If it's New Zealand of the week, who 46 00:02:17,133 --> 00:02:19,213 Speaker 2: will it be? I mean, so many people putting up 47 00:02:19,213 --> 00:02:21,853 Speaker 2: their hands this week and doing amazing things. But who 48 00:02:21,853 --> 00:02:22,173 Speaker 2: will win? 49 00:02:22,373 --> 00:02:24,692 Speaker 3: Yeah, looking forward to that after three o'clock, after two 50 00:02:24,693 --> 00:02:26,773 Speaker 3: o'clock this well, this is going to be a good discussion. 51 00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:32,413 Speaker 3: So Craig christ Strong name says he is angry after 52 00:02:32,532 --> 00:02:35,693 Speaker 3: Auckland Council declined his request to plant a tree on 53 00:02:35,773 --> 00:02:38,293 Speaker 3: a patch of what he calls Baron land. It was 54 00:02:38,333 --> 00:02:41,733 Speaker 3: his wife's last wish to have a native tree planted 55 00:02:41,773 --> 00:02:44,893 Speaker 3: in Point Whels. This is a rural settlement and Rodney, 56 00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:48,172 Speaker 3: the council's headers request not meet the criteria in their 57 00:02:48,333 --> 00:02:51,572 Speaker 3: memorial guidelines. It's something a council would say. I say, 58 00:02:51,693 --> 00:02:53,133 Speaker 3: let them plant the tree. 59 00:02:54,532 --> 00:02:57,373 Speaker 2: You say that, yeah, wow for you, you say that 60 00:02:57,413 --> 00:03:03,132 Speaker 2: you don't need mister rules, Tyler. I thought you'd be like, well, 61 00:03:03,213 --> 00:03:05,813 Speaker 2: if someone plants a tree there, then everyone plants a 62 00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:08,893 Speaker 2: tree on everything that happens in their lives. Suddenly we're 63 00:03:09,252 --> 00:03:10,093 Speaker 2: living in a forest. 64 00:03:10,493 --> 00:03:12,573 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. If he wanted to do Dowey's 65 00:03:12,573 --> 00:03:16,133 Speaker 3: on his jet ski in memory, I'd say no way, mate. 66 00:03:16,173 --> 00:03:19,213 Speaker 3: But in this instance, I just think, where's the humanity. 67 00:03:19,373 --> 00:03:21,333 Speaker 3: I mean, does it really matter the council if he 68 00:03:21,373 --> 00:03:22,733 Speaker 3: wants to plant a native tree. 69 00:03:22,853 --> 00:03:26,453 Speaker 2: I just can't believe he asked, I mean in terms 70 00:03:26,453 --> 00:03:29,373 Speaker 2: of crimes that you might get in trouble with trouble 71 00:03:29,413 --> 00:03:31,213 Speaker 2: for I mean, just go and plant the tree. I mean, 72 00:03:31,773 --> 00:03:34,693 Speaker 2: I mean I've planted, as you know, Tyler, I've planted 73 00:03:34,693 --> 00:03:39,093 Speaker 2: an illegal perhutakawa and that's growing strong. I didn't ask permission, 74 00:03:39,533 --> 00:03:42,053 Speaker 2: and the council have me a few letters, but I 75 00:03:42,093 --> 00:03:44,733 Speaker 2: will chain myself to that podaca if they're go and 76 00:03:44,773 --> 00:03:45,373 Speaker 2: shop it down. 77 00:03:45,493 --> 00:03:47,973 Speaker 3: I look forward to that day. Please let that day come. 78 00:03:48,213 --> 00:03:50,413 Speaker 3: That is after two o'clock though, because right now we 79 00:03:50,453 --> 00:03:54,693 Speaker 3: want to talk about potentially charging thawsand New Zealanders to 80 00:03:55,053 --> 00:03:58,413 Speaker 3: enter our national parks. There's a consultation document out at 81 00:03:58,453 --> 00:04:01,973 Speaker 3: the moment, and I've raised some key questions that they're 82 00:04:02,013 --> 00:04:02,653 Speaker 3: asking the public. 83 00:04:02,653 --> 00:04:02,773 Speaker 5: Man. 84 00:04:02,853 --> 00:04:07,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, Conservation Minister Tama Putake says, and he says, we 85 00:04:07,733 --> 00:04:12,293 Speaker 2: are consoling on a proposal to introduce access charges for 86 00:04:12,333 --> 00:04:15,373 Speaker 2: some public conservation areas, which could create new river new 87 00:04:15,453 --> 00:04:18,652 Speaker 2: streams to support the maintenance and upkeep of our most 88 00:04:19,053 --> 00:04:22,773 Speaker 2: iconic landscape. So How do you feel about having to 89 00:04:22,813 --> 00:04:27,133 Speaker 2: pay to go on your national into your own national park. 90 00:04:27,453 --> 00:04:29,973 Speaker 2: This isn't just international visitors. This would be all New 91 00:04:30,053 --> 00:04:34,373 Speaker 2: Zealanders going onto their own national park and having to pay. 92 00:04:34,653 --> 00:04:36,333 Speaker 3: How do you feel about that? If you were to 93 00:04:36,373 --> 00:04:39,493 Speaker 3: go to let's say kohu Angi National Park that's the 94 00:04:39,493 --> 00:04:42,733 Speaker 3: top of the south and you enter into that area 95 00:04:42,813 --> 00:04:45,053 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden they say, hey, where's your ticket? 96 00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:49,293 Speaker 2: I think rubbish. I own that park as a New Zealander. 97 00:04:49,733 --> 00:04:53,173 Speaker 2: That's mine, it's my get out. No, I'd say no, 98 00:04:53,253 --> 00:04:55,453 Speaker 2: But if a tourists came over here, I'd say, charge 99 00:04:55,453 --> 00:04:57,933 Speaker 2: them one hundred and fifty bucks. Charge me nothing, and 100 00:04:57,973 --> 00:04:59,853 Speaker 2: a tourist one hundred and fifty bucks is what I'd say. 101 00:04:59,933 --> 00:05:01,493 Speaker 3: A lot of people would agree with that. I don't. 102 00:05:01,533 --> 00:05:04,173 Speaker 3: I actually am okay with being charged to go into 103 00:05:04,213 --> 00:05:06,573 Speaker 3: these areas. And I say that as an advert tramper 104 00:05:06,613 --> 00:05:08,893 Speaker 3: of being in these areas A lot to go into 105 00:05:08,933 --> 00:05:12,413 Speaker 3: the huts, right, But I actually, once I did enough trampine, 106 00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:14,653 Speaker 3: I get the season passed. So I paid doc eighty 107 00:05:14,653 --> 00:05:16,773 Speaker 3: bucks a season and I can stay on whatever hut 108 00:05:16,853 --> 00:05:19,733 Speaker 3: I want outside of the great Walks, and that to me, 109 00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:21,773 Speaker 3: is an investment in those areas. 110 00:05:21,813 --> 00:05:24,853 Speaker 2: I agree with paying to stay in a hut, yeah, 111 00:05:24,853 --> 00:05:26,613 Speaker 2: one hundred percent, And I don't have a problem with 112 00:05:26,653 --> 00:05:30,333 Speaker 2: paying to walk the Great Walks. But all I'm just 113 00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:32,413 Speaker 2: saying is a bit weird if you're going to charge 114 00:05:32,493 --> 00:05:34,693 Speaker 2: just to be in a national park. So you're here 115 00:05:35,533 --> 00:05:39,653 Speaker 2: and you're on New Zealand Land, and then you walk 116 00:05:39,653 --> 00:05:41,613 Speaker 2: a little bit further and you're also in New Zealand Land, 117 00:05:41,613 --> 00:05:43,293 Speaker 2: but it's called a national park, so then you get 118 00:05:43,333 --> 00:05:44,893 Speaker 2: charged for it. That just seems a little bit weird 119 00:05:44,933 --> 00:05:46,853 Speaker 2: for me always to pay for them in our Texas. 120 00:05:47,133 --> 00:05:49,093 Speaker 2: We already pay for them in our Texas, right. 121 00:05:49,413 --> 00:05:51,853 Speaker 3: Well, one of the questions being asked is where should 122 00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:54,853 Speaker 3: the charges apply? Well, the first question is should should 123 00:05:54,893 --> 00:05:57,813 Speaker 3: there be charges? One for international win for kiwis the 124 00:05:57,893 --> 00:06:00,533 Speaker 3: second question? I like, we should those charges apply because 125 00:06:00,573 --> 00:06:03,173 Speaker 3: they already apply to the Great Walks, right And you 126 00:06:03,253 --> 00:06:05,253 Speaker 3: said that there's a good reason for that. They're very 127 00:06:05,293 --> 00:06:09,813 Speaker 3: popular and we need to have some way to keep 128 00:06:09,853 --> 00:06:12,613 Speaker 3: the numbers at a sustainable level, and it makes sense 129 00:06:12,653 --> 00:06:15,693 Speaker 3: to charge the international tourists more. But to me, extend 130 00:06:15,693 --> 00:06:17,653 Speaker 3: that out to all national parks, I think that makes 131 00:06:17,693 --> 00:06:18,093 Speaker 3: sense to me. 132 00:06:18,533 --> 00:06:22,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, No, I'm not for it. 133 00:06:24,813 --> 00:06:26,733 Speaker 3: Let's get into it. Nine two nine two is a 134 00:06:26,773 --> 00:06:30,293 Speaker 3: text number they are ripping in now. It is eleven 135 00:06:30,453 --> 00:06:32,733 Speaker 3: past one. You're listening to Matt and Tyler very very 136 00:06:32,773 --> 00:06:33,493 Speaker 3: good afternoon to you. 137 00:06:34,373 --> 00:06:37,893 Speaker 4: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 138 00:06:38,093 --> 00:06:41,933 Speaker 4: everything in between. Mat Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons. You 139 00:06:42,013 --> 00:06:43,653 Speaker 4: for twenty twenty four US talks. 140 00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:46,933 Speaker 3: There'd be good afternoon. Fourteen past one. So the Department 141 00:06:47,013 --> 00:06:51,893 Speaker 3: of Conservation or the Minister Tama Portaka has put out 142 00:06:51,933 --> 00:06:55,293 Speaker 3: a discussion document asking a range of questions. One of 143 00:06:55,333 --> 00:06:59,973 Speaker 3: the key ones is around charging tourists and potentially Kiwi's 144 00:07:00,013 --> 00:07:03,133 Speaker 3: for access to our national parks. So the three questions 145 00:07:03,133 --> 00:07:05,613 Speaker 3: they'll put in the document who should be charged? Should 146 00:07:05,613 --> 00:07:08,333 Speaker 3: fees apply only to international visitors or also to Kiwi? 147 00:07:08,493 --> 00:07:11,053 Speaker 3: Or should we or should charges apply? What types of 148 00:07:11,093 --> 00:07:15,293 Speaker 3: locations are suitable for such bees? How should revenue be used? 149 00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:18,733 Speaker 3: It's a big discussion. I say, I'm okay with a 150 00:07:18,893 --> 00:07:21,213 Speaker 3: charge to Kiwi's. Matt doesn't, But what do you say? 151 00:07:21,293 --> 00:07:21,413 Speaker 6: Oh? 152 00:07:21,413 --> 00:07:23,413 Speaker 3: Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to 153 00:07:23,413 --> 00:07:25,653 Speaker 3: call Lydia very good afternoon to. 154 00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:27,813 Speaker 7: You, Jordan, Matt and Tyler. 155 00:07:27,813 --> 00:07:28,373 Speaker 8: How are you? 156 00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:31,813 Speaker 3: We're good. So you, ah, well, you are very involved 157 00:07:31,813 --> 00:07:34,253 Speaker 3: in tourism, aren't you. You look after McKenzie tourism. 158 00:07:34,893 --> 00:07:35,133 Speaker 8: I do. 159 00:07:35,213 --> 00:07:37,813 Speaker 7: I'm a mckensey tourism manager and we obviously have the 160 00:07:37,853 --> 00:07:41,973 Speaker 7: old acumunt Cook National Park beautiful, which is arguably one 161 00:07:42,013 --> 00:07:45,093 Speaker 7: of the busiest national parks in the country and has 162 00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:48,013 Speaker 7: some of the most severe I guess over tourism and 163 00:07:48,053 --> 00:07:51,093 Speaker 7: tourism pressures in that park. So I probably come from 164 00:07:51,173 --> 00:07:55,133 Speaker 7: quite a place of passion and probably reasonably well about 165 00:07:55,133 --> 00:07:55,573 Speaker 7: the topic. 166 00:07:56,213 --> 00:07:56,413 Speaker 9: Yeah. 167 00:07:56,453 --> 00:08:00,613 Speaker 2: Absolutely, And what's what's your opinion on charging people to 168 00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:02,013 Speaker 2: enter national parks? 169 00:08:02,413 --> 00:08:06,533 Speaker 7: Yeah? Look, we need to find a solution for this right. Tourism, 170 00:08:07,253 --> 00:08:10,293 Speaker 7: the funding of tourism needs a complete review and there 171 00:08:10,333 --> 00:08:10,693 Speaker 7: needs to. 172 00:08:10,653 --> 00:08:13,453 Speaker 10: Be much more user place model because what we. 173 00:08:13,413 --> 00:08:16,573 Speaker 7: Are currently seeing in our country is unsustainable. You know, 174 00:08:16,893 --> 00:08:20,453 Speaker 7: I really feel for doc and I feel particularly for 175 00:08:20,493 --> 00:08:23,653 Speaker 7: local government who are responsible for a lot of the infrastructure, 176 00:08:23,693 --> 00:08:27,613 Speaker 7: the public toilets and whatnot in those places of high tourism. 177 00:08:27,773 --> 00:08:30,213 Speaker 7: And look, if you look at the McKinsey region and 178 00:08:30,293 --> 00:08:33,573 Speaker 7: Lake Tekipo, for example, you know we have to service 179 00:08:33,973 --> 00:08:37,653 Speaker 7: a population of fifteen times our resident population purely just 180 00:08:37,693 --> 00:08:41,412 Speaker 7: on tourism and around. This is a global problem and 181 00:08:41,492 --> 00:08:43,613 Speaker 7: so we need to look globally at solutions, and a 182 00:08:43,612 --> 00:08:46,693 Speaker 7: lot of that does come into you know, a user 183 00:08:46,732 --> 00:08:50,573 Speaker 7: pays models, and I'm not against dual up pricing, so 184 00:08:50,612 --> 00:08:53,852 Speaker 7: a chieper price for Kiwi's and charging internationals a lot 185 00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:57,053 Speaker 7: a lot more. I think that's that model works overseas. 186 00:08:57,053 --> 00:08:59,133 Speaker 7: But we serainly need to be trying new things and 187 00:08:59,213 --> 00:09:03,293 Speaker 7: I really it's encouraging to see the ministers, both the 188 00:09:03,333 --> 00:09:07,012 Speaker 7: Tourism Minister and the Conservation Minister look at new new 189 00:09:07,053 --> 00:09:09,453 Speaker 7: solutions because what we have that is just not working 190 00:09:09,492 --> 00:09:10,573 Speaker 7: and it's not sustainable. 191 00:09:10,852 --> 00:09:14,012 Speaker 2: LYDIA, how much would you think would be a reasonable 192 00:09:14,093 --> 00:09:19,173 Speaker 2: cost to New Zealanders and a reasonable cost for international tourists. 193 00:09:19,573 --> 00:09:22,013 Speaker 7: Totally, we probably just need to see some modeling first 194 00:09:22,012 --> 00:09:24,372 Speaker 7: and make a more informed decision. I certainly don't think 195 00:09:24,372 --> 00:09:27,453 Speaker 7: there's any appetite from anyone in the sector to make 196 00:09:27,492 --> 00:09:31,732 Speaker 7: it unaffordable for Kiwi's. We love Kiwi's exploring your backyard, 197 00:09:31,813 --> 00:09:35,493 Speaker 7: but we just need to source of revenue and it 198 00:09:35,533 --> 00:09:39,132 Speaker 7: can really help our friends and doc tourists in a 199 00:09:39,213 --> 00:09:40,173 Speaker 7: conservation of state. 200 00:09:40,573 --> 00:09:44,733 Speaker 2: What about the concept that we already pay for these 201 00:09:44,813 --> 00:09:47,933 Speaker 2: parks and an hour with our tax dollars. And it's 202 00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:50,813 Speaker 2: kind of odd to say to New Zealanders, you you 203 00:09:50,852 --> 00:09:53,133 Speaker 2: can walk here, but you can't if you go into 204 00:09:53,173 --> 00:09:55,532 Speaker 2: this area, which is also part of your country, you 205 00:09:55,653 --> 00:09:56,213 Speaker 2: have to pay. 206 00:09:57,293 --> 00:09:59,372 Speaker 7: Yeah, and look, that is one of the biggest struggles 207 00:09:59,372 --> 00:10:02,892 Speaker 7: that we have because tourism affected pre COVID generated one 208 00:10:02,933 --> 00:10:06,693 Speaker 7: point eight billion dollars in GST alone from and we 209 00:10:06,693 --> 00:10:10,253 Speaker 7: would love to see that and into tourism assets such 210 00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:11,573 Speaker 7: as conservation estates. 211 00:10:11,573 --> 00:10:12,173 Speaker 11: And the. 212 00:10:13,653 --> 00:10:15,773 Speaker 7: Reality is it goes into the big black hole of 213 00:10:16,053 --> 00:10:18,773 Speaker 7: government and it doesn't have a direct flow into any 214 00:10:18,813 --> 00:10:23,173 Speaker 7: of those assets that need maintenance. So, you know, we'd 215 00:10:23,213 --> 00:10:25,493 Speaker 7: love to see that happen and maybe the government could 216 00:10:25,492 --> 00:10:28,852 Speaker 7: look at that, but they haven't. And we have been 217 00:10:28,892 --> 00:10:30,933 Speaker 7: advocating for a new model for a long time, so 218 00:10:30,973 --> 00:10:33,773 Speaker 7: it is encouraging for them to see, you know, to 219 00:10:33,852 --> 00:10:36,252 Speaker 7: explore new revenue models. 220 00:10:36,293 --> 00:10:39,653 Speaker 2: Really in your area, what percentage is it Kiwi tourists 221 00:10:39,653 --> 00:10:41,372 Speaker 2: and what percentage is it international? 222 00:10:42,012 --> 00:10:45,893 Speaker 7: And then McKenzie, yeah, yeah, so it really depends on 223 00:10:45,933 --> 00:10:49,813 Speaker 7: the season. So in summer, for example, we're probably about 224 00:10:49,892 --> 00:10:53,733 Speaker 7: fifty five percent international forty five percent domestic, but that 225 00:10:53,852 --> 00:10:57,013 Speaker 7: s whitches completely full winter where we see much higher 226 00:10:57,252 --> 00:10:58,213 Speaker 7: domestic visitation. 227 00:10:59,293 --> 00:11:01,093 Speaker 3: Do you think it would sorry to jump in there? 228 00:11:01,093 --> 00:11:03,573 Speaker 3: Do you think it would put off some Kiwis if 229 00:11:03,612 --> 00:11:07,412 Speaker 3: they there was legislation came into place that if they 230 00:11:07,453 --> 00:11:10,093 Speaker 3: wanted to go into National Park with the McKenzie District 231 00:11:10,132 --> 00:11:11,693 Speaker 3: and they needed to pay for that, that would put 232 00:11:11,732 --> 00:11:13,093 Speaker 3: off some of that local tourism. 233 00:11:13,892 --> 00:11:16,053 Speaker 7: I think it just depends on what that price point 234 00:11:16,173 --> 00:11:19,333 Speaker 7: is right, and nobody in the sector wants to just 235 00:11:19,372 --> 00:11:22,852 Speaker 7: see it at an unaffordable level for Kiwis. I think, yeah, 236 00:11:23,252 --> 00:11:25,173 Speaker 7: there needs to be some really robust modeling. 237 00:11:25,453 --> 00:11:29,132 Speaker 2: M M. Yeah, because I would say charge the international 238 00:11:29,173 --> 00:11:32,093 Speaker 2: tourists up the wazoo, because when I'm overseas, I never 239 00:11:32,213 --> 00:11:34,932 Speaker 2: question a charge. I just expect that those are the 240 00:11:35,012 --> 00:11:37,852 Speaker 2: rules for the country. So I say, work out how 241 00:11:37,892 --> 00:11:39,693 Speaker 2: much money you want to get and plant that on 242 00:11:39,693 --> 00:11:42,893 Speaker 2: the international tourists and leave the kiwis alone. 243 00:11:43,372 --> 00:11:45,093 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I guess we do. You do still have 244 00:11:45,132 --> 00:11:47,893 Speaker 7: to look at whether if there is enough revenue from 245 00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:50,373 Speaker 7: international to make it affordable. I mean, you know, they've 246 00:11:50,453 --> 00:11:53,932 Speaker 7: just increased the international visitor levy. There's there's visa increases. 247 00:11:54,012 --> 00:11:57,133 Speaker 7: So we are kind of reaching a point in I 248 00:11:57,173 --> 00:12:00,733 Speaker 7: guess the market where we are unaffordable and what we 249 00:12:00,773 --> 00:12:04,093 Speaker 7: don't want to do is kind of distributive. Sector is currently. 250 00:12:05,213 --> 00:12:08,213 Speaker 5: Sector and you know pre COVID it was. 251 00:12:09,413 --> 00:12:12,133 Speaker 7: So there's a balance there and there's some really robust 252 00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:14,933 Speaker 7: financial worldling to be done. But certainly we need to 253 00:12:14,933 --> 00:12:18,293 Speaker 7: explore revenue models, we need to review what's happening overseas, 254 00:12:18,293 --> 00:12:20,532 Speaker 7: and we need to look at more user pays. 255 00:12:21,372 --> 00:12:24,413 Speaker 3: You mentioned before, Lydia that another story that popped into 256 00:12:24,453 --> 00:12:27,172 Speaker 3: the headlines this week was charging for parking at the 257 00:12:27,252 --> 00:12:31,293 Speaker 3: lux of Mount Cook and some other areas. Friends, Joseph, 258 00:12:31,372 --> 00:12:33,773 Speaker 3: has that been controversial or has that been pretty straightforward? 259 00:12:33,773 --> 00:12:36,053 Speaker 3: People understand that, Hey, you know car parks are at 260 00:12:36,053 --> 00:12:38,173 Speaker 3: a premium. You may you should be paid for that. 261 00:12:38,933 --> 00:12:41,132 Speaker 7: Look, if you've seen that national I can only speak 262 00:12:41,173 --> 00:12:44,613 Speaker 7: on behalf of obviously old akimunt Cook National Park, but 263 00:12:44,612 --> 00:12:47,413 Speaker 7: if you've seen the numbers of cars and the numbers 264 00:12:47,453 --> 00:12:51,013 Speaker 7: of campers line us right there over the summer summer months, 265 00:12:51,372 --> 00:12:57,053 Speaker 7: it's heartbreaking because you just see this too much so 266 00:12:57,852 --> 00:13:01,693 Speaker 7: my community is I'm pretty pleased about it, but they 267 00:13:01,732 --> 00:13:03,933 Speaker 7: also acknowledge it's not the silver bullet and more work 268 00:13:04,012 --> 00:13:06,013 Speaker 7: needs to be done to ensure that we have a 269 00:13:06,053 --> 00:13:09,612 Speaker 7: sustainable tourism sector and that goes across everything from our 270 00:13:09,612 --> 00:13:13,372 Speaker 7: conservation estate to our public toilets and other facilities that visitors. 271 00:13:13,413 --> 00:13:13,493 Speaker 12: You. 272 00:13:13,773 --> 00:13:16,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, very interesting, Great to chat with you, Lydia.

