1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: You're Trusted Home, the News for Entertainment, Opinion and Miking 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: a Mike Hosking, Breakfast with Alveda, Retirement, Communities, Life Your Way, 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: News Togs had been. 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 2: Morning and welcome a day of new things and good news. 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: Good news around international students. We've got good news around 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: farm conversions. We've got a change to the world of 7 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 2: moogers and acquisitions. An amazing new bit of tech to 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: tell you about. Jordan Davis, one of country music's biggest 9 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: names after eighties coming to the country. Catherine is in France, 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: Danny biper that vote Varnier might be toast, and Rod 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: is the meonkasking seven past six. 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 3: Look. 13 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: I'm assuming it has something to do with the Thanksgiving 14 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: period and the slow return to work after all week off. 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: But it is hard to overstate if you're following the 16 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: American media, it is hard to overstate the shock among 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: many and in particular Democrats at the moment over what 18 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 2: the outgoing president has done with the son. Article two, 19 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: Section two of the Constitution is where you will find 20 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: the power. Alexander Hamilton introduced the concept at the Constitutional Convention. 21 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: They had a bit of back and forward, apparently about 22 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: whether the treason should be excluded, but they sought it. It 23 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: the strongest example of constitutional executive unilateralism. It has been 24 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: tested a couple of times in the Supreme Court eighteen 25 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: sixty six in eighteen seventy one, but they ruled the 26 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: court could not restrict a president's pardon power. It is, 27 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: even under the most gracious, morally high and uplifting grounds, 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 2: a pretty spectacular idea if you think about it. There's 29 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: something so profound they decided about the office of president that, 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: as we have seen of late just lately, in fact 31 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: court cases vanish and out the other side, you can 32 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: pretty much take any low renting you like and set 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: them free. What makes Biden's move so egregious is not 34 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 2: that it's unique, because it isn't many. A president has 35 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: pardoned any number of low lifes, many of them far 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: far worse than Hunter Biden, but one he specifically stated 37 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: he wouldn't do it, so he's a liar. Obviously, it 38 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: taints his reputation and legacy in the most profound way. 39 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: But more importantly for the Democrats in particular, it destroys 40 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: a major piece of weaponry that has been previously relied on, 41 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: especially when it comes to the incoming president. The incoming president, 42 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: they will tell you as a crook, a shyster, a snake, 43 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: o wheel operator. He is someone beneath the office. He 44 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: is everything a good, clean living Democrat despises. And yet 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: Biden turns out to be no better. A bloke who 46 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: has claimed to be above the fray, to have upheld 47 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: the ideals of the great America, a great party, turns 48 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 2: out to be a self serving, dishonored shill from Scranton. 49 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: Fifty years of service for what so we can limp 50 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: into retirement with his last act, the definding moment of 51 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: his career. If one of the so called good guys 52 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: can turn out to be that slippery, how do they 53 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: convince anyone in twenty twenty eight that the next contender 54 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 2: isn't exactly the same? Decorum has at least in part, 55 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: been a Democratic calling card until Biden. Oh under they're ropable. 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 4: Why News of the World in ninety seconds might. 57 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: Be a contender for cock up of the year. This 58 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: time yesterday, the will was asking what the hell was 59 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: the Korean president doing? 60 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 5: Tejong si yun circuole is not in his right mind, 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: his judgment and situational awareness and not normal. Has been 62 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 5: confirmed that he has such a seriously abnormal state that 63 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 5: he should not be performing his duties as president even 64 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 5: for a single minute. 65 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: Your locals were on the streets wondering how was the 66 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: president doing? 67 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 4: Fall light, I couldn't live. Very scary. 68 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 6: All the soldiers had a gun, a very long gun. 69 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: So we are just normal people. 70 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 7: So all the people was scared. 71 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: So having ballsed it up spectacularly, there might be some retribution. 72 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 8: Impeaching a president. 73 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: It's not really a fun thing to do, not even 74 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: for a lawmaker. But this person, Yun Suk yol, has 75 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: done something crazy that violates the constitution. 76 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 8: He basically committed a coupe tar. 77 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: Then and Britain. The resignation of the Transport secretary that's 78 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: proving an issue for the PM. 79 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 8: He said that the transfer that the former Transport sectually, 80 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 8: I was only asked to resign after further information came 81 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 8: to light. 82 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: What was that further information? 83 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 8: I'm not going to disclose private further information tend to life. 84 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 8: Justice Sato resigned and I'll say, what a marked contrast. 85 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 8: While she's obsessing with the Westminster issues, we're getting on 86 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 8: with fixing the mask, fixing the foundations, but twenty two 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 8: pound block. 88 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: Hole God, he's hopeless, Disney stateside Higsith, speaking of hopeless, 89 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: looks to be Gates two point oh.

Seven is Amsterday and six is 105 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: in New York. Milan is five, four is Rome, three 106 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 2: is Tokyo. Two is Madrid, which you know it. Number 107 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 2: one is that's right Auckland.

And guess how many 112 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: New Zealand cities made it correct? Twelve past six Now Pete. 113 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: The Mike asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, poll 114 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: it by News Talk. 115 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: Zippy, speaking of excuse me, Korea one point five percent 116 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: inflation forty five months low in October. The one's gone 117 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: through the floor. Of course, as you can imagine, it 118 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: was lower than the one point seven they expected, so 119 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 2: I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. Bank of 120 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: England Governor though, by the way, overnight Andrew Bailey, he 121 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: says there's going to be all things being equal, there's 122 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: going to be four interest rates cut for interest rate 123 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: cuts coming next year. Fifteen past six, right open Depity 124 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: Funds Management, Greg Smith morning morning into Auckland Council flicking 125 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 2: their shares. I take it there's plenty of demand for that. 126 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: Lots of demand for that. You investor's got the boarding call, 127 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: we say so. We've got over one hundred and sixty 128 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: three million shares up for grabs, sets around about one 129 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: point three billions, so for the nine point seven cent stakeups, 130 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 3: so they're sold down last year as well, so look 131 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: it's been well flagged. They want to pay the m date, 132 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: they want to set up a future fund for spending, 133 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 3: they want to diversify their rect base. So that's all 134 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 3: good hopefully. But yeah, lots of lots of strong demand 135 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: and good yeah, good for news from Vista's recently as 136 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 3: well with the rights issue at six ninety five and September, 137 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: so the shares are over eight bucks. They normally mean 138 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: you get a big block of shares on sale such 139 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 3: as this is often the discount. Not the case last year, 140 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: not the case this time. So the stock's been offered 141 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: at the closing price floor of eight dollars eight on Tuesday. 142 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: Lots of strong interest and excess of the office size 143 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 3: and evidently Australian superheation funds are queuing up, so there's 144 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: a bit of capable injury head for the airport, but 145 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 3: really strong demand for high quality airport infrastructure assets such 146 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: as this become increasingly arered and you just need to 147 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: look at some of the transactions across the Tasman so 148 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: private equity they bought a seventy four percent steak in 149 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: Queensland Airport in September Ossie Super they bought a steak 150 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: in Perth and interestingly, very relevantly, both of those deals 151 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: were done it in excess of twenty one times earnings 152 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: and that is what walk in the Airport trades at. 153 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: The owner of the North queens and the airport sets 154 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: up for sale as well, and apparently a Japanese investment 155 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 3: houses amongst the bid. Is so fair to say interest 156 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: in airport assets is flying high. 157 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: Mike Okay, GDP across the Tasman if it wasn't for now. 158 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: This is political of course too, because the government's going 159 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: to have to defend this. But that was a weak number. 160 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: Oh, highly political. So you look, the private sector has 161 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: actually seen its worst slump since the nineteen nineties were session, 162 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 3: so they've got a real issue of productivity. But yeah, 163 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: it's state and local governments which are effectively propping up 164 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: the economy. So GDP in the third quarter that was 165 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 3: up point three percent, that was below forecast for a 166 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 3: point four percent gain on an annual basis point eight 167 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: percent growth. That was below the one point one percent forecast, 168 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: down from one percent in June. And just notably my 169 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: household consumption and business investment made no contribution to economic growth. 170 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: So it's the governments of propping things up. You've got 171 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: cost of living policy policies. You've got the federal government 172 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: electricity bill rebates it's three round bucks. You've got state 173 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: and energy subsidies, and you've got infrastructure investment. Of course, 174 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: so public sector spending that it grew by point eight 175 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: percentage point, so grew, it took the contribution to GDP 176 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: growth up by point two percentage point. And at the 177 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 3: expensive households, and you look at combined government spending one 178 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: hundred and ninety five point eight billion, that's up eight 179 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: percent on a year ago. That's higher than the five 180 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: point three percent average in the decade before the pandemic. 181 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: So government outlays and now a record twelve point three 182 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 3: percent of GDP. States even higher, sixteen and a half percent, 183 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: it's even higher. And you include in just payments on 184 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: debt and wealthy payments and the like. So meanwhile the 185 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 3: privatest just activity is really muted. So construction activity dropping, 186 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: residential homebuilding activity. Contracting was a bright spot with the exports, 187 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 3: and that was mainly due to col demand, but prices 188 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 3: weaker overall foreign on the like, and also remember a 189 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: bit like US recently, a migration has been propping things up. 190 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 3: So you looking on a per capita basis GDP per 191 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: person went backwards for the seventh straight cord in that 192 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: foul point three percent. This is not great. One thing 193 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: markets have done and they recalibrated their bits. So when 194 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 3: we're going to get a ray cut, nauzy and it's 195 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: looking like a seventy five percent chance in February, and 196 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 3: actually the chance of one next week has actually risen 197 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: to ten percent, So yeah, the lucky country might just 198 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: need another break run. 199 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 2: Mate, give me some numbers. 200 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: So we've got the DOWN that was up half percent 201 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 3: at the moment forty four nine two three. I've got 202 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 3: this in P five hundred up point four percent, six 203 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: or seven three. 204 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 9: That's a record. 205 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: We've got the NASDAC that's up one percent nineteen sixty 206 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: sixty five. That's also a record. Bit of a strong 207 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: result from salesforces US. That's a bit of a bell 208 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: weather for the software industry. Just to in Europe stocks 209 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: fifty up point eight percent and the CAC forty in 210 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: France at point sevenercent. Not too worried about the political 211 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: chaos over there. For C one hundred that was down 212 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: point three percent, nick Ay up point zero seven percent, 213 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 3: ASEX two hundred down point four percent.

