Speaker 3: look well. Thank you. How about this for the height

8
00:00:28,013 --> 00:00:32,013
Speaker 3: of irony? What last Friday we were discussing on the

9
00:00:32,013 --> 00:00:34,493
Speaker 3: back of a Facebook post that went nuts online in

10
00:00:34,573 --> 00:00:37,013
Speaker 3: Canterbury about whether it's okay to pick daffodils from the

11
00:00:37,013 --> 00:00:42,693
Speaker 3: public where this huge discussion it blew up online. I

12
00:00:42,853 --> 00:00:45,773
Speaker 3: go on Father's Day with my children and grandchildren to

13
00:00:45,853 --> 00:00:50,453
Speaker 3: the gardens, the Botanic Gardens and Christchurch. Right, Sam, my

14
00:00:50,493 --> 00:00:52,573
Speaker 3: eldest daughter, says, let's go and take some photos within

15
00:00:52,573 --> 00:00:54,093
Speaker 3: the dafodils with all the kidsick.

16
00:00:54,773 --> 00:00:56,693
Speaker 4: Definitive gardens that they're famous for it.

17
00:00:57,013 --> 00:01:01,653
Speaker 3: And it's beautiful. There's like a million daffodils. Now, this

18
00:01:01,853 --> 00:01:05,133
Speaker 3: is hand on heart gospel truth. What There was lots

19
00:01:05,173 --> 00:01:08,213
Speaker 3: of deafinitil heads that had been packed by obviously little kids,

20
00:01:08,213 --> 00:01:10,613
Speaker 3: and there was trample marks around the big beds of

21
00:01:10,693 --> 00:01:13,653
Speaker 3: daffodils where people were having the photographs. That's a little so.

22
00:01:14,453 --> 00:01:18,453
Speaker 3: Miller is three, Zeb is like one and a half.

23
00:01:18,893 --> 00:01:21,533
Speaker 3: And I gave them some daffodil heads off the ground.

24
00:01:21,613 --> 00:01:23,733
Speaker 3: I ordinarily would have picked them, but because there was

25
00:01:23,773 --> 00:01:26,013
Speaker 3: so much pushback on front of the not picked dafitils,

26
00:01:26,053 --> 00:01:27,133
Speaker 3: you get hung, drawn and courted.

27
00:01:27,173 --> 00:01:29,653
Speaker 4: But these were daffodils that were broken off and on

28
00:01:29,693 --> 00:01:33,093
Speaker 4: the ground. Gave them to the little kiddies. They go, thanks, chief.

29
00:01:33,413 --> 00:01:35,453
Speaker 4: Well Zeb didn't because he can't talk, he's one and

30
00:01:35,453 --> 00:01:41,493
Speaker 4: a half. Then this woman, what bowl, she Karen, comes.

31
00:01:41,293 --> 00:01:46,133
Speaker 3: Up and she remonstrates and says, don't you give those

32
00:01:46,213 --> 00:01:49,813
Speaker 3: children like full noise, really saying that to you? To

33
00:01:49,853 --> 00:01:54,373
Speaker 3: me right? And I said, ah a, we didn't pick them, right,

34
00:01:54,893 --> 00:01:56,253
Speaker 3: So were you listening to the radio on Friday?

35
00:01:56,333 --> 00:01:57,093
Speaker 5: Lady?

36
00:01:57,933 --> 00:02:00,333
Speaker 3: We didn't pick them on the ground. And then my

37
00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:02,933
Speaker 3: daughters arcd up a bit and they said, hey, excuse me,

38
00:02:03,053 --> 00:02:05,293
Speaker 3: we didn't pick these, and she would not look back up.

39
00:02:05,773 --> 00:02:09,973
Speaker 3: She was just like and then afterward said we didn't

40
00:02:09,973 --> 00:02:12,973
Speaker 3: pick them. After my daughter had said, my children, I've

41
00:02:13,013 --> 00:02:14,773
Speaker 3: told them we don't pick they're not picked.

42
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:15,733
Speaker 2: Let it go.

43
00:02:15,853 --> 00:02:16,893
Speaker 4: They were lying on the ground.

44
00:02:16,973 --> 00:02:18,733
Speaker 3: She goes up to Zib who's one and a half

45
00:02:18,773 --> 00:02:21,013
Speaker 3: and says, now, don't you pick those flowers and points

46
00:02:21,013 --> 00:02:22,973
Speaker 3: of finger at this guy? She what, and he's one

47
00:02:22,973 --> 00:02:26,933
Speaker 3: and a half and there is old duck, old duck. Seriously,

48
00:02:27,093 --> 00:02:28,853
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't. They just don't do that.

49
00:02:29,373 --> 00:02:31,453
Speaker 4: Well, no, so what did you do to that? Because

50
00:02:31,573 --> 00:02:34,053
Speaker 4: I would have aked up as the grand parent.

51
00:02:34,253 --> 00:02:35,933
Speaker 3: I just walked away because I thought, well, it's like

52
00:02:36,013 --> 00:02:38,053
Speaker 3: road rage, this is staff rage, and I didn't want

53
00:02:38,053 --> 00:02:40,213
Speaker 3: to be a part of it, or you should.

54
00:02:40,333 --> 00:02:41,093
Speaker 4: You should have wrung me.

55
00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:45,533
Speaker 3: But my kids sorted. I just like, I get that

56
00:02:45,573 --> 00:02:47,293
Speaker 3: there are people that go you don't pick deviitils, and

57
00:02:47,293 --> 00:02:49,773
Speaker 3: there's appropriate ways to speak the man. It was just

58
00:02:50,013 --> 00:02:51,813
Speaker 3: it was just so ironic that we were talking about

59
00:02:51,813 --> 00:02:54,693
Speaker 3: it on Friday and then it happened and I didn't

60
00:02:54,733 --> 00:02:55,133
Speaker 3: pick them.

61
00:02:56,253 --> 00:03:00,173
Speaker 4: Don't go out in the woods today.

62
00:03:00,373 --> 00:03:02,773
Speaker 3: You want to come to Christ's folks a beautiful city,

63
00:03:02,813 --> 00:03:05,733
Speaker 3: but don't touch the damvidils And whatever you do, whatever

64
00:03:05,813 --> 00:03:09,853
Speaker 3: you do, you can ram raid, whatever you like, just

65
00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:12,133
Speaker 3: don't peck a Davidal The.

66
00:03:12,173 --> 00:03:16,333
Speaker 1: Highlight Reel with Simon Barnard and James Daniels news Talk said, be.

67
00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:19,453
Speaker 3: This is really quite alarming if we know how important

68
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:22,133
Speaker 3: education is. We know it is. You know, the future

69
00:03:22,133 --> 00:03:25,373
Speaker 3: of our children depends on them being well educated. Problem is,

70
00:03:26,013 --> 00:03:28,493
Speaker 3: there's a conference underway and Wellington at the moment where

71
00:03:28,613 --> 00:03:31,493
Speaker 3: education bodies are trying to discuss how we get people

72
00:03:31,573 --> 00:03:34,453
Speaker 3: interested in the profession of teaching, and there's just this

73
00:03:34,533 --> 00:03:36,253
Speaker 3: critical shortage at the moment. How do you do that?

74
00:03:36,413 --> 00:03:40,173
Speaker 4: And there are fewer and fewer students enrolling to become teachers.

