They're upgrading 24 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: those also working on metro stations and underground garages, so 25 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: that one million can take shelter what from well currently Russia. 26 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: So the push is on for five percent of GDP 27 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: spending on defense and a spruce up of shelters for 28 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 2: when the bad guys come. Then in Los Angeles looks 29 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 2: like a hellscape at the BIMA does the Fed's roll 30 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: into town to drag a lot of illegals out and 31 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: send them back to where they came from, Made of 32 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: course more complicated by the fact one a lot of 33 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: the economy is frequented by illegals doing jobs no one 34 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: else wants to do, too, a local government that's seen 35 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: the place fall apart socially because of homelessness and crime, 36 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 2: And three a central government that hates the local government 37 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: says very keen to send a message of toughness around 38 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: the illegals issue. How to know whether this is mainly 39 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: social or political? Are the pressures certainly on Trump to 40 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: boost the border and sort the migrant to shoe out. 41 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: Like a lot of what he promised, it hasn't happened, 42 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: so it may be convenient to do it in a 43 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: liberal state like California.

Russia produces 82 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 7: in three months what the Hall of NATO produces in 83 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 7: a year. 84 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 8: Right. 85 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: So then in Britain we got the big backdown that's 86 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: happened to ourbinight as Rachel rolls out of winter payment 87 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: for my the people she took it away from because 88 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: she couldn't afford it. 89 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 6: Our public finances are now in a better position, which. 90 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 8: Means that this year we're able to play the. 91 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 9: Winter fuel payment to more pensioners. 92 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 10: So nine million we'll receive it this year. 93 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: No, they're not. Rachel Bednock sees it for what it is. 94 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 11: We can all talk about what a new system can 95 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 11: look like, but the point is that liber have made 96 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 11: a mess and now they're having to. 97 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 6: Clean it up.

So for a ticket from 106 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: Chicago to Peoria, which is not really a long distance flight, 107 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 2: it's less than three hours to drive in any way, 108 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: for flying two hundred and sixty nine one way for 109 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: a solo traveler that it was one agy one if 110 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: you booked for two or more. 111 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 12: Hold on. 112 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: So since the report by Delta and United, they'd backtracked 113 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: on all of this removed the higher appears and thriftly 114 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: travelers say they're going to be monitoring. We meant to 115 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: make sure it's not temporary. That's ne the world in 116 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 2: ninety chats in London will talk about that. In the moment, 117 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: the Chinese and the US are in London to try 118 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: and sort out their mess and interesting numbers around the 119 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: Chinese economy, some of them good, some of them not 120 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: so good for you.

You 124 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: New York Fed survey on consumer expectation one year inflation, 125 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: that look is down to three point two percent, so 126 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: people feeling moderately confident for now anyway. Fourteen past six, 127 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 2: you Haven Trunds Management, Greg Smith, Morning to you, Morning 128 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: to Mike. So London's where they're talking about it. Interesting 129 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: numbers out of China yesterday. 130 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 12: You're always on London, and are you just a bit 131 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 12: of a reminder that Chinla's got a vested interest in 132 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 12: getting a deal done. You talk about inflation's a problem 133 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 12: in many places, but Trent's battling deflation. 134 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 13: So you're there. 135 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 12: Consumer prices down point one percent in May. Actually there's 136 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 12: the projection of the IMF that CPI and Chine's actually 137 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 12: going to average zero this year. They'd be the weakest 138 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 12: since the GFC in two thousand and nine. Food and 139 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 12: energy prices are still weighing screwing those. CPI looks a 140 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 12: bit better at point six percent. Price at the factory 141 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 12: to gate there down for a thirty second month, down 142 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 12: by three point three percent, and it's actually the most 143 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 12: nearly two years. Prices the coal mining energy down seventeen 144 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 12: percent plus. So yeah, basically my Chinese consumers are hunkering down. 145 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 12: There's obviously the property slump, and there's also lots of 146 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 12: sectors engaged in price wars, and so it's obviously news 147 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 12: recently about bid they've cut prices on a lot of 148 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 12: their models as much as thirty percent, So yeah, Beijing 149 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 12: is probably going to be conscious of they need to 150 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 12: get a trade deal done. Also preps introduce more stimulus, 151 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,119 Speaker 12: and yeah, while the bestic sides under pressure, exports also 152 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 12: under the pump as well. So they rose a less 153 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 12: and expected four point eight percent through sixteen billion uistyles. 154 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 12: Crehaps no surprise given the tariffs of the US. They're 155 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 12: down from nosebleed levels but still there, and they fell 156 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 12: the most more than five years. They were down thirty 157 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 12: four percent, so that count directed a rise in other markets. 158 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 12: Imports over down as well, but Chrya still running trade services. 159 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 12: It's earning about half a trillion dollars a year to date, 160 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 12: but that could easily dissipate if this uneasy truce, if 161 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 12: the US should we say, falls over and should tell 162 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 12: us of other country kickback and that we have demanduplications. 163 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 12: So certainly got an interest in getting these trade talks 164 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 12: over the line. Of course, the reprieve runs out in August, 165 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 12: and it has been reported that they've extended a few 166 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 12: more olive branches as it were, so doing a bit 167 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 12: on rare ifs, and also Boeing is back from the 168 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 12: coal that's begun deliveries of commercial jets. So yeah, but 169 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 12: always on London, Mic. 170 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll stand by. In Japan, they're going backwards as well. 171 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 12: Yeah, they are as well. She's obviously another big export nation, 172 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 12: which is hasn't a deal with the US yet, but 173 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 12: we shouldn't getting one done so GDP. They actually fell 174 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 12: least the initial reading y point two percent in the 175 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 12: March quarter after a point seven decline point seventercent to 176 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 12: climb that was estimated earlier. But he certainly want those 177 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 12: trade talks to be resolved. They've got a ten percent 178 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 12: reciprocal tariff, of course, but a much more meaty twenty 179 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 12: five percent tariff on the auto sector. I suppose one 180 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 12: thing in their favor. Trump's been going on about how 181 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 12: Japan would always fight to keep the end week. Well, 182 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 12: the ends actually increased eight percent outs to the US 183 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 12: dollars year. Obviously, they've pivoted away from that negative interest 184 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 12: rate policy last year, so that's sort of helping the currency. 185 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 12: So yeah, there's gonna be a lot of eyes on 186 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 12: talks there, including from the Bank of Japan. They meet 187 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 12: next week. They slash their growth and inflation forecasts at 188 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 12: the last meeting at the start of May. They have 189 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 12: better deflation in the past. But I suppose one bit 190 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 12: of good news for them as inflation is above the 191 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 12: Bank of Japan's two percent target and it's been there 192 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 12: for basically three years, so that's positive. They'll give them 193 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 12: room to raise rates, although of course tariffs are complicating 194 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 12: these plans. So yeah, lots of interesting news Japan trade 195 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 12: talks as well. 196 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: And then we come back home yet more celebration. When 197 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 2: does it end? How good can it be? Those red 198 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: meat numbs? 199 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 12: A yeah, absolutely, you talk about the good news stories 200 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 12: in New Zealand. Of course we've had the dairy sector, 201 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 12: but the agreece sector in general is doing well, and 202 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 12: of course there was a lot of fears about how 203 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 12: the red meat would do given Trump's tariffs and how 204 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 12: they would impact sales to the US. Well, in April 205 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 12: they sedged thirty nine percent to three hundred and forty 206 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 12: four million. That was down around about fifty million from March. 207 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 12: But to put that in context, that was a global 208 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 12: record for any month, and this is according to the 209 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 12: Meat Industry Association. So there's also reports of ingenuity there Mike, 210 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 12: that they're mixing sort of American beef with New Zealand 211 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 12: beef for hambig burger paddies. But look over all, looks 212 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 12: like the red meat sectors in pretty good. Nick, So 213 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 12: total revenue is one point two billion, that was up 214 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 12: thirty four percent year on year. It was a little 215 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 12: bit lower from one point two six in March, but 216 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 12: it was also a record month. 217 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 4: Volumes actually lower, but. 218 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's all about the high prices that's really making 219 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 12: up for that. And all major markets grew outside the 220 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 12: US as well. So you look at China that's the 221 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 12: next biggest sales there at nine percent, two fifty three 222 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 12: million UK up fifty six percent. Netherlands nearly doubled, Germany 223 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 12: up one hundred and sixty percent. So yeah, it's good 224 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 12: news for the New Zealand farmers. 225 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: Mike, I like it.

