Good morning, Welcome to the program. 6 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 3: It is the tenth of July. My name is Andrew Dickens, 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 3: handled nine and for my news on holiday. Who's back 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 3: on Monday today? When will the fight against inflation at 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: the age of high interest rates be over? Nick Touffley 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 3: and Andrew Kelleher on today's ocr our Smart Roads user 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: charges the answer for funding our woefully underfunded road system. 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 3: Will investigate with the New Zealand Initiative and sale GP 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 3: is back in Auckland. But can all be ready in time? 14 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 3: We're going to talk to Auckham Unlimited passed the course 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 3: the politicians after right, Matt Mitchell and Carneal Zeppeloni, it's 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: all to come here on News Talks heed B zed B. Hey, 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 3: so now we know what happened and what was bent 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 3: on Orcan's light rail that never happened. Apparently two hundred 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: and twenty nine million dollars over six years. Now, that 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 3: is a lot of money for not one meter of track, 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 3: which is a very catchy line. Politicians use it all 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 3: the time. But of course that two hundred and twenty 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: nine million did buy something. There is a whole heap 24 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: of IP and property that it bought. The biggest spend 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 3: was sixty four million on plans and geotech. Now that 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: stuff is still sitting on computers. That stuff is still relevant. 27 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: It needs to be saved because you never know, light 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: rail might still happen. So is that wasted? I would say, 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: with light rail being so common right around the world, 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: it's inconceivable that it won't finally come here one day. 31 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: So eventually that money will not have been wasted. Maybe 32 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: what really killed light rail was labor. They mucked about, 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: They stuck it underground. They let politicians get into the 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: design of it, who of course know nothing about how 35 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 3: to design light rail. They let the costs balloon. They 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: did nothing. Hey, but now we hear that there may 37 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: be trials of a trackless tram in Auckland before the 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: end of the year. It's been developed by China Rail. 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: It operates in Shanghai and Mexico. Perth has done a 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: trial and now at says they're interested. So it's basically 41 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 3: very long articulated buses running on roads, running on tires. 42 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: They can go up hills like the Harbor Bridge. And 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: here's the thing. You don't have to lay tracks. You 44 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: just bang some magnetic nails into the road and the 45 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: trackless tram will follow it. Marvelous and cheap. So it 46 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 3: sounds promising, But if the history of debate on public 47 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: transport is anything to go by, some grinches are going 48 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 3: to come out and go nay, say the whole idea. 49 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: Now my take on that is, if you're going to 50 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: proclaim on public transport, maybe you should be taking it. 51 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: My social media editor at gold In mus twenty two 52 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: she's paid nothing. She has no car, and if she 53 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: did no money to pay for the parking, she is 54 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: forced onto public transport. She hates the public transport, but 55 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 3: she has to use it. She lives seven kilometer from town, 56 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 3: she has to take two buses. She begs for a 57 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: bus lane so the whole thing speeds up. Fifty percent 58 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: of workers in the Auckland CBD are like that. They 59 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: take public transport. They want it to be better, and 60 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 3: if it is better, they get off the road. And 61 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: then you and I who like to drive a car. 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: We'll have more room. 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: News of the world in ninety seconds. 64 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: All right, there's been a day of speeches in the 65 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: United Kingdom Parliament, and first you had the Speaker of 66 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: the infamous, Sir Lindsay Hoyle. He's back with gavel and hands. 67 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 4: I am aware that it is the greatest honor it 68 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 4: can give any of its members. I'm proposed to do 69 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 4: all within my power to preserve and cherish its best traditions. 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: Now Soakia the Prime Minister Stammer is his name, made 71 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: his maiden speech in the House. 72 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 5: We have the opportunity and the responsibility to put an 73 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 5: end to a politics that has too often seen self 74 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 5: serving and self obsessed, and to replace that politics of 75 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 5: performance with the politics of service. 76 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: Meanwhile, poor old Rishie can't stop apologizing. 77 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 6: For those of us in my party. Let me begin 78 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 6: with a message to those who are no longer sitting 79 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 6: behind me. 80 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: I am sorry. 81 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 6: We have lost too many diligent, community spirited representatives whose 82 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 6: wisdom and expertise will be missed in the debates and 83 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 6: discussions ahead. 84 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: No, dear, never mind. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage is still celebrating 85 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: and still throwing shots. 86 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 7: The labor majority is massive, so challenging on legislation is 87 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 7: going to be foremost fruitless. But providing a voice of 88 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 7: opposition and questioning what a government with a huge majority 89 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 7: is doing we can do. 90 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: He's going to be great opposition. 91 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: Now. 92 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: One of the biggest health issues that plagued the Tories 93 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: was the junior doctors. They seem to strike every second day, 94 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: but they won't be getting good news from the labor government. 95 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 6: We were very clear that the headline thirty five percent 96 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 6: play demand is not one that we could afford, and 97 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 6: that has not changed since the general election. 98 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: And meanwhile, out of the UK and to the United States, 99 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: another promise from Biden that he will be running and 100 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: more Democrats have his back. 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 8: I'd certainly support President Biden, but I think we would 102 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 8: be less endangered of a TRUP presidency if we had 103 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 8: a different candidate. 104 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 9: What did you agree in the meeting. 105 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: We'll stay with Papa. 106 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 10: He's made a firm commitment that he's going to run again, 107 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 10: and I think most members feel if he this is 108 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 10: his choice. 109 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, he's going to run again right after a nap. Finally, 110 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: Copenhagen has a plan to bring in more environmentally friendly tourists. 111 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: They have designed a new trial program which begins in 112 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 3: five days. It's called the Coden Pay scheme, and what 113 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: it does is reward tourists who do environmentally friendly activities 114 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: with rewards. What are the rewards, Well, if you write 115 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 3: on public transport or pick up litter or volunteer at 116 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: an urban farm, you can get some free food and 117 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: some cultural experiences. And tourists, mind you, the free food 118 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: is always Veerian and the cultural experiences are recycling museums, 119 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: recycling museums or heating plants. Meanwhile, also the system is 120 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 3: based on truss, so you just have to tell someone 121 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: that you've done these things. Yeah right, yeah, I did 122 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: a lot of lit up picking up today. Where's that 123 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: vegging food? It's thirteen after six, it is ocier day today. 124 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: The rate has not moved for a year. Now, that's 125 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 3: twelve months. I know that never has been saying six 126 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: times in a row, it's a year. It hasn't moved 127 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: at five point five. So we're all desperately waiting to 128 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: see those rates turn a corner. And whenever they do, 129 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: the headlines they say homeowners nervously looking at it. Hallo, 130 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: what about businesses. Hey, businesses are doing it tough. Everyone 131 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: bangs on about the homeowners, but the businesses, they are 132 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: the heart of our economy. So we're going to talk 133 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 3: about when will we turn the corner with two people. 134 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: Nick Toughly from the ASB is here after seven, and 135 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 3: Andrew Killer. 136 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: Is next the Mike hosting breakfast a. 137 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: New talkshire B. It is now six seventeen. Let's go 138 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: to Jami Andrew Keller had good morning. 139 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: To you morning, Andrew. 140 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: Did you get up early? Did you watch the tennis? 141 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: No? 142 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 11: Yes, no, no, no, no, no no, got I get 143 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 11: up early enough? 144 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: Andrew, exactly right, not as early as you. Yes, I know, 145 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: but money never sleeps. And Hey, before we get into 146 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: the OCI and what you might expect from the RB today, 147 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: let's talk about Australian business confidence and consumer confidence. How 148 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: are our neighbors? 149 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 11: Yes, one of the big macro themes that I sort 150 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 11: of keept talking about at the moment is that we're 151 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 11: seeing quite divergent economic outcomes, Andrew in different places, because 152 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 11: it's sort of coming after the COVID nineteen period where 153 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 11: we tended to paint a lot of the world with 154 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 11: the same brush. You know, we had COVID disruptions, you 155 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 11: had similar physical and monetary policy responses. Then you got inflation, 156 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 11: then you got central banks hiking up rates, and that 157 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 11: was sort of being the playbook. But now we're starting 158 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 11: to see differences, and we tend to look quite closely 159 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 11: at how we differ from our trans Tasman colleagues. And 160 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 11: a couple of numbers released yesterday that in one outcome 161 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 11: will like us and another outcome not so. Consumer pessimism 162 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 11: across the TASM sank a little lower, and I think 163 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 11: we can relate to that because consumer confidence very much 164 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 11: in the doldoms here. But a business confidence survey result 165 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 11: rose to its highest level since early twenty twenty three, 166 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 11: and in that respect it's clearly diverging from business sentiment here. 167 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 11: So that was only be Business confidence jumps six points 168 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 11: to plus four in June, and I think we can 169 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 11: relate more to the outcome on business conditions slightly different 170 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 11: from confidence. It filled two points and has been declining 171 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 11: since twenty twenty two. That measure, though across the Tasman 172 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 11: still well well above the GFC levels, although we are 173 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 11: flirting with those GFC levels. Consumer confidence number that was 174 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 11: a Westpac survey dropped one point one percent from June 175 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 11: to eighty two point seven in July. One aspect is 176 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 11: very consistent between Australian here though, that Australian interest rates 177 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 11: and inflation are definitely weighing on the consumer. 178 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,599 Speaker 3: All right, okay, so just get into the rb What 179 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 3: do you reckon? 180 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, so it's harbian z D which to give us 181 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 11: a little more clarity, Andrew, it's an official cash rate reviewed, 182 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 11: so that differs from a monetary policy statement day when 183 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 11: the OCR gets reviewed as well. But the rb NZ 184 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 11: also releases quite a lengthy statement which I should also 185 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 11: add as always a very useful read. So look, we 186 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 11: don't get a detailed explanation. And at the last monetary 187 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 11: policy review their company statement was well, to say the least, 188 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 11: it was brief, it was very concise, and it's entirely 189 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 11: possible we get a similar sized missive at this juncture. Now, 190 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 11: the universal consensus is that the OCO will stay at five. 191 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 9: And a half. 192 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 11: Look, there is the opportunity for the bank to discuss 193 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 11: what they are concerned about right now, in particular the 194 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 11: sort of tricky and sticky, non tradable inflation. Our view 195 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 11: is that they're not in a position yet to deliver 196 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 11: an unapologetically duvish statement, because if they did, the market 197 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 11: would take that and drive down wholesale rates, which would 198 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 11: push down retail rates, which is not what the RB 199 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 11: wants my view, they still need to see the second 200 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 11: quarter CPI number and the third quarter CPI number as well. 201 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 11: They need to see those figures to be convinced that 202 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 11: inflation is moderating in line with their forecast expectation. You 203 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 11: don't get the second quarter CPI until next week, and 204 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 11: you don't get the third quarter CPI until October. Look, 205 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 11: there's absolutely no doubt come to the recent data we've 206 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 11: seen would support a dubvish tilt, but that data has 207 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 11: had a fair chunk of survey and commentary. I think 208 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 11: the Arbian said, we'll want to see cold hard facts 209 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 11: financial markets. Look, we're still expecting a far earlier move 210 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 11: in the OCI, and the bank is currently forecasting. But 211 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 11: if you look at the size of that time gap, 212 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 11: you know, sort of November this year versus August next 213 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 11: year for them, I think you need a reasonable quantum 214 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 11: of data for that time gap to be materially narrowed 215 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 11: so there's no change or in statement, it's. 216 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 3: Been a very long two and a half year battle 217 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: against inituation. What are the numbers like? 218 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 11: Dal Jones is down twenty one points thirty nine three 219 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 11: hundred and twenty four, the S and P five hundred 220 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 11: is up five points five five seven seven. The Nastik 221 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 11: at the moment up twenty two points eighteen thousand to 222 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 11: four hundred and twenty five. Now the four to one 223 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 11: hundred lost fifty four overnight, so two thirds of percent 224 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 11: eight one and three nine. I'd also add that French 225 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 11: markets were quite weak overnight as well. Now the Nike 226 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 11: up eight hundred yesterday good day there four one five 227 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 11: eight oh. The Shanghai composite also at one hundred quarter 228 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 11: percent two nine five nine.

