It's Heather 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,159 Speaker 1: Duplicy Ellen Drive with One New Zealand to coverage like 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: no one else. Newsorgs Heavy. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: Afternoon. Welcome to the show. Coming up today, Brad Olsen 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: on the unemployment number out today, The insurance Counsel's Chris 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: Fafoy on the latest place to lose new cover, which 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 2: is Blend and by the way, and Jackson Street on 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 2: why it's cooler than Cuba Street. 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: Heather Duplicy Ellen. 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: Okay, on the face of it, that unemployment figure out 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: today is not good. It's gone up. It's now at 12 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 2: five point four percent, now sitting at a high that 13 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: we haven't seen in almost eleven years. The last time 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: we were anywhere near five point four percent was in 15 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: September twenty fifteen. Actually, though, there is a recovery story here. 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: If you look under the hood, we have added fifteen 17 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: thousand jobs to the economy. There are more people wanting 18 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 2: to work as well. On top of that, fewer, as 19 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: informetric says sitting on the sidelines, we have fewer young 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: people bumming around now. More of them are either in 21 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: work training or education. Most of the people who found 22 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 2: work in the last quarter are in part time work, though, 23 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: which suggests that employers are taking a chance here. They're 24 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: not totally convinced of the recovery just yet, at least 25 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: not enough to offer full time work, but they are 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: confident enough to take something of a chance now. I 27 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: don't want to be pollyannash here and suggesting good news 28 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: where there isn't any and trying to pretend things are 29 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: fine when they're not fine. I don't want to do that, 30 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: But I do think it is worth us focusing on 31 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 2: the good stuff in these numbers to give this recovery 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 2: a chance. There is enough stuff out there. There are 33 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: enough numbers out there now to suggest that we are 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 2: actually on the right side of things, and this recovery 35 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: is happening. But there is still a wobble, isn't there. 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: When you talk to some businesses, they're still unimpressed by 37 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: what they're seeing come in the door. And I just 38 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: wonder if we're holding off a little here. Maybe we've 39 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: been spooked by the false dorn In twenty twenty five 40 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: and we want to make sure this is actually the 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: recovery that we believe it's going to be. Maybe we're 42 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: still unsure of what the Reserve Bank is. 43 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: Going to do. 44 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: Maybe we want to get the feel of Anna Bremer 45 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: in her first go in a couple of weeks from 46 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 2: now before we start investing money. We have good signs. 47 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: We have consumer confidence, we have business confidence, we have 48 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: GDP growth, we have retail spending growth, we have improved 49 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: manufacturing numbers. The list goes on, and then add this 50 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: the stuff under the unemployment number. Add that to the list. 51 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: Step back and assess what really does look like a 52 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: recovery if we just give it the chance. 53 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: Heather du for see Allen. 54 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: Nine twenty nineteen is the text number. As I say, 55 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: Brad Olsen will be with us after five o'clock on that. Now, 56 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: here's something you absolutely do not need. At the height 57 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: of summer, people are being worn to stay out of 58 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: the water in Wellington, and this is because raw sewage 59 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: is seeping into the ocean after a problem at the 60 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: city's treatment facility near the airport. The plant was evacuated 61 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 2: this morning after multiple floors were inundated with untreated wastewater. 62 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: Wellington Water Chief Executive Pat Doherty joins us. Now, Hi, 63 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: Pat Hi, what happened? 64 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 4: Oh, just like you said? With a heavy rain last night, 65 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: we had a but half the flow going through the 66 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 4: half going around a bypass and then they can bind 67 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 4: to give out the outfall pipe, and it backed up 68 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: and came out into the plant onto our work site. 69 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 4: And we don't know why. It should have had more 70 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 4: than enough capacity to cope with it. I suspect there's 71 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 4: something wrong with the outfall pipe that we'll. 72 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 5: Have to check. 73 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: A blockage or something. 74 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, partial blockage. We'll have to get a TV camera 75 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: down there to have a look. But the real problem 76 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 4: is is the damage the water has done. The huge 77 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 4: amounts of wastewater poured through the plant. We've got control 78 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: panels underwater, we've got electrical equipment underwater or has been underwater, 79 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 4: and we have no power because the first thing that 80 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 4: happened was all the fuses tripped out. So we've at 81 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 4: the moment got we've diverted the discharge untreated wastewater into 82 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: a short outfall, which is only four or five meters 83 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 4: off the coast at Tarakina Bay, and so the first 84 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: thing we need we're trying to do is get the 85 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: discharge back into the long outfall, which is one point 86 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: killing meters off the coast and screen it. We think 87 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 4: we can do that in a few days and then 88 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: get sludge out of our tanks before it turns inna aerobic. 89 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 4: We don't want odor problems as well. And then we've 90 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: got to get the waste water out of the plant. 91 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: And it's so deep. We've got a scrubber room that's 92 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: the size and Olympic swimming pool and it's three meters 93 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 4: deep down there, so it's a lot of water we've 94 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: got to get out. And there's no power, so there's 95 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 4: no ventilation, which means that guys have to be careful 96 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 4: of they're working in a confined space and wear the 97 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: right breathing equipment. So there's a lot to do. It's 98 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: a bad situation. 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: So what is the timeframe that you're working with here? 100 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: But like how long is it going to take you 101 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: to fix this all up so you're not pumping poo 102 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: into the sea. 103 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: So we think in a few days we'll be able 104 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 4: to start using the long outfall and screen the sewerage, 105 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 4: which will make a big difference to the cause. 106 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 2: Screen the sewerage. 107 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: Basically we take anything that any big bits out. 108 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 2: It was still pot it. I mean, you you just 109 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: take it one po out, aren't you. 110 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: Yeah? 111 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 4: And that takes us back to where Wellington was forty 112 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 4: years ago, which is far from desirable. 113 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: Okay, And then how long before you so that's cool, 114 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: I mean that's an I understand the situation. What can 115 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: you do? But then how long before you actually get 116 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: this this this plant up and running and there's no 117 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 2: more poe going into the sea. 118 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: Well until we get the wastewater out and have a 119 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 4: look at our equipment and see how badly damaged it is. 120 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: We won't know, but some of the stuff is not 121 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 4: available in New Zealand. It would have to probably be important. 122 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 4: We think it'll be months months, months. 123 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: Does that mean that? Does that mean that that that 124 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: people shouldn't be swimming around lyle By and surfing around 125 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: live By potentially for months? 126 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: Yes? 127 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, even once we once we start using the long 128 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 4: out for water quial, it will be better. But then 129 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 4: it'll be But at the moment we're saying stay away 130 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 4: from the water completely, don't don't walk along the beach, 131 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: don't let your dogs swim. Once we get it to 132 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: the long outfall, I think things will ease off a 133 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 4: little bit, but we certainly wouldn't be recommending swimming or 134 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 4: fishing or shell fishing or anything like that, not till 135 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: we get the plant back to full capacity again. 136 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 2: Now, look, it seems like a bit of a design 137 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 2: fault if the thing, if if your thing fails and 138 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: then you flood your own system. 139 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 4: Look, we intend to do a full review to see 140 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 4: what went wrong here and did we miss any warning 141 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: signs and is there anything else we could have done better? 142 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 4: But if that outfall has got something in it, then 143 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 4: maybe we should have inspected more regularly. But yeah, there 144 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: certainly should be an overflow point that's outside of the building, 145 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: not inside the building. 146 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, lord Pat, Honestly I'll bet you wish you 147 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 2: didn't take this job, but on some day. 148 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 4: Crosses my mind from time to day. 149 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: Good luck with everything, but appreciate it. Pat Doherty, Wellington 150 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: Water Chief Executive. Well there goes the last reason to 151 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: leave Wellington. I mean, look, lyle Bay being able to go, 152 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: being able to grab your surfboard and head down for 153 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: a gentle little paddle of a day was like the 154 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: last reason you want to live there. Now there's no jobs, 155 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: just full of politicians and poe. As it turns out, 156 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: so you're hi am I to Auckland, all you Wellingtonians 157 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: if you want to, or various other parts of the 158 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: country that are awesome. Listen, there is a bold play. 159 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: I think this is a really interesting and bold play 160 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: by the Australians. They've come up with the way because look, 161 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: we all need to invest in our defense equipment. Right 162 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: we know that Judith was standing outside a chop of 163 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: the other day chucking money at the Defense Force and 164 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 2: not wastefully like we need to do this because geopolitics, 165 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: as we've discussed, has just gone nuts. You've got Chejing Pang, 166 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: you've got Donald Trump, you've got potent what else do 167 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: you need to convince yourself that you probably need to 168 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: get yourself some army boys and girls so anywhere. What 169 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: the But how do you pay for it? Because the 170 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 2: stuff is huge? Next spense. If the Defense Force in 171 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: Australia have come up with a very clever way, they're 172 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: just going to sell an enormous, an enormous chunk of 173 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: their defense defense of state. So it's about thirty five 174 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: thousand hectares, including some of the nations. This is Australia's 175 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: most historic barracks. And they reckon that they can raise 176 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: two billion dollars from the sale, and then they're going 177 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: to spend it all on new military equipment and upgrades 178 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: to essential basis. So if we're scratching around thinking, hmm, 179 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: what just I'm just floating it as an idea. What 180 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: if we sold Devenport and used the money because that's 181 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: some prime real estate there, and use the money to 182 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: maybe buy a couple of ships or something like that. 183 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: Quarter past four. 184 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Tops see Alan Drive Full Show podcast 185 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks be. 186 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: Heather is an employer and others.

That is a well respected 218 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 6: a hooker, but the. 219 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 2: Job appears to have been tailored for Jamie Joseph, including 220 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 2: the appointment of Dane Cole. 221 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 6: Did I not tell you, like a couple of weeks 222 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 6: ago that look what they've done is they've given him 223 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 6: the job already.

Come on, like, understand it. 271 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 6: Let the sleeping dog light move it to one side, 272 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 6: don't reanimate because that's exactly what they've done. And I 273 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 6: feel sorry for Grace. She doesn't want to be remembered 274 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 6: around this.

It's full twenty two. 285 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: The headlines and the hard questions. It's the Mike Hosking Breakfast. 286 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 3: So to the rules around getting your driver's license, the 287 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 3: full licensed test has gone a Chris Bishop's Transport Minister 288 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 3: and as well as the learners under twenty five verses 289 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: over twenty five. Why is age such a critical thing? Because, 290 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: I mean, a good driver is not necessarily age related. 291 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: No, that's true. You know they are always extremes at 292 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: either end. 293 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 11: But we've tried to calibrate the rules to the risk 294 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 11: and the data shows that sixteen to twenty four's have 295 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 11: double the death rate on the roads then people over 296 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 11: the age of twenty four. 297 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: This idea that you go get your license and you 298 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: never tested again. 299 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, well you've got to think through the practical complications 300 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 11: of that. I haven't seen the recent research around that, 301 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 11: but I suspect it shows that the benefits of doing 302 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 11: that would not. 303 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: Outweigh the coths of doing that. 304 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 3: Back tomorrow at six am, the Mike Hosking Breakfast with 305 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 3: the Defendant US Talk ZB. 306 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: Digging deeper into the day's headlines. It's Heather Duper c 307 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: Ellen drive with one New Zealand coverage like no one 308 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: else news talks. 309 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 2: They'd be I hear the wild selling Devenport sounds good 310 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 2: on paper. There are two issues won the cost of 311 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: developing a new naval base and to any disposal disposal 312 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 2: of crownland has to be to localing. Oh that was 313 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: a good idea for a minute, wasn't it. Six twenty six. Now, 314 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: while we're on the subject of sport, there are some 315 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 2: senior All Blacks who are trying to dispel the notion 316 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: that Ardie Savia lead the player revolt that led to 317 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: Razer getting sacked. Because, of course, if you've been following 318 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 2: the bait, you'll know sav is basically born the brunt 319 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: of the public backlash. He's been blamed for it. People 320 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: already cross at him for getting ready raise a blah 321 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: blah blah. But some senior players and New Zealand rugby 322 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: say this is actually not how it played out and 323 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: he doesn't deserve it. And amongst the crew there is 324 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: Cody Taylor and Patrick tuopol or two and Wallace a 325 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: Titi and stuff. But have just read what they're saying carefully, 326 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: I reckon because I'm not. I remain kind of unconvinced 327 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: by this. What they're saying is that he just said 328 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 2: some stuff to the review when the review was asked 329 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: of him, right like he whenever when the review of 330 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: Rasor was done and all the players we ask questions, 331 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 2: he just said what he actually thought, but he really 332 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: respected Razer. So what that says to me is he 333 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: might not have led some sort of a player revolt, 334 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: but he gave his opinion and his opinion by the 335 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: sounds of things more than that flash. So anyway, we 336 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: feel sorry for him, if you want to or not. Heather, 337 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: there you go. Wellington literally is crap. Got on that 338 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: guy for fronting though couldn't. 339 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 4: Have been fun. 340 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: Can I agree with that? Because we're going to talk 341 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: about AA.

