1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Digging through the spin spins to find the real story. 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: Or it's Ryan Bridge on Heather duper c Allen Drive 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: with One New Zealand let's get connected news talks. 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: They'd be good afternoon. Coming up on the show after five, 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 2: Chris Bishop from the investment summit in Auckland. The Ministry 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 2: of Health says one thing on Bell cancer, but we've 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 2: got doctors on the show today who are going to 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 2: say another. So who's right? Who do we listen to? 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: Nick Smith on the polling boosts our PPP's actually cheaper 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: for us in the long run. We'll ask that question. 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: Jordan Williams and Rob Campbell on the Huddle today. Brig, 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 2: good to have your company. So far, so good for 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: the investment summit. Of course, the real proof of this 14 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: is going to be in the pudding and the pudding 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: and the eating, and that's not going to happen for years, 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: maybe even decades for some of these big projects. But 17 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: for the here and now, the question is did they 18 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: pull off this thing reasonably well enough to be considered 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: a success, And so far you'd be hard to argue 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: that they haven't. You've got all the suits there controlling 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: six trillion bucks in the room. You've got Ewie money, 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: You've got projects, You've got PPPs on the table. What 23 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: is not to like from this? There's an Aussie fund 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: that's already said it wants to bid for some of 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: the action. Luxeon's speech, if you saw it this morning, 26 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: hit all the right notes. You spoke about the tension 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: and the volatility in the world, the global strife, as 28 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: he put it. He says, that's what makes us appealing. 29 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: Where are we safe haven? A we bolt hole at 30 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: the bottom of the earth. Come take shelter from the 31 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: global storm, said Luxon in the room. The investors themselves 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 2: were apparently quite impressed. We are told the Overseas Investment 33 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: Act changes. They like those. The fast Track Bill is 34 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: a big hit. As you can imagine. Any hint of 35 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: delays and hold ups in some pesky planning laws from 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: a Pacific island at the bottom of the world is 37 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: not exactly sexy to these guys. They're asking questions about 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: the pipeline of work, not just the PPPs the that 39 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: the government's got on the chopping block now, but the 40 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: ones after that and for decades ahead, because who wants 41 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: to set up shop bring in all the laborers, bring 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: in all the machinery, get the ball rolling, and then 43 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 2: run out of work nobody, Which is why you don't 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: want the next government, whoever that might be coming in 45 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: and raiding the deregulation. Goodie bag that this lot have 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 2: just been handed out of the summit on that. Barbara 47 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: Edmund speaks tomorrow from Labour, So watch this space on 48 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 2: the whole. Though so far so good, you could say 49 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: so far so boring, but that may not necessarily be 50 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: a bad thing. Steady, predictable, easy going. They good qualities 51 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: in a foreign investment partner. If you're looking though here 52 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: for quick wins, big announcements from the summit, it's clear 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: that you've come to the wrong place, Ryan Bridge. At 54 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: the very least, I suppose it'll send a message that 55 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 2: we're open for business. Nine minutes after four here on 56 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: news Talk, said b law firms and the government are 57 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: scrambling this after an unexpected ruling by the High Court 58 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: in Wellington in question a permit that the NZTA had 59 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 2: got to inadvertently kill bats and keiweed during the build 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: of the Mount Messenger bypass. The court ruled that permit 61 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: was unlawful. In simple terms, nothing can be killed unless 62 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: it is diseased or there is over population, but that 63 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 2: will likely impact developers and everything from minds to roads, 64 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of stuff. Now, Sally McKinney is with 65 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 2: Simpson Greers and she's a partner, and she's had to 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: break it down for us. Good afternoon, Good afternoon, right, Sally. 67 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: How many projects could this potentially affect? 68 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: We don't know exactly because there's no public list of 69 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: companies or entities that hold these permits. But if you're 70 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: a commercial or industrial infrastructure builder or developer with a 71 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: big footprint, particularly if you've got vegetation clearance, it's very 72 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 3: likely you've had to get a wildlife permit or you've 73 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 3: got one you're applying for at the moment with doc 74 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: very wide. 75 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: So they're not going out and shooting key we are there. 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just if you're clearing vegetation, some might 77 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 2: die in the process. 78 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 4: Is that it? 79 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 5: That's most of the permits. 80 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: Yes, it's for situations where you might inadvertently kill something, 81 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 3: so you do your best to clear an area, but 82 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 3: your experts tell you that even if you use exhaustive efforts, 83 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: there will be some lizards. For example, left behind, and 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: some may be killed when you then move the rocks 85 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: or move the earth or dig the whole right, So no, 86 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: one's very few of these are to do it on purpose. 87 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 5: Some of them are, but very few. 88 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 3: These ones are much more inadvertent by catch, if you will, 89 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 3: of development. 90 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: Okay, is this a big deal? I mean, does this 91 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: mean that you know all the current permits might be invalid. 92 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: For the permits where these commercial questions. Yes, there's real 93 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: uncertainty about that. It's a case by case basis rhyme, 94 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 3: so it will depend on the given permit. But we've 95 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: got clients, we know, we've got colleague firms around town 96 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 3: who have clients trying to work exactly that out now. 97 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: Because this covers more than just native species. There's nine 98 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 3: hundred native species. This covers four hundred birds, three species, 99 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: that's one hundred and thirty something reptiles, a whole lot. 100 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 5: Of introduced species. So wildlife is not just protected wildlife. 101 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: It's any wildlife in New Zealand that basically isn't feral 102 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 3: or that you would usually think you could hunt. It's 103 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: a really broad description of what wildlife is. 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: It sounds like a bit of a mess. Does what 105 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 2: happen needs to happen. Does the government need to come 106 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: in and regulate here or change the law in some way? 107 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 5: Yes, I think they do Ryan twenty nineteen. 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: There was a big decision from the Supreme Court which 109 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 3: started this problem, and at that point they probably should 110 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 3: have changed the law. Then Doc's been trying to work 111 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: around it, and that work around on Monday, that door 112 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: got closed. So the only practical work around for developers 113 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: who don't want to kill but no they might and 114 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: are being responsible and getting a permit, they can't get 115 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: those kind of permits now, and so they can't. 116 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 5: Do those works. 117 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: So does that mean stuff's actually on hold? 118 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 5: Certainly that is a real possibility. 119 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: If you're currently getting if you currently have a works permit, 120 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 3: a construction permit to undertake land clearance, you would be 121 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 3: looking very hard at whether or not you could do 122 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: that lawfully. 123 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: At the moment, that's not a great look when we're 124 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: trying to get all these overseas investors to come here 125 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 2: and do their digging, is it? 126 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: The timing is very unfortunate. I mean this hearing was 127 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 3: in September. The government wouldn't have known the judgment was 128 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: coming out this week. They can't influence that. But yes, 129 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: it came out on Monday. I mean the government didn't 130 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: want this. The Department of Conservation have been quite pragmatically 131 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: coming up with a workaround. 132 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 5: But the courts now said that's not allowed under this law. 133 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: And so if the government wants that pragmatic process to continue, 134 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: then they're going to need to change the law. 135 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: Okay. Interesting, Sally, thank you very much for that. That's 136 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: Sally mckickney. She's a partner at Simpson Greerson. Just gone 137 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: thirteen minutes after here on News Talk SEVB. Before we 138 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 2: get to Darcy, I'm looking at a picture right now, 139 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: photo of the Fijian Prime Minister. This is Rambooka. He's 140 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: sitting back in a leather chair looking quite comfortable, thank 141 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 2: you very much, wearing a lovely suit, a three piece suit, 142 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 2: and there's a Fijian flag behind him. He's got his 143 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: head to sorry, his hand up to his chin, and 144 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: just popping out of the top of his suit arm 145 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: is a gold watch. Now it turns out this gold 146 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: watch is a Rolex. Turns out this gold watch, this 147 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 2: Rolex is worth one hundred and thirteen thousand New Zealand 148 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: dollars and the question is where the hell did he 149 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: get that from. The opposition is wondering the same thing. 150 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: A former Prime minister is wondering the same thing, and 151 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: Rambuka himself he's refusing to answer any questions about it. Now. Interestingly, 152 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: he recently pardoned. This is according to local media, he 153 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: pardoned a very wealthy businessman facing criminal charges. The irony 154 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: in this story, I mean, who knows, maybe he bought 155 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: it himself. But the irony in the story is that 156 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: next week he's tabling a bill in the Parliament and 157 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: the title of the bill is Code of Conduct. 158 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: It's the Heather d Pussy Allen Drive Full Show podcast 159 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio powered by News TALKSB. 160 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: News TALKSB. It's seventeen minutes after four. That means Darcy's 161 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: here with Sport. Hey Darcy, Hello, Ryan Boden Barrett. He's 162 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: going to be back from injury. Actually a little sooner than. 163 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 6: We thoughts, well, no one actually knows. Then Cotta seems 164 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 6: to think, maybe, you know, three to four weeks after 165 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 6: therebye he might be back, and then Meadows said, oh, 166 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 6: probably four or six weeks, so somewhere in between, So 167 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 6: between three to six weeks he might magically heal his hands. 168 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 6: It's happened before, happens quicker. But I don't think we 169 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 6: should be so freaked out about that. Okay, because Stephen 170 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 6: Pierrefeta is back now after some injury, and of course 171 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 6: we've got Harry Plummer who managed to steer the Blues 172 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 6: to that title last year. So it's not like they're 173 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 6: without pivots. They've got guys to play the role. No 174 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 6: one like Bowden Barrett, who's it's a freak show, but 175 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 6: he's also Boden Barrett coming toward the end of his career, 176 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 6: where Stephen pelfea Harry plummel that he's running off to France. 177 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 6: These are guys are on the app so I don't 178 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 6: think it's necessary.

Somebody who's actually texted to say, I 255 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: remember when you opened the show last week on that 256 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: Deloitte health report. Where is all the media coverage of 257 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: it on TVNZ and stuff. I can't answer for them, 258 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: but we definitely covered it here on the program last 259 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: Friday and it was basically, I mean, it was shocking 260 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: to read a lot of it. How do you go 261 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: from such a massive surplus to such a massive loss? 262 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: Pretty much overnight didn't know whether they were Arthur or Martha. 263 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: They said they had five hundred million dollars in savings 264 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: that they're going to make, but they had no plan, 265 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: They had no follow up. Remember this, They had no 266 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: and didn't save anything as a result because there was 267 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: no plan to actually do it. They just said they 268 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: would and then that was it. Well, today Newsroom has 269 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: reported on one of Lester Levy.

So this is a 273 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: former PwC partner, Brent gold Sack. So Goldsack comes into 274 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 2: a meeting a number of sources have recounted that Goldsack 275 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: told a finance meeting that despite hundreds of accountants at 276 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 2: the organization, quote, I could cut my effing thumbs and 277 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: fingers off and still have too many fingers to count 278 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: the number of people on this call that can do 279 00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: accounting brutal.

Now, this, if true, totally out 283 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: of line for the public service. You cannot condone that behavior, 284 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: can you? You can't. But if you read that report 285 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: last Friday, the waste, the missed opportunities, if you've been 286 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: waiting years for an operation, if your grandma has been 287 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: waiting years for an operation. You know, if you're being honest, 288 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: isn't there just even a small part of you that 289 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: smiled when you heard that? Just a little bit? I think, 290 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: if you're being honest, there is twenty six after four. 291 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: Now some good news this afternoon. We've got tourism numbers 292 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: out for January.

Now the visitor levy came in 299 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: in October last year that went from thirty four increased 300 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: from thirty five dollars to one hundred dollars, so it 301 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: doesn't really seem to be shaking them too much, shaking 302 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: their confidence in our shaky aisles, which is great news. 303 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: So hopefully that keeps climbing.