There's 247 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 3: a report out from the New Zealand Initiative which proposes 248 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 3: a new smart road user charges system to replace the 249 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 3: current fuel excise duty. Yes, we all get rucks. Five 250 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 3: year implementation plan. The report says every passing year widens 251 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 3: the gap between revenue collected and investment needed. In other words, 252 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 3: you're not taxed enough, and everything's getting so expensive, and 253 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: we haven't been spending enough on what we already have, 254 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: and so basically the chickens are coming home to roost. 255 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: Simeon Brown has already put rucks on our like vehicle fleet, 256 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: so look, I think they're definitely coming. So prepare for 257 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: a future when an array of devices on your son 258 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: vines are ping merrily away, paying money to the government 259 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 3: as you drive around trying to make a living.

It was just a great movie. 265 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: It of course starred the Mount Albert Grammar school old 266 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 3: boy Russell Crowe made him a global superstar. And now 267 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 3: we're getting Gladiator too. But no, Russell, time has ticked on. 268 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: It is twenty four years later, and here is the sequel. 269 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 2: I remember that day. I never forgot it. 270 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 12: But a slave could take revenge against an emperor. 271 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 2: Where were you born? I don't know, and never knew. 272 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: A mother and our father. The Colosseum, because this is 273 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: what they believe in power. 274 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 7: The arena turned slaves into gladiators, and the gladiators into 275 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 7: three men. 276 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 13: Whose head could I give you that would satisfy this fury? 277 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: The entire Roman armies too much.

So 303 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 3: we'll bring you all that coverage with Richard Arnold in 304 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: just a few moments time. It is twenty two to seven. 305 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 3: There's a long line of cars and they're trying. 306 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: To get through. 307 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 3: So the New Zealand Initiative is proposing we replace fuel 308 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 3: excise duty with a smart Road User Charges system. Now 309 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 3: they say the current fuel tax system is outdated and unfair. 310 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: Under the Smart Road User Charges, vehicles would actually be 311 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: charged for actual road usage, time of day, and vehicle type. 312 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: So it's a little bit more advanced than our current system. 313 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: It will reduce congestion, they believe, and ensure fair and 314 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: distribution of costs. And the reports author Dr Matthew Btchell 315 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: from the New Zealand Initiative joins you now, hello. 316 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 14: Richard, Oh, Matthew, good morning, Andrew. 317 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 3: Don't know where the Richard came from, but there we 318 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 3: have it. Is this, if we're even considering this, is 319 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: this admission that our roads are going to have to 320 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 3: become a more expensive place to do business to drive upon. 321 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 14: No, so under Smartrock road users wouldn't pay more. The 322 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 14: system is designed to be revenue neutral, so it's just 323 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 14: about shipping how we pay, not about increasing costs. 324 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: Okay. So, but some people might pay a bit more 325 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: because they might be not paying as much as they 326 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 3: should now, and some will be paying a bit less. 327 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: So overall cost neutral yep. 328 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 14: Correct. So around the margins, if you're traveling and say 329 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 14: to the city centers at peak times, you may be 330 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 14: paying slightly more. But across the board, it's a revenue 331 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 14: neutral system. 332 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: But if you don't like it, you cannot doubt by 333 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: just not driving on the roads. 334 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly. I mean that's one of the benefits of 335 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 14: having a pricing system for our transport network. You have 336 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 14: choices that it gives you flexibility, so you can make 337 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 14: those decisions about whether you want to take public transport, 338 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 14: shift the time of travel, those sorts of things, so 339 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 14: it gives that flexibility. 340 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: Okay. So when I was talking about this half an 341 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: hour ago, I was saying, you know, look forward to Sundlizer, 342 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: where you've got a whole lot of devices that are 343 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 3: picking away doing your road user charges, do your congestion charges, 344 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 3: doing everything. Can you explain how your model would actually 345 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: work and what it would look like on our cars? 346 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 14: Yeah? Sure, So road users would have two payment options, 347 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 14: an automated pay as your drive system using an in 348 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 14: vehicle device, or pre purchase distance licenses like we already 349 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 14: use for our ruck. So it gives you flexibility for 350 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 14: those who who want the technology option that's there. But 351 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 14: also I feel more comfortable with a pre purchase distance 352 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 14: license like we already used for You can go for 353 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 14: that as well. 354 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: Okay, so there won't be an electronic thing picking us then. 355 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 14: No, no, So you have the option to have an 356 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 14: electronic recorder in your car, but you also have the 357 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 14: option to go for the more manual choice. 358 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: But you need the electronic one if you're going to 359 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 3: do the congestion charges at the same time, wouldn't you. 360 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 14: Well you can actually go also for number plate technology, 361 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 14: so there are choices there. 362 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: Fascinating Is this being done overseas. 363 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 14: So congestion charging, yes, and also tolling. And in the 364 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 14: report I canvas a vast array of international examples. So 365 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 14: I look at Stockholm, I look at Singapore, I look 366 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 14: at the United States, I look at Japan. This would 367 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 14: be a world first though in terms of scaling that 368 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 14: up to a universal road pricing system, and I think 369 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 14: New Zealand is really well positioned to do this. We 370 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 14: already have a road user charge system. It's just about 371 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 14: making the next step because you know, let's be honest, 372 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 14: the current setup isn't doing us any good. 373 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: How long will it take to roll this out? 374 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 14: So I've outlined a five year implementation phase. I think 375 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 14: it's really important not to go for just a big bang, 376 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 14: sudden switch overnight, so you progressively phase out fuel tax 377 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 14: with road user charges. 378 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: Getting text all over the place, mate, he says, how 379 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: many millions will it cost you change from fuel excise 380 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 3: to rucks? 381 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 14: Look, that's something for the Ministry of Transport to work out. 382 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 14: What I would say in response to that is our 383 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 14: current system is incredibly inefficient. 384 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 3: Okay, here's another one. Is there a trade discount? 385 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 15: Mate? 386 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 14: I haven't factored that into the smartreck proposal as of yet. 387 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 14: I think as an important principle, you don't really want 388 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 14: to be carving out too many exemptions. So if we 389 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 14: look at London, then it's congestion charge. One of the 390 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 14: main problems that it's had is about fifty percent of 391 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 14: road users have an exemption. The point that I just 392 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 14: want to reiterate is this is not about putting huge 393 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 14: costs on drivers. You know, even just a dollar to 394 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 14: say a congestion charge can change travel patterns around the 395 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 14: margins and it allows people to get from A to 396 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 14: B more efficiently. 397 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 3: And I got one more from the audience. What a 398 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 3: magnificent audience they are too. How will this work? How 399 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: will this work for farmers? For instance, they're driving down 400 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 3: the back of the farm and then the next day 401 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 3: they're on the road to the shops. But will they 402 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 3: end up being charged for the back of the farm 403 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 3: driving when by the racks. 404 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 14: No, the farmers excluded from smart road user charges. 405 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 3: Well, hold on one moment you're saying exemptions are bad, 406 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: next moment you're exempting. 407 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 14: Well, yeah, if they're driving around the paddock, you know, 408 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 14: no problem without it. For they're using public roads and 409 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 14: that's a different matter. 410 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 3: Doctor Matthew Burchill, thank you so much for doing some 411 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 3: thinking on us. And what do you think about this? 412 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 16: He's saying that it's less his system's less complicated. Did 413 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 16: it sound Do you know what doesn't sound that complicated 414 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 16: is the text that we used to play pay here 415 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 16: in Auckland that they took off us. 416 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: You fill up the gas and then you pay for 417 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: the roads. 418 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 16: And I'm wondering if we went the wrong way, if 419 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 16: this kick ass fast track government just was a little 420 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 16: bit hasty with that, and perhaps they should have just 421 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 16: extended that to the rest of the country. 422 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 9: Maybe I don't know. 423 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 3: Some textas asked me before, it's the New Zealand Initiative, 424 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: right wing and now of course the texts are saying 425 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: this is communism at its best. What a croc And 426 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: of course somebody said, I've got to read this text, 427 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 3: I've got to find it again to well tell him 428 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: I'm dreaming. And then somebody says, oh, does he work 429 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: for the wef or the devil? What do you think 430 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 3: of the idea? Think about it? Rationally? Sixteen to seven newstalksb. 431 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 2: The mic costing breakfast. 432 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 3: And while we're on the topic of cars and petrol 433 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 3: and all that sort of thing, the cling car and 434 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 3: porter standard was going to be a lowered to align 435 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 3: with Australia's emission standards plan. Some people don't like it 436 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 3: because it means we might get some slightly dirtier cars 437 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 3: being imported, but we might get some cheaper cars. So 438 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 3: what's the plan, Greg Epps? Or Epps should I say? 439 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 3: Greg Epps, who's from the important Motor Vehicle Industry Association 440 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 3: is joining us. Next hour is now thirteen minutes to seven. 441 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ins and Eye Insurance Peace of Mind 442 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 443 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: Richard Arnold from the United States of America. Good morning 444 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 3: to you, sir. 445 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: What are you Andrew? 446 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: So the House is back and there's lots of closed 447 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 3: door meetings for the Democrats. Gee, what are they talking about? 448 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 13: Well, it's a house divided as they talk about what 449 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 13: Joe Biden should be doing in terms of running for 450 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 13: the presidency. Again, they met for two hours on the 451 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 13: House side. When they came out of that session, Democrats 452 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 13: Steve Cohen was asked if there is part of unity 453 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 13: on Biden's apparent bid to stay in the race. 454 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: What do you mean, You're not on the same page. 455 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 13: Not even the same book. Senate Democrats are holding a 456 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 13: similar session. To this point, President Biden is showing increasing 457 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 13: insistence that he will remain as the presumptive nominee, and 458 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 13: he has challenged any rivals. 459 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 17: I'm getting so frustrated, but by the lead. If any 460 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 17: of these guys, I don't think I should run against me. 461 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 13: So many of the Democrats emerging from the House session 462 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 13: are describing a feeling of deep sadness in their ranks, 463 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 13: says Sean Easton. 464 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 10: Great sadness that we are not having a conversation about 465 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 10: the fact that we have two people learning for president. 466 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 10: One of them has a record that anybody would be 467 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 10: proud to have, and the other one is an adjudicated 468 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 10: rapist or twice in beached convicted fellony. 469 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 13: Well, they're not voicing a lot of enthusiasm, says congress 470 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 13: Member Richie Torres. 471 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 6: If the president declines to leave voluntarily, then he's going. 472 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 18: To be our nominee, and we. 473 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 9: Have to make the best of a complicated situation. 474 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 13: And Democrat Diana Presley. 