1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: First of all, can I start by offering an apology

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: to TV and Z. I gave them a bit of

3
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: grief last night for starting the news bulletin with the peaches.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: But it turns out I was wrong and they were right.

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: This has sparked a flurry of debate over whether we

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: prefer our Watti's peaches from Hawk's Bay, or whether we

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 1: don't really care if it comes from China or not.

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: It's also prompted a statement from what he's asking us

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: to support local growers. In other words, can we please

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: buy New Zealand maid Now that is a very nice sentiment,

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: but let's be honest. That's all it is. It is

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: a sentiment. It's not gonna work. I mean this is

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: This is not me being cavalier about how hard this

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: must be for the Hawks Bay peach growers who are

15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: losing their what He's contracts for them. This must be

16
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: absolutely devastating, and I feel terrible for them. But this

17
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: is me being realistic about the prospect of any buy

18
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: New Zealand made campaign working. What is New Zealand peaches?

19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: According to Pack and Save's online store, are three dollars

20
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: ninety a Can Pam's cheap peaches and ninety nine cents

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: a can. That's a no brainer. You're going to buy

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: the ninety nine cents can. Who is buying the three

23
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: dollars can? Who is buying just a gray linn? Who

24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: is it? That makes no sense whatsoever? I mean, Look,

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: maybe if I thought about it a little bit, which

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't, But if I did, maybe I would pay

27
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: ten twenty cents forty cents in a push more for

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: a New Zealand Maid product. But I would not pay

29
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: four times as much. It's far too expensive. And I

30
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't even do it in the first place, because buy

31
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: New Zealand Maid never works, does it never has. If

32
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: it did, we would still be wearing butter bullets and

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: buying Juliet Hogan and eating Sanitarium peanut butter. We wouldn't

34
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: be reading about the closure of manufacturing businesses every other month,

35
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: which today, by the way, is the car to hold

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: Harvey Mill and talk it all. I do the shopping

37
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: in our house Ninety percent of the time. I don't

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: even know the provenance of the food I'm buying. I

39
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: do not know where the canned food comes from. I

40
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: absolutely do not know where the dried good dried goods

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: come from, and often I'm not even really looking where

42
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: the fresh fruit comes from. Yep, I know where the

43
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: meat comes from. But that's basically a given, isn't it.

44
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: It's simple economics. It always will be. And even if

45
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: What's you Know has this tiny little hope that there

46
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: might be a last minute public rally for the New

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Zealand grown peachers, I think they already know the outcome,

48
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: which is why they've already cut the contract.
