So here's 73 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: the story I loved from this week. They opened Sheinnado 74 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 3: O'Connor's will. She's left everything for her children. It's three 75 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: point four million dollars. Considering I've got four of her albums, 76 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: I thought it might be a little bit more than that, 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: but three point four is still three point four. What 78 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: I love about this is that she's told her children 79 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: to maximize the value of her music catalog. Here you go, kids, 80 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: here's everything I ever made. Milk it for all it's worth. 81 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: I'm not here. I don't care. Cash me out, have fun, 82 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: get rich. I wasn't so I thought about my will. 83 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: My will is far more prosaic. It just says, I 84 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: leave all my worldly possessions to Helen. If we pass together. Well, 85 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: it's not our problem, it's the boy's problem. So good luck, guys. 86 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: But having read Sannades, I'd like to take my will 87 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: upper level.

I want to 89 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 3: give it some sparkle, and then I'd write, I Andrew Dickens, 90 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: being of sound mind, leave all my stuff to Helen, 91 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 3: the mother of my children, the love of my life. 92 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: Go crazy, girl, travel the world, buy a ridiculous car, 93 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: give it to a dog's home. Whatever. Just go out there, 94 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: my baby, and live your best life. But there's only 95 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: one Profisoma. Leave nothing for the boys. 96 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: Dickens. 97 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: The deputy mayor of Auckland, Desick Simpson, suddenly made the 98 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: news yesterday. Her son registered the domain name Deslie for 99 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: mayor dot co dot in is Head just before Christmas. 100 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: Doesn't work now, Smog being touted that she would run 101 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: one day. The excitement lasted only until she stepped off 102 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: a plane yesterday after a twenty seven hour flight. She 103 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 3: had been on holiday. She talked to the Herald. She 104 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 3: said her son registered the name as a Christmas joke. 105 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: They all had a laugh, but when asked directly if 106 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 3: she was running, she said she wouldn't rule it out. 107 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: Apparently she has withdrawn from the Communities and Residence Party. 108 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: That further adds fuel to the fire if Desi Rand 109 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 3: should be a real threat. She's well liked, the Dago 110 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: dresser who looks like a hoop with a sparking personality. 111 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: She embodies Auckland and Ork remembers her strength during the floods. 112 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 3: She's tough. She's an old school Conservative. Her husband, Peter Goodfellow, 113 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: has been the National Party president. She's a strong center 114 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 3: right candidate and there have been many calling for her 115 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: to step it up for many years, and I'm one 116 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: of them. But she's always demurred, always happy to be 117 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 3: the second fiddle, particularly when there's a conservative mayor in 118 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: Wayne Brown in the post. But you know, maybe something's changed. 119 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: But ask yourself, if the deputy mayor decides to run 120 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: for mayor, what has that got to say about the 121 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 3: current mayor and the way she feels about them. Meanwhile, 122 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: on learning about the Christmas prank, the Taxpayers Union offered 123 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 3: to pay for the site, which I thought was a 124 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: very interesting move. If Desi and Wayne ran for the job, 125 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 3: it would split the center right vote and clear the 126 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: way for a lefty which the Taxpayers Union and Desley 127 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: and Wayne wouldn't want. So why are they prodding her along? 128 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: And again what does that say about the current mayor? 129 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: What I can say is I hear a sound, and 130 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: that is the sound of Paula Bennett's day dreams going 131 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 3: up in flames. It's five point thirteen good news for 132 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 3: the wall sector. A kayanga Or is going to use wool. 133 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 3: Remember that they said before. Now we're going to go 134 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 3: for synthetic. It's cheaper. Put in a bid wool and 135 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: we'll see. But they just never looked at the bids. Well, 136 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: apparently they've now decided to use wool. I think it's 137 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 3: a great story for a Friday and we'll talk about 138 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: it in a moment. 139 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: Get ahead of the headlines on early edition Andrew Dickets 140 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: and One Room Make your Property Search simple news talk 141 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: said be. 142 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: It is five sixteen good news for wool kaing or 143 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 3: Or has made a U turn on the carpets. If 144 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: you remember last year, Housing New Zealand asked for tenders 145 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: from synthetic carpet suppliers for more than five thousand of 146 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: its homes, which caused an uproar from the wall sector. 147 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: Now it will reopen tenders allowing bids from suppliers of 148 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: wool carpets. So the Campaign for Wall General manager Kara 149 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: Biggs joins me. Now in Cara, you must be ecstatic. 150 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks for having us, Andrew. We are really ecstatic. 