That's the replacement program and a cheaper 305 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: version of what really has been groundbreaking television show. Is 306 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: the longest serving panel member and the conservative old white guy. 307 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: How I lasted for one year, let alone fifteen, It's 308 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: been a miracle. The concept of the project was largely 309 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: a brave brainwave from Roving Enterprises Craig Campbell. The idea 310 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: was to combine a news program with comedy and opinion, 311 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: original and groundbreaking. The show one awards made national TV 312 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: stars out of its hosts, and gave visiting musicians, rock 313 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: stars and authors and sportspeople a nighttime vehicle to plug concerts, 314 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: movies and books, and tolerated politicians also pushing their own barrows. 315 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: Those ignorant people doing the glad they got Sacks dance 316 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 2: over the cancelation, calling the show woke and lefty. Hello, 317 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 2: I'm the exact opposite of that description and have been 318 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: there from almost the start. Show me that sort of 319 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: political balance on any ABC TV show, you can't. The 320 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: human face of this decision is what troubles me most. 321 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: The project was the best resource media show I've ever 322 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: worked on. Behind the scenes was a gifted, hard working 323 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 2: crew of young producers and comedy writers, editors, journalists, camera operators, 324 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: makeup artists, wardrobe assistance. Most of all, these talented crew 325 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: are now out of work as the replacement show moves 326 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: to sit in. The economic times are tough, I know 327 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: that and free to wear TV as in a battle 328 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: with global streaming services to survive. Melbourne and Australia has 329 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: lost something unique this week, A live TV show with passion, courage, 330 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: humor and heart. It he sums up sad that's very 331 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: well put, Steven. He's still got work on this program 332 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: for as long as he wants. By the way, businesses, 333 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: business sales are booming. Everyone wants a chunk of this action. 334 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: I'll give you some numbers and we'll talk more about 335 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: it after the News, which is next. You're used talks edb. 336 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: The news and the news makers, the Mic Hosking, Breakfast 337 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: with the Defender Doctor the most powerful defender ever made, 338 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: News talks Dead bo. 339 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 2: Someone coming up, and of course the ongoing discussion around 340 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: the wall and funding and Katherine Field's all over that. 341 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: So she's with a short and meantime at twenty four 342 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: minutes away from seven. The business of sales of business 343 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 2: seems to be booming. Our buyer inquiries are up thirty percent, 344 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: listings down ten percent. So you've got to demand out 345 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: stripping supply issue there, I guess. Chris Small is the 346 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: CEO of ABC Business Sales and as well as Chris, 347 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: morning to you. 348 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 16: Wait, Mikey, you don't very well. 349 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: Indeed, this has been happening for a while. We've had 350 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: you on several times out so this is this is 351 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: a thing, This is a trend. Is that fair? 352 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 16: Yeah, we just we just hit a record month in May. 353 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 16: We had forty two business sales in May, which is 354 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 16: the most we've ever had. So it's, as you rightly 355 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 16: point out in your first sort of statement, their demand 356 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 16: is sort of well, I almost call it out of control. 357 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 16: It's the highest we've ever seen in business sales history. 358 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: Currently, who are these people and what do they want? 359 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 16: Yep, great question. So pretty much led by the migrants. 360 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 16: So is a huge ethnic element to this or a 361 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 16: lot of Indian, Chinese and Filipinos are coming to New 362 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 16: Zealand and wanting to buy businesses. And then if we 363 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 16: do it, we've do a sector analysis, you'll see hospitality, services, 364 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 16: and construction are probably the three leading sectors that they're 365 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 16: looking to buy it. They would make up over fifty 366 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 16: as well as retails. You got hospitality thirty percent, retail 367 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 16: eighteen percent, services fifteen percent, So that's over fifty percent 368 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 16: from those three sectors. 369 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 2: So explain to me then, because the number of people 370 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: coming to the country is starting to tail off, would 371 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: you then expect the number of people looking to purchase 372 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: businesses starting to tail off? Then it's all immigration. 373 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 16: Good good question. What we're seeing is that people are 374 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 16: still arriving in New Zealand. From what we can see, 375 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 16: those people arriving in New Zealand are largely Asian migrants, 376 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 16: and the people that are leaving New Zealand are probably 377 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 16: largely European pakiha going to Europe for their own way. 378 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 16: So you sort of the people arriving and still wanting 379 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 16: to buy businesses and the people leaving a probably people 380 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 16: who would never buy businesses in the first place. So 381 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 16: just the shape of the population is trending towards I 382 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 16: guess a certain element to wield it's best business ownership 383 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 16: with bes. The young ones leaving would never buy a 384 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 16: business because they don't have the money currently. 385 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: No exactly. So the interesting thing for me is this 386 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: unemployment side of the equation. So immigration is a cultural thing. 387 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: They don't want to work for somebody else, They want 388 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 2: to work for themselves. Fully get that as an unemployed person. 389 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 2: Though if I'm looking then all of a sudden at 390 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 2: the business, do I know what I'm doing? 391 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 16: Yeah, they're pretty good. I mean everyone's obviously got obviously 392 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 16: we provide advice. People have got their own accountants and lawyers. 393 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 16: But it's becoming a real thing. They would people are 394 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 16: coming to us and going, you know what I'm sick of. 395 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 16: I'm sick of working for a big corporate. It's too 396 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 16: woke or it's too annoying. I don't like my boss, 397 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 16: and I want that financial freedom with Actually, if they 398 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 16: work really hard, you get rewarded. If you don't work hard, you' 399 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 16: obviously going to be a better trouble Versus in corporate 400 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 16: New Zealand, you can probably work pretty hard and not 401 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 16: necessarily get rewarded for the hours you put in. 402 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 2: If you've got a good business, a going concern, see 403 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: I mean, how many of your stock are kind of 404 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: it could go well if you did it better, versus 405 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 2: it's not a great business anyway, Versus this thing's booming 406 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 2: and it'll sell in three minutes. 407 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 16: Look, majority of what we sell is all profitable because 408 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 16: no one buys a businesses that's making a loss. So 409 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 16: we always say that to people who may come and 410 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 16: see us, that you know, there's no point taking us 411 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 16: to market because no one's going to want to buy it. 412 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 16: There are exceptions to the rule, but to the majority 413 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 16: of what we sell are full going concerns, which which 414 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 16: are highly profitable, and that's way they're selling otherwise there's 415 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 16: no point taking it to market. 416 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: Are the banks and on board with the stuff? Is 417 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: their money for this kind of activity if you want? 418 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 16: Absolutely yeah, we'll look at the bank's a funny things 419 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 16: that they love. We all know they love making money 420 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 16: and given the recent decline and property transactions, they've really 421 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 16: moved towards what we call sme business and have been 422 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 16: very happy to accommodate transactions, you know, but they're sensible. 423 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 16: They're not going to lend to bad, bad transactions. 424 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 13: Both. 425 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 16: It's a sensible transaction. The bank's absolutely absolutely there for it. 426 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 2: Do you do a sauna and cold plunge every day? 427 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 8: Yes? 428 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: I do? 429 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 16: Who told you that? 430 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: I know?

And what's happening here, and this is 473 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 2: where the commentary is interesting, is it's all internal competition 474 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: at the moment. So nothing's really happened externally, i e. 475 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: The RB, This is just banks scrapping for market share, 476 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 2: thus indicating I would have thought it. Nichola willis as listening. 477 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 2: There is competition among the banks anyway, until we see 478 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: something more substantive from the RB. This is about where 479 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: we're at. If we see something to break four five 480 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 2: they reckon four point five for a mortgage, you're going 481 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: to need to see the RB move and move substantially 482 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 2: next time around. That hasn't happened yet, so now it's 483 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: just internal banking competition. 484 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 4: Six forty five International Correspondence with Enzen Eye Insurance Peace 485 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 4: of Mind for New Zealand Business. 486 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: Captain Field, morning to you. Good morning mate. So I 487 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: noticed that Rutter was at Chathamhouse and talking about the 488 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: expenditure and how we all need to pay more for defense. 489 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: And we've got the NATO meetings, So this sort of 490 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: building up to a head of steam here. 491 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 10: We're right at the start of quite a few summits 492 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 10: make because don't forget, of course, we've got the G 493 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 10: seven summit in Canada coming up in a week. We've 494 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 10: then got the NATO summit in the Hague the week 495 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 10: after that, so we're really looking at these high stakes summits, 496 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 10: which we're going to, of course have US President Donald 497 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 10: Trump coming along to that and having his say about 498 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 10: how the Western allis should be acting. The big one, 499 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 10: of course is that NATO summit a critical moment for 500 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 10: global security. We've got Trump unpredictable. We've here in Europe 501 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 10: got fears that the US could sort of militarily disengage 502 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 10: from Europe, perhaps even start pulling out as they pivot 503 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 10: more towards Asia. So that is exactly what Rutta is 504 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 10: saying today. He's saying, you know what, you can wish 505 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 10: all you like, but wishful thinking, we'll not keep safe. 506 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 10: He said, you can't dream this danger away. What he's 507 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 10: proposing is that NATO members, all thirty two of them, 508 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 10: move very quickly to that two percent GDP spenditure on defense, 509 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 10: and then by twenty thirty that two percent of GDP 510 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 10: moves up to five percent, so it will be about 511 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 10: three and a half percent on military expenditure. And here's 512 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 10: the other interesting new but Mike, one point five percent 513 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 10: for defense related items. So that would be you know, bridges, roads, airfields, seaports, 514 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 10: things like that, which he says, you know, and of 515 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 10: course also which we've seen in Ukraine in the last 516 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 10: what six or seven months, you know, Europe has got 517 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 10: to start thinking more about long range missiles and drones. 518 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 10: And one of the big things he said was when 519 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 10: it comes to ammunition, Russia produces in three months what 520 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 10: the whole of NATO produces in a year. 521 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 2: It's funny businesses. And I mentioned earlier on in the 522 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: programs reading a piece out of Germany yesterday, and they're 523 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: refurbing some of those underground bunkers, underground garages and stuff. 524 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 2: How angsty is Europe, you know, genuinely angsty that Russian's 525 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: going further than Ukraine and we need to you know, 526 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 2: refurbish underground bunkers there is you know. 527 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 10: It kind of gets more angsty the closer to Russia 528 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 10: you get. If you talk to defense experts, say in 529 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 10: the Baltic States, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, I mean, they're really nervous. Finland, 530 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 10: of course you join NATO, which no one thought it 531 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 10: would do, same as Sweden. So they're really angsty because 532 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 10: they see that the Russian bear is angry. They've seen 533 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 10: that there was no pulling back after that big Ukrainian 534 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 10: operation in Russia last week where they knocked out all 535 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 10: these military aircraft. 536 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: They are really worried. 537 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 10: Certainly when you hear what the French are saying about 538 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 10: the need for the nuclear deterrent to be up to speed, 539 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 10: the question of sharing nuclear de terrant, it is pretty 540 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 10: angsty and there's nothing to to make them think otherwise 541 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 10: at the moment. 542 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 2: Speaking of get together as marine, Lapin's been holding a 543 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 2: you know, a little gathering of the like mind and 544 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: does that achieve She's not in I mean Salbini, I 545 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 2: guess isn't power and stuff to what does this achieve? 546 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 10: Well, it shows not just for Marine Lapenn but also 547 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 10: for aubound from Hungary and Salveni. It shows that they're 548 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 10: a united front. They're all They're meeting just south of Paris, 549 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 10: have been meeting all day. They've got some six thousand 550 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 10: of their supporters down there, and it's showing that these 551 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 10: are friends across Europe, they've got friends in the US 552 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 10: and the Trump administration, and that their influence is that 553 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 10: is really growing. That's essentially the message they want. 554 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: To give out. 555 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 10: They're saying that, of course the ninth of June is 556 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 10: victory day for them, because it was ninth of June 557 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 10: last year the European elections that saw Mahine Leapin's party 558 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 10: do so well in the European parliamentary elections. And of 559 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 10: course it was a day since just like yesterday, but 560 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 10: it was a year ago that French presidents Emanuel Maccron 561 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 10: dissolve Parliament, which of course led to Marine Leapenn and 562 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 10: her party having such a big say in French politics. 563 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 2: Always good to have you on the program, Katayin Catherine 564 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 2: Field out of France FORERRUS this morning. 565 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: It is ten to seven the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 566 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: Bailey's Real Estate News Talks. 567 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 9: D B. 568 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: Robinson yesterday's off to join his family in Australia, so 569 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: they're looking for a new CEO of course, so he's 570 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 2: with us on the program.