Now you've avoided another shutdown. 419 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 16: We did, which is kind of nice. President Trump's signed 420 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 16: of one point two trillion dollars spending package that ended 421 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 16: this partial shutdown that we had, so that it's going 422 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 16: to keep our government going through about the thirtieth of 423 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 16: September right now. And I think the President really wanted 424 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 16: to get this passed as quickly as possible because he 425 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 16: didn't want this hanging over his head with midterm campaigning 426 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 16: going on. And so after the Senate passed the package 427 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 16: last week, he started making the calls to House Republicans 428 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 16: and said, Okay, let's just pass this thing. We're going 429 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 16: to stamp out any demands by some of the party 430 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 16: to make changes. He just wanted it done and to 431 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 16: move on. 432 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 2: Now, what is this. What do the Republicans mean when 433 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: they say that they want to nationalize the vote? 434 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 16: Well, they want to take more of the voting rights 435 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 16: away from the state and and give it to the 436 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 16: federal government. And President Trump has been fixated on, you know, 437 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 16: claims of election fraud, and the Democrats are out with 438 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 16: these conspiracies to undocumented immigrants voting. And the New York 439 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 16: Times did this fantastic job on the story right here, 440 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 16: and he is pushing for some drastic changes right now. 441 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 16: He wants Republican officials to take over voting procedures in 442 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 16: about fifteen states. He's not saying which states right now, 443 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 16: but really wants to nationalize the whole voting system, which 444 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 16: would raise a lot of worries about his administration's efforts, 445 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 16: I guess to get involved in elections in all fifty states. 446 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 2: I mean, surely they're trying it on with Surely they're 447 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: not actually going to be able to do it. 448 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 449 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 16: No, No, I mean basically, you know, he wants to 450 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 16: expand the federal government's role in our elections, and I 451 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 16: would say the majority of states here would push back 452 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 16: on this, and as we've seen in other countries around 453 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 16: the world, I mean, this isn't a path that we 454 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 16: want to go down, you know for democracy. 455 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, what are the French prosecute does want with Elon Musk? 456 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 16: Then they want to talk to him as as soon 457 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 16: as possible. Basically, what they did was they rated the 458 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 16: offices of the social media platform x today in France 459 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 16: and to allegations like we talked about last week, of 460 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 16: spreading child sexual abuse images and deep fakes and Musk's company, 461 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 16: which I think is Xai, is facing a lot of 462 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 16: pushback from countries around the world, including Britain because of 463 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 16: data privacy breaches right now. So a lot of this 464 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 16: has to do with how they handle personal information when 465 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 16: they developed. And I don't know if you use the 466 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 16: chatbot Grock or not, but a lot of people do 467 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 16: right now, and that's what they're concerned about. How much 468 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 16: information went into develop this that is being used that 469 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 16: probably shouldn't. And Musk, of course is pushing back on 470 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 16: all these allegations, saying this is all just political. 471 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 2: Dan, It's always good to talk to you, mate. We'll 472 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: talk to you again next week. You look after yourself. 473 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: It's Dan Mitchinson, ow US correspondent. Right now. It is 474 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: nineteen away from five. 475 00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: Yea A dupla. 476 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: So Bill Gates denies the claims that but they're pretty 477 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 2: I mean, those are epic claims that have been made 478 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: about in pretty wild stuff. Spokesposon for Bill Gates says 479 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: the email is absolutely absurd, and then says the only 480 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 2: thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein's frustration that he did 481 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the links 482 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 2: he would go to to and trap and de fame, 483 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: and look, I guess there is probably something in that 484 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 2: for us that just because Jeffrey Epstein typed it out 485 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 2: in an email doesn't necessarily mean it's true, because the 486 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 2: guy has proven himself to be well, I would say, 487 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: pretty untrustworthy anyway, Melinda. What I like about Melinda Gates 488 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: is that she isn't she just front foot stuff. Ah, 489 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: she didn't sit around. She shouldn't do an AA insurance 490 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: of you, and I don't really want to talk about 491 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,719 Speaker 2: this is awkward. She went on a podcast on MPR's 492 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 2: Rachel Martin's podcast and had this to say. 493 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 17: The emails and the files suggest that Bill Gates hud 494 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 17: additional affairs, and that he tried to get medication to 495 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 17: treat a sexually transmitted infection, and that he was going 496 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 17: to give you the matter send without you knowing. His 497 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 17: representative has said all of this is false. It is 498 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 17: not on you to have to respond to the details 499 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 17: of that alleged behavior. But I wonder what your dominant 500 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 17: emotion is when you read these news articles with these details. 501 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 12: Sad, just unbelievable sadness. And again I'm able to take 502 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 12: my own sadness and look at those young girls and say, 503 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 12: my god, how did they have How did that happen 504 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 12: to those girls? 505 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 18: Right? 506 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 12: And so for me it's just sadness, sadness for you know, 507 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 12: I've left had I left my marriage. 508 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: I had to leave my marriage. I wanted to leave. 509 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 12: My marriage, I had to leave the fact I felt 510 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 12: I needed to eventually leave the foundation. 511 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 16: So it's just sad. 512 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very very sad and grim Bury Sop as 513 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: nick seventeen away from. 514 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: Five with Politics with Centrics credit, check your customers and 515 00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: get payment. 516 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: Certaindy, if you have not read the story about the 517 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: thirteen year old boy who swam for four hours to 518 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 2: save his family, I'm gonna have to talk you through 519 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: it because it is incredible. As a parent, it will 520 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: just tear your heart. Fourteen away from five or to 521 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 2: that in a minute. Barry Soper, Senior Political Correspondents with US. 522 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 5: Hello, Barry, good afternoon, Heather. 523 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 2: Alrighty, so what happened with Penny Henardi? What do you know? 524 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 5: Well, I'm up in Whitehungey at the moment, and all 525 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 5: the players, of course are here. There's Willie Jackson, Chris 526 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:36,239 Speaker 5: Hopkins and Penny Henarde. Himself, and I noticed when the 527 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 5: paths of Christopher Luxon and Penny Henard crosspaths, Luxon, as 528 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 5: he's wont to do, gave him a big hug, which 529 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 5: was quite interesting. But look, it's clear to me now 530 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 5: having talked around the traps that there was a standoff. 531 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 5: There is some bad blood in the Labor Party about 532 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 5: all of this, because essentially Penny Henard and Willie Jackson, 533 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 5: who's the chair of the Maldi Caucus and the campaign 534 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 5: chair for the Labor Party, didn't really really see eye 535 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 5: to eye on very much at all. Penni Hena always 536 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 5: felt that he was on the outside and after thought 537 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 5: in the Labor Party caucus. Given the fact that he 538 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 5: was the most senior member of the Maudi Labor Caucus. 539 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 5: He felt that I think that he should have been 540 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 5: taken a bit more notice of he wasn't, and therefore 541 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 5: he decided that he would move on. Interestingly, I think, 542 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 5: and there's been a lot of talk around from the 543 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 5: people that have been talking to about Napoui, which is 544 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 5: the local harpoo here. They are about the biggest in 545 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 5: the country with one hundred and eighty five thousand members, 546 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 5: and the thing is whither. They are the only big 547 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 5: harpoo that haven't had a treaty settlement, essentially because they 548 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 5: can't agree with each other. Well, I look at when 549 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 5: I ran into Penny Henada, I said to him, well, 550 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 5: what about the negotiator for the pooh settlement? And funnily enough, 551 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 5: a number of years ago in Parliament Chris Finlayson, who 552 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 5: was the treaty negotiations minister, he endorsed him, endorsed Penny 553 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 5: Henad way back then as saying, this man isn't the 554 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 5: wrong place. He shouldn't be in Parliament, he should be 555 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 5: out negotiating the police settlement. So who knows with the 556 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 5: embrace of Chris Luxon and now Penny Henade being a 557 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 5: free agent, who knows what might happen? 558 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: And so what was the answer when you put it 559 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 2: to him? What did he say? 560 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 5: Oh, certainly not averse to it, no doubt about it. 561 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 5: I think I think essentially there will be a job 562 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 5: like that waiting in the wings for him, and it'll 563 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 5: be a few weeks before he steps out of Parliament. 564 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 5: And because he's a list MP, he doesn't have to 565 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 5: worry too much about replacements and what have you said? Yeah, 566 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 5: I think you'll be gone a couple of weeks and 567 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 5: there will be jobs in the offering for him. 568 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 2: How the Prime Minister's meeting with the EWEE chairs go, oh, well. 569 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 5: It was two hours and essentially it was a very 570 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 5: large meeting involving all the EWI chair at the chairs 571 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 5: forum and eight cabinet ministers were there. Now they were 572 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 5: each introduced to the forum and each tribe was talked 573 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 5: to by either the Minister or the Prime Minister. And 574 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 5: even though Thomas Potucker said, look, you know they were 575 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 5: quite aggressive at times, Luxon obviously heard a bit of 576 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 5: a different story because he sort of said, well, it 577 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 5: was much more progressive than that, and Mardy understood that 578 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 5: what we're trying to do. Well, you know, they both 579 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 5: they all came out of the meeting and they seemed 580 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 5: very happy with the results. So I think these EWEI 581 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 5: four are the best place for basically the leaders of 582 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 5: political parties because they're private and the EWEE chairs can 583 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 5: meet and have what at least as a reasonable respectful discussion, 584 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 5: and that's what they had today. 585 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: And as the Marti Queen turned up, is she. 586 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, well there was a big palphyry on the treaty 587 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 5: grounds at one o'clock this afternoon. And interestingly, when she 588 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 5: was shown on with a lot of pomp and ceremony 589 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 5: to the White Tongui meeting House that there were words 590 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 5: spoken before she was welcomed on to the Marai, and 591 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 5: every speech that was made reminded those who were listening 592 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:46,239 Speaker 5: that this is election year. So look, the election is 593 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 5: very important. And it's interesting now because I think the 594 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 5: Maori Party I haven't heard them mentioned and all the 595 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 5: time I've been here today. But certainly the play between 596 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 5: Penny here, the labor and Mari some Mardi seeing is 597 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 5: the not being very well done by by the government. 598 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 5: That is the talk, and the election is the key. 599 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 2: Barry, thanks very much, enjoy your time up there. That's 600 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 2: Barry Soper, senior political correspondent. Yeah, Shane Jones are certainly 601 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: stirring trouble on the front on the Penni Henad situation. 602 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 2: He says, the whole story is not yet publicly known, 603 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: as Barry's alluded to, there are some rumors already doing 604 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: the round, and as is always the case with the rumors, 605 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: you don't know if they're true or not until somebody 606 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 2: confirms them. In the most likely situations, no one ever 607 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 2: confirms them. But I think what you can take away 608 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: with or without confirmation, I think you can take what 609 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: you can take away from the situation as it unfolded yesterday, 610 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 2: is that there is clearly something that's happened between Penny 611 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: Henade and the Labor Party, or Penny Hennade and Chris Hapkins. 