75
00:03:40,533 --> 00:03:43,293
Speaker 3: Hello, Holly, Hi, how are you great? Thank you very much?

76
00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:44,053
Speaker 3: Are you a teacher?

77
00:03:44,133 --> 00:03:47,573
Speaker 6: Yes, I've taught an early childhood, mainstream education, and I

78
00:03:47,653 --> 00:03:49,133
Speaker 6: am now working in special education.

79
00:03:49,493 --> 00:03:52,413
Speaker 3: All right, you've got the whole gamut there. Well, let

80
00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:54,213
Speaker 3: me ask you this question from the get go. What

81
00:03:54,333 --> 00:03:55,533
Speaker 3: got you into teaching?

82
00:03:56,253 --> 00:03:58,413
Speaker 6: I wanted to teach since I was just a little girl.

83
00:03:58,453 --> 00:04:01,413
Speaker 6: I remember going to my primary school and having the

84
00:04:01,453 --> 00:04:04,373
Speaker 6: most amazing teachers and an amazing principle and thinking, yep,

85
00:04:04,693 --> 00:04:07,533
Speaker 6: I want to teach. And I just left straight from

86
00:04:07,533 --> 00:04:09,853
Speaker 6: school out the bat. I was straight to UNI thirty

87
00:04:09,853 --> 00:04:12,693
Speaker 6: six now and I've been teaching in classrooms full in

88
00:04:12,733 --> 00:04:13,893
Speaker 6: part times since I was eighteen.

89
00:04:14,093 --> 00:04:15,373
Speaker 3: Is it what you thought it would be.

90
00:04:15,813 --> 00:04:20,573
Speaker 6: No. Why I think one of the biggest issues in

91
00:04:20,613 --> 00:04:25,213
Speaker 6: classroom is for teachers and attracting people to the profession,

92
00:04:25,333 --> 00:04:28,213
Speaker 6: is that classrooms come with kids who have a lot

93
00:04:28,213 --> 00:04:31,293
Speaker 6: of baggage, They have a lot of trauma. You get

94
00:04:31,733 --> 00:04:35,373
Speaker 6: neurodiverse children and your classrooms who are funded and get help.

95
00:04:36,253 --> 00:04:38,373
Speaker 6: But a lot of my classes, especially when I worked

96
00:04:38,413 --> 00:04:41,813
Speaker 6: in Low gesl Areas and SR ten schools too as well,

97
00:04:41,933 --> 00:04:43,733
Speaker 6: I had a lot of trauma kids who've got no help.

98
00:04:44,133 --> 00:04:46,613
Speaker 6: So as a teacher, there's not a lot of time

99
00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:49,533
Speaker 6: to teach when you're managing all those behaviors. You're trying

100
00:04:49,533 --> 00:04:52,333
Speaker 6: to help these children, to build a relationship, to connect

101
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:55,373
Speaker 6: with them, and then there's really nothing left in your tank,

102
00:04:56,173 --> 00:04:57,573
Speaker 6: you know, to carry on with for the rest of

103
00:04:57,573 --> 00:04:57,893
Speaker 6: the day.

104
00:04:57,973 --> 00:05:01,013
Speaker 4: It sounds like really hard work, Hollies. So do you

105
00:05:01,693 --> 00:05:03,533
Speaker 4: regret making this call?

106
00:05:04,173 --> 00:05:06,173
Speaker 6: No, not for a minute. I love children and I

107
00:05:06,213 --> 00:05:08,973
Speaker 6: love teaching, and I know that I make a difference.

108
00:05:09,093 --> 00:05:11,933
Speaker 6: I burn myself into the ground most days. I work

109
00:05:11,933 --> 00:05:13,973
Speaker 6: in special education now, where I have a class of

110
00:05:14,053 --> 00:05:17,493
Speaker 6: six and I have a team of tas, and special

111
00:05:17,653 --> 00:05:21,173
Speaker 6: education is a whole nother ballgame. But you know, when

112
00:05:21,173 --> 00:05:23,693
Speaker 6: those children make both small strives or you know, they

113
00:05:23,693 --> 00:05:26,653
Speaker 6: hold your hand, or they trust you, or you build

114
00:05:26,773 --> 00:05:29,013
Speaker 6: enough of a relationship with them to be able to

115
00:05:29,013 --> 00:05:31,773
Speaker 6: get them to want to write their name, or to

116
00:05:31,813 --> 00:05:33,853
Speaker 6: get them to want to read. Those are the small

117
00:05:33,853 --> 00:05:35,373
Speaker 6: things you've got to take away from it. And I

118
00:05:35,373 --> 00:05:37,733
Speaker 6: think another one of the problems to is the attitude

119
00:05:37,773 --> 00:05:40,693
Speaker 6: that some teachers have with an education. You know, we

120
00:05:40,813 --> 00:05:43,893
Speaker 6: have enough problem outside of education with people bagging us

121
00:05:43,973 --> 00:05:45,933
Speaker 6: and saying, oh, we get a holidays and you know,

122
00:05:46,013 --> 00:05:48,453
Speaker 6: bringing us down, but there are teachers within the profession

123
00:05:48,733 --> 00:05:51,493
Speaker 6: who treat it the same. And we really need to

124
00:05:51,493 --> 00:05:53,853
Speaker 6: be able to promote ourselves because we're not getting the

125
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:56,013
Speaker 6: promotion from the community, we're not getting the promotion from

126
00:05:56,053 --> 00:05:58,413
Speaker 6: the Ministry of Education. We have to be the ones

127
00:05:58,453 --> 00:06:00,653
Speaker 6: out there saying, you know, this is a worthwhile profession.

128
00:06:01,053 --> 00:06:03,813
Speaker 6: Use it is hard, know that money's not great, you know,

129
00:06:03,893 --> 00:06:06,053
Speaker 6: like you are going to struggle and you are going

130
00:06:06,093 --> 00:06:07,933
Speaker 6: to be but it's worth it at the end of

131
00:06:07,933 --> 00:06:09,613
Speaker 6: the day. And I don't think we have enough of

132
00:06:09,693 --> 00:06:12,333
Speaker 6: that within the educating community. We need to be out there,

133
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:14,253
Speaker 6: you know, sort of promoting ourselves.

134
00:06:14,493 --> 00:06:16,373
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think that's going to leave you with what

135
00:06:16,493 --> 00:06:19,333
Speaker 3: would use you. I'll leave you with one text. You know,

136
00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:21,413
Speaker 3: this is the thing that annoys me. One hundred and

137
00:06:21,413 --> 00:06:24,813
Speaker 3: three thousand dollars, twelve weeks holiday year, a few short days,

138
00:06:24,853 --> 00:06:25,653
Speaker 3: teacher only days.

139
00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:29,453
Speaker 6: Not bad, really, I don't earn one hundred and three

140
00:06:29,453 --> 00:06:31,613
Speaker 6: thousand dollars a year. Come and do my job. Spend

141
00:06:31,653 --> 00:06:33,853
Speaker 6: a day with me, and then you'll understand. I don't

142
00:06:33,933 --> 00:06:36,093
Speaker 6: even I'm not going to tell you what I am,

143
00:06:36,173 --> 00:06:37,293
Speaker 6: but it's nowhere near that much.

