 2: Prime Minister chatting to the firefighter and then when he 884 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 2: walks away towards the chopper, the firefighter turns away, faces 885 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 2: the camera and makes a rude motion that we would 886 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 2: describe as feeding the chicks. Max Whitehead is an employment 887 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 2: law expert at the white Head Group and is with us. 888 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 11: Now. 889 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 2: I'm Max, Hi, they Heather mate. I cannot help but 890 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 2: feel that FENS investigating this is a complete overreaction. Am 891 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 2: I wrong? 892 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 11: Well to an agree? Possibly you are? Now we can disagree, though, Heather, 893 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 11: you and I known each other for a while, but 894 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 11: bringing an organization into disrepute is unacceptable. In fact, you 895 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 11: just had your last guest I think mentioned the same word. 896 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 11: But when a firefighter wears the uniform is representing the 897 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 11: fire organization, then they have got to conduct themselves accordingly, 898 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 11: and by doing a gesture such as they did, with 899 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 11: such as she did, it's going to bring the organization 900 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 11: to a bit of disrepute. I did note minister thought 901 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 11: it was quite humorous at the time, well, you know, 902 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 11: after it was brought to his attention. But I would 903 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 11: think that the fire people, the authorities will be quite 904 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 11: concerned about it. 905 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 2: Do they need to take into account that she's a volunteer, 906 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 2: by which I mean surely there are lower standards for 907 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,280 Speaker 2: a volunteer than a professional. 908 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 11: Well, the sad thing here, if she was fired, for example, 909 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 11: said right, you're dismissed. We don't want you back here anymore. 910 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 11: She can't suit them because she is not an employee. 911 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 11: It's I know, because that seems really unfair, being a volunteers, 912 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 11: someone out there trying to help our community, and yet 913 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 11: she doesn't have the rights to a personal grievance. But 914 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 11: she does have a right to go to the disputes tribunal. However, 915 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 11: I don't even think their remedies would probably cover for 916 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 11: what she's probably requiring in this particular argument. 917 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 2: She have an argument though that yeah, I mean, look 918 00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 2: what she shouldn't have done it. You know, but everybody 919 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 2: is a little bit about politicians from time to time. 920 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I know I say stuff about politicians that 921 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 2: I wouldn't want people to hear out loud. There isn't 922 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 2: the actual problem whoever it is that actually stuck it 923 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,959 Speaker 2: up on TikTok, it's really their fault. 924 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 11: Well, I know she took the action, so you're really 925 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 11: going to go back to the source end and it 926 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 11: is not appropriate. But do you know whither You and 927 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 11: I would probably smile about this because it wasn't offending 928 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 11: to such a degree. But and also you're very very correct. 929 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 11: Most people do have some awful things to say about 930 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 11: politicians behind their back, but to their face and to 931 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 11: the Prime Minister, one of the most highest ranking people 932 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 11: of out community. 933 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. 934 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 11: She's bordering on possibly being reprimanded at the minimum. 935 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 2: You're all right, Max, you're a hard man. I appreciate it. 936 00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 2: Max's Whitehead employment law expert at the White Head group. Heather, 937 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 2: I actually love and agree with your thoughts reluxant in 938 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 2: the fire and how I've lost account of the amount 939 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 2: of times I've been called a word that rhymes with banker. Yeah, Trevor, 940 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 2: thank you. You and I are alone in this Trevor 941 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 2: five to twenty one. 942 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather duple Clan 943 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand coverage like no one else 944 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: news talks. They'd be Heather. 945 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 2: There is no respect in this country and that's why 946 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 2: the firemen did the thing that the firemen did, So 947 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 2: thank you for that. Five twenty four. Tell you what 948 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 2: my first thought about Andrew over the weekend. You know 949 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 2: who I'm talking about, formerly the Prince, now Andrew mount 950 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 2: Batten Windsor. My first thought over the weekend with all 951 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 2: those weird photos that was released in the latest run 952 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:35,840 Speaker 2: of the Epstein Files was that I'm glad that his 953 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 2: mum is not around to see this, because I'll tell 954 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 2: you what, is one thing to read about what Andrew 955 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 2: has done and is probably still doing. It is quite 956 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 2: another to see photos of him and all falls on 957 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 2: the floor with an unidentified woman. I mean That's weird, 958 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 2: isn't it. Probably The biggest thing that happened Andrew wise 959 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 2: over the weekend though, was not actually the release of 960 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,239 Speaker 2: those inexplicable photos, but what a caused, which is the 961 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 2: Prime Minister of the UK, Kiir Starmer to pipe up 962 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 2: and say something about it when he said that Andrew 963 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 2: should testify in the US Congress over what he knows 964 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 2: about Epstein's crimes. That's a big deal. Is a really 965 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,280 Speaker 2: big deal that Kairs Starmer said something, because the convention 966 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 2: has been that the royals stay out of politics and 967 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 2: that politicians stay away from the royals until now. Now, 968 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 2: if we want to get into hair splitting territory, you 969 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 2: can say Andrew was fair game to Kiostarmer because he's 970 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 2: not a royal anymore since his titles were taken off him. 971 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 2: But he still is the brother of the king. And 972 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 2: so for most people, they're not going to see the 973 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 2: nuance there. They're just going to see that the UK 974 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 2: political leaders having a crack at a royal. And as 975 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,800 Speaker 2: I've said before, I think actually this is probably the 976 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,800 Speaker 2: biggest problem that Andrew has created. He is eroding the 977 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 2: magic of the royals. Sure, you can make the argument 978 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: that actually it's been eroding for decades, maybe since the 979 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 2: bad call from the Queen with flags after Diana died, 980 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 2: maybe since earlier, maybe since tampon Gate. Maybe it's salvagible. 981 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: I mean, the Royals have survived a lot, right, They've 982 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,839 Speaker 2: survived the abdication. They can probably survive Andrew, But boy 983 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 2: is he making them work for it and opening the 984 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 2: door to politicians giving their reckens about the brother of 985 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 2: the king. Was Hey, what they're going to be hoping? 986 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 2: That's a door that's only temporarily opened, and it's only 987 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 2: open for. 988 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: Andrewgather do for Selish. 989 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 2: We got the huddle standing by. Actually they're going to 990 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 2: be with us shortly, Trician Josie. We'll have a chat 991 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 2: to them about that. 992 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 4: Here we go. 993 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 2: This is the wrap up of some of the big 994 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 2: ones from the Grammys. So Best Pop Vocal Album has 995 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,840 Speaker 2: gone to Lady Gaga for Mayhem, Best Contemporary Country Album, 996 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:31,800 Speaker 2: Beautifully Broken by Jelly Roll, Best Musica Urbana Album. This 997 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,759 Speaker 2: is something we don't actually tend to care about, but 998 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 2: it's gone to Bad Bunny. Now what you need to 999 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 2: know is Bad Bunny is massive globally, and we pay 1000 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 2: him hardly any attention whatsoever in the country. It's the 1001 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 2: weirdest thing. We don't listen to Bad Bunny. They're all 1002 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 2: listening to Bad Bunny. Anyway. He had a crack at 1003 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 2: the ice. 1004 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: Before I say. 1005 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 3: Thanks to God, I'm going to. 1006 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 9: Say, eyes out. 1007 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,279 Speaker 16: We're not savas, We're not animals, we're not elias, we 1008 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 16: aren't humans, and we are Americans. 1009 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,919 Speaker 2: I'm the one that I never thought that I would 1010 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 2: care about. Now I actually weirdly do his best children's 1011 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 2: music album. So I'm going to go and dig this out. 1012 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,000 Speaker 2: I don't even know how to pronounce it huge and 1013 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 2: or v, I don't know whatever. If it's better than 1014 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,760 Speaker 2: the Wiggles and Coco Melon, I'm going to take it. Anything, 1015 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,439 Speaker 2: anything is better than that critical mineral strategy and whether 1016 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 2: we should sign the deal with Donald Trump, We're going 1017 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 2: to deal with that. 1018 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:44,479 Speaker 1: Next news, the day's newspakers talk to Heather First, Heather 1019 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: dup c Ellen drive with One New Zealand and the 1020 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: Power of satellite mobile news talks. 1021 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 2: They to the Grammy Share has been given the Lifetime 1022 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,919 Speaker 2: Achievement Award, and the Record of the Year has gone 1023 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 2: to Kendrick Lamar for Luther featuring Scissor. This means Kendrick 1024 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,720 Speaker 2: Lamar has now got twenty two Grammy wins from sixty 1025 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 2: six nominations across his career, which makes them absolutely one 1026 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 2: hundred percent the most successful rap artist in history, which 1027 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 2: is pretty remarkable. Nikola Willis will be with us as 1028 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 2: per usual after six because it's Monday right now, it's 1029 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,480 Speaker 2: twenty five away from six. So it's been revealed that 1030 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 2: the Trump administration is talking to our government about possibly 1031 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,359 Speaker 2: signing a critical minerals deal. Australia signed one last year, 1032 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 2: the Ukraine signed one, and these minerals are part of 1033 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 2: the reason that Trump is obsessed with Greenland. GEO forty 1034 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 2: CEO in Managing Director John Werth is with us. Hi, John, Hi, here, 1035 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 2: they heard you? Well, thank you. How much of the 1036 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 2: stuff have we got on the ground. 1037 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 17: Look, with New Zealand is quite mineral rich. It isn't 1038 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 17: always easy to get hold of the minerals in New Zealand, 1039 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 17: and I guess we're a bit different to that where 1040 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 17: we're a technology to find those minerals anywhere on Earth. 1041 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 2: So so how much of it, like, is it significant? 1042 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,879 Speaker 2: Are we international significant? 