And we know New Zealand's in a 292 00:14:06,252 --> 00:14:09,053 Speaker 14: very competitive global market for skilled so the more that 293 00:14:09,093 --> 00:14:12,573 Speaker 14: the system is set up well to work smoothly thoose applicants, 294 00:14:12,573 --> 00:14:14,533 Speaker 14: and the more it can help them make a decision 295 00:14:14,653 --> 00:14:15,893 Speaker 14: on whether or not to come here. 296 00:14:15,933 --> 00:14:19,813 Speaker 13: Certainly bag Monday from six am, The Mike Asking Breakfast 297 00:14:19,973 --> 00:14:22,253 Speaker 13: with Bayley's Real Estate News Talk ZB. 298 00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,573 Speaker 3: Good afternoon, it is twenty four past one. 299 00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:27,932 Speaker 2: We're talking about a proposal from Conservation Minister Tama Portucker. 300 00:14:28,253 --> 00:14:31,013 Speaker 2: He's saying, we are consulting on a proposal to introduce 301 00:14:31,053 --> 00:14:33,813 Speaker 2: access charges for some public con preservation areas. We're talking 302 00:14:33,813 --> 00:14:36,133 Speaker 2: about natural parks. You think you should pay to be 303 00:14:36,293 --> 00:14:39,093 Speaker 2: on them? And I was trying to articulate a thought 304 00:14:39,133 --> 00:14:40,532 Speaker 2: I had in my mind about it, and I couldn't 305 00:14:40,573 --> 00:14:43,292 Speaker 2: quite get there. But this texture, I think sums it up. 306 00:14:43,333 --> 00:14:46,613 Speaker 2: So I live in Wellington and the McKenzie District wants 307 00:14:46,613 --> 00:14:49,013 Speaker 2: to charge me to visit the parks there. So when 308 00:14:49,013 --> 00:14:52,253 Speaker 2: the Mackenzie residents come to Wellington, are are they going 309 00:14:52,293 --> 00:14:54,413 Speaker 2: to pay us? It kind of leads to that question 310 00:14:54,493 --> 00:14:58,613 Speaker 2: because everywhere needs more money. And so you could argue, 311 00:14:58,613 --> 00:15:01,133 Speaker 2: say Queenstown puts a perimeter around it because you have 312 00:15:01,413 --> 00:15:04,733 Speaker 2: so many tourists going there and the ratepayers there are 313 00:15:04,733 --> 00:15:08,052 Speaker 2: having to cover the cost of all the tourists that 314 00:15:08,053 --> 00:15:10,493 Speaker 2: comes through Queenstown. So do you put a fence around 315 00:15:10,493 --> 00:15:12,253 Speaker 2: there and charge people going to Queenstown? And then do 316 00:15:12,293 --> 00:15:14,013 Speaker 2: you start and then from there do you naturally go 317 00:15:14,093 --> 00:15:17,453 Speaker 2: out around put it around christ Church? You know, there's 318 00:15:17,453 --> 00:15:21,253 Speaker 2: so many areas that need need money. And a national 319 00:15:21,293 --> 00:15:24,412 Speaker 2: park is part of New Zealand. It's owned by New Zealanders. 320 00:15:24,973 --> 00:15:27,973 Speaker 2: Our tax payer dollars go to running dock and running 321 00:15:27,973 --> 00:15:30,893 Speaker 2: the park, so you can put a fence around everything 322 00:15:30,973 --> 00:15:33,573 Speaker 2: inside it. There's a reason to get money for being there. 323 00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:37,172 Speaker 2: But I just say, look, international tourists, you don't pay 324 00:15:37,213 --> 00:15:38,853 Speaker 2: the tax here, so you come over and when you 325 00:15:38,893 --> 00:15:42,613 Speaker 2: go on to a national park you pay not Bloody me. 326 00:15:44,693 --> 00:15:47,773 Speaker 3: Is a number of goal patsionate Michael, how are you. 327 00:15:50,013 --> 00:15:50,213 Speaker 5: Good? 328 00:15:50,333 --> 00:15:54,333 Speaker 15: Thank you? I just many years ago I actually suggested 329 00:15:54,413 --> 00:15:58,453 Speaker 15: to dog maybe that was the wrong people. That my 330 00:15:58,573 --> 00:16:01,893 Speaker 15: partner and I've done the don Arena a crossing, for example, 331 00:16:02,333 --> 00:16:03,133 Speaker 15: three times. 332 00:16:03,253 --> 00:16:04,453 Speaker 5: Yep, so we paid. 333 00:16:04,613 --> 00:16:07,533 Speaker 15: We paid the bus that picked us up from our motel, 334 00:16:07,973 --> 00:16:10,173 Speaker 15: dropped us off at the start and then picked us 335 00:16:10,253 --> 00:16:13,613 Speaker 15: up at the end, and that was forty dollars ahead 336 00:16:14,013 --> 00:16:18,052 Speaker 15: and nothing towards the track up keep.