612 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 2: There are some bad blood there, and you could tell 613 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: because Chippy would not back Penny Henade yesterday. So definitely 614 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: more to the story. Let's hope we'll find out what 615 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: it is, but don't bank on it. Eight away from five. Heither, 616 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 2: if AA Insurance is pulling out of insurance in those 617 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: regions already named it, it most certainly is that Vero, their 618 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: sixty eight percent co owners will follow suit as they 619 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: are as it's probably likely the reinsurance of the reinsurance, 620 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: sorry are the same and will be dictating that move. 621 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: Watch to space, Howard, that's a fair point, thank you. 622 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: Five away from five. So this is an unbelievable story 623 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 2: of heroism from this little boy who swam to save 624 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: his family. But also, just like as a parent, you 625 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 2: would hope to never ever be in a situation where 626 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: you have to make that decision. What happened is that 627 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: it was a mum and her three kids, right, thirteen 628 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: year old boy and then two younger kids, not that 629 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: much younger, I think like ten and twelve or something 630 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 2: like that, oh, twelve and eight, brother and sister. The 631 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: three kids and the mum are out off the coast 632 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 2: of Western Australia, mucking around on a couple of paddleboards 633 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: and a kayaker whatever. And the wind gets up and 634 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 2: before they know it, they've drifted out too far to 635 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: see right, So and the waves are getting bigger and 636 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: they're really struggling to get back in. So the mum 637 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: makes the decision that she's going to batch the thirteen 638 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 2: year old back and ask him to police in one 639 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: of the kayaks, paddle back and go get some help 640 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: because she cannot get these kids in by it, and 641 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: being the eldest, she sends them off right. But then 642 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 2: what happens is this kid takes such a long time, 643 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 2: four hours pass, no sign of any rescue. She thinks, Oh, 644 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: dear God, what have I done. I've sent She presumably 645 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: thinks the worst, the boy is dead. What's happened is 646 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: this boy has set off on the kayak and they 647 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 2: don't realize the kayak's actually badly dinged or whatever, and 648 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: it starts taking on some water, so and he's like 649 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 2: getting knocked around by the waves and stuff, and he's 650 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 2: paddling with one hand at one stage and trying to 651 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: keep the thing afloat, and it gets knocked out of 652 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: the kayak. Eventually he has to abandon the kayak and 653 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 2: there he is no life vest or anything, and he 654 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 2: starts swimming. That little boy thirteen years old, swam for 655 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: four k's before, and he thought, he said, he was 656 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: really scared. And you can imagine you're thirteen years old, 657 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: you're swimming that long. This is a like this took 658 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: him about four hours swimming that long. He is terrified. Eventually, 659 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 2: after four hours and seeing a shark and freaking out, 660 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: he finally makes it to shore. When he makes it 661 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: to shore, and he cannot believe that he's actually managed 662 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 2: to do that, he then has to sprint for two 663 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: k's in order to get back to his mum's bag, 664 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 2: grab her cell phone call emergency services. At this stage, 665 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: he thinks his family is dead. Both of them think 666 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 2: that the other lot is dead because they cannot possibly 667 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: have survived that long. Anyway, of course, the story ends 668 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: up being brilliant. She's drifted out fourteen k's with the 669 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 2: other kids off shore, that they get rescued, Everything is fine. 670 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 2: That little boy swam so hard and ran so hard 671 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: that when he finally went to school he was still 672 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: on crutches because his legs hurt that much. Imagine though, 673 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: being the mum and having to decide that you're going 674 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: to send your thirteen year old boy back. How heartbreaking 675 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 2: is that? Anyway, all's well, that ends well. So that 676 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: is a brilliant story, and I hope he gets all 677 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 2: the treats that he deserves for that. The Pa Toni 678 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: Street versus Jackson Street thing, we're we're going to cover 679 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 2: that off because it's obviously load of tosh as if. 680 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: But first up, Brad Olsen informetrics on why that unemployment 681 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 2: number is not actually as bad as it looks on paper. 682 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 2: News is Next, You're in. 683 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: The only drive show you can try, truck to ask 684 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: the questions, get the answers, find the fag sack and 685 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: give the analysis. Here the duplicyl and Drive with One 686 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: New Zealand and the Power of satellite mobile news Dogs 687 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: there'd be. 688 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: Afternoon. Unemployment has reached a ten year high of five 689 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 2: point four percent, up from five point three. This takes 690 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 2: us back to a level we haven't been at since 691 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: September twenty fifteen. But it's not all bad. Infometrics are 692 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: seeing some good under that hood, and the chief executive, 693 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 2: Brad Olsen, is with us. Now, Hi, Brad, good evening. 694 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 2: What are the numbers that you like here? 695 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 9: Well, the biggest one for us is the fact that 696 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 9: employment rows a fairly strong point five percent in the quarter, 697 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 9: so we did actually see more jobs activity. The reason 698 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 9: that that unemployment rate also so increased, though, is because 699 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 9: participation rose from seventy point three to seventy point five. 700 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 9: What that means is there's a whole bunch of people 701 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 9: who previously they weren't counted as unemployed because they were 702 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 9: out of the labor force. They weren't looking for work, 703 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 9: they weren't available. Now there are a few more jobs 704 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 9: starting to come around. They are making themselves available to 705 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 9: get back into work, but they're now counted as unemployed 706 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 9: whereas they weren't before, which has lifted that number so effectively. 707 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 9: You are starting to see a bit more of an 708 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 9: improvement in that job's trend. It's just the meaning that 709 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 9: you've both got more people who are looking for jobs 710 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 9: as well as those who are actually getting them. 711 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 2: Now, a lot of the jobs that have been added 712 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 2: appear to be part time jobs. Is that a sign 713 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 2: that employers are just sort of dipping their toes but 714 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 2: not fully confident yet. 715 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, it does seem to be part of that. I 716 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 9: mean fifty five percent, so just over half of the 717 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 9: new jobs we saw in the quarter were part time roles, 718 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 9: and it does suggest that. Look when you look at 719 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 9: the number of hours being offered out there, it's not 720 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 9: particularly wrong yet and probably consistent with the fact that 721 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 9: the job add numbers, the number of roles being advertised 722 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 9: hasn't really jumped up strongly either, So there's a bit 723 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 9: of a turn, but it's sort of not as forthright yet, 724 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 9: which also comes in when you look at the underutilization rate, 725 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 9: so slightly broader than unemployment. It looks at the number 726 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 9: of people who don't have a job, those who have 727 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 9: a job that would like to work more hours, and 728 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 9: those who are not currently looking but they probably could 729 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 9: be convinced into it. That rate was steady at thirteen 730 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 9: percent which does suggest you're sort of seeing people who 731 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 9: weren't previously looking are now looking. Those who were looking 732 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 9: already have maybe have got a job but on reduced hours, 733 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 9: but they are looking for more. So some encouraging signs 734 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 9: at least better than that five point four percent unemployment 735 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 9: rate might suggest, but again not necessarily absolutely rapidly firing 736 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 9: labor market momentum. 737 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: Aliston, I'm just that business about the employers that are 738 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 2: dipping their toes and not having full confidence to go 739 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 2: full noise into full employment. What is going on here 740 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 2: with our recovery? Why are we being as warbly as 741 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 2: we are at the start of this year. 742 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 9: Well, I think it's possibly because we got burnt a 743 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 9: bit with the expectations of recovery last year. You know, 744 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 9: we talked about twenty five and about getting momentum back 745 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 9: and it just didn't really get under weigh as much. 746 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 9: And I think there's still a bit of a you know, 747 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 9: a circular thing here where for businesses they need to 748 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 9: see stronger business sales coming through their front door before 749 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,240 Speaker 9: they commit to hiring more workers. 750 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 2: But so, Brad, are we sizing up that RB governor 751 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 2: before we're sure of what she's about. 752 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 9: Well a little potentially, but I suspect we're probably more 753 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 9: sizing up that uncomfortable inflation to start with, Like probably 754 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 9: no matter who the governor would be, three point one 755 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 9: percent inflation does sort of set the catamacts of pigeons 756 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 9: a little bit. You saw what the Reserve Bank of 757 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 9: Australia had to do yesterday in terms of lifting rates. 758 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 9: But I think probably all of this boils down for 759 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 9: households that they're seeing that you know, inflation figure coming up. 760 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 9: They're still uncertain about their job prospects, and that means 761 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 9: that people are still acting fairly cautious. So until that 762 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 9: turns around. We did see a little bit more DAR 763 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 9: showing consumer confidence has bounced a bit higher, but I 764 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 9: still think people are a little bit shy, a little 765 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 9: bit cautious so far, and that's extending to businesses and 766 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 9: they're hiring too. 767 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: It's good to talk to you, Brad as always. Thank 768 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 2: you Brad Elson. CEO of Informetrics, Heather Duper see Allen. 769 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 2: Yet another town is being abandoned, at least new policy wise, 770 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 2: by AA Insurance. The insurer has announced it will no 771 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,839 Speaker 2: longer be offering new home insurance policies in Blenham after 772 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 2: doing the same to wood End in North Canterbury and 773 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 2: Westport in order to manage its risk. Now at the 774 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 2: same time, the government has announced a review into the 775 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 2: sector to look at where the home insurance is priced 776 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: fairly and affordably. Chris Farfoy is the chief executive of 777 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 2: the Insurance Counsel. 778 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 13: And with us I far good arsenat how are you heavy? 779 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 2: And well thank you? Do you know what AA's reason 780 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: for pausing that the new policies and Blennim is. 781 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 13: Look, they've said, and I will reiterate that, you know, 782 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 13: they feel that they've reached the maximum threshold for exposure 783 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 13: in that market. So that's obviously a business decision that 784 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 13: they have made, and they've obviously made it in a 785 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 13: couple of other markets recently. But I'm from time to time, 786 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 13: you know, members do review their exposure in particular markets, 787 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 13: and in this instance, AA has obviously taken on their 788 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 13: own business decision. But I just want to reiterate that 789 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 13: they're still in their supporting their current members, members and customers, 790 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 13: and we asked people remind people to shop around. There's 791 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 13: still other insurers in those markets who are offering intro. 792 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 2: I'm just what I'm confused about. Is it current exposure 793 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 2: to what is it? Exposure to flooding? Is exposure to 794 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 2: just seismic risk? Whatord is it? 795 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 13: I think what they said in particular markets and some 796 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 13: instances it might be flooding and others that might be seismic. 797 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,399 Speaker 13: So it really depends on the risk of the year, Heather. 798 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 13: But in those in those in those markets, they think 799 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 13: they've topped out. 800 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 2: Something to me, though, why don't they just you know, 801 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 2: raise the raise the price of the premium, like, just 802 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 2: make it make it expensive to reflect the risk instead 803 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 2: of instead of stopping all together. 804 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 13: Look, they all make their own business decisions about how 805 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 13: MAT's exposure they want to have on their books, and 806 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 13: sometimes their reinsurers can say to them, look, in this 807 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 13: area will reinsure you if we'll give you the reinsurance 808 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 13: capacity if you keep it to this. And I don't 809 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 13: know if that's the case, but in many instances when 810 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 13: they speak to their reinsurance they say, look, in this area, 811 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 13: we can reinsure this much. And if they don't have 812 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 13: enough insurance reinsurance capacity, then they will do in some 813 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 13: instances what they've done now I don't know precisely the decision, 814 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 13: but they've obviously said in a general sense that they've 815 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 13: met that, you know, they've met the threshold of their 816 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 13: limit of exposure in some of those areas. 817 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 2: Do you foresee a future where insurance just becomes so 818 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 2: expensive that most of us ought not to be insured 819 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 2: anymore in this country? Is that possible? 820 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 13: Look, we know where near that, And that's why I 821 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 13: want to reiterate it. This is just one insurer, and 822 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 13: we've still got twenty one other insurance as Insurance Council 823 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 13: members who continue to offer insurance across the board. What 824 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 13: we've been saying for some time, and I think I've 825 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 13: been on the showhither, is that there are things on 826 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 13: the horizon, like extreme weather that we expect happen more 827 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 13: often and to be more extreme, that that will be 828 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 13: a challenge. 829 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: First, that's not just that far. 830 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I was talking about this. I'm sorry to 831 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 2: interrupt you, but I was talking about this on the 832 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 2: show earlier this week. I've got a twenty year old 833 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 2: jeep wrangler that you know, I only drive a couple 834 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 2: of months a year or whatever. But the insurance cost 835 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 2: of that, I mean, this is and this is not 836 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 2: related to whether, but the insurance cost of that is 837 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 2: now so high, and even on a good wicket, I 838 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 2: look at that, I go, that's not worth it. I 839 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 2: might go third party. So it's across everything, isn't it. 840 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 2: It's across home insurance for whether related stuff or earthquake stuff. 841 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 2: Cars are expensive now, health insurance is expensive. Medical insurance 842 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,640 Speaker 2: is expensive. It's starting to feel a little bit and 843 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 2: tell me if I'm wrong, but it's starting to feel 844 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 2: a little bit like insurance companies are taking the mickey 845 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 2: and seeing how far they can push us before we 846 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 2: drop off. 847 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 13: Look, of course i'd say that, but I say this, 848 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 13: but no, they're not. We're afflicting the risks that are 849 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 13: eminent and real for a lot of customers, especially when 850 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 13: it comes to high risk areas to flooding, etc. It's 851 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 13: becoming a real challenge with cars, depends on who's driving 852 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 13: or what you've got. But you know, I again, I 853 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 13: want to reiterate the importance of doing a bit of 854 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 13: shopping around in those areas where it's become a challenge 855 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 13: for some people who are looking to AA. There are 856 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 13: other insurers who are I'm sure are still in the 857 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 13: market who can offer as well. But you are you know, 858 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 13: the government is looking at a review or some of 859 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 13: the drivers of the premiums. And we've been saying for 860 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 13: some time there are some drivers of costs that we 861 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,439 Speaker 13: want to look at too, like well at home. Well, 862 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 13: people who might be at home at at the moment 863 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 13: saying yes, I want to know about that might not 864 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 13: realize that about forty five forty six percent of their 865 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 13: house insurance is actually the likes of levies and taxes. 