1043 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: Look? 1044 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 17: I think we're relatively small by international standards, but there's 1045 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 17: enough interesting stuff here such that a whole series of 1046 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:14,320 Speaker 17: Kiwi companies have developed pretty clever technology to source those minerals. 1047 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 17: And I think what we find exciting is the potential 1048 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 17: to take that technology offshore. 1049 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 2: So our the stuff that we're using to get out 1050 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 2: is the real saleable component here rather than what we've 1051 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 2: got on the ground. 1052 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 17: Yeah, a little bit of bout. So we saw silica 1053 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,879 Speaker 17: and the central Orthiland close to Typo, and we sell 1054 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 17: you several thousand tons of that all around the world. 1055 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 17: So we certainly do it here, but I think that 1056 00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 17: probably the bigger potential is to export key we know 1057 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 17: how in tech, you know, to a much bigger global opportunity. 1058 00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 2: Is there a reason why we don't just do it 1059 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 2: in the like old fashioned mining, dig a hole in 1060 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 2: the ground, get the stuff out. 1061 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 17: Yeah, there's an emerging narrative here. So certainly a lot 1062 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 17: of based metals, you know, we still mind copper and 1063 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 17: gold that way. I think in some of these strategic 1064 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 17: minerals like lithium particularly and others which include boron and caesium, 1065 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,920 Speaker 17: you can find them in underground fluids, and this is 1066 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 17: quite quite a new type of mining where rather than 1067 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 17: digging up rocks and crushing them, you find these old 1068 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,440 Speaker 17: aquifers deep in the ground, and we develop technology to 1069 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 17: get these minerals out of these fluids. 1070 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 2: Why is there I mean, we're talking even again now, 1071 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 2: we're talking a lot about potentially getting gold out of 1072 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: the ground. Sentana and all those guys. Why are we 1073 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 2: not having a similar conversation about these critical minerals. 1074 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,239 Speaker 17: Look, I think when we started our journey at G forty, 1075 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 17: you know, nobody was talking about critical minerals, right, it 1076 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 17: wasn't really a thing. And I think you know, the 1077 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 17: growth of the ev sector and the imperative to have 1078 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,560 Speaker 17: listenum in just about every device we own has really 1079 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,400 Speaker 17: given birth to this. And you'll hear this extended to 1080 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,040 Speaker 17: things like rare earths, you know, and all the magnets 1081 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 17: and all the motives that we use. So it's really 1082 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 17: it's really come from OWHRE in the last decade. And 1083 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 17: now these are the interesting thing about these minerals is 1084 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 17: these are really the minerals that power decarbonization. If we 1085 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 17: want to drive electric cars, you know, we need these minerals. 1086 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,359 Speaker 17: And there they're getting harder to find, you know, they're 1087 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 17: quite widely present around the world. But this opportunity to 1088 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 17: pull them out of these underground fluence is really very exciting. 1089 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 2: So if you have a look, if you were to 1090 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 2: compare it to the amount of gold that we've got 1091 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 2: on the ground, is it more or less? 1092 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:24,760 Speaker 17: Look globally, we believe this potential to get more lithium 1093 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 17: out of the ground from Brian than has currently been 1094 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 17: minded hard rock. So I think that the potential is enormous. 1095 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 17: But beyond that, what getting lithium out of the or 1096 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 17: and other minerals out of his Brian's does is it 1097 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 17: creates a fairer and flatter geopolitical landscape. 1098 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,239 Speaker 2: And in terms of what New Zealand can supply, do 1099 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 2: we have more of the stuff in the ground than 1100 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,160 Speaker 2: we have gold or less. I'm trying to get a 1101 00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,799 Speaker 2: handle on how much of the stuff we've got. 1102 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:50,800 Speaker 17: Yeah, Look, I think there's there's quite a bit of 1103 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 17: discussions not about whether we can contribute rare earth supply, 1104 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 17: you know, to the global rare earth demand. 1105 00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:58,360 Speaker 1: I think we can do a little bit of that. 1106 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,720 Speaker 7: We certainly do silica quite large scale. 1107 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: We can do more of that. 1108 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 17: There's a little bit of lithium here not a great deal. 1109 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 17: So we're focused on lithium offshore, and of course we 1110 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 17: have gold and copro. 1111 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,280 Speaker 2: And other resources and antimony. We have some antominy. 1112 00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,799 Speaker 7: We we have some antimony as well. 1113 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 17: Yep, correct, and that's also found in Brian So that's 1114 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 17: that's super interesting for us. 1115 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 2: Now, John, So do we sell any of this stuff 1116 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,359 Speaker 2: to China? Because it feels to me like we're lining up, 1117 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 2: were at least being lined up by the Trump administration 1118 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 2: to choose between the two. 1119 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:30,479 Speaker 17: Look, look, we don't And I guess what's that sitting 1120 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 17: behind all this, of course is the geopolitics of critical 1121 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 17: minerals and not just the sourcing of them, but also 1122 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 17: the refining and improvement of them. So there is a 1123 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 17: globe we'll move on together, I guess, a more level 1124 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:47,320 Speaker 17: geopolitical sort of both sourcing and refining landscape, and certainly 1125 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,240 Speaker 17: we're playing our part of that by trying to export 1126 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:51,319 Speaker 17: our technology around the world. 1127 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 2: Good stuff, Hey, John, thanks very much for talking us 1128 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 2: through at John Worth's CEO managing director at GEO forty. 1129 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,680 Speaker 2: By the way, if you read the international papers, you 1130 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 2: will see that there's there a meeting that is due 1131 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 2: to happen this week involving our ministers, ministers from the US, 1132 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:12,320 Speaker 2: the UK, the EU, Australia about the subject by the way, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, India, 1133 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,400 Speaker 2: South Korea, Mexico, possibly Argentina, and they're all going to 1134 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 2: be discussing the calls that that have been issued towards 1135 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 2: the US to guarantee a minimum price for these critical 1136 00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,759 Speaker 2: minerals and rare earths. So if you're wondering, Ah, what 1137 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,839 Speaker 2: are the chances we're going to sign this document with Trump, 1138 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,480 Speaker 2: I'd say probably quite high. Twenty away from six the 1139 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 2: huddle with. 1140 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, a name you can trust 1141 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 1: locally and globally. 1142 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 2: Get on the huddle with me. This evening we have 1143 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 2: Trisherson from Sherston Willis PR and Josip Pegani, CEO of 1144 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 2: Child Fund. Hi, are you too? 1145 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 18: Hello? 1146 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,760 Speaker 2: Are you that right? What do you reckon? Trish? Should 1147 00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,359 Speaker 2: the firefighter be investigated? 1148 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 10: Absolutely not. 1149 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,839 Speaker 19: I mean it's ridiculous to think that a meme, what's 1150 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 19: essentially turned into a gesture that's turned into a meme, 1151 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:00,320 Speaker 19: should now be turned into a disciplinary process. It's a 1152 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 19: reminder to you know, the leaders in our organizations that 1153 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 19: they're going to have to be a bit more grown 1154 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 19: up when it comes to reacting to stuff like this 1155 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,399 Speaker 19: that rears its head on social media. Then they get 1156 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 19: a call from the media to say what are you 1157 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 19: going to do? And their first reaction is an investigation. 1158 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 19: I actually thought the PM this morning, the way he 1159 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 19: laughed it off, I thought it was smart, smart politics. 1160 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 19: He didn't go into perl clutching about it, which would 1161 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 19: be ridiculous. But I think what what it reminds us of? 1162 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 19: Number One? In New Zealand, we love humor like this. 1163 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 19: That that video went around New Zealand in lightning speed 1164 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,360 Speaker 19: over the weekend and we all had a bit of 1165 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:53,360 Speaker 19: a chuckle. But underlying that, I think is what I 1166 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 19: would call the contempt gap. You know, politicians used to 1167 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:02,759 Speaker 19: be held in sort of or whereas these days for 1168 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 19: a lot of people, you know, they just they don't 1169 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 19: have the same feeling anymore. People are feeling unheard. There 1170 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 19: is this respect around. But the good news for New 1171 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 19: Zealand is if this is the level of our you know, 1172 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 19: showing what we actually feel about politicians, we're in a 1173 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 19: pretty good space compared to other countries too, right, Jose, 1174 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 19: what do you think. Yeah, I mean the firefighter that 1175 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 19: this woman who did this gesture, she wasn't doing it 1176 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,840 Speaker 19: to the cameras, she wasn't doing it in public. She 1177 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 19: was clearly turning around doing it to a mate of 1178 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:42,040 Speaker 19: his and going, you know what a banker and so 1179 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 19: you know, the fact that it went public isn't her fault. 1180 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,000 Speaker 19: And I think you made that point too. She hasn't 1181 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 19: she hasn't sort of put this up on tech took herself, 1182 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,120 Speaker 19: and I think your right trius. Luxen's response was actually 1183 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,879 Speaker 19: really good. He just said, you know, stay calm, lasted off, 1184 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 19: although he did use one of his you know, menu of. 1185 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 18: Cliches and metaphors. I think he said something like, you know, 1186 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 18: well there's a lot of moving parts, which I have 1187 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,839 Speaker 18: no idea what he means by that. And I think 1188 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,439 Speaker 18: that also talks to another bigger problem here though, which 1189 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 18: you alluded to, Trish, that it shows also I think 1190 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,200 Speaker 18: that Luxem is just not really connecting with people despite 1191 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 18: the hand on the shoulder, and that's a problem for national, 1192 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 18: isn't it. I mean that, you know, there's a feeling 1193 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 18: that he just talks like chat GPT, he doesn't really 1194 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 18: talk like a human. He talks like a spreadsheet. And 1195 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 18: you know, this is just another example of him not 1196 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,800 Speaker 18: really connecting. And I think this is just this problem 1197 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 18: for National is just going to keep accelerating because unfortunately, 1198 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,160 Speaker 18: connecting with the voters is part of the job. 1199 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 10: Do you know what I thought? 