We're going to speak 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 3: to a reporter there and in New Zealand has canceled 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 3: all flights to New Caledonia until the end of September. 12 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:32,639 Speaker 3: So House of Travel on. 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: That, Heather Duplicy Ellen. 14 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 3: So this morning, the White Tallmall District mayor was asked 15 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 3: on the radio how the Tekawiti community feels about the 16 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 3: death of the ten month old boy at the weekend, 17 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 3: and he said, the community have sympathy for the people 18 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 3: who knew the child. What they have sympathy for the 19 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: people who knew the child. Is that really what the 20 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: community feels, sympathy for the people who knew the child. 21 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: This is not a criticism of the mayor. The mayor 22 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: has got to answer a question like that, honestly, but 23 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 3: why wasn't the answer? Do you know what? The community 24 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: is furious, angry as because a little boy who can't 25 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: feed himself or probably even stand or talk because he 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 3: is that small, has just died because of violent, violent, 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 3: blunt false trauma which the police do not believe is accidental. 28 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 3: And actually, to the wider point, are the rest of 29 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: us furious about this? The rest of us angry about this? 30 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 3: I am angry about every single one of these stories 31 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 3: that I see. In fact, half the time I can't 32 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 3: even read them in the papers because I get so 33 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 3: angry about it. I start having quite dark thoughts about 34 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: what I'd like to do to certain people. I can't 35 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: bear the thought that there are adults who lay their 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: hands on kids. I mean, how hard do you hit 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 3: a kid for them to die? How hard? I have noticed, 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: and look, maybe I'm in imagining this, but I have 39 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: noticed that these stories do not seem to get the 40 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 3: media attention that they used to get. I mean, back 41 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: in the day, the car who He case was massive, 42 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: the Near Glassy case was massive. Felt like either of 43 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: them dominate the news for weeks on end as we 44 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: kind of just worked our way through the horror of 45 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: what was being done to kids. But the murder of 46 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 3: baby ruin October last year really not that big surprisingly. 47 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a case, This is a horrific case. 48 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: The details of the case are horrific, and also just 49 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: the fact that nobody's been held to count and when 50 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: we there were three people in that house with that 51 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: baby that night, one of them, if not all of them, 52 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: know what happened. No one's been held to account. If 53 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: there's ever an example of a baby death that should 54 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: make us angry, that's it doesn't appear to have made 55 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: us angry. I mean, that's quite possible that the reason 56 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 3: we're not getting angry about this anymore was if we're 57 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: just getting really used to this now. It happens all 58 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: the time, doesn't it. A lot of this has happens 59 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: since Audoing ITSMITIKEI was established in April twenty seventeen. But 60 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 3: this is of course the agency that's supposed to stop 61 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: babies from dying at the hands of people who are 62 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: supposed to be keeping them safe. Since April twenty seventeen, 63 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: there have been around sixty child murders. We're something like 64 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 3: top three in the world for killing our own kids. 65 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: I mean, that's mental, isn't it. Anyway? As I say, 66 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 3: it's not a criticism of the mayor for how he 67 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: answered that question, but I just wanted to point out 68 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: to you that maybe our reaction as the wider New 69 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: Zealand community should not be to feel sorry for the adults, 70 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 3: but actually to feel really really angry for that baby 71 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: Heaver do for see Allen nine two nine two is 72 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: the text number. We'll talk to the huddle about it 73 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 3: later on when they're with us. It's worth pointing out 74 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: the coppers aren't talking. They're they're gonna talk in a 75 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: press conference tomorrow. Audoung Atomitiki's not talking about it. They 76 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: say that they are assisting the police with this, which 77 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: suggests to me that ot was all over that already. 78 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: But we will get you the details as it comes 79 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: to hand. Anyway, It's ten past four now. The government 80 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: is planning to introduce legislation this year to lift the 81 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: oil and gas exploration ban, but so far it appears 82 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: that there is no interest from any of the overseas 83 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: investors in coming back to New Zealand. And why would 84 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: they Because Labour's Energy spokesperson Meghan Woods is already floating 85 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: the idea of rebanning the oil and gas exploration when 86 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: they get back in. 87 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 4: Our members are a very strong case for at twenty 88 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: eight and see the case has been even stronger. 89 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 5: Our oil and gas is not. 90 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 6: Going to be a future. 91 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 5: We've got to be planning for a different future now. 92 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: John Carnegie is the CEO of Energy Resources Ulta at 93 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: Owners with US now had. 94 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 7: John, Hey, how are you doing ever? 95 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 3: Very well? Thank you. Have you heard of any interest 96 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: from overseas? 97 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 7: Oh? No, And it's going to be a long term effort. 98 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 7: You know, Minister Jones talks about going out and talking 99 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 7: to the rest of the world saying we're open for business. 100 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 7: He's going to have to use the full extemes of 101 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 7: his charm in doing that. 102 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: If we haven't had any I mean, these guys were 103 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: elected in October, which means that it's and they made 104 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: it very clear that they would be bringing back oil 105 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: and gas expiration. If nine months on from them we 106 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: still haven't had any overseas interest, do you really think 107 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 3: we're going to get any It was the ship sailed. 108 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 7: I don't think the ship sailed at all. I think 109 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 7: what's happening is that investors. And this is both the 110 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 7: domestic the current incumbents we're producing guests to keep our 111 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 7: lights on now, as well as potential offshore investors are 112 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 7: looking to wait to see what the actual changes are. 113 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 3: So they want to see some assurance or some sort 114 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: of some sort of thing to make them feel confident. 115 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well, I mean I guess there are two 116 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 7: questions on that. So they are seeing material enough changes 117 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 7: and then I guess the other part to that is, well, 118 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 7: you know, what do we think will do the job 119 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 7: in terms of them? Are they material enough? Well, we've 120 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 7: only seen detail in the pressfulness, so we have to 121 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 7: be slightly more patient. You see what comes through in 122 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 7: the legislation. 123 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 3: So John what Shane Jones? Shane Jones seems to have 124 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: landed on the solution here being if the contracts are 125 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: long enough that will give some assurance to the overseas investors. 126 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 3: Is that the answer long content rights? 127 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 7: Oh well, I mean I don't I think. Also a 128 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 7: month or two ago talked about bonds. 129 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he seems to have said he can't do 130 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: that because he would be there will be this this government, 131 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 3: this parliament tying the hands of a future parliament which 132 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: can't do well well. 133 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 7: A bond could be similar to a long term contract. 134 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 7: I mean there is just a number of mechanisms, but 135 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 7: I think again we'd need to see the detail. But 136 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 7: the key thing is we think he's on the right track. 137 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 7: You know, these along lived their sets, you know they 138 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 7: I mean, take so we had a discovery today, it 139 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 7: could take up to ten years before it's even producing. 140 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 7: So that crosses how many three four are electoral sites. 141 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 7: That's why the sector will need confidence. I want to 142 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 7: see that they are going to be kept whole, that 143 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 7: the changes, the things, the investments they said that they 144 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 7: may have today are still going to be whole in 145 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 7: ten twenty years time. And I'd use Mawi. The Marwi 146 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 7: gasfield started producing in nineteen seventy nine, so these are 147 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 7: and still going and hopefully got a while left to go. 148 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 7: So you know, these are the long lived assets. It's 149 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 7: really important that we see we get investors back that 150 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 7: they don't think that the rules are going to change 151 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 7: halfway through. 152 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: To how unhelpful O the likes of Meghan Woods at 153 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: the moment. 154 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 7: Oh look, Meghan has a particular particular view and so 155 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 7: she's trying to change the nature of the nature of 156 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 7: the debate. Look, I just think that we have to 157 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 7: see the black and white. Let's see the deals, let's 158 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 7: see the let's see the legislation. Investors will make risks, 159 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 7: adjusted decisions. I'll look at the detail and they'll decide 160 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 7: whether or not to put money back in New Zealand 161 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 7: or keep it in Australia or put it somewhere else. 162 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 7: And I that's the thing that we are going to 163 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 7: be looking for, Minister, actually put suitable arrangements in place 164 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 7: to give investors and long lived essets sufficient confidence. 165 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 3: John, you are so much more optimistic than I am. 166 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: But I'm taking some heart from it. That's John Carnegie, 167 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: the chief executive of Energy Resources ALTA or hither. You're 168 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: so very right. This shouldn't be happening to the kids. 169 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: I remember every single one of them. This one is 170 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: very close to home. It's so sad. It's time that 171 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: these people were taken to task. Don't you just want 172 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: some people to end up in the slammer in like 173 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: really bad situations, do you know what I mean? Like 174 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 3: like the proper slammer experience, Like go to the slammer 175 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: and then have the full gamut of what fun it 176 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 3: can be in the slammer for what's happened here anyway, 177 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: just being announced that the Chinese premiere Li Chiang is 178 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: going to visit the country this Thursday. He's the first 179 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: premier to visit here since twenty seventeen. Now, I know 180 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: what you're thinking, and it is very tempting to see 181 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: that as a commentary on what China may have thought 182 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 3: of labor, because the last time one of them visited 183 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 3: it was the year before labor, and then the next 184 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 3: time one of them visitors the year after labor, and 185 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 3: so it's tempting to go with the labor's fault, but 186 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: it may actually have more to To be fair, it 187 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 3: was a little bit of that they didn't love labor. 188 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: I mean, remember there was the Tapapa event problems, there 189 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 3: was an Air New Zealand plane that was turned back 190 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: when Cindy was in charge, and there was all the 191 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: problems with the exports at the border and all that 192 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. But it actually probably got more to do, 193 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: I suspect with the Australian relationship, because that's the big 194 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: They are the big players here and remember things got 195 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 3: so bad between the Aussies and the Chinese that they 196 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: got the trade sanctions and all that stuff, and generally 197 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: the Chinese premiere will not visit the one without the other, right, 198 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: they'll come here and visit Australia, which is what's happening 199 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: this time. Anyway, we'll see Barry Soaper is going to 200 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: talk about it in about half an hour's time and 201 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 3: Todd McLay Trade Minister with us after five on that 202 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: sixteen past four. 203 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,599 Speaker 2: Digging deeper into the day's headlines, it's Heather duper c 204 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: Allen Drive with one New Zealand one giant leaf for 205 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: business used dogs'd. 206 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 3: Be Jason Pine sports talkhosters with me Piney, Hello, Hello, Heather. 207 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 3: All right the black Caps are they going to be 208 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: able to turn this around? 209 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 8: Well, they're going to have to if they want to 210 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 8: stay in this tournament. Saturday was a bit abject, wasn't it. 211 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 8: Humiliation in the hands of Afghanistan, all out seventy five, 212 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 8: losing by eighty odd runs. You can pick over the 213 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 8: bones of that as much as you like, but the 214 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 8: factors they now must beat the co hosts, the West 215 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 8: Indies on Thursday, otherwise they're not going to progress beyond 216 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 8: the group stages, which would be I think their worst 217 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 8: ever showing at a white Ball World Cup for certainly 218 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 8: for a very long time. So, look, can they fix it? 219 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 8: I think they can, but they don't have a heck 220 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 8: of a lot of time. I'd make a couple of changes. 221 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 8: Get Rich and Ravendra in there, get Jimmy Nisham in there, 222 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 8: and try and do something about the batting order that 223 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 8: just failed so miserably the other day. Look, they can 224 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 8: fix it, but I'm not one hundred percent confident that 225 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 8: they that they will in time. Unfortunately, is it the pitch? Well, 226 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 8: both teams have to bat on it, right, so look yeah. 227 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, But so the argument is both teams have to 228 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: bat on it, but some teams just expect better and 229 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: they can't handle crappy, crappy turf. 230 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 8: I tell, what would have been handy would be getting 231 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 8: there early for a couple of warm up games to 232 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 8: get used to news to the conditions. That was I 233 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 8: think a major oversight by New Zealand cricket. 234 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: How good are the Warriors. 235 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 8: Three or three from three Bay back in the Winter's Circle? 236 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 3: What is it all in their heads? 237 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: Well? 238 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 8: I don't know, but look you look at it and 239 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 8: the well, not a funny thing. But that this has 240 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 8: been achieved the last three wines without Sean Johnson, without 241 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 8: Roger to. 242 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: The got a theory. I've got a theory that in 243 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 3: that little bad patch they were playing, they were forcing 244 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: their star players to play with injury and it wasn't working. 245 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 3: So so Sean Johnson was was injured, and was it 246 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 3: Egan as well. 247 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 8: Egan and also Roger to Varsa Chek was wasn't wasn't 248 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 8: as as flash. 249 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 6: As he could. 250 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: So they had these guys on there who were really 251 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 3: crucial to the game, but they were injured. They were 252 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 3: carrying these niggles, and some of the other squads may 253 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 3: have known and kind of gone for that a little bit. 254 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 3: And when they were off, they were replaced by perfectly 255 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: fit men who did a great job. 256 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 8: So when the stars come back, fit one hundred percent 257 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 8: fit here, if I take your theory to it, win yes, 258 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 8: and have and have much greater depth because these players, 259 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 8: the foes, have stepped in in time and in times 260 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 8: of need, and we'll now be there at that time. 261 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 3: I know nothing about sport, so you need to adjudicate 262 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 3: on whether my theory makes any sense. 263 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 8: Can I can I let you know in a month. 264 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: Oh jeezu, that's annoying, isn't it. 265 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 8: Well the proof of the puddings in the eating. 266 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: Me know, Piney, because I'll also be watching, I'll let 267 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: myself know if I'm right or not. 268 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 9: Geez, fair enough. 269 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 3: Finey, Thank you very much appreciated. That's Jason Pine's sports 270 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 3: talk host. He'll be back at seven o'clock this evening. 271 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 3: It's full twenty two. 272 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: Heather Duplicy Allen cutting through the noise to get the facts. 273 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 2: It's Heather Duplicy Allen Drive with One New Zealand. Let's 274 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: get connected and news talk as they'd be. 275 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 3: Hey, I don't know if you saw this footage last week, 276 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: but Peter Costello, the chairman of nine, was caught on 277 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: video by I think it was a journo from the Australian. 278 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: He said, the journo fell over. Well, the journal journo 279 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: doors did what we call in the industry at doorstop 280 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 3: where they he bowled up to Peter Costello at the 281 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: airport started asking him questions. A nick minute, the journo 282 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: fell over and Peter Costeller was like, hey chapped. But 283 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 3: if you watch the video, Peter Costello, the chairman of mine, 284 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 3: totally drops shoulder and gives them one with the shoulder, 285 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: which causes him to fall over. Well, anyway, guess who 286 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 3: quit today, Peter Costello, because you can't go around assaulting 287 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 3: people like that on video. I mean, if you assaulted 288 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: them without the video, might have kept his job. But 289 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: the video was a bit of a slam dunk. So anyway, 290 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 3: Oliver Peterson's going to talk to us about that around 291 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: about fifteen minutes hither. You're dead right, This killing of 292 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: toddler's is appalling and prevalent in New Zealand. New babies 293 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 3: should stay in hospital for a week or two where 294 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 3: the parents can be assessed as suitable by the medics, 295 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: and the toddlers and the parents need to be checked, 296 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 3: often randomly by qualified people, maybe like Plunket. I mean, 297 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: it's okay, so Bill, Bill, you've obviously not called up 298 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: on how clogged up the health system is because that's 299 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 3: not possible anymore. It's not the old days. You can't 300 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: have mum rolling around in the bed for a week, 301 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 3: as lovely as that would be. But Bill makes a 302 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: really good point, right, there are all of these agencies 303 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: when you have a baby who're all up in your 304 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 3: grill checking that everything is okay. Like Plunkett comes around, 305 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: like I ask you if you're getting the bash from 306 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 3: the husband? They do. They literally ask you if you're 307 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: getting the bash from the husband. Strip the baby down, 308 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: have a look, see if there's any bruises and stuff. 309 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 3: Right Where was Plunket? Where was Plunket in this? And 310 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: if Plunkett can't get into the family, surely that's a flag, 311 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: a red flag, Like, surely there should be red flags 312 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: all over the shop. If ot is involved, surely that's 313 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 3: a red flag. It just seems to me like we've 314 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: got like, there's no good having these It's no good 315 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 3: having these guys turning up to my house. I'm perfectly 316 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: capable and doing things. Okay, no good than spending all 317 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: of the energy on me. You to spend the energy 318 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: on these people, by the looks of things. Anyway, listen, 319 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: after five o'clock, Scott Watson. We need to talk about 320 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: Scott Watson because he is in court again this year. 321 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 3: Oh sorry, this year, I mean this week. He's in 322 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 3: the Court of appeal. He's trying to argue that his 323 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: conviction was unsafe for two reasons. Now, I reckon the 324 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: reason that that is The most compelling of the two 325 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: is that he doesn't look anything like the guy who 326 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: Olivia I Hope and Ben Smart went off with. Two 327 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: witnesses say that that guy had long, scraggly hair. But 328 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: if you look back at photographs of Scott Watson on 329 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: the night and so, it's not like something he's done 330 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: to his hair after the fact. Right, it was on 331 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 3: the night the photo was taken. It was New Year's Eve. 332 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: He's got short, dark hair like what doesn't even match 333 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: the description anyway, there's an eyewitness identification. Am I allowed 334 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 3: to say this? I'm gonna say it anyway. I do 335 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 3: reckon he did it? 336 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 7: Eh? 337 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: I reckon?

Yes, the far right is both the result 380 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 11: of the impoverishment of the French and the downgrading of 381 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 11: our country. So at the end of this day I 382 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 11: cannot act as if nothing had happened to them. 383 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 3: The Aussie government has opposition rather has clarified it's got 384 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 3: no plans to pull out of the Paris Agreement. And 385 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 3: this has come about because Opposition leader Peter and Dutton 386 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 3: said yesterday he won't meet the current Governments submissions targets 387 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: if he gets back into power, But Deputy Opposition Leader 388 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 3: David little Proud has said today the Coalition is still 389 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 3: committed to meeting Australia's Paris targets. 390 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 9: We won't have a linear pathway. 391 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 11: There will be a ramp up at the end in 392 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 11: US achieving that goal of natzero by twenty fifty. 393 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 12: We just don't need to achieve it by twenty thirty, 394 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 12: which is what this mob's trying to do. 395 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 3: More with Ossie Correspondent Oliver Peterson shortly and finally remember 396 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 3: the days the old School. A graduation ceremony in Oklahoma 397 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 3: has finally gone ahead after a fifty year postponement. It 398 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 3: was originally this is a graduation ceremony. It was originally 399 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: for More High Schools class of seventy four, but it 400 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: was cut short due to a tornado warning and the 401 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 3: school just never bothered to reschedule. So some of the 402 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 3: alumni decided to organize a rain check with the school 403 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 3: for the fiftieth anniversary of their senior year, and they 404 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 3: finally graduated over the weekend. 405 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 2: International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of mind forland. 406 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: Business, Oli Peters and six pm per life presents to 407 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 3: HEYLI get ahead, mate, Daniel Andrews's got a gong. 408 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 9: Oh, I mean to turn it up. 409 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 12: This is a complete and utter joke and the way 410 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 12: that this has been politicized in this country just makes 411 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 12: a complete mockery of the King's Birthday honors. Don't forget 412 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 12: that this labor government here in Australia, Anthony Aberneze, he 413 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 12: wants Australia to become a republic. 414 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 9: He does. He wants to abandon the idea that we're 415 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 9: part of the monarchy. 416 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 12: And here are some captain's choices to promote Daniel Andrews 417 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 12: and Mark McGowan, of course, the former Premier of Western 418 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 12: Australia with the highest King's Birthday honors. This is like 419 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 12: that moment when Tony Abbott decided that he would give 420 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 12: Prince Philip at the time a knighthood here in Australia. 421 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 12: This is a complete and utter joke. Honestly, it's reverberating 422 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 12: around the country today, but that they've been given these 423 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 12: honors because they're so polarizing, and it's from the group 424 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 12: from the government that doesn't even want to acknowledge the 425 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 12: King or acknowledge the money, but. 426 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 3: He still has I mean, he's still even if he 427 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 3: doesn't want to be involved with the king and stuff. 428 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 3: Here's the prime minister of a country that hands out 429 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 3: these gongs on King's birthday. He's got to play the game. 430 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 9: So why doesn't Gladys periotically and get one, or. 431 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 3: Well for that matter, point I see it so largely 432 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: it's about the politicization given the mates. 433 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 12: And what about Anastasia Palichet than in Queensland because she 434 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 12: kept all the hospitals for Queenslanders. The thing that gets 435 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 12: me in this as well, which is just you know, 436 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 12: sort of. 437 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 9: Getting into the weeds. 438 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 12: But mart McGowan over here, right, he got it for 439 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 12: quote eminent service to the people in the Parliament of 440 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 12: w WAD, to public health and education and to international 441 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 12: trade relations, Heather, Our hospitals have never been worse. 442 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 9: So public health get cool. You shut the damn border. 443 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 12: You didn't let dying relatives come in and meet their 444 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 12: you know, their their sons or their daughters, or their 445 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 12: grandparents or their grandmothers. 446 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 9: Like this is just almost a sick joke. 447 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 12: And I do find the politicization of this needs to 448 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 12: be taken out of the hand. 449 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 3: Can we agree Daniel Andrews sucked at the job as well. 450 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 9: Big time? As Neil Mitchell said today. 451 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 12: If he it's this, then every single Victorian should get 452 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 12: an Order of Australia for putting. 453 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 13: Up with him. 454 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, fair point. Hey what about Peter Costello though, I mean, 455 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 3: that was obvious that he would have to quit eventually. 456 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 12: Big time now, you know, obviously I worked for six PR. 457 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 12: Nine Entertainment Company is the owner of this organization. But 458 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 12: absolutely Peter Costello had to go, he really did. I 459 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 12: mean that video sort of speaks of itself, doesn't it. 460 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 12: On Thursday and Canberra Airport. He still claims he never 461 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 12: pushed over Leam Mendez from The Australian. Obviously they have 462 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 12: a bit of a disagreement. He says he fell into 463 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 12: a little pole that was there. But Peter Costello had 464 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 12: no other choice, he had to leave. And obviously nine 465 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 12: Entertainment Company, the owner of our radio station, has been 466 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 12: under the microscope in recent times. Obviously the former news 467 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 12: director of nine News, Darren Week, leaving the organization, and 468 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 12: there are some big issues at the moment within the organization, 469 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 12: which is the host broadcaster of the Olympics in a 470 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 12: few months either. So oh, it's an interesting time. Let's 471 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 12: just say putting it mildly within the organization too. 472 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: Right now, what is the Coalition government actually going to do? 473 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 3: Is it going to stick to the emission's targets or not. 474 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 12: I think they gave themselves a bit of wriggle room 475 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 12: on the weekend and then saw the news poll this 476 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 12: morning that's put Labor and the Coalition out fifty to fifty. 477 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 12: So all of a sudden, Peter Dutton consents a narrow 478 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 12: path to victory here, unlikely victory. It must be set 479 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 12: at the election next year, and he's tried to walk 480 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 12: it back by sending David Little Proud out today. So 481 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 12: effectively they're saying they're still committed to achieving net zero 482 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 12: by twenty fifty, but they don't think they'll achieve the 483 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 12: twenty thirty targets that they've set for themselves in the 484 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 12: twenty thirty five targets at the Albaneze government signed up to, 485 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 12: so they're trying to give themselves some wriggle room on that. 486 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 9: I think it. 487 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 12: Paves the way as well here for the nuclear option 488 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 12: that Peter Dutton and David Little Prowd want to explore. 489 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 12: I though think all of a sudden this is going 490 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 12: to not reverberate very well around the nation because he's 491 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 12: trying to pick up some of those Teal seats Heather 492 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 12: that obviously were converted at the last federal election. 493 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 9: He can say goodbye to them today. 494 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 12: If he's going down a pathway of saying no to 495 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 12: twenty fifty into the Paris Agreement, there's Buckley's chance of 496 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 12: picking up any of. 497 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 9: Those seats, some of those out of seats. 498 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 12: Absolutely, But this is like we've got a great political 499 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 12: discussion now to have in this country whenever that elections 500 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 12: called in. I actually think after today's news, Pol Anthony 501 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 12: Albinize's going to go before Christmas, He's going to call 502 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 12: this sooner. 503 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: Other learning Jaez Okay, I like that. I'm going to 504 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: remember that, Olie, and we'll hold you to that prediction. 505 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: That's Oliver Peterson six PR Perth Live presenter just saying 506 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 3: good as he went off this. He's up for the challenge. 507 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: Hither there are no checks at ten months of age. 508 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 3: My baby boys ten months old got checked at six 509 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 3: months and then not again at twelve months. So I 510 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 3: actually vaguely remember that to be the case. But if 511 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 3: they're a prop, Listen, nobody goes from six months being 512 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 3: an awesome parent to ten well, I mean, we don't know, Like, 513 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: let's be clear, we do not know who's responsible for 514 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 3: the baby. Let's put it like this, for the death 515 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 3: of the baby. A baby's not a happy, bubbly baby 516 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,239 Speaker 3: in a safe environment at six months, and they're not 517 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 3: at ten months unless something significant changes, like the location, 518 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: and you know who's caring for them. You know what 519 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 3: I mean, So you can generally see the signs. Listen. 520 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: Carpety MP is in trouble with the media for the 521 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 3: cost of his Wellington apartment. This is National MP Tim Costly, 522 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 3: well named Costly. He lives in Why can I now 523 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 3: that's only fifty eight k's away from Wellington, right, But 524 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 3: he also has a flat in Wellington which he uses 525 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 3: when the house is sitting. And so he does the 526 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: thing that many MPs do where he owns the flat 527 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: and then he claims the housing allowance like rents it 528 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: back to himself and the taxpaer picks up the tab. 529 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,959 Speaker 3: It's thirty six four hundred dollars a year. 530 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 1: It sucks. 531 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 3: I had it too, but it's within the rules. Okay, 532 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 3: this has been done forever. Bill English did it. It's 533 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 3: just what happens. Prime Minister does it as well. Now 534 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: that's obviously not what he's in trouble for, because everybody's 535 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 3: doing it, and everybody has been doing it for ages. 536 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 3: What he's in trouble for is doing this claiming the 537 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: thirty six thousan four hundred dollars a year when he 538 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: actually lives close by, right, he lives in why can 539 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: I fifty eight k's away? But hang on a tick, 540 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: let's be fair about this. Driving from Wellington to why 541 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 3: can I can take your forty five minutes on a 542 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 3: good day sixty minutes plus on a bad day. Now, 543 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 3: on a sitting day as a backbencher, he's there anywhere 544 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 3: from seven thirty to eight thirty in the morning all 545 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: the way through to ten o'clock at night. Now you 546 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: cannot seriously expect him to get in a car and 547 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 3: drive an hour either side of the day but get 548 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 3: home after eleven o'clock at night and then get up 549 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 3: being the cast six thirty in the morning or seven 550 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 3: thirty in the morning. I mean, that's crazy, Like that's dangerous. 551 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 3: So obviously he needs a place to stay in Wellington. 552 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 3: Fair enough for him to stay in Wellington. I don't 553 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 3: like the rules, but thense are the rules. Unfortunately, as 554 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 3: far as what I'm trying to say is, I can't 555 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 3: see this guy's done anything wrong. Sixteen away from. 556 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: Five per politics with Centrics credit check your customers and 557 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 2: get payments certainty. 558 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 3: Thirteen away from five Barry So for senior political correspondence 559 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 3: with US Barry, Hello, good afternoon. Here's the Public Service Commission, 560 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 3: the right agency to do this inquiry into the allegations 561 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 3: around the Marti Party. 562 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 14: Well, yes, I think from a government perspective it is 563 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 14: don't forget. You've got the police, the Privacy Commissioner, other 564 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 14: agencies like Stats New Zealand, the MSD and even more 565 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 14: looking at this issue now, both concerning the censors and 566 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 14: the immunization for COVID. So the Prime Minister says the 567 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 14: public has got to have confidence in the electoral system 568 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 14: and the information they provide in confidence. 569 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 10: Here the inquiry will cover all relevant government agencies, including 570 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 10: Crown entities, and this inquiry will run concurrently to the 571 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 10: investigations run by the agencies and will not compromise the 572 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 10: processes or the investigations that the Police and Privacy Commissioner. 573 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 9: Already have underway. 574 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 10: Here'll be further announcements this week on the terms of reference, 575 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 10: the timing for the inquiry, as well as the independent 576 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 10: reviewer who will lead the process. I just say New 577 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 10: Zealanders must have confidence that the data they provide to 578 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 10: government agencies or others acting on their behalf is used 579 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 10: appropriately and is subject to adequate protections. 580 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 13: Yeah. 581 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 14: So he wasted no time in getting back, didn't it. 582 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 14: He said we will wait to see when he was 583 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 14: in the Pacific, He'll wait to see what happens with 584 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 14: these other inquiries. But he's decided that, Look, the issue 585 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 14: is big, It's an enormous issue, and so it really 586 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 14: has to be put. 587 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: To Allegations like this cut to the heart of our confidence. Yeah, 588 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 3: cuts to the heart of our confidence in elected members 589 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 3: as well, right, so least interest. So to clear this up, 590 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 3: what do you make of the Chinese premiere arriving here 591 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: on Thursday? 592 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 9: Well, can we blame. 593 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 3: The little period where they didn't turn up and visit 594 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 3: us at all between twenty seventeen and now? Is that 595 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 3: because of their attitude towards Labor or is that more 596 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 3: because of the relationship that they had with Australia. 597 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: No. 598 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 14: I think it probably had a lot to do with 599 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 14: the relationship they had with the government, because there were 600 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 14: very little visits on a trade mission perspective to China 601 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 14: when Labor was in power, and they see that New 602 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 14: Zealand is now serious. We've had a few ministers up 603 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 14: there with trade missions. Todd McLay was standing alongside Chris 604 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 14: Luxen and basically the Premier Lee is coming here, but 605 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 14: he said there will be a number of announcements on 606 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 14: Thursday and Friday. So clearly the announcements have already been 607 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 14: worked out between the Chinese and the New Zealand government. 608 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 14: It always works that way, so so expect that on 609 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 14: Thursday and Fronday, and then at the weekend the Prime 610 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 14: Minister's off to Japan. Everyone's traveling at the moment pretty 611 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 14: expensive on the old taxpayer, but we've got to get 612 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 14: out there or a tony country at the bottom of 613 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 14: the Pacific. So he's leading a thirty five member trade 614 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 14: mission to Tokyo and he'll be there next week and 615 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 14: I think that's a good thing for New Zealand. 616 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 3: A bit of a coup for the ACTS Party to 617 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 3: get Paul Henry speak, don't. 618 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 14: You think, Well, yeah, it came at you what they 619 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 14: call a change makers rally. Those that attended it paid 620 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 14: fifty bucks ahead to go to it here in Auckland 621 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 14: and they got a pretty good turnout. Of course, no 622 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 14: ACT event now would be complete without a poke at 623 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 14: National because they want to see themselves as being totally 624 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 14: independent of the National lead government. What David Seymour said 625 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 14: that our allies and government have said they get that'd 626 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 14: get faster decisions if they didn't need to consult ACT. 627 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 14: But he said they don't only need fast decisions, they 628 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 14: need better decisions. So these you poke at National, Well, 629 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 14: if you listen to the guests, guest speaker Paul Henry, 630 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 14: he left them in no doubt as to where his 631 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 14: loyalties lay. Not that National, not that we had any 632 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 14: confusion because he once stood for the National Party. But 633 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 14: with ACT, he says, they're not afraid of change, even 634 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 14: if it means upsetting a few voters. 635 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 15: I think this country is deeply in the shit, and 636 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 15: I think the options to leverage ourselves out of the 637 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:42,479 Speaker 15: shit are becoming increasingly limited, largely because the people willing 638 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 15: and capable of doing it are few, and most importantly 639 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 15: because so many good people just cringe inside and say 640 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 15: nothing as matches are lit to incinerate more of New Zealand, 641 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 15: which we used to stand for, which used to be 642 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 15: in when people globally you still look at this country 643 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 15: in envy. I believe act could be the last cab 644 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 15: on the rank heading the right direction. 645 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 14: Yeah, well you go put his hand touches. 646 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 3: I missed that man from our stores and our ways. 647 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 14: Don't you. I think he got carried away with the 648 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 14: Indian minister dick shit because now that. 649 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: You don't need to revisit that, because I've got some 650 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: opinions on that actually, and it would largely exonerate Paul 651 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 3: Henry Hey just really quickly is and I don't need 652 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 3: it in great detail because I have just outlaid the case. 653 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: Right. 654 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 3: But it's not a crime for him if he lives 655 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: in Carpety. And why can I to have a flat 656 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 3: in Wellington? 657 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 2: Is it? 658 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 14: No? No, of course it's not. He owned the flat 659 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 14: in Wellington seven hundred bucks a week. Yeah, are the 660 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 14: taxpayer is paying for it because he's letting it to himself. 661 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 3: Which everybody does well, this is though. 662 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 14: He's in commuting distance. If you look at the Inland 663 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 14: Revenue No, Inland Revenue Department divines, Well, can I just 664 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 14: say what the official. 665 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: Miner is before anything that's reasonable? 666 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 14: Can I just say what the official liners Inland revenue? 667 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 14: The charges are taxes.

Minister for Resources Sharing Jones's back with us 683 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 16: the legislation later on this year. Why can't it be quick? 684 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: At what's the hold up? 685 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 17: Obviously we had to be very careful as to how 686 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 17: we made the announcement because they are share market implications 687 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 17: and we want to get this right because if you 688 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 17: go back six years ago, Megan Woods, we're seeing the 689 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 17: gi Minister in the history of Western civilization and Jacinda 690 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 17: Rush this court ONCET and I unawares, and we don't 691 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 17: want to repeat the error. So take the time to 692 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 17: get it right and boost the desirability of New Zealand 693 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 17: as a further destination for international capital. 694 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 16: Back tomorrow at six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast with 695 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 16: Jaguar Newstalk ZV Heather. 696 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 3: I work fourteen hour days like that MP, Tim, and 697 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 3: I'm very tired afterwards. If I was then to drive 698 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 3: home fifty eight k so well, I'd be putting other 699 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 3: road users at risk of no problem with him claiming 700 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 3: the dollars. That's from Ben Barry said as he was 701 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 3: walking out of studio not quite finished, not quite finished, 702 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 3: as you can imagine, walked out of the studio set 703 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 3: rolls need to change. 704 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 2: Do you know what? 705 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 3: I just wonder if maybe the rules do need to change. 706 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 3: They might, because this whole thing just feels a bit yucky, 707 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 3: doesn't it. Anyway, there's a question for another day. 708 00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 18: Now. 709 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 3: The question for today is how long can you sit 710 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 3: in a cafe after you finish your snack? And the 711 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 3: reason we're asking this is because a Hawk's Bay journal 712 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 3: called Mark's story. Who's like a senior journe not just 713 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 3: like a winging gen Za. It's like a code, like 714 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: a deputy deputy editor or something, you know, like respectable. 715 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 3: It is respectable. He's written a piece about the fact 716 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 3: that he got kicked out of an aper cafe after 717 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 3: he'd had his Brioshi and as flat White. He finished 718 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 3: them and he was still there, like in the period 719 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 3: from ordering them to being told to leave was an 720 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 3: hour that was his a lot of time. At the 721 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,479 Speaker 3: hour mark they said can you please leave? There were 722 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 3: tables available. Now I would have thought that having somebody 723 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 3: in an empty cafe, having somebody there's surely a good 724 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 3: thing to make it look like that's a bit jazzy. Anyway, 725 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 3: we'll talk to Martin Bosley read restratur about that about 726 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 3: twenty minutes. 727 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 2: The only Drive show you can trust to ask the questions, 728 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 2: get the answers by the facts, and give the analysis. 729 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 2: Heather due to Celum Drive with one, New Zealand, let's 730 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 2: get connected and news talk as they'd be good afternoon. 731 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 3: Just an hour ago, it was announced the Chinese Premiere 732 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 3: Lee Chiang will visit New Zealand this Thursday. It is 733 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 3: the first visit by the Chinese premier since twenty seventeen 734 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,439 Speaker 3: and marks a significant shift from our relationship with China 735 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 3: under the last government. Todd McLay is the Trade Minister. 736 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 18: Hey Todd, Hey Heather, how are you. 737 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 3: I'm very well, thank you. What Chinese business is going 738 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 3: to read this visit as a signal that they can 739 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 3: have confidence in the relationship between China and New Zealand. 740 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 18: Well, yes, I think they will, as New Zealand Business 741 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 18: is sure. It's a very long standing relationship. In fact, 742 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 18: it was sort of ten years ago this year we 743 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 18: signed a comprehensive strategic partnership around trade with China and 744 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 18: we've seen our trade grow from strength to strength, almost 745 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 18: forty billion dollars in two in both ways now and 746 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 18: so it's a very important economic relationship and I think 747 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,439 Speaker 18: the Chinese premier coming here underpins the importance of that 748 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 18: to the two economies. 749 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 12: What have you guys got planned from Well, he will 750 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 12: be in Wonnington and then other parts of the country 751 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 12: as well. 752 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 18: There will be formal meetings with the Prime Minister and 753 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 18: a number of things were working through. You can normally 754 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 18: expect announcements around areas to cooperate all steps forward. But look, 755 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 18: I want to leave that for the Prime Minister in 756 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 18: the premiere to do later in the week. 757 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 3: Why was there that gap of seven years without a visit. 758 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 18: Well, I think it's probably a range of things. I mean, 759 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 18: I was in opposition for all of that time, so 760 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 18: you know, I didn't have too much input, but I 761 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 18: suppose we also had COVID through the middle of that. 762 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 18: But since the change of government last year, there has 763 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 18: been an increase in contact and engagement. I've been up 764 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 18: to China for meetings with my counterparts across portfolios. In fact, 765 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 18: I've had two meetings with their Commerce minister, who's the 766 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 18: equivalent of trade. The Chinese Foreign Minister has visited here, 767 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 18: we meet with the Prime Minister with St Peters and 768 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 18: I and we've just had another minister from China down 769 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 18: as well. So you know, it's clear to say that 770 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 18: there's a lot of engagement going on, and you know, 771 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 18: forty billion dollars with a two way trade. That's very 772 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 18: important for us to you know, keep that relationship open 773 00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 18: and keep talking Todd. 774 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 3: Some people are reading it as if the Chinese had 775 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 3: got the pip with the Labor Party, your predecessors, but 776 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 3: I just wonder, I mean, that may have been part 777 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 3: of it, but I wonder if it actually is more 778 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 3: of a reflection of the breakdown and the relationship between 779 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 3: Australia and China. 780 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 18: Well, I think it was certainly clear when Labor first 781 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 18: came to government. It took quite some time for them 782 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 18: to be a visit and then you remember Prime Minister 783 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 18: of Doing went up there and was only able to 784 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 18: go up for a day. And look, probably that was 785 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 18: as much to do with a new government working out 786 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 18: what to do domestically. But it doesn't matter whether it's 787 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 18: China or the US, or the European Union or India. 788 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 18: You know, small country like New Zeala needs to keep 789 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 18: investing in those relationships. We can't just assume that you 790 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 18: know that people will buy from us or governments will 791 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 18: know where we are. And so I think that's why, 792 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,720 Speaker 18: you know, it's very very important as visit is taking place. 793 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 18: I don't think it is to do with what's happened 794 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 18: in Australia. And you know we've seen the Australian Chinese relationship, 795 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 18: particularly in Trader over the last period of time, you know, 796 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 18: strengthen and get back to an agree of normaloity. 797 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 3: Todd beast of like enjoyed the trip. That's Todd McLay 798 00:36:58,880 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 3: Trade Minister. 799 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: Together due for Celis. 800 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 3: Scott Watson is back before the courts to Clara's name. 801 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 3: Scott Watson has spent the last twenty five years behind 802 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 3: bars after being found guilty for the murders of Ben 803 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 3: Smart and Olivia Hope in nineteen ninety eight. Open Justice 804 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 3: reporter Catherine Hautton has been at the Court of Appeal 805 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 3: hearing and is with us. Now, Hey, Catherine, Hello, how 806 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 3: are you. I'm very well, thank you know. He is 807 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 3: fighting to Cleara his name on two grounds, isn't he? 808 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 3: What are they? 809 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 7: Yes? 810 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 4: Two grounds. Firstly the ESI evidence, which is essentially the 811 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 4: heads that were found on the blanket of Blade. And 812 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 4: secondly the photo montage. And this is how Watson was 813 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 4: identified or Wallace I did the taxi driver. Wallace identified 814 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 4: Watson and it's an infamous half blink photo where his 815 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 4: eyes are sort of half closed. 816 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 3: Right on the DNA stuff the hair. Are they going 817 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 3: to reprise the same argument, which is that there's some 818 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 3: sort of a contamination that's happened here. 819 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 4: We think so, yes, now we haven't got to that. 820 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 4: Today's they was about the photo montage. Tomorrow is about 821 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 4: the ESI evidence, which is actually the eight witnesses that 822 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 4: we've got left to hear from this week. Yes, they've 823 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,879 Speaker 4: got a new forensic scientist report from a name called 824 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 4: doctor Sean Doyle which says that an actual fact he 825 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 4: cast out on whether the heirs are actually from Olivia. 826 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 3: The misidentification claims that the second part that they're arguing 827 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 3: that seems compelling, is it as compelling in court? 828 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 4: Well, today the Crown Council spent most of the Stuart 829 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,959 Speaker 4: Bakers spent most of the day actually basically putting holes 830 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 4: in their report. So it was written by two eyewitness experts, 831 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 4: Dr Gary Wells and doctor Adele Quigley McBride, both of 832 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 4: whom spoke to the court today. And I suppose it 833 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 4: was the case of not too much. What the report 834 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 4: said is what it didn't say. Now, the report concluded 835 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 4: that Watson's identification or had little or no privative value. 836 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 4: But what they're saying is, well it didn't that. What 837 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 4: the Crown is saying is well, there's significant holes in 838 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 4: the report. And I mean to give you one example. 839 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 4: They said. They talked about how Olivia's sister that, oh sorry. 840 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 4: They talked about how the so I've just lost my place. 841 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,839 Speaker 4: They talked about how Haylen Morrison could only I had 842 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 4: only identified the man from behind and said that he 843 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 4: had long hair, and yet he couldn't identify him on 844 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 4: a montage. Well, the Crown says, well, how could you 845 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 4: identify someone from a photo if you never saw them 846 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 4: from behind, if you only one from behind. So things 847 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 4: like that, I suppose they spent the day kind of 848 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 4: arguing what the what the report had concluded? 849 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 3: Why was he not in court today? 850 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 7: By the way, I don't know. 851 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 4: He has chosen not to appear and he is not 852 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,240 Speaker 4: appearing by AVL either. 853 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 3: Okay, Catherine's so good to talk to you. Thank you 854 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 3: very much for that. That's Catherine Hautton, the Open Justice reporter. 855 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 3: Either the guy sitting in the cafe may have been 856 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 3: sucking the guts out of their Wi FI. I would 857 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 3: ask him to leave after an hour or two he's 858 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 3: not homeless regards Charlie, I mean that's a you know, 859 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 3: the the definition of homeless is so broad in this 860 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 3: country right now, you never know you might have been homeless. 861 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 3: The top issue for the country top issues, rather the 862 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 3: top five issues for the country, according to the latest 863 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 3: EPSOS New Zealand Issues Monitor are as follows. Crime is 864 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 3: up big time. Now this is not the number one issue. 865 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 3: I'm just telling you that crimes up big time because 866 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,399 Speaker 3: that's a trend that we're seeing. It's gone from being 867 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 3: fourth to being second. It is a key issue for 868 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 3: thirty five percent of us. So this is how it 869 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 3: goes in order. Right Inflation is still number one by 870 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 3: a stretch. Sixty percent of us say that's the biggest 871 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 3: problem we're facing. Crime second, that's thirty five percent. Healthcare 872 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 3: and hospitals in line in third with thirty one percent. 873 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 3: I'm pleased to see that because I feel like too 874 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 3: many people are too complacent about the way that the 875 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 3: singer's breaking down. That's not what we should expect from 876 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 3: a first world country. Housing comes in at fourth twenty 877 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 3: nine percent. That's slipped from the second place. And rounding 878 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 3: out the top five is the economy with twenty seven percent, 879 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 3: saying that that's a concern now not so flash for 880 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 3: the government in this particular, EPSOS monitors issues monitor. It's 881 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,280 Speaker 3: been driven a grade out of ten of four point six, 882 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 3: which is pretty much what they came in in November 883 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 3: or October with four point six. They are still on 884 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 3: four point six and it's just marginally ahead of the 885 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 3: worst place that the Labor government was in, which was 886 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 3: four point five fourteen past five. Choice is a good thing, 887 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 3: isn't it. Well, at least it's what we've been told. 888 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 3: But if you anything like me, sometimes too much choice 889 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 3: can actually just be overwhelming, especially when you're a small 890 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 3: business with one thousand and one decisions to make. So 891 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 3: to make life a little easier for you, One New 892 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 3: Zealand has created two brilliantly simple broadband plans that will 893 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 3: take the hassle out of keeping your business connected.

That's one New Zealand 905 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:08,319 Speaker 3: business online, Heather do for c Ellen eighteen past five. 906 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 3: So this has been getting a little bit of chat, 907 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 3: hasn't it. A man got tossed out of a cafe 908 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 3: for staying too long. The man was, unfortunately for the cafe, 909 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 3: a reporter, so he wrote about it. He'd had a 910 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 3: breoshe and he'd had a coffee and then after an 911 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 3: hour the n aper cafe told him to leave. Now 912 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 3: here's Mark's story and he was on with Kerry this 913 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 3: morning and he said that he decided to write about 914 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 3: his experience in order to kick off a discussion about 915 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 3: whether an hour is long enough for a customer to 916 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 3: outstay their welcome. 917 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 19: I think to put a time limit on it that 918 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 19: boils it down a bit too far. Because you know, 919 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 19: I didn't use any salt and pepper. I don't have 920 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 19: sugar in my coffee and I don't use the restroom, 921 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 19: so save the money for toilet paper. It's so paid. 922 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 3: Got in touch with the cafe. They didn't respond to 923 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 3: a request for comment. Rish return Martin Bosley's with me now, 924 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 3: hay boss, hey, how you don I very well? Thank you? 925 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 3: What do you reckon? Would you have kicked him out 926 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 3: after an hour? 927 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 6: You know it's a tricky one, isn't it? Like what 928 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,479 Speaker 6: was it after an hour? No way for an hour? 929 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 6: But I mean I think you've got it. You know, 930 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 6: it is real estate we're talking about, right, and it 931 00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,760 Speaker 6: is a business. It's not a public space. So different 932 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 6: cafes are going to have different sets of house rules. 933 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,439 Speaker 6: I mean, I know in Australia it's really common there 934 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 6: on their menus to say that they expect the table 935 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,240 Speaker 6: to be vacated within an hour of you're finishing whatever 936 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,319 Speaker 6: it is you're eating or drinking, and make it quite 937 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,959 Speaker 6: clear on a lot of their sort of house rules 938 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 6: as it were. You know, and you know you might 939 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 6: be using the toilet, might be plugging your laptop to 940 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 6: use their power. So I think it's kind of common sense, 941 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 6: but etiquette, you know, it's the place is empty and 942 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 6: there's hard anybody around. You're not you know, you're not 943 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 6: causing any problems, right, and I think you'd be absolutely fine. 944 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 6: Cafes want people, and the people are attracted to busy 945 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 6: places people sit and am having people sitting in there. 946 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 6: But I think if you're if you're sitting there and 947 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 6: you lector you haven't done anything, you have a board, 948 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 6: anything for at least an hour, and there's people coming 949 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 6: in clearly wanting the tables, and I think, do the 950 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 6: right thing, back up your stuff and go. But I 951 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 6: think you should probably buy something at least every hour, 952 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 6: you know, after every hour and a half, at least 953 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 6: just to pay, just to pay the rent on the table, 954 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 6: which is basically what you're essentially what you're doing the side. 955 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 3: Why why do we feel entitled to sit in a cafe? 956 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 3: I mean like I wouldn't feel like I was entitled 957 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 3: to come around to your house and just linger for 958 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 3: an hour, So why the entitlement from Mark? 959 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 6: And that's thingsatly right, Like it is like coming to 960 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 6: my house. It's like cafe is their personal expressions of self. Right, 961 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 6: So we opened the doors and might be wanted to 962 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 6: come in and see what as we're doing. But I 963 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,280 Speaker 6: think some mus there's a perception that they have public 964 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 6: spaces and that we could do whatever you want of them. 965 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 6: You've open the doors, I can come in like I 966 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 6: do what I want. I can feed my children at 967 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 6: the table. I can bring my own food, bring my 968 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,759 Speaker 6: own drinks. Sometimes, you know, like we just kind of 969 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 6: forget that actually it's a business, and it is like 970 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,320 Speaker 6: someone's going to home and as you say, like you 971 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 6: come around to my plas back up and now and as, 972 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 6: and I'll be like I am here that your idea 973 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,919 Speaker 6: anything else like your or your coat. 974 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 3: Now I know the things to watch out for, the 975 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 3: coded language, bozz, Thank you very much, Thanks mate, look 976 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,240 Speaker 3: after self.

Why all the 984 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 3: mention of all the properties he owns in places that 985 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 3: don't matter, and the value of his property, and why 986 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 3: can I one point five million dollars riverside?

Listen, I am starting 995 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 3: to just go back to the oil and gas stuff 996 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 3: that we were starting we're talking about at the start 997 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 3: of the show. I'm starting to get a little nervous 998 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 3: about whether we're ever really going to be able to 999 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 3: attract overseas investors back into our oil and gas industry. 1000 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 3: When you think about it, right, the world has known 1001 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 3: since October last year that New Zealand was back open 1002 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 3: for business, because that is when the coalition government won 1003 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 3: the election, and the coalition government had made it very 1004 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,040 Speaker 3: clear that when they got in I think all the 1005 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 3: three of the parties had made it clear that they 1006 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 3: would reverse the oil and gas ban. So since October 1007 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 3: the world new right. Things are going to change in 1008 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 3: New Zealand. But from what I can tell, no one 1009 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 3: from overseas is interested in coming to New Zealand to 1010 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 3: do the work. And frankly, if no one's registered an 1011 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,320 Speaker 3: interest in nine months, I think we might need to 1012 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,959 Speaker 3: start getting realistic about this. It's probably over. That ship 1013 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 3: has sailed. You can sort of tell also by the 1014 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 3: language that Shane Jones is using that he might know 1015 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,840 Speaker 3: this too, because he's talking about all of these efforts 1016 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 3: that he's making to try to make it more appealing 1017 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 3: for investors to come back. It's talked about bonds, now 1018 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 3: he's talking about trying to give them really, really long contracts. 1019 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 3: It's almost desperate stuff, because I think that he can 1020 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 3: already see after nine months no one's nibbling, and why 1021 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,560 Speaker 3: would they nibble. I mean, Labour has already now on 1022 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 3: multiple occasions, raised the prospect that they are open to 1023 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 3: when they get back in nixing the projects all over again. Now, 1024 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 3: investors around the world are going to read that right, 1025 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 3: They're going to read that. On one hand, the current 1026 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 3: government is reversing the oil and gas band. But on 1027 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 3: the other hand, the next government is going to just 1028 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 3: put it back in place again. Who wants to put 1029 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 3: billions of dollars of investment in and then brooking from 1030 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 3: labor or Michael Woods from Megan Woods from labor, coming 1031 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,000 Speaker 3: and ban your business all over again. I mean what 1032 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,479 Speaker 3: that means for us, Like you know, in the real world, 1033 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 3: let's think about that. What that means for us is 1034 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 3: that short of a miracle and short of some overseas 1035 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 3: investor taking a punt on us, we are probably going 1036 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 3: to have to make do with what we've got. Now. 1037 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 3: That is not a good prospect. Because our gas is 1038 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 3: running out faster than we thought it would. We are 1039 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 3: facing lights out this winter because of a gas shortage. 1040 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 3: We have been warned that. It seems to me, and 1041 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 3: I'm sorry to say this because it's not great for 1042 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 3: the environment, but it seems to me Huntley is going 1043 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 3: to be a very busy girl burning all of that 1044 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:38,240 Speaker 3: coal for a very long time. 1045 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:39,840 Speaker 1: He ever do for Sellen. 1046 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 3: We have got just on that, by the way, and 1047 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 3: I'm going to talk to Nicola Willis about it when 1048 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 3: she's with us after six o'clock just you know what 1049 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 3: it's going to take to get these people back. But 1050 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 3: from what I understand, we've got about four or five 1051 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 3: oil and gas business is still in this country and 1052 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 3: we basically need to hope that they are going to 1053 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 3: be the ones to do any further exploration or just 1054 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,240 Speaker 3: keep on tapping the existing fields. There are a couple 1055 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 3: of fields there at some fields, and a couple of 1056 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 3: them are notable, one off the coast of Raglan and 1057 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 3: another one off the coast of Tartanaki that we know 1058 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 3: there's gas in there, so they can go in if 1059 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 3: they want to. I'm just not sure they're going to 1060 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 3: want to invest the money. But anyway, in New Zealand 1061 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 3: has canceled all flights to New Caledonia until September. We're 1062 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 3: going to talk to Brent Thomas from a House of 1063 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,720 Speaker 3: Travel about that in around about ten minutes time. NBR 1064 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 3: rich List has come out today. Now I love the 1065 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 3: NBR Rich List, and the reason I love it is 1066 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 3: because I love seeing how well keys are doing. It 1067 00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 3: just gives me it. It gives me all kinds of 1068 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 3: pride and all kinds of sort of like dreaming big 1069 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 3: and thinking jeeus if the mobras can start their business 1070 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,240 Speaker 3: in a garage in Cambridge.

I particularly 1073 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 3: stoked about the Mobra family because they are the top 1074 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 3: of the list right now, and they're young, which is cool, 1075 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 3: and it's a great success story because, as I told you, 1076 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 3: they started in a garage in Cambridge and now they're 1077 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 3: worth twenty billion dollars. How about that? Mind lot so powerable? 1078 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 3: Marry yourself for a Mowbray Powerball's going to be chump 1079 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 3: change for the rest of your life. Anyway, we're going 1080 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 3: to talk to one of the guys who puts this 1081 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 3: list together, who'll be with us after half us six. 1082 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 2: The day's newsmakers talk to Heather first, Heather duperic Alan 1083 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 2: drive with One New Zealand let's get connected news talk 1084 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 2: z B. I could eat that girl for lunch and 1085 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 2: she dances on my m's like she might be. 1086 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 7: I could never get a love.

It's 1093 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 3: not gonna come from labor? Is that gonna come from 1094 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 3: national anyway. We'll we'll see what, We'll see how she 1095 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,760 Speaker 3: feels about that. I don't think she'd be stoked. Heather 1096 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 3: really ought like maybe she just doesn't care. It's the 1097 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,399 Speaker 3: other alternative. Heather re overseas investors. After the og ban, 1098 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 3: the oil and gas ban, New Zealand was labeled a 1099 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 3: sovereign risk. Now that is really serious. It means the 1100 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 3: government is not to be trusted and that is why 1101 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 3: overseas investors are reluctant to return. I mean that makes sense, right, 1102 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 3: You've got the whole world to throw your money at. 1103 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 3: You're not going to take a punt unless you're some 1104 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,279 Speaker 3: dodgy dude who's like the rest of the world is 1105 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:34,400 Speaker 3: not going to take a punt on me. You're not 1106 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 3: gonna take a punt on New Zealand if we're a 1107 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 3: sovereign risk. Got some uber ratings for some of the 1108 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 3: mayors you want to hear them, you plummeth what Neil 1109 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 3: hold him? What a goody two shoes. He's got a 1110 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,839 Speaker 3: five out of five uber rating. I don't know what 1111 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 3: that means. It's entirely possible that Neil is just a 1112 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 3: perfectly polite person who everybody loves. Or New Plymouth doesn't 1113 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 3: have ubers, so he's caught like one and he got 1114 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 3: a five out of five and that's where's rating has stayed. Campbell, 1115 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 3: Barry and lower Hut has got a four point nine 1116 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 3: to eight, which is impressive. Gisbane mayor Rahualt Stotts Stoltz 1117 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 3: has got a four point nine to three, also impressive. 1118 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,360 Speaker 3: Nick Smith of four point eight four. Now that's slightly 1119 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 3: lower because he's spent a lot of time in Wellington. 1120 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 3: They have got ubers, and he'll have caught lots and 1121 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 3: lots of ubers and maybe even some ubers on the terps. 1122 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 3: That generally brings your rating down. All klamyor Wayne Brown 1123 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,839 Speaker 3: four point seven, that's low. I mean that sounds high, 1124 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 3: but that's low because the national average is actually four 1125 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 3: point eight eight. Dea'esn't surprise anybody that Wayne Brown's on 1126 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,560 Speaker 3: a four point seven twenty three away from six. 1127 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,959 Speaker 1: To ever due for Sea Ellen in New Zealand. 1128 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,759 Speaker 3: Has suspended all of its flights to New Maya, New 1129 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,240 Speaker 3: Caledonia until the end of September. It's because the violence 1130 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 3: still continues. Eight people have now died. Some streets over 1131 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 3: there are still barricaded by the pro independence protesters. Now 1132 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,480 Speaker 3: passengers who are booked with their New Zealand can either 1133 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 3: have their flight held in credit or they can get 1134 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 3: themselves a full refund. Brent Thomas is the chief operating 1135 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 3: officer of House of Travelers with US. 1136 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 1: Now, Hey, Brent good evening, Heather, how many people would. 1137 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,120 Speaker 3: Be traveling to New Caledonia between now and then? How 1138 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 3: many people are affected? 1139 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 13: So it's not a major destination from New Zealand such 1140 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 13: as fig or the Cook Islands. Having said that, there 1141 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 13: will be a few hundred people though, who are interrupted 1142 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,279 Speaker 13: and who are expecting to have a holiday in the 1143 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 13: sun through our winter but will no longer be able 1144 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:15,400 Speaker 13: to make it. 1145 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,640 Speaker 3: Are other airlines doing the same thing? 1146 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 13: Well, there's only air Caring who that flies there as well. 1147 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 13: So we've got a situation where we've got a lack 1148 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 13: of capacity and so people are now going to have 1149 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 13: to think about are they going to get a refund, 1150 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 13: are they going to rebook to go somewhere else? And 1151 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,280 Speaker 13: if they're rebooking to go somewhere else, places like Fiji 1152 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,320 Speaker 13: and the Cook Islands and I start filling up pretty 1153 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 13: quickly given the cold with it we're now experiencing. 1154 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 3: Do you suspect that in New Zealand may in fact 1155 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 3: be quite happy to pause the flights because if there 1156 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,719 Speaker 3: aren't that many travelers it might not be that lucrative. 1157 00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 13: Well, that's up to the airline to decide what they do. 1158 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 13: But obviously in New Zone, and it's not their fault, 1159 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 13: have got engine problems and so therefore they have got 1160 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 13: a limited capacity in terms of those aircraft. So it 1161 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 13: may be an opportunity for them to redeploy their aircraft 1162 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,560 Speaker 13: in a better environment. But that's something that the news 1163 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:04,919 Speaker 13: arms have to comment on, Brent. 1164 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 3: I mean, getting your refund on the airline is one 1165 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 3: thing and people will be stoked about that, but what 1166 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:10,840 Speaker 3: about the hotels are they refunding? 1167 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 13: Well, that's the situation that we're going to have to 1168 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 13: deal with on a case by case basis as to 1169 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 13: what people want to do and what refunds they can get, 1170 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 13: so there's no one blanket for that and we'll just 1171 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 13: have to deal with them as they come through. It's 1172 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,279 Speaker 13: obviously something that has an impact because of the Air 1173 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,840 Speaker 13: New Zealand decision, and so people will be looking to 1174 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,319 Speaker 13: work out what they can do and where can they 1175 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 13: go for their holidays. 1176 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 3: Brent, thank you very much, really appreciate your time. 1177 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:35,759 Speaker 18: Mate. 1178 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,320 Speaker 3: That's Brent Thomas, House of Travel, Chief Operating Officer. 1179 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:43,280 Speaker 2: Twenty The Huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty Unparalleled 1180 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:43,839 Speaker 2: reach and. 1181 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,360 Speaker 3: Results went away from six Trius Shirson on the huddle 1182 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 3: with us. From Shirson, Willis pr and Alie Jones read 1183 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,399 Speaker 3: pr Hello you too, Hello good Ey Tricia. You've seen 1184 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,919 Speaker 3: the announcement of the Chinese premiere visiting is a big deal. 1185 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,839 Speaker 20: I am seeing this as a big deal. I think 1186 00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 20: it's overall it's good news for New Zealand. I think 1187 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,439 Speaker 20: what it signals is the work that has been done 1188 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,120 Speaker 20: since the election to try and send a signal to 1189 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 20: the world that New Zealand is open for business. The 1190 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,560 Speaker 20: big push is to get more foreign direct investment, and 1191 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,839 Speaker 20: we know we're a very difficult place to come and 1192 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,319 Speaker 20: get investment. So I think it is a really good thing, 1193 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 20: and it is put everything else aside about China. They 1194 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,400 Speaker 20: are critical for New Zealand, not just in terms of trade, 1195 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,320 Speaker 20: but in terms of where we sit in the world. 1196 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 20: So I think it is a really important visit. 1197 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you reckon, Allie? 1198 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 21: I agree, But I think it's really interesting. You know, 1199 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 21: Trich said put everything else aside about China. I think 1200 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 21: that's the hard bit, and I'm not saying that I've 1201 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 21: got the answers and I'm not being critical of what 1202 00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 21: you said, Trish, but I think that's always in the background, 1203 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 21: the human rights Hong Kong to bet and so forth. 1204 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 3: But look, I agree with you. 1205 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 21: I think it is really important. I think it's particularly 1206 00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 21: important with what's going on in the Pacific at the moment, 1207 00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,480 Speaker 21: with New Zealand being interested in the Pillar two of 1208 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 21: the Orchest partnership. But look, you've got to have people 1209 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 21: in the tent to have good diplomatic relations, and this 1210 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 21: is a start with that. 1211 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,280 Speaker 3: Tris you were speaking about, you know, being a difficult 1212 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 3: place to invest in. Do you think we will ever 1213 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 3: see the overseas investors return to the oil and gas industry. 1214 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 20: Well, the key words I think came from your text 1215 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 20: just before we came on air that it is hard 1216 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:29,799 Speaker 20: for big overseas investors to trust New Zealand. So you know, 1217 00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,279 Speaker 20: even though this government is doing everything it can to 1218 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 20: get out and hang out the welcome sign, if I 1219 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 20: were a big overseas investor and I'm making a decision 1220 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 20: about where to put my capital, I go, well, hang on. 1221 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:47,319 Speaker 20: New Zealand's got a three year political cycle. The main 1222 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,279 Speaker 20: opposition has said, hey, as soon as it got back 1223 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,759 Speaker 20: and it would reverse this. I think it's going to 1224 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,799 Speaker 20: make it really difficult. But you know, for me, this 1225 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 20: underscores the damage that the labor government has done to 1226 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 20: our economy and it will reverb for probably decades to come. 1227 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1228 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 3: I mean it seems at the moment, Ali, I think 1229 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,280 Speaker 3: Trisha's bang on, And it seems that the only solution 1230 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,359 Speaker 3: that Shane Jones has landed on here is to offer 1231 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,959 Speaker 3: these guys really, really really long contracts. Is that enough? 1232 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:17,160 Speaker 20: Yeah? 1233 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,919 Speaker 21: But I did hear him this morning on ZB two 1234 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,759 Speaker 21: and he was talking about you know, I think Mike 1235 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 21: said to and whyn't you're doing this more quickly? And 1236 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 21: I think Shane Jones is right. You've got to give 1237 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,520 Speaker 21: the world enough time to get not get used to, 1238 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 21: but for them for the government to start to woo 1239 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,320 Speaker 21: them back. And that's probably part of it, is the 1240 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 21: length of the contracts. 1241 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 18: I mean. 1242 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 21: One thing I want to say though, is I do 1243 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 21: hope there's going to be a bit of a conversation 1244 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,400 Speaker 21: about the environment. You know, I'm not talking about that 1245 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,280 Speaker 21: one toadal that one skink, but we've got an area 1246 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 21: off our Canterbury. 1247 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 3: Coast that is a place where there's. 1248 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,319 Speaker 21: Been exploration, offshore exploration just off our coast here, and 1249 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,800 Speaker 21: unless there are really robust and well resourced emergency plans 1250 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 21: for spills or accidents, I'm really quite uncomfortable with the proposal. 1251 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 21: And is anyone thinking about that? Is anyone talking about it? 1252 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:06,239 Speaker 14: Like? 1253 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 3: Is there anything that we do other than think about 1254 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 3: the environment all the time? 1255 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:09,759 Speaker 13: Ali? 1256 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 3: Well, how many boats have we got? 1257 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 21: I remember talking about this when I was on the 1258 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,600 Speaker 21: christ Church City councilor a number of years ago, and 1259 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,560 Speaker 21: it was one of those ridiculous situations that there was 1260 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 21: one boat I think in the entire country that could 1261 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 21: fix or turn up at a spill if there was 1262 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 21: a problem. So you know, I'd like to have that conversation. 1263 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 3: So upset my timer was going that is that is 1264 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 3: that your ring tone? 1265 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 20: No, it's a timer for something. 1266 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 3: I was going to say. If that's your ring tone, 1267 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 3: it would like I would panic every time and I. 1268 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 20: Don't even know I had set but just to. 1269 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 3: Do not even remember what it was for. No, I 1270 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 3: know that's point. 1271 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 20: It's terrible, but just to cover off these points and 1272 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 20: it's sort of Germaine after the protests over the weekend. 1273 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 20: It is not a binary choice in New Zealand between 1274 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 20: progress and investment and the environment. That that's point one. 1275 00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:57,720 Speaker 3: Point two. 1276 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 20: The major damage that happened with Labour's and gas band. 1277 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,840 Speaker 20: Don't forget this. They sprung that on everyone and thought 1278 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 20: that was smart. They didn't tell the industry what was happening, 1279 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 20: and it was one They popped up one day and 1280 00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,120 Speaker 20: said you're out of here, and that was There was 1281 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 20: no consultation whatsoever. So I think that also is a 1282 00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 20: big part of why there will be a lack of trust. 1283 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 3: How long trust do you reckon before we convince the 1284 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 3: world that that government and its incompetence was an aberration. 1285 00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,680 Speaker 20: Well, I think this government's trying to do that as 1286 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 20: quickly as possible. But again it comes back to these 1287 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 20: kinds of investments are done on a sort of a 1288 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 20: thirty forty fifty year horizon to get the return back 1289 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,680 Speaker 20: from them. They need that certainty and what they won't 1290 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,920 Speaker 20: be trusted, it's hard for them to trust. We've got 1291 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 20: a short electoral cycle and we've also got a labor 1292 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 20: opposition who appear to be moving threatening to do the same, 1293 00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 20: well not only threatening to do the same, but they're 1294 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 20: getting more cooglar but going more in my view, more 1295 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,280 Speaker 20: sort of anti business and anti investment. So that's going 1296 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:07,240 Speaker 20: to make it difficult. 1297 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,160 Speaker 21: And there's just one thing there though. 1298 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 20: Look, I agree with you. 1299 00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 21: I'm all for a reasonable balance between protection of the 1300 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 21: environment and business right from the resources sector. 1301 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,200 Speaker 3: That's absolutely a given. 1302 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 21: But I do not think this has just got to 1303 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 21: be a conversation about the resources and the business and 1304 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 21: the money. We do have to think about the environment, 1305 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 21: and it's got to be a balance here. Where's the 1306 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,880 Speaker 21: conversation about making sure that our environment is going to 1307 00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:30,520 Speaker 21: be protected? 1308 00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:32,800 Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a break and Tricia's just going 1309 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,240 Speaker 3: to take a moment to try to remember what that 1310 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 3: time always for when we'll come back. Order to. 1311 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 20: Right. 1312 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 3: We're back with the hardle Trisius and Allie Jones. We've 1313 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 3: worked out so Tricia Ovens not on. 1314 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 20: Well, not to my knowledge, because I can't really work. 1315 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 3: Its running a bath and walked away from it. 1316 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 5: Now. 1317 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 20: The only thing I can think is perhaps Siri during 1318 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 20: the day has listened to me saying something and thought, oh, 1319 00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 20: I'll just pop a time. 1320 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I have to be with Heather on 1321 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 3: the radio. 1322 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 21: I thought you were buzzing me off. I thought I 1323 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,760 Speaker 21: was being voted off and I'd talked too long and 1324 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 21: there was a buzzer going. 1325 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 3: Actually, that's not about idea all introduce. That's the show. 1326 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 3: Listen Ali on really really serious and very sad subject. 1327 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 3: How are you feeling about the news that another baby 1328 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 3: has died, this time a ten month old boy in Tikawitty. 1329 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 21: Yeah, we look, it's always it's always sad and tragic, 1330 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 21: and I don't want that to sound flippant. It's just 1331 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 21: revolting and awful. We don't know what happened, and I 1332 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 21: don't want to talk about this case or allude to 1333 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 21: anything that may have happened. In fact, we shouldn't anyway, 1334 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,120 Speaker 21: because it's now being investigated. But I don't think we 1335 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,480 Speaker 21: should ever get used to any news of a baby 1336 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 21: or a toddler or a child dying. We do hear 1337 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,880 Speaker 21: about it far too often in this country, and I 1338 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 21: think we may have become a little desensitized to it 1339 01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,840 Speaker 21: because of television and social media and so forth. But yeah, 1340 01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 21: I mean, just absolutely tragic when a young child's life 1341 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 21: is taken too soon. And look, as I said, we 1342 01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 21: don't know what happened. I would rather just and hear 1343 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 21: what the Let's hope the police can actually do something 1344 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 21: with this case too, because that's the other thing. Is 1345 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 21: it going to be vexed again? 1346 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? Do you think, Trish, that we are getting used 1347 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 3: to it. 1348 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,919 Speaker 20: Here's a number for you. This in my account will 1349 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 20: be child baby fifty eight in eight years. 1350 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1351 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 20: So that is a really disgraceful number for New Zealand, 1352 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 20: and it also makes you realize why we probably have 1353 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 20: got desensitized to it, which is a terrible thing. Funny 1354 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 20: this morning, I was pulling into the garage at work 1355 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 20: and I heard this headline come on and you've just 1356 01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 20: feel that sick in the stomach, you know, you just 1357 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,960 Speaker 20: think all those every little kid in New Zealand. You 1358 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 20: want to think that at night they're warm and dry 1359 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 20: and they're being tucked in at bed in bedtime. 1360 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 3: And non scared, not scared and read a story. 1361 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 20: This is it's a real shame and it's a terrible 1362 01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 20: shame for a small town like t Equity. This will 1363 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 20: be really felt in that community. 1364 01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,160 Speaker 3: Well, I hope, so, I hope we all feel it 1365 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 3: and demand some answers out of it. Allie on politics, 1366 01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,280 Speaker 3: Tim Costley, the why CA and imp has been has 1367 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 3: been outed for driving to Wellington, staying in a flat 1368 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 3: in Wellington he owns, and then claiming the tax payer 1369 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 3: money back on that. What's he doing wrong? 1370 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:21,600 Speaker 21: He's not doing anything wrong if you look at what 1371 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 21: the rules allow. I just get the impression that they're 1372 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,800 Speaker 21: in New Zealanders and members of the media who would 1373 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,680 Speaker 21: only be happy if elective members and I mean both 1374 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 21: local and central government here got paid minimum wage and 1375 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:36,280 Speaker 21: we're just wore sackcloth and ashes to work. 1376 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 3: You know, let's just. 1377 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 21: And stuck us in the village green On through tomorrow. 1378 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,520 Speaker 3: I notice what you're saying us. You're part of the collective, 1379 01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 3: aren't you. 1380 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1381 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 21: I am, and it is. We're constantly being accused of 1382 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 21: earning too much or whatever, and it's a bloody difficult 1383 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 21: job and it takes long hours. And I don't think 1384 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:57,920 Speaker 21: it's reasonable for someone or for people to expect someone 1385 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 21: like this to commute these distances late at night and 1386 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,680 Speaker 21: starting early in the morning. For God's sake, let's been reasonable. 1387 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,520 Speaker 20: What do you think, Trisha, I think it's fair that 1388 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,919 Speaker 20: he's doing this. I wouldn't be driving late at night 1389 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,480 Speaker 20: sixty k's and I know everyone goes, oh, it's only 1390 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,840 Speaker 20: thirty minutes. Well, you know, you just don't know at 1391 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:16,920 Speaker 20: that time. 1392 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 3: Of night, it's not thirty minutes. No, it's much longer. 1393 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:20,000 Speaker 3: I like forty five. 1394 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 20: I totally, I totally agree. You know, when Rodney Hyde 1395 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 20: came into Parliament with Act this is way back in 1396 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 20: nineteen ninety six, he did the big perk busting campaign, right, 1397 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 20: and a lot of this stuff was cleaned up around 1398 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,680 Speaker 20: MP's and I think that is a is a very 1399 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,640 Speaker 20: good thing. But I pick up on Allie's point to go, 1400 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 20: we need to make sure we're focusing on the right 1401 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 20: things and not just these gotcha moments around politics, because 1402 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 20: my goodness, there's some big stuff on the radar that 1403 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,880 Speaker 20: we should all be focused on and worried about and 1404 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 20: talking about to write. 1405 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 3: Hey, very quick question for you, Ali. If somebody calls 1406 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:54,920 Speaker 3: you out of the blue and they've not arranged to 1407 01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,160 Speaker 3: call you, how do you feel about it? Do you 1408 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:57,080 Speaker 3: get cross? 1409 01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:57,720 Speaker 13: Yes? 1410 01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:59,360 Speaker 3: I do? 1411 01:03:58,520 --> 01:03:58,760 Speaker 1: I do. 1412 01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,240 Speaker 21: I need to know why someone's calling me. I mean, 1413 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 21: it depends who it is. I mean there will you know, 1414 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 21: if one of my kids calls me at an old 1415 01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 21: time and they haven't said they're going to ring or 1416 01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 21: you know, I think they're at work, Yes, I will 1417 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 21: worry about that. But but actually too, if I'm in 1418 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 21: the middle of doing something really focused and then someone 1419 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,120 Speaker 21: rings me and I'm not expecting the call, It's like. 1420 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 3: What the hell are you doing? I'm busy? 1421 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 21: So yes, it does make me a bit annoyed. 1422 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 20: Yepsh doesn't doesn't worry me. I don't I ever answer 1423 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 20: a number that I don't know. 1424 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 14: I'd always let. 1425 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,680 Speaker 20: That go through the voicemail. But from a work perspective, 1426 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,320 Speaker 20: I know that if somebody is ringing me, it's generally 1427 01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 20: generally because they need something pretty quickly. And and as 1428 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 20: a mum, if I see the kids' names come up. Well, 1429 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 20: you know, sometimes it's a call, you're you'll manage the 1430 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 20: call depending on what I'm kidding no or my husband 1431 01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 20: you know again, might triage those. But normally I find 1432 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 20: it quite useful if people want to call and you know, 1433 01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,520 Speaker 20: cut cut to stuff pretty greatly. 1434 01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,600 Speaker 3: All right, all right, thank you guys.

Why are 1446 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,320 Speaker 3: you now jumping up and down because of this bloke 1447 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,400 Speaker 3: that lives in Why can I from Sue Oh that's 1448 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 3: from Sue Comma or full stop from Sue Sue. Because 1449 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 3: Chris Luxon had an alternative, which was Premiere House, and 1450 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 3: he chose not to live there. Quite a different story. Listen. 1451 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 3: Nicola Willis is with us after six. I want to 1452 01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 3: ask her about what's going on with the EV charging network, 1453 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 3: because there are some people now saying that this could 1454 01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 3: be National's key we build, because they're probably not going 1455 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 3: to be able to build these these EV charges that 1456 01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 3: they promise. I think that's completely over the top. I mean, 1457 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,760 Speaker 3: for a start, most of us want to see houses build. 1458 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 3: That's why we care about Kiwi build. But I don't 1459 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 3: think many of us care that much about the EV 1460 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,280 Speaker 3: charges of very few of us actually own electric vehicles, 1461 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:10,880 Speaker 3: so it's not the same at all. Anyway, why I 1462 01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 3: was asking those two before about whether they take phone calls, 1463 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 3: it's because the Wall Street Journal is carrying a story 1464 01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,480 Speaker 3: about how there are a considerable number of people who 1465 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,640 Speaker 3: get really upset if you call them out of the 1466 01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,920 Speaker 3: blue without pre texting, like texting to pre arrange the 1467 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 3: phone call. They say, for some people, there is nothing 1468 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 3: more delightful than the surprise ringing of a phone that 1469 01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,040 Speaker 3: signals somebody is thinking of them. For others, there's nothing ruder, 1470 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,720 Speaker 3: more intrusive, or panic inducing than an unannounced call. You 1471 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 3: are out of your mind and possibly not in their 1472 01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,520 Speaker 3: life if you're sending them a text first. Phone call 1473 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 3: etiquette has never been more complicated. Family members, co workers' spouses, 1474 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,160 Speaker 3: and friends can't aground whether it's okay to call someone 1475 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 3: without first alerting them via text that you plan to call. 1476 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:53,520 Speaker 3: And they've got a case of a woman who works 1477 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,520 Speaker 3: in Massachusetts, director of communications for a nonprofit. She needed 1478 01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:59,280 Speaker 3: to get a work task done, so she needed to 1479 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 3: call a con a colleague really quickly. She phoned him 1480 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,560 Speaker 3: without texting or emailing first, and apparently he was extremely 1481 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 3: annoyed at her. And what it is is it's the 1482 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 3: young people because they didn't grow up with landlines, so 1483 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 3: they're not used to a phone just randomly ringing. They 1484 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 3: are the ones who think you need to text first. 1485 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 3: Robert Walters asked a question in March, asked a bunch 1486 01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 3: of people whether the phone is a productive form of 1487 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,200 Speaker 3: professional communication? And gen z Is like, of course it 1488 01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,760 Speaker 3: is right. Gen z Is who are born between ninety 1489 01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 3: seven and twenty twelve, Only sixteen percent of them thought 1490 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 3: the phone was a productive form of professional communication. Can 1491 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 3: you believe it? News Talk ZB. 1492 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,680 Speaker 1: What, what's down? 1493 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:40,280 Speaker 5: What? 1494 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,920 Speaker 2: Were the major calls and how will it affect the 1495 01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 2: economy of the big business questions on the Business Hour 1496 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 2: with the duplicy Allen and my Hr on News. 1497 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 22: Talks MB. 1498 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:54,240 Speaker 3: Even in coming up in the next hour, we're going 1499 01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,160 Speaker 3: to have a chat to fran O'Sullivan shortly on the 1500 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 3: Chinese premier's visit. One of the guys who does the 1501 01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,840 Speaker 3: nbr's list is going to be with us after half 1502 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 3: past six to talk us through the list out today 1503 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 3: and Gavin Gray out of the UK as well at 1504 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 3: seven past six and with us now we have Nikola 1505 01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,440 Speaker 3: Willis Finance Minster. Hey, Nikola, Hello, how are you? I'm 1506 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,440 Speaker 3: very well, thank you. Now, how much power does the 1507 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 3: Public Service Commission have in this investigation? 1508 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,640 Speaker 22: Well, it has powers into the Public Service Acts to 1509 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:24,559 Speaker 22: conduct independent inquiries. That means it can require information from 1510 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 22: government agencies. It can provide oversight of their decision making 1511 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:34,320 Speaker 22: and investigate what's gone on. In this case, the two 1512 01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 22: party Maori allegations, the allegations of Manae Mudrai all relate 1513 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,880 Speaker 22: to New Zealander's personal information. So the concern that we 1514 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 22: have is to ensure that government agencies have had the 1515 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:51,160 Speaker 22: proper processes in place to protect information and ensure that 1516 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 22: any potential conflicts of interest have been well managed. 1517 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,679 Speaker 3: Okay, So it can compel evidence from the government agencies, 1518 01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 3: but can it compel evidence also from other people involved 1519 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,640 Speaker 3: in these allegations, like the White pa to trust, the 1520 01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:02,639 Speaker 3: Marti Party, et cetera. 1521 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 22: No, in the first instance, you would expect that to 1522 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,600 Speaker 22: be the role of the police or the Privacy Commissioner, 1523 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:16,120 Speaker 22: who have their own coercive powers in relation to allegations 1524 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 22: that are made to them, should they. 1525 01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,040 Speaker 5: Choose to use those powers. 1526 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 22: So the reason we've got the Public Service Commissioner involved 1527 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:27,920 Speaker 22: is really that we want to make sure that we've 1528 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 22: got our own house and order as governments, which is 1529 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 22: to say, have government agencies acted appropriately? Have they had 1530 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 22: the good systems and processes? Is there any tune up 1531 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:42,519 Speaker 22: that's required at our end? What are the facts here 1532 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:46,439 Speaker 22: about what's actually gone on? Because protecting New Zealander's data 1533 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 22: goes to the heart of our democratic process and we 1534 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 22: need to make sure that if any mistakes have been 1535 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:53,400 Speaker 22: made yet, they are corrected. 1536 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 3: Okay, So this is going to look at, for example, 1537 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:58,479 Speaker 3: if MSD just naming an agency or statistics New Zealand 1538 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,679 Speaker 3: acted quickly when they were first these allegations. 1539 01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 22: Exactly, and also in the first place, when they set 1540 01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:08,839 Speaker 22: up these arrangements, did they have appropriate safeguards in place 1541 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,639 Speaker 22: for the protection of people's personal information by a third 1542 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:16,720 Speaker 22: party providers? Did the safeguards work? Are there good institutional 1543 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 22: arrangements for the way personal information is used? Was there 1544 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,720 Speaker 22: review to check that there were conflict if there were 1545 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 22: conflicts of interest where they properly managed. Those are issues 1546 01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,479 Speaker 22: that you can see matter in this case. But also 1547 01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 22: we have to be clear that if there are any 1548 01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 22: problems with processes that were fixed them for the future too. 1549 01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,760 Speaker 3: What if it was found that any of these agencies 1550 01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,680 Speaker 3: did not act properly and there's strong reason to suspect that, 1551 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:41,600 Speaker 3: what's the consequence. 1552 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:45,400 Speaker 22: Well, in the first instance, the Public Service Commissioner would 1553 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 22: be doing fact finding, fund those facts and then make 1554 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 22: recommendations for what needs to change, what went wrong and why, 1555 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 22: and then those recommendations would come to me as minister 1556 01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,160 Speaker 22: in the first instance, I would involve other ministers and 1557 01:10:59,240 --> 01:10:59,880 Speaker 22: we'd go from there. 1558 01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:01,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is a tricky thing to deal with, 1559 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:01,880 Speaker 3: isn't it. 1560 01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:06,560 Speaker 22: Well, I think we're all really conscious that there is 1561 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:09,760 Speaker 22: an independent process being run by the police and the 1562 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 22: Privacy Commissioner, and it's not appropriate for there to be 1563 01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 22: any political influence of those independent processes. At the same time, 1564 01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 22: as a government, we do have an obligation here to 1565 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,040 Speaker 22: make sure that government agencies have done the right thing. 1566 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you guys were considering what to do with this, 1567 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:26,680 Speaker 3: and I know that you guys thought about it a 1568 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 3: long time, I mean clearly you did. Right these allegations 1569 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:30,960 Speaker 3: came out more than a week ago. Did you think 1570 01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 3: about the possibility that the Marti Party could turn this 1571 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 3: into some sort of a Trumpian thing and start claiming 1572 01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:35,679 Speaker 3: a witch hunt. 1573 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 22: Well, look, we're really conscious that because this involves another 1574 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 22: political party, that we have to act really carefully to 1575 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:48,320 Speaker 22: make sure that it's not even perceived that we're acting 1576 01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:51,320 Speaker 22: on this for any political reason. That's not what is 1577 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:55,200 Speaker 22: motivating us here. What this is about as New Zealander's data, 1578 01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:59,240 Speaker 22: their personal information, and we do want NGOs, non government 1579 01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 22: organizations to be able to access that data sometimes in 1580 01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,720 Speaker 22: order to deliver good public services. But if we're going 1581 01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,800 Speaker 22: to do that, we have to be really sure it's 1582 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 22: being used appropriately and they're a good safeguards in. 1583 01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 3: Place have any official investors indicated an interest in coming 1584 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,800 Speaker 3: back to do any oil and gas work here. 1585 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,040 Speaker 22: Look, I haven't got an update on that from Minister Jones, 1586 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,360 Speaker 22: but I can tell you what he is very keen 1587 01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 22: in everything he can to make it easier for them 1588 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 22: to come back. He at the weekend, of course, announced 1589 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:32,920 Speaker 22: the reverse of the oil and gas band, but in 1590 01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 22: the bill that he's putting forward, there are other changes 1591 01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 22: to address concerns that overseas investors have had with investing 1592 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:44,080 Speaker 22: in oil and gas exploration here. That's things like the 1593 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:48,679 Speaker 22: restrictions that are emplaced on how permits are allocated, things 1594 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 22: like the decommissioning requirements and other regulatory matters which he's 1595 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,040 Speaker 22: seeking to tidy up to make it an attractive place 1596 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 22: to invest. 1597 01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:59,879 Speaker 3: He wants to reprise the nineteen seventy three Mali gas contract. 1598 01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:00,760 Speaker 3: Would you be up for that? 1599 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 22: Well, what I know is that we need gas as 1600 01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,599 Speaker 22: a transition fuel if we're going to have reliable energy supply. 1601 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 22: I don't want this to be a country where we 1602 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:17,400 Speaker 22: literally have to tell our dairy factories to stop processing 1603 01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:20,640 Speaker 22: milk because there isn't enough gas for our schools and hospitals. 1604 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 22: And that is literally, something that we are having to 1605 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 22: contemplate a cabinet at the moment is what happens when 1606 01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 22: the gas runs out. If it runs out, who are 1607 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:30,559 Speaker 22: we going to ration and who's going to be at 1608 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,439 Speaker 22: the back of the queue. That's not a way for 1609 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,720 Speaker 22: developed country to run. So we have to be very 1610 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:35,720 Speaker 22: open minded about it. 1611 01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,760 Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with you more. It's crazy that we're 1612 01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:40,679 Speaker 3: in this position. But would you be okay as going 1613 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 3: would you be up for going as far as the 1614 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 3: nineteen seventy three mile gas contract. 1615 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,639 Speaker 22: Well, I don't know anything about that contract either, so I'll. 1616 01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,560 Speaker 3: Tell you what. No, that's okay. The important thing in 1617 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:52,160 Speaker 3: the Mali gas contract is that it was for a 1618 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:54,640 Speaker 3: long time, but it also made the Crown a shareholder, 1619 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,680 Speaker 3: a stakeholder in a fifty percent owner. Would you be 1620 01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 3: up for something like. 1621 01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:01,320 Speaker 22: That, Well, I'd have to be convinced. I'd really have 1622 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,880 Speaker 22: to be convinced that that's necessary for the taxpayer to 1623 01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,639 Speaker 22: make that investment. My preference would be for the private 1624 01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:09,240 Speaker 22: sector to be making those investments. 1625 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,920 Speaker 3: Hey, how's it going with the building the ten thousand 1626 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:13,439 Speaker 3: ev charges? How many of you built? 1627 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,759 Speaker 22: We're still coming up with the perfect model there, so 1628 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:18,320 Speaker 22: is that a night. 1629 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:20,479 Speaker 3: No. 1630 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,720 Speaker 22: No, we kept money in the budget because we do 1631 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 22: think the government's got a role to play in building 1632 01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,519 Speaker 22: ev charges. The Minister of Transport is coming up with 1633 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,519 Speaker 22: a model for how we do that co investment because 1634 01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 22: obviously we want to maximize private investment. We don't want 1635 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,960 Speaker 22: the government going around building ev charges that the private 1636 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,800 Speaker 22: sector would have happily built. So we're coming up with 1637 01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,760 Speaker 22: a model there to supercharge that program. But we also 1638 01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,040 Speaker 22: have another role, which is just reducing the red tape, 1639 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:51,040 Speaker 22: the regulation, having consistent standards and working with the electricity 1640 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:55,000 Speaker 22: authority or the connection costs for most matters. So Simeon's 1641 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,439 Speaker 22: progressing that work. He'll be reputting back to Cabinet later 1642 01:14:58,479 --> 01:14:58,800 Speaker 22: this year. 1643 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,960 Speaker 3: Nicholas, what are we going to do about Ussie deportations 1644 01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,760 Speaker 3: with these guys are going to start sending people back 1645 01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,120 Speaker 3: here who have in some cases not been in the 1646 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:06,360 Speaker 3: country as adults. 1647 01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:11,920 Speaker 22: Yeah, that's right, And I find this one of those 1648 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,240 Speaker 22: really difficult issues where just on the face of it, 1649 01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,920 Speaker 22: to me, seems wrong to be deporting people to New 1650 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,839 Speaker 22: Zealand who have no connection to New Zealand, whose formative 1651 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,040 Speaker 22: experiences we're at Australia. At the same time, as I 1652 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,720 Speaker 22: think it's a disappointing approach from Australia and regressible, I 1653 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:31,720 Speaker 22: do recognize that as a sovereign country, they have the 1654 01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 22: right to implement it. 1655 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:35,000 Speaker 3: So what are we going to do about it? 1656 01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:40,320 Speaker 22: Though, Well, we're going to keep reminding the Australians off 1657 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 22: the commitments made to us, which is to apply a 1658 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 22: common sense approach to these decisions, and we're just going 1659 01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:48,679 Speaker 22: to have to keep being the flea in the area, 1660 01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,000 Speaker 22: reminding them of those commitments to us and the context 1661 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 22: of our strong and trusting relationship and expecting them to 1662 01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:55,840 Speaker 22: uphold those com up. 1663 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:57,960 Speaker 3: What about a little bit of social investment, which you're 1664 01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,360 Speaker 3: the minister of at the border right, So, realizing that 1665 01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,519 Speaker 3: a lot of these people will come here and they 1666 01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:05,000 Speaker 3: will have not enough and not enough kind of I 1667 01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,280 Speaker 3: guess income and whatever to fall back on, and will 1668 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,559 Speaker 3: therefore fool themselves into crime, maybe the social investment thing 1669 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,560 Speaker 3: to do would be to provide them with enough accommodation 1670 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 3: to kind of see them through for a few weeks, 1671 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:15,640 Speaker 3: help them find a job and stuff so they go 1672 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 3: on the straight and narrow. 1673 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,800 Speaker 22: Look, I think there's something in that heither and it 1674 01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,839 Speaker 22: is something that I think's worth talking to the relevant 1675 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 22: authorities about because, as you say, if you've got people 1676 01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,919 Speaker 22: bouncing into the country with nowhere to live, no connection 1677 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,639 Speaker 22: in their first port of call as the local gang, 1678 01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,720 Speaker 22: and that's a bad recipe for everyone involved. So it 1679 01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,719 Speaker 22: is something I'll take up with the Minister of Justice 1680 01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:42,160 Speaker 22: called Goldtsmouth and see what the thinking is there, because 1681 01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:44,280 Speaker 22: we all know five Oho one have reached a lot 1682 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 22: of havoc in our community. 1683 01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 1: Too, right they have. 1684 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,560 Speaker 3: Hey, Nicholas, thank you very much. We'll talk to you 1685 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 3: again in a week. Look after yourself. That's Nichola Willis, 1686 01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,120 Speaker 3: the Finance minister. So this is that. Let me just 1687 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 3: get you across the nineteen seventy three Mili gas contract. 1688 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,240 Speaker 3: So what's going on, as I said earlier, is that 1689 01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 3: we're not getting any nibbles from the offshore investors to 1690 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 3: come for the oil and gas expert, right, So Shane 1691 01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:03,400 Speaker 3: Jones is increasingly looking around to try and find what 1692 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 3: it is he can do to kind of get them interested. 1693 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:10,439 Speaker 3: The original nineteen seventy three Maui Gas contract made the 1694 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 3: Crown a fifty percent shareholder in the Maui field it 1695 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,600 Speaker 3: also committed to purchasing a substantial amount Like this is 1696 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,679 Speaker 3: the Crown committed to purchasing a substantial amount of gas 1697 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,519 Speaker 3: from the venture each year. Therefore they invest the new 1698 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 3: Crown's involved. It's not going to dissolve. They're going to 1699 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,960 Speaker 3: take heaps of the gas. It's a surefire thing, right this, 1700 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 3: according to Politic, is what Shane Jones is thinking of doing. 1701 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,880 Speaker 3: The trouble is he hasn't yet convinced National or Act 1702 01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,360 Speaker 3: that they need to get on board with this. Seventeen 1703 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 3: past six. 1704 01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: Crunching the numbers and getting the results. It's headed dupic 1705 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 1: Ellen with. 1706 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 2: The Business Hours thanks to my HR, the HR platform 1707 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker 2: for SME on NEWSTALKSB. 1708 01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:49,559 Speaker 3: Just a reminder, we're going to talk about the NMBR 1709 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,640 Speaker 3: rich list in about fifteen minutes time.

It's the first time since twenty seventeen. 1712 01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 3: We spoke to Trade Minister Tod McLay about it. Earlier 1713 01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 3: and right now in Zidney's Business commentator Frano Sullivan's with us. 1714 01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:06,200 Speaker 3: Hello friend, good evening. How significant do you think this is? 1715 01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,680 Speaker 5: Well, it's very significant us for the very reason you 1716 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,920 Speaker 5: said there hasn't been a visit for a very long time. 1717 01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 5: More particularly, I mean really really he's coming here because 1718 01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,759 Speaker 5: he's also going to Australia and you know, essentially they've 1719 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:24,559 Speaker 5: warmed that relationship up a bit now and the coercive 1720 01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:28,519 Speaker 5: behavior that China was exhibiting towards Australia has pretty much stopped. 1721 01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 5: Normal trade has resumed and that's been something which has 1722 01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,960 Speaker 5: happened under alban Easy. We haven't had anything like that 1723 01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:41,759 Speaker 5: in our own relationship with China. We've been quite careful, 1724 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,920 Speaker 5: we do. Over the last few years we've taken a 1725 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 5: much more robust approach and talked more openly about the 1726 01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:54,519 Speaker 5: things that concern New Zealand resum of China's behavior for 1727 01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:59,640 Speaker 5: instance in the South China Sea and more recently, you know, 1728 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:05,120 Speaker 5: issues around Aucus where essentially the government and is sort 1729 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,160 Speaker 5: of has taken the view that it will make its 1730 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,920 Speaker 5: own mind what does in New Zealand security interests and 1731 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:14,040 Speaker 5: so it's much more plain speaking now and it's taken 1732 01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:17,519 Speaker 5: China a while to get used to that, and you 1733 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 5: know it's going to be interesting. I'm picking it will 1734 01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,080 Speaker 5: be a pretty constructive visit though. I mean, you know 1735 01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:24,439 Speaker 5: they'll have. 1736 01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,760 Speaker 3: One of the things round that we need more than 1737 01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,719 Speaker 3: anything right now, is investment in this country. 1738 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:28,880 Speaker 13: Right. 1739 01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,519 Speaker 3: Is there a direct line between somebody like him turning 1740 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,360 Speaker 3: up and businesses in China seeing yep, it's a stable 1741 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:36,160 Speaker 3: relationship and therefore investing in us. 1742 01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 5: Well, I think that that is very much part of it, 1743 01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,800 Speaker 5: and there will be business optimism as a result of this. 1744 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:48,439 Speaker 5: It's not so much China investing in here, it's more 1745 01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,200 Speaker 5: China buying our goods. That's a big thing. We do 1746 01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:56,240 Speaker 5: actually have substantial Chinese investment in New Zealand, and a 1747 01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 5: lot of the Chinese investment is sort of staying home 1748 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:02,080 Speaker 5: at the moment because things have been pretty pinched there 1749 01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,080 Speaker 5: and people have got over stretched with some of the 1750 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 5: large companies, so you know, that sort of hauled back 1751 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,639 Speaker 5: of it. And one of the things China does want 1752 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,680 Speaker 5: is much more streamline investment. It will want to know, 1753 01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 5: for instance, you know how the government would apply a 1754 01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:20,799 Speaker 5: security lens to any application by a major China company 1755 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:24,559 Speaker 5: to practice come on here, be involved with energy or whatever, 1756 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 5: something which could significantly have a major impact in New Zealand. 1757 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 5: So these are the things that behind scenes we talked about, 1758 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 5: but we do expect the comprehensive strategic partnership will be 1759 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:42,040 Speaker 5: upgraded than the movements on services trade trying wants faster 1760 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 5: visa entry. I mean it's painfully slow and it's actually 1761 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:50,519 Speaker 5: hindering tourism and New Zealand as well. So there's a 1762 01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:54,320 Speaker 5: range of things. But after a very long time, and 1763 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:58,240 Speaker 5: also after having had the COVID period as well, it's 1764 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 5: good to get this going two right, there's a lot 1765 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:05,760 Speaker 5: out there is no is the Pacific and be part 1766 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,560 Speaker 5: of that. Well, yeah, I think you know, hopefully the 1767 01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,760 Speaker 5: spy is a few more years. 1768 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, dialogue is better than no dialogue.

To the point hither, 1778 01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,880 Speaker 3: I'm not anti gas, but it's not the only solution. 1779 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:41,360 Speaker 3: We shouldn't sync everything into unfavorable contracts with gas companies 1780 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,600 Speaker 3: when other solutions do exist. People need to let go 1781 01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 3: of their emotional attachment to gas and ensure that we're 1782 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,720 Speaker 3: actually taking a future focused approach. What are the other options? 1783 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 3: What are they? What do you want to We want 1784 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,640 Speaker 3: solar power on everybody's roofs. I mean what, let go 1785 01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,959 Speaker 3: of the emotional attachment to gas. I'm not an emotional 1786 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,920 Speaker 3: attachment to gas. I've got an emotional attachment to the 1787 01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:06,280 Speaker 3: power being on Hoteya as a deeply emotional attachment that 1788 01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:10,719 Speaker 3: I've got deeply emotionally attached to lights, charging my cell 1789 01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,400 Speaker 3: phone and also I don't know the heating in the 1790 01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,600 Speaker 3: middle of winter. You text me back when we have 1791 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,439 Speaker 3: the first blackout this winter, and then we can have 1792 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 3: a little cord it all about that, because that's going 1793 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 3: to be directly related to the shortage of gas, and 1794 01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,680 Speaker 3: then we'll see how you feel about your emotional attachment 1795 01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,200 Speaker 3: to gas. By the way, on the MBR list, turns 1796 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:31,439 Speaker 3: out the NBR was underestimating the Mobray family's wealth for 1797 01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 3: a really long time. They thought that the Mobray family 1798 01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,920 Speaker 3: were worth just three billion dollars and then they did 1799 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:38,720 Speaker 3: an interview with them in the last year or so 1800 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:42,160 Speaker 3: when Nick Mowbray was like, hot, our annual revenue is 1801 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,320 Speaker 3: three billion dollars and so they're like, oh, now, we 1802 01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:48,639 Speaker 3: estimate them at twenty billion dollars. And even then they 1803 01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,680 Speaker 3: think that they might be underestimating the mobra's wealth at 1804 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,640 Speaker 3: twenty billion dollars. So anyway, we're going to talk to 1805 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 3: one of the guys. It's a really fraught thing putting 1806 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:57,920 Speaker 3: this list together. There's a lot of guesswork and stuff. 1807 01:22:58,040 --> 01:22:59,599 Speaker 3: Talk to the one of the guys who was responsible 1808 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,840 Speaker 3: for putting the list together. He'll be with us after 1809 01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:04,240 Speaker 3: the headlines, which are coming up shortly. 1810 01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:04,519 Speaker 5: Now. 1811 01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,680 Speaker 3: I've got some good news and some bad news for Aucklanders. 1812 01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 3: If you're being naughty with your recycling, you run the 1813 01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:13,720 Speaker 3: risk now of getting your bin taken away from your 1814 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:16,240 Speaker 3: Auckland Council's gone public with it and they say, if 1815 01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:20,680 Speaker 3: you are regularly contaminating your recycling, then they're going to 1816 01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 3: take you bin away. That's the bad news. The good 1817 01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 3: news is are ever going to take you bad away? 1818 01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,720 Speaker 3: Because get a load of this right, They're going to 1819 01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,360 Speaker 3: give you three warnings. So obviously if you're doing this, 1820 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,599 Speaker 3: when you get your first warning, you stop right you 1821 01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,840 Speaker 3: just push it as far as you possibly can. And 1822 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 3: then when they give you your first warning, immediately you 1823 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:38,600 Speaker 3: stop and you start playing by the rules. Then you 1824 01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 3: be absolutely fine. But even better, not only are they 1825 01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,600 Speaker 3: giving you three warnings, but that's after they've given you 1826 01:23:44,640 --> 01:23:47,599 Speaker 3: an education period, so they're going to educate you first. 1827 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 3: So that's basically four warnings because presumably they're going to 1828 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,479 Speaker 3: put like a I don't know, like a sticker on 1829 01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:54,880 Speaker 3: your bin and be like, hey, this is how you recycle, 1830 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 3: or maybe they'll send somebody around to your house to 1831 01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,160 Speaker 3: have a chat with you about recycling. As you get 1832 01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,920 Speaker 3: tapes of warning, heapes of warning, hepes and heat, and 1833 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 3: if all of that fails, then you can always use 1834 01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 3: the excuse that you were the good person. But then 1835 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,400 Speaker 3: you put your bin out on Tuesday night, somebody must 1836 01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 3: have chucked something in there before the guys arrived on 1837 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,400 Speaker 3: Wednesday morning.

They've never taken 1897 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 23: a loan from the bank, and they've never raised any 1898 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,240 Speaker 23: external capital either. They've just the whole time, they've just 1899 01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 23: any profit they've made, they've reinvested it back in the 1900 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,200 Speaker 23: business and they've managed to make this just an incredible 1901 01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,800 Speaker 23: machine that's tuning out money somebody. 1902 01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 3: Was saying to me that they've got an ambition like 1903 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,320 Speaker 3: something crazy, like being the next Microsoft of that.

So we have them at three 1907 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 23: billion dollars revenue this year as a group, and Nick 1908 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,080 Speaker 23: was telling us in an interview the other week that 1909 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,120 Speaker 23: he wants to hit ten billion revenue in the next 1910 01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,360 Speaker 23: five years. That's so a long way off some of 1911 01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:41,280 Speaker 23: those companies, but you know, given how quickly they've grown 1912 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:43,680 Speaker 23: and how big they are already, you can it's hard 1913 01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:44,719 Speaker 23: to bet against them at the moment. 1914 01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,799 Speaker 3: When you heard him say to you that the revenue 1915 01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,600 Speaker 3: was going to be three billion a year, did that 1916 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 3: shock you because you guys only had their value at 1917 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:52,760 Speaker 3: three billion. 1918 01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:56,800 Speaker 23: Yeah, it did we. I mean, they're a privately hard 1919 01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 23: company that we've never really got the sort of an 1920 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,720 Speaker 23: site that Nick gave us the other week in that 1921 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,400 Speaker 23: interview he did with us. I think they're at a 1922 01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,240 Speaker 23: point now where, you know, most people know them as 1923 01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:10,240 Speaker 23: the toy company, and that's a two billion dollars a 1924 01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,840 Speaker 23: year business now, but they've also expanded and expanding into 1925 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:17,200 Speaker 23: these other areas So they've got the consumer products company, 1926 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 23: which is things like Rascals nappies. They're making billions of 1927 01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 23: nappies a year, Monday, haircare products like that. So that 1928 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:26,320 Speaker 23: is now recording a billion dollars of revenue in a year, 1929 01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:29,280 Speaker 23: and just in just six years it's grown to that size. 1930 01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 23: And now they're taking on automating the construction of property. 1931 01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 23: They've bought a twenty five acre factory in China. They're 1932 01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 23: starting to build test houses. The first ones of those 1933 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 23: should be up end of this year, early next year. 1934 01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 23: And you know, if they tackle housing and can do 1935 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 23: it cheaper and more affordably across the world than who know, 1936 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 23: it's how big they can get. 1937 01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:49,719 Speaker 3: Are they just really clever? 1938 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:53,639 Speaker 23: I think they're really clever. I think they are really 1939 01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:56,920 Speaker 23: driven and ambitious, and they're the sort of people who 1940 01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:01,000 Speaker 23: don't take no, you know, are happy to figure out 1941 01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,600 Speaker 23: how to do things their own way. I mean the 1942 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 23: way Nick talks about the processes that they've built. Every 1943 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,599 Speaker 23: single component in the factories that they have has been 1944 01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:13,919 Speaker 23: built in house. They just are so precise on everything 1945 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,599 Speaker 23: and how they put everything together. And I think that 1946 01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:20,280 Speaker 23: level of attention to detail and care just goes to 1947 01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,719 Speaker 23: show how they've got to where they are now. 1948 01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 3: Some of the businesses that you have had looked at 1949 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,800 Speaker 3: look at on this rich list thinking about how to 1950 01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,840 Speaker 3: transfer their wealth to the next generation. Is there necessarily 1951 01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 3: a next generation there? 1952 01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:35,599 Speaker 23: Yeah, and a lot of the family So we have 1953 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:39,320 Speaker 23: one hundred and nine people profiled on the list this year, 1954 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:41,919 Speaker 23: and more than half of them are classified as families 1955 01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:44,719 Speaker 23: rather than just individuals. And a lot of those families 1956 01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,840 Speaker 23: have been there for a long time and they're sort 1957 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,240 Speaker 23: of onto their third or fourth generation of ownership within 1958 01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 23: the family of the family business. But then they've also 1959 01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:56,200 Speaker 23: got other examples. S Mark de Naichek and his partner 1960 01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:58,640 Speaker 23: Dorothy Spots with Dan and Wellington. They're donating all of 1961 01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:01,080 Speaker 23: their fortune, which we esumate about four hundred and fifty 1962 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 23: million dollars to the Nico Foundation in Wellington to giveaway. 1963 01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,240 Speaker 23: You've got Sukataki family who we've made newcomers this year. 1964 01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:11,400 Speaker 23: They came over from Japan about fifteen years ago. They've 1965 01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:15,080 Speaker 23: got their still investment Vehicle which has an ambition to 1966 01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 23: invest in one hundred New Zealand companies over the next 1967 01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,360 Speaker 23: ten to twenty years. And all of those companies and 1968 01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:22,559 Speaker 23: ideas that they want to invest in are all about 1969 01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:25,120 Speaker 23: one hundred year timeframes and horizons as well. So this 1970 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 23: is thinking regardless of government, regardless of policies, all sorts 1971 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:31,200 Speaker 23: of stuff. What sort of ideas, what sort of businesses 1972 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:34,040 Speaker 23: can we back that will have intergenerational effects? 1973 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,200 Speaker 3: Interesting stuff? And will there be an impact do you 1974 01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,200 Speaker 3: think on I don't know, the property market, things like that. 1975 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:41,640 Speaker 3: As this money passes from generation to generation. 1976 01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 23: Well that's the big thing, and that's what everyone is 1977 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 23: thinking about globally as well. It's estimated that there's US 1978 01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,439 Speaker 23: ninety trillion dollars of assets to pass down from the 1979 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:53,160 Speaker 23: baby boomer generation to the next generation over the next 1980 01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:55,960 Speaker 23: ten to twenty years. And you know, if you are 1981 01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,160 Speaker 23: below the Baby Boom generation or even younger than that, 1982 01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,439 Speaker 23: and then you're your parents or your grandparents have built 1983 01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:04,680 Speaker 23: up all this wealth and they suddenly hand it to you. 1984 01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:06,320 Speaker 23: What are you going to do with it? Are you 1985 01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 23: going to put it into property? Are you going to 1986 01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:10,880 Speaker 23: stop working? Are you going to invest it? This sort 1987 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:12,880 Speaker 23: of creates all sorts of questions about how people are 1988 01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:14,320 Speaker 23: going to handle this and what it means for the 1989 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:16,200 Speaker 23: future of work and property and things like that. 1990 01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:18,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, very interesting, Hamish, thank you for your time, appreciating 1991 01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,799 Speaker 3: well done on the list. That's Hamish McNichol, mbr CO editor. 1992 01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,200 Speaker 3: All right, get a load of this. Something funny going 1993 01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:28,439 Speaker 3: on in christ Church re Hornby's new library and indoor 1994 01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:31,160 Speaker 3: pool complex. Now this thing has only been open for 1995 01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:32,680 Speaker 3: seven weeks, so let's round it up. You say a 1996 01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:34,599 Speaker 3: couple of months, right, and the council won't say it's 1997 01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:37,200 Speaker 3: be open, it's built, it's there. And if you go 1998 01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:38,519 Speaker 3: to the council you say how much did that cost? 1999 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:40,560 Speaker 3: They got not going to tell you, not going to 2000 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 3: tell you for a year. Why the secret where hell? 2001 01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:47,559 Speaker 3: Back in twenty seventeen, the original budget was thirty four 2002 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,040 Speaker 3: million dollars, but then it blew out to thirty nine 2003 01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:54,080 Speaker 3: point nine million dollars, so it's basically forty from thirty 2004 01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,960 Speaker 3: four to forty. And then in November twenty twenty two 2005 01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,559 Speaker 3: the council decided to increase the budget even more than 2006 01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:01,840 Speaker 3: the forty million dollars, but they didn't say by how much. 2007 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,479 Speaker 3: And then last week they were asked again because it 2008 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:06,240 Speaker 3: has been like more than eighteen months, like how much 2009 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,519 Speaker 3: are you gon in? Like how much is it up? By, 2010 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:11,439 Speaker 3: and again they didn't want to say. They say it's 2011 01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,000 Speaker 3: a secret, and it's going to be a secret for 2012 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 3: another year until the twelve month defect liability period is up. Now, 2013 01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 3: it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that 2014 01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,000 Speaker 3: the most likely reason that they're keeping it a secret 2015 01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:23,120 Speaker 3: is blown out by a huge amount of money, isn't it. 2016 01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:25,240 Speaker 3: And if people found out right now, they're going to 2017 01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,560 Speaker 3: flip their lids. And so maybe the best things to 2018 01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:30,040 Speaker 3: is keep it a secret until people have all used 2019 01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:32,479 Speaker 3: the Hornby Library and in Dogpool Complex and then they 2020 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,200 Speaker 3: love it like, oh, it's worth it's worth paying huge 2021 01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:37,960 Speaker 3: amount of money for it. The clue as to how 2022 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:42,000 Speaker 3: much it does cost is back in November twenty twenty two, 2023 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,559 Speaker 3: when they decided that they would increase the budget. A 2024 01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,320 Speaker 3: couple of days after that decision, the council published a 2025 01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:50,040 Speaker 3: meeting agenda so long that it stretched to four hundred 2026 01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:52,880 Speaker 3: and ninety four pages, and in it, on page two 2027 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,920 Speaker 3: hundred and forty, they said the cost was now forty 2028 01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:00,640 Speaker 3: six point nine million dollars. And then they said, oh, whoopsie, no, 2029 01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,840 Speaker 3: that shouldn't have been in there. It's not quite correct, 2030 01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:07,719 Speaker 3: not quite correct, but let's just use that as a clue. 2031 01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:11,160 Speaker 3: So it went from thirty four to forty and now 2032 01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:13,679 Speaker 3: it's forty seven. Not quite correct. 2033 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:13,800 Speaker 1: Now. 2034 01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,479 Speaker 3: I don't have a problem necessarily with a cost blowout. 2035 01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:19,080 Speaker 3: These things happen. Just have a real problem with counsels 2036 01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:21,519 Speaker 3: being sneaky and thinking rate payers don't deserve to know 2037 01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:24,639 Speaker 3: what's going on. Sort it out, christ Church, you work 2038 01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:28,520 Speaker 3: for the rate payers, Tell the rate payers quarter two. 2039 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,679 Speaker 2: Whether it's macro micro or just plain economics. It's all 2040 01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 2: on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, Allen and my HR, 2041 01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,800 Speaker 2: the HR platform for SME used talksp. 2042 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,360 Speaker 3: Gavin Gray are UK correspondents with US now even in 2043 01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:45,760 Speaker 3: Gavin Hier have what do you reckon? Has caused the 2044 01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:47,640 Speaker 3: swing to the right in the European elections. 2045 01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:52,040 Speaker 24: Look, I think migration is a massive factor for many 2046 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:56,480 Speaker 24: in Europe. They've seen hundreds of thousands of the asylum 2047 01:33:56,479 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 24: seekers come across from Northern Africa, but also from other 2048 01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:04,320 Speaker 24: places around the world where perhaps you wouldn't expect asylum 2049 01:34:04,320 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 24: seekers to claim the need to move from. But I 2050 01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:09,519 Speaker 24: think that's behind a lot of it. I think there's 2051 01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:12,080 Speaker 24: dissatisfaction at the sort of way in which the EU 2052 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,880 Speaker 24: Parliament is operating, in the way it's run and what 2053 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:18,080 Speaker 24: it's achieving. It seemed by some to be rather sluggish 2054 01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:24,759 Speaker 24: in responding to massive topics like immigration, but also cybersecurity, trade, 2055 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:27,920 Speaker 24: the response to the pandemic I didn't think was particularly clever, 2056 01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:31,960 Speaker 24: and so this has been a massive story overnight. Here 2057 01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:34,639 Speaker 24: the four day vote came to an end. The big 2058 01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:39,320 Speaker 24: headline comes from France, where the far right National Rally 2059 01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:44,320 Speaker 24: Party really trounced Emmanuel Matcron's party, the President's Party, with 2060 01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:47,800 Speaker 24: more than double the number of votes to Marine La 2061 01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:51,840 Speaker 24: Penn's National Rally. But also really the European Parliament now 2062 01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:56,439 Speaker 24: see a big strengthening of the right wing center right parties, 2063 01:34:57,040 --> 01:35:01,160 Speaker 24: with victories in Germany, Greece, poland Spain, big advances in 2064 01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:05,160 Speaker 24: Hungary against the long dominant Victor Auburn, the Prime Minister. 2065 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:08,679 Speaker 24: There So the twenty seven countries all voting across these 2066 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 24: four days at the center right will now command one 2067 01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:14,880 Speaker 24: hundred and eighty four seats from the seven hundred and 2068 01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:16,680 Speaker 24: twenty seat European Parliament. 2069 01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:19,400 Speaker 1: The far right, the far right. 2070 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,040 Speaker 24: Didn't enjoy the big surge that had been predicted by 2071 01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:26,839 Speaker 24: some in the Netherlands, the anti Islam populist Wilda's Freedom 2072 01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:33,200 Speaker 24: Party came second, not first, but Germany's opposition Conservatives well 2073 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,559 Speaker 24: always going to come out top. They scored a thirty 2074 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:40,320 Speaker 24: percent of the vote. But the Chancellor Olaf Schultz's SPD 2075 01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,799 Speaker 24: party had the worst ever result in a European election. 2076 01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:49,120 Speaker 24: It came third behind the far right alternative for Alternative 2077 01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:52,840 Speaker 24: for Germany the AfD party. In Spain, the center right 2078 01:35:53,040 --> 01:35:57,120 Speaker 24: opposition Popular Party defeated the Prime Minister Georgia Moloney. In 2079 01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:00,280 Speaker 24: Italy she strengthened her hand with a very good vote 2080 01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 24: for her, and in Austria the far right Freedom Party 2081 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:07,240 Speaker 24: on course for a narrow but unprecedented victory. In the 2082 01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 24: European vote, wherever you look, there are some surprising results. 2083 01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,360 Speaker 24: Perhaps not the big night the far right wanted, but 2084 01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:15,960 Speaker 24: a very good night for the center right and right 2085 01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:16,679 Speaker 24: wing generally. 2086 01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:19,120 Speaker 3: Do you think mcran's making a mistake calling the snap. 2087 01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:22,600 Speaker 24: Election, Well, I have to say he loves stealing a 2088 01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 24: bit of the Lime Knight in the European Union and 2089 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:29,000 Speaker 24: amongst European parliaments. So as you know, before the votes 2090 01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:34,080 Speaker 24: were counted, he suddenly announced with this idea that Marine 2091 01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:38,360 Speaker 24: Le Penn's National Party was doing extremely well that he 2092 01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:41,200 Speaker 24: would call a snap election. Now it takes place. There 2093 01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,560 Speaker 24: are two rounds of voting in France, the thirtieth of 2094 01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:46,600 Speaker 24: June the seventh of July, and yes, you're right, that 2095 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 24: is just a few days before the Paris Olympics. And 2096 01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:54,799 Speaker 24: it looks like, I mean, his party was absolutely trounced. 2097 01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,160 Speaker 24: But is he right to call an election. It's been 2098 01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:59,960 Speaker 24: a stunning surprise for everyone. I mean, he could have 2099 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,840 Speaker 24: just toughed it out. He is still president for another 2100 01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,960 Speaker 24: couple of years, but he has now lost his majority 2101 01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,600 Speaker 24: in the French Parliament. He could have just tried to 2102 01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:11,880 Speaker 24: tough it out and carry on. We've got the Euros coming, 2103 01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:13,720 Speaker 24: we've got the Olympics coming. He would have been in 2104 01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:18,440 Speaker 24: the spotlight if both go well for France, and spotlight 2105 01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,320 Speaker 24: for all the good reasons. But he's taken this huge 2106 01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:25,840 Speaker 24: risk and now faces well, frankly, getting things very very 2107 01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:28,599 Speaker 24: difficult to get any bill through the National Assembly already 2108 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:32,000 Speaker 24: a struggle, but now losing that majority. It really is 2109 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:36,920 Speaker 24: an explosive, potentially explosive decision to make, and who knows, 2110 01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,960 Speaker 24: perhaps in the not too distant future, we might see 2111 01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:44,200 Speaker 24: Prime Minister Marine la Penn for the National Rally Party, 2112 01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:45,920 Speaker 24: the far right party in France. 2113 01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:48,680 Speaker 3: Very interesting stuff, Kevin, thank you so much. Always appreciate it. 2114 01:37:48,680 --> 01:37:50,360 Speaker 3: We'll check you in a couple of days. It's Devin Gray, 2115 01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:53,880 Speaker 3: our UK correspondent. Didn't have time to talk Togevin about 2116 01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:57,400 Speaker 3: the one hundred one hundred mili liter you know, thingy 2117 01:37:57,400 --> 01:37:59,800 Speaker 3: thin thing that you're allowed to the restrictions coming back 2118 01:37:59,840 --> 01:38:02,240 Speaker 3: in about six of the regional airports over in the UCAP. 2119 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,200 Speaker 3: I've got something else for you on what you should 2120 01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:06,360 Speaker 3: be aware of with your luggage. This is from a 2121 01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:09,439 Speaker 3: worker at Dublin. At Dublin Airport, if you're one of 2122 01:38:09,439 --> 01:38:11,439 Speaker 3: those people who likes to tie like a little yellow 2123 01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 3: ribbon or a little pink ribbon or something to the 2124 01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:15,960 Speaker 3: handle in order to be able to see your bag 2125 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,920 Speaker 3: from whoo over there, there's my bag, there's my rabbin. 2126 01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:21,919 Speaker 3: Don't do it. It can interfere with the airport's automatic 2127 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:25,400 Speaker 3: scanning systems and cause delays. Delays are the best case scenario. 2128 01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:27,320 Speaker 3: For your worst case scenarios, your bag just doesn't make 2129 01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:30,320 Speaker 3: it onto the plane at all. That would not be great. Also, 2130 01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:33,639 Speaker 3: this I think would apply to a very small group 2131 01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:38,720 Speaker 3: of people. Don't put Marsipan in your luggage because Marsipan's 2132 01:38:38,760 --> 01:38:42,880 Speaker 3: density is similar to some explosives. Very small group of 2133 01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:44,200 Speaker 3: people seven away from seven. 2134 01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:48,679 Speaker 2: Whether it's Macro MicroB or just Plaine economics, it's all 2135 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:52,360 Speaker 2: on The Business Hour with Heather Duplicy Allen and my HR, 2136 01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,280 Speaker 2: the HR platform for sme used talksp. 2137 01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:59,120 Speaker 3: There are benefits to having a German producer on the show, 2138 01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:02,840 Speaker 3: who we lovingly refer to as the German or alternatively 2139 01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:05,880 Speaker 3: the German producer or things like that, just so that 2140 01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:07,800 Speaker 3: you are aware that I'm working with the German, which 2141 01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:09,479 Speaker 3: is why this show is as efficient as it is 2142 01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:12,920 Speaker 3: and always, you know, like on point, because nobody works 2143 01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,120 Speaker 3: as hard as a German. Anyway, there are benefits to 2144 01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:17,600 Speaker 3: having a German producer on this show because she is 2145 01:39:17,680 --> 01:39:20,240 Speaker 3: the only person in my life how I can talk 2146 01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:23,000 Speaker 3: to about the beauty of a marspan. A marsa pan 2147 01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,360 Speaker 3: is a wonderful thing. But also then we can expand 2148 01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,880 Speaker 3: the conversation to the Marsipan being the best bit of 2149 01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:30,599 Speaker 3: the Stoalin, you know what I mean. And then because 2150 01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:33,080 Speaker 3: I was complaining as Stalin is a very boring thing 2151 01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:35,679 Speaker 3: unless you've got If you don't know what I'm talking about, 2152 01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:37,640 Speaker 3: that's because you don't have a German producer and you 2153 01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:39,439 Speaker 3: need to start googling this stuff and you need to 2154 01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:42,000 Speaker 3: introduce is this a Christmas thing? You need to introduce 2155 01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:44,519 Speaker 3: this to your Christmas Okay. But I was complaining to 2156 01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:47,280 Speaker 3: her because I was saying, I need my Marsipan doll 2157 01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:50,360 Speaker 3: up within my stalin to be massive, and if it isn't, 2158 01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,639 Speaker 3: I just this boring. Why am I eating that much bread? 2159 01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:55,200 Speaker 3: And then she changed my life and she said, you 2160 01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:58,479 Speaker 3: do put lots and lots and lots of butter on 2161 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:00,320 Speaker 3: your stalin, don't you? And I was, it's like, what 2162 01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:01,000 Speaker 3: am I? 2163 01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:01,400 Speaker 1: What? 2164 01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:05,639 Speaker 3: So now having gone, I've literally gone. I literally threw 2165 01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:07,760 Speaker 3: my mum's Christmas stollin away the other day. I was like, 2166 01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:09,680 Speaker 3: I don't want to eat this boring bread nonsense. But 2167 01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:11,920 Speaker 3: now I'm going to go and hunt out of stalin 2168 01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:13,519 Speaker 3: in the middle of the year and I'm going to 2169 01:40:13,560 --> 01:40:15,880 Speaker 3: put butter all over it because I need to experience this. 2170 01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:17,400 Speaker 3: You want something, you want to share it with me? 2171 01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:19,920 Speaker 3: Am I not going to fight do our daily bread? 2172 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:21,479 Speaker 3: Not do it in the middle of the winter.