It 340 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: was an eight day mission that I've now been out 341 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: there nine months, no saying at this point when the 342 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 2: mission will actually go ahead. Finally this afternoon, trying to 343 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 2: figure out what that is. A Swiss politician has been 344 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 2: fined twelve thousand New Zealand dollars for ordering a couple 345 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: of water pistols off Timu. Prosecutors argue that the politician 346 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: broke weapons laws as the bright pink water pistols could 347 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 2: be mistaken for real firearms. Politician has paid. 348 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: The time International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace 349 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: of mind for New Zealand business. 350 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 2: Mary old Is Australia correspondent Marry good afternoon. 351 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 9: Hey are Ryan, Good afternoon. 352 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 2: Good to heavy here now. Wispec's boss has said, stop 353 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: the winding about these tariffs. 354 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely, you know, and there's a caveat on that. 355 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 9: Don't forget that there may be more tariffs and posed 356 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 9: on Australia and other countries in the next few weeks ahead. 357 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 9: But when you look at what has happened to Australia 358 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 9: and just in you know, we'll confine our remarks to Australia. 359 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 9: The twenty five percent tariff on Australian steel and aluminium 360 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 9: is negligible. Really, the two commodities together are worth around 361 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 9: one billion dollars last year in exports to America. Tital 362 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 9: exports from Australia six hundred and fifty billion. Now, the 363 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 9: United States only makes fifty percent of the steel that 364 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 9: needs every year, so it's going to get the balance 365 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 9: from somewhere. And guess what, all of a sudden, there's 366 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 9: twenty five percent more expensive for American manufacturers and consumers. 367 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 9: So not sure where where Trump's going with this. And 368 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 9: this is the context for a statement this morning in 369 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 9: Sydney the Westpac chief executive guy called Anthony Miller. He says, listen, listen, 370 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 9: don't start crying about Washington. Have I guess what's an 371 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 9: air doorstep? For example, Indonesia two hundred and eighty four 372 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 9: million people, just a stone thrower way. It's a drive 373 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 9: in a nine eye. He says, we should focus on 374 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 9: the Asia Pacific. Look at India one point four billion people, 375 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 9: a bloody sight closer than the United States. He said, listen, 376 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 9: don't bite back, and Anthony Aubanize already said we're not 377 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 9: going to. But it's very interesting that Miller said this 378 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 9: at the Institute of Finance event here in Sydney. He said, 379 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 9: have a look at agriculture and education, two supremely important 380 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 9: commodities for Asia. Agricultural goods and education. Australia already makes 381 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 9: about thirty five thirty six billion dollars a year from 382 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 9: hosting international students here. It's a huge export industry. Okay, 383 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 9: and Miller's also said Cole Iron a very important. But listen, 384 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 9: we've got to stop crying about Washington and pivot towards Asia. 385 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough point too. Now, Peter Dutton, he's denying 386 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 2: claims that this party's looking to knife him. What's that about, Well, 387 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: that's right. 388 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 9: I mean, in the context of the upcoming election, I'm 389 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 9: not surprised to see these stories as a phony election 390 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 9: campaign on right now, and I hear the opposition in 391 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 9: Canberra whining away about alban Easy, saying oh, we should 392 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 9: have we should have had a carve out especial for Australia. 393 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 9: It doesn't work that way, and the opposition knows that 394 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 9: it's just cheap politicking trying to make alban easy look hopeless. 395 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 9: Well the Dutton's apparently, according to some reports, he had, 396 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 9: notably in the Murdoch Press, Dunton's looking pretty hopeless. For 397 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 9: members of his own back bench, they say, listen, pal, 398 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 9: what are you doing? Where are the policies and what 399 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 9: about that half what you've got as a shadow treasurer. 400 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 9: I mean, please, honestly, it wouldn't feed that fella his 401 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 9: naher is now. But Dutton's hit back. He said, listen, 402 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 9: we're going to lease our policies and our own good time. 403 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 9: And you know, I'm expecting to see the bulk of 404 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 9: Dutton's Budget reply speech, which would be later this month. 405 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 9: The Bulka BET's going to be laying out some of 406 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 9: us wares for the election. But you know, the government's 407 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 9: really belting Dutton and he's the key focus for a 408 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 9: lot of the attacks from the government. For example, the 409 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 9: Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong says, listen, Dutton's just not 410 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 9: cut out to be Prime minister. You know, his colleague 411 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 9: are saying we don't know what Dutton stands for, never 412 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 9: real leadership. That's what I'll tell you. He's just not 413 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 9: cut out for the job. So the gloves are off. 414 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 9: It's on for young for one and all. And we 415 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 9: haven't even had the election campaign. 416 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 2: Don't even have a date yet. Yeah, let's talk about 417 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: this hideous woman who American apparently a hunting influencer. Have 418 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: you heard of a hunting what there was before any 419 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 2: were hunting? And no, no, what's she doing with? 420 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 9: Call me stupid, Ryan, I've never heard of it. 421 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: What's she doing with your one bets? 422 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 9: Well? Look, she's apparently wandering around the outback with Australian 423 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 9: fellow who's taking photographs of her interactive with Australian wildlife. She's, 424 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 9: as you say, a hunting influencer. She goes with the 425 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 9: name of Sam Strays Okay strays is and stray animals. 426 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: And here she is. 427 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 9: She's apparently here and this footage comes from last year. 428 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 9: We understand. She's shown in the footage catching a little 429 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 9: baby wombat on the side of the road during the night. 430 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 9: An Australian man is filming, laughing like a drain. She 431 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 9: runs across the road holding this little baby wombat up 432 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 9: in front of the camera, the little feet of dangling 433 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 9: in the asses, and the man says, look out, the 434 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 9: mum's chasing her look out look Out well please, and 435 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 9: she posts this on wherever the hell they post these things, 436 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 9: and about it's designed to influence people anyway. The penalties 437 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 9: for this up to a quarter million dollars if you 438 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 9: don't mind, you silly woman, and up to seven years 439 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 9: in jail. I mean, look to be fair, the wombat 440 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 9: wasn't hurt. Baby are reunited pretty quickly. But I mean, 441 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 9: for stupidity, it's a bit hard to think of anything 442 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 9: more stupid, really, isn't it. 443 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 8: Don't you think? 444 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 445 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: That is. 446 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: It's completely stupid. In fact, the only thing dumber than 447 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 2: doing it was putting it on social media. You'd have 448 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: to say, Mary, you go, thank you for that. Murray 449 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 2: Old's our Australia correspondent.

More coverage of 461 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 2: Just Sinda's children's book today. 462 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 7: Look, I saw that I've got a children's book of 463 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 7: Just Dorn at home. I refuse to read it. It's 464 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 7: so crappy. Little boy I read it. I read it 465 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 7: once to him and I thought, what does it mean? 466 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 2: It was just rubbish one that she's written, or one. 467 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 7: Fairness to her, it was about her life children, And 468 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 7: I thought somebody gave it to us as probably as 469 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 7: a joke. But we were doing this. And when I 470 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 7: saw the headline on another book today for kids, I thought, no. 471 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 2: No, well clear of My favorite book kid's book was 472 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 2: The Train That's Afraid of the Dark. Did you have 473 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: a favorite when you were growing up? 474 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 11: Oh? 475 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 7: Probably Donald Duck or something. 476 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 2: Hey, enough of that nonsense. He is this summit so 477 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: Lass basically turned salesman. 478 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 7: Oh, he most certainly has. And you know, the timing 479 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 7: of the summit actually couldn't be better when you consider 480 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 7: that the international trade war as well and truly underway 481 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 7: with Donald Trump. There's economic uncertainty throughout the world, and 482 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 7: we're sort of saying, look, we've got all this opportunity 483 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 7: in this country, so let's hope that projects come through 484 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 7: and these people start investing to that end. I see 485 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 7: you're going to be interviewing Chris Bishop Lader the Fast Track. 486 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 7: There were three projects announced today as part of the 487 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 7: Fast Track, and it's great. But what they're trying to 488 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 7: do is look at infrastructure this country, hospital, schools, pipes, roads, prisons, etc. 489 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 7: And getting some money into the country for those New 490 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 7: Zealand if you listen to the Prime Minister, it is 491 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 7: a safe shelter. That's what he told these people at 492 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 7: the summit today, and he said that when you look 493 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 7: at the tension. I thought his speech was actually pretty good. Yeah, 494 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,239 Speaker 7: when you look at the tension and the volatility and 495 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 7: strife in the world today, he thinks this country is 496 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 7: pretty special. And he said there was a lot to 497 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 7: crow about when it comes to this country. And he 498 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 7: cited the great innovators of New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford splitting 499 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 7: the atoms, going back a long way. But he also 500 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 7: mentioned Peter from a rocket lab and I remember I 501 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 7: met Peterbeck once on an in New Zealand inaugural flight 502 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 7: into Vancouver, and we were up in Whistler and I 503 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 7: was standing on a platform on a flying Fox with 504 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 7: this young bloke with a really strange hat on, and 505 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 7: I said to him, so what are you? And two 506 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 7: what are you on this mission? He saw him into rockets. 507 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 7: I thought, a rocket man. Off you go, so off 508 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 7: he went on the flying Fox. I just wish i'd 509 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 7: taken him more seriously. 510 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: Made a bit of money. But not just because of that, 511 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 2: but because he's from down your way. He's from Southland too, 512 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: so you would have had a great connecttion. Well, if i'd. 513 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 7: Realized that, I didn't realize at the time, Ryan, I 514 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 7: would have been all over him. But there you go. 515 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 2: And now Winston was all over golf. Golf's now coming home. 516 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 2: He's actually quite quickly too home this weekend. 517 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 11: Well, it's incredible. 518 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 7: And you think, and I saw golf when he was 519 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 7: home last time. I went to the British High Commission 520 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 7: ball in Wellington and ran into. 521 00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 2: Phil Gold showing off, I have not anything else. Do 522 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 2: you want to get off with the Queen? 523 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 10: Oh? 524 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 7: Yes, I've met the Queen several times. But no, but yeah, 525 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 7: where will we Gough? So the story that Gough told 526 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 7: me it wasn't very pleasant one. He said he came 527 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 7: back to his house here in Auckland and it had 528 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 7: been burgled and ransacked, so it wasn't a very pleasant 529 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 7: homecoming for him. Then this would be probably not as 530 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 7: bad as that. But when you're concerned, last week he 531 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 7: thought he had a job for a few more years 532 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 7: in London, made a silly remark in Old Winston said 533 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 7: times up mate. 534 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: Harsh punishment, but probably a necesss three one. Yeah, I 535 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 2: think so. Now Peters is continuing his war on woke. 536 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: What's the update today? Well, I love it. 537 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 7: Because you know, Winston's going out and saying that you 538 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 7: know this Tek Hunger lead that advertised the mystery Foreign 539 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 7: Affairs for one hundred and forty five to one hundred 540 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 7: and seventy grand a year, not a bad job to 541 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 7: basically sell the concept around customary practices and principles for 542 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 7: MALDI within the department. So not bad. But Peter's had 543 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 7: a look at this, said no, no, it's not going 544 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 7: to happen and canceled the ad and it was taken 545 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 7: offline today. But he's been taken to issue at himself, 546 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 7: basically because he essentially in his own parties constitution it 547 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 7: says that MPs should consider or should be considered if 548 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 7: they have different different genders, social group ages, ethnic groups, 549 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 7: and they should that's the sort of people they should 550 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 7: be looking at. Well, that's not work. I don't know 551 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 7: what is Labour's CRUs Hipkins He said that Peter's war 552 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 7: on Wokism should be actually seen for what it is. 553 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 13: Winston Peter's absolutely adores Donald Trump. He wants to be 554 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 13: just like him. He's a pay limitation, but he's giving 555 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 13: it a go. I think this is just typical saber 556 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 13: rattling by Winston Peters. The reality here is no one 557 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 13: is getting their job in the public service because solely 558 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 13: because of their agenda, or their identity or their ethnicity. 559 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 13: They're getting their job because they are the best person 560 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 13: for the job. 561 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 7: It's news to me because there is a lot of 562 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 7: bars within the public servers. 563 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: But it's so hard to prove that's the problem, isn't it. 564 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: How do you say, oh, that person's there because they're 565 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 2: missing a leg or whatever. 566 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's right. I don't know if the missing leg 567 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 7: is the right analogy or they've got three n't be 568 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 7: quite good? 569 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: Actually, thank you? Serious politics, isn't it very sober? And 570 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: News Talks Senior political correspondent. Coming up next, I'll tell 571 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 2: you the inflation numbers out from the US. Actually they 572 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: are better than expected. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily 573 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 2: time to pop up in the champagne and celebrate. I'll 574 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 2: tell you why. 575 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: Digging into the issues that have beg you. 576 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 2: The mic asking Breakfast, Welcome to. 577 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 14: The International Investment Day. I found it to what bewildering 578 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 14: on us say. It is not said that Gimmy Anderson 579 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 14: on the show yesterday said foreign investment wasn't the answer 580 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 14: to our problems, because actually it is. 581 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: The plan is to write the world. 582 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 15: Is washed with cash. 583 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 16: Absolutely so about a lot of opportunities. Right thing one 584 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 16: needs to compete. 585 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: We once had our act together. 586 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 14: Today and tomorrow hopefully is about restoring our rightful place 587 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 14: as progressive. Go yet back tomorrow at six am the 588 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 14: Mic hosking Breakfast with the rain Driver, the Laugh News 589 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 14: Talk ZB. 590 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 2: Great to have your company, just gone six minutes away 591 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: from five. Now after five o'clock, I'm gonna talk to 592 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: Chris Bishop. He's the Infrastructure Minister here is the man 593 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 2: in charge of the summit in Auckland. That everybody is 594 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: talking what most people are talking about, but we're also 595 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 2: going to hear from an investor about how they think 596 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 2: that the conference is going. You know, what's the chatter 597 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 2: and the room like amongst those have come over, particulars 598 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 2: who come from overseas. That's really what we want to know. 599 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 2: So we'll look at that and speak to Chris Bishop 600 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 2: after five o'clock. Now over and in the United States, 601 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: inflation obviously a number we want to watch very closely 602 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: because it dictates well a lot of their economy obviously 603 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: have an effect on the FED, and it's the world's 604 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 2: largest economy, so that has an effect on us. Now, 605 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: they've got their February inflation numbers out up two point 606 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: eight percent, which is down from three percent in January, 607 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 2: so that's good news. Markets were expecting two point nine, 608 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: so it's a bit surprising. On the upside, that is good. 609 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 2: Core inflation is up three point one percent. Now, that 610 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 2: is the lowest number year on year since twenty twenty one, 611 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 2: which is to say that all of this is good news, 612 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 2: but nobody's celebrating nobody's quite popping the champagne corks just yet. Why, Well, 613 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: it's the tariff monster, isn't it. Trump's tariff monster coming 614 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 2: to gobble up all of the gains. That is what 615 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: people are worried about. That is what the markets are 616 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 2: worried about. They opened with a breath of relief this 617 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: morning and then they pull back. So there you go. 618 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: That's inflation out of the US. Time is now five 619 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: away from five bridge. I find this story fascinating. You 620 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: know you to joke, well, did you joke that once 621 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: you got married you'd get fat? You know, you're skinny. 622 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: To your wedding day, you put your dress on, you 623 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 2: put your suit on, and you look good, and that 624 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 2: is about as good as you. That's the hottest you 625 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 2: will ever look. From there, it's a downhill slide into 626 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: obesity basically. Well, actually they've did this is Polish cardiologists. 627 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 2: They've looked at the data and they have found that 628 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 2: marriage triples the risk of obesity, but only in men, 629 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 2: not in women. So married men three point two times 630 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: more likely to be obese than unmarried men, which is interesting. 631 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 2: So I don't know why that is. I mean, obviously, 632 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: if you're if you're single, you need to be a bit. 633 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 2: You need to look after the way that you you 634 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 2: know your parents so that you might attract a mate 635 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 2: if that's what you're after. But also maybe just thinking 636 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 2: about what my relationships like at home, Not that you 637 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: care or want to know, but you know, sometimes you 638 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: can get fit a lot of food, you know, And 639 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 2: I just wonder, I just wonder whether that might have 640 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: something to do with these numbers.