475 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 14: There are. 476 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 11: Changes that people need to see to continue to. 477 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 13: Feel comfortable again. Not rousing support is that two groups 478 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 13: are giving stronger backing to Biden, the Hispanic Caucus Andy 479 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 13: Bike Hookers, whose member Greg Meeks says. 480 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 19: I just met with the Prime Minister New Zigeland and Australia, 481 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 19: so the whole democratic world, those of us who. 482 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: Share the same values. Joe Biden has led that and 483 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 2: brought us. 484 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 13: Together now that Chris Lackson is getting into American politics, 485 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 13: bind you, he said non Zi by that his aim 486 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 13: is to work with whoever winds up in the White House. 487 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 13: But this is another crunch day for Biden, who has 488 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 13: a lot on his plate this day and is well. 489 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 13: He is facing a full agenda here with a news 490 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 13: conference on Friday, his first in eight months, and. 491 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 3: He's got the seventy fifth anniversary of NATO to get through. 492 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 3: That's right. 493 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 13: World leaders will be making their own assessment of Biden's 494 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 13: strengths as he starts hosting this event in Washington. Biden 495 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 13: has become the strongest support of NATO since Bush Senior, 496 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 13: but the shadow of his dismal debate performances hanging over 497 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 13: this meeting as well. So the NATO events are likely 498 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 13: to delay a lot of open politicking here, and the 499 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 13: NATO gathering also will focus lightly on Ukraine. Biden condemning 500 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 13: today's Russian attack on that children's hospital k which he 501 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 13: calls a quote horrific reminder of Russia's brutality. The Russians 502 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 13: are claiming without evidence that it was a Western supplied 503 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 13: missile that went a Ryan hit the place are Ukraine's 504 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 13: president Zelenski will deliver a major speech in Washington on 505 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 13: the sidelines of the summit. Zelenski says thirty eight people 506 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 13: are killed in today's daylight Russian rocket attack, with four 507 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 13: children among the dead. The NATO summit is occurring not 508 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 13: only with Biden Democrats in disarray, but amid NATO concerns 509 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 13: about it possible Trump returns. Since Trump has shown little 510 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 13: interest in Ukraine or NATO, that is very much in 511 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 13: the mind of world readers as Ukraine seeks assurance of 512 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 13: continuing backing, even as US analytes are saying now Russia 513 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 13: is unlikely to take much more Ukrainian territory. This shocking 514 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 13: war has devastated parts of Ukraine, as we know, with 515 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 13: more Ukrainians killed and all the Allies who died in 516 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 13: either Vietnam or Afghanistan, and with Russian casualties now estimated 517 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 13: at around one hundred and twenty thousand killed and perhaps 518 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 13: one hundred and eighty thousand more wounded. Richard Arnold for 519 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 13: the Better Say of America I think you for your 520 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 13: timement is now nine minutes to seven. The text number 521 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 13: is ninety two to ninety two or small charge does apply. 522 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 13: Thank you so much for your feedback. 523 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 3: On the road user charges for farm vehicles, Mark says, 524 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 3: we have four diesel farm vehicles. We claim back all 525 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 3: right costs. The kilometer's done off roads. It is a 526 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 3: slow process, but we do it. Problem with at tax 527 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: on diesel is that our tractors and most farm vehicles 528 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 3: are not on the roads, so why should they pay 529 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 3: a tax on diesel four roads? It is yeah, nine 530 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 3: to seven, still to come the biz on News talks 531 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: at B. 532 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: On the Mike, Costing Breakfast with Alveda Retirement Communities News. 533 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: Talks v it is six to seven. The Reserve Bank 534 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 3: is going to review the official cash rates today economists 535 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: agree cutters unlikely. Today they remain divided when the rate 536 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 3: might finally drop. The ocr has remained marooned on five 537 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 3: point five percent now for a year. Our high inflation 538 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 3: environment has been around for two and a half years. 539 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 3: Two and a half years. People talk about the perfect 540 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: storm of overstimulated demand, global production and logistics disrupt an 541 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 3: acute labor shortages and weak productivity and then this is 542 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 3: a profligate spending of the previous regime. So the problem 543 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 3: is why is inflation proving so sticky and that stickiness 544 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 3: is stretching businesses very thin. And I'm saying this all 545 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: the time. But survived till twenty five is our new 546 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: national model. So when will we get some relief because 547 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 3: we've done some very hard yards Nick toughly from the 548 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: ASB is with us right after the news, all. 549 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: The inns, all the outs, it's the fizz on the 550 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: Mike Husking breakfast on news Talk ZEB. 551 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 3: So after years at the top, Dyson is feeling the heat. 552 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 3: They've announced that more than a thousand jobs in the 553 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: UK are likely to go as part of a global restructure. 554 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 3: That's about twenty nine percent of their entire UK workforce. 555 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 3: They're doing it because they're getting fierce competition in global markets. 556 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: Well remember they moved to Singapore and twenty nineteen and 557 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: this was rumored to happen. It's still a big blow, though, 558 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 3: big blow as Sir James Dyson has seen as one 559 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 3: of the biggest British business players that the country can 560 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 3: lean on. It's worrying for the new government because it 561 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 3: continues the trend of companies and billionaires and millionaires leaving 562 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 3: the country. So James have been against the UK's economic 563 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 3: policies for a while now, so the question is will 564 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 3: they come back in The corporation tax last year increase 565 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 3: from nineteen to twenty five percent. Dyson itself, despite some 566 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 3: failed projects in recent years, is still very profitable. They 567 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 3: made enough that they were able to increase their research 568 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 3: and development spending by forty percent last year. But they 569 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 3: had a few expensive fails as well. They spent two 570 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 3: billion dollars trying to build an electric car in Hullivington. 571 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 3: They dropped that project when they realized it was too difficult. 572 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 3: If Dice is really in trouble, we just have to 573 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 3: get Mic back on the show and buy more vacuum cleaners, 574 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 3: do we not? Simple? Just like that, It's coming up 575 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: three minutes to seven. Nick Touughley from the ASB is 576 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 3: going to be joining us shortly on the os OCR 577 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 3: and Greg IPPs is going to join us as well 578 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: because now we can import slightly dirtier cars which could 579 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 3: make them slightly cheaper or will they be? And also 580 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 3: you can remotely inspect a house if you want Is 581 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 3: this a good idea? Will we be doing this? Yes? 582 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 3: We are more on that next day I hear on 583 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 3: news talks here. 584 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 20: Book didn't it half my fault? 585 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 3: But I just start to play the victim. 586 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 20: A drink our good hold till my friends come home 587 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 20: to Christmas and our prev snate of some thirdy may 588 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 20: not have did loose now your tire track in one. 589 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: Their shoe set up. 590 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 20: Don't have to have. 591 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: To setting the news agenda and digging into the issues. 592 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on the Mike Hosking Breakfast with Jaguar the 593 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: Art of Performance. 594 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 3: News talk said, b goodbrying to you. July the tenth 595 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 3: the OCR is announced today. Most economists agree it's likely 596 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 3: to hold. It's sitting at five point five percent. They 597 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 3: do remain divided though, about when they'll see a drop. 598 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 3: And that's what we want. Chief economist at the ASB 599 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 3: Bank is Nick Tuffy. Joins me. Now, Helen, Nick, good, 600 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 3: mind that OCR rate now has been stuck there for 601 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 3: a year. The fight against inflation has been going on 602 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 3: for two and a half years. This is becoming a 603 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 3: prolonged period of hardship. How long can it last? How 604 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 3: long do you think businesses can bear the headwinds. 605 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 2: Love. 606 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 17: I think people just need to hang in a little 607 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 17: bit longer. We do think there are some encouraging signs 608 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 17: that inflation will fall and be back within the target band, 609 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 17: you know, fairly soon and give the Reserve Bank the 610 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 17: comfort that the job is done. 611 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: Markets have been saying that they are expecting an easy 612 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 3: that there are green shoots, but at the same time 613 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 3: also saying they don't expect any change to that rate. 614 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 17: Well, that's that's right. At this meeting. We don't think 615 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 17: the Reserve Bank's going to be changing the ocr at all. 616 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 17: We expect the Reserve Bank's still going to be fairly 617 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 17: cautious as it's looking ahead, and what we're looking for 618 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 17: today is some signs that it's just starting to see 619 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 17: that inflation will come down a bit quicker than what 620 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 17: it's expecting. The challenge for a reserve bank, though, is 621 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 17: that the official inflation figures for the Dune quarter area 622 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 17: to be up till next week, which is not very 623 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 17: helpful when you're making your decision right now. 624 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 3: The other problem we have actually is the crystal ball 625 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 3: gazing and that we're not getting any analysis from the 626 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 3: Reserve Bank here we're just getting rate announcement. 627 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 17: Right, Well, this is correct. This is one of the 628 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 17: short announcements. The Reserve Bank does what we call a 629 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 17: monetary policy statement four times a year and that's quite 630 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 17: Fulsome has lots of detailed forecasts and this is just 631 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 17: a review. It's in between a couple of the monetary 632 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 17: policy statements, so we don't have a lot to go on. 633 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 17: It'll be a few paragraphs and then the details of 634 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 17: what they discussed at the meeting. 635 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 3: All right, So I'm just a tempering people's expectations. Should 636 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: we be surprised at how high inflation has remained for 637 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 3: so long? 638 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 17: We've had such when you look back at it with retrospects, 639 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 17: such an unusual period. It was the perfect storm for 640 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 17: inflation pressures. Just about any source you could have got 641 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 17: inflation from, you got it at the same time. And 642 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 17: look at has been persistent. It's probably been the surprise, 643 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 17: not just here but around the world as well. So 644 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 17: we're not alone, although we are. Inflation presus have probably 645 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 17: been a touch more persistent than other countries. 646 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 3: Now toughly, I thank you for your time today, and 647 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 3: Nick is the asb's chief economists and we will bring 648 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 3: you all the coverage of the OCIA announcement as they 649 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: come to hand. It is now ten minutes after seven 650 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 3: zi be So the clean Car Importer standard is going 651 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: to be lowered. It's going to come into line with 652 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 3: Australia's a Mission Standards plan, effectively creating one large car market. 653 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 3: I guess that gives you sort of, you know, an advantage. 654 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 3: DC two targets will be softened, meaning we can then 655 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 3: bring in slightly dirty your cars. Then, before clean car 656 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 3: advocates worried that New Zealand will become a dumping ground 657 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 3: for less efficient vehicles that can't go elsewhere, I've got 658 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 3: the chief executive of the Vehicle Import Association with me, 659 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: Greg Ebbs. 660 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 12: Hello, Greg, Morning Andrew. How's it going good? 661 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 3: Will this make cars cheaper? 662 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 12: It will slow them down from getting more expensive. They're 663 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 12: not really going to get cheaper. And to your point 664 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 12: of bringing in dirtier cars, we're still advancing the carbon 665 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 12: targets down, so we will still be bringing in cleaner cars. 666 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 12: We're just bringing them in a little bit slower than 667 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 12: we were going to. 668 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,239 Speaker 3: Okay, well that was my next question. Will it make 669 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 3: it dirty? 