00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Six twenty two on news Talk z Be. Jamie McKay

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: is the host of the Country Jamie Good Evening.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 2: Hey, good evening, Ryan. Hey, just before we get into it.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: Us driving earlier this afternoon, and I heard you talking

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: to somebody about the Hallbergs tonight getting underway tonight, and

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 2: I'm with you, it's got to be Lydia co And

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: I love Dame Lisa Carrington. We all do. We all

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: love Lydia as well. But when you compare the two sports,

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 2: and I'm not knocking kayaking at all, but on a

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: world stage, I think Dame Lydia.

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Is she a Dame yet, Yes she is, She's our younger.

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: I think Dame Lydia deserves to Dame Lisa Carrington. There

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: you go, just my two Bob, No, I.

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Like, I agree with you. I agree with you, and

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: I think because the global you know, attention, and I

16
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: guess the global nature of that sport as well, I

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: think will add to the to the accolades that she'll

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: probably would tonight. Anyway, we'll waiting to see. So you've

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: been speaking with Winston Peter's today and he is saying,

20
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: basically pull out of the Paris climbate accord, Seymour is

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,279
Speaker 1: saying not yet, and then you've got four old luxeen

22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: in the middle between a rock and a hard place.

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: Well interesting. I talked to Winston earlier this morning and

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: he said, look, we should be out, and he's held

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: that line for quite a while. He said, what's the

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: use of being in when the US in the China

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: and Russia aren't there? And that's a fair point as well,

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: and so I dropped Seymour a text just to reiterate

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: what his position was, and he made an interesting comment comment.

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: He said, not get out of it yet. At some

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: stage in the future, the cost of being in it

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: will be greater than the punishment for leaving. So I

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: thought that was a really interesting comment. And it does

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: leave Christopher Luxe and or the NATS in a wee

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: bit of a sticky situation on this one, because the

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: cost of complying to this Ryan is what twenty three

37
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: or twenty four billion dollars. So we're not talking chump

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: change there.

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not. We've just had John Stevenson on about this.

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: But what do you make of this Fonterra money. It's

41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: not Fonterra money, it's nesle and Mars money that they've

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: written into a contract where they farmers will get an

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: extra top up on their payout if they're doing good

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: green things.

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: Well, the Nesle Mars top up is ten to twenty

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: five cents a kilogram, which is I guess meaningful, but

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: it's only going to go to three to three hundred

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: and fifty farms Fonterra farms nationwide. That's like three percent

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: of their farms. Interestingly, the other ones I don't know

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: whether the John touched on this, I didn't hear the interview,

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: but there if they meet their climate criteria, they're going

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: to get one to five cents per kilogram of milk

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: solids to meet it. Now, that's less than half per

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: half a percent of your milk price based on a

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: ten dollar payout. And interestingly, on my show today I

56
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: smoke I spoke to Kevin Smiley Barrett, yes, the father

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: of all the All Blacks and a very handy Taranaki

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: rugby player himself, and he thought Mars. This was his

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: initial take on it. His hot take on it was

60
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: Mars and Nestle are doing a bit of green washing.

61
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: And I think that's the truth from the coal face

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: from smiling. Yeah.

63
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: Interesting. Now the FO farmers that we get this twice

64
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: a year. The confidence surveys out at five o'clock tomorrow morning.

65
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: What are you picking?

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to say I haven't seen it, but

67
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: I have. But but if I tell you, Ryan, I'd

68
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: have to shoot you. Look, I mean even before I

69
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 2: glanced at and I've got to respect the embargo. Look

70
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: at farmers aren't happy this time around. They will have

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: earned they're often unjust tagged for being moners. The planets

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: are really aligning for farmers at the moment. We've got

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: good commodity prices almost right across the board walls obviously

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: a bit of an outlier strong while I'm talking about,

75
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: but everything else as pretty good. Interest rates are coming down.

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: They've got a pretty user friendly government in terms of

77
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: regulation and non farm costs. So I'm expecting, right read

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: between the lines on this one, a pretty positive farmer

79
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: confidence survey which will be due out at five am tomorrow.

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: Con Federated Farmers a nice one.

81
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: I think you've given us a good wink and a nudge.
