1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm not. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 2: Questions, answers, facts analysis, The Drive show you trust for 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: the full picture. Heather Duplessy Ellen Drive with One New 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: Zealand let's get connected news talks. 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 3: They'd be. 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 4: Hey, good afternoon, welcome to the show. 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 5: Today. 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 4: Coming out, we've got the doctors on being called back 9 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 4: to the negotiating table over the strike, David Seymour on 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 4: the ministerial jobs that he wants to cut. And we're 11 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 4: going to speak to a respiratory physician on the groundbreaking 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 4: study that shows that actually, yes, faithing does cause chronic 13 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 4: lung disease. 14 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: What a surprise, Heather Dupasicy Ellen. 15 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 4: Now I've done a bit of an exercise today, right. 16 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 4: I started reading the news this morning and I was 17 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 4: really quickly struck by how many opinion pieces and comments 18 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 4: of outrage there were over the government removing the voting 19 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 4: rights from prisoners. There was just by my account, two 20 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 4: full opinion pieces by academics, a newsletter that landed in 21 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 4: my inbox, a left wing blog post, outrage from labor, 22 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 4: and outrage from the Greens. So when I saw that, 23 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 4: I thought, there's quite a lot coming from these guys. 24 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 4: I'll just do a little It might be interesting to 25 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 4: compare this to how many opinion pieces and comments of 26 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 4: outrage there are about the four killings currently in the 27 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 4: news that have all been committed by people either previously 28 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 4: in jail or previously in mental health care. And if 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 4: you don't know what I'm talking about, it's the man 30 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 4: who has now murdered twice and been found in saying twice. 31 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 4: It's the two murders by Hilmrton mental health patients, and 32 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 4: it's the murder by the parole rapist in christ Church. 33 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 4: All of them have been in the news just in 34 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 4: the last few days. I didn't find one piece, not 35 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 4: one opinion piece by an academic about this, not one 36 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 4: comment of outrage from the Greens. And the only relevant 37 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 4: comment that I could find from Labor was the Labory 38 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 4: and p saying that it was inappropriate to comment on 39 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 4: it now. Doesn't that tell you a lot about where 40 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 4: we're putting our energy at the moment we are? It 41 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 4: would seem angsting more about protecting the right that a 42 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 4: prisoner has to vote, a right which by the way, 43 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 4: we just told yesterday on the show most prisoners don't 44 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: even want. But we are angsting ourselves over protecting them, 45 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 4: and we are more angsting for angsting more about protecting 46 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 4: that than we are about protecting the rights of innocent 47 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 4: people not to be hurt by high risk people who 48 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 4: we know are high risk. Now we should be interrogating 49 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 4: the agencies responsible here, We should be finding out what 50 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 4: went wrong, and we should be angsting over it so 51 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 4: it doesn't happen again. And I would venture that our 52 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 4: priorities are way out of whack if we are more 53 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: stressed in the news media about where the bad guys 54 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 4: can vote than where the authorities are keeping innocent people safe. 55 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: Ever, duplicy Allen text. 56 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 4: Numbers nine two nine to two standard text fees applied. Now, 57 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 4: the Commerce Commission, the Commas Commission, has said it will 58 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: not conduct a market study into domestic air travel. This 59 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 4: has of course been a topic of conversation a lot lately, 60 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 4: the price of air New Zealand tickets. There have been 61 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: calls for a study, and so doctor John Small, the 62 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: chair of the Commers Commission, has pinned in a pen 63 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 4: an opinion piece on this today and he's with us. Now, 64 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 4: Hey John, good John, So take it from your opinion 65 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 4: piece that basically the reasons that you're not going to intervene. 66 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 4: Is number one. It's expensive to fly a plane. Who 67 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: it's even more expensive to fly a plane on regional routes, 68 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 4: So nobody wants to compete. In number three in the 69 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: parts where it really matters, like the big the big 70 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 4: jet flights, they've got competition. Is that about right? 71 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 6: That's a reasonable summary year. But also I think you know, 72 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 6: at the moment competition on the main trunk lines is 73 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 6: a bit hand put by by the fact that their 74 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 6: intet's got a bunch of planes that are out of service. 75 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 6: But yeah, generally speaking, that's right. It's very expensive to 76 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 6: fly to fly regional routes that are quite sure and 77 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 6: don't have a lot of demand on them. 78 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 4: Okay, So the allegation that's been laid at the feet 79 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 4: of Air New Zealand at the moment is basically that 80 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 4: it's jacking up its prices on those big on the 81 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 4: domestic routes in order to make more money. Is that fair? 82 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 4: Are they allowed to do that? 83 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 6: Well that there's there's no law against charging high prices. 84 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 6: That's that's the reality of things in New Zealand. If 85 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 6: it's a monopoly on a monopoly route, it's potentially able 86 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 6: be regulated, but that would require quite a bit of 87 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 6: investigation to make sure that you weren't you weren't overreaching 88 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 6: to do that. And that's not really that's not really 89 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 6: a competition issue. That's a regulatory issue. So from the 90 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 6: point of view competition, you know, we're not we're not 91 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 6: particularly happy with what we see. We keep still still 92 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 6: keeping a really close eye on it, but there's nothing 93 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 6: that we saw that's going to warrant the effort that 94 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 6: would go into a market study too. I mean, we've 95 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 6: already found out a few things that are going to 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 6: be helpful and so yeah, our viewers that we'll keep 97 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 6: a close eye on it and and and see how 98 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 6: it develops. 99 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 4: Onday in New Zealand have a monopoly on most of 100 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 4: the regional routes. 101 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 6: Well, there's some regional routes that don't fly, and that's 102 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 6: part of the issue that people have been complaining about 103 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 6: then with drawing services on routes that are and you 104 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 6: have to assume that those routes are footable, otherwise that'd 105 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 6: still be there. But yeah, I mean, so there's some 106 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 6: routes where there are a monopolists. There's some routes where 107 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 6: smaller airlines are a monopoly and there's been plenty of 108 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 6: I means the reason about a coverage abound particular smaller airlines, 109 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 6: even when they're flying monopoly routes, they're really struggling. 110 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: So on the monopoly routes, is there a case to 111 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 4: be made for regulation there? 112 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 6: Potentially, But that's a different matter to a market study, 113 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 6: which is a competition issue. So as I say, we're 114 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 6: still looking at this. We talked to the airport's pretty 115 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 6: pretty soon to get some more information from them. It's 116 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 6: not a there's not a once and for all things. 117 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 6: This is this is where we are at the moment. 118 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 4: Why did you decide to write this? What made you 119 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 4: write the editorial? 120 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 6: We thought it'd be a good idea. Well, we did 121 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 6: the work, first of all, because we are always looking 122 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 6: for ways to improve competition, and market studies are a 123 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 6: tool for that. So we thought, okay, that seems like 124 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 6: it's a bit of an issue here, let's have a 125 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 6: good So we've got a really cracked team together for 126 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 6: about a month or so and had a good look 127 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 6: at it, and then we thought, well, let's pot it 128 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 6: out there so people know what we found. 129 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 4: And were you feeling like you were being criticized for 130 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 4: not doing it. It felt like you had to come to 131 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 4: your own district defense of it. 132 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 6: No, no, not at all. No, But I mean we're 133 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 6: allowed to initiate market studies on our own volition or 134 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 6: the government can tell us to so they could still 135 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 6: tell us to us they wanted to. But we're always 136 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 6: looking for ways to improve competition, and so that's the 137 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 6: reason we looked at it. And having looked at it, 138 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 6: thought might as we tell people. 139 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 4: John, it's good to talk to you. Thank you for 140 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 4: your time. I really appreciate it. That's doctor John Small. 141 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 4: The chairperson of the Commerce Commission, Heather Well said, we 142 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 4: always say the same thing every time we hear this 143 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: crap about petty rubbish from the opposition. This is really 144 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 4: us having a massive cry about the voters. Not that 145 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: the prisoners not being able to vote, but not ones, 146 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 4: but not the serious topics yet, serious topics being people dying. Listen, Tesla, 147 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 4: I think this is fascinating. This afternoon, there's breaking news 148 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 4: out of the Wall Street Journal. Tesla's board has started 149 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 4: hunting for a new CEO to take over from Elon Musk. 150 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: At some stage. Now it's not clear exactly what is 151 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: going on here. Not clear if the board is basically 152 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 4: starting to make moves to force Elon out of the role, 153 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 4: or if that's simply sort of, you know, planning for 154 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 4: the future and thinking about legacy and trying to get 155 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 4: somebody to come in and you know, inevitably replace him 156 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: one day because he can't go on forever. But you'd 157 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: have to suspect that this is a move against Elon 158 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: Musk because number one, there are tensions apparently over the 159 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 4: fact that the sales and the profit are dropping fast 160 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 4: and he's spending so much time on Doge dealing with 161 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 4: Washington stuff that obviously. And second, these guys are not idiots, right, 162 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: so they know if this stuff hits the news, then 163 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: it basically starts this conversation and starts the ball rolling 164 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 4: in that direction.

The issue here is who enabled the Indian 226 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 8: Panthers who started this, because it's their problem, it's their fault. 227 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 8: They initiate, they opened the door, they let this team 228 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 8: in and they're surprised at all chaos and the hell 229 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 8: is broken loose. 230 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 4: So but now do they have to redraw the draw 231 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 4: I don't know.

Now can you argue with any of this 340 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 4: because I cannot. I'd get rid of the Women's Minister 341 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 4: as well, because I'll tell you later what she's been 342 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 4: up to us. Just nonsense. Ireland has a similar population 343 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: to us, and yet we have twenty eight ministers. They 344 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 4: have fifteen, so we have more ministers in the UK. 345 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense. He's going to be with us 346 00:15:53,560 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: ten past five uses next too, and now. 347 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: Putting the challenging questions to the people.

I mean, she's pleaded not guilty 425 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 5: to three counts of murder. And you know, he was 426 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 5: the first first witness. There's going to be many more. 427 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 5: I think this is down for five weeks head, so 428 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 5: there's going to be a whole lot more of this 429 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 5: absolutely intriguing story to come. 430 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 4: Must tell me about this paramedic who's been giving some 431 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 4: information to the inquest on the BONDI stabbing. 432 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, in the same way that the inquest is looking 433 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 5: at the deaths of these six people and the injuries 434 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 5: to the ten others, so to our emergency service is 435 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 5: now examining through this inquest, the responses to that dreadful 436 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 5: Saturday afternoon over in Sydney's eastern suburbs. What you've got here, 437 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 5: one single police officer, a police woman happened to be nearby. 438 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 5: Luckily happened to be nearby. She got there in time 439 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 5: to shoot Joel Coucy dead. But on the back of 440 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 5: that police worked one hundred percent sure heeader was there 441 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 5: a second person going crazy in the shopping sanded with 442 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 5: a knife. The first report said there's a guy going 443 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 5: nuts with a gun, so everybody's flocked there. Amy, I 444 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 5: forget the police officer's name, now my bad, but she's 445 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 5: got there in a heartbeatalized. The guy shot him dead, 446 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 5: but the police had to be satisfied there was no 447 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 5: one else going nuts in the center. That's why paramedics 448 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 5: were held outside. These are specialist paramedics who were out 449 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 5: there absolutely chafing. They wanted to get inside. They knew 450 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 5: people were dead, they knew people were injured, possibly dying. 451 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 5: They wanted to get in there, but police said, no, 452 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 5: you can't go in. So there's a vastly experienced paramedic 453 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: has been giving every it's nearly fifty years in the job, 454 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 5: a total specialist. But he's talked about there was no 455 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 5: personal protective gear available for the paramedics that day, a 456 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 5: rostering cock up, if you like, meant that basically meant 457 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 5: there were no specially trained emergency top level paramedics available. 458 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 5: And he's also suggested, listen, if this ever happens again, 459 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 5: God forbid, what about two of us go in with 460 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 5: police police escorting us to go and check on the 461 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 5: injured people. So these are some of the things that 462 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 5: are now being analyzed in this inquest. Was the response 463 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 5: good enough? Apparently there was nothing that could have been 464 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 5: done to save those who died, and the ones who 465 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 5: were injured were got out in time. So to that extent, 466 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 5: I suppose the loved ones of those who died and 467 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 5: who were injured, I suppose there's a measure of comfort 468 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 5: there that no one passed away who wasn't going to 469 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 5: pass away anyway. 470 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 4: Is the suggestion from this paramedic that they would have 471 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 4: gone in even though the police are telling them not to. 472 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 4: They would have risked their own lives and gone it. 473 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 5: That's the inference from the paramedic. I mean, look, they're 474 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 5: not there to be silly and you know, risk their 475 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 5: own lives. He's saying, listen, if it's necessary let's go 476 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 5: in with police. Police are armed, they're trying to shoot 477 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: people if they have to. We're not. We're there to 478 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 5: save life as best we possibly can. And I think 479 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 5: that's the tenor of his Testamenty. 480 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 4: Now, listen, how bad is this YouGov poll for Peter 481 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 4: dusn't he buddy? 482 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 13: Hell? 483 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 5: It looks grim And if this comes true, and don't 484 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 5: forget you gov as the organization. It's not like News 485 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 5: Public's run by Murdoch or the other side. The nine 486 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 5: newspaper network over here has its own polling system. You 487 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 5: God was widely regarded as perhaps the most reliable of 488 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 5: these Internet polling organizations. And if these figures come true 489 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 5: on Saturday, terrible news for Peter Dutton in the opposition. 490 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 5: The latest figures show label will not only be returned 491 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 5: on Saturday with an increased majority, it'll have a majority government. 492 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 5: It'll have maybe eighty four seats in the one hundred 493 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 5: and fifty seat parliament, the Coalition down to below fifty 494 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 5: forty seven seats, the lowest percentage, Heather, if this comes 495 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 5: true since nineteen hundred and forty six, Now you and 496 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 5: I have spoken before. This campaign for the opposition has 497 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 5: been an absolute disaster policy black flips on the run 498 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 5: Peter Dutton talked about living in Sydney on the harbor 499 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 5: there in the Prime Minister's houses. Instead of talking about 500 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 5: cost of living, it's cost of living dummy. It should 501 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 5: have been banged and it was head in day one. 502 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 5: I mean they had all they had three years to 503 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 5: get ready for this and it's been an absolute shamozzle. 504 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 5: So if it comes true, some long long faces on 505 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 5: the conservative side of politics here on Saturday. 506 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 4: Night too, right, mys, thanks very much, really appreciate it. 507 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 4: Murray OL's Australia correspondent list. And on that minerals deal 508 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 4: between the US and Ukraine, Basically what they're going to 509 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 4: do is they're going to set up a fund to 510 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 4: attract international investment and fifty percent we punted in by 511 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 4: the US, fifty percent by Ukraine. Ukraine would retain full 512 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 4: control over its mineral resources, its infrastructure and its natural 513 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 4: resources and this fund would only relate to new investments 514 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: not approved yet still has to be approved by Ukraine's parliament. 515 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 4: So a fair way to go on that sixteen away. 516 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: From five politics was centric credit, check your customers and 517 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: get payments. 518 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 4: Curty Thomas Coglan, the Herald's political editors with us Hey Thomas, 519 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 4: they're good. After is to see the Health Minister as 520 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: calling the doctors back to the negotiating table. When is 521 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 4: this going to happen? 522 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 8: Ah? 523 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 14: Look, I mean they didn't even put the most recent 524 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 14: They didn't even put the most recent offer to the members, 525 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 14: So clearly there's a there's not a great relationship here. 526 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 14: This most recent offer didn't sound didn't sound all that bad. 527 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 14: I think a junior doctor, I think would have get Sorry, 528 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 14: a first year specialist would have had a nine point 529 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 14: five percent pay increase on the on the last offer, 530 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 14: which would have increased their pay by about seventeen thousand dollars. 531 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 14: Simon Brown says, So it's not it doesn't sound ungenerous. 532 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 14: I think perhaps one of the main sticking points is 533 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 14: the working conditions and staffing levels in the hospitals. I 534 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 14: think you've heard a lot of commentary from the the 535 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 14: union about about that, but certainly, I mean you wouldn't 536 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 14: if you were the union want to try your luck 537 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 14: too much with this. I think four thousand I think 538 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 14: the Health New Zealand says four thousand, three hundred procedures 539 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 14: were delayed today, So there's only so many times you 540 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 14: can you can pull that trick before you before you 541 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 14: wear the public's patients. I'm thinking, of course about the 542 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 14: teachers a couple of years ago. I think they tried 543 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 14: the public a bit too much there. So yeah, they 544 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 14: seem to be pretty in a pretty intractable state at 545 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 14: the moment. But you would think that this can't go 546 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 14: on forever. 547 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 4: No, how far short is this payoffer from what the 548 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 4: of what the doctors want. 549 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 14: Look if they haven't, if they haven't even put the 550 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 14: most recent one to their members, I would say it 551 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 14: is a fair way off what they want. I don't 552 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 14: know what how much money there is left in the 553 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 14: and the kitty. Of course, Health New Zealand has been 554 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 14: cutting well. I've been trying to get spending down after that, 555 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 14: finding that one half billion dollar deaficit last year. But again, 556 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 14: if if the members weren't even asked to vote in it, 557 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 14: you'd have to say this is there's probably a fair 558 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 14: bit of a fear bit of room between the two camps. 559 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 4: Now, explain something to me. Okay, So David Seymour wants 560 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 4: to cut a whole bunch of ministerial roles but does 561 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 4: he actually want to cut ministries as well? 562 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 14: Yeah, he he, he wants to do the background of 563 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 14: this is he made a speech speech today about about this. 564 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 14: He cited, putting back to New Zealand Initiative paper. I 565 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 14: think this absolute proliferation and ministries and departments. And we've 566 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 14: seen it. I mean recently, you've got what the Climate 567 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 14: Change Commission got created in the last government to out 568 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 14: of fifty Ministry of Pacific People's like aha, the Ministry 569 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 14: for Disabled people. They've only just arrived recently. He pointed 570 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 14: as well to the fact that under the first m 571 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 14: MP governments you have these ministers outside of cabinet, you 572 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 14: have a proliferation of ministries, proliferation of ministers. He thinks 573 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 14: you could actually reduce the size of these down to 574 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 14: maybe twenty twenty key ministers and also abolish abolished portfolios 575 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 14: that don't have a direct ministry attached to them. I mean, 576 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 14: and again you've seen this recently. I mean James Meagan, 577 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 14: the Minister for the South Island. 578 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, the last nonsense, isn't it. 579 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 14: Well, the last time I checked that, I read his 580 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 14: briefing to the incoming minister. As you know, you know 581 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 14: every new minister gets their briefing to the incoming minister. 582 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 14: His one said, I'm sorry, minister, there are no staff 583 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 14: and this portfolio, which begs the question who wrote it? 584 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 4: Very good question. Okay, here's this. I mean, look, I 585 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 4: love it. I love what David Seymore was talking about. 586 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 4: It incidentally just happened to Seren be talking serendipitously be 587 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 4: talking about this yesterday ourselves. What are the answers that 588 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 4: he actually gets to do this, I mean, give me 589 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 4: the reality check here. 590 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 14: Oh the reality check is not good. I would think 591 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 14: I would It's a classic m MP. I think he 592 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 14: has a good chance of getting part of the way. 593 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 14: I think there is a good there are always good 594 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 14: opportunities for mergers and rationalizations. I think clearly the government 595 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 14: wants to reduce the public service. He's counteribate, so we 596 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 14: get part of the way. Whether he'll I mean, whether 597 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 14: he'll get that's that's not happening the whole. 598 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 4: Can I take heart from the fact that he's he's 599 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 4: talking about this in the same month as the budget. 600 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 14: Well he he he actually told the hero that this 601 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 14: is not a budget thing like this is this is 602 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 14: a you know, so it is you know the question 603 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 14: to say to me too brutally, yes, I'm sorry. 604 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 4: Tory is not going to be Andrew Little's deputy, is she? 605 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 5: No? 606 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 14: This is I mean? Andrew Little did this very He 607 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 14: was both very explicit but very tactful that he represents change. 608 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 14: Tory Fano is obviously not changed. She is the current mayor. 609 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 14: He becomes Meyor, which seems pretty likely he'd be the favorite. 610 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 14: Tory will not be, will not be his deputy mayor. 611 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 14: Biggs question who will be. He will probably want to 612 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 14: build a good relationship around the council table, but not 613 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 14: want to perhaps reflect repeat the mistakes of Paul Eagle, 614 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 14: who probably built a coalition that was slightly too broad. 615 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 14: I think he probably reached across the aisle too much 616 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 14: to the right during the election campaign, which put off 617 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 14: some of his supporters on the left, which probably propelled 618 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,479 Speaker 14: Tory Farner to win the election that time round. So 619 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 14: he's got a difficult decision there. But certainly, you know Wellington, 620 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 14: there is there is a mood for change, very clearly 621 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 14: in Wellington, and certainly you know campaigning and acknowledging that 622 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 14: you want the incomeveent Mere to be your deputy is 623 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 14: probably not the best way to reflect that. 624 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 4: It's very few point Thomas, Thanks very much, Thomas Codlin, 625 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: the Herald's political editor. Yeah, very smart move from Andrew Little, 626 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 4: because if you were listening to the show yesterday, so 627 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 4: it started with Tory floating the idea that she would 628 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 4: like to be his deputy and that he might like 629 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 4: to consider her and role. And then if you were 630 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 4: listening to the show yesterday you will have seen it 631 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 4: had kind of built up its own momentum and people 632 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 4: from the right were now saying that a deal had 633 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 4: been struck. So Andrew Little has clearly moved today to 634 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 4: just shut that down and he said she's not going 635 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 4: to be the deputy. And it's a smart move because 636 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 4: that's how people feel about Tori as the deputy. I 637 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 4: would say eight away from five putting. 638 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: The tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking breakfast. 639 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 4: Back to this business of our economic aims and Chief 640 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 4: Economy Saron Zulma is back with all these companies that 641 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 4: are abandoning guidance now because they have no idea what's 642 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,239 Speaker 4: going on? 643 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 10: Does that make life more difficult for us all? 644 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: Well? 645 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 6: So it does make it more difficult for them in John's. 646 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 15: Case, I mean the actual direct tariffs on our ten 647 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 15: percent on twelve percent of very exports. Really are very 648 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 15: good experts, So it's not a game change of the economy. 649 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 15: But for some individual companies of course. 650 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 16: It's a very big deal. 651 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 15: But the main channel through it Chin down could be 652 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 15: effected the flower growth, including in China because support partners 653 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 15: and taxing our commodity crisis and exports more generally, but 654 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 15: also that confidence channel. 655 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 5: Back tomorrow at six am the mic Hosk Breakfast with 656 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 5: Maylee's Real Estate News Talk zed. 657 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 4: Be we're going to speak to Sarah Dalton. By the way, 658 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 4: this is read the doctor strike. We're going to speak 659 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 4: to Sarah Dalton, who is leading the union, who will 660 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 4: be with us straight after five o'clock, so we'll try 661 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 4: and get a bit of detail from who are on 662 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 4: how far short this offer is from what they actually want. 663 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 4: The Greens want to announce or rather have announced a 664 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 4: policy today to create new jobs. It's basically a make 665 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 4: work scheme they want to set up. They basically want 666 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 4: to have a Ministry of Works again but Ministry of 667 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 4: green works, just to make it better, and then they 668 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 4: want to expand the jobs for Nature program and they 669 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 4: reckon that they can create more than forty thousand jobs. 670 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 4: Trouble is it's going to cost eight billion dollars and 671 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 4: they haven't said how they're going to fund it, and 672 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 4: we don't have any money, right, we really don't need 673 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 4: to lay at this point. We ain't got no money. 674 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 4: So where they're going to get eight billion dollars a 675 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 4: year from I don't know. But Chloe's going to be 676 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 4: with us after five thirty. But I tell you what 677 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 4: I want to talk to Chloev. I'm going to ask 678 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 4: her about this interesting thing that's just popped through in 679 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 4: the UK news. The German agriculture minister has said I 680 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 4: will get German children eating meat again. And the reason 681 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 4: he's saying this is because his predecessor had gone for 682 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 4: the vegetarian eating and had planned and meat tax. And 683 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 4: this is all this like anti meat stuff is driven 684 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 4: in a large part by climate change policies, right because 685 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 4: you know, cows fart and it makes the climate get warm, 686 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 4: and so if we don't eat as many cows, then 687 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 4: we're not the You know, you can kind of follow 688 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 4: the logic and you can see how you end up 689 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 4: with a vegetarian option. Anyway, what I've seen increasingly and 690 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 4: predominantly coming out of the European region is a real 691 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 4: backlash against climate policies. Right, You've had, you got this, 692 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 4: You've got what's going on with the power outage in 693 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 4: Spain and Portugal being blamed on renewable energy. You've got 694 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 4: Tony Blair coming out in net zero, or Kemi Bada 695 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 4: not coming out against net zero. Like, there's this like 696 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 4: real movement against climate stuff. And I am just starting 697 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 4: to feel like I can now confidently predict to you 698 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 4: that the Paris Agreement is not going to hold all 699 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 4: the way to twenty fifty. But anyway, Chloe's with us 700 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 4: after HYPASPI, I'll ask her about that. We're also going 701 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 4: to talk about vapor. Yeah, not a surprise to anyone, 702 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 4: but it's actually going to hurt your lungs really badly. 703 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 4: This is David Dallas running New Zealand. 704 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 2: Music, digging through the spin to find the real story story. 705 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: It's handed dup with the on drive with one New Zealand. 706 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 2: Let's get connected news dogs, they'd be afternoon. 707 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 4: The latest on the doctor strike is that the healthman, 708 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 4: Ister Simeon Brown, has called the doctors back to the 709 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 4: negotiating table this afternoon. 710 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 17: Health New Zealand is committed to reaching a settlement with 711 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 17: ASMS and is applied to the Employment Relations Authority for 712 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 17: facilitation as the next step to resolve this. I urged 713 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 17: the ASEMS union to return to the negotiation table so 714 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 17: a deal can be struck and patients can get the 715 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 17: care that they need. 716 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 4: Sarah Dalton is with the union representing the doctors. Hi, Sarah, Hi, Heather, 717 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 4: how are you doing very well? Thank you? Winning you 718 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 4: back at the negotiating table. Then there's a. 719 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 18: Case conference tomorrow to talk about facilitation and whether that's 720 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 18: the next best process for bargaining. 721 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 4: Was this something that was already planned or is this 722 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 4: something that Simon Brown has just initiated. 723 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 18: No, no, we knew about it earlier this week to 724 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 18: FUTTORDA told us they were going to apply for facilitation. 725 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 18: This is not news. It's we ended up in facilitation 726 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 18: the last two bargaining rounds. I think what would be 727 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 18: really helpful would be for the Minister to think about 728 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 18: what funds they make available to futt order to help 729 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 18: them sort this out. 730 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 4: As in, how much more to offer you guys? 731 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 18: Yeah, Well, He's been pretty clear that they have to 732 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 18: meet whatever the settlement is out of their baseline funding 733 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 18: which keeps being stripped back. So I mean, if he 734 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 18: wants to play a productive role in discussions, I think 735 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 18: this government needs to look at the way they're funding 736 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 18: health and particularly health workforce. 737 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 4: What is the difference, Sarah, between what you've been offered 738 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 4: and what you guys want. 739 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 18: Well, what's been offered for most of our members works 740 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 18: out at less than one percent a year over a 741 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 18: three year term. For about five hundred of our members 742 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 18: who had been in the first three years of working 743 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 18: as specialist, there's a little bit more there, but as 744 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 18: far as we can ascertain, what's been offered still fits 745 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 18: within the initial envelope that fat Order have brought to 746 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 18: the table, which is no more than a one and 747 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 18: a half percent increase on their current spend on senior 748 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 18: doctor salaries. 749 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 4: And the increase that you want is what we've put in. 750 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 18: A claim for twelve percent. Now, obviously we're in bargaining, 751 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 18: but we are very far apart at the moment. As 752 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 18: you probably know, we've got issues with relativities with junior 753 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 18: doctors and I'm being bombarded with emails from our members 754 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 18: showing me examples of job offers outside of New Zealand 755 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 18: where they're being offered. You know, wild sums of money 756 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 18: are they? 757 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 4: Are they interested in taking it? 758 00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 15: Oh? 759 00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 3: Look, some people. 760 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: Already have right. 761 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 18: I think the people that were out there on the 762 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 18: picket lines today and participating in strike action are here 763 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 18: because they're committed to staying in New Zealand. What they 764 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 18: really want is enough colleagues to make their work tenable, 765 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 18: sustainable and safe. 766 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 4: Now, Samian Brown has regularly criticized the fact that you 767 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,759 Speaker 4: haven't even put this offer to your MEMB members. Why 768 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 4: haven't you done that? 769 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 18: There's a couple of reasons for that. The first is, 770 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 18: in our constitution, our executive actually has decision making power 771 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 18: about settlements. We generally pull our members when we think 772 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 18: we've got a serious offer and when we think we're 773 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 18: at a point of conclusion. But the second thing is 774 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 18: there was no more being offered than before. We've been 775 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 18: closely in contact with our members through the whole process 776 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 18: about what their expectations are, and I'd have to say 777 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 18: the twelve percent claim that we put is already a 778 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 18: compromise in the eyes of some of our members because 779 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 18: they know very well what they can earn in private 780 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 18: and what's on offer over the Tasman. 781 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 4: Sarah, thanks very much. Sarah Dalton with the Association of 782 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 4: Salaried Medical Specialists. 783 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: Do for ce Ellen. 784 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 4: ACT Party leader David Seymour has announced he wants to 785 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 4: slash the number of ministers and ministries. He's pointed out 786 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 4: that we have more ministers than Ireland, which is a 787 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 4: country about the similar population, and even more than the UK, 788 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 4: which is a country with a much larger population. And 789 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 4: he's with us right now. 790 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 13: David, Hello, good ahead. 791 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 4: Were you listening to the show yesterday? 792 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 13: Well, I was going to ask if you were reading 793 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 13: the ACT Party's excellent publication Free Press about eight weeks ago, 794 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 13: because I saw a similar idea there too, and that's 795 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 13: what I thought when I was listening to your show yesterday, 796 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 13: as I am from four to seven. 797 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 4: Every day, Oh, I'll listen to you. Well, now I 798 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 4: have to say yes, I read it absolutely every week. 799 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 4: Wouldn't go a week without missing it. Now, David, tell 800 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 4: me how this is going to work. Forty one government department. 801 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 4: You want to get it down to thirty. So what 802 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 4: do you cut? 803 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 13: Well, people are going to go straight to that, and 804 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 13: I'm not going to. I've got a list and it 805 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 13: only has thirty on it, and that's what you need 806 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 13: to do, the things that most people would expect a 807 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 13: government to do. But I know as soon as I 808 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 13: start naming them, people will say I'm trying to attack 809 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 13: the here apart and it's all politically. I think we 810 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 13: just need to hit this idea right because right now 811 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 13: there are ministers that have seven different departments. There are 812 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 13: departments such as MB that answer to nineteen different ministers. 813 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 13: There are portfolios. Just give you one example, not to 814 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 13: pick on it, but the minister for Auckland that Labor 815 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 13: created that there's no Auckland department, there's no Auckland vote 816 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 13: in the budget. It's just a made up thing, frankly, 817 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 13: and I think that really we should be moving to 818 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 13: a world where each department has only one minister, No 819 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 13: portfolios exist unless they have an actual department with a 820 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 13: budget and a thing to do, and there should be 821 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 13: no ministers outside of the cabinet. Everyone should be sitting 822 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 13: around at the same table. That's going to take a 823 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,839 Speaker 13: lot of people making a concession, but if we could 824 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 13: get there, I think the whole thing would just get 825 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 13: stuff done faster, and a lot of people that say, look, 826 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 13: you know, why doesn't stuff have quicker It might be 827 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 13: a little happier. 828 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 4: Right, Well, I mean I obviously love this, but how 829 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 4: realistic is it? 830 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 13: Well, I don't believe it will happen before the election. 831 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 13: You know, Chris is the Prime Minister and he's set 832 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 13: the table and we agreed to that, so we're part 833 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 13: of him about it isn't passing, sure, but I go 834 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 13: into all our conversations. But I mean I think. 835 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 4: You've got from him, David. Has he thought it was 836 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 4: a brilliant idea or was he poo pooed it? 837 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 13: Well, Chris cotters teeth as a manager, and I'm sure 838 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:38,760 Speaker 13: that it's something that without speaking for intuitive we get. However, 839 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 13: I don't believe it will change before the election. I'd 840 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 13: love it too, I don't think it will. This is 841 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 13: the kind of thing where at a halftime point between 842 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 13: two elections we need to have a bit of a 843 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 13: team talk, say what's so on well and ask what 844 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 13: will we do differently in the future. 845 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 4: Brilliant love it, David, Thanks very much, David Seymour Ax 846 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 4: Parley leader Heather do so sorry to anybody outside of 847 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 4: Auckland having to live through this. But I think this 848 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 4: is quite This is this, I think is an example 849 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 4: of what happens in council. 850 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: Right. 851 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,319 Speaker 4: So we are waiting on Auckland Council to come through 852 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 4: with the stadium with a decision on what's going to 853 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 4: happen with Western Springs read the building of another stadium, okay, 854 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 4: and what they're discussing today Apparently I here or I 855 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 4: was naively thinking they were going to make a decision, 856 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 4: like they've got a couple offers. They've got the pontsib 857 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 4: Be rugby club who want to do blah blah blah 858 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 4: and they need some righte pays money and then they've 859 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 4: got they've got Ali Williams and his mates from Auckland 860 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 4: FC who are prepared to build the stadium for free. 861 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 8: Right. 862 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 4: So, as far as I thought they're going to make 863 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 4: a decision foodleish me. No, they are discussing how to 864 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 4: progress the stadium decision. So that's the first thing that 865 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 4: happens at council. But so even then it's not a 866 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 4: real decision, but we're not. It doesn't even look like 867 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,280 Speaker 4: we can get that today because now there is tension 868 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 4: around the council table apparently because one of the councilors 869 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 4: and don't don't tell me who it is, because I 870 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 4: don't need to get dark on whoever it is, but anyway, 871 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,760 Speaker 4: dark on all of them. Anyway, one of them wants 872 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 4: to revive the speedway so that they can put that 873 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 4: one up for discussion as well. They want us to 874 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 4: discuss what we're going to do with the speedway. Now 875 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 4: speedway has been taken away from that. Now I would 876 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 4: have thought, like, come on, is this not a slam dunk. 877 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 4: It's a slam dunk because you don't even need to 878 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 4: have these people are justifying their jobs. You don't need 879 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 4: to have a meeting about this. Auckland FC with Bill Foley, 880 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 4: who's loaded, he's got more cash and he knows what 881 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 4: to do with and Ali, who's lady Anna from Zuru 882 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 4: has got tons of money as well. They are saying 883 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 4: that they will build you a stadium Auckland for free. 884 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 4: What's there to discuss? Take the money, get the free 885 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 4: stadium quarter part Hey.

So this is 907 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 4: a study by John Hopkins Johns Hopkins University. It looked 908 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 4: at health data from about a quarter of a million 909 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 4: people found a significant link between vaping and COPD, which 910 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 4: is the fourth leading cause of death in New Zealand. 911 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 4: Doctor Stuart Jones is a respiratory physician and is with 912 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,280 Speaker 4: us now has Stewart. 913 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 19: Cyota, Heather, how are you. 914 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 4: I'm very well, thank you. It seems to me are 915 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 4: we surprised that if you're inhaling this weird stuff into 916 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 4: your lungs that you're probably going to get COPD? 917 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 8: The answer is no, no. 918 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 19: If the respiratory community aren't surprised at all that this 919 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 19: result has come out, I guess it's what we've been 920 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 19: warning about all along with the vaping that's been going on, 921 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 19: is that it does I mean, we've known for a 922 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 19: while it's causes damage, it causes inflammation to the airways 923 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 19: and things like that, but now we have a little 924 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 19: bit more concrete evidence that it's doing more permanent damage 925 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 19: to those airways. 926 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 4: Now can we say, based on this, whether we think 927 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 4: vaping is necessarily better than ciggy's. 928 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, hither. 929 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 19: It is important to note that that in the study, 930 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 19: it also the study demonstrated a higher incidence of incidents 931 00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 19: the APD and people who were smoking combustible cigarettes. So 932 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 19: the rates of CPD that occurred with vaping alone weren't 933 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 19: as high as combustible cigarettes, but still significant. And the 934 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 19: other key point for this study is that the worst 935 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 19: people off were the people who combined cigarettes and vaping. 936 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 19: And that's what I'm worried that many people are still doing. 937 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 4: So wait are you saying, because there were a lot 938 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 4: of people who will be smoking the cigis maybe when 939 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 4: they're on the beers, and then the rest of the 940 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 4: time they'll just be doing the vaping to try to 941 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,839 Speaker 4: cut down the bad stuff. But would they actually be 942 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,479 Speaker 4: better off just packing one of the two and going 943 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 4: for it rather than doing the combo? 944 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 19: Yeah? Correct, correct, Because I mean, we know that it 945 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 19: damages the airways in different ways, so the mechanism of 946 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 19: damage to the airways is different between vaping and cigarette smoking. 947 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 19: And effectively, what you're doing with the dull use is 948 00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:02,279 Speaker 19: you're doubling up, so that's definitely a no goo So 949 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 19: you know, yeah, so vaping definitely does cause damage to 950 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,800 Speaker 19: their ways. The only people who might get a benefit 951 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 19: is those people who can't stop smoking the cigarettes, but 952 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 19: they would only get the benefit if they make a 953 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 19: complete switch. 954 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 4: Okay, hey Stuart, thank you. I mean there are some 955 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 4: at least some useful information there for people if you 956 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 4: choose which way you're going to die, but don't go 957 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,640 Speaker 4: for both ways, because that's not a good idea of 958 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 4: five twenty two. By the way, it's Dr Stuart Jones, 959 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,800 Speaker 4: respiratory physician. 960 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: Checking the point of the story. 961 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 2: It's Heather Duplicy Ellen drive with one New Zealand let's 962 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 2: get connected and youth dogs. 963 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: They'd be Heather. 964 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 5: I love it. 965 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 4: David Symore's bang on the case. Thank you for that. 966 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 4: I agree five twenty five. Now listen, I tell you 967 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 4: what's going to be very interesting to watch, and that 968 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 4: is who is going to be more successful with Donald Trump. 969 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 4: Is it going to be the new Prime Minister of Canada, 970 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,239 Speaker 4: Mark Carney, who's basically just won the election there this 971 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 4: week by standing up to Trump? Or is it going 972 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,919 Speaker 4: to be Keir Starmer, who's the Prime Minister of the UK, 973 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 4: who was such a suck up to Trump. It is 974 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 4: embarrassing not only did he invite Trump for a second 975 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 4: state visit and also hand deliver a love letter from 976 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 4: King Charles, but now it turns out he's personally working 977 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,760 Speaker 4: to secure a golf tournament for one of Trump's golf 978 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 4: courses in the UK. Now, watching this right, watching the 979 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,359 Speaker 4: way that these two behave and what happens from here, 980 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 4: is not just an academic exercise. It's actually going to 981 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 4: be probably a good idea for watch for us to 982 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 4: watch in order to figure out how we should be 983 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 4: dealing with Donald Trump, because clearly there is divided opinion 984 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 4: within even our government as to what to do here. 985 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 4: Chris Luxan obviously wants to take a stronger stance, hence 986 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 4: the old phone call the other day to various world 987 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 4: leaders trying to start some sort of a thing, and 988 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 4: when Ston Peters clearly wants to lay low, hence him 989 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 4: telling luxonof in public. And there is mountain, i would say, 990 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 4: mounting international pressure to stand up to Trump. Malcolm Turnbult, 991 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,280 Speaker 4: former Prome Minister of Australia, has piped up in recent 992 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 4: days saying New Zealand needs to be tougher and not 993 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 4: appeas Trump. And China just popped up the other day, 994 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 4: if not yesterday, urging other nations to stand up to 995 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 4: Trump bullying. Now, for the record, I actually think Winston's 996 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 4: right here. You can only stand up to a bully 997 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 4: if you are roughly of the same size, and we 998 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,280 Speaker 4: are very much not of the same size as the US, 999 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 4: and you can suck up like Keir Starmer. But I 1000 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 4: suspect bullies don't respect that, and I think it's working 1001 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 4: out that way because the free trade deal with the 1002 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 4: UK is not going to happen fast, is it. So 1003 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 4: that leaves you with the third option, don't draw attention, 1004 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 4: wait for the dust to settle, and then pop up 1005 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 4: and say the right thing when the time is right. 1006 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 4: And that is the option that Winston has picked, and 1007 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if it actually works out to 1008 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 4: be the smartest move. 1009 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 1: Of Allgever do for clams. 1010 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 4: Are with us next co leader to Chloe Sawbrick Listen. 1011 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,279 Speaker 4: I don't know if you realize this, but Stats New 1012 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,320 Speaker 4: Zealand do this thing where they work out the inflation 1013 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 4: number by looking at a set number of things that 1014 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 4: you would get at the supermarket or whatever, like the 1015 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 4: set number of things that you spend your money on. 1016 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 4: They call it the CPI basket, and it's the same 1017 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,799 Speaker 4: all the time, but then from time to time, you know, 1018 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,319 Speaker 4: obviously we're not buying certain things anymore, we're buying different things, 1019 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 4: and so they update and they have just updated it, 1020 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,760 Speaker 4: and it's fascinating. It's a fascinating insight into changing trends. 1021 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 4: So what they've put into their CPI basket is spinach, 1022 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,560 Speaker 4: but what they've taken out is salary. So apparently we're 1023 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 4: not that into the salary, but we're getting into the spinach, 1024 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,720 Speaker 4: which I would actually say is a good health decision 1025 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 4: by us, because I feel like the spinach is better 1026 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,959 Speaker 4: for you. Soy milk is out, but plant based milk, 1027 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 4: like what oat almond, that's all in now. So we're 1028 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 4: finished with the soy, but we're into all the other 1029 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 4: little weird things. Meal kits are in like Hello Fresh 1030 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,800 Speaker 4: and the other one my food bag and stuff like 1031 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,319 Speaker 4: that that's in. Increasingly. We're han't got enough time, so 1032 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 4: we're spending our money on this. What's in is going 1033 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 4: to a bar and buying a cocktail. What's out is 1034 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,399 Speaker 4: going to a bar and buying an RTD can. Now, 1035 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,440 Speaker 4: I'm told by Bonnie who's like just of drinking age. 1036 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 4: That that's because they're now roughly of the same size. 1037 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 4: So if you can spend the money, you may as 1038 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,440 Speaker 4: well get yourself a good one. What's out is men's jerseys, 1039 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 4: but not women's do jerseys, all children's jerseys, just men's jerseys, 1040 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,040 Speaker 4: and that is not the I'm going to run you 1041 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 4: through more of this list because it's weird headlines. Next 1042 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 4: to me. 1043 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 2: After making the news, the newsmakers talk to Heather first. 1044 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,320 Speaker 2: It's Heather duplessy Ellen drive with one New Zealand. Let's 1045 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 2: get connected and youth talks. 1046 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: They'd be. 1047 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 4: She has so again she hard home again. This is 1048 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 4: for New Zealand Music Month. Here are a couple more 1049 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,799 Speaker 4: things that have come out of the CPI basket. So 1050 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 4: into the CPI basket are women's yoga pants and active wear. 1051 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 4: Out of the CPI basket are women's tracksuit trousers, not men's. 1052 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 4: The menister wearing the tracky decks. The women have just 1053 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 4: got rid of them. In is headwear. 1054 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 1: Now. 1055 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 4: That stands to reason because if you look around at 1056 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 4: the young people nowadays are all wearing hats, aren't Their 1057 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 4: hats are back in fashion? Out are men's ties. No 1058 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 4: one buys ties anymore. Out is alarm monitoring services. Now 1059 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 4: my first reaction to that was that would be because 1060 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 4: alarm monitoring services are expensive. But then in a cruisers 1061 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,000 Speaker 4: and they are also expensive, So who can make sense 1062 00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 4: of it? Twenty three away from. 1063 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 1: Six together Duplessyl. 1064 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 4: Standing by now the Green Party has unveiled a policy 1065 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 4: to create jobs. It wants to set up a Ministry 1066 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,760 Speaker 4: of Green Works and expand the Jobs for Nature program. 1067 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 4: It would apparently create more than forty thousand jobs and 1068 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 4: it would cost more than eight billion dollars. Chloe Swarbrick 1069 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 4: is the Green Party co leader. Hey Chloe CHERLDO, how 1070 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 4: are you? And well, thank you? So what are we 1071 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,360 Speaker 4: going to pay these people to do? 1072 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 16: So we're going to pay these people to rebuild our infrastructure, 1073 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 16: to restore biodiversity, to build our homes and ultimately an 1074 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 16: economy that we as New Zealanders own and are proud of. 1075 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 4: And where are we going to get the eight billion dollars? 1076 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,799 Speaker 16: Well, the really exciting thing is that in about a 1077 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 16: fortnight's time we'll be unveiling our Green Budget, which will 1078 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 16: show people precisely how we can have an economy that 1079 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,880 Speaker 16: reduces the cost of living, improves quality of life, and 1080 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 16: also reduces climate changing emission. So there's more detail to 1081 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 16: come in that full budget. 1082 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 4: So will it be I mean, is this something that 1083 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 4: you will create? Will there be a new revenue stream 1084 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 4: or will you be cutting things out of the existing 1085 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,440 Speaker 4: budget in order to make up this eight billion dollars. 1086 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 16: I don't want to sound like a regular politician to 1087 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 16: use you. We have to wait and see, but I 1088 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 16: think people can get a pretty clear indication of where 1089 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 16: the Green Party's values lie when it comes to our 1090 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 16: taxation system. We had a report from Inland Revenue Department 1091 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 16: about two or three years ago now which told us 1092 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 16: that the wealthare is three hundred and eleven households in 1093 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,279 Speaker 16: this country paying effective tax rate less than half of 1094 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 16: that of the average New Zealander. We've always said that 1095 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 16: we think that that's fundamentally unfair. And you'll see precisely 1096 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,319 Speaker 16: how we'll raise that revenue necessary for this spending to 1097 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 16: create an economy that works for all of us in 1098 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 16: about a fortnight's time. 1099 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 4: Right, So more tax Okay, So why do we need 1100 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 4: to pet paper? Why are we doing these make work schemes? 1101 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 4: Why not just rely on private employment. 1102 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,799 Speaker 16: Well, you can see from the Productivity Commissions reporting a 1103 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 16: few years ago now that we have approximately one hundred 1104 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 16: billion dollar infrastructure deficit over the last thirty years and 1105 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 16: a fourcast one hundred billion dollars for the next thirty years. 1106 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,240 Speaker 16: It's really clear that the private sector is not filling 1107 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 16: that gap. And in fact, when you look at the 1108 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,320 Speaker 16: research on public private partnerships or even actually experience with 1109 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 16: the likes of Transmission Gully of late, you can see 1110 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 16: that that stuff costs New Zealanders more because we're paying 1111 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 16: for the profit margin of private companies. That's precisely why 1112 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 16: we're saying, let's look at the past and see where 1113 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,479 Speaker 16: we've done these things well. And that's why we've taken 1114 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 16: inspiration from the Ministry of Works, which once upon a 1115 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 16: time was charged with building the infrastructure that all of 1116 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 16: us rely on. And we've said, let's learn from that, 1117 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 16: but do it better confronted with the challenges of for example, 1118 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 16: climate change. 1119 00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:37,759 Speaker 4: Listen, I want to get your take on something that 1120 00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 4: I've been watching develop globally, and this is I think 1121 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 4: a lot of pressure. So I'm changing the subject here 1122 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,799 Speaker 4: and I haven't warned you, but I'm getting a lot 1123 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,239 Speaker 4: of I'm getting the impression that there is a lot 1124 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 4: of pressure that's building on net zero by twenty fifty 1125 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,240 Speaker 4: or even cutting down by twenty thirty. And I'm basing 1126 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:55,960 Speaker 4: this on the fact that we've had discussions here in 1127 00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,319 Speaker 4: New Zealand about whether we can meet our obligations. You'll 1128 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 4: have seen Tony Blase come out against net Z zero 1129 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 4: over in the UK. What do you think is going 1130 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 4: to happen? Do you think that this agreement is going 1131 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:04,359 Speaker 4: to hold? 1132 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 16: But I guess just to take a set back. I 1133 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:13,359 Speaker 16: can understand why there is a sensation or a deprioritization 1134 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 16: that people are happy when it comes to climate action 1135 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 16: because the immediate pressure is on cost of living. But 1136 00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 16: I think it's important for us to connet the dots. 1137 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 16: If we continue to allow climate change to exacerbate unmitigated, 1138 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,800 Speaker 16: we are going to end up our higher cost of living. 1139 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:30,919 Speaker 16: Everyone they need to think about all of the things. 1140 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,920 Speaker 4: I understand that whether I understand, But Chloe, what do 1141 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 4: you think is going to happen? Do you think the 1142 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 4: Paris Agreement is going to fall apart? Or do you 1143 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 4: think it will hold to twenty fifty? 1144 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 16: What I'm interested in is what we have control over, 1145 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,919 Speaker 16: in the power to actually do. And that is why 1146 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 16: I think it's really important that New Zealanders here crystal 1147 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 16: clear from a party that has its legacy. You don't 1148 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,320 Speaker 16: sound in the planet that we're committed to this stuff. 1149 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,320 Speaker 1: You don't confident. 1150 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 16: I'm confident that we need to act if we are 1151 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 16: going to meet the scale of the child that are 1152 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 16: in front of us. So it's really a matter of 1153 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 16: where we going when an unstoppable force meets and a 1154 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 16: liverable object here, what do we do? We have to 1155 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 16: as human beings rattle with the reality of the chat 1156 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 16: of the challenge that is confronting us. 1157 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 4: Chloe, listen, thank you, I appreciate your time. That's Chloe 1158 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 4: Swarbrick the Green Party. Colely to listen. I'm fascinated that 1159 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,800 Speaker 4: Chloe couldn't tell me that she thinks the Paris Agreement 1160 00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:25,600 Speaker 4: is going to hold. We're going to talk to Kitty Hannafan, 1161 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 4: who's from Air New Zealand sustainability boss or whatever over there, 1162 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 4: because we're going to talk to her about the fact 1163 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,960 Speaker 4: that they've dropped their climate targets, but they've got Animission's guidance. 1164 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 4: Talk to her after six o'clock. I'm gonna ask you 1165 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,359 Speaker 4: this question as well, because now this is my new thing. 1166 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 4: I want to know if the Paris Agreement's going to 1167 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:40,760 Speaker 4: hold nineteen away from six. 1168 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,879 Speaker 2: The huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty. Find you all, 1169 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:45,800 Speaker 2: one of a kind. 1170 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,879 Speaker 4: Huddle with me this evening. Craig Greenny of the Sea, 1171 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,320 Speaker 4: to you the economists there and Claire Delort journalist. 1172 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 3: Hello you two. 1173 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,800 Speaker 4: Hello, hello, Craig. 1174 00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: So. 1175 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,880 Speaker 4: Idea of the day for me is David Seymour pledging 1176 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 4: to cut ministries and ministers. Do you like it or 1177 00:54:59,480 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 4: hate it? 1178 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 20: I'm a bit indifferent to it towards to be deadly honest. 1179 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 20: Heither it's sort of it doesn't really matter sort of 1180 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 20: how many ministers you have. It's basically what they're doing 1181 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,480 Speaker 20: that should count and what the government's doing over all 1182 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,840 Speaker 20: that kind you can have more ministers or fewer ministers. 1183 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 20: Well again, but you can have more ministries or fewer ministries. 1184 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,800 Speaker 20: It's actually are they doing what New Zealand needs? 1185 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 1: Are they? 1186 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 20: Are they delivering the public services that New Zealand needs. 1187 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,799 Speaker 20: We've had some departments that have been split into others 1188 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 20: we've had in the very recent past, we had the 1189 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 20: creation of MB which brought several ministries together. It's it's 1190 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 20: actually not a question of how many offices or how 1191 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,319 Speaker 20: many ministries there are, it's actually are they are they 1192 00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 20: working well and are they delivering efficiently? And I think 1193 00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 20: right now that's an arguable point. 1194 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 4: What are you saying. Would you argue that they're not 1195 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 4: delivering efficiently? 1196 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,560 Speaker 20: I think there are many ministries that are really suffering 1197 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 20: because they've had they've had essentially back rooms and the 1198 00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 20: the the the engine rooms of those organizations should out 1199 00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 20: of them via cuts, and so they're really struggling to deliver, 1200 00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 20: which we've seen, you know, almost arguly in real time 1201 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 20: with the delivery of the Family Boost program, which couldn't 1202 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 20: be ruled out properly because we had to sort of, 1203 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:14,920 Speaker 20: you know, put it together with string in order to 1204 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,000 Speaker 20: get it out as quickly as the government demanded. 1205 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 4: Claire, what do you think? 1206 00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 3: Well? 1207 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 21: I tend to agree with Craig because I don't think 1208 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,759 Speaker 21: I think you've got to look at the what these 1209 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 21: ministries are achieving. One of the things that you do 1210 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:35,719 Speaker 21: achieve by having portfolios that David Seymour obviously disagrees for 1211 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 21: example racing, which is you know, his political opponent and 1212 00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,719 Speaker 21: coalition partner Winston Peters. Thing is you do sheet home 1213 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 21: some political accountability for results in that area. You may 1214 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 21: not have a big office or a big administration, but 1215 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,279 Speaker 21: there is accountability and it does go back to a 1216 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,759 Speaker 21: very specific minister. I mean you can say that too 1217 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 21: about for example, mental health, which we're going to talk 1218 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 21: about probably Matt Doucy. Not a good outcome, but somebody's 1219 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 21: got to take responsibility. And I do think it's quite 1220 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,919 Speaker 21: interesting also that at the moment you'd have to say 1221 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:15,400 Speaker 21: the ACT Party is disproportionately represented with eight ministers in 1222 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 21: our cabinet. 1223 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,600 Speaker 3: When you look at. 1224 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 21: The percentage of support it's had a lot of it 1225 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 21: is political. It's giving people positions because everyone's jockeying for 1226 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 21: influence within our MMP governments. 1227 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 4: And so clear that you saw the Hunting and Fishing 1228 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:34,840 Speaker 4: Minister held responsible for anything. 1229 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,920 Speaker 3: Look, I did not know we had one. 1230 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,080 Speaker 4: What about the South Island Minister? At what point are 1231 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 4: we going to call for James Meagher's resignation as the 1232 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,920 Speaker 4: South Island Minister? What would he have to do wrong? 1233 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 3: Well? 1234 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 21: I think what he's probably got his hands for right 1235 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,640 Speaker 21: now because with a bit of lucky somehow made it 1236 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 21: to the South Island, which seems under siege. 1237 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 4: Mark Mitchell as the Civil Defense Minister predominantly dealing with us. 1238 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 21: They can work together nicely and they can cooperate. We 1239 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 21: stop all the elements that are needed. 1240 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 4: We does this end? Why don't we have a minister 1241 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 4: for our targo. 1242 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 3: That's part of the South Island? Heather, do you know 1243 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 3: what I mean? 1244 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,080 Speaker 4: Like it's like it could never end, Like we could 1245 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,920 Speaker 4: just make ministers for everything, couldn't we You. 1246 00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 3: Could, And that's what it comes down to. It is 1247 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 3: very political. It is trying to satisfy. 1248 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,880 Speaker 4: I just want both to know you haven't and I 1249 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 4: still think that they need to cut a whole bunch 1250 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 4: of them, but you have. 1251 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 20: I think I think one of the things you do 1252 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 20: when you create ministries or ministers that aren't normal, regular 1253 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 20: every day ones, like arguably the Minister for the South Island, 1254 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,640 Speaker 20: you're helping to demonstrate to the public what are your priorities. 1255 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 20: So we had the creation of a child poverty minister 1256 00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 20: for example. We've had, you know, other ministers who cost 1257 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 20: of politics. 1258 00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 4: At what cost politics? At some point. We have to 1259 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,440 Speaker 4: stop worrying so much about what the governing policy, the 1260 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,640 Speaker 4: politics that the governing parties are playing, and think about 1261 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,840 Speaker 4: what it is literally costing us in tax paid dollars 1262 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,360 Speaker 4: for them to send us signals. You know, I don't 1263 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 4: want to pay for a minister, so they can send 1264 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 4: me their priorities. 1265 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 3: Just do it. 1266 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 4: Is it not only. 1267 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 21: Minister doesn't a minister holding multiple portfolios doesn't have to 1268 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 21: actually cost you that much. And you can see that 1269 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,720 Speaker 21: in other countries where they have just as many people 1270 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,960 Speaker 21: or as few as we have the diminishing number of 1271 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,720 Speaker 21: people we have, and they have maybe twenty ministers and 1272 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,560 Speaker 21: they are managing entire countries with fifteen to twenty ministers. 1273 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 21: You can give them all sorts of titles whatever, but 1274 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 21: the responsibilities are shared out amongst very capable people. 1275 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 4: I see what you mean. Okay, so you have fewer, 1276 00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 4: fewer bodies wearing more hats. Okay, guys will take a 1277 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 4: break and come back, just to take fourteen away from six. 1278 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 2: The huddle with New Zealand southbast International Realty achieve extraordinary 1279 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,600 Speaker 2: results with unparent reach. 1280 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:02,959 Speaker 4: By the way, Claire, what did you make of Chloe 1281 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,800 Speaker 4: Swarbrock's idea for job that make work scheme. 1282 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,280 Speaker 21: Look, the first thing that popped into my head when 1283 01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,240 Speaker 21: I was reading about this and then listening to was 1284 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 21: think big. I mean, it really is a back to 1285 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 21: the past kind of you know, it evokes the whole 1286 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 21: Bilbert era of more you know, picking winners, that sort 1287 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,560 Speaker 21: of thing, which hasn't actually been bad for New Zealand 1288 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 21: in some respects, but in the case of this particular policy, 1289 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 21: it is literally half baked at this point because we 1290 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,440 Speaker 21: don't know how it's going to be funded, and it 1291 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 21: seems to me it will possibly render the Greens are 1292 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 21: unelectable anyway and not be in a position to implement anything. 1293 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 21: I think we really need to push more in the 1294 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:53,919 Speaker 21: direction of a better educated, highly educated if we can workforce, 1295 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 21: and to sort of go more down the Singapore route 1296 01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 21: of trying to really harness the brains of a very 1297 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:04,800 Speaker 21: well motivated population while also making the most of our 1298 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,120 Speaker 21: actual resources by way of food production for the world. 1299 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 4: I feel, Craig like there will not be much of 1300 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,480 Speaker 4: a public appetite for making jobs for people basically subsidizing 1301 01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 4: jobs in the modern era. What do you think. 1302 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 20: I don't think they'll be much appetated for just directly 1303 01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 20: subsidizing employment. But if you're actually building the things that 1304 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 20: New Zealand needs. You know, as Chloe said, the Infrastructure 1305 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 20: Commission pointed out, we have one hundred and six billion 1306 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,439 Speaker 20: dollar infrastructure gap and that's just public sector infrastructure gap 1307 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 20: right now. So those are hospitals, schools, roads, everything else 1308 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 20: that should exist and don't because frankly, we haven't paid 1309 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,919 Speaker 20: for them. And we do need to build that infrastructure, 1310 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 20: and we need to do it better than we do 1311 01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 20: it right now because we're very poor at building and 1312 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 20: if we can find a better means of doing that, 1313 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 20: we absolutely should. 1314 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,760 Speaker 21: Clear well, they don't they don't want foreign investment in 1315 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,560 Speaker 21: any of us. And you know, there was shades of 1316 01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 21: you know, the bricks that was the take back control 1317 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 21: sort of quote in some of the materials that they've released. 1318 01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 21: I mean, I just don't think we cannot just have 1319 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 21: a little money go around in New Zealand. We don't 1320 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,560 Speaker 21: have the money to fund all of these things. We 1321 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,160 Speaker 21: do need to encourage them foreign investment. 1322 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 20: By the way, I think we do need to encourage 1323 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:19,480 Speaker 20: Kufo go. 1324 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 4: No, no, there you go. 1325 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 20: I was say I think we do need to encourage 1326 01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,880 Speaker 20: foreign investment, but many of the things that we should 1327 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 20: have been building over the past thirty forty years would 1328 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 20: have just been normal Crown investment, and so I think 1329 01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,960 Speaker 20: that's that's a case where we do need to catch up. 1330 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,880 Speaker 20: The best example of that is actually the water infrastructure 1331 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,120 Speaker 20: around New Zealand. So we've got lots of free waters 1332 01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 20: infrastructure that needs building. Local authorities are often don't have 1333 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,160 Speaker 20: the capacity of the size to do that. So if 1334 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 20: we have a means of helping to grow that and 1335 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,680 Speaker 20: deliver it and do it more efficiently, that means lower 1336 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,360 Speaker 20: rate bills for everyone, and that's got to be a 1337 01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 20: benefit to you know, to anyone who owns a home. 1338 01:02:58,400 --> 01:02:59,960 Speaker 4: Good on you, guys. This has been lovely to Shad, 1339 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 4: Thank you very much, Craig Rennie, to you economist and 1340 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,520 Speaker 4: clear the Lord journalist ate away from six It's. 1341 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,760 Speaker 2: The Heather dupas Allen Drive Full Show podcast on my 1342 01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 2: Heart Radio powered by News Talks'd be heither. 1343 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 4: I'm with you. The more ministers, ministries and managers leads 1344 01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:19,840 Speaker 4: to more complexity, more duplication, more tax payer waste. You know, Kevin, jeez, 1345 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 4: I just think just take it. Who cares. I mean, 1346 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,960 Speaker 4: who cares if these people have fancy titles. I quite 1347 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,840 Speaker 4: like James Megas. I'd be sad if he lost his 1348 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 4: title as the Minister of the South Island. But I 1349 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 4: don't know. Have we seen him do anything? Oh lord, 1350 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,440 Speaker 4: we need to talk about the Minister of Women at 1351 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,920 Speaker 4: some stage, because that is definitely a position I'd be 1352 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 4: getting rid of. As she popped up today. I haven't 1353 01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 4: gotten anything against her, just her role. We'll talk about 1354 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 4: that later on because I have to tell you what 1355 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,240 Speaker 4: STATS has done. Stats New Zealand has just put out 1356 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 4: an urgent media release to tell us what PSI we 1357 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:54,080 Speaker 4: made a mistake. What STATS did when calculating the latest 1358 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 4: inflation numbers not important, by the way, being sarcastic, obviously 1359 01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 4: very important. What they did when they did the latest 1360 01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,600 Speaker 4: inflation numbers was they forgot to put something in and 1361 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,840 Speaker 4: as a result, the inflation number was wrong. So they 1362 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:12,920 Speaker 4: forgot to put in vehicle relicnsing fee increases. As a result, 1363 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:16,800 Speaker 4: they got the inflation number wrong by zero point one percent, 1364 01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,640 Speaker 4: which means that the annual inflation figures should be two 1365 01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 4: point six not two point five, and the quarterly inflation 1366 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 4: should be one, not zero point nine. Now, if if 1367 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 4: it was just the first time that STATS had done 1368 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,280 Speaker 4: it, it wouldn't be a big deal, would it. But I 1369 01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 4: don't know what the hell is going on at stats. 1370 01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 4: But they're not very good with numbers, which seems like 1371 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 4: a fundamental problem if you're working at stats n Z. 1372 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 4: Because do you remember in December when they overshot how 1373 01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,280 Speaker 4: many people had lost their jobs in Wellington? They were 1374 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 4: like twenty thousand people had lost their jobs. Everybody freaked out. 1375 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:50,920 Speaker 4: It was only two thousand and completely they blew the 1376 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 4: numbers out. Anyway, I don't know what you do about it. 1377 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 4: If you can't do your basic job, we'll just leave that. 1378 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 4: They will just leave that, not talk about it too much. 1379 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:00,960 Speaker 4: Speaking of stats, those see p numbers. Here we go. 1380 01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:04,400 Speaker 4: This is this is in in a pillows. We're buying 1381 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,200 Speaker 4: more pillows, but out a Douvey innas. Apparently we don't 1382 01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:08,840 Speaker 4: buy that many douve Inas. I don't know how you 1383 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 4: account for that. Have we have? We bought the maximum 1384 01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 4: number of douveyennas as a country that we can, and 1385 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,720 Speaker 4: we just don't need to buy anymore because the cupbods 1386 01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 4: are full of Douveeners. Who can explain. In are smart 1387 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:22,200 Speaker 4: watches and wearable devices. That makes sense because everybody's got 1388 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 4: one of those smart watches reading your heart rate while 1389 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 4: you sleep at the moment. But out are electric fan heaters. 1390 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 4: In out also weirdly as chainsaw higher, maybe because we've 1391 01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,920 Speaker 4: all bought the chainsaws in a music lessons out our 1392 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:39,120 Speaker 4: home home telephone line rentals and associated services like voicemail. 1393 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 4: But here's the thing. They've just just started counting streaming 1394 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 4: services for the inflation number amongst the things that you buy. 1395 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,040 Speaker 4: And they have just got rid of the price of 1396 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:54,480 Speaker 4: pre recorded DVDs and Blu ray discs. So up to 1397 01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,840 Speaker 4: now when they got their little inflation number together, they 1398 01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 4: were still looking at how much you were paying for 1399 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,720 Speaker 4: you DVDs. Isn't that funny because when was the last 1400 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,760 Speaker 4: time you bought a DVD? Like, seriously, when was the 1401 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,480 Speaker 4: last time you brought a DVD? Has it only just 1402 01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 4: have stats only just realized we don't buy DVDs anymore? 1403 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,200 Speaker 4: What given what I told you before, wouldn't be surprising, 1404 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,480 Speaker 4: would it? Katy Hanaffin of a New Zealander's next. 1405 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 1: Quads up, What's down? One with a major cause and 1406 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 1: how will it affect the economy? 1407 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:32,680 Speaker 2: The big business questions on the Business Hour with Heather Duplicy, 1408 01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:37,280 Speaker 2: Ellen and Maths, Insurance and investments, Grow your wealth, Protect 1409 01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 2: your future. 1410 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:38,920 Speaker 1: US talks at be. 1411 01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:41,880 Speaker 4: Evening coming up in the next hour, We're going to 1412 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,960 Speaker 4: go to Ukraine. Have a little look at that minerals 1413 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 4: deal that's just been signed with Donald Trump. Also Liam 1414 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,959 Speaker 4: Dan will explain or will preview rather the unemployment data 1415 01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,880 Speaker 4: and Ende Brady's out of the UK for US at 1416 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 4: seven past six. Now in New Zealand has done away 1417 01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:57,400 Speaker 4: with climate targets, but has instead replaced it with its 1418 01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,760 Speaker 4: first emissions guidance. Now the airline wants to reduce net 1419 01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 4: green house gas emissions from jet fuel by twenty to 1420 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,640 Speaker 4: twenty five percent. And you'll remember last year Airline abandoned 1421 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 4: its carbon targets at the time blaming it on a 1422 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:11,320 Speaker 4: shortage of new aircraft availability and also the high price 1423 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 4: of sustainable jet fields. Kitty Hanafan is Air New Zealand's 1424 01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 4: chief sustainability and corporate affairs officer and with us now, 1425 01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,000 Speaker 4: Hey Candy, hello, how are you well? Thank you? What's 1426 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,080 Speaker 4: the difference between targets and guidance? 1427 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 22: So a target is a static goal, and what we're 1428 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,000 Speaker 22: doing is because we couldn't achieve the target we set 1429 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:31,560 Speaker 22: and had to pull out of it last year, we 1430 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 22: wanted to have something back in the market that we 1431 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,800 Speaker 22: could be very transparent and honest about how we were going. 1432 01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 22: So what we're doing is saying what we expect to 1433 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,480 Speaker 22: do by twenty thirty, but we'll update everybody every year 1434 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 22: to sort of give a realistic appraisal of how we're tracking, 1435 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,960 Speaker 22: you know, given what's happening in the world or you 1436 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,440 Speaker 22: know in the markets, or how saf scaling up. So 1437 01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,840 Speaker 22: it's just a different, more transparent approach. 1438 01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 4: Okay, and so how do you expect to do it? 1439 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:57,760 Speaker 4: I mean, how much are you going to have to 1440 01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:00,919 Speaker 4: rely on sustainable fuel, which, as you guys have said, 1441 01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:03,600 Speaker 4: is so expensive a lot. 1442 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:08,600 Speaker 22: It's the main way that airlines will decarbonize, I think, 1443 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,000 Speaker 22: and it's probably quite timely from some of the discussions 1444 01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,840 Speaker 22: that have been heaven that are having been had at 1445 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,840 Speaker 22: the moment around the world. We're going to have a 1446 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,719 Speaker 22: bit you know, we're going to have some residual emissions 1447 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,679 Speaker 22: left and we'll have to use carbon removals as well. 1448 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 22: We know that, but by by far the greatest leaver 1449 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 22: that we have is the use of sustainable aviation fuel. 1450 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 4: Is it going to push up the price of the 1451 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:30,879 Speaker 4: air tickets. 1452 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,599 Speaker 22: It's a really good question. At the moment, it's not 1453 01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,880 Speaker 22: because we're using such a small quantity, but it is 1454 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,519 Speaker 22: expensive and we've got a really significant piece of work 1455 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,760 Speaker 22: underway now to work out how we can bring the 1456 01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 22: cost down. And there's a few ways we can do that. 1457 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,120 Speaker 22: We can sort of enter long term off take agreements 1458 01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 22: which are much more affordable. We can buy it from 1459 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,960 Speaker 22: markets that are subsidized like the US, and we can 1460 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 22: and we can obviously help with supply. So why it's 1461 01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,720 Speaker 22: so expensive at the moment is because there's hardly any 1462 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 22: of a level. So the more demand there is, the 1463 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 22: more supply they will be available and that will help 1464 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:05,200 Speaker 22: get the price down. 1465 01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 4: So how much do you think, like, what does it 1466 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,120 Speaker 4: add to the price of a ticket at the moment? 1467 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:10,479 Speaker 3: Nothing? 1468 01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 4: And in the long term once you're actually buying it, 1469 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:14,280 Speaker 4: and really fine. 1470 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,080 Speaker 22: We don't know, like, you know, rough of the you know, 1471 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,280 Speaker 22: we see the back of the envelope, you know, maybe 1472 01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,720 Speaker 22: a few dollars for you know, for a ticket domestically, 1473 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 22: but that's not how we do, it would probably look 1474 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:28,560 Speaker 22: to sort of to make it fair. So obviously international 1475 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 22: travels much more emission heavy than domestic travel. We want 1476 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 22: to look after the price of traveling in New Zealand. 1477 01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:36,640 Speaker 22: We're going to try and sell a lot of the 1478 01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 22: scope three parts of the SAF to third parties to 1479 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,960 Speaker 22: businesses who want to reduce their own emissions. So big 1480 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,879 Speaker 22: organizations like Microsoft and Apple are buying parts of airlines 1481 01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 22: SAF to reduce their own emissions. So that's what we 1482 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 22: want to do to see if we can commercialize it 1483 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,639 Speaker 22: to take the burden off our own flyers. 1484 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 4: Now I want your take on something. I have been 1485 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 4: watching what's going on with the Paris Agreement right and 1486 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 4: I just like it to Chloe Swarwick about it about 1487 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 4: just over half an hour ago, and she could tell 1488 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 4: me that she believed the Paris Agreement will hold. Do 1489 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,200 Speaker 4: you think it will hold? 1490 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 22: Oh gosh, that's such a good question. Look, it's not 1491 01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:17,680 Speaker 22: a question I can't really answer. It's an agreement that 1492 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 22: government's entered and I guess centered on the back of 1493 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 22: what they thought was, you know, excellent advice from hundreds 1494 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,639 Speaker 22: of scientists. You know, I guess it's the world's Global 1495 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 22: Climate Framework and that's really important. 1496 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:32,280 Speaker 4: There was near. 1497 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,600 Speaker 22: Agreement to join it from governments and there's actually some 1498 01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,560 Speaker 22: really good progress being made with technology. And ironically, I 1499 01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 22: guess you're referring to what Tony Bleasbean saying the UK 1500 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 22: have been doing probably one of the best out of 1501 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,519 Speaker 22: all the countries in the world. I think it's really 1502 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,600 Speaker 22: important that governments and businesses like ours commit to decarbonizing. 1503 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,160 Speaker 22: And our own twenty to fifty goal was not part 1504 01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,639 Speaker 22: of the Paris Agreement, obviously because we're not a government, 1505 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 22: but we do have our own twenty fifth and net 1506 01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:05,160 Speaker 22: zero emissions go and we know we're very determined and 1507 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 22: committed to getting there. 1508 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 4: So tell me what I mean, because you must have 1509 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:09,679 Speaker 4: thought about this, or because I know you care about 1510 01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 4: this deep a lot. What happens, Kitty, What happens the 1511 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 4: US pulls out right, they've already done it, And then 1512 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 4: what happens if the UK abandons it, and bit by bit, 1513 01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,720 Speaker 4: all these larger countries start to fall out of the 1514 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 4: Paris Agreement or realize it's completely it's overly ambitious, they 1515 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,760 Speaker 4: can't meet the targets. Smaller countries like ours realize we 1516 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,679 Speaker 4: are also then going to be left doing way more 1517 01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:32,880 Speaker 4: than our fair share, so we abandon it. Where does 1518 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:34,880 Speaker 4: it leave Are you still there? 1519 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm here? 1520 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:37,280 Speaker 5: Oh sorry? 1521 01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 4: Which had a little beet there And I thought she's 1522 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 4: bailed out before answering this hard question. But where does 1523 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:41,560 Speaker 4: it go? 1524 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:42,439 Speaker 2: Off it too hard? 1525 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 4: Where does it leave an airline? 1526 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 1: Right? 1527 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,760 Speaker 4: If all these countries have bailed out, where doesn't it 1528 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,759 Speaker 4: leave an airline sitting there pushing up its own prices, 1529 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 4: trying to do the right thing, but abandoned by all 1530 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:52,759 Speaker 4: the countries. 1531 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,160 Speaker 22: It's a really good question. And I guess you know, 1532 01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:58,280 Speaker 22: the most positive thing I can say is that in 1533 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:00,439 Speaker 22: New Zealand is not alone in our ambitis like, we 1534 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:03,440 Speaker 22: are part of every global airline wanting. 1535 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 3: To do this work. 1536 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,439 Speaker 22: So this is a global action from aviation. It's not 1537 01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,679 Speaker 22: just a New Zealand out on a limb, but generally, 1538 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 22: like pulling away from climate action a country by country 1539 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 22: would be a death by a thousand cuts and I 1540 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 22: and that would be regrettable for everybody, not just aviation, 1541 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 22: but for all industry. And I guess it will come 1542 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 22: down to decisions between the cost of action versus the 1543 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 22: cost of inaction, Because what I can tell you is 1544 01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:34,439 Speaker 22: that doing nothing and having to navigate adaptation or response 1545 01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,920 Speaker 22: to climate damage will be incredibly costly as well. So 1546 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 22: I think, you know, and we are trying to be 1547 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 22: more realistic. You know, we couldn't do what we committed 1548 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,559 Speaker 22: to last year, and so this is us trying to 1549 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,320 Speaker 22: be much more honest and pragmatic and realistic about what 1550 01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,120 Speaker 22: we can do. But it's still ambitious, and it's still 1551 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,320 Speaker 22: going to stretch us, and we're going to do everything 1552 01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,320 Speaker 22: we can to push ourselves harder. 1553 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 4: But I think because I think, yes, of course, I 1554 01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:01,040 Speaker 4: think you guys are part of the problem in the sense, 1555 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:04,840 Speaker 4: like from your perspective, right, so you are just doing 1556 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 4: as a corporate what all these countries are going to do. 1557 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:10,479 Speaker 4: Look at the ambition, realize it's impossible, and pull back, 1558 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 4: and therefore the climate just keeps getting hotter. 1559 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 22: Well, we're still we are going to rid our emissions 1560 01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,519 Speaker 22: by twenty thirty. So we are taking absolute or gross 1561 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 22: emissions out of our business, and that's what we have 1562 01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 22: to do. We are take you know, we are using 1563 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,519 Speaker 22: less still, we're going to be burning less carbon and 1564 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,240 Speaker 22: we're you know, we are tracking the right way, and 1565 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,240 Speaker 22: that's what we all have to do. So it's possible 1566 01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 22: we couldn't. We couldn't, you know, because of things are 1567 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,640 Speaker 22: outside of our control. Don't mean to make excuses like 1568 01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 22: around fleet or SAFF. We couldn't get to the level 1569 01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,880 Speaker 22: that we thought we might be able to. But we're 1570 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 22: still we're still going really hard and we're still going 1571 01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,599 Speaker 22: to make a difference. And you know, it all counts. 1572 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,559 Speaker 22: Every you know, every decimal point of carbon savings makes 1573 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 22: a difference, and I think that's worth fighting for. 1574 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,200 Speaker 4: Hey, Kitty, thank you. I really appreciate having chat to 1575 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 4: you about it. It's Katy hanafan Chief Sustainability and Corporate 1576 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 4: Affairs officer at in New Zealand here that the Ponzi 1577 01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:02,559 Speaker 4: scheme of carbon is over. What The more that I 1578 01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,920 Speaker 4: watch what's happening right now, the more I talk to 1579 01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,720 Speaker 4: people like Kitty Hannafin, Chloe Swarbrick, people who actually deeply 1580 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,120 Speaker 4: committed to trying to save the planet, the more convinced 1581 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,280 Speaker 4: I am this thing is over. The Paris Agreement is 1582 01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:13,640 Speaker 4: going to fall over. And the closer we get to 1583 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 4: twenty thirty, that's our first target we have to meet. 1584 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,439 Speaker 4: The closer we get to that, we will start to 1585 01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,559 Speaker 4: realize at that point. The closer we get, the more 1586 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 4: we will realize that we cannot meet these targets and 1587 01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,240 Speaker 4: we're going to fall away from them. I'm happy to 1588 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 4: make that prediction now, and I'm sure that there will 1589 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,640 Speaker 4: just be mounting evidence as we get closer to it. 1590 01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,400 Speaker 4: Hither this is on the stat's New Zealand CPI basket. 1591 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,240 Speaker 4: Here the monitored home alarms and now out of the 1592 01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:39,120 Speaker 4: CPI basket because most of them require a copper phone line. 1593 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 4: And once you add the mobile or the Wi Fi 1594 01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:43,160 Speaker 4: module to the alarm, you can actually monitor it yourself, 1595 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,080 Speaker 4: so you don't get other people to monitor anymore because 1596 01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,040 Speaker 4: you don't need to because the Wi Fi means you're 1597 01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 4: monitoring on your phone, aren't you? That makes sense? Quarter 1598 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:50,280 Speaker 4: past six. 1599 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,520 Speaker 2: It's the Heather duper se Allan Drive full Show podcast 1600 01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,519 Speaker 2: on my Heart Radio powered by news dog Zebbi. 1601 01:14:58,720 --> 01:14:58,840 Speaker 14: Hey. 1602 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,640 Speaker 4: Although we've said goodbye to some, but it doesn't mean 1603 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,040 Speaker 4: we have to say goodbye to the refreshing flavors which 1604 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 4: we have in summer, do we? Because Bunderberg, the legendary 1605 01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 4: brewers of the iconic Bunderberg ginger beer, are coming out 1606 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:11,800 Speaker 4: with a brand new low sugar range.

But first 1626 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:05,720 Speaker 4: have you seen what Stats has just done? 1627 01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:06,880 Speaker 9: Yes? 1628 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,519 Speaker 1: Yes I did, kind of made me laugh. 1629 01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:10,519 Speaker 23: I shouldn't should it? 1630 01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:11,040 Speaker 10: Did it make it? 1631 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:12,600 Speaker 4: Why did it make you laugh because it's such a 1632 01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 4: basic error. 1633 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,320 Speaker 23: Well, yeah, it's kind of basic ra So they forgot 1634 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 23: to add the increase to car registration. So so it 1635 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,000 Speaker 23: turns out inflation was actually two point six percent in 1636 01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,599 Speaker 23: the last quarter, not two point five. But the bit 1637 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:28,840 Speaker 23: that kind of made me laugh was but we're just 1638 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:30,040 Speaker 23: going to leave it there. 1639 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:32,200 Speaker 4: You know, why are they doing that? Because why wouldn't 1640 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:33,680 Speaker 4: they want to update it to be accurate. 1641 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:38,280 Speaker 23: I don't know. Maybe maybe it's more complicated to unwind it. Obviously, 1642 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 23: all the economists in the Reserve Bank and everyone are 1643 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 23: going to see that and they're going to you know, 1644 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 23: they're going to know. I don't I don't think it's 1645 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,840 Speaker 23: going to be hugely material to what the Reserve Bank's thinking. 1646 01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,640 Speaker 23: But yeah, I'm not sure. Is it too hard to 1647 01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 23: change the website? That's I mean, the main thing is 1648 01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:56,160 Speaker 23: just the headlines. It's number sits there on the website. 1649 01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:58,679 Speaker 23: Maybe it's yeah, So William, this is. 1650 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 4: Not good for stats. Do you remember at the end 1651 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,439 Speaker 4: of last year when they counted how many people had 1652 01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:06,280 Speaker 4: lost their jobs in Wellington and they said it was 1653 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,559 Speaker 4: twenty thousand and it was like only ten percent of that. 1654 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,920 Speaker 23: Yeah, look they're under it must be under a fair 1655 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 23: bit of pressure while you were away too. In one 1656 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,839 Speaker 23: of the last you know, sort of conferences with Adrian 1657 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,360 Speaker 23: or you know, they it was Select Committee in fact, 1658 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 23: actually they the Reserve Bank, you know, kind of were 1659 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 23: using it as an excuse and it looked like an 1660 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,920 Speaker 23: excuse for some of the forecasting that hadn't been great. 1661 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 23: But they were saying, look, we're just not getting the 1662 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 23: numbers we want from stats and Z we're not confident 1663 01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:36,680 Speaker 23: in the you know, those GDP numbers that there was 1664 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 23: huge revision lay. So you know, we take with a 1665 01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:43,519 Speaker 23: grain of salt from the Reserve Bank under under pressure 1666 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:47,880 Speaker 23: to Select Committee. But you know, they were arguing that 1667 01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,800 Speaker 23: that it needed to be better resourced. I wonder whether 1668 01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,639 Speaker 23: it's resourcing or prioritization. Obviously the government's got no money 1669 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,240 Speaker 23: to resource it, but they need to and have said 1670 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 23: that they maybe need to look at where they're focusing 1671 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 23: and what the numbers are that really matter, because there's 1672 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,400 Speaker 23: a whole bunch of other numbers that you know, kind 1673 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,600 Speaker 23: of nice to have interesting bits of Kiwi information that 1674 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,640 Speaker 23: get counted that I just I think we're going to 1675 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 23: need to get these basics, right. 1676 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, totally. So who puts out the unemployment numbers? 1677 01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be status. 1678 01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:22,200 Speaker 4: So and it is it is. 1679 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,960 Speaker 23: It is nuanced stuff. You know, you'll get. So we're 1680 01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 23: talking about whether it goes up to economists talking about 1681 01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:29,599 Speaker 23: where it goes up from five point one to five 1682 01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 23: point two or five point three, so you know, the 1683 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:37,400 Speaker 23: margin ever era again is pretty pretty tight. Although you know, 1684 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,559 Speaker 23: if it goes up from five point one to five 1685 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,840 Speaker 23: point three, that that I think a quick count would 1686 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 23: be another six thousand people out of work. So it's 1687 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 23: you know, it's pretty real. You know, there's the current 1688 01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 23: number on classified as unemployed at the last count was 1689 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:58,799 Speaker 23: one hundred and fifty six thousand, so yeah, pretty significant, yeah. 1690 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:00,960 Speaker 4: Too, right leam listen, thanks very much, appreciate it, Liam Dan, 1691 01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,760 Speaker 4: the Herald's Business editor at large, Heather Trump is looking 1692 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,080 Speaker 4: to be right on the Paris Agreement. It's a load 1693 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,639 Speaker 4: of crap. That's from Trevor Well. This is a chicken 1694 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,400 Speaker 4: and egg scenario with Trump and the Paris Agreement, isn't it. 1695 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,559 Speaker 4: I mean, I think we all could anybody with half 1696 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,360 Speaker 4: a brain who actually paid a little bit of attention, 1697 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,080 Speaker 4: just took the time to look at it, would have 1698 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,720 Speaker 4: said a very long time ago, this is completely impossible, 1699 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:24,360 Speaker 4: and this is nothing more than just basically a wish 1700 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,960 Speaker 4: list that you will like, Basically, you know, writing a 1701 01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 4: list to Santa about what you'd like for Christmas. You 1702 01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 4: know that there's no Santa. You know it's not going 1703 01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,720 Speaker 4: to happen, and you know the Paris Agreement's not going 1704 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,000 Speaker 4: to happen. But the reason that it's falling apart, I 1705 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,000 Speaker 4: would say probably the reason it's falling apart at pace 1706 01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:44,639 Speaker 4: right now is probably because Trump pulled out and sort 1707 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 4: of precipitated what was already going to happen. But he's 1708 01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,200 Speaker 4: just sped it up. But yeah, you're right, Trevor's right. 1709 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,040 Speaker 4: Trump will in time probably be proved right by having 1710 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,040 Speaker 4: just looked at it and gone load of nonsense get 1711 01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:55,840 Speaker 4: out six twenty three, whether. 1712 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,439 Speaker 1: It's macro microbe or just playing economics. 1713 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,879 Speaker 2: It's small on the fizz this now with Heather duplicy 1714 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,759 Speaker 2: Ellen and who has insurance and investments, grow your wealth 1715 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:06,759 Speaker 2: to protect your future. 1716 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:07,439 Speaker 1: Talk. 1717 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,519 Speaker 4: Hey, it was only a matter of time. Karmala was 1718 01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 4: going to be back at some stage and Karmala is back. 1719 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,839 Speaker 4: She's made her first major speech since Donald Trump took office, 1720 01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,599 Speaker 4: not happy about the state of things in the US 1721 01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 4: at the moment, and really made an effort to explain 1722 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,439 Speaker 4: why she's upset at Donald Trump. But some things don't change, 1723 01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,400 Speaker 4: and that is a Karmala word salad. 1724 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 24: What we are in fact witnessing is a high velocity 1725 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:43,880 Speaker 24: event where a vessel is being used for the swift 1726 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:48,639 Speaker 24: implementation of an agenda that has been decades in the making. 1727 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,479 Speaker 4: Heather Duplicity alan Fully, no one has any idea what 1728 01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,559 Speaker 4: she was saying at all whatsoever. We're going to go 1729 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 4: to Ukraine just after the half past. They're gonna have 1730 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:00,799 Speaker 4: a chat there about what's going on with the minerals 1731 01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 4: deal and whether the Ukraine people of the Ukraine are 1732 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,559 Speaker 4: going to be happy with it, and so on. Back 1733 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,760 Speaker 4: to just back to my second new favorite topic of 1734 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,000 Speaker 4: the day, first being obviously the Paris Agreement's going to 1735 01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,120 Speaker 4: fall apart at some stage. David Seymour and what he's 1736 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,160 Speaker 4: going to do to the ministries. This is why we 1737 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,759 Speaker 4: need to get rid of some of these ministries and ministers, 1738 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:21,320 Speaker 4: right the Minister for Women. So today the minute. 1739 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:21,320 Speaker 13: And I do. 1740 01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:22,640 Speaker 4: I just want to say at the outset, I've got 1741 01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,639 Speaker 4: no nothing against the actual person, Nicola greg She seems 1742 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,080 Speaker 4: to be doing a fantastic job, but she is the 1743 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,880 Speaker 4: Minister for Women and that's a stupid thing, the Minister 1744 01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:35,160 Speaker 4: for women. So today she launched an online toolkit aimed 1745 01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 4: to help women in the public eye address on and 1746 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 4: offline harassment and abuse. The toolkit can be found on 1747 01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:45,600 Speaker 4: the Ministry for Women website. It includes practical guidance to 1748 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 4: help women in public roles navigate harassment, plan respond, and 1749 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,280 Speaker 4: say visible on their own terms. So it's basically just 1750 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,599 Speaker 4: like a little bit of advice on if you're getting 1751 01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 4: bullied how to deal with the bully. Now, look, if 1752 01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,000 Speaker 4: you're a woman in the public eye, you probably know 1753 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,120 Speaker 4: how to use Googles. You're probably an adult, right, so 1754 01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 4: you can google it, just go on the internet. But instead, 1755 01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,320 Speaker 4: what we've done is we've paid some public servants to 1756 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,599 Speaker 4: go on the internet and then get that information together 1757 01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,760 Speaker 4: and put it a nice little toolkit, and we've paid 1758 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:15,320 Speaker 4: somebody to put it on the website, and then we've 1759 01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:17,559 Speaker 4: paid somebody to come up with a launch event. Can 1760 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,320 Speaker 4: you see why we this is self justification just cut 1761 01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,919 Speaker 4: the role and then we don't have this nonsense justifying 1762 01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:24,320 Speaker 4: the role headlines. 1763 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:31,400 Speaker 2: Next everything from SMEs to the big corporates, The Business 1764 01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:35,840 Speaker 2: Hour with Heather Duplicy, Ellen and Mass Insurance and investments, 1765 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,920 Speaker 2: Grow your wealth, protect your future, use talks that be. 1766 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 2: I know you're. 1767 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,280 Speaker 4: Wondering why New Zealand Music month first of May, so 1768 01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,120 Speaker 4: you know you can celebrate it for the remained all 1769 01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,120 Speaker 4: of May.

After months of tense 1771 01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 4: negotiations and that meeting in the White House, Ukraine and 1772 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 4: the US have signed a minerals deal now. Under the deal, 1773 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:12,880 Speaker 4: the two countries would share profits from the sale of 1774 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,360 Speaker 4: Ukraine's mineral reserves in the future, and Ukraine is believed 1775 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:18,680 Speaker 4: to have vast reserves of critical minerals like graphite, titanium 1776 01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:22,000 Speaker 4: and lithium. Ewan MacDonald is the editor of New Voice 1777 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,840 Speaker 4: of Ukraine and with US. Ewan Hello, Hello, is this 1778 01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 4: a good deal for Ukraine. 1779 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,920 Speaker 10: It's a better deal than the one that was offered previously. 1780 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 10: Ukraine has been negotiating for a long time with the 1781 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 10: US administration about this deal. It was not seen positively 1782 01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 10: at first, I think in Ukraine because it seemed to 1783 01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 10: be exploitative of Ukraine. Ukraine is in a bad situation 1784 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,880 Speaker 10: at the moment, under attack by Russia. The war is 1785 01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:57,760 Speaker 10: going on, lots of damage done this one. This deal 1786 01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 10: appears to be better because it does actually include the 1787 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 10: idea that the US might invest actual military aid things 1788 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 10: like air defense systems as part of its contribution to 1789 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 10: the fund. So I think this deal will be taken 1790 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:16,400 Speaker 10: a bit more positively in Ukraine than it was before. 1791 01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 4: So will I mean, given that, what we should probably 1792 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:21,800 Speaker 4: take from the deal is that the US is now 1793 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:26,040 Speaker 4: financially involved in whether Ukraine actually comes out of this. Well, 1794 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,880 Speaker 4: should Putin be worried about this deal being signed. 1795 01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:34,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's not good news for put In because what 1796 01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,599 Speaker 10: it does is it binds Ukraine and US together, improves 1797 01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:42,800 Speaker 10: the relationship which Putin was obviously trying to undermine and 1798 01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,799 Speaker 10: has been trying to undermine ever since the US started 1799 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:49,559 Speaker 10: to engage with Russia as part of this peace process. 1800 01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 10: The deal is not really I wouldn't say it's part 1801 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:56,480 Speaker 10: of the peace process because it's focused on the reconstruction 1802 01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 10: of Ukraine after the war has ended. But it maybe 1803 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:03,519 Speaker 10: takes us a little bit down the road more towards 1804 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,360 Speaker 10: actually starting to poke about peace. Maybe the US will 1805 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:09,360 Speaker 10: be more engaged in trying to achieve a peace settlement 1806 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,240 Speaker 10: because basically no progress has been made on that so far. 1807 01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 4: What are the real reason do you think that Pusian 1808 01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 4: announced that cease fire for next week? 1809 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 10: The Seaspire dates coincide with Russia's Victory Day, which is 1810 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 10: on May ninth, when traditionally Russia holds a large military 1811 01:25:29,800 --> 01:25:35,000 Speaker 10: parade in Moscow. Russia's air defense systems have proved to 1812 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:39,320 Speaker 10: be not very effective against Ukrainian drones, and Ukraine now 1813 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 10: has drone forces and missiles capable of striking targets in 1814 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:48,559 Speaker 10: Moscow and beyond. So this is in Ukraine. It's quite 1815 01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 10: clearly seen as basically a cynical way of Putin to 1816 01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:57,000 Speaker 10: hijack the idea of peace in order to protect his 1817 01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:59,559 Speaker 10: parade and make sure that there are no embarrassing moments 1818 01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:04,240 Speaker 10: his foreign guests are in Russia for this parade. 1819 01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,439 Speaker 4: And you and do you think that Ukraine will honor that? 1820 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:16,560 Speaker 10: It is usually Ukraine goes along with these Russian unilateral 1821 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,720 Speaker 10: cease fires which are not really cease fires at all 1822 01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:22,400 Speaker 10: because Russia tends to keep firing anyway. It uses these 1823 01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:27,840 Speaker 10: cease fires to improve its positions, bring up logistics and 1824 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:35,240 Speaker 10: troops to the front, unmolested by Ukrainian drones. So Ukraine 1825 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,720 Speaker 10: will probably what usually does is says it will go 1826 01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:43,719 Speaker 10: along with it. But if the Russians fire, then Ukraine 1827 01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 10: will respond in kind, and usually the Russians fire. 1828 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,000 Speaker 4: Now you and what are the chances that this piece 1829 01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,479 Speaker 4: deal that has been has been proffered by the US, 1830 01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,920 Speaker 4: where you know, there would be this massive concession of 1831 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,080 Speaker 4: land by Ukraine. What are the chances that this thing 1832 01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:58,280 Speaker 4: actually squeaks over the line. 1833 01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:05,880 Speaker 10: Very little chance, because of the political situation in Ukraine, 1834 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 10: which is very much against just handing over land for peace. 1835 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:14,360 Speaker 10: That is not the roots of the conflict are not 1836 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,439 Speaker 10: really to do with land, is to do with political 1837 01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,880 Speaker 10: control of Ukraine and the very idea of Ukraine being 1838 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:25,120 Speaker 10: a sovereign, independent state. Russia wants to destroy Ukraine basically 1839 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,679 Speaker 10: in that and make it a sort of a vassal state. Also, 1840 01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:32,679 Speaker 10: the peace deal, although it seems to give a lot 1841 01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,639 Speaker 10: to Russia, doesn't really give it all it wants. Again politically, 1842 01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,400 Speaker 10: it wants control of Ukraine and so there's also going 1843 01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 10: to be pushed back from Russia and they don't like 1844 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,120 Speaker 10: the deal either, even though it appears to be far 1845 01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:46,960 Speaker 10: more beneficial to Russia than to Ukraine. 1846 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:48,760 Speaker 4: So what's it going to take to make the steel work? 1847 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 10: It would have to involve real negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, 1848 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:03,040 Speaker 10: the US as a mediator. At the moment, the US 1849 01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:06,639 Speaker 10: is just going presenting a plan to Russia and then 1850 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:10,000 Speaker 10: taking it to Ukraine to say, to see if it 1851 01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:14,160 Speaker 10: likes it. Ukraine also and then it goes to Ukraine 1852 01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 10: and with another plan and says can we do this? 1853 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:20,240 Speaker 10: Ukraine agreed to cease fire fifty days ago that was 1854 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:24,599 Speaker 10: offered by the Trump administration but was never taken up 1855 01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,160 Speaker 10: by the Russians. So there would have to be a 1856 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 10: proper peace process really with contacts between Ukraine and Russia 1857 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 10: through a mediator. Probably the moment is a sort of 1858 01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,719 Speaker 10: shuttle diplomacy which is not achieving any results. 1859 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:39,160 Speaker 4: You and it's good to talk to you. I really 1860 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,879 Speaker 4: appreciate you talking us through it. Thanks mate. Ewan McDonald 1861 01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,799 Speaker 4: who is the editor of New Voice of Ukraine. 1862 01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:47,000 Speaker 1: Heather do for see Alan, does Ukraine. 1863 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:47,559 Speaker 4: Get their land back? 1864 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:47,720 Speaker 1: Well? 1865 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:48,000 Speaker 19: Aaron. 1866 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:50,640 Speaker 4: That all depends on what happens here from here on. 1867 01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,200 Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like that certainly doesn't sound like they're 1868 01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:56,479 Speaker 4: going to give it up now, Lord Lord. And I'm 1869 01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:58,360 Speaker 4: telling you this. I'm not telling you this actually because 1870 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,280 Speaker 4: it's New Zealand music math. But it's a happy it's 1871 01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:03,439 Speaker 4: a happy moment that it is that. But also Lord 1872 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:06,200 Speaker 4: has announced that her new album is going to be 1873 01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:08,439 Speaker 4: out in about eight weeks time. She's announced the launch date. 1874 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,720 Speaker 4: It's out June twenty seven, and she's released the cover 1875 01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:16,200 Speaker 4: photo and that apparently, apparently it's a bit controversial because 1876 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,880 Speaker 4: it's the X ray of her pelvic her I'm assuming 1877 01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 4: it's hers, could be anybody's of a pelvic area X 1878 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,360 Speaker 4: ray of a pelvis with a zipper and a belt buckle. 1879 01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:26,840 Speaker 4: I'm explaining this to you because I had to get 1880 01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:28,200 Speaker 4: answer to explain it to me because I looked at 1881 01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 4: it and I said, ants, what's that? And it was 1882 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:32,920 Speaker 4: her zipper, a zipper and a belt buckle and looks 1883 01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:34,800 Speaker 4: like some sort of like a marina or something. And 1884 01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:36,240 Speaker 4: if you don't know what a my arena is, I'm 1885 01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:37,120 Speaker 4: not explaining it to you. 1886 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:39,040 Speaker 25: Just to be fair, yea hither you recognize that one 1887 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,479 Speaker 25: by yourself. I didn't have to help you out with that. 1888 01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,400 Speaker 4: One, because, yeah, once I knew it. 1889 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,320 Speaker 25: Was belt buckle, I see a belt buckle on that one. 1890 01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:47,400 Speaker 4: Yet, once I knew what part of the body like, 1891 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:49,880 Speaker 4: once I understood, he gave me some landmarks that I 1892 01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:50,960 Speaker 4: figured out the rest know. 1893 01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 25: The us of doctors. It clearly wasn't the head. 1894 01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:55,439 Speaker 4: No, it wasn't the head. Now listen, Okay, here's the 1895 01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:58,920 Speaker 4: thing about this. Okay, so producer Sam, who I don't 1896 01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:01,760 Speaker 4: know if you've met Producer Sam, but producer Sam is 1897 01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 4: the jet is the junior in the squad, and Producer 1898 01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 4: Sam is new. Producer Sam happened while I was a 1899 01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:09,240 Speaker 4: maternity leave and I arrived and then he was there, 1900 01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:12,000 Speaker 4: and so he is part of the squad and he's 1901 01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,759 Speaker 4: set himself up. But he's not very good with money 1902 01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:18,000 Speaker 4: because he woke up this morning and paid ninety dollars 1903 01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:22,040 Speaker 4: for Lord's album. And I didn't understand this because I'm 1904 01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:25,479 Speaker 4: going to get Lord's album for free on Spotify. So 1905 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,120 Speaker 4: I was like, why are you paying ninety dollars? Like 1906 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,439 Speaker 4: what is arriving that you've paid ninety dollars for because 1907 01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,080 Speaker 4: it's arriving on my phone. And he said, what happened 1908 01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:36,360 Speaker 4: was he woke up this morning and he saw that 1909 01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 4: Lord had released because this is the thing that they 1910 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:39,880 Speaker 4: do now, these artists, because they're all about to make 1911 01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 4: a buck in a clever way, because you know, they 1912 01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:43,599 Speaker 4: can't make it through CD sales and stuff, so they 1913 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:46,320 Speaker 4: release it on vinyl now, and they don't just release 1914 01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,639 Speaker 4: one version on vinyl, but they release about four versions 1915 01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 4: at a time. So you can get the JB High 1916 01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 4: Fi Special Edition, you could get the standard, you can 1917 01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,640 Speaker 4: get the one that you know blows fireworks when you 1918 01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 4: play it, you could get the one that's autographed. So 1919 01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:01,479 Speaker 4: he saw that in the it had sold out in 1920 01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 4: less than an hour, and he freaked out. And that, 1921 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,080 Speaker 4: by the way, is a marketing gimmick. 1922 01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:05,400 Speaker 1: Sam. 1923 01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:07,559 Speaker 4: It didn't sell out in less than an hour because 1924 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,280 Speaker 4: that's how many people wanted it. It's sold out in 1925 01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,040 Speaker 4: less than an hour because they released so few that 1926 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,040 Speaker 4: it's you know what I mean, like we've been here before, 1927 01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:17,599 Speaker 4: haven't we anyway, because we've been weren't born yesterday. But anyway, 1928 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:20,320 Speaker 4: Sam freaked out, so he paid ninety dollars for a 1929 01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 4: vinyl old school that is autographed, and that apparently when 1930 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:28,240 Speaker 4: you play it has a picture, it develops a picture 1931 01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,519 Speaker 4: as you play it, which apparently I didn't know that 1932 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,200 Speaker 4: these things could do. But this is what vinyl technology 1933 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 4: does now. So Sam is gonna But now here's the 1934 01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:38,960 Speaker 4: problem for Sam. He doesn't want to ruin the picture, 1935 01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,360 Speaker 4: so he's going to have to buy He's gonna have 1936 01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 4: to buy another one that is a stock standard one 1937 01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:46,720 Speaker 4: that he can play. Do you see how he just 1938 01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,360 Speaker 4: got played by Lord? Well done? 1939 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:48,759 Speaker 10: Lord. 1940 01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:51,400 Speaker 4: You don't need financial literacy classes, do you? 1941 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:51,599 Speaker 1: Were? 1942 01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 4: Off to the UK next?

But what does success look like for him? 1953 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:24,839 Speaker 9: I think it means winning hundreds of seats in the councils. 1954 01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 9: Across the country and getting into power in county councils 1955 01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:31,200 Speaker 9: as a first step towards what he believes will be 1956 01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,639 Speaker 9: a n Idel Farage premiership in four years time. Now, 1957 01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:39,600 Speaker 9: let's not get carried away here. This is an Everestian 1958 01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:42,200 Speaker 9: task for Farage. But that's the ambition he has set 1959 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,839 Speaker 9: for him and his Reform UK Party. 1960 01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:45,439 Speaker 6: Now. 1961 01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:49,280 Speaker 9: Right now, I think UK politics is very split. There's 1962 01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:52,680 Speaker 9: deep unease about Starmar's government. A lot of people are 1963 01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,160 Speaker 9: not happy with some of the changes Starmer has made. 1964 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:59,920 Speaker 9: The Conservatives under Kenny Baden are going nowhere. So there's 1965 01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,800 Speaker 9: there's lots of fractures and splits and Farage is getting 1966 01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 9: a lot of air time as he always does, and 1967 01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:08,400 Speaker 9: his view is that this is the council election where 1968 01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:11,840 Speaker 9: Reform get into power in some county councils and show 1969 01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 9: what they can do. But make no mistake, he's got 1970 01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:15,280 Speaker 9: huge ambitions. 1971 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,799 Speaker 4: I mean, look, what are the chances that he takes 1972 01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:21,400 Speaker 4: as many seats as the Tories. 1973 01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:26,080 Speaker 9: I think that is absolutely possible. I think the Conservatives 1974 01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,360 Speaker 9: will lose hundreds of seats. I think Labor will lose 1975 01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:30,720 Speaker 9: hundreds of seats, and the person who will benefit the 1976 01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:33,360 Speaker 9: most now it may well be just the protest vote. 1977 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,240 Speaker 9: One thing that's interesting here today. Just on a side note, 1978 01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:39,919 Speaker 9: in terms of turnout, historically low turnout in council elections 1979 01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,120 Speaker 9: at this time of year, it is going to be 1980 01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:45,600 Speaker 9: the hottest May day in English history. It's going to 1981 01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:48,000 Speaker 9: hit twenty nine celsius today in parts of the south 1982 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:51,800 Speaker 9: and the southeast. It may even hit thirty percent thirty celsius. 1983 01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,680 Speaker 9: So what we're looking at is perfect conditions. 1984 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:54,880 Speaker 15: You know. 1985 01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:56,519 Speaker 9: It's not as if it's going to be lashing rain 1986 01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:58,560 Speaker 9: all day and people will look out the window and 1987 01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:01,200 Speaker 9: say I'm not going to vote. I think voter turnout 1988 01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:04,720 Speaker 9: will be higher than the media are saying, and for 1989 01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,599 Speaker 9: as will benefit. You know, he's saying all the right things. 1990 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:10,080 Speaker 9: What he needs to do is turn a protest vote 1991 01:34:10,200 --> 01:34:12,720 Speaker 9: into an actual movement and get the mechanics of a 1992 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:16,240 Speaker 9: political party that can take power in four years time. 1993 01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:18,679 Speaker 9: I don't think he can, but that's what he needs 1994 01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:19,000 Speaker 9: to do. 1995 01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,120 Speaker 4: YEA very interesting all right? And where are we at 1996 01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:22,439 Speaker 4: with the Birmingham Bins strike? 1997 01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:27,040 Speaker 9: More meetings today? Would you believe this is week eight now? 1998 01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:31,360 Speaker 9: There are still thousands of tons of rubbish all over 1999 01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,559 Speaker 9: the streets of Birmingham week eight, as I say, and 2000 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,320 Speaker 9: the council leaders are sitting down today with the union leaders. 2001 01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:40,840 Speaker 9: There's talk of now removing pay from the drivers of 2002 01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:42,680 Speaker 9: the lorries as opposed to the guys and girls who 2003 01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 9: actually pick up the rubbish. So it's getting quite acrimonious. 2004 01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:48,879 Speaker 9: But I think the anger they're very lucky in Birmingham 2005 01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:51,800 Speaker 9: that there are no council elections for some reason. Birmingham 2006 01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:55,040 Speaker 9: is not having elections today because I think every single 2007 01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:57,920 Speaker 9: one of those councilors will be out on their backsides 2008 01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:01,440 Speaker 9: the level of failure of leadership we've seen over this issue. 2009 01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,000 Speaker 9: Can you imagine eight weeks without having your bins picked up? 2010 01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,840 Speaker 9: And as I say, twenty nine celsies today, how's that 2011 01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:08,519 Speaker 9: gonna smell? 2012 01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,160 Speaker 4: Hmm, that's not good at all. Hey, Inda, thanks very much, appreciate. 2013 01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:14,280 Speaker 4: It's Inde Brady, our UK correspondent, Heather. Is your Sam 2014 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:18,960 Speaker 4: the same Sam that Hoskins winds up in the morning? No, No, 2015 01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:21,000 Speaker 4: it actually is different. But listen, there's a thing that 2016 01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:23,920 Speaker 4: happens here at News TALKSB and it's really weird. But 2017 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,439 Speaker 4: most of the male producers are called Sam and all 2018 01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,320 Speaker 4: of the female producers are called Laura. And so what 2019 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:34,759 Speaker 4: it does is it it's just because how this basically 2020 01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:38,479 Speaker 4: works is that people like myself in Hosking and Ryan 2021 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:43,759 Speaker 4: and Kerry are divas, like just tantrums about everything, tantrums 2022 01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,280 Speaker 4: about tantrums about the printer, tantrums about that. I don't 2023 01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:48,080 Speaker 4: know if you heard Hosking having a tantrum about the 2024 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:49,880 Speaker 4: hot tap yesterday, but he just did on air what 2025 01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 4: I did off fair and we got a jug as 2026 01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 4: a result. He got a thermist del of it. He'll 2027 01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:56,000 Speaker 4: tell you about that tomorrow, I'm sure. Just lots of 2028 01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,200 Speaker 4: tantrums from the hosts. And what they've realized is that 2029 01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:01,800 Speaker 4: it's just too much for the hosts to have to 2030 01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:04,519 Speaker 4: get to know people. So they just get that the 2031 01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:06,600 Speaker 4: only people that they will hire and to produce the 2032 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:08,880 Speaker 4: jobs of people with the same names, because it's we 2033 01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:10,240 Speaker 4: don't want to have to learn another thing. I don't 2034 01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,080 Speaker 4: want to Dave. I don't need a Dave. I've got 2035 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,720 Speaker 4: an ants and of Sam and that's enough. And he's 2036 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:16,760 Speaker 4: got a Sam and a Glenn and that's enough. And 2037 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,040 Speaker 4: I've got a Laura and he's had a Laura, and 2038 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:21,160 Speaker 4: I've had a Laura before. In fact, I've had three Lauras. 2039 01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:23,599 Speaker 4: So we're just what we're trying to do is we're 2040 01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:27,080 Speaker 4: just trying to manage the divas. That's all that's going 2041 01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,200 Speaker 4: on here. And I tell you what, who's Kerry got again? 2042 01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:33,040 Speaker 4: Is it a Laura? Or to Helen? When Helen leaves it, 2043 01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:36,080 Speaker 4: she's probably the fifteenth Helen that Carry's had. When Helen leaves, 2044 01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:38,000 Speaker 4: she'll get another Helen because we're not going to tolerate 2045 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,080 Speaker 4: anything else. Ight away from seven, it's. 2046 01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,960 Speaker 2: The Heather too for see allan Drive full show podcast 2047 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 2: on iHeartRadio powered by Newstalk zb OH. 2048 01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:49,599 Speaker 4: By the way, weird thing, you know, I was telling 2049 01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,320 Speaker 4: you at the start of the program about Elon Musk 2050 01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 4: and you know, maybe getting eventually replaced as the CEO 2051 01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:58,080 Speaker 4: over at Tesla and whatnot. He tuned up. And part 2052 01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:00,559 Speaker 4: of the reason is because he's spending so much time Washington. 2053 01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:03,920 Speaker 4: He turned up in Washington today at the US Cabinet 2054 01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:08,040 Speaker 4: meeting wearing two baseball caps like he was wearing a cap, 2055 01:37:08,200 --> 01:37:10,360 Speaker 4: and then he was wearing a cap on top of 2056 01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:10,840 Speaker 4: that cap. 2057 01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, miss present. 2058 01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,120 Speaker 2: You know they say I wear a lot of hats 2059 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,920 Speaker 2: and as you can see that's true. 2060 01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:23,160 Speaker 1: Even my hat has a hat. 2061 01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:26,479 Speaker 4: He's weird like that is a weird thing to do. 2062 01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,840 Speaker 4: Very quickly. Got to tell you coppers. You know we've 2063 01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,600 Speaker 4: been talking about the fitness test on this program. It 2064 01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:35,599 Speaker 4: doesn't appear that that is the biggest problem that we've 2065 01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 4: got with our police graduates. Whether they can run and 2066 01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:39,920 Speaker 4: jump into all those things, it's whether they can drive. 2067 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:42,760 Speaker 4: Because one of them has just graduated, and at the 2068 01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:46,040 Speaker 4: start of last month, about a month ago, about six 2069 01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,760 Speaker 4: o'clock in the evening Wellington, north of Wellington, not far 2070 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:53,799 Speaker 4: from Port to Partimatter road rolled the car multiple times, 2071 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:58,200 Speaker 4: not chasing anyone, not going to an emergency, no lights, 2072 01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,360 Speaker 4: no sirens, but just crash. The car just crashed it 2073 01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 4: so badly it rolled multiple times and the copper and 2074 01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,839 Speaker 4: the copper's passenger also a copper, had to go to hospital. 2075 01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:09,479 Speaker 4: The cops won't confirm whether there was excess speed. But 2076 01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:11,680 Speaker 4: I didn't come down with the last shower, and you 2077 01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:13,439 Speaker 4: and I know they took the car out for a whoon, 2078 01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 4: didn't they. So maybe driving skills lacking, maybe brains as well. 2079 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:19,680 Speaker 4: Maybe we need a brain test and. 2080 01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:22,920 Speaker 25: Outlook for Thursday by a did smash play us out 2081 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,479 Speaker 25: to this, yep, yep.