144
00:06:37,733 --> 00:06:40,973
Speaker 3: Thank you, Holly very much for your thoughts. The highlight reel,

145
00:06:41,493 --> 00:06:45,053
Speaker 3: we're talking about the prevalence of the gray divorce. In

146
00:06:45,093 --> 00:06:47,373
Speaker 3: the last ten years, it's shot up nearly ten percent.

147
00:06:48,293 --> 00:06:52,173
Speaker 3: Forty percent foot yeah, forty forty percent of people are

148
00:06:52,173 --> 00:06:55,253
Speaker 3: getting divorced in the fifty plus range, so they call

149
00:06:55,293 --> 00:06:57,053
Speaker 3: it the gray divorce. We're sort of asking is it

150
00:06:57,133 --> 00:06:59,613
Speaker 3: worth it? Like have you done it? And go, oh

151
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:01,973
Speaker 3: my gosh, what have I done? Or are you thinking

152
00:07:02,053 --> 00:07:04,333
Speaker 3: of quitting it? And why when you've been through all

153
00:07:04,333 --> 00:07:07,293
Speaker 3: the hard part of life? Hi am oh hi.

154
00:07:08,133 --> 00:07:10,853
Speaker 7: I was married for forty years.

155
00:07:10,973 --> 00:07:14,893
Speaker 8: I had four adult children, and my husband basically traded

156
00:07:14,933 --> 00:07:18,653
Speaker 8: me in for a younger version. I found it just

157
00:07:19,133 --> 00:07:23,253
Speaker 8: devastating and a real trauma, and.

158
00:07:23,253 --> 00:07:27,493
Speaker 7: I wondered, you know, my future was unccertain because I

159
00:07:27,653 --> 00:07:30,333
Speaker 7: was just an office administrator. I didn't earn heaps of money,

160
00:07:30,333 --> 00:07:31,733
Speaker 7: so financially as well.

161
00:07:31,613 --> 00:07:34,773
Speaker 8: As everything else, that was really really difficult.

162
00:07:36,413 --> 00:07:40,933
Speaker 7: I'm sure he had male menopause. Actually, yeah, not happy

163
00:07:40,973 --> 00:07:43,013
Speaker 7: with what had happened to his life in the past

164
00:07:43,053 --> 00:07:44,693
Speaker 7: and just what I thought the grass was.

165
00:07:44,653 --> 00:07:47,013
Speaker 2: Greener elsewhere do you have children?

166
00:07:47,373 --> 00:07:50,493
Speaker 7: Four adult children and now eleven grandchildren.

167
00:07:50,973 --> 00:07:54,053
Speaker 4: What was their reaction, Well, it was.

168
00:07:54,013 --> 00:07:59,213
Speaker 7: Pretty shocking because he betrayed me over three years. He

169
00:07:59,333 --> 00:08:02,893
Speaker 7: kind of held me in limbo by suggesting we might

170
00:08:02,933 --> 00:08:06,213
Speaker 7: get back together again, which was probably the cruelest part

171
00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:10,733
Speaker 7: of the whole situation. So they didn't talk to him

172
00:08:10,733 --> 00:08:12,653
Speaker 7: for a couple of years. Also of them didn't talk

173
00:08:12,693 --> 00:08:13,973
Speaker 7: to him for a couple of years.

174
00:08:14,133 --> 00:08:16,253
Speaker 4: This may be awkward for you, Anne, and don't answer

175
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:18,893
Speaker 4: if it is too awkward. But is he still with

176
00:08:19,013 --> 00:08:20,453
Speaker 4: the woman that he left you for?

177
00:08:21,133 --> 00:08:24,613
Speaker 7: Yes he is, he is, but he doesn't love in

178
00:08:24,653 --> 00:08:25,413
Speaker 7: the city.

179
00:08:25,333 --> 00:08:26,733
Speaker 8: That I live any longer.

180
00:08:27,413 --> 00:08:31,333
Speaker 7: But I have to say, I just want to tell

181
00:08:31,373 --> 00:08:35,333
Speaker 7: you that I joined a group called Bodo Superresident Divorced

182
00:08:35,373 --> 00:08:40,453
Speaker 7: Support Group. They are unique to Wellington, although there is

183
00:08:40,693 --> 00:08:44,893
Speaker 7: another similar one in Cavity. And I would say they

184
00:08:45,093 --> 00:08:51,853
Speaker 7: saved me really, because you know they're a grief program basically.

185
00:08:51,933 --> 00:08:54,053
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And I get that, Anne, I mean I

186
00:08:54,093 --> 00:08:56,733
Speaker 3: get that that you poor thing. Was the woman that

187
00:08:56,773 --> 00:08:59,413
Speaker 3: your husband left you for? Was she a younger woman?

188
00:08:59,973 --> 00:09:02,493
Speaker 7: Yeah, she was ten years younger and she worked in

189
00:09:02,573 --> 00:09:04,573
Speaker 7: his office, so you know he found the love of

190
00:09:04,613 --> 00:09:05,773
Speaker 7: his life in his office.

191
00:09:05,813 --> 00:09:06,893
Speaker 9: The usual story.

192
00:09:07,893 --> 00:09:09,973
Speaker 3: I mean, I can imagine for you, and I'm putting

193
00:09:09,973 --> 00:09:11,573
Speaker 3: words into your mouth here, but I would imagine the

194
00:09:11,653 --> 00:09:14,853
Speaker 3: blow to your self confidence, your self esteem must have

195
00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:16,933
Speaker 3: been immense.

196
00:09:16,693 --> 00:09:21,133
Speaker 7: Huge, absolutely huge. I think I cried for two years.

197
00:09:21,293 --> 00:09:22,013
Speaker 3: I'll bet you did.

198
00:09:22,133 --> 00:09:24,373
Speaker 7: And I do want to say this group.

199
00:09:24,453 --> 00:09:29,373
Speaker 8: What's it called again and widow Separated and divorced support group?

200
00:09:29,573 --> 00:09:31,493
Speaker 3: This is a very strong word, but I'm going to

201
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:33,853
Speaker 3: use it. Do you hate your husband for what he did?

202
00:09:34,933 --> 00:09:35,693
Speaker 4: Not anymore?

203
00:09:35,733 --> 00:09:40,413
Speaker 7: I probably went through all those feelings. Now I'm very

204
00:09:40,453 --> 00:09:44,853
Speaker 7: happy on my own really. Yeah, I discovered my own

205
00:09:45,013 --> 00:09:48,093
Speaker 7: niche in my own life. I've gained a lot more

206
00:09:48,133 --> 00:09:51,933
Speaker 7: confidence since I did that course. I've got my own

207
00:09:52,093 --> 00:09:55,853
Speaker 7: voice now, So in a lot of ways, it's okay.

208
00:09:55,973 --> 00:10:01,053
Speaker 7: I mean, we have Christmas together with the kids and grandchildren,

209
00:10:01,213 --> 00:10:03,453
Speaker 7: so I have to do that for my kid's day.

210
00:10:03,933 --> 00:10:06,533
Speaker 3: And you're a very gutsy woman, a brave one, and

211
00:10:06,613 --> 00:10:08,373
Speaker 3: good on you, and I.

212
00:10:08,373 --> 00:10:10,053
Speaker 7: Must cover how strong I was.