866 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 13: So there's a fends levy for foreign emergency that in 867 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 13: Natural Hazards Commission levy GST. So there's a lot of 868 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 13: costs in premiums for a house that actually the insurance 869 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:48,320 Speaker 13: sector doesn't control. 870 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 2: What about my packwer what's going on there? 871 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 5: Well? 872 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 13: You know, actually if you look at the inflation figures 873 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 13: that came out last month, here there's some of the 874 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 13: I think car insurance actually got a lot cheaper in 875 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 13: the last quartered compare there. And it does depend on 876 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 13: who you're looking to shop with and what your scenario is. 877 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 13: You know, if you're a good driver and you've got 878 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 13: a relatively cheap card, then you mon't be paying much. 879 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,400 Speaker 13: But if you've got some challenges. Then obviously the insurance 880 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 13: company is going to look at you a little differently. 881 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 2: All right, listen, it's good to talk to you. Thank 882 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 2: you for your time. There's Chris Fafoy, Insurance Council Chief Executive. 883 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 18: I don't know. 884 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 2: Does that make you feel better about the situation? Probably 885 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 2: not right. Let's thet's deal with this nonsense about Jackson 886 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 2: Street and Potoni next sixteen past five. If you've got 887 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 2: some old jewelry, so like a PAORLN dealer, you've got 888 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 2: some old jewelry lying around? Have I got a deal 889 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 2: for you, bat, I've got something to tell you about 890 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 2: that to stand by. It's nineteen past five. Now there's 891 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 2: a controversial call in the Herald today in an opinion piece, 892 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 2: which is that Patoni's Jackson Street is now cooler than 893 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 2: Cuba Street in Wellington, CBD, which of course is famously 894 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: very very cool. Now Hell's Hats is a retailer on 895 00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 2: Jackson Street, and the owner, Simon Smarts Kennedy, is with 896 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 2: us this. 897 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 1: I sign in hello, how are you well? 898 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 2: Thank you sell it to me? Because I don't believe 899 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 2: this so slid to me. 900 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 19: Uh well, we we opened up Atlantis, which was. It's 901 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 19: around the corner, and the difference with the foot traffic 902 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 19: and so on is huge, and we looked at going 903 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 19: into town. We're really thankful that we landed just around 904 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 19: the corner in Botany, where the foot traffic is fantastic. 905 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 19: And it's also the caliber of those that are that 906 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 19: are walking and coming out to Potony. You know that 907 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 19: they come out to be entertained, whether it be in 908 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 19: you know, one of the sixty eateries and all the 909 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 19: other little sort of boutique stores that are there. I mean, 910 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 19: there's virtually everything available and and it's pumping. It's great. 911 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 7: Now. 912 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 2: I don't want to be unkind, but it feels like 913 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 2: is Jackson Street not just a whole bunch of op 914 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 2: shops and vegan bakeries. 915 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,320 Speaker 20: We've got all of that. 916 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 19: So certainly come out for that. 917 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 2: I don't want to. 918 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 19: Well, there's plenty for you. There's plenty for the caliber 919 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 19: of the restaurants out there, all the different cuisines and 920 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 19: so on. I mean, there's something for everyone, whether it 921 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 19: even just be your pubs, your breweries, you know, right 922 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 19: through from high end Italian restaurants to Indian restaurants to 923 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 19: you know, your kebab stores, and then there's all the 924 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,400 Speaker 19: little cafes as well. So I mean there's there's certainly 925 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 19: if you're if you're a foodie, there's certainly something there 926 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 19: for you. 927 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 2: Simon. This is just what I reckon has happened here, 928 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 2: is that there are a whole bunch of like you know, 929 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 2: older millennials my age who are having kids priced out 930 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 2: of Wellington CBD. So they've all gone and lived in 931 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 2: Potoni and now because they have the power to tell 932 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 2: people what they think is cool and this and this 933 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,400 Speaker 2: is their local place on Jackson Street, it's cool. That's 934 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 2: basically what's happened is just where all the mums and 935 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 2: dads live nowadays. 936 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 19: I mean there certainly there's a lot of people moving 937 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 19: out to the valley and we've certainly noticed that, but 938 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 19: I mean there's people that also drive out. I mean, 939 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 19: we've got some pretty big superstares out here now there 940 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,280 Speaker 19: down one end, which is nice. And so the actual 941 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,080 Speaker 19: Jackson Street still has that old style, that old flavor. 942 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 19: I mean, I mean it's sort of like a little 943 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 19: beach community to a certain degree. And and you know, 944 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 19: like we've we've decided to go there, you know, our 945 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 19: hats store would fit anywhere worldwide on any sort of 946 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 19: high end street. And like you know, we've got everything 947 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 19: from you know, the House of Knives, We've got picture framers, 948 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 19: we've got boutique chocolate makers. You know, there's there's a 949 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 19: lot of people there that have you know, their artisan 950 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 19: businesses that are set up store. And I mean in 951 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 19: this day and age and not it's not all online. 952 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 19: We're noticing people actually want that contact people. 953 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 2: And yeah, I appreciate your running us through. Thanks man, 954 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 2: and best of luck with the hats that Simon sparts 955 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,839 Speaker 2: Kennedy Hill's hats. And I'm gonna tell you why why 956 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 2: I call BS on this and we'll get to it. 957 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 2: But first, David Seymour five twenty two, the name. 958 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,919 Speaker 1: You trust to get the answers you need, it's Heather 959 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,960 Speaker 1: Duplicy Ellen Drive with one New Zealand coverage like no 960 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 1: one else us talk they'd be. 961 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 2: What I needed to tell you about the price of 962 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 2: about your jewelry is that silver and gold searchers on 963 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 2: Trade Me are go wang Off. So we're going to 964 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 2: talk to trade Me about it after half past now 965 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 2: it's twenty five past five. Now, given that it's the 966 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 2: very start of the year and it's election year to boot, 967 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 2: I'm going to do the incredibly arrogant thing, and I 968 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 2: realize it's arrogant, but I am going to do this 969 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 2: thing of handing out some free advice over the next well, 970 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 2: I don't know, a couple of weeks or whatever, and 971 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to start today with the ACT Party. So 972 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed today to open the Herald 973 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 2: and read David Seymour's opinion piece yet again about how 974 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,439 Speaker 2: the Treaty should mean equal rights. Now it's not because 975 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 2: he's wrong, because I actually think he's right. And it's 976 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,720 Speaker 2: not because I think he needs to drop the subject altogether, 977 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 2: because I think he's actually obligated to try again. If 978 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 2: he's in coalition negotiations after the next election, he should 979 00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,840 Speaker 2: try to get the Treaty Principal's Bill or something like 980 00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 2: that across the line again. But this opinion piece on 981 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 2: why Tonguey Day this year feels completely off the vibe 982 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 2: because the Treaty debate is dead for this selectoral term. 983 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 2: Right between now an election day. It's just not going 984 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 2: to happen. And this is a white tonguey day where 985 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 2: everyone is trying to get a get along very hard 986 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 2: at the moment. That trying very hard because it's been 987 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 2: particularly bruising few years because of the Treaty Principles Bill. 988 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 2: So given that there is nothing to progress with this 989 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 2: argument right now, it just feels like he's picking at 990 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 2: a scab. In Act's defense, he was asked to submit 991 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 2: an opinion piece to the Herald. He could have said no, though, 992 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:33,959 Speaker 2: and I think he should have said no. That would 993 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 2: have been better than making himself sound like a broken 994 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 2: record on a subject that most of us have at 995 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,879 Speaker 2: least temporarily moved on from. 996 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:40,440 Speaker 5: Now. 997 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,919 Speaker 2: If he is scratching around for something to talk about, 998 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 2: he has an idea. How about tax ax. Promised to 999 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 2: scrap the thirty nine percent tax rate before the last election, 1000 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,919 Speaker 2: still hasn't done it. Two years in people in every 1001 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 2: single tax bracket will be dying for more tax relief 1002 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 2: in the still soft economic recovery. And it's in their name, 1003 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 2: the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers. So maybe a little 1004 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 2: bit less of the race stuff, a little bit more 1005 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 2: of the tax stuff because it's the economy stupid. Just 1006 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 2: a bit of free advice, Signed Heather of. 1007 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 1: Auckland Heather duplusy Ellen. 1008 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so where this old business of Petoni's Jackson Street 1009 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 2: has come from is? Joanna Wayne has written this opinion 1010 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 2: piece for the Herald. Let me read this yea. She 1011 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,640 Speaker 2: says she has spent many satisfying days on Jackson Street, 1012 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 2: raiding the op shops and the secondhand retro stores. Some 1013 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 2: of her best purchases over the years include a preloved 1014 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 2: Karen Walker shirt, a seven dollar pair of vegan sneakers 1015 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 2: made in Denmark, two groovy nineteen seventies crowned Lin plates, 1016 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 2: a chest of draws for her daughter's university flat, and 1017 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,280 Speaker 2: a raspberry crumble filled donut from Berlin, a plant based bakery. 1018 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 2: What she hasn't bought so far is an authentic Gandalf 1019 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 2: cloak for two three hundred and seventy dollars. Now I'm 1020 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 2: reading you that list because I'm wondering just how much 1021 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 2: of that stuff you're just dying to own. We listen 1022 00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 2: to that going, oh, yeah, that's May, that's a bit 1023 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:04,839 Speaker 2: of May, vegan sneakers from Denmark. No, Now what I'm 1024 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 2: there is a pattern that I have noticed, right, which 1025 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 2: is that when you go to the cool streets like 1026 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 2: if you have any cool streets wherever, whether it's k 1027 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 2: Road or High Street and Brunswick and Melbourne, whatever, you 1028 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 2: get there as full of op shops. Now, who decided 1029 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 2: that op shops are the thing that makes a street cool? 1030 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,800 Speaker 2: Who decided that you have to have like just a 1031 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 2: street choc a block full of op shops and then 1032 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 2: it's cool. Let me tell you something. You know what's 1033 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 2: cooler than buying secondhand stuff? Buying new stuff. So I'm 1034 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 2: just going to say to Jackson Street and possibly even 1035 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 2: Cuba Street, no thanks very much. Trade me is next. 1036 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: On your smart speaker, on the iHeart app, and in 1037 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: your car on your drive home, it's Heather duplicy Ellen 1038 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 1: drive with one New Zealand and the power of satellite 1039 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: mobile news talks. 1040 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 5: That'd be. 1041 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 2: So, the government is putting thirty five million dollars into 1042 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 2: the local Fusion Energy company, and thirty five million dollars 1043 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 2: of government money is actually a fair whack for the 1044 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 2: government to be putting. As wabachat to that Fusion Energy 1045 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 2: Company are open staff after six o'clock just get a 1046 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 2: low down on what it is that they actually do. 1047 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 2: The Huddle is standing by and right now it's twenty 1048 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 2: four away from six. Now looks like gold and silver 1049 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 2: are the hot new commodities on trade me. The site 1050 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 2: has started to receive significantly more soldiers searches for gold 1051 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 2: and silver since mid January, which of course is when 1052 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 2: both of those elements were in the news for reaching 1053 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,040 Speaker 2: record high prices. Trade me spokesperson Millie Sylvester is with 1054 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 2: us now Home Milly Curita. So what is it people 1055 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 2: are searching for? Are they searching for like chunks of 1056 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,880 Speaker 2: gold and silver or is it jewelry? 1057 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,240 Speaker 21: It's right across the board. I mean, gold and silver 1058 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 21: were the second and third fastest rising search terms in 1059 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 21: the past week, but then in the top ten we 1060 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 21: also saw silver bar and silver billion, So I guess 1061 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,000 Speaker 21: it's everything whereverbod ever has gold and silver in it. 1062 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 2: What do we think people are doing with it? Like 1063 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 2: if I was to dug out my old gold ring 1064 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 2: or whatever that I didn't want to sell it on tradeing, 1065 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 2: are they going to melt it down? 1066 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 21: Are they perhaps or maybe they're hoping that actually this 1067 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 21: is the start of a boom and they're going to 1068 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 21: set on it and hold on to it and maybe 1069 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 21: you know, accumulated over time as a bit of an investment. 1070 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,439 Speaker 21: Your guess is as good as mine. 1071 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 2: I mean, they must be thinking that they're going to 1072 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 2: sell that that they're buying. Presumably the idea is that 1073 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 2: you're buying it at a very heavy discount on trade 1074 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 2: me if you're going to sit on it for a while, right, Yeah, you. 1075 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 21: Would think so. I think it's just it's astounding. You know, 1076 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 21: we've seen searches for silver were up two hundred and 1077 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 21: sixty four percent year on year, Like it is a 1078 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 21: huge increase that we are seeing more so actually for 1079 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 21: silver than we are for gold. Gold was up about 1080 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,719 Speaker 21: twenty percent year on year, but still really noticeable, you know, 1081 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 21: trend in searches. And then what we are also seeing 1082 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 21: is in categories like antiques and collectables and unsurprisingly jewelry 1083 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 21: and watches. You know that the spike connect there has 1084 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,880 Speaker 21: been incredible, and it's really been in the past kind 1085 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:03,880 Speaker 21: of fourteen days. 1086 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,240 Speaker 2: It's kind of weird. Now, how do you guarantee if 1087 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,919 Speaker 2: you are thinking you start holding based on your trade 1088 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 2: me purchases, how do you guarantee that you're buying what 1089 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 2: they say they are selling you? 1090 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 21: Absolutely, it's really important to ask a whole lot of questions, 1091 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 21: ask for more photos, you know, look for those hallmarks 1092 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 21: or any stamps that prove the metals purity. You know, 1093 00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 21: you want to make sure you are buying, you know, 1094 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 21: something that is authentic. You can pay via ping on 1095 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 21: trade me, which means you're covered by buyer protection. So 1096 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 21: I would encourage that if you're looking to buy any 1097 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 21: precious metals on site, and that means you know, you 1098 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 21: can be confident in your purchase. 