1200 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:50,280 Speaker 19: The toughest part of watching that video was so Luxein's 1201 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,200 Speaker 19: he's gone from just patting someone on the arm to 1202 00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 19: it to sort of a rub like you'd give you 1203 00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 19: great auntie, which is, you know, you need to pull 1204 00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 19: back on that, keep hands herself. But then he walks 1205 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 19: away and he's like the unco kid in the playground, 1206 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:05,800 Speaker 19: thinking he's really made. 1207 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 2: Strides with the cool gang. 1208 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 19: And so he's walking away and he thinks, should I'll 1209 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 19: turn back and give them one more wave? That went 1210 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,480 Speaker 19: so well? And so he's in the background waving again 1211 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:19,479 Speaker 19: and she's in the front still gesture. It was quite 1212 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 19: a hard watch. 1213 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 2: It's awful, and. 1214 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 18: It's kind of like you feel that his political advisors 1215 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 18: will be telling him again and again, you know, be yourself, 1216 00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 18: be yourself. But the problem is what is being yourself 1217 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 18: is that you you know, basically are outperformed by your 1218 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 18: lecterns every time you give a speech. 1219 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 19: So I don't know. 1220 00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,440 Speaker 18: You know, it's hard to know what to do with him, 1221 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 18: isn't it. He's not doing anything wrong as such, he's 1222 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,200 Speaker 18: saying the right things. He responded, well this morning, it's 1223 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,520 Speaker 18: just not connecting. We just don't love him, and you've 1224 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 18: got to love someone who's the leader of your country, 1225 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 18: or at least admire them. 1226 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, we just have to enjoy this video, I think again. 1227 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 2: We'll take a break, come back to you, guys. Shortly 1228 00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 2: caught it to. 1229 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 1: With New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the only truly global brand. 1230 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,479 Speaker 2: Right, you're back with the heart old Joseph Agani tresiuson. Okay, 1231 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 2: Josie Madeline has sent me a text and it's the 1232 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 2: first plausible explanation I have for what the hell Andrew 1233 00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 2: was doing on his hands and knees. She reckons he 1234 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 2: might have been doing a first aid course and the 1235 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 2: woman was a dummy. 1236 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 18: Well, anyone who's done a first day course, it's it's 1237 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 18: only half a tulso, so I don't think that that 1238 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 18: explanation stacks up. That was a whole body. It's just 1239 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 18: it's really weird The weird bit about it is his 1240 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 18: look to camera, like I believe he was doing some 1241 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 18: kind of abdominal massage if he didn't have that weird 1242 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,080 Speaker 18: look to the camera where he looks like, you know, 1243 00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 18: cat that got the milk and he's about to do 1244 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 18: something awful. It's just, oh my god, what a what 1245 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:52,440 Speaker 18: an incredible stain on you know, King Charles and this 1246 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,439 Speaker 18: new rain. It just feels so sordid. It's the whole 1247 00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 18: thing Fiells salacious sort. But the other thing that struck 1248 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 18: me about it is, you know, all this stuff coming 1249 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 18: out this weekend and we're all reading it kind of 1250 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,919 Speaker 18: you know, intake of breast going every time we read. 1251 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 18: Another example of all of these media people I'm not 1252 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 18: going to name them, but media, you know, leaders of 1253 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:19,640 Speaker 18: the world, business leaders, political leaders, either in their underpants 1254 01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 18: or worried about their STDs, or you know, flying to 1255 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 18: the Lita Island on the Lita Express and you look 1256 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 18: at it and you go, oh my god. The conspiracy 1257 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,160 Speaker 18: theorist they actually have a little bit right. But there's 1258 01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 18: this sort of weird elite class that thinks that it 1259 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 18: doesn't have to obey any rules, any laws, any moral codes. 1260 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 18: And it's kind of running the world and you sort 1261 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 18: of go, God, they've got a point. 1262 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, well they often do have a little bit of 1263 01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 2: a point somewhere. Do you make it? I reckon Kiirstarma's 1264 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,560 Speaker 2: intervention is probably the most problematic for the Royals. 1265 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, I think when this whole saga is 1266 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 19: looked back on in you know, in his in the 1267 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,800 Speaker 19: Annals of History, I think there's two things that will 1268 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:10,160 Speaker 19: come out. One is Epstein will be probably considered the 1269 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 19: ultimate con man that he could come literally from nothing, 1270 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 19: fake his way from being a teacher in a classroom 1271 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 19: to then conning all of these you know, these guys 1272 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:30,320 Speaker 19: into doing what he wanted when he wanted and obviously 1273 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 19: he was documenting stuff, so he had it in the 1274 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 19: top drawer to keep them doing what he wanted. And 1275 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 19: I think secondly, it will be one of the biggest 1276 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 19: lessons ever in fronting up on something and dealing with 1277 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 19: it first before it completely destroys you. This will be 1278 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 19: the lesson for the Royal family in history. I mean, 1279 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,919 Speaker 19: Andrew has been it's just been a disgrace the whole 1280 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,520 Speaker 19: way through how he's wanted to handle it. But the 1281 01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 19: terrible thing is that the royal family has gone along 1282 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,000 Speaker 19: with that, and now with this next release, he is 1283 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 19: always now the lightning rod or the sort of example 1284 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 19: of just how disgraceful this whole thing was. 1285 01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,560 Speaker 18: But you know, I think you and I and Heather 1286 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 18: would not be taken in by this con man, right, 1287 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 18: So I don't believe they were particularly taken I do 1288 01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 18: think that there's just some sort of addiction to celebrity. 1289 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 18: They all wanted to be in this network because he 1290 01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 18: was hanging out with the leaders and shakers and the 1291 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 18: celebrities and the you know, if you wanted to be 1292 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,440 Speaker 18: with the people ruling the world, that's where you had 1293 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,640 Speaker 18: to be. And I just don't believe, you know, it 1294 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 18: was gud was arrested, you know, for for association with 1295 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 18: minor or whatever it was, when his first prison term, 1296 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 18: and still these people were texting him and loving him 1297 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 18: and sending him, you know, kisses and saying let's meet up. 1298 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 18: So there's something kind of sick at the heart of 1299 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,360 Speaker 18: it where you think. I don't think they were conned. 1300 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 18: I think they're just, you know, there's some sort of 1301 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 18: bad moral code that exists in this network of people. 1302 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 2: But money was that not all it was I mean, 1303 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 2: Foogie kept coming back for the money. The New Zealand 1304 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 2: academic was in it for the money. All of these 1305 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 2: people wanted to be with him because he was he 1306 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 2: was loaded. Well that's the thing. 1307 01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 18: He Bill Gates and don't need the money, and they're 1308 01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 18: hanging out with him and you know, worried about But 1309 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:22,400 Speaker 18: that's the thing with Epstein. 1310 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 19: He didn't have money. He conned his way into having 1311 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 19: some wealth behind him, and he was just absolutely he 1312 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 19: must he was a master con artist. He knew psychologically 1313 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,680 Speaker 19: what drove these guys where they you know, he knew 1314 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 19: that where he could push their moral compasses right off 1315 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 19: the edge, and that's the way that he got them 1316 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:50,720 Speaker 19: into this vortex of grub and filth. And ultimately, I 1317 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,920 Speaker 19: think what this tranche of release has shown is that 1318 01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 19: the most damaging part of this is not just their 1319 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:04,320 Speaker 19: association with them. It's now showing that they have been 1320 01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 19: lying and cheating all the way along, and that they're 1321 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:11,840 Speaker 19: timing in contact to your earlier point, Josie, they were 1322 01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 19: donkey deep with the sky even after his first his 1323 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 19: first jail time, they literally didn't care about that. 1324 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,440 Speaker 2: It's a very good point, ladies, it's lovely to chat 1325 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 2: to the pair of you.

No, 1334 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 2: but I'm also going to try to teach my children 1335 01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 2: not to flip out about absolutely everything. Otherwise you're going 1336 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 2: to run out of energy by about half past eleven 1337 01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 2: in the morning. Which, yes, I know you're probably sitting there. 1338 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,680 Speaker 2: That sironic coming from you, and I do see the irony. 1339 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 2: I do, Hey, this I speaking of irony. Guess what 1340 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:12,640 Speaker 2: Steve Hanson and Ian Foster have been asked to consider 1341 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,320 Speaker 2: applying for the All Blacks head coach job. In a 1342 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 2: way I did, I mean Steve Hanson, I mean he 1343 01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 2: was very successful. Ian Foster Liso and I remain not 1344 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,120 Speaker 2: convinced by Ian Foster, but for his own as a human. 1345 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,840 Speaker 2: I feel somewhat happy for him because the way that 1346 01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 2: he was treated by the n z Are towards the 1347 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,680 Speaker 2: end was just outrageous. So I'm very happy, like he 1348 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 2: must feel somewhat vindicated and get. 1349 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,200 Speaker 10: Us to the final World Cup final. That was pretty good. 1350 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:42,920 Speaker 2: It was a lumpy ride to get there though. Ay 1351 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,520 Speaker 2: that's a fair point. Hey, now listen, I guess so 1352 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 2: they just told me so. Bad Bunny has one Album 1353 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:49,320 Speaker 2: of the Year, which prompted the question, well, what did 1354 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 2: I what did I just? 1355 01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:51,120 Speaker 1: What did I just tell you? 1356 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 2: Lamar? Kendrick Lamar had one Oh no, sorry, that was 1357 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,800 Speaker 2: an album of the Record of the Year, which obviously 1358 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,360 Speaker 2: prompts the question, well, what's the difference. I don't know, 1359 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 2: but the latest from the Grammys is Bad Bunny has 1360 01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 2: won Album of the Year. Not to be confused with 1361 01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar winning Record of the Year. They are two 1362 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 2: completely different things.