213
00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:12,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, much respect to you. I can't imagine what

214
00:10:12,853 --> 00:10:15,373
Speaker 3: it would be like to have somebody leave me for

215
00:10:15,453 --> 00:10:17,933
Speaker 3: somebody else. That must be so destroying. So you are

216
00:10:17,973 --> 00:10:20,573
Speaker 3: a brave, courageous person. I sometimes actually have thought about

217
00:10:20,573 --> 00:10:22,973
Speaker 3: this in my situation. I think it's almost worse than

218
00:10:23,013 --> 00:10:25,293
Speaker 3: losing somebody, because my wife said that to me years ago,

219
00:10:25,293 --> 00:10:28,453
Speaker 3: and she said to me, you know, if somebody's unfaithful

220
00:10:28,453 --> 00:10:30,853
Speaker 3: to you, it's almost worse than death, because with death

221
00:10:30,933 --> 00:10:34,573
Speaker 3: they love you, but you can't have them. They've passed away.

222
00:10:34,653 --> 00:10:37,133
Speaker 3: But in a divorce or something like your situation, and

223
00:10:37,733 --> 00:10:39,773
Speaker 3: your husband he was still there, you were able to

224
00:10:39,773 --> 00:10:41,253
Speaker 3: have them, but he said I don't want you, and

225
00:10:41,293 --> 00:10:44,373
Speaker 3: that's that's just a crushing blow. So hearts go out

226
00:10:44,413 --> 00:10:45,653
Speaker 3: to you and it's the rejection.

227
00:10:46,013 --> 00:10:49,053
Speaker 7: Yeah, the rejection, and I set for free. Who was

228
00:10:49,133 --> 00:10:52,773
Speaker 7: the worrow? Once I said to your husband still loved

229
00:10:52,813 --> 00:10:55,173
Speaker 7: you when he died. It's what you were saying.

230
00:10:55,333 --> 00:10:57,013
Speaker 3: Thank you for calling in and thanks for being so

231
00:10:57,053 --> 00:10:57,853
Speaker 3: honest with your story.

232
00:10:57,893 --> 00:10:58,333
Speaker 4: Good luck.

Speaker 2: The Highlight Reel with Science James.

235
00:11:07,093 --> 00:11:09,733
Speaker 3: Now you know I'm an animal guy. We've had in

236
00:11:09,733 --> 00:11:14,333
Speaker 3: our family. Yes, I reiterate. Two cats, two dogs, two rabbits,

Speaker 3: she puts the cat in the backpack when she goes

302
00:14:17,933 --> 00:14:20,853
Speaker 3: We're discussing gambling on the back of the story about

303
00:14:20,853 --> 00:14:23,893
Speaker 3: a guy who's very fit, active, former raugy player at

Speaker 3: put twenty bucks into a machine on a pokey. It

308
00:14:33,013 --> 00:14:36,373
Speaker 3: paid out with his second spin twenty six five hundred dollars.

309
00:14:36,693 --> 00:14:39,173
Speaker 3: From that moment, he said he was hooked and he

310
00:14:39,253 --> 00:14:41,853
Speaker 3: lost absolutely everything. His wife and his kids left him,

311
00:14:41,893 --> 00:14:44,293
Speaker 3: lost his house, lost his job, and now he's trying

313
00:14:46,253 --> 00:14:48,413
Speaker 3: the psychology of that. How does that happen to you?

314
00:14:49,093 --> 00:14:51,373
Speaker 3: What happens when you play the game? Where does the

315
00:14:51,413 --> 00:14:53,293
Speaker 3: stimulation come from? Is it just the buzz that you

316
00:14:53,333 --> 00:14:55,093
Speaker 3: may be around the corner from the next big win.

317
00:14:55,773 --> 00:14:58,933
Speaker 10: Hello Berry Ohio, I just give you a classic example

318
00:14:58,933 --> 00:15:02,453
Speaker 10: of a compulsive gambler that I sat and watched over

319
00:15:02,453 --> 00:15:05,293
Speaker 10: a number of hours. Was this poor old lady. I'll

320
00:15:05,413 --> 00:15:08,213
Speaker 10: say poor old lady because she was poor when she finished,

321
00:15:08,213 --> 00:15:11,253
Speaker 10: but she was in the seventies. And we sat and

322
00:15:11,293 --> 00:15:13,813
Speaker 10: watched her, and she was going backwards and forwards to

323
00:15:13,853 --> 00:15:16,853
Speaker 10: the bar, getting twenty forty here and there, and going

324
00:15:16,853 --> 00:15:19,573
Speaker 10: and putting it back into the pokey. And the pogies

325
00:15:19,573 --> 00:15:21,173
Speaker 10: are set up to give you a week bit of

326
00:15:21,173 --> 00:15:24,893
Speaker 10: a feed, just enough to keep you interested. She went

327
00:15:24,973 --> 00:15:29,053
Speaker 10: up and her withdrawals were increasing and increasing, and sold

328
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:31,453
Speaker 10: their losses, and in the end she went up and

329
00:15:31,773 --> 00:15:33,773
Speaker 10: threwout six hundred And how do I know that. I

330
00:15:33,813 --> 00:15:36,733
Speaker 10: went and asked the barman, Oh my god, and she

331
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:40,013
Speaker 10: put that whole lot through and she walked out crying

332
00:15:40,093 --> 00:15:42,493
Speaker 10: because that was her rent money, your food money. And

333
00:15:42,933 --> 00:15:45,693
Speaker 10: I saw, Christ, you know, something's got to be done there.

334
00:15:45,733 --> 00:15:47,653
Speaker 10: While I was out wild, and I walked up to

335
00:15:47,693 --> 00:15:50,653
Speaker 10: that particular machine and pulled it over and put my

336
00:15:50,693 --> 00:15:53,053
Speaker 10: whole nail boots through the glass. And I was barred

337
00:15:53,253 --> 00:15:54,653
Speaker 10: instantly for doing that.

338
00:15:55,453 --> 00:15:56,533
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised.

339
00:15:56,773 --> 00:16:00,053
Speaker 10: It's got to stop, because these barmen they just let

340
00:16:00,093 --> 00:16:03,973
Speaker 10: it carry on, and they know that these people spending

341
00:16:03,973 --> 00:16:06,453
Speaker 10: their pension and once that's gone, I've got no and

342
00:16:06,653 --> 00:16:07,453
Speaker 10: they've got nothing.

343
00:16:07,893 --> 00:16:12,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's a salient point. Barrye, thank you for coin. Hello.

344
00:16:12,413 --> 00:16:13,653
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it gets worse.

345
00:16:14,733 --> 00:16:15,093
Speaker 2: Guys.

346
00:16:15,613 --> 00:16:18,493
Speaker 11: My son's just come back from university and you know

347
00:16:18,573 --> 00:16:21,973
Speaker 11: all of his mates have piled in from Dunedin and

348
00:16:22,053 --> 00:16:25,973
Speaker 11: christ Church and Wellington. And in a flatting situation, picture

349
00:16:26,013 --> 00:16:28,933
Speaker 11: this your audio pizza and in your box of beers,

350
00:16:28,973 --> 00:16:31,053
Speaker 11: and you have your sixty inch TV in the middle

351
00:16:31,093 --> 00:16:33,333
Speaker 11: of the living room, and these boys will bring up

352
00:16:33,373 --> 00:16:37,693
Speaker 11: their various online Poky accounts. One particular flat six boys.