If you're doing the Great Walks, 380 00:18:25,293 --> 00:18:26,813 Speaker 2: I kind of get it, But I'm just talking about 381 00:18:26,813 --> 00:18:29,693 Speaker 2: if you if you're driving across the country and you 382 00:18:29,813 --> 00:18:31,693 Speaker 2: pull in with your family to have a lock, Yeah, 383 00:18:31,773 --> 00:18:34,453 Speaker 2: then that's then I don't think you should get out 384 00:18:34,493 --> 00:18:36,013 Speaker 2: of your car, but I wonder if you get out 385 00:18:36,013 --> 00:18:36,893 Speaker 2: of your car and you have a bit of a 386 00:18:36,933 --> 00:18:39,893 Speaker 2: look around then, But I mean if you're maybe And 387 00:18:39,973 --> 00:18:41,493 Speaker 2: I actually don't think ke we should be charged for 388 00:18:41,493 --> 00:18:43,613 Speaker 2: the Great Walks either, because we were already paying for 389 00:18:43,653 --> 00:18:46,533 Speaker 2: everything anyway. Yeah, But what I would say is that 390 00:18:46,573 --> 00:18:49,653 Speaker 2: the Great Walks you're on there, there's there's more upkeep 391 00:18:49,733 --> 00:18:51,813 Speaker 2: for the Great Walks, and there is just the park 392 00:18:51,853 --> 00:18:54,093 Speaker 2: in general, right, yes, yeah, because you have to keep 393 00:18:54,093 --> 00:18:56,773 Speaker 2: the tracks going, and so I'm not so anti the 394 00:18:56,853 --> 00:19:00,813 Speaker 2: charge for that, but I think that international tourists should 395 00:19:00,813 --> 00:19:03,573 Speaker 2: get charged. I love a lot more than that, definitely, 396 00:19:03,613 --> 00:19:07,773 Speaker 2: And I would say Keywi should get charged minimal, if anything, 397 00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:08,533 Speaker 2: to be on the Great. 398 00:19:08,533 --> 00:19:10,773 Speaker 3: But thank you you've helped me articulate my point a 399 00:19:10,773 --> 00:19:13,373 Speaker 3: bit better than I have until this point, and hopefully 400 00:19:13,453 --> 00:19:15,773 Speaker 3: I nail it now that I pay my eighty buck 401 00:19:15,853 --> 00:19:18,373 Speaker 3: back country pass, so that means that I can go 402 00:19:18,413 --> 00:19:20,373 Speaker 3: on to any dock hut that's not on the Great 403 00:19:20,413 --> 00:19:22,493 Speaker 3: Walk for the season, for the whole year.

And we are talking about 442 00:21:31,373 --> 00:21:36,453 Speaker 3: the potential of charging kiwisan international tourists for use of 443 00:21:36,653 --> 00:21:40,293 Speaker 3: national parks. I mean that's one of the options. Tama Portucker, 444 00:21:40,373 --> 00:21:42,653 Speaker 3: he is the Minister of Conservation at the moment, has 445 00:21:42,653 --> 00:21:45,413 Speaker 3: floated in a discussion document and I will say I 446 00:21:45,533 --> 00:21:48,213 Speaker 3: have floated the idea of national parks. The actual question 447 00:21:48,573 --> 00:21:51,293 Speaker 3: they have raised is if there are charges, where should 448 00:21:51,333 --> 00:21:52,253 Speaker 3: those charges apply it? 449 00:21:52,413 --> 00:21:55,653 Speaker 2: But everything needs money and every and we keep adding 450 00:21:55,733 --> 00:21:58,293 Speaker 2: new charges to everything. But do charges ever go away? 451 00:21:58,293 --> 00:22:00,733 Speaker 2: Has anyone ever heard of it of someone going, oh, 452 00:22:00,773 --> 00:22:03,013 Speaker 2: we don't need some money in this year, so we're 453 00:22:03,053 --> 00:22:06,653 Speaker 2: moving the charges. There's just charges freaking everywhere. 454 00:22:06,733 --> 00:22:09,733 Speaker 3: I'm going to make a massive allegation here towards some 455 00:22:09,813 --> 00:22:13,493 Speaker 3: international tourists. So when you go to a dock hut yea, 456 00:22:13,893 --> 00:22:17,213 Speaker 3: you are meant to pay a hut fee and that 457 00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:19,413 Speaker 3: changed itself. It's a basic hut which has bugger all 458 00:22:19,413 --> 00:22:20,853 Speaker 3: in it. It's a bit run down. You pay five 459 00:22:20,893 --> 00:22:23,253 Speaker 3: bucks a night. If it's the standard hut, you pay 460 00:22:23,293 --> 00:22:26,413 Speaker 3: ten bucks. If it's the high level hut, you pay 461 00:22:26,493 --> 00:22:29,733 Speaker 3: I think fifteen. I would say most key we pay that. 462 00:22:29,893 --> 00:22:31,653 Speaker 3: If they go into a duck dock hut, they will 463 00:22:31,653 --> 00:22:35,693 Speaker 3: get their dock ticket and they'll pay that money. International tourists, 464 00:22:35,773 --> 00:22:39,613 Speaker 3: I don't think. No, I'm serious. The amount of times 465 00:22:39,613 --> 00:22:42,173 Speaker 3: have been in the dock hut and they claim ignorance 466 00:22:42,333 --> 00:22:43,733 Speaker 3: is we didn't know we had to pay. 467 00:22:43,813 --> 00:22:47,093 Speaker 2: Boo yeah, boo yeah. I think you should definitely pay 468 00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:48,333 Speaker 2: if you stay in one of the huts. I'm not 469 00:22:48,373 --> 00:22:50,133 Speaker 2: talking about that. I'm just talking about going on to 470 00:22:50,173 --> 00:22:51,893 Speaker 2: a national park and when we've already paid for them 471 00:22:51,893 --> 00:22:54,213 Speaker 2: in their taxes and there's just everyone putting out the 472 00:22:54,253 --> 00:22:55,973 Speaker 2: hand saying I've got another charge for us, another charge 473 00:22:56,013 --> 00:22:56,813 Speaker 2: of that to make it work. 474 00:22:57,253 --> 00:22:58,333 Speaker 3: But where does it stop? 475 00:22:58,373 --> 00:22:59,093 Speaker 2: Where does it stop? 476 00:22:59,613 --> 00:23:01,333 Speaker 3: Jesse, what's your thoughts. 477 00:23:01,053 --> 00:23:05,093 Speaker 9: On this, fellas. I actually live on the border of 478 00:23:05,253 --> 00:23:06,453 Speaker 9: Tongodell In National Park. 479 00:23:06,533 --> 00:23:07,653 Speaker 3: Lucky Man, beautiful. 480 00:23:08,613 --> 00:23:10,533 Speaker 9: There's no way I'm going to be paying, right, that's 481 00:23:10,573 --> 00:23:11,013 Speaker 9: for sure. 482 00:23:11,333 --> 00:23:13,413 Speaker 3: But if you're on the border, you just don't, you know, 483 00:23:13,493 --> 00:23:14,573 Speaker 3: you just keep your feet on the. 484 00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:19,773 Speaker 9: Other side fence.

Anywhere else in the world you go, 489 00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:39,413 Speaker 9: you pay a fee to access some natural land. Yeah yeah, 490 00:23:39,453 --> 00:23:42,493 Speaker 9: and even I think in Germany in some places beaches 491 00:23:42,533 --> 00:23:43,853 Speaker 9: you even have to pay to go to some of 492 00:23:43,893 --> 00:23:44,373 Speaker 9: the beaches. 493 00:23:44,693 --> 00:23:47,893 Speaker 2: So I'm charge the international tourists.

We do a lot of 497 00:23:51,773 --> 00:23:57,133 Speaker 9: conservation work with pets control where hunters fishing. Unfortunately in 498 00:23:57,173 --> 00:23:59,613 Speaker 9: some cases we end up cleaning up after some of 499 00:23:59,653 --> 00:24:00,813 Speaker 9: our international tourists. 500 00:24:01,173 --> 00:24:04,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, disgusting, and just on that, just on that, Jessey, 501 00:24:04,493 --> 00:24:06,173 Speaker 3: because I don't know one hundred percent that I think, well, 502 00:24:06,213 --> 00:24:08,773 Speaker 3: you're going to have a fishing license, So that goes back. 503 00:24:08,813 --> 00:24:10,693 Speaker 3: Some of that goes back to the deplotment of conservation. 504 00:24:10,893 --> 00:24:12,613 Speaker 3: The hunters do they have to pay for a permit. 505 00:24:13,693 --> 00:24:16,292 Speaker 9: No, they don't pay, but there is a permitting system. 506 00:24:17,093 --> 00:24:22,133 Speaker 9: But again maybe, Yeah, I've always toyed with the thought 507 00:24:22,173 --> 00:24:25,613 Speaker 9: that maybe paid hunting permit. It's hard for us because 508 00:24:25,893 --> 00:24:30,213 Speaker 9: all of our species are exotic species and class as 509 00:24:30,293 --> 00:24:32,693 Speaker 9: pests here. So yeah, it's a bit hard to charge 510 00:24:32,733 --> 00:24:34,693 Speaker 9: people to because. 511 00:24:34,453 --> 00:24:35,373 Speaker 2: You're actually helping out. 512 00:24:36,333 --> 00:24:36,973 Speaker 12: Yeah, but. 513 00:24:38,773 --> 00:24:40,893 Speaker 9: User pays man, especially when it comes to anything that 514 00:24:41,013 --> 00:24:42,693 Speaker 9: needs ongoing maintenance and upkey. 515 00:24:42,933 --> 00:24:44,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what I agree with. If you're going 516 00:24:44,973 --> 00:24:47,013 Speaker 2: to be if you're walking a track, sure, yeah, but 517 00:24:47,093 --> 00:24:51,933 Speaker 2: it's been ridiculous to charge charge him to jump over 518 00:24:51,973 --> 00:24:54,893 Speaker 2: his fence. So that's what all I'm saying. I'm saying, 519 00:24:55,013 --> 00:24:56,773 Speaker 2: isn't the idea that you would charge to go on 520 00:24:56,853 --> 00:25:00,653 Speaker 2: to a national park at all, any way, shape or form, 521 00:25:00,773 --> 00:25:03,333 Speaker 2: even if you're walking on the hunting, fishing or whatever. 522 00:25:04,093 --> 00:25:06,453 Speaker 2: That seems crazy to me because it's all New Zealand, right. Yeah. 523 00:25:07,053 --> 00:25:09,573 Speaker 2: If you're walking the track, then sure, that's a totally 524 00:25:09,573 --> 00:25:11,893 Speaker 2: different thing because the track has to be built specifically 525 00:25:11,933 --> 00:25:14,733 Speaker 2: for it and the huts all that stuff. Charge that, 526 00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:18,533 Speaker 2: But I say charge the international tours up the wazoo. 527 00:25:18,933 --> 00:25:21,453 Speaker 2: We as a country needs to be an international just 528 00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:24,893 Speaker 2: a fleecing system here that idea. You get them here 529 00:25:25,333 --> 00:25:28,293 Speaker 2: and it's our job as New Zealand is to fleece 530 00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:29,893 Speaker 2: them for everything before they go away. 531 00:25:32,013 --> 00:25:36,653 Speaker 9: Jesse Y Mets for Department of Conservation Ministers. 532 00:25:37,013 --> 00:25:40,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, get them to the top operation fleece the tourists. 533 00:25:41,493 --> 00:25:43,133 Speaker 3: Tony, how are you mate. 534 00:25:43,973 --> 00:25:46,373 Speaker 5: I'm good. I'm just going to have a little take 535 00:25:46,453 --> 00:25:50,532 Speaker 5: map to shoot. As do you own, you still have 536 00:25:50,653 --> 00:25:54,173 Speaker 5: to pay for it. If you drive on the road, 537 00:25:54,293 --> 00:25:58,373 Speaker 5: you entrol tax. If you want to race your car, 538 00:25:58,733 --> 00:26:04,613 Speaker 5: you pay the race track. So tourists and Kiwi's possibly 539 00:26:04,733 --> 00:26:09,373 Speaker 5: should pay the same to use the facility. 540 00:26:10,053 --> 00:26:13,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if you're not using facilities. What I'm 541 00:26:13,333 --> 00:26:15,573 Speaker 2: saying is I'm taking a very pure and we don't 542 00:26:15,613 --> 00:26:18,813 Speaker 2: know if that this would ever this happen, but it's 543 00:26:18,933 --> 00:26:20,973 Speaker 2: very vague in what they're saying. But if you're a 544 00:26:21,013 --> 00:26:23,253 Speaker 2: family and you've driven down the roads and you've paid 545 00:26:23,293 --> 00:26:25,653 Speaker 2: your taxes and you've paid your registation on the roads, 546 00:26:25,653 --> 00:26:27,693 Speaker 2: and you pull off the road to just go and 547 00:26:27,733 --> 00:26:30,013 Speaker 2: have a little walk through the bush with your family, 548 00:26:30,453 --> 00:26:34,173 Speaker 2: you know, just a little a little look around that 549 00:26:34,213 --> 00:26:36,532 Speaker 2: would seem ridiculous to me that you'd pay for that. 550 00:26:36,613 --> 00:26:38,213 Speaker 2: I get if you're on the track because you're actually 551 00:26:38,333 --> 00:26:41,893 Speaker 2: using something to actually build something, but just having a 552 00:26:41,893 --> 00:26:45,413 Speaker 2: little nosy around some trees, you're going to charge people 553 00:26:45,413 --> 00:26:45,653 Speaker 2: for that? 554 00:26:47,493 --> 00:26:51,173 Speaker 5: Look at a ten minute walk, nos. But if you're 555 00:26:51,213 --> 00:26:54,893 Speaker 5: doing your two hour bush bash, yeah, pay for it. 556 00:26:55,333 --> 00:26:57,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, but don't we want Keywis to be out doing 557 00:26:57,453 --> 00:27:00,933 Speaker 2: a two hour bush bash. Yeah, that's exactly what we 558 00:27:01,013 --> 00:27:03,853 Speaker 2: want to do. If you're bashing bush, go for it. 559 00:27:04,253 --> 00:27:05,973 Speaker 2: If you if you're on the track and staying in 560 00:27:05,973 --> 00:27:09,013 Speaker 2: a heart, then then maybe pay. But what ever happens, 561 00:27:09,133 --> 00:27:11,893 Speaker 2: let's just make the international tourists pay a lot, because 562 00:27:11,893 --> 00:27:15,493 Speaker 2: whenever I'm overseas, I seem to get fleeced completely everywhere 563 00:27:15,493 --> 00:27:18,173 Speaker 2: I go. You go here and there's an international fee 564 00:27:18,213 --> 00:27:19,893 Speaker 2: and you pay it and you don't care because you're 565 00:27:19,893 --> 00:27:22,013 Speaker 2: a tourist and these those are the rules of where 566 00:27:22,013 --> 00:27:22,613 Speaker 2: you have gone. 567 00:27:23,813 --> 00:27:26,573 Speaker 5: Well, no, if you've been overseas, how many times have 568 00:27:26,653 --> 00:27:28,253 Speaker 5: you not done something because of. 569 00:27:28,213 --> 00:27:31,293 Speaker 2: The cost, Well, every time I go overseas? 570 00:27:32,253 --> 00:27:34,573 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but the local. 571 00:27:36,293 --> 00:27:39,213 Speaker 2: But sorry, so you go, sorry, Tony, you go? 572 00:27:40,373 --> 00:27:45,093 Speaker 5: Yeah, So after local paces, tame amount it's there. So 573 00:27:45,213 --> 00:27:48,253 Speaker 5: if you want to go to the Tom Lorrero, but well, 574 00:27:48,973 --> 00:27:50,933 Speaker 5: if you want to go into the White Jack res 575 00:27:51,053 --> 00:27:54,893 Speaker 5: the Cowdy Woman, Yeah, that's five back. 576 00:27:56,853 --> 00:27:58,853 Speaker 3: The more I think about it, Tony though, and and 577 00:27:59,133 --> 00:28:02,933 Speaker 3: just I'm kind of coming in the middle here that 578 00:28:03,973 --> 00:28:06,293 Speaker 3: and this is what annoys me that I think people 579 00:28:06,373 --> 00:28:07,853 Speaker 3: like you who get into the bush, and people like 580 00:28:07,893 --> 00:28:09,533 Speaker 3: me you get a to the bush, we pay because 581 00:28:09,533 --> 00:28:11,253 Speaker 3: we know that's the right thing to do. We care 582 00:28:11,293 --> 00:28:13,733 Speaker 3: about where we're walking, and that's something we love to do, 583 00:28:13,813 --> 00:28:15,493 Speaker 3: so we're happy to pay for that because it goes 584 00:28:15,493 --> 00:28:19,733 Speaker 3: back to that activity. The tourists don't have that same mentality. 585 00:28:19,813 --> 00:28:22,493 Speaker 3: So that's what I'm right behind, as Matt says, fleecing 586 00:28:22,533 --> 00:28:25,893 Speaker 3: the tourists. But maybe if you ask someone that uses 587 00:28:26,013 --> 00:28:28,813 Speaker 3: those those areas, you're going to pay anyway. So it's 588 00:28:28,813 --> 00:28:31,613 Speaker 3: not a compulsory system, but it's it's heavily implied that 589 00:28:31,653 --> 00:28:32,573 Speaker 3: it's the right thing to do. 590 00:28:33,813 --> 00:28:36,173 Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot. If you go to the museum, you 591 00:28:36,253 --> 00:28:39,733 Speaker 5: mean to pay, unless you're a rate payer, but even 592 00:28:39,773 --> 00:28:44,413 Speaker 5: then the rates should put a dollar coin in. Yeah, 593 00:28:44,813 --> 00:28:48,533 Speaker 5: So yeah, I think it should be a fair thing 594 00:28:48,573 --> 00:28:51,253 Speaker 5: where local pays the same as a turtle. 595 00:28:52,053 --> 00:28:54,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, but but locals are already contributing with their tax 596 00:28:54,973 --> 00:28:58,213 Speaker 2: dollars before they before anything happens. An international tourist hasn't 597 00:28:58,213 --> 00:29:02,293 Speaker 2: contributed anything. So surely you should get at least a 598 00:29:02,333 --> 00:29:04,813 Speaker 2: discount because a certain amount of your money's gone to 599 00:29:04,813 --> 00:29:07,213 Speaker 2: dock already if. 600 00:29:06,973 --> 00:29:11,173 Speaker 5: You pay the tag and your tax money. As you say, 601 00:29:12,453 --> 00:29:17,133 Speaker 5: is that not only your area, So if you're from Wellington, 602 00:29:17,173 --> 00:29:21,133 Speaker 5: then coming to Auckland, surely you should pay because it's 603 00:29:21,173 --> 00:29:21,973 Speaker 5: not your area. 604 00:29:22,253 --> 00:29:27,013 Speaker 2: Well well doc DOC is as a central government agency. 605 00:29:26,893 --> 00:29:27,053 Speaker 5: But. 606 00:29:29,493 --> 00:29:32,333 Speaker 2: You could also the Walentonians, as some textas said before 607 00:29:32,453 --> 00:29:35,733 Speaker 2: on nine two nine two, could start charging people for 608 00:29:35,813 --> 00:29:38,413 Speaker 2: coming to Wellington. I wouldn't go, So they go, you're 609 00:29:38,413 --> 00:29:40,693 Speaker 2: from Auckland. You played rates in Auckland. You don't play 610 00:29:40,773 --> 00:29:44,813 Speaker 2: rates in Wellington. I just want to I'd buys. So 611 00:29:44,893 --> 00:29:46,933 Speaker 2: you have to pay twenty bucks a night to hang 612 00:29:46,973 --> 00:29:49,653 Speaker 2: out in Wellington. It's kind of the same. It could 613 00:29:49,693 --> 00:29:51,093 Speaker 2: go anywhere, and you could get to the point where 614 00:29:51,093 --> 00:29:53,173 Speaker 2: you're charging people to go to the beach as well. 615 00:29:53,253 --> 00:29:55,653 Speaker 2: So there are reasons. There's upkeep on the beach, there's 616 00:29:55,693 --> 00:30:00,093 Speaker 2: there's a whole lot of you know, restoration, of sand 617 00:30:00,133 --> 00:30:02,253 Speaker 2: dunes and such, So maybe you could, maybe you could 618 00:30:02,293 --> 00:30:03,533 Speaker 2: charge people go to the beach as well, if you're 619 00:30:03,533 --> 00:30:07,213 Speaker 2: going to get into charging people for going tonal natural 620 00:30:07,333 --> 00:30:08,133 Speaker 2: country assets. 621 00:30:08,373 --> 00:30:11,453 Speaker 3: Depends on what beach.