This is sorry the weather related 1377 01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 2: by arts and the insurance. Have we as a country 1378 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 2: decided no to the buyouts? 1379 01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 8: Well, we have a natural hazard scheme where everyone who 1380 01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 8: has home insurance pays a levy and that goes towards 1381 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 8: the Natural Hazards Fund. And what that means is if 1382 01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 8: because of flooding or landslide there is damage to your land, 1383 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:28,320 Speaker 8: you are insured by the state insurer to partially recover that. 1384 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 8: And if there's a landslide to your actual home you 1385 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 8: also get insurance coverage for that. So we do have 1386 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:36,320 Speaker 8: that coverage in place. 1387 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, what about the case of West Aukland, getting flooded 1388 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,000 Speaker 2: and then wanting their houses bought out. Have we put 1389 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 2: is there a line in the sand on that no more? 1390 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:46,600 Speaker 2: Or have we not reached that line yet? 1391 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 8: There haven't been any discussions about that. As I say, 1392 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,440 Speaker 8: We've got the natural Hazard scheme there, and we always 1393 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 8: encourage people that if they can take out insurance, they should. 1394 01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,680 Speaker 2: Okay, so when do we draw a line because Simon 1395 01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,640 Speaker 2: wats As indicated we will be When. 1396 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: Will that be? 1397 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 8: Well, certainly, as I've said, we're not having discussions about 1398 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 8: it in the context of the recent weather events. We 1399 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 8: have that National Insurance Commission there for a reason. It's 1400 01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 8: there to provide limited coverage in the event of hazardous 1401 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 8: natural hazards that earthquaker weather. 1402 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,280 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about that necessarily, the weather that we 1403 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,679 Speaker 2: were struck with just recently. I'm just meaning in general. 1404 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 2: So we clearly haven't drawn a line just yet. At 1405 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 2: what point are we talking five years, ten years, fifteen years, 1406 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:30,960 Speaker 2: twenty years. 1407 01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:33,960 Speaker 8: Well, well, in a sense, we have really clear policy 1408 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,559 Speaker 8: settings and that is why I'm continuing to refer back 1409 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 8: to the Natural Hazards Fund because in New Zealand, if 1410 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,040 Speaker 8: you own a property, generally, if you've got a mortgage, 1411 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,560 Speaker 8: your bank requires you to have insurance, and at the 1412 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,760 Speaker 8: point you have insurance, you also have some government cover 1413 01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,160 Speaker 8: for damage to your land and buildings that may occur, 1414 01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,720 Speaker 8: so that insurance is there. And our message has been 1415 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 8: a really clear one, which is you don't want to 1416 01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,679 Speaker 8: be in a situation where people who don't get insurance 1417 01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 8: get paid out, whereas those people have paid their premiums 1418 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 8: their whole life get the same amount of coverage. So 1419 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,200 Speaker 8: there is a bit of moral hazard there if you 1420 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 8: start covering people who chose not to ensure. 1421 01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 2: But we do cover people who chose not to ensure, right, 1422 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 2: We do this all the time. So this is why 1423 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,680 Speaker 2: I I mean, the default at the moment is if 1424 01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,720 Speaker 2: you really really need help and you've got absolutely no 1425 01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 2: one else to turn to, you can turn to the 1426 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 2: government and they'll buy your house. That's the default, at 1427 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:28,559 Speaker 2: least in people's minds. 1428 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,040 Speaker 8: When are we going to change that, Well, as I've 1429 01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 8: said that, certainly not in discussions in the context of and. 1430 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,479 Speaker 2: Need to have discussions about that, because we cannot keep 1431 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,080 Speaker 2: buying people's stuff. It's going to cost us billions of dollars. 1432 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,360 Speaker 8: Well, i'd put it to you the other way around, 1433 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 8: which is to say we need to send a clear 1434 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,120 Speaker 8: message that actually, when you choose where to buy your home, 1435 01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,799 Speaker 8: part of the assessment you need to make is about 1436 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,760 Speaker 8: whether that is a safe place to have your home. Now, 1437 01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 8: the council has a really important and our government actually 1438 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 8: in January this year made very clear directives to every 1439 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,280 Speaker 8: local government authority that they need to make it clear 1440 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,120 Speaker 8: on their maps where the hazards are, what the risks 1441 01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 8: are to property, whether from flooding and in ditation, sea 1442 01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,840 Speaker 8: level rise, other risks, so that bars can be aware 1443 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 8: when they go to purchase a property what risks come 1444 01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 8: with it, and then they need to make their purchasing 1445 01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:27,080 Speaker 8: and insurance decisions accordingly. And we've seen the insurance companies 1446 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:30,760 Speaker 8: moving in this space. They're in some cases increasing their 1447 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 8: levees in areas which are higher risk, and in some 1448 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,879 Speaker 8: cases there's evidence that's starting to be reflected in property prices. 1449 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:39,760 Speaker 8: That is to say, people aren't paying as much for 1450 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 8: properties in flood planing areas or areas where there may 1451 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 8: be sea level rise. 1452 01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 2: In the future. Okay, what is the consideration at the moment, 1453 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,520 Speaker 2: Why are we taking our time with the Trump administration, 1454 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 2: Mineral strategy business. Why don't we just sign the thing? 1455 01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,880 Speaker 8: Oh well, New Zealand has been having discussions with the 1456 01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:03,000 Speaker 8: United States alongside men the other countries about critical minerals. 1457 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,599 Speaker 8: Of course, the US has concluded agreements with some countries, 1458 01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 8: but I understand they're underway and discussions with around forty 1459 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,640 Speaker 8: other countries, and we're working our way through this to 1460 01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,679 Speaker 8: see what we can get. That's a framework that progresses 1461 01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 8: New Zealand's economic growth and resilience. And of course we're 1462 01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,519 Speaker 8: just talking through the detail of that this offer. 1463 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 2: It's signing one of these deals. Does it preclude us 1464 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 2: from selling the same stuff to China? Because it's a 1465 01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,519 Speaker 2: China The US game here, isn't it? So if we 1466 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,120 Speaker 2: sign it, do we have to sell it so the 1467 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:33,360 Speaker 2: good guys are not to China? 1468 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 8: Well, New Zealand's approach is not aimed at any country. 1469 01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:40,439 Speaker 8: It's grounded in our own trade and economic interests. And 1470 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 8: it has been a condition of all of these deals 1471 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:45,800 Speaker 8: that the United States has done with other countries that 1472 01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:46,879 Speaker 8: they are non binding. 1473 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 2: Okay, so it will not stop us selling it to others. 1474 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,720 Speaker 8: Well, as I say, we haven't signed up to a 1475 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:58,000 Speaker 8: framework yet, and what we're doing is pursuing our strong 1476 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 8: interest and developing the critical minerals. If we've got really 1477 01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 8: valuable things under the ground, we do want to see 1478 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,760 Speaker 8: people investing in responsibly mining those for use. That's good 1479 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,479 Speaker 8: for the economy and we do want to see New 1480 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,560 Speaker 8: Zealanders getting jobs and it comes out of that. So 1481 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 8: working with the US and others to do that makes sense. 1482 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 2: Do we know how much we've got under the ground, Like, 1483 01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:17,000 Speaker 2: have we quantified it? 1484 01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,559 Speaker 8: Well, there is some mapping that's gone on, but that's 1485 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 8: actually an area that the Ministry for Business is looking 1486 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 8: into more to get some more information about exactly what 1487 01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 8: we do have in New Zealand and going to take. 1488 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 1: Well. 1489 01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,040 Speaker 8: Of course, naturally people tend to do that investigation when 1490 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,320 Speaker 8: they're deciding to explore for themselves. And we have a 1491 01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,559 Speaker 8: goal as a government to increase our exports of minerals 1492 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,560 Speaker 8: and resources because we think that that's a source of 1493 01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 8: considerable wealth for the future. 1494 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:50,680 Speaker 2: Okay, how long is it going to take to find 1495 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 2: out how much we've got under there? Like are we 1496 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:52,960 Speaker 2: talking gears or months? 1497 01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,960 Speaker 8: Well, we do have some information, but there's it's always 1498 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,960 Speaker 8: a matter of getting more information. When people look into 1499 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 8: to a particular geographic location where there might have been 1500 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,599 Speaker 8: some indicative data that says there's some and then they 1501 01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,040 Speaker 8: might explore it further to see, well, just how dense 1502 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 8: is it, how much is there? What would be the 1503 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 8: extraction and processing required to get it out? 1504 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:14,800 Speaker 2: Did you see the Herald analysis on the fees free 1505 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:15,800 Speaker 2: policy last week? 1506 01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 1: Yes? I did? 1507 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,599 Speaker 8: And you know what I told you so, I said 1508 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,120 Speaker 8: the minute Labor announced that policy. This is not going 1509 01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:27,640 Speaker 8: to help a single child from an underprivileged background to. 1510 01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:29,960 Speaker 2: No, no, no, don't do that. Don't be doing that. 1511 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 2: Why haven't you cut it? 1512 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:31,280 Speaker 14: Then? 1513 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 8: Well, because we've completely changed the policy and as in 1514 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:37,680 Speaker 8: our agreement with New Zealand first, instead of getting a 1515 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,559 Speaker 8: first year fees free, well no, but hei to hear 1516 01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,120 Speaker 8: me out. Because your listeners may not be aware of this, 1517 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:44,440 Speaker 8: and you've just switched. 1518 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,200 Speaker 2: It change to the last year. You don't have to 1519 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:47,800 Speaker 2: over explain it. It's pretty small. 1520 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,920 Speaker 8: It's a pretty big difference because here's the thing. You 1521 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,679 Speaker 8: can only get it if you complete the qualification whatever. 1522 01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,759 Speaker 8: What we don't want to be doing is paying people 1523 01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 8: to have a hear and have some fun. 1524 01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,080 Speaker 2: It does make a difference if the first three. 1525 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,439 Speaker 8: Well, it considerably reduces the cost here this, so it 1526 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 8: makes a difference from my perspective looking at the box. 1527 01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,680 Speaker 8: That's for sure for everyone who just wants to have 1528 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,880 Speaker 8: some fun for a year. We're actually only going to 1529 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,559 Speaker 8: help people with the fees for that final year if 1530 01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:14,800 Speaker 8: they complete their past time. 1531 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 2: I spoke to you about it, and you said you 1532 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:17,960 Speaker 2: were going to talk to Uncle Winston and find out 1533 01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 2: whether you were allowed to cut it. Have you had 1534 01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:20,480 Speaker 2: that conversation. 1535 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,800 Speaker 8: I have spoken with his office and Love indicated that 1536 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,840 Speaker 8: the coalition agreement stands. What National agreed with New Zealand 1537 01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,000 Speaker 8: first was that we would change fees free to final 1538 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:32,280 Speaker 8: years fees free. 1539 01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,840 Speaker 2: And you're allowed to won't leave you. 1540 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,800 Speaker 8: They have They've indicated they're not very interested in that 1541 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,320 Speaker 8: at this moment, and of course my job is to 1542 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 8: go and find the money so that we can invest 1543 01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:44,640 Speaker 8: in defense force capability. 1544 01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:48,160 Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's enough that you got the answer 1545 01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,680 Speaker 2: that I wanted. Next question is are you going to 1546 01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:53,240 Speaker 2: campaign on this or would you consider it after the 1547 01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,840 Speaker 2: next election if you're free of Winston, would you cut it? 1548 01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 1: Well? 1549 01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,360 Speaker 8: I think we do need to look at whether it 1550 01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,320 Speaker 8: achieves anything, and I'm conscious that we have a really 1551 01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:07,040 Speaker 8: high rate of subsidy for New Zealand tertiary students. The 1552 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:10,639 Speaker 8: government pays north of seventy five percent of the overall 1553 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 8: cost of your tertiary education. People think you're paying for 1554 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,760 Speaker 8: it because you're borrowing alone. Well, that's only for about 1555 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,480 Speaker 8: twenty five percent of the cost. The government cubbily subsidizing 1556 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 8: the rest. Well, Look, that's something that our caucus will 1557 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,840 Speaker 8: have to consider, but I'm of the view that we 1558 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:25,960 Speaker 8: should always be looking to see that dollars are having 1559 01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:26,960 Speaker 8: the maximum impact. 1560 01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,360 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Nicola, appreciate it.