1099 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, brilliant, Lillie, thank you for talking us through. I 1100 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 2: appreciate a Milie Sylvester Trade Me spokesperson, Heather, I disagree 1101 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 2: with you on David Seymour's continued principle stand for liberal democracy. 1102 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 2: That's the reason that I am an Act voter. Twenty 1103 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:53,359 Speaker 2: one away from six. 1104 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, a name 1105 00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,920 Speaker 1: you can trust locally and globally. 1106 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 2: Puddled with us this evening we have Tim Wilson of 1107 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,840 Speaker 2: the Maximum Institute and Jack Tame, host of Saturday Mornings 1108 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,360 Speaker 2: in Q and a highlights. 1109 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 5: Right. 1110 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 2: Agree the jobless number? 1111 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:09,839 Speaker 5: Right? 1112 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 2: The unemployed number. Did you look at that and think, well, 1113 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 2: that's a shock that's gone up again? Or did you 1114 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 2: look under the hood and think, might I see the 1115 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 2: signs of the recovery? 1116 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 6: Or both? 1117 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,279 Speaker 8: Oh, you know both. 1118 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 20: It's a sort of not a good news bad news scenario, 1119 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 20: more like a bad news good news scenario with more 1120 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,520 Speaker 20: unemployed people but more people in employment. But I think, 1121 00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 20: you know, it's sort of like a situation. Is is 1122 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,719 Speaker 20: really probably the winning narrative will be this is the 1123 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,320 Speaker 20: worst in ten years. So if you're if you're nationally, 1124 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,320 Speaker 20: you'll say, hey, hey, there's more people in employment, but 1125 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 20: that that top line, it's the worst in ten years. 1126 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 20: That will probably take hold. I think you're right talking 1127 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 20: about the election is probably an economic election. People are 1128 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,240 Speaker 20: going to you know, there's a green shoots, green shoots. 1129 00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 20: A lot of people are just going to go, hey, 1130 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,400 Speaker 20: I don't care about the green shoots, show me the 1131 00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 20: damn flower. 1132 00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 2: Do you think, though, Tim, I mean the narrative thing. 1133 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 2: Do you think that that narrative. I think that narrative matters, 1134 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,399 Speaker 2: And which is why I'm keen to get out there 1135 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 2: the under the hood there are some good stuff, because 1136 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 2: I worry that this kind of thing might just might 1137 00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:12,960 Speaker 2: just put a bit more of a wobble on the 1138 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 2: recovery than is necessary. What do you think? 1139 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 20: Yeah, And that's you know, when I was listening to 1140 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 20: your conversation with Brad Olsen, and I guess well, as 1141 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 20: a disposition has a great effect on the economy. So 1142 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 20: people are feeling pessimistic, and Brad were saying, you know what, 1143 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,399 Speaker 20: the reason that people are so pessimistic was because they're 1144 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 20: perhaps a bit optimistic last year. So absolutely narrative dominates. 1145 00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,799 Speaker 7: What do you reckon, Jack, Yeah, I agree. I think 1146 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,320 Speaker 7: timing is kind of everything, right. So it's interesting that 1147 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,279 Speaker 7: when summer was upon us at the end of last year, 1148 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 7: you sawt some of those sentiment numbers start to increase. 1149 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 7: Everyone was feeling a bit rosier. Then you go through 1150 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 7: a wet, pretty pretty grim summer in parts of much 1151 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 7: of the country, all of a sudden, the unemployment numbers 1152 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 7: come in just like you know, point one of a 1153 00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 7: percent higher than some analysts were expecting. And I mean 1154 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 7: it's still worse than any analysts were expecting, as the 1155 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 7: Finance Minister point out last year is actually lower than 1156 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 7: what they were expecting at the last hi fu. But 1157 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,720 Speaker 7: add that together with the inflation numbers coming in slightly 1158 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:12,880 Speaker 7: higher than analysts expect and all of a sudden you 1159 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 7: can feel people starting to grumble again. But you know, 1160 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 7: I still think there is plenty of reason to feel 1161 00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,840 Speaker 7: relatively positive, that we are kind of at the bottom 1162 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 7: and that things are starting to improve. But these things 1163 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 7: take time, and it might be a case of waiting 1164 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,000 Speaker 7: for the next couple of jobs done days before we 1165 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,640 Speaker 7: really see a turnerant Jack. 1166 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 20: Jack stopped with the optimistic stuff because I wanted to 1167 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,880 Speaker 20: get here to swap her Wrangler Jeep for my Suzuki Swift. 1168 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 2: So can we just staye how much is the insurance 1169 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:41,920 Speaker 2: on your Suzuki Swift team? 1170 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 20: They don't have a great safety record, actually, but can 1171 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 20: we take this offline? 1172 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,600 Speaker 7: You only had third party though, right, tell me you're 1173 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,480 Speaker 7: not actually ensuring to replace your car? 1174 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 20: Of course, of course you can't be driving around with 1175 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,240 Speaker 20: third Well, yeah, I know I do have first. 1176 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 2: You should only be concerned about the other car. 1177 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 7: You honestly, honestly, i've said passenger in that you have 1178 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 7: appreciated the lift. 1179 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:14,680 Speaker 2: But you know what, so Jack, this is not a 1180 00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,319 Speaker 2: real because I thought you were about to give us 1181 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 2: a lesson in insurance about like only ever do third party? 1182 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 2: That's this is not. 1183 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 7: Worth if you have a car worth more than two 1184 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 7: thousand dollars. And sure you can, right, I'm sure there's 1185 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,280 Speaker 7: there's about what I've been in Tim Suzuki fift. 1186 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 20: I promise you the cars, the cars got to be 1187 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,640 Speaker 20: worth at least five that'll swap for the wring Leer's 1188 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,760 Speaker 20: come on, I don't. 1189 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 2: Know, mate, I don't know, but you know what, just 1190 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 2: because of the insurance, the cost of this insurance, Mum 1191 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 2: almost want to do the swap with you, just so 1192 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,239 Speaker 2: you see if you can cope with that. Do you 1193 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 2: think Jack, that I have been unfair on David Seymour. 1194 00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 7: Well, no, and I've got I've got some free to 1195 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 7: a big AXT supporters and funnily enough, like having a 1196 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 7: conversation with them a couple of weeks ago and I said, oh, 1197 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 7: it looks like some version of the Treaty principles issue 1198 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 7: was going to be you know, it's going to be 1199 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,319 Speaker 7: a big part of X campaign going into November this year. 1200 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,279 Speaker 7: And they were like, honestly, I love David seymore when 1201 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 7: he's talking about the economy. I agree with him on 1202 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 7: Treaty principles, but the economy is driving everything for me, right, now, 1203 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 7: and I just want him to focus on that. 1204 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 5: Now. 1205 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 7: I don't know how representative that is for X voters. 1206 00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,760 Speaker 7: I reckon you could probably draw a ven diagram and 1207 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 7: maybe a third would say they only they primarily care 1208 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 7: about the economy. Maybe a third would say they care 1209 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 7: about the treaty principles. Maybe a third care about both. 1210 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 7: But I would hit my bets that actually a majority 1211 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 7: of his supporter coming from people who would prefer to 1212 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,840 Speaker 7: see him prioritize some of the economic messaging. 1213 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 2: Okay, I want to get your take on it, Tim, 1214 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 2: but let me get you after the break. We'll just 1215 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 2: take one right now at sixteen away. 1216 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: From six the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Real Team, 1217 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: the only truly global brand. 1218 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 2: Right back with the huddle, Tim Wilson, Jack Tame, Tim, 1219 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 2: what's your take? 1220 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 20: Yeah, look, we'll let all let ourbed have traction. Yeah, 1221 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 20: I think it will. But within the act base. If 1222 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,160 Speaker 20: he wants to expand the base, I think you're right. 1223 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 20: We're talking about the economic selection and all of that stuff. 1224 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 20: The tax talk will likely expand the basis, like, well, 1225 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 20: here's why you deserve more money? Oh I do need 1226 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 20: more money? 1227 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, And don't you think also, though, Tim, that there 1228 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 2: is a part of this where where David Seymour has 1229 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 2: become a little bit of a spoiler in the coalition, 1230 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 2: like if if you can at one end be a statesman, 1231 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,240 Speaker 2: at the other end of brat, he's leaning more towards 1232 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 2: the Bratt thing. And I think that part of it 1233 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,480 Speaker 2: is because he doesn't seem to be doing things that 1234 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 2: are necessarily constructive, right, and so maybe and I think 1235 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 2: unfortunately talk about race relations leads you down that path 1236 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 2: a little bit. He needs to probably roll a little 1237 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,959 Speaker 2: bit back more towards being more of a statesman. Don't 1238 00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 2: you think. 1239 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 20: I actually quite like that he provokes the discussion because often, 1240 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 20: you know, because like to run. 1241 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 2: Buttim, what's the point in provoking without actually you. 1242 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,919 Speaker 20: Know what, Yeah, you called me, I use the wrong 1243 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 20: verb encourage the discussion stuff. Often often that encouragement comes 1244 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 20: in the form of a provocation that's not useful. So, 1245 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 20: but I do I would say New Zealanders tend to 1246 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 20: run to consensus, so we do run away from fleary 1247 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,800 Speaker 20: sort of scary issues. And I think that's problematic for us. 1248 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, Jack, listen, Should Wellingtonians be angry about 1249 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 2: the poo going into Lylebury. 1250 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,400 Speaker 7: It's not just the pop and people in christ it 1251 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 7: should be incensed about the stench over a third of 1252 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 7: the city at the moment as well. It's just so poor. 1253 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,040 Speaker 7: I mean, it's just I mean, it's unbelievable that that 1254 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 7: heading into the white Hanging weekend in the middle of summer. 1255 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 7: Not that those South Bays are notorious are having like 1256 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 7: beautiful warm swimming conditions in the middle of summer, but 1257 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 7: it's just outrageous that our capital city. 1258 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 2: This was awesome today, Jack and a bunch of courses. 1259 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 20: Law. 1260 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it went in and they just they just took 1261 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 2: their chances with the poop. 1262 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 7: There's no way how would be doing that.

Okay, Now listen, Tim, I am 1297 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 2: not sold at all on this argument that Jackson Street 1298 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,920 Speaker 2: is now the coolest place in Wellington because they've got 1299 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 2: a bunch of op shops.

I was surprised at how 1318 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 7: late the music from all the local bars was pumping. 1319 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 7: So now Jackson Street does have something going. 1320 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 2: What were you doing on jet? Why were you down there? 1321 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:29,000 Speaker 15: Ah? 1322 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:34,439 Speaker 7: The extended family are in Lower Harts you well, yeah, Jack, 1323 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 7: come on, you're spending your summer in front of a 1324 01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 7: tar on the corinandel I was, I was a low hut. 1325 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:42,200 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1326 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 5: So you're. 1327 01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 2: Like vampirical, is it? 1328 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:46,640 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1329 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1330 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, No, I actually I do you know what 1331 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:50,160 Speaker 7: it has? 1332 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:50,600 Speaker 9: Character? 1333 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,800 Speaker 7: It does have character, an underrated character. I reckon Lower 1334 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 7: Heart in Patuni in particular. So is it coler in 1335 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,600 Speaker 7: Cuba Street though I'm not sure. 1336 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 2: I go there, but probably not with It's pretty cool, guys, 1337 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 2: Thanks very much, appreciate it. Tim, look after yourselves. Tim Wilson, 1338 01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,360 Speaker 2: Maximum Institute, Jack Tayme, host of Saturday Mornings in Q 1339 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 2: and A. It's right away from six. 1340 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Duper c Allen Drive Full Show podcast 1341 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,919 Speaker 1: on my Art Radio powered by News Talk ZB. 1342 01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 2: So you might' it's kind of been a little bit 1343 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,000 Speaker 2: lost in the news today because of you know, AA 1344 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 2: Insurance pulling out with the new policies, at least out 1345 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 2: of Renwick and cent and sedd and Blenham but it 1346 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 2: is important to note that the government has ordered a 1347 01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 2: review into insurance. Right, Nicola Willis has decided to issue 1348 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 2: a review into insurance. It's interesting personally, I find it 1349 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,480 Speaker 2: interesting just because she did that last night. So we 1350 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,640 Speaker 2: talked to her on the show Monday about insurance, no 1351 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 2: mention of it. Twenty four hours later she issues the review. 