353
00:16:37,693 --> 00:16:39,653
Speaker 11: The flats down fifty grand this year.

354
00:16:40,133 --> 00:16:41,973
Speaker 3: What this is a student?

355
00:16:42,053 --> 00:16:43,653
Speaker 4: Yeah, Uni student.

356
00:16:43,493 --> 00:16:46,813
Speaker 11: Pack of students, six students community. They're down fifty grand

357
00:16:46,853 --> 00:16:47,253
Speaker 11: in total.

358
00:16:47,373 --> 00:16:48,093
Speaker 4: What are they betting on?

359
00:16:48,213 --> 00:16:51,413
Speaker 11: It's just just online flots online Pokey's and it's flat

360
00:16:51,453 --> 00:16:53,933
Speaker 11: after flat after flat after flat down there.

361
00:16:53,973 --> 00:16:56,253
Speaker 3: Is it going on their student loan? Can they do that?

362
00:16:56,413 --> 00:16:58,933
Speaker 11: You'd assume. So one lad's down nine grand, the other

363
00:16:58,973 --> 00:17:01,893
Speaker 11: one's down five and they're round sort of. And then

364
00:17:01,973 --> 00:17:04,093
Speaker 11: and then they can go online and ban themselves from

365
00:17:04,133 --> 00:17:07,373
Speaker 11: these websites so that they get ambal on. So you know,

366
00:17:07,733 --> 00:17:09,773
Speaker 11: a handful of them have now gone on and done that.

367
00:17:10,413 --> 00:17:13,173
Speaker 11: But you know that's crippling at eighteen nineteen and it's done,

368
00:17:13,333 --> 00:17:15,893
Speaker 11: and talking a little bit to them about it, it's

369
00:17:15,933 --> 00:17:17,533
Speaker 11: done out of a place of boredom. They're sort of

370
00:17:17,533 --> 00:17:19,493
Speaker 11: sitting around, not much to do, like we might have

371
00:17:19,533 --> 00:17:23,693
Speaker 11: sat around and played cards. Yeah, they just it's someone's

372
00:17:23,693 --> 00:17:25,973
Speaker 11: turn that night to be the person that's going to

373
00:17:25,973 --> 00:17:28,973
Speaker 11: spin their account, and they all sit around and live

374
00:17:29,013 --> 00:17:30,813
Speaker 11: the ups and downs for that guy for the night

375
00:17:30,893 --> 00:17:33,133
Speaker 11: he loses. Next night someone else loads their account.

376
00:17:33,213 --> 00:17:35,453
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a bizarre story.

377
00:17:35,213 --> 00:17:36,973
Speaker 11: Online gambling in student flat.

378
00:17:37,053 --> 00:17:39,693
Speaker 3: That is terrifying, terrifying, Thank you very much.

379
00:17:40,013 --> 00:17:41,293
Speaker 2: Got highlight reel o.

380
00:17:41,373 --> 00:17:43,933
Speaker 3: The days of the Family GP over this text Test

381
00:17:43,973 --> 00:17:46,213
Speaker 3: says they're well and truly over. We couldn't get into

382
00:17:46,293 --> 00:17:48,453
Speaker 3: our family GP, even though we'd been seeing them for

383
00:17:48,453 --> 00:17:51,693
Speaker 3: twenty five years. It was always just so busy. So

384
00:17:51,773 --> 00:17:53,813
Speaker 3: it's gone. Now we just go to Randoms when they

385
00:17:53,813 --> 00:17:56,493
Speaker 3: can take us. Tony says, I've been seeing the same

386
00:17:56,573 --> 00:17:59,733
Speaker 3: GP for forty years. Way back he delivered our three children.

387
00:17:59,813 --> 00:18:04,093
Speaker 3: A family GP is critical eron Now your husband's a GPREC.

388
00:18:05,493 --> 00:18:07,773
Speaker 9: So we're living in breathing it. I work in a

389
00:18:07,893 --> 00:18:14,933
Speaker 9: GP practice myself, and I think that claim that the

390
00:18:15,053 --> 00:18:19,573
Speaker 9: family GP is dead, I think it's it's pretty on mark,

391
00:18:19,733 --> 00:18:21,973
Speaker 9: but I think there's still hope.

392
00:18:22,253 --> 00:18:23,973
Speaker 3: Why is the family GP dead.

393
00:18:24,093 --> 00:18:27,813
Speaker 9: It is a lack of resources. We have growing communities

394
00:18:28,173 --> 00:18:32,573
Speaker 9: and we have also growing health conditions. People are living longer,

395
00:18:32,973 --> 00:18:36,693
Speaker 9: people are requiring more. There's just more to do, more vaccinations,

396
00:18:36,693 --> 00:18:38,973
Speaker 9: to offer, you know, more preventive care.

397
00:18:39,093 --> 00:18:44,733
Speaker 3: So so it's as simple as basically overworked understaff.

398
00:18:44,733 --> 00:18:47,013
Speaker 9: You could absolutely love to go back to being able

399
00:18:47,013 --> 00:18:50,213
Speaker 9: to just seeing their own patience. And it still happens.

400
00:18:50,253 --> 00:18:52,893
Speaker 9: Don't get me wrong, it still happens. Largely if you

401
00:18:52,973 --> 00:18:55,093
Speaker 9: come in with you know, an issue that can be

402
00:18:55,133 --> 00:18:57,853
Speaker 9: dealt with by a nurse or a long term conditions

403
00:18:57,933 --> 00:19:01,573
Speaker 9: nurse or even a healthcare assistance that will happen. But

404
00:19:01,613 --> 00:19:04,093
Speaker 9: the GP is always reading the notes. They're still seeing

405
00:19:04,133 --> 00:19:06,013
Speaker 9: what is happening along the way, so you may not

406
00:19:06,053 --> 00:19:09,053
Speaker 9: see it, but they are still your family GP. And

407
00:19:09,133 --> 00:19:11,973
Speaker 9: if you are proactive, then you make an appointment in advance,

408
00:19:12,013 --> 00:19:14,013
Speaker 9: like say you have ten different medications or so you

409
00:19:14,053 --> 00:19:16,973
Speaker 9: have asthma diabetes, you need to be proactive and make

410
00:19:17,053 --> 00:19:19,733
Speaker 9: those appointments in advance that you see your own GP,

411
00:19:20,253 --> 00:19:22,733
Speaker 9: because the problem is people are coming in with semi

412
00:19:22,853 --> 00:19:25,133
Speaker 9: urgent issues and they expect to see their GP and

413
00:19:25,173 --> 00:19:27,213
Speaker 9: that's not going to happen. Then that may be dealt

414
00:19:27,253 --> 00:19:30,093
Speaker 9: with by whoever's in the urgent care dropping section of

415
00:19:30,133 --> 00:19:32,253
Speaker 9: their GP practice, but it's not to say that your

416
00:19:32,693 --> 00:19:35,013
Speaker 9: own GP doesn't read about that. Then they're looking through

417
00:19:35,013 --> 00:19:38,973
Speaker 9: their inboxes. So it's still there. It's definitely not what

418
00:19:39,053 --> 00:19:41,853
Speaker 9: it was, But I still think it's worth having a

419
00:19:41,893 --> 00:19:45,173
Speaker 9: GP and calling them your family GP because they do

420
00:19:45,253 --> 00:19:47,693
Speaker 9: still care. They're trying, they're just waiting for more GPS

421
00:19:47,733 --> 00:19:49,933
Speaker 9: and they're practice. It is a really tough job and

422
00:19:49,973 --> 00:19:51,773
Speaker 9: there's a lot of GP burner out there.