That 1568 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 2: was useless? She had no answers. Look, I'm not going 1569 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,839 Speaker 2: to lie that I am feeling a bit of frustration 1570 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 2: at the minute, and I do hope things get better 1571 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:06,559 Speaker 2: over the coming weeks as we get closer to election, 1572 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,280 Speaker 2: because I don't I only dealt with three of the 1573 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,800 Speaker 2: many topics that I wanted to talk to Nicola about, 1574 01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:14,920 Speaker 2: and I literally know nothing. I do not have answerstanding. 1575 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,519 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to stop the weather 1576 01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:20,800 Speaker 2: related buyouts. I do not know if the government knows 1577 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 2: how much we've got in terms of critical minerals under 1578 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 2: the ground or when they're going to know. I do 1579 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 2: not know if the National Party is going to consider 1580 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,320 Speaker 2: cutting fees free after the next election. So I literally 1581 01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 2: know nothing. So to the point useless interview, It does 1582 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 2: feel a little bit like that from my perspective, but 1583 01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:37,960 Speaker 2: you know, we live in hope, maybe just a bit 1584 01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:41,960 Speaker 2: rusty after the old summer break nineteen past six. Shane 1585 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 2: solely harbor Asset Management is with me, Elo Shane, Yeah, hello, 1586 01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 2: so going good, Thank you mate. Kevin Walsh is the 1587 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,720 Speaker 2: peck Trump's pick for the US Federal Reserve chair. What 1588 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 2: do you reckon this means for investors? 1589 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,920 Speaker 20: Well, yeah, hockey. So mister Walsh's see has been less 1590 01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,760 Speaker 20: supportive of deep breakcaps in more worry about inflations in 1591 01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,360 Speaker 20: central bank and speak he's more hawkish, more conservative, than 1592 01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:08,000 Speaker 20: some of the other appointees that mister Trump was considering 1593 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 20: back in the GFC pack past, you know, with the 1594 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 20: global fundancial crisis two thousand and two thousand and six 1595 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,400 Speaker 20: to two thousand and eleven, he acted as the central 1596 01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 20: banks behind the scenes guy with Wall Street, so he's 1597 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,000 Speaker 20: got good credibility, but he's actually come out to I 1598 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 20: didn't like what happened. I have to bail out that. 1599 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,680 Speaker 20: All this quantity of easing that didn't get the right 1600 01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:32,160 Speaker 20: signals actually distilled a price and encourage his excessive risk taking. 1601 01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 20: So him coming in is quite an interesting choice. He 1602 01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,559 Speaker 20: is definitely not going to be this guy that's going 1603 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:41,559 Speaker 20: to look to bail out businesses like back the post UFC. 1604 01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 2: So quite different, and so how have the markets reacted 1605 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 2: to it? 1606 01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 20: Yeah, because he's a bit more hawkish, bit more conservative. 1607 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:51,200 Speaker 20: We've actually seen the US dollar rally, you know, has 1608 01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 20: been under a lot of pressure. It's been quite weak 1609 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,200 Speaker 20: over January, and we've seen a massive sell off in 1610 01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:58,120 Speaker 20: the gold and silver prices because of mister wash is 1611 01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 20: a bit more hawkish. Back on Friday when this came out, 1612 01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:05,559 Speaker 20: US money markets didn't make big changes, the interest rates 1613 01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,759 Speaker 20: didn't move around a heck of a lot still picking 1614 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:09,240 Speaker 20: two fed rate caps. 1615 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,920 Speaker 1: In twenty six, as. 1616 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,560 Speaker 20: I say, we did see commodity prices come onder a 1617 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,960 Speaker 20: bit of pressure, and that's actually continued today here. That so, 1618 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,439 Speaker 20: we've seen gold and silver down another ten percent today. 1619 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,559 Speaker 20: Gold's actually down almost fourteen percent in the last few days, 1620 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:27,679 Speaker 20: down to just under four thy six hundred dollars US 1621 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,680 Speaker 20: an ounce, and silver has gone from one hundred and 1622 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,280 Speaker 20: sixteen dollars an ounce to seventy seven A lot of 1623 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 20: speculation coming out of the not much reaction here in 1624 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:38,120 Speaker 20: New Zealand, pretty quiet, but there is a little bit 1625 01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,200 Speaker 20: of we're going to be careful that mister Wash, he 1626 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 20: may not be as hawkish as we all think he is. 1627 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,200 Speaker 20: There's already this change of we may be in a 1628 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,519 Speaker 20: washing machine, play on mister WASH's name for a little 1629 01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 20: while until we know how this policy starts roll through. 1630 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,880 Speaker 20: But nonetheless we've seen a bit of a bit of 1631 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 20: a reaction, and particularly in those commodity prices. 1632 01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:01,320 Speaker 2: Hey, now cat Nando's provided a training update today, had 1633 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 2: the market react to that? 1634 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,080 Speaker 20: Yeah, Look, cam Mande is obviously a bit of a 1635 01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,479 Speaker 20: being under some pressure. They've been fixing the business turning 1636 01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 20: around work a lot harder, better numbers, better sales numbers, 1637 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,639 Speaker 20: a bit like Michael Hall last week better Michael Whill 1638 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,000 Speaker 20: also come out with better sales numbers, but they both 1639 01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,559 Speaker 20: had to cut profit margins to do it. So cutting 1640 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:25,840 Speaker 20: prices to stimulating activity, more promotional activity. So in kamp 1641 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:29,639 Speaker 20: Mandu's case, their gross margin foul one percent to fifty 1642 01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 20: six point seven percent. They're sort of held their earnings 1643 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:38,000 Speaker 20: profit guidance, which is positive. Better sales number. That's important 1644 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,360 Speaker 20: at the moment. That is about them rebuilding confidence and 1645 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 20: investors that they can grow. I didn't stop the share 1646 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:46,880 Speaker 20: price from falling, and our unfortunately the down three point 1647 01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 20: six percent to twenty seven cents per year. 1648 01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 2: Bringing Hey, listen, thanks for running us throught Shane, always 1649 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,760 Speaker 2: appreciate your time.

Apparently we're mentioned like 1656 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,479 Speaker 2: as in New Zealand. The words New Zealand are mentioned 1657 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,519 Speaker 2: in the Epstein files about a thousand times. There's nothing 1658 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 2: special there, but you'll remember, if you've been following this situation, 1659 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,759 Speaker 2: there's a New Zealand couple, Bryce and Karen Gordon, who've 1660 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 2: already been outed as having worked on one of his 1661 01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,960 Speaker 2: ranches in New Mexico. According to these documents, they didn't 1662 01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,080 Speaker 2: just work there, they also worked at Little Saint James, 1663 01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 2: which is his creep island. They basically were a couple 1664 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,080 Speaker 2: who they were so particular in the way that they 1665 01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,200 Speaker 2: looked after him that he would kind of send them 1666 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,800 Speaker 2: ahead to whatever destination he was coming to next, and 1667 01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:45,640 Speaker 2: they would prepare it for him to his liking. And 1668 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,880 Speaker 2: so they apparently ended up managing this infamous island for 1669 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:52,560 Speaker 2: a period, and during the period the prosecutor say that 1670 01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,640 Speaker 2: he's sex trafficked women and girls. None of the documents 1671 01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 2: indicate or alleged that the couple were involved in any 1672 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,920 Speaker 2: of the offending at all. But watch, there's going to 1673 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,280 Speaker 2: be just like drip, drip, drip of interesting information depending 1674 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 2: on your definition of interesting, for the next few weeks. 1675 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:07,879 Speaker 2: I'd imagine six twenty six. 1676 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 1: There's no business like show business. I ah hair. 1677 01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,639 Speaker 2: So music news today is that Lily Allen is coming 1678 01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 2: here for a one off concert. Now, why you want 1679 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:21,559 Speaker 2: to go to Lily Allen The following reasons. Number One, 1680 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,120 Speaker 2: her new album is not bad.

That's the 1683 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 2: album's name. Also, there's the goss. This album documents the 1684 01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,560 Speaker 2: breakdown of her marriage to Stranger Things David Harbor, and 1685 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,600 Speaker 2: it all started to fall apart when David met the 1686 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,400 Speaker 2: costume designer Natalie Probably on the set. And then Lily 1687 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,920 Speaker 2: gives Natalie the nickname Madeline on her album, and although 1688 01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 2: we all know who's who's, Natalie refuses to make a statement. 1689 01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,320 Speaker 15: Natalie has been reached out to by media outlets and 1690 01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:54,520 Speaker 15: she says that she doesn't feel comfortable talking about. 1691 01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:57,799 Speaker 2: This song Madeline, and that it's a little bit scary. 1692 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 2: So you might get a little bit of goss, might 1693 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,200 Speaker 2: get a bit of snark if you're there. Also, you 1694 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:03,840 Speaker 2: might cop an eye full of her feet. 1695 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:04,000 Speaker 7: Now. 1696 01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this, but Lily Allen's 1697 01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:09,479 Speaker 2: feet have an account on only fans keep the porn website. 1698 01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,880 Speaker 2: They have an account on only fans and she makes 1699 01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,960 Speaker 2: more money off her feet than she makes off her music. 1700 01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,320 Speaker 2: So I don't know do you need to be Do 1701 01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:19,599 Speaker 2: you need any more convincing that you should be at 1702 01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 2: this concert? 1703 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:20,720 Speaker 1: Right? 1704 01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 2: We're going to deal next with christ Church City Council 1705 01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 2: and it's selling of the assets and whatnot. Deal with 1706 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,000 Speaker 2: it next.