There's a couple of things. 661 00:31:51,373 --> 00:31:54,293 Speaker 8: There's also to spillover from visitors to New Zealand. You know, 662 00:31:54,533 --> 00:31:58,373 Speaker 8: GST going to the coffee shop buying petrol and they 663 00:31:58,813 --> 00:32:00,773 Speaker 8: just help to get it as our biggest export owner. 664 00:32:01,373 --> 00:32:03,053 Speaker 8: So if you want to shut the gate, so we'll 665 00:32:03,053 --> 00:32:07,653 Speaker 8: make it, make New Zealand uncompetitive on the world stage 666 00:32:07,773 --> 00:32:09,653 Speaker 8: and so visitors stop coming. 667 00:32:09,733 --> 00:32:12,173 Speaker 2: Well, you could argue we're already uncompetitive on the world 668 00:32:12,253 --> 00:32:14,893 Speaker 2: stage because we're so far away. But all I'm saying 669 00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:18,373 Speaker 2: is in my experience when I go overseas, and I'm 670 00:32:18,413 --> 00:32:22,733 Speaker 2: always charged more as an international guest. An international tourist 671 00:32:22,773 --> 00:32:27,693 Speaker 2: into a country happens at the parks in America. So 672 00:32:28,733 --> 00:32:31,493 Speaker 2: I don't see what the problem is. New Zealanders already 673 00:32:31,493 --> 00:32:34,173 Speaker 2: pay tax that goes to DOC and goes to the 674 00:32:34,253 --> 00:32:37,813 Speaker 2: national parks upkeep, So we've already paid some So personally, 675 00:32:37,853 --> 00:32:39,853 Speaker 2: I don't think we should pay anything New Zealanders, but 676 00:32:39,893 --> 00:32:42,893 Speaker 2: we should definitely pay less than the international tourists who 677 00:32:42,893 --> 00:32:46,693 Speaker 2: haven't contributed anywhere near as much as we have over 678 00:32:46,693 --> 00:32:49,933 Speaker 2: the years, or as we do yearly in our tax. 679 00:32:51,333 --> 00:32:53,573 Speaker 8: Yeah, so if you host somebody to your house on 680 00:32:53,613 --> 00:32:55,693 Speaker 8: the weekend, you do charge them with the door to 681 00:32:55,693 --> 00:32:59,573 Speaker 8: get across the threshold. Look, we're hosting these people. Look 682 00:32:59,573 --> 00:33:02,293 Speaker 8: I don't disagree. No, just give me a chance. I 683 00:33:02,293 --> 00:33:05,173 Speaker 8: don't disagree. So if you go worldwide and look at 684 00:33:05,653 --> 00:33:08,653 Speaker 8: the various national parks, look at America. Americans to pay 685 00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:11,533 Speaker 8: your combined annual pass eighty dollars and you can go 686 00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:13,093 Speaker 8: to any of the parts or you go to some 687 00:33:13,133 --> 00:33:16,173 Speaker 8: of them. So all I'm saying to you is, let's 688 00:33:16,373 --> 00:33:19,733 Speaker 8: take an informed position on this, take a balance view, 689 00:33:20,373 --> 00:33:24,653 Speaker 8: and not make it so restrictive to as you get 690 00:33:24,653 --> 00:33:26,053 Speaker 8: people to come in and enjoy. 691 00:33:25,613 --> 00:33:29,173 Speaker 2: What's not balance? What's not balanced about the view that 692 00:33:29,213 --> 00:33:32,093 Speaker 2: we should charge international tourists if we're going to charge 693 00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:33,853 Speaker 2: people to go to national parks, if we're going to 694 00:33:33,933 --> 00:33:36,693 Speaker 2: charge everyone to go to national parks. What's not balanced 695 00:33:36,733 --> 00:33:38,813 Speaker 2: about saying we should charge tourists more. 696 00:33:39,973 --> 00:33:41,853 Speaker 8: Well, well, we just did, didn't We just shifted the 697 00:33:41,893 --> 00:33:44,853 Speaker 8: international visitor levy from thirty five dollars to one hundred 698 00:33:45,093 --> 00:33:47,013 Speaker 8: for them to step across, you know, to get out 699 00:33:47,053 --> 00:33:49,773 Speaker 8: of the airport, and and that money that was tag 700 00:33:50,253 --> 00:33:53,613 Speaker 8: back to conservation. Then every time they pay on any 701 00:33:53,613 --> 00:33:56,613 Speaker 8: of those trips, we have a new Zealander or international visitor. 702 00:33:56,853 --> 00:33:58,853 Speaker 8: So there's two things here is where do we colleck 703 00:33:58,893 --> 00:34:01,013 Speaker 8: the money? Number one, do you do it out of 704 00:34:01,093 --> 00:34:03,573 Speaker 8: border or do your national pass? And then how is 705 00:34:03,613 --> 00:34:07,093 Speaker 8: it spent, and that's a key one. So a lot 706 00:34:07,133 --> 00:34:11,692 Speaker 8: of that those fees going into consolidate the fund and 707 00:34:11,733 --> 00:34:13,613 Speaker 8: how is it actually spread out? And I suppose that's 708 00:34:13,613 --> 00:34:16,573 Speaker 8: an argument today on this and your channel is how 709 00:34:16,613 --> 00:34:19,773 Speaker 8: do you then apply those funds? So my argument is, 710 00:34:20,333 --> 00:34:22,692 Speaker 8: let's just be careful how we click those funds, let's 711 00:34:22,693 --> 00:34:26,013 Speaker 8: do it in a smart manner. And then further to that, 712 00:34:26,493 --> 00:34:28,733 Speaker 8: how do we then apply that and where does that 713 00:34:28,773 --> 00:34:29,333 Speaker 8: money go to? 714 00:34:29,653 --> 00:34:29,813 Speaker 2: Well? 715 00:34:29,813 --> 00:34:31,973 Speaker 3: Mark, I know who you are. You've spent a long 716 00:34:32,053 --> 00:34:34,813 Speaker 3: time in tourism and you've been very successful in the 717 00:34:34,853 --> 00:34:37,333 Speaker 3: tourism space. But is it genuine when people because this 718 00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:40,573 Speaker 3: argument keeps popping up that if we charge the international 719 00:34:40,613 --> 00:34:42,893 Speaker 3: tourists too much, they just won't come here. I just 720 00:34:42,933 --> 00:34:45,293 Speaker 3: don't buy that. I mean, clearly there is a level, 721 00:34:45,373 --> 00:34:47,853 Speaker 3: but what we're talking about here, to me, I just 722 00:34:47,933 --> 00:34:48,493 Speaker 3: don't see that. 723 00:34:49,973 --> 00:34:52,533 Speaker 8: Okay, No, I don't disagree. But if we charge too 724 00:34:52,573 --> 00:34:55,653 Speaker 8: much and they stop coming here, then with a major problem. 725 00:34:56,093 --> 00:34:58,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, what I would say, the only reason why 726 00:34:58,493 --> 00:35:00,253 Speaker 2: we want them here is to charge them and as 727 00:35:00,333 --> 00:35:02,453 Speaker 2: much as we possibly can, right up to the limits. 728 00:35:02,493 --> 00:35:05,253 Speaker 2: So as a country, we should be looking at charging 729 00:35:06,173 --> 00:35:09,733 Speaker 2: tourists right to the very limit they can bear to 730 00:35:09,773 --> 00:35:11,573 Speaker 2: come here, because that's what we have them here. If 731 00:35:11,573 --> 00:35:15,172 Speaker 2: we're treating it as a export earning, which it is 732 00:35:15,813 --> 00:35:17,773 Speaker 2: when they come here, then that's what we should do. 733 00:35:17,813 --> 00:35:20,692 Speaker 2: What that limit is, I'm not sure. But when they 734 00:35:20,733 --> 00:35:22,733 Speaker 2: go to a park. You can come into this country 735 00:35:22,853 --> 00:35:26,093 Speaker 2: and you don't go to a park and you don't pay, 736 00:35:26,133 --> 00:35:27,652 Speaker 2: But if you want to go to the park, you pay, 737 00:35:27,693 --> 00:35:28,933 Speaker 2: and you pay more than keywis. 738 00:35:29,893 --> 00:35:32,172 Speaker 8: Yeah, And it's a circular argument. So what we've got 739 00:35:32,173 --> 00:35:34,333 Speaker 8: a problem at the moment. Are we providing a good 740 00:35:34,373 --> 00:35:37,692 Speaker 8: experience and good facilities everywhere? And you know, I'm sure 741 00:35:37,773 --> 00:35:40,652 Speaker 8: most most in the national visitors or most visitors are 742 00:35:40,653 --> 00:35:43,293 Speaker 8: happy to pay, but as long as they get in 743 00:35:43,293 --> 00:35:45,853 Speaker 8: the quality experience in generally they are. But some of 744 00:35:45,853 --> 00:35:49,093 Speaker 8: our facilities are not up to standard. And that's one 745 00:35:49,093 --> 00:35:51,253 Speaker 8: of the problems we got there. So I think we're 746 00:35:51,293 --> 00:35:53,613 Speaker 8: probably both agreeing on the one thing. 747 00:35:54,693 --> 00:35:56,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thinks you call Mark? 748 00:35:56,173 --> 00:35:58,652 Speaker 3: Yeah, very good to chat.

