1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: It's your source of freaking news, challenging opinion and honored facts.

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Vida, Retirement, Communities, Life

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Your Way, news togs had been.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: Morning and welcome today. The good news bad news story

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: around our red meat sector and how much better we

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: could be doing. We found some optimism in the retail sector.

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: We got more to tinkering into acc to make things

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: look better than they actually are. Marking Jinny did the

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: Bazaar after eight Big Wednesday, Richard Arnold, Steve Price. They

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 2: rock on in as well. Hosking feeling good seven past six.

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: Welcome today. Tell you what the most upbeat thing that

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: I've read lately about the media. As a bloke who

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: wrote an article about buying the magazine he was working

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: on when it all went a bit pear shaped, he

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: worked us through what he had learned, what he had changed,

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: how it was going in magazine land Bauer, if you remember,

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: were the first two scarped when the dark old days

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: of COVID arrived, and because they owned so much, a

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: lot of carnage ensued in a lot of magazines vanished

20
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: because well, maybe never to be seen again. The rest

21
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: is relatively though positive history, given most of the titles

22
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: seemed to be back locally owned and running doing from

23
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: all accounts okay. So does Sky's purchase of Discovery locally

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: referred to as TV three close the circle of sorts

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: in this tumultuous period of New Zealand media, where any

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: amount of blood has been spelled and drama has played out.

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: When I say circle closed by its very nature, of course,

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: media evolves no matter what the period or the era

29
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: or the circumstances. But have things or will things settle

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: a bit? Stuff have got trade me on board, and

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: they claim to be able to pay the bills these days.

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: Enzed me is a going concern, some parts of which

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: are particularly successful. Sky have always looked pretty solid as

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: far as I can work out, through this whole period,

35
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: and now they got a great big free to wear

36
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: toy to play with. Media Works has a massive new

37
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: contract on billboards for their outdoor arms, so a large

38
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: number of interesting and new things may well happen out

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: of that. But their radio department, our debt aside, has

40
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: been successful TV and Z that's a bit of an

41
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: open question, I guess, given their bottom line and need

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: to invest shed loads and digital, but their state owned,

43
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: so they're not going to sink. So is that it?

44
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean roughly sort of TV, locally owned magazines bubbling away,

45
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: locally owned radio, the media that keeps on keeping on

46
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: making money highly competitive. Have we finally faced the enemy,

47
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: taken the casualty count and cleared the runway? Can we

48
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: peer through the haze and smoke and see a future?

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: Is the worst now behind us? Fingers crossed.

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: News of the world in ninety seconds.

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: Who doesn't love a yellow chair? To AAASO straight to

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: the White House. We're today's guest is a mister Marcos

53
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: of the Philippines. Not that his host was interested in

54
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: the Philippines or he had other fish to fry.

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: It's the greatest job. You show up one day, a

56
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: half a day, you make a little speech. Your economy

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: is doing well. The economy is not doing well.

58
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: We're going to raise in it.

59
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: And he's got it wrong. That's why I call him

60
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: too late, too too late, and it's really too bad.

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: His friend Scott was also that he's referring to power.

62
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: Of course, his friend Scott was also there. He was

63
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: on a couch, not a yellow chair. He too, was

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: not interested in the Philippines.

65
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 6: Fat has had big mission creed and that's where a

66
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 6: lot of the spending is going. That's where why they're

67
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 6: building these new or refurbishing these buildings. And I think

68
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 6: they got to stay in their way. They should be

69
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 6: cutting raps now.

70
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: Now. Meantime, mister Marcus, who was looking on the news,

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: did get his chance to speak when somebody wondered whether

72
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: the Chinese motlight might not like the idea he'd roped

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: up to Washington.

74
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 7: But there is still need in a sense to balance

75
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 7: to you, as you characterize us, to balance our relationship

76
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 7: with the United States in China, simply because our foreign

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 7: policy is an independent one.

78
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: I think to the Middle East, where global impatients is

79
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: turning to global exasperation.

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 8: Now we are seeing the last guess of a humanitarian

81
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 8: system built on humanitarian principles. This system is being denied

82
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 8: the conditions to function, denied the space to deliver, deny

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 8: the safety to save life.

84
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: Now, this woman is the lawyer for a doctor who's

85
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: detained by the Israelis.

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 9: Their clothes aren't replaced, not even underwear. Skapis is rampant.

87
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 9: Skin diseases are widespread, and the most basic medical attention

88
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 9: is only given when they see you're on the verge

89
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 9: of death.

90
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: Backstage side, let me introduce you to Eric.

91
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 10: Now.

92
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: Eric's building a town. He's the leader of the group

93
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: returned to the land.

94
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 11: What we've done here is establish a place where we

95
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 11: have control over who our neighbors are, and that is

96
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 11: just for the sake of preserving you know, our culture,

97
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 11: white American culture. Yeah, not just white, but white American.

98
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. By the way, just before we in News of

99
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: the World, just in Ossie Osbourne has passed away. It

100
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: was only on stage. What was it last week? He

101
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: was in a chair that he was on stage and

102
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: that is News of the World in nineteen. By the way,

103
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: the August one deadline for tariffs the hard deadline, Lutinix

104
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: said yesterday August one hard deadline. Well, this morning Scott

105
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: Besson said, well, they're likely to hash out an extension

106
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,119
Speaker 2: for Triina, so that's a hard deadline. Twelve pass six.

107
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered

108
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: by News Talk Zippy.

109
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: This Epstein thing will not go away. The DOJ is

110
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: reaching out to Gallaine Maxwell in jail. Justice demands courage.

111
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching

112
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: out to Gallaine Maxwell to ask, what do you know? Johnson,

113
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: Mike House Speaker, he didn't want to know anything because

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: he's he's closed the House of Reps early that we're

115
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: going on an August break, but he's decided that can

116
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: be a July and August break because if he kept

117
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: the house open, the Democrats want a few votes on Epstein.

118
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: He's not interested in that fifteen pass six short from

119
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: devon his management. Greg Smith, good morning to you. Good

120
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: morning Mike. Is that Coca cola going to taste so

121
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 2: much different with cane sugar in it? You reckon?

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 12: Oh, absolutely, isn't it. And that's the sort of the

123
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 12: big announcement aside from the results. So obviously Trump previewed

124
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 12: it last week and that he is effectively put some

125
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 12: pressure on them to change their recipe, and appears they

126
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 12: are going to do that. So they're going to sweepen

127
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 12: their coke with real cane sugar as opposed to the

128
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 12: high fixtors syrup, which I've used since the nineteen eighties,

129
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 12: but mainly due to lwer costs. But obviously you've had

130
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 12: Robert F. Kenlley's talked about the health concerns or health

131
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 12: risks of using the syrup experts, so there's no clear

132
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 12: nutritional differences or other experts do. Meanwhile, Trump reckons the

133
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 12: version with real cane sugar tastes a lot better, and

134
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 12: it's known as actually Mexican coke in the US. He

135
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 12: actually consumes around twelve cokes, so I suppose as many

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 12: were known, just redons that tastes better. So yeah, maybe

137
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 12: the White House might argue that making America healthier game

138
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 12: has taken another step, setting on point that Americans will

139
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 12: be getting the real thing as it relates to the

140
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 12: sweetness and coke. But yeah, as to the results, she's

141
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 12: actually a little bit low. But the earnings and revenues

142
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 12: actually beat, but there are some mixed elements and net

143
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 12: sales at one percent twelve point five billion. That was

144
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 12: up fifty eight percent three point eight billion, But if

145
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 12: you look at volumes they fell one percent, so North America,

146
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 12: Latin America, Asia though a week, and the only division

147
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 12: that was strong was Europe, Middle East and Africa, so

148
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 12: that was up three percent. So you could say that

149
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 12: economic uncertainly is actually weighing on consumer demand.

150
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: At least of coc.

151
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 12: Mets actually has been pretty resilient up until now. But

152
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 12: what is helping like is prices. These were as six percent.

153
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 12: There's also another bright spot coke zero sugar volumes there

154
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 12: up fourteen percent, So we're trying to get healthy in

155
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 12: terms as it relates to coke consumption. It seems that

156
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 12: being about the full year they reckon, revenues are going

157
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 12: to be five to six percent high earnings by three percent.

158
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 12: That's the top of the arrange. A lot of focus

159
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 12: was on that changing of the.

160
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: Recipe, okay, and then we come to Tibet in the dam.

161
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: How big is it? Is it beautiful?

162
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 12: Is a fantastic Hey, what's going to be the biggest

163
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 12: in the world. The Chinese premiere described as the project

164
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 12: of the century. So construction has actually begun on this

165
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 12: one hundred and sixty seven billion hydro power project in Tibet.

166
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 12: It's really got the mining sector go and it's going

167
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 12: to require lots of construction materials. Set to be completed

168
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 12: in the early twenty thirties, so seven years of work

169
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 12: size seven years and Tibit. I suppose you could stay

170
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 12: good use of the Chinese economy. It's going to potentialate

171
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 12: around point one percent to GDP for the decade. But

172
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 12: it's all about the materials, Mike, it's going to consume.

173
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 12: So let's let's go through six million metric tons of cement,

174
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 12: eight hundred thousand tons of steel, seventy thousand tons of copper,

175
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 12: and I ran about the same aluminium. So yeah, that's

176
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 12: why the miners are going. In terms of the power capacity,

177
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 12: we're looking at three hundred billion killer what hours of

178
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 12: electricity annually. They've got this river tumble sort two kilometers

179
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 12: in one part, so huge hydro power potential. So the

180
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 12: damn capacity that could power sixty medium sized cities, or

181
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 12: to put in perspective, that's the total electricity consumed.

182
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: By Britain last year.

183
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 12: So all part of the strategy to expand renewable energy

184
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 12: reduced car missions. Of course, has raised some environmental concerns,

185
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 12: particularly among downstream nations like India and Bangladesh. But yeah,

186
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 12: markets did like the implications. All the big miners rose

187
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 12: for the second day running.

188
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: Surplus New Zealand trade boom.

189
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 12: Boom, here we go. Although hey it is it is

190
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 12: a narrowing a bit. So the June surplus one hundred

191
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 12: and forty two mil that was down from five to

192
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 12: semis mill last year and also lower than the surpases

193
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 12: of a billion plus in April May. But it is

194
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 12: the fifth concept monthly surplus, so that's the first time

195
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 12: since the pandemic that this has happened. So exports going

196
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 12: well up six point six bill, no surprise, dominated by

197
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 12: dairy so milk, butter, milk, powder, butter, and cheese that

198
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 12: was up twenty two percent to one point eight billion.

199
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 12: But food exports going even strong and so twenty five

200
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 12: percent higher. Log exports also rose twenty five percent. We

201
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 12: talked China, they're still our biggest customer by far exports

202
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 12: they are up twelve percent. But interesting thing I guess

203
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 12: from the Trump tariff war, Ozzie is now our second

204
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 12: largest customer. So exports are up sixteen percent, Europe thirty

205
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 12: eight percent high, whereas the US was down nine percent.

206
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 12: And you talk about sort of beef that's been fallen

207
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 12: as well. Meat exports to the US down two hundred

208
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 12: million to eight hundred and forty miles, so certainly having

209
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 12: an impact on the tariff side. Good imports they were

210
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 12: up by nineteen percent six and a half billion. Lots

211
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 12: of stuff being consumed from South Korea trying the US

212
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 12: petrols down vehicles that was up thirteen percent.