You look at the commodity markets, 217 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: gold up six bucks two thousand and six and forty 218 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 3: nine dollars an ounce. Oil that was down fifty cents 219 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: sixty nine spot forty five.

Yeah, 340 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 13: And that's one of a big big criticisms has been that, 341 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 13: you know, we're they're farm up here on the coast 342 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 13: sixteen sixty hour sorry, and a lot of it's Class 343 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 13: three and four and it's all been planted into pine trees, 344 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 13: which is a waste of productive farmland. Now we've got 345 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 13: the balance right and we're looking forward to you know, 346 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 13: working with the government ensure that we get some changes 347 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 13: to the ets, so we're actually achieving our goals. 348 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: Flip side is I've got one hundred hec. There is 349 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: somebody who wants to plant forests, often me ten dollars 350 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: a hec there more, What do I do? 351 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 9: I mean? 352 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: That's unfair to a degree, isn't it. 353 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 13: Well, it's not when you've already distorted the market by 354 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 13: having this ability for people to you know, pay really 355 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 13: high prices, driving up fat land is beyond the reach 356 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 13: of a sheep bee farmer. We've got even dairy farmers 357 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 13: down in the south and going, and that's how high 358 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 13: the carbon price had got. So it was out of 359 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 13: control and it's just restore some balance it doesn't mean, 360 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 13: you know, it's not going to happen to restore some 361 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 13: balance back into it. 362 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 2: Was it laziness? I mean, when you're looking at carbon climate, 363 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 2: et cetera. If you can plant a tree, you were 364 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: always going to, won't it, because it's the easy way out. 365 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 13: Yeah, there's an easy way. And a broad Car had 366 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 13: an article talking about how the ETS is going to 367 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 13: fail because of their very reason. It's easier and it's 368 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 13: more convenient to plant a tree rather than change behavior. 369 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 13: What we need to see is behavior. Chan we just 370 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 13: stop pluting. We need to stop pumping tons and millions 371 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 13: of tons of CO two into the ear, and we'll 372 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 13: start solving some of our problems. We could plant all 373 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 13: of our farm land in New Zealand and global warming 374 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 13: will still occur because they're still a mating. 375 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 2: Calvin, So you would, you would. He's outgoing at the 376 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 2: Client Commission. Of course, he says, and listeners made you change, 377 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: We're going to fail. You would agree with them. 378 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 13: Yeah, we'd agree with them. You know, the ETS should 379 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 13: be set up to change behaviors. Right now, the only 380 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 13: thing that is doing as marketing behaviors. Any office, anything 381 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 13: that says net emissions you know, we need to talk 382 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 13: about grosser missions and we have grosser missions profile, not 383 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 13: undet emissions, although it's it's a convenient thing you're be doing. 384 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 13: So we're doing our bit. We've got our net measures 385 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 13: at x y z H. 386 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: You won't have I don't know whether you've seen it, 387 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 2: but we've got the administer on after seven o'clock there's 388 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: a new methane emissions report out and their argument is 389 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 2: that that we don't need to cut by as much 390 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 2: if the world does a whole bunch more than they're 391 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 2: doing currently. The problem is the world won't do a 392 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 2: whole bunch more than they're doing currently. Therefore we might 393 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 2: have to. So you see what I mean. It's like 394 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: if the world doesn't do it, what's the point. 395 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 13: Yeah. Well, well, also to remember we're a very small 396 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 13: market on the small country sorry down the end. 397 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 10: Of the world. 398 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 13: We've got actually a very low missions profile, and all 399 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 13: of our emissions, we remove all of our missions, we're 400 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 13: not going to move the needle. However, we still need 401 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 13: to do our bit, and you know what, we don't 402 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 13: want to sacrifice our productive economy to be able to 403 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 13: achieve and under current targets and the current legislation we've had. 404 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 13: That's what we're going to do. And the Paris call 405 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 13: was very clear we shouldn't be fiting food production to 406 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 13: get our missions and check and that's the one thing 407 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 13: that we've been doing. 408 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: Good stuff Toybey appreciated very much like his cut of 409 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 2: his Jim Tobey Williams Federator Farmers Forestry spokes versus nineteen 410 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven tasking funny a business in Australia 411 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: at the moment, a number of Australians purchasing from shopifire. 412 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: This goes back to Cyber Monday. Black Friday grew fourteen percent. 413 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: On average a couple hundred bucks was spent. That's a 414 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: twenty three percent increase. Everyone was after a bit of fashion, 415 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: bit of beauty, some health and if you missed it 416 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: yesterday and Greg alluded to it, the GDP number was anemic. 417 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 2: At least it was growing unlike our country. But nevertheless, 418 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: the whole economy currently is propped up by government spending. 419 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: The government don't have any money, and of course when 420 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 2: the government spends money, they don't have you know what happened, 421 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: so you know, Australia actually not doing that well nineteen 422 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: to seven. 423 00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio News 424 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: talks it be. 425 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: So you know what gets us when Kiwi success stories 426 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: stand the test of time. We love those sort of stories. 427 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: Take Keia trailers. Now, they've been building trailers right here 428 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: for over forty five years. So how many trailers we're 429 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: talking about. We're talking about more than forty five thousand 430 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 2: trailers built. And get the some of their some of 431 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 2: their first builds are still going strong. So if you 432 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: want to make someone's year, a keya trailer ultimate gift, 433 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 2: not talking about some throwaway purchase. Here, these things become 434 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 2: family heirlooms, literally passed down through the generations. Why because 435 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 2: while they're built right obviously everything's done here in the country, 436 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: hot dip, galvanized, premium materials, no shortcuts. So there's a 437 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: reason they are Toyota, New Zealand's official supply. So whether 438 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: it's for your car or farm, bike or building materials, 439 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 2: Key has got the lot, car transporters, tipping trailers, you 440 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: name it, those modular accessories, genius stock crates, bike racks, 441 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: kayak carriers, whatever you need, they got it, even tell 442 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 2: you wheelibin.