This is about a long term pipeline. 666 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 19: I mean one tangible commitment we've already had today from 667 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 19: Plenary Group for its They've promised to set up in 668 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 19: New Zealand office here and they promised to bid on 669 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 19: the next five PPP opportunities that come up. So that 670 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 19: is actually a commitment they've just made, I think in 671 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 19: the last twenty four hours on the basis of what 672 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 19: they've heard it the summer and then the lead up 673 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 19: to it. 674 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,840 Speaker 2: So that's good, That is good. The bipartisan thing obviously 675 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: very important. You've got Barbara Edmund speaking tomorrow. How I mean, 676 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 2: do you have an agreement that whatever you decide while 677 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 2: you're in government, they'll stick to because that's really what 678 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 2: these guys want to know. 679 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 19: Yeah, that's been a constant theme of today is hearing 680 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 19: from the delegates. They like the fact that you've got 681 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 19: national and labor in the room, being mature, grown up 682 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 19: adults agreeing on working on a pipeline and also the 683 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 19: funding model. So Barbara Edmunds wrote a forward to the 684 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 19: PPP document that we released as a government. That is 685 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 19: really important, and I'm working with her on the thirty 686 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 19: year Plan for Infrastructure in New Zealand and I actively 687 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 19: want to involve the opposition in that. And I think 688 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 19: the reality is we need as a country to do 689 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 19: that right because these guys long term certainty, they want 690 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 19: to invest in New Zealand. They need to understand that 691 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 19: their investments are safe and secure and that there's also 692 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 19: a pipeline so that they can invest in human capital 693 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 19: and they can invest in the kit and the machinery. 694 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: So that is really important. 695 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 19: Frankly, if we're honest about it, we haven't been very 696 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 19: good at that as a country. Governments come and go 697 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 19: on the project, come and go. Let's get mature about it. 698 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 19: Let's be adults in the room and build for New Zealand. 699 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 2: All right, Chris Bishop, thanks so much for your time. 700 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 2: That's the Infrastructure Minister, Chris Bishop in Auckland nine minutes 701 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 2: after five. Ryan, So we brought you this story last 702 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 2: week of the bow screening program. The government has moved 703 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 2: to lower the age for everybody from sixty down to 704 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: fifty eight. Now that has meant that they have cut 705 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 2: a program that was lowering the age from sixty down 706 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 2: to fifty for two particular ethnic groups, for Marty and Pacifica. Now, 707 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 2: last week I asked the Health Minister whether Mardy and 708 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 2: Pacifica are more predisposed to getting bowel cancer at a 709 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 2: younger age. This is what he said. 710 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 20: No, the advice is that bow cancer risk is similar 711 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 20: across all population groups at the same age. So that 712 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 20: that's the evenize that we've presented by the Ministry of Health. 713 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 2: So listening to that with some doctors who thought there 714 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 2: was something wrong. Matt Wheeler is with the Royal Australasian 715 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 2: College of Physicians. Matt, Hello kid, how are you? Kelber 716 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 2: Gi Calder? Thanks for being with me. Is that true? 717 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 4: From what I have seen? And I think the caveat 718 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,280 Speaker 4: here is that I'm a hematologist I'm not an on collegist, 719 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 4: but I'm also a general physician and so do work 720 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 4: quite significantly in diagnosing cancers. But from what I can 721 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 4: see from the experts, and this includes groups from the 722 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 4: University of Otago, Hey, Yahood, and Malway, that's not true 723 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 4: that the actual peak age of diagnosis of bow cancers 724 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 4: is earlier in Mary than non Marty. And that was 725 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 4: why the original screening program had bow screening down to 726 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 4: the age of fifty for Marty and Pacifica, yet had 727 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 4: the screening age stop its down to sixty for non 728 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 4: Marti populations. Because of that difference in an age of 729 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:16,959 Speaker 4: diagnosis and and the proportion of young diagnosises of bowel cancer. 730 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 2: What you're saying is quite significant then, because basically you're 731 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 2: saying the Ministry of Health is wrong when they say 732 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 2: that bowel cancer risk is similar. Doesn't matter what color 733 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 2: you are. 734 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred and and there's a there's plenty of 735 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,959 Speaker 4: publications and groups that have previously said it. There's even 736 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 4: a specific report that was produced by the Marty Doctors 737 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 4: Association called the Order that specifically said that that firsty 738 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 4: processible bowel cancers were diagnosed in Marty under the age 739 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 4: of sixty, and there's there's some quite significant graphs out 740 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 4: there that show the peak age and incidents is different 741 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 4: from but it's non marty. 742 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 2: So so when because the minister says that this will 743 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 2: save an additional one hundred and seventy six lives over 744 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,319 Speaker 2: twenty five years, you guys have put out a press 745 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 2: release today saying that this will cause more deaths. So 746 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 2: you can't both be right. So for anyone listening at home, 747 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a bit of a stale mate, 748 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 2: isn't it. 749 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 4: Well, it's all about how you crunch the numbers. So 750 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 4: if you if you look at the number of additional 751 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 4: deaths that would prevented over twenty five years for the 752 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 4: lowered age, which is down to fifty, you were actually 753 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 4: getting three hundred and ninety deaths that you would prevent 754 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 4: over twenty five years. That's three hundred and ninety people. 755 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 4: That's three hundred ninety five Noh, that would lose a 756 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 4: loved one. By changing the age for everyone down to 757 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 4: fifty eight, you prevent five hundred and sixty six deaths. Now, 758 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 4: that's simply because the non multi population, including the mighty population. 759 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 4: By shifting that down to fifty eight is just sheer greater. 760 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 4: So they're talking the whole numbers. But isn't that the 761 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 4: point of a difference. 762 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 2: A public health system should try and do the greatest 763 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 2: good for the greatest number of people, should it not. 764 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 2: I mean, if you if you've got limited money and 765 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 2: you can save an additional one hundred and seventy six lives, 766 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 2: shouldn't you go with that option? Otherwise you I mean, 767 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 2: you're saying you would kill more. 768 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 4: Well, the answer then is why aren't you doing both? 769 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 4: Because what you're what this isn't what we're not talking 770 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 4: here limited standardization. So if you're well, but they've said 771 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 4: that there's money, and they've said they've said there's money 772 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,359 Speaker 4: time and again when when the need is required and 773 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 4: so when this is the difference between equality and equity, 774 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,879 Speaker 4: and equality is about trying to do the most good 775 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 4: for the most number of people. But that doesn't account 776 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 4: for the fact that some people get diagnosed with cancers 777 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 4: ten years earlier than others. And so what we do 778 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 4: in health as we quite often we talk about quality 779 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 4: adjusted life years, and that's talking about if you've got 780 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 4: an age standardized rate where you're diagnosed with things at 781 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 4: a younger age that that actually for the amount of 782 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 4: money that you're you're getting. 783 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: I get that. But that's that's the other point that 784 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,240 Speaker 2: we're still debating right now, isn't it. Because the Ministry 785 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 2: of Health has said one thing about that particular issue, 786 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 2: and you've got your telling me today another. So we 787 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 2: need to go ask the Ministry of Health what the 788 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 2: hell is going on. 789 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 4: So one of the things that we said in our 790 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 4: statement is show as you're working, where is your where 791 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 4: is your evidence? Because we can cite studies that are 792 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 4: published in the medical literature that back up what I'm 793 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 4: necessarily saying, and as I said, from groups from the 794 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 4: University of Otarget. 795 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 2: We'll areome so well awesome, weill awesome because because we 796 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 2: have to leave it here, but we will. We will 797 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,719 Speaker 2: ask the Ministry of Health to tell us exactly how 798 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 2: they figured that out, appreciate it. 799 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 4: And I think that's the question that we're necessarily asking 800 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 4: because if the advice is wrong, where where the where 801 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 4: the College of Fish deal with this, that are here 802 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 4: to help as in how is needed? 803 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 2: All right, Matt, thanks for your time. Matt Wheeler, Royal 804 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 2: Australasian College of Physicians now we have reached out to 805 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 2: the Ministry of Health. We've asked them to tell us 806 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 2: to basically show us you're working. How did you come 807 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: to that conclusion? So we'll keep you updated on what 808 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 2: they have to say. Just gone quarter past five here 809 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 2: on News Talk, sirb has anyone watched Maths Married at 810 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,440 Speaker 2: First Sight in Australia? The New Zella one was rubbish, 811 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 2: but the Australian one is apparently quite good. I haven't 812 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,359 Speaker 2: been watching this season. Apparently it's gone pretty hectic over 813 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,879 Speaker 2: in Australia. People like guys punching walls. We reached out 814 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 2: to one of the participants on this show today to 815 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 2: have a chat to them, and they emailed our producer 816 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 2: back saying, actually I can't talk to you because I'm 817 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 2: I'm with the police and they're protecting me from my 818 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 2: TV husband. So things that have really taken a corner. Anyway, 819 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 2: We've got a critic on the show to talk about 820 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,720 Speaker 2: this next it is five eighteen News Talks heirb Ryan. 821 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 2: I had bowl cancer at fifty. I'm a New Zealand European, 822 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 2: so screening for all should start at fifty, says Neil. Yes, 823 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 2: I agree. In theory you would have screening for all 824 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 2: starting at fifty, but that's very, very expensive, which is 825 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,720 Speaker 2: why it hasn't been done. So then you start talking 826 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 2: about what are the priorities, and surely the health system 827 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 2: would be about the greatest good for the greatest number. 828 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 2: Maybe not nine two ninety two, it's nineteen after five. 829 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: Nick Smith on local government voting after five point thirty two? 830 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 2: Right now? Has reality TV gone too far? This is 831 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 2: Married at First Sight in Australia. It's always been a 832 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 2: controversial show, but now there's an uproar because the equivalent 833 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 2: over there of Work Safe is investigating Channel nine, and 834 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 2: that's the production company that makes Maths, raising questions about 835 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 2: its future. It's all after an episode where a groom 836 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 2: punches of wall and frustration. Entertainment report Carl Pushman is 837 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 2: with us Carl good evening, No, right, how are you good? 838 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 2: Thank you? So the debate here is apparently they're hiring 839 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 2: casting people with domestic violence issues, right, and some people say, 840 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 2: well that's bad, But then isn't this reality TV? I mean, 841 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 2: isn't that what it should be? 842 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 21: Well, reality TV should be bad, that's what makes it 843 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 21: so good to watch. So entertaining to watch. Should you 844 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 21: be hiring people with domestic abuse violence in their past? 845 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 21: Probably not. You can still get you know, good bad 846 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 21: people that don't necessarily have that in their past. That 847 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 21: incident wasn't actually shown on the show, so there's no 848 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 21: way we can tell what happened or see exactly what happened. 849 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 21: But by all the accounts that have been on the show, 850 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,080 Speaker 21: it does sound pretty serious. You know, you can't go 851 00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 21: around punching wolves just because you're a little bit upset 852 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 21: about something. And the show's response hasn't been particularly great either. 853 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 21: They have kept the guy on obviously, ratings, viewings, we're 854 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 21: talking about it now. It's all this, you know, what's 855 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 21: the old saying no publicity is bad publicity. Perhaps it 856 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 21: is if their safe workplace is getting involved. Maybe that 857 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 21: is when we've found that line. 858 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 2: Is there a g because I feel like we have 859 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 2: this debates that of every couple of years about particularly 860 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 2: maths in Australia, it's a particularly feral version of the show. 861 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,319 Speaker 2: Is there a genuine risk this time it could be 862 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,240 Speaker 2: shut down? Do you reckon? 