The Business Hour with Header Duper c 1710 01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 1: Allen and Mass Insurance and Investments, Your futures in good 1711 01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:49,800 Speaker 1: hands Used Talks, EDB. 1712 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 5: Mister, Right, We're going. 1713 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:01,080 Speaker 2: To go to the UK and ten minutes time, and 1714 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,360 Speaker 2: all the talk there, of course is Andrew Andrew, Andrew 1715 01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:06,840 Speaker 2: and Kier Starmer and Epstein. So we'll deal with that 1716 01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:09,840 Speaker 2: in just a tick. If you don't like Ikea buying 1717 01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,000 Speaker 2: the forests, and I've got text along those lines last week, 1718 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,120 Speaker 2: you probably won't love this news. The investment arm of 1719 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,599 Speaker 2: Ike's parent company wants to more than double its ownership 1720 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,800 Speaker 2: of New Zealand Forestry to one hundred thousand hectares, and 1721 01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,280 Speaker 2: the reason for that is because it's a nice round number, 1722 01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,000 Speaker 2: they say, twenty four away from seven. Now it looks 1723 01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:28,640 Speaker 2: like christ Church is about to head into a bit 1724 01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 2: of an asset selling debate. Christ Church City Council's commercial 1725 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,840 Speaker 2: arm has floated selling some assets to pay for others, 1726 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,920 Speaker 2: in particular selling the broadband business in city Care and 1727 01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,679 Speaker 2: then taking over more of the airport. Now. Sam McDonald 1728 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 2: is a christ Church City councilor. 1729 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:42,840 Speaker 10: And is with us. 1730 01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 2: Now, Hi, Sam, Hi, here the how are you? 1731 01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:45,360 Speaker 1: Well? 1732 01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:45,559 Speaker 8: Thanks? 1733 01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:46,559 Speaker 2: Mate? Do you like this idea? 1734 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 3: We'll look. 1735 01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,320 Speaker 15: I cheered the Finance committee at christ Church City Council 1736 01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 15: and there's obviously some pressure on you know, really what 1737 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,400 Speaker 15: we're doing for our budgeting purposes, so we're going to 1738 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,120 Speaker 15: have to do something. But you know, this isn't wholesale. 1739 01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,960 Speaker 15: Asset seals was effectively just a letter from the chair 1740 01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,599 Speaker 15: of our holding this company, which you would expect, signaling 1741 01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:06,960 Speaker 15: that actually we need to work through challenges as they 1742 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,559 Speaker 15: come up. So pretty relaxed about it. They're obviously full 1743 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 15: public consultation, but no decisions have been made. 1744 01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,200 Speaker 2: Okay, would you support selling enable the broadband business? 1745 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,840 Speaker 15: Look well, I've floated the idea some time ago, because 1746 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 15: if you think about our portfolio, just for people listening, 1747 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,640 Speaker 15: there's about five billion dollars worth of vesis that sit 1748 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 15: within there. We get between sixty five and seventy five 1749 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 15: million dollars in the hand each year at council to 1750 01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,439 Speaker 15: offset raids. And if you look at them, there are 1751 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,639 Speaker 15: three which are regulated monopoly. So you've got your port, 1752 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,360 Speaker 15: your airport, and a Ryan and then you could say, well, 1753 01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:39,880 Speaker 15: actually enable sits there a really good company built from 1754 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,600 Speaker 15: scratching christ Church. But actually, if you look at the 1755 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 15: technology risk, it's probably the one that isn't as regulated, 1756 01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,840 Speaker 15: and you know, if you're looking long term, maybe that's 1757 01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 15: the one that isn't necessarily need to be held by 1758 01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,360 Speaker 15: the people of christ Church. So you could you could 1759 01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:54,360 Speaker 15: restructure that in a way and I think, you know, 1760 01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 15: that's something that I think would make sense. 1761 01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,280 Speaker 2: And City Care be happy to sell it. 1762 01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:00,840 Speaker 15: Oh, look on least worry about that. I mean, if 1763 01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:02,680 Speaker 15: you look at it, it's not as material in the 1764 01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,160 Speaker 15: scheme of our book. You know, really you want to 1765 01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:08,160 Speaker 15: protect those three core assets for christ Church. The airport, 1766 01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 15: you know, you really want to grow the port, that's 1767 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,479 Speaker 15: a lifeline to the South Island and we need to 1768 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:14,559 Speaker 15: invest in that. And then you've obviously got power which 1769 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 15: is core critical and continuing to grow. So you know 1770 01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 15: it's probably not the one right away, but actually if 1771 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,080 Speaker 15: you look at it, enable was the one that logically 1772 01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,560 Speaker 15: makes sense because what you could do is, you know, 1773 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,280 Speaker 15: put it to the market. And again this is just 1774 01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:28,360 Speaker 15: my idea. This isn't even the holdings companies. This is 1775 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,400 Speaker 15: just what I think and I'm a chart account by trade, 1776 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:31,680 Speaker 15: so I look at it and go, how do we 1777 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:33,320 Speaker 15: get the best return for the people of christ Church. 1778 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,559 Speaker 15: You would take take the money, tay down the historic 1779 01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,640 Speaker 15: earthquake debt that sits on the balance sheet of the 1780 01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,439 Speaker 15: holdings company, use the difference to put it into a 1781 01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,559 Speaker 15: bit of a future fund but like Auckland have done, 1782 01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:46,120 Speaker 15: and then that will throw a dividend every year at council. 1783 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,120 Speaker 15: I think you'd probably get another thirty million a year, 1784 01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,680 Speaker 15: which you know, in our rate camping environment is going 1785 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:52,760 Speaker 15: to be necessary so we don't need to close things. 1786 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:55,240 Speaker 15: So you know, there's a real I think the people 1787 01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,519 Speaker 15: of christ Hitch will come along on having a conversation 1788 01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,160 Speaker 15: about it, because it's not core critical to what the 1789 01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,800 Speaker 15: people of christ each expect us to own. And you know, 1790 01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,000 Speaker 15: I think it's worth him a conversation. 1791 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:06,720 Speaker 2: Look, it makes sense, but there is something I mean 1792 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,559 Speaker 2: people get funny about today. They get really weird about 1793 01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,760 Speaker 2: asset sales. Do you think you might just lose the 1794 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,120 Speaker 2: argument on account of the words asset sales? 1795 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 14: Well? 1796 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 15: I think, you know, we just need to really cognizant 1797 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,960 Speaker 15: in a rates environment, rates keeping environment that you know, 1798 01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,120 Speaker 15: there are hard choices and there's only so much money 1799 01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,360 Speaker 15: to go around. You know, I look at it and go, Actually, 1800 01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 15: if you've got more money to spend to invest and 1801 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 15: grow the port, you know, potentially the airport, and continue 1802 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 15: to invest in the lines company Ryan, actually they're far 1803 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:34,880 Speaker 15: better being for buck, for christ Huch and Canterbury going forward, 1804 01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,040 Speaker 15: and if you can offset people's rate increases when you know, 1805 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 15: I reckon if you went out on the streets of 1806 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 15: christ Each now and said, hey, what do you think 1807 01:26:41,280 --> 01:26:43,720 Speaker 15: about the public or the councilor owning a enable, they'd 1808 01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 15: go what's enable? And I didn't know we owned it? 1809 01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:48,560 Speaker 15: Whereas if you talked about the port a Ryan or 1810 01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:50,640 Speaker 15: the airport, you know quite rightly because I don't want 1811 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:52,400 Speaker 15: to sell them either. There are things that I think 1812 01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 15: need to be held in that public ownership, So you know, 1813 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:56,760 Speaker 15: I think it's worth a conversation having at the end 1814 01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:58,479 Speaker 15: of the day. You know, I've kind of I've been 1815 01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:00,600 Speaker 15: in the role six years now and you're looking at 1816 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 15: it and go, at some point we need to have 1817 01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,400 Speaker 15: these courageous conversations or else we're just going to keep 1818 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:05,679 Speaker 15: taking more and more money off people. 1819 01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:07,400 Speaker 2: Well, Sam, good luck with the argument, and I don't 1820 01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,400 Speaker 2: think if anybody can can convince people, it may well 1821 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 2: be you. Thank you very much, Sam McDonald, christ Church 1822 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:15,560 Speaker 2: City councilor twenty away from seven Heather Duplicy Ellen on 1823 01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,120 Speaker 2: just just quickly on the subject of counsels, because I 1824 01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:21,000 Speaker 2: give counsels a lot of grief and I think we're 1825 01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:25,960 Speaker 2: like nobody care no, nobody, very few people would listen to. 1826 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:26,320 Speaker 5: That a goal. 1827 01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:28,880 Speaker 2: That's unfair on the councils. But we should also give 1828 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 2: bouquets and can I give one to Auckland mayor welling 1829 01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 2: Away Brown because you know, say what you like about him, 1830 01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 2: he does have some pretty efficient ways of getting things 1831 01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,160 Speaker 2: done and he wrote a column over the weekend. I 1832 01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:40,560 Speaker 2: had a read of it and I thought, this is 1833 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,840 Speaker 2: this is this is simple and often the simplest things 1834 01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:46,400 Speaker 2: are the best ideas. He gives his staff rules, and 1835 01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,559 Speaker 2: this is what he says. First rule is before they 1836 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:52,040 Speaker 2: try to do something, he makes them ask themselves, what 1837 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 2: is the problem that you are fixing. If you can't 1838 01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,920 Speaker 2: explain or define that, then