1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Together do for c Ellen and with us now is 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: Jamie mckaye, Host of the Country, Hey Jamie. 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you here. They can't defend the indefensible 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 2: bug of the gangs, and I just want to say 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 2: I'm agreeing with you too much here at the night 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 2: Heather Jared Kerr from Kiwi Bank bang on a fifteenth 7 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: point rate cut on October nine. I think Adrian Or 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 2: can officially claim success for one job or one thing 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: he's done well as a Reserve Bank governor, and that's 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: screwing the economy and screwing it down so hard. We've 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: effectively been in recession for the past two years. And 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: from a farming point of view, from a primary sector 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: point of view, from a productivity point of view, the 14 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: best thing he could do for the economy is to 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: get those interest rates going down sooner and faster, because 16 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 2: you know, the farmers and business people and homeowners are 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: feeling the pain too. 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: Right, well said, how are we going with the methane vaccine. 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: Well, I have big news today and this is quite 20 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: exciting because we're looking for a solution for our ruminants 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: who beuch methane. We know all about that and the 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: global warming that occurs as a result. So Agri zero 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: NZ this is the joint venture between the government and 24 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: a whole lot of industry people like Fonterra and silver 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: Ferns and all those sort of people above God and 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: with the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Center, and they're 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: investing thirteen point five million to pioneer a methane vaccine. 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: So chief executive of agg egg zero en Z Wayne 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: McNee said, a vaccine that reduces methane from rumin and 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: animals would be a transformational tool for New Zealand's eg 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 2: sector and for farmers worldwide. It's right, It's widely recognized. 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: He went on to say, as the holy grail to 33 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: reduce emissions as its low cost, high impact and has 34 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: the potential to be adopted in all farming systems. And 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: just I know, are you going to ask this question, Heather, 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: So I've pre empted it. How does it work? Well, 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: A successful vaccine would trigger an animal's immune system to 38 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: generate antibodies and saliva that suppresses the growth and function 39 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: of methane producing microbes in the room and significantly reducing 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: the quantity of potent greenhouse gasses. At birds out everything 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: you ever wanted to know about methane, but we're afraid 42 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: to ask. 43 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Oh, Jamie, you actually even sound like you know what 44 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: you're talking about. I appreciate that science explanation. When you're 45 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: finished with that, you were finished with with hosting radio show, 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: you can go be a science teacher. Jamie McKay hosted 47 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: The Country Always Super informative Hither Can you please ask 48 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: Liam Dan why we don't report all of these figures 49 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: monthly instead of quarterly? These are the GDP figures. Look, 50 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: I think I can actually answer that question for you there, 51 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: because we are a bit of an outlier in terms 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: of a lot of the countries that we compare ourselves 53 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: to in only doing it quarterly. And I think we 54 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: all I mean at geez, the Reserve Bank last time 55 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: admit it didn't they that they were starting to look 56 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: at more high frequency data than official data because the 57 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: official data wasn't coming out regularly enough. So we know 58 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: this is holding us back. We know this is a problem. 59 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: We know it's causing blind spots for Adrian or and 60 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't need any of that, does he. The reason 61 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: we don't do it is because it's too expensive. It 62 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: is just too expensive to pump out these these figures 63 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: monthly instead of quarterly at least. I think it was 64 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: stats n Z who said that, And you know, to 65 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: that point, isn't that just one of the problems that 66 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: we have as a country, Like I love this country, 67 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: I think we're awesome, but we know the price of 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: everything and the value of nothing all too often. And 69 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: that's a case of this, like, just pay the money 70 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: because it's worth it for the health of the economy. 71 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: Headline's next, then Sam Dickie for more from Hither Duplessy 72 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: Allen Drive. 73 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: Listen live to news Talk sai'd Be from four pm weekdays, 74 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