1352 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 2: Now fair enough because the thing has kind of cropped 1353 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 2: up just well, I want it to be fair to 1354 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:51,000 Speaker 2: her and say the thing has just cropped up recently, 1355 01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 2: but truly it has actually been on the card since 1356 01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 2: the slip. That's like an obvious place it was going 1357 01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,960 Speaker 2: to go. But anyway, I mean, you know, it's better better, 1358 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,840 Speaker 2: nothing better, something than nothing right, better late than ever. 1359 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,680 Speaker 2: So we will talk to genatib Charny, who's going to 1360 01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,640 Speaker 2: be with us after half past six about then, and 1361 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 2: of course Nikola Willis again on Monday when she's with us. 1362 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 5: Here's a question for you. 1363 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 2: Is the executive assistant job a job that is dying 1364 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,960 Speaker 2: at least in so far as being placed in expensive 1365 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,240 Speaker 2: labor markets like New Zealand. And the reason I'm asking 1366 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 2: is is because over in Australia, KPMG, which is obviously 1367 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,640 Speaker 2: one of Australia's largest consultancy firms. They apparently are cutting 1368 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,480 Speaker 2: most of their EAS based in Ozzie, so about two 1369 01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 2: hundred of them are going to get the chop. It's 1370 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 2: about one hundred in the first trunche and then one 1371 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,840 Speaker 2: hundred and the second trunchry by mid next By mid 1372 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 2: this year, the only people who will have EA's on 1373 01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 2: the ground in Australia will be the most senior staff 1374 01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 2: in KPMG. They are instead hiring eas in the Philippines 1375 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 2: in order to cut costs. Now that is I mean, 1376 01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 2: you know, outsourcing to other countries is obviously not something 1377 01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 2: that's new. We've been doing it forever with the call 1378 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 2: centers and stuff. I guess it's just interesting to do 1379 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 2: it with a job that you would not have previously 1380 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,560 Speaker 2: associated with being able to be outsourced, like a call center. 1381 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 2: Work fine, but you'd expect your EA to run into 1382 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 2: your EA in the office and tell them blah blah 1383 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 2: blah what to do. 1384 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 5: But no. 1385 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 2: According to SEEK in Australia, the personal assistant category, the 1386 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 2: executive assistant category and the secretarial roles have all been 1387 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,400 Speaker 2: declining steadily for the past years and just across the 1388 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 2: calendar year. Last year they were down eighteen percent. That 1389 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 2: is way above the average for all the other jobs. Incidentally, 1390 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,800 Speaker 2: a member of my family hired an EA and had 1391 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 2: a look at getting one in New Zealand's first time 1392 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 2: hiring an EA. Was going to get one in New Zealand, 1393 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,160 Speaker 2: you know, normal New Zealand costs. Decided instead to get 1394 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 2: one in Southeast Asia somewhere. I think it might be 1395 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 2: the Philippines, but I don't want to say that because 1396 01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,800 Speaker 2: I could be Rocks just somewhere around there anyway, loves 1397 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:56,960 Speaker 2: them that were just super proficient, brilliant English wouldn't even 1398 01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,000 Speaker 2: know that this person is not based in New Zealand. 1399 01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 2: So I'm just thinking that this might be the future. 1400 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,680 Speaker 2: Here we are worrying about AI taking our jobs, but 1401 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 2: you know, even jobs previously immune just being taken by 1402 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 2: Southeast Asia still. Anyway, Next up, let's have a chat 1403 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 2: about this business that's just got thirty five million dollars 1404 01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:13,920 Speaker 2: from the government. Newsclog zib. 1405 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 1: Quere Business com meets Insight the Business Hour with header 1406 01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 1: duplessy Elent and mass Insurance and Investments Your futures in 1407 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 1: good Hands. News talksb. 1408 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 2: Even in coming up in the next hour, Genative Chariney's 1409 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 2: going to talk us through just what we can get 1410 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 2: out of this government review into insurance. Milford Asset Management 1411 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 2: will talk us through what happened to the software shares 1412 01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 2: and that hammering they took overnight. And then of course 1413 01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 2: we'll go to the UK get you the latest on 1414 01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 2: Andrew and it's not good news for him. Seven past six. 1415 01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:53,080 Speaker 2: Now the government is putting thirty five million dollars into 1416 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,880 Speaker 2: a local fusion energy company. Now that's a reasonable injection 1417 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 2: of taxpayer money, especially given no one in the world 1418 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 2: appears to have cracked fusion energy you just yet. Fusion is, 1419 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,360 Speaker 2: by the way, the process that powers the sun and 1420 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:07,439 Speaker 2: the stars. And Ratumataida is the CEO of Open Star 1421 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:12,200 Speaker 2: Technologies based in Wellington. That Ratu Hello, Hello Heather, thank 1422 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,240 Speaker 2: you for having me on. Yeah, no, you're welcome. Thirty 1423 01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 2: five million dollars is a fair chunk of change. What 1424 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 2: are you going to do with it? 1425 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 18: So their capital is there to help support building a 1426 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 18: facility in New Zealand that will allow us to undertake 1427 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 18: our next major project, that's building a device we call Tahi. 1428 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 18: And so we are the ones who have to go 1429 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 18: raise the capital to actually build the machine, but the 1430 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,840 Speaker 18: government is effectively stepping in to help build the facility 1431 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,000 Speaker 18: that we need to be able to do that. 1432 01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 2: And Altiro, Okay, if you raise the money for Tahi, 1433 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:44,920 Speaker 2: what does TAHI do? 1434 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:52,920 Speaker 18: So Tahi is a global scale fusion demonstration device. So 1435 01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 18: really what we're looking at is lots of different ways 1436 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 18: of doing fusion, and open Star is pushing forward a 1437 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 18: particular approach. We basically need to show the world that 1438 01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 18: our approach is as valid, if not absolutely better than 1439 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:11,000 Speaker 18: the other ways that people have done this before. Tahi 1440 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 18: is of a scale that will actually achieve that in 1441 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 18: a way that scientists, engineers, business people, government governments across 1442 01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:25,479 Speaker 18: the world will have no choice but to recognize how. 1443 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 2: Far away do you reckon? We are years wise, time 1444 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 2: wise from being able to actually crack fusion energy and 1445 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 2: make it work. 1446 01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 18: So there's a couple of steps to that. I think 1447 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 18: very legitimately it will be the early twenty thirties where 1448 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 18: we see more energy out than in and actually giving 1449 01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 18: people electricity out of a fusion machine. Now that's not 1450 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 18: really what you're asking. The real question is when will 1451 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,439 Speaker 18: it impact people's lives? When will people see a reduction 1452 01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 18: in their power bill because we have few reactors being 1453 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,519 Speaker 18: deployed around the world, and that's actually, you know, probably 1454 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 18: the real challenge. There's no point developing these machines if 1455 01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 18: they can't solve problems for real people in their everyday lives. 1456 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 18: And that's a challenge that starts. You know, we've got 1457 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,519 Speaker 18: a good shot at in the early twenty thirties, but 1458 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 18: we'll be spending the decade and the decade after that 1459 01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,680 Speaker 18: rolling that out to humanity and hopefully, yeah, making the 1460 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 18: difference that needs to be made. 1461 01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:28,960 Speaker 2: So ten plus years possibly. 1462 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 18: For that first impact. 1463 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So what does the government get for thirty 1464 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:36,880 Speaker 2: five million dollars? Does it get a stake in the business. 1465 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,080 Speaker 18: There is potentially a portion of that arrangement. I won't 1466 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 18: get into details on that, but there is room for 1467 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 18: something like that. But importantly, the reason why we're focused 1468 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:54,000 Speaker 18: on a facility is to balance the risk reward for 1469 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,080 Speaker 18: say the private investors into open Star, who are taking 1470 01:09:58,120 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 18: a bet on us as a technology and a team, 1471 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,679 Speaker 18: versus the government who have to take a longer term view. 1472 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 18: And so the support being focused on a facility means 1473 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 18: that we come in we build Tahi, but that facility 1474 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:15,800 Speaker 18: will exist after Tahi is complete. It will exist after 1475 01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,840 Speaker 18: open Star is done. And I can tell you that 1476 01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 18: we are not the only project that could use a 1477 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 18: facility like that, because these kinds of facilities exist around 1478 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:27,480 Speaker 18: the world and it's time that New Zealand had that infrastructure. 1479 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair enough, Thank you very much. I really 1480 01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 2: appreciate Usumatita Open Star Technology CEO. It's eleven past. 1481 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 1: Six, Heather dup c Allen. 1482 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 2: You will have caught the news just in the sports 1483 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 2: bulletsin there that this has just come out of Australia 1484 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 2: that we're getting a state of Origin game over here 1485 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:43,719 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. 1486 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:44,479 Speaker 3: We already know this. 1487 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 2: We already know this if you listen to news Dog 1488 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,559 Speaker 2: Zebe Drive, because once upon a time, Louise Upston, our 1489 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 2: favorite Bogan, was on the show and just you know, 1490 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 2: underscoring her Bogan credentials, did leat slip that we were 1491 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 2: going to get getting the Rugby League coming to Eden Park. 1492 01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,439 Speaker 2: So we already knew it. And then there has been 1493 01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,800 Speaker 2: a bit of news has been leaking out of Australia, 1494 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,280 Speaker 2: some news in October, some news in December, and so 1495 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,519 Speaker 2: it's not altogether a surprise. But what we have confirmed 1496 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 2: now is that it's called the Anzac Origin, that it 1497 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 2: is costing US five million dollars coming out of that 1498 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 2: major events funding, that the parties had reached in an 1499 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:19,000 Speaker 2: in principal agreement before Christmas last year, that they signed 1500 01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,240 Speaker 2: documents a couple of weeks ago. Documents have now been 1501 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,640 Speaker 2: sent to the nral lawyers to be rubber stamped, and 1502 01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,639 Speaker 2: it would be and when it comes in twenty twenty 1503 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,639 Speaker 2: seven will be the first game to leave Australia since 1504 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,920 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven, so the first game in forty years 1505 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:34,360 Speaker 2: to leave Australia and the last one to leave Australia 1506 01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 2: went to California. So that's not half bad. And if 1507 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,439 Speaker 2: you're not sure about the Bogan's, brace yourself because I'll 1508 01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 2: be a horde of Bogan's coming from Australia to watch that. 1509 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,840 Speaker 2: So that'll be quite fun. Now Prince Andrew, well, Andrew 1510 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:50,960 Speaker 2: mount Batten, he's been thrown out of Royal Lodge and 1511 01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,519 Speaker 2: it happened on account of the Epstein files. Now this 1512 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,400 Speaker 2: was again you'll be like, well, this is not news 1513 01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:56,640 Speaker 2: to me. I knew this was going to happen, but 1514 01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 2: this was going to happen before Easter, so there was 1515 01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 2: quite a bit of runway left before he had to 1516 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 2: be turfed out. But because of what's been coming out 1517 01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:04,800 Speaker 2: of the Epstein files and being on your hands and 1518 01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,960 Speaker 2: knees leaning over a woman raising all kinds of questions 1519 01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 2: with what the heck is going on there, King Charles 1520 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,760 Speaker 2: has obviously gone was this way too? Will could mate? 1521 01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,080 Speaker 2: You've got to leave now. He hasn't even finished packing. 1522 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 2: This is Andrew, So Andrew's going to be having to 1523 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,120 Speaker 2: be having to go back to the place to pack up. 1524 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 2: He are left in the dark. So he waited for 1525 01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:26,680 Speaker 2: waited for night to fall before he drove out, presumably 1526 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 2: because he's completely humiliated, as he should be by this, 1527 01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,479 Speaker 2: and this is like, look, there's still a little bit 1528 01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,400 Speaker 2: left there that Charles can do to punish him. But 1529 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,400 Speaker 2: this is Charles really getting to I mean, there's not 1530 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,479 Speaker 2: a lot left to take away from Andrew when you've 1531 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 2: turfed him out of his house. Anyway, we will go 1532 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 2: to the UK and get you an update on that 1533 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 2: in about half an hour's time. Right now, it's thirteen 1534 01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 2: past six. 1535 01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 1: It's the Heather Dupasy Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1536 01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 1: my Heart Radio and powered by news dog Zebbi.

My accountant has many staff in Malaysia. 1542 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,439 Speaker 2: Since all requests late in the day, they are all 1543 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 2: answered and the reports are all done by seven every morning, 1544 01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,120 Speaker 2: and for a third of the cost, his staff get 1545 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,479 Speaker 2: paid New Zealand rates. Get that New Zealand rates, but 1546 01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,800 Speaker 2: of course none of the stupid and restricting employment costs 1547 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,240 Speaker 2: that are loaded on New Zealand companies. Very interesting. Seventeen 1548 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,760 Speaker 2: past six Milford Asset Management Luke. Michael Luke is with 1549 01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 2: US high Michael. 1550 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:34,519 Speaker 8: Hey ever, how's it going you? 1551 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:35,160 Speaker 5: Very good? Thank you? 1552 01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,240 Speaker 2: Now, I see the software shares been hammered overnight in 1553 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,439 Speaker 2: the US and then locally today. What's been going on? 1554 01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been a tough day and monthaily for the 1555 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:46,720 Speaker 8: software sector. Now the falls today follow and Throperk, the 1556 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 8: company behind the AI model, Claud releasing new AI IT 1557 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,560 Speaker 8: tools including a legal plug and aimed at automating some 1558 01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,040 Speaker 8: legal work. They saw companies like Thompson Reuter's, which is 1559 01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 8: a major legal software provider full fifteen sent overnight. All 1560 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,679 Speaker 8: other software companies like Salesforce selves are foul seven percent, 1561 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,040 Speaker 8: and locally we weren't spared either, with zero share price 1562 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 8: falling fifteen percent today, the share price of many of 1563 01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,639 Speaker 8: these software companies have now fallen up to forty percent 1564 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 8: over the past few months, which is a pretty staggering move. 1565 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 2: Really, why is it that the software companies have fallen 1566 01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,080 Speaker 2: so much recently because I thought AI was supposed to 1567 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 2: be good for these businesses. 1568 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a really interesting shift that we've seen in 1569 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 8: an investor sentiments where last year many of these software 1570 01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:33,679 Speaker 8: companies were actually meant to be AI beneficiaries, using AI 1571 01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,479 Speaker 8: to make writing code cheaper as well as selling new 1572 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,400 Speaker 8: features to their customers. Will now they're directly in the 1573 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,840 Speaker 8: firing line where there's a big growing debate over weather 1574 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,719 Speaker 8: AI coding assistance like calord code will actually disrupt software 1575 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:52,000 Speaker 8: and actually enable new competitors, including potentially allowing companies to 1576 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 8: write their own software internally instead of buying it from 1577 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,160 Speaker 8: existing providers, so the narrative has completely flipped from software 1578 01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,360 Speaker 8: companies being a bete fishery to now being potential victims. 