213
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: I thought that was interesting.

214
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 12: Here if you look at the annual vehicle stats, the

215
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 12: actually fell twenty three percent four point nine bill. EV's

216
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 12: down to fifty seven percent, hybrid plug ins down thirty

217
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 12: eight percent. Obviously the subsidies are gone, that EV demand

218
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 12: is just not there, at least for pure evs, So

219
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 12: hybrid electrics are still doing well, up around about four percent.

220
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 12: But yeah, certainly interesting move there. You look at the

221
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 12: commercial side, truck, van and utes, they were down seventeen percent.

222
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 12: Just one thing on scooters East scooters E byte it's

223
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 12: gonna be going a without of fashion. So imports here

224
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 12: down twenty three percent. But your good old old fashioned

225
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 12: bikes maybe some relay twenties, and they're up fourteen percent

226
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 12: to fifty three million.

227
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: We've seen one.

228
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 12: Hundred and seventy thousand bikes chipped in, so maybe we're

229
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 12: also trying to get healthy and use all of those

230
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 12: cycle alone. So anyway, the trade situation that appears to

231
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 12: be getting into better shape, and over all the trade

232
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 12: decent for the quarter seven h nine MILI four point

233
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 12: four bill for the year but this is now in

234
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 12: less than half of what it was in the June

235
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 12: twenty twenty four year when we were important.

236
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 3: Goods like crazy.

237
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: Give me the other numbers, yes, So what have we got?

238
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 12: They've got the down up point two percent forty four

239
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 12: to four to two five. We've got the S and

Speaker 2: hundred and eighty eight tons of rare Earth permanent magnets

257
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: last month, which is one hundred and sixty percent up

258
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: on the month before. And who bought them. America their

259
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: importation went up six hundred and sixty percent, second biggest producer,

260
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: second biggest buyer in the world, only behind Germany. And

261
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: of course China holds the rare earth market by the

262
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 2: throat at ninety percent of the global supply. Six twenty

Speaker 2: the same thing. He accepts now. I believe because the

312
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: evidence is overwhelming that the business of having people come

313
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: to the country and invest in the country to the

314
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: tune of millions is good and is happening and is

315
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: happening in numbers, and therefore they just might like to

316
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: buy a house. And so the National Party went to

317
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: him said, let's make it five you don't like two,

318
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: Let's make it five million. Let's make it six million, Winston,

319
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: but he's dicking them around and they need to sort

320
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: that out quick smart twenty three to seven much Richard

321
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: arm the stateside shortly, ACC meantime back here, got an

322
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: update for you. We're have an accounting change that produces

323
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: ACC's estimated liability by seven billion. Essentially, they're dropping the

324
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: risk margin from twelve percent down to zero, which makes

325
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: the books look better. So what does that actually mean,

326
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: warre enforced, It is, ay an ACC lawyer and researcher,

327
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: and as well 's Warren morning, good morning. This is

328
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: just protection stuff, and is it? I mean, it's stuff

329
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: that may or may not happen, and you adjust some

330
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: numbers around that. I mean, nothing's actually happened apart from attitude.

331
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

332
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 14: That's pretty much that. Like in the late nineties, Labor

333
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 14: and National GOP together and said, look, we're going to

334
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 14: fully fund ACC. How much money do we need? And

335
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 14: each year the amount of money that they think they

336
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 14: needed went up, and just behind that, the amount of

337
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 14: money that they had went up. So we've been growing

338
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 14: these a SC funds twenty five years, and in twenty

339
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 14: twenty three, ACC had forty seven billion in the bank.

340
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 14: It says it needed fifty one billion to fully fund it,

341
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 14: so it's about ten percent apart. That's kind of what

342
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 14: we see that in twenty twenty four they did it

343
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 14: and they said, look, we've only got forty eight billion

344
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 14: in the bank, we need sixty billion.

345
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 10: We've got a problem.

346
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 14: So they just effectively recalculated what they need. But in

347
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 14: the meantime they sent the message out that ACC's broke.

348
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 14: Levies have gone up, people have been starting to be

349
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 14: thrown off the scheme. But now they've recalculated, they say, okay,

350
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 14: well we need seven billion less, so back in the

351
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 14: same territory of sort of tenh cent apart. But in

352
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 14: the meantime all the levees have gone up and people

353
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 14: have been picked off, and that sort of now we've

354
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 14: seeing the message we don't need that much money anymore.

355
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 14: But in effect there's been no real change. It doesn't

356
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 14: change how it operates in people's lives. But from a

357
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 14: political point of view, they all sort of had each

358
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 14: other on the back and say, haven't with nothing.

359
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: Great exactly that's very well explained. Congratulations on that. Does

360
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 2: this include the sexual abusis court case stuff where they

361
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: don't seem to know what the number may or may

362
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: not be. We're guessing at that one as well.

363
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 14: Yeah, so that was part of the thing last year.

364
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 14: And again going back acc used to pay those claims

365
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 14: in the late nineties, are like, oh, we'll save a

366
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 14: whole have a money by not paying those people. And

367
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 14: then last year they said, oh, we've got to pay

368
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 14: them again, so that they increased what they said was

369
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 14: a liability there by three point five billion. But basically

370
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 14: what's happened is very few of those people have got

371
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 14: any help. Asus's only paid out something like fifty million

372
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 14: or one hundred million of that number, and that's because

373
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 14: the process is so slow. But you've got to know,

374
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 14: if you put aside the politics and you think of

375
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 14: the impact of people when all these things change backwards

376
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 14: and forwards. People who are paying levies in their businesses

377
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 14: or on fuel, people who are injured are at home.

378
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 14: The government's saying, oh, we're going to cut there's twenty

379
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 14: thousand people here and it looks like nothing's wrong with them,

380
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 14: and we're going to rehabilitate them. But actually what they're

381
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 14: doing is they're going through one person by person and

382
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 14: they say, well, you've only got a sprain you should

383
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 14: bear back at work, and they're ignoring the actual injuries

384
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 14: that the people have. So it's the same for sexual abuse,

385
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 14: it's the same for people who are injured by accident,

386
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 14: it's the same for work injuries. We need a mature

387
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 14: approach from our political parties so that we can actually

388
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 14: do the stuff sensibly in the long term without these

389
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 14: sort of lurching for one way to another which.

390
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: We see constant tinkering. Appreciate it, Warren Well explained Warren Forster,

391
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: who's an a sec lawyer and researcher. And of course

392
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: you've got to remember that the return to surplus, this

393
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: is Nicola willis the return to surplus, which may or

394
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: may not happen in twenty eight twenty nine, is predicated

395
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: on the idea that the acc numbers aren't in there

396
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: because she just decided that well, she decided that if

397
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 2: they were in there, she wouldn't be returning to surplus.

398
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: So that's how we're being mucked around with Richard Arnold.

422
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: chairman of netball on yesterday telling us how wonderful netball was,

423
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: until I saw Echinasia go well, I'm not going to

424
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: be here next year, and I don't know if there's

425
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: any money in netball, and I don't even know if

426
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: it's a professional sport. Meantime, across the Tasman, he is

427

Speaker 2: a wake up call for rugby. How bad is rugby?

428
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 2: Rugby's bad? So the Lions are in town. I raised

429
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: this the other day. I said, do is the Liones

430
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: thing still a thing when you're playing the Wallabies and

431
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: the Wallabies are useless? Anyway? Turns out I might have

432
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 2: been right on that. So by way of comparison. Third

433
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: state of bo League? How many people watch that on Telly?

434
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: Four point eight million?

435
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: Is that a lot?

436
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 10: Yes?

437
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: It is?

438
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: Why because league's popular? Four point eight million? How many

439
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: people watch the Lions game the other night? Eight hundred

440
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: and sixty one thousand. Hey, you're not worried about that,

441
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 2: You're not awake?

Speaker 15: Peace of mind for New Zealand business.

444
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: You America, Richard Arland, Good morning morning. Make so the

445
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: House is closing August, Well, it was supposed to be August,

446
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: but the closing a bit early.

447
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, nothing for US politicians to be doing

448
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 16: in Washington, DC apparently so, Yeah, House Speaker Mike Johnson

449
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 16: is sending him home early for this summer holidays here.

450
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 16: That means they will avoid any vote on releasing the

451
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 16: full files over the Jeffrey Epstein pedophilia case. As President

452
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 16: Trump is still seething, it appears, over the growing megabacklash

453
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 16: concerning the case. Republican Thomas Massey said he would join

454
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 16: with Democrats of force a vote on releasing those files

455
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 16: dealing with the crimes of Epstein, whom Trump one labeled

456
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 16: a quote unquote terrific person. Trump and Epstein because took

457
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 16: part in the early nineties in a so called calendar

458
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 16: girl party for young women hosted at Marrilago. They were

459
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 16: the only males at the event. It seems Epstein's ex girlfriend,

460
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 16: Stacy Williams, says Epstein and Trump were quote unquote best

461
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 16: friends and again quote up to no good. The White

462
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 16: House denies her accusations, including her claim that she was

463
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 16: physically abused by Trump. At the White House a short tobago,

464
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 16: Trump was questioned about the Epstein files once more, and

465
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 16: about a new move to have a former Trump lawyer

466
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 16: interview Jelaine Maxwell, the former Epstein associate now serving a

467
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 16: twenty year jail term. Over all of this Epstein Epstein,

468
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 16: I don't know anything about any of that, says the president.

469
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 16: Here's how he responded when he was pressed about this

470
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 16: Sidney Oval office.

471
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 4: I don't know about it, but I think it's something

472
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 4: that would he sounds appropriate to do.

473
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 17: You general, as your former attorney.

474
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: No, I have no concern that he's very he's a

475
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 4: very talented person. He's very smart.

476
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 9: I didn't know that they were going to do it.

477
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 4: I don't really follow that too much.

478
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 16: Yeah, don't follow that stuff, says trub who has been

479
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 16: notably signed for the past couple of days. As the

480
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 16: White House floods the zone, as they like to put it,

481
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 16: they called for release of the files, not the Epstein files,

482
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 16: but the Martin Luther king Or files. And then some

483
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 16: more files, not the Epstein files, but the Hillary Clinton

484
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 16: email service files. Then Trump suggested he might intervene over

485
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 16: the renaming of the Washington Redskins as the Commanders to

486
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 16: do away with the old racist team name more diversions.

487
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 16: Speaker Johnson says, the whole issue should be allowed to

488
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 16: cool down.

489
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: We're not going to play political games with this.

490
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: We've all been very clear and transparent.

491
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 16: That is not the view of most of the Mega faithful,

492
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 16: of course. Republican activist Mantrie Taylor Green says, quote, if

493
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 16: there is no justice and no countability, people are going

494
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 16: to get sick of it. That's where people largely are

495
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 16: end quote. Trump also accused former President Obama of treason

496
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 16: during his overlofs appearance this day, without giving any details.

497
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 16: Seemed to be referring to a move years ago by

498
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 16: Obama to okay an inquiry into an intelligence assessment of

499
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 16: Russia's election interference, and so flooding the zone again, putting

500
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 16: up so many issues at fuel the mega base in

501
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 16: hopes that mega supporters of Trump will reached their own,

502
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 16: well his own stance. Jeffrey Epstein Epstein.

503
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: Who then we come to well related matters. Colbert was

504
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: back for Monday.

505
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 17: That's right.