Absolutely right. We have been talking 869 00:41:28,333 --> 00:41:31,772 Speaker 3: about potentially charging New Zealanders to use places like national 870 00:41:31,853 --> 00:41:34,333 Speaker 3: parks as part of a discussion document that the Department 871 00:41:34,373 --> 00:41:36,893 Speaker 3: of Conservation has put into the ether. They want to 872 00:41:36,933 --> 00:41:39,573 Speaker 3: hear from us about whether this is a good idea. 873 00:41:39,973 --> 00:41:43,413 Speaker 3: And one of the questions they ask is around potentially 874 00:41:43,493 --> 00:41:46,013 Speaker 3: charging tourists an international tourists, And I'll just read out 875 00:41:46,013 --> 00:41:48,933 Speaker 3: these key questions. Who should be charged? Should fees apply 876 00:41:49,053 --> 00:41:51,813 Speaker 3: only to international visitors or also to Kiwi tourists. Where 877 00:41:51,813 --> 00:41:55,253 Speaker 3: should those charges apply, what types of locations are suitable 878 00:41:55,293 --> 00:41:58,453 Speaker 3: for such vis and how should that revenue be used. 879 00:41:58,493 --> 00:42:01,213 Speaker 3: Plenty of feedback coming through on the text machine. Nine 880 00:42:01,293 --> 00:42:03,773 Speaker 3: two nine tours that number, and we'd love to have 881 00:42:03,813 --> 00:42:05,212 Speaker 3: a check with you on this one oh eight hundred 882 00:42:05,293 --> 00:42:06,133 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. 883 00:42:06,413 --> 00:42:09,453 Speaker 2: My vi honor has charged the internet national tourists and 884 00:42:09,573 --> 00:42:12,053 Speaker 2: don't charge kiweks because we already pay our taxes for it. 885 00:42:12,253 --> 00:42:15,093 Speaker 2: But this TEXTI here says guys, I pay my taxes 886 00:42:15,133 --> 00:42:17,652 Speaker 2: and don't go to national parks. So why so for 887 00:42:17,733 --> 00:42:20,333 Speaker 2: thousands like me, I'm not getting anything out of it? Well, 888 00:42:20,813 --> 00:42:23,413 Speaker 2: I think you are knowing that your country's got beautiful 889 00:42:23,493 --> 00:42:26,653 Speaker 2: natural parks. I mean I think I think spiritually you 890 00:42:26,733 --> 00:42:27,893 Speaker 2: might be getting something out of it. 891 00:42:28,053 --> 00:42:30,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, And just just to the point of what the 892 00:42:30,373 --> 00:42:33,813 Speaker 3: caller last hour who said that the tracks weren't up 893 00:42:33,933 --> 00:42:35,933 Speaker 3: kept and they are a bit run down, I mean, 894 00:42:35,933 --> 00:42:38,333 Speaker 3: that's the whole point about charging people. That the money 895 00:42:38,413 --> 00:42:40,373 Speaker 3: is ring fenced to go back into those tracks. 896 00:42:40,653 --> 00:42:42,933 Speaker 2: How pristine does it have to be? You don't need 897 00:42:43,333 --> 00:42:45,772 Speaker 2: the red carpet rolled out as you walk up the track. 898 00:42:46,213 --> 00:42:47,133 Speaker 2: It's got to be a bit. 899 00:42:47,453 --> 00:42:50,173 Speaker 3: I refuse to walk those tracks. They're boring. I want rugged, 900 00:42:50,213 --> 00:42:51,413 Speaker 3: I want to buschbasher. 901 00:42:51,453 --> 00:42:53,253 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's got to be a little bit challenging 902 00:42:53,293 --> 00:42:53,933 Speaker 2: or what's the point? 903 00:42:54,053 --> 00:42:56,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, Carl, what do you feel about this? 904 00:42:57,813 --> 00:42:58,693 Speaker 21: Absolus? 905 00:43:00,893 --> 00:43:01,413 Speaker 8: Can you hear me? 906 00:43:01,533 --> 00:43:02,013 Speaker 2: Yeah? Gotcha? 907 00:43:02,093 --> 00:43:02,293 Speaker 22: Yeah? 908 00:43:02,733 --> 00:43:02,933 Speaker 2: Clear? 909 00:43:03,013 --> 00:43:05,013 Speaker 3: Key, keen on your thoughts. Is it a wise move 910 00:43:05,133 --> 00:43:06,133 Speaker 3: to look at charges? 911 00:43:06,853 --> 00:43:07,053 Speaker 5: Well? 912 00:43:07,093 --> 00:43:10,453 Speaker 21: Look at the reality is in New Zealand the tourism 913 00:43:10,493 --> 00:43:13,133 Speaker 21: industry really highlights the problem that we have here, and 914 00:43:13,133 --> 00:43:14,812 Speaker 21: that's we don't have enough people to pay our rates 915 00:43:14,813 --> 00:43:19,172 Speaker 21: to pay for infrastructure and tourism, especially tourism areas high 916 00:43:19,173 --> 00:43:23,732 Speaker 21: density areas are really struggling, particularly those low populations. See 917 00:43:24,013 --> 00:43:26,733 Speaker 21: absolutely I support a levy and not The reality is 918 00:43:26,733 --> 00:43:29,853 Speaker 21: it's expensive to fly or get to New Zealand anyway. 919 00:43:31,053 --> 00:43:33,652 Speaker 21: Adding one hundred bucks or two hundred bucks on is 920 00:43:33,693 --> 00:43:37,213 Speaker 21: really to me here or there. The problem also is 921 00:43:37,893 --> 00:43:39,813 Speaker 21: how does that get divvied up when it gets here 922 00:43:39,813 --> 00:43:43,253 Speaker 21: because at the moment that's controlled by central government, but really, 923 00:43:43,293 --> 00:43:45,772 Speaker 21: in my mind needs to go to the areas where 924 00:43:45,773 --> 00:43:48,613 Speaker 21: the terists are spending their money to pay for that infrastructure. 925 00:43:48,813 --> 00:43:52,333 Speaker 21: Otherwise it just gets lost and there are a lot 926 00:43:52,413 --> 00:43:56,053 Speaker 21: of ways you can tax or charge people for going. 927 00:43:55,893 --> 00:43:56,493 Speaker 20: To certain areas. 928 00:43:56,493 --> 00:44:00,053 Speaker 21: Obviously, you can have your arrival levy, which they're doing 929 00:44:00,093 --> 00:44:01,533 Speaker 21: at the moment as you say, they put up from 930 00:44:01,533 --> 00:44:02,973 Speaker 21: twenty five to one hundred bucks. 931 00:44:03,253 --> 00:44:05,253 Speaker 23: But you could have taxes. 932 00:44:05,373 --> 00:44:09,893 Speaker 21: Going into high quality or high demand areas such as 933 00:44:09,933 --> 00:44:12,772 Speaker 21: Mount Cook National Park for instance, or Fieldland National Park, 934 00:44:13,053 --> 00:44:15,053 Speaker 21: where the kiwi's have got to pay is a whole 935 00:44:15,133 --> 00:44:19,733 Speaker 21: other question, I guess, But again it comes down to 936 00:44:21,573 --> 00:44:24,613 Speaker 21: quality of infrastructure. And as a tourism operator myself, I know, 937 00:44:24,773 --> 00:44:28,172 Speaker 21: you know, I'm a little bit apprehensive about making ourselves 938 00:44:28,693 --> 00:44:32,213 Speaker 21: too expensive, but you need to have good product and 939 00:44:32,253 --> 00:44:35,613 Speaker 21: I always used to say that, you know, we've advertised 940 00:44:35,653 --> 00:44:37,173 Speaker 21: for a party of one hundred, we actually had a 941 00:44:37,213 --> 00:44:41,773 Speaker 21: thousand people turn up. And if you look at infrastructure 942 00:44:41,813 --> 00:44:46,133 Speaker 21: such as the national I've got going now, a lot 943 00:44:46,133 --> 00:44:49,173 Speaker 21: of it doesn't have toilets, it doesn't have facilities, so 944 00:44:49,213 --> 00:44:53,213 Speaker 21: it's untidy and those things impact on people's quality of experience. 945 00:44:53,333 --> 00:44:59,013 Speaker 21: So I fully support a tourism needing for people arriving here. 946 00:44:59,013 --> 00:45:00,493 Speaker 21: If you go to most other countries in the world, 947 00:45:00,573 --> 00:45:04,772 Speaker 21: you pay it, and we do suffer from not having 948 00:45:04,853 --> 00:45:07,853 Speaker 21: enough people to pay for those sorts of things one percent. 949 00:45:08,053 --> 00:45:10,333 Speaker 2: I think it's interesting though when people say, you know, 950 00:45:11,013 --> 00:45:15,293 Speaker 2: maybe tourists won't come or if it costs too much. 951 00:45:15,333 --> 00:45:18,093 Speaker 2: But everything you do in tourism, if you if you're 952 00:45:18,093 --> 00:45:21,053 Speaker 2: traveling overseas, if you're coming to New Zealand, we absolutely 953 00:45:21,053 --> 00:45:24,973 Speaker 2: fleece tourists. Anytime you go to do something that's that's 954 00:45:25,013 --> 00:45:27,933 Speaker 2: in a popular tourist place, whatever you think it's going 955 00:45:27,973 --> 00:45:30,573 Speaker 2: to cost, it costs three times that. And it blows 956 00:45:30,573 --> 00:45:32,813 Speaker 2: your mind. Why wouldn't we do the same thing with 957 00:45:32,853 --> 00:45:35,973 Speaker 2: our national parks? Why would a tourism operator who works 958 00:45:36,013 --> 00:45:38,653 Speaker 2: out the right amount to keep them in business and 959 00:45:39,373 --> 00:45:41,573 Speaker 2: make a profit and keep going. They work out a 960 00:45:41,613 --> 00:45:44,212 Speaker 2: price and tourists will pay it, and if it's too much, 961 00:45:44,293 --> 00:45:46,453 Speaker 2: they don't. But why don't we do that in national parks. 962 00:45:46,533 --> 00:45:49,172 Speaker 2: Let's just see, Well tourists still do the walks. If 963 00:45:49,213 --> 00:45:52,573 Speaker 2: it's five hundred bucks, well let's let's try it, because 964 00:45:52,573 --> 00:45:54,253 Speaker 2: otherwise they're just coming over there and we're not. If 965 00:45:54,253 --> 00:45:56,133 Speaker 2: we're not making money from them, then what's the point 966 00:45:56,133 --> 00:45:56,693 Speaker 2: in the tourists. 967 00:45:57,893 --> 00:45:59,813 Speaker 21: If you're paying five hundred bucks, you're doing it through 968 00:45:59,813 --> 00:46:01,573 Speaker 21: a private company. If you if you're doing it on 969 00:46:01,613 --> 00:46:02,933 Speaker 21: your own, it's either going to be that much. 970 00:46:02,933 --> 00:46:04,853 Speaker 2: But the next time, I'm just using it as as 971 00:46:04,853 --> 00:46:07,453 Speaker 2: an example. You find the cost that is that is 972 00:46:07,453 --> 00:46:09,733 Speaker 2: at the exact point where you make money off the 973 00:46:09,773 --> 00:46:12,693 Speaker 2: tourists and they still they still come. That's what you do. 974 00:46:12,773 --> 00:46:15,493 Speaker 2: You don't charge them nothing. You find that, you find 975 00:46:15,493 --> 00:46:18,213 Speaker 2: the cost that is the right cost for us to 976 00:46:18,213 --> 00:46:20,213 Speaker 2: make money off them and for them to keep coming. 977 00:46:20,493 --> 00:46:23,093 Speaker 2: And that's what every tourism operator does. That's what that's 978 00:46:23,133 --> 00:46:26,093 Speaker 2: what we do, but we don't do it in our 979 00:46:26,173 --> 00:46:28,173 Speaker 2: national parks. So just find out what that money is. 980 00:46:28,413 --> 00:46:30,733 Speaker 2: Five hundred sounds a lot. I was just using that example, 981 00:46:30,773 --> 00:46:33,013 Speaker 2: but maybe it's two fifty. I mean, how much do 982 00:46:33,053 --> 00:46:34,053 Speaker 2: you pay for a bungee jump? 983 00:46:34,653 --> 00:46:35,253 Speaker 11: It's about that. 984 00:46:35,293 --> 00:46:37,413 Speaker 3: Well, it's quite expensive. And you're right, you know you 985 00:46:37,413 --> 00:46:39,333 Speaker 3: get the young tourists coming through. I mean, car, what 986 00:46:39,333 --> 00:46:41,613 Speaker 3: what do you do in tourism? What's your business? 987 00:46:44,173 --> 00:46:48,093 Speaker 21: I know, well, their own Tikopa springs that make Tekea pots. 988 00:46:48,293 --> 00:46:50,453 Speaker 21: So we've about one hundred and seventy thousand people through. 989 00:46:50,533 --> 00:46:55,093 Speaker 21: You have probably divided fifty fifty between international and domestic. 990 00:46:57,293 --> 00:46:59,973 Speaker 2: Your era gets absolutely punished by the amount of people 991 00:46:59,973 --> 00:47:02,693 Speaker 2: coming through and the amount of locals that have to 992 00:47:02,733 --> 00:47:03,773 Speaker 2: pay for the infrastructure. 993 00:47:04,933 --> 00:47:07,293 Speaker 21: Well, we're a basic example. I guess I've look four 994 00:47:07,333 --> 00:47:09,773 Speaker 21: and a half thousand rowe as. We've got huge tourism 995 00:47:09,853 --> 00:47:12,213 Speaker 21: growth and we our infrastructure is really struggling. 996 00:47:12,333 --> 00:47:12,893 Speaker 3: Yeah. 997 00:47:12,933 --> 00:47:16,652 Speaker 21: So, but you know it's central government have to change 998 00:47:16,733 --> 00:47:19,973 Speaker 21: legislation so that these areas get some of that money back. Definitely, 999 00:47:20,013 --> 00:47:20,853 Speaker 21: and at the moment. 1000 00:47:20,653 --> 00:47:21,693 Speaker 24: That's not how it works. 1001 00:47:22,533 --> 00:47:24,253 Speaker 21: I mean, there are examples and other places in the 1002 00:47:24,253 --> 00:47:28,053 Speaker 21: world of Switzerland and Germany where those high use areas 1003 00:47:28,093 --> 00:47:29,333 Speaker 21: get a lot of that money back. 1004 00:47:30,453 --> 00:47:32,013 Speaker 3: But it's good to check to you, Carl, because in 1005 00:47:32,013 --> 00:47:34,093 Speaker 3: the McKenzie district, I think you guys are the canary 1006 00:47:34,093 --> 00:47:36,413 Speaker 3: and the coal mine.