1579 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:05,759 Speaker 2: Do you think AI will actually disrupt these software businesses? 1580 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,760 Speaker 8: Lurk Well, I think a big part of the reason 1581 01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,840 Speaker 8: these software companies have fallen so much is that it's 1582 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:16,280 Speaker 8: actually a really hard narrative to completely disprove, where the 1583 01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 8: question is how good are these AI tools going to 1584 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,519 Speaker 8: be in the future, and predicting the future is hard. 1585 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 5: Now. 1586 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,840 Speaker 8: Some of these software companies were also trading at very 1587 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,719 Speaker 8: high valuations previously, so they will be impacted by changes 1588 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,559 Speaker 8: and long term growth assumptions. But there are a few 1589 01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:35,439 Speaker 8: things that are aware remembering. Firstly, when you're buying software 1590 01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,160 Speaker 8: from the likes of a zero or Salesforce, you're not 1591 01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:40,880 Speaker 8: just buying the code. You're getting a company to make 1592 01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,760 Speaker 8: it run for you, stay updated, maintain high security, and 1593 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,040 Speaker 8: often deliver a number of data integrations and compliance features 1594 01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 8: which can be really difficult to replicate. Secondly, it can 1595 01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,680 Speaker 8: also be very painful to switch software providers when it 1596 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,240 Speaker 8: comes to moving all your data, your workflows, your customer integrations, 1597 01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,600 Speaker 8: learning to use the new system, So there has to 1598 01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,839 Speaker 8: be a really compelling reason to shift if your existing 1599 01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,920 Speaker 8: software is working pretty well and not breaking the bank. 1600 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 8: That said, these tools like Claude will keep getting better 1601 01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 8: and could enable more competition over time. 1602 01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 2: Now, is this do you think than a buying opportunity? 1603 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,960 Speaker 8: That's the big question. And we have seen a big 1604 01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:25,400 Speaker 8: reaction and likely a very big over reaction for a 1605 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,840 Speaker 8: number of companies out there. So there will be some 1606 01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:31,519 Speaker 8: great opportunities, but investors do need to be selective as 1607 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,680 Speaker 8: there likely will be some companies disrupted, even if it's 1608 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,439 Speaker 8: just as slow down and growth. And we've seen pretty 1609 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:41,080 Speaker 8: large negative share price reactions to recent software company results 1610 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 8: like Microsoft and SAP with growth missed investor expectations. So 1611 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,800 Speaker 8: it's all about finding the right investment where the share 1612 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,080 Speaker 8: market is maybe overreacted to the risks of AI disruption, 1613 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 8: while trying to avoid those companies where they actually are 1614 01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 8: really risks and maybe those risks are still underpriced. 1615 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 2: Michael is good to talk to you for running us 1616 01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,320 Speaker 2: through at Michael Luke Milford Asset Management. Hither they've been 1617 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,439 Speaker 2: trying to get fusion power since the Zeta experiment in 1618 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,360 Speaker 2: the sixties. It's a bit like trying to construct a 1619 01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 2: construct a perpetual motion machine. Problems physics keeps getting in 1620 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:13,719 Speaker 2: the way, Bruce, Thank you, six twenty. 1621 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro micro or just plain economics. It's all 1622 01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:22,840 Speaker 1: on the Business Hour with Heather dupericl and MAS Insurance 1623 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:26,840 Speaker 1: and Investments, Your futures in good Hands, News Talks V. 1624 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 2: She's I don't know if you're following the psychodrama that's 1625 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:34,000 Speaker 2: going it's going on with the opposition parties in Australia. 1626 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 2: It's getting worse. So the Liberals and the Nationals, the 1627 01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 2: leaders were supposed to meet today and they're supposed to 1628 01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:44,200 Speaker 2: sort it all out. In the meantime in Parliament, back 1629 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,160 Speaker 2: back in the actual political houses, they're trying to boot 1630 01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 2: each other off committees and. 1631 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:48,640 Speaker 20: Stuff like this. 1632 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,040 Speaker 2: It's making it so much harder for themselves. Whatever. It 1633 01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 2: is interesting. Do you know what it is interesting to watch? 1634 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:58,000 Speaker 2: Because it is interesting. I just find it fastened. They 1635 01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:01,920 Speaker 2: had elbow on the ropes. They had elbow on the ropes. 1636 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,840 Speaker 2: He had stuffed up that BONDI thing like nothing. He 1637 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:07,880 Speaker 2: was in so much trouble over that, and then they 1638 01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,040 Speaker 2: decided to squabble with each other. And isn't it weird 1639 01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,040 Speaker 2: that you can get so incensed by something that you 1640 01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:18,639 Speaker 2: completely self combust and just ruin everything yourself. It's just wild. Anyways, 1641 01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,559 Speaker 2: it's just a lot of people needed to go, you know, well, 1642 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 2: have a big take a deep breath. It's like the 1643 01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 2: stuff we teach the toddlers at EC take a deep breath, 1644 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 2: punch a pillow if you have to, but don't don't 1645 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 2: fight with each other in public. And yet they did. Anyway, 1646 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,360 Speaker 2: That's that's promising to be fun for the next few weeks. 1647 01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:35,960 Speaker 2: It's six twenty four. Big round of redundancies at the 1648 01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:38,600 Speaker 2: warehouse announced today as part of a tidy up of 1649 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,720 Speaker 2: that business. Now you know that the media will do 1650 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 2: the traditional thing where they go, oh, look at all 1651 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,320 Speaker 2: these redundancies, but that business, that business needs a tidy up. 1652 01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,519 Speaker 2: So your choice. You either have people employed in a 1653 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 2: failing business or you have a business that tries to 1654 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 2: save itself and that's what it's doing. So they're cutting 1655 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,559 Speaker 2: around two hundred and seventy jobs at a head office 1656 01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,160 Speaker 2: in Auckland and it's basically according to the new CEO, 1657 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:00,839 Speaker 2: the chap has been brought in from South Africa basically 1658 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,280 Speaker 2: doing it because the cost base is just too high 1659 01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 2: for a low price retailer. So what it means is 1660 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 2: they're going to have about six million dollars worth of 1661 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,800 Speaker 2: redundancy this year, and then they're going to save three 1662 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 2: to four million dollars a year in labor costs. But 1663 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,040 Speaker 2: they're also saving a lot more money through what they're 1664 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 2: calling a cosourcing model with Tougher Consulting Services. So basically 1665 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,320 Speaker 2: they manage some of their functions together, like admin, technology, accounting, 1666 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 2: the call center's payroll and so on, and that saves 1667 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,720 Speaker 2: them approximately seventeen million dollars a year by twenty thirty one. 1668 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,160 Speaker 2: And that is on top of the forty million dollars 1669 01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:34,240 Speaker 2: they reckon they're already going to save over the next 1670 01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:37,959 Speaker 2: five years by sharing licenses and managed services with TCS. 1671 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 2: So you can see, I mean they're stripping out a 1672 01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 2: fair bit there, and it sounds lest on the face 1673 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,000 Speaker 2: of it, like it's probably it's probably a smart mood 1674 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:45,639 Speaker 2: and necessary. Six to twenty five. 1675 01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,120 Speaker 1: There's no business like show business. 1676 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:55,640 Speaker 2: Devil whez Prata number two trailers dropped today gave us 1677 01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:59,719 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. Merril Street and Hathaway and Emily Blunt reunite 1678 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,599 Speaker 2: for the equal but Streep's character Miranda Priestley doesn't seem 1679 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,120 Speaker 2: to have a clue that there was actually ever a 1680 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 2: first installment. The trailer shows us the return of Andrea 1681 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,920 Speaker 2: Sachs to Runway Magazine, where Priestley still works as the 1682 01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,640 Speaker 2: editor in Chef, and Emily Charlton is back of some 1683 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,760 Speaker 2: kind of luxury conglomerate with no clear title. And that's 1684 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,679 Speaker 2: about all we were given, apart from some Priestly almost 1685 01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,960 Speaker 2: ignoring the fact that the first movie happened. 1686 01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:27,240 Speaker 3: Hello, Well look what TJ lackstray dem Sorry? 1687 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:28,280 Speaker 1: Who is this? 1688 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 9: Do you know her? 1689 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 16: Do I know her? 1690 01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:32,800 Speaker 2: I'm Andy Sachs, Andrea. 1691 01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 1: She was one of the emilies of the What And 1692 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:36,800 Speaker 1: there's more? 1693 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 2: Am I having a hallucination? 1694 01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,160 Speaker 1: Emily?

It sounds like Deman shell or something. Anyway, 1697 01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,160 Speaker 2: So I don't know if I should be excited about this, because, 1698 01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,920 Speaker 2: to be honest, I have no idea what's going on 1699 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,760 Speaker 2: in nor do you. If somebody's completely forgotten their past, 1700 01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 2: which we all remember, it's quite frightening in real life, 1701 01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 2: so it's going to be frightening on screen as well. 1702 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,760 Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll get a second tray so that you know, 1703 01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 2: we can just we can just clear it all up. 1704 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:10,839 Speaker 2: And that's all. That's all, Oh dear, that's all anyway, 1705 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:14,439 Speaker 2: So genatuve trown serious matters like insurance, which should be 1706 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:15,840 Speaker 2: freaking us all out as well. We're going to talk 1707 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:18,560 Speaker 2: to Genative Trainey about that very shortly. Stand by this 1708 01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:20,599 Speaker 2: of the government review obviously, news is next. 1709 01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:26,640 Speaker 5: Oh you found it. 1710 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,639 Speaker 2: Insporation, your friend friend. 1711 01:21:36,640 --> 01:22:00,400 Speaker 1: You everything from s E S to the Big Breads, 1712 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:02,960 Speaker 1: the Business Hour with the Hand, the Duple c Allen 1713 01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:07,240 Speaker 1: and mass insurance and investments, your futures in good hands, 1714 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 1: used talks that'd be. 1715 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 2: There getting absolutely tired of the Andrew updates and the 1716 01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,599 Speaker 2: Epstein updates and so on. But there is one more 1717 01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:24,880 Speaker 2: that's probably worth drawing to your attention. There is an 1718 01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,320 Speaker 2: email that was sent by some we don't know who, 1719 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:29,639 Speaker 2: but was sent. It was somebody who'd gone to see 1720 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 2: Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and then had emailed Epstein about 1721 01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 2: it and said that Andrew was considering abdicating from the 1722 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 2: royal family because the Queen, the late Queen, had told 1723 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,479 Speaker 2: his daughters to get a job, which was some would say, 1724 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 2: some would say was firm parenting actually and may be necessary. 1725 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:49,640 Speaker 2: And apparently he felt like he was living like a 1726 01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 2: zoo animal in royal life with no way for him 1727 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:54,920 Speaker 2: to thrive, and that stuff was bad for his girls 1728 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:56,880 Speaker 2: and so on. What I thought was more interesting about 1729 01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,439 Speaker 2: the email is that this random person also then told 1730 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 2: Epstein that they had I'm assuming she because she's doing yoga, 1731 01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,800 Speaker 2: I know, typecasting, but she had said to Epstein, I 1732 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:10,719 Speaker 2: dropped my laundry around to Andrew and Sarah, and Sarah 1733 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,479 Speaker 2: was not amused. Well, no surprise, mate, who are you? 1734 01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 2: Who is this who was not a child of mind 1735 01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,880 Speaker 2: dropping laundry around? But they needed yoga clothes, she said, 1736 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,719 Speaker 2: is by way of explanation, twenty four away from seven. 1737 01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:25,599 Speaker 1: Heather Dooper was the ala. 1738 01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,839 Speaker 2: The government's announced it's looking into why your insurance premiums 1739 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 2: are so high. 1740 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:29,640 Speaker 6: Now. 1741 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,839 Speaker 2: The Herald, Wellington Business editor Jane Tibshraney says the exercise 1742 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,040 Speaker 2: is worthy, but probably I'm not going to change a 1743 01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,799 Speaker 2: lot for you if you have home insurance and Jane's 1744 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,760 Speaker 2: with us now, Jenae, Hello, hi Heather, Now why do 1745 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 2: you think this? 1746 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:43,519 Speaker 5: Well? 1747 01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:46,519 Speaker 10: Firstly, I believe that this government at least is not 1748 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:51,360 Speaker 10: interested in interfering with the market. The market is actually 1749 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 10: conveniently helping the government by making it too expensive for 1750 01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,479 Speaker 10: you to get insurance and risky paces. I mean, this 1751 01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,280 Speaker 10: has been how you know, for some time in Wellington 1752 01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:06,760 Speaker 10: due to earthquake risk, and we're seeing it increasingly with 1753 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:11,439 Speaker 10: flood risk. It's actually convenient for the government if the 1754 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:16,120 Speaker 10: insurance becomes too expensive and people move to safer places. 1755 01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 10: I think the government's kind of aware that if it 1756 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 10: sort of tries to soften the blow of the risk 1757 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,040 Speaker 10: based pricing the insurance do, it could create moral hazards. 1758 01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:28,880 Speaker 10: So it could make you think, well, I may as 1759 01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,280 Speaker 10: well just move somewhere risky because the government will bail 1760 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,439 Speaker 10: me out anyway, you know, and that's not particularly helpful. 1761 01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:38,120 Speaker 10: So I think that's one fact. Also, back in twenty 1762 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,600 Speaker 10: twenty four, I talked to Nikola Willis about why she 1763 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 10: had got the Treasury to stop looking at how the 1764 01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:47,960 Speaker 10: government could respond to risk based pricing. Treasury was doing 1765 01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,400 Speaker 10: some policy work at the time she wanted it stopped, 1766 01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:54,040 Speaker 10: and she said, look, she wasn't going to intervene in 1767 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 10: the market. That's what she said back in twenty twenty 1768 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:59,000 Speaker 10: four and that you know, the government was better placed 1769 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 10: looking at climate adaptation, you know, issues around consenting that 1770 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:08,240 Speaker 10: type of thing. So basically, I genuinely don't think the 1771 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 10: government is interested in intervening in the market. 1772 01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:16,400 Speaker 2: Okay, that is fair enough, but can they not assist 1773 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,720 Speaker 2: I mean, regardless of whether they want to intervene or not. 1774 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:20,200 Speaker 2: And I think they are doing the right thing. It 1775 01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,920 Speaker 2: is becoming unaffordable for some people, and you could argue 1776 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,519 Speaker 2: people who are actually not at that much risk because 1777 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,320 Speaker 2: of the way the thing is priced. Could they not 1778 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:32,080 Speaker 2: change things about the capital requirements for insurance companies to 1779 01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:32,960 Speaker 2: make it a bit cheaper. 