506
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 16: In just about every US television comedian and many others

507
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 16: turned up on the CBS Late Show set with Stephen

508
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 16: Colber last night. This was his first show since CBS

509
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 16: announced they were ending Late Night after decades. They say

510
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 16: the reason was financial, had nothing to do with the

511
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 16: way Colbert had been slamming his own network for Agreen

512
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 16: to pay sixteen million dollars us to Trump to settle

513
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 16: that lawsuit with the network's legendary sixty minutes news show.

514
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 16: Trump had sued them, claiming they missile the edited an

515
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 16: interview with Kamala Harris during the elections. Most analysts say

516
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 16: they saw the lawsuit as bogus. The CBS parents Paramount

517
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 16: is in merger talks with sky Dance, and Paramount's boss

518
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 16: favored the Trump payout in order to overcome Trump administration

519
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 16: regulatory hurdles. Colbert called the payout a quote big fat bribe.

520
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 16: That's the backdrop too. Last night, where Colbert, Colbert was

521
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 16: back in the spotlight saying this.

522
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say

523
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 4: what I really think about Donald Trump, starting right now.

524
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: I don't care for him.

525
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 16: Comedians Jimmy Kibble, Jimmy Fallon, John Stewart, along with musicians

526
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 16: in Manuel Miranda and others including Anderson Cooper and he

527
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 16: Cohen many others did cameos for the show last night,

528
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 16: which continues till May of next year. Stewart, who used

529
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 16: to work with on The Daily Show, did a profanity

530
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 16: ladland rant on his program last night.

531
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 5: Here is just a little part of.

532
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 4: That institutions that have chosen not to fight the vengeful

533
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 4: and vidictive actions of our pubic hair doodling commander and ship.

534
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 13: This is not the moment to give in.

535
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: I'm not giving in.

536
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 13: I'm not going anywhere.

537
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 16: I think there was lots of abusive language. Can't run

538
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 16: most of it, Mike, but cannot recall anything like this

539
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 16: on American television in the modern era.

540
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: Right might seen a couple of days Richard arn Stateside.

541
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: And by the way, they booted the Wall Street Journal

542
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 2: because of the Epstein slash Rupert Murdoch lawsuit. They booted

543
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal off the press pool when it

544
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: comes to the upcoming trip to Scotland for Trump. So

545
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: it was who was the first run account? Who was

546
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: at AP or Ruters? Whoever it was, It's now the

547
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal.

548
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: Light away from seven, The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's

549
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: real estate news talks did be.

550
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: Isn't it bulls and deep deep trouble in this country? Clearly.

551
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 2: So we had met winnerra on yesterday and they changed

552
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 2: the rules around overseas players and all that sort of stuff.

553
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: And I asked Matt about and he was busy spooking.

554
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: He's a good bloke and why wouldn't you use the

555
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: chairman of the board. You got to sprink the sport.

556
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: And he says things are good and the crowds are

557
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: up and all that sort of stuff. They don't have

558
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 2: a broadcast deal anyway. In the afternoonck Andasio comes out

559
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: and goes by the way, next year, I'm not there.

560
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 18: And this is why it's a bit of a shame

561
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 18: actually to see nepple in this state, in New Zealand,

562
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 18: you know, where it's been such a prolific sport for

563
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 18: such a long time. The only thing we do know

564
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 18: is we are one hundred percent taking a pay cut

565
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 18: and we just don't know how much yet. So I'm

566
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 18: actually just waiting to see if it's a viable employment

567
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 18: option anymore so, which is kind of the space of

568
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 18: where we're sitting. And you know, so who knows if

569
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 18: I'll actually be back out on the court again.

570
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 2: So who's right, Matt or her? Five minutes away from seven?

571
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 3: Well, the ins and the outs.

572
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business fiber, take your business productivity

573
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: to the next level.

574
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: Now, retail good news confidence found in the retail sexers.

575
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 2: So we'll get into that. I have more good news.

576
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: How much good news have you got? Mike, got so

577
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: much good news? The next wave of New Zealand workers overall,

578
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: they're confidence in what this country can provide them. How

579
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: good is that to hear? This is from Skills Group.

580
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: They're the country's largest private training establishment. They do specific programs, academic, practical, jobs,

581
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: the whole lot. Anyway, they did a survey. They found

582
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: that sixty three percent feel very or extremely confident about

583
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: their future. Sixty two percent so they expected the qualifications

584
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: to support their career progression. So that's good. The group

585
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: that's lagging behind it it's the old school leader. The

586
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: old school leaders a bit down on themselves at the moment.

587
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: There's too much vaping, I put it down to. Anyway,

588
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: these are the under seventeenth, seventeen or above. The confidence

589
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 2: rating three point seven out of five when it comes

590
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: to their career all progression. But the under seventeen's the

591
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: school leaders, they're down at two point six out of five.

592
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: Got to stop hanging around at the dry buying the

593
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 2: Boston bun and the vapes get into life. Remote learners

594
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: that are the most confident. I wonder if that's because

595
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: they don't have to go to assembly. Probably they scored

596
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: four point one out of five. A lot of people

597
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: doing the home learning. I was looking at the stats

598
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 2: the other day and if I had none that was

599
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: coming up, I would have prepared better. But I can't

600
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: remember the number. But there are a lot of people

601
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: and an increasing number of people doing home learning in

602
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: this country, which is no mean feat. And don't text

603
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: me saying ah, they as there for thirty minutes a

604
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: day and the computer is more to it than that.

605
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: But it does seem to be a thing. Right that

606
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: good news I talked about on the retail will get

607
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: stuck into that and see what's going on. We'll also

608
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: talk to Nathan Guy because he's the chair of the

609
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: meat They've got the big get together in christ You

610
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: at the moment the red meat sector. Now you all

611
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 2: know about the red meat story. It's a fantastic story.

612
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: I read a report yesterday. America absolutely stuck when it

613
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: comes to local production of red meat. They got a drought,

614
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: they got small herds. They're not going to fix it

615
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: anytime soon. So we're quid's in there. But but, but

616
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: we could be doing so much better if it wasn't

617
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: for those damn pine trees and the subsession with climate change.

618
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: So are they going to do anything about it? There's

619
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: your big question, and that question will be asked after

620
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: the news.

621
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: The only report you need to start your day the

624
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 2: He'd be morning. It is seven past seven. The old

625
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Trev counterbat is raging this week at the Red Meat

626
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: Sector conference. They've made an extra one point two billion

627
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: this year. Red meats so hot right now, but stock

628
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: levels are a problem. We are, as they say, leaving

629
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: money on the table.

630
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 3: So what to do?

631
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: Nathan? Guys, the Meat Industry Association Independent chairing is with us.

632
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: Nathan morning to you, Good morning Mite. It is gutting.

633
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: I suppose, isn't it to know that we could have

634
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: made even more money if we wanted to.

635
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right. We're in really good shape. Returns to

636
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 5: fantastic for our farmers. They've had a real problematic couple

637
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: of years and they've got to spring in their step.

638
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 5: Our processes are doing pretty well buy and large. There's

639
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 5: obviously geopolitical issues and a few headwinds that play with

640
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 5: tariff and a few other things, but if we did

641
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 5: add more volume, we would return more money through to

642
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 5: processes and farmers. Unfortunately, trees have had a bit of

643
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 5: an impact, and that's just the reality of I guess

644
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 5: dealing with the numbers that we have.

645
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 10: To deal with.

646
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: Has anyone managed to square the circle? Because if I'm

647
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: a farmer and somebody offers me more money for my

648
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: farm to plant some trees than they are to sell

649
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: to the family wants to run the cows and the sheep,

650
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: what am I supposed to do?

651
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 10: Well?

652
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 5: That is an issue. I guess you sell to who

653
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 5: you want to. Some farmers have said they didn't want

654
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 5: to sell to trees. They've wanted to sell to their neighbor.

655
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 5: Others have sold to the trees. The government have got

656
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 5: this bill working its way through the Parliament at the

657
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 5: moment that's going to stop and restrict blanket planting of

658
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 5: trees on classes one to six. We support that bill.

659
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 5: The reality is, though there's still opportunities for meat companies

660
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: to make more value out of product. Also, there's another

661
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 5: stream there that's available to them, and that's bobby calves

662
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 5: and there's one point nine million of those processed every year.

663
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 5: If farmers choose to rear some of those stock, and

664
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 5: the beef value chain as the hell of an advantage

665
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 5: for the red meat sector.

666
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: That class one to six thing is that to solve

667
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: a problem or has the horse already bolted, It.

668
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 5: Will solve a problem. But we have lost stock over

669
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 5: the last three years. Might be in the vicinity of

670
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 5: IU was trying to do some numbers on the back

671
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: of an ember last night. Maybe a million lambs, maybe

672
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 5: two hundred thousand beef, four hundred thousand months, and that's

673
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 5: over three years. If you equate that number to today's prices,

674
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 5: it might be in the vicinity of a billion dollars

675
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 5: lost over three years. So it's unfortunate, but I guess

676
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: if we step back and think about the demand, the

677
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 5: demand is incredibly strong, particularly out of the US. Despite

678
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 5: the ten percent tariff, UK eu fantastic. Just went up

679
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 5: to the China market with the PM recently green shoots

680
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 5: appearing there, so we're in very good shape, very positive outlook.

681
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 5: It's fantastic, good stuff.

682
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: Nathan. Nice to catch up with you with a good news,

683
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: Nathan Guy. Meat Industry Association Independent Share Cattle herd sizes

684
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: in America lowest levels in seventy four years. This is

685
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: what I was reading yesterday. There is no sign that

686
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: any of that's changing prices through the roof in America,

687
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: so they're all angsty. It's the new egg story, but

688
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: there is no sign that that's changing anywhere. But the

689
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: demand stays the same. They cannot get enough meat for

690
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: burgers and that's where we fit in. So it's good news.

691
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: Ten minutes past seven, passing more the news, I got

692
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: some Here we go from our light at the end

693
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: of the tunnel file. We found renewed confidence in the

694
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: retail sector, if you can believe it. June numbers say

695
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: nearly seventy percent think they're going to make it through

696
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: to next year. That's up from fifty seven, so that's

697
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: a material increase. Carolyn Young is, of course, the retail

698
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 2: New Zealand chief executive and she's, well, there's Carolyn morning

699
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: to you.

700
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 19: Good morning, thanks for having me.

701
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 20: Not at all.

702
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: Sixty two percent missed their sales target. See I always

703
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: think that's weird. If you set your sales target all

704
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: wrong in Wonky, of course you're going to miss it.

705
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: I mean, depends what you set it at it, don't you.

706
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 19: Well, obviously you're setting yourself target at stock that you're purchasing,

707
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 19: So you're purchasing stock on the expectation that you'll sell us.

708
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 19: And of course you're buying stock six or nine months earlier.

709
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 19: And we had been talking all through twenty twenty four

710
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 19: about the survive to twenty five. But you know, twenty

711
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 19: twenty five hasn't quite been as buoyant as Good hoped. So,

712
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 19: you know, looking ahead, retailers are thinking Christmas is coming,

713
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 19: you know, boxing day sales, you know the Christmas build up,

714
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 19: you know that's going to be a positive. I've already

715
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 19: bought my Christmas in summer stock. I'm starting to look

716
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 19: at paying for it shortly. Sales will return back at

717
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 19: that time by the time we get there with you

718
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 19: know the economic sectors.

719
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: We're looking for, which is my next question. This is

720
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: the critical part the seventy percent. How much of that

721
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: seventy percent is based on all the economists and the

722
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: so called experts saying stand by, stand by, stand by,

723
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 2: the good news is coming versus the so called reality.