423
00:19:51,853 --> 00:19:52,533
Speaker 1: It is huge.

424
00:19:52,613 --> 00:19:55,453
Speaker 9: It has been in the media and it is due

425
00:19:55,453 --> 00:19:56,173
Speaker 9: to resources.

426
00:19:56,573 --> 00:19:59,293
Speaker 3: You know, they're not making it up, are they?

427
00:20:01,373 --> 00:20:03,533
Speaker 2: Chats? Laughs, and the best calls.

428
00:20:03,933 --> 00:20:06,653
Speaker 1: This is the highlight reel with Simon bar On It

429
00:20:06,693 --> 00:20:09,373
Speaker 1: and James Daniels powered Bundy's talk Sai'd be.

430
00:20:09,533 --> 00:20:12,693
Speaker 3: So this couple, young couple buy a house. In the

431
00:20:12,733 --> 00:20:15,173
Speaker 3: house and the roof cavity, they discover two hundred and

432
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:17,773
Speaker 3: thirty two thousand dollars hidden in the roof space. They

433
00:20:17,853 --> 00:20:20,413
Speaker 3: reported to the police because it's like a bit unusual.

434
00:20:20,773 --> 00:20:24,413
Speaker 3: The police think, I think, The police say, I quote,

435
00:20:24,453 --> 00:20:27,253
Speaker 3: the money is probably tainted as the proceeds of a

436
00:20:27,253 --> 00:20:32,333
Speaker 3: criminal activity, most likely drug dealing. So they've applied for

437
00:20:32,373 --> 00:20:34,733
Speaker 3: the money to be seized and handed over to the crown.

438
00:20:34,893 --> 00:20:37,173
Speaker 3: As happens with the process the police, the police have

439
00:20:38,013 --> 00:20:41,333
Speaker 3: the couple say, hey, we're not the criminals. We didn't

440
00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:43,573
Speaker 3: know when we bought the house that the money was

441
00:20:43,573 --> 00:20:47,133
Speaker 3: in there, so kind of fined as keepers. Yes, So

442
00:20:47,533 --> 00:20:51,813
Speaker 3: that begs the question, what's your threshold for handing money?

443
00:20:51,813 --> 00:20:53,413
Speaker 3: And I mean I'd probably hand in two hundred and

444
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:56,093
Speaker 3: thirty two thousand dollars as well, because you'd know that,

445
00:20:56,133 --> 00:20:57,893
Speaker 3: you know, you might be of a pillow put over

446
00:20:57,893 --> 00:21:01,533
Speaker 3: your head at night. Well, what's your limit? Like if

447
00:21:01,573 --> 00:21:03,653
Speaker 3: you found a twenty dollars note on the ground, would

448
00:21:03,693 --> 00:21:04,853
Speaker 3: you hand that to the police.

449
00:21:04,933 --> 00:21:07,293
Speaker 4: Well, I'd look around to see if there's anyone around

450
00:21:07,293 --> 00:21:08,453
Speaker 4: that possibly had dropped it.

451
00:21:08,613 --> 00:21:11,453
Speaker 3: Oh, we all do that? Would you handed into the police?

452
00:21:11,773 --> 00:21:12,093
Speaker 5: Oh?

453
00:21:12,173 --> 00:21:13,533
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no.

454
00:21:13,733 --> 00:21:15,333
Speaker 3: Fifty no.

455
00:21:16,853 --> 00:21:25,773
Speaker 4: Hundy ummm, possibly a hundi. Possibly depends on the circumstances,

456
00:21:25,813 --> 00:21:28,413
Speaker 4: like who's around at the time you know.

457
00:21:30,693 --> 00:21:34,053
Speaker 3: Who's around. In other words, if you've seen so, that's

458
00:21:34,053 --> 00:21:35,853
Speaker 3: sort of like situational ethics.

459
00:21:36,173 --> 00:21:38,333
Speaker 4: But mind you, I haven't actually had that happen to

460
00:21:38,333 --> 00:21:39,413
Speaker 4: be honest, have you.

461
00:21:40,533 --> 00:21:42,213
Speaker 3: I've found a twenty dollars note and I've kept that.

462
00:21:42,533 --> 00:21:44,093
Speaker 3: I would keep one hundred dollars. I wouldn't go to

463
00:21:44,133 --> 00:21:46,213
Speaker 3: the police for that. I reckon no, because I reckon

464
00:21:46,213 --> 00:21:49,733
Speaker 3: the police would look just sideways again, like, yeah, we've

465
00:21:49,733 --> 00:21:51,693
Speaker 3: got bigger fish to fry than your hundred bucks.

466
00:21:51,693 --> 00:21:53,773
Speaker 4: All right, Well, if you'll do that, I'll do that

467

Speaker 1: the Highlight Reel with Simon Barnard and James Daniels powered

514
00:24:05,413 --> 00:24:07,653
Speaker 1: by news Talk said, should.

515
00:24:07,293 --> 00:24:10,253
Speaker 3: The white beat industry be more regulated? Like at the

516
00:24:10,333 --> 00:24:13,173
Speaker 3: moment there are people selling a kilo of white bait

517
00:24:13,573 --> 00:24:16,053
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty bucks a kilo, And there's ads

518
00:24:16,053 --> 00:24:19,293
Speaker 3: on Facebook, Maketplace and various other social pages where there's

519
00:24:19,333 --> 00:24:22,053
Speaker 3: just like bags of white bait stacked up. Someone's gone

520
00:24:22,093 --> 00:24:26,173
Speaker 3: and just basically harvested the river. So should it be

521
00:24:26,213 --> 00:24:27,813
Speaker 3: more regulated? Yeah, hello Craig.

522
00:24:27,933 --> 00:24:31,053
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm from the Bow of Bloody. And the main

523
00:24:31,093 --> 00:24:33,653
Speaker 5: thing about the white bait numbers is the set nets,

524
00:24:33,693 --> 00:24:36,213
Speaker 5: the long South and sop nets down here and are

525
00:24:36,293 --> 00:24:39,173
Speaker 5: up here from you guys. And they also have a

526
00:24:39,213 --> 00:24:41,613
Speaker 5: wing that they can set a wing off the side

527
00:24:41,653 --> 00:24:44,133
Speaker 5: of it because there's a certain size for your net

528
00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:47,853
Speaker 5: the entrance and they put another two meters off the side,

529
00:24:47,893 --> 00:24:52,053
Speaker 5: so they catch everything including our the little gha Alfred's

530
00:24:52,413 --> 00:24:57,213
Speaker 5: small tuna, eels and mullet. Everything goes in and it's

531
00:24:57,213 --> 00:25:00,373
Speaker 5: stuck in a he nugging type net, you know. Yeah,

532
00:25:00,413 --> 00:25:02,853
Speaker 5: so that's why we've got a band scoop net should

533
00:25:02,853 --> 00:25:04,973
Speaker 5: be the only way you're allowed to catch white bait, right,

534
00:25:05,053 --> 00:25:09,053
Speaker 5: white bait are actually they're all native trout symbols that

535
00:25:09,213 --> 00:25:12,093
Speaker 5: and they all go to a different habitat. Some the

536
00:25:12,413 --> 00:25:14,813
Speaker 5: unger stays down on the easter iron zone, you know,

537
00:25:14,893 --> 00:25:18,333
Speaker 5: they banded cockapoo, the short or longsaw cockapoos. They go

538
00:25:18,373 --> 00:25:20,173
Speaker 5: up further and they have their own different places they

539
00:25:20,213 --> 00:25:23,253
Speaker 5: swim to. Some go to the lakes up you know,

540
00:25:23,373 --> 00:25:26,053
Speaker 5: they jump up the waterfalls there that they're the little

541
00:25:26,053 --> 00:25:28,213
Speaker 5: ones with the golden ones. They're pick to the side

542
00:25:28,213 --> 00:25:31,013
Speaker 5: of the buck. They jump up the waterfalls, off the rocks.