670 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 12: But you don't believe so no, I mean we have 671 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 12: been progressing both ourselves. So I represent the used vehicle 672 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 12: important side of things, and then there's also the new 673 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 12: car side, and we've both been working towards these lower 674 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,239 Speaker 12: targets and trying to achieve bring in cleaner cars. So 675 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 12: this has been happening. It's just that as you make 676 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 12: these targets harder and harder, the scope of the types 677 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 12: of vehicles that we can bring in, the range, the 678 00:33:54,680 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 12: quality in terms of condition, that starts to get bit 679 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 12: harder if we're going to keep them affordable. And so 680 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 12: what this has done is it's meant that we will 681 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 12: be able to still keep bringing in a good range 682 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 12: of vehicles at a good quality at a price that's 683 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 12: affordable for Kiwis. 684 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 3: Does it mean the will end out importing more ICEE vehicles, 685 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 3: more gas vehicles for longer rather than making some switch 686 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 3: to hybrids or electric Well, I think. 687 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 12: In the used car space, used import space, we're going 688 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 12: to see more hybrids coming through because hybrids are the 689 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 12: vehicles that are dominant in Japan. At the moment, we 690 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 12: get ninety five percent of our used vehicle imports coming 691 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 12: from Japan. So as Japan goes, so do we in 692 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 12: the used sector. The new car guys, they're all working 693 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 12: on their product lines. They're bringing out evs and hybrids 694 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 12: over the next five years or so. I don't think 695 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 12: there's anything that New Zealand could be doing that will 696 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 12: speed up the manufacturer of evs anywhere else in the world. 697 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 12: We take what is available and these settings are just 698 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 12: helping us make sure that we can make a sustainable 699 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 12: transition through to those eds. 700 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 3: And how we seeing demands for used cars really at 701 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 3: the moment? And I say this as a man who 702 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 3: owns a twenty nineteen Many that I'm trying to sell 703 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: that nobody wants to buy this thing. If you want 704 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 3: to buy my twenty nineteen Many, feel free to contact 705 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 3: me here at these storks. But is there a demand 706 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 3: for these used cars at the moment or are we 707 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 3: in a hole like a lot of the rest of 708 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 3: the economy. 709 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 12: Things have slowed down. Things have certainly slowed down. You know, 710 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 12: the new car sector has been seeing numbers drop our 711 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 12: used vehicles, the numbers have dropped from last year. I 712 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 12: think that's a product of just the very tight economy 713 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 12: at the moment. Your previous guests talking about the monetary 714 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,359 Speaker 12: policy statements and the interest rates. Look, we're just all 715 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 12: trying to survive through until the end of this year. 716 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 12: I think when we're expecting interest rates to loosen up 717 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 12: a bit, and as they loosen up, it means that 718 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 12: people may feel a little bit more comfortable with going 719 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 12: out and getting that replacement vehicle rather than holding on 720 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 12: to the one they've got at the moment. 721 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,479 Speaker 3: And you'll have more for them because of these rules. 722 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 3: And I thank you so much for your time and 723 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 3: your expertise. Greg Epps, who is the chief executive of 724 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 3: the important Boat of Vehicle Industry Association. Right SOALGP is 725 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 3: coming to Auckland, that's been announced. The question is where 726 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: are they going to sail on the White to Matta Harbor. 727 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 3: Because the reason they didn't go to Auckland in the 728 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 3: first place was that Winyard Wharf, which is the Silo park, 729 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 3: which used to have all of the oil tankers. There 730 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 3: was filthy ground. It hadn't be mitigated. And the council 731 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 3: said to Russell, I'm sorry, you're not putting food on 732 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 3: that ground. It's dirty. You're not putting people on that ground. 733 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 3: It's dirty. And Russell of course said why not. You 734 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 3: got shoes on. But anyway, so that's why it didn't happen. 735 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 3: My question is, obviously, has it been remediated? Do we 736 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 3: have a venue that offers the deep water right off 737 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 3: the coast. That's how gp needs will ask you. 738 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 9: It's not much of an adrenaline zone if you can't 739 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 9: see the boat. 740 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 3: That's right, They've got to be close. You need deep 741 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 3: water close to the coast. Have we got this? Nick 742 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 3: Hill from Auckland Unlimited is my very special guest. Just 743 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 3: after the seventh thirty news, the hosting racist will be 744 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 3: it is seven to seventeen. My producers has handed me 745 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 3: a press release. Property prices to climb further in June, 746 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 3: it's added trade me listings taking longer to sell. I've 747 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,919 Speaker 3: had enough to pressing news already. I'll read that later 748 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 3: if you don't mind. Meanwhile, in euro the semifinal France 749 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 3: versus Spain has kicked off. What are we eight minutes 750 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 3: in so far? Eight nine minutes in? Guess what? No 751 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 3: more than that? Guess what? In the eighth minute France scored. 752 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 3: I wasn't picking that because Spain's the favorite as far 753 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 3: as I'm concerned. They've been playing beautiful football and the 754 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 3: eighth minute. France is now one nil up England versus 755 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 3: the Netherlands tomorrow seven eighteen. So as part of its 756 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 3: housing pushity government plan to make councils do building inspections 757 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 3: remotely has come about. Chris Pink says the building protest 758 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,320 Speaker 3: it takes too long and this will make it easier 759 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 3: and cheaper, and so will it. We've got the director 760 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 3: of construction at David Reidholmes Cantery, Carl four days with 761 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 3: me on the program. Good morning to your Carl, Morning injury. 762 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 9: How are you very good. 763 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 3: Remote building inspections? Are they efficient? 764 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 12: Yeah? 765 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 15: Well, remote building inspections have been tested boards in the 766 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 15: COVID times that was tested on site with certain inspections 767 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 15: and it did save time and that I think the 768 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 15: good thing is that we are looking at speeding up 769 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 15: the building process. 770 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 2: For us. 771 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 15: It's a look at the consenting process and resource management 772 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 15: would be where we can really save some time and costs. 773 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. I mean we've had enough leaky homes, We've 774 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 3: had enough leaky apartment buildings to go well, you know 775 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 3: on the plans these look good. It was actually doing 776 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 3: the inspection that it did not find the flaws at 777 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 3: my be in that building, you know, So can we 778 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 3: keep up our standards if the inspections are done remotely, 779 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 3: because it's fair to say we're not giving up the 780 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 3: standards at the moment. 781 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 15: Yeah, I'd say every process has its pros and cons. 782 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 15: The inspections remotely would take a lot of time to 783 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 15: go through and the inspector would be required to know 784 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 15: exactly what he's looking at for that inspection process. Another 785 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 15: way that's been done throughout the UK and Europe is 786 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 15: they actually accredit the builders or the engineers designers, and 787 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 15: they are accredited to the local council being able to 788 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 15: sign off on their own work. 789 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 3: And that's to find the cowboys and the dodgers exactly exactly. 790 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 15: It soon sits them out, and you know, the ones 791 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 15: that continually try to cut corners, they don't be around 792 00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 15: for too long. 793 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,719 Speaker 3: So you would insist Chris Pin that really he needs 794 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 3: to include that in the legislation when it's drafted up 795 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 3: and when all the rules and regulations are presented. 796 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it'd be good if Chris came and 797 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,919 Speaker 15: met US residential and commercial builders and actually went through 798 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 15: the processes. Is you know your master build federations, et cetera. 799 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 15: There's a lot of knowledge in these federations that people 800 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 15: could really contribute to the whole system where it works 801 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 15: for everybody in residential and commercial good stuff. 802 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 3: Carl Fordyce, I thank you for your time.

At seven twenty one. Now that released 806 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 3: property prices decline in June, listings are taking longer to sell. 807 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 3: This is according to trade Meet. Property prices dropped one 808 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 3: point nine percent to eight hundred and forty one grand. 809 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 3: This is a low so far for twenty twenty four. 810 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 3: According to trade me, even with the easing of loan 811 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 3: to value ratios and brightline testing where yet to see 812 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 3: a significant impact on the market. I can tell you 813 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 3: that the loan to value changes are really actually exciting 814 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 3: those people selling apartments, but we'll wait to see if 815 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 3: that happens.

Labour's driving that conversation, 838 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 3: no kidding. At the end of this year they've got 839 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 3: their conference and Labour will be floating their new ideas 840 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 3: for an agenda to regain the Treasury benches and after 841 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 3: the failure of the policy bonfire known as Chippy taxes 842 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 3: back and Barbara Edmonds, who is the new Finance spokesperson, 843 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 3: has already signaled that a healthy debate on a capital 844 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 3: gains tax will be on the table. But now they're 845 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,399 Speaker 3: looking at another one. It's called inheritance tax because many 846 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 3: OECD countries have always had it, and islands just introduced it, 847 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 3: so it's an idea doujour. Firstly, why they wanted to 848 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 3: taxis taxes in the first place. The left's response is 849 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 3: to prevent the rich from getting richer, which is terrible bias. 850 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 3: The richer rich because they worked hard and if their 851 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 3: heirs inherited, it's their right. And then if their heirs 852 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 3: maintain that capital, they grow it. Again, it's due to 853 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 3: work and we all benefit, so that's not punished the workers, 854 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 3: even if they are rich. 855 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 8: Eh. 856 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,879 Speaker 3: Economists though, argue that we need more capital to buy 857 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 3: more infrastructure, nurses, doctors, teachers and cops. So what are 858 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 3: what's then the Irish inheritance tax. Well, the first half 859 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 3: a million is exempt and so as a family home, 860 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 3: but after that you have to pay a third to 861 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 3: the state. Trusts are not exempt. It's supporters say it's fair, 862 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 3: but then again, a couple of weeks ago, the Irish 863 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,439 Speaker 3: Coalition just proposed the first cut to the inheritance tax 864 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 3: for five years because his election coming up, because you know, 865 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 3: it's not popular. The big hurdle for the tax is 866 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 3: when you suddenly find a wad of cash, or granddad 867 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 3: suddenly croaks and leaves you his rolls, royce or farm 868 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 3: or whatever. Then you have to sell your inheritance to 869 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,360 Speaker 3: find the cash to pay the state, which destroys the 870 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 3: inheritance and the emotion connected to it. And then, in 871 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 3: a cruel irony, some richer guy buys your inheritance off 872 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 3: you and he it's richer. So much is based on valuations, 873 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,399 Speaker 3: So much as abstract, and so much ignores the fact 874 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 3: that inheritances is actually trickled down, The money comes from 875 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 3: one generation to another. How many of us owe our 876 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 3: house to the windfall that came from the hard work 877 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,280 Speaker 3: of a previous generation, So good luck labor. And here's atruism. 878 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 3: The real problem with introducing these taxes is the transition generation, 879 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 3: the generation who suddenly loses the benefits that previous generations 880 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 3: had and they get angry and then they don't vote 881 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 3: for you. Where are we going to do the sale? Gpa. 882 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,560 Speaker 3: Nick Hill from at is joining us right after the News, 883 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:41,919 Speaker 3: which is next here on News Talks.