863 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 21: I don't think they'll close it down. I mean that 864 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 21: risk is there, Like once the authorities are involved. Possibly 865 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 21: if they get stung with some massive, multimillion dollar fine 866 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 21: that makes it impossible to continue. Perhaps, But it's such 867 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 21: a juggernaut of entertainment, and it's become so much part 868 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:34,879 Speaker 21: of the yearly viewing calendar that I think they'll fight 869 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 21: pretty hard to keep it on screens. 870 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's been making them too much money. Carl, 871 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 2: thank you for that. Carl Pushman, Entertainment Report at Times 872 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 2: twenty one minutes after five news talks, there be after 873 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 2: six we're going to talk to actually one of the 874 00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:52,839 Speaker 2: investors who's representing apparently close to a trillion dollars worth 875 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,800 Speaker 2: of investors, so they're representing a whole bunch of others. 876 00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 2: What's he got to say about how today has gone? 877 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 2: It's essentially been minister after minister after prime minister talking 878 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 2: to you about their portfolios. Has that been helpful for them? 879 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,959 Speaker 2: Does that make you want to go out and spend 880 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 2: your money here? We was talking about that. After six 881 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,759 Speaker 2: o'clock we're also going to talk to Liam Dan the 882 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 2: brain drain. Apparently we might have hit peak, finally hit 883 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 2: peak brain drain, which means we can craw back some 884 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 2: of our obviously no one from maths but craw back 885 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 2: some of our kiwis to New Zealand shores. Twenty two 886 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 2: minutes after five News talks at be. 887 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 1: Getting the facts discarding the fluff. It's Ryan Bridge on 888 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 1: Heather Duplice Allen Drive with one New Zealand Let's get 889 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: connected News talks'd be. 890 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 2: Five twenty four. Good evening to you. A couple of 891 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 2: reminders today that good intentions, while laudable well nice to have, 892 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 2: don't change the world, not on their own. Our former 893 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 2: Prime Minister was back in the news today for a 894 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 2: children's book and good Honor. She's getting on with life 895 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 2: after politics, writing a few books. We all need to 896 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,640 Speaker 2: move on good, but we can't forget that even though 897 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 2: our leaders may have good intentions they mean well, they care, 898 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean they can help. Be at child poverty, 899 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 2: be at housing, be at hospitals, you name it. You 900 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 2: need skills, competence and an ability to deliver as well. 901 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 2: Also out today a story about an ethical fashion brand 902 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 2: in Wellington that's gone under. They wanted their products to 903 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 2: be sourced from certain places, yet they wanted them to 904 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 2: be affordable for people, and they employed thirty one migrants 905 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 2: and refugees. Now, that is a laudable goal. Those are 906 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 2: excellent things to strive for, and I think they're brave 907 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 2: for giving it a go, and good on them for 908 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 2: doing it. But they have realized that their costs were 909 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,720 Speaker 2: too high. Their prices would have had to go higher, 910 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,879 Speaker 2: and that didn't fit well with their ethical stance, so 911 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 2: they have shut Those people who were employed now won't 912 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,399 Speaker 2: be and that is a real shame. But it goes 913 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 2: to show that good intentions, ethics, virtue value on their 914 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 2: own don't necessarily change the world. Ryan Bridge, twenty six 915 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 2: after five News talks there b Rob Campbell, aut chancellor, 916 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,800 Speaker 2: former boss of Health end Z. He's with us after 917 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 2: five point thirty on the huddle, also Jordan Williams from 918 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,279 Speaker 2: the taxpayers and you need to be with us too. 919 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,720 Speaker 2: Donald Trump today, well, not actually today, in the last 920 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,479 Speaker 2: couple of hours, so I guess that is today he's 921 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 2: come out and said this is his Environmental Protection Agency 922 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 2: reversed a whole bunch of Biden era pollution laws and 923 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 2: landmark findings on carbon emissions, et cetera. The Environmental Protection 924 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 2: Authority in the US is now going to investigate weather. 925 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 2: Greenhouse gases are in fact bad for human health. I know, 926 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,239 Speaker 2: back to the drawing board a little bit on that 927 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 2: one twenty seven after five huddle. 928 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 17: Next yourself to Myself, my prison, my hell, Molly, Liberal. 929 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,959 Speaker 1: Pudding, the challenging questions to the people at the heart 930 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: of the story. It's Ryan Bridge on, Hither duplicy all 931 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,720 Speaker 1: and drive with one New Zealand let's get connected news talks. 932 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:29,040 Speaker 9: It'd be. 933 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 17: The first time. 934 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,320 Speaker 2: Good evening, great to have your company on this Thursday afternoon. 935 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,760 Speaker 2: The huddle coming your way just shortly with Rob Campbell 936 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,960 Speaker 2: and Jordan Williams. Lots to discuss and a lot of 937 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 2: you are texting, and actually about the debate over bow cancer. 938 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,200 Speaker 2: Not debating bell cancer, but how you treat bell cancer 939 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,240 Speaker 2: and who should get the treatment. We'll get to that shortly. 940 00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 2: Also after six this evening. They reckon this is the economy. 941 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 2: I reckon that the brain drain might be starting to 942 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 2: turn a corner. We've obviously been losing a lot of 943 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,080 Speaker 2: talent to particularly to Australia. We've lost half our brain 944 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 2: to Sydney, it feels like, and so that's starting to 945 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 2: turn a corner. We had one hundred and twenty two 946 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 2: thousand leaving for the year to January. These are the 947 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,040 Speaker 2: new numbers. That's up eighteen percent. Arrivals down to thirty 948 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 2: one percent, so that's obviously not great, but some early 949 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 2: indications that it's starting to turn. So we'll get to 950 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 2: that after six o'clock news talks. There be twenty five 951 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 2: twenty four away from six now. Ryan Bridge Local Government, 952 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 2: New Zealand wants polling stations and ballot boxes for local elections, 953 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: get rid of the postal voting. They reckon Nick Smith's 954 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 2: with Local Government New Zealand, the Electoral Reform chair. Good evening, 955 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 2: Nick A, good to be on your program right, thanks 956 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,040 Speaker 2: for being here. So is it what people not turning 957 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 2: up to vote? We know that's a problem. Do you 958 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 2: think this will change that? 959 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 16: Yes? I do, And I think we've got two big problems. 960 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 16: The first is for thirty years we've seen a decline 961 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,879 Speaker 16: in the participation in our local elections. When I first 962 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,800 Speaker 16: in the nineteen eighties, we're up at about sixty percent, 963 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:07,720 Speaker 16: we're down to forty percent. That compares with eighty percent 964 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 16: of people voting in our parliamentary elections. And then the 965 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:16,720 Speaker 16: other clinger is that post is in a death spiral. 966 00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 16: The numbers of letters has declined by about ninety percent. 967 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 16: There's lots of people that even don't have a letter 968 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 16: box or certainly don't check one, and that is negatively 969 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:33,040 Speaker 16: impacting on people being part of our local elections. And 970 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 16: the real problem with it, Ryan is for mayors or 971 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 16: councils to be able to speak for their communities when 972 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,400 Speaker 16: you've now got well less than half the people voting. 973 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 16: It's a real risk and if we really believe in 974 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 16: our democracy, we need to sort it. 975 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 2: I agree with you because I just think about my 976 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 2: own situation. If I had a letter, you know thing 977 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:52,800 Speaker 2: I've got to fill in and then I've got to 978 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 2: remember to, you know, take it with me into the car, 979 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 2: put it in a bag, then remember to get it 980 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 2: out and go to a post bar. I've never been 981 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,880 Speaker 2: to a postbox in the last ten years. I mean, 982 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,439 Speaker 2: if there was somewhere I could go and tick my box, 983 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 2: it would be a lot easier. 984 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 16: And the other part is we know the parliamentary election 985 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,480 Speaker 16: system works, and one of the advantages of having the 986 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 16: Electoral Commission run it is they run it on a 987 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,320 Speaker 16: nationwide basis. We know the habit and we've got a 988 00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 16: level of participation. It's actually one of the highest in 989 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 16: the world. Now, the other part advantages I've got is 990 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,640 Speaker 16: we'll all remember the Orange Man and his dog that 991 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 16: encourage us to get out to vote. They spend about 992 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:37,080 Speaker 16: four bucks of voter on that campaign. In comparison, councils 993 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,239 Speaker 16: each run their own sort of little ad hoc campaign, 994 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,680 Speaker 16: averagely spending about a ninth of that. And you do 995 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,360 Speaker 16: get what you pay for. And so I'm keen to 996 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 16: recruit the Orange Man and the dog and getting him 997 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 16: doing his job when we do our council elections. 998 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and when the better is better than forty percent, 999 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 2: which is the current turn out, which is not great. Nick, 1000 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 2: thank you for that. Next minute, who is with the 1001 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 2: Electoral Reform Chair at Local Government New Zealand. Time is 1002 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:05,800 Speaker 2: twenty two minutes away. 1003 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 1: From six the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty 1004 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 1: Find You're one of a kind. 1005 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 2: Rob Campbell, aut chancellor and former Boss of Health ends 1006 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 2: edits with us tonight. Hey Rob, Hey, Ryan, how are 1007 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 2: you good? Thank you? Jordan Williams is here two Taxpayers 1008 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:21,800 Speaker 2: Union evening. 1009 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,279 Speaker 8: Jordan, get a Ryan. 1010 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 2: Now let's start with I don't even know whether well, yeah, 1011 00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 2: the local election thing, just because we're talking to Next Smith. 1012 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,879 Speaker 2: For me, it's a no brainer, and I would rather 1013 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 2: I didn't even ask him how much it costs, because honestly, 1014 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,800 Speaker 2: I just don't care. I think local government is the 1015 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,759 Speaker 2: neglected poor cousin of central government, and that's because no 1016 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 2: one bothers to vote for it, and we should be. 1017 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,880 Speaker 2: So anything they can do to help, robbody reckon. 1018 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,839 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think anything we can do to get those 1019 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 8: numbers up is really good. Obviously, postal voting is a 1020 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 8: thing of history. Really, as long as they make a 1021 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 8: real effort to get out into communities to make it 1022 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,439 Speaker 8: easy for people to get to vote and explain it, well, 1023 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,080 Speaker 8: I'm fully in favor of making that change. I understand 1024 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 8: Marisa are quite good at collecting votes. Ryan, that muth 1025 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 8: another way to go about it. 1026 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 2: And photo copy them. Wait was that a joke? Rob, 1027 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 2: I'm without. 1028 00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,799 Speaker 8: Oh you know me, Ryan, it was partly a joke, 1029 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 8: but it's also no. A are actually very good at 1030 00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,880 Speaker 8: doing that kind of thing. And one thing I did 1031 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,719 Speaker 8: object to about what Nick Smith was saying was that 1032 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,279 Speaker 8: Orange Man and his dog annoyed the hell out of me. 1033 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 8: I prefer to have the stick man that does the 1034 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 8: supermarket ads personally do. 1035 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 2: I'm not even sure we can call it a man 1036 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,879 Speaker 2: these days, aren't it? Because that didn't have any genitalia. 1037 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 2: So it's very unsure, very uncertain, Jordan, what do you reckon? 1038 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,880 Speaker 22: This is getting an intellectual for me. Of course, my 1039 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 22: understanding was we moved postal voting to increase turnout. I 1040 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:59,560 Speaker 22: think it's a strange argument that al Jeans are making, 1041 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 22: but I actually support the measure. The bigger question around 1042 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:09,800 Speaker 22: postal voting was the integrity and security of the system. 1043 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 22: I suspect requiring people to turn up like national elections 1044 00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 22: may actually reduce turnout, but if it means you've got 1045 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 22: more confidence in the end result, and there's been a 1046 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:26,320 Speaker 22: few examples in recent years where real, just prima facie, 1047 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 22: you know, things really haven't looked right, and there's been 1048 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,719 Speaker 22: suspicions of funny business. That's worthwhile. But of course it's 1049 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:40,360 Speaker 22: logical that local body turnout would be lower because until 1050 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:45,280 Speaker 22: you own property, you don't really have the main interface 1051 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,400 Speaker 22: with local government, and that is paying right now. 1052 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:51,879 Speaker 2: I get that, But you're saying, if it's tag away 1053 00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 2: the postal and go into your local town, hall that 1054 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 2: would lower turnout. I think it would. I would anything 1055 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,480 Speaker 2: it would increase turn out, or at least stay the 1056 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,399 Speaker 2: same moment. I can't think of anyone in my life 1057 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,719 Speaker 2: like my grandma. She does post a voting, but she 1058 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 2: would just go into the town hall. 1059 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:08,840 Speaker 9: You know. 1060 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 22: The idea was that it gave you longer to vote. 1061 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 22: You know that you got it in the mail. You 1062 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,759 Speaker 22: could do it at any time. The thing is having 1063 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 22: an election day. We have to go along and on 1064 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 22: a certain day. The idea was when we moved to 1065 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 22: postal voting, that it would increase turnout. I think it's 1066 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,680 Speaker 22: strange to make the same argument going back, although having 1067 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 22: said that, I mean, you're right, we post. 1068 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,640 Speaker 2: This conflicted today, Jordan, don't you. 1069 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:38,879 Speaker 4: Of course? 