don't do anything and stop 1839 01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,600 Speaker 2: wasting time and money until you know what problem is. 1840 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,120 Speaker 2: Once you know what you are fixing, the next question 1841 01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:07,719 Speaker 2: is can you do it better? Cheaper and faster? And honestly, surely, 1842 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 2: to God, most of us should be employing that in 1843 01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 2: our lives in general, and it would be wonderful if 1844 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,439 Speaker 2: more counsels and the public service would think exactly that 1845 01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:16,320 Speaker 2: same way. So he's got some good advice for everybody there. Now, 1846 01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 2: you know I love a concert, right, so I'm very 1847 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 2: happy to tell you that it is concerts that have 1848 01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:25,200 Speaker 2: helped Eden Park lift its profit. So they reported for 1849 01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 2: the year ended October thirty one last year and the 1850 01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,800 Speaker 2: profit's up five point six percent to more than thirty 1851 01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:34,600 Speaker 2: million dollars. Our Coldplay was in that period, So this 1852 01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:37,360 Speaker 2: is the period that captures the cold Play concerts. And 1853 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,560 Speaker 2: then Luke Colmb's as well. This year. I'm sorry to 1854 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,559 Speaker 2: say absolutely no surprise to anyone at all. This year 1855 01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,640 Speaker 2: is not looking that flash because we do not have 1856 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:50,400 Speaker 2: a lot of concerts right. We don't have the Lady 1857 01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,640 Speaker 2: Gargas and the Taylor Swifts coming in. I mean, look, 1858 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 2: some of these people be outside the period, but it's 1859 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,800 Speaker 2: just just generally to give you the vibe of where 1860 01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 2: the concert's going Australia. We don't have the Oasis, we 1861 01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,400 Speaker 2: don't have the Harry Styles, So twenty twenty six is 1862 01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:07,320 Speaker 2: not looking good. They did have the Jehovah's Witness Congress 1863 01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,080 Speaker 2: in January and they also have the Edinburgh Tattoo set 1864 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,320 Speaker 2: to perform at the end of February, but you know 1865 01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:15,519 Speaker 2: that probably gives you. It gives you a bit of 1866 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 2: an idea of the situation. However, it is good news 1867 01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,280 Speaker 2: because I heard on the Grape Fine that while twenty 1868 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,200 Speaker 2: twenty six is not looking that flash because we're basically 1869 01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:28,920 Speaker 2: irrelevant the words that was used, next year is looking 1870 01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:31,360 Speaker 2: a lot better because the government has set aside the 1871 01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 2: major events funding money right that our favorite Bogan, Louise 1872 01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 2: Upston is wanting to throw out everything to try and 1873 01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:38,680 Speaker 2: get things over to New Zealand and because there is 1874 01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:40,960 Speaker 2: a lag between You've got the money, right, you got 1875 01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:42,840 Speaker 2: the money, and you go to Harry Stalzigan. I've got 1876 01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,280 Speaker 2: the money, Harry goes mate. I already had this locked 1877 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,800 Speaker 2: in ages ago. We didn't even factor you in. But 1878 01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:50,920 Speaker 2: now they know the money's out there. So for concerts 1879 01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,559 Speaker 2: that are going to be happening in twenty twenty seven, 1880 01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:55,760 Speaker 2: we may well actually be getting a few of them 1881 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,840 Speaker 2: heading our way because of those dollars. Anyway, the lesson 1882 01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:01,519 Speaker 2: I'm trying to impart you is don't complain about the 1883 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,519 Speaker 2: concerts at Eden Park. You need to embrace them because 1884 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:07,360 Speaker 2: they are earning the place quite a few dollars, which 1885 01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:09,280 Speaker 2: we're happy about. Seventeen away from seven. 1886 01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:13,160 Speaker 1: Ever, it's to do with money. It matters to you. 1887 01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:17,680 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Heather Duplicy Allen and Mayor's Insurance 1888 01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:21,960 Speaker 1: and Investments, Your futures in good hands, News Talk zi'd be. 1889 01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:24,680 Speaker 2: It's fourteen away from seven and Mike Pierce, a UK 1890 01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:25,840 Speaker 2: correspondence with us. 1891 01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:28,479 Speaker 3: Hello, Mike, very good evening to you. 1892 01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:30,720 Speaker 2: Right, so the Lord Mandelson thing has really taken over 1893 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 2: with you guys. 1894 01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:35,960 Speaker 3: Own Yes, indeed, this story actually going to overdrive with 1895 01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:36,800 Speaker 3: the UK media. 1896 01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:37,000 Speaker 9: Now. 1897 01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:39,240 Speaker 3: Of course, it's all around the US Department of Justice 1898 01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:42,080 Speaker 3: releasing more than three million pages of the Epstein files. Now, 1899 01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 3: in particular, it all started with the release of three 1900 01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 3: photographs showing Andrew Mountain Batten Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, 1901 01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,559 Speaker 3: on his hands and knees over a woman on a floor. 1902 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:53,200 Speaker 3: She's fully closed. It's not known who she is or 1903 01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:57,400 Speaker 3: where these pictures were taken. Now, following that the big 1904 01:30:57,439 --> 01:31:01,320 Speaker 3: story hitting here another image show the former UK Ambassador 1905 01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,320 Speaker 3: to America, Lord Peter Mandelsson in his underpants with a 1906 01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,200 Speaker 3: woman in a bathrobe. He's also said to have been 1907 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,800 Speaker 3: given seventy five thousand dollars by Epstein. Of course, Mandelssohn 1908 01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:13,880 Speaker 3: has for forty years been a leading politician here in 1909 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,720 Speaker 3: the UK, architect of the Tony Blair government. He has 1910 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:20,400 Speaker 3: now resigned from the Labor Party he's represented for those 1911 01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:23,840 Speaker 3: forty years. Mandalsson says he is no relocation of any 1912 01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 3: of this. Epstein, of the course, was found dead on 1913 01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:30,200 Speaker 3: his Manhattan please sell in August twenty nineteen, shortly after 1914 01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:33,519 Speaker 3: being arrested for sex trafficking charges with young Mimy a 1915 01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,080 Speaker 3: story making massive headlines here in the UK. 1916 01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 2: I can tell you now tell me so. Obviously, Mandelssohn 1917 01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:43,080 Speaker 2: has been asked to give evidence in the US, as 1918 01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:47,880 Speaker 2: has Andrew Would it rescue his reputation to some extent 1919 01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:52,880 Speaker 2: if he was seen to be helping investigators over there, Well, 1920 01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:53,200 Speaker 2: I think, to. 1921 01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 3: Be absolutely honest, Mandelsson actually. 1922 01:31:57,960 --> 01:31:58,000 Speaker 1: Is. 1923 01:31:58,040 --> 01:32:01,200 Speaker 3: I think a lot of the opposition party have criticized him. 1924 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,000 Speaker 3: I think when he was sent to the US as 1925 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:05,200 Speaker 3: an ambassador that was a bit of a surprise by 1926 01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 3: secure Starmer. But as I say, I mean over the 1927 01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 3: years he has really been while I've had biggest politicians. 1928 01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:14,240 Speaker 3: You know, he is saying he has no recollition of 1929 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:19,679 Speaker 3: this at all. Andrews also said, you know, repeatedly he's 1930 01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,479 Speaker 3: denied any of the suggestions that have come out of 1931 01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:24,559 Speaker 3: any wrongdoing. So I think we just have to wait 1932 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:27,320 Speaker 3: and see what happens. But yeah, will they go to 1933 01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,240 Speaker 3: the US and give evidence. We'll have to wait and see. 1934 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,840 Speaker 2: I think, now what's gone on with the Ukrainian meeting? 1935 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:32,960 Speaker 2: Has it not taken place? 1936 01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:34,200 Speaker 13: Well? 1937 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,599 Speaker 3: I think hopes of peace, you know, really have had 1938 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,160 Speaker 3: a major setback. Now, talks between the United States Russia 1939 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:42,320 Speaker 3: and Ukraine were canceled at the last minute yesterday. He 1940 01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,360 Speaker 3: thought the US dispute with Iran is the reason, taking 1941 01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 3: up the time with some of their diplomats. 1942 01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:47,000 Speaker 1: Now. 1943 01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,960 Speaker 3: Donald Trump also claimed at the end of last week 1944 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,000 Speaker 3: that Russia had agreed to a one week ceasefire due 1945 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:53,959 Speaker 3: to the very cold. 1946 01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:05,439 Speaker 2: I wondered how long it was going to take. The 1947 01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:10,160 Speaker 2: cold weather appears to have cut us off. Listen, I said, 1948 01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:12,120 Speaker 2: there's going to be stuff coming out of the Epstein ones. 1949 01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:15,200 Speaker 2: Here's another one for you. The Epstein files. They have 1950 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:20,759 Speaker 2: caught a New Zealand academic professor Brian Boyd. He doesn't 1951 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,000 Speaker 2: He does not appear to have done anything wrong. So 1952 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:24,439 Speaker 2: I just want to say that up front. It's just 1953 01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:27,360 Speaker 2: interesting the fact that he was involved in this, like 1954 01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:31,040 Speaker 2: caught in the kind of the orbit of Epstein in 1955 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:34,000 Speaker 2: a way. So Professor Brian Boyd is an expert on Nubberkoff, 1956 01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:37,519 Speaker 2: who was the author of a Lolita, the book for 1957 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:40,760 Speaker 2: which Epstein is nuts, right, because if you remember the 1958 01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:43,599 Speaker 2: weird picture where he'd written Lolita on somebody's body, he's 1959 01:33:43,680 --> 01:33:45,400 Speaker 2: totally nuts with anyway, stand by is I think we've 1960 01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 2: got Mike back and I'll finish that story. And just 1961 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:50,679 Speaker 2: to tack Mike, you're there, Yes, I am young. Sorry 1962 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:52,360 Speaker 2: you were saying something about the weather. 