1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Government's proposing changes to WAFT inspections. The Minister for Everything,

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: it seems, is James Mee. Good morning, Morning, Morning ocon

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: So proposing that for new vehicles it goes to four years,

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: those aged four to ten years every two years, and

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: then those over a decade old annually. What's spread all this?

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're a bit out of step with the

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: rest of the world. So if you look at what

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: they do over in the EU there are four to

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: two as well Australia and Canada. If you look at

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 2: most of the estates and provinces, they actually don't have

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: regular wafts. They have a requirement like we do, to

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: maintain your vehicles roadworthy, but to do it once and

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: then do it again we new sell a vehicles. So

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: we're trying to find the right balance between safety and

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: the qualities vehicles and just the cost of living implications

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: on New Zealanders have to go and get a waft,

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: you know, every year when you're pass the flying colors.

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: So we're trying to see if we can make a

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: few tweaks there.

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: Some of those countries you mentioned, European cars are pretty

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: well built. We've got mostly jet rolling around streets here.

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I think I speak for many when I note there's

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: some pretty rough looking rides rolling around out on those streets,

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: and it makes me a little nervous that people might

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: not because the warr on fitness. If anything, it just

26
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: serves as that reminder to go, oh, I better check

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: the tread on the tires and the brakes, and if

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: that's left often, I don't know, it just makes me

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: a little weary.

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they might be a bit fair. And if you

31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: look at what the age of the vehicles we're looking

32
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: at doing this on, so it'd be extending it to

33
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: four years for new vehicles, and then as you said,

34
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: two years for age four to ten, and then one

35
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: year after that.

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 3: So we are talking about those newer vehicles, the ones

37
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: that already come in with the high quality systems, with

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 3: the automatic breaking, the lane control, all that kind of stuff.

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: So in terms of a safety trade off, we think

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: it's probably got the right balance. But again that's why

41
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: it's out for consultation, so people can let us know

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: whether they think it's in the right space.

43
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm rather envious of you today you're heading out to

44
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the lakes.

45
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, four cart seems good and there's probably still

46
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: a bit of on the ground there. But we've got

47
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: Chris Penkin Town who's the Minister for Land Information or

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: Minister for Lands, and he's going to be up there

49
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: talking to a few of the station holders up there

50
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: about past releases in Roma and all sorts of things.

51
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: So good to get him up there and show them

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: what the high country is all about. When there's been

53
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: a bit of snow around.

54
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Will you have the chance to go and cast a

55
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: rod or stalk something?

56
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: Oh? Look that as part of my portfolio, so I

57
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: can sneak in a little bit of work in air

58
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: quotes here and there, then maybe I can. But it's

59
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: probably a lot more not more dedicated to Cresc and

60
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: his focuses at the moment, so maybe not, but definitely

61
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: looking forward to getting up over summer.

62
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Or maybe the socializing comes on said day or tomorrow

63
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: and said day. Are we going to spot you at

64

Speaker 2: to be a bit of a handful, So those free

72
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: walks that people offer might need to come with some

73
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: public liberary insurance.

74
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,280

00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Actually, oh no, but I need my Barney hugs. I

78