151 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 8: It's very good news. And you know, hats off to 152 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 8: kind of Order because they listened. You know, there was 153 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 8: a huge collective cry across New Zealand of you know, 154 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 8: come on, guys, this isn't right. You know what we 155 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 8: need some answers. They knew it wasn't going on, and 156 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 8: they reopen the tender. So it's very good news. 157 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: They're allowing bids from wool suppliers, but they can still 158 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 3: decide to go with synthetic. Does that disappoint. 159 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 8: You No, No, Look, all that we were asking for 160 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 8: from Coying Order was a chance to be able to 161 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 8: show them not just the price of wool and how 162 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 8: we can compete on price, but how we can compete 163 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 8: on value and significantly outperform synthetic carpets as well. And 164 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 8: you know, I have full confidence in our wall carpet 165 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 8: companies that they can show coying order that there's a 166 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 8: huge amount of value that maybe needs to be accounted 167 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 8: for by coying order and have a slightly higher weighting. 168 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 8: You know, the value of wool is you know, it's natural, 169 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 8: it's flame resistant, it's warmer, it's more absorbent, all these 170 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 8: things that actually mean that it's a better and healthier 171 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 8: alternative for the people that they're putting into their community housing. 172 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: I did talk bick about this when the issue first 173 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 3: came up, and everyone said, you just said, well, it's 174 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 3: more absorbent and the problem with people are craying or 175 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 3: houses that they're constantly spilling stuff on carpets one percent. 176 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, and you know, wool carpets are more durable as well. 177 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 8: They actually, if they're looked after, they can actually be 178 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 8: a lot more durable, last a lot longer. So there's 179 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 8: a wee bit of education that needs to happen around 180 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 8: there as well. But this is all stuff that we 181 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 8: can we can do. You know that this can happen. 182 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: So is it an even playing field? But between synthetic 183 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: and wall. 184 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 8: Now, I think being able to be a being able 185 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 8: to put a proposal in makes it an even playing 186 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 8: field in this instance, and saying that I do think 187 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 8: that the waiting around environmental care and you know the 188 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 8: value of wall versus just having a cost conversation is 189 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 8: going to be really important going forward. And that's where 190 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 8: we need our government agencies to be thinking not just 191 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 8: about cost but about value for the New Zealand people. 192 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: All Right, Cara, I think I congratulate you and I 193 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: thank you for your time today. That's Kara Biggs, the 194 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: campaign for wooll General Manager. I've always been a fan 195 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: of wool. I've always been a fan of wall carpets. 196 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 3: I do not understand why wool has been a dying trade. 197 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 3: More the better as far as I concern. Now you 198 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 3: want another good news story? Here it is the United 199 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 3: States is now officially our second largest export destination total 200 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: value nine billion dollars. The States overtook Australia according to 201 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: Stats New Zealand but remains behind China. So how good 202 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 3: is that and what are the new challenges? We'll talk 203 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 3: to Export New Zealand. 204 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: Next on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition 205 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: with Andrew Dickens and One Roof. 206 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Make your property search simple youth Talk said be. 207 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: It is five twenty one time for the second good 208 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: news story of the day. The US is our second 209 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 3: largest export market. It overtook Australia. China is now number one. 210 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 3: Katherine Beard joins me now she is the Advocacy Director 211 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 3: of Export New Zealand. 212 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: HOWI Catherine, good morning. 213 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: So what drove it up? What spiked it over Australia? 214 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 3: What's working? What are we selling? 215 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: Look? 216 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 9: A lot of it's been driven actually by beef exports, 217 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 9: and that beef has been used in hamburger patties. And 218 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 9: what seems to be really well received is the grass 219 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 9: fed New Zealand beef. And I think they mix it 220 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 9: with grain fed USA beef, so they get the fat 221 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 9: from the US beef and the nice lean beef from 222 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 9: New Zealand. 223 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 3: That is very good. I love a good New Zealand beef. Now, 224 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: is this rise in US exports balancing out the lack 225 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: of demand in China as their economy stagnates a little bit? 226 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 9: Look, it's definitely helping. China is hugely important to New Zealand. 227 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 9: But what is remarkable about the US skiing into the 228 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 9: number two spot for our exports is we don't actually 229 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 9: have a free trade agreement with United States, So it 230 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 9: just goes to show that it's actually a very open market. 