1070 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,320 Speaker 8: Jordan, I guess if we prioritize the post office, you 1071 00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,399 Speaker 8: would be happy because it'll be generating income for it, wouldn't. 1072 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 2: There We go, We'll come back in a second because 1073 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 2: I want to ask you both about I'm really genuinely 1074 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 2: interested to get to the bottom of what's going on 1075 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 2: with our bows screening program and whether the role of 1076 00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 2: the health system is to try and save the biggest 1077 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 2: number you know that have the best impact on the 1078 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:07,120 Speaker 2: largest number of people or not. Rob Campbell and Jordan Williams. 1079 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: Next the huddle with New Zealand Southeby's International Realty, the 1080 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,960 Speaker 1: ones with Local and Global Reach. 1081 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 2: US talk ZB. It is quarter to six now. The 1082 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 2: government is lowering the age for everybody for bow screening, 1083 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 2: for bow cancer screening to fifty eight. Now, that is 1084 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 2: an expensive thing to do. To do that, they have 1085 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,840 Speaker 2: a cutting a program that had lowered the age for 1086 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 2: Mardi and Pacifica down to fifty. I asked Simeon Brown 1087 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 2: last week. Are Mardi and Pacifica more predisposed to bow cancer? 1088 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 2: And this is what he said. 1089 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 20: No, The advice is that bow cancer risk is similar 1090 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 20: similar across all population groups at the same age. So 1091 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 20: that that's the even right that we've presented by the 1092 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 20: Ministry of Health. 1093 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,919 Speaker 2: Now Rob Campbell, aut Chancellor, the former Health and Z boss, 1094 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 2: Jordan Williams, Taxpayers and they're on the huddle to night, guys, 1095 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 2: welcome back. So we've had physicians come out today and 1096 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 2: say the Royal Australasian College A physicians say that's not 1097 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 2: the case. What do you make of this, Rob. 1098 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 8: Well, either the Minister has misinterpreted what the Ministry was saying, 1099 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,520 Speaker 8: or the ministry was not telling him the truth. There's 1100 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:25,439 Speaker 8: only those two possibilities. The idea and the policy which 1101 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 8: was adopted of the lower age for Mary and Pacifica 1102 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 8: came as a result of years of research across a 1103 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 8: whole wide range of researchers. It was not an ideological thing. 1104 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 8: It was a health decision that we now know that 1105 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 8: if Maria and Pacifica are not getting that earlier bowl screening, 1106 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,400 Speaker 8: more Mary and Pacifica people will die. That's a fact. 1107 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 8: That's just a fact. There's no guesswork in that. There's 1108 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,680 Speaker 8: no modeling involved in it. I don't know what piece 1109 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:00,480 Speaker 8: of modeling the Minister got the Ministry to do. I 1110 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,919 Speaker 8: hope that the Ministry didn't pander to him in terms 1111 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,240 Speaker 8: of the policy he wanted to adopt, although we are 1112 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 8: seeing signs of that across the public service. But there's 1113 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,439 Speaker 8: no question at all, there will be no reputable health 1114 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 8: professional who will argue that the change that has been 1115 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 8: made does not lead to more Maria and Pacifica men 1116 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 8: dying in bell cancer. 1117 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 2: Now, well, that's the interest that so Jordan. 1118 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 22: The question is whether that's a genetic predisdisposition. I think 1119 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,200 Speaker 22: we all all agree on that, And I mean I 1120 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 22: don't clearly. I mean I push a pen run for 1121 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 22: a living room A lawyer by background, I don't know 1122 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 22: the answer to that. I asked AI before coming on here, 1123 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 22: knowing this would come up. And the evidence does look 1124 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 22: pretty mixed, less so with MARI, but particularly with Pacific 1125 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 22: communities according to a chap GBT. But I mean, you 1126 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 22: would certainly hope that the advice the minister is getting 1127 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 22: isn't politicized. 1128 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 2: I suspect though. 1129 00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,439 Speaker 22: The issue is there are areas of health where there's 1130 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 22: not genetic predispositions, but still some racial preferences, and I 1131 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 22: think that drives a bit of the mistrust in this issue, 1132 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 22: which is why we have the city of debate, because 1133 01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 22: I think most people would agree that, you know, in 1134 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,439 Speaker 22: the health is one of the few areas where race 1135 01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:24,360 Speaker 22: can make a difference in terms of the necessity or 1136 01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 22: eligibility to public services. That is an evidential question, though, 1137 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 22: And I mean you would hope you what can the 1138 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 22: minister do other than rely on officials. 1139 01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 8: And that's the minister asking the ministry is a bit 1140 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 8: like the way you asked Chatch pete quest, doesn't it 1141 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 8: and if he framed the question the right way anticipating. 1142 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 2: The art, Well, we don't know that, and why would 1143 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:51,920 Speaker 2: you frame him. 1144 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 8: Of the ministry suddenly reverse years of research and years 1145 01:00:58,200 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 8: of its own advice. 1146 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 2: Well, we're now. We have asked them come back to 1147 01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 2: us and tell us, you know, to explain themselves basically. 1148 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 2: But what one thing he did say. 1149 01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,600 Speaker 8: Having some difficulty, aren't they yeah. 1150 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 2: Rob, What he did say is that their modeling showed 1151 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 2: that you would save an additional by making it lower 1152 01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 2: for everyone. You would save an additional one hundred and 1153 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 2: seventy six lives over twenty five years. So it's possible 1154 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,520 Speaker 2: that you that you're both right, that you are. That 1155 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 2: you might be costing more Maori and Pacifica lives, but 1156 01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 2: overall you are saving more lives. Now that the question is, 1157 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 2: is that what a health system should do? 1158 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,160 Speaker 8: We know what a health system should do is what 1159 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 8: people always keep telling us that people should be treated 1160 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 8: according to their health needs. And we know that in 1161 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 8: respect to bowel cancer and screening, the health needs of 1162 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 8: different groups of people are different. You do not create 1163 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:56,720 Speaker 8: equity by treating people all the same when their circumstances 1164 01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,960 Speaker 8: are not the same. That's the whole skilled in clinical treatment. 1165 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 8: It's the whole skill in the GP's office is to 1166 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 8: know what kind of treatment, what should be offered to 1167 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 8: people in different situations. So this whole idea that people 1168 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 8: are just numbers, that we're all absolutely equivalent and it's 1169 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 8: the best just to treat us all the same way, 1170 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 8: it's really just outrageously against everything with healthcare. 1171 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,720 Speaker 4: Rob, you may. 1172 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 22: You may differ, though, the degree to which race can 1173 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:29,880 Speaker 22: be quite a blunt instrument on that, and that's why 1174 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 22: it depends on what condition you're talking about and whether 1175 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,280 Speaker 22: there is a genuine predisposition. 1176 01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:36,840 Speaker 10: Ryan. 1177 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 22: Just in relation to your question about sort of saving 1178 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 22: more lives, health has quite a good I haven't actually 1179 01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:45,840 Speaker 22: dealt with the much in recent years, but they used 1180 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 22: to have a very good economics team in the quite 1181 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 22: a sophisticated modeling a lot like ACC in terms of 1182 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 22: determining these sorts of trade offs between years of life 1183 01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:02,120 Speaker 22: and quality of life. That's unfortunately, you know, bread and 1184 01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,400 Speaker 22: butter of public policy people and health. They do have that, 1185 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,480 Speaker 22: They do model that and they do it every day. 1186 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:11,880 Speaker 2: All Right, we'll leave it there, go. Rob did you 1187 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 2: go down to the investment summit today. 1188 01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 8: No, I didn't get my invite, but I mean that's 1189 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 8: I'm finding it extremely amusing. I mean, the idea that 1190 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 8: it's some kind of victory to have people come here. 1191 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 8: If you put an that out and say we'd like 1192 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,120 Speaker 8: to sell things, typically people turn up who like buying things. 1193 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,040 Speaker 8: And so of course there are lots of people there 1194 01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,800 Speaker 8: with lots of money. They're scouring the world every day 1195 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 8: to find good investment opportunities, so they would have come 1196 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 8: as they do to look at these sorts of things, 1197 01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 8: and it's no surprise that some of them will line 1198 01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 8: up and be on things of the government office, and 1199 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 8: of course they will else would not. 1200 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 2: Then it's not a bad thing, is it, Jordan? 1201 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,200 Speaker 22: No, no, w I didn't see what comes out the 1202 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 22: other end of it. I mean, if it looks to 1203 01:03:56,760 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 22: be really a focus just around PPPs, which is really 1204 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,680 Speaker 22: just that the devil is always in the detail as 1205 01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,960 Speaker 22: to what who carries, what risks and whether that's the 1206 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 22: There are clearly upsides of well managed PPPs, but look, 1207 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 22: they also can go wrong. 1208 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, you think Jordan and I have one slogan we 1209 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 8: can agree on, and this idea that somehow governments can 1210 01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 8: avoid the cost of things by creating PPPs. Is what 1211 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 8: it's called a free lunch, and it doesn't. 1212 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,240 Speaker 2: Exist unless you're at school. 1213 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 22: Well, but it's a financing it's a financing tool, and 1214 01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,000 Speaker 22: you've got guaranteed revenue going for There are I disagree 1215 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 22: with that. There are some advantages, especially if you are 1216 01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 22: able to deliver the same piece of infrastructure for cheaper 1217 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,680 Speaker 22: than what the government can do if it manages itself. 1218 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 2: All right, and we can't go into the ins and 1219 01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,200 Speaker 2: outs of the PPPs right now, we're running out of time, 1220 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:52,520 Speaker 2: but fascinating discussion. Guys, really appreciate you coming on, especially 1221 01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 2: the talk chat about how eight minutes away from six 1222 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,920 Speaker 2: news Talks you'll be lots of feedback coming and we'll 1223 01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:58,920 Speaker 2: get to some of that next. 1224 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 1: The Heather dup c Allen Drive Full Show podcast on 1225 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 1: Ihart Radio powered by News TALKSB. 1226 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:11,800 Speaker 2: News Talks B. It is five minutes away from six Ryan. 1227 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 2: Lowering the age to fifty eight overall will save more lives. 1228 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 2: Race is the wrong metric to use. Need is paramount. 1229 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,120 Speaker 2: I'm sick of the race thing, says Trish. Another says 1230 01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 2: the only argument is the whole population gets the best outcome, 1231 01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 2: not just selected groups. Another says, what about other races 1232 01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 2: predisposition to certain ailments above other races? Then again, so yeah, 1233 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 2: there is actually a kind of a split debate on 1234 01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,600 Speaker 2: this happening on the text machine. This is about bowel 1235 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:45,760 Speaker 2: cancer screening in New Zealand. I think if if you are, 1236 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:47,560 Speaker 2: and this is why we have to wait for the 1237 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 2: Ministry of Health to tell us what the hell is 1238 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,280 Speaker 2: going on with the you know, whether someone is predisposed 1239 01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 2: to this cancer or not. But if you have, if 1240 01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,920 Speaker 2: you're because of your race, you have a predisposition to 1241 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,760 Speaker 2: a certain type of cancer, then you that should be 1242 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,000 Speaker 2: a marker that gets you up the list, surely for 1243 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,600 Speaker 2: for a screening. I would have thought that would be 1244 01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 2: non controversial. But if there is no predisposition, then why 1245 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 2: would that, you know, get to the front of the 1246 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 2: queue exist. I think that would be wrong too, So 1247 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:19,480 Speaker 2: we kind of need to know the answer to that 1248 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,360 Speaker 2: basic question before you you know, before you're making any judgment. 1249 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 2: I suppose nine two is the number of text we're 1250 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 2: going back to the investment summit to actually hear from 1251 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 2: an investor after six o'clock.