543
00:25:31,733 --> 00:25:34,773
Speaker 5: It's all about the set nets. Believe me, I've seen

544
00:25:34,813 --> 00:25:37,253
Speaker 5: and I've seen people set up below me. When I've

545
00:25:37,293 --> 00:25:40,573
Speaker 5: been getting good catchers, still penny going pass. Then all

546
00:25:40,573 --> 00:25:43,093
Speaker 5: of a sudden, not one bloody fish case paths excuse

547
00:25:43,133 --> 00:25:43,573
Speaker 5: my language.

548
00:25:43,853 --> 00:25:44,253
Speaker 3: That's fair.

549
00:25:44,573 --> 00:25:48,373
Speaker 5: I wish where James goes on holiday. Mugget tooth, believe me. Okay,

550
00:25:49,053 --> 00:25:51,013
Speaker 5: there's still bloody heaps lovely.

551
00:25:51,093 --> 00:25:53,533
Speaker 3: So, Craig is the biggest problem with the sock net.

552
00:25:54,013 --> 00:25:56,973
Speaker 5: It's just it's it's indiscriminate fishing.

553
00:25:57,333 --> 00:25:59,333
Speaker 4: What about the selling of white baite, Craig, do you

554
00:25:59,613 --> 00:26:00,253
Speaker 4: support that?

555
00:26:00,333 --> 00:26:02,693
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what. Yeah, I sell it but

556
00:26:02,773 --> 00:26:05,133
Speaker 5: a sheep to people who can't get it because they

557
00:26:05,413 --> 00:26:07,813
Speaker 5: work too much and they really love it, or else

558
00:26:07,933 --> 00:26:10,613
Speaker 5: old folks who I know money and then because it

559
00:26:10,653 --> 00:26:12,653
Speaker 5: takes a lot of time and picture will and all

560
00:26:12,653 --> 00:26:14,893
Speaker 5: that to going, you know, don't catch them.

561
00:26:14,973 --> 00:26:16,533
Speaker 3: So what do you sell yours for, Craig?

562
00:26:17,013 --> 00:26:18,093
Speaker 5: Seventy dollars a kilo?

563
00:26:18,213 --> 00:26:18,893
Speaker 3: Seventy aquilo?

564
00:26:18,973 --> 00:26:20,453
Speaker 5: Right, but some days I would have you get a

565
00:26:20,533 --> 00:26:22,773
Speaker 5: kilo a day, sometimes whe all day, you know, yeah,

566
00:26:22,933 --> 00:26:26,533
Speaker 5: because of those bloody sickness excuse my language again, No

567
00:26:26,733 --> 00:26:27,253
Speaker 5: fair enough.

568
00:26:27,773 --> 00:26:31,253
Speaker 3: And so is it a livelihood for you or a pastime?

569
00:26:31,493 --> 00:26:33,933
Speaker 5: It's not. It's a pastime, you know. That's why I've

570
00:26:34,053 --> 00:26:37,093
Speaker 5: been out the season. I'm going out tomorrow morning, right see,

Speaker 5: you know, hopefully hopefully get a feed over a cry.

572
00:26:39,653 --> 00:26:42,533
Speaker 3: It's the restriction or regulation you'd like to see put

573
00:26:42,613 --> 00:26:45,373
Speaker 3: upon the industry would be just banning of those nets.

574
00:26:45,373 --> 00:26:47,253
Speaker 3: Are you comfortable at the moment not having to report

575
00:26:47,293 --> 00:26:48,453
Speaker 3: catches and the lake?

576
00:26:48,813 --> 00:26:50,893
Speaker 5: No, that's fine because it's very hard to catch a

577
00:26:50,893 --> 00:26:52,813
Speaker 5: lot with a scudney. Well, are you on the good days?

578

590
00:27:19,493 --> 00:27:23,893
Speaker 3: Obvious tomatoes saucer am I heav Yeah, I thought you

00:27:23,933 --> 00:27:28,733
Speaker 3: got your snobs. Your snobs there both The Highlight Reel.

592
00:27:28,613 --> 00:27:33,173
Speaker 1: With Simon Barnett and James Daniels, available worldwide on iHeartRadio.

593
00:27:33,333 --> 00:27:35,053
Speaker 3: Capital Gains Tax has been a bit of a poisoned

594
00:27:35,133 --> 00:27:37,293
Speaker 3: Chalice for the Labor Party. I go way back to

595
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:39,773
Speaker 3: Phil Goff and David Cunliffe and then of course just

596
00:27:39,813 --> 00:27:42,453
Speaker 3: Cindera durn took the nuclear option. She didn't just rule

597
00:27:42,453 --> 00:27:45,773
Speaker 3: it out, she said under her watch, remember the Captain's call. Yes,

598
00:27:45,893 --> 00:27:49,253
Speaker 3: never ever, So that's clearly Chris Hepkins thinks differently that

599
00:27:49,333 --> 00:27:52,413
Speaker 3: maybe New Zealand public are ready for a capital gains.

600
00:27:52,293 --> 00:27:54,333
Speaker 12: I think it is absolutely time for us to have

601
00:27:54,413 --> 00:27:56,813
Speaker 12: that conversation as a country. It's time for us to

602
00:27:56,853 --> 00:27:59,693
Speaker 12: do something about it. And so we're working through that now.

603
00:27:59,933 --> 00:28:02,293
Speaker 12: We will, we will be going into the next campaign

604
00:28:02,333 --> 00:28:03,813
Speaker 12: with a plan to do something about it.

605
00:28:03,853 --> 00:28:06,533
Speaker 4: Mind you, before the last election, Grant Robertson was toalking

606
00:28:06,533 --> 00:28:10,133
Speaker 4: about a capital gains tax and Chris Hopkins just shot

607
00:28:10,213 --> 00:28:10,613
Speaker 4: him down.

608
00:28:10,973 --> 00:28:11,173
Speaker 2: Yeah.

609
00:28:11,653 --> 00:28:13,253
Speaker 3: Well he was desperate, then, wasn't he, Hapkins.

610
00:28:13,293 --> 00:28:15,093
Speaker 4: He's just I think he got it wrong.

611
00:28:15,413 --> 00:28:18,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I don't know. He was trying everything because

612
00:28:18,173 --> 00:28:20,453
Speaker 3: remember there was that bonfire of all those policies here

613
00:28:20,493 --> 00:28:23,173
Speaker 3: and that was one of them. So is Chris Hopkins right?