So 573 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 2: he's with us after right, Mike just spoke. He just 574 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 2: spoke about street Smart. When you go to the website, 575 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 2: it's property management, not driving for teenagers. Well that's because 576 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: you've gone to the wrong website. It is street smart 577 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: dot in Z, not street Smart dot Co. Street Smart 578 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 2: dot in Z seven away from seven, all the ins 579 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 2: and the ouse. 580 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business fiber take your business productivity 581 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: to the next level. 582 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: So how are we doing at the moment? How are 583 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 2: we feeling economically? The number of this making withdrawals from 584 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: Kiwi Saber for the hardship that's up. Total amount withdrawn 585 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 2: is up, So that's an indication that times are type 586 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: for some inland revenue number show this is between July 587 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 2: of last year. By the way, in April of this year, 588 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: three hundred and ninety million was withdrawn for hardship reasons. 589 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 2: Three hundred ninety million. That's increased from three hundred million 590 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 2: the year before. So three hundred to three ninety three 591 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 2: ninety is going to forty four thousand people, which is 592 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: up from thirty two thousand, five hundred some more people 593 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 2: getting more money. Now what that means is if you'll 594 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: say thirty five as an age, we're twenty two k 595 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 2: in the Kiwi Saber, and you take out twenty by 596 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: the time you sixty five, you're going to have seventy 597 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 2: four thousand dollars less than your account. So the consequential 598 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 2: decisions you're making. But and this is where some of 599 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 2: the drama around this needs to be put in some 600 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: sort of context. There are, of course three point three 601 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 2: to three million of us in Kiwi Saber. So how 602 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 2: many is that pulling money on hardship one point three percent, 603 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 2: So in other words, ninety eight point seventy fine, thank 604 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: you very much, So let's not you know, can get 605 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 2: overly carried away about that. Then I come to my 606 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 2: favorite set of numbers for the morning from MB and 607 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: this is all sorts of interesting about income and the 608 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: cost of a mortgage in various parts of the country, 609 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 2: depending on where you live. Northland, for example, Northland, you 610 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: got well. I mean the headline would be eleven percent 611 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: of the population are on job seeker, so you think, 612 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 2: what a dump? What's going wrong? You know a lot 613 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: of people with no work in Northland, and yet the 614 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 2: average household incomes one hundred and twenty three thousand, nine hundred. 615 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: Le's call one hundred and twenty four thousand dollars. Forty 616 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 2: eight percent of your median income is servicing a mortgage. 617 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 2: You go to a place like Auckland, are you're earning 618 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 2: on average household income one hundred and fifty five GDP 619 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 2: per capita is eighty eight point three, but you're paying 620 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 2: half your money on your mortgage. Why would you want 621 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: to live in orcs if you can't afford to live 622 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: in Aukland? Where you living in Auckland? Because there are 623 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 2: so many bitter places around the country where you can 624 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: earn more and the cost of living's cheap. For hawks 625 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 2: Bay average incomes one hundred and fifty it's about the 626 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: same as Auckland, so you're in the same amount of 627 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 2: money on average in Hawks Bay and the weekly rents 628 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 2: six hundred and seventy dollars GDP per capita sixty five 629 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, So you're doing better in a place like 630 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 2: Hawk's Bay and dere I suggest the fruit's nicer because 631 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: it's grown locally. Wellington one hundred and sixty two thousand. Mind, 632 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 2: you got to live in Wellington. Yes, you're inning a 633 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: lot of money, big money in Wellington because you'll work 634 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: for the government. But you've got to know you've got 635 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: to be in Wellington. Unemployment's four point eight percent, so 636 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 2: despite all the noise around the government laying all the 637 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 2: people off, it's not actually a bad number. Canterbury Boom 638 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: Time second best regional economic performance of courses you would 639 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: expect average income in Canterbury's one hundred and thirty two 640 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Second. Now, this is the thing about these numbers. 641 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: Second most optimistic in the country Canterbury. So that's not 642 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: a surprise. Do you know what the most optimistic region 643 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: in the country is Auckland. Explain that to me. How 644 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: do you do it? But Otago go in one hundred 645 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,239 Speaker 2: and twenty two thousand dollars. In Otago, you're laughing, or 646 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 2: if you want to laugh even more, go in an 647 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: average one hundred and eleven thousand dollars in Southland and 648 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: it will only take twenty nine percent of your income 649 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: to serve us and mortgage, so you're earning good money. 650 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 2: Your mortgage costs next to nothing because you're cost of 651 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: your house and gdpeople at Captain is eighty three point 652 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: six and that'll leave the Deary of course. So there's 653 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 2: lots of different places in New Zealand, and there are 654 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: lots of people in this country that could do whatever 655 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: they do anywhere they want if they wanted to move. 656 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: So why so many people apart themselves in Auklanne They 657 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: got no real idea Teachers.

Education Minister Erica 671 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 2: Stamford's with us morning, come on, correct me if I'm wrong. 672 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 2: Eighteen hundred and sixty four in total eleven twenty eight 673 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: and primary seven thirty six secondary. Is that balanced? Is 674 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 2: that sort of what we need? 675 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 9: That is sort of what we need, and it is 676 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 9: starting to plug a gap. And you know, we're creating 677 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 9: this world leading education system people want to be a 678 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 9: part of. We do have a shortage of primary and 679 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 9: secondary school teachers, and I think that these numbers are 680 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 9: starting to arrest that decline and more people are wanting 681 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 9: to get into education to change lives. 682 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: What's changed, Well, there's. 683 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 9: A number of factors that have changed, but I mean, essentially, 684 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 9: teachers want to go into teaching right to change lives, 685 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 9: and we are helping them to do that. We've got 686 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 9: a world leading curriculum, all of the incredible resources for 687 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 9: free that go along with it, all of this amazing 688 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 9: world leading professional learning and development, and just announce this 689 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 9: huge learning support package and that has certainly helped. Look 690 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 9: on top of that, we've invested really heavily into on 691 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 9: site training programs, We're paying teacher fees. You know, there's 692 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 9: a number of things that have gone into making this 693 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 9: a profession that people want to go into. We're really 694 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 9: focused on making sure that we're talking up how incredible 695 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 9: it is to be a teacher and to change lives. 696 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,239 Speaker 9: But I think a big part of it is all 697 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 9: of the resourcing that's going in at the moment. 698 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 2: What's the breakdown at locals v immigrants and does it matter? 699 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 9: Look, I certainly want to grow our own. We know 700 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 9: that last year we had a substantial increase, just over 701 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 9: six point three percent increase in young people studying at 702 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 9: initial teacher education. This year, this is just provisional figures 703 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 9: so far, it's a twenty seven percent increase. So we 704 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 9: are seeing more and more young people choosing to go 705 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 9: into education and be part of this world leading education system. 706 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 9: But we are bolstering the numbers, of course by overseas teachers. 707 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 9: Then we have to do that at the moment and 708 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 9: we probably will continue to need to do into the 709 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 9: future as well. 710 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: If you gave the numbers for the average income for 711 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 2: a teacher. Do you think most people, like my good 712 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: self would be surprised at the figures? 713 00:32:59,360 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 13: Well? 714 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 9: Duh it Now when I ask people what do you 715 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 9: think it is, they always guess a lot lower, which 716 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 9: I think is telling. But the numbers are. You know, 717 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 9: it is a tough job, and we do expect a 718 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 9: huge amount of our teachers, and they are changing lives, 719 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 9: and so we need to be making sure we're paying 720 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 9: them more every single pay round, which we've committed to do. 721 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 9: But I don't think most people do know what the 722 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 9: average teacher. 723 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 2: Is on ninety four for a primary teacher, average one 724 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 2: hundred and one for a secondary teacher a principal at 725 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 2: secondary two hundred thousand dollars. That's serious money. 726 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, and and they work extraordinarily hard for that 727 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 9: and they do an amazing job. 728 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: Good. Well, I'm glad we're getting somewhere. We're on a 729 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 2: path here, Erica. Do you think we are? 730 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 9: And Mike, I've been overseas and I have been the 731 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 9: Minister's of Education from all around the world come up 732 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 9: to me. They know what we're doing, they're watching what 733 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 9: we're doing. We are world leading in our curriculum and 734 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 9: in our resourcing and our shifts in the way that 735 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 9: we're teaching to that explicit structured learning. People are watching us. 736 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 9: It is world leading and it's exciting to be a. 737 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: Part of good. All right, Nice to talk to your 738 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 2: Ministry of Education at Erica Stamford. Remember those words next 739 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: time you hear a unionist on the news. Ten minutes 740 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 2: past seven PASKI report from the Ministerial Advisory Group on 741 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 2: Organized Crime. This is the third one. Turns out we're 742 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 2: not as free of corruption as we might think. There's 743 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 2: a warning around bribery and coercion of police and immigration officials. 744 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 2: Now Steve Simon, of course, is the chair of this 745 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: Ministerial Advisory Group and he's back with us. Morning. 746 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 18: Good morning to you mate. 747 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,240 Speaker 2: This growing body of evidence quote unquote that you find, 748 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 2: what is it? 749 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 18: It's from everywhere. What we're seeing is talking to the 750 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 18: most senior officials in our government enforcement agencies. We're talking 751 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 18: to former gang members, we're talking to frontline staff. Everywhere 752 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 18: we look. We're seeing this problem of organized crime, and 753 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 18: we're seeing it seep into all areas of business which 754 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 18: deal with the potential for drugs coming into the country. 755 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 2: A corrupt nation or is that going over the top. 756 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 18: We are a country that's become in corrupt. We were 757 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,479 Speaker 18: proudly the number one country in the world in terms 758 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 18: of the least amount of corruption. We've dropped down to 759 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 18: number four, and we're unfortunately trending in the wrong direction. 760 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 18: But more than that, I think what we're seeing is 761 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 18: we used to be a country where I think we 762 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 18: genuinely could trust one another to keep up the values 763 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 18: of our country, and sadly, I think it's being eroded. 764 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 2: When we use the word corruption, are you sure of 765 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 2: what you're onto? In other words, when you talk to 766 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 2: an XT gang member and they're going to god knows 767 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 2: what they're going to say, So you're confident of what 768 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 2: you're discovering here that we are increasingly corrupt. 769 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 18: Yes, If we talked to most senior officials and the 770 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 18: police and customs and we ask them of the large 771 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 18: scale drug importations, of the large scale legal tobacco importations, 772 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 18: how many of them involve a corrupt official? It is 773 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 18: by far the vast majority of those cases. Wow, the 774 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 18: organized crime could not work in New Zealand without the 775 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 18: benefit of corrupt insiders. 776 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 2: Is it on the inside of the border. In other words, 777 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 2: I can see the port, the airport, I get all 778 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 2: of that. I see the Pacific, But beyond that are 779 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 2: we corrupt internally? So to speak. 780 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 18: It's a very good point, Mike. It starts at the border, 781 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 18: but we are now seeing it trending into immigration advisors, 782 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 18: into lawyers, into accountants, into police officials, and so what 783 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 18: we're seeing is it's starting to follow a trend which 784 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 18: we're seen in other countries around the world, where it 785 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 18: begins at your ports, because it's the most valuable and 786 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,919 Speaker 18: it works into all levels of organization of our nation. 787 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 2: These reports, your third one, now that you're handing to 788 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 2: Minister Costello, her eyes bulging out of her head yet 789 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 2: or did she sort of know this anyway? 790 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 18: A bit of both. I think for anyone, anyone who's 791 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 18: been doing this a long time, you expect the problem 792 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 18: to be bad. Minister Castelle obviously had a long career 793 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 18: in the police, and so she knows some of the 794 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 18: depth of the problem. But I think either for myself 795 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 18: as a prosecutor for two decades, even I'm surprised at 796 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 18: some of the stories we are hearing and the gravity 797 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 18: of the problem as it is now. 798 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 2: All right, sobering, good to maybe on we'll get you 799 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 2: on for a report. Number four Steve Simon, chair of 800 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 2: the Ministerial Advisory Group. Could be the education feedbacks piling 801 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: and we'll have some of that shortly, but we need 802 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 2: to get to tourism. Another announcement, many more millions into 803 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 2: it yesterday to try and get us back to where 804 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 2: we once were. Give you the detail shortly fourteen past. 805 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: The mi Casking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 806 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: by News Talks at. 807 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 2: B Mark Robinson out of Rugby after seven point thirty, 808 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 2: Seawn Johnson, now of Legue after eight to sixteen past 809 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 2: seven more money for tourism. Of course, we've got another 810 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 2: thirteen and a half million. This will target visitors from Australia, 811 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 2: the US and China. They're wanting seventy two thousand visitors 812 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 2: in return for the thirteen and a half million, and 813 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 2: they're thinking three hundred million dollars in spending. So those 814 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: numbers add up. Grant Webster is the boss of course 815 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 2: of tourism, holdings back with us. Grant morning to you, 816 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: good morning. So this is the second tranch they've announced. 817 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: Are you liking what you're seeing. Is this the way 818 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 2: to go? 819 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 13: Oh one hundred percent. Look, this is the most ambitious 820 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 13: government we've had from a tourism perspective for probably, you know, 821 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 13: eight years. So yeah, we're really buoyed by the opportunity 822 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 13: to help grow the economy. 823 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 2: It's going to go to spend. Will they come? 824 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 13: I think absolutely. I think we've got to remember, I 825 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 13: think I've said this to you before. We're very, very 826 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 13: competitive on a global basis. Right We've got to keep 827 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 13: up with Australia that's got more air capacity, that's looking 828 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 13: really cheap right now. And here's a good marketing proposition 829 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 13: as well. So we need to spend to keep up. 830 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 2: And do the numbers add up? If you spend thirteen 831 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 2: and a half million on seventy two thousand people, do 832 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,840 Speaker 2: they spend three hundred million dollars? 833 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,400 Speaker 13: Look, I think on the dollar pervis that has spent. Absolutely, 834 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 13: we're seeing that trend and that's the right way to go. 835 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 13: The question is can we get enough air capacity into 836 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 13: New Zealand textually those number of people through And the 837 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 13: answer is should be able to. It's looking tight for 838 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 13: the next twelve months, so that's probably something else we 839 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 13: need the government to help look at again overseas, Australia's 840 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 13: investing tremendous amounts of money getting new capacity in new 841 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 13: ecpacity equals great. 842 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, do we have a regionality problem that you've got 843 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 2: some sort of magic answer to. I mean, Queenstown's booming 844 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,400 Speaker 2: the sum of the rest of the country isn't What 845 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,800 Speaker 2: do we do about that or do we need to 846 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 2: do anything at all? Or it is what it is. 847 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 13: Look, it is what it is to an extent. But 848 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 13: the market will rectify that, right so that the airlines 849 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 13: will move to the different regions. The marketing will push 850 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 13: to the different regions. You've got the North Island initiative 851 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 13: where a number of the regions are coming together, so 852 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 13: that the market will make that shift. I'm quite confident 853 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 13: that over a short period of. 854 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 2: Time, good are you bullish? 855 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 13: Generally for Australia and New Zealand, tourisms. 856 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 2: Lifetimes, travel, aeroplanes, people spend the whole kit kabool. 857 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 13: They want to Absolutely, people still want to. Right, we 858 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,439 Speaker 13: have still got a COVID hangover where we're not even 859 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 13: back to one hundred percent of the visitor numbers that 860 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 13: we had pre COVID. We will get there. It's a 861 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 13: growth opportunity for the economy. 862 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 2: Good stuff, grump, nice to have you on the programs. 863 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 2: Almost grant Webster tourism holdings with us this morning.