Now the government been rolling out the welcome 1276 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,880 Speaker 2: for local and international investors today this investment summit, the 1277 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,960 Speaker 2: Australian Infrastructure Investor Plenary has committed already come out and 1278 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,720 Speaker 2: said we are bidding for at least five PPPs and 1279 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 2: we're going to open office here in the next eighteen months. 1280 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 2: That came from Chris Bishop, who was on the show 1281 01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 2: just after five. This Italian investor is king to put 1282 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:21,479 Speaker 2: his hat in. 1283 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 23: The ring for the Northern Expressway and I think that 1284 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:28,639 Speaker 23: we are looking at the first big bpp the Northland Corridor, 1285 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:33,240 Speaker 23: the Aighway, and I think is happening and it's real 1286 01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,960 Speaker 23: and it's something that I you know, I work with 1287 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:39,479 Speaker 23: governments arounderworld and. 1288 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:45,400 Speaker 24: It's very rare to see every time a deadline that 1289 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 24: has been met by the government side. 1290 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,639 Speaker 2: Absolutely Now. Brett Shepard was there as well, Craig's Investment 1291 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 2: Partners representing some big investors at the summit and he's 1292 01:08:58,520 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 2: with me now, Hi, Brett. 1293 01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:01,240 Speaker 25: Get afternoon. 1294 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:01,840 Speaker 8: Ryan. 1295 01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 25: How's it going? 1296 01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, really good, Thanks for being with me. Run us 1297 01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,800 Speaker 2: through your highlights real from today, Brett, what was it like? 1298 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 25: I think in the comment of Plenary Italian investors basically 1299 01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,680 Speaker 25: shows how well it's being received by international and local investors. 1300 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,960 Speaker 25: You probably can summarize it in a couple of ways. First, 1301 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 25: I think the commitment of the Prime Minister and their 1302 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 25: respective ministers to grow the economy on a consistent basis 1303 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,000 Speaker 25: through partnership and infrastructure. I mean that message was just 1304 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:37,280 Speaker 25: resounding and continued commitment needed presentation to that. But then 1305 01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,280 Speaker 25: I was followed up which people have found incredible is 1306 01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:45,559 Speaker 25: the accessibility the Prime Minister and the ministers to discuss 1307 01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 25: both projects and the concept and the policy framework upon 1308 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 25: what to do that because they're not used to that. 1309 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 25: They're used to having Prime Minister present and then disappear. 1310 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,719 Speaker 25: But the Prime Minister made himself available throughout the whole conference, 1311 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,240 Speaker 25: which was the fair I think also the commitment of 1312 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 25: Eliso isn't It was great to have many Fenora present, 1313 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,320 Speaker 25: how they were ready to partner up and be available 1314 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 25: on a permanent capital basis and dependent comment basis, which 1315 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:18,640 Speaker 25: resounded really well. But just every international investor. And then 1316 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,240 Speaker 25: we got to both specific projects as you've just identified 1317 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,679 Speaker 25: at the riding project to be at hostels being built, 1318 01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,720 Speaker 25: at courts being built, and so that resonated well with 1319 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:33,200 Speaker 25: investors that this wasn't just a short term kind of rhetoric. 1320 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 25: It's an actual process and there was work in progress 1321 01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 25: that they could submit to over the medium terms. 1322 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,040 Speaker 2: We've had fast track changes here in New Zealand, we've 1323 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,639 Speaker 2: had overseas investment laws changed here as well. How much 1324 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,639 Speaker 2: do they play into the decisions that will be made 1325 01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 2: and not just the fact that they've been changed, but 1326 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 2: the possibility that they might be changed back if we had, 1327 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:57,799 Speaker 2: you know, if we have a change in government. 1328 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 25: You know, that's excellent question because I mean understanding what 1329 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 25: labor says tomorrow is going to be important and the 1330 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 25: opposition says tomorrow, but the approach that's been communicated and 1331 01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,640 Speaker 25: that this is a bipartisan approach. And so when you 1332 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:19,200 Speaker 25: look at being able to do projects of national significance, 1333 01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 25: when as you said, looking at the FDO rules in 1334 01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:27,960 Speaker 25: a way that encourages international investment, people are looking for 1335 01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,600 Speaker 25: their consistency and policy between government. You're exactly right. So 1336 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,320 Speaker 25: right now people are excited about the work in progress 1337 01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 25: in front of them, but will still be looking for 1338 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:43,880 Speaker 25: the commitment to labor and infrastructure specifically that they won't 1339 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:48,479 Speaker 25: be looking to change the rules. And just what you've identified, brit. 1340 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 2: What are the investors that you represent the other investors 1341 01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,559 Speaker 2: in the room, what do they normally invest in? Are they? 1342 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,280 Speaker 2: Are they all kind of PPP people and why are 1343 01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:58,920 Speaker 2: PPPs attractive to them? 1344 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,720 Speaker 25: Excellent? So these are global pension funds with over a 1345 01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,719 Speaker 25: trillion dollars an investment. So they invest in a range 1346 01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:12,880 Speaker 25: of investment from bonds, shares, real estate in what we 1347 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:17,880 Speaker 25: call alternative assets, and an alternative assets is public private partnerships. 1348 01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 25: They so they have the school base and the expertise 1349 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,280 Speaker 25: to invest in it. Why do they investor? They've learned 1350 01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,720 Speaker 25: globally that a they can deliver products cheaper and the 1351 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 25: they can operate them better than central government in terms 1352 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:34,800 Speaker 25: of maintenance of assets. They let the social service being 1353 01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 25: developed by the governments. That does sound They're very good 1354 01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,719 Speaker 25: at that. So they become experts in this globally. 1355 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,200 Speaker 2: Now you mentioned labor tomorrow, obviously there's going to be 1356 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 2: a lot of focus on what they've got to say. 1357 01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 2: But the the other thing that's come out is the 1358 01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:54,639 Speaker 2: pipeline of work. How you know how many projects ahead 1359 01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:55,720 Speaker 2: do you do? 1360 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: You know? 1361 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,920 Speaker 2: Do these investors need to be looking before they'll commit 1362 01:12:59,000 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 2: to coming here. 1363 01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 25: It's excellent I guess we've still at transport coming tomorrow 1364 01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:12,360 Speaker 25: and roading. But through the communication of how education, the 1365 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,360 Speaker 25: courts and the corrections, they could see a five to 1366 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 25: a year pipeline and in fact some examples we give 1367 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 25: them of a thirty year pipeline without being specific on 1368 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 25: projects to see how the government's thinking is working and 1369 01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 25: so trending is a classic. So when you hear how 1370 01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,519 Speaker 25: they ever commitment to not a single project but a 1371 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,360 Speaker 25: series of projects over three to five to ten year period, 1372 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 25: then you get engagement not just of money, but of 1373 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 25: people on the ground to make sure it happen. 1374 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,439 Speaker 2: Britt, really interesting, lovely to hear your perspective from actually 1375 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:46,280 Speaker 2: being their Brit Shepherd from Craig's Investment Partners, representing some 1376 01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,439 Speaker 2: of the big investors at the summit and giving us 1377 01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:49,960 Speaker 2: a pretty good rundown of what it was like to 1378 01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 2: be there and what people who have come from all 1379 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,679 Speaker 2: over the world are thinking. Thanks Brett. Thirteen minutes after 1380 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 2: six News Talk said be leam down on the brain drain. 1381 01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:04,000 Speaker 1: Next It's Dupless Allen Drive Full show podcast on Iheartradiom 1382 01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:05,559 Speaker 1: powered by Newstalk Zebbie. 1383 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:09,479 Speaker 2: Staying at a hotel can be a functional part of 1384 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,200 Speaker 2: traveling to another city or the focus of a treat 1385 01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 2: yourself weekend. But when a hotel stands out as a 1386 01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:20,280 Speaker 2: genuinely impressive and memorable part of the experience, it makes 1387 01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 2: all the difference. And so Auckland is definitely a hotel 1388 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,760 Speaker 2: that lives up to that description. And I know that 1389 01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 2: because I've stayed at one just recently. Sentiments the growing 1390 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 2: number of five star options in the city of sales 1391 01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,479 Speaker 2: that effortlessly combines modern luxury with a spirited artistic edge 1392 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 2: and features no other hotel in the central city can offer. 1393 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 9: You. 1394 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,960 Speaker 2: At so Auckland, the experience begins with the welcome, warm, inviting, 1395 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 2: sophisticated without stuffiness, a comfortable vibe thanks to the hotel's 1396 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 2: staff and its bold design. Of course, all the personality 1397 01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:58,719 Speaker 2: in the world won't help if a hotel's rooms aren't 1398 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,800 Speaker 2: up to scratch. So Auckland put a lot of thought 1399 01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:05,120 Speaker 2: into the room the in room luxury. Every room has 1400 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,200 Speaker 2: huge windows offering city views, as well as a free 1401 01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:12,760 Speaker 2: standing bathtub as a centerpiece in each bathroom. Not to mention, 1402 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:15,439 Speaker 2: it's a couple of minutes walk to the ferry terminal 1403 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,519 Speaker 2: and to the Viaduct, so Auckland is really impressive. So 1404 01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:23,320 Speaker 2: treat yourself, enjoy a breakaway from the every day at 1405 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:27,240 Speaker 2: so Auckland sometimes soon, Bryan Bridge, time has just gone 1406 01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,760 Speaker 2: seventeen after six. Now the brain, the great brain drain 1407 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,200 Speaker 2: that we keep harping on about migrant departures have reached 1408 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 2: a new record, just five one hundred and twenty three thousand. 1409 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,439 Speaker 2: This is for the year to January new numbers out. 1410 01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:41,760 Speaker 2: That's up eighteen percent. But there is some sense that 1411 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,840 Speaker 2: we might have hit peak brain drain, which is good. 1412 01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,800 Speaker 2: Liam Dan is the Herald's business editor at Larges with 1413 01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:49,679 Speaker 2: me now, high limb, Good. 1414 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:50,000 Speaker 8: Day, Ryan. 1415 01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:52,479 Speaker 2: So what are we seeing in these numbers. 1416 01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 26: Yeah, there's a lot of numbers there, and you can 1417 01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 26: sort of pick and chairs a bit because the annual 1418 01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,519 Speaker 26: stats are going to keep looking pretty rough for a 1419 01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:04,120 Speaker 26: while because they're catching those that the peak of the 1420 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,360 Speaker 26: brain drain last year. 1421 01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,639 Speaker 15: But what we can see is that if. 1422 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 26: You look at I guess what we're talking about here 1423 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,320 Speaker 26: is Kiwi citizens leaving long term, right, and so the 1424 01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:20,560 Speaker 26: Kiwi departures have sort of plateau that they're they're in 1425 01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 26: the year to January twenty twenty five they were forty 1426 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:29,439 Speaker 26: four thousand, seven hundred, and that compares to sorry, sorry, 1427 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 26: forty four thousand, two hundred compared to forty four thousand, 1428 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,280 Speaker 26: seven hundred for the year to January twenty twenty four. 1429 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 26: And then sort of what you can see is that 1430 01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,800 Speaker 26: in the year to August twenty twenty four was when 1431 01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,679 Speaker 26: they peaked, we had forty seven thousand, So nearly fifty 1432 01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 26: thousand people left in that year to August, and so 1433 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 26: they're drifting back. Forty four thousand kiwis leaving is still 1434 01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,160 Speaker 26: a heck of a lot, you know. So there's no 1435 01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:58,400 Speaker 26: sense that we're saying that the brain drain is over 1436 01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 26: or cured. But the peak is an important thing to 1437 01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 26: get beyond because it possibly suggests that the trend has 1438 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,760 Speaker 26: started moving in the right direction and that there's you know, 1439 01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:12,640 Speaker 26: perhaps less push for Kiwis to get out there, and so, 1440 01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 26: you know, hopefully that's part of the recovery story. 