1780 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, so, I mean, this is the thing 1781 01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:39,560 Speaker 10: with this whole topic. I agree entirely that it is, 1782 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,400 Speaker 10: you know, rough, and it's unfair. And if you know, 1783 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:44,880 Speaker 10: you've bought a piece of land and you plan to 1784 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:47,439 Speaker 10: build on it and that's your retirement plan and you've 1785 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,559 Speaker 10: never seen it flood, and then suddenly the government comes 1786 01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,320 Speaker 10: in and says you can't build on it now because 1787 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,600 Speaker 10: of climate change, you know you're not going to be 1788 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 10: particularly happy. So of course, you know, it's a tough issue. 1789 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:00,840 Speaker 9: That the issue. 1790 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,479 Speaker 10: Yeah, the area that I think the government might move 1791 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 10: on is the amount of capital that it requires, well 1792 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:10,639 Speaker 10: that the Reserve Bank requires insurers to hold. So people 1793 01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,400 Speaker 10: will recall that recently the Reserve banks said it would 1794 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,920 Speaker 10: allow banks to hold less capital or less costly capital, 1795 01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:19,880 Speaker 10: because the bank said that the cost of holding all 1796 01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,479 Speaker 10: this capital to make them strong was too high and 1797 01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:24,719 Speaker 10: if they could hold a bit less, they might lend 1798 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:28,360 Speaker 10: more freely and interest rates on borrowing might be a 1799 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,200 Speaker 10: bit lower. Now, the insurance industry makes kind of a 1800 01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 10: similar argument. You know, it's been saying that the Reserve 1801 01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,400 Speaker 10: Bank's been too tough, been too mean, you know, made 1802 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,760 Speaker 10: them be way stronger than they need to be, and maybe. 1803 01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:41,920 Speaker 5: If they could hold. 1804 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:45,800 Speaker 10: Less capital, then the insurance premiums could come down. So 1805 01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,719 Speaker 10: that's something the industry has been pushing for the government 1806 01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:52,720 Speaker 10: is cognizant of that, but again I'm sort of skeptical. 1807 01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 10: For me and you know, normal people with insurance, I'm 1808 01:26:56,240 --> 01:27:00,480 Speaker 10: not sure if that will translate to much lower premiums. 1809 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:02,720 Speaker 5: You know. 1810 01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,479 Speaker 10: One other area here is that the government could do 1811 01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 10: more by expanding what the National Hazards Commission covers. That's 1812 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:14,479 Speaker 10: like the EQUC. It's knuckled the natural Hazards Commission. You know, 1813 01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,800 Speaker 10: if that covered flood you know, that could do a 1814 01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 10: bit more having a state insurer pick up more of 1815 01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 10: the low but the moral has again som hazard thing exactly. 1816 01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 10: I don't think that's something the government wants to do. So, 1817 01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:30,720 Speaker 10: you know, the insurance industry says that the problem is 1818 01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,200 Speaker 10: not the insurance, but the problem is the risk and 1819 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,200 Speaker 10: you have to manage the risk. And to me that 1820 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,639 Speaker 10: that makes sense. But it's just it's just really hard. 1821 01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,639 Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, do you so having said that, because 1822 01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:42,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I think we all understand. Sure, if you, 1823 01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:44,840 Speaker 2: if you, if you, if you built a house in 1824 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:46,400 Speaker 2: a place that's going to get flooded every year, you 1825 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 2: you probably shouldn't have insurance or you should pay a 1826 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:51,680 Speaker 2: lot for it. But when you look at it, it 1827 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 2: is not that nuanced by these these insurance companies. It's 1828 01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:58,160 Speaker 2: just like a tire post code. So is it possible 1829 01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,759 Speaker 2: that this review may actually sure not lead to lower 1830 01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,559 Speaker 2: insurance premiums for us, but it may at least answer 1831 01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 2: some questions for us as to how these guys are 1832 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:09,160 Speaker 2: doing it. Because I feel like the charity is what 1833 01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:09,760 Speaker 2: we want here. 1834 01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,400 Speaker 10: Yeah, Look, I mean I really I hope it does. 1835 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,840 Speaker 10: It's six months long, and the government's got representatives from 1836 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,160 Speaker 10: across you know, reserve if it may be a whole 1837 01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,040 Speaker 10: bunch of them to do it. The challenge will be, gosh, 1838 01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:24,479 Speaker 10: I sound so negative on this issue, but the challenge 1839 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:27,120 Speaker 10: will be a lot of this information is commercially sensitive. 1840 01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,360 Speaker 10: So I'm an insurance company. I pay a lot of 1841 01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:34,840 Speaker 10: money for a modeling company that looks at specific you know, 1842 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:38,720 Speaker 10: address level, slip risk, flood risk, all the rest of it. 1843 01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 10: And that's how I do my fancy maths, and that's 1844 01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,519 Speaker 10: how I decide that my premium is this and my 1845 01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:47,240 Speaker 10: neighbor's premium is something completely different. So I strongly doubt 1846 01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:51,360 Speaker 10: that the insurers will release the sort of granular information 1847 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,200 Speaker 10: that would give us a really good insight because of 1848 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:56,599 Speaker 10: commercial sensitivity. And I'm not sure if the government will 1849 01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:58,840 Speaker 10: be able to compel them to do that. But I 1850 01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 10: think broader stuff like information around what the reinsurance market 1851 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:05,720 Speaker 10: is doing. You know, that's the market that backs up 1852 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,599 Speaker 10: the insurance. They are the ones that really influence pricing heavily. 1853 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 10: I think getting a bit more insight into that market 1854 01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:16,000 Speaker 10: would be useful. Maybe that the building costs that's another 1855 01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 10: thing again, complex market and I just don't see a quick, 1856 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:23,720 Speaker 10: easy fix. And it's also a global issue. You know, 1857 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,040 Speaker 10: New Zealand's is not the only country country Batlan. 1858 01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,080 Speaker 2: Context that I think is important. Janay, thank you very much, 1859 01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:31,679 Speaker 2: as always, appreciate your explanation. Jane to Prani The Herald's 1860 01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:34,040 Speaker 2: Wellington Business Edit. And by the way, we have a 1861 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:36,600 Speaker 2: date for Bill Clinton appearing on the Epstein files now 1862 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:38,400 Speaker 2: that he's agreed to testify. He's going to appear for 1863 01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:40,479 Speaker 2: a deposition on the twenty seventh of February, so not 1864 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:42,880 Speaker 2: that many sleeps and then Hillary will appear the day 1865 01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,600 Speaker 2: before that. Right, we have got somebody to talk us 1866 01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:47,759 Speaker 2: through the state of origin coming to Eden Park. Who's 1867 01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 2: going to be with us next seventeen away from seven? 1868 01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:53,000 Speaker 1: Ever it's to do with money. It matters to you. 1869 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:57,520 Speaker 1: The Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Allen and Mas Insurance 1870 01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:02,360 Speaker 1: and investments, Your futures in good hands, news talks'd be Yeah. 1871 01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,640 Speaker 2: The brilliant journo is Jane Tips. Do you know what 1872 01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:07,160 Speaker 2: I would agree with that knows this stuff? A fourteen 1873 01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,280 Speaker 2: away from seven out looks like it's stayed against state, 1874 01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,320 Speaker 2: made against mate but coming to Eden. Park Ossie Media 1875 01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:14,759 Speaker 2: is reporting that our government has put in five million 1876 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 2: dollars to stage match in the Rugby League show piece 1877 01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,080 Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty seven for Merkiewie and Warriors coach 1878 01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:22,839 Speaker 2: Tony kempers with us I Tony. 1879 01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:25,200 Speaker 22: Keilder, Helen, how are you? 1880 01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:26,920 Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. It's a big deal, isn't it. 1881 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:32,880 Speaker 22: It's fantastic for New Zealand. You know it's been in 1882 01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,200 Speaker 22: the pipeline for a number of years, people talking about 1883 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,080 Speaker 22: stae Olgyn coming to New Zealand. I think it's only 1884 01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:39,840 Speaker 22: even been played once outside of Australia, which is in 1885 01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,559 Speaker 22: America all those years back, I think I was eighty 1886 01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:45,920 Speaker 22: seven or something like that. So for New Zealand to 1887 01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:50,760 Speaker 22: get the game, for me, I just think it goes 1888 01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:55,600 Speaker 22: to show you the caliber of Peter Velandis and his 1889 01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:59,879 Speaker 22: mindset and wanting to grow the game actually as as 1890 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,240 Speaker 22: an international spectacle and not just a game between New 1891 01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:04,280 Speaker 22: South Wales and Queensland. 1892 01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,000 Speaker 2: How do you reckon the Aussie punters are going to 1893 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:08,679 Speaker 2: react to that, because presumably, if I mean, I'm assuming 1894 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:10,280 Speaker 2: a bunch of them will want to come over here, 1895 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,600 Speaker 2: will want to watch it live. So now they're going 1896 01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:14,640 Speaker 2: to have to fall out for an international ticket. 1897 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 22: Well they won't get one. As soon as it goes 1898 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 22: for sale, they snap it up. It'll be sold out 1899 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:27,679 Speaker 22: within within minutes. You probably, you know, unless you know somebody, 1900 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:31,960 Speaker 22: you probably won't won't get a ticket. I don't think 1901 01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:35,840 Speaker 22: people understand just how big state of origin is down 1902 01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:39,280 Speaker 22: here in New Zealand. You know, every Kiwi thinks they've 1903 01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,800 Speaker 22: either got Maroon or blue Blood, which is said because 1904 01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:44,759 Speaker 22: I leave black, you know, and the play for the kiwis. 1905 01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,639 Speaker 22: But you know, when you opened up and said stayed 1906 01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,880 Speaker 22: against state made against, it's actually not state or origin anymore. 1907 01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:54,880 Speaker 22: Hell And it's more country of origin because if you 1908 01:31:54,960 --> 01:32:01,080 Speaker 22: look through both the state teams, it's heavily reliant on 1909 01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:03,800 Speaker 22: Pacific and Maori players that are playing in the competition now, 1910 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:08,719 Speaker 22: so you know, to bring it to New Zealand. New Zealand. 1911 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:13,320 Speaker 22: But obviously alongside Australia being heavily influenced by Pacific participation, 1912 01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:17,880 Speaker 22: there's a lot of other, I guess areas that you 1913 01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:21,560 Speaker 22: look at from the government giving five million dollars to 1914 01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 22: a stay riaging game when the sport in New Zealand 1915 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,479 Speaker 22: only give New Zealand Rugby League six hundred thousand dollars 1916 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:30,240 Speaker 22: to invest in in the national game, and what does 1917 01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,559 Speaker 22: that do for the future of the game. I think 1918 01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,479 Speaker 22: it's an opportunity when they do come down for our game, 1919 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:40,800 Speaker 22: hopefully to fix its own issues and run off the 1920 01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 22: back of it. 1921 01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:43,720 Speaker 2: Yeah too, right, Tony, Thanks very much appreciated, Tony Kemp 1922 01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:47,920 Speaker 2: for mkeywe and Warriors coach Helen. Yeah, I reckon, that's 1923 01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:49,720 Speaker 2: the second time this year and it's only the fourth 1924 01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:51,800 Speaker 2: of February actually, and he got two of them in, 1925 01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:54,559 Speaker 2: so I reckon. We're on counter three on the fourth 1926 01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,040 Speaker 2: of February. By the way, how much do you reckon? 1927 01:32:57,439 --> 01:33:00,920 Speaker 2: Rugby Union is hating this? Rugby Union should be freaking 1928 01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:02,640 Speaker 2: out about this, because when we go and watch the 1929 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,160 Speaker 2: old Rugby League at Eden Park and it's gonna be epic, 1930 01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:06,640 Speaker 2: we're all gonna love it, and the we're gonna be like, 1931 01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:08,840 Speaker 2: oh yeah, that's a lot more fun than rugby Union. 1932 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:10,679 Speaker 2: Next week, twenty one a wife, what am I talking about? 1933 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,120 Speaker 2: Twenty one away? It's a living away from seven? Hither 1934 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:15,519 Speaker 2: duplessy Ellen freaked you out if it was actually twenty 1935 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:18,120 Speaker 2: one away from seven now Mike ps UK correspondents with 1936 01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,439 Speaker 2: us Allo Mike, good evening, how thanks right and good 1937 01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:21,720 Speaker 2: thank you? 1938 01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:22,320 Speaker 5: So do you. 1939 01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:26,599 Speaker 2: What's your reading of this Andrews situation. Has he been 1940 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:28,320 Speaker 2: booted out early, because that's what it looks like. 1941 01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:28,599 Speaker 20: Eh. 1942 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,439 Speaker 23: Well, the big role here that he has still been 1943 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 23: living in a royal residence. It's called Royal Lodge at 1944 01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,360 Speaker 23: Windsor Great Park near Windsor Castle. Now we're told a 1945 01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,080 Speaker 23: short time ago that he's now left and has moved 1946 01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:46,840 Speaker 23: into temporary accommodation. The reason for this is a little 1947 01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:48,880 Speaker 23: bit patchy, but that's what we are being told. It's 1948 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,880 Speaker 23: also claimed that Epstein sent a woman to the UK 1949 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,400 Speaker 23: to have a sexual encounter with him. That is the 1950 01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,760 Speaker 23: big breaking story here, this, I can tell you, is 1951 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:01,160 Speaker 23: turning into the biggest political scandal for you generation. Of course, 1952 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:05,240 Speaker 23: Sir Andrew denies any wrong doing. The news dominated by 1953 01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:08,559 Speaker 23: the fact that UK's Lord Mandelson, one of the UK's 1954 01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:12,400 Speaker 23: best known political figures, has resigned from Parliament. It follows 1955 01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,760 Speaker 23: the latest release of course Authose Epstein fars. Responding to 1956 01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:18,360 Speaker 23: the news, UK Prime Minister kir Starmers said he let 1957 01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:20,519 Speaker 23: the country down. It comes with the government said if 1958 01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:23,559 Speaker 23: he didn't resign, they'd introduce legal powers to sack him. 1959 01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:25,880 Speaker 23: For now, though he will keep his title as a 1960 01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 23: lord because of existing rules here. The governments say it 1961 01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:32,760 Speaker 23: will introduce legislation to deal with that. Documents reveal a 1962 01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:36,000 Speaker 23: close relationship with Epstein. It's claimed he made payments to 1963 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:39,920 Speaker 23: him of seventy five thousand US dollars.

MP's in the House of 1969 01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:00,519 Speaker 23: Commons will force a debate and a vote could lead 1970 01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,519 Speaker 23: to government documents on Mandalsson being released. That will be 1971 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,680 Speaker 23: in the next few hours now. Manderson has held key 1972 01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,280 Speaker 23: government positions over the last forty years and was a 1973 01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:12,200 Speaker 23: UK ambassador to the United States. Meanwhile, the King's brother, 1974 01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:15,639 Speaker 23: Prince Edwards, said it was important to remember the victims 1975 01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:17,560 Speaker 23: in all of this. He is the first royal to 1976 01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:19,240 Speaker 23: comment on this whole scandal. 1977 01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:21,760 Speaker 2: Now, does it look to you like this?

Now the FIFA World Cup Presidents says 1983 01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:35,639 Speaker 23: we have to look at restoring Russian teams. He added 1984 01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,720 Speaker 23: the ban has not achieved anything, it's just created more 1985 01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:42,280 Speaker 23: frustration and hatred. The next World Cup, of course, gets 1986 01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,479 Speaker 23: underway in June and is being held in America, Canada 1987 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:48,080 Speaker 23: and Mexico. The Ukrainian Sports Minister, as you can imagine, 1988 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 23: has branded the remarks as irresponsible. Some European football associations 1989 01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:55,519 Speaker 23: say they're horrified that decision expected in the next few weeks. 1990 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:57,320 Speaker 2: Mike's good to talk to you.