724
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: Might we be wrong and therefore their optimism is delusional.

725
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 19: Absolutely. Look, I think there's two factors in here. One

726
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 19: is that you know, all those economic factors the headline

727
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 19: numbers are. You know, everyone's talking up a good talk

728
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 19: and we actually have to see as turn around in

729
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 19: consumer confidence because until consumers see more money and their

730
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 19: wallet at the end of the week before their payday,

731
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 19: then they're not going to go out and spend any money.

732
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 7: No.

733
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: Is it geographic and sectorial in other words, I mean

734
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: some if you can't do well in Queenstown at the moment,

735
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: you're not doing business properly. So is it random depending

736
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: on where you look.

737
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 19: It is definitely in the provinces and rural areas stronger

738
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 19: than it is in Auckland and Wellington, for example. So

739
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 19: you know you're just talking about the rural sector that's

740
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 19: absolutely applicable here. You know, that is really holding up

741
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 19: that those funds are going back into those local economies.

742
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 19: So that's helping more buoyancy in those provincial areas in

743
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 19: New Zealand compared to the urban areas.

744
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Carolyn, Always the joy to have you on

745
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 2: the program, Carolyn Young, Retail New Zealand Chief Executive. Which

746
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: brings us to twelve minutes past seven pask get which

747
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: is this pole out yesterday and this is a very

748
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: good example of what we've just been talking about, the

749
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: tallbot Mills pole. And everyone goes, oh God, it's miserable

750
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 2: for the government. Fifty one percent believe the country is

751
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: on the wrong track. Why to fifty one percent of

752
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: the people believe the country is on the wrong track.

753
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 2: The answer is because it is. But it's not the

754
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: government's fault. It's the previous guver it's fault. They're still

755
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: trying to work the mess through. Seventy six percent say

756
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: the economy was not so good or poor. That's because

757
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: it isn't. It's a statement of fact. It's not a

758
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: political statement. It's a statement of fact. Is the economy

759
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: doing well? No, it isn't. Nobody thinks it is so.

760
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: Then the problematic part of the poll is thirty eight

761
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: percent believe they deserve a second term only forty eight

762
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 2: percent say it's time for quote unquote another party. Who's

763
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: that party? Anyway? More politics? After right thirteen past the.

00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 2: out of the cafeteria or wherever.

772
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 6: You were.

773
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you, and we appreciate, appreciate your time

774
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: very much. A couple of really quick things I didn't

775
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: think were addressed proper yesterday. Where's the comcomon this?

776
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 21: The conversations with a ComCom we had by the legal

777
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 21: teams in advance of proceeding with the deal, and they've

778
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 21: said they don't need to investigate any further.

779
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: And was that predicated on the idea that Discovery said

780
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: we're going to close the shop down anyway, The.

781
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 21: Discussions there are totally confidential to counsel, but I think

782
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 21: you can see from Michael Brooks statement yesterday that it

783
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 21: wasn't commercially viable in the Warner Brothers discovery ecosystem in

784
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 21: New Zealand. So that did potentially put a bit of

785
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 21: a lens on it, but I wasn't in those discussions,

786
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 21: which are kept pretty tight between the legal teams.

787
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 2: They would have to have believed that argument, because there's

788
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: no question there are fewer players in the market now

789
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: owning the New Zealand media.

790
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 21: I think part of it is, obviously these are complementary assets. Yes,

791
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 21: we have sky Open, but where predominantly, as you know,

792
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 21: a pay provider, whereas Discovery in New Zealand is totally

793
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 21: free and we don't have a BVOD platform. So this

794
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 21: is really about complementary assets coming together, which is part

795
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 21: of the context that I think the ComCom would have

796
00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 21: been looking at.

797
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: How long have you and involved in the very real

798
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: prospect of owning it.

799
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 21: The conversation sort of started late last year and then

800
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 21: as we started to look at the opportunity, confluence of

801
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 21: timing and events. So certainly the last month has been

802
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 21: incredibly intense. We only got to finalize the deal and

803
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 21: we announced the next morning, so yeah, it's been a

804
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 21: very busy time who called who? It's definitely just we're

805
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 21: in discussions with Warner Brothers all the time about content,

806
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 21: and I have my counterpart is based up in Singapore.

807
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 21: He and I have talked about is there something more

808
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 21: we could do in this market for a number of

809
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 21: years actually, but this is the timing is right?

810
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: Your comments you say about Television New Zealand. I understand

811
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: your position, But Television New Zealand sports wise now are stuffed,

812
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 2: aren't they?

813
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 4: No?

814
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 21: I don't think so.

815
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: How is it possible that you go to the Rugby Union,

816
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 2: for example, and go, well, we'll take some of the

817
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 2: all Blacks and we'll pop it on to TV three.

818
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: Oh hold on, no, we won't. We might sell it

819
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: to CV and Z.

820
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 10: No, you're not.

821
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 21: I think that the union is the owner of those rights.

822
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 21: So ultimately they've got a decision to make about where

823
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 21: they want to place some of the free toware rights.

824
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 21: It'll be in good discussion with us. But I still

825
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 21: think there's a really.

826
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: I'm just I don't want to bag on TV and said,

827
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: but it just means, and this goes back to the

828
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 2: ComCom thing. You own a tremendous amount of very valuable

829
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 2: real estate now and you have a control over that.

830
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 2: And for some that's hard work now, isn't it.

831
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 21: I mean TV and Z are TVNZ are still the

832
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 21: juggernaut though in this market sixty five percent advertising revenue share.

833
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 21: They have an immense audience. You know they are TV

834
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 21: one is a category of one on that front, so

835
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 21: I don't think you can discount that. And I think

836
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 21: where there are codes who have got big freeware obligations,

837
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 21: my expectation is that TVNZ will be building a very

838
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 21: good foot forward, particularly if they can fold in an

839
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 21: ability to enable a pay platform so they could do

840
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 21: things as events, and I think that's positive. I think

841
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 21: it's a more positive for the local media market.

842
00:39:59,520 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: Equally.

843
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 21: From my perspective, what I'm thrilled about is the opportunity

844
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 21: to make some awesome Kiwi stories good in partnership.

845
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: The was it worth only a dollar? Would you have

846
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: paid real money for it or not?

847
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 21: So, as you know, make something's worth a dollar, it

848
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 21: doesn't mean it's profitable. So you know there are going

849
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 21: to be Warner Brothers, Discovery will be filing their accounts.

850
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 21: Ever knows it's been a challenging time. The opportunity we

851
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 21: have with where the deal is structured is to turn

852
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 21: it into a profitable business alongside the SKYSS.

853
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: So you believe they can be profitable or does it

854
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 2: need sky to make it profitable.

855
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 21: It is a combination of our ability around procuring content

856
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 21: and particularly in the broadcast infrastructure that actually makes means

857
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 21: that we're uniquely placed to actually turn this into a

858
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 21: profitable But.

859
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: The best advice I can offer you is if you

860
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: stick some snooker on TV three. Well, there's an idea.

861
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,840

Speaker 2: Great savings every day. Ask by ten twenty four, how

888
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: what do you reckon happen? You know at the button

889
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: meeting Willison, Hurrel, Nicola and Miles. Is it a meeting

890
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 2: that took on a hopeless amount of hype or was

891
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,320
Speaker 2: it a sign that at times this government and Willison particular,

892
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 2: says stuff that makes them look like they're onto it

893
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 2: when perhaps they're not are the reality in these well

894
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: they meet regularly. Fonterra plays an outside's role in our economy,

895
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 2: and therefore it would be odd if they didn't. But

896
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 2: Nicola has this ponchean. Don't you think of saying stuff

897
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: that might lead you to believe she could produce an

898
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: oozy out of a handbag and blitz the room. She

899
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 2: has the banks, who she keeps telling us a people

900
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: we should not be locked in a dark room with.

901
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 2: She has the supermarkets, who, in her Cluseau type way,

902
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: suggest she's been ferresing about the aisles and has found

903
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 2: astardly deeds. Jacinda had the same predilection when she told

904
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: us the petrol companies were quote unquote fleecing us. It's

905
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: all good stuff for headlines and attention. Of course, it's

906
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: very good, good guy, bad guystuff. If hot air were

907
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 2: rocket fuel, she could have flun to the moon and

908
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 2: back six times. But is your butter any more affordable?

909
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: Of course not, And in that is the problem, not

910
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: with the price, but with Nicola. Wouldn't it be fantastic

911
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: if there was a scandal or a ripoff or some

912
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: highway robbery, wouldn't it be awesome if she could tie

913
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: a butter producer to a chair and water board them

914
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: until they screamed yes, yes, yes, it's true. The real

915
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: price is only three seventy six eight fifty Sadly you

916
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: know it. It's not gonna happen, And presumably as if

917
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 2: she needed it, Miles worked her through the calculations at

918
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 2: last night's meeting. We pay for butter the global price,

919
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: the irony being in this case that's actually good news

920
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: because dairy in general is booming and we need something

921
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: to boom for goodness sake. What we would like to

922
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 2: do versus what we have to do for good reason

923
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 2: are two separate things. That's why butter is the price

924
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: it is. The Real question for Nicola is how many meetings,

925
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: threats and finger waggles does she have to produce for

926
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: no change before someone calls her out for being a

927
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 2: lot of mouth and not a lot of trouser Cosking Mike,

928
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: I'd be interested to hear your view on Mikey Sherman

929
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 2: from TV and Z chasing Myles Hurrle outside Parliament. Frank,

930
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't going to raise that until you did, but

931
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 2: you did, so I can't help myself.

932
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 17: Off for Frank.

933
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: Frank, why did you have to do that? Once again? Mikey,

934
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: who I kind of know but not really, is not

935
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 2: doing the profession any good. Miles isn't a criminal, Miles

936
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 2: isn't a shonky used car dealer. That and Mikey's not

937
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 2: a fair go reporter. You don't chase business people down

938
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 2: the street asking her bloke who doesn't set the buttter

939
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 2: price as though he's el capone. You simply talk to

940
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: a person politely and say, at the appropriate moment, is

941
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: it possible I could have a word, not berate him

942
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: as he tries to cross a wet Wellington street, yelling

943
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 2: and squawking at him. As the polit editor of the

944
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: state run broadcaster. I just wish in this industry for

945
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 2: better and I didn't see it. Sadly. Thanks for raising it, Frank.

946
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: Now you got me upset.

947
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: New Zealand's voice of reason is Mike the mic asking

948
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: breakfast with a Vita, retirement, communities, life your Way news

949
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 1: togs Head been.

950
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 2: A theme of Good News this morning. More good news

951
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: UPco who we've had on the program previously, look them up,

952
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: they're there. I couldn't for the life of me work

953
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 2: out why they ran into trouble. They're electric motorbikes, but

954
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: the electric motorbikes for the farm. They were for the military,

955
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 2: but that was part of the problem. The people who

956
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: were running the company were a bit squeamish about selling

957
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: stuff for the military. Australia Post has got a big

958
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 2: contract with them, and these sort of these sort of

959
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: cool looking electric bikes. Anyway, they fell over and I thought,

960
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 2: how is it possible you've fallen over. You've got modern tech,

961
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 2: they look good. There's got to be a demand for

962
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. Anyway, it was announced yesterday

963
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 2: that they've done a deal. There's a bunch of players,

964
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: including Stephen Tindall, who have come to the rescue and

965
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: they're going to do a whole bunch of stuff that

966
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: are hopefully going to stabilize the company save a few jobs.