1441 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 2: Right well, hopefully. I was going to ask, does that 1442 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,320 Speaker 2: mean that it's a sign that Kiwis are saying where 1443 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,000 Speaker 2: our prospects are looking better here or is it just 1444 01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,280 Speaker 2: that we've run out of mobile brains to actually, you know, 1445 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 2: up and leave. 1446 01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 26: Look, it's possible. Look, we don't the stats don't dig 1447 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 26: down into who exactly is leaving. We get a little 1448 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,400 Speaker 26: bit of age based stuff, but that takes a while 1449 01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:45,559 Speaker 26: to come through. Yeah, it's Look, and overall net migration 1450 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 26: is still it's still positive. So we're still gaining thirty 1451 01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,920 Speaker 26: two thy five hundred people I think in the year 1452 01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:58,679 Speaker 26: to January, but that's down from one hundred and something 1453 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,479 Speaker 26: something like one hundred and thirty two one hundred and 1454 01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 26: fifty five thousand or something. You know, we had this 1455 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,360 Speaker 26: enormous peak, and so just having that net migration gain 1456 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,639 Speaker 26: of thirty two thousand is enough to sort of create 1457 01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:11,080 Speaker 26: a bit of a head when the economy is used 1458 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,559 Speaker 26: to having a lot more people coming in. And I'm 1459 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,799 Speaker 26: hearing economists talk about how that's one of the reasons 1460 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,360 Speaker 26: that the housing markets just not picking up as fast 1461 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 26: as you might have expected with interest rates coming off. 1462 01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,000 Speaker 26: That we're sort of built in the last year or 1463 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 26: two for this high level of incoming migration or lower 1464 01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:30,360 Speaker 26: levels of people leaving. 1465 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:30,320 Speaker 27: And. 1466 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 26: You know, we're sort of feeling that now. But yeah, 1467 01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,680 Speaker 26: as I say, the trend possibly starting to turn, and 1468 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 26: let's hope, you know, if they can if we can 1469 01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 26: see the economy continue to improve. It usually is fairly 1470 01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:44,040 Speaker 26: related to the economy. 1471 01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, And because I noticed that IMF report yesterday, they 1472 01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,680 Speaker 2: said that it would be you know, our recovery this 1473 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,800 Speaker 2: year would be in part lad by migration. I mean, 1474 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 2: are they taking into account the fact that, you know, 1475 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:58,479 Speaker 2: net migration is relatively low compared to where we normally 1476 01:18:58,560 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 2: have it. Presumably they are. 1477 01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,120 Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean I think they're talking. I mean, in 1478 01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,320 Speaker 26: the end, it's going to you know, you change a 1479 01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,840 Speaker 26: few settings. At some point, the lower level of net 1480 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,599 Speaker 26: migration will start to cause labor shortages, and then inevitably 1481 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:18,160 Speaker 26: a government tries to open things up again. We're really 1482 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,559 Speaker 26: all sitting there waiting for the labor market to work 1483 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:26,920 Speaker 26: through the worst of its unemployment and get some jobs 1484 01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 26: creating again. So that's not looking like it's happening till 1485 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,040 Speaker 26: the second half of the year. But when that starts 1486 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,439 Speaker 26: to happen, you'd expect to see migration pick up as well, 1487 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:36,759 Speaker 26: a fewer people leaving. 1488 01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 9: Because of his jobs. 1489 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,000 Speaker 26: So so much of it's tied to jobs, and as 1490 01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,000 Speaker 26: we've talked about before, it's just taking it takes a 1491 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:46,040 Speaker 26: bit longer. Once the first sort of economic stats start 1492 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,080 Speaker 26: looking a bit better. It still takes a while for 1493 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:49,920 Speaker 26: the labor market to turn around. 1494 01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 2: Yep, nice one, Liam, thank you for that great information. 1495 01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 2: Liam Dan as always ended, hero old business edits are 1496 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,880 Speaker 2: at large with us just gone twenty two minutes after 1497 01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,559 Speaker 2: sex those numbers again, So migrant partchures reached the record 1498 01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,560 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty two thy eight hundred for the 1499 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:08,400 Speaker 2: year to January. That's up eighteen percent. Arrivals one hundred 1500 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,840 Speaker 2: and fifty five thousand, three hundred, that's down thirty one percent. 1501 01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 2: So you get your net migration gain of thirty two thousand, 1502 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:17,400 Speaker 2: five hundred, that is for the year two January. Twenty 1503 01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:20,360 Speaker 2: two minutes after six. Now coming up next, we will 1504 01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,680 Speaker 2: go rural, as we always do. We'll go rural with 1505 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,559 Speaker 2: Jamie McKay. He's got an interesting take on this fed 1506 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,280 Speaker 2: Farmer's the fish and Game in Southland. 1507 01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 1: The Rural Report with MSD Animal Health over Nstead It's 1508 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 1: most popular colcolab. 1509 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,559 Speaker 2: Twenty five after six news talks, there'd be Jamie McKay 1510 01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 2: hosted the Countries with Me tonight. Hi, Jamie gooda Ryan. 1511 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,280 Speaker 2: Now this stoush if that's what you call it between 1512 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:48,519 Speaker 2: fed farmers, fish and game in Southland is all getting 1513 01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,920 Speaker 2: a bit much. I saw yesterday there was claims of 1514 01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,559 Speaker 2: was it this morning, claims of bullying, all sorts going 1515 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:53,920 Speaker 2: on here. 1516 01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,559 Speaker 27: Yeah, well this claims claims and county claims. I describe 1517 01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,640 Speaker 27: it as a high noon at the ok Corral. And 1518 01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,840 Speaker 27: the ducks aren't the only thing that might not get 1519 01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 27: or that might get shot down there. Metaphorically of course, Ryan, 1520 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:14,160 Speaker 27: I cover my backside on that one. So look basically 1521 01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,599 Speaker 27: like fair farmers and fish and game have been at 1522 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:21,400 Speaker 27: war for quite a while. A couple of years ago 1523 01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 27: they were encouraging farmers not to let anglers through their properties, 1524 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 27: and now they're fighting over what Southern President of Federated 1525 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:35,600 Speaker 27: Farmers Chason Herrick described as that farmers down there have 1526 01:21:35,680 --> 01:21:38,799 Speaker 27: had an absolute guts full of fish and games, anti 1527 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,880 Speaker 27: farming rhetoric and activism. So what he's suggesting or what 1528 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:46,200 Speaker 27: their latest campaigners they want to see the duck shooters 1529 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 27: or the duck hunters to be more politically correct by 1530 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,920 Speaker 27: their game bird licenses from regions working constructively with farmers, 1531 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:57,320 Speaker 27: and he threw out hawks Bay and Greater Wellington as 1532 01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:01,439 Speaker 27: an example. Now, Jason saying they get five thousand hunters 1533 01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,240 Speaker 27: coming down to Southland for the duck shooting weekend first 1534 01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 27: Saturday in May, and being a Southland and myself Ryan 1535 01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,879 Speaker 27: and owning a duck pond down there, I know exactly 1536 01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,680 Speaker 27: what it's like. And Jason saying it's part of our 1537 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:17,880 Speaker 27: cultural identity. If all these people buy their licenses out 1538 01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,920 Speaker 27: of the region, it will take a fair chunk of 1539 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:24,599 Speaker 27: money away from Southland fishing game. Now the twenty five 1540 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:28,519 Speaker 27: twenty twenty five game bird licenses are on sale now 1541 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 27: they'll cost you one hundred and thirteen dollars and Jason 1542 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,599 Speaker 27: Herricks saying he's not asking shooters not to buy license, 1543 01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 27: just buy them from another region. 1544 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 1: Now. 1545 01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:42,520 Speaker 27: He's also saying Southland fishing game have been unnecessarily obstructive 1546 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:47,280 Speaker 27: in so many areas, like opposing farmers from removing gravel 1547 01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,600 Speaker 27: that's built up to dangerous levels and rivers, and obviously 1548 01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,679 Speaker 27: when they flood it makes it even worse. 1549 01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 8: Now. 1550 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,840 Speaker 27: Also coming to the party is the new Hunting and 1551 01:22:56,960 --> 01:23:00,839 Speaker 27: Fishing Minister and the new South Island Minister James Meagher, 1552 01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 27: who's calling for a de escalation intentions. He's saying relations 1553 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,599 Speaker 27: have become strained and that farmers and fish and game 1554 01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:14,840 Speaker 27: should work happily together. Also, tension has escalated over the 1555 01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 27: duck population down in South They had a very wet spring, 1556 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:23,439 Speaker 27: great survival rates, and there's literally an explosion in the 1557 01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 27: mallard population. They're an introduced species, they're described or they 1558 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,799 Speaker 27: are a pest for especially cropping farmers, and they're munching 1559 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:35,160 Speaker 27: through those crops at the moment. So they're saying fish 1560 01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,679 Speaker 27: and game need to think very carefully about doing something 1561 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:42,240 Speaker 27: about this, such as introducing perhaps the summer autumn shooting season. 1562 01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,960 Speaker 27: Other areas have done it in the past to try 1563 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:46,480 Speaker 27: and reduce that population. 1564 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:51,080 Speaker 2: Interesting. Okay, now you've spoken to Keith Woodford about Fonterra's 1565 01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,120 Speaker 2: plans to sell Mainland today. 1566 01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 27: What's he had to say, Well, Professor Keith Woodford one 1567 01:23:57,200 --> 01:24:01,160 Speaker 27: of the sharpest minds in New Zealand agriculture. Look, he's 1568 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,240 Speaker 27: saying there's a couple of options. One is just to 1569 01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 27: sell it hole as Bowlus to an offshore entity, a 1570 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:11,160 Speaker 27: marketing an international dairy marketer. The other one is to 1571 01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:15,240 Speaker 27: have an IPO, an initial public offering in New Zealand, 1572 01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:18,840 Speaker 27: and he's suggesting Fonterra could still hold a minority shareholding 1573 01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,600 Speaker 27: in this public company, perhaps thirty percent. He says the 1574 01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 27: IPO option under Fonterra's preferred title of Mainland gives all 1575 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,280 Speaker 27: New Zealanders a potential steak in the dairy industry. This 1576 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,759 Speaker 27: would allow Fonterra to retain a window to what's happening 1577 01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 27: at consumer level. 1578 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:36,400 Speaker 8: Now. 1579 01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,599 Speaker 27: Obviously an IPO is more complex than a straight out sale, 1580 01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,600 Speaker 27: but he's suggesting the likes of the National Superfund or 1581 01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:47,280 Speaker 27: ACC could take a cornerstone investment in this and then 1582 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,880 Speaker 27: give Kiwis the opportunity to buy a steak in the 1583 01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,720 Speaker 27: New Zealand dairy industry. Professor Keith Woodford said, it's part 1584 01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,320 Speaker 27: of our national DNA. 1585 01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:57,439 Speaker 15: On which we all depend. 1586 01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:58,840 Speaker 27: So who knows you might be able to get a 1587 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,719 Speaker 27: chunk of Fonterra through this mainland entity at the Cloaks. 1588 01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:04,639 Speaker 2: I think would take a bit of that, wouldn't we. Jamie, 1589 01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 2: thank you. Jamie McKay hosted the Country with Us tonight 1590 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:13,280 Speaker 2: twenty nine minutes after six News talks at Bay. 1591 01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:19,840 Speaker 1: Whether it's macro micro or just playing economics, it's all 1592 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:24,040 Speaker 1: on the business hours with Ryan Bridge and Theirs.