231 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 9: And while there are some tariffs, you know, they're not 232 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 9: high enough to be you know, preventing that trade happening. 233 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 9: I think the key WE dollar is probably helping as well, 234 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 9: and that it's quite low versus the US dollars, so 235 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 9: that's going to make our beef, you know, quite affordable. 236 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 3: But if we're hoping for a free traded agreement, if 237 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 3: we're hoping for a better market to go to, the 238 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: chances of that happening are very low under the current 239 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: administration in the United States of America. So what challenges 240 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 3: will that provide? 241 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: You know? 242 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 4: That's right. 243 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 9: So the big challenge and worry that I think a 244 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 9: lot of countries have and everybody's watching it closely, is 245 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 9: what the United States will do with regard to tariffs. 246 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 9: So we're definitely keeping an eye on that. If the 247 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 9: United States puts on blanket tariffs for all imports, then 248 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 9: that wouldn't be so for us because we'd still be competitive. 249 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 9: I mean, it means everybody's being taxed at the same 250 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 9: rate essentially, so yet that cost would then fall on 251 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 9: the USA consumer, but we would still be competitive, so 252 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 9: we just have to watch and wait and see. Our 253 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 9: trade balance with the United States is quite even, so 254 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 9: you know, we important export about the same. Ye know, 255 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 9: it's not hugely different in terms of value, so I 256 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 9: can't really see New Zealand being picked out. So let's 257 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 9: just let's just keep our fingers crossed. 258 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: Execurators, when you have an excess and when you have 259 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: an imbalance, that's when you get picked upon. And Katherin Beaird, 260 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 3: congratulations and I thank you for your time today, the 261 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 3: advocacy director for Export New Zealand.

Five twenty 266 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 3: four the early. 267 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: Edition full show podcast on Radio Power It by News 268 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: Talks at me. 269 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 3: News Talks There be good morning to thank you for 270 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: choosing us. I'm Andrew Dickens and for Ryan who's doing 271 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: the drive show. It's five twenty six. We are at 272 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 3: the end of the week. In the word of the 273 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 3: week obviously was privatization, and it became a debate because 274 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: David Seymour said we should do it now, and that 275 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 3: was in his State of the Nation's speech on Monday, 276 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: So obviously the media asked the Prime Minister what he 277 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: thinks of the junior coalition partner's thoughts, and when asked, 278 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: Christopher Luxen vacillated, he gave the cautious political answer he 279 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: was trying not to upset anyone. He would said something like, oh, 280 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 3: it's something we might look at, but not without a mandate, 281 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: so we might campaign on it in two years time, 282 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 3: so it won't happen for two years or maybe even more. 283 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: So don't worry about it right now. Don't worry, we're 284 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 3: all and his answers were so convoluted that obviously the 285 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: media asked even more questions and then of course people said, 286 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 3: bloody media trying to stir up trouble with their leftist bias. 287 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 3: But it was the Prime minister's fault for fath and 288 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: about trying not to upset, said anyone, and more specifically 289 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 3: the center left and all the nationalists who hate the 290 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: idea of privatization. So in all his fair thing I 291 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 3: don't think it worked. Why couldn't he just say good idea, 292 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 3: we agree next time next and walk on because we 293 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: all know he agrees with the idea. We all know 294 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: the National Party agrees with the idea, ACT agrees with 295 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 3: the idea, and we all know his supporters agree with 296 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: the idea. But he didn't. Some think that's good politics. 297 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 3: I don't. I vote for ideas, not people who say maybe, 298 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: because I have to say, Christopher Luxon is just like 299 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: every other politician. Their values blow in whichever win they 300 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: think the electorate is blowing. Politicians who don't just say yes, 301 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: They don't just say no, They say maybe, which frankly 302 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 3: is worse than both of the others. They all do it. 303 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 3: I mean, if you doubt me, why don't you go 304 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 3: along and talk to Chris Hipkins about capital gains tax 305 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 3: and watch the tap dance that happens after that. 306 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens, five twenty eight. 307 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: I have revealed it at the top of the program 308 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 3: that I have four shnad O'Connor albums, because I was 309 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 3: talking about Shannada Connor's will and I've had a text 310 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: through this said Shnado Conna four albums.