Our results are not world leading. 870 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 2: I think you're missing the point there. She's been in 871 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,920 Speaker 2: charge for a year and a half, picked up a mess, 872 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 2: and in a year and a half is turning things round. 873 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 2: The results aren't in yet, they will be if we're 874 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 2: on the right track. We're watching it evolve. I think 875 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 2: that's the key to it all. Seven twenty. 876 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,919 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power 877 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: by News Talks Evy. 878 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 2: If you're a business leader, you're well aware of how 879 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 2: importantly successful response to a potential customer's request for a 880 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 2: proposal is to your future success of your business.

The problem with committing to things that may 901 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 2: well come back to haunt you is down the track. 902 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 2: At some point the mistake starts to hit you in 903 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 2: the face of bit and some hard decisions are required. 904 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 2: Now my sense of it, as we've become too reliant 905 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,399 Speaker 2: on pine trees to meet Paris as in the a court. 906 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 2: Now the sheep farmers you might have noticed this week, 907 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 2: have worked that out as the protests around land conversion 908 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 2: are once again been reignited, with posters up around the 909 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 2: countryside put up by the meat and woolfolk, with the 910 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 2: line on the posters saying I am not the problem. 911 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 2: Since nineteen eighty two. Here's some fun facts for you. 912 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,439 Speaker 2: Since nineteen eighty two, we've gone from seventy million sheep 913 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 2: to twenty five. In the last seven years a quarter 914 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 2: of a million hectares have been swapped from sheep to trees. This, 915 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 2: of course, was always going to happen. What's the easiest way? 916 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 2: Ask yourself, what's the easiest way to meet a target 917 00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 2: on carbon trees? Cutting and slashing, whether it's farm production 918 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 2: or the economy in general, was never going to be palatable. 919 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 2: So trees were easy. But you might have noticed. A 920 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 2: couple of major things have happened. One, Paris looks increasingly 921 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 2: shaking in terms of people meeting targets, indeed people even 922 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 2: being interested in meeting targets. And two, stuff grown on 923 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 2: the land with legs is fetching very, very very good 924 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 2: money all over the world. At the moment, as far 925 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 2: as us earning a living goes, we have never made 926 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,959 Speaker 2: more from farming. Carbon offsetting, which is what planting trees 927 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 2: is called, has restrictions. In other countries. They only let 928 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 2: you do it to a limited degree. Here you can 929 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 2: do it as much as you want, but I bet 930 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 2: you anything you want. Other countries aren't as reliant on 931 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 2: sheep and cows as we are. We used to have tourism, 932 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 2: as you've just heard, We used to have tourism back 933 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 2: us up. But last week's numbers tell a very sad story. 934 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 2: Dairy twenty billion, tourism twelve awful comes in at nine. 935 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 2: For God's sake, tourism used to vie for first place. 936 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 2: Hence the government, as we've just mentioned, through another thirteen 937 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 2: millionaire it yesterday to try and attrack these seventy thousand people. 938 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 2: Trees also kill communities. Farming as life a forest isn't 939 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 2: as laudable as Paris was all those years ago. If 940 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 2: we had thought about it, if we'd been less evangelical, 941 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 2: we might have stopped to think just what it was 942 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: we were asking of a small economy. And the simple 943 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 2: truth is we were asking so much. A quick short 944 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,200 Speaker 2: cut like trees was always going to be adopted with alacrity. 945 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 2: Saving the planet as people get tossed off the land 946 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 2: is not an equation we should be proud of. As 947 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 2: the protest poster says with a photo of the sheep 948 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 2: on it, I am not the problem, and they're right. 949 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 2: The zalots are pasking I lived in Auckland or my life, Mike, 950 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 2: it's turned into a you know what hole. I want 951 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 2: to move to Central Otarga to get as far away 952 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 2: as I can. We'll do it. Go get into it, 953 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 2: life short, Mike. These regional average incomes surprise me. They are, 954 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 2: as you say, very good. I wonder how many of 955 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 2: those work remotely or commute back to Auckland based businesses. 956 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 2: Doesn't really matter. You earn what you earn, isn't it, Mike? 957 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 2: Where are you getting these numbers from? I knew that 958 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 2: would happen where are you getting these numbers from? Heaven forbid? 959 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: We present So I'm getting the numbers from envy, from 960 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 2: the ministry, from the government. These are people who pay 961 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 2: out the numbers. They don't make the numbers up. And 962 00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 2: you're giving me most of my friends, I know it. 963 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 2: Don't give me the most of my friends. Some of 964 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 2: us know some people, some of us know other people. 965 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 2: Averages or averages, those are the averages. There's no reason 966 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,759 Speaker 2: to disbelieve that Mike teachers pay great news to hear 967 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 2: teachers have been recognized for the work they do. It's 968 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 2: definitely not nine to three, many work weekends as well 969 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 2: more children with diverse needs and low support from outside agencies. No, 970 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 2: there's no question about that teachers work exceedingly hard. I'm 971 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,360 Speaker 2: on the losing side of the argument that great teachers 972 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 2: have always been great, and they deserve much, much, much 973 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,239 Speaker 2: more money than they actually get, and some of the 974 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 2: poor teachers don't deserve as much. But that whole you know, 975 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 2: you earn what you pay, and you pay what you 976 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 2: earn argument seems to have been lost as the union 977 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 2: swamp us all with a one size fits all model. 978 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 2: Mark Robinson he has decided after six or seven years. 979 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 2: He's off to Australia and his time at the New 980 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 2: Zealand Rugby Union is over as of the end of 981 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 2: this year.