Fleecing them 1070 00:50:28,173 --> 00:50:32,773 Speaker 3: for all their worth? As Matt said, enjoying your show, guys. 1071 00:50:33,133 --> 00:50:35,573 Speaker 20: And yeah, look, I don't know if we'll be. 1072 00:50:35,453 --> 00:50:37,973 Speaker 24: Calling it pleecing, but I actually agree with them, and 1073 00:50:38,133 --> 00:50:41,772 Speaker 24: the fleecing is probably not the right word. 1074 00:50:41,853 --> 00:50:43,773 Speaker 2: But if not the word we'd share, we would we 1075 00:50:43,773 --> 00:50:45,853 Speaker 2: wouldn't share that word with them, We wouldn't let them 1076 00:50:45,893 --> 00:50:47,013 Speaker 2: know that we were calling it out. 1077 00:50:48,093 --> 00:50:51,013 Speaker 24: Okay, let's keep check that on the lowdown. We'll just 1078 00:50:51,013 --> 00:50:55,933 Speaker 24: make sure that they've got an absolutely pleasurable experience and 1079 00:50:55,933 --> 00:50:58,853 Speaker 24: that we've managed to extract every single nickel or dimeon 1080 00:50:59,413 --> 00:51:03,293 Speaker 24: and they've enjoyed the ride, and I think that there's 1081 00:51:03,333 --> 00:51:05,973 Speaker 24: a number of countries around the world that are very 1082 00:51:06,133 --> 00:51:09,373 Speaker 24: very very good at doing that. And I've recently had 1083 00:51:09,413 --> 00:51:12,893 Speaker 24: the experience of going to Ireland and it was very 1084 00:51:12,973 --> 00:51:15,533 Speaker 24: very expensive and I found by the time I finished, 1085 00:51:15,733 --> 00:51:19,453 Speaker 24: my pockets were absolutely empty that I had and enjoyed 1086 00:51:19,453 --> 00:51:21,893 Speaker 24: the experience, and that's suck efic thing they possibly cout 1087 00:51:21,933 --> 00:51:27,093 Speaker 24: out of my pocket. And so I agree with you, 1088 00:51:27,093 --> 00:51:32,053 Speaker 24: you know, but please sing no. So kwis kiwis as 1089 00:51:32,093 --> 00:51:35,893 Speaker 24: a birthright. I think we're entitled because of everything that's 1090 00:51:35,933 --> 00:51:39,652 Speaker 24: been contributed to have access to the bush, and there's 1091 00:51:39,693 --> 00:51:42,093 Speaker 24: no doubt about it. We're trying to encourage a healthy 1092 00:51:42,133 --> 00:51:45,133 Speaker 24: populace and one way of doing that is making it 1093 00:51:45,173 --> 00:51:47,133 Speaker 24: readily accessible to people, no. 1094 00:51:47,053 --> 00:51:47,853 Speaker 5: Matter who they are. 1095 00:51:48,173 --> 00:51:50,853 Speaker 24: We're one people, one country, and they should all be 1096 00:51:51,053 --> 00:51:56,453 Speaker 24: entitled to it as their birthright, and the overseas visitors 1097 00:51:56,493 --> 00:52:00,053 Speaker 24: that come they should obviously contribute. I think it should 1098 00:52:00,053 --> 00:52:03,173 Speaker 24: be a little bit targeted, particularly where we can and 1099 00:52:03,213 --> 00:52:07,053 Speaker 24: there's some fantastic information centers up and down the country 1100 00:52:07,453 --> 00:52:10,093 Speaker 24: and people going to be doing these work walks, they 1101 00:52:10,133 --> 00:52:12,613 Speaker 24: should go there and they should obtain the permits. The 1102 00:52:12,653 --> 00:52:16,973 Speaker 24: permit should be relatively cheap. But like overseas, you know, 1103 00:52:17,093 --> 00:52:19,973 Speaker 24: some of the places, if you get caught and you 1104 00:52:20,013 --> 00:52:22,973 Speaker 24: don't have that permit and you're a tourist or whoever, 1105 00:52:23,533 --> 00:52:27,213 Speaker 24: you know, you pay handsomely for being. 1106 00:52:27,093 --> 00:52:28,053 Speaker 11: Tinged, you know. 1107 00:52:28,493 --> 00:52:30,373 Speaker 24: And if you've got a top worker and you're a 1108 00:52:30,413 --> 00:52:32,093 Speaker 24: tourist and you get caught on the trail and you 1109 00:52:32,133 --> 00:52:35,133 Speaker 24: haven't got your permit or whatever else with you, you know, 1110 00:52:35,253 --> 00:52:37,893 Speaker 24: there's a handsome fine which can be extracted before you 1111 00:52:37,973 --> 00:52:38,613 Speaker 24: leave the country. 1112 00:52:38,613 --> 00:52:40,053 Speaker 18: Thank you very much, Yeah you. 1113 00:52:40,013 --> 00:52:42,573 Speaker 2: Know, yeah, well I think thank you so much for 1114 00:52:42,613 --> 00:52:47,333 Speaker 2: your call.

One second? 1116 00:52:49,853 --> 00:52:52,293 Speaker 2: But Bubba, so many texts abusing me coming in, it's 1117 00:52:52,333 --> 00:52:55,653 Speaker 2: hard to get to the one that or boy, where's 1118 00:52:55,653 --> 00:52:56,053 Speaker 2: it gone? 1119 00:52:56,133 --> 00:52:59,893 Speaker 3: Well, here's one that agrees with you. Yes, Matt love 1120 00:52:59,933 --> 00:53:02,773 Speaker 3: what you're saying, New Zealand is a business? Is it not? 1121 00:53:04,013 --> 00:53:05,813 Speaker 2: Well, I'll just remember what Basically here we go on 1122 00:53:05,893 --> 00:53:08,853 Speaker 2: with Matt. Text coming through this keeps going down on 1123 00:53:09,573 --> 00:53:13,293 Speaker 2: on with Matt. Other countries do other country overseas fleece us? 1124 00:53:13,293 --> 00:53:15,212 Speaker 2: Of course they do? Wake up people. That's one hundred 1125 00:53:15,213 --> 00:53:16,733 Speaker 2: percent correct. But it took me a long time to 1126 00:53:16,773 --> 00:53:18,333 Speaker 2: find a text that was about focus. 1127 00:53:18,013 --> 00:53:20,533 Speaker 3: With blooding in. At the moment, you've really put the. 1128 00:53:21,173 --> 00:53:23,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, because because I go You know, I went to 1129 00:53:23,533 --> 00:53:26,813 Speaker 2: Hawaii not so long ago, and they absolutely fleeced me. 1130 00:53:26,933 --> 00:53:31,333 Speaker 2: Hawaii is a well oiled tourist fleecing machine. You wouldn't 1131 00:53:31,373 --> 00:53:32,893 Speaker 2: believe the ways they get money out of you. The 1132 00:53:32,933 --> 00:53:35,853 Speaker 2: money just you leave, you're completely stripped of all the 1133 00:53:35,893 --> 00:53:38,893 Speaker 2: cash you could possibly they can possibly get off you. Yeah, 1134 00:53:38,933 --> 00:53:40,772 Speaker 2: but I had a great time and I'll probably go back. 1135 00:53:41,013 --> 00:53:43,253 Speaker 3: Same with Thailand. I went to Thailand as a somewhat 1136 00:53:43,293 --> 00:53:45,213 Speaker 3: wealthy guy and they took most of my money and 1137 00:53:45,253 --> 00:53:46,333 Speaker 3: I'm still making up for it now. 1138 00:53:46,613 --> 00:53:48,893 Speaker 2: That's that's all I'm saying. That's the point of tourism. 1139 00:53:48,893 --> 00:53:51,732 Speaker 2: It's not a nasty thing. You We love to meet people. 1140 00:53:51,773 --> 00:53:53,773 Speaker 2: We love all people from all around the world. But 1141 00:53:53,853 --> 00:53:55,853 Speaker 2: you're naive if you think when you go to another 1142 00:53:55,893 --> 00:53:58,652 Speaker 2: country that they're not doing everything they can to fleece you. 1143 00:53:58,733 --> 00:54:01,253 Speaker 2: That's the point. People are on holidays, they've got that's 1144 00:54:01,253 --> 00:54:04,253 Speaker 2: when they're going to spend spend money. So my point 1145 00:54:04,333 --> 00:54:06,333 Speaker 2: is that if our tourism operators are so good at 1146 00:54:06,333 --> 00:54:09,093 Speaker 2: fleecing people as they are, and I know fleecing this 1147 00:54:09,133 --> 00:54:12,053 Speaker 2: is a triggering word for the text machine. It's operation 1148 00:54:12,213 --> 00:54:14,453 Speaker 2: Secret fleece. We just we don't say that to the tourists. 1149 00:54:14,493 --> 00:54:16,773 Speaker 2: We say it's operation Everyone in New Zealand knows that's 1150 00:54:16,773 --> 00:54:18,253 Speaker 2: their job to fleece the tourists. We don't tell the 1151 00:54:18,293 --> 00:54:20,973 Speaker 2: tourists that that's what we're doing.

But he 1328 01:03:11,813 --> 01:03:14,373 Speaker 2: says to me, he says, he says, he says, New 1329 01:03:14,493 --> 01:03:16,813 Speaker 2: Zealand has the absolute worst weather in the world.