967
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: Are going to stay in Mount Munganui, which is where

968
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 2: they're based. I did go to the website yesterday and

969
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 2: if I got offer them as a very small amount

970
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 2: of business advice make navigation of the website a lot easier,

971
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 2: because I wanted to buy one and I couldn't, for

972
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 2: the life of me work out how to do it

973
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 2: in this country. They seem to be able to sell

974
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: me one if I'm in America or indeed anywhere in

975
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 2: the world, but they couldn't do it here.

976
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 17: That's weird because nobody's more technologically savvy than you. Well,

977
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 17: well you can't figure it out?

978
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: Who can precisely? And I asked chet GPT, I said,

979
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 2: how do I buy an UPco in New Zealand? And

980
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 2: it couldn't help me either. So anyway, clearly I'm not

981
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 2: technologically the greatest in the world. But nevertheless, I am

982
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: a person with enough money to buy an UPco, So

983
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 2: I think you'd be interested in selling me one. I

984
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 2: wish them wells.

985
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 22: You look great on an aba around the estate precisely.

986
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 22: That's what I've go I've had to go one, have

987
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 22: you Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good fun on your estate,

988
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 22: well on an estate adjacent to me.

989
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 2: Did you go full throttle? And was the fifty k's

990
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 2: that goes thrilling or a bit?

991
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 22: It was because I did try out the fifty k's

992
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 22: on relatively uneven terrain.

993
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 2: And that was fun.

994
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 17: Yeah, that was pretty good.

995
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 10: Fun.

996
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 2: Good on you? Okay, do you know how much they

997
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: are they've seen twelve or thirteen thousand dollars.

998
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 17: If you can't work the website, there's no way I'm

999
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 17: going to be able to.

1000
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 2: Oh that's true. Okay. Twenty one minutes away from eight

1001
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 2: new chapter for our health system. Today the board got sacked.

1002
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 2: Lester Levey became the commissioner. He was charged with saving

1003
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: money and tidying the place up. As of today, governance

1004
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: Board returns with Lester's chair. I think that's how it works, Lester,

1005
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: morning to you, morning mate, as an exercise of getting

1006
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 2: rid of the hopeless, stabilizing the joint, and getting some

1007
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: fresh blood. And how's that gone.

1008
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 20: Actually, it's been very challenging, Mike, but it's actually gone

1009
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 20: very well. The organization is in much better shape. It's

1010
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 20: more stable, more secure, we're financially on track, and we

1011
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 20: have arrested the long run multi year decline in the

1012
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 20: critical system level performance measures. So I think that it's

1013
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 20: been difficult, challenging, but the outcome has been good and

1014
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 20: we've got a very stable platform to move forward from.

1015
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 2: Did the voluminosity surprise you, yes.

1016
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 20: Yes, Well, I'll give you an indication. In a period

1017
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 20: of the last twelve months, we would have had twelve

1018
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 20: board meetings. We had seventy two commissioner meetings, the last

1019
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 20: one is tonight, and fifty sorry, sixty nine turnaround meetings.

1020
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 20: So we've had a work at a very high cadence

1021
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 20: and workload in order to get through the volume. But

1022
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 20: that was necessary.

1023
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 2: Is am I going to see this when Manee hurts

1024
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 2: and I need a doctor or a nurse or an

1025
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: operating theater.

1026
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 20: Well that's critical question. There has been a very long

1027
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 20: run decline in a system level performance around waiting times,

1028
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 20: immunization rates, productivity, and we have arrested that. So we've

1029
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 20: stopped the decline and we've started the improvement. Just give

1030
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 20: you us rough example, like immunization rates in December we're

1031
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 20: seventy five percent than are eighty two percent, first time

1032
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 20: they've been over eighty four years. But if we can

1033
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 20: get an increase of seven percent like that in six

1034
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 20: seven months and keep doing that, that's when people will

1035
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 20: see the real impact. So I think it's during this

1036
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 20: next twelve months that will get that to the level

1037
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 20: that people will start seeing the impact. Because our whole

1038
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 20: focus is on patient access and we're realistic we need

1039
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 20: to get these to a level where it actually starts

1040
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,720
Speaker 20: making a discernible difference to patients.

1041
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: So you've got you guys, you've got an Infrastructure Committee,

1042
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 2: and you've got a Crown observer as well. Is that

1043
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: too many people?

1044
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 20: Well, it's it's different to what we used to do.

1045
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 20: But I think that there's good people and I think

1046
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 20: the Infrastructure Committee is a big help because we've got

1047
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 20: to have the bandwidth to manage all their projects. There's

1048
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 20: hundreds of them, and they will focus on the more

1049
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 20: significant projects. There's really good established relationships between the people

1050
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 20: who are working through this, So yeah, I think it's

1051
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 20: going to work very well. The big issue is we

1052
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 20: can't work at the cadence of a commissioner a system.

1053
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 20: It won't be as agile as that, but we can't

1054
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 20: work at the cadence of a typical board. We're going

1055
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 20: to have to keep the cadence up in order to deliver.

1056
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 20: Critical thing for me and the organization is we've reached

1057
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 20: this point of turnaround, but we have got a lot

1058
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 20: of work to do to devolve decision making and resources

1059
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 20: close to the action, a lot of work to get

1060
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 20: the clinicians fully involved in decision making, and most of all,

1061
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 20: we have to get modern tools into the hands of

1062
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 20: our workforce in order to do the work in the

1063
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 20: best possible way. And I think the New Zealand health

1064
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 20: system has drifted for some years and the technological advances

1065
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 20: that are available elsewhere aren't all available yet, and so

1066
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 20: we don't have those announcements right yet. But in the

1067
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,879
Speaker 20: next one or four months we have significant announcements about

1068
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 20: modernization of digital and also technological innovation, which will be

1069
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 20: great for our clinicians in particular.

1070
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: All I can do is wish you the very best, Lester,

1071
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: and thank you for the work you've done so far.

1072
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 2: Lester Leeby, who's the commissioner coming chairman? Commissioner now back

1073
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 2: to chairman. And they seem slowly but surely Now it's

1074
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: highly political, but they seem slowly but surely be getting there.

1075
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 2: Seventeen away from eight tas getting riven news out of

1076
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 2: Ireland this morning. Remember they had the Apple thing. In fact,

1077
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 2: they didn't want the Apple thing. Europe took Apple to court,

1078
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 2: Apple lost, Apple appeal, Apple lost again, and so in

1079
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 2: essence they owed the Irish government and a fortune fourteen

1080
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 2: billion euros. So let's make that twenty five twenty six billion.

1081
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars. So the question this happened a couple

1082
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 2: of months ago. The quest was what will aile and

1083
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 2: do with that money? It was a windfall. They weren't

1084
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: expecting it, They ironically didn't want it, but they had

1085
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: to take it. So they've announced overnight that they're going

1086
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 2: to beef up the country's National Development planned. Yes, they've

1087
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 2: got an ENDP, a National development Plan and that's a

1088
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 2: one hundred and twelve billion euro thing for infrastructure. So

1089
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: they're going to put that money into housing, energy, water

1090
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: and transport between twenty twenty six and twenty thirty. So

1091
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 2: that seems wise investment to me.

1092
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: Sixteen two The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on

1093
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio now ad By News Talks.

1094
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 2: That'd be Now, I'm more than happy to accept that

1095
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm a luddite, but you've got to, as a business,

1096
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 2: understand that many of your customers will be luddites technically speaking.

1097
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: So I've been flooded with emails, flooded with texts. You

1098
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 2: can go to go to gardening slash collection slash ubco

1099
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 2: Action Equipment Tower on the MIC, or to Pokey or

1100
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 2: Hamilton will sell you an UPco ask dx mail they've

1101
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 2: got some et cetera. So there's plenty of people have

1102
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 2: got them. So what you need as a company is

1103
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 2: to be able to direct me to those people in

1104
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 2: a way that I understand. Therefore I can do business

1105
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 2: because if you're stuck like me, the connections, you're not

1106
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 2: joining the dots. Now I can ask you this question.

1107
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,800
Speaker 2: I was watching, by the way, I was watching yesterday

1108
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 2: while I was on the bike, a very good podcast.

1109
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: High Performance is the name of the podcast, and he

1110
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 2: does quite good work. The bloke who does it, and

1111
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: look him up and he's sort of interesting anyway, that

1112
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 2: Carlos signs on for an hour, and Carlos signs you

1113
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 2: know the story roughly. If you're an F one fan,

1114
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: you've probably been in the weeds. But it's an hour

1115
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 2: of him just explaining where he's been, what he's done,

1116
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: how he's done it, why he's done it, how difficult

1117
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 2: it was. It's more, it's not really about sport. It's

1118
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: about performance. It's about mental attitude and success in life

1119
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 2: and goals and you know all that stuff. So I

1120
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 2: thoroughly recommend that. But the other thing I do when

1121
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm on my bike is I look at hotels as

1122
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: in reviews, and I'm an av geek, and I look

1123
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 2: at airline reviews and there's a huge industry on YouTube

1124
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: these days of people who do this as a based

1125
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 2: on the fact that they get subscribers and the subscribers

1126
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 2: pay basically, so in other words, they don't go to

1127
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: the hotel for free as a guest at the hotel,

1128
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 2: and they don't fly the airline for free as a

1129
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: guest of the airline, because I think that is gone.

1130
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 2: And yet ironically, yesterday I reading stuff a review of

1131
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 2: a French hotel, and I look to the end and

1132
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 2: the woman who's written the review a New Zealander. She's

1133
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 2: stayed there as a guest at the hotel, and I'm thinking, well,

1134
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 2: what else is she going to say about the hotel

1135
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: other than ah al, don't they fantastic? Right? And then

1136
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 2: I read in the Herald yesterday your Ultimate Guide to

1137
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 2: flying business class for the first time, and I looked

1138
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: to the bottom of the article and what was the

1139
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 2: woman doing. She's flying compliments and memorates who'd upgraded it

1140
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 2: a business? Now what she going to go? I was

1141
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 2: a bit ordinary, The service, food was a bit odd.

1142
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: So I'm asking you this question. In a world where

1143
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 2: there are people who will pay for this experience and

1144
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: give you an honest review because they owe nobody anything,

1145
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 2: therefore they've got some credibility. Is there still room left

1146
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 2: in the media for people to take freebes and then

1147
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 2: pretend that they're honest reviews. Whether they are or not.

1148
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 2: Now they may well be honest reviews. I don't know,

1149
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: but you never know. And that's the point. If somebody

1150
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 2: gives you something for nothing, how can you possibly be

1151
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 2: truthful about it when sometimes the truth needs to be told.

1152
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 2: There's my question for you this morning.

1153
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,720
Speaker 1: Tend to wait the mate Hosking Breakfast with a Vita

1154
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: Retirement Communities News, togs.

1155
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 2: Head Bes Shiven away from it. I can't contain myself.

1156
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 2: So it's hearing on the program tomorrow after eight, and

1157
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 2: I'll let you in on a secret. I've already done it.

1158
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: I did it last night because and the reason I'm

1159
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 2: telling you this but now is I've been dying to

1160
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,800
Speaker 2: ask them about Coldplay. This is the biggest story in

1161
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 2: the world if you think about it this way, that

1162
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 2: it's gone everywhere. It's intergenerational, it's intercontinent, it's into country,

1163
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 2: it's humorous, it's tragic, it's sad, it's entertainment, it's news,

1164
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: it's legals, it's jobs, it's lives, it's seckings, it's upheaval.

