It's got 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: the how big can it be? Type of vibe about it. 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: Radio New Zealand ranner what you Need to Know feature 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: kind of like the stories you see ahead of the 15 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: All Blacks and the Warriors games.

A god, 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: of course is not on the striker's side today, with 18 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: a very bad day for a lot of the country. 19 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: Is the much hyped second Front rolls over the nation. 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: It's always a test of resilience. I think isn't it 21 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: resilience and determination the weather? Can you be bothered striking 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: and being wet? How much this does the ink on 23 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: your placard run? Stuff like that, ACC, of course, are 24 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 2: the posted child of public service dysfunction, which does raise 25 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: the question are they hopeless because of lack of funding 26 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: or are they just hopeless? They've had reports into them. 27 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: One said it was a gossipye culture. All I know 28 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: is there billions in the red and there doesn't seem 29 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: to be a very obvious novert turn around plan. What 30 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: I also know is the strike, of course, will achieve 31 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: nothing except there will be more to do on Friday, 32 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: unless you're a teacher who's having a teacher only day, 33 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: which means there'll be more to do on Tuesday. ACC 34 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: strikers don't like the work from home rules, which are 35 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: down to two a week. Of course pre COVID there 36 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: were none a week, which simply shows how quickly slack 37 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: habits form. They also argue, and this is the teachers 38 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 2: and the nurses as well as ACC, that they should 39 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 2: be offered more money to cover inflation. Now I've got 40 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: no idea where all this has come from. Work is 41 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: about value, not the economics of the day payers based 42 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: on output and demand and revenue covering inflation is simply 43 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: cost plus accounting. It's doing the same thing for ever 44 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: more amounts of money. Follow that to its logical conclusion, 45 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: and everyone's broke. But overall, ACC staff seemed miserable, and 46 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: that's no state to be. We all have good days 47 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: and bad days of work, of course we do. But 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: ultimately work should be fun. It should be challenging, it 49 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: should be surprising, It should be enriching and rewarding. ACC 50 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: seems like none of that, and a strike will solve 51 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: none of that. 52 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: News of the world in ninety seconds. 53 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: Are missing in Britain right now, the government gang grooming 54 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: inquiries and crisis as any number of inquiry members quit. 55 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: These two individuals, mister Speaker, have spent decades decades are 56 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: standing up for those who have been abused. I'm sexually 57 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: exploited and I absolutely think they're the right people to 58 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 4: take this fall raveling. 59 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 5: She doesn't have more experience than the survivors. The fact is, 60 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 5: just a few weeks ago he was standing there telling 61 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 5: us he had full confidence in the best friend of 62 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 5: a convicted pedophile. So it is no surprise that people 63 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 5: have no confidence in what he is saying. 64 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: This bloke is one of the people who pulled down. 65 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 6: Signed in protest at the political interference with the developing 66 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 6: child Exploitation and Online Protection Center. I didn't stay, I 67 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 6: didn't remain quiet. I didn't go along to get along 68 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 6: to make sure that I'd get a gong or something else. 69 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 2: Meantime, and called a fifteen year old who have killed 70 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: another kid at school at lunchtime is off to the 71 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: big house. 72 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 7: The minimum term which I impose in your case is fifteen 73 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 7: years and one hundred and six days. There is no 74 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 7: guarantee that you will in fact be released at the 75 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 7: end of that period. 76 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 2: The in state side news from the Varnce family vance 77 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: I the VP still's breaking peace in the Middle East. 78 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 8: We have a very very tough task ahead of us, 79 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 8: which is to disarm the mass, but rebuild Gaza, to 80 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 8: make a life better for the people in Gaza, but 81 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 8: also to ensure that their mass is no longer spread 82 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 8: to our friends. 83 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: Is meantime Varnce two, who's JD's heart brother. He's running 84 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: for maya of Cincinnati, where the police chief has just 85 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: been stood down. 86 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 9: One of the biggest things we have to do is 87 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 9: simply allow the to do their job. You know, this 88 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 9: litigation that's happening between the police chief and the mayor 89 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 9: is happening because we're seeing trickle down in confidence from 90 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 9: the mayor's office. That's basically tying the hands of our officer. 91 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: Finally, Google has developed the next step beyond the supercomputer 92 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: while we gots the quantum computer, which by the way, 93 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,679 Speaker 2: is the brainchild of one of the nobil A Prize 94 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: winners the other day. He designed the algorithm. It allows 95 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: the quantum to perform thirteen thousand times faster than a 96 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: regular computer. Quantum computer is still about five years away, 97 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: they say. Google thinks though, they will be able to 98 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 2: create unique data to feed into the AI models to 99 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: make them more powerful. So when you can get one 100 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: at Harvey Norman, I'll let you know. Meantime, that's news 101 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: of the world in nineteen Japan. What can I tell you? 102 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: Exports four point two percent. Semiconductor exports were a big 103 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 2: part of that picture. Imports up three point three percent. 104 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: I think that's reasonable. Meantime, the UK inflation you think 105 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: ours is bad, this is worse three point eight And 106 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 2: that raises the question, hmm. Bank of England. What about 107 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: those cups? So watch and wait twelve past six. 108 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, call 109 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: it by News Talks. 110 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 10: That'd be. 111 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: Yesterday that the guy in Grassier, Paul and Grassier, who 112 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: was going to be nominated for the Office of the 113 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: Special Council under Trump's nomination, he was going to be 114 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: in front of the Senate on Saturday, and he sent 115 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: out a text that had a lot of people worried 116 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: about his brain power. Anyways, withdrawn from that, so that's over. 117 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: And I note that Walmart this morning that the tremendous 118 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: user of these h one b visas, you know, this 119 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars thing that Trump slapped on them 120 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: as a result of that, they have two thousand of 121 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 2: them currently, so allegedly they can't find Americans anyway, the 122 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: point being they've paused that because they can't afford it, 123 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: or claim they can't afford it. Fifteen pass your partner's Andrew. 124 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 11: Kellah, good morning, very good morning, Mike. 125 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: So the dairy we got. 126 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: There in the end, thank the Good Lord. And it 127 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 2: seems it sort of could have been bad. It's not 128 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: as bad as it we thought it might have been. 129 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: Is that fair, Yeah, that's fair. 130 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 12: We're just revisiting it, really in the spirit of making 131 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 12: sure all the listeners are well and listens they are 132 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 12: well informed with correct information. We did make the assumption 133 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 12: yesterday that the individual asset prices were correct, and I 134 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 12: was quite worried about the reported fall and whole milk powder. 135 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 12: Those individual product prices weren't right. They were corrected later. 136 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 11: In the day. So here's the right numbers. 137 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 12: The global Dairy Trade index fell one point four percent. 138 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 12: That is a continuation of weak outcomes, but it's a 139 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 12: relatively benign fall. 140 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 11: Eight out of the last ten auctions. 141 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 12: Have resulted in the lower Global Dairy Trade price index, 142 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 12: so there's obviously a supply demand thing out there. Still 143 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 12: reasonable amounts of demand apparently, but just just lots of supply. 144 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 12: Those individual product movements are smaller than we reported yesterday. 145 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 12: So wholework powder was down two point four percent, skillmut 146 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 12: powderfl one point six percent, a very small fall, and 147 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 12: butter zero point eight So the quantum of move mike 148 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 12: smaller than we initially thought, less likely to effect forecast 149 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 12: farm gate milk prices. 150 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 11: Let's hope for uneventful auctions from. 151 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: Here, not particularly good for were in New Zealand. I 152 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: couldn't find much good on that, could you. 153 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: No? 154 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 11: I think towards the end of the program yesterday you noted, 155 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 11: didn't you, that Air New. 156 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 12: Zealand had announced a loss. Just looking a bit more detail. 157 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 12: In August, Mike, Air New Zealand provided guidance that earnings 158 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 12: before taxation for the first half of the twenty six 159 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 12: financial year are expected. We're expected to be similar or 160 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 12: just slightly less than that reported in the second half 161 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 12: of twenty twenty five, that number thirty five million. 162 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 11: Yesterday they provided an update on that they were now 163 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 11: in behind. Here. 164 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 12: They were expecting a two to three percent lift in 165 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 12: revenue across domestic and US bound bookings. Now that has 166 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 12: not materialized, and the thing is they can't even see 167 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 12: it in their forward booking profile. It's yet another example, Mike, 168 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 12: of the sort of economic equivalent of waiting for god ot. 169 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 12: I mean, the whole country has been waiting for economic 170 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 12: salvation this year was just hasn't arrived. So there's fifty 171 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 12: million dollars of anticipated revue that hasn't come in. Unfortunately, 172 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 12: on the other side of the profit and loss. Their 173 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 12: engine lease costs have also been higher, so they now 174 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 12: expect a loss before taxation for the first half of 175 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 12: the twenty six financially in the range of thirty to 176 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 12: fifty five. 177 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 11: Million, so pretty disappointing. 178 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 12: They do caution against extrapolating that that sort of outcome 179 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 12: that run rate into the second. 180 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 11: Half of the year. 181 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 12: So in other words, they've got higher costs, they've got 182 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 12: subdued demand. 183 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 11: I think you're talking to the CEO. It's a tough, 184 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 11: tough gig for the incoming CEO. 185 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 12: It's interesting that they're also doing a share buy back 186 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 12: at the moment at the same time that they are 187 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 12: losing money. 188 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 11: So few things to talk about there. 189 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: Talk to me about you will talk to me about 190 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: AI and power because I'm fascinated and this and how 191 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: we're going ever going to do it as a country. 192 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: But generally it's a conversation globally. 193 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 11: Yeah, actually, so I want to sort of talk. 194 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 12: It's almost this is almost a cautionary tale of hype 195 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 12: might because there's definitely pockets of hype in the US 196 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 12: and global share markets at the moment, and overnight we've 197 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 12: seen evidence of this with things like the meme stocks. 198 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 11: I can't leave. 199 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 12: We're talking about this again, Crispy Kream. Apparently the retail 200 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 12: sharehold retail punters are all into that. Again, hype is 201 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 12: creeping into other places. Well, I find myself talking about 202 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 12: AI a lot at the moment. I'm no AI experts, 203 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 12: I'm learning, but I do often mention that there's pockets 204 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 12: of hype here as well, but also these downstream impacts, 205 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 12: and one of those is power generation. AI is hungry 206 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 12: for power. One company in the US has really ridden 207 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 12: that wave. It's a company called Oplow. Now, the reason 208 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 12: this is interesting because there's also this backstory. It's involved 209 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 12: in nuclear power. We've talked about nuclear It's also backed 210 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 12: by Sam Altman of Open I Fame, Open AI fame. 211 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 12: But it also has very close ties to the Trump administration, 212 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 12: the US Energy Secretary. Now, from a perspective of hype 213 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 12: mic this company has no revenue, no license to operate, 214 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 12: no binding contact to supply power. 215 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 11: But what do you think it's worth? 216 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 12: And it's listed on the York Stock Exchange twenty billion dollars, which, 217 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 12: if you want to see a definition of hype, here's 218 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 12: some hype and the share price in the last twelve 219 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 12: months has written written something like depending on where you 220 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 12: start one thousand, five hundred percent. But this is the 221 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 12: cautionary tale. In the last few days, all of a 222 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 12: sudden confidence is gone that they're going to be able 223 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 12: to do what they say they're going to do. Share 224 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 12: price has fallen by a third. So you know, I 225 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 12: was sitting on a plane the other day. I was 226 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 12: listening to people behind me talking about buying and selling shares. 227 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 11: There's a lot of that going on at the moment. 228 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 11: There's a lot of hype. 229 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 12: Listen to mister kelliher be careful out there, people be careful. 230 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: Good numbers play the Yeah, the. 231 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 11: US market's under a bit of pressure Day twenty two 232 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 11: of the. 233 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 12: Shutdown and Netflix down about ten percent, a bit of 234 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 12: a tax issue in Brazil. But also even though they've 235 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 12: got a strong performance in the background, a lot of 236 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 12: this is already reflected in. 237 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 11: These valuations anyway. 238 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 12: The Dow Jones down three hundred points forty six, six 239 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 12: hundred and twenty two, that's two thirty percent, the S 240 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 12: and P five hundred down points forty six points, sixty 241 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 12: six eighty nine, and the NASDAK down three hundred and 242 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 12: thirty eight points. 243 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 11: That's one and a half percent. 244 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 12: Twenty two thousand, six hundred and thirteen forty one hundred 245 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 12: up one percent ninety five one five small move in 246 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 12: the neck A four nine three oh seven.

Their revenues down down, 275 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: sales are down some six percent. It's all to do 276 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 2: with the tariffs. Less than forty percent of Matel's product 277 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: will be sourced from China. They're trying to change it all, 278 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: but it's a problem for them. So Labuobuo they don't 279 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 2: seem to have a problem that Mattel does. Then I 280 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: note overnight that GM hot off their result yesterday, which 281 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: was quite a good one bar the ev division, which 282 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 2: is a disaster.

All I 308 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 15: know is that they would owe me a lot of money. 309 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 10: But I'm not looking from money. I'd give it to charity. 310 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 15: Now with the country, it's interesting because I'm the where 311 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 15: that makes a decision, right and you know that decision 312 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 15: would have to go first my desk, and it's awfully 313 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 15: he's ranged to make a decision where I'm paying myself. 314 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 15: In other words, did you ever have one of those 315 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 15: cases where you have to decide how much you're paying 316 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 15: yourself and damages? 317 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 11: But I was damaged very greatly. 318 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 3: And any money that I would get I would give 319 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: to charity. 320 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: Okay, well, we'll see where that goes.

By the way, 324 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: reports this morning that Dizzy's alive. They thought Dizzy was dead, 325 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: but now Dizzey's alive.

How much of the stuff goes on legally each 355 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: year around the world? 356 00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 16: Uh? 357 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 17: Well, yes, China is the main area we see it. 358 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 17: There's about seven thousand hectares or just over that currently 359 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 17: in the ground in China. We've continue to monitor around 360 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 17: the world, but China is the main area we're seeing 361 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 17: it at the moment. 362 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: And how do you monitor do you have people on 363 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: the ground or does somebody dub somebody in or will. 364 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 17: Look you know, some of it's through our distribution network. 365 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 17: We hear it for our customer network through other growers, 366 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 17: but also in China we've obviously got a reasonable presence 367 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 17: on the ground there that are monitoring it, but also 368 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 17: just keeping open engagement with the industry to understand what's 369 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 17: happening there as well. 370 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: So if the seven thousand hectares there and you've just 371 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: won two sixty, you've got a way to go. 372 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 10: Yeah. 373 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 17: I mean this is a small element of how much 374 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 17: is there, but it's more of a landmark in terms 375 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 17: of winning seed law case. And it really does show 376 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 17: that China is starting to move around protecting IP rights 377 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 17: not only for trademarks but also plant variety rights in 378 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 17: this case. So it's a good move in the right direction. 379 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: That's what is going to ask. So this is precedent 380 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: setting and it's got a chilling effect, as they say 381 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: in legal circles. 382 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 17: Yeah, and it does also recognize that China is taking 383 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 17: more seriously around protecting particularly international company's IP rights, and 384 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 17: that makes it good for investment in China going forward 385 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 17: as well. 386 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: And so that's a recognition on their part that their 387 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 2: reputation internationally is not particularly flash in this area and 388 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: they might want to do something about it. 389 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 17: I think they're continuing to mature in that space. That's right. 390 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 17: We've seen a lot with our trademarks, so zespre trademarks 391 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 17: on gold trademark and they've been taking a lot of 392 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 17: action on that and now obviously with plant variety rights, 393 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 17: so it's continuing to mature in that space. 394 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: Does this cost you one point two eight million in damages? 395 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: I mean one, do you actually get the money and 396 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 2: do they actually rip the hec tears out? But does 397 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 2: that cover your costs? 398 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 17: So we've also had costs that we incurred a water 399 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 17: to us through this as well. So there's obviously the fine, 400 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 17: there's the costs incurred, but also the main thing for 401 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 17: us is the deterrent around pulling the fruit out of 402 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 17: the or the pulling the vines out of the ground 403 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 17: and not being able to sell the fruit good. 404 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 2: We've got those numbers the other day, by the way, 405 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: we haven't andy on since then. The I mean, you 406 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 2: guys are it's just laughing, isn't it. I mean, how 407 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 2: much more can you grow? 408 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 17: Look, we've got pretty strong growth ambitions, partly because we 409 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 17: have got strong demand around the world for naturally nutritious 410 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 17: product like ours. We've also got a lot of growth 411 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 17: markets that we're sort of really focused at the moment. 412 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 17: So look, there is more growth ahead of us. We 413 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 17: continue to work through that, but we're going to make 414 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 17: sure that we keep doing it at a high value level. 415 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 17: We don't want to erode the value of our returns either. 416 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more?

But this is pretty exciting 481 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 18: and they've just landed. The King and Queen have just 482 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 18: landed in Rome this evening, looking very relaxed in the 483 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 18: photos and the images that I've seen. They will make 484 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 18: this historic visit to the Vatican tomorrow. His Majesty will 485 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 18: have private talks with Pope Leo before going into this 486 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 18: event in the Sisteine Chapel, and then after that they 487 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 18: will go to Saint Paul's outside the walls, a papal basilica, 488 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 18: where he will be honored with a special chair that's 489 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 18: been made in his honor. 490 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: Well that event specifically, aside if he wandered around Rome. 491 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: Would he draw a crowd to the British royals a 492 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: thing in Italy? That's funny you should say that. 493 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 18: I don't know that he would be immediately recognized on 494 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 18: the street. Having said that, he is quite a unique 495 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 18: kind of appearance, isn't he. I think there's a bit 496 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 18: of interest in the royals coming here. There's always interest 497 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 18: in Italy because we, of course no longer have a monarchy, 498 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 18: so there's always interest in royals when they come into Rome, 499 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 18: and fascination with the British monarchy exact. 500 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: Now. Tell me about maloney in the EU and the tariffs. 501 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: So this is a problem with being in a club 502 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: of twenty seven. Of course, you got to toe the 503 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: line until you don't. So what's she trying to cap 504 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 2: with Trump? 505 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 3: Well? 506 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 18: Yeah, she caused it a little bit of outrage over 507 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 18: the last few days because it looked like a social 508 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 18: media post from Trump suggested that she was pursuing a 509 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 18: direct trade agreement separate to the EU with Washington to 510 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 18: try and secure a deal decrease the lower the tariffs 511 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 18: that are being imposed. I don't know that's really achieved 512 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 18: very much, but she's got to face her colleagues in 513 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 18: Brussels tomorrow, so I don't think it's a terribly exciting 514 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 18: moment for her. This social media caption said that Georgia 515 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 18: or Maloney was challenging the EU and seeking a direct 516 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 18: trade deal, so not a good look for her. 517 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: So what would I mean? I mean, why would you 518 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: know this? But I mean Mozzarella. So if she did 519 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 2: a deal with Mozzarella directly with the US as opposed 520 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 2: to broad based European goods, can you do that? Or 521 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 2: you know, the rules don't allow you to do anything individual. 522 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 18: I think you can secure an individual deal. I don't 523 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 18: know what the rules are specifically, but it seems to 524 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 18: me that if you can do a deal, you can. 525 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 18: I think we'll find out more in the next few days. 526 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 18: But it's certainly still an issue of great concern in Italy, 527 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 18: particularly for pasta and wine and all those agricultural goods. 528 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 3: As you mentioned, for Bottrella three years. 529 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: I find it hard to believe she's been there three years. 530 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: I reckon she's been one of the great modern political surprises. 531 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 2: I give you this view from the other side of 532 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: the world. For what she was painted as some sort 533 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: of rabbid nut job of the right. She's actually done 534 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: pretty well, hasn't she. 535 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 18: She's done an extraordinary job of straddling all the different 536 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 18: interests across the political spectrum and creating this image, this 537 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 18: international image that we've seen, building alliances with people who 538 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 18: are very controversial like the US President Donald Trump, and 539 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 18: somehow navigating the complexity of those relationships while still portraying 540 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 18: herself as a very strong and popular leader. That doesn't 541 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 18: mean she doesn't. 542 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: Oh, she was just giving us the Maloney Special and 543 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: the future of because what I wanted to ask it 544 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 2: was is she more popular internationally than she is domestically? 545 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: Is it our system yet again? Is it the choice 546 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: here if we can have lights in the studio or 547 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,719 Speaker 2: the WhatsApp working? It's it's not both things. It's that 548 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 2: how it works. 549 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 13: It's not what it's that, but yeah, it's everything's connected 550 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 13: to everything, mate. 551 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 2: As yeah it'll be for it's as the one in, 552 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: one out, one in thing is too funny for words. 553 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: So the migrant it's not just the one in, one out. 554 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 2: So the one in one out I go to the 555 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 2: UK and France here this is the illegal migrants. So 556 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: the one in one out is stupid enough as it 557 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: is because you're dealing with literally a handful of people. 558 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: You've got thousands going into Britain illegally by these small 559 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 2: boats every year. So they signed Macron and Star assigned 560 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 2: that stupid one in one out thing, And ever since 561 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 2: I got signed in July, so far forty two people, 562 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 2: I mean forty two people have allegedly gone the one 563 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 2: in one out. Anyway, the funny thing this morning is 564 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: one of the blokes, one of the outs, has come back. 565 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 2: So it was one and he was in and then 566 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 2: they rounded him up and he was an out and 567 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: now he's beckoning again. Ten minutes away from seven. 568 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: The light hosking breakfast with Bailey's real estate news talks. 569 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 3: They'd be answer me this. 570 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: So the reason we lost Joe is someone was trying 571 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: to ring Joe. So you're on your phone when somebody 572 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: rings you, your connection drops out. And at the same time, 573 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 2: general motors are going to do eyes off driving. I mean, 574 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: give me a break. And that's before my light. So 575 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: if you think so, I've had this light thing in 576 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: the studio for how many weeks? Months, six weeks, so 577 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 2: anyway the. 578 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 11: Lights go out, it's got to be longer than that. 579 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon it's longer than that, but I was 580 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: trying to be nice about it anyway, So I moaned 581 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: one day and ago, these lights are old there, crap 582 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: fixed and put some new lights in. So they do, 583 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 2: and the new lights start breaking down almost immediately, and 584 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: so then I say, well, let's get some must be 585 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: under warranty. Well there's no warranty where we got the 586 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 2: lights from, straight from Timu anyway. So I'm sitting here 587 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: in the dark, and it's taken literally weeks to how 588 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: many people does it take to change the light bulb? 589 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: Well it doesn't really matter how many people, it's how 590 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 2: many weeks anyway, So they do one, so one's back, 591 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 2: the other one isn't anyway. They can only because the 592 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: lighting system in this building. Listen to this, with the 593 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 2: stupidest idea in the world. The lighting system in this building, 594 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 2: this was what what do you call this? An eco building? 595 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 2: Was going to save the world. Apparently eco building. Anyway, 596 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 2: You've got to turn off all the lights in the 597 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 2: whole building to change the lights in the studio. Have 598 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: you ever heard anything so stupid in your life?

So 602 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: we turned all the lights in the building out to 603 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: put the one light back in the studio. 604 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 13: I saw them in here one day working on it. 605 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: Rubbish. 606 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 13: No, no, no, it did not. 607 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 10: I did. 608 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 13: There were three people too, Interestingly, two of them were 609 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 13: wearing high Viz. 610 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 2: Did they have a ladder? 611 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 13: Yes, there was a ladder. 612 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 2: Do they have scaffolding? 613 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 13: No scaffolding and then and no cones as far as 614 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 13: I could tell, no warning signs or anything like that. 615 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 13: But why only two of the three in high Vers. 616 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 13: The person who wasn't wearing high Vers had a laptop. 617 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 13: They sat on the floor and they were gaming.

They claim the biggest industri real action 667 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 2: of forty years, an estimate of one hundred thousand nurses, teachers, 668 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: medical stuff, as well as the aggrieved places like ACC. 669 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 2: David Seymour, Deputy Prime Minister, of course, but also Associate 670 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 2: Health and Education is with us, good morning, good morning. 671 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: How much of this is genuine grievance versus how much 672 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 2: of this is making a political statement against the government 673 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 2: they don't like. 674 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 16: We'll put it this way. I don't think that there 675 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 16: would be a member of our cabinet who doesn't want 676 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 16: to pay nurses, teachers, doctors as much as possible. On 677 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 16: the other hand, it seems to be a disconnect between 678 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 16: what some of these unions and the union leadership are 679 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 16: demanding versus the reality that most New Zealanders, including those 680 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 16: who have to pay the taxes to fund these services, 681 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 16: are actually facing. They seem to be demanding things that 682 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 16: aren't a reality for most of those people who pay 683 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 16: the taxes and actually need the education and health services. 684 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 16: I mean, you take a look at nurses start on 685 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 16: seventy five thousand under one offer they've received. By next year, 686 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 16: a starting nurse would be on eighty six after going 687 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 16: up a step and getting an increase that's been offered. 688 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 16: On the other hand, you look at teachers, you know, 689 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 16: fourteen and a half percent in the last three years. 690 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 16: These are not the kind of conditions that most New 691 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 16: Zealanders have faced, and so I think there needs to 692 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 16: be a question of are these guys facing up to 693 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 16: the reality that all New Zealanders face right now trying 694 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 16: to solve problems, which is what the government is trying 695 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 16: to do, fixing one thing after another or making a 696 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 16: political point, and that I think is where a lot 697 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 16: of the frustration for people in the government but also 698 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 16: in New Zealand is up and down the country are facing. 699 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 2: Well is it? Because if you believe that poll yesterday, 700 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 2: which I actually don't because I think it was opted 701 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: in at only four hundred, but I mean the majority 702 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: of people actually back the strike. They think they've got 703 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 2: a case. Your argument that you just outlaid as landed flat. 704 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 16: I think if you were to ask people should doctors 705 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 16: and teachers be paid more or nurses, of course they 706 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 16: would say yes. On the other hand, if you put 707 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 16: it to them, should we be demanded to give payoffers 708 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 16: that are completely out of proportion with what most people 709 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 16: in the New Zealand economy have faced in the last 710 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 16: three years, then they would say, well, actually, I'm not 711 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 16: sure that's fair. 712 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 2: No, you have spent the government have spent the best 713 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 2: part of the last week saying come back to the table, 714 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: come back to the table, come back to the table. 715 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 2: Have they responded the unions responded to that in any way, 716 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: shape or form. 717 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 16: Well, it's been mixed, but you can see from the 718 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 16: fact the strike's going ahead even after forful this morning 719 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 16: the Public Services Commissioner said, Look, we're prepared to work 720 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 16: through the weekend. We think we're there with the teachers, 721 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 16: but they're not at the table. They're striking. So I 722 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 16: think that tells you everything you need to know. 723 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 2: Roche is on holiday. Is that a thing in your 724 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 2: mind or not? 725 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 16: Well, I don't know his full personal circumstances or what's 726 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 16: led to that, so I shouldn't comment on it. But 727 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 16: he's made it clear that he's available. I see he 728 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 16: was available being interviewed this morning, so he may be 729 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 16: across the ditch, but he's still very much on the job. 730 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 2: Where does this go post today? We will go back 731 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 2: to work, probably not tomorrow for the teachers, but by 732 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: tuesday we'll get back then. What we just do, what 733 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 2: carry on? 734 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 16: Well, at some point these union organizers are going to 735 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 16: have to face the reality we'd like to pay as 736 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 16: much as we can, we also have to balance the 737 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 16: needs of all those other New Zealanders who actually pay 738 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 16: the taxes, who almost universally haven't had increases in anything 739 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 16: like what they're asking for. And at some point when 740 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 16: that real sinks and we can get back to fixing 741 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 16: what matters and living our lives in New Zealand. But 742 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 16: the idea that's, you know, because you know, like something 743 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 16: you can make a political pantomime like they appear to 744 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 16: be attempting. I just don't think that will wash. 745 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: All right, appreciate time. David Seymour, who's the Associate Health 746 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 2: and Education Minister today? Do you believe the poll yesterday 747 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 2: the Torbert Mills Pole four hundred people? I think was 748 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,959 Speaker 2: often but but on I can't even remember the number 749 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 2: because I wasn't that interested. It was about sixty sixty 750 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 2: five percent allegedly supported the strike. When you broke it 751 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 2: down for people who support the coalition versus people who 752 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 2: don't support the coalition. People who support the coalition, it 753 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 2: was even stevens And of course most of the support 754 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 2: came from the other side of the camp eleven past seven, Mike, 755 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 2: I'm sick of these strikes. Call their bluff. Next off, 756 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 2: it should be a pay cut. The country can't afford 757 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,959 Speaker 2: it anyway they earn as much like teachers are pushing 758 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 2: their luck. It has got to a fascinating thing, or 759 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: a fascinating stage, or a fascinating time. As far as 760 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 2: I can work out that those numbers that David gave 761 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 2: the early Day numbers were interesting. But when sixty six 762 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: percent of teachers are on a six figure salary in 763 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 2: a country where the average salary is seventy two seventy 764 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars, at some point someone's got to go, 765 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: wait a minute, is this reasonable? Anyway more on this 766 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 2: before the half hour is out. Now. The other thing, 767 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 2: speaking of money, there seems to be a great deal 768 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 2: of consternation around the eighteen month at the moment four 769 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: point four to five. So as I think, ASB started 770 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: at B and Z followed up yesterday, what we're building 771 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 2: or what the banks are building up to, is the 772 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 2: anticipation of at least twenty five points for November from 773 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank. So just understand how this works. Because 774 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people are still laboring under the idea 775 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 2: that when the Reserve Bank makes an announcement, as they 776 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 2: will next month, all the banks then follow suit. What 777 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 2: the banks are doing is building this in already. They're 778 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 2: anticipating the twenty five. It's probably it. After twenty five, 779 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 2: there is no more. So what we're getting to or 780 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 2: heading towards, is probably going to be as good as 781 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 2: it gets mortgage wise. So B and Z just to 782 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: give you a flavor, six month at four seven nine, 783 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 2: two years at four to four nine, four year at 784 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 2: four nine nine. The five years down by forty basis 785 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 2: points to four nine nine. I reckon, here's my pack 786 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 2: before this thing's over, and it'll be before Christmas. I 787 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 2: don't know where it's going to be in terms of length, 788 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 2: but someone's going to come in at a three three 789 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 2: nine nine. Come back and talk to Don McKinnon at 790 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 2: a moment thirteen past. 791 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 792 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: by News Talks at B. 793 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 2: The new CEO for Any New Zealand, Nicol Rebishanka, started 794 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 2: this week.

He's with us. 801 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 7: Don. 802 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 10: Good morning to you, Good morning to you, mate. 803 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 2: A lot of very nice things have been said about 804 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 2: Jim Bolder, and I suppose rightly so over these last 805 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 2: few days. Have you been pleased to hear them? 806 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 19: I have been pleased here of them because certainly at 807 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 19: the time that he was Prime Minister, he never got 808 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 19: those kind of accolades on a continuous run. And what 809 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 19: you've been hearing recently is pretty much the man as 810 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 19: we knew him. 811 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 2: Indeed, you helped out, I wonder, and I mean you 812 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 2: won't agree with me necessarily publicly, but I mean the 813 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 2: fact that you never wanted to roll them knife and 814 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 2: be the boss. I mean you were a good combination, 815 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 2: won't you. 816 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 10: Well? I hope so, I hope so. 817 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 19: And I still say that if any leader has a 818 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 19: deputy whose aspirations for the leadership are very strong, you 819 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 19: will have a permanent destabilization. 820 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 10: And that's not a good thing for the country. 821 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 2: Chris Flinlayson wrote very nicely about him the Herald yesterday. 822 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 2: He concluded that Fraser aside bold, you would be right 823 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 2: up there, would that be your assessment? 824 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 19: Well, I certainly say so, And I agree with someone 825 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 19: else who said a couple of years ago that of 826 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 19: the five farmer prime ministers, he was certainly the best 827 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 19: of all of them because he just had a broader mind. 828 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 19: It wasn't just about farming, it was about the whole country. 829 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of them. It appeals to me personally, 830 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 2: this idea that you can leave school young but still 831 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 2: rise to be the leader of the country. I mean, 832 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 2: that's a fantastic thing for New Zealand. I just wonder 833 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 2: if it was a time and place thing and it 834 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't even be remotely possible today. 835 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,240 Speaker 19: Well, I hope it is possible, because you know, people 836 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,919 Speaker 19: that have a pretty good IQ. 837 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 10: I suppose inherently. 838 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 19: They're capable of learning every day of their lives and 839 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 19: if they are in the right environment, it may not 840 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 19: be a formal education environment. If they're in the right 841 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 19: environment and they continue learning, they are curious, they want 842 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 19: to know things, they ask questions, They've got every chance 843 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 19: of rising to the top. 844 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 10: I think it's worthwhile adding my. 845 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 2: Got to be kidding. 846 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 19: I mean so with Paul keating in Australia, none of 847 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 19: them had a university degree. 848 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 2: No exactly is it fair to I think you will 849 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 2: alluded to it. Is it fair to observe that at 850 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 2: the time he wasn't loved and maybe that the fullness 851 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 2: of time have allowed a number of people to come 852 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 2: to a slightly different conclusion that they might have had 853 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 2: at the moment. 854 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:12,959 Speaker 10: I think you're right. 855 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 19: Some prime mierists all love more than those I think 856 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 19: David Lnger is loved by many. I wouldn't say he 857 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 19: was a great prime minister at all. No, the bulger 858 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 19: that we knew wasn't seen the same way by the 859 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 19: general public. 860 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 2: No. Is the weather going to be a thing today? 861 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 2: I mean with all these read alerts and you've got 862 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 2: to stay home in public transport is not on. How 863 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 2: come a thousand people are going to be able to 864 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 2: turn up the capital case. 865 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 19: I think a lot of people will have second thoughts 866 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 19: about wanting to go unless they know they're going to 867 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 19: get inside the building, or they've got a seat somewhere 868 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 19: that's safe. 869 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 10: They may have second thoughts, but look that's fully understood. 870 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, good on, you're done. Nice to catch uppreciate it 871 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 2: very much so. Don McKinnon, former Deputy Prime Minister, who 872 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 2: will be speaking at the Bulger funeral today. Mike, I'm 873 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 2: a former teacher and a former school principal and ongoing 874 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 2: on and remember the teacher's union. I'm embarrassed about the strike, 875 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 2: as indeed you should be, Mike. It's not about wages 876 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 2: for the nurses. It's about understaffing. What rubbish to stop 877 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 2: saying that. If it's about understaffing, don't ask for money. 878 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 2: Say I'll forego the money to hire more staff. But 879 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 2: you're not going to say that, are you. I mean, 880 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 2: of course it's about understaffing. Everyone's understaff everyone's stressed, everyone's miserable. 881 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 2: No one likes their job. Is there anyone in this 882 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 2: country that actually like apart from me, that likes their job. 883 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 2: Because it's always not about understaffing, then don't ask for 884 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 2: more money, Mike. My friend's daughter's twenty three, a nurse 885 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 2: at Auckland Hospital. I was shocked to learn you into 886 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 2: one hundred and five thousand dollars. Many people don't do 887 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 2: anything like that. That's true. I don't deny, you know, 888 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 2: I'm good on them. If they can earn one hundred 889 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 2: and five thousand dollars as a nurse, fantastic. I wish 890 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 2: nurses we running two undred thousand dollars a year. But 891 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 2: there's a twofold problem here. One is that we're broke 892 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 2: is a country and we can't afford it. Two is 893 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 2: this cost accounting business we've got going whereby we just 894 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 2: need more money because the price of butter went up, 895 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 2: and because butter went up, we need more money. And 896 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 2: if you keep doing that, you're going to run yourself broke. 897 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,800 Speaker 2: It's not how the economy works. 898 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: Seven The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on aheart 899 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 1: radio cow it by News. 900 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,760 Speaker 2: Talksp Now, let's face it, the way we do businesses 901 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 2: moved on from those old land lines and the face 902 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 2: to faces of course mostly online these days.

Ah 921 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 2: the lament borold Radio New Zealand's obituary of the CRD 922 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 2: makes you weep climate related disclosures. Here was their headline yesterday, 923 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 2: New Zealand guts climate policy. It bragged about to the 924 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 2: world that's your headline. What's misleading about that headline is 925 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 2: the government who gutted it isn't the government who bragged 926 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 2: about it. They're two different governments as for the gutting 927 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,280 Speaker 2: and the world leading, world leading in what? In what sense? 928 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 2: We were simply the first to the line with a 929 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 2: pointless idea the first country if you believe this government 930 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 2: that made it increasingly hard to get foreign money invested 931 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 2: into our country because they just produced another hurdle all banks, 932 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 2: insurers and list companies. 933 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 11: What. 934 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 2: Four it's very labor, isn't it just to rope everybody 935 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 2: in whether it's relevant or not. Why didn't they make 936 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,879 Speaker 2: us all write climate reports about ourselves. I mean, we've 937 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 2: all got a climate footprint. Airlines, sure, lot of emissions. 938 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 2: Tell us about them in your annual report. I get 939 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 2: that issues through insurance companies. Surely they would have done 940 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,919 Speaker 2: it anyway, given that's basically their business. But turners good 941 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,920 Speaker 2: on turners, you know, as in the cars as in TENA, 942 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 2: raise relevant issues. One, it wasn't similar to Australia, way 943 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 2: easier in Australia. We were hobbling ourselves too. They opened 944 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 2: themselves up to prosecution. This is directors and things like that. 945 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,640 Speaker 2: Three it cost a fortune to get someone to write 946 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 2: all the mumbo jumbo that for many companies wasn't remotely necessary. 947 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 2: Even MB wrote a report saying the cost of all 948 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 2: is nonsense. Were prohibitive, but don't worry as long as 949 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 2: we're world leading. What labour never understood and no doubt 950 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 2: they still do now, is putting the cost of business 951 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 2: up is counterproductive. Having our competitors outpays us because we're 952 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 2: bogged down is counterproductive. And even if we all wrote 953 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 2: glorious page page page page page after page about our 954 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 2: foot prince in climate intent, what difference did any of 955 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 2: it make to the environment. What got changed or saved 956 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 2: or solved? The tragedy was too much of the media 957 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 2: got sucked into clearly still does sucked into the fields. 958 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 2: I mean, all you had to do was say, look, 959 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 2: it's a world first and then mix the words in 960 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 2: climate world first, and you had them hook line and 961 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 2: sinker asking Mike, it's the timing of the teachers strike 962 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 2: that's winding me up right at a time when the 963 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 2: kids are prepping for NCEEA seriously and this is the 964 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,279 Speaker 2: time they need maximum exposure to teachers and guidance to 965 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 2: set them up. Well, that's the problem with the unions. 966 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 2: Of course, the unions aren't about the kids. Heaven forbid, 967 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 2: they're about themselves and maximum effect. That's why they used 968 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 2: to go on striking the bad old days with the 969 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 2: fairies on score holidays, and that's why teachers do it 970 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 2: close to exams. Well, he might. The Primary Principles Collective 971 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 2: Bargaining Group settled last week very fair offer in these 972 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 2: economic times. Over five hundred and twenty five primary principles 973 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 2: are part of this. Our leaders negotiated in good faith. 974 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,120 Speaker 2: I just want to get on with the job and 975 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: help kid succeed. And if you were listening to Erica 976 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 2: Stamford in the House yesterday, as Willow Jenne Prime blattered 977 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 2: out another one of her union based questions, Erica quite 978 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 2: rightly said, well, it can be done, has been done. 979 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 2: But the trick to it all is you got to 980 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 2: actually be at the table and when the government says, 981 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 2: come to the table and let's negotiate, you can do it. 982 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 2: You have done it and there's your example. But that 983 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 2: then leads to the question do they actually want to 984 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,879 Speaker 2: Is this about solving anything or is it just about 985 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 2: drawing attention to yourself. Now there's a bloke in the 986 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 2: country at the moment. He is out EU and Wall 987 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 2: it's the EU ambassador or EU Ambassador's to New Zealand. 988 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 2: We've not done this before at a high level. Apparently 989 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 2: get together with the EU and look to extend our FTA. 990 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 2: So we'll give you some more details on that in 991 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 2: the moment. 992 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: Credible, compelling, the breakfast show you can't miss. It's the 993 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: Mic Hosking Breakfast with a Vita, Retirement Communities, Life Your 994 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: Way News, Togstead be. 995 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 2: Got to the political story of the day. You can't 996 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 2: write it, you can't make it up, and it's as 997 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 2: it comes. I'll come to that in just a couple 998 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 2: of moments. But just developing, it's been announced by the 999 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 2: Secretary of War Hig Seth that they've blown up another 1000 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 2: one of these drug vessels. What's interesting about this is 1001 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 2: and they don't delineate. They say the Eastern Pacific, so 1002 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,839 Speaker 2: I don't know what that means because the Pacific's quite 1003 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 2: big anyway. It's their eighth strike. They're saying it was 1004 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 2: a designated terrorist organization. They were narco trafficking in the 1005 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,879 Speaker 2: Eastern Pacific. They shot the thing in international waters. Both 1006 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: terrorists were killed. No US forces were harmed in the strike, 1007 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 2: so all the others the note of this, as all 1008 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,480 Speaker 2: the others were in the Caribbean. This has now moved 1009 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 2: to the Eastern Pacific, twenty three minutes away from Eightes. 1010 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 2: So flakeship man and I guess you could say in 1011 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,799 Speaker 2: our relationship with the European Union. Today we've got EU 1012 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 2: officials in the country meeting with our political and business 1013 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 2: leaders for the first ever joint business summit. Now the 1014 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 2: focus is on maximizing our FDA strengthening bilateral tires. Lawrence 1015 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 2: Meredith is the EU ambassador to this country and as 1016 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 2: with it's Lawrence morning to you. 1017 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 20: Good morning mate. 1018 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 21: Great to be back on the shoff. 1019 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 2: Given our relationship, this is sort of odd that we 1020 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 2: haven't done this before, isn't it. 1021 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 21: Well, we've just got a new free trade agreement, been 1022 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 21: in fourth almost eighteen months, so we thought this was 1023 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 21: the best opportunity to turbo boost it. 1024 00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 2: Your sense of that agreement and what's changed materially from 1025 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,280 Speaker 2: the EU's point of view. 1026 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 21: Well, I think it's a big change because, as you know, 1027 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,360 Speaker 21: in a moment of trade turbulence, their opinionion has actually 1028 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,879 Speaker 21: taken trade tariffs off trade with New Zealand, and that's 1029 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 21: been a big boost for New Zealand exporters with an 1030 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 21: extra billion dollars in the first twelve months. That's twenty 1031 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:40,399 Speaker 21: eight percent up. 1032 00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 2: Do you see it? I mean I look at the 1033 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 2: China Deal as one of the original free trade deals, 1034 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 2: of course, and that has grown with this country exponentially 1035 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 2: over the years. Do you have high expectations of major 1036 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: growth between US and the EU? 1037 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 10: Yes? 1038 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 21: Absolutely, and that's why we're having this summit and we're 1039 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,479 Speaker 21: going to be looking at five big issues. Of course 1040 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 21: the agri agri tech piece, but also infrastructure building out 1041 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 21: the Prime Minister's infrastructure investments some in March, and investing 1042 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,360 Speaker 21: in innovation in areas like clean tech, deep tech and AI, 1043 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 21: and also aerospace and defense, which are phenomenal here in 1044 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:12,800 Speaker 21: New Zealand. 1045 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,240 Speaker 2: How on the radar is a place like New Zealand 1046 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 2: for a place like the EU. 1047 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 21: Well, it's a really high up because if you look 1048 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 21: at President vonder Lyon's political guidelines when she came into office, 1049 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 21: it's one of only four trusted partners namechecked along with Australia, 1050 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,359 Speaker 21: Japan and Career. So definitely on our radar. 1051 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 2: Good attangibles coming out of this or is this just 1052 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 2: to get together and you know, let's see how it goes. 1053 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 21: No, absolutely, and you'll have seen that there's the big deal. 1054 00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 21: We've got Nile Brown from Dawn Meets in Ireland coming 1055 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,400 Speaker 21: across fresh from investing in Alliance So's and we've got 1056 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 21: the infrastructure giants of Vance and we Build and also 1057 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 21: Bessic Swapack who are building the christ Church Stadium. So 1058 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 21: we've got some big players over from Europe. 1059 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 2: Good stuff. Enjoy yourself, Appreciate it very much. Lawrence Meridith, 1060 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 2: who's the EU investedor this particular country. Twenty minutes away 1061 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 2: from eight Michael Hill, the head of the New Zealand 1062 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 2: and the new CEO of the New Zealander Nicol Ravishanka, 1063 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 2: who started the job this week and giving us first 1064 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 2: interview after eight o'clock this morning. A lot of questions 1065 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 2: about in New Zealand of course, and he's got a 1066 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 2: big job in front of him. But Michael Hill related 1067 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,720 Speaker 2: matters yesterday gave the market a bit of an update 1068 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 2: and this is just once again a reminder of where 1069 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 2: we are in the world. Unfortunately so subdued consumer demand. 1070 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 2: We've heard this about a million times, they claiming across 1071 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 2: Australia and New Zealand, which is true persistent inflationary pressures. 1072 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 2: We've heard it all, put pressures on margins, blah blah blah. 1073 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 2: But here's here's the key to this, because they're an 1074 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,720 Speaker 2: unusual company in the sense they've got very specific markets 1075 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 2: and we can compare ourselves directly with what's going on 1076 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 2: in those markets. So in Australia, do they see growth? 1077 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 2: And remember, of course, Michael Hill, it's it's discretionary spending, 1078 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 2: it's feel good spending, it's gold's diamonds, it's getting engaged, 1079 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 2: it's happy times, it's you know, all of that sort 1080 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 2: of stuff. One point two percent growth in Australia very good. 1081 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 2: What about Canada four point four percent growth in Canada 1082 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 2: very good news? And how about New Zealand down five 1083 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 2: point five So that's a direct comparison with where we're 1084 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 2: at with at least where we're at with Australia and 1085 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 2: unfortunately Canada. Nineteen to wait. 1086 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,439 Speaker 1: The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power 1087 00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 1: by the News talks. 1088 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 22: At b. 1089 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,439 Speaker 2: Sexteen to wait. One of the reasons the ACC people 1090 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,319 Speaker 2: are joining the strike today is they don't like the 1091 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 2: work from home deal. So they it's down or the 1092 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,280 Speaker 2: ACC want it down to two days a week. Remembering, 1093 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 2: of course this was all invented during COVID. It used 1094 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 2: to be no days at home, and then during COVID, 1095 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 2: for obvious reasons, people started working from home and then 1096 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 2: suddenly they decided they never wanted to come back. Anyway, 1097 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 2: it's very interesting case in Australia at the moment, and 1098 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 2: Westpac had lost it. They've been in front of the 1099 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 2: Fair Work Commission. Now. The key to this and the 1100 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 2: reason it probably won't work here, is that they ping 1101 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 2: them on Section sixty five at the Fair Work Act. 1102 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 2: So I don't know whether we've got a section sixty 1103 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,719 Speaker 2: five at the Fair Work Act. But anyway, what had 1104 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 2: happened was this woman had decided who move a long 1105 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 2: way away from her work office because she started working 1106 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,400 Speaker 2: at home. She works in mortgage operations, and they decided 1107 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,560 Speaker 2: westpact that she report to the office at least a 1108 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 2: couple of days a week. Her name's Carleen and so 1109 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 2: she'd been there more than twenty years, which is the 1110 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 2: sad part of the story. I guess she's eighty k's 1111 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 2: southwest of Sydney. She moved eighty k's southwest of Sydney, 1112 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,279 Speaker 2: and she's then claiming it took roughly two hours to 1113 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 2: travel from school. And the key was the school. She 1114 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 2: wanted to be able to drop her kids off at school, 1115 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,280 Speaker 2: and so she and the kid was at a private school, 1116 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 2: so she moved closely to the private school so she 1117 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,319 Speaker 2: could drop a kid off at school. And then they 1118 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 2: said can you come back to the office, and she went, now, 1119 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 2: I'm busy dropping that kid off at school eighty k's 1120 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 2: away and it takes me too long to get to 1121 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,359 Speaker 2: the office. Now where it got slight, I think got 1122 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 2: slightly tricky. She had been approved for flexible work conditions, 1123 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 2: but then Westpac changed their minds, so I think you're 1124 00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,320 Speaker 2: probably in front of something like a fair Work Commission. 1125 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 2: Get a bit of sympathy on that. But also they 1126 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 2: quoted the section sixty five of the Fair Worked Act 1127 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 2: formal request for flexible working arrangements. So the present Westpac 1128 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 2: present circumstances had arisen because of life choices and preferences 1129 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 2: of the applicant and without the consent of west Pack. 1130 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 2: So in other words, you know, move as far as 1131 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,040 Speaker 2: you want, but don't then say, look, I've moved miles away, 1132 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 2: and I can't come to the office anymore anyway. The 1133 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,399 Speaker 2: point begging, they've lost Westpacket have lost. So that's now 1134 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 2: a warning to them too. If you're gonna start getting 1135 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 2: people back into the office, you're gonna have to have 1136 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 2: a reasonably good reason. Now, funniest political story of the day. 1137 00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,360 Speaker 2: You can't make the stuff up. The bill that was 1138 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 2: going nowhere anyway. This is the Right to Repair Bill, 1139 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 2: Merrima Davidson's Right to Repair Bill. Right. So, on the surface, 1140 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 2: it had a kind of hokey old world good vibe 1141 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,400 Speaker 2: about it, in the sense that, you know, would you 1142 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 2: like to be able to go along to Harvey Norman 1143 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 2: and buy a few bits and bobs to repeat your 1144 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 2: transistor or your lamp or your toaster. 1145 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:51,279 Speaker 3: Yes? 1146 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 2: Beyond that, was it ever realistic? 1147 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 21: No? 1148 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,360 Speaker 2: And so she put this bill in the House and 1149 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,279 Speaker 2: I can't remember who it was. I think it was 1150 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 2: New Zealand first who initially supported it, and that would 1151 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,879 Speaker 2: have given them the numbers to actually pass the bill. Now, 1152 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 2: the problem with passing the bill, of course, and forcing 1153 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 2: retailers to stock bits and pieces for parts that they 1154 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 2: may or may not ever sell was it was course, 1155 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 2: it was hopelessly inefficient and they were never going to 1156 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 2: do it. And all that, in reality was going to 1157 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 2: happen is that they weren't going to import a whole 1158 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,880 Speaker 2: lot of stuff into the country, because why would you 1159 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 2: bother anyway? New Zealand first, if I'm correct in saying 1160 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 2: it was them, changed their mind once they worked out 1161 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,240 Speaker 2: what I've just argued is the case. They suddenly realized 1162 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,279 Speaker 2: in the real world it's not remotely going to work, 1163 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 2: so they pulled their support. So this was going nowhere anyway, 1164 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,799 Speaker 2: but it's in the house, and yesterday it got to 1165 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 2: second reading. Now, the problem with second reading is you 1166 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,040 Speaker 2: need the person who sponsored the bill to be in 1167 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 2: the house. Guess who wasn't in the house. Marrama wasn't 1168 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 2: in the house, and everyone went, where's Marramah for the 1169 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: second reading? And Marrima wasn't there, and she wasn't there 1170 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 2: to be seen because she had underestimated the speed at 1171 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,800 Speaker 2: which the legislation would progress through the house so speedy 1172 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 2: and so so fast she couldn't get back in time. 1173 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 2: So what happens when the sponsor's not in the house, 1174 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 2: of course, as they say, is no one here. They 1175 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 2: go right in the bin. That's the end of that. 1176 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 2: So a whole year's worth of work is up in smoke. 1177 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 2: So a bill that was going nowhere anyway is now 1178 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 2: up in smoke. Officially needs to be pulled once again 1179 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,320 Speaker 2: from the biscuit tin because she couldn't even organize herself 1180 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,760 Speaker 2: turn up on time. That's the sort of business acumen 1181 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 2: that you're potentially going to be electing to run this 1182 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,440 Speaker 2: country next year. Good luck with that. Eleven Away from 1183 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 2: eight the. 1184 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 1: Mike Costing Breakfast with a Vita Retirement Communities News togs had. 1185 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 2: Be it's away from it. We've got our new wood 1186 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 2: Energy strategy and action plan. But you didn't know that. 1187 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 2: I mean on a busy day of weather and of 1188 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:47,440 Speaker 2: course strikes, I bet you didn't know we had our 1189 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 2: wood Energy Strategy and action plan out. The idea is 1190 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 2: to fire up no pun intended, the bio energy sector. 1191 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 2: Wood energy, they argue, could replace forty percent of the 1192 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 2: fossil fuel by twenty fifty. That's your equivalent apparently, of 1193 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,600 Speaker 2: three hundred thousand tons of coal from Huntley. 1194 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 17: So. 1195 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 2: Brian Cox is the executive officer of the Bio Energy 1196 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,240 Speaker 2: Association and is with us Brian Morning good morning. Twenty 1197 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 2: fifty is still a long way off. Where's the industry 1198 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,960 Speaker 2: as a whole at as we sit here in twenty 1199 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 2: twenty five. 1200 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 20: It's been really developing quite fast, but we need to 1201 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 20: go faster and this is what the government did yesterday 1202 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 20: is a little step in the way. But we've got 1203 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,359 Speaker 20: to do a lot more because we've got such an 1204 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 20: opportunity which we're missing because we're just too slow about 1205 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,880 Speaker 20: doing it. But we've got the biggest resource energy resource 1206 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 20: in the country is in our forest. 1207 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 12: Yes it is export Is it just wood? 1208 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,640 Speaker 2: I'm reading a lot about Fonterra and they're flipping some 1209 00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,200 Speaker 2: of their furnaces to what we call biomass. Is wood 1210 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 2: biomass or is that completely different? 1211 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:46,359 Speaker 20: No, same thing. 1212 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:46,839 Speaker 10: It's just. 1213 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 20: Two words saying the same thing. 1214 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,239 Speaker 2: Okay. So the difficulty with biomass once again, correct me up, 1215 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 2: I'm wrong. Is I saw a documentary and when wouldn't 1216 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 2: didn't provide the heat they wanted, they started burning tires, 1217 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,799 Speaker 2: which of course is not what you want because they 1218 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 2: are good with heat. So do we have an issue 1219 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:04,160 Speaker 2: here or not? 1220 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 3: No? 1221 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 20: Absolutely not. Is that we export in our log energy 1222 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 20: to other countries and we could be used at ourselves 1223 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 20: here now they have to proceed up. You put into 1224 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 20: a boiler, you make the heat, make eltricity, or you've 1225 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,400 Speaker 20: made heat. It's just a matter of you just got 1226 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 20: to do it. 1227 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,880 Speaker 2: If I run a commercial anything on coal, do I 1228 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 2: have to convert or do I just have to stop 1229 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 2: using coal and put wood in? 1230 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 20: Well, it depends on your boiler. But a lot of 1231 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 20: the boilers, and some of these are the Fonterra ones, 1232 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 20: which they've already done where they were on coal, and 1233 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 20: what they've done is they've flipped them into biomass in 1234 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 20: that case generally in a case of a wood palace. 1235 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 20: But there's a range of different wood fuels that you 1236 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,759 Speaker 20: can put in. There's some are just woodship and ups, 1237 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,040 Speaker 20: but palettes is the sort of a type end range and. 1238 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 2: The heat is still the same as coal, better wors Oh. 1239 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,160 Speaker 20: No, it's not as good and the cover of your 1240 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,799 Speaker 20: value of coal is much higher, so you do need 1241 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 20: more bio mass. But on the other hand is that 1242 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 20: it's a renewable domestic fuel and we've got plenty of it. 1243 00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 20: And as more and more people have converted from coal 1244 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:23,920 Speaker 20: or gas to using wood, is that the market has 1245 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 20: been responding and we're getting more and more picked up 1246 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 20: from the forest. You know, you drive past and you 1247 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 20: see all this debris left on the floor of slash. 1248 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 20: Sure that could be picked up and put into a work, 1249 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,400 Speaker 20: But if there's no way to use it, like what 1250 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 20: happened in entire rafty is you know, you don't pick 1251 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 20: it up because for what purpose. So we've got to 1252 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,920 Speaker 20: get so that people want to use it, and then 1253 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 20: people will pick it up and then it won't go 1254 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 20: onto the beach as it like Tollier Bay. 1255 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 2: If we started, if we just use wood tomorrow instead 1256 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 2: of coal, would we need to plant a lot more forests? 1257 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 11: Oh? Absolutely not. 1258 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 2: So we got all the forests, We got all the wood, 1259 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 2: all the forest, all the trees we need. 1260 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 20: We could do with more. If we went to our 1261 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 20: full potential, then we need to expand more. But we 1262 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 20: are so far away from that, and so we're talking 1263 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,880 Speaker 20: principally about the residues. So when you cut down a tree, 1264 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 20: they take the logs out, they take the good timber 1265 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 20: of that, and they leave a lot behind. It's that 1266 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 20: bit that they've leave behind that we're using at the moment, 1267 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,479 Speaker 20: and we'll be able to do that for a long time. 1268 00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 20: But then once we've used that, what do we do then, Well, 1269 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 20: some of the low grade logs that are going to 1270 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 20: China are real low grade, and we can get better 1271 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 20: value by preturning them into energy here and using it ourselves. 1272 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,320 Speaker 20: So as a no brainer that we should be using 1273 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 20: what we've already got and we're currently wasting all right. 1274 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:47,120 Speaker 2: Brian Nice Insight Price appreciated Brian Cox's executive officer at 1275 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 2: the Bio Energy Association. Winston's been on about that forever, 1276 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 2: not processing or not adding value to our logs in 1277 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 2: this particular part of the world. Interesting. I'm reading yesterday, 1278 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,520 Speaker 2: by the way, in related matter, Sam Whitelock's farm, which 1279 00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 2: I told you about what a week you go two 1280 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,920 Speaker 2: weeks ago in Hawks Bay. It's near Rissington, And so 1281 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,240 Speaker 2: there is some concern on social media, isn't there always 1282 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 2: that it's going to get sold off and it's going 1283 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 2: to be a forestry conversion anyway. Tony who's from Bailey's Rasmussen, 1284 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,160 Speaker 2: he's got the listing, he says, with the red meat 1285 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 2: prices at the moment, the it's productive lands, beautiful land's 1286 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 2: going to stay in the stay in the red meat 1287 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 2: business largely the numbers should stack up better for sheep 1288 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,080 Speaker 2: and beef. He says, we're the current returns we're getting 1289 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 2: and the TS restricts land conversion these days. Anyway, he 1290 00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 2: isn't expecting international buyers. He thinks local. He's got good 1291 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,480 Speaker 2: local interest. Highly likely it's going to be a New 1292 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 2: Zealand purchaser. So there's a good news story. One beautiful farm. 1293 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:48,040 Speaker 2: Two Sam Whitelocke, three stays unconverted. Four to a New 1294 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 2: Zealand buyer. You don't hear that good news every day 1295 00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 2: in the media.

Will do everything to keep you guys 1320 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 23: safe in these conditions. It's a tough business. And just 1321 01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 23: to go back to your question, No, I didn't join 1322 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 23: too with aspirations to necessarily be CEO. I'm completely honest. 1323 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 2: With what did you join by why of a company 1324 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 2: five years ago? And what does that company look like 1325 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 2: now that you're running it five years on? 1326 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,439 Speaker 23: Yeah, the call I got was to was to sort 1327 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 23: of join the company to be part of the rebuilt program, 1328 01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 23: rebuilding the airline back out of COVID I joined during 1329 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 23: the second lockdown, and you know, I often describe this 1330 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,920 Speaker 23: to people and say, airlines were never designed with a 1331 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,240 Speaker 23: with an off switch. They're sort of perpetual motion machines. 1332 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:45,960 Speaker 23: You've got to keep them going all the time. And 1333 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 23: so when we turned the airline off, basically, by and large, 1334 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,920 Speaker 23: turning it back on has been the most complex thing 1335 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,920 Speaker 23: I've done in my career. But it's also been the 1336 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 23: most rewarding. And each time we went about the rebuilt 1337 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:05,080 Speaker 23: process and where and had to deal with another crisis, 1338 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,440 Speaker 23: one crisis after another. You know what's been most rewarding 1339 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 23: is our focus has been to never waste that crisis. 1340 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,200 Speaker 23: So we've been busy investing in the long term health 1341 01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:20,080 Speaker 23: of the business, in physical infrastructure, a lot of digital work, 1342 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:21,640 Speaker 23: and in our people. 1343 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 2: I don't even know that I want to go here. 1344 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 2: But you talk about closing the aligned down, not everybody 1345 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 2: during COVID did close the air line down globally. Of course, 1346 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,440 Speaker 2: I wonder if us closing as a country, our relined 1347 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:35,240 Speaker 2: down was a mistake. 1348 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 23: We have taken a lot of lessons actually out of COVID, 1349 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 23: and some of that you're seeing in our current financial 1350 01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 23: performance in hindsight, one of the things we would have 1351 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 23: done differently is some of these more critical, very specialized roles, 1352 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 23: we would. 1353 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,760 Speaker 2: Have held on to them for much longer. 1354 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,280 Speaker 23: You know, it takes six years to retrain an aircraft engineer, 1355 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,200 Speaker 23: for example. Once you let go of a lot of 1356 01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 23: that capacity, building it back an innodinate amount of time. 1357 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,440 Speaker 23: That's why this game around, even though demand's been low, 1358 01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 23: we're holding much more capacity in some of those very 1359 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:15,280 Speaker 23: critical capabilities, and I think that's the right thing to 1360 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:15,680 Speaker 23: be doing. 1361 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 2: Also, I don't know whether it was part of your 1362 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 2: job in any way, shape or form, but the airline 1363 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 2: went to the government of the day and got what 1364 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,439 Speaker 2: I seem to think was one of the worst deals 1365 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 2: in the history of financial deals ever. And there's a 1366 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 2: market out there for good money for aviation companies who 1367 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 2: wanted to borrow. You guys went and borrowed from the 1368 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 2: government and paid a price for that. Do you regret that. 1369 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 23: It's before my time? Makee to be honest with you, 1370 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 23: and I haven't. You know, I've heard that narrative, But 1371 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,800 Speaker 23: there were some incredibly intelligent, capable people working this problem, 1372 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 23: and you know, I think that narrative may be overly. 1373 01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,680 Speaker 2: Simplistic, the perfect storm scenario. So you bought a series 1374 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 2: of planes from a company that couldn't deliver your engines 1375 01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:00,800 Speaker 2: went wrong. It's still an issue long term. You've got 1376 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,840 Speaker 2: ongoing scrapes with them and and your head COVID. I mean, 1377 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 2: you couldn't have orchestrated a bigger calamity if you set 1378 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,000 Speaker 2: out to orchestra one. 1379 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:15,920 Speaker 23: Could you tough circumstances? Yeah, you're right, But you know, 1380 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,640 Speaker 23: New Zealand relies on aviation quite a bit more than 1381 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:23,480 Speaker 23: most countries around the world. About fourteen to sixteen percent 1382 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 23: of our GDP relies on it. I mean, if you 1383 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 23: contrast that with the United States, which is a you know, 1384 01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 23: a very mature and a significant aviation market, but four 1385 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,400 Speaker 23: percent of their national GDP relies on it. And that's 1386 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 23: for obvious reasons. 1387 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:38,480 Speaker 10: Right. 1388 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 23: We're a fairly large, sparsely populated country in the middle 1389 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 23: of nowhere, far away from everywhere else, and we need 1390 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:49,720 Speaker 23: the airline. So this is tough circumstances for air New Zealand. 1391 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,520 Speaker 23: But it's not lost on us that that creates a 1392 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:57,040 Speaker 23: lot of strain on New Zealand and so we have 1393 01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,240 Speaker 23: to work damn hard to resolve them rather than feel 1394 01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:01,080 Speaker 23: sorry for ourselves. 1395 01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,400 Speaker 2: Given you are now in charge, and given what you 1396 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 2: told the market yesterday, what state is the company in 1397 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 2: right now? 1398 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 23: The company is in a fantastic state. 1399 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 10: You know. 1400 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 23: The fundamentals of the business are in real good shape. 1401 01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 23: We've been doing a lot of work around investing in 1402 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,480 Speaker 23: core infrastructure, as I've mentioned to you, and it's a 1403 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 23: complex business, like all of us. We bet on the 1404 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 23: fact that we had bottomed out from a sort of 1405 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 23: economic standpoint and things were coming right, and that's taken 1406 01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,920 Speaker 23: longer than we would like. We also bet on the 1407 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:40,160 Speaker 23: fact that taking the word of our key suppliers that 1408 01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:43,200 Speaker 23: we have our engines back and those both of those 1409 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,840 Speaker 23: things are taking a bit longer now. What I'm not saying, Mike, 1410 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 23: is that we don't have work to do. You know, 1411 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,480 Speaker 23: there is always work to do to improve your business, 1412 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 23: and we've got extensive plans to do that. But the 1413 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 23: fundamentals of the business are very strong. 1414 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,480 Speaker 2: Have you been lit down by aeroplane supplies and engine supplies, 1415 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,640 Speaker 2: I mean fundamentally let down. 1416 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 23: They've struggled with the same things that we've had to 1417 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 23: struggle with. Restarting the aviation system has been more complicated. 1418 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 23: You know, your titanium suppliers are in regions where there's war, 1419 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 23: for example. You know you've lost your engineers because we'd 1420 01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 23: built this highly globalized network of labor and parts, and 1421 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 23: those things are, as we all know, a bit wobbly 1422 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 23: at the moment. So I'm not sure I want to 1423 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:31,560 Speaker 23: necessarily throw them under the bus. But you know, it's 1424 01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,080 Speaker 23: been a while since we've come out of COVID. We 1425 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 23: all need to sort of get on with it, and 1426 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 23: they are. Last week, actually, I was with our board 1427 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 23: with the CEO of Boeing Group and the CEO of 1428 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,440 Speaker 23: the global Boeing Global Aviation Business, and they gave us 1429 01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:50,800 Speaker 23: most of their day. And we're a small airline, a 1430 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 23: very small customer. We have great relationships with them, and 1431 01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 23: they are coming right. They're starting to build more seven 1432 01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:58,720 Speaker 23: eight sevens in their factory in Charleston. 1433 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 2: Good all right, Nickel robershank In the new CEO of 1434 01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,600 Speaker 2: in New Zealand more on a moment. Thirteen past eight. 1435 01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 1: The mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, powered 1436 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1437 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 2: It be News Talks. It'll be sixteen past eight. Nicol 1438 01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,320 Speaker 2: Robershanker is the New Air New Zealand CEO. One of 1439 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 2: the most contentious things you'll deal with, and you'll be 1440 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,040 Speaker 2: well aware of it, given you're not new to the company. 1441 01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 2: Is this business of regional New Zealand and you rip 1442 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 2: people off and it's nine million dollars to fly to 1443 01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 2: Tamuru and it's unfair. How do you address that? 1444 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 23: I get that flying is very expensive. It's as expensive 1445 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 23: as it's ever been. One of the reasons for that 1446 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 23: is the costs of running an airline has gone up significantly. 1447 01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 23: Just to give you one stat we spend about four 1448 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 23: million dollars a day on fuel. A day on fuel 1449 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 23: costs have gone up about forty five percent. One of 1450 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 23: those costs is our own internal labor and that's gone 1451 01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:01,760 Speaker 23: up about twenty six percent since nineteen so at or 1452 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:06,960 Speaker 23: just below inflation. But spare parts are more expensive, aircraft 1453 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 23: more expensive, and you know. The more sinister issue, as 1454 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:14,480 Speaker 23: you know, and it's it's been Greg's passion project and 1455 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,799 Speaker 23: it will continue to be mine, is the aviation system 1456 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,280 Speaker 23: costs that have gone up significantly, including our landing charges. 1457 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,439 Speaker 23: So what we're trying to do is not pass all 1458 01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 23: of it to the consumer because we get that air 1459 01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 23: travel is expensive, and our recent market guidance is proof 1460 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:37,320 Speaker 23: of that. But we'll continue to try and optimize costs 1461 01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:39,560 Speaker 23: and we'll continue to fight for long term interests of 1462 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:45,120 Speaker 23: the consumer. But in certain situations, Mike, there is probably 1463 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,520 Speaker 23: a need for us to look at sort of situational 1464 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 23: subsidies for some of these routes. I've spent a bit 1465 01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 23: of time studying what happens in Norway, for example. You know, 1466 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 23: there are communities that rely on air travel quite significantly. 1467 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:04,160 Speaker 23: There are very very sub subeconomic you know, our competitors 1468 01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 23: have no interest in going anywhere near those places. We 1469 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,559 Speaker 23: do because we don't have a transactional relationship with New Zealand. 1470 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:14,200 Speaker 23: But we need to make sure that we continue to 1471 01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,479 Speaker 23: keep those communities connected. 1472 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,400 Speaker 2: So the subsidy comes from where the government or. 1473 01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:21,920 Speaker 23: You well, at the moment, there is none and so 1474 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 23: we're you know, the shareholder is by you know, it 1475 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 23: ends up subsidizing, I suppose, but it needs to be 1476 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 23: more of a systematic conversation about what does air travel 1477 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,439 Speaker 23: mean to the local GDP of the regions and how 1478 01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 23: do we continue to support that. 1479 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,320 Speaker 2: That's encouraging if I take you what you would and 1480 01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,960 Speaker 2: what you said to the market yesterday. You are losing money. 1481 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:47,040 Speaker 2: You expect to lose money. So if you got all 1482 01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,720 Speaker 2: your planes, and you got all your engines, and you 1483 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:52,599 Speaker 2: got what you said before about the company's structurally being 1484 01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 2: in a sound place, one would you be making money? 1485 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:57,040 Speaker 2: And two how much. 1486 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:03,320 Speaker 23: National flac car particularly New Zealand. So in New Zealand, 1487 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 23: so air New Zealand. Because we are a small market, 1488 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:12,920 Speaker 23: our success is inextricably linked with New Zealand's success. So 1489 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 23: the other variable I'd throw in there is the New 1490 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 23: Zealand economy. If all of those conditions are true, of 1491 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:25,519 Speaker 23: course we would be making money and a sustainable airline. 1492 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 23: And New Zealand needs a sustainable airline more than most 1493 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 23: countries for the reasons I pointed out earlier. Should be 1494 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 23: making reasonably somewhere between eight to ten percent EBIT margin 1495 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,599 Speaker 23: and about fourteen percent return on invested capital. That would 1496 01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 23: be at a sort of six billion dollars of revenue, 1497 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,000 Speaker 23: about four hundred and eighty million to six hundred million dollars. 1498 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,599 Speaker 2: So let's bpak to the good or though it's pre COVID, 1499 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 2: that was the number roughly right, roughly. 1500 01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:52,920 Speaker 10: Yeah, it was. 1501 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 2: It was sort of the number. 1502 01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,679 Speaker 23: And to put that in context, you know, last year's 1503 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,880 Speaker 23: profit one hundred and thirty million dollars or just under 1504 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 23: wouldn't buy you half a seven eight. 1505 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 11: Seven, could you be? 1506 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:06,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I know you won't want to answer this, 1507 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 2: but does having a government with the stake they've got, 1508 01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 2: is that good for business or not? Or should you 1509 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 2: be sold? 1510 01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:17,880 Speaker 23: That's a question for the shareholder and the board. But 1511 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,400 Speaker 23: if you want my opinion, because I've got one, I 1512 01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 23: love this country and given what's happening to geopolitically and so on, 1513 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:29,080 Speaker 23: I think an airline is critically important. 1514 01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:32,840 Speaker 2: For New Zealand to be owned by New Zealanders, well, for. 1515 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 23: New Zealanders have to have some agency in that. 1516 01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 2: So either floated or owned directly by the government, whatever 1517 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 2: way you wanted. Well, the only thing I'd argue with 1518 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 2: is because we're running out of time. The only thing 1519 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,599 Speaker 2: I'd argue with when you talk about the New Zealand economy. 1520 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 2: You're right, but to the extent that we've seen it 1521 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:52,599 Speaker 2: all over the world. People travel and we travel. Yes, 1522 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 2: you don't seem to be benefiting from that the way 1523 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 2: other airlines are. Some airlines globally are fantastically profitable because 1524 01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 2: we've all gone nuts post COVID. We have gone nuts. 1525 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,320 Speaker 23: You know, we as New zealand as aren't traveling to 1526 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,800 Speaker 23: the United States as much, for example, because they're dollars 1527 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 23: a week and politics may or may not have a 1528 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 23: role in it, but you know, we need to we 1529 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 23: need to acknowledge that. And just to be clear, Mike, 1530 01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:21,040 Speaker 23: I think companies like Air New Zealand can't be victims 1531 01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,560 Speaker 23: of the you know, economy. 1532 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:23,559 Speaker 17: We have a. 1533 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,400 Speaker 23: Massive role to play to influence the outcome. And one 1534 01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,719 Speaker 23: way we're influencing the outcome is going to places like Asia, 1535 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,640 Speaker 23: going to places like the United States and trying to 1536 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:37,080 Speaker 23: convince the recession proof rich citizens of those places to 1537 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 23: get here and spend their money not once, but make 1538 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,240 Speaker 23: New Zealand a repeat, you know, destination for their holidays. 1539 01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:44,080 Speaker 2: How long are you here for? 1540 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 23: I think, you know, one of the things Greg's done 1541 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,400 Speaker 23: is really created room for growth and having a good 1542 01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:59,520 Speaker 23: succession plan in place. Working for Air New Zealand is 1543 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 23: honestly truly one of the great honors and privileges in 1544 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,160 Speaker 23: my life. But I have a huge responsibility to then 1545 01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,240 Speaker 23: make sure someone else is ready to take that over. 1546 01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:13,120 Speaker 23: So as soon as a good succession plan is in 1547 01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,639 Speaker 23: place and we've sort of navigated through the next chapter, 1548 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:18,400 Speaker 23: I'll get out of the way and give the next 1549 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 23: person I go. 1550 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:22,240 Speaker 2: We will talk to you again, hopefully soon.

And it's as bad as that 1608 01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:16,000 Speaker 22: because it was set up opportunistically by the government to 1609 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:20,599 Speaker 22: try and deflect attention away from what everybody wanted, which 1610 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:24,200 Speaker 22: was a proper judicial inquiry with a judge leading it. 1611 01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:30,200 Speaker 22: It has been a catalog of disasters. It's destroyed the 1612 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:34,439 Speaker 22: reputation of the of the rather gobby but very popular 1613 01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:40,200 Speaker 22: at one point Labor chair Chess Phillips.

That bloke who was expected to take 1618 01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,280 Speaker 22: over as chair, Jim Gamble, a former head of Child 1619 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:07,280 Speaker 22: Exploitation and Online Protection Center, has also stood down, talking 1620 01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:11,880 Speaker 22: about political opportunism. So it's it's it's it's it's a 1621 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 22: it's a wreckage. 1622 01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:16,960 Speaker 2: So in so just a bank. What is the problem 1623 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,200 Speaker 2: is what that it's a stitch up. It's not real. 1624 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,400 Speaker 2: They don't believe in it. It's going nowhere? Is that 1625 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:22,880 Speaker 2: is that the cracks of it? 1626 01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,080 Speaker 22: Yeah, that's roughly it. That it's not going to be 1627 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 22: taken seriously enough. And then it's got a predetermined outcome. 1628 01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:31,720 Speaker 22: If you remember, the Labor government did not want a 1629 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:37,000 Speaker 22: national inquiry at all under any circumstances, because they knew 1630 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 22: it would offend their very large proportion of voters who 1631 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:46,679 Speaker 22: are Muslim. And indeed it will, I will have thought 1632 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 22: if he was going to do its job properly. And 1633 01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:52,320 Speaker 22: so they fought tooth and they will not have a 1634 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:56,200 Speaker 22: national inquiry. Finally gave in when the Commons went berserk 1635 01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:59,439 Speaker 22: and said you've got to do this and and but 1636 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:05,280 Speaker 22: but did it in a way which was well short 1637 01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 22: of what any of the survivors were after. 1638 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 2: This story has had no coverage in this country at all. 1639 01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:13,960 Speaker 2: And I can't work out why the Tel Aviv thing. 1640 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:18,000 Speaker 2: And it's the Europa League, isn't it. 1641 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 22: It's just the Europa League, So what one step down 1642 01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 22: from there from the European Champions League here? 1643 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 2: How did they let them? I mean, how do you 1644 01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,599 Speaker 2: ban people because they're Jewish going to football? 1645 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:33,639 Speaker 22: It's it's it's remarkable, remarkable, and they had a shock 1646 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 22: to House of Commons, shocked the Prime Minister. But don't 1647 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,439 Speaker 22: forget we're talking about Birmingham, where the police and council 1648 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:42,840 Speaker 22: are aware that thirty percent of the people living there 1649 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,200 Speaker 22: are Muslim and some of them are very angry Muslims. 1650 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,760 Speaker 22: But it seems as well well basically aston Villa were 1651 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:53,840 Speaker 22: to pay to play Maccabee Hyper Maccabi tel Aviv rather 1652 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:58,960 Speaker 22: in the the Europa Cup, and the decision was taken 1653 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 22: by the Midlands Police in conjunction with West Midlands Council 1654 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 22: that Maccabee Tel Aviv fans would be banned from attending. 1655 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,280 Speaker 22: Of course, an awful one of those fans of people 1656 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:14,519 Speaker 22: who live in this country well, who support them from 1657 01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 22: Afar usually so quite clearly on the other side of 1658 01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:23,360 Speaker 22: the fence, Zara Sultana, who's one of the co founders 1659 01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,759 Speaker 22: of the very very left wing Your Party with Jeremy Corby, 1660 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,800 Speaker 22: has said that Maccabee Hyper fans shouldn't really be banned 1661 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 22: from going to the match. They should be arrested if 1662 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,040 Speaker 22: they set foot in the country as been complicit in 1663 01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 22: the genocide of Palestinians. That is the level of hatred 1664 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,160 Speaker 22: and vitriol which Jewish people in Great Britain I'm afraid 1665 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:45,639 Speaker 22: are getting every day done. 1666 01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 2: Really, how does it get resolved? I mean sure of 1667 01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:49,600 Speaker 2: them being able to go to the match, like you know, 1668 01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:52,599 Speaker 2: you're allowed to because it's a free society. Sure, how 1669 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:53,480 Speaker 2: do you resolve. 1670 01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:58,120 Speaker 22: Well, it may resolve itself by Maccabee tel Aviv saying 1671 01:19:58,160 --> 01:19:59,960 Speaker 22: they don't want their fans to go because they fear 1672 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:06,559 Speaker 22: their safety, which is which is another possibility. But as 1673 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:10,720 Speaker 22: far as I could see, all of the authorities investigating 1674 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,679 Speaker 22: with us say that mcabee Televi Evans should be allowed 1675 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,080 Speaker 22: to gain and they were trying to work towards a 1676 01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:17,679 Speaker 22: resolution which will get them there. 1677 01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,400 Speaker 2: Unreal. I'm still really I got your inflation number this morning, 1678 01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:23,680 Speaker 2: which is jeez, we thought we were bared at three year. 1679 01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:26,719 Speaker 2: At three point seven, I'm looking forward to Rachel's magic 1680 01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,200 Speaker 2: that she calls a budget coming up as your national 1681 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:33,000 Speaker 2: date yesterday hit a record setting two point nine pounds. 1682 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,559 Speaker 2: How does she dig herself out of this? I mean 1683 01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 2: there's I just don't see anything in your economy that 1684 01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,040 Speaker 2: fills me with a level of confidence i'd be looking 1685 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,280 Speaker 2: for if I was the chancellor. 1686 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 22: Tax rises is the answer, and I was just going 1687 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:49,479 Speaker 22: to put up income tax. I would have thought quite 1688 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,880 Speaker 22: possibly on both the top two rats of income texts. 1689 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 22: That's I said. What she will say, so indirect contravention 1690 01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,880 Speaker 22: of everything that she said during the lead up to 1691 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:04,080 Speaker 22: the last election. She will try she will try to 1692 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,559 Speaker 22: pretend that she's also cutting welfare benefits, but they will 1693 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 22: continue to grow and grow and grow because she can 1694 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 22: make no meaningful cutting them. When there is a Labor 1695 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,000 Speaker 22: majority in the House, it just won't get passed through 1696 01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 22: and so it will go from bad to worse. This budget. 1697 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,080 Speaker 22: I cannot remember people dreading the budget. 1698 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:29,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I get that, ye all right, might go, well, 1699 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 2: we'll see you next week. Appreciate it very much. Rod 1700 01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 2: a little out of out of Britain this morning. By 1701 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 2: the way, it's been a pole. I gave you the 1702 01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,879 Speaker 2: pole the other day in Britain, the Yugas in England 1703 01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 2: and farage and reform are going to bolt home in 1704 01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,759 Speaker 2: a way that you thought that pole can't possibly be accurate. 1705 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,599 Speaker 2: Not as dramatic but interesting. Nevertheless, they vote next year, 1706 01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:50,720 Speaker 2: so it's more relevant. In Wales and the poll out 1707 01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,160 Speaker 2: yesterday Reform I've got a seven point lead over Labor. 1708 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:59,560 Speaker 2: This is both in research thirty percent up five for reform. 1709 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:02,840 Speaker 2: Just a growth from June Labour on twenty three, so 1710 01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:07,840 Speaker 2: thirty to twenty three, Playedcomery. The Welsh Party twenty two 1711 01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:11,800 Speaker 2: Conservatives eleven, Greens nine. Now what's interesting about that is 1712 01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 2: they tried to extrapolate out the numbers into seats because 1713 01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,200 Speaker 2: first past the post, of course, it seems that reform 1714 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:23,840 Speaker 2: would have thirty seven, the remaining fifty nine will be split, 1715 01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,640 Speaker 2: and so therefore no one would deal with reform. So 1716 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:28,840 Speaker 2: you're into that scenario that you've had in places like 1717 01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:33,920 Speaker 2: Holland where the leading party can't form a government. Popular 1718 01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:38,599 Speaker 2: but not popular enough to form a government. Sixteen two The. 1719 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:43,040 Speaker 1: High Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 1720 01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 1: News Talks at b. 1721 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,559 Speaker 2: Is this unfair? Let me ask you this. Thirteen to nine, Mike, 1722 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:49,720 Speaker 2: we have a high profile mayor, Ken Laban. I know 1723 01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 2: Ken Kim's a good bloke. He was commentating the rugby 1724 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,679 Speaker 2: league at Mount Smart last weekend. Continuing this commentating career 1725 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,000 Speaker 2: while mayor of one of New Zealand's biggest cities doesn't 1726 01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 2: seem right, doesn't it. You realize what mayors do, don't you, 1727 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,840 Speaker 2: babr All, he'd be grateful for a bit of something 1728 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,960 Speaker 2: to keep himself occupied. I mean, couldn'tess sake? Was it 1729 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,960 Speaker 2: Michael Laws years ago? Was he the mayor of Napier 1730 01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,920 Speaker 2: or wherever he was was long I know he was 1731 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 2: to he said it was a part time job at 1732 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,719 Speaker 2: the best. You know, now, next time we get Erica 1733 01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,639 Speaker 2: on the program, I'm needing to talk to her about 1734 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,320 Speaker 2: this business. So this goes back once again to the primary. 1735 01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:29,200 Speaker 2: Back at the start, it was the Prime Minister and 1736 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,840 Speaker 2: the change of rules for the eighteen to nineteen year 1737 01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,639 Speaker 2: odds on job seeker and how there were people crying 1738 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:35,920 Speaker 2: out for workers, and then you know, half the media 1739 01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 2: went about the place trying to tell us there were 1740 01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,400 Speaker 2: no jobs, and you know, these poor people couldn't possibly 1741 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 2: find a job of their life depended on it. And 1742 01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:45,640 Speaker 2: then yesterday gave you the example of the engineering logistics 1743 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,800 Speaker 2: industry in general that was one hundred and fifty seven 1744 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,120 Speaker 2: thousand short and we needed more people into it. Otherwise 1745 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:51,760 Speaker 2: we're importing people now this morning, and can tell you 1746 01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,599 Speaker 2: about the bus drivers. So we've got a looming driver shortage. 1747 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,920 Speaker 2: Apparently the government needs to review. They claim the post 1748 01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:01,479 Speaker 2: grade level English language require it's for residency. Now many 1749 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 2: of the people in the country, of course, who are 1750 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,400 Speaker 2: bus drivers, come into the country from offshore and they 1751 01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,720 Speaker 2: come in for a residency path. About twenty percent of 1752 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,400 Speaker 2: the urban public transport driver workforce is on a temporary 1753 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:15,559 Speaker 2: work visa. Those visas expire apparently next year. Stanford, they say, 1754 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,160 Speaker 2: she says we should find New Zealand drivers. Well, of 1755 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 2: course we should, but they would argue, I'm assuming we 1756 01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 2: can't find any. So once again we're back at this 1757 01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,800 Speaker 2: weird intersection where we've got over one hundred thousand people 1758 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,320 Speaker 2: without a job, and we've got people looking for people 1759 01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,120 Speaker 2: to do jobs, but we magically somehow can't find them. 1760 01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,240 Speaker 2: Truck drivers they're problems as well. Now part of the 1761 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,759 Speaker 2: truck driver thing is they're arguing that they and they 1762 01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:43,760 Speaker 2: cited a bloke he'd come in from South Africa. His 1763 01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,439 Speaker 2: only language is English, but he's failing the test. So 1764 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,439 Speaker 2: you've got to score six point five on the specific test, 1765 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 2: the IELTS general or academic test. Now he claims he 1766 01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:58,679 Speaker 2: speaks English, he's from South Africa, but he keeps failing 1767 01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,439 Speaker 2: the test. So it's four hundred dollars a test he's 1768 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:03,000 Speaker 2: done at six times, so two and a half thousand 1769 01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,080 Speaker 2: dollars later, he's no better. Often because he count passed 1770 01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 2: the test, he doesn't get to be a resident. So 1771 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:08,720 Speaker 2: he's back off to South Africa, and all the other 1772 01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:10,559 Speaker 2: people who've come into the country to drive a bus 1773 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:15,200 Speaker 2: back off home where they came from. So either we go, well, look, 1774 01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:18,160 Speaker 2: if you can't speak the language to our understanding, then 1775 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,439 Speaker 2: forget it and we get local drivers, or we can't 1776 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:23,280 Speaker 2: get local drivers.

Anyway, 1788 01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,639 Speaker 2: they've got your real estate needs covered.

So people at the beating heart of everything 1793 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:09,880 Speaker 2: they do. This is the key to all of this. 1794 01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:13,559 Speaker 2: They've built this legacy basically abouting value, consistently giving their 1795 01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,160 Speaker 2: clients the cutting edge in this competitive marketplace, and very 1796 01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 2: proud to be one hundred percent here. We owned and 1797 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:21,160 Speaker 2: operated a beatable local knowledge presence in every corner of 1798 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:23,920 Speaker 2: the country because a friendly face and a firm handshake 1799 01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:25,360 Speaker 2: is still the best way to do business. That's what 1800 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,559 Speaker 2: we know and love. So through a comprehensive range of 1801 01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:31,599 Speaker 2: services and strategic international partnerships, don't forget about that, Bailey 1802 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:33,360 Speaker 2: is going to find the bars that others can't. It's 1803 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 2: that simple. They're the best Baileys dot co, dot n 1804 01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 2: Z asking now, Zelensky is claiming this morning he agreed 1805 01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:49,000 Speaker 2: with Trump to freeze, like stop the war right now 1806 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:53,360 Speaker 2: and we'll talk now. Zelensky claims he agreed to that. 1807 01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,040 Speaker 2: It's now being reported this morning that Moscow didn't, isn't won't. 1808 01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,320 Speaker 2: So Russia continuing demand full control of Donbas before they 1809 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,479 Speaker 2: go any further. So you get the sense that Trump 1810 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 2: has been completely enoughughly stitched up and that Putin is 1811 01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,439 Speaker 2: just playing him like a puppet, and never the Twain 1812 01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 2: shall meet. So I don't know now where this goes. 1813 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,720 Speaker 2: Because Trump keeps threatening that bad, bad things are going 1814 01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 2: to happen. He keep saying bad things are going to happen, 1815 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,640 Speaker 2: and bad things aren't happening. And Europe, I don't know 1816 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,639 Speaker 2: how many meetings they want to have about the stuff 1817 01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:31,320 Speaker 2: they're going to do that never really eventuates or comes 1818 01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,559 Speaker 2: to anything. We might have tomahawks or tomahawks. You don't 1819 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:38,040 Speaker 2: want tomahawks. Tomaks are very bad. And so with everybody 1820 01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,639 Speaker 2: just sitting on their hands and having meetings and Trump 1821 01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,040 Speaker 2: making phone calls and we're going to have this meeting 1822 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,960 Speaker 2: in Buddha Pesta. Whoops, No, we're not. Pretty much Putin's 1823 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,799 Speaker 2: running the show here, and until somebody changes and actually 1824 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 2: does something apart from talking, Putin's going to continue to 1825 01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:55,200 Speaker 2: run the show.