This comes after the christ 902 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 3: Church debacle and the withdrawal this year, but sale GP 903 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 3: is remaining in New Zealand and that's the good news. 904 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,479 Speaker 3: But the big question is obviously how will Auckland cope. 905 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 3: So the CEO of Auckland Unlimited, Nick Hill, joins. 906 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 18: Me, good on it to you, Nick, morning, Andrew Congradua 907 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 18: went really well. 908 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 3: Congratulations. 909 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 18: I look, I'm really excited. 910 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:05,200 Speaker 2: I think. 911 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 18: It's the right event for Auckland, and this time round 912 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 18: I think there's been a chance to get a lot 913 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 18: of things signed out, so it'll be fantastic. 914 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 3: I just noticed in all the all the releases that 915 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 3: I have that there's no mention of the actual specific 916 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 3: venue where we you'd be doing the racing. So where's 917 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 3: the racing going to happen? 918 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 18: It'll happen off when you're points just under the bridge 919 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 18: where sales GP always wanted it to happen. It's a 920 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,959 Speaker 18: fantastic concept with a grandstand right next to the water 921 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 18: and with spectators really close like an F one. So 922 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 18: I think that's what they want to do. But it's 923 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 18: really over to them to explain the details of how 924 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 18: they work. 925 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 3: Okay, But of course the problem was that used to 926 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,439 Speaker 3: be tank farm land, that used to be oil land, 927 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 3: that used to be poisoned land, and last year it 928 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 3: wasn't remediated, so they went to Littleton, So where's the 929 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 3: land safe safe? 930 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 18: Yeah, there are legal issues as well as dealing with 931 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 18: the remediation. All of that has been sorted, so we're 932 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 18: quite happy and confident that the event can proceed. 933 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 3: Did it get sorted because you know, you thought about 934 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 3: it more or is it just a process of time 935 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,959 Speaker 3: because of the remediation, et cetera, et cetera. 936 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 18: And look at the process of time. Remember these things 937 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,920 Speaker 18: were there for decades and you were looking to put 938 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 18: SALEGP in the middle of a process of shifting them 939 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 18: away and all of the legal, commercial environmental issues associated 940 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 18: with that, and you can't just stop those processes for 941 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 18: sale GP. But that's all been worked through and where 942 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,360 Speaker 18: are we are? So we're very excited. 943 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course you right now. Of course, Russell Crowe 944 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 3: he's tricky. It's fair to say he's a tricky negotiator. 945 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 3: He's a tough negotiator. What we I want to know 946 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 3: is have you managed to get a long term contract 947 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 3: out of the man or are you there on apro? 948 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 18: No, we wouldn't be here if we hadn't signed an 949 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 18: agreement with them. 950 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 3: Yes, I know you've got an agreement, but is it 951 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 3: for more than one tournament? 952 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 18: Is it for one for one? One of this point? 953 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 3: So aren't you therefore there on apro? And if you 954 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 3: screw this one up, you might they might not come back. 955 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 3: What's the chances of a long term contract? Was the question? 956 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,879 Speaker 18: Well, the same for them. I mean it could cost 957 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,040 Speaker 18: both ways, and the center for both parties is to 958 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,160 Speaker 18: make this really successful. 959 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 3: How could how could sell GP? How could you say 960 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 3: go away sal GP? What could they do wrong to 961 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 3: make them go? 962 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 2: Await? 963 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 3: They're boats and there's no mammals. 964 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 18: Well that's true, I would. I would. If it all works, 965 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 18: then that's fantastic. We would have them back. And I 966 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 18: you know no doubt that they would look at the 967 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 18: benefits of bringing the event to Auckland and how successful 968 00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 18: did it. 969 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 3: They want to come to a good and Auckland wants 970 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 3: then we all want them. It's going to be a 971 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 3: great event. It's going to be a great event. What 972 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,719 Speaker 3: are you going to do around the event to really 973 00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,680 Speaker 3: maximize the tourist revenue for the city and for all 974 00:48:58,680 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 3: the retailers. 975 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 18: Yeah, look, I'm glad you said that. I mean it's 976 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 18: worth probably more than five million and GDP and ten 977 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 18: thousand visited nights. But what we have been developing it 978 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 18: started this year last year, so i'd say is our 979 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 18: Mawana Festival, which is all focused on the harbor. It's 980 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 18: bringing together a lot of water based, harbor based events, 981 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 18: from business events to boat events, to industry boat shows 982 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 18: and so on. So this will be the start of 983 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 18: Mauana Festival. It follows on from the tennis. So the 984 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 18: tennis will have been the first couple of weeks of 985 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,719 Speaker 18: the new year and then we'll go into this. So 986 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 18: I think someone is going to be fantastic this year. 987 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 3: Very good. Are you talking to cruise companies as well 988 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:41,839 Speaker 3: just to maximize a number of people who might come 989 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 3: on a boat to see your boat? 990 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 18: Well, we always talk to the cruise companies, but their 991 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 18: schedules are set years and years in advance, so you 992 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 18: can't really sort of just tweak things in the short 993 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 18: run for that. But certainly we'll be keen to have 994 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 18: as many people out about enjoying the event and enjoying 995 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 18: the waterfront in Auckland and having a right time and 996 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 18: spending lots of money in those shops. 997 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 3: Good Nick, really looking forward to it. Good don you. 998 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:16,040 Speaker 3: Congratulations Nick, He'll CEO of Orkandarn Limited. Russell Coots is 999 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 3: bringing back the sale GP. Thank you to the Texas 1000 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 3: who have informed that I said Russell Crowe was bringing 1001 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 3: back the sale GP. The reason Russell Crowe is in 1002 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,919 Speaker 3: my mind is because of a controversy that fled about 1003 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 3: an hour ago when I was talking about the new 1004 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 3: Gladiator movie and I said, ex Mount Albert Grammar school boy, 1005 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 3: Russell Crowe. 1006 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 9: And then immediately five other different. 1007 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 3: There schools were mentioned. People said, no, Dickens, he's an 1008 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 3: Organ Grammar school boy, and others said, no, he's a 1009 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,840 Speaker 3: Mount roscal Grammar school boy. And I started doubting myself 1010 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 3: briefly because remember I am sixty one years old, the 1011 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 3: same age as Russell Crowe and I was in the 1012 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 3: same class as Martin Crowe. And I'm pretty sure I 1013 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 3: never saw Rusty anywhere near Grammar when I was at Grammar, 1014 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 3: and I always thought he went to Mount Russell. I've 1015 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,279 Speaker 3: checked it. He went to Grammar briefly after they came 1016 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 3: back from Australia, but then his family moved and then 1017 00:50:58,800 --> 00:50:59,839 Speaker 3: that's when he went west. 1018 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 9: I mean, and then these people in Australia who are listening, thinking, 1019 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 9: what are you talking about? 1020 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 3: True enough? True enough? 1021 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:06,359 Speaker 2: As well? 1022 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 3: Should I talk about the G string? Do I have 1023 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 3: to talk about this G string? 1024 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 21: Oh? 1025 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,759 Speaker 3: The producers who are also banning me from watching the 1026 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 3: Euro twenty four so that I don't get distracted. What's 1027 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 3: the score? 1028 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 9: It's still too un to spain, too. 1029 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,880 Speaker 3: One to spain. Thank you well. I think I do 1030 00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 3: have to mention the G string, just briefly, because I've 1031 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 3: got a point of view that might be different from others. 1032 00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,280 Speaker 2: The my costing breakfast. 1033 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 3: It's thirteen to eight. So as much as I am 1034 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 3: loathed to get into the great Tahlanaki G string debate, 1035 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 3: which has dominated water cooler talk for the past twenty 1036 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,399 Speaker 3: four hours, I could have mentioned it in yesterday's show. 1037 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 3: I didn't, but anyway I thought as a contrarian that 1038 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 3: I thought I might come out and support the petition 1039 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 3: wanting them gone from the new plub with Aquatic Center. 1040 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,160 Speaker 3: The reason I didn't talk about this twenty four hours 1041 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 3: ago is because you know it's prurient. I'll tell you how. 1042 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 3: Pre As soon as I said I'm going to talk 1043 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 3: about it, someone texted me and said, I hope when 1044 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 3: you mentioned the G string briefly you cover all the 1045 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 3: important bits. Bomb bomb It's quitquite a well constructed I thought, 1046 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 3: so that's why I read it. We've heard everyone sniggering 1047 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 3: and talking down their nose about Tara Nakki Prudes. I 1048 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 3: heard Josie Pegani on Heathers Show yesterday chanting free the bum, 1049 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 3: which is something I do not need to ever hear again, 1050 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:31,800 Speaker 3: specially especially when Paddy Gower joined in. I've had my 1051 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,840 Speaker 3: own family tell me who am I to tell a 1052 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 3: woman what to wear, and to sneer at me that 1053 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,400 Speaker 3: I'm getting old and conservative in that I am supporting 1054 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 3: a G string band in a pool, So hear me out. 1055 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,400 Speaker 3: I am not against g strings per se. I cannot 1056 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,360 Speaker 3: see how that comfy though I can't see how they 1057 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 3: make a wearer feel secure and surf. I don't know 1058 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,479 Speaker 3: why you need to tan a bum. I can't see 1059 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 3: how you can say they don't sexualize a woman. But 1060 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,320 Speaker 3: I'm not against the per se at the beach in summer, 1061 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,680 Speaker 3: where you can choose how close or how far away 1062 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 3: you can be from the bottoms in question. And here's 1063 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 3: the rub, it's the environment. A pool is a confined space. 1064 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 3: I don't like pools. There are too many people in 1065 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,080 Speaker 3: too small a space, all frolicking in a limited puddle 1066 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 3: of water. It feels dirty to me. Sorry, I find 1067 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 3: them very claustrophobic. The new Pimoth Aquatic Center I have 1068 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 3: looked at it has both indoor and outdoor pools. But 1069 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 3: I would suggest, if this story comes up now and 1070 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 3: you are attending an indoor swimming lesson on a winter's day, 1071 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 3: a g string wabbling pass would be distracting, no matter 1072 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 3: who you were, or how conservative or liberal you are 1073 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 3: or not, because it's right there. The pool in question 1074 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,320 Speaker 3: has rules about how much cleavage you can show, So 1075 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 3: what's the difference between the rule for the top and 1076 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 3: a rule for the bottom. It's like wearing jandles to 1077 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 3: a restaurant or genes to an investiture. It's just a 1078 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:58,680 Speaker 3: dress code which prescribes horses for courses. So add a pool, yes, 1079 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 3: skimpy athletic top, yes, budgie smugglers for men, they're acceptable. 1080 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,799 Speaker 3: They're fine for a pool, but leave the g string 1081 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 3: for our special beach occasion. And by the way, that 1082 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:10,879 Speaker 3: goes doubly for men. 1083 00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 1: Andrew Diggers on them my costing breakfast with Jaguar News Talks, 1084 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: he'd be. 1085 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 3: Well, here we go. Data from the Ministry of Primary 1086 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 3: Industries has showed a sharp decline in New Zealand forest 1087 00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 3: plantings in New Zealand, which is against a trend I 1088 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 3: would have thought this year we are planning to plant 1089 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 3: twenty four percent less than we did last year. So 1090 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 3: within the industry, some should I say, within the industry 1091 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 3: are warning that this could result in a shortage of 1092 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,640 Speaker 3: buyo fuel in years to come. So the executive officer 1093 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 3: of Bioenergy Association, Brian Cox, joins me right. 1094 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,000 Speaker 18: Now, Hello, Brian, good morning. 1095 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 3: This is surprising because you know we've had so many 1096 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,240 Speaker 3: pro forestry programs through the decades. 1097 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 22: Oh yes, but markets move up and down according to 1098 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 22: how people see you. And so what we've got to 1099 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 22: do is to recognize that planting the trees is an 1100 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:11,720 Speaker 22: opportunity and that we're not planting now, then in twenty 1101 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 22: thirty years time, we won't have the biomass that we 1102 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 22: need to make biofuels, and you know that's what we need. 1103 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 3: Well, we know about the plantings for carbon credits, but 1104 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 3: how much planting happens in New Zealand specifically for biofuel. 1105 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 22: We don't actually plant specifically for biofuels. Is that we're 1106 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,759 Speaker 22: fortunate in that we grow trees so well, and we 1107 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 22: grow so much that we're able to use the residues. 1108 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 22: And it's the residues from harvesting or from wood processing 1109 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 22: that we use, and that means that it's fully sustainable. 1110 00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 22: It's backed on to primary products, whether it's rogs or lumber, 1111 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 22: and so we're using those residues to be able to 1112 00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 22: basically get one hundred percent of a tree able to 1113 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 22: be used either in the primary product or through the 1114 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 22: residues for energy. 1115 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 3: Well, I know from my school biology is that Pinus radiata, 1116 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 3: which is a common planting tree, grows like billio in 1117 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:14,880 Speaker 3: New Zealand. So do we have the ability if we 1118 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 3: do the planting, to actually make an awful lot of biofuel. 1119 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,800 Speaker 22: Yes we do, and the different species will be useful 1120 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:29,440 Speaker 22: in different categories. Currently we're using the residues from our 1121 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:35,800 Speaker 22: Finus radiot of plantations in shopping out coal for process 1122 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 22: heat and potentially in the South Island. And that's just 1123 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,919 Speaker 22: been going gangbusters. 1124 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:41,360 Speaker 8: Is that. 1125 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:47,839 Speaker 22: People recognize that we can't use coal. Previous government also 1126 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 22: brought in plans and restrictions on using coal, and so 1127 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,120 Speaker 22: the market has responded by using the residues which often 1128 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,560 Speaker 22: would be left in the forest law or not utilized, 1129 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 22: treasured as waste rather than treated as a valuable product. 1130 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 22: And what's going to go the future wealth exactly? 1131 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, speaking of future wealth, I mean, can we 1132 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,200 Speaker 3: export this stuff and make money out offshore? 1133 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:15,880 Speaker 2: Yes we can? 1134 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 22: Is that you know we already do export some palettes, 1135 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 22: not much, but there's a lot of the future products 1136 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 22: like what we call a black palette, and that is 1137 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 22: a very hard palate and that's used for power stations 1138 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 22: like it Huntley, and so we can replace the coal 1139 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:40,480 Speaker 22: that goes into Huntley by a black palette and that's 1140 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,440 Speaker 22: in great demand. Esprecially up through Asia that we can 1141 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 22: use there. But also you know, we as a country 1142 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 22: with our space and ability to grow trees, when we've 1143 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 22: got other countries like Singapore and Asia, they don't have 1144 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 22: the space, they don't have the speed of growing these 1145 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,800 Speaker 22: the way we can. So we can do that and 1146 00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 22: so either for export or for domestic use. 1147 00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 3: Good stuff. Brian Cox, who is from the Bio Energy Association, 1148 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 3: he is the executive officer. Thank you so much for 1149 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,840 Speaker 3: your expertise. So get out there and start planting some forests. 1150 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 3: It's got a double bang. Okay, we got the politicians 1151 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 3: on the way. Uh, Jinny Anderson's on holiday, so it's 1152 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:25,480 Speaker 3: Carmel Czipoloni and also Mark Mitchell. We're going to talk 1153 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 3: about Darlene Tanner obviously, we're going to talk about all 1154 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,680 Speaker 3: that money that labor wasted on light rail or did 1155 00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 3: they or where's all the plans gone, you know, and 1156 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 3: what's going to happen to the property and the tolling 1157 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,440 Speaker 3: of the roads of national significance and all sorts of things. 1158 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 3: And we're going to have some fun with me.

I watched House and 1169 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 3: Dragons on the Telly yesterday. Fantastic two dragons going at 1170 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 3: each other that episode. 1171 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 19: Yet very good. 1172 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 3: Imagine Dragons seventh album, last album album, Yeah, I know 1173 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,000 Speaker 3: because they were Imagine Dragons are not famous for a 1174 00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,960 Speaker 3: long time before they suddenly became famous. Last album was 1175 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two, so it's two years later. They've 1176 00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 3: got some Swedish collaborators who are hilariously called Mattman and Robin. 1177 01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:06,680 Speaker 18: Cha. 1178 01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 3: Short and sweet, lots of two minute songs. Do you 1179 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 3: know the total lenked of album? I think that's very important. 1180 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,400 Speaker 3: Mike Hoskins taught me that total length of album is 1181 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 3: I think under forty minutes, which will make Mike's day. 1182 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:29,640 Speaker 3: And we wish some good Oh by the way, The 1183 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:34,680 Speaker 3: album is called loom LM, as in what you weave 1184 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 3: with and also when you peer over someone's shoulder irritatingly 1185 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:43,840 Speaker 3: while they're trying to type looming away. It is eight 1186 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 3: minutes after eight and it's time to welcome our politicians 1187 01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 3: to the stage.

I 1196 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 21: am for the Green Party. They've been through a lot recently. 1197 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 21: They've made the right calls. I think Darlene should resign. 1198 01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 21: Uh and I can see why they can't allow her 1199 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:37,120 Speaker 21: back in the caucus. 1200 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:38,479 Speaker 3: Very good, Mark. 1201 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,360 Speaker 8: We're just this is a matter for the Green Party 1202 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 8: and they are dealing with it and we're just going. 1203 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,840 Speaker 3: To live at the Well, that's not what the that's 1204 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 3: not what the acting Prime Minister said yesterday. I mean 1205 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,000 Speaker 3: we had we had wednesdaynight and he went bad This 1206 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 3: is a disgrace, This is despicable, This is an outrage 1207 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,760 Speaker 3: towards democracy. The woman's got to go, and you're going 1208 01:01:58,840 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 3: on for the Greens. 1209 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, you know, at the end of the day, 1210 01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,240 Speaker 8: of course, the Deputy prod Minister bought legislation around the 1211 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 8: walker jumping, so you know he's got a stake in 1212 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 8: the ground on that. But no, it's quite Some of 1213 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,400 Speaker 8: the opposition is that it doesn't matter for the Greens 1214 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 8: and they are sorting it out. 1215 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 3: Okay, but mate, you know she's taking the pay and 1216 01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 3: that continues. We're cutting government spending, but we'll give them 1217 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 3: money to Darlene Tarnott. 1218 01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 8: Look and if you are a presentative, if you are 1219 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,960 Speaker 8: serving the people and you are taking the pay, then 1220 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 8: you front up and you do the job. 1221 01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:31,439 Speaker 2: Okay. 1222 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 3: So I'll go back to Carmel Camel. I think she's 1223 01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 3: lost a mandate. Her mandate was granted to her by 1224 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 3: the Green Party because she was a list of MP. 1225 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,640 Speaker 3: Without a mandate, she's got nobody to represent. I believe 1226 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,960 Speaker 3: under electoral watch she should just go. It should just 1227 01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 3: be a trigger. And I believe that there needs to 1228 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 3: be electoral law reform. How do you feel about the 1229 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 3: possibility of changing the rules. So this doesn't become dependent 1230 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,120 Speaker 3: on Darline saying I will resign. 1231 01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 21: After all, I think she's just got to do the 1232 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 21: right thing. There are rules in place, how we have 1233 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,920 Speaker 21: that Obviously that would be a matter for the Greens 1234 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 21: to decide whether they wanted to instigate the leaders that 1235 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 21: are there. And so you know, she's just going to 1236 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 21: do the right thing and walk away. 1237 01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:12,919 Speaker 3: But she was not going to do the right things. 1238 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 3: She could have done the right thing one hundred and 1239 01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 3: fourteen days ago. She's not going to do that. She 1240 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:18,080 Speaker 3: believes in herself totally. 1241 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,919 Speaker 21: Well, less to see how things go. I think there's 1242 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 21: a lot of public pressure on here at the moment, 1243 01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 21: and I think we know where the public sentiment is at, 1244 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 21: and that generally is you need to step away. 1245 01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,960 Speaker 8: I think Carmel's right. I think that kiwis inherently have 1246 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 8: a very strong radar around a sense of what's right 1247 01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,200 Speaker 8: and wrong in the public. I think he's speaking very clearly. 1248 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,760 Speaker 3: All right, then, Okay, let's go to Matt Doocy here 1249 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 3: has not read the abuse report? Why not? 1250 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 2: Mark? 1251 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,320 Speaker 8: Well, from what I understand, it was a meeting that 1252 01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,240 Speaker 8: he had in his electric with his constituents as the 1253 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 8: local key, not in as minister a role, and that 1254 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 8: he was quite simply asked to go that meeting to 1255 01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 8: listen and hear some of the stories some of the 1256 01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,520 Speaker 8: background of people that are obviously been really heavily impacted 1257 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 8: around their experience in state care. 1258 01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 3: For those who's not up with this, he revealed at 1259 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,040 Speaker 3: the meeting that he hadn't read the report from the 1260 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 3: Royal Commission into Abuse in State Care, and he's had 1261 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 3: it since November, So considering his job though, you would 1262 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,280 Speaker 3: have thought he should read it, don't you think or should. 1263 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 19: Have read it? 1264 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 21: Should I do think he should have read it. You know, 1265 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:31,920 Speaker 21: his portfolios are completely related to much of what has 1266 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 21: happened in this inquiry, and he should have read it, 1267 01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 21: particularly given he's had it for so long. You know, 1268 01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 21: it's a hard slog when you're a minister. There are 1269 01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,240 Speaker 21: a lot of reports put in front of you, but 1270 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 21: you have to take them seriously, particularly a report like this. 1271 01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 8: I think without a doubt he's taken it very seriously. 1272 01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 8: I mean, that's why he's deeply passionate. He's been involved 1273 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,919 Speaker 8: in mental health delivery services for decades. He's on mental 1274 01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,280 Speaker 8: Health minister, and and he does take this stuff very 1275 01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:06,000 Speaker 8: very seriously. He's been getting regular updates for officials. They'll 1276 01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,120 Speaker 8: be going over the report. The report will be released 1277 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 8: I think the first week that we're back in Parliament, 1278 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 8: the twenty fourth of July. But you know, but the 1279 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 8: meeting that he attended, Andrew, it was one for just 1280 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,880 Speaker 8: as local constituents that just wanted to get in front 1281 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 8: of them and just share their stories, which. 1282 01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,560 Speaker 3: Well, come on, mark, every time a microphone is in 1283 01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 3: front of you, basically consider it a public megaphone to 1284 01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 3: the entire country. So it doesn't matter if he said 1285 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 3: it just to his locals. It's been reported, yeah, but 1286 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:32,160 Speaker 3: it was a private meeting. 1287 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 8: It wasn't in front of meetia or anything like that. 1288 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,520 Speaker 8: It was just a private constituent meeting normally. Well, all 1289 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,600 Speaker 8: of those meetings that he will never talk publicly about. 1290 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 3: Those, well, the localists came out and said that they 1291 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,880 Speaker 3: were disappointed, so we can easily report that they were 1292 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,439 Speaker 3: in fact disappointed. And the other thing is, of course 1293 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 3: Matt Doosey is one of the nine ministers who has 1294 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,600 Speaker 3: to make the recommendations based on the report. It came 1295 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 3: out in November he's got the report. He's a Minister 1296 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,880 Speaker 3: of the Crown. It's sitting there. I know it's massive. 1297 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,840 Speaker 3: I know it's a hard read, but you would think. 1298 01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:07,520 Speaker 8: Of not full conference has made. It's completely across what 1299 01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 8: needs to be done, what his role is as part 1300 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 8: of those nine minutesters and making sure that we've got 1301 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,160 Speaker 8: the right response in place. 1302 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,600 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell and Carl Sepiloni. It's Politics Wednesday. It is 1303 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 3: eight fourteen the Mike Hosking Breakfast Zip. It's eight seventeen. 1304 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,720 Speaker 3: I'm Andrew Dickens in for Mike Hosking. MIC's back on Monday, 1305 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,840 Speaker 3: Mics on holiday. We're doing Politics Wednesday with Mark Mitchell 1306 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:33,000 Speaker 3: and Carmel Sepalone. So, Carnel, we are now determined that 1307 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,080 Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty nine million dollars was spent over 1308 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 3: six years on the failed Auckland light rail project. Of course, 1309 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,400 Speaker 3: the popular line is no tracks laid for two hundred 1310 01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:44,960 Speaker 3: and twenty nine million dollars. Can you defend that expenditure? 1311 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,200 Speaker 21: Oh? Look, these big infrastructure projects take a lot of planning. 1312 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 21: In the costs to planning them is huge. I remember 1313 01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 21: someone telling you about the Waterview tunnel. It took seventeen 1314 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,959 Speaker 21: years to plan I think four years to actually build 1315 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 21: in the amount of money that went in in the 1316 01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 21: planning stage was significant, and this was a matter of 1317 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 21: you know, planning for a project that unfortunately didn't happen. 1318 01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 3: Why didn't it happen? Carmel Oh, Look, you. 1319 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:16,480 Speaker 21: Know, like there is disagreement, a lot of disagreement around 1320 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 21: what infrastructure should be in place. There's no disagreement about 1321 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,280 Speaker 21: sex that we have an infrastructure deficit in this country 1322 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 21: and that we do need to be focused on that 1323 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,560 Speaker 21: build and making sure that we've got the right mechanisms 1324 01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 21: in place so that people can get around, particularly in 1325 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,560 Speaker 21: places like Rusland. But this was a project that didn't 1326 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 21: pan out. 1327 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 3: Well, I did it fail because you had a plan 1328 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:38,840 Speaker 3: but Michael Wood thought he was a better planner and 1329 01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,080 Speaker 3: decided to stick a light rail underground. Is that how 1330 01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:41,520 Speaker 3: it failed. 1331 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 21: I'm certainly not going to past dis versions on my 1332 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 21: former colleague at all, but it certainly is something that 1333 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 21: didn't work out. And these projects, even in the planning stage, 1334 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,400 Speaker 21: do take a lot of money when you're trying to 1335 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,760 Speaker 21: suss out a way forward and you have to pay 1336 01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 21: contractors and people to actually draw up those plans and 1337 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 21: put their suggestions forward. There's a lot of money that 1338 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,680 Speaker 21: goes into that phase and this is one that day. 1339 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,000 Speaker 3: Okay, Mark, was this two hundred and twenty nine million 1340 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,440 Speaker 3: dollars wasted? I mean that some people from labor have 1341 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 3: claimed that you canceled it and you've wasted the money. 1342 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:12,840 Speaker 3: Did you waste that money? 1343 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 8: There's nothing to show for it, there's no there's nothing 1344 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 8: that's been built. There's no asset for the people of 1345 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,439 Speaker 8: New Zealand. So yes, I'd say it's a big waste 1346 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 8: of money. But look, we're focus. We've you know, Simeon 1347 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:28,839 Speaker 8: Brown has released our government policy statement around land transport 1348 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:32,000 Speaker 8: that includes seventeen roads of national significance. I know for 1349 01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,240 Speaker 8: effect in my own electerate at the delivery of the 1350 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,160 Speaker 8: two boy to Wartworth has made a mess of difference 1351 01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,720 Speaker 8: in people's lives, especially those living in Northland and north 1352 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,840 Speaker 8: of the city. So you know, we know that these 1353 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,479 Speaker 8: roads improved the quality of people's lives. We know that 1354 01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,200 Speaker 8: makes it safer and we we've got a big program 1355 01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:50,759 Speaker 8: and we're going to make a significant investment. 1356 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:55,600 Speaker 21: Who's got where the Aucklanders agree that, you know the 1357 01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,679 Speaker 21: roads of national significance are going to make a huge 1358 01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:02,760 Speaker 21: difference in their lives, very cognizant of the fact that 1359 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 21: there are very little happening to actually ease the congestion 1360 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 21: and do the work that needs to be done in Auckland. 1361 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:10,680 Speaker 21: I'm not sure this government does have a plan. 1362 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:12,320 Speaker 2: Okay, there's a lot. 1363 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 3: If we're talking about roads, let's talk about the tolling 1364 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 3: of the roads. I had to be in brown On 1365 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,879 Speaker 3: before and I got into trouble with some National supporters 1366 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,639 Speaker 3: because I said, you're against the roading and I didn't. 1367 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,600 Speaker 3: What I was saying to Simeon is why is it 1368 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 3: taking so long getting these roads and national significance. Why 1369 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:29,599 Speaker 3: can't you confirm that they're going to be tolls. Why 1370 01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 3: are you not fast tracking them? Why are you saying 1371 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 3: there will be no road lane for at least three years? 1372 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:39,000 Speaker 8: Mark Well, I think that as a general principle around 1373 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 8: tolling of roads, we accept that that is a good 1374 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 8: way to go. I support that, although my own li 1375 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,880 Speaker 8: trip is a road toll they are told. I just 1376 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 8: think that in terms of feness, we should look at 1377 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,840 Speaker 8: the broader network. And your people are are at the 1378 01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 8: same thing. They're playing the toll. I think user pays 1379 01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 8: as we support that. We need to deliver world class, 1380 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000 Speaker 8: world class running network. And yes, getting all consorted car 1381 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,439 Speaker 8: up was really important, but it's not just to Aukland. 1382 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 8: The people in Northland deserve to have a world class 1383 01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 8: highway heading up there. It'll be a game changer for them. 1384 01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 8: Were committed to doing that and that's obviously our policy. 1385 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,240 Speaker 3: But when you campaign last year everywhere, well they're going 1386 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,200 Speaker 3: for new roads, but you're not going to get a 1387 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,799 Speaker 3: new road done or even started within this electoral cycle. 1388 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:27,400 Speaker 8: No, definitely, the AMAS get Road started this electoral cycle. 1389 01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,600 Speaker 8: And you know there's a whole lot of measures that 1390 01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 8: both Sydney and Prow and Chris Bishop, the infrastructure ministers, 1391 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,040 Speaker 8: are working on to make sure that we speed up, 1392 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:35,439 Speaker 8: we get out. 1393 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,479 Speaker 3: You'll you'll be drawing out, You'll be right drawing up 1394 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:40,680 Speaker 3: some plans and some geotech and buying some property, just 1395 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,599 Speaker 3: like the Labor Lot did with the light rail. 1396 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,600 Speaker 8: Well, we're trying to One of the things that this 1397 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 8: camp was about is getting to speeding a delivery and 1398 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,040 Speaker 8: people just need to see that. And I think Carmel 1399 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,560 Speaker 8: is right, is that when you're waiting seventeen years to 1400 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 8: deliver projects. That's not acceptable, and I know that even 1401 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,759 Speaker 8: in my own electrons visiting a development up on Golf Harbor, 1402 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,080 Speaker 8: they used to have four spots that they consulted with. 1403 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,559 Speaker 8: Now there's a list of about twenty. We've become experts 1404 01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,919 Speaker 8: that getting their own way with red type in compliance, 1405 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,639 Speaker 8: and obviously David Seymow is doing a lot of works 1406 01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 8: around that. But we need to speak things up. 1407 01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,679 Speaker 3: Somebody's got their email line, turn it off immediately. Yeah, 1408 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 3: it's quite a funny carmol. Last question, are you guys 1409 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:23,200 Speaker 3: seriously considering an inheritance tax? Do you want to get 1410 01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:23,760 Speaker 3: back in or not. 1411 01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,599 Speaker 21: We have not come up with any tax policy, Andrews, 1412 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 21: So I'm certainly not going to speak to different types 1413 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 21: of taxes, and I think it's important that the public 1414 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 21: knows no decisions have been made around our tax policy. 1415 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 21: We're certainly consulting with people out there the general public, 1416 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 21: with experts about what any tax reforms could look like, 1417 01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:49,000 Speaker 21: but we haven't landed on anything yet. 1418 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,760 Speaker 3: Okay, Mark, apparently, Well, the reason I'm talking about it 1419 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 3: is that people are leaking about it. What do you 1420 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 3: think about inheritance tax and capital gains tax? Apparently it 1421 01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 3: will be considered seriously at the next Labor conference of 1422 01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 3: the into the year. 1423 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, obviously our text policy is a geared 1424 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,519 Speaker 8: towards putting more money back and the bit pockets of 1425 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,840 Speaker 8: key we especially when we're going through tough economic times 1426 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:12,040 Speaker 8: at the moment. But you know, I'll Labor talked to 1427 01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,759 Speaker 8: the text policies. I've obviously going to have some pretty 1428 01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,360 Speaker 8: decisions to time. I'm sure they'll be transparent with the 1429 01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:20,679 Speaker 8: country as we sort of moved towards any Switz. 1430 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 3: Well, he's he's justest avoiding actually taking a hard stand. 1431 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 3: He did at the beginning of this interview, and he's 1432 01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 3: doing it again at the end. Mark good stuff, mate, 1433 01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 3: Mark Mitchell, Calmeel Zippoloni. And that is politics Wednesday, And 1434 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:36,400 Speaker 3: it is eight twenty three. 1435 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens on the My Costing Breakfast with Bailey's Real 1436 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:42,200 Speaker 1: Estate News Talks. 1437 01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 3: It be news talks, it be my bets Looking good, 1438 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 3: Spain still leading to one in the first semi final, 1439 01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,200 Speaker 3: Heuro twenty five minutes still to play. Why haven't we 1440 01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:53,160 Speaker 3: been covering Copper America, by the way, because that's happen 1441 01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,639 Speaker 3: at the same time, I should do that as well. 1442 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,600 Speaker 3: You know what, The very first thing I said this 1443 01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 3: morning when I walked into work round about three thirty five, 1444 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:04,280 Speaker 3: and Ryan's there, and Ryan's produces there and that's it. 1445 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,040 Speaker 3: And I walked in and I said, no, Glenn, I 1446 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:08,479 Speaker 3: think you were there, but you were in the studio. 1447 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,240 Speaker 3: I don't know whatever. I walked in and I said, 1448 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 3: did she win? And they went no. And of course 1449 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,720 Speaker 3: I'm talking about l Lucian who lost in her quarterfinal. 1450 01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:20,760 Speaker 3: That was the eighth game she had played in a row. 1451 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,800 Speaker 3: If you're going to win Wimbledon and you're in the 1452 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:24,800 Speaker 3: main drawer, you only get to play seven games. That's 1453 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 3: a lot of games. She won the first set, and 1454 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,560 Speaker 3: then she sort of tailed off. She was tired. She 1455 01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,160 Speaker 3: was very tired. And the reason I'm mentioning this is 1456 01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 3: a lot of people have said, why are we claiming 1457 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,600 Speaker 3: this woman? You know, she grew up in Switzerland. She 1458 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:39,639 Speaker 3: learned her tennis at the University of Texas. And I said, well, 1459 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,400 Speaker 3: because she was born in Tianu. She chooses to identify 1460 01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 3: as a Tiana in as a New Zealander. She loves 1461 01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,000 Speaker 3: New Zealand. She comes back every week. She wants to 1462 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 3: every year. She wants to be part of us, and 1463 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:52,840 Speaker 3: we want her to be part of us as well. 1464 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 3: You got to say she's been uplifting. 1465 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:59,680 Speaker 1: Demanding the answers from the decision makers.

We go and Steve Price joys we have 1486 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:56,160 Speaker 3: Steve good idea. Andrew so ALBERNIZI has appointed an an 1487 01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 3: envoy who apparently is anti Semitic. 1488 01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 19: Yeah, look, come in. I don't know whether this is 1489 01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:04,120 Speaker 19: window dressing or just something to take attention away from 1490 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:06,080 Speaker 19: the fact that he's got an issue with that senator, 1491 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,479 Speaker 19: man of a payment who's crossed the floor and voted 1492 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,120 Speaker 19: against the government, voted with the Greens. But he made 1493 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:17,519 Speaker 19: this announcement yesterday, went to the Holocaust Museum in Sydney 1494 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,720 Speaker 19: and said that he would appoint a Jewish businesswoman who 1495 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 19: would be his envoy to push the case of anti Semitism. 1496 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 19: I don't know about you, Andrew, but we've had an 1497 01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:30,680 Speaker 19: amazing rise in the number of anti Semitic incidents that 1498 01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,360 Speaker 19: have taken place in this country since October seventh last year, 1499 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:38,400 Speaker 19: when Hamas attacked Israel. It's gone up seven hundred percent. 1500 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 19: That's the measurement. And it's included everything from camp encampments 1501 01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 19: at our major university's street protests every weekend in major 1502 01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:51,479 Speaker 19: capitals like Sydney and Melbourne shops being dored with the 1503 01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:57,120 Speaker 19: anti Semitic graffiti, the whole box and dice. It's just 1504 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 19: been horrendous. And so this envoy, she's going to travel 1505 01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 19: to a meeting of similar envoys. Apparently America has had 1506 01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 19: an anti Semitic envoy for some time. They've got a 1507 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 19: conference taking place in the next couple of weeks and 1508 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 19: then Jewish groups will be able to speak to her 1509 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:18,559 Speaker 19: when incidents occur. In my view, look, it's a gesture. 1510 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,640 Speaker 19: Will it mean that anything change, Will people stop the 1511 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:24,800 Speaker 19: rise of anti Semitism in this country? 1512 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:25,680 Speaker 22: I doubt it very much. 1513 01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about you. You're quite right. We 1514 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,120 Speaker 3: haven't had a huge rise in anti Semitism, but we 1515 01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,280 Speaker 3: have certainly had all sorts of protests and you have 1516 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,879 Speaker 3: to wonder sometimes whether the protest is actually anti Semitic, 1517 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,559 Speaker 3: or whether it's anti Israel, and whether there's a definition 1518 01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:41,240 Speaker 3: between the two, or whether we've done down this debate 1519 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 3: about the conflict between Palestine and Israel to such an 1520 01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 3: extent that people have just taken very black and white sides, And. 1521 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:55,800 Speaker 19: Particularly when you talk about the Australian Greens and some 1522 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,200 Speaker 19: of the younger Australians at our universities. Most of those 1523 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,160 Speaker 19: have now been checked out. But if the Prime Minister 1524 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:05,639 Speaker 19: seriously wanted to do something about this problem, he'd call 1525 01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 19: in the chancellors of those universities and so look, enough's enough. 1526 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:10,719 Speaker 19: You can't let these people do this again. 1527 01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,920 Speaker 3: I think I commented on with you what on Monday 1528 01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:18,360 Speaker 3: about why are the Greens doing policies on Palestine? I mean, 1529 01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,840 Speaker 3: they're about the Greens and you agree, but there we go. Hey, 1530 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:26,800 Speaker 3: Julia Nissane has come back and are there celebrations for 1531 01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 3: the return of the prodigal sun? 1532 01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 19: Well, speaking of the Greens, A Green councilor from the 1533 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,080 Speaker 19: Melbourne City Council had this motion up before the Council 1534 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 19: last night that the City of Melbourne was going to 1535 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,839 Speaker 19: have a welcome Julian A Sanz, his family and support 1536 01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 19: us to the town Hall for quote a civic reception 1537 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 19: to honor him at quote his time of choosing. The 1538 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,599 Speaker 19: motion also called on the council to celebrate Asianz's freedom 1539 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:55,439 Speaker 19: from arbitrary detention. I'm reading from their motion here to 1540 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 19: Lord Andrew his exceptional courage in championing the universal rights 1541 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:03,120 Speaker 19: of freedom, opinion and expression and to reaffirm its support 1542 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:07,200 Speaker 19: for whistleblowers. Well, that didn't get through the council last night. 1543 01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 19: They're not going to have a sinic reception. After all, 1544 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 19: the amended motion without that included was carried including by 1545 01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:18,000 Speaker 19: the new Lord Mayor of Vocal Nick Greece. The Liberal 1546 01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:21,800 Speaker 19: Councilor Rashena Campbell voted against it. The councilor of the 1547 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 19: Green Councilor who put it up. She would not have 1548 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:25,960 Speaker 19: had the numbers to have this reception. It would have 1549 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:30,840 Speaker 19: been quite controversial. A lot of people don't consider Jillian 1550 01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,320 Speaker 19: Assange hero. A lot of them considered the acted against 1551 01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,599 Speaker 19: the interests of not only Australia but our major ally 1552 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:41,599 Speaker 19: the United States. Interestingly, he's now been back I think 1553 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,840 Speaker 19: I'm guessing here around about three weeks Andrew, but no 1554 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:46,840 Speaker 19: one has heard a peep from him, not a word. 1555 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:48,120 Speaker 19: What does that tell you? 1556 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 8: And it is that tually there might be a major 1557 01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,160 Speaker 8: media deal in play where a few dollars on the. 1558 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:52,519 Speaker 21: End of it. 1559 01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,559 Speaker 3: He might be baggage tonight. He might be a bit tired. 1560 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 3: He might have gone a bit larla. After seven years 1561 01:18:58,920 --> 01:18:59,799 Speaker 3: in a room. 1562 01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,519 Speaker 22: He sitting down with his lawyer word is getting it paid. 1563 01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:09,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. Absolutely, You meanwhile has a plan to 1564 01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 3: can I just say the especially regarding anti Semitism is 1565 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,800 Speaker 3: also is homophobia as well. So they've got two parts 1566 01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,800 Speaker 3: of their through their platform, their program. 1567 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:20,760 Speaker 19: That was tacked on the end. 1568 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 3: Of course, of course, now Alberanza has a plan to 1569 01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 3: end domestic violence. 1570 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,240 Speaker 19: Don't you have a problem when prime ministers come out 1571 01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 19: and say things like my government, I have a plan 1572 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:37,479 Speaker 19: to get my government to end domestic violence. Well, seriously, 1573 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,320 Speaker 19: you're not going to do that, and it's impossible. I mean, 1574 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,240 Speaker 19: we all loathe domestic violence. It's dreadful and the rate 1575 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 19: of it in our country is too far, too high. 1576 01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 19: But you can't as a government end domestic violence. The 1577 01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,599 Speaker 19: Prime Minister was on some sort of rant yesterday. I mean, 1578 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:56,560 Speaker 19: this came after the envoy announcement and it's in the 1579 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 19: wake of one of the most horrific stories I've ever 1580 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 19: talked about in Sydney that happened at Leilah Park On's 1581 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:07,439 Speaker 19: early Sunday morning, where the father of seven children, set 1582 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:10,360 Speaker 19: far to his own house, tried to murder his wife 1583 01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:13,360 Speaker 19: and those seven children managed to kill three of them 1584 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 19: he's still in an induced comber in hospital in Sydney, 1585 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 19: the father and may not ever recover. He's going to 1586 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,320 Speaker 19: be charged with murder if he is does recover, and 1587 01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:29,000 Speaker 19: Ed's rock the country. It's appalling what he tried to do, 1588 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:33,760 Speaker 19: and it is clearly a case of domestic homicide. But 1589 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:37,200 Speaker 19: you can't come out and make motherhood statements like we're 1590 01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:39,559 Speaker 19: going to end domestic violence. I mean, I'm old enough 1591 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 19: to remember when Bob Hawke, to former Labor Prome minister, 1592 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,120 Speaker 19: came out and said no child will live in poverty 1593 01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,479 Speaker 19: under a government that I leave. Well, sorry, there's still 1594 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 19: kids in poverty today. You can't make those sort of 1595 01:20:51,280 --> 01:20:54,240 Speaker 19: statements anyway. The Prime Minister thinks that this is something 1596 01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 19: that people will latch onto. I want to see actual 1597 01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:01,080 Speaker 19: direct action to limit the amount of domestic violence if possible, 1598 01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:02,280 Speaker 19: but it's a very hard task. 1599 01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:04,439 Speaker 3: Be good, so, Steve Price, I thank you so much. 1600 01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,080 Speaker 3: It is sixteen to nine. Like to apologize to Andrew 1601 01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,040 Speaker 3: who writes Andrew, there's been a huge writers and anti 1602 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,719 Speaker 3: Semitic behavior in New Zealand. Where have you been, and Andrew? 1603 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 3: Can I just take you back to what I said 1604 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:17,800 Speaker 3: in that Sometimes because I've got young boys, and I've 1605 01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:21,200 Speaker 3: talked to them about the protests, and they talk about things, 1606 01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,080 Speaker 3: and I realize it's not anti Semitism, but it is 1607 01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,600 Speaker 3: anti Israel, and the two are different, but not to 1608 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:32,160 Speaker 3: some players. In fact, most of the kids I've talked 1609 01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,840 Speaker 3: to you about this have absolutely no idea about what 1610 01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:38,439 Speaker 3: happens in the Jewish religion, which I believe is anti Semitic. 1611 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 3: H that you know what I mean. It's fifteen to nine, 1612 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,080 Speaker 3: it's News Talks. 1613 01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,680 Speaker 2: The mic Hosking Breakfast right. 1614 01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,720 Speaker 3: The OCI is out later today. We will bring you 1615 01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 3: that number. There will be little or no commentary from 1616 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:53,760 Speaker 3: the Reserve Bank around that number. It will just be 1617 01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:55,600 Speaker 3: that number, so we'll have to second guess them, and 1618 01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 3: that not expecting the number to go down. You know, 1619 01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 3: the number is currently five point five percent. It's been 1620 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 3: at that level now for twelve months or six in 1621 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,640 Speaker 3: a row, but that's still a year. It's been at 1622 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 3: five point five percent. We have been fighting high inflation 1623 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,599 Speaker 3: now for two and a half years. It has been 1624 01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,280 Speaker 3: a long and hard road already, and the inflation is 1625 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 3: still sticky. We had Nick Tufnel on earlier today saying, well, 1626 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 3: there's a perfect storm. There's been a perfect storm for 1627 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,120 Speaker 3: the past two and a half years, not just the government, 1628 01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:29,599 Speaker 3: but everything to make the inflation sticky. It's really starting 1629 01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:34,320 Speaker 3: to hurt. You'll hear headlines about homeowners forget the homeowners, businesses, businesses, 1630 01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,640 Speaker 3: people providing jobs, people paying you. It's hurting them. So 1631 01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:42,439 Speaker 3: let's hope we can unstick it. On another point, so 1632 01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 3: I'm reading the paper yesterday and I see that the 1633 01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 3: Public Service is confused about the rules about mildly language 1634 01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 3: in the public service and whether they get rid of it. 1635 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 3: Of course, New Zealand first campaigned of stripping today the 1636 01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,000 Speaker 3: names from the public service. They had this awesome quote, 1637 01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,439 Speaker 3: it's not an attack on the Malordi language.