To agree with you, let's go 449 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: to France six forty. 450 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 11: Fist International correspondence with ends in eye insurance peace of 451 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 11: mind for New Zealand Business Morning, Good morning Mane. 452 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: Does he survive when you reckon? 453 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 7: It's looking pretty difficult for the current French Prime Minister, 454 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 7: Michelle Burnier. He of course is facing that no confidence motion. 455 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 7: The vote will be sometime within the next hour. Currently 456 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 7: he's about fifty votes short, so that's not much time 457 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 7: for him to find those extra fifty votes he needs 458 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 7: to be able to save the day. 459 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 9: All we've been. 460 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 7: Hearing Mike for the last thirty six hours has been 461 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 7: warnings from the right and from the government that if 462 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 7: Parliament brings down this government that there will be just chaos. 463 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 7: We'll be diving into the unknown, and so they've been 464 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 7: using very very much this threat that France cannot go 465 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 7: down this road. It would be moving out of a 466 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 7: sort of stablish economy, a stablish government if they do this, 467 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 7: and of course, if the government loses us, the prime 468 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 7: minister loses this, this vote of that goes against him, 469 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 7: then that will be the first time since nineteen sixty 470 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 7: two that a French prime minister has lost a vote 471 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 7: of confidence. 472 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: Do you think Macron knew this was coming or he 473 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 2: was just so stuck to find somebody in the first place, 474 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 2: he thought he'd worry about it another day. 475 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 7: Well, there were not a lot of people ready to 476 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 7: do this job back in then, you know, in September, 477 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 7: so he was pretty stuck finding someone. He's going to 478 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 7: be even more stuck now, Mike. But there was no 479 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 7: love loss between Michel Barnier and Emanual Macron. In fact, 480 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 7: in the last week apparently Emanual Macron had started asking 481 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 7: around anyone wanted the job. And just an indication of 482 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 7: that is we've already got four names of people who 483 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 7: are ready to step in as prime minister to try 484 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 7: and save the day. 485 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: So that's France. Then you've got Germany which is a 486 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,239 Speaker 2: basket case, and their government's collapsed, and then there's an 487 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: election coming in VW on strike. I mean for what 488 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 2: it once was, what a mess. 489 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 7: What a mess indeed, and there is just no good 490 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 7: economic news coming out at the moment. Just today, Mike 491 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 7: oecd that you're, the Paris based think tag came up 492 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 7: with new figures for Europe's economy. It's said that the 493 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 7: German economy is only going to grow by about point 494 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 7: seven percent next year, so that's down from the predictions 495 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 7: that it was going to be just over one percent. 496 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 7: The French economy expected to grow just zero point nine percent. 497 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 7: That's a cut of point three percent. So this is 498 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 7: well below the European average. So you're no good news 499 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 7: there and really looking difficult to see how this could 500 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 7: change because both countries have gone a lot of political infighting. 501 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 7: They're facing the same problems as everyone else. Let's look 502 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 7: at high energy prices week, foreign demand, growing threat of 503 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 7: trade protectionism, high inflation, soaring energy prices. When you look 504 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 7: further down the road, might none of the indicators say 505 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 7: it's going to get better. 506 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: In the short term. Okay, Hey, what was this Russian 507 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: ship doing firing on the military helicopter. What was going 508 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 2: on there? 509 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 7: Very strange this one, Mike. It seems to be the 510 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 7: allegations at least that it was another one of these 511 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 7: sort of hybrid attacks that your parts of native countries 512 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 7: are coming under at the moment. The German Foreign Minister 513 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 7: has said that a Russian ship, not saying whether there 514 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 7: was a military ship, but a Russian ship fired a 515 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 7: signaling weapon of some sort and a German military helicopter 516 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 7: in the Baltic on Wednesday. Now, of course the German 517 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 7: military helicopter was up there because they're doing a lot 518 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 7: more present than surveillance there following what last month's damage 519 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 7: of those two communication cables in the Baltic. The reason 520 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 7: everyone's so worried about this at the moment, Mike, is 521 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 7: just last week we had here in Paris the head 522 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 7: of British intelligence, the head of MI six, and the 523 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 7: head of the French intelligence agency warning that at the 524 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 7: moment the Russians are being and I'm quoting here, staggeringly 525 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 7: reckless in their sabotage attempts against Western targets. And the 526 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 7: head of MI six actually said at this public meeting 527 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 7: that his agents are working around the clock to stop 528 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 7: these events spiraling out of control. 529 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: Hey, are you looking forward to seeing old Trumpster over 530 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 2: the weekend at Notre Dame. 531 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 7: He's going to be here on Saturday. Yes, I was 532 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 7: there today and they are putting up all sorts of covering. 533 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 7: So it's when those delegates come out of these the VIPs, 534 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 7: get out of their cars and have to walk up 535 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 7: into the cathedral that they won't. 536 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: Get that wet good stuff. You go, well, appreciate it, Catherine. 537 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 2: Nice to see you written an interesting piece. The other 538 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: d I reput them in the war. Basically it's destroyed 539 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: the social fabrica of Russia. I mean, it's not the 540 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: first time they've been at war, but the drinking and 541 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: going on in Russia at the moment is more and 542 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: more dead people come back to you know, one of them, 543 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 2: the body bags come home. The drinkings cone alcohol deaths 544 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 2: are up thirty percent so far this year. Ten minutes 545 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: away from seven. 546 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 4: The make Hostle revers with us talks. 547 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 2: Michael, you're eighteen to sixty three in a male You 548 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 2: can't leave the country by law of the drinkings not 549 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 2: killing them. The upcoming inflation of twenty percent will start them. 550 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 2: I figure at some point. I mean, obviously the media 551 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 2: is stacked and you never hear the true stories. But 552 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 2: I figure at some point there's enough people lying dead 553 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 2: on the street and coming back in body bags, the 554 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: average Russian might just go, you know what. I'm not 555 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 2: sure this guy knows what he's doing. Mike, you and 556 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 2: Ryan were talking about work Christmas part. He's not all 557 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 2: business owners neglect their staff. This is the business out 558 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: this morning of the state sector. I'll go through it later. 559 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 2: It's so sad. Not all businesses neglect their stuff. This 560 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: year eight agents, three off his staff and there and 561 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: their families from real Property Real Estate Kerry Kerey were 562 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 2: taken from Kerry Kerey and a coach to Mungo to 563 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: Be Pub for a beer, on to Carrington Estate for lunch, 564 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 2: the beach ed Mattai for a couple of hours with 565 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: a chili bin and food and drink, and back to 566 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: Munging to Be for a beautiful time meal, no cost 567 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: to staff at all. This follows one year where they 568 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: took us for an overnight stay at Kawai Island needless 569 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: to stay. Staff turnovers zero. Now there's a lot of 570 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 2: people looking after the staff. It's just that you're between 571 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 2: a rock and a hard place in the state sector, 572 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: aren't you. I mean the moment you have a party, 573 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 2: everyone's after you. But there comes a point and I'll 574 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: give you the fine detail because they've gone through department 575 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 2: by department. When you're asking staff to bring along seven 576 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 2: dollars and their own drink, it's like, don't worry about it, just. 577 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 12: I mean having anything. It's quite hard to bring seven. 578 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 2: Dollars precisely excellent. 579 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 14: Yeah, it might have a five dollars, twelve dollars, fifty 580 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 14: ye're getting it. Three dollars change from a ten year? 581 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 2: Can I have change? Because I've only got it. It's 582 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 2: just it's hopeless five minutes away from seven, all. 583 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 4: The ins and the outs. It's the beers with business favor. 584 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: Take your business productivity to the next level. 585 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 2: Really call new survey from a union. You're ready for this. 586 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: So this is the business of the public service working 587 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 2: from home. Willis got herself involved in this and she goes, really, 588 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 2: we need you back in town, come back to Wellington, 589 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. So anyway, the PSA have 590 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 2: done their research and their researchers. They just asked their 591 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 2: members what they think, so they already know what the 592 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 2: answer is. So the headline is research shows working from 593 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 2: home improves public service productivity. So eighty five percent of 594 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: respondents work from home at least one day a week, 595 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 2: majority work a couple of days. Eighty five percent said 596 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: it enabled them to get more work done, and they 597 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 2: said that with a straight face. Eighty nine percent said 598 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: it allowed them to work with greater concentration, and they 599 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: said that with a straight face. Seventy nine percent said 600 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: it helped them stay motivated. They're still not laughing. Seventy 601 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: eight percent said it improved performance of their employer. Didn't 602 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: actually ask the employer, so that's just literally made up. 603 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 2: Fifty five percent said they're working from home arrangement wasn'tn 604 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: informal agreement with their manager, i e. They just did 605 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 2: it and it was never really questioned. So we're Sharon today. 606 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: I think she'll probably be at home. That's how it 607 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: works in the public service. The minds you Sharon. Once 608 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: he's gathered up her seven dollars and her little bottle 609 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 2: of Jacob's Creek, she's off to the Star party. The 610 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: PSA members were also asked how important it was then 611 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: to be able to work from home for their employment well, 612 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: seventy seven percent said it was important to either a 613 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: large or a very large extent. And there is one 614 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: government department that looks like it's having some fun. There's 615 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 2: a karaoke machine and jumbo Jinger and that's the only 616 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: government department out of about fifteen that's doing anything that. 617 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 2: I'll let you know which department that is, because you 618 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 2: want to apply for work there once they start rehiring. 619 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 2: So what have we got. We've got the agg Minister 620 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: on a bunch of stuff. International students are coming back 621 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 2: to the country. That's a good sign. And if you 622 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 2: like country music, you will love Jordan Davis. He's with us. 623 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: Thrate the Breakfast Show you can trust the Mic Hosking 624 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate, your local experts across residential, commercial, 625 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: and rural news togs, dead bees. 626 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 2: Falling seven past seven more advised for farmers run methane 627 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 2: and expert Climate panel has concluded we could still meet 628 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 2: our climate targets without dressed cuts to methane emissions. We 629 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: thought maybe forty seven percent was required. They now argue 630 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 2: could be as lar as twenty four percent. The Egg 631 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 2: Minister Todd McLay with us Todd Morning and make good morning, 632 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: biogenic methane ten percent reduction below seventeen by twenty thirty 633 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 2: four to twenty five. I got a headache reading this. 634 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 2: Does anyone understand what's going on? 635 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 15: It is very very technically. You're right, and that's the 636 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 15: reason that we campaigned on having an independent scientific review 637 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 15: of the role of methane from animals from cows against 638 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 15: additional warming. 