1165
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 2: It is the biggest story in the world. And Chris Martin,

1166
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:11,240
Speaker 2: I feel, has not done his job as the person

1167
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 2: who is at least in part responsible for the carnage

1168
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 2: that's ensued. And so I thought last night, I'm going

1169
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 2: to ask goldiad about this until the person who sits

1170
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 2: up the interviews guys, just before you start my no

1171
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 2: questions about jumbo tron or Chris Martin, please stuff there.

1172
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 2: And so we asked, like kiss Cam, yeah, do you

1173
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,399
Speaker 2: run it. You've got a jumbo tron.

1174
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 23: We've never done it, but there. You know, I think

1175
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 23: that all shows are different, like my show is very different,

1176
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 23: be guns In the show and the Coldplay show and

1177
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 23: the Taylor Show, and I think that that's what makes

1178
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 23: stadium shows great. And yeah, it's that's been part of

1179
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 23: their show since the beginning. It's just now it is

1180
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 23: obviously international news for you know, something that I feel

1181
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 23: like lots of lots of people go through and I

1182
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 23: wouldn't say it's any like I doesn't I don't it.

1183
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I mean, let's be honest. I mean

1184
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 2: I feel bad for them. I feel really bad for them.

1185
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 2: I almost think it's an invasion of privacy. I mean,

1186
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 2: I know, you're at a show, and I get all

1187
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: of that, but at some point, destroying somebody's life, you know,

1188
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to feel about You got to

1189
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 2: feel bad about that, don't you. Yeah, I definitely.

1190
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 23: I don't like the way that it's unfolding. And I

1191
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 23: think everyone just has to remember that there's like children

1192
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 23: involved in families.

1193
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 2: And yeah, exactly he's right, isn't he? And he and

1194
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 2: this is why we all love Edgeheran he's done what

1195
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: Chris Martin should have. And all Chris Martin did was

1196
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: front up at the next concert and go just in

1197
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 2: case anyone's here, And he tried to be a smart

1198
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 2: ass about it. And there's a line to be drawn

1199
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 2: between the fun and the frivolity of where that story

1200
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 2: was at at the very beginning of it, and the

1201
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 2: and just as he'd sharing quite rightly pointed out, and

1202
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 2: you don't need too much brain power to work it through.

1203
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 2: Just imagine the impact on those people around the individuals

1204
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 2: concerned and anyway, there was more where that came from tomorrow.

1205
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 2: It was a very good interview. If I can review myself,

1206
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 2: which I am, it was a very good interview. I

1207
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 2: thoroughly enjoyed it. And what I was saying to Katie

1208
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 2: last night was we first interviewed and when did we

1209
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 2: first interview? In what I'm saying, eight nineteen years ago?

1210
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 2: And I did him and it was on me years

1211
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 2: ago something like that, and he was dreadful talent. He

1212
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 2: used to be. He was shy, introspective, he had nothing

1213
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 2: particular to say, and I thought, but he was still

1214
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 2: a big noise and you're thinking, it's a very difficult

1215
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 2: position to be and when you interview somebody who's a

1216
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 2: big deal but they're not actually very good talent. But

1217
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 2: he's come out of himself in recent years and he's

1218
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 2: a very very likable, enjoyable, engaging person. And we had

1219
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: a wonderful time. The other thing I aske him about,

1220
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 2: by the ways, Chris Hemsworth, Now this is worth noting.

1221
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 2: It's not out till next month, but Himsworth and Shearon

1222
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 2: have done a thing that I'll tell you about tomorrow.

1223
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 2: That and Himsworth's show which is called Limitless, that's well

1224
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:16,479

1242
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,880

1243
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: host of Tricia's Southern Kitchen, and you've got a new

1245
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 2: successful at what he does as well. Why then, would

1246
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 2: you build friends in low places? Barren honky Tonk, which

1247
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 2: is a multi story club in the lower rural Bay

1248
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 2: area of Natura, Why would you open a restaurant for

1249
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 2: what possible purpose? Would you go? You're busy, you're flat out,

1250
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: you're making music, You've got a family, and you go,

1251
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 2: shall we open a restaurant? And who needs that?

1252
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 17: Well, it's an a club, So maybe it's a foster

1253
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 17: new talent.

1254
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 2: Not a bad point one, because who do we have

1255
01:00:55,720 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 2: on the other day? Country music? The country music I

1256
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 2: was on the other day? He hit a bar. Jason Noldan,

1257
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: he's opened a bar as well. Maybe that's what you

1258
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 2: do in Nashville.

1259
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 17: Or is it just that you love going to a

1260
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 17: barrens and not having to pay for your drinks?

1261
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 2: Maybe Trusty a year would went to Jason Noldan's bar

1262
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 2: and went, hell, how come I Garth? How come I

1263
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 2: don't have it? Jack Garth, how come we don't have

1264
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 2: a bar? They're quite in cloud.

1265
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 22: I think I think she's American. I don't think she's Pakistani. Sorry,

1266
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 22: there are quite a lot of songs about drinking on

1267
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 22: this album.

1268
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 2: By the way, are they bringing in the angels the

1269
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,360

1273
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 2: See how I catch going out every time? He made

1274
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 2: so much fake news on the show. It's unbelieve it's

1275
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 2: getting embarrassing in the amount of pa ship and fake news.

1276
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 2: Fifteen tracks, forty nine minutes. Let's do a little bit

1277

Speaker 3: I did.

1282
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 2: I had a reason. You don't sound like you mean it, Jenny.

1283
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 2: I had a nice brain.

1284
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 25: I just kind of get it, and I did. Hope

1285
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 25: you did go away.

1286
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. You don't have to ask supplementaries, Jenny,

1287
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 2: just because you've been called out of it.

1288
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 6: No.

1289
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: I didn't go away, and this will help you, Jenny.

1290
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 2: I didn't go away because of the cost of living crisis,

1291
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 2: because I'm too busy paying for the butter.

1292
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 25: Oh my goodness, really couldn't get a stay cation stay home.

1293
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: Yes it was a staycation, but I am I've put

1294
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: some good infrastructure into my country property, did you good? Well?

1295
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 24: Cutting back on dairy mate has been good for you

1296
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 24: because you've come back fired up.

1297
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that.

1298
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 2: That is true. I've never sounded better. I talked to

1299
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 2: myself last night. I said, you never sound a bit

1300
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 2: of Michael, and I agreed with myself. Anyway, Can I

1301
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 2: just compliment you Mark funnily enough? And you could have

1302
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 2: a word with Luxo about this. When you got out

1303
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 2: of the helicopter the other day when you went down

1304
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 2: to Nelson, you had a good pair of chinos on

1305
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 2: a contrasting pair of chinos, and you had a backpack,

1306
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 2: and you look like a bloke, And you look like

1307
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: a bloke he'd been to a few emergency scenes and

1308
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 2: he might be there for the night, whereas Luxo looked

1309
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 2: like a guy who didn't leave the city all that much.

1310
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 2: And he had some rim Williams on and they're a

1311
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 2: bit shiny, you know what I mean. You've got to

1312
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 2: look the part when you turn up at the appropriate locations.

1313
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 2: Am I rid right?

1314
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 6: No?

1315
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 3: He's not interested in what he looks like. He's interested

1316
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 3: in getting on the ground.

1317
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 24: Since I've been Emergency Management Minister, he has been out

1318
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 24: on the ground at every just about every major emergency

1319
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 24: that we've had and with it, without a doubt, the

1320
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 24: people of Tesmond were suffering. And by the way, they

1321
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 24: might just to highlight that he was there just at

1322
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 24: the right time. Because we go through the response, everyone's

1323
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 24: full of adrenaline. It's when the response is over the

1324
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 24: adrenaline's gone and.

1325
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 3: People look and see what they have to deal with.

1326
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 3: That's when you've got to be there to reassure the state.

1327
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 2: Look, we can get through this, good point. Have you

1328
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 2: heard are you at Parliament this morning, Jinny?

1329
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,440
Speaker 25: Yes, I am at my discomponent.

1330
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: Have you heard any whispers about what happened at the

1331
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:00,439
Speaker 2: bar to meeting?

1332
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 4: Not?

1333
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 8: No, I have not, No, I did not.

1334
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 25: I did watch the TV one story and.

1335
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 2: That was shocking, wasn't it?

1336
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1337
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 3: I thought it was.

1338
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 2: But mean, that's yeah, that he's Miles Hurrel is not

1339
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 2: a crook or responsible for the price of your butter directly,

1340
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 2: and he doesn't need to be harangued down the street,

1341
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 2: does he.

1342
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 25: Well, there are fair questions that people want to know

1343
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 25: the answers.

1344
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 13: The right way.

1345
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 25: Yeah, I'm agreeing with you. I don't think it was

1346
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 25: quite the right thing. I mean, he had several meetings

1347
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 25: with different parties, and I think people are really interested

1348
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 25: to know what's in behind some of those prices. But

1349
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 25: it's not it's not just butter. I mean it's it

1350
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 25: was when we had a yarn with him, it was

1351
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 25: about also, particularly in those Asian markets. It's it's protein

1352
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 25: rich foods like milk as wella are really in high demand.

1353
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 25: While that's a that's a good thing for our overall economy,

1354
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 25: it also hurts people who are trying to just buy

1355
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 25: foods kind of cutting.

1356
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 3: I didn't see the one news report, but what was it.

1357
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 2: Mar's horrible is a good god, he's a great guy.

1358
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 2: Mikey Sherman, who's the political editor, sort of tried to

1359
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 2: doorstop and while he was actually walking and sort of

1360
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 2: treated him like he'd done a ram raid. And the

1361
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 2: guy's just there for a meeting and she's going and

1362
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 2: is it too expensive? It's butter too expensive? But too

1363
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: expensive and it's just like he's just walking down the street.

1364
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 24: I tell you what, he's got his shoulders to the

1365
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 24: wheel in terms of promoting US as a country and

1366
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 24: get our products out there.

1367
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 3: And I mean I personally think he does a great job.

1368
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 2: I think he's done a magnificent job. And he's another

1369
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 2: example of why Tao Spearings was a disaster and he

1370
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 2: should have been there all along. Can you explain to

1371
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 2: me were you and the butter meeting, Ginny?

1372
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 25: We were one of the groups that met with a

1373
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 25: mess right, so do.

1374
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 2: You understand how butter is priced? And therefore there's no

1375
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: scandal here at the end of as much as you

1376
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 2: would like to make it into a scandal, there is

1377
01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: no scandal here. We sell to the world in the

1378
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 2: US is the price.

1379
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 25: But the problem we have, Mike is it's not just butter.

1380
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 25: It's the price of electricity, other folk groups and cause

1381
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 25: costs as well, things like rates and insurance. It's all

1382
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 25: of those things, not just butter.

1383
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 2: They travel with that. And this is where Hipkinson's question

1384
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 2: yesterday comes in. The price of electricity is not the

1385
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 2: government's fault and the cost of rates is not the

1386
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 2: government's fault, and so what are the government is supposed

1387
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 2: to do?

1388
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 12: Well?

1389
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 25: I would debate that k Kenning water infrastructure projects across

1390
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 25: New Zealand has resulted in rates increasing. So I would

1391
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 25: say that that one is the government's fault. We had

1392
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 25: a plan in place to fix water infrastructure would have

1393
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,439
Speaker 25: kept rates lower. They threw that out and the cost

1394
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 25: of that is rates going up for you.