If it 343 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: was your first week back at work, you almost made it, 344 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: but you've still got to work hard for another day. 345 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 3: After my comments about Christopher Luxon's attitudes to privatization over 346 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 3: the course of the week, I've got a couple of texts. 347 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: First Texas from Ben Ben says, exactly, Andrew, you nailed it. 348 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 3: He is just another politician with the same old crap. 349 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 3: Nothing will change with Chris in there. But here's another 350 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: opinion from Joanne says, Andrew Luxen's not Trump. He doesn't 351 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: make policy on the hoof, as frustrating as you may 352 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: find that there is a process for policy development, and 353 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 3: I agree with both those statements. It is now twenty 354 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 3: three to six. Now on the Woke banks. This is 355 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 3: your latest outrage of the day. The Herald reports a 356 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: coal mining firm has been told by the bn Z 357 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: that the bank would be slowly withdrawing its services, which 358 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 3: would force those coal miners to have to move to 359 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: another bank. Their crime mining coal. The bank has determined 360 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 3: to end all financing of coal mining by the end 361 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: of the year. They say they've been upfront about it, 362 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: and that there's twenty seven other banks and numerous other 363 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 3: non bank lenders that a coal miner could use, so 364 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 3: bugger off. Well, of course, yesterday Shane Jones got volcanically 365 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 3: furious all over again for the second time this week, 366 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 3: and once again it's promising to take on the Ossie 367 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 3: banks and they're moralizing. 368 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 4: Now. 369 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 3: Look, I could see the B and z's view if 370 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: coal was extraneous to our economy, but it's not. We 371 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 3: need coal to make up the shortfall and our electricity production, 372 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: as we found out last winter. We need coal in 373 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 3: our milk industry, We need coal all over the place. 374 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 3: Coal is not redundant yet. If it was, if we 375 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 3: developed a new energy source, that meant that coal was 376 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 3: unnecessary and the burning of coal was actually just a dirty, 377 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 3: little cost cutter. Then we could aid its path to 378 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 3: go the way of the dinosaurs. But that's not what's 379 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 3: happening right now. That's our energy problem. No new dams, 380 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 3: no lake onslow insurance policy, some wind and geo thermal 381 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 3: that that will well, I can tell you will not 382 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: make up the shortfall. We need coal and until someone 383 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: finds the long awaited alternative, then coal is here to stay. 384 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, bean Zed, and I wonder. I wonder if 385 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 3: the banks are still prepared to lend to their big 386 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 3: clients who criss crossed the world in private jets or 387 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 3: is their moral judgment selective. Seconds around the country we 388 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 3: go Callum Proctor, Hello. 389 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 11: I'm morning Andrew. 390 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 3: We should do this with him quietly, shouldn't we?

A further eight hostages 505 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,239 Speaker 14: were released, three of them were Israelis, five of them 506 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 14: were Thai agricultural workers who were also taken back on 507 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 14: October seventh, twenty twenty three. But there have been these 508 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 14: scenes once again where huge numbers of Hamas fighters have 509 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 14: come out and they've been filming the releases using drones 510 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 14: and everything. But there have been huge crowds, so much 511 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 14: so that two of the Israelis whilst they were being released, 512 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 14: looked to be being swarmed and crushed by these sort 513 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 14: of dozens and dozens of people. It's angered the Israeli 514 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 14: government so much that Benjaminettannia, who has warned that this 515 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 14: cannot happen again, in fact, pause of some Palestinians, that 516 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 14: some one hundred and ten Palestinians being released from prisoners 517 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 14: for several hours because he was so annoyed at the 518 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 14: pictures that were coming out, the sort of you know, 519 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 14: it's quite traumatic for these people that have been hidden 520 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 14: away in tunnels for many months to suddenly be in 521 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 14: daylight for the first time again and just absolutely surrounded 522 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 14: by people. So some ugly scenes there, but at least 523 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 14: they are now home in Israel being looked after, and 524 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 14: those Thai workers as well are being treated before they'll 525 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 14: get to go home finally to Thailand. 526 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 3: Well, meanwhile, let's talk about refugees and people escaping from 527 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: the country. The United Kingdom wants to stop small boat 528 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: crossings with a new criminal offence, So how are they 529 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 3: going to do this? 530 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. 531 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 14: We hit a record last year of small boat crossings 532 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 14: from the north of France across the Channel's highly dangerous 533 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 14: route which people smugglers in the past of five six 534 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 14: years have just cottoned onto. And now we're getting tens 535 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 14: of thousands this way each year. The government has said 536 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 14: it was going to set up the new laid government 537 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 14: set up, it was going to have a new sort 538 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 14: of command to try and tackle this. But they've also 539 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 14: now announced that they're going to bring in a new 540 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 14: criminal offense of up to five years in jail for 541 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 14: endangering lives at sea. The Channel is the busiest shipping 542 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 14: lane in the entire world. Every day there are these 543 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 14: huge tankers going back and forth there and we've seen 544 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 14: several incidents where people have died making this crossing. So 545 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 14: they're trying to make it even tougher. But it seems 546 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 14: that the real sort of problem they've got is trying 547 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 14: to stop the gangs on the other side and trying 548 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 14: to get France to cooperate to stop the launchers, which 549 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 14: is proving pretty tricky. 550 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 3: So making a new criminal efint of endangering lives at sea, 551 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 3: will it really with a five year jail to it, 552 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 3: will it really make a difference. I mean they're doing 553 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: it anyway, Yeah. 554 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 14: I mean they are doing it. It's sort of more 555 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 14: the French side that you think where the problems are. 556 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 14: Because the UK gives France millions of pounds for sort 557 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 14: of funding the police. Essentially in France to patrol these 558 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 14: sort of coastlines, which are of course vast, but there 559 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 14: are certain hotspots where these boats launched from. And France, 560 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 14: of course, you've always been the suspicion that actually they're 561 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 14: sort of not that bothered about these people going off, 562 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 14: even though it is highly dangerous for them. 563 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, the old maximum cut it off at the source 564 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 3: of Vincent Macavelli from Europe. I thank you so much 565 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: for your time. It is now eleven to. 566 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: Six Andrew dickens. 567 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 3: So Children's Minister Cantour has reversed an ol Tamariki decision 568 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 3: to pull funding from the Bernardo's helpline, and this comes 569 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: after ol ang A Tamariki providers were given very little 570 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 3: notice that their funding would end, which resulted in much 571 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 3: tears approaches by the way that the Auditor General is 572 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 3: looking into. The Minister has told Old Tamariki to pause 573 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 3: its review of funding and extend existing contracts with providers 574 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 3: until the end of the year. So Bernardo's chief executive 575 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 3: Matt Reed joins me, Now, good morning to you, Matte. 576 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 15: Good morning injury. 577 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 3: So a reprieve, but you'd probably argue you shouldn't have 578 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 3: ever been in danger Anyway. 579 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 15: Oh, Andrew, it's been a really difficult process with Orro 580 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 15: and Tamriki, but I understand their focus on their corresponsibilities. 581 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 15: They've got the hardest job to do, arguably doing the 582 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 15: most important work, so they've you know, there's been a 583 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 15: fiscal squeeze and I've had some tough decisions to make, 584 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 15: so I do understand. 585 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 3: Okay, how are you told about the funding decision being reversed? 586 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 15: So I've got an email from the Minister's office yesterday morning. 587 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 15: Obviously we were delighted. I eight hundred. What's up as 588 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 15: a really important service for five to nineteen year olds 589 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 15: doing professional counseling for young ones when they need instant 590 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 15: support and advice? 591 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 4: Okay? 592 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 3: And what's it like trying to get a contract from 593 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 3: Olang and Tamariki? How torturous is it or not? 594 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 15: I Andrew, Again, it's been a difficult process around contracting, 595 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 15: but again I understand the context. They have a difficult 596 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 15: job there, but there's only so much money and they 597 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 15: are focusing rightfully on care and protection, which is you know, 598 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 15: young people in care and FINO young people close to cares. 599 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 15: So I do understand, and I think the greater challenge. 600 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 15: Here is a whole of government challenge around how these 601 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 15: other services, particularly prevention early intervention services get funded again. 602 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 3: Fix it at the source and you don't get bigger 603 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 3: problems down further down the track. So you've got funding 604 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 3: for a year and then the course is up in 605 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 3: the air again. So what can you do with that? 606 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 15: Well, I think we need to understand a bit more 607 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 15: detail about the announcement yesterday. My reading of it is 608 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 15: that the funding form walks Up will continue beyond this year, 609 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 15: which we're delighted about. For Bernardo's Eartce. We have to 610 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 15: raise the other half of the cost of the service 611 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 15: ourselves through incredible partners like Milford Foundation in OfficeMax and 612 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 15: amazing New Zealanders and so that call to action is 613 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 15: still there from Bernardo's. We still need support to keep 614 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 15: this really important service going. Obviously the government decision yesterday 615 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:00,959 Speaker 15: has been hugely helpful. 616 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 3: This community help and altruism is a good thing. So 617 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 3: if someone listening to this wants to give you some 618 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 3: money to do the WhatsApp thing, how could they do that? 619 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: Oh? 620 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 15: Please look at it.

So how are we going about getting some 635 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 3: alternatives so that the banks could have a right to 636 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 3: punish coal? Well, apparently New Zealand's largest solar farm will 637 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 3: start construction later this year. Here it's a UK based 638 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 3: energy developer and a company called First Renewables and they're 639 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 3: building it near to Adaha.

You got to understand, first 650 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 16: of all, the ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. 651 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 16: Second of all, you can run sheep under them, so 652 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 16: you can still run the land while doing the solar 653 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 16: So there's something in that. But the bank thing this morning, 654 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 16: what I think Shane Jones is giving a speech today 655 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 16: about this, and it seems have you you've seen the letter. 656 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 16: Look at the letter and they're right. The mind don't 657 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 16: want to be named, but they've written to them and said, 658 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 16: so here's the structure of how it's going to work. 659 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 16: We're going to cut your credit cards off and then 660 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 16: we're going to stop you borrowing money. It's not it's 661 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 16: not like you know we we kind of are keen 662 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 16: on the and so let's have a discussion it's just 663 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 16: like this stops now. 664 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: It's water drip torture. 665 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 16: Slowly, it screws up a business of allaty of all 666 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 16: the things we've discussed this week, about asset sales which 667 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 16: aren't happening, in school lunches, which arrive late, all the 668 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 16: frippery that we seem to obsess ourselves within this country. 669 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: This is a real story. 670 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 16: This is this is a this is one business looking 671 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 16: to destroy another legitimate business, and somehow that's legal in 672 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 16: this country. And so you've now got a minister who 673 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 16: has to allegedly seemingly pass some law to prevent you 674 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 16: from behaving that way. And you wonder why we've got 675 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 16: no growth and no productivity. I mean, what do you 676 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 16: do anyway?