639 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 10: You're right. 640 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 15: Currently the legislation says by twenty fifty there has to 641 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 15: be a twenty four to forty seven percent decrease of methane. 642 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 15: That's not a target for farmers to work towards. It's 643 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 15: just a really broad band that last government said, we 644 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 15: don't know, we'll work it out later. So this is 645 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 15: the first bit of independent advice in government's commissions that 646 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 15: will help inform us of exactly what that target should 647 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 15: be and we'll look to work through to set that 648 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 15: next year. 649 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 2: Do you see it as solid work or it's malleable. 650 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 2: It's variable. We still don't know. 651 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 15: Well, it's based on science. There's been other reports have 652 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 15: been coming out. The sector have had one done that 653 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 15: the a few others who are reputable that are in 654 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 15: a similar place. And again this is very very technical. 655 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 15: It's the reason I'm so keen to move the debate 656 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 15: around from what we've seen over the last few years 657 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 15: to the science. So if we can land the science 658 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 15: it's credible, then actually we're informed that the action we're 659 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 15: taking is going to have an effect. I think so 660 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 15: far there's been a lot of talk that deletes us 661 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 15: in a different direction. You know, it's all about the 662 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 15: politics at the moment that should be based upon science 663 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 15: and whatever we do will be very hard for our farmers, 664 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 15: but we're only going to ask them to do what 665 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 15: they need to. We're not going to ask them to 666 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 15: do more than that. 667 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 2: Here's your problem, and this is in the report. It 668 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: is based on the world rapidly increasing its policies. I 669 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: don't think that's going to happen. So if they don't 670 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: do that, but what do we do? 671 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 15: Yeah, so we as others around the world, have committed to, 672 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 15: you know, limiting warning to one point five percent, and 673 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 15: you are right, the rest of the world has to 674 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 15: step up. But we only need to focus on what 675 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 15: New Zealand does. We don't need to lead the world. 676 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 15: We don't need to do more than others. We don't 677 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 15: need to be right out in the front where you 678 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 15: need to focus on what our obligations are. And so 679 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 15: that's what the government is likely to do. But the 680 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 15: Climate Change Commission is also going to come out with 681 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 15: their report very soon. We'll take these two bits of advice. 682 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 15: We'll look at it, take some time to be sensible 683 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 15: next year, and then Kevin, it will make a decision. 684 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 2: Okay, that commission. You talk of the outgoing chairperson broadcast, 685 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 2: he says, quote, it's going to fail. It needs pretty 686 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 2: radical reform, is you right. 687 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 15: Well, I've got a lot of respect from his work, 688 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 15: very very hard, but no, I don't agree there. You know, 689 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 15: he he'll bring his report forward. I can't wait to 690 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 15: see what it is. It'll be his last opportunity to 691 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 15: have a view on us before there is a new 692 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 15: chair that. 693 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 9: Will come in. 694 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 15: But what we're going to do is work constructively. You know, 695 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 15: there are two views out there. We should be right 696 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 15: at the front of the queue leading the world. That's 697 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 15: harmful to New Zealand consumers and it's harmful to you know, 698 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 15: the economy. We are very smaller metters compared to almost 699 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 15: everybody else. But that's not a reason for us not 700 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 15: to do our fair share. We should be leading the 701 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 15: world in innovation, not in closing down businesses. 702 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 2: Good stuff top appreciated. It has almost taught mccloudy, the 703 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 2: Agriculture Minister Tim and it's past seven seven good news. 704 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 2: I think around international student numbers this year, the total 705 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: number of arrivals in the first two terms exceeded all 706 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: of last year, so enrollments are up six percent. More 707 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 2: than seventy three and a half thousand are on the books. 708 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 2: University of Auckland Bust Chancellor of Dawn Freshwaters. Will this Dawnbery, 709 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: good morning to. 710 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 16: You, Good morning Mike. 711 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 2: Where does this leave us compared pre COVID? Are we 712 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 2: back there yet or not? 713 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 17: Actually we're not quite back there yet. But if you 714 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 17: look at and aggregate the seven percent that most of 715 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 17: the universities overall are still behind the pre pandemic levels, 716 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 17: we have surpassed our pre pandemic enrollments in twenty twenty 717 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,720 Speaker 17: three at the University of Auckland. So we're seeing significant growth. 718 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 17: Great green shoots coming across particularly our New Zealand school 719 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 17: market and across our Auckland online offerings we've had a 720 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 17: faster recovery I think than most other New Zealand universities, 721 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 17: that particularly due to our strong reputation internationally. But I 722 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 17: have to say, of course, you know, if we're going 723 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 17: to continue to maintain and respond to this significant demand 724 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 17: and the increasing demand, which is a testimony to our 725 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 17: higher education system and the quality of it, then we 726 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 17: are going to need to make sure that we continue 727 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 17: to support that international growth on visas and the demand 728 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 17: for those visa process times to be critical in influencing 729 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 17: these conversion rates. 730 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 2: Because I'll ask you about that. Are you happy with 731 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 2: the system the way the demand then the visa applications, 732 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 2: what they do after they maybe graduate here and get jobs. 733 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 2: Is the system working. 734 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 9: Well? 735 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 17: There's two things here. The first is once you see 736 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 17: that increase in demand, so applications are up twenty four 737 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 17: percent on the year before the pandemic, and postgrad particularly 738 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 17: postgrad international, are up, which is fantastic for our nation. 739 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 17: But we won't know well until the new year what 740 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 17: this translates to. And that's you know, in terms of 741 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 17: additional enrollments, these are processing times become critical in influencing 742 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 17: the conversion rate. There's already some significant work going on 743 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 17: in the system automation and digitizing, and of course we're 744 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 17: looking at adding some additional and support into the system 745 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 17: ourselves for con version rates, but we do need to 746 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 17: work really closely with Emmigration News said on making sure 747 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 17: that happens. 748 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 2: Well, I'm super excited that the numbers are coming back. 749 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 2: Dawn Freshwater, the University of auglandvised Chancellor. I suspect that 750 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 2: something in Australia because Australia has turned it into a 751 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: just an absolute disaster demand and Australia's through the roof. 752 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 2: Albanese is panicked because they link it to jobs and 753 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: housing and they've got huge troubles in that area, so 754 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 2: they've started capping the numbers, so we're probably picking up 755 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 2: something there as well. Thirteen past seven ask if we're 756 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 2: on as most people want to work from home at 757 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,720 Speaker 2: least a couple of days a week due to the traffic, 758 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 2: especially in Auckland. Look, I buy some of those where 759 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 2: you couldn't agree more. If you could, if you can 760 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 2: genuinely be as productive at home and you save yourself 761 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 2: all the commuting time, why on earth wouldn't you? Mike, 762 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 2: what's jumbo? Jinger? It's Jinger the game, so they're providing 763 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 2: karaoke and jumbo Jinger in one of the departments. I'll 764 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 2: come back to that after seven thirty. My husband's a 765 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 2: police officer, a small station. They pay for their own 766 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 2: Christmas dinner. When they asked for one hundred bucks for 767 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 2: seven staff, they received a massive serve for asking, Yeah, 768 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 2: don't blame you. Thirteen past. 769 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: The like asking Breakfast Fall Shit podcast on iHeartRadio powered 770 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: by News Talks at be. 771 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 2: News Talks at sixteen minutes past seven was standing by 772 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 2: for the fight in France. Here's Barnier. 773 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 18: From Deputy. 774 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,720 Speaker 19: We have come to a moment of truth, ladies and gentlemen, 775 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,240 Speaker 19: a moment of responsibility. 776 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 9: I heard M. 777 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 19: Gabriel at all, thank you for your trust, who expressed 778 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 19: his wishes. 779 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 18: Giv more degree production, to. 780 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 19: Have less noise, more action. It's hard year, isn't it. 781 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 18: Atuka more regardless, less noise would be good, more respect. 782 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, it seems jovial enough for a blow piece. 783 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 2: Fifty votes short, so we'll see where that goes. Seventeen 784 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 2: and it's past seven. More insight into the housing market 785 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 2: this morning. Bank of Mum and Dad one in three keyweks. 786 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 2: Bank of Mum and Dad is helping one in three keywis. 787 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 2: They did some research. You'll remember a couple of years 788 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: ago consuming New Zealand, the Bank of Mum and Dad 789 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 2: was the fifth biggest lender at twenty two point six 790 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 2: billion dollars. A question you ask yourself is it a 791 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 2: gift or a loan? But then here's the critical here's 792 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 2: the critical fault in all of this. Nothing wrong with 793 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 2: Mum and Dad being a bank of you know, to 794 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 2: help the kids do. Nothing wrong with that. But seventy 795 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: six percent in the survey, seventy six percent agree that 796 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 2: at the current rate, future generations will be shut out 797 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 2: of home ownership unless their parents can help them financially. 798 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 2: It is simply not true. And if you believe that, 799 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 2: then you've fooled yourself into something that doesn't have to 800 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: be the case. And the first home buyers number of 801 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 2: first home buyers more than proves it. Now, let me 802 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 2: come to the business of the Christmas parties around the 803 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 2: state sector. It is such a miserable lineup it makes 804 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 2: you sad. Ministry of Business as an MB it would 805 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 2: not be providing a subsidy for an end function Ministry 806 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 2: of Housing are no Christmas function at all. Customs it's 807 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 2: not arranging or funding anything. Crown Law staff they can 808 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 2: pay to attend their b YO Christmas do. The agency 809 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 2: said festivities are being held in the office, with some 810 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 2: costs paid for from its Social Committee fundraising efforts. Staff 811 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,439 Speaker 2: need to bring their own drinks and a small entry 812 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 2: fee covers finger food offers for Mari Crown relations being 813 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 2: disestablished anyway, as far as I know, they need to 814 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 2: pay seven dollars to attend the end of ys staff 815 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 2: party seven dollars.