1395
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll take a break mark. You can never say

1396
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 2: in a moment. Fourteen past Yeah.

1397
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, cow

1398
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: It by News talks.

1399
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 2: It Balks sixteen Past Night, Jimmy Anderson, Mark Mitchell with

1400
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 2: us Marke Sorry, you were going to say, you want

1401
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 2: to say something about the electricity cost. I mean, you've

1402
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 2: got to cap these councils for start, because that there

1403
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 2: are control and this is inflationary.

1404
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 24: Yeah, and just get them focused back on their core role.

1405
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 24: So you know, that is critically important, and Solomon Watts

1406
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 24: is doing some work around that, and I'll be having

1407
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 24: some input on that too, especially on the emergency management

1408
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 24: side of it, because I've been working with, you know,

1409
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 24: a lot of the councils around the country and certainly

1410
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,439
Speaker 24: see the good things that are happening, but have also

1411
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 24: identified where there's efficiencies that have been gained as well.

1412
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 24: But look at the end of the day on the

1413
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 24: economy is that you know that we've got it. We

1414
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 24: had a mountain of debt, interest rates were extremely high,

1415
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 24: and inflation was high, and under this government we've brought

1416
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 24: all of those things down. What's difficult, we've got there

1417
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 24: are some leavers that the government can pull and we

1418
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 24: are using. We're doing everything that we can to do that,

1419
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 24: and there's some leavers that we don't control.

1420
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 2: What's interesting about that, though, Mark is the pole that

1421
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 2: came out yesterday, and so the question is the country

1422
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:48,919
Speaker 2: going in the right direction and the majority of people

1423
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 2: fifty one percent just say no. Now, politically that doesn't

1424
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 2: play well for you. If you accept your argument, I

1425
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 2: get it. But the politics may well be different. They

1426
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,919
Speaker 2: may well be labor may well be you. Hepkin stands

1427
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 2: up and goes, look at the price of tomatoes, Look

1428
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 2: at the price of butter, Look at the price. And

1429
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 2: everyone goes, yeah, exactly, you're in trouble.

1430
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 24: Well, I mean, we knew that it was going to

1431
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 24: be tough, you know, we didn't take the job on

1432
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 24: knowing it was going to be easy.

1433
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 3: And this is the setting to him around from me.

1434
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 3: I was in the last National Gum til we get

1435
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 3: to do executly the same thing we had to come.

1436
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 24: And clean up the economy and get moving again, where

1437
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 24: this time has been harder because we had more debt

1438
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 24: and infistrates for higher inflation side.

1439
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 3: But we are moving in the right direction.

1440
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 24: We're fully focused on growth and you know we've we've

1441
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 24: been relentless and how we approached it.

1442
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 2: Just being and if you can clear up your signal, yeah, sorry,

1443
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 2: dream in the shower or something.

1444
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 25: Well, I think the problem we've got. The problem we've

1445
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 25: got is that Christopher Luxon promised to make the cost

1446
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 25: of look better, so we went out in an election

1447
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 25: campaign and really upsold the fact that the cost of

1448
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 25: living relief would be coming. So I think your keywis

1449
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 25: are simple in the sense that if they've been promised something,

1450
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 25: they're expecting to see that. And we're a fear way

1451
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 25: into this government now and people are still hurting. So

1452
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 25: I think that's the problem.

1453
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 2: That it's an interesting, interesting eighteen months.

1454
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 24: We're eighteen months and after six years of a labor

1455
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 24: government that put us in the situation that we are in.

1456
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 3: We inherited this issue.

1457
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 24: We're working really hard and by the way it's gone on,

1458
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 24: no I just I just want to correct you on that.

1459
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 24: One is that when you're in government, inflation was at

1460
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 24: seven plus percent, and it was there for way too long.

1461
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 24: We've now got it down to two point seven. When

1462
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 24: you're in government, interest rates people were almost having to

1463
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 24: double what they're paying on their mortgages.

1464
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 3: All right, So now we're now rejecting that.

1465
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, Quick question for you, Jinny. Come. I

1466
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 2: keep wanting to call a Karmela Camilla Balach and her her,

1467
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 2: let's all talk about our.

1468
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 25: Pay and income bill, is Markel said, doesn't he?

1469
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 2: Well, the NATS are on board. What what what's the

1470
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 2: point given that everyone's just going to hate everyone.

1471
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 25: I did read your piece on it, and then I thought,

1472
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 25: of there's patransparency in your workplace. You'd have to make

1473
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 25: your own coffee and definitely make your own cheese toasty,

1474
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 25: because that would be dangerous indeed. So but I think

1475
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 25: the point that is you don't have to tell everyone.

1476
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 25: It just means that your boss can't stop you from

1477
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 25: telling people.

1478
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think, but beyond that, what is it

1479
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 2: going to achieve? Because you know how people are. The

1480
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 2: moment I find out that you're earning more than I

1481
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 2: am I hate you and you hate me and it's

1482
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 2: a bitch session. So beyond that as a piece of law,

1483
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 2: what does it achieve.

1484
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 25: It means that it helps address unfairness in the workplace. Yeah,

1485
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 25: but so fairness, well, I mean I've been in a

1486
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 25: situation where I've had say five years more experience, a

1487
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 25: better qualification, and you find out that someone else is

1488
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 25: getting paid more than you when you feel like you're

1489
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 25: doing the same work all or great event. And so

1490
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 25: those pay gig clauses mean that it means you can't

1491
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 25: just find out where you're at. So more transparency means unfairness, discrimination,

1492
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 25: even long standing sort of gender gaps along those areas.

1493
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 25: And I think that's when supporting they took a head

1494
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 25: on pay equity, and so this is why are.

1495
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 2: You supporting it, Mark, because I can't work it out.

1496
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 24: To be honest with you and what they're engaged in

1497
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 24: this isolio. I think as long as it's not compulsory,

1498
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 24: I think that's that's important.

1499
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 2: You want to put your chinos on and grab a

1500
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:23,719
Speaker 2: backpack and bugger off to situation.

1501
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we need a break. We need a

1502
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 3: break from the from the weather stuff. I think the

1503
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 3: Old Country does. But yeah, as long as not compulsory.

1504
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: Who would have who would have made the decision? How

1505
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 2: does the party who would have made the decision to go, Yep,

1506
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 2: we'll we'll back that.

1507
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 24: Who decides, Well, ultimately it's a it'll be a caucus decision,

1508
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 24: but of course it will be the portfolio holder.

1509
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 2: What was it for portfolio? Who's what? What's what's Camilla's portfolio?

1510
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 2: What's under what? Specific?

1511
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 3: That's probably that's probably.

1512
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 2: How is supporting this?

1513
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 25: Which is not? That's any national So when New Zealand

1514
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 25: first and at aren't supporting it, but national are, so

1515
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 25: that indicates that they felt they took a hit on

1516
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 25: pay equity, that people were angry about that. So this

1517
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 25: is some kind of appeasement towards them.

1518
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 24: Well, well, it's weird that you call in your own

1519
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 24: bill and appiecement. Either you back it or you don't.

1520
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 25: But now I'm saying you are appeasing pay the fact

1521
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 25: that you voted down to pay equity, and it's weird.

1522
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 2: Can you can you mark find out just who changed

1523
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,160
Speaker 2: your mind? Well, you know who decided national this is

1524
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 2: the thing, because I just think it's weird. Jenny, real

1525
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 2: quick the by election in Tom McKee Mikado. How intense

1526
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 2: do you think the battle will be? Is this a

1527
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:36,120

01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:37,000

1532
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:46,479

1533
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:47,960

1534
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 25: Well by elections are always harder to engage people. We

1535
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,519

1544
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,160

Speaker 10: Oh?

01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 2: Chat GPT good place to start, But who's to say

1547
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: that information is accurate? And where is it's sourcing those

1548
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 2: answers from anyway? So how about an HR consultant or

1549
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 2: a lawyer. Well, the time spent answering those questions will

1550
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,560
Speaker 2: add up very very quickly and hit you where it

1551
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 2: hurts most and you know where, or or you could

1552
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 2: simply ignore the problem. I hope it goes away. Not

1586
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 2: is that the Serious Fraud Office, so the police were

1587
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 2: looking into it. That's now the Serious broad Office has

1588
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:28,720

Speaker 15: for New Zealand business in Australi we go.

1595
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 2: Stephen, A very good morning to you. Now this business

1596
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 2: of the superfund and the super tax, I'm reading a

1597
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,919
Speaker 2: very good piece this morning that it's it's some researchers

1598
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 2: coming out from a think tank I think today around

1599
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 2: tax and around changes, and they're suggesting that Australia, unless

1600
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 2: you get your act together and fairly quickly, Australia risks

1601
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 2: becoming quote unquote a welfare state without spending and productivity fixes.

1602
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 2: And this dovetails into yesterday in the opening of Parliament

1603
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 2: and Albanisi and the poll that came out that says

1604
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 2: that Australia really, although electing alban easy with vast numbers,

1605
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 2: is not in for major upheaval in terms of policy

1606
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 2: and tax and all of that. So where are we at?

1607
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, that sounds right. I mean, this superannuation tax is

1608
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 10: something that's sat in the Parliament for two years, flared

1609
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,759
Speaker 10: up again during the election campaign, a lot of critics

1610
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 10: of it. Basically, what everyone's upset about is anyone who's

1611
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,759
Speaker 10: got a fun that has more than three million dollars

1612
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 10: in it, and that sounds generous, I know will be

1613
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 10: taxed if this law goes through unrealized profits. So say

1614
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 10: you've got three and a half million on the five

1615
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 10: hundred thousand over three if you're making profits on shares

1616
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 10: that you might hold, or worse, if you are a

1617
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 10: farm and a farmer has his in a super fund

1618
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 10: and that farm makes a profit, normally everything over the

1619
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 10: three would be taxed at a rate of fifteen percent.

1620
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 10: Now huge funds has come out today and I'm suspicious

1621
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 10: of this. It's called host Plus. It's got one point

1622
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 10: eight million members. Mainly these super funds are industry funds

1623
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 10: with union members as members. They've come out and said, look,

1624
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 10: there's not been enough consultation, we need to reconsider this,

1625
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 10: and Jim Chalmers, you need to have another think about it. Now.

1626
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 10: This fund includes on the board the former United Workers'

1627
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 10: Union State Secretary bo called Gary Bollock and the ex

1628
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 10: Prime Minister Kevin Rudds daughter Jessica Rutt. Now I suspect

1629
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 10: that charmers in the back channel has got this super

1630
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 10: fund to come out and criticize his own super tax

1631
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 10: in a bit to get the conversation back up and

1632
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 10: rolling to allow him to roll it back. Am I

1633
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 10: being cynical? Am I being a little suspicious? Yes? I am,

1634
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 10: But that's what it's to me. Is written all over that.

1635
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 2: Let me quote you the poll from yesterday. This is

1636
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,799
Speaker 2: regards the tax system. Thirty six percent believe the government

1637
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 2: should use its majority for major reform. Thirty two percent

1638
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 2: are oppose to that. Thirty two percent don't know. Not

1639
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,719
Speaker 2: a lot of support for changing the base around GST.

1640
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 2: So what do you reckon the vibe? Is a people

1641
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 2: up for much or not?