Very good morning to you boy. 996 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:35,879 Speaker 17: Mike. 997 00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 2: Was there a moment or has it sort of been 998 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 2: building to this? 999 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,240 Speaker 8: I think it is, I said yesterday, with the family 1000 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 8: being based in Australia now for the last few months, probably. 1001 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 16: In the last one or two months. 1002 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 8: Certainly turn of mind to thinking about dealing with him 1003 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 8: more and and then that combined with when I look 1004 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,359 Speaker 8: ahead at the role, these next six months are really 1005 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 8: critical for the role on the international stage and domestically, 1006 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 8: we have the opportunity to reset our financial model here 1007 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 8: in New Zealand we've talked a lot about over the 1008 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 8: last few years, and then we're heavily involved in the 1009 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,200 Speaker 8: establishment of the international calendars and competitions. So I'd love 1010 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 8: to think that by the end of the year those 1011 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 8: two things to sign off. And I just feel that 1012 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,359 Speaker 8: the combination of those things, two things together might mean 1013 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 8: it's time to move. 1014 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, how did your family end up in Australia. I 1015 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 2: don't want to get to a person. I'm just interested, 1016 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 2: that's all because it's been a thing. It's been a 1017 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,760 Speaker 2: theme in this country, hasn't it, People moving offshore? 1018 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 19: It does seem to be. 1019 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, well, look, you know, my eldest went off to 1020 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 8: university there not long ago, and then my second ended 1021 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 8: up the inn. Our youngest and my wife have ended 1022 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 8: up there. I don't want to get into too much details. 1023 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 8: So essentially, yeah, it's a combination really of education and 1024 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 8: opportunities and. 1025 00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 13: Lifestyle. 1026 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 8: I suppose as it relates to my kids and wife and. 1027 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 2: Seeing them. 1028 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 8: You know, I'm only seeing them every four to five 1029 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 8: weeks at the moment, that's suboptimal in terms of, you know, 1030 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 8: how we want to live our family life. So I'm 1031 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 8: looking forward to being with them full time from sort 1032 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 8: of January Februy onwards. 1033 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 2: Have you got a plan? 1034 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 8: No, Look, I'm really I really focused on what the 1035 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 8: next six months has for us, and it's an incredible 1036 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 8: opportunity for the game here and internationally. I dare say, 1037 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 8: you know, when the time gets closer to the end 1038 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 8: of the year, I might open my mind a bit 1039 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 8: more to it. There's yeah, they sent me in the 1040 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 8: last twenty four hours. Been overwhelmed by the messages that 1041 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,960 Speaker 8: have come in, you know, internationally and from different parts 1042 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 8: of the world, and you know, some of those may 1043 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 8: lead to things or not, but at the moment I'm 1044 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 8: not too worried about that. 1045 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 2: That's nice. So we've talked twice, I figured in the 1046 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 2: last month. Once was on sponsorship and once was on 1047 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 2: you guys losing money. What's that tell us about our 1048 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:04,280 Speaker 2: time under you, I think. 1049 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,200 Speaker 8: A desire to acknowledge that the game needed change and 1050 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 8: to work really hard towards implementing that change. And the 1051 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 8: change was centered largely on the game modernizing and being 1052 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 8: more focused on the fans, more focused on participants as 1053 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 8: it relates to community, and trying to rapidly adapt the 1054 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,800 Speaker 8: sport while keeping one foot I guess in the legacy 1055 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 8: and history of the game and the things that we 1056 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 8: all love about our sport that have made it so 1057 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 8: special here, but acknowledging we simply have to evolve as 1058 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:43,479 Speaker 8: a modern sporting organization and code for that matter. And look, 1059 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 8: some of that stuff's gone, you know really well, Mike, 1060 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 8: and I'm Trudi to be proud about it. Some of 1061 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 8: it certainly had challenges in terms of working through those 1062 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,839 Speaker 8: processes because we were looking to change so rapidly. And 1063 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 8: I think the other thing I'd probably add to that 1064 00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 8: was the COVID time. I reflected yesterday with p I'm 1065 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 8: just so incredibly proud as I look back and think 1066 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 8: about how we got through that as probably one of 1067 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,840 Speaker 8: the most lockdown countries in the world where sport and 1068 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 8: entertainment was affected massively and we've come through that with 1069 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 8: really impressive revenue growth. We've invested in all levels of 1070 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 8: the game. We've led the world in a number of 1071 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 8: different areas as it relates to player welfare and brain 1072 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 8: and concussion research. We've led conversations on international calendars, and 1073 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 8: we've seen, you know, right through to the community game. 1074 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 8: We've started to see the progress of participation numbers coming 1075 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 8: right up, and we've led there as well as it 1076 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 8: relates to four match trials. The need to really be 1077 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,400 Speaker 8: progressive in that space too. So, you know, all of 1078 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 8: those things I'm incredibly proud of, and you know, I 1079 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 8: just want to make sure I stay focused on this 1080 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,839 Speaker 8: next six months because hopefully I can look back then 1081 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 8: with a couple of other big projects tacked off. 1082 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 2: There's two ways of looking at the COVID period. One, 1083 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 2: you dealt with what you were, you know, handed, and 1084 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 2: you handled it. You would argue, well, the other way 1085 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 2: to look at it, did it have to be as 1086 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 2: restrictive as it was? And therefore were you hobbled more 1087 00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 2: than you needed to be? 1088 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:14,000 Speaker 8: You mean by the restrictions that were put in place? Yeah, 1089 00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 8: well that's you know, I think there were debate about 1090 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,319 Speaker 8: that for a long long time. We certainly worked with 1091 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,319 Speaker 8: the government as much as we could through that time 1092 00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,359 Speaker 8: to get you know, as much rugby played and as 1093 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 8: much movement of our people into environments where they could play. 1094 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 8: And you know, it's well documented to are reasons why 1095 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,160 Speaker 8: that didn't happen sometimes, but I think we worked the 1096 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 8: best we possibly could with the hand we were dealt. 1097 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 2: The Kirk comments the other day about participation being the 1098 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 2: really big issue for your sport, as you right, just. 1099 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 8: Look at a foundational level in terms of the future 1100 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,879 Speaker 8: of the game. The you know, the more people you've 1101 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 8: got coming in the base of the game and the 1102 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 8: pipeline at the bottom, the more people you've got engaged 1103 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 8: in the sport as potential future for athletes and fans 1104 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 8: of the game. So yes, an absolutely critical level. The 1105 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,080 Speaker 8: more the more people we have actively thinking about the 1106 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 8: game and connected to the better. So it's certainly a 1107 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 8: key plank of our strategy. When we look at our strategy, 1108 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 8: these really three key parts. One is the area that 1109 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 8: David talked about in terms of the base of the 1110 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,280 Speaker 8: pyramid of the game too, is winning on the international stage. 1111 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 8: It drives so much value and free is how we 1112 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 8: think with fans domestically in overseas, because that drives the 1113 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 8: value and the revenue growth that we're starting to see 1114 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 8: at the moment. 1115 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,799 Speaker 2: I've got Crusaders Chiefs in the final, with the Crusaders 1116 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,919 Speaker 2: to win. That about right, you would? 1117 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 8: I mean, I don't like to show my bis is 1118 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 8: too often and these settings might but I look, I 1119 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 8: think it could go either way, and I'll sit on 1120 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 8: the fence again on this one. But I know I 1121 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 8: wouldn't be surprised to see any number of finals mession at. 1122 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,520 Speaker 8: It's in an awesome competition, hasn't it. And I think 1123 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 8: that's another thing where we're proud of we've led, you know, 1124 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 8: the change of the product you know, internationally, and we're 1125 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 8: starting to see that in the last couple of of 1126 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 8: Super Special this year, and we're really proud of what 1127 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,959 Speaker 8: the entertainment factor of the sport looks like at the moment. 1128 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 2: Good stuff, all right, We'll go well and we'll talk 1129 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 2: before you leave. I'm sure. Mark Robinson, the outgoing New 1130 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,480 Speaker 2: Zealand Rugby CEO, in a moment one of the more 1131 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 2: fascinating pieces I've read, probably in several weeks, about how 1132 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 2: the outside see New Zealand. And that's regards Robinson leaving 1133 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 2: for Australia. Not everyone's leaving for Australia. A lot of 1134 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 2: people are coming into New Zealand. So more on that 1135 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 2: in the moment. 1136 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 1: Sixteen two good the Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast 1137 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,760 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News Talks. 1138 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 2: It'd be thirteen away from h so Liz Rolison writes 1139 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 2: for The Daily Telegraph yesterday we swap the UK for 1140 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,520 Speaker 2: New Zealand and feel better off already now. Brits in 1141 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 2: the year to December fifty six hundred Brits arrived in 1142 00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:50,120 Speaker 2: the country, but forty five hundred left, so that's a 1143 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: gain of what eleven hundred and the increase in outbound 1144 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 2: moves this year so far for twenty four which worries me. 1145 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 2: They report a notable shift away. This is John Mason 1146 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 2: International Report, a notable shipped away from Auckland more British 1147 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,480 Speaker 2: migrants choosing Christius Wellington Hamilton. So that's fine. So if 1148 00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 2: we spread people around the country, that's all the better anyway. 1149 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 2: The article focuses on Robert and sabrema Eaton, who came 1150 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,560 Speaker 2: to us from Chippingham and Wiltshire and They landed in 1151 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 2: the Fungi Parah, which is on the mighty High Biscus 1152 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,320 Speaker 2: Coast north of Auckland, and they were on holiday in 1153 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,560 Speaker 2: New Zealand. They liked the scenery, they liked the culture, 1154 00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 2: they liked the people, so they decided to move here. 1155 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,080 Speaker 2: Top tip, don't move here without a job. Many New 1156 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 2: Zealanders have left for Australia's more buoyant job market and 1157 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,479 Speaker 2: the higher wages. But Robert, who works, admits he would 1158 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 2: earn more if he did the same job in Australia. 1159 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,920 Speaker 2: But they weren't as happy there. The life and weather 1160 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 2: are good, but it wasn't welcoming. That's of Australia. So 1161 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,719 Speaker 2: Robert and Sabina did not find New Zealand as affordable 1162 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 2: as they thought. The house prices were a problem. We 1163 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 2: were shocked at how high the house prices were. Renting 1164 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,319 Speaker 2: a four bedroom some twenty five miles forty ks from 1165 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 2: Auckland eight hundred and fifty a week house is worth 1166 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,200 Speaker 2: about one point twenty five million. Robert takes a bus 1167 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 2: to Auckland for work each day. Takes an hour each way. 1168 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 2: It's a long way. Two hours of commuting each and 1169 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 2: every day Sabrina's currently looking for a job in job recruitment, 1170 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 2: but the sense of community is better, so they like it. 1171 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 2: The cost of lipnw here you go. The cost of 1172 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 2: living is lower than in the UK. Groceries are five 1173 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 2: to fifty a month if they shop around. Other monthly 1174 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,720 Speaker 2: costs include broadband of five hundred, fifty to one hundred, water, 1175 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 2: one hundred electricity, one seventy gas, eighty mobile phones, forty 1176 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 2: to sixty five petrols. Cheaper than the UK, as is 1177 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 2: eating out, so all of you don't text me I 1178 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,960 Speaker 2: can buy seven oranges for a five p in London. 1179 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,240 Speaker 2: No you can't. You're making it up. So it's cheaper 1180 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 2: here than it is in Britain. Quick lunch at Auckland 1181 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,759 Speaker 2: costs thirteen to eighteen bucks. Coffee is five bucks. Most 1182 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 2: people they've observed takeout private healthcare, which they get through 1183 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,840 Speaker 2: Robert's job. His role was part of the Tier one greenless, 1184 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,799 Speaker 2: so in other words, high demand. So he comes into 1185 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 2: the country, files the paperwork straight to residency, which is 1186 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 2: good because the job market is not as buoyant. It's 1187 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,040 Speaker 2: important to do your research before arriving and sort out 1188 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,600 Speaker 2: a job and a visa before you go. Salaries have 1189 00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,240 Speaker 2: reached record highs despite the number of listed jobs dropping 1190 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 2: by forty five percent a year ago in Auckland. In 1191 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 2: totality read the whole thing. It's well worth looking up 1192 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 2: in totality. They chose here, they've stayed here, they like 1193 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,719 Speaker 2: it here, and they've got good reasons for thinking they 1194 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 2: make the right choice. So that's uplifting. 1195 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,920 Speaker 1: Tend to weights a make Hosking breakfast with a Vita 1196 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,160 Speaker 1: Retirement Communities News togs Head vs. 1197 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 2: But it's stepping away from more renewable power as coming. 1198 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,600 Speaker 2: Last week it was hunting in batteries. This week it's 1199 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 2: Loadstone Energy and their first soul of farm. It's in Temuka. 1200 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 2: Construction starts later this month or early next. I think 1201 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 2: Gerry Holden's managing director of Loadstones will us Gary morning. 1202 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 19: Good morning, how are you well? 1203 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 2: Thank you? What's your portfolio? You got any solar in there? 1204 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,839 Speaker 2: Alreadio nine. 1205 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,799 Speaker 19: Yeah, this is the South Canterbury site in Clandiboys our 1206 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 19: fifth project and so we were now on the South 1207 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 19: Island and effectively trying to build a solar farm in 1208 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 19: every community that we can and follow the population. You know, 1209 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,480 Speaker 19: have a have a scattering of generation that kind of 1210 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 19: lines up with where the businesses and and and residences. 1211 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 2: Are all solar, all solar. 1212 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 19: Yeah, we we We've got an innovative contract that takes 1213 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 19: that takes a solar from a farm and sells it 1214 00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 19: to a business or or or a property that simulates 1215 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 19: as if those solar panels are on the facility. And 1216 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 19: so we we pretty much feel like there's a kind 1217 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 19: of an open end of how many of these projects. 1218 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:54,000 Speaker 8: We can do. 1219 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 2: Who do you sell to? Do you sell to a retailer? 1220 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 19: We primarily we sell directly to customers. 1221 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,840 Speaker 2: So you're a John Taylor say, we. 1222 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 19: Essentially are a new version of a Gent Taylor that's 1223 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 19: focused on solar and ultimately we'll be adding batteries to 1224 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,800 Speaker 19: our farms to round out the generation. 1225 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 2: That battery thing, so the Huntley I don't know if 1226 00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 2: you're up on, but the Huntly thing last week. So 1227 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,000 Speaker 2: they're going to do these I can't remember the number 1228 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 2: of gigs, I think megah whatever it was. They're going 1229 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 2: to do one hundred and twenty thousand houses by twenty 1230 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 2: thirty five, two major batteries and that will be for 1231 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 2: two hours supply. That struck me as disappointing. A batteries 1232 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 2: really the answer for major storage for long term use 1233 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 2: or not? 1234 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 19: No, I mean they're designed just to shift energy from 1235 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 19: one part of the day to the other, and I 1236 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 19: think I think for Genesis, they're anticipating that, you know, 1237 00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 19: if there ultimately is a solar farm in every community, 1238 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 19: then there will be energy in the afternoon when the 1239 00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 19: sun is shining that you could shift into the evening. 1240 00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 19: So they're just they're just getting a bit ahead of 1241 00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 19: the curve, and it's quite quite a good idea and 1242 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 19: it enables quite a lot of solar to be built. 1243 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,200 Speaker 2: Okay, are you happy with the consent process? Are you 1244 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,280 Speaker 2: able to do business in a way that suits you? 1245 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:18,000 Speaker 19: Yeah, We've we've got six more consented sites actually in 1246 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 19: our portfolio coming and you know, our strategy has been 1247 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 19: to keep them relatively small, have them tuck into communities 1248 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 19: and maybe even behind a hedge row so you can't 1249 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:32,920 Speaker 19: really even see them, and then put sheep underneath and 1250 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 19: keep the productive value of the land going. And so 1251 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,560 Speaker 19: so when you when you approach it from that direction, 1252 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 19: consenting has been really quite a straightforward process. 1253 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,919 Speaker 2: Good stuff, good he Gary, get you on a get 1254 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 2: and carry Holden, who's the Liodstone Energy managing director.

So he's doing that, and he's moving 1264 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,840 Speaker 2: into the media space. So Sean Johnson for it. And 1265 01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 2: he's got to be loving what's going on on the 1266 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 2: field at the moment. For goodness sake.

In his case, 1274 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 2: it's get a television show about the sport you love. 1275 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,400 Speaker 2: Australian television produces things like The Light Show with maybe 1276 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 2: John's of course are n RL three sixty for local flavor. 1277 01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,560 Speaker 2: As of tomorrow night on Sky we will have League 1278 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 2: Lounge in Sewan.

Good to see you. 1279 01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 8: Good morning. 1280 01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:00,880 Speaker 2: Now, first of all, the talk about the team before 1281 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:02,760 Speaker 2: we talk about you the team this year, you've got 1282 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 2: to be thoroughly enjoying what's unfolding. 1283 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 21: Yeah, it certainly makes creating a league show midweek a 1284 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 21: little bit easier when the local team is doing their 1285 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 21: part and in building the hype around our game, you know, 1286 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,720 Speaker 21: like it's a I feel like the growth of Rugular 1287 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 21: League over the last maybe three four years or maybe 1288 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,040 Speaker 21: since we returned from COVID has just been on a 1289 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 21: rapid rise, and what the boys are doing this year 1290 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,800 Speaker 21: is just doubling down on that. So really really good 1291 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 21: to see and really enjoyable to watch. 1292 01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 2: Can you succinctly explain what's happened? 1293 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 8: Is it? 1294 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 2: Webster? Is it a combination of things that all of 1295 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 2: the potential you guys have had for seemingly ever, has 1296 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 2: now seemingly come to fruition on the field. 1297 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 15: Well, I don't know. 1298 01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 21: I feel like our twenty three season was pretty special. 1299 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 21: Now you can quickly forget about that, I guess in 1300 01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 21: the months in the midst of history, you know, with 1301 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 21: what you're seeing from the boys right now. But this 1302 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,160 Speaker 21: hasn't been like an off season thing. This has been 1303 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 21: Webby has been at the Helm now for his third season, 1304 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 21: and he is really starting to implement the things he 1305 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,800 Speaker 21: believes in and the style he wants to play. 1306 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 17: Now. 1307 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,200 Speaker 21: It's not just one thing, but I generally think Webby's 1308 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 21: at the head of it. I think he is slowly 1309 01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:24,040 Speaker 21: filtering down throughout the whole club his philosophy, his energy, 1310 01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,360 Speaker 21: the way he approaches the game, and what he believes 1311 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:28,160 Speaker 21: wins footy games. 1312 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,720 Speaker 2: So he has a special something about him. Do you 1313 01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 2: see that there are certain people have this sort of 1314 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,400 Speaker 2: a genus, acquire a vibe about them that's a bit different. 1315 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 2: He's like that. 1316 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:42,160 Speaker 21: Yered percent I've been his biggest advocate for him being 1317 01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 21: a people's first coach as opposed to a rugby league 1318 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 21: first coach. I think he values the importance of team 1319 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 21: chemistry and culture as much as he does skill work 1320 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 21: or fitness, and I don't know if a lot of 1321 01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,960 Speaker 21: coaches out there do. So he's got that. He's got 1322 01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 21: that straight away, and then he's built a roster with 1323 01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:06,640 Speaker 21: you know, other people involved with the club that like 1324 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,560 Speaker 21: have got this depth to the group. You know, we've 1325 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,640 Speaker 21: seen that with certain boys missing out or injuries and 1326 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 21: people just being next manned up mentality and going out 1327 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 21: there and getting it done. 1328 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 2: A game we play where significant names haven't been missing 1329 01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 2: and therefore we still win. 1330 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:21,560 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1331 01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 21: Yeah, it's a special it's a special trait to have, 1332 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,360 Speaker 21: and it's going to take you a long season. 1333 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,800 Speaker 2: So the controversial question I have for you this morning, 1334 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 2: Shawn Johnson, is your replacement Metcalf cannot kick. He's at 1335 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,600 Speaker 2: sixty ish percent and there will be a point in 1336 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,040 Speaker 2: the season where where you've left six on the table 1337 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,800 Speaker 2: and you needed them. What do you do? 1338 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,919 Speaker 21: I think, my honesty, I think you persist because he's 1339 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 21: the best kicker in the club. It's that simple, right, 1340 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 21: He's the best kicker in the club. And I think 1341 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 21: if there's a game to be one I always resorted 1342 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 21: back to that, like what game this year needed to 1343 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:05,720 Speaker 21: be one. He stepped up from fifty meters out and 1344 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 21: slotted it. Yeah, okay, So that all these reps he's 1345 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,880 Speaker 21: currently going through, and this is the bit that people 1346 01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:15,200 Speaker 21: at home probably miss is he hasn't been a first 1347 01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 21: grade kicker where he's had the goal kick off the 1348 01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,400 Speaker 21: back of doing eighty percent of the general play kicking. 1349 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 19: Right. 1350 01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 21: You know, he's been a six the last three years 1351 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,400 Speaker 21: where he's kicked the ball three times during the game. 1352 01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 2: So it'll get better. 1353 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 21: It'll get better one hundred percent get better, and it 1354 01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,960 Speaker 21: gets better through in game reps, not practice. Practice helps. 1355 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 21: Practice is important, but in game reps is where he 1356 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,840 Speaker 21: is going to bank, and then comes the back end 1357 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 21: of the year he's going to deliver. 1358 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:38,800 Speaker 13: I know it. 1359 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,320 Speaker 2: I hope you're right because I saw it two games 1360 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 2: ago where he because most tries and league I suddenly 1361 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,400 Speaker 2: thought about this the other day because it's been perplexing me. 1362 01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 2: Most tries and legua rout on the wing, aren't they 1363 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 2: You're very rare to see someone go right up in 1364 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,280 Speaker 2: the middle and you can yeah the place, so you're 1365 01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 2: out in the side. And then two games ago he 1366 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 2: started to turn it and you could see him turning 1367 01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 2: it in and it's it's it's coming. So maybe you're right. 1368 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,840 Speaker 21: This is so good because this is exactly what I 1369 01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:04,360 Speaker 21: want to do on the League lounge there you go. 1370 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,960 Speaker 21: It's crazy, you know. I want to speak, you know, 1371 01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 21: to what you're feeling, what you're seeing. I want to 1372 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 21: speak to what maybe your audience is feeling and seeing 1373 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 21: from the game. You know, I want to help educate 1374 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,120 Speaker 21: so that maybe our takes on that and how we 1375 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 21: talk about these players is slightly adjusted, you know, I 1376 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,760 Speaker 21: think it's important. So just having that conversation right there 1377 01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 21: with you is exactly. 1378 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 2: How do you deal with well, I mean, you've got 1379 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,040 Speaker 2: a lot of haters in general and sport, haven't you, 1380 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,520 Speaker 2: Or you've got a lot of ignorant and or haters. 1381 01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:30,400 Speaker 2: How do you deal with that? 1382 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 21: Education? Education? I feel like, you know, say, say someone 1383 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,920 Speaker 21: just listened to what you just said around Luke Metcalff 1384 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,080 Speaker 21: can't kick, And I wasn't here to maybe put a 1385 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 21: little bit of context on that. Correct, they go to 1386 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 21: the work site or their workplace and go, ah, Luke 1387 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 21: Metcalff can't kick. Because your word is valuable, right, You're 1388 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,320 Speaker 21: trusted in the space. Yes, So if I can help 1389 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 21: offer a bit of perspective and to maybe what's going 1390 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 21: on with that. It's not an excuse, but it just 1391 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 21: might buy a bit of time to start seeing these 1392 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,959 Speaker 21: results now. At points in my career, I was kicking 1393 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 21: at sixty percent, right, But I had a feeling by 1394 01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:10,320 Speaker 21: the end of my career, if there's a kick to 1395 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,320 Speaker 21: win the game, who did people want to take it? 1396 01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 13: You? 1397 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 2: So, but you've got about Well, let me give you 1398 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 2: a piece of advice as a broadcaster, and that is 1399 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 2: you don't want to be an apologist for the team 1400 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,280 Speaker 2: that you will once with. Nah, so you've got your gas. 1401 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 2: You've got to strike that balance, Yeah, between correcting me 1402 01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 2: and then being an apologist for the Warriors, because there 1403 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:32,680 Speaker 2: were sometimes where they need to kick up. 1404 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 21: The Yeah, one hundred percent, And if that's the case, 1405 01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 21: I will give it to them, But I still feel 1406 01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 21: like I can give it to them in a different light, 1407 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 21: you know what I mean. So, yeah, that's that's essentially 1408 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,920 Speaker 21: what the League Lounge is going to be, you know, entertaining, 1409 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,320 Speaker 21: but educational and offer insight and some of the guests 1410 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 21: will you know, will have on the couch along with me. 1411 01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 21: I don't think people will have seen them in that way. 1412 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,959 Speaker 21: So the whole package. Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna 1413 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,240 Speaker 21: be a cool it's gonna be a cool thing to 1414 01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:58,120 Speaker 21: I guess be a part of. 1415 01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,520 Speaker 2: More on this in a moment.

I have to 1427 01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,920 Speaker 21: know it's a true reflection, you know, of me as 1428 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 21: a person, and Sky have come well and truly to 1429 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 21: the party with allowing me to do that. It's been 1430 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,880 Speaker 21: a collaborative process, which is unusual. Usually it's what the 1431 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 21: old traditional method of Sky produce a show. Higher talent 1432 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 21: just do it. But nah, this was this was a 1433 01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,920 Speaker 21: little bit different and I'm keen to show and I think, well, 1434 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 21: I hope people at home when they tune in will 1435 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,720 Speaker 21: feel that straight away, even just from the intro, the 1436 01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:57,400 Speaker 21: sound of the intro, the look of the set, everything 1437 01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,439 Speaker 21: will just feel a little bit different to I guess 1438 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 21: maybe what you're usually going to see on Sky. 1439 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 2: Have you got any sense whether you're any good? 1440 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,480 Speaker 21: No? No, No, that'll be That'll be a work in progress, 1441 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 21: day to day, week to week. No, I'm not trying. 1442 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 21: I know it's the Lea, the League Lounge of Seann Johnson, 1443 01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,680 Speaker 21: and I am the host, but I don't think I'm 1444 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 21: going to be your traditional hosts that you see. I'm 1445 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:19,720 Speaker 21: a little bit on edge about that, but I think 1446 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:21,160 Speaker 21: it's going to be fun and I'll just continue to 1447 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:21,960 Speaker 21: be me while doing it. 1448 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 2: Are you self critical? Are you good at that sort 1449 01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:24,080 Speaker 2: of thing? 1450 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:24,360 Speaker 4: Oh? 1451 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 21: Yeah, on my on My biggest critic I was when 1452 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,679 Speaker 21: I was playing often I'd have all this outside noise 1453 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,639 Speaker 21: and none of it really mattered because my own opinion 1454 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,879 Speaker 21: was in the opinion of my teammates, you know, was important. 1455 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,360 Speaker 21: So it's the same now. My own opinion of my 1456 01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 21: performance as a host and the opinion of the people 1457 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 21: under that Sky banner are important. So yeah, it's gonna 1458 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 21: gonna review performance. I'm going to continue to look to 1459 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 21: improve and continue just to just be myself is going 1460 01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:52,040 Speaker 21: to be the main one. 1461 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the plan when you retired? What was 1462 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,400 Speaker 2: the plan post league? 1463 01:08:57,240 --> 01:08:57,800 Speaker 17: Post league? 1464 01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:02,080 Speaker 21: Was I I always liked the media space, you know. 1465 01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 21: I always had an opinion on how things were done 1466 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 21: or what was missing. Now did I think I was 1467 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 21: going to have my own show this early? 1468 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:10,840 Speaker 2: No way. 1469 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 21: But I've found just by being myself and offering my 1470 01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:18,439 Speaker 21: takes and perspective and insights that it's been received really well. 1471 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:22,519 Speaker 21: And I said earlier, I've actually probably got more positive 1472 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 21: feedback since I've retired than I did throughout my playing career, 1473 01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 21: which is pretty pretty crazy. I feel generally more loved 1474 01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 21: right now, which is a nice feeling. I'm certainly certainly 1475 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:36,760 Speaker 21: appreciative of that than when I was playing. So that's 1476 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,880 Speaker 21: a space I feel passionate about, you know, And that 1477 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 21: was always in the back of my mind when I retired. 1478 01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 2: How much, because you're only in mid thies, thirty four 1479 01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 2: years old, you've got a lot of life still to 1480 01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,640 Speaker 2: do stuff. How much thought during your time did you 1481 01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,160 Speaker 2: give to what might. 1482 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 21: Be Yeah, a lot, a lot and I encourage I 1483 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 21: encourage players you know currently you know, thinking about retirement, 1484 01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 21: to start implementing a few things that will just sort 1485 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:00,719 Speaker 21: of get you out of be at each hey, because 1486 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,559 Speaker 21: there's a lot of horror stories around X players retiring 1487 01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 21: and the struggles and the battles they go through. But 1488 01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,280 Speaker 21: maybe what made this a little bit smoother was the 1489 01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 21: fact it was my choice, my decision. I didn't get 1490 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 21: forced out, and I wanted to do it on my 1491 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 21: own terms. So I had to have, you know, one 1492 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:17,680 Speaker 21: or two things in place just to get me up 1493 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 21: every day, to offer myself some sort of structure, because 1494 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 21: stepping out of that space where you've had that the 1495 01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,000 Speaker 21: last ten to fifteen years can be pretty daunting. And 1496 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 21: no regrets, No regrets, man, No regrets. Look, I love 1497 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 21: watching the boys, and I am I a little bit 1498 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,320 Speaker 21: jealous at times around seeing you know them when one 1499 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,479 Speaker 21: hundred percent I don't know if that'll ever leave. But 1500 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:39,519 Speaker 21: I'm very much aware that what we see for eighty 1501 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 21: minutes is the tip of the iceberg, right and everything 1502 01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 21: underneath that is essentially what I wasn't prepared to do anymore. 1503 01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 21: So Nah, I no regrets loving what I'm doing and 1504 01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 21: I'm really excited about this next unity. 1505 01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 2: With the bigest Do you want to be? How involved 1506 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 2: I've seen you, like in Vegas, you were going across 1507 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,839 Speaker 2: the Vegas at the start of the season, all that stuff. 1508 01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,400 Speaker 2: How involved with the team are you still? 1509 01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 8: Not? Not? 1510 01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 21: Very not very not not from a performance standpoint.

Luki met 1513 01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,320 Speaker 21: something I had a lot to do with over the 1514 01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 21: last few years, and I'm still very much a soundboard 1515 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,439 Speaker 21: firm if he needs it. But god damn no, none 1516 01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:19,920 Speaker 21: of them need me. Look at the way they're going. 1517 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,280 Speaker 2: It's like, but do you see yourself in the game 1518 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 2: at some point in the future? 1519 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:26,799 Speaker 7: Oh? 1520 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 21: Man, Look, I'd never say never.

That might just help 1525 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,680 Speaker 21: them navigate what they're about to feel sure, I am 1526 01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,920 Speaker 21: passionate about that. I've got some things. I'm working on, 1527 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 21: some other things away from media and the league lounge 1528 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,439 Speaker 21: that might help me deliver that.

I won't raise it with 1583 01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:10,639 Speaker 2: Rod because he won't know anything about it because it's 1584 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,599 Speaker 2: to do with cars. He's a trained man. But the 1585 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 2: production of cars? What was that car I was talking 1586 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 2: to you about before? The byd? 1587 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 15: The ying yang, the wang yang, the wang ya wwangyang 1588 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:21,840 Speaker 15: yun byd. 1589 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:26,120 Speaker 2: So anyway, so laughing, don't laugh I'm not laughing the. 1590 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:29,679 Speaker 15: So it seems like you're laughing. 1591 01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:30,760 Speaker 2: What are you laughing at? 1592 01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:31,320 Speaker 15: The wang yang? 1593 01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 2: The wang yang hang on. I'll write it down so 1594 01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,720 Speaker 2: I don't forget the Wang Yang U nine. I'll come 1595 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,880 Speaker 2: back to that at time. So anyway, production of cars 1596 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,360 Speaker 2: in the UK has fallen off a cliff, lowest April 1597 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,719 Speaker 2: output for more than seventy years. This is all the business, 1598 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:47,040 Speaker 2: apart from anything of the tariffs and the concerns around it. 1599 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,799 Speaker 2: Fifty nine two hundred and three cars were produced in 1600 01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:54,400 Speaker 2: England for that month, sixteen percent lower than the same 1601 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:58,160 Speaker 2: month last year, twenty five percent lower than March, and 1602 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,560 Speaker 2: the lowest April since it's nineteen fifty two. Now, in 1603 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 2: nineteen fifty two, when they produce fifty three, five hundred 1604 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,320 Speaker 2: and eighteen cars, imagine what the population of Britain in 1605 01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,160 Speaker 2: the world was. It was infantesimally smaller. Therefore, you know 1606 01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 2: when I've had a population, So the car industry is 1607 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:15,280 Speaker 2: an absolute tumor. 1608 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,959 Speaker 15: Well, it's small correction, it's not. It's not the Wangyang. 1609 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,400 Speaker 15: That'd be a ridiculous name. It's the yang Wang. 1610 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,400 Speaker 2: It's the yang Wang, the byd yang Wang. 1611 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:29,320 Speaker 1: Use opinion and everything in between. The mic Hosking Breakfast 1612 01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:33,720 Speaker 1: with Bailey's real Estate, your local experts across residential, commercial 1613 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,280 Speaker 1: and rural news talks dead be. 1614 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 2: Just to wrap up the yang Wang talk. So the 1615 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,000 Speaker 2: reason I was Seemi looking at this thing is b 1616 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,360 Speaker 2: why I've got a whole thing. I'll probably do it tomorrow. 1617 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:50,200 Speaker 2: But there's a car for sale in Europe by BYD 1618 01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 2: which is called the Seagull, and it costs next to nothing. 1619 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 2: It's just like it's literally a throwaway car. But at 1620 01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 2: the other end of the spectrum, I don't know what 1621 01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:00,519 Speaker 2: the yang Wang costs. But my point is this, it's 1622 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,880 Speaker 2: a super it's a supercar. It's a super looking car, 1623 01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:04,519 Speaker 2: looks like a you know, pick a car and aston, 1624 01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:06,680 Speaker 2: a Lambeau, whatever you want. It's one of those sort 1625 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 2: of cars you cannot put into the marketplace. Something called 1626 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 2: yang wing. You cannot if you. 1627 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,640 Speaker 11: Expect it means look up, I couldn't care less what 1628 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:20,640 Speaker 11: it means. I couldn't get I couldn't care less what 1629 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,240 Speaker 11: it means. See there, if you look at it, the 1630 01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 11: Ferrari pure Sangue, you go, what does that mean?

But pure sang it rolls. 1632 01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:33,679 Speaker 11: Yang Wing doesn't wrong. 1633 01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,960 Speaker 2: You can't expect people to pay big bucks for a 1634 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 2: car that sounds it's. 1635 01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:38,400 Speaker 15: Only three hundred ninety thousand. 1636 01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 2: Zealand it's a lot of money, Glenn. We're not all 1637 01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,120 Speaker 2: doing as well as you stop being out of touch 1638 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,880 Speaker 2: with the people. The and so now you're telling me 1639 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:46,959 Speaker 2: it jumps over potholes. 1640 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 15: Yeah, literally senses obstacles. 1641 01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:53,800 Speaker 2: It sensors the obstacle and ejects itself above it. Yep, 1642 01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 2: it yang wings itself over. 1643 01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:59,599 Speaker 15: The hazard style rubbish. I've just been watching a video 1644 01:16:59,640 --> 01:16:59,800 Speaker 15: of it. 1645 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:01,720 Speaker 2: Do so all right, So I'm going to look up 1646 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:03,560 Speaker 2: the gang wing. I'm saving for one of these is 1647 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 2: three und ninety thousand dollars. 1648 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,280 Speaker 15: What I don't understand is why they have forgone the 1649 01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:10,320 Speaker 15: whole sort of marine theme with the naming, because you 1650 01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,120 Speaker 15: know it's what because you had your seal, I understand 1651 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:17,200 Speaker 15: the dolphin, the seagull, the shark, and now I suddenly 1652 01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 15: it's look up. 1653 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,920 Speaker 2: Why don't they call it the byd you know, a 1654 01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:26,840 Speaker 2: porpoise twenty two minutes away from. 1655 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 4: Now international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1656 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:32,440 Speaker 4: mind for New Zealand. 1657 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 2: Business anyway in the UK rod morning to you mate, 1658 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 2: Good morning to your mate. So they got there on 1659 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,080 Speaker 2: the end and they solved the problem. I mean, the 1660 01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,439 Speaker 2: winter payment seventy five percent of people get it if 1661 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:43,560 Speaker 2: you earn what is it, thirty five thousand quid or 1662 01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,559 Speaker 2: whatever it is is, But is this a win or what? 1663 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,920 Speaker 17: No, it's it's it's kind of mitigating a defeat. And 1664 01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 17: I don't think it adds up to an awful lot. 1665 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:57,240 Speaker 17: It's actually that's Rachel Reeves pointedly refused to apologize for 1666 01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:02,439 Speaker 17: having imposed the cut of the first place. So they lose, 1667 01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 17: as I've mentioned before, you know, they lose from having 1668 01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 17: introduced the scrapping of winter fuel payments. Don't really get 1669 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:16,439 Speaker 17: that much back from then reintroducing them. Partially, it's still 1670 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:20,040 Speaker 17: thought of very darkly by the left of the Labor 1671 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,639 Speaker 17: Party and also by an awful lot of those voters 1672 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 17: in the red wall in the north of the country. 1673 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,439 Speaker 2: Is there any sophistication in the mechanism, because it's always 1674 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:31,160 Speaker 2: explained in this country that means testing is very difficult 1675 01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,519 Speaker 2: to administer. So with an annual income of thirty five 1676 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,400 Speaker 2: pounds or this, do they know who they are, whether 1677 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 2: they're getting ripped off and whether this is a sufficient 1678 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,120 Speaker 2: way to do it, or they're just handing it out 1679 01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:42,240 Speaker 2: and hoping the problem goes away. 1680 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 17: No, that was always the issue. Mike to be honest, 1681 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:49,719 Speaker 17: which was and in truth it is a good argument, 1682 01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:55,000 Speaker 17: which is that yes, winter fuel payments clearly should be 1683 01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 17: means tested. I mean we get them, you know, I 1684 01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:04,880 Speaker 17: get them, but the means of doing so is so convoluted, 1685 01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:10,200 Speaker 17: so expensive, so time consuming, that it's cheaper to pay 1686 01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:11,280 Speaker 17: the whole country. 1687 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,160 Speaker 2: The talks, I haven't got any detail out of them yet, 1688 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 2: and I don't know any details actually come out, but 1689 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,360 Speaker 2: I'm assuming a chunk of London's lockdown as a whole 1690 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 2: bunch of Chinese and a whole bunch of Americans wander 1691 01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 2: into a room and have a word. 1692 01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,040 Speaker 17: Yes, And we're very proud of this. You know. It 1693 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,400 Speaker 17: puts US at the center of the world stage for 1694 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:32,599 Speaker 17: the talks between the world's two most powerful notions over trade. 1695 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:39,320 Speaker 17: And it's another chance for Sirkire Starma in a way 1696 01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,919 Speaker 17: to say to Europe and the European Medion, look, we're important, 1697 01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,280 Speaker 17: we really matter. We are a bridge between you and 1698 01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 17: the USA, and we are on your side and we're 1699 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:51,360 Speaker 17: on their side as well. You know, you need to 1700 01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:55,479 Speaker 17: recognize that. So it's actually quite a useful it's actually 1701 01:19:55,600 --> 01:20:00,240 Speaker 17: quite a useful contrivance for Starma and for the for 1702 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:04,120 Speaker 17: the government. Generally, I dare say that London will be 1703 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,360 Speaker 17: hellish for the next three days, and one should be 1704 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 17: minded to avoid it. 1705 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:15,040 Speaker 2: In the Frederick Forsyth id something didn't have any money, 1706 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,360 Speaker 2: thought what am I going to do to dig himself 1707 01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 2: out of a whole line now? Or write a book 1708 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:19,439 Speaker 2: that worked out? 1709 01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:19,720 Speaker 8: Or right? 1710 01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:20,520 Speaker 2: Didn't it? 1711 01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:25,719 Speaker 17: It did? Indeed, probably probably one of the world's greatest 1712 01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:31,280 Speaker 17: thriller writers died today, famous for the Day of the 1713 01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 17: Jackal and Viadesaphile particularly a very very acute writer, very 1714 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,960 Speaker 17: very short, terse novels. Day of the Jackal did incredibly well. 1715 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 17: Of course, he worked for me for a bit. I 1716 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 17: employed him to write an essay at the end of 1717 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:56,599 Speaker 17: the Today program every other week, and on the other 1718 01:20:56,600 --> 01:21:01,000 Speaker 17: week it was done by will self and his essays 1719 01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:04,599 Speaker 17: were so staggeringly right wing that he was taken off 1720 01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:09,400 Speaker 17: in the end he was he was. He was very 1721 01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,120 Speaker 17: right of center, indeed, very pro leave and part of 1722 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:17,439 Speaker 17: that generation along with I would guess Alexander Fleming h 1723 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,759 Speaker 17: who who were of the of the far right as writers, 1724 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 17: very few writers on the right these days. He was 1725 01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:27,799 Speaker 17: one of the last. 1726 01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,160 Speaker 2: Right You go, well catch up on Thursday, were a 1727 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 2: little out of Britain just before we leave that part 1728 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 2: of the world. You won't know the name, but ze 1729 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:37,759 Speaker 2: use of who is he? Well, he was the chairman 1730 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:41,120 Speaker 2: of Reform Reformer going gangbusters at the moment the political party. 1731 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,320 Speaker 2: Nigel Faras the leader of course, but he was the chairman. 1732 01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:48,880 Speaker 2: He quit and then he came back. He quit after 1733 01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,280 Speaker 2: saying working to get it elected was no longer a 1734 01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:55,640 Speaker 2: good use of my time, to which he then rescinded that, 1735 01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,920 Speaker 2: and his party spokesman said, Zia regrets what he said 1736 01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,760 Speaker 2: and did the other day. It was a combination of 1737 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:04,240 Speaker 2: eleven months, hard working, exhaust gen So he is back 1738 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,559 Speaker 2: and he's going to introduce what he's calling his version 1739 01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:08,639 Speaker 2: of a Doge team, and they're going to rip into 1740 01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,839 Speaker 2: the British economy and they're going to change the landscape 1741 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,960 Speaker 2: as they see. So that's the Reform Party for You're 1742 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 2: seventeen to two The. 1743 01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:19,680 Speaker 1: Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1744 01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:20,560 Speaker 1: News Talks. 1745 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,519 Speaker 2: At B fourteen Away from nine a Liam Dan a 1746 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 2: good piece yesterday talked to a guy called in the Herald. 1747 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:27,639 Speaker 2: This is he talked to a guy called Cameron Mitchell 1748 01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,439 Speaker 2: who's the a Z's He had a head of geopolitical risk, 1749 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:32,760 Speaker 2: And I think you can be a reasonably good head 1750 01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:34,680 Speaker 2: of geopolitical risk at the moment, as long as you 1751 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:36,760 Speaker 2: say things like very difficult to say what's going on, 1752 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,800 Speaker 2: hard to tell what's next, it's an open question as 1753 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 2: to what might unfold before you. Stuff like that. But 1754 01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,439 Speaker 2: be that as it may. See a couple of positive things. 1755 01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,400 Speaker 2: I thought the US policy stance was creating new opportunities 1756 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,240 Speaker 2: for trading nations. Where a trading nation, so new opportunities 1757 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,240 Speaker 2: for US. I think I might be right without blowing 1758 01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,639 Speaker 2: my own trumpet. So far, so good. But I did 1759 01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,280 Speaker 2: say at the very beginning of this that it might 1760 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,040 Speaker 2: be possible. And red meat's the very good example. Wine 1761 01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 2: would be the other. In dealing directly with America, it's 1762 01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 2: entirely possible. We are so good at ten percent, we 1763 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 2: might be able to trade our way through it. In 1764 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 2: other words, there are enough people that we sell to 1765 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,840 Speaker 2: in America that another ten percent on a bottle of 1766 01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:18,040 Speaker 2: whatever and a stake of isn't going to be a 1767 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,200 Speaker 2: problem for them. So, in other words, sales don't get hurt. 1768 01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:22,479 Speaker 2: It's still early days, but certainly in the numbers and 1769 01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,720 Speaker 2: we had them in the April numbers for red meat. 1770 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,720 Speaker 2: They're just absolutely booming and there seems to be no 1771 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 2: end as to how much we can sell. Anyway, He's 1772 01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:33,200 Speaker 2: looking at other countries doubling down on free trade agreements. 1773 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,880 Speaker 2: I know they mentioned the other day with Steve that 1774 01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 2: the Australians are back in with the EU and they're 1775 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 2: looking to They had a stall free trade arrangement. They 1776 01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,280 Speaker 2: said let's go, let's get back into it. So they're underway. 1777 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,840 Speaker 2: So he's looking at places like the Europeans, the UK, Australia, India, 1778 01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:50,639 Speaker 2: New Zealand, are Japan, South Korea all free traders. There's 1779 01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:53,799 Speaker 2: a lot of trading partners out there. There's NOECD report 1780 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,519 Speaker 2: that nations are looking to redouble their commitments to free trade, 1781 01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 2: which is right up our alley. He argues, it's problem 1782 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 2: going to offset some of the impacts from the other 1783 01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 2: markets that are looking to tighten things up, like America. 1784 01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 2: So I hope he's right, but as well worth reading. 1785 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:11,479 Speaker 2: Mike I gouged the new Netflix series Last Night Department Q, 1786 01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:17,360 Speaker 2: Scottish cold case Units, starring Matthew Good as the brilliantly 1787 01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:21,400 Speaker 2: incisive Detective Carl Mork, who is prone to colorful outbursts, 1788 01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,760 Speaker 2: reminded me of the hosk Actually and looks slightly like 1789 01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,160 Speaker 2: you too, does he? 1790 01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:27,760 Speaker 15: He's t haggard, that's what you mean. 1791 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,400 Speaker 2: I tried, it looks a bit scott Who's the woman 1792 01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 2: that very well known, very weathered looking woman who's in 1793 01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 2: everything from North of the Border in the Star of 1794 01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 2: the Show, whatever her name. 1795 01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,280 Speaker 15: Is, the one who plays like the superintendent of. 1796 01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,559 Speaker 2: The Every time I see here, I go do I 1797 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 2: need this?

He said it ends 1806 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,519 Speaker 2: on a depressing note. He was wrong. What he meant 1807 01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,920 Speaker 2: by that is that this goes to farming. You got 1808 01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 2: to understand farming last year in Britain was a disaster. 1809 01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,080 Speaker 2: The reason Jeremy Clarkson didn't come here the other week 1810 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,760 Speaker 2: is because he's dealing with the drought, as are most 1811 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,439 Speaker 2: of British farmers at the moment. Last year they were 1812 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:23,519 Speaker 2: dealing with water like they'd never seen it in their lives. 1813 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 2: And his entire Durham wheat crop was written off, which 1814 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,880 Speaker 2: was his main crop, and it was the crop they've 1815 01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 2: grown for pasta. They couldn't get any reading and there 1816 01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,920 Speaker 2: was no money coming in, and so he was like 1817 01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,360 Speaker 2: every other farmer. And that is that you hang on 1818 01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:41,240 Speaker 2: in the tough years thinking that next year must be better. 1819 01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,320 Speaker 2: It cannot be any worse than this past year. And 1820 01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 2: that is farming. And if you don't understand that, it 1821 01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:48,479 Speaker 2: would seem depressing. And to be fair, the opening of 1822 01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,439 Speaker 2: his pub was chaotic as well, and it's hard to 1823 01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:51,960 Speaker 2: know how much of that they cut up to make 1824 01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:53,559 Speaker 2: it look chaotic and versus how. 1825 01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:54,280 Speaker 13: Much well all of it. 1826 01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,880 Speaker 2: Well, when the power goes out, the powers out, and 1827 01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:58,400 Speaker 2: it's not really a. 1828 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,120 Speaker 15: Public that yet you don't thin there's a produce a 1829 01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,000 Speaker 15: going be funny if we knit around the back, And. 1830 01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,080 Speaker 2: No, I don't think that's that bad anyway. The point 1831 01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,639 Speaker 2: of it is, as Katie said to me, And they 1832 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:12,559 Speaker 2: ended with Petula Clark singing downtown and they had those 1833 01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:15,160 Speaker 2: beautiful landscape shots of the British country side. As Katie 1834 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,800 Speaker 2: said to me, that's good old fashion television. It's good 1835 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,120 Speaker 2: old fashioned television. It takes you on a journey, it 1836 01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 2: tells the story, the characters are wonderful. You leave feeling 1837 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,080 Speaker 2: pretty good. And so if you haven't seen it, well 1838 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 2: worth it. 1839 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,559 Speaker 1: Nine to nine the Mike casting Breakfast with Bailey's Real 1840 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,160 Speaker 1: Estate News togs THEBB. 1841 01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:35,439 Speaker 2: What's with the Tinder and the height thing?

I'm assuming 1844 01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:46,400 Speaker 2: this out where I've never been on Tinder.

But we went overseas on a trip 1848 01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:56,360 Speaker 2: covering an event that I won't tell you because it 1849 01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,400 Speaker 2: might give away who he was. But he was on 1850 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,280 Speaker 2: Tinder all the time. It's well known guy. I could 1851 01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,519 Speaker 2: name him right now.