Staff also have to pay 818 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 2: for that. So an external lunch that's nice. The new 819 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 2: Ministry of Regulation first Christmas do this year. Of course, 820 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 2: staff has to bring a plate of food. Refreshments are 821 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: being provided by the Ministry's senior leadership team, so there's 822 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 2: some hope there. Department of Prime Minister fund by individuals. 823 00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 2: Nothing barbecue for KiwiRail, Quipirale doing some barbecues. Other sites 824 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 2: are having a morning tea. Ministry of Health. This is 825 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 2: where it's all on. This is the place to be. 826 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 2: Ministry of Health that's got the karaoke and the giant ginger. 827 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 2: There is a morning tea at the Wellington office. They've 828 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 2: got five and a half grand.

Interesting but good move, I think overall. I 863 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 2: thought about this yesterday afternoon of the announcement came out. 864 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 2: This is on the forestry and farming. See it's another 865 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 2: example of practical thinking and application in an area that 866 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 2: relied to be frank on laziness to solve a problem. 867 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 2: Ever since we became obsessed with climate change, and we 868 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 2: became obsessed with things that might or might not address 869 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,360 Speaker 2: climate change, the low hanging fruit has been trees in 870 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 2: carbon markets. Now carbon Market says we've seen yet again 871 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,840 Speaker 2: this year don't work. Government MUCKs around with the rules, 872 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 2: change the prices, freaks the market out, and all the 873 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 2: credits that go up for sale, by and large don't 874 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 2: get sold. They all pile into the next auction and 875 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,879 Speaker 2: don't get sold until they get piled into the fourth 876 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 2: and final oction of the year, whereby they're not sold again. 877 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 2: So they then get dumped dumped as in they never 878 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 2: actually existed. Of course, in the first place, it's a 879 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 2: mad invented idea that only works of people believe it works, 880 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 2: and so far they don't. Then we plant trees, why 881 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 2: because it's easy. So a paddock of trees or a 882 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 2: paddic of sheep or crops or cows in a country 883 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 2: where we already build two men the houses on productive land. Also, 884 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 2: planting trees on that sort of land is criminal and stupid. 885 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 2: What this country does is feed the world. Our ability 886 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 2: on quality in many areas is unmatched, and we get 887 00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 2: the price returned for it. But and here is where 888 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 2: the old freedom of movement and thinking comes in. If 889 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 2: you've got one hundred hectares and you want to sell 890 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 2: it to and the person who wants to buy it 891 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 2: wants to plant trees, is offering more than the bloke 892 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,760 Speaker 2: next door who wants to expand as farm and keep sheep. 893 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,359 Speaker 2: You are now potentially limited by a government that has 894 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,080 Speaker 2: decided for you what you do with your property, and 895 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 2: that's always a fairly tricky area. Ultimately, though, governments must 896 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 2: act in these circumstances on behalf of the nation. And 897 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,760 Speaker 2: if we aren't so reliant on food as a producer, 898 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 2: I mean, if we were a tech center or a 899 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 2: space center, or an oil center, or a strategic global 900 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,920 Speaker 2: based like Singapore or Dubai, it might be different. But 901 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 2: land is our calling card, and one day we will 902 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 2: work out trees aren't the answer to climate change. And 903 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 2: by the time we work that out, reconverting that land 904 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 2: won't be possible. So in that sense, this decision basically 905 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 2: saves us from ourselves. Mike. It's the media who are 906 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 2: responsible for the grinch on government Christmas shindigs. Media would 907 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 2: jump on things instantly and report them as they Yes, 908 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 2: click bake, you're right. Yeah, I mean, we're not entirely responsible, 909 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 2: but you're right partially. They're between a rock and a 910 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 2: hard place, Mike. I see, the chief executives of New 911 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 2: Zealand Rail and Transpower are two of the highest paid 912 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 2: public service employees. Imagine how much they get if they 913 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 2: knew how to turn off auto pilot and how many 914 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 2: nuts to remove safely for a pilot not to fall labor. 915 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 2: It's very good points and nice. If you didn't see that, 916 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 2: it was yesterday of the day before, I can't remember, 917 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 2: but the Herald ran a whole bunch of numbers, and 918 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 2: can I sound like a completely out of touch pratt 919 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,720 Speaker 2: just for a moment. So I looked at those numbers 920 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 2: of people leading the public service, and I wouldn't do 921 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,879 Speaker 2: those jobs for anywhereny of that money. I don't care 922 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 2: what it is these people are ruining. It seemed to 923 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 2: me from ment with three four one hundred thousand dollars 924 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 2: to run an entire public service. Now, is that a 925 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 2: lot of money? Of course, it's a lot of money. 926 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 2: It's a tremendous amount of money. But think about what 927 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 2: they're doing. They're running hundreds of not thousands of people. 928 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,839 Speaker 2: They've got the media on their back constantly, They've got 929 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 2: the government on their back constantly. They're in a no 930 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 2: win position in general. They're expected to be doing the 931 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 2: job not for the money, but for the public good, 932 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 2: whatever the hell that means. And for that you get 933 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 2: to be frank a pretty ordinary sort of salary, no 934 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 2: thank you. And I came to the conclusion that we're 935 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 2: not paying them enough. And if we actually paid some 936 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 2: proper dough, average executive chief executive in this country is 937 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 2: about two million. If we started paying some proper dough, 938 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 2: we might actually get some proper people doing a proper job. 939 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 1: Big news, bold opinions, the Mike Hosking, Breakfast with a Vita, 940 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: Retirement Communities, Life your Way News togsa'd be Mike. 941 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 2: While I get the sentiment as to why the government 942 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,959 Speaker 2: wants to change the rules on carbon farming, it's pulled 943 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 2: the wrong lever. All this has done is mean a 944 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 2: farmer's highest better on cell date, maybe gone retirement options 945 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,280 Speaker 2: narrowed now for marginal farms, watch the age of farmers 946 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 2: retiring go up. That's what I was trying to argue. 947 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 2: But I think in totality the nation's got when Mike 948 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 2: couldn't agree with you. More on the pay of public servants. 949 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 2: Don't get me started on the pay of mayors and 950 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 2: council as we expect people with good governance experience to 951 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,919 Speaker 2: run an organization with over a billion in assets, deal 952 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 2: with constant winging from the community, all for fifty odd grand. 953 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,479 Speaker 2: It's not a bad point, is it? Twenty three minutes 954 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 2: away from eight about. 955 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 9: Their all three to miss? 956 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 2: Look a fair to the fifty that's bringing bread for 957 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,919 Speaker 2: chief SATs in small lands. Guys, good for leaving Jordan 958 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 2: Datus if you don't know the name, he's with us after. 959 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 2: He's coming here with Luke Holmbs next year. So he's 960 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 2: with us after eight o'clock from Nashville. One of the 961 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 2: more raye opening stats that's come out of the scrutiny 962 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 2: week at Parliament this week is the factor couter beneficiaries 963 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,280 Speaker 2: being paid incorrectly only seventy seven point six percent are 964 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 2: on the money. The target is ninety five percent, so 965 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 2: no Christmas party for them this year. Criminal Advice Bureau 966 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 2: Criminal Advice Citizens' Advice Bureau Deputy CEO Andrew Hubbard is 967 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,919 Speaker 2: with us. Andrew, very good morning to you, cure, Mike. 968 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 2: How are you very well? Imagine if you were called 969 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 2: the Criminal Advice Bureau different anyway, Listen, what's gone wrong here? 970 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 2: Has this been I take it this isn't happened yesterday. 971 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 2: This is an ongoing thing. 972 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 16: Right, yes, although one of the I think most disappointing 973 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,800 Speaker 16: things has actually been got worse over the last several years. 974 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 16: So instead of heading towards the ninety five percent, they're 975 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,800 Speaker 16: heading away from it. Which is which is a serious problem. 976 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 2: Is this nurse's robo pay. All the complexities we've seen 977 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,839 Speaker 2: around pay and this is just another example of it. 978 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,319 Speaker 16: I mean, that's definitely part of the fact that I 979 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 16: think if we look at you know, there's thirty thousand 980 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,959 Speaker 16: more people on income support in the last year and 981 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 16: no increase in the start to deal with that, and 982 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,400 Speaker 16: so you know what we're seeing is you know, really 983 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 16: struggling to about to talk to a real person to 984 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 16: address a problem. If you do do come across one 985 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 16: in your payment. 986 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 2: Is it fair to suggest that, as I understand the 987 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 2: beneficiary system, it's complex. It's not just you know, you 988 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 2: just get a thing, you can apply for all sorts 989 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 2: of different things available to you, and it's that complexity 990 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 2: that we'll be the problem. 991 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 16: Yes, that's definitely a huge component of the problem. Just 992 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 16: thinking of an example of a client who we dealt 993 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 16: with very recently, who you know, had applied was struggling financially. 994 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 16: He had applied to some extras supplementary benefit which she 995 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 16: got given to her, and then four days later she 996 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 16: gets a differently. They're from Work and Income saying they've 997 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 16: overpaid her on some other element of the benefit. And 998 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 16: now that she's that has a one and a half 999 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 16: thousand dollars debt to work an income, they're going to 1000 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:26,240 Speaker 16: take away from the benefit. 1001 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 10: They're just closed her. 1002 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 16: And so we see lots of situations like that. 1003 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 2: And here's the problem that calls the straightest, doesn't it 1004 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 2: In difficult time you. 1005 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,240 Speaker 16: Need yeah, exactly, And so you know, we're really concerned. 1006 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,240 Speaker 16: In the last five years or so, debt to MSD's 1007 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 16: almost doubled, and a lot of that is to do 1008 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 16: with overpayments that you know, quite frankly shouldn't be you know, 1009 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 16: the people who've been over paid shouldn't be held responsible 1010 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 16: for that. Mostly it's to do with a change of circumstance. 1011 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 16: Maybe they've been a week late, or it's taken NSD 1012 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 16: time to catch up with their change that they've told 1013 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 16: them about, and yet they're then facing a debt which 1014 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 16: comes out of there. You know, people are already struggling on 1015 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 16: the amount they get from working and come and then 1016 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 16: they get a deck taken off there and it's just 1017 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 16: it's counterproductive. 1018 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 2: Do you have any sense of whether anybody's on top 1019 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 2: of this and going, actually, seventy seven is not good enough, 1020 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 2: and we are correcting it and it will be sorted 1021 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 2: by X. 1022 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 16: I mean, I think it will be fair to say 1023 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 16: that this stat wasn't surprise for us From our interactions 1024 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 16: with clients over the last year. You know, we've been 1025 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 16: seeing What we really are concerned about is the level 1026 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 16: of inconsistency depending on who you talk to, and so 1027 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 16: you know, we are concerned that you know, there's no 1028 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,640 Speaker 16: apparent change for the better in the situation. 1029 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 2: Who all right, well, I've got the prime Minister on 1030 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 2: the program tomorrow, so we'll we'll put that to him 1031 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,880 Speaker 2: and see what he's up to.

Speaking of education, which I 1053 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 2: broadly was probably not one of my best segues for 1054 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 2: the year, but nevertheless, I've got some new numbers around 1055 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,720 Speaker 2: education this morning.

This is the education testing around the world, 1066 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 2: and we, as you are well aware, have not doing 1067 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 2: particularly well for a number of years. But I have 1068 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 2: the greatest of news this morning. The test Maths, the 1069 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 2: Test Science study of year nine and then thirteen year olds. 1070 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 2: First time since twenty fifteen, the average scores have not 1071 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 2: fallen in any of the three big international studies TIMS 1072 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 2: pearls pizza first time, so that's good. Year five students 1073 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,319 Speaker 2: are average of four ninety in maths up from four 1074 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:02,400 Speaker 2: to eighty seven the twenty nineteen round of testing five seventeen, 1075 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 2: and science up from five oh three, So we're removing 1076 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 2: in the right direction, not rapidly but slowly. Year nine's 1077 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,360 Speaker 2: four eight five and maths up from four eight two 1078 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 2: five oh two, and Science up from four nine to nine. 1079 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,280 Speaker 2: Now the math tests the Asian nation's not surprisingly Singapore 1080 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 2: leads with six fifteen. So if you look at Singapore 1081 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 2: at six fifteen and we're at four ninety, we're a 1082 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 2: mile behind. We're still below the international average. So Singapore 1083 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,439 Speaker 2: six fifteen, England five fifty two, Australia five twenty five 1084 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 2: are the US five seventeen. So the figure showed that 1085 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,439 Speaker 2: by the time New Zealand children entered secondary year nine 1086 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 2: twenty percent did not meet the tim's benchmark. Now is 1087 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 2: that bad, Well, of course it's bad, but it is 1088 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 2: similar to the international average. International average is nineteen percent. 1089 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 2: So glass half full or glass half empty half empty. 1090 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 2: It's like, well, we're just as useless. As everybody else 1091 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 2: glass half full. Well, you know we're improving, so let's 1092 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 2: take that. Mike.

Dan Andrews is increasingly being rejected 1125 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 2: from a growing number of Melbourne restaurants and cafes. In 1126 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 2: other words, when he turns up with his wife, they go, 1127 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 2: no thanks, mate, we're full. And so you think, does 1128 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,200 Speaker 2: that mean that one of the guys who runs a 1129 00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 2: guy called Dimotina. The Dimotina family particularly famous in Melbourne, 1130 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:38,879 Speaker 2: and he runs a South Melbourne venue of Lamarros which 1131 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,000 Speaker 2: is well known.

Turns of away. He 1134 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 2: said he would have to be Andrews the most hated 1135 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:54,320 Speaker 2: person in Victoria. The trail of destruction Andrew's left is 1136 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 2: still being felt today.

He didn't 1138 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 2: help anyone. Mental health went downhill, and now Andrews has 1139 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 2: a job in mental health, if you can believe it. 1140 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:11,320 Speaker 2: Business was decimated.

Chapel Street, Lygon Street, empty businesses everywhere. 1142 00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 2: He's not sitting at my place.