There was a lot of kickback from 1332 01:03:22,613 --> 01:03:25,293 Speaker 2: the Kiwi pilots on that. Yeah, they said, we had 1333 01:03:25,293 --> 01:03:27,653 Speaker 2: interesting with her here, but not the worst weather in 1334 01:03:27,693 --> 01:03:29,773 Speaker 2: the world. And it was a great discussion. 1335 01:03:30,853 --> 01:03:34,573 Speaker 3: But do we how dare he and what do you reckon? 1336 01:03:35,693 --> 01:03:36,013 Speaker 11: Oh? 1337 01:03:36,213 --> 01:03:39,293 Speaker 26: Absolutely, we don't have the worst weather in the world. 1338 01:03:39,853 --> 01:03:42,573 Speaker 26: I was brought up in Angram. I've been a Kiwi 1339 01:03:42,613 --> 01:03:45,253 Speaker 26: for years now. We came out here and had our 1340 01:03:45,293 --> 01:03:48,693 Speaker 26: children here, and I'm a Kiwi. But I go back 1341 01:03:48,733 --> 01:03:51,653 Speaker 26: to when I was a teenager on a farm and 1342 01:03:51,733 --> 01:03:55,053 Speaker 26: I can remember one particular morning. It was so cold 1343 01:03:55,173 --> 01:03:59,173 Speaker 26: the inside because nobody had inside. It was a great, 1344 01:03:59,213 --> 01:04:01,333 Speaker 26: big old farmhouse and we had no warmth at night. 1345 01:04:01,413 --> 01:04:03,533 Speaker 26: You know, they just used hot water bottles and what 1346 01:04:03,573 --> 01:04:05,493 Speaker 26: you could do. And it was frozen on the inside, 1347 01:04:05,533 --> 01:04:08,613 Speaker 26: and the goldfish got frozen and they then the little 1348 01:04:08,693 --> 01:04:12,613 Speaker 26: cheap thing and my mom had to defrost them slowly 1349 01:04:12,693 --> 01:04:13,053 Speaker 26: and they. 1350 01:04:13,013 --> 01:04:21,573 Speaker 2: Lived and bring it back and it still lives. 1351 01:04:21,773 --> 01:04:23,733 Speaker 26: There was a little bit. But one thing I do 1352 01:04:23,853 --> 01:04:26,453 Speaker 26: want to tell you was I went outside I can 1353 01:04:26,493 --> 01:04:30,413 Speaker 26: remember as a child and walked towards it and there 1354 01:04:30,413 --> 01:04:32,853 Speaker 26: were birds and they were frozen to death and they 1355 01:04:32,893 --> 01:04:36,733 Speaker 26: were still clutching on the hedge. It was so cold. 1356 01:04:36,973 --> 01:04:42,653 Speaker 26: And my interest was farming, which I pursued, and you 1357 01:04:42,693 --> 01:04:45,293 Speaker 26: know it was you had to get hot water out 1358 01:04:45,293 --> 01:04:48,293 Speaker 26: to get the open the gates to get into the cattle, 1359 01:04:48,333 --> 01:04:50,053 Speaker 26: and they knocked you over because you were trying to 1360 01:04:50,053 --> 01:04:50,973 Speaker 26: give them hay. 1361 01:04:50,693 --> 01:04:54,453 Speaker 3: And where is the housecape that you're talking about Obviously 1362 01:04:54,453 --> 01:04:55,613 Speaker 3: it's in England, but what part of. 1363 01:04:55,533 --> 01:04:58,853 Speaker 26: It and this would have been I don't know where 1364 01:04:58,853 --> 01:05:02,453 Speaker 26: I was at that stage. I worked all different times. 1365 01:05:02,493 --> 01:05:05,573 Speaker 26: I went to the college at Rittle and so around 1366 01:05:05,573 --> 01:05:08,093 Speaker 26: there somewhere you had to do practical work. But I 1367 01:05:08,133 --> 01:05:10,933 Speaker 26: had plenty of practical work on my own farm. 1368 01:05:11,173 --> 01:05:13,493 Speaker 2: We don't know what cold is here in New Zealand. 1369 01:05:13,573 --> 01:05:15,093 Speaker 2: So you know, this guy's saying we've got the worst 1370 01:05:15,133 --> 01:05:17,653 Speaker 2: weather ever. He was complaining about wind and rain. But 1371 01:05:19,213 --> 01:05:21,933 Speaker 2: you know, if you people in Canada and certain times, yeah, 1372 01:05:21,933 --> 01:05:24,333 Speaker 2: if their cat gets gets out of the house, that's 1373 01:05:24,373 --> 01:05:26,853 Speaker 2: in a frozen cat. You go out in the Yeah, 1374 01:05:26,853 --> 01:05:31,253 Speaker 2: that's that's a catsicle. You there's nowhere in New Zealand 1375 01:05:31,253 --> 01:05:34,053 Speaker 2: that will produce catsicles. But I mean the question is 1376 01:05:34,093 --> 01:05:36,173 Speaker 2: what is the worst weather as well? Because I like 1377 01:05:36,293 --> 01:05:38,413 Speaker 2: the four seasons in one day. I like the variety. 1378 01:05:38,533 --> 01:05:41,453 Speaker 2: And as someone texts here another fan of Captain Scott Buttery, 1379 01:05:41,493 --> 01:05:44,493 Speaker 2: who's my favorite ATR Pilot in New Zealand. Great pilot 1380 01:05:44,733 --> 01:05:46,973 Speaker 2: rams it into like a tent pig and when he 1381 01:05:47,053 --> 01:05:49,293 Speaker 2: lands in Napier but a great pilot and a crosswind. 1382 01:05:49,733 --> 01:05:52,173 Speaker 2: But as everyone knows in New Zealand. You that the 1383 01:05:52,173 --> 01:05:54,413 Speaker 2: pilots always say there's a bit of weather about. When 1384 01:05:54,453 --> 01:05:56,253 Speaker 2: you're flying, there's a bit of weather about, And that's 1385 01:05:56,293 --> 01:05:58,893 Speaker 2: what you say about New Zealand. There is always a 1386 01:05:58,933 --> 01:05:59,773 Speaker 2: bit of weather about. 1387 01:05:59,973 --> 01:06:01,093 Speaker 3: We love saying that phrase. 1388 01:06:01,453 --> 01:06:03,893 Speaker 2: Does that make it the worst weather in the world. Yeah, 1389 01:06:03,973 --> 01:06:05,813 Speaker 2: I don't know. And also what's good and bad? Like 1390 01:06:06,253 --> 01:06:09,133 Speaker 2: you know, I've often been jealous of that those states 1391 01:06:09,133 --> 01:06:10,973 Speaker 2: in America. I quite like the idea of it being 1392 01:06:11,013 --> 01:06:13,173 Speaker 2: snowed over and then you come into summer and it's 1393 01:06:13,173 --> 01:06:15,093 Speaker 2: really hot and you experience a couple of things. You 1394 01:06:15,173 --> 01:06:17,213 Speaker 2: might say that's freezing cold temperatures are the worst weather 1395 01:06:17,253 --> 01:06:19,533 Speaker 2: in the world, But they're interesting and they're dramatic and 1396 01:06:19,533 --> 01:06:21,973 Speaker 2: they're different and it's the rich test tapestry of life. 1397 01:06:22,053 --> 01:06:25,013 Speaker 3: Yeah. I've got a couple of English mates and they 1398 01:06:25,093 --> 01:06:27,613 Speaker 3: live here now they've got their residency the citizens, I think, 1399 01:06:27,613 --> 01:06:29,413 Speaker 3: and they love it here. But they kept talking about 1400 01:06:29,653 --> 01:06:31,613 Speaker 3: if there was a day that we have here in 1401 01:06:31,653 --> 01:06:33,893 Speaker 3: New Zealand like ninety percent of the time, if that 1402 01:06:33,973 --> 01:06:36,813 Speaker 3: day happened in England, the beer gardens would just be 1403 01:06:37,053 --> 01:06:40,173 Speaker 3: absolutely crammed with people. Even if it's a light dusting 1404 01:06:40,213 --> 01:06:42,253 Speaker 3: of rain. They'll still be crammed out saying this is 1405 01:06:42,253 --> 01:06:44,453 Speaker 3: the best day we've had a month's here in New Zealand. 1406 01:06:44,453 --> 01:06:45,893 Speaker 3: If it's a little bit of rain, no one's going 1407 01:06:45,933 --> 01:06:46,693 Speaker 3: to the beer gunner. 1408 01:06:46,813 --> 01:06:49,413 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I grew up in Dunedin and I feel 1409 01:06:49,453 --> 01:06:51,933 Speaker 2: like there was pro dunedan weather propaganda that I was 1410 01:06:51,973 --> 01:06:53,493 Speaker 2: under growing up because I thought I lived in a 1411 01:06:53,493 --> 01:06:56,213 Speaker 2: tropical paradise. I just thought that we had the best 1412 01:06:56,213 --> 01:06:58,813 Speaker 2: weather in the world and it was terrible in London 1413 01:06:58,853 --> 01:07:00,813 Speaker 2: and we were in New Zealand were basically a tropical country. 1414 01:07:00,853 --> 01:07:02,853 Speaker 2: I didn't know. I must have been climatized, and I 1415 01:07:03,013 --> 01:07:05,293 Speaker 2: was blown away when I moved to Auckland and found 1416 01:07:05,333 --> 01:07:08,573 Speaker 2: out that the duneedan weather substantially colder than now to 1417 01:07:08,613 --> 01:07:11,293 Speaker 2: be half the time, favorite city in the world, but 1418 01:07:11,293 --> 01:07:13,613 Speaker 2: substantially colder than it needs to be from time to time. 1419 01:07:14,373 --> 01:07:15,173 Speaker 3: Sue, how are you? 1420 01:07:16,533 --> 01:07:17,173 Speaker 12: I'm fine? 1421 01:07:17,253 --> 01:07:19,973 Speaker 27: Thank you? Am I talking now? Tore? 1422 01:07:20,053 --> 01:07:22,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, we want to hear weather. New Zealand has got 1423 01:07:22,413 --> 01:07:22,973 Speaker 3: the worse weather. 1424 01:07:23,853 --> 01:07:28,293 Speaker 27: Oh yeah, Well, my son is in southern Queensland on 1425 01:07:28,333 --> 01:07:31,293 Speaker 27: the coast, and I was talking to him a couple 1426 01:07:31,293 --> 01:07:35,213 Speaker 27: of days ago, and you know what the temperature was, 1427 01:07:36,213 --> 01:07:40,173 Speaker 27: thirty six degrees. Now, why would you want to bask 1428 01:07:40,253 --> 01:07:40,493 Speaker 27: in that? 1429 01:07:40,813 --> 01:07:41,653 Speaker 3: Yeah? That's not fun. 1430 01:07:41,773 --> 01:07:42,093 Speaker 22: Yeah. 1431 01:07:42,173 --> 01:07:44,133 Speaker 3: I mean, on one hand, you have frozen cats if 1432 01:07:44,173 --> 01:07:46,573 Speaker 3: you go outside in Canada, and then on the flip side, 1433 01:07:46,693 --> 01:07:48,733 Speaker 3: thirty six degrees where you can cook an egg on 1434 01:07:48,813 --> 01:07:51,293 Speaker 3: the bonnet. Neither of those things sound good to me. 1435 01:07:52,693 --> 01:07:52,933 Speaker 17: No. 1436 01:07:53,493 --> 01:07:55,773 Speaker 27: And the thing is it's going to get hot at 1437 01:07:55,813 --> 01:07:57,253 Speaker 27: what's it going to be in February? 1438 01:07:58,573 --> 01:08:00,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, good question.

Well, 1449 01:08:25,372 --> 01:08:28,093 Speaker 2: the far North has subtropical weather during summer, and the 1450 01:08:28,133 --> 01:08:30,253 Speaker 2: inline alpine areas of the South Island can be as 1451 01:08:30,293 --> 01:08:32,213 Speaker 2: cold as negteen. Most of the country lies close to 1452 01:08:32,253 --> 01:08:34,812 Speaker 2: the coast, which I mean the temperature. It's moderate with 1453 01:08:34,933 --> 01:08:38,452 Speaker 2: heavy rainfall but also abundant sunshine.

Now I'm going to get very deeper, 1496 01:10:28,293 --> 01:10:29,053 Speaker 10: meaningful here. 1497 01:10:29,133 --> 01:10:30,013 Speaker 24: So they bear with mac. 1498 01:10:31,853 --> 01:10:33,852 Speaker 10: We need to start paying for our stuff. 1499 01:10:33,893 --> 01:10:35,013 Speaker 5: Otherwise it all just. 1500 01:10:34,973 --> 01:10:37,772 Speaker 10: Gets pulled into our rates and then only the rate 1501 01:10:37,812 --> 01:10:42,972 Speaker 10: payers are paying for all these services. Otherwise they're taking 1502 01:10:43,013 --> 01:10:47,853 Speaker 10: it from our tax So again we're suffering a penalty. 1503 01:10:48,053 --> 01:10:50,452 Speaker 10: So if you want to go play down the park, 1504 01:10:51,053 --> 01:10:53,532 Speaker 10: and I don't know, get a license and shoot them 1505 01:10:53,612 --> 01:10:56,253 Speaker 10: there and have a good weekend campaign whatever you're doing 1506 01:10:56,293 --> 01:10:59,293 Speaker 10: down there. I think we should pay fifty percent and 1507 01:10:59,372 --> 01:11:03,372 Speaker 10: the tourist per Matt, how do. 1508 01:11:03,293 --> 01:11:05,373 Speaker 3: You feel about that. 1509 01:11:04,893 --> 01:11:08,932 Speaker 2: I think the touris should definitely pay more because, as 1510 01:11:08,933 --> 01:11:11,532 Speaker 2: you say, they're not playing tax and but but I 1511 01:11:11,572 --> 01:11:13,412 Speaker 2: personally think the key we shouldn't pay anything. And anything 1512 01:11:13,412 --> 01:11:15,253 Speaker 2: we were about to charge the key, we we should 1513 01:11:15,333 --> 01:11:17,692 Speaker 2: charge the overseas people if there's amount of money we need. 1514 01:11:18,133 --> 01:11:20,572 Speaker 2: I mean, what is doc's budget, you know how much? 1515 01:11:20,692 --> 01:11:22,652 Speaker 2: How much does DOC? What do they get? 1516 01:11:22,933 --> 01:11:24,532 Speaker 3: And I don't get much. 1517 01:11:26,213 --> 01:11:29,372 Speaker 10: I'm not I'm not knocking dock or you know, death. 1518 01:11:29,692 --> 01:11:32,333 Speaker 10: They've got a huge job on their hands. But I'm 1519 01:11:32,412 --> 01:11:38,732 Speaker 10: saying that there's too much. There's too much management. There's 1520 01:11:38,772 --> 01:11:44,812 Speaker 10: too many management people in these places taking salaries. I'm 1521 01:11:44,812 --> 01:11:47,772 Speaker 10: not saying they're not doing a job. But the country's 1522 01:11:47,772 --> 01:11:50,573 Speaker 10: infrastructure is completely stuff everywhere. 1523 01:11:50,853 --> 01:11:52,372 Speaker 29: Yeah, it's time. 1524 01:11:53,692 --> 01:11:55,253 Speaker 7: Nobody wants to up. 1525 01:11:55,572 --> 01:11:56,692 Speaker 3: Yep, it's not fair enough. 1526 01:11:56,692 --> 01:11:59,133 Speaker 2: The Department of Conversation was directed by the government to 1527 01:11:59,213 --> 01:12:03,213 Speaker 2: find savings of thirty one million per annum. So it's 1528 01:12:03,213 --> 01:12:05,692 Speaker 2: an interesting thing when a government department finds savings by 1529 01:12:05,933 --> 01:12:10,132 Speaker 2: charging New Zealanders to use their facilities that they went. 1530 01:12:09,973 --> 01:12:11,772 Speaker 3: Before A good point. Now you mentioned that, I. 1531 01:12:12,372 --> 01:12:14,532 Speaker 2: Mean, are you finding savings or are you just finding 1532 01:12:14,572 --> 01:12:17,652 Speaker 2: another way to get your tax base? 1533 01:12:17,772 --> 01:12:18,012 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1534 01:12:18,013 --> 01:12:18,852 Speaker 3: That changes it? 1535 01:12:19,053 --> 01:12:21,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, so so is that why? That's where it is. 1536 01:12:21,772 --> 01:12:24,492 Speaker 2: It's like, so, so what do. 1537 01:12:24,572 --> 01:12:26,852 Speaker 3: We say that at the start? That changes? I've cut 1538 01:12:26,893 --> 01:12:29,772 Speaker 3: the budget and then they want to fleece us for more. Yeah, 1539 01:12:29,772 --> 01:12:30,692 Speaker 3: I'm not paying anymore. 1540 01:12:30,812 --> 01:12:32,772 Speaker 2: You haven't made the if you haven't made efficiencies to 1541 01:12:33,492 --> 01:12:35,492 Speaker 2: drop that by thirty million. What you've done is just 1542 01:12:35,652 --> 01:12:38,732 Speaker 2: come up with an idea to to to indirectly tax us. 1543 01:12:39,173 --> 01:12:40,372 Speaker 3: Garth, how are you, mate? 1544 01:12:42,013 --> 01:12:42,333 Speaker 30: Close? 1545 01:12:42,652 --> 01:12:43,812 Speaker 3: Get a?