1642
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 10: I think people would wear a GST increase. I mean,

1643
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 10: it's difficult that the states's got to all agree and

1644
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 10: the federal government, and to get all the states and

1645
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 10: the federal government to ground anything's the most impossible. But

1646
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 10: I think people would prefer a simple explanation of why

1647
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 10: we need to we're broke, we need to get productivity

1648
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 10: up and running, and we need to get people to

1649
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,839
Speaker 10: pay more tax But people don't want more personal taxes.

1650
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 10: The states are whacking them hard enough as it is,

1651
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 10: and so what they would prefer, I believe, is to

1652
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 10: have a slight increase on the GST and cut a

1653
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 10: number of other fringe taxes and get them out of

1654
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 10: their lives, out with.

1655
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 2: The calm games.

1656
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 10: Oh my god, Harold Zun's got this story this morning.

1657
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 10: Ever heard of Gout Gout Oh the runner, Yes, fastest

1658
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 10: man in the world. They say he could be the

1659
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 10: best ever. He's going to run up the twenty twenty

1660
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 10: six Conwath Games in Glasgow. This guy is a genuine

1661
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 10: Olympic chance for gold when it gets to Brisbane. He's

1662
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 10: only sixteen years old. He's a running sensation. Gout's management

1663
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,959
Speaker 10: has confirmed her race in the one hundred meters in Glasgow.

1664
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 10: Now remember who was funding the Glasgow Games. Victoria has

1665
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 10: spent three hundred million getting out of running the games.

1666
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 10: Can you imagine what it would have been like having

1667
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 10: Goutgout run around the mcg and the one hundred meters

1668
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 10: of the Coonwak Games next year. It's not only that

1669
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:52,799
Speaker 10: it gets even worse. You are talking about Australian swimmers,

1670
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 10: people like Ariane and Tipmas. I mean they are just superstars. Well,

1671
01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 10: they're going to go up against Canadians swimming Super Summer

1672
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 10: Macintosh and it's going to be billed the guns as

1673
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 10: one of the most exciting ever in history of the

1674
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 10: Commonwealth Games.

1675
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:12,879
Speaker 2: It's all for today, Oh Dan Andrews.

1676
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:13,679
Speaker 10: Good on you, mate.

1677
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what, seriously, what a political genius

1678
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 2: Melbourne University, which my daughter, by the way, still speaks

1679
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:24,639
Speaker 2: very highly of. I haven't quite worked out why she's

1680
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:26,719
Speaker 2: doing well in life, so I'm assuming that's the reason.

1681
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 2: But hiring a vape polic well, yeah it is. But

1682
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 2: they're hiring a vape policeman.

1683
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 10: So I mean, well, you know university, so Parkville is

1684
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 10: where it is at. As you know, this person is

1685
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 10: going to be paid one hundred thousand dollars a year.

1686
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 10: The ad was up yesterday. It's the role of Vaping

1687
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 10: Prevention Project Officer. The candidate will, I'm reading from the ad,

1688
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 10: lead Parkville University's impactful vaping Prevention project, which will make

1689
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 10: a lasting impact on student help. It will include creating

1690
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 10: a vaping prevention plan, delivering rip shops, and promoting anti

1691
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 10: vaping campaigns to students. As if they're going to listen

1692
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 10: to that. The ad goes on to say, I might

1693
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 10: apply for this. Actually, you'll lead a groundbreaking initiative to

1694
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:13,799
Speaker 10: address vaping among unique students. Your role will be crucial

1695
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 10: in shaping healthier campus environments and contributing to impactful research

1696
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 10: on vaping prevention strategies. How's that for a job?

1697
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 2: Fantastic? All right, mate, you're on Friday, so I look

1698
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 2: forward to your company. This deprice out of Australia. That report,

1699
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 2: by the way, which is coming out today, talks about

1700
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 2: GDP growth in Australia being subdued. It's the Center for

1701
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 2: Independent Studies productivity and economic growth being affected by overall

1702
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 2: government spending. And they give some numbers. These are for

1703
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 2: all the New Zealanders looking to scarper, thinking that Australia

1704
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 2: is the land of milk and honey. Spending by all

1705
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 2: levels of governments has increased from about thirty four to

1706
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 2: thirty five percent of GDP in the late nineties to

1707
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. It's now between thirty eight and

1708
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:52,560
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent and growing. Now listen to this and

1709
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 2: see it applies, they argue to them, but also to us.

1710
01:21:55,920 --> 01:22:01,440
Speaker 2: It has created all of this largess created a formidable

1711
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:06,560
Speaker 2: block of people who are reliant on government expenditure opposed

1712
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 2: to restraint. The honeymoon of debt funded large es is over.

1713
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Without a determined reset of expectation, Australia risks sliding into

1714
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 2: a European style welfare state. And there they go, and

1715
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 2: there we go as well. I sixteen to two, The

1716
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:29,639
Speaker 2: Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by News

1717
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 2: Talks at B thirteen away from nine. I won't bore

1718
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 2: you with a fine detail. But Trump had to go

1719
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 2: at Obama. It's all part of this idea that we

1720
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 2: need to distract you from Epstein. And so he was

1721
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 2: banging on about Obarma and what a crook Obama was,

1722
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 2: and now he's going to chase a barmar. He should

1723
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 2: have put Clinton in jail, as in Hillary, but he didn't,

1724
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 2: and now he's going to try and put Obamara in jail.

1725
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 2: He was off and running about that, and then he

1726
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 2: was talking about the office. He was sitting there with

1727
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 2: the President of at the Philippines, Marcos, in the office,

1728
01:22:57,640 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 2: and he was going, Obama was here and he was

1729
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:00,600
Speaker 2: doing this, and he was doing that, and then all

1730
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:01,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden he did this.

1731
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 4: This is much more beautiful than it was then. But

1732
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 4: that's okay. I have nice pictures up. They came out

1733
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 4: of the vaults. They were in there for one hundred years.

1734
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 4: This is much more beautiful. We have the Declaration of

1735
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 4: Independence now in the room, which wasn't here. I guess

1736
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 4: people didn't feel too good about putting.

1737
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 2: It here, but I do I knew anyway, he went

1738
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 2: on about magnets. Now, I mentioned earlier on the export

1739
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 2: of magnets. This is rare earths. So Johina's got a

1740
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 2: stranglehold of rare earth magnets, and Germany's the biggest buyer

1741
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 2: of magnets in the world. But in the last month

1742
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:37,679
Speaker 2: the importation of magnets to America has gone up six

1743
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty percent. So you need it for all

1744
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 2: sorts of things like microscopes and also electric cars. So

1745
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 2: so Trump was on, he was on the magnets.

1746
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 4: I don't mind if he gets along with China, because

1747
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 4: we're getting along with China very well. We have a

1748
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 4: very good relationship in fact, the magnets, which is a

1749
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 4: little complex piece of materials. But the magnets are coming out,

1750
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 4: you know very well, where they're sending them in record numbers.

1751
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 4: That we're getting along with China very well. And I

1752
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 4: don't mind if the president dealt with you know, if

1753
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 4: that's meant because I think he has to do what's

1754
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 4: right for his country. I've always said, you know, make

1755
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 4: the Philippines great again, do whatever.

1756
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 10: You need to do.

1757
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 2: Say I've always said, make the Philippines the way saying Mepper.

1758
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 2: He did announce that they had struck a deal Indonesia.

1759
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 2: They announced the deal the other day at nineteen percent

1760
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 2: on tariffs. He's also done the same thing with the

1761
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 2: Philippines at nineteen percent. So he's got a beautiful office.

1762
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 2: He's going to put Obama in jail. There will be

1763
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 2: no votes on Epstein and the Philippines is great again.

1764
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 17: Magnets and the magnets like those that are pretty complex.

1765
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,800
Speaker 2: Those magnets, they're they're just flying off the shelf.

1793
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 2: tomorrow and he gave me last night when I did

1794
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 2: the interview ahead of tomorrow, said do you want some tickets?

1795
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 2: What's that effect? I said sure, read why not? And

1796
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,560
Speaker 2: I said not for me, because then I'll be like

1797
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 2: those reviewers who fly on planes and go to hotels

1798
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 2: and go, oh, ED was the greatest concert in the world,

1799
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:24,799
Speaker 2: and they'll go, oh, did you pay for the tickets?

1800
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 2: I'll go no, Ed gave them to me and go, well,

1801
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 2: of course you'd say that, and so I'm not like that,

1802
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 2: but I'll give them to you if you want them.

1803
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 2: So this is the big loop to it. He's here

01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,679
Speaker 2: at Auckland, Wellington christ Church in jan of next year.

1805

Speaker 2: Tickets aren't on sale till next Tuesday unless you know Ed.

1806
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,320

1809
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 17: Can I have some tickets? If I promised to say

1810
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 17: the concert was crap?

1811
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 2: No, you cannot. You can come to my box. Actually

1812
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 2: no you can't. I'm intes away from nine.

1813

Speaker 1: Trending now with Chemist ware House great savings every day.

1814
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 2: Right, let me tell you about poor old Howard before

1815
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 2: we go. Howard's in court and so Howard ran out

1816
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 2: of money in retirement. He figured the best way to

1817
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 2: earn some money was to become a spy for Russia.

1818
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 2: So issue wasn't actually a spy. He'd never done any

1819
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 2: intelligence work before, he hadn't done any training. He did

1820
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 2: fill out a couple of MI five application forms back

1821
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen, another one twenty twenty four but they

1822
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 2: didn't go anywhere because he doesn't have a university degree.

1823
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 2: That probably won't come as a surprise anyway. The whole

1824
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 2: thing's fallen apart because he met what he thought were

1825
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:37,839
Speaker 2: Russians and he was giving them the address and landline

1826
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 2: of his local MP, who happens to be a guy

1827
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 2: called Grant. Now Grant also happens to be the Defense Secretary,

1828
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: so you're not supposed to do that sort of stuff. Now.

1829
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 2: The problem for Howard was these guys he was meeting

1830
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 2: weren't Russians. They turned out to be MI I five

1831
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 2: under cover. And this all played out in court. What

1832
01:27:54,720 --> 01:28:00,080
Speaker 2: do you know about the Secretary of Defense in the

1833
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 2: United Kingdom. I do not want, and cannot, for myself,

1834
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 2: go back into the norm nine to five office.

1835
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 11: It's not for me, It never was for me.

1836
01:28:11,680 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 18: But I did it.

1837
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 12: I feel that over many, many years, there's been a

1838
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:20,800
Speaker 12: lot of discredit accorded towards Russia.

1839
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of it is absolutely rubbish.

1840
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to have to rely on having to

1841
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 2: go back to work now. If I am financially independent

1842
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 2: of the UK, then I don't have to be part

1843
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,639
Speaker 2: of it in any way. You can see his playing,

1844
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 2: can't you. He's a genius. Anyway, The jury, upon hearing that,

1845
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 2: decided that he's also a plunker, so they found him

1846
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,640
Speaker 2: guilty of assisting what do you believe to be the

1847
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 2: Russian intelligence agents. But he's in breach of the National

1848
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 2: Security Actor. And what will happen is he will go

1849
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:55,919
Speaker 2: to jail.

1850
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 17: All for just because he wanted to work from home,

1851
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 17: basically exactly.

1852
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,600
Speaker 2: So he will be home a new home, and it

1853
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 2: won't be a four day week.

1854
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 17: I mean, he won't be going back to work. That

1855
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 17: is true.

1856
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 10: That is true.

1857
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:09,640
Speaker 2: He will not be working. He will be on his

1858
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:13,679
Speaker 2: majesty or his majesty's pleasure. Back tomorrow morning from six