The founder is Emily Blyth, 1156 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 2: who's with us. Emily, good morning, Good morning Mite. Tell 1157 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,840 Speaker 2: you I'm well, thank you. So this is in the 1158 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 2: sense that you're predicting, not trying to clear, right, So 1159 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 2: there's two ways of. 1160 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 20: Going about this, that's correct. Yeah, predicting is going to 1161 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,160 Speaker 20: be our first stage an approach. 1162 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,680 Speaker 2: Now it's where are you at in the process. I mean, 1163 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,399 Speaker 2: if you've got a product set to go, you're close 1164 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:14,239 Speaker 2: to where are you at? 1165 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 20: Yeah, So we've built an initial forecasting model that can 1166 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,719 Speaker 20: predict fog much more accurately than what traditional models can. 1167 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,360 Speaker 20: It's still got a lot to go in terms of 1168 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 20: lifting performance. We need additional data sets to plug in there, 1169 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 20: and we've turned up with a team add attentive technologies 1170 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 20: to collect that data, which is really exciting. But we 1171 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 20: should be ready to have or start making an impact 1172 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,799 Speaker 20: for the public early twenty twenty. 1173 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:43,280 Speaker 2: Six with what level of accuracy. 1174 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:47,280 Speaker 20: So at the moment, with existing data only, we're performing 1175 00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 20: at a fifty percent jump on traditional models. So new 1176 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:54,959 Speaker 20: Zealand accuracy is around nineteen percent. Traditionally we're at thirty 1177 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 20: two percent with existing data only, but we're going to 1178 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,439 Speaker 20: be adding in a lot more spatial awareness at ground 1179 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,959 Speaker 20: level two, which will help lift that performance much better. 1180 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 20: So I'm hoping to get way better than a queen flip. 1181 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,960 Speaker 2: So nineteen percent currently, in other words, you've got a 1182 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 2: far greater chance of being completely wrong. Yeah yeah, gosh, So. 1183 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 20: On those days where fogs yet duetiform? 1184 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah? 1185 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 17: Yeah? 1186 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 2: Is generative AI involved that? Does that solve everything? Or not? 1187 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 20: Not quite. What we're using is we're wanting to see 1188 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 20: traditional models are using numerical weather models to predict fogs, 1189 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 20: so that relies on our own scientific understanding of how 1190 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,919 Speaker 20: fog forms at a local level, and when our own 1191 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,440 Speaker 20: understanding is not very great, the calculations and method of 1192 00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 20: what the model can achieve isn't isn't very good either. 1193 00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 20: So by switching through to a machine learning model, we 1194 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 20: can actually start to kind of harness AI to teach 1195 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 20: us what are the patterns that we're recognizing, and then 1196 00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,840 Speaker 20: we can intupulate that data to actually learn more about fog. 1197 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 2: Longer to well, how in advance can you potentially do 1198 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 2: it because it's the in advance, but that I'm assuming 1199 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,600 Speaker 2: allows an airport or an airline to react. 1200 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 20: Yeah, so the airline schedules are set up to respond 1201 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 20: super super quickly, which is great. And we're aiming initially 1202 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:23,120 Speaker 20: for a three hour forecast horizon with real time data, 1203 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 20: so providing sort of minutely updates coming through. Just to 1204 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 20: give a bit of context here, current forecasts are only 1205 00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 20: updated every three to six hours and so that all 1206 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 20: gives them a lot better information around whether those flights 1207 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 20: can change and within the New Zealand market, will give 1208 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,439 Speaker 20: the airlines in ours time in order to make those 1209 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,120 Speaker 20: flight changes needed. And we'll slightly grow that up from there. 1210 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,080 Speaker 2: Super exciting. I'm going to get you back in twenty 1211 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,440 Speaker 2: twenty six and we'll have a good talk about it 1212 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 2: when it's all set to go. 1213 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 20: How's that sounds great? 1214 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,200 Speaker 2: Thank you harded to talk to Emily Go well, Emily 1215 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:56,840 Speaker 2: blythe I don't know how old she is. I do 1216 00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 2: know how old is she's in the twenties. She's another 1217 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 2: one of these young New Zealand freak shows your parents 1218 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 2: would be unbelievably proud of. 1219 00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 12: But talk about rip the top off that we've all 1220 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 12: always suspected. 1221 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 2: Which is what they haven't got a clue. They haven't 1222 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:12,640 Speaker 2: the slightest idea. 1223 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,720 Speaker 14: Next time you see somebody predicting exactly there might be 1224 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 14: fog patches. 1225 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 2: Tomorrow morning, nineteen percent, just. 1226 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 12: Turn off your TV exactly Rightdow. 1227 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 2: You think about the amount of broadcasting time that's been 1228 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 2: given to what we now know to be literally nothing 1229 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 2: more than guesswork. 1230 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 14: Nineteen percent charts a big It's about as accurate as 1231 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 14: the profit made by the Prime Minister on a house. 1232 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 2: Welcome to Media, twenty twenty four. Styles Jordan Davis, I 1233 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 2: love him, You'll love them, is coming here with Luke 1234 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 2: Comb's by Dirt.

He's here 1249 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 2: next year with us. Mike Lick Combs and Jordan Davis 1250 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:36,400 Speaker 2: is with us from Nashville. 1251 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 9: Good morning, Good morning, Mike, thank you for having me. 1252 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 2: On No, not at all ten. Now, tell us about 1253 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,560 Speaker 2: your experience of New Zealand. If it's more than I've 1254 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 2: never been there before. 1255 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 9: That's it. That is my experience. I've never been there before, 1256 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 9: definitely been on the bucket list for a long time, 1257 01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 9: so I definitely think it would be a trip over 1258 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 9: there playing music. I thought it would just be me 1259 01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:01,440 Speaker 9: traveling to see the beautiful country that I've seen grown up. 1260 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,000 Speaker 9: So but now being able to mess that with going 1261 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 9: over and working some is awesome. 1262 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Now, how did the Luke comes thing come about? 1263 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 9: You know, me and Luke we've been touring going back 1264 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 9: to I think twenty I think my first tour with 1265 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 9: him was probably two three years ago. You know, it 1266 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 9: was me, him and Laney and then I went and 1267 01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 9: did a headline and tour, and then he offered me, 1268 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 9: he asked me to come back and do a stadium 1269 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,640 Speaker 9: tour with him this past year. And then one night 1270 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,000 Speaker 9: after I believe it was the Cincinnati show here in 1271 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 9: the States, he asked me. He basically told me, he 1272 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 9: was like, Hey, I've got something coming your way and 1273 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,600 Speaker 9: you need to say yes to it. And I was like, well, 1274 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 9: what is it. He was like, look, you're going to 1275 01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 9: hear about it in the next couple of days, and 1276 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 9: I need you to say yes to it. So I 1277 01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,240 Speaker 9: think Luke knows that I'll jump at any chance to 1278 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:57,240 Speaker 9: get out and play shows with him. And obviously this 1279 01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 9: tour was what he was talking about. So it's been 1280 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,920 Speaker 9: a friend ship going on five years now. I love 1281 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,800 Speaker 9: him to death and he's been really good to me, 1282 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 9: So I'm excited to continue playing music with him. 1283 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:07,920 Speaker 2: See, we had him on the show a couple of 1284 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 2: months ago. He seems to me like the real deal. 1285 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,280 Speaker 2: He's He's like, he's a good guy. 1286 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 9: Oh, I mean, I don't know of any better, to 1287 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:18,320 Speaker 9: be honest with you. You know, I've known about Luke 1288 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,800 Speaker 9: for a lot longer than I've than I've actually, you know, 1289 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,000 Speaker 9: called him a friend. But I remember, you know, the 1290 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,560 Speaker 9: first the first songs I heard from him, just thinking like, man, 1291 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:33,800 Speaker 9: this guy, this guy's a heck of a writer, incredible singer. 1292 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 9: You know, he must be a jerk like something. He 1293 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 9: can't have it all, you know. And and then I 1294 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,000 Speaker 9: and then I met him, and uh, he's been so 1295 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 9: good to me, so good to my family. He really is, uh, 1296 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,040 Speaker 9: you know, his song what you see is what you get. 1297 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 9: That's Luke Combs. He's good as goal. 1298 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 2: And does he look after you on too? Because it's 1299 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 2: it's that old rock and roll thing, you know, where 1300 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 2: whereby you never see the star and you're just in 1301 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 2: a separate It seems different in country music, is that right? 1302 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:04,640 Speaker 9: Oh man, we're uh, you know, I think that, you know, 1303 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,040 Speaker 9: And a lot of that is the artists that have 1304 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,959 Speaker 9: come before us that have taken us out, and probably 1305 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 9: artists that have taken Luke out. You know. It was 1306 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 9: always I thought it would be that way. It was like, 1307 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 9: you know, as an opener, it was kind of like, well, 1308 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 9: I'm just gonna go out and play the show, stay 1309 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 9: out of the headliner's way, you know. But with Luke, 1310 01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 9: it's you know, I feel like I saw him every 1311 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 9: day when we're out torn together. I bump in his 1312 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,600 Speaker 9: green room for probably two three hours watch football with him, 1313 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,040 Speaker 9: you know, just catch up, hang out. So and that 1314 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 9: wasn't just me, that was Mitchell, Timpenny, Kobe, a Cuff, 1315 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,160 Speaker 9: you know a lot of the other artists that were 1316 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 9: on that tour. It's an open door policy, man, And uh, 1317 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:46,760 Speaker 9: it makes it makes touring more fun. Uh, it makes 1318 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,440 Speaker 9: the road a little bit easier when when you truly 1319 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 9: are out there with good people and everybody's kind of 1320 01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 9: looking after everybody you reckon. 1321 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,919 Speaker 2: That's part of the explosion and popularity of country music 1322 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 2: in that sense. I mean, this seems to be a 1323 01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 2: genuine community income right among most people. 1324 01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 9: Man. I sure hope. So, you know, Mike compan ever 1325 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,360 Speaker 9: even thought about that. I hope that is is one 1326 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,200 Speaker 9: reason why it feels like country is gaining is bigger 1327 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,000 Speaker 9: now than it's ever been. You know, I think you 1328 01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:18,200 Speaker 9: hear people talk about that on on award shows or 1329 01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,560 Speaker 9: interviews and say like, yeah, he's a buddy h And 1330 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 9: maybe a lot of people take that as like, oh, 1331 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 9: they probably see each other and like you know, say 1332 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 9: hello at shows or at festivals or whatever. But it's 1333 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:34,160 Speaker 9: actually it really is. You know, we all root for everybody, 1334 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,920 Speaker 9: and h I know roots for me. I root for him. 1335 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 9: But you know there's numbers in my phone Dirk's old 1336 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:46,560 Speaker 9: dominion guys Jacoen that I truly could call right now 1337 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 9: and they would answer the phone. And it's not like odd, 1338 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 9: are weird? It's just like, hey, what's up? Man? You know? 1339 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 9: And I think that is. I think that's one reason 1340 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:58,440 Speaker 9: why Country Country is doing what it what what you know, 1341 01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 9: what it's doing right now is because we really do 1342 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 9: all like each other. 1343 01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 2: Now, now, tell us about your story, because are you 1344 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 2: another one of these? I moved to Nashville. I mean, 1345 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 2: you know, you learned to play the guitar, I went 1346 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:12,240 Speaker 2: to university, moved to Nashville, got discovered. I mean that 1347 01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 2: can be presumably a real thing. 1348 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, you know it's definitely not as easy as that. 1349 01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 9: You know. I moved in twenty twelve after graduating from school, 1350 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 9: and you know, never dreamed to be the artist or 1351 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,760 Speaker 9: touring or playing shows. My dream when I moved was 1352 01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,680 Speaker 9: to write songs. I wanted. I wanted other artists to 1353 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 9: cut my songs and hopefully one day hear some songs 1354 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,920 Speaker 9: on the radio. I come from a family of songwriter, 1355 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,800 Speaker 9: so my uncle you know, found his way in Nashville 1356 01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 9: that way. So I kind of thought that I would 1357 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 9: just kind of follow a suit. And it wasn't until 1358 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,800 Speaker 9: kind of out out of desperation, you know, things weren't 1359 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 9: going my way in Nashville. I'd been in town for 1360 01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 9: almost five years and really didn't have anything going on 1361 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 9: that I started playing show as. I started playing live, 1362 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,640 Speaker 9: you know, little bitty shows around Tennessee writers rounds here 1363 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,840 Speaker 9: in town. Then really caught the bug of it and 1364 01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 9: just fell in love with performing my songs. And that's 1365 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,560 Speaker 9: how I started, you know, playing shows. It was something 1366 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 9: that I never really I didn't you know, it wasn't 1367 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 9: a dream until it happened. And now I really kind 1368 01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 9: of can't, you know, I look back and I can't 1369 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:25,520 Speaker 9: think of it going any other way. 1370 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,160 Speaker 2: See, given all of that, are you still punching yourself 1371 01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 2: or are sort of used to it now? 1372 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:30,000 Speaker 3: No? 1373 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 9: I mean there's still moments of, you know, things where 1374 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:36,560 Speaker 9: I'm like, you know, you think you're gonna wake up 1375 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 9: from a dream, and you know, even this, like you know, 1376 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 9: the thought of you know, if you would have told 1377 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 9: me ten years ago, I was gonna move and sign 1378 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 9: a record deal and have some success with your own 1379 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 9: music and get a chance to tour countries that you've 1380 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:56,840 Speaker 9: been dreaming of visiting and play music there with superstars 1381 01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 9: that you now call buddies. I'd have been like, Man, 1382 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 9: I think you got the wrong guy. I don't think 1383 01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,440 Speaker 9: that's I don't think that's in the cards for me. 1384 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 9: But you know, it's still moments that you wake up 1385 01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 9: and uh, you know, I just came in here from 1386 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,439 Speaker 9: a room that I have some awards that I never 1387 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 9: dream would have dreamed ever would have won. But it's 1388 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,880 Speaker 9: real life and I'm grateful for it. But it definitely 1389 01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,000 Speaker 9: it definitely makes you want to want to taste that 1390 01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:25,520 Speaker 9: that success again. But I am.