1963 01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,920 Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, Well, Donald Trump had said that the Russians 1964 01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,240 Speaker 3: would not be bombing Ukraine for the next week because 1965 01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:02,360 Speaker 3: of very cold weather. It's meant to be minus thirty 1966 01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:04,719 Speaker 3: this week, believe it or not. But yesterday the bombing 1967 01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:07,880 Speaker 3: has continued, with fifteen miners killed and been bombs hit 1968 01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 3: a bus. Now, recent attacks have left one point two 1969 01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:14,240 Speaker 3: million people without power. A thousand emergency shelters have been 1970 01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,040 Speaker 3: set up because of this cold weather. It's now hope 1971 01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:19,560 Speaker 3: peace talks may take place later in the week. But 1972 01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:21,320 Speaker 3: they just seem to be on and off all the time, 1973 01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:22,000 Speaker 3: don't they. 1974 01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:22,320 Speaker 1: Now. 1975 01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,200 Speaker 3: Of course, this month marks the fourth anniversary of the war, 1976 01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 3: with one point eight million people killed so far. 1977 01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:32,120 Speaker 2: What is this film that King Charles is in. 1978 01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:35,639 Speaker 3: Well, yes, he's the star of a new film, would 1979 01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,519 Speaker 3: you believe it or not that looks at his long 1980 01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:41,360 Speaker 3: campaign on the environment. The King himself gave extensive interviews 1981 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,519 Speaker 3: and filming access over a six month period. Now, of course, 1982 01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 3: the late Queen Elizabeth never gave an interview at all, 1983 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,360 Speaker 3: but that's something that the King and Queen Camilla are changing. 1984 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:53,519 Speaker 3: It's a ninety minute documentary had its premiere at Windsor 1985 01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:56,839 Speaker 3: Castle with a host of major celebrities including Kate Winslet 1986 01:34:57,040 --> 01:34:59,800 Speaker 3: and Rod Stewart. The film, in fact is launched on Wednesday. 1987 01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:03,599 Speaker 3: The King is Prince Charles's long campaigned for much more 1988 01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:07,400 Speaker 3: to be done about the environment. There's an unusual insight 1989 01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:11,479 Speaker 3: into his frustrations over the slow progress being made. He says, 1990 01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:14,400 Speaker 3: it's rapidly going backwards. I've said that for the last 1991 01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:16,920 Speaker 3: forty years. Anyway, there you go. The film was in 1992 01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:20,280 Speaker 3: fact made with the King's own charity, at the King's Trust, 1993 01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:23,280 Speaker 3: so he's still unhappy about the environment and talking out 1994 01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:24,240 Speaker 3: in this new film. 1995 01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:26,080 Speaker 2: Hey, thank you very much, Mike. I appreciate. It's Mike 1996 01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:28,800 Speaker 2: piers Ow UK correspondent. So just go back to what 1997 01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:31,840 Speaker 2: I was telling you about, which is Professor Brian Boyd. 1998 01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:33,920 Speaker 2: So he's an expert on the author of the book Lalita, 1999 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,639 Speaker 2: which Epstein has nuts for. So Ipstein it turns out, 2000 01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:39,760 Speaker 2: went to go see Boyd give a talk on this 2001 01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:41,920 Speaker 2: author some years ago, and then he had breakfast with 2002 01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 2: them afterwards, and he offered him seventy five. He'd already 2003 01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 2: written a book on Knobo coov, so ipsteins like, how much, 2004 01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:50,479 Speaker 2: how much would it cost? How much do you need 2005 01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:52,560 Speaker 2: to write another book? Because he's some other interest that 2006 01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:56,040 Speaker 2: he wants to write about another he wants to write 2007 01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:59,000 Speaker 2: a book on one of the author's books, and his 2008 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 2: sister ipsin probably fifty thousand dollars in. Epstein goes now 2009 01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,840 Speaker 2: seventy five thousand dollars. So anyway, after that they start 2010 01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:09,240 Speaker 2: an email chain. The funding never happens. Even though Professor 2011 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,760 Speaker 2: Brian Boyd gave Epstein his bank account numbers and even 2012 01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,040 Speaker 2: the swift code that you need for it, the money 2013 01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:16,760 Speaker 2: was never paid. Brian Boyd, I suppose can now look 2014 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,000 Speaker 2: back and say he dodged a massive bullet, because of course, 2015 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:22,400 Speaker 2: once you get involved financially, then well look what happened 2016 01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:24,400 Speaker 2: to Lord Peter Mandelsson. It's not very pretty at all. 2017 01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:27,040 Speaker 2: He did, actually, he said, because Steve Browney has got 2018 01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 2: in touch with him, the wonderful writer, and said to 2019 01:36:29,320 --> 01:36:31,240 Speaker 2: him earlier names come up, let's have a chat about it. 2020 01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:33,800 Speaker 2: He said, he did wonder whether his name was going 2021 01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:35,599 Speaker 2: to come up at some point, but he wasn't worried 2022 01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,280 Speaker 2: because he knew he hadn't done anything wrong. Eight away 2023 01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:38,719 Speaker 2: from seven. 2024 01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:42,840 Speaker 1: It's the Heather too for see allan Drive Full Show 2025 01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,400 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio powered by news dog Zebbi. 2026 01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:50,200 Speaker 2: Heather re Eden Park. Are you saying that if we 2027 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:52,920 Speaker 2: the taxpayers pay a small fortune, then eden Park can 2028 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 2: make a small profit. That doesn't sound like it stacks 2029 01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,080 Speaker 2: up to me. This is absolutely a fair point. This 2030 01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:00,240 Speaker 2: is the major events funding thing. Fairfair points. It's not 2031 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:01,920 Speaker 2: really the case I was trying to make. I mean, 2032 01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,719 Speaker 2: we can have an argument about taxpayer subsidies for events 2033 01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:11,400 Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, and then whether the cost benefit 2034 01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:14,320 Speaker 2: analysis is accurate, and the theory is basically if you 2035 01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:16,479 Speaker 2: put some money and then then you get heaps more back. 2036 01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:18,559 Speaker 2: We'll have a chat about that some other time. Really, 2037 01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:22,040 Speaker 2: what my argument was probably more about was if you 2038 01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:25,640 Speaker 2: have what has came very close to being something of 2039 01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:28,680 Speaker 2: a white elephant at eden Park, then surely what you 2040 01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 2: should do like release the thing and let it, let 2041 01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,080 Speaker 2: it expand its wings. And you know what I mean, 2042 01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:35,840 Speaker 2: Like there's too many rules on eden Park. They can't 2043 01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:37,720 Speaker 2: turn a buck because they can't do anything. But if 2044 01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:39,880 Speaker 2: you let them do things. Maybe they can turn a buck. Hey, 2045 01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:42,639 Speaker 2: did you know this is really weird? Katherine O'Hara, as 2046 01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:46,720 Speaker 2: in the Canadian actress who died over the weekend at 2047 01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:49,200 Speaker 2: seventy one, she of Ship's Creek and home alone. Did 2048 01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,559 Speaker 2: you know she had her heart was on the wrong 2049 01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:54,320 Speaker 2: side of her body. It's a very rare thing that happens, 2050 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,200 Speaker 2: but she had it. It's called dextrocardia, citis and versus, 2051 01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:00,840 Speaker 2: which I like a self explanatory Sorry that one one 2052 01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:05,360 Speaker 2: more time, dextrocarti, dextrocrdia citus and versus. 2053 01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:06,400 Speaker 10: And now backwards three times caued. 2054 01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:09,240 Speaker 2: Go shut up. I can't speak Latin, but that's how 2055 01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:11,320 Speaker 2: it's written. But did you know? Okay, so that's weird. 2056 01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:13,960 Speaker 2: But what's even weirder is she didn't know this until 2057 01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:15,680 Speaker 2: twenty years ago when she went to the doctor. How 2058 01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:18,080 Speaker 2: do you like, how do you not know your heart's 2059 01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:20,040 Speaker 2: on the wrong side of your body until you're fifty 2060 01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:21,400 Speaker 2: one years old? That's weird. 2061 01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,080 Speaker 10: It's sorry. I was just feeling my chest to see 2062 01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 10: which side it was beating. 2063 01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:28,080 Speaker 2: On and it wasn't beating because you're a vampire, that's right. 2064 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:32,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, they Luther were by Kendrick Lamara and Scissa 2065 01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:34,640 Speaker 10: to play us out tonight Record of the Year at 2066 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:36,800 Speaker 10: the Grammy. So I've looked up so Record of the 2067 01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,240 Speaker 10: Year is always like the one song. So what's the 2068 01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,240 Speaker 10: difference between that and Song of the Year. Well, apparently 2069 01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:43,679 Speaker 10: Record of the Year is for the recording of the song, 2070 01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,080 Speaker 10: so like, did the artist, producers and engineers who put 2071 01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 10: the song together at do a good job? And then 2072 01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,040 Speaker 10: Song of the Year is just the song itself, the composition. 2073 01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:54,120 Speaker 10: So it's like, did the person who wrote this song 2074 01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:54,960 Speaker 10: do a good job? 2075 01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:55,439 Speaker 11: Oh? 2076 01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:58,240 Speaker 10: I just need they give two awards? Like two awards done? 2077 01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:01,160 Speaker 10: Like more more people are happy, like your show fair enough, 2078 01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:01,759 Speaker 10: So that's. 2079 01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,920 Speaker 2: Like the production of the song versus the writing of 2080 01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:04,280 Speaker 2: the song. 2081 01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:06,720 Speaker 10: More or less. I feel like you could still change 2082 01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:07,920 Speaker 10: the names to make it sound. 2083 01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:09,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you explained that. You probably have to 2084 01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:11,280 Speaker 2: explain it next year because I'm going to forget that. 2085 01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:15,439 Speaker 2: You really nuanced, isn't it. Yeah that's dumb. That's a 2086 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,400 Speaker 2: dumb one, isn't it. But anyway, now we understand it, 2087 01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:21,080 Speaker 2: all right, see you tomorrow, Thank you all days. 2088 01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:22,200 Speaker 13: Coming for so much. 2089 01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:40,400 Speaker 1: If this were were mad For more from Hither Duplessy 2090 01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:43,280 Speaker 1: Allen Drive, listen live to news talks it'd be from 2091 01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,960 Speaker 1: four pm weekdays, or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio
