The Board of Health 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 2: New Zealand sack the commissioners in to try and dig 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: through the layers and layers and layers and layers of 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 2: management the PM and a former board chair on that. 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: We talked to a top Republican strategist on how they 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: handle Harris and can they handle Harris given we don't 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 2: know it's actually Harris has yet. Mark Gilbert, by the way, 10 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: good friend of the Bidens and Harris, former US Ambassador 11 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: to New Zealand with us after eight o'clock.

Hosking, Welcome to 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 2: the day. Seven past six. Media outlets around the world 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: rolled out the predictable article yesterday post the announcement with 17 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: the headline who is Carmela Harris? They rolled out the 18 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: same article you might remember several years ago when she 19 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: got picked as VP as well. Depending on whether those 20 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: articles are applicable in America depends a little bit on 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: whether she can now go on and win. The VP 22 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: of Core isn't really a thing. I mean, they say 23 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: it is, but Mike Pence was a good example before 24 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: Karmala Harris that really it's a figurehead job. Yes, your 25 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: one heart beat away from the presidency, but no one 26 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: honestly expects that to mean anything except in the Harris case. 27 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: You remember, she was meant to be something. She was 28 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: meant to be the replacement when Joe bailed either at 29 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: the end of the first term or anointed her at 30 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: the start of the second. She was the succession plan 31 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: because Biden's job was to beat Trump and then retire. 32 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: The reason that never came to pass was Harris turned 33 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: out to be a dud. And the problem with that 34 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: is the job she never got handed on merit. She 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: now potentially gets handed by default. So the question is 36 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 2: can she run on a record that isn't Biden, given 37 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: she is inextricably linked to the administration, or does she 38 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: sink because of it? How much of Biden's lack of 39 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: support was because he was old and befuddled? How much 40 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: did Americans not see the good stuff in the economy 41 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: because of Biden, and maybe they can now see it 42 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: under Harris. Is Harris so much better known than any 43 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: of the other possibilities like Newsom or Whitmer that she 44 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: has too much of an inn built advantage to risk 45 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: a real, unknown, very real question, even though many would 46 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: argue it shouldn't be, is the Clinton question? Is America 47 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: ready for a female president? Did Clinton lose because she 48 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: was a woman a Clinton or because Trump was better? 49 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: These are all live questions. Upside as the big money 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: you're starting to flow for Harris that wasn't for Biden. 51 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: She knows how the White House works the others don't, 52 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: and she might might be able to grow the Democratic 53 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: turnout from those who would have stayed at home because 54 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: Biden was too old to take seriously. Also, none of 55 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: the others are so obviously better than her that you 56 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 2: can't go past them, So you can make a case 57 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: for her. But make no mistake, this is now and 58 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: still is Trump's to lose. 59 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: News of the world in ninety second now. 60 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: There was much anticipation, in fact, about an hour ago, 61 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: that Carmela was going to break cover, as the tabloids say, 62 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: and get in front of some people and say something 63 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: dramatic like, hey, how about Joe and me becoming the president? 64 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: But she didn't. 65 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 4: I am first had wet that every day our President 66 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 4: Joe Biden fights for the American people and we are deeply, 67 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 4: deeply grateful for his service to our nation. 68 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but what she has done is get that 69 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: money flying. As I say, and some dames like shift 70 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: super excited. I haven't seen this kind of excitement in 71 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party in quite a long time. 72 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: This is a concredible matchup. 73 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: We've got a former prosecutor running against a convicted fell 74 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: and that's the big line for this rice. Of course, 75 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: this blok wasn't too impress tho. She's not a competent person. 76 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: She shouldn't be presidental. 77 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 5: I mean, she's being left at all over the world. 78 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: Then we come to the other business on the hill 79 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: where the lower micros back in town. It's a Monday. 80 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: They want some monsters from the head of the Secret Service. 81 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 6: We do have a no fail mission, and our folks 82 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 6: are tasked with that every day, three hundred and sixty 83 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 6: five days of the year. But I can tell you 84 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 6: I've also taken a number of measures since I've been 85 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 6: the director to recruit and retain and stem the tide 86 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 6: of attrition in our agency. 87 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: The Dems were trying to run some sort of interference for. 88 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 7: Her thirty six regular client. You've got that you protect constantly. 89 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 7: But I was participating in the NATO summit just two 90 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 7: weeks ago. We had thirty two has a government and 91 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 7: has a state, plus visiting has a state and has 92 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 7: a government. Presumably you provided protection for all. 93 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 2: Of them, that is correct, and not a single one 94 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: got shot. So good day of the office. And then 95 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: we come to Bangladesh where despite the courts backing down, 96 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: the fallout from the carriage and the protests are still 97 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: being filled. My nephew was an innocent child. Why did 98 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 2: they kill him in such a brutal way. Finally, Venice 99 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: is claiming a win for the tourism tax, so the 100 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: five euro entrance fee was tested for a month. You 101 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: might remember, brought in a bit over four million when 102 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: it was expected to bring him just over one point 103 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: two million, So that's the good side. Tourist numbers didn't 104 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: drop dramatically, no surprise there, which was the goal. But 105 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: over the twenty nine day test they never hit a 106 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: peak attendance day. I never broke that record number of 107 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: people coming on the weekend increase during the trial period. 108 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: So the mayor says, the plan now is to work 109 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 2: out what busy periods they're going to reinstated for. Here's 110 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: the world of moment. Yeah, CrowdStrike. They're probably grateful that 111 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: they've got a little bit of cover from the Secret Service, 112 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: from Biden, from Harris, from the whole mess. But the 113 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: lawyers are circling. They've started to put a figure on this. 114 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: They think the CrowdStrike mess globally is going to top 115 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 2: a billion quote unquote. If you're a lawyer for CrowdStrike, 116 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: you're probably not going to enjoy the rest of summer. 117 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: I think that's an understatement. And being once again America 118 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: and a Monday, the Guggenheim Securities people have downgraded their 119 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 2: stock signings could be affected, no kidding, shares of slip 120 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: thirteen percent. Twelve past six. 121 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: The Mike hosting Breakfast. 122 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: Imported to catch up with Rod later on this morning. 123 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: Because as part of the politics of the new government, 124 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: of course, they've scrapped the Rwanda thing, illegal immigration. Send 125 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,559 Speaker 2: them all up to Rwanda, they claim. Now the Tories 126 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 2: we're going to spend twenty billion dollars making that happen. 127 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: So more on that. Later fifteen past six, we found 128 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: from jam I Well Andrew kelliher good morning. 129 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 8: Happy to be back to Mike, Happy to be back. 130 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 2: How is Byron Bay? 131 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 8: It was wonderful, It was fantastic. 132 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 9: There's an air of optimism and you know, some of 133 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 9: the things you don't get here at the moment. 134 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: Good stuff. I hope you had a good time. Vida 135 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: Is it a go? Is it a cell? They recommend it, 136 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: they seem to like it, they seem. 137 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: To like you. 138 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 9: I go away for a week, Mike and the New 139 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 9: Zealand chair Mike has just sprung back into life. There's 140 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 9: actually activity going on. So yeah, let's talk about our Vida. 141 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 9: I maybe not as well known as the Rymands and 142 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 9: the Somersets of the retirement sector, but look it is 143 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 9: a significant player. It's listed on the internetx that has 144 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 9: been listed for ten years and it boasts thirty five 145 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 9: communities throughout New Zealand with a bias sort of age 146 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 9: care as opposed to as a retirement village. And Mike, 147 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 9: this has been a tough sector though, hasn't it. You know, 148 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 9: particularly the retirement village sector, which is affected by the 149 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 9: health of the residential property sector because if you want 150 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 9: to buy yourself a retirement unit, you need to tell 151 00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 9: your house. 152 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 8: So it's a sect to where the listed companies have seen. 153 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 9: Their share prices under pressure and what happens inevitably when 154 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 9: share prices get to a point that they attract capital 155 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 9: because there is a price for everything, Mike, as we know. 156 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 8: So. 157 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 9: But despite this is despite the attraction Vida has attracted 158 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 9: the couple despite a couple of years a week earnings 159 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 9: because in Alvida's view, age care needs more government funding. 160 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 8: Look. 161 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 9: Alvida have previously batted away a takeover approach that was 162 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 9: in December twenty twenty three that then prompted a strategic 163 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 9: review from management in the board. They were looking to 164 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 9: present a range of options to realize value for the shareholders. 165 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 9: Yesterday that was announcement on the insidets that the board 166 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 9: was unanimously recommending that shareholders accept a takeover bid coming 167 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 9: from a company called Stone Peak. It was priced of 168 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 9: dollars seventy That is a very healthy premium to where 169 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 9: the share pass last share price last traded, which is 170 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 9: a sixty five percent premium values are Vida well over 171 00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 9: a billion dollars. 172 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 8: It's not chump change. 173 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 9: Look, it's given a boost to the whole Secretor if 174 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 9: I look at other operators, Somer sets up one and 175 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 9: a half percent, Yes, so their share price, Rhyman up 176 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 9: seven and a half percent, Oceani another smaller up eighteen percent, 177 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 9: loot Stone peak Mike. 178 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 8: I don't really don't know an awful lot about them. 179 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 9: Their New York base, They've got offices around the world, 180 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 9: including in Sydney, but they are big, over seventy. 181 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 8: Billion dollars worth of basis under management. Mike. It's what's 182 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 8: called a scheme of. 183 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 9: Arrangement, so there's quite a lot of process involved to 184 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 9: get the bid through to its conclusion, including regulatory approval. 185 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 9: I'd give it a reasonable chance of success, though, I 186 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 9: think shareholders will be attracted by that premium, but it 187 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 9: will take a little while. 188 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 8: This won't happen overnight. 189 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: And then the other thing, Sir Stephen Tindall loves the 190 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: warehouse so much he wants to have another crack. 191 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 9: Is that on set back well, or he wants to 192 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 9: see the share price higher. Then you have got You've 193 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 9: got the warehouse and play. Now, it's not unsurprising, Mike. 194 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 9: It's not the only company on the ENZ and X 195 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 9: where speculation has been bubbling under the surface. You've got 196 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 9: companies that are pretty poor share price performance. So yesterday 197 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 9: we've got an industring and maybe a little unusual announcement. 198 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 9: Warehouse issued a don't sell notice to shareholders. Let's be 199 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 9: clear about one thing though. There is no official bid 200 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 9: for the company, but the announcement revealed that the Warehouse 201 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 9: received has received an approach from Sirs Stephen Tyndall and 202 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,239 Speaker 9: private equity firm adaman Ten Capital in relation to potential 203 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 9: interest in acquiring its shares. So the company or the 204 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 9: directors have advised people not to sell, pending further advice 205 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 9: from said directors. Now, this all follows a report in 206 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 9: Australia and the Australian media that something is brewing. So 207 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 9: something's happening in the background, we just don't have any 208 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 9: concrete information on it. Sirs Stephen Tindall, obviously, for people 209 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 9: out there that don't know, is the original founder of 210 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 9: the Warehouse Group back in nineteen eighty two on. 211 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 8: The Sunny North Shore. 212 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 9: Now, interests associated with Sirs Stephen, including the Tendall Foundation 213 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 9: own just under fifty percent of the shares in the warehouse, 214 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 9: so they are fairly committed to this business. The share 215 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 9: price has recently fallen to under a dollar and twenty 216 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 9: twenty one it did peak over four dollars. That they've 217 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 9: had week operational performance. They're in the middle of restructure. 218 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 9: They've been shedding assets, so it's not unusual that something 219 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 9: has happened because the chepa's got so low. 220 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 8: Who are ad a Man ten. 221 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 9: They're an Australian private equity group.

But potentially, Mike, you've got another couple 227 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 9: of companies that could leave the inside acts and so 228 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 9: that is the negative side of this. 229 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: Right numbers, Please, it's all looking wonderful out there. 230 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 8: So I go away and things just go up? Is 231 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 8: there a message in that anyway? 232 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 9: The Dow Jones is up seventy seven points forty three 233 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 9: hundred and sixty three.

Just to clear this up. You were commissioned 351 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: by Airbnb to do this. Did you get stitched up 352 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: as this legit? 353 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 14: It is legit and no, I don't get stitched up MIC. 354 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 14: I think a lot more of myself and I think 355 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 14: others think a lot more of us for this. But 356 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 14: I think this is probably why Airbnb came to us. 357 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 14: I said, look, everyone always talks about what the effect 358 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 14: of Airbnb and similar might be on the rental market. 359 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 14: No one's actually done the numbers. We sort of just 360 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 14: talked about it. Can you go and do the figures? 361 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 14: And we did. We went into it with an open 362 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 14: mind and what we found was that actually the largest 363 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 14: influence on the rental and housing markets are fun enough 364 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 14: population growth, but also the interest rates airbnbs have. Other 365 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 14: short term rental accommodation doesn't have a particularly big influence 366 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 14: at all, which makes sense given the sorts of population growth. 367 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 14: And similarly, you've had over years, and suggests that again, 368 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 14: you really just need to increase the supply of houses 369 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 14: across the board if you want to improve housing outcomes. 370 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: All right, let me pick up on a couple of 371 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: things here. If we didn't have the immigration growth we had, 372 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: would it be different? 373 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 14: Well, I think it probably would be. Also, then need 374 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 14: to look at other parts of the economy in terms 375 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 14: of the labor market and similar. Would we have the 376 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 14: right skills? Would we have the right people to do things? 377 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 14: I think it's more that if we're going to have 378 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 14: migration levels like we've had it, and I actually think 379 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 14: that's a good thing, we sort of also have to 380 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 14: resource it well at the right time. And I think 381 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 14: you know, when we went through this analysis, we pulled 382 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 14: together a bunch of data on the lights of the 383 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 14: housing market over a longer period of time, growth in 384 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 14: the dwellings and similar and it continues to suggest every 385 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 14: report that we seem to do on the housing market 386 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 14: suggests that we just need to continually build more. 387 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: Right, So are you suggesting immigration aside that there aren't 388 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 2: enough AIRB and B houses to affect the price because 389 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 2: logic would indicate that if there's a house sitting on 390 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: a street and it's AIRB and BT as opposed to 391 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: rent it, that must in some way, shape or form 392 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 2: affect the rental market. 393 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 14: Well, that's the interesting thing. That was another thing that 394 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 14: we did test through the analysiss because there's always this idea, Mike, 395 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 14: if you have an airbnb, if it wasn't in an airbnb, 396 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 14: it would definitely be along funmental and we found often 397 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 14: just wasn't the case. Particularly in Queenstown for example, we 398 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 14: found a number of areas where even before Airbnb was 399 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 14: ever a thing, yet quite a lot of holiday homes 400 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 14: and similar So just because the house is there doesn't 401 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 14: mean it will be a long term rental. And therefore 402 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 14: that's where when we went through some of those figures, 403 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 14: that's where we found it actually there wouldn't necessarily be 404 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 14: a huge conversion through What we also found, and I 405 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 14: think this was sort of particularly interesting, is that often 406 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 14: I think we sort of condense a few different issues 407 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 14: together and that's where you often get this talk of 408 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 14: airbnb's having a greater influence than they do. I sort 409 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 14: of liken it in a sense that if you had 410 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 14: a look on a cold winter's day and you saw 411 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 14: that there was an increasing sale for jackets and an 412 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 14: increasing sale for heat pumps. You could make the inference 413 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 14: that higher jacket sales influence higher heat pump sales. Not really, 414 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 14: it's that there's actually a common factor, which is the temperature. 415 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 14: For airbnbs, there's more airbnbs over time, as well as 416 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 14: higher rental prices because there's more population. That is what 417 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 14: it boiled down to. When we sort of looked at 418 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 14: all of the figures together, we put them all into 419 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 14: our model and we said, what is the biggest influence 420 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 14: on these outcomes on rents and house prices? Population growth 421 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 14: came out of a country bile ahead. I mean for Queenstown, 422 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 14: for example. We estimate that broadly, over the last six years, 423 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 14: the likes of population growth contributed about a one hundred 424 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 14: and one dollar per week increase in rents. Airbnb did 425 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 14: around eleven dollars. Right. 426 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 2: Would you as Queenstown unique though, because there'd be a 427 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: lot of flash houses in Queenstown that yes, you'd hire 428 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 2: out for five nights in a year at two thousand 429 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 2: dollars a night versus having some ski bum hang out 430 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 2: for fifteen hundred dollars. We can wreck your house. 431 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 14: Quite possible, and I think the thing with Queenstownd that's 432 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 14: why we did spend a bit more time on it 433 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 14: because it does have a much larger concentration of short 434 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 14: term rental accommodation and similar so we did have a 435 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 14: bit of a look at that. That's why I just 436 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 14: gave you those numbers to try and highlight that figure. 437 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 14: When we looked at other areas though, So we looked 438 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 14: at the likes of Auckland, Wellington, christ Church, much much 439 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 14: bigger areas, the concentration of airbnbs in those areas quite 440 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 14: a bit smaller, so they just don't really have any 441 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 14: discernible effect. I mean you're talking. I think it's since 442 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 14: per week, since per month's difference for as airbnbs do, 443 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 14: so it's just not a significant influence. 444 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: Good insight, mate, Nice to have you on the program. 445 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 2: Has always Brad Olsen in for Metrics, Chief Executive, eighteen 446 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven past, Get yeah, fun bro, it's 447 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: every couple of years. Here's what's interesting about the aviation 448 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 2: sector of the moment. They cannot make enough planes. Isn't 449 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 2: that still extraordinary? They cannot make enough planes, so they're 450 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 2: not expecting huge numbers of orders at this particular show 451 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: because basically they're stuck air Bus currently. So you've got 452 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: Airbus and Boeing. You know about Boeing, but Airbus has 453 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: a backlog of eight thousand, six hundred and twenty six 454 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: orders to get through by the end of last year. 455 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: Now last year is already finished and they didn't do it. 456 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 2: So Boeing's only got five thy six hundred for obvious reasons. 457 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: So the problem at the moment is we're desperate to travel. 458 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: We're still going to spend the money. The airlines want 459 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: to increase capacity, but they kin'd stuck at the moment. 460 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 2: Seventeen to two. 461 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 3: The Mike Costing Breakfast. 462 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: Hi, Mike, can you give a breakdown of the six 463 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: thousand dollars that's my share of the healthcare? How much 464 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: of that actually goes into real healthcare and how much 465 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 2: into management? Joan, what a very very good question. That 466 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 2: six thousand dollars is my number. By the way, I 467 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: took thirty billion to buy by the population point being 468 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: and this is what Shane Reddy was trying to say yesterday. 469 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: They didn't know. They can't see there's no what they 470 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 2: call line of sight. So you sit on the board 471 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: and you go, no, we think we're going to make 472 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 2: some sort of surplus. The oh, hold on, no, we're not. 473 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 2: We're losing one hundred and thirty million dollars a month. 474 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 2: So one moment you think you're up, the next minute 475 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: you're going down the googler to the tune of billions. 476 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: How do we explain that? So more on that after 477 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: seven o'clock fourteen. 478 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 15: Two International Correspondence with ends an eye insurance, peace of 479 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 15: mind for New Zealand business. 480 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 2: In other words, Mansking the question that wouldn't have a clue? 481 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 2: Catherine Field, morning to you. Good morning mate. I'm reading 482 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: a lot about these Olympics, and I'm looking at occupancy 483 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 2: rates here Paris hotels eighty percent, which is below the 484 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: ninety percent for London and two thousand and twelve ninety 485 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: four percent for Rio Dejaneira in twenty sixteen. What's gone wrong? 486 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 8: Mike? 487 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 16: If I could find a hotel owner to tell me 488 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 16: he's got eighty percent occupancy, my dog will be so 489 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 16: much easier. I have not met one that has that 490 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 16: much occupancy. They are lucky if they're getting seventy percent. Really, Mike, 491 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 16: it's I think you know, thinking back, I think last 492 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 16: year when they originally came up with these completely bizarre 493 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 16: prices of eight hundred euros a night for a room, 494 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 16: and that was sort of, you know, the minimum price. 495 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 16: They've essentially just pushed themselves out of the market, pushed 496 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 16: tourists away. I think the other thing, Mike is security 497 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 16: is so intense in Paris, so anyone who was thinking 498 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 16: of coming here would now say, no, you cannot get 499 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 16: within about a kilometer of the Eiffel Tower. And whilst 500 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 16: she's beautiful to look out from a distance, it's also 501 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 16: quite nice to go and sit and have a look 502 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 16: and walk and perhaps even to visit the Eiffel Tower. 503 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 16: So you've got, you know, this dreadful combination mic of 504 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 16: incredibly expensive hotels. You've got you can't get anywhere in 505 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 16: the center of Paris, and it's almost for people who 506 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 16: are living there a bit like lockdown, because you have 507 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 16: to have a special path to be able to get home. 508 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 2: Is this because of one just purely the Olympics, or 509 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: is it a French interpretation of security for the Olympics, 510 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 2: or it's genuinely needed and accepted by everybody. 511 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 16: It's for the opening ceremony, Mike, it really is. And 512 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 16: as all came into play on the eighteenth of July, 513 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 16: and let's not forget that the opening ceremony isn't until 514 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 16: the twenty sixth of July. They are absolutely besides themselves 515 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 16: in nerves. They say they've got that forty five thousand police, 516 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 16: security and troops ready. 517 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 17: For that day. 518 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 16: It is really that they want it to go well. 519 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 16: Just a couple of hours ago is that the Elisa 520 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 16: Pallas where Manuel Macron was there with the IOC head 521 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 16: Thomas Back and he said, you guys, we thought we 522 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 16: were crazy when we started this idea of having it 523 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 16: on the sand, but now we're going to do it. 524 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 16: We're going to do it well. And that's what they want, Mike. 525 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 16: They realized this is the zillion dollar tourist spot and 526 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 16: that more people are going to watch it on TV 527 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 16: because they're going to see this amazing show, they're going 528 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 16: to see the sand, they're going to see everything on 529 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 16: their TV screens. And this they're thinking of not just 530 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 16: for the Olympics, but also to tell people around the world, Hey, 531 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 16: come to. 532 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: Paris, Okay, is anyone going to swim in the scene 533 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 2: And like I don't know. I think called the Triathlona. 534 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 2: This is living work that out. 535 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 16: Yet they say it's going to be okay. Of course 536 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 16: we had last week the Mara of Paris went for 537 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 16: a dip there and they say that the for some reason, Mike, 538 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 16: all of a sudden, it's come very clean, and that 539 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 16: the two bugs that they test for in the water 540 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 16: are at the lowest rate they've been for several months. However, 541 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 16: they have let us know that if it's not that clean, 542 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 16: then the particularly the marathon swimmers will move oun't to 543 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 16: the east of Paris into the man region, which is 544 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 16: where the kayak king and the canoeing area is, and 545 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 16: they'll be able to do their marathon swims there. But 546 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 16: they're pretty hopeful still, mate, even if that river is 547 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 16: running very fast and still looks very swollen. 548 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 2: Super quick. Because you know, I'm concerned. You got a. 549 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 16: Government oh good heaven snow, no good, heaven snow that 550 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 16: I'm still arguing about who they're going to put forward 551 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 16: as the prime minister. But we do have a Speaker 552 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 16: of the House, and everyone thinks that was a rigged 553 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 16: vote because the former Speaker of the House, which is 554 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 16: one of the original Emmanual Macron appointees was elected back 555 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 16: to the post. 556 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: Okay, you go, I just confirmed once again. I'm out 557 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: of time. So it's my old discipline. Just that I 558 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: wasn't making this up. The surfing for the Olympics is 559 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 2: in Tahiti, isn't it. 560 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 16: Tahiti is part of the French. 561 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that. But if I'm a surfer, what 562 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 2: a rip? So I'm stuck on a boat in the 563 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 2: middle of nowhere, miles thousands of miles away from the 564 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: actual event. I mean, that's weird, isn't it. 565 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 16: Well, here's the thing. What this There's always surfing events 566 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 16: this time of year in Tahiti. 567 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: They know they're going to get the surf. 568 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 16: However, there are people down in the southwest of France 569 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 16: who have a lot of surfers down there that's in 570 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 16: great waves down and beards. They say it should have 571 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 16: been there. 572 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. All right. Nice to catch up, Catherine. Good 573 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: to see you next Tuesday. Catherine Field out of France, 574 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 2: Prius nine away from seven. 575 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 3: On cost Breakfast on air and on iHeart Radio News. 576 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: Talk Ted be wanting Michael's surfas get flown to Paris 577 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: for the crowsing Ceremony's still weird. And you go, you 578 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: live on a cruise ship and then you go surfing 579 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: during the day. It seems strange. Mike, We're in Paris. 580 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: I get why they've done it. Just seems weird. Mike. 581 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 2: We're in Paris five weeks ago. It was stunning, pricey, 582 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 2: but beautiful. We did it all. We did wonder how 583 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 2: much they needed to get done within a month before 584 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 2: the start, but our sun reports he's working for the Olympics. 585 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 2: It's all done. I wouldn't swim in the water, even 586 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 2: with a full and tactic dry suit. Thank you a 587 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: link of hope you enjoyed your time. Got some survey 588 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 2: action from IPSOS and the Washington Post. The question was 589 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 2: fairly simple, who is your choice for the Democratic nominee? 590 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: They serve a Democrats and the answers as follows Michelle 591 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 2: Obama eight percent. And that's not because Michelle Obama isn't 592 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 2: positive or popular. It's because Michelle Obama is not actually 593 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: running and most people have actually worked that out. Gavin Newsom, 594 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 2: for all the people who said, I Tollma Schao comes 595 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 2: and what are you going to do? You depressed about that? 596 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: Well, it's because all that political experience that she's got 597 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: being a politician. 598 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: Oh no, Gavin Newsom fourteen percent. And I've argued that 599 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: all along. No one knows who Gavin Newsom is. Unless 600 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: you're a political wonk or live in California, no one 601 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: knows who he is. Karmala Harris fifty nine. So fifty 602 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 2: nine v fourteen v eight there's your answer. Five away 603 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 2: from seven. 604 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 3: Ply in and the ouse. 605 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business fiber take your business productivity 606 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: to the next level. 607 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 17: Yeah. 608 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 2: But going on in aviation, as I have alluded to 609 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: this morning the Farmber air Show this week, demand for 610 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 2: planes is up. Supply chain, as I told you, is 611 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: a bit of a problem. But at the budget end 612 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 2: of the market this is interesting. Europe's largest carrier, Overnight 613 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: Ryan here, big big drop in profits and they don't 614 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: end in sight Q two profit after tacks came in 615 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 2: at seven hundred and thirty of our dollars seven hundred 616 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: and thirty million of our dollars. That's a forty six 617 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 2: percent drop. Analysts had it coming in at nine to fifty, 618 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: So seven thirty is not nine to fifty, so that 619 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 2: was even worse. Passengers have become more frugal, and because 620 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: of that, they're having to drop those fares year on year. 621 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 2: The average fair has dropped fifteen percent. In June average 622 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: cost of a Ryan air fair. This gives you some 623 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 2: sort of indication of what budget air lines are like. 624 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: Average fare in June was seventy six dollars. Seventy six dollars. 625 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: You can't get an uber in New Zealand for seventy 626 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: six dollars, down from ninety As have heard the drop 627 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 2: of ten percent they reckon coming. In August, revenue per 628 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: passenger was down ten percent, while their operating costs, of course, 629 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,959 Speaker 2: were up eleven percent because higher wages. So over all 630 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: the company has lost twenty five percent of their share 631 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: price in the last twelve months. Speaking of Biden, by 632 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 2: the way, Mark Gilbert, you'll remember the name baseball player, 633 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 2: turned out to be an ambassador for New Zealand back 634 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen through seventeen. He was nominated by Obama. 635 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 2: He's been pretty much a lifelong friend of Joe. Biden 636 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: knows Karmlala Harris very well as well, so we'll get 637 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: his insight as to how he sees this thing unfolding 638 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: from the Republican side of the equation. Amy to Kennion 639 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: is with the Republican soci'll talk to us after seven 640 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: o'clock in a couple of moments. And then Mark Robinson, 641 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 2: who of course runs New Zealand Rugby this San Diego experiment. 642 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 2: Do they know it's a success. I mean, you know 643 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: where he's going to come on. I'll say, Hi, Mark, 644 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: was it a success? You go, oh, absolutely, fantastic, Mike. 645 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: But we're going to cut through that sort of jargon. 646 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: We're going to go through a few kpies and see 647 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: what really happened there in San Diego. 648 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: The newsmakers and the personalities the big names talk to, 649 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: like my asking breakfast with Jaguar, the art of performance 650 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: news Tom said. 651 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: Been warning seven past seven as we await the US 652 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: President to return to Washington and talk the world through 653 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 2: his decision. Momentum. APEE is to be growing behind KRMLA 654 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 2: Harris as a replacement candidate. Money's flowing as well as 655 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 2: the endorsements, and the Republicans are out on the campaign 656 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 2: trial the. 657 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 13: Idea of selecting the Democrat Party's nominee. Because George Soros 658 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 13: and Barack Obama in a couple of elite Democrats got 659 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 13: in a smoke filled room and decided to throw Joe 660 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 13: Biden overboard. 661 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: That is not how it works. 662 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 13: That is a threat to democracy, not the Republican Party, 663 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 13: which is fighting for democracy every single day. 664 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 2: Now Republicans strategist informing about a Republican Party chair Amy 665 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: ta Kenyan's with us, Amy, morning to you. Thank you 666 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: for having me, not at all, Just broadly speaking, When 667 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: you go back to Butler and you look at what 668 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 2: happened on Sunday, your time with the with Biden stepping away, 669 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 2: do you feel like history is unfolding in front of 670 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: your eyes? 671 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 18: Oh, one hundred percent. In fact, there's so many twists 672 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 18: and turns this couldn't even you know, be one of 673 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 18: the best movie scripts that anyone could even come up 674 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 18: with on their own. I mean, this has been completely wild. 675 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: How does how does the Republican Party handle Kamala given 676 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 2: Kalmala is not quite official until she is official, and 677 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 2: she may or may not be official. 678 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 18: Sure, well, I think unfortunately, we're going to have a 679 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 18: very vicious next three months. Since we have social media 680 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 18: and uh, you know, video that doesn't disappear, You're going 681 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 18: to have the three, and the three being Donald Trump, 682 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 18: Jade Vance, his VP choice, and then Kamala and we're 683 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 18: waiting to see who she chooses as her running mate. 684 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 18: But those three in particular at this moment, there's plenty 685 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 18: of footage to use against one another, plenty of verbiage 686 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 18: to use, plenty of vitriol, plenty of of uh, you know, 687 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 18: very toxic uh words that could be used against them, 688 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 18: for for each side to to not like about either 689 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 18: of them. And so, you know, we are in a 690 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 18: day and age where I think the the the knuckle 691 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 18: uh you know, the beatdowns are just it's a whole 692 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 18: nother level. It's not it's not like back in the 693 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 18: day where you could sit there and just talk about 694 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 18: each other's views and issues and it's stances and that's 695 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 18: really where we should be. But we don't do that anymore. 696 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 18: We're demeaning, we knock people down, We you know, mischaracterize 697 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 18: one another. And I think this is probably gonna be 698 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 18: one of the most vicious we've ever seen. 699 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: Your answer indicates that the message from Joe Biden before 700 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,719 Speaker 2: I lift to take the temperature down a bit, it's 701 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 2: not going to be listened to, and nothing changes, No. 702 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 18: It lasted maybe twenty four hours, and then you know, 703 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 18: as soon as that twenty four hours was up, you 704 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 18: already had the name, the name calling, you know, being 705 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 18: flown each at each other. 706 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 19: And so. 707 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 18: I had high hopes, but I knew it wasn't going 708 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 18: to last. Unfortunately. 709 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 2: What's your assessment of Kamala Harris. Let's assume she is 710 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: it is she bogged down by the Biden administration, or 711 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 2: does she potentially open up a whole new field of 712 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: voters who maybe weren't going to go that way because 713 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: they couldn't, you know, hold their nose enough. 714 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 18: Sure well, let me put an example out there. The 715 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 18: state of Nevada, which I'm from, the fastest growing party 716 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 18: affiliation are nonpartisans and independents, and it's growing at a 717 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 18: rapid pace. Second is Democrats trailing, and third are Republicans. 718 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 18: And I'm hearing more and more each day how people 719 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 18: are failed, disenfranchised. They feel like they're floating on a 720 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 18: raft in the ocean, waiting for land. They don't recognize 721 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 18: their party anymore, and quite honestly, they were disappointed of 722 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 18: the rematch of the two gentlemen. They wanted somebody fresh, 723 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 18: somebody new, so you do have a number of voters 724 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 18: out there, in a large number that still, which is crazy, 725 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 18: have not made up their minds and so those are 726 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 18: the people that they need to really focus on. Both 727 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 18: campaigns need to focus on those nonpartisans and independents. 728 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 2: Will stay in touch. I appreciate your expertise very much. 729 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: Ammy Takennian, who's Republican strategist out of Utah this morning 730 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 2: eleven minutes past seven oskag Another big move from the 731 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: government as they replaced the Health New Zealand Board with 732 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 2: the commission that there was a massive budget blow out 733 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 2: of about one hundred and thirty million issue a month 734 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 2: and the claims that they layers of management so thick 735 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 2: no one has a clue where the money's going and 736 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: what is being spent on. The former Health New Zealand 737 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 2: chair Rob Campbell's with us on this Rob Morning to you. 738 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 17: Good morning, Mike. 739 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 2: As I watched the Prime Minister yesterday, how much is 740 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 2: politics and how much real? Is there that much management? 741 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 2: Does nobody know what's going on? Is it that gargantuinely 742 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 2: a cock up? 743 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 17: There's a lot of politics and it looked for our 744 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 17: problems and our health system moments kidding anyone about that, 745 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 17: and defar to Aura hasn't been able to deal with 746 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 17: them as quickly as many people hoped you and we 747 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 17: can go into the reasons for that. But there's also 748 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 17: a lot of a lot of politics in this most 749 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 17: recent statement. 750 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 2: Okay, so did the board deserve to get sacked or not? 751 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 17: Board has actually disappeared themselves so that there wasn't anyone 752 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 17: left to sack by the time they made this decision, 753 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 17: apart from the ones that just appointed. So it's a 754 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 17: bit dramatic to say they sacked the board. The board 755 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 17: mainly left because they weren't happy with how it was going. 756 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 2: Were they not happy with how it was going? Because 757 00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: it does seem weird that when you look at the 758 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 2: numbers they were forecasting, you know, at best some sort 759 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: of surplus, maybe about break even. Whops, all of a sudden, 760 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 2: that's one hundred and thirty million dollars a month. How 761 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 2: does that work? 762 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 17: Well, that's certainly I can't understand that from outside. But 763 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 17: what I would say is is when someone blows a budget, 764 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 17: there's a couple of possibilities. One is that there've been laxed. 765 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 17: The other is that the budget was never right for 766 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 17: the start, and I suspect that it's a mix of both. 767 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 15: Here. 768 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 17: I suspect that the original budgeting and the appropriations that 769 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 17: were made were never properly adequate. We're never adequate, and 770 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 17: therefore it's been almost impossible to manage to it. And 771 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 17: that comes back partly to the board, partly to management, 772 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 17: but significantly also to the Ministry. The Ministry, you've got 773 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 17: to remember, presided over the cockup that's our health system 774 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 17: for a long time. It wrote the new rules very 775 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 17: much along with the people from outside consultancies. It's presided 776 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 17: and it's still the steward of the system. It gets 777 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 17: all the information that the board gets, and yet it 778 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 17: wasn't calling out anything about this. So I'm not saying 779 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 17: the board has responsibility, far from it. But the Ministry 780 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 17: should not escape from this. It's the ministry which is 781 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 17: supposed to be stewarding the system. 782 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 2: Okay, good insight, well done, appreciate it. Rob Campbell form 783 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 2: a chair because Luxon was at pains yesterday to say, 784 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 2: it's not the money, this thirty billion dollars, we just 785 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,720 Speaker 2: want quality spent. So anyway, Luccen's with us in about 786 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 2: twenty minutes, thirteen passed ask jobs interesting, genuinely interesting insight 787 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 2: this morning from trade meet applications at an all time high. 788 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 2: That's probably not a surprise. This is for the quarter 789 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 2: April to June. Applications per job are up sixty one percent. 790 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 2: Highest average applications tourism, HOSPO, transport, logistics and retail. Salaries 791 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 2: though are at a record level. How do you explain 792 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 2: that easy average salary a seventy two, seven hundred and 793 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 2: seventeen dollars. That's up three point seven percent. That's because 794 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 2: the low paid jobs are gone. Roles paying less than 795 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 2: sixty grand have dropped sixty percent, so that explains that 796 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 2: record salaries to be found in Auckland by a plenty, Canterbury, 797 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: Gisbone and Unawatu, Northland Otago in Southland, job listings for 798 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 2: roles in government and council in Wellington through the floor 799 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 2: down sixty six percent. Number of job applications for government 800 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 2: and council positions up one hundred and nineteen percent. The 801 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 2: total number of job listings down thirty nine percent, so 802 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 2: you can see how dire the economic situation is. Fourteen 803 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 2: pasted the costly racist former US Ambassador to New Zealand. 804 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: Mark Gilbert with US after eight o'clock this morning, seventeen 805 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 2: past seven. So let's have a look at the weekends 806 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 2: All Black Test and whether it achieved what it was 807 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 2: supposed to, i e. Sell the game to the Americans. 808 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 2: NZIT Archief Executive Mark Robinson with US Mark Morning morning. 809 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 2: Mike Razors spoke very well about at tailgate parties, plenty 810 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 2: of noise in the injury breaks and all that sort 811 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 2: of stuff. Do you see it as a success and 812 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 2: how so? 813 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 20: Oh yeah, absolutely, it was a fantastic event. It was 814 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 20: a great week leading up to it. A lot of 815 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 20: levels might but if if you want to focus on 816 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 20: the game, you know it was I think it was 817 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 20: a couple of hundred tickets off sold out, so just 818 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 20: over thirty three thousand people into the ground early, as 819 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 20: well as sailgates stuff going on or set up a 820 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 20: number of merchandise stalls. And the Americans are very different 821 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 20: in terms of the way they approached that. So we 822 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 20: had stalls were you know, long long queues in them, 823 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 20: a lot more music, a lot more people moving in 824 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 20: and around their seats, and a lot more buzz and 825 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,759 Speaker 20: hum in the stadium. So look when we look at 826 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 20: the nature of the competition, of the crowd that we had, 827 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,320 Speaker 20: about seventy percent of the crowd had come from outside 828 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 20: of San Diego, and there were fans from every state 829 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 20: in the United States at the well wasn't well, we 830 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 20: haven't got that little detail yet, But certainly there were 831 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 20: people I'd bumped the people in the street that had 832 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 20: come from from Dallas and other areas in the South 833 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 20: that we were Americans wanting to understand the game more, 834 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 20: had seen seeing aspects of the World Cup and just 835 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 20: wanted to learn more. So there were, you know, I 836 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 20: think a composition of lots of different nationalities and people 837 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 20: from different states as well. 838 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 2: So have you got enough there to actually look on 839 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 2: a piece of paper and go, this specifically is what 840 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 2: we did, what we aim for, and therefore we achieved 841 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 2: it or not? Or is it just all vibes. 842 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 20: I think it's early days with it. I mean, we 843 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 20: met with USA Rugby and World Rugby through the week 844 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 20: and talked about where World Rugby are thinking about the 845 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 20: markets and host cities for the tournament twenty thirty one. 846 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 20: We'll certainly take a gauge off them as to what 847 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 20: future involvement in the States looks like and where we 848 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 20: might go. So we've got a bit to learn around 849 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 20: the market and certainly the USA Rugby got some strong 850 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 20: views on possible markets as well and how we look 851 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 20: to work into the major markets on the East and 852 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,799 Speaker 20: the West coast. So there's definitely more work to do. Mike, 853 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 20: I don't think the plan is fully fledged, but what 854 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 20: we're seeing through content the influences there. You'd probably see 855 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 20: images of NFL franchise and athletes all around the place, 856 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 20: and certainly the engagements through all that off field stuff 857 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 20: was really impressive. We've also did a lot of work 858 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 20: laying some foundations with you know, White and New Zealand. Anchel. 859 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 20: Was great to see people like Tim Brown up there. 860 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 20: Anthony Moss is doing a great job as a general 861 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,320 Speaker 20: counsel to the console sorry to the West coast of 862 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 20: the States, and talked about different ideas around how we 863 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 20: connect the game in there and think about you know, 864 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 20: the border interests in New Zealand as well. So you know, 865 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,280 Speaker 20: I'm self spent a couple of days up at Stanford 866 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 20: and around Silicon Valley talking to some people about what 867 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 20: the future could look like down the West coast, with 868 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 20: regards to rugby and other opportunities. So all in all, 869 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 20: we packed a heap of stuff into the week and 870 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 20: we we had a great event on Friday night as well, 871 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 20: so we're pretty pleased. 872 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 2: Good stuff all right, go well, appreciate it very much. 873 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 2: Mike Robinson, Chief Executive seven twenty one. 874 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 3: Breakers Right. 875 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 2: If you're a business leader, you know the potential, of 876 00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,959 Speaker 2: course of AI, but how do you capture that vague 877 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 2: you safely and securely? These are the big questions of 878 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 2: the age. How can you be sure that you know 879 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 2: your data is not going to lick? What are the 880 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 2: AI gives you answers that are wrong? So this is 881 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 2: where one Net come in because they've got the right answers. 882 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 2: One that sister company, they've got Grizzly AI. So they 883 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 2: built the safe, the secure path for risk averse businesses 884 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 2: to access generative AI.

That's what it's called. 892 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 2: One net plus grizzly AI, a powerful team for your 893 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 2: business husky who seem tardy. For a couple of very real, 894 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 2: intangible examples of just how big a mess our economy 895 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 2: is currently in, and perhaps more importantly, how we continue 896 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,840 Speaker 2: to shoot ourselves in the foot as far as progression 897 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,280 Speaker 2: is concerned. So trade numbers for June right, good news, 898 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 2: We've got a trade surplus. Bad news. It's because we're so. 899 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 2: A trade surplus is what all countries should aspire to. 900 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: You sell more than you buy it. This leads to 901 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 2: growth and jobs and expansion. Countries generally that import more 902 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 2: than they make aren't very good economic models. I mean, yes, 903 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 2: if you import a television and sell it, you need 904 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 2: a person behind the counter and an importer and a 905 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 2: person with the money to buy the TV. But that's 906 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 2: never going to beat the price and the place, whether 907 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 2: it be a farm or a factory that produces things 908 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 2: and sells them for big money offshore. So currently we're 909 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 2: exporting less and importing less, hence the surplus. But it's 910 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 2: merely a reflection of how stalled the economy is. But 911 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 2: the really big issue is Meridian, who, for the second 912 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 2: time in weeks, is asking t Y to drop its 913 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 2: power usage because we don't have enough of it. Good 914 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 2: news ty State Ty signed that twenty year deal. Bad news, 915 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 2: t Y now can't make what they want to make 916 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 2: because we don't have enough power. Why not, because we 917 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: don't have a plan, and because we got hijacked with 918 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 2: renewable ideology, which has led to a supply gap that 919 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 2: is clearly getting worse by the day when it doesn't rain. 920 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 2: The answer is not to ask people to do less, 921 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 2: and you wonder why we have productivity issues. Doing less 922 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 2: is not a business model, and yet here we are. 923 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 2: Good business strategy is to have a plan, plan B, 924 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 2: an alternative. We don't seem to have got to that bit. 925 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 2: The fact Transpower ask us each winter, as they have 926 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 2: again this year, to be careful on cold mornings. The 927 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,280 Speaker 2: fact ey have to one cut a deal that allows 928 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 2: a drop in usage and far lest to an actual 929 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,760 Speaker 2: drop in usage, is in many respects an unforgivable mistake. 930 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 2: But only if you want the country on its feet, 931 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 2: paying its way in the world, expanding and building its reputation. 932 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,760 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that's at the forefront of enough people's minds. 933 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 2: Sky now speaking of which there is growing commentary and 934 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 2: we'll ask Luxon about this, but there is growing commentary 935 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 2: around the idea that the Reserve Bank is completely and 936 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 2: utterly cocked this up and they're going to have to 937 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: start cutting cutting sooner than they thought. So do remember, 938 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 2: and this is important, that under the current forecasts, the 939 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 2: Reserve Bank is not expecting to cut interest rates, the 940 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 2: cash rate your mortgage until next year. Then we're starting 941 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 2: to see the retail bank saying that's not going to happen. 942 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 2: We're talking November now, we're starting to see August. So 943 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 2: in other words, you've gone from next year to August. 944 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 2: And the only reason you're starting to have that commentary 945 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 2: either they're all wrong, completely and utterly wrong, and Adrian's 946 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 2: right and he's the only one that is right, or 947 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 2: they're right and Adrian's wrong. Jared Kerr, who's with Kiwi Bank, 948 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 2: he says, not only are cuts coming twenty five points ago, 949 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 2: once they start, they're going to go bang bang bang 950 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 2: bang bang bang bang bang. How many bangs was that 951 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 2: there was eight bangs? Eight cuts in a row. That's 952 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 2: an indication that they blew it, they overregged it, and 953 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 2: now they're panicing. They've got to get back on track. 954 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 2: So either Adrian's right or Jared's right. So we'll ask 955 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 2: to day Chris the Bluxin about that in a couple 956 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 2: of months. 957 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 3: Prime Instore. 958 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 2: It's Prime Ministerial Tuesday, after the News, which is next the. 959 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: Breakfast show You can Trust the mic Hosking Breakfast with 960 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: the Lea's real Estate doing real estate differently since nineteen 961 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: seventy three, news talks had been. 962 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 2: Bud Gilbert, longtime prod of Joe Biden, former Ambassador to 963 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 2: New Zealand, US Ambassador to New Zealand, as with US 964 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 2: A way to close this morning.

A 976 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 2: couple of points he made that I thought irrelevant that 977 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 2: you didn't quite explain yesterday. Where are the Ministry of 978 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 2: Health in this? You can't go from you know, we 979 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 2: might make a bit of a surplus to we're losing 980 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,840 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty million dollars a month without somebody somewhere, 981 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 2: i e.

Where were they? 983 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 11: Well, we expect them well where She's be honest. We 984 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 11: got advice from the Crown Observer that we had in place. 985 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 11: We put in place in the first few weeks. We've 986 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 11: had to ordered a general report, and there was the 987 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 11: annual report from the previous government which highlighted deficits. So 988 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 11: I think everybody's known that there hasn't been enough controls 989 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 11: around this organization. That is our responsibility to make sure 990 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 11: that Health New Zealand to set up for the success 991 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 11: that it needs to. With respect to the Ministry, we 992 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,919 Speaker 11: also expect them to play their part and delivering those 993 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,240 Speaker 11: five big health goals. 994 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,760 Speaker 2: With Crafts, were they well, I mean, are they awake? 995 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 11: Well, the people that are responsible is ultimately the Minister 996 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 11: and us making sure that we've got good governance of 997 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,760 Speaker 11: the major delivery organization, which is health in New Zealand. 998 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 11: We spend thirty billion dollars on health in New Zealand. 999 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 11: We've put a record amount sixteen point seven and there's 1000 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 11: plenty of money and funding. What we need is a 1001 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 11: high performing organization and the saying is it and it's 1002 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 11: not it because the organization's out of shape. There's two 1003 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 11: and a half thousand more managers and there were six 1004 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 11: years ago despite having Midge twenty day Ashbe. There's fourteen 1005 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 11: layers of management from CEO to patient. The financial performance 1006 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 11: you've talked about and frankly, you know we put more 1007 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,720 Speaker 11: money and more people and then we've got worse results 1008 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:06,439 Speaker 11: on wait times. 1009 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 2: I get all that, But when were you alluded to 1010 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 2: the fact they were losing one hundred and thirty a month. 1011 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 11: Well, it was actually in October last year previous government 1012 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 11: there was a what's called an annual report and that 1013 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 11: identified a billion dollar deficit at that point in time. 1014 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 11: Within a couple of weeks. In December eighteen or somewhere 1015 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 11: around before Christmas, chenerally put in place a crowded on 1016 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,879 Speaker 11: the board, and then we've had the Order of General 1017 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 11: Report in March.

That hasn't happened, That doesn't happen often 1045 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 11: when you do that, you want to make sure you're 1046 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 11: doing it right. 1047 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 3: You've got to. 1048 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 2: If we arrived to run the country in October and 1049 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 2: somebody told me that one hundred and thirty million dollars 1050 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 2: a month being lost, they'd be sacked on the spot. 1051 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 11: We started in early December. You know that we've worked 1052 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 11: our way for. 1053 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 3: Great I'll give you this year. 1054 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 2: They've had seven months this year to do something you've 1055 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 2: not done. You're you're supposed to be fixing this place up. 1056 00:48:59,239 --> 00:48:59,839 Speaker 2: You're too slow. 1057 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 19: Oh, come on, come on. 1058 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 11: Give me a break. They're moving at great speed here 1059 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:07,400 Speaker 11: and we're putting a place the commission who's going to 1060 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 11: have powers over twelve months to get things sorted. I've 1061 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 11: put more money into this thing. We hired more nurses 1062 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 11: than we've ever had in the last six months, we've 1063 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 11: got twenty nine hundred more nurses and we had a 1064 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,839 Speaker 11: year ago record numbers there. We've put record fund there 1065 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 11: in and we've put clear targets in place. Now I'm 1066 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 11: just making sure the organization is ruthlessly going to deliver 1067 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 11: against that. 1068 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 2: Why a commissioner in the specific set of circumstances as 1069 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 2: opposed to say, Simon mutat kying or a pull a 1070 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 2: Benett farming. 1071 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 11: Because of more urgency, more intensity is what we want. 1072 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,920 Speaker 11: You know, everyone you talk to in the system will 1073 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 11: just say, look, I'm on the front line of the system. 1074 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 11: I want a yeses or no from my management whether 1075 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,719 Speaker 11: I can do something or not, and I get a 1076 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 11: non decision and mush. And that is because there is 1077 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 11: this layers and layers of management. And I'll tell you 1078 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 11: why it happens. And it's happened across the board with 1079 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 11: all the other TPOO Kinger and the disability services as 1080 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,720 Speaker 11: they took the twenty DHBs and they whacked in massive 1081 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 11: layers of management over the top, and that just has 1082 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 11: calcified and slowed everything down. We need to mot decision 1083 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 11: making back to the front line as quickly as we 1084 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 11: can reduce that span between the decision makers and the 1085 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 11: front line, and you know it's just been classic botched restructure. 1086 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,040 Speaker 11: And so you know, that's why the Commissioner has to 1087 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 11: go in with real strong powers to actually be sort 1088 00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 11: of very very directive to get a different set of 1089 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 11: results and outcomes very quickly. We need that organizational model 1090 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 11: to be really sorted. You can't have layers of management 1091 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,880 Speaker 11: like that and bureaucracy. We need the finances to be 1092 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 11: delivered because we've put record amounts of money in and 1093 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 11: I'm not putting good money into a bad organization. I'm 1094 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,759 Speaker 11: expecting a great organization to deliver the results we want 1095 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:34,479 Speaker 11: to see with that cash. 1096 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 2: Meridian yesterday, for the second time in a couple of weeks, 1097 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 2: ask to you why to tone down their power usage? 1098 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 2: Why don't we have enough electricity in New Zealand in 1099 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. 1100 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 11: Well, one of the challenges we've got is we've got 1101 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 11: some challenges around gas in particular, which is causing but 1102 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,400 Speaker 11: that is a really gas short ball is actually a reality, 1103 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,280 Speaker 11: and it is causing energy and security. That's a major 1104 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 11: problem for us and a major concern. We've started to 1105 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 11: talk about it in the last few months. But that's 1106 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 11: why we've got to repeal the oil and gas ban 1107 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 11: as a starting point. And the second thing is we 1108 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,640 Speaker 11: need we need to bubble around of electricity we've got 1109 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 11: in this country to be renewables. That investment will come, 1110 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,240 Speaker 11: but there are moments in time when obviously it's challenging 1111 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 11: and you have to choke back to you that has 1112 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 11: always happened in the New Zealand. 1113 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,359 Speaker 2: Electricity does make it right. 1114 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,200 Speaker 11: It doesn't make it right. But I just say to you, 1115 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,040 Speaker 11: and when I look around the world and I see 1116 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 11: mass of failures of energy sectors around the world, ours 1117 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 11: is barely tidy. Not perfect, but barely tidy. We need 1118 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,879 Speaker 11: a lot more investment. That's why we're doing fast trait 1119 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 11: to get stuff actually else, particularly in the energy space 1120 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 11: and a renewable space. That's why we're repealing the oil 1121 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 11: and gas ban because we need gas. We're going to 1122 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 11: need it for a period of time. It's going to 1123 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,800 Speaker 11: be ten to fifteen percent of our energy mix. And 1124 00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:47,719 Speaker 11: you know, when you're doing an oil and gas ban 1125 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 11: and all of a sudden, no one's getting gas out 1126 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 11: and we need it for a number of places, it's 1127 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 11: a problem. 1128 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,080 Speaker 2: It just it sends all the wrong signals for a 1129 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,879 Speaker 2: government that's trying to And this isn't your fault. I'm 1130 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 2: just saying for a government's trying to rebuild this country 1131 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,919 Speaker 2: and has a productivity issue when you're constantly asking people 1132 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 2: to do less, that's not a business model. 1133 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 11: No, No, I agree, I agree. But the historical model 1134 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 11: is with the big load that t Y puts on 1135 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 11: and he's doing electricity system. You know, there has always 1136 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 11: been choking at key peak times. 1137 00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 2: Nobody's ought to make more power. Nobody thought, I know, 1138 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 2: we'll build another dam or put some windmills in a 1139 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 2: year a pounds you know, yep and yep, no. 1140 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 11: And that's what that's what we're really hard to do. 1141 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,560 Speaker 11: But how do you get stuff done? Like I mean, 1142 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 11: you can't take eight years to consent a wind farm 1143 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,279 Speaker 11: and two years to build it and ten years before 1144 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:35,879 Speaker 11: we've got the benefit of it. You've got to say 1145 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,400 Speaker 11: that's a one year challenge and two years to build it. 1146 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 11: We get it in three years. So we haven't helped 1147 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 11: ourselves by being wrestling very strategic about. 1148 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 2: What we need. Are half a dozen commissioners in this 1149 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 2: country to kick some mass and get this place going 1150 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 2: and enough of the democracy. I mean, look at Tower 1151 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 2: on or over the weekend. You see that thirty one 1152 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,359 Speaker 2: percent turnover. People don't want democracy, do they? When given 1153 00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,720 Speaker 2: the opportunity, they can't be bothered? 1154 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 11: Well, look, I'll always send up for little democracy. I 1155 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 11: agree with you like it can be a hell of 1156 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,320 Speaker 11: a lot better. My major focus is I think, you know, 1157 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 11: particularly central government which I'm responsible for, needs to deliver 1158 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 11: a hell of a lot better than it has been. 1159 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 11: And that's because you need to focus on the New 1160 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 11: Zealand people. You need to focus on outcomes and results. 1161 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 11: And I can tell you our culture change is happening 1162 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 11: here in Wellingcoln. We need to get our CEO's understanding 1163 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 11: and our cheers and our boards understanding. You have a 1164 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 11: massive responsibility to deliver results from New Zealanders. That's why 1165 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 11: you've seen us make interventions and KO. That's why you've 1166 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,400 Speaker 11: seen us make interventions and Health New Zealand MZTA are 1167 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,360 Speaker 11: other places as well.

And it's ridiculous. The whole 1226 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,960 Speaker 2: thing that was absurd. But the power industry argue that 1227 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 2: by having that on the books, they didn't want to 1228 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,000 Speaker 2: invest in anything because that was so big, So gargantu 1229 00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 2: and what was the point. Now that's gone, they can 1230 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,359 Speaker 2: allegedly get on that. All of this just takes time. 1231 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 2: That's the fall that aspect of that.

But I am worried that they knew about 1239 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 2: this in the latter part of last year and didn't 1240 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,280 Speaker 2: really do much about it. At one hundred and thirty 1241 00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 2: million dollars a month, it's not like they had the 1242 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,839 Speaker 2: money to burn is at nine Away from eight. 1243 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 3: The Mike Hostle Breakfast with Jaguar News, Tom. 1244 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 2: Sedb wait for an answer before you start talking, Mike, 1245 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,680 Speaker 2: you're better than this.

He's going to have a word 1262 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 2: with David anyway. Let me get to this this morning 1263 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,920 Speaker 2: teens involved inness, Why they're changing the law on justice? 1264 00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 2: So a teen involved in a service station armed robbery 1265 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 2: has got sixty five percent discount in court starting point 1266 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 2: four years ten months. This is a Nauru Ruben sentenced 1267 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,680 Speaker 2: to four months home D four months a bit of 1268 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,120 Speaker 2: armed robbery, but four months home D. A loss of 1269 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 2: more than fourteen thousand dollars in the robbery. This is 1270 00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 2: at the Thames Gull service station back in January of 1271 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: this year, charged with aggravated robbery, maximum prison term of 1272 00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,840 Speaker 2: fourteen years. Was he going to get fourteen years? Of 1273 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 2: course he wasn't and lawfully also getting into a motor vehicle. 1274 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:06,520 Speaker 2: So Judge Denise Clark starting point of four years ten months. 1275 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 2: So although you can get fourteen years, she decided starting 1276 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,439 Speaker 2: at four years and ten months was a good place 1277 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 2: to be. The council Sasha Neppe successfully convinced her not 1278 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 2: to send the team to prison. Judge Clark got to 1279 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 2: an n jail term of eight months in prison, but 1280 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 2: because it was a term of prison under two years 1281 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:29,160 Speaker 2: eligibly eligible to be converted into home D. So you 1282 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 2: can see why he of very clearly they need to 1283 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 2: do something about that. So the law that they want 1284 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,480 Speaker 2: to pass still needs to be passed with the House 1285 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 2: judges restricted from imposing no more than forty percent worth 1286 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 2: of discounts sixty five percent in this case, why didn't 1287 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,840 Speaker 2: they just make it a good, good old winter sale, 1288 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 2: make it ninety percent. Why don't you make it ninety 1289 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 2: percent discount and have one free. It comes into effect 1290 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 2: hopefully by next year. And you cannot tell me, Judge 1291 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,440 Speaker 2: Denise Clark, that a sixty five percent discount for a 1292 00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 2: bitter home D for an aggravated robbery is acceptable in 1293 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four when you know what the community thinks 1294 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 2: about these things? 1295 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: What the big news Bold Opinions, the Mike Hosking Breakfast 1296 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 1: with Jaguar, the Art of Performance News togs edb bit a. 1297 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,560 Speaker 2: Seven past table in the past twenty four hours, and 1298 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 2: the US President says quit the election race to Kamala 1299 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 2: Harris team seems to have cemented some real support and 1300 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,520 Speaker 2: a lot of money. So where does this race go now? 1301 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 2: Mark Gilbert was the US Ambassador to this country between 1302 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen and twenty seventeen, nominated, of course, by President Obama. 1303 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,240 Speaker 2: He is a longtime friend of Joe Biden. Say some 1304 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,240 Speaker 2: real insight now, Mirk Gilbert is with us. 1305 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 20: Mike Morning, Good morning the Order. 1306 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:40,919 Speaker 2: I was going to ask you about the last couple 1307 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 2: of days. Let's go back a week to Butler and 1308 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 2: encompass all of that. What do you make of what's 1309 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 2: happening in your country. 1310 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 5: It's a real tragedy. And something I spoke about when 1311 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 5: I was in New Zealand is we have what I 1312 00:59:55,680 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 5: believe are inappropriate gun laws for any country, and I 1313 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 5: do believe in people's right to bear arms, but there's 1314 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:09,360 Speaker 5: no reason for anyone to need a military style rifle. 1315 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:13,880 Speaker 2: When President Biden spoke of taking the temperature down, did 1316 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 2: you believe that that was possible? Do you still believe 1317 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 2: that's possible or he was hopeful? 1318 01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 11: I do not. 1319 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 5: I know that it's something that the president cares about. 1320 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 5: It's something that he had always cared about. Thirty plus 1321 01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 5: years ago. He was the first one to get through 1322 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 5: gun laws to reduce the kind of arms that are 1323 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 5: not needed for hunting. Or for self protection, and during 1324 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 5: the ten years that that law was in effect, we 1325 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:47,880 Speaker 5: saw a dramatic decline in those kinds of shootings here 1326 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 5: in the US. And although he was able to pass 1327 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 5: very significant gun laws, it's still not where we should be. 1328 01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 2: When he asked to take the temperature down and it wasn't. 1329 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 2: It lasted about three and a half minutes. What's gone 1330 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:07,479 Speaker 2: wrong with American politics that it is this visceral Well. 1331 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 5: I think our politics have become performative, and because of 1332 01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 5: social media, many politicians believe by saying something outrageous, something 1333 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 5: you know that will catch the attention and get many 1334 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 5: likes and have many people watch. They see that as 1335 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:35,920 Speaker 5: a way of gaining name recognition, and they believe that 1336 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 5: it helps them politically. I personally think it's terrible for 1337 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 5: our system and we need to get back to where 1338 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 5: we were, where we had two outstanding parties with great 1339 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 5: people with good ideas who work together to pass the 1340 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:57,880 Speaker 5: best legislation for our country, and today we are nowhere 1341 01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 5: near there. 1342 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 2: Now is that the view of most Americans? Have I 1343 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 2: rounded up, you're in pa City, Utah. If I round 1344 01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 2: up the first hundred people I find, would they broadly speaking, 1345 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 2: no matter what side they're on, tell me the same thing. 1346 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 5: Utah is a very interesting place. It's probably seventy to 1347 01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 5: eighty percent Mormon, and although it's a very conservative state, 1348 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,720 Speaker 5: people here really care about other people. And the temperature 1349 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 5: of the politics that you see in Utah is very 1350 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 5: different than you will see in many red states around 1351 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 5: the country. The governor of Utah, Governor Pox, has an 1352 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 5: outstanding relationship with President Biden, and the two first Ladies 1353 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 5: have a wonderful working relationship. And sure they disagree on abortion, 1354 01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,400 Speaker 5: they disagree on the border, but in mostly everything else 1355 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,800 Speaker 5: they agree because there are two people who really care 1356 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 5: about other people, and that's what's important. 1357 01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 2: So what you need to more Utahs. 1358 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,400 Speaker 5: We need more people who speak civilly to each other 1359 01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,280 Speaker 5: and work on the problem that we need to get solved. 1360 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 2: Having non President Biden, as long as you have two 1361 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,480 Speaker 2: part question One, did you think he was always going 1362 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,840 Speaker 2: to go to? Was Sunday your time of surprise? 1363 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 5: Sunday was not a surprise when President Biden ran in 1364 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,400 Speaker 5: twenty twenty, and he felt compelled to run because of 1365 01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:36,560 Speaker 5: what happened in Charlotte's felt when President Trump equated people 1366 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:41,240 Speaker 5: on both sides of being good people, and he thought 1367 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 5: compelled to run. He ran, he won. He's been an 1368 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,480 Speaker 5: incredibly successful president, but he was also always going to 1369 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:54,880 Speaker 5: be a transitional president from his generation to the next generation. 1370 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:56,800 Speaker 20: Now, I didn't know when that. 1371 01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 5: Point was going to be. But in the last month 1372 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,840 Speaker 5: here in the United States, there has not been I 1373 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 5: shouldn't say it hasn't been. There's been very little discussion 1374 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:14,240 Speaker 5: about the issues of the race. All the discussion has 1375 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 5: been about his age and help and unfortunately he was 1376 01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,360 Speaker 5: not able to change the narrative. And because of that, 1377 01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,680 Speaker 5: he felt that he needed to get the focus back 1378 01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 5: on what are the important issues for people here in 1379 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,800 Speaker 5: the United States. And I believe that's why he passed 1380 01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:35,640 Speaker 5: the torch to the vice president. 1381 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 2: They say he would be angry. Would that be your assessment? 1382 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,880 Speaker 2: Was he treated badly in these last couple of months. 1383 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 5: I think there were those who didn't treat him well. 1384 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 5: This is a man who has served the country for 1385 01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 5: fifty two years, served the country well, has been an 1386 01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 5: incredibly successful president, have significant bipartisan legislation, and that's something 1387 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:08,560 Speaker 5: that he was always known for. When I was asked 1388 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 5: the question, I believe he had earned the respect and 1389 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 5: the time to make this decision on his own, and 1390 01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,960 Speaker 5: I realized there were some you know, that were trying 1391 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 5: to force him out. I don't believe that that helped 1392 01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 5: the situation, and I believe he made the decision that 1393 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 5: he felt it was right for him, for his family 1394 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 5: and for our country. 1395 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:32,919 Speaker 2: Mike, listen, just hold on there a couple of moments. 1396 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,160 Speaker 2: We'll get to the VP rights or the presidential candidacy 1397 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,160 Speaker 2: rights in just a couple of moments. Mark Gilbert, former 1398 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:44,360 Speaker 2: Ambassador to New Zealand, thirteen past eight, The Breakfast, sixteen 1399 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,800 Speaker 2: past eight. Mark Gilbert form a US Ambassador to the 1400 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 2: New Zealand, long time friend of Joe Biden with us. 1401 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,320 Speaker 2: Now do you have Mark, do you have a view 1402 01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,960 Speaker 2: on Kamala Harris how this process should go forward or not? 1403 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:54,120 Speaker 5: Well? 1404 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 3: I do. 1405 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,919 Speaker 5: I know the Vice president and just by sheer coincident, 1406 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 5: we were hosting an event for her at our house 1407 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 5: the day after the debate, so we had her with 1408 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:08,959 Speaker 5: about two hundred and twenty five guests at her home 1409 01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:14,840 Speaker 5: for her. She was excellent. She addressed the debate. She 1410 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 5: then pivoted to the issues that the administration had worked 1411 01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:23,440 Speaker 5: on and the ones to work on going forward. I 1412 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 5: think she has grown incredibly in her three and a 1413 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,240 Speaker 5: half years as Vice president. She has traveled the world. 1414 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 5: She's met with one hundred and fifty world leaders, and 1415 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,160 Speaker 5: I believe she is the right person at this time 1416 01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 5: to carry that torch forward. 1417 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,840 Speaker 2: Depending on who she picks as a running mic, does 1418 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 2: that matter? 1419 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 5: I believe that it does. Because of the lateness of 1420 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,680 Speaker 5: the change, I think it will have more bearing than 1421 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,760 Speaker 5: it normally does. Although I will tell you the vast 1422 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 5: majority of people vote for whom's at the top of 1423 01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 5: the ticket, and where I don't believe jd Vance is 1424 01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,600 Speaker 5: added it to Donald Trump. I think he reinforces Donald 1425 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 5: Trump's policies. I think picking a senator like Mark Kelly, 1426 01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:17,200 Speaker 5: who was a fighter pilot astronaut of course stood by 1427 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,400 Speaker 5: his wife, Gabby Gifferts after she was shot, you know, 1428 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 5: more than a decade ago, in a swing state, I 1429 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 5: think he would be additive to the ticket. Or Roy Cooper, 1430 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,640 Speaker 5: a very well respected governor, well wipe on both sides 1431 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,680 Speaker 5: of the aisle from North Carolina, which will also, in 1432 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,520 Speaker 5: my opinion, be a swing state in this election. But 1433 01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 5: there are other good candidates that they're out there also. 1434 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 2: Is America ready for a woman president before you even 1435 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,440 Speaker 2: get to the fact that woman of Keller president. 1436 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:53,240 Speaker 5: If we're not, we should be. 1437 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,680 Speaker 2: That's the problem though, isn't it should be? But maybe 1438 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 2: you want, maybe you want and and is that a 1439 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 2: material issue for the party. 1440 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 5: Well when you think about it, I mean, look at 1441 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,440 Speaker 5: New Zealand. New Zealand was the first country to have 1442 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 5: a woman at the head of all the major phocisions 1443 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 5: at one time, you know, the first country to ever 1444 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:18,120 Speaker 5: have that happen. I think we're behind in that respect, 1445 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 5: but you know, we elected a female vice president for 1446 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,439 Speaker 5: the first time, so I think it is time that 1447 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:31,919 Speaker 5: we elect a female president. We have many effective female governors. 1448 01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 5: You know, women in all aspects of life have shown 1449 01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,519 Speaker 5: how they can lead. And I believe that that shouldn't 1450 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 5: be the reason why someone votes for you. They shouldn't 1451 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 5: be voting for you because of your color, because of 1452 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,759 Speaker 5: your ethnicity, because of your sex. They should be voting 1453 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,240 Speaker 5: for you because they believe that you will be the 1454 01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 5: best person to lead the country forward. And I think 1455 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 5: when you have the comparison before between the current vice 1456 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,160 Speaker 5: president and the former president, I think it's very obvious 1457 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,960 Speaker 5: you know who airs more about the people in this country. 1458 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,599 Speaker 2: As we sit and talk on this July morning, Mark, 1459 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 2: do you want to make a call for November. 1460 01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 5: I have always believed that the American people would do 1461 01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,560 Speaker 5: the right thing. Donald Trump is a danger to democracy. 1462 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 5: He's a danger to the world order. Praising authoritarian praising dictators, 1463 01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:33,760 Speaker 5: talking about how Russia should invade NATO countries. That's not 1464 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,839 Speaker 5: the kind of person that we should have leading this country. 1465 01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 5: And he is someone who only cares about himself. That's 1466 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,639 Speaker 5: why I believe the American people will vote for whomever 1467 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,360 Speaker 5: ends up being the Democratic nominee. I do believe that 1468 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,200 Speaker 5: that will be the Vice president, Kamala Harris, and I 1469 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,519 Speaker 5: do believe she'll win. One thing I'll note to you 1470 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 5: a little inside baseball in twenty twenty two in our 1471 01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 5: midterm election, and where Democrats did significantly better than anybody projected, 1472 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 5: it's because the American people stood up for democracy. Now, granted, 1473 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 5: in our House of Representatives, it was pretty tribal. If 1474 01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,479 Speaker 5: you were a Republican, you voted for the Republican in 1475 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,560 Speaker 5: your district. If you were a Democrat, you voted for 1476 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:21,640 Speaker 5: the Democrat. But when it came to statewide races for 1477 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 5: people who control the levers of democracy, whether it was 1478 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 5: the governor, of the Secretary of State or an attorney general. 1479 01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:36,000 Speaker 5: In those individual states, all of the election deniers, all 1480 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,040 Speaker 5: the people who did not promote democracy, every single one 1481 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 5: of them lost. And that made me feel good about 1482 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,960 Speaker 5: the people here in the United States that they differentiated 1483 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 5: between who cared about democracy and who didn't. And I 1484 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 5: believe those same people will stand up in November. 1485 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 2: Mike, listen, and I appreciate you time very much. And 1486 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,320 Speaker 2: inside Mike Gilbert, who's the from the US Ambassador to 1487 01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,240 Speaker 2: New Zealand appointed under President Obama. 1488 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 1: It is eight twenty one the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 1489 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Bailey's Real Estate News Talk SV. 1490 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 2: In every corner of the property market, you will see 1491 01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 2: one name, time and time again, Bailey's, of course, Bailey's 1492 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 2: Real Estate.

Bailey's have got the expertise 1495 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 2: right across the residential, the commercial, and the rural sectors. 1496 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,120 Speaker 2: They produce all together better results for the client's time 1497 01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:30,360 Speaker 2: after time.

They've 1505 01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,200 Speaker 2: done real estate differently since nineteen seventy three, and they 1506 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 2: will keep doing things all together better in every sector, 1507 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 2: for every Kiwi for the next fifty years and beyond. 1508 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,400 Speaker 2: It's a good news story. It's licensed, of course under 1509 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:00,840 Speaker 2: the RAA Act of two thousand and night. Here's where 1510 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,240 Speaker 2: you go Baileys dot Co dot Nz and you can 1511 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 2: discover the difference that is Baileys dot Co dot Nz. 1512 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,680 Speaker 2: Pasking the American politics a couple of good pieces of 1513 01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,760 Speaker 2: reading Nick Bryant yesterday in the Sydney Morning Herald Biden 1514 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 2: couldn't withstand the friendly fire, but will as self sacrifice 1515 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,839 Speaker 2: save the Democrats. He opens with a great line around 1516 01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 2: us in epic history swirls. It's very good point. Peter 1517 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 2: Hartch this morning in the same paper, and I got 1518 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,840 Speaker 2: a lot of time for Peter Harchy says, here's why 1519 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 2: Trump is still on track to win. They've done some 1520 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:34,519 Speaker 2: analysis Project five thirty eight. Harris is a slightly higher 1521 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,439 Speaker 2: chance of winning the electoral college thirty eight and one 1522 01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 2: hundred versus thirty five and one hundred, so barely. But 1523 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 2: if you look at it more comprehensibly, a full set 1524 01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:45,679 Speaker 2: of information from what they call their full forecast model, 1525 01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,080 Speaker 2: Harris does much worse than Biden across the board. Biden 1526 01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:50,719 Speaker 2: has a forty eight and one hundred chants of winning 1527 01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:53,160 Speaker 2: the electoral college. Harris only thirty one and one hundred, 1528 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:56,000 Speaker 2: so forty eight versus thirty one. That's a material difference. 1529 01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 2: Three liabilities, He writes, she was in the administration and 1530 01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,680 Speaker 2: was had special responsibility for the illegal immigration that's been 1531 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 2: a disaster. She's fifty nine, so not decrepit. A pro 1532 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,560 Speaker 2: Trunk group launched to television ad should look at it, 1533 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 2: says that Harris covered up Joe Biden's obvious mental decline, So, 1534 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:19,599 Speaker 2: in other words, she's culpable. Third if her identity as 1535 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,720 Speaker 2: an Asian African Afro American woman, as potential advantage. With 1536 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 2: some constituencies, the loss of a white man from a 1537 01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 2: working class background is also a disadvantage, so it is 1538 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:34,040 Speaker 2: not clear whether she actually changes much. She's a circuit breaker. 1539 01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,880 Speaker 2: But Peter argues that's about as good as it gets. 1540 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,679 Speaker 2: The Democrats have changed this situation, that is not yet 1541 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,800 Speaker 2: evidence that they've improved it. So his summation is it 1542 01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:46,320 Speaker 2: is and its mind too that it is still Biden's 1543 01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:50,000 Speaker 2: to lose. Nick Brant, not surprisingly, perhaps takes a slightly 1544 01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 2: different view depending on how things unfold. For basically, for Biden, 1545 01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,040 Speaker 2: he may well be seen as one of the greats 1546 01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,280 Speaker 2: by the end of the day if this particular move 1547 01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 2: pays off news for you next and then we will 1548 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:03,320 Speaker 2: go to the UK and. 1549 01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:09,840 Speaker 1: Rod your trusted source for news and fews the mic 1550 01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 1: asking breakfast with Bailey's real estate doing real estate differently 1551 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,200 Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy three, news togsadb. 1552 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,439 Speaker 2: Well the wars yesterday and what's happened in America is 1553 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 2: Netnyahoo had saved them because Trump advance are so on 1554 01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,839 Speaker 2: Israel's side, it's not funny, So that's good news for Israel. 1555 01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 2: On the other side of the war, they're so not 1556 01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,560 Speaker 2: on Ukraine side. It's not funny. And so if I 1557 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:40,040 Speaker 2: was Zelenski, I'd be absolutely beside myself with fear as 1558 01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,040 Speaker 2: to what's going to happen should Trump win the election. 1559 01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:45,720 Speaker 2: And to add to that, Germany has announced in the 1560 01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,040 Speaker 2: last couple of days they're planning to harve their military 1561 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 2: aid for Ukraine. This is Germany, this is part of NATO, 1562 01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,680 Speaker 2: this is Europe, this is their neighbor. They're going to 1563 01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:55,800 Speaker 2: harve the amount of money they give. No one's given 1564 01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:58,760 Speaker 2: more than America. But the defense budget for next year 1565 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:00,960 Speaker 2: is going to be raised by one point three billion 1566 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 2: euros to fifty three billion euros. But despite that, because 1567 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:08,599 Speaker 2: of course, everyone's under pressure to pay their way in NATO, 1568 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 2: because they think if Trump wins, there's no way in 1569 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,200 Speaker 2: American way in the hell, America is going to be 1570 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,360 Speaker 2: paying what they pay currently to NATO. So everyone's going 1571 01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:16,360 Speaker 2: to have to stump up. But in stomping up to NATO, 1572 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 2: they're not stomping up to the Ukraine. So America pulls 1573 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:21,880 Speaker 2: upin on Ukraine. Germany's pulling the pin to a degree 1574 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,639 Speaker 2: on the Ukraine. Lord knows what the rest of NATO 1575 01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 2: and Europe are doing. But if I was Zelenski, I'd 1576 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,280 Speaker 2: be absolutely fearful. If I Wasntnyah who I'd be laughing 1577 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 2: Ironica twenty two minutes away. 1578 01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:35,400 Speaker 15: From nine International correspondence with ends in eye insurance peace 1579 01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:36,880 Speaker 15: of mind for New Zealand business. 1580 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,040 Speaker 2: WoT can we go ron a little very good morning 1581 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:42,559 Speaker 2: to you mate. We don't normally dabble in the tabloid 1582 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 2: end of the spectrum, but this strictly come dancing thing 1583 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 2: where gian Carlo or Gianni or whatever his name is 1584 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 2: got booted out, that there seems to have been this 1585 01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 2: ongoing investigation which which will not die, and an endless 1586 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:57,840 Speaker 2: series of complaints, and now this morning's headline, I note 1587 01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 2: with a great deal of interest, is the possibility that 1588 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:03,560 Speaker 2: it may not survive as a program. How real is this? 1589 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:04,800 Speaker 2: How serious is this? 1590 01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:05,280 Speaker 6: Oh? 1591 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 19: It may be wishful thinking on my part, but I 1592 01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 19: think it's very very possible and probably likely because it's 1593 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,800 Speaker 19: not just the story which you alluded to, which is 1594 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:21,880 Speaker 19: about his irascible and sexist behavior and bullying behavior and 1595 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 19: so on. It's also other people coming onto the closet 1596 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:27,320 Speaker 19: and say, well, actually this happened to me and I 1597 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:32,120 Speaker 19: was bullied even the Great Explorancity backle So that athlete 1598 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:35,720 Speaker 19: was said that he'd been bullied by a woman and 1599 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:40,960 Speaker 19: was roundly mocked for what he said. And this is 1600 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 19: the way these things tend to work. I don't know, 1601 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 19: do you have strictly over there. 1602 01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 15: We don't have. 1603 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 2: We have our version of it, but that got canceled 1604 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:48,800 Speaker 2: because no one watched it. 1605 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:53,679 Speaker 19: Well, what a commendable nature you are. I've never quite 1606 01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,960 Speaker 19: seen the point of it. But this is the way 1607 01:16:57,040 --> 01:16:59,519 Speaker 19: this thing tends to go, which is it's snowballs and 1608 01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,360 Speaker 19: snowballs more and more people come out of the closet 1609 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,400 Speaker 19: and say, well, actually someone asked me to go for 1610 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 19: a coffee in their room the other day, and I 1611 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 19: thought that was a bit much. And it just grows 1612 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:15,799 Speaker 19: into this ball of hatred and fury and gets canceled 1613 01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:19,760 Speaker 19: when the BBC thinks it's, you know, more trouble that 1614 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,160 Speaker 19: it's worth. I do wonder a little bit, because I've 1615 01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 19: presented a few documentaries and being on a couple of 1616 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,040 Speaker 19: quiz shows and all that kind of thing, if it's 1617 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 19: not something to do with the nature of television that 1618 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:38,639 Speaker 19: tends to accacerbate these things. I mean, you are there 1619 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 19: in the spotlight and you begin to think you're the 1620 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 19: only person in the world. It's an extraordinarily narcissistic genre. 1621 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 19: And it seems to me that the behavior of some 1622 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:51,200 Speaker 19: of these people is exactly I remember the first time 1623 01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,800 Speaker 19: I did television, and I was a perfectly normal human being, 1624 01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,439 Speaker 19: and I was waiting in the spotlight, ready to do 1625 01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,920 Speaker 19: my bit, and I've suddenly heard myself, can someone get 1626 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 19: me a glass of chilled white wine? 1627 01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:02,920 Speaker 3: Please? 1628 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 19: And I thought, you have turned into a tossa in 1629 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:12,040 Speaker 19: two minutes. Two minutes. So I think there's something of 1630 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 19: that in it. If it goes. It is extraordinarily popular 1631 01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 19: watching celebs do things, whether it be God help us, baking, sewing, 1632 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:26,479 Speaker 19: or dancing, seems to be incredibly popular. I do not 1633 01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:28,640 Speaker 19: I cannot fathom why that is. 1634 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,840 Speaker 2: It's a weird. It's a weird all business. Tell me 1635 01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 2: where we're at with the Tory leadership, any progress or not? 1636 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:36,400 Speaker 19: No, not really. It's been a very quiet weekend with 1637 01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:39,800 Speaker 19: all the focus of attention on America, which is of 1638 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:44,040 Speaker 19: course very important for the Labor Party. And my suspicion 1639 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 19: is at the Labor Party are now gagging for Kamala 1640 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:53,160 Speaker 19: Abs to somehow to somehow win not really the nomination 1641 01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 19: but also the presidency, given that so many members of 1642 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:01,840 Speaker 19: the Labor team have very very bad relationships indeed with 1643 01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:06,400 Speaker 19: Donald Trump. So that's taken up most of the of 1644 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,799 Speaker 19: the bandwidth, as people say these days. But there are movements. 1645 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 19: I don't know, did I mention Tom Twogan have to y? Yeah, 1646 01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,720 Speaker 19: I think that that's growing a little bit. And it's 1647 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,400 Speaker 19: always the case, you know, we started out on this 1648 01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:24,000 Speaker 19: process which hasn't actually been announced or sorted out yet, 1649 01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,800 Speaker 19: but we started out on this process with Kenny Badenoch 1650 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:31,760 Speaker 19: and Suel Braverman and perhaps pretty Patel, all of them 1651 01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:35,719 Speaker 19: from the right of the party, taking votes, probably taking 1652 01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,920 Speaker 19: votes off each other, and giving credence to the fact 1653 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:43,400 Speaker 19: that the front runner never wins the Conservative Party leadership election. 1654 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,160 Speaker 19: And so my guess is, if I have to make 1655 01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,720 Speaker 19: a guess now, it will be someone who kind of 1656 01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:54,280 Speaker 19: shape shifts between various poles of the Conservative Party rather 1657 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:57,880 Speaker 19: than is outright someone from the right or someone from 1658 01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:58,240 Speaker 19: the left. 1659 01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,519 Speaker 2: Have I got a talent problem? I'm reading over the 1660 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,599 Speaker 2: weekend that four and ten of them have now got 1661 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,720 Speaker 2: front front bench roll. So diminished in numbers are they 1662 01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:07,439 Speaker 2: is there is there a fair assessment. 1663 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,519 Speaker 19: Yes it is, I mean, but then you might arsk 1664 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,439 Speaker 19: you with some force that they had a talent problem 1665 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:19,799 Speaker 19: even before the last election. You know, I think generally speaking, 1666 01:20:20,479 --> 01:20:22,960 Speaker 19: I think the Labor Party front bench is pretty competent 1667 01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,880 Speaker 19: and there's some good names on there. But by and 1668 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 19: large I think British politics has a talent problem. And 1669 01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 19: part of it is the odium in which politicians are 1670 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:37,000 Speaker 19: held by the general public, often an unfair odium. And 1671 01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:38,759 Speaker 19: part of it is the fact that they get paid 1672 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,640 Speaker 19: seven to sixth of nothing. You know, it is not 1673 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,640 Speaker 19: an attractive job to go into. So yes, there is 1674 01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:47,680 Speaker 19: a talent problem, and there's certainly a talent problem in 1675 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 19: the in the Tory benches. 1676 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,479 Speaker 2: And just quickly rob before we rep since we last talked, 1677 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,720 Speaker 2: Leeds blew up, of course, And is that because it's 1678 01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,680 Speaker 2: leads or because it was just a one off or 1679 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:02,120 Speaker 2: have we got something bit serious under the skin there 1680 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 2: that needs to be watched. 1681 01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,160 Speaker 19: Well you would probably be better place to find out 1682 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,439 Speaker 19: than I would, because I'm telling you, mate, I read 1683 01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:15,880 Speaker 19: about forty newspaper pieces about these riots in Leads and 1684 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 19: I could not work out who was doing them. Nobody 1685 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:24,720 Speaker 19: would say we've found out since that it's probably the 1686 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 19: Roma community, but nobody would say this, and so that 1687 01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 19: is what I think will be the main problem which 1688 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 19: continues beyond once this is cleared up, that this reluctance 1689 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,720 Speaker 19: to a portion blame, the reluctance to say what the 1690 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 19: real cause was caused this enormous resentment, and there's enormous 1691 01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,280 Speaker 19: resentment in Leeds at the moment that the correct people 1692 01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:54,280 Speaker 19: haven't been fingered for this particular atrocity which it was, 1693 01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 19: you know, and you would hope there's a photograph absolutely 1694 01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,240 Speaker 19: couldn't be clear of a bloke seting fire to a bus. 1695 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 19: One expects him to be in court soon, but also 1696 01:22:04,800 --> 01:22:05,920 Speaker 19: kind of one, doesn't. 1697 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:06,600 Speaker 3: You know. 1698 01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:10,200 Speaker 19: The police took a very softly, subtly approach to this 1699 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,439 Speaker 19: riot and there will be questions asked about that as well. 1700 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,879 Speaker 2: Good stuff might go well and we'll see you Thursday. 1701 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,280 Speaker 2: As regards the American situation, from the British point of view, 1702 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,599 Speaker 2: Keir Starmer on on Biden and Harris. 1703 01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,240 Speaker 21: I respect the decision that he has now made, not 1704 01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,320 Speaker 21: an easy decision, but a decision that I know that 1705 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:32,120 Speaker 21: he will have arrived at taking into account the best 1706 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,840 Speaker 21: interests of the American people. We will work with whoever 1707 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:39,400 Speaker 21: the American people elect into office, as you would expect, 1708 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,760 Speaker 21: particularly given the nature of the special relationship between our 1709 01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 21: two countries. 1710 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:49,439 Speaker 2: And you can't argue with them. Eight forty five twelve 1711 01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,240 Speaker 2: away from nine. And that the bloke who is sort 1712 01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,559 Speaker 2: of seeming in charge of road cones. Yesterday we talked 1713 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 2: to Wayne Brown, the mire of Auckland, who had done 1714 01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:59,960 Speaker 2: a report by E. Y Ustant Young into road cone 1715 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:02,120 Speaker 2: and what they needed to do was change the law 1716 01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,360 Speaker 2: and it wasn't on and the incentive was there just 1717 01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 2: to muck around and cost us more and waste more time. Anyway, 1718 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 2: the bloke who's in chargeable of the sort of the 1719 01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:15,640 Speaker 2: traffics TRFXIX traffics like a rap artist. Really, isn't it 1720 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:17,200 Speaker 2: that sort of name? They've gone, Hey, why don't we 1721 01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:22,599 Speaker 2: call ourselves traffic nah traffics. Anyway, he said, the report's wrong. 1722 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:28,320 Speaker 2: Them ttms are people who sort of subcontract their temporary 1723 01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:32,200 Speaker 2: traffic manage contractors. They subcontract to the job that at 1724 01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 2: Auckland Transport are doing. His claim is at any time 1725 01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:39,000 Speaker 2: Auckland Transport can say and do whatever they want. They 1726 01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 2: can review they can approve. So what Wayne Brown is 1727 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,880 Speaker 2: doing yet again is blaming at probably correctly. But the 1728 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,760 Speaker 2: problem with the whole system is eight doesn't care. They're 1729 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,280 Speaker 2: not interested in what an elected official has to say. 1730 01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,800 Speaker 2: They do their own thing, so they review whatever they 1731 01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:54,920 Speaker 2: want to do, and they just go to TTM and go, hey, 1732 01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 2: we want nine million road cones and we want sixteen 1733 01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 2: thousand people leaning on shovel and we'll have that go 1734 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 2: for eighteen years please, And that'll cost us forty seven 1735 01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:07,080 Speaker 2: billion dollars, he says, this bloke at TTM, he said, 1736 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 2: and he makes a reasonable point to the extent that 1737 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 2: everybody thinks. And he says there is a narrative, and 1738 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:15,080 Speaker 2: he's correct. There was a narrative in the media that 1739 01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 2: ttm's charged by the CONE when ttms charge for staff 1740 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 2: costs and tructor regionality rate for the job. So in 1741 01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,280 Speaker 2: other words, it's all part of the package. When you 1742 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,200 Speaker 2: hire the painter, you don't hire or pay for paint brushes. 1743 01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:29,120 Speaker 2: You just hire the bloke to paint the house. What 1744 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 2: he's saying is you hire us to do their job, 1745 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,880 Speaker 2: and we've already got the cone. So this whole Cone 1746 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:37,479 Speaker 2: per our thing is bollocks. My only advice to him 1747 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,320 Speaker 2: would be, if there is a narrative in the media 1748 01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,240 Speaker 2: that isn't correct, do something about it. Give me a 1749 01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 2: call and say, look, this is bollocks and we can 1750 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,880 Speaker 2: correct it. But because there is a genuine belief that 1751 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:48,800 Speaker 2: they hire out by the cone and therefore the more 1752 01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 2: cones they put out, the more money spent. But clearly 1753 01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 2: Wayne's having a go at at at aren't listening. Therefore 1754 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:59,400 Speaker 2: one can say is to say, probably conclude that the 1755 01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:02,679 Speaker 2: report by Ey sadly yet again is a waste of money. 1756 01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:07,679 Speaker 2: Night Away from nine, the My Costing Breakfast on air 1757 01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 2: and on radio news talks, they'd be We're excited for 1758 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:14,200 Speaker 2: Spring Sheep, which is a Wycato company. They have been 1759 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 2: given clearance and it's very rare and hard to get 1760 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:21,360 Speaker 2: clearance into China only in fact, the second international sheep 1761 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:25,639 Speaker 2: milk brand in the world. To get direct market access, 1762 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,519 Speaker 2: these currently got to do it through these Daiku channels 1763 01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 2: and it all becomes convoluted and complicated, But nevertheless they've 1764 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,559 Speaker 2: got direct access directly import and distribute their infant formula 1765 01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,160 Speaker 2: into China. We're talking about food labeling and stuff yesterday 1766 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,160 Speaker 2: and we've got problems with China and Chidam's got problems 1767 01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,640 Speaker 2: generally with their economy, but they've got fifteen supplies and 1768 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,679 Speaker 2: they've got their product and that market, the infant formula 1769 01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,439 Speaker 2: market in China, by the way, is worth twenty eight 1770 01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:55,680 Speaker 2: billion dollars a year, and Spring Sheep have got a 1771 01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,640 Speaker 2: bit of the action, so good luck to them. How 1772 01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 2: it goes well. Six away from nine. 1773 01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:03,240 Speaker 1: Trending now with the Chemist Warehouse, the home of big 1774 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 1: brand vitamins. 1775 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 2: The IF one yesterday it was just so good. It 1776 01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:11,960 Speaker 2: was phenomenal. A couple of key stories, Max not doing 1777 01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,599 Speaker 2: well and Landa getting a bit upset that he got 1778 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 2: told to give the race to p Spree. Anyway, someone 1779 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,840 Speaker 2: did the super cut of Max's radio comms uh post 1780 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 2: the crash with Lewis and it's gone off. 1781 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 14: Love it. 1782 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:30,080 Speaker 3: Don't give me up, you guys give me this, Okay, 1783 01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:31,680 Speaker 3: I'm trying to rescue. What's up? 1784 01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:35,120 Speaker 14: I find a start break by. 1785 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:41,000 Speaker 9: So to take this doesn't it's unbelievable, it's quite impressively. 1786 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:48,280 Speaker 3: We let herself get undercut. It's justly race. Yeah, we've 1787 01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:51,280 Speaker 3: done a breaking I'm not even gonna get into a 1788 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:55,439 Speaker 3: radio file for the other teams. Max, We'll let it's 1789 01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,160 Speaker 3: childish on the radio. Childish did you leave the cast 1790 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:01,280 Speaker 3: that you were behind at the Apex? 1791 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:02,519 Speaker 11: Max ok. 1792 01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:07,120 Speaker 2: To be fair to him, the strategy was crap and 1793 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 2: they did cock it up. And but he's a whiney baby. 1794 01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 2: Not helping was the fact he stayed up all night 1795 01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,439 Speaker 2: on the SIM trying to practice and he was tired 1796 01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:17,599 Speaker 2: and grumpy. So there was that part. Then after the race, 1797 01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,720 Speaker 2: the top three, one, two and three do this podcast, 1798 01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:22,600 Speaker 2: and Lando was still sulking. 1799 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 8: Seven years ago. You have a quick compy, so I wasn't. 1800 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 3: Bass. 1801 01:27:42,080 --> 01:27:44,960 Speaker 2: So that was between Lando and Lewis. Have a look 1802 01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:46,599 Speaker 2: if you can be bothered. But they have a big 1803 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 2: team photo at the end of it, all the entire team, 1804 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,800 Speaker 2: and they're waiting for Piastre to arrive because he's last 1805 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,759 Speaker 2: to ARRIVEE have a look at Lando's face when Piastre 1806 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 2: arrives for the team photo. And Lando, although he held 1807 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,640 Speaker 2: it together publicly reasonably well in his quiet moments, he 1808 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,960 Speaker 2: was ropable. But once again he's wrong. The team strategy 1809 01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:09,720 Speaker 2: was that they pitted the appropriate driver at the appropriate 1810 01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:13,240 Speaker 2: time and because of that, Pstre paid a price for it. 1811 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:14,960 Speaker 2: Therefore he had to get given the place back in 1812 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,120 Speaker 2: despite the fact that Nando was not only leading but 1813 01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 2: increasing his lead because he's a better driver and he 1814 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,599 Speaker 2: had a faster car. It nevertheless was Pstre's to win. 1815 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:26,760 Speaker 2: And so what I didn't realize. Mark Webber, who you 1816 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,000 Speaker 2: may well remember the name, looks after Mitt Chibbins and 1817 01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:33,600 Speaker 2: he wasn't there yesterday because he looks after Pstre. He 1818 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 2: wasn't with Pstre because he was looking after Mitgibbins in London. 1819 01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:40,920 Speaker 2: So small world, as they say, back tomorrow morning on 1820 01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,439 Speaker 2: the mic Asking Breakfast as always Happy days. 1821 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,840 Speaker 1: For more from The mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 1822 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 1: news talks it'd be from six am weekdays, or follow 1823 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:53,640 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