That was global, so 1399 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,560 Speaker 2: that's major. Did that feel like something happened at that point? 1400 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, after that release, you know, And that was a 1401 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 9: weird one too because it was kind of coming out 1402 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:55,440 Speaker 9: of our COVID years. 1403 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:56,480 Speaker 10: Uh. 1404 01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,000 Speaker 9: You know, I had released that song when we weren't 1405 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,160 Speaker 9: playing music, and I knew having Luke on it was 1406 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,720 Speaker 9: was going to really bump that one up and it 1407 01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,919 Speaker 9: was gonna get heard more. But it was that first 1408 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 9: show back from probably taking a year off of not 1409 01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 9: playing a show, and I remember almost not even playing 1410 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:16,800 Speaker 9: it that night because I was like, man, I don't 1411 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 9: know how this song is going to react. It's new, 1412 01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 9: you know, we don't we've never played it live. We 1413 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 9: were playing this big beach festival in Carolina, and when 1414 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,800 Speaker 9: we started it, I mean, it was just immediate singback 1415 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 9: and that's when I would say, oh, man, this one, 1416 01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 9: this one feels different. And then I just thought, well, 1417 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:37,719 Speaker 9: you know, these people haven't been to a show. 1418 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 3: In a year. 1419 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 9: Maybe it was just like a lucky night, you know. 1420 01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 9: And then I started seeing, you know, it was that 1421 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 9: it was that way every night, and that was when 1422 01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,679 Speaker 9: I really felt a shift in my career as far 1423 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 9: as people listening to my music and showing up shows, 1424 01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 9: and we've really just been kind of kind of riding 1425 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 9: that wave ever since we released By Dirt and. 1426 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 2: Being a rise. You know, come from a family of writers. 1427 01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:03,200 Speaker 2: Did you know what you had there or did that 1428 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 2: surprise you? 1429 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 9: No, not a clue. You know, I would say, both 1430 01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:11,920 Speaker 9: of my big songs even next thing. You know, when 1431 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 9: we finished them, I didn't think anything of it. You know, 1432 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 9: I was proud of it. And I tell this story too. 1433 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 9: You know, I wrote by Dirt with my brother and 1434 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 9: two of my best friends, Josh and Matt Jenkinson. When 1435 01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,360 Speaker 9: we finished that song, Josh said, Hey, I don't know 1436 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:27,920 Speaker 9: what's going to happen with this, if you're going to 1437 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,360 Speaker 9: record it or if somebody else is going to cut it, 1438 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 9: But I'm really proud of the song we wrote today. 1439 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:34,760 Speaker 9: And I think that's how we kind of left it. 1440 01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,280 Speaker 9: We were just like, you know, this is what we 1441 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 9: this is what we moved to town to do, to 1442 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,160 Speaker 9: write songs like this that mean a lot to us, 1443 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 9: and then kind of let the chips fall where they 1444 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 9: may if it ever gets released. And so no, I'm 1445 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,519 Speaker 9: I'll say this, I am so bad at picking songs 1446 01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:57,400 Speaker 9: that are so called hits. I have no clue. I 1447 01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:58,920 Speaker 9: know how to write them as hard as I can, 1448 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 9: and then after that I leave those to people, the 1449 01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 9: people that know how to pick a good song. 1450 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 2: So what have we got? A couple of albums? And 1451 01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:08,760 Speaker 2: when's the next one? Jew by the way, and how 1452 01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,360 Speaker 2: much of next year twenty twenty five you got sorted? 1453 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,400 Speaker 9: Yeah? A lot of shows already booked for next year. 1454 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:17,759 Speaker 9: We're getting to play a lot of festivals, which is 1455 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 9: is gonna be fun. I feel like the last couple 1456 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,440 Speaker 9: of years, I've been on tours from you know, January 1457 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 9: pretty much through the year, so I haven't been able 1458 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 9: to play a lot of these festivals. So playing a 1459 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:31,439 Speaker 9: lot of festivals. I had an album that I was 1460 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:36,640 Speaker 9: going to release early next year. I just recently have 1461 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,840 Speaker 9: pushed that back. I think I'm going to release it 1462 01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 9: later in the year. We have a fall headlining tour 1463 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,439 Speaker 9: that we're planning, but really not just to put it 1464 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:50,639 Speaker 9: out around that. I just don't feel like I had 1465 01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,679 Speaker 9: the songs that lived up to the record I wanted 1466 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,679 Speaker 9: to put out. So I'm going to write a couple 1467 01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,640 Speaker 9: more months and see if we can finally get it 1468 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,200 Speaker 9: nailed down. But yeah, a lot of touring next year, 1469 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,600 Speaker 9: and and a and a new record middle of the 1470 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 9: way through the year, possibly in the fall. 1471 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,880 Speaker 2: Man, I tell you what you sound like, this is 1472 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:12,840 Speaker 2: the dream you living the dream I am. 1473 01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 9: I don't know, you know, I don't know what else 1474 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:20,040 Speaker 9: I would be doing. Uh, Or I can say this, 1475 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 9: I don't know if I would be doing anything else 1476 01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 9: that would would bring me as much happiness as as 1477 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 9: playing music for a living has done. Now, don't get 1478 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 9: me wrong, there's definitely been some valleys. You know. I 1479 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,000 Speaker 9: set it in the song. Uh. You know, it's ups 1480 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 9: and downs. But just do what you love and call 1481 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,120 Speaker 9: it work.