I could tell that, 1702 01:19:33,532 --> 01:19:34,933 Speaker 3: but it was coming out of an air break and 1703 01:19:34,933 --> 01:19:38,612 Speaker 3: you just hear Mike muttering and screaming under his breath, 1704 01:19:38,652 --> 01:19:40,532 Speaker 3: and I think Glenn has produced. He had to say, Mike, 1705 01:19:40,572 --> 01:19:42,133 Speaker 3: you get a show to do, will you stop mucking 1706 01:19:42,133 --> 01:19:44,933 Speaker 3: around with that printer? And he was so angry. He 1707 01:19:45,013 --> 01:19:47,053 Speaker 3: was angry at the printer. He was smacking the thing. 1708 01:19:47,093 --> 01:19:49,293 Speaker 3: He was angry at his producer Sam, who had come 1709 01:19:49,333 --> 01:19:51,452 Speaker 3: in to try and fix the printer for Mike. But 1710 01:19:51,532 --> 01:19:53,852 Speaker 3: it had me thinking as I heard Mike yelling at 1711 01:19:53,853 --> 01:19:56,892 Speaker 3: the printer, I thought, go Mike, because I hate printers 1712 01:19:56,893 --> 01:19:57,532 Speaker 3: with a vengeance. 1713 01:19:57,772 --> 01:19:57,972 Speaker 24: Right. 1714 01:19:58,133 --> 01:20:00,812 Speaker 3: They are the worst appliance, not just in the office 1715 01:20:00,893 --> 01:20:03,812 Speaker 3: of all time. I swear Hewlett Packard and Brother they 1716 01:20:03,853 --> 01:20:06,652 Speaker 3: designed these things just to muck around with humanity. 1717 01:20:07,093 --> 01:20:08,932 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking when you were say this before 1718 01:20:09,013 --> 01:20:11,213 Speaker 2: over a coffee, I was thinking, is there any more 1719 01:20:11,253 --> 01:20:14,892 Speaker 2: appliance that's more consistently annoying than a printer? In terms 1720 01:20:14,973 --> 01:20:19,093 Speaker 2: of the ink running out paper, running out the communication. 1721 01:20:19,612 --> 01:20:21,812 Speaker 2: I mean, I've been working at this company z ME 1722 01:20:21,973 --> 01:20:24,732 Speaker 2: for a long time, well over a decade, and I 1723 01:20:24,812 --> 01:20:27,213 Speaker 2: still have no access to any printing here. And when 1724 01:20:27,253 --> 01:20:29,133 Speaker 2: I moved up to ZB, I said, can I get 1725 01:20:29,133 --> 01:20:30,732 Speaker 2: some access? They're still trying to get me access to 1726 01:20:30,812 --> 01:20:34,412 Speaker 2: that printer there that was driving Mike crazy this morning. 1727 01:20:34,933 --> 01:20:37,492 Speaker 2: Printers that I cannot think. I wonder if anyone else 1728 01:20:37,492 --> 01:20:39,333 Speaker 2: out there nineteen nine two eight hundred and eighty ten 1729 01:20:39,412 --> 01:20:43,133 Speaker 2: eighty is there another appliance that is regularly used that 1730 01:20:43,253 --> 01:20:46,772 Speaker 2: is so incredibly annoying. And I actually read this thing 1731 01:20:46,812 --> 01:20:49,492 Speaker 2: that will drive you crazy about printers. So there's a 1732 01:20:49,492 --> 01:20:51,253 Speaker 2: certain brand of printer. I won't say who they are, 1733 01:20:51,293 --> 01:20:53,612 Speaker 2: but this happens a lot across the board where there's 1734 01:20:53,612 --> 01:20:56,572 Speaker 2: two prices of printer. Yep, they've actually got the exact 1735 01:20:56,652 --> 01:21:00,172 Speaker 2: same tech, except for the cheaper one has an additional 1736 01:21:00,293 --> 01:21:03,052 Speaker 2: chip added to it that slows it down, so they're 1737 01:21:03,133 --> 01:21:05,932 Speaker 2: just as good. So you the actual the cheaper printer 1738 01:21:06,692 --> 01:21:09,572 Speaker 2: has actually got more in it because it is designed 1739 01:21:09,652 --> 01:21:11,372 Speaker 2: and they have to add to it to slow it down. 1740 01:21:11,372 --> 01:21:12,612 Speaker 2: So there's two prices of printer. 1741 01:21:12,812 --> 01:21:15,092 Speaker 3: See that is dirty cartel behavior. 1742 01:21:15,133 --> 01:21:18,012 Speaker 2: That's the kind of dirty operation that printers are running. 1743 01:21:18,213 --> 01:21:19,772 Speaker 3: And what is it with the price of ink? Where 1744 01:21:19,772 --> 01:21:22,372 Speaker 3: does this inc come from? Are they hand squeezing octopi 1745 01:21:22,652 --> 01:21:24,692 Speaker 3: in the North Atlantic or something? I don't understand. 1746 01:21:24,812 --> 01:21:28,412 Speaker 2: Well, buddy, it's the same operation. It's the same operation 1747 01:21:28,492 --> 01:21:33,572 Speaker 2: that drug dealers use, big Raiser uses, and the printer's used. 1748 01:21:33,572 --> 01:21:35,452 Speaker 2: They get your hot to the handle and then they 1749 01:21:35,532 --> 01:21:36,692 Speaker 2: charge your heaps for the blades. 1750 01:21:36,772 --> 01:21:38,412 Speaker 3: That's exactly it. I put them up there with this 1751 01:21:38,532 --> 01:21:41,293 Speaker 3: and the lower cartael these ink cartails evil men, the. 1752 01:21:41,253 --> 01:21:44,053 Speaker 2: Same the drug dealers. The first the first hurt is 1753 01:21:44,093 --> 01:21:46,692 Speaker 2: free or cheap, and then it gets a lot to speak, 1754 01:21:47,452 --> 01:21:50,492 Speaker 2: more expensive, so you know, by the printer, and then 1755 01:21:50,572 --> 01:21:52,772 Speaker 2: keep paying with for the ink through the nose forever. 1756 01:21:53,213 --> 01:21:55,692 Speaker 2: So yeah, is there is there a worse Is there 1757 01:21:55,692 --> 01:21:58,972 Speaker 2: a worse suppliance out there than the printer?

It was driving me crazy. 1974 01:32:36,253 --> 01:32:38,133 Speaker 3: The line from that, but it's because don you want 1975 01:32:38,133 --> 01:32:39,973 Speaker 3: to take out everything right when you line for me 1976 01:32:40,213 --> 01:32:41,892 Speaker 3: and there's a rock or something that gets in the way, 1977 01:32:42,013 --> 01:32:43,692 Speaker 3: just run the line from and through it and you're right. 1978 01:32:43,732 --> 01:32:45,213 Speaker 3: Then it takes the cord off and you think, what. 1979 01:32:45,452 --> 01:32:47,293 Speaker 2: Yeh, I was slamming it up against a bit of concrete, 1980 01:32:47,372 --> 01:32:48,372 Speaker 2: so it's probably my fault. 1981 01:32:48,612 --> 01:32:50,172 Speaker 3: Don That's a great one, Jonathan. 1982 01:32:50,213 --> 01:32:52,252 Speaker 18: How are you good? 1983 01:32:52,333 --> 01:32:55,333 Speaker 36: Up to you guys, and good thank you. Yeah, we're 1984 01:32:55,372 --> 01:32:57,412 Speaker 36: going to pay the print of its too. It does 1985 01:32:57,452 --> 01:33:00,052 Speaker 36: an amazing job because when you think about it, prints 1986 01:33:00,053 --> 01:33:02,972 Speaker 36: on the paper, what you see on your monitor black 1987 01:33:03,013 --> 01:33:06,053 Speaker 36: and white or color, and no matter how or mate 1988 01:33:06,133 --> 01:33:09,892 Speaker 36: or complex set is so and it produces that pretty 1989 01:33:09,933 --> 01:33:17,093 Speaker 36: much about, you know, in a replica. So I don't 1990 01:33:17,093 --> 01:33:19,452 Speaker 36: know what's going on in there, but it's obviously got 1991 01:33:19,732 --> 01:33:22,412 Speaker 36: some how it does that, I don't know, but it 1992 01:33:22,452 --> 01:33:25,812 Speaker 36: does it pretty well. But when it does decide to 1993 01:33:25,812 --> 01:33:28,973 Speaker 36: go fair, and it's possibly being mentioned already, it's the 1994 01:33:29,013 --> 01:33:33,093 Speaker 36: paper jam, and then it gives you an indication of 1995 01:33:33,213 --> 01:33:35,452 Speaker 36: where it is, and then you end up pulling out 1996 01:33:35,612 --> 01:33:39,973 Speaker 36: all the trays and then you've got to finger inside 1997 01:33:40,333 --> 01:33:43,092 Speaker 36: and not try and touch the drum because it's hot. 1998 01:33:43,973 --> 01:33:48,213 Speaker 36: And yeah, and I've been I've just walked away from 1999 01:33:48,253 --> 01:33:51,692 Speaker 36: it sometimes and said sorry, I can't help. So, yeah, 2000 01:33:51,692 --> 01:33:54,732 Speaker 36: it's the paper jam and you literally have to pull 2001 01:33:54,772 --> 01:33:56,732 Speaker 36: the whole thing apart try and find it. I still 2002 01:33:56,732 --> 01:34:00,093 Speaker 36: can't find anything. You pull all the trays back and 2003 01:34:00,133 --> 01:34:03,692 Speaker 36: then you haven't going to go and move paper jam 2004 01:34:03,893 --> 01:34:04,253 Speaker 36: play for. 2005 01:34:05,772 --> 01:34:07,732 Speaker 3: And you get the paper out, and then you close 2006 01:34:07,732 --> 01:34:09,412 Speaker 3: it all up and you think, good to go, and 2007 01:34:09,452 --> 01:34:11,173 Speaker 3: it's still saying there's a jam. There's not a jam. 2008 01:34:11,253 --> 01:34:15,333 Speaker 36: I've got the papers actually, and you've you've just built 2009 01:34:15,372 --> 01:34:20,172 Speaker 36: that in into the program just to you know, basically 2010 01:34:20,173 --> 01:34:23,892 Speaker 36: wind you up, brother, and one other those one l if. 2011 01:34:23,893 --> 01:34:26,692 Speaker 36: I've got our little little little chip in there saying, 2012 01:34:27,013 --> 01:34:28,652 Speaker 36: you know, I'll just have a paper dream party. 2013 01:34:30,133 --> 01:34:32,133 Speaker 3: The more I think about it, Jonathan, the more I'm 2014 01:34:32,213 --> 01:34:34,852 Speaker 3: adamant printers are just a social experiment to see how 2015 01:34:34,893 --> 01:34:37,293 Speaker 3: far humans will go before they just absolutely break and 2016 01:34:37,333 --> 01:34:37,852 Speaker 3: go postal. 2017 01:34:38,053 --> 01:34:40,772 Speaker 2: This is an interesting text here. Stapless staples are awesome 2018 01:34:40,973 --> 01:34:43,092 Speaker 2: using the food industry.

The may of my life when I was working 2026 01:35:00,412 --> 01:35:05,333 Speaker 12: in the was the office copier, especially the digitally more 2027 01:35:05,412 --> 01:35:11,732 Speaker 12: modern digital ones with when you could you know, choose 2028 01:35:11,812 --> 01:35:18,732 Speaker 12: different you know, sort paper out, you know, I forget 2029 01:35:18,732 --> 01:35:22,293 Speaker 12: what they call it now, but trying to line up 2030 01:35:22,333 --> 01:35:25,293 Speaker 12: the bits of paper, the especially when you're trying to 2031 01:35:25,293 --> 01:35:29,092 Speaker 12: pay the copy of single page off off a book, 2032 01:35:29,692 --> 01:35:32,333 Speaker 12: you trying to line it up. And then you got 2033 01:35:32,333 --> 01:35:35,932 Speaker 12: to into the office copy of code because they want 2034 01:35:35,933 --> 01:35:40,293 Speaker 12: to keep the shaker who's got the paper. And then 2035 01:35:40,692 --> 01:35:44,652 Speaker 12: much like printers, they paper jams too, and that's fun. 2036 01:35:45,412 --> 01:35:47,932 Speaker 3: And then scanners came along, James, and they weren't much 2037 01:35:47,933 --> 01:35:51,133 Speaker 3: better because they never scanned, you know, the right dimensions. 2038 01:35:51,133 --> 01:35:53,213 Speaker 3: There was always a little bit off center and it 2039 01:35:53,293 --> 01:35:58,372 Speaker 3: looked ugly. I'm with you, yep, James, you're a good man, 2040 01:35:58,412 --> 01:35:59,293 Speaker 3: Thank you very much. 2041 01:35:59,732 --> 01:36:03,452 Speaker 2: The stapleless staple works by punching out tabs that get 2042 01:36:03,572 --> 01:36:09,173 Speaker 2: folded hanging on there's a stapleless The staple staple works 2043 01:36:09,173 --> 01:36:11,532 Speaker 2: by punching out tabs to get folded over and pushed 2044 01:36:11,532 --> 01:36:13,892 Speaker 2: through a tiny slip. The device only works when fastening 2045 01:36:14,013 --> 01:36:16,932 Speaker 2: up to four sheets of paper. Anymore, in the stack 2046 01:36:16,973 --> 01:36:19,173 Speaker 2: of tabs is too thick for the stapler to push 2047 01:36:19,253 --> 01:36:25,093 Speaker 2: through the slip. Wow, a staple of stapler. I see 2048 01:36:25,093 --> 01:36:25,652 Speaker 2: how it works. 2049 01:36:25,853 --> 01:36:28,293 Speaker 3: It's a great tech. Yeah, I could see that being 2050 01:36:28,333 --> 01:36:31,412 Speaker 3: frustrating though. Why well, because if you've got six pages, 2051 01:36:31,452 --> 01:36:32,173 Speaker 3: then you bug it, don't you. 2052 01:36:32,812 --> 01:36:37,612 Speaker 2: Yeah?

Look, before I 2210 01:43:47,013 --> 01:43:49,492 Speaker 2: went in there, you know I knew Coldplayer buts and 2211 01:43:49,692 --> 01:43:51,732 Speaker 2: I knew this songs, but I wasn't like an album listener, 2212 01:43:51,812 --> 01:43:54,052 Speaker 2: go to set snower kind of thing.

But after watching that concert, I'd follow 2216 01:44:02,853 --> 01:44:04,892 Speaker 2: that guy into battle. He's one of the greatest fun 2217 01:44:05,053 --> 01:44:08,172 Speaker 2: men I've ever seen. He's up there with Freddy Mercury 2218 01:44:08,452 --> 01:44:12,692 Speaker 2: and Mick Jagger.

I 2220 01:44:17,093 --> 01:44:19,652 Speaker 2: was thinking about that, and I was also standing there 2221 01:44:19,692 --> 01:44:23,013 Speaker 2: thinking typical of me not to have paid, but I 2222 01:44:23,853 --> 01:44:25,772 Speaker 2: think it would be worse. I don't know how much 2223 01:44:25,772 --> 01:44:27,452 Speaker 2: of the ticket star because I never paid for tickets. 2224 01:44:27,612 --> 01:44:30,213 Speaker 24: I would say worth it would be worth four hundred dollars. 2225 01:44:30,652 --> 01:44:33,772 Speaker 13: Wow, I don't think they were worth four hundred dollars, 2226 01:44:33,933 --> 01:44:36,132 Speaker 13: don't I never pay for tickets. 2227 01:44:36,412 --> 01:44:38,652 Speaker 2: He lives in a different world from US folks, So. 2228 01:44:38,732 --> 01:44:39,692 Speaker 3: A couple of things there. 2229 01:44:39,772 --> 01:44:41,652 Speaker 2: I certainly do.