614
00:28:23,213 --> 00:28:25,853
Speaker 3: Are we ready now for capital gains tax.

615
00:28:25,973 --> 00:28:29,613
Speaker 4: Or a wealth tax which is similar except the wealth tax?

616
00:28:29,893 --> 00:28:32,533
Speaker 4: What taxes unrealized gains.

617
00:28:32,733 --> 00:28:34,973
Speaker 3: That's the big difference, JD. And that's what I don't like,

618
00:28:35,053 --> 00:28:37,053
Speaker 3: you know, So you don't like that either. You could

619
00:28:37,053 --> 00:28:38,693
Speaker 3: be rich on paper and certainly have to pay a

620
00:28:38,773 --> 00:28:40,733
Speaker 3: year on year if you retired, and where does the

621
00:28:40,773 --> 00:28:42,013
Speaker 3: money come from? So yeah, but a.

622
00:28:42,013 --> 00:28:45,373
Speaker 4: Capital gains tax is a tax on the profit that

623
00:28:45,413 --> 00:28:47,333
Speaker 4: you've made from the sale, say, of a property.

624
00:28:47,373 --> 00:28:49,653
Speaker 3: Is exactly that's the biggest difference between a wealth tax

625
00:28:49,693 --> 00:28:54,453
Speaker 3: and capital gains I just think we are probably ready now.

626
00:28:54,773 --> 00:28:56,333
Speaker 3: We want to help our nurses, we want to help

627
00:28:56,333 --> 00:28:58,253
Speaker 3: our police, we want to keep them in this country,

628
00:28:59,093 --> 00:29:01,013
Speaker 3: want to keep our teachers, want to pay them more.

629
00:29:01,133 --> 00:29:03,693
Speaker 4: So you've changed your mind on capital gains tax.

630
00:29:03,773 --> 00:29:07,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I have, although like caveat to that.

631
00:29:08,133 --> 00:29:10,453
Speaker 3: I like what they do in Australia, so to just

632
00:29:10,453 --> 00:29:12,453
Speaker 3: what the devil is in the detail if they introduce

633
00:29:12,493 --> 00:29:15,213
Speaker 3: it in Australia. I think I'm right in saying this

634
00:29:15,813 --> 00:29:18,573
Speaker 3: that it's a fifteen percent, a flat fifteen percent capital

635
00:29:18,573 --> 00:29:21,253
Speaker 3: gains tax on property sold. If you hold the property

636
00:29:21,253 --> 00:29:23,053
Speaker 3: for more than twelve months, you purchase it and then

637
00:29:23,053 --> 00:29:25,133
Speaker 3: sell it two years later, it's a ten percent capital

638
00:29:25,133 --> 00:29:26,893
Speaker 3: gains So that'll still bring in a heck of a

639
00:29:26,933 --> 00:29:27,493
Speaker 3: lot of money.

640
00:29:27,573 --> 00:29:28,653
Speaker 4: It's like a brightline test.

641
00:29:28,853 --> 00:29:32,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, But Michael Cullen's plan, to the best of my knowledge,

642
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:36,373
Speaker 3: I think his capital gains was argued on the basis

643
00:29:36,733 --> 00:29:40,373
Speaker 3: that it would the capital gains you pay is dependent

644
00:29:40,413 --> 00:29:42,893
Speaker 3: on your top marginal tax rate, right. I just think

645
00:29:42,973 --> 00:29:44,093
Speaker 3: that's actually unfair.

646
00:29:44,613 --> 00:29:47,933
Speaker 4: But I agree with that, but just in principle, I've

647
00:29:47,933 --> 00:29:50,613
Speaker 4: always thought, what is wrong with a capital gains tax?

648
00:29:50,893 --> 00:29:52,653
Speaker 3: But then I spoke with a young couple the other day.

649
00:29:52,653 --> 00:29:54,493
Speaker 3: We were talking about it, and they were all for

650
00:29:54,693 --> 00:29:57,213
Speaker 3: when they didn't own a home. Yes, yes, capital gains

651
00:29:57,253 --> 00:29:59,533
Speaker 3: tax all the way. Yep, definitely. Now they own a

652
00:29:59,533 --> 00:30:02,893
Speaker 3: home and they've probably made one hundred grand from when

653
00:30:02,893 --> 00:30:05,373
Speaker 3: they real justice. Yeah, unrealized, but it's looking at the market,

654
00:30:05,413 --> 00:30:07,293
Speaker 3: they probably made a hundred gand if they were to

655
00:30:07,333 --> 00:30:09,853
Speaker 3: sell that and lose thirty percent of that, they're not

656
00:30:09,893 --> 00:30:11,933
Speaker 3: so keen on it down I think probably that's the

657
00:30:11,933 --> 00:30:13,013
Speaker 3: way life works.

658
00:30:13,493 --> 00:30:17,693
Speaker 1: The Highlight reel with Simon Barnard and James Daniels hughs talk.

659
00:30:17,533 --> 00:30:19,733
Speaker 3: Said, be oh, beg your pardon, James, you were right.

660
00:30:19,773 --> 00:30:20,133
Speaker 4: I was wrong.

661
00:30:20,173 --> 00:30:23,973
Speaker 3: If I was way ahead of the time there were folks,

662
00:30:24,093 --> 00:30:26,413
Speaker 3: just we had panic stations in the I'm looking at

663
00:30:26,493 --> 00:30:27,813
Speaker 3: James and I'm thinking he's got to wrap it up,

664
00:30:27,813 --> 00:30:29,573
Speaker 3: because just a little bit of back this will give

665
00:30:29,573 --> 00:30:31,413
Speaker 3: you the behind the scenes of what actually happens on

666
00:30:31,453 --> 00:30:34,213
Speaker 3: the show. Folks. Everything is to the second. So at

667
00:30:34,253 --> 00:30:37,013
Speaker 3: exactly fifty seven minutes and fifteen seconds, we have to

668
00:30:37,013 --> 00:30:39,093
Speaker 3: stop talking because the news place and the old days

669
00:30:39,093 --> 00:30:41,613
Speaker 3: you had the peeps, you know, the for the news.

670
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:45,093
Speaker 3: And sometimes we get quick because our clock's at different angles.

671
00:30:45,093 --> 00:30:47,293
Speaker 3: Here it's a computer clock, not like an old analog,

672
00:30:47,693 --> 00:30:49,413
Speaker 3: and so we watched the clock as we're talking. It

673
00:30:49,453 --> 00:30:51,213
Speaker 3: counts down every second. I was a minute to head

674
00:30:51,213 --> 00:30:52,853
Speaker 3: of myself. We're looking at James say shut up, mate,

675
00:30:52,853 --> 00:30:54,893
Speaker 3: We've got to go. I'm looking at you panicking.

676
00:30:54,933 --> 00:30:57,213
Speaker 4: I'm going chill, bro, chill bro.

677
00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:02,853
Speaker 3: So I stand down. I was humbly withdraw and apologize. James.

678
00:31:03,213 --> 00:31:05,093
Speaker 3: You are much better at telling the time that I

679
00:31:05,133 --> 00:31:06,933
Speaker 3: have big.

680
00:31:06,733 --> 00:31:10,053