Mike, do you have a 1538 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,719 Speaker 2: vested interest in Combs coming to the country. He's getting 1539 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:25,519 Speaker 2: a lot of free advertising on your show, Ben I do. 1540 01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:28,799 Speaker 2: The vested interest I have is having as many people 1541 01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 2: exposed to people like Luke Combs as possible, and I'm 1542 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 2: quite hopingly using my platform to increase its popularity. Newspeaking 1543 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:37,960 Speaker 2: in a couple of moments, the hey thing, this is 1544 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,519 Speaker 2: the former Transport minister. There's something going on there that 1545 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,800 Speaker 2: will eventually come out that Zakias crapping himself over at 1546 01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,720 Speaker 2: the moment, but it's yet more problems for him and 1547 01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:52,840 Speaker 2: the opposition a little over it. So Rod Little is next. 1548 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,320 Speaker 4: Setting the news agenda and digging into the issues. The 1549 01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 4: Mico King. 1550 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:04,640 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate, your local experts across residential, 1551 01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 1: commercial and rural news. 1552 01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:07,040 Speaker 4: Togs Head be well. 1553 01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,760 Speaker 2: Barnier is gone. The French have had their vote and 1554 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,320 Speaker 2: he is no longer will be no longer Prime minister. 1555 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,720 Speaker 2: So there were five hundred and seventy four people in 1556 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 2: the in the in the Parliament three thirty one no 1557 01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,360 Speaker 2: confidence two forty three. When we had Catherine on earlier 1558 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,400 Speaker 2: this morning he said he was fifty short. Turned out 1559 01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 2: to be eighty eight the difference, so he couldn't swing it. 1560 01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:25,840 Speaker 2: So he was brought down by the left and the 1561 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 2: far right in one of the I suppose ironies of it. Also, 1562 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,479 Speaker 2: Macron's job is now to go find somebody else who 1563 01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,080 Speaker 2: wants to do the job. And you might remember if 1564 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:35,400 Speaker 2: you followed it at the time he had a lot 1565 01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:39,759 Speaker 2: of trouble finding Barnier. So merry Christmas twenty three minutes 1566 01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 2: away from. 1567 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,600 Speaker 11: Nine International correspondence with ends and eye insurance. Peace of 1568 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:47,519 Speaker 11: mind for New Zealand business Dan. 1569 01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:49,400 Speaker 2: From this weekend, so that it'll be good anyway. In Britain, 1570 01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:53,000 Speaker 2: Rod little morning mate, good morning. You did it very well. 1571 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:58,640 Speaker 2: Indo these arm bands, how angsty is everybody in the football. 1572 01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,639 Speaker 10: Very very very angsty. So so the Football Association which 1573 01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:06,080 Speaker 10: runs football in England and they did Scotland and Wales, 1574 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 10: has decided to embrace political correctness and it's done so 1575 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:14,160 Speaker 10: in the past by insisting the players taking me and 1576 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 10: all this sort of thing, and it does so whilst 1577 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:20,040 Speaker 10: at the same time insisting that players must never wear 1578 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 10: anything which suggests politics or religion, either on their shirts 1579 01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 10: or of their shoes or wear. However they do it, 1580 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,679 Speaker 10: so it's having its ca coneating it. What it's done 1581 01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,960 Speaker 10: now is insist on all players wear rainbow armbands, and 1582 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 10: it's criticized and ticked off. One player, Mark Gaye in 1583 01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 10: England the International Crystal Palace, who wrote on his rainbow 1584 01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:46,720 Speaker 10: arm band, which is there obviously to show solidarity with 1585 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:54,320 Speaker 10: LGBTQI people, Jesus Loves you. Gay is a fervent Christian. 1586 01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 10: His dad is a Christian minister, and it is thought 1587 01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,200 Speaker 10: that he perhaps doesn't entirely go along with all the 1588 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:08,600 Speaker 10: ideas about LGBTQI, so he's been told off. However, the 1589 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,599 Speaker 10: Muslim players who have refused to wear the arm band, 1590 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:16,120 Speaker 10: and they include Sam Morcy, the Egyptian English midfielder from 1591 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 10: Ipswich and luss Masawi, who is a player for Manchester United, 1592 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:24,640 Speaker 10: have refused to wear their arm band peous they say 1593 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,719 Speaker 10: were Muslims, so we don't agree with it. As simple 1594 01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,240 Speaker 10: as that, and of course they've kind of went there. 1595 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:35,040 Speaker 10: So it's just another horrible mess board of identitarian politics 1596 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 10: of which the country is heartily sick, and it causes 1597 01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,599 Speaker 10: far more problems that it solves. And it's been one 1598 01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 10: of the lead stories here over the. 1599 01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,760 Speaker 2: Lad It's a whole I'm sure they could see coming 1600 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,640 Speaker 2: and they don't seem to be able to transpise this. 1601 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,880 Speaker 2: Are the PMQ's and stuff. There is the more with 1602 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,920 Speaker 2: US transport, Louise Hey, is the more with Us came from? 1603 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 2: Is it going to come out and is it going 1604 01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 2: to be super embarrassing. 1605 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,479 Speaker 10: I don't know, it's a short answer. I mean I 1606 01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:06,439 Speaker 10: suspect not, and I mentioned you before. You know, she clearly, 1607 01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 10: I think committed a fraud and knowingly did so. One 1608 01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,719 Speaker 10: would suspect from the evidence which has been placed before 1609 01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:20,120 Speaker 10: the police and why she received a court a sentence 1610 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:24,320 Speaker 10: for it, which was a discharge. So I think it's 1611 01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 10: not quite as innocent as Louise Hay is making out. 1612 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,720 Speaker 10: At the same time, I don't think it's you know, 1613 01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 10: it's anywhere near a resignation issue for Sakia Starver who 1614 01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:40,439 Speaker 10: appointed her. It may speak to a little lack of judgment. 1615 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,800 Speaker 10: But hey, we've got David Lammier's foreign secretary. You know, 1616 01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 10: we don't need more evidence of that. I suspect it's 1617 01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:50,800 Speaker 10: not a big issue. 1618 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:52,519 Speaker 2: Good now, the fact that. 1619 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,320 Speaker 10: Kenny Badden, well, they accept the fact that Kenny Badden 1620 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 10: not chose to lead on it at questions she maybe 1621 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:00,639 Speaker 10: she knows. 1622 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 2: Something, we'll see. The counter to that was Starmer was going, well, 1623 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:07,320 Speaker 2: this is Beltway stuff and while you're fixating here and 1624 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 2: whisments to the real world's getting on with who then 1625 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,200 Speaker 2: one net stand off. 1626 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 10: I think she did right. I think she did, and 1627 01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 10: I think she has him rattled and increasingly when you 1628 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:21,679 Speaker 10: look at him, he looks like a man who wishes 1629 01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:23,800 Speaker 10: he were doing any job in the world other than 1630 01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,040 Speaker 10: the one he's currently doing. 1631 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:29,400 Speaker 2: Funny, how many lived in the British Army three four six. 1632 01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,760 Speaker 10: Eighty thousand. Roughly it's about eighty thousand people in the 1633 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,599 Speaker 10: British Army plus a bunch of reservists. Alistair Khans, who 1634 01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:43,800 Speaker 10: is the Defense Minister and a former soldier himself, says 1635 01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,440 Speaker 10: that we would last about six months up against Russia, 1636 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,400 Speaker 10: you know, and that's because in fair mister Khans and 1637 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:54,080 Speaker 10: the labor government. You know, we've cut our the numbers 1638 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 10: of people joining the army, but massively over the last 1639 01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:01,880 Speaker 10: fourteen years and further bore. We've also tried as hard 1640 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 10: as we possibly can to deter the usual people who 1641 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:10,000 Speaker 10: join the army, I white working class males from joining 1642 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,320 Speaker 10: by having incredibly woke adverts which say, you know, we 1643 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,080 Speaker 10: are in favor of trans and you must sign up 1644 01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:21,479 Speaker 10: to this. They really ought to get back to, you know, 1645 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:26,719 Speaker 10: recruiting from where they are popular, but they haven't. There's 1646 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:30,120 Speaker 10: one suggestion which came out to quite interesting one from 1647 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:34,160 Speaker 10: David Davis, a former Brekxast secretary at Conservative who said 1648 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:37,920 Speaker 10: that students should be drafted into the reserve or offered 1649 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 10: a job as an army reservist for two years during 1650 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,960 Speaker 10: their university courses. They've got about twenty weeks holiday that 1651 01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,360 Speaker 10: could be serving the army, and we'd pay off their 1652 01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:53,960 Speaker 10: student loans, which seems to me a fairly interestingly imaginative option. 1653 01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a set of a thought there. Hey, I 1654 01:20:56,040 --> 01:21:00,120 Speaker 2: was reading the other day about the renationalization of the 1655 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:04,040 Speaker 2: rail and you're part of the world. Is so Southwestern's 1656 01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,519 Speaker 2: the latest and that it's labor policy, and as the 1657 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,840 Speaker 2: contracts come up, they renationalize them if yeah, they had 1658 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:14,800 Speaker 2: worked and sort of denationalizing them originally, if they had 1659 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 2: been successful, would you renationalize or is labor just renationalizing 1660 01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 2: because that's what they do. 1661 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 10: No, it's not what they do, and indeed they'd Kirstarmer 1662 01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,040 Speaker 10: said earlier that he wasn't what he was going to do, 1663 01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:28,559 Speaker 10: and then he changed his mind, and then he changed 1664 01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:30,400 Speaker 10: his mind to get et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 1665 01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 10: It's interesting, No, they haven't been successful. The truth is 1666 01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:39,479 Speaker 10: that the really really busy route such as the one 1667 01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,759 Speaker 10: I use l Er which gets you up from Edinburgh 1668 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 10: to London, has been catastrophic. However, it's been slightly more 1669 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:53,720 Speaker 10: catastrophic since it was nationalized four years ago. So nationalization 1670 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:58,839 Speaker 10: itself doesn't help the railways. More investment and better management mode, 1671 01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:00,839 Speaker 10: but not nationalized say itself. 1672 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:02,519 Speaker 2: Always good to talk to you about. Go well, rod 1673 01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 2: little out of Britain for us this morning, just before 1674 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,519 Speaker 2: we leave that particular part of the world. I didn't 1675 01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 2: know they've got it. But next year they've got a 1676 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:12,880 Speaker 2: junk food ad band coming in anything before nine o'clock 1677 01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,400 Speaker 2: at night, comes in on October next year. Food classified 1678 01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 2: by the government less healthy, which will include the obvious 1679 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 2: fast food, soft drinks, ready meals, et cetera, pastry, cereal bars, 1680 01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 2: and sweetened yogurts. But they've added this morning crumpets and porridge. 1681 01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,640 Speaker 2: So you're thinking, well as porridge. But then and this 1682 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 2: is where these things fall apart. It's not all porridge, 1683 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:40,799 Speaker 2: So porridge with sugar or salt or fat band without sugar, 1684 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 2: salt or fat exempt, so there'll be an entire government department. 1685 01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,600 Speaker 12: And crumpets I mean, well able to depend what you 1686 01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:47,360 Speaker 12: have on it, wait. 1687 01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,880 Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Hence my point. It is eight forty 1688 01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:51,680 Speaker 2: five the. 1689 01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 1: Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1690 01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:56,679 Speaker 1: News Talks. 1691 01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,880 Speaker 2: There be some very good news for you in just 1692 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,000 Speaker 2: a moment before I get there. Around the sycamore gap. 1693 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,879 Speaker 2: Remember the sycamore gap in Britain. The tree got chopped down. Anyway, 1694 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 2: seedlings from that, currently being cared for by the National 1695 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 2: Trust Plant Plant Conservation Center, are going to be sent 1696 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:17,160 Speaker 2: out around the place to grow some more sycamore trees, 1697 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,360 Speaker 2: which is a lovely thing and by way of a gift, 1698 01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:21,479 Speaker 2: and I quite like this, but I'm a bit weird 1699 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,360 Speaker 2: like this. So they've taken some of the curtains from 1700 01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 2: the palaces Windsor Castle mainly this year and they've recycled 1701 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 2: them into coverings for footstools.

It was the style they say used 1706 01:23:55,760 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 2: in the fifties to the nineties. It's quite beautif. I 1707 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:01,439 Speaker 2: think it's quite beautiful. 1708 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:06,639 Speaker 12: So some colorful foot stools heading to the Husking Hall time. 1709 01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:08,640 Speaker 9: On one. 1710 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:10,960 Speaker 2: Hand, draft do they do? 1711 01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 12: They do a poof? 1712 01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:17,439 Speaker 2: I wish they did, but they don't.