This is the Business Hour and I've got 1600 01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:55,560 Speaker 2: some new numbers for you. This is from This is 1601 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,120 Speaker 2: if you're a renter, great news. If you're the government 1602 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 2: and you've been worried about the price of rentals, then 1603 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,880 Speaker 2: great news for you too. It's getting cheaper. You're paying 1604 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,240 Speaker 2: less now. This is average rents paying less now than 1605 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 2: you were a year ago in Wellington and in Auckland. 1606 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 2: This is according to real estate dot co dot nz 1607 01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:18,840 Speaker 2: so their numbers reckon Wellington has down eight percent since 1608 01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,760 Speaker 2: February twenty twenty four to six hundred and seventy three 1609 01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:25,799 Speaker 2: dollars a week. That is potentially saving you three thousand 1610 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:30,040 Speaker 2: dollars a year if you're in Wellington. Auckland down four 1611 01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:33,600 Speaker 2: point one percent. That is saving you fifteen hundred and 1612 01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:37,320 Speaker 2: sixty dollars. If you are in Auckland Canterbury is steady 1613 01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,360 Speaker 2: down just zero point four to five hundred and eighty 1614 01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,280 Speaker 2: six a week, So that is good news. And remember 1615 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 2: the government argued till they were blue in the face 1616 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,600 Speaker 2: that if they got rid of the landlord tax that 1617 01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:52,960 Speaker 2: the government that previous government had put on the interest deductibility, 1618 01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 2: if they fixed that, that the landlords would have more 1619 01:26:57,040 --> 01:27:00,560 Speaker 2: room to be able to drop rents. Now there's a 1620 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,439 Speaker 2: big argument about whether that is what drives this or 1621 01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:05,720 Speaker 2: whether it's actually just straight out supply and demand. And 1622 01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:09,080 Speaker 2: I tend to land in the latter camp that it's 1623 01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 2: supplying demand that dictates a rent, not government policy. But 1624 01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,960 Speaker 2: certainly the government will claim this you can beat your 1625 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,479 Speaker 2: bottom dollar. They'll do that tomorrow. In a press release 1626 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 2: twenty one away from seven now Rich, the Tesla's share 1627 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,519 Speaker 2: price is a rollercoaster and one to watch. It took 1628 01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,280 Speaker 2: off massively after Trump was elected over in the US, 1629 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,120 Speaker 2: but has since fallen back almost just as far. Sam 1630 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,080 Speaker 2: Dickey from Fisher Funds has done a deep dive for 1631 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:37,040 Speaker 2: us is here now, Hey, Sam ran, good to have 1632 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:40,439 Speaker 2: you on. So why did Tesla's share price shoot up 1633 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,840 Speaker 2: one hundred percent in just a few short months and 1634 01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 2: then why has it come back down fifty percent in 1635 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:46,439 Speaker 2: a few short weeks. 1636 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 28: Yeah, a heck of a wild ride there, Ryan, So 1637 01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:52,280 Speaker 28: it has round trip right back to where it started. 1638 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,439 Speaker 28: It went up for three reasons. So the first one 1639 01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:57,240 Speaker 28: was at the time there was a lot of emerging 1640 01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 28: height about Tesla's atonomous vehicle or robotaxi business and it's 1641 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,880 Speaker 28: humanoid business actually, which we talked about before. But for example, 1642 01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 28: Google and Weimo reached key milestones they'd done forty five 1643 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:12,560 Speaker 28: million rides, and then Musk himself promised to launch his 1644 01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 28: robotaxi in twenty twenty six, claiming ride costs of as 1645 01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:20,400 Speaker 28: low as twenty cents a kilometer, so pretty exciting stuff. 1646 01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:25,439 Speaker 28: The second thing is the extraordinary animal spirits we've talked 1647 01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:29,000 Speaker 28: about a few times, or that retail irrational exuberance generally, 1648 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,599 Speaker 28: and posted children for that with things like meme stocks 1649 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:36,280 Speaker 28: like game Stock stop We're Ripping Again and robin Hood, 1650 01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:39,120 Speaker 28: the retail training platform were up over one hundred percent, 1651 01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,920 Speaker 28: so animal spirits generally, and Tesla was caught up on that. 1652 01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:45,360 Speaker 28: And the third thing was, of course, the Trump romance 1653 01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:48,479 Speaker 28: and its perceived raverified positions sitting inside the federal government's 1654 01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:52,519 Speaker 28: coffers via the Department of Government Efficient, Department of Government Efficiency. 1655 01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:54,280 Speaker 28: So those are the three reasons that went up. And 1656 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,120 Speaker 28: then reality set in. And it's a reminder that despite 1657 01:28:57,160 --> 01:29:01,200 Speaker 28: this excitement about its future prospects around autonomous vehicle, ninety 1658 01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,400 Speaker 28: percent of its profits still come from its core business 1659 01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 28: of selling electric vehicles, and its electric vehicle business had 1660 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,800 Speaker 28: been going backwards. At the same time as its share 1661 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 28: price went up one hundred percent, its earnings were being 1662 01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 28: cut by about thirty percent. So that sort of unsustainable 1663 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:21,320 Speaker 28: equation saw the share price, sorry, the price to earnings 1664 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:25,559 Speaker 28: ratio a key valuation metric, on one hundred and fifty 1665 01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:29,280 Speaker 28: times PE, which for context, the Ford Motor Company trades 1666 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:32,720 Speaker 28: on about seven times PE. So the whole bubble pop, 1667 01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:36,839 Speaker 28: the irrational exuberance from retail event investors hit the skids, 1668 01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:40,040 Speaker 28: and the stock price around trip right back to where 1669 01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 28: it was before Trump got elected. 1670 01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 2: Fascinating, right, isn't it. What's what's going on with the 1671 01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,920 Speaker 2: electric vehicle take up? More broadly, I saw numbers. They 1672 01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:50,200 Speaker 2: were down, I think year to date down forty five 1673 01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,040 Speaker 2: percent Tesla sales in Europe, you know, thirty percent or 1674 01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:55,160 Speaker 2: something in China. It's not been a great ride. 1675 01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,000 Speaker 28: Yeah, not being a great ride for Tesla, and they're 1676 01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,639 Speaker 28: definitely losing market share. I mean, more broadly, EV sales 1677 01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:04,360 Speaker 28: are doing a little bit better. So you and I 1678 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,280 Speaker 28: checked in about a year ago on electric vehicles generally globally, 1679 01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:10,320 Speaker 28: and at that point in time they were growing about 1680 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:13,760 Speaker 28: ten percent. Now, electric vehicle sales sort of month of 1681 01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,519 Speaker 28: the year and a year growing about twenty percent. Are 1682 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 28: pretty healthy, but a couple of things. Their first of 1683 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:23,759 Speaker 28: Tesla's losing market share, partly because of the blowback against 1684 01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:30,360 Speaker 28: against the sort of Trump mask romance, but also generally speaking, 1685 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:33,800 Speaker 28: the penetration of electric vehicles are sort of plateaued in 1686 01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:41,720 Speaker 28: places like China, Europe, and southern United States. So I'd say, 1687 01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:45,800 Speaker 28: generally speaking, evs are going okay, but Tesla's losing market share. 1688 01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:49,599 Speaker 2: And what about you mentioned earlier the autonomous vehicles. What's 1689 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 2: happening with them? Are they taking off? Are they you know, 1690 01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:54,240 Speaker 2: sort of a thing of the past now or like 1691 01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,120 Speaker 2: back to the future that never happened. What's going on? 1692 01:30:58,280 --> 01:30:59,960 Speaker 28: Well, I mean, it's one hundred and fifty billion dollars 1693 01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,960 Speaker 28: industry and is still expected to be about a trillion 1694 01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,679 Speaker 28: dollar industry by the end of the decade, so people 1695 01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,879 Speaker 28: are still pretty bullish. I think there's a few hurdles, 1696 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,600 Speaker 28: of course. So Tesla, for example, is trying to go 1697 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:16,479 Speaker 28: the cheap route by solving full service driver sorry, full 1698 01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:21,160 Speaker 28: fully autonomous driving in a cost efficient manner with cameras only, 1699 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:25,920 Speaker 28: which of course have some safety drawbacks, whereas companies like Weymo, 1700 01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:28,719 Speaker 28: spun It or out of Google are using radars and lighters, 1701 01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:31,840 Speaker 28: which are much more expensive. So weimo autonomous vehicle costs 1702 01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:35,639 Speaker 28: about two hundred thousand dollars, whereas Tesla's proposing to sell 1703 01:31:35,720 --> 01:31:39,360 Speaker 28: these for about thirty thousand. However, is a very unclear 1704 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:43,760 Speaker 28: regulatory framework globally, so the UK peered back Tesla's camera 1705 01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:48,400 Speaker 28: only full service autonomous driving to highways only and favored Weaimo, 1706 01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:52,120 Speaker 28: and half of the US states only permit autonomous vehicle testing. 1707 01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:54,599 Speaker 28: And then of course we've got the very high profile 1708 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:58,280 Speaker 28: crashes that we've all heard about, despite the stats around 1709 01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:02,120 Speaker 28: significantly lower accident rates death rates. So still expected to 1710 01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,599 Speaker 28: be a huge growth industry, but a few hurdles right now. 1711 01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:08,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, I suppose they've got to overcome those regulatory problems. 1712 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 2: What does all this mean for investors? 1713 01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,880 Speaker 28: I think the whole thing's a super interesting lesson, which is, 1714 01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,760 Speaker 28: don't believe the hype and focus on the core fundamentals. 1715 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 28: So you know, occasionally, if the fundamentals of a company 1716 01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,720 Speaker 28: are going well, you can understand why, you know, the 1717 01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:26,840 Speaker 28: share price gets a bit overinflated. But when the hype's 1718 01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:30,680 Speaker 28: going in one direction and that the core fundamentals, as 1719 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:32,599 Speaker 28: as was the case with the tears that were going 1720 01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,240 Speaker 28: in the opposite direction, I think that's something should take 1721 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:38,120 Speaker 28: take note of. But I would say for the brave 1722 01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:41,280 Speaker 28: there was far too much hype and tesla at the peak. 1723 01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 28: But if you are a believer and a long term 1724 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,880 Speaker 28: believer in autonomous vehicles and there I say ad humanoids, 1725 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,639 Speaker 28: well then as that Dost settles the stocks on his knees, 1726 01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:51,400 Speaker 28: now it might be worth another look. 1727 01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:54,559 Speaker 2: Nice one, Sam, Thank you for that, Sam. Dicky Fisher 1728 01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:57,600 Speaker 2: funds with us. According to seven News Talks, they'd be 1729 01:32:57,720 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 2: Indebrady out of the UK next every. 1730 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:03,360 Speaker 1: Day from his sms to the big corporates, the Business 1731 01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:08,080 Speaker 1: Hour with Ryan Bridge and theirs. Insurance and investments, grew 1732 01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:12,320 Speaker 1: your wealth, Protect your future. News Talks vod saying. 1733 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,040 Speaker 2: The seven on News Talks dB in the Brady is 1734 01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:16,160 Speaker 2: our UK correspondent tonight in the Good Evening. 1735 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 15: Hey Ryan, great to speak to you you two. 1736 01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,680 Speaker 2: Now, there's a big debate going on in the UK 1737 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,760 Speaker 2: at the moment. This is should criminals be forced to 1738 01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,960 Speaker 2: go to court and hear the impact of what their 1739 01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:29,880 Speaker 2: crimes have been on families and victims and stuff, or 1740 01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:32,439 Speaker 2: should they be able to you know, tune in remotely 1741 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:33,479 Speaker 2: or not tune in at all. 1742 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:34,920 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1743 01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:38,080 Speaker 15: So this all has happened this week, the debate because 1744 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:41,200 Speaker 15: yet again we've seen another high profile court case end 1745 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:45,320 Speaker 15: with the defendant convicted and deciding that he doesn't want 1746 01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,439 Speaker 15: to leave his cell to hear the victim impact statements. Now, 1747 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,559 Speaker 15: at the end of each court case, the victim's family 1748 01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:55,200 Speaker 15: are allowed to tend court and read out exactly what 1749 01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:58,000 Speaker 15: this person has done to their family and how it 1750 01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,320 Speaker 15: has left them feeling for So it's all to do 1751 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,400 Speaker 15: with a guy called Kyle Clifford. He is known as 1752 01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 15: the Crossbow Killer. For anyone who hasn't followed the case, 1753 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:10,360 Speaker 15: it was summer of last year he was dumped by 1754 01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:14,080 Speaker 15: his girlfriend Louise Hunt, and thirteen days later he bought 1755 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:16,760 Speaker 15: a crossbow. He stabbed her mother to death in the 1756 01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:20,160 Speaker 15: family home. He shot her with the crossbow and raped her, 1757 01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,320 Speaker 15: and he shot her sister. Murdered her sister as well 1758 01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 15: with the crossbow. So three members of that family wiped 1759 01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:29,240 Speaker 15: out by this guy. He'd been online the night before 1760 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:32,240 Speaker 15: watching Andrew tape videos. So you can you know this 1761 01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:36,519 Speaker 15: is the mentality of this guy. Absolutely heenous crime. Now, 1762 01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:38,840 Speaker 15: John Hunt is the father of the family. He's the 1763 01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:42,200 Speaker 15: father of Louise and his other daughter who was murdered, 1764 01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,280 Speaker 15: and he lost his wife in this as well. So 1765 01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,559 Speaker 15: John Hunt went to court to read the victim impact 1766 01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:49,400 Speaker 15: statement and Clifford refused to come out of the cell. 1767 01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:53,599 Speaker 15: So John Hunt, his words will haunt this guy forever ever. 1768 01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:57,200 Speaker 15: He said, I can hear the screams of hell, Kyle. 1769 01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:00,439 Speaker 15: They're waiting for you. They will be roll out the 1770 01:35:00,520 --> 01:35:04,639 Speaker 15: red carpet. That was the concluding paragraph of John Hunt's 1771 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 15: victim impact statement. So big, big talking point here. 1772 01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like it is too. Now this biledal 1773 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,240 Speaker 2: between the Irish and the Americans. Trump said, you know, 1774 01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:17,840 Speaker 2: you're doing some things with text we don't like. But 1775 01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:19,599 Speaker 2: they've kind of come dodged a bullet. 1776 01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:24,559 Speaker 15: Yes, it was amazing really, So we're quite concerned about 1777 01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:29,880 Speaker 15: President Trump because our entire economy depends on the United States, 1778 01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:32,120 Speaker 15: and just for people who haven't followed what Ireland has 1779 01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:35,519 Speaker 15: done in recent years, We've reduced corporation tax down to 1780 01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,639 Speaker 15: twelve and a half percent. We're the only English speaking 1781 01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:43,160 Speaker 15: country in the European Union. And American pharmaceutical and tech 1782 01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:46,760 Speaker 15: companies have piled into Ireland. They're employing a lot of 1783 01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:51,400 Speaker 15: people and they're crucially paying all of their taxes into Ireland. 1784 01:35:51,479 --> 01:35:55,040 Speaker 15: So the biggest taxpayer every year in Ireland is actually Apple. 1785 01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:59,479 Speaker 15: Now Trump has seen the figures, He's seen the massive 1786 01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:03,880 Speaker 15: in trade that based. You know, we take America out 1787 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:06,880 Speaker 15: of the equation and we're in recession. I think there 1788 01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:09,360 Speaker 15: was a lot of apprehension going into the Oval Office 1789 01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:12,719 Speaker 15: for this meeting between our Tea Shock or Prime Minister 1790 01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:15,960 Speaker 15: meehol Martin and President Trump. It's an annual thing to 1791 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:20,000 Speaker 15: mark Saint Patrick's weekend. The t Shock basically goes to Washington, 1792 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:23,439 Speaker 15: d C. And presents whoever the president is with a 1793 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:27,559 Speaker 15: bowl of shamrock. It's been going on for over a century. Trump, 1794 01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:30,240 Speaker 15: we know, has a golf course in the west of Ireland. 1795 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,800 Speaker 15: But incredibly the reporters in the room all asked so 1796 01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:37,439 Speaker 15: many different questions. He didn't really settle his fire and 1797 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:41,599 Speaker 15: his ire on Ireland. So the feeling is that our 1798 01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:44,560 Speaker 15: tea shock, our Prime Minister miehil Martin has kind of 1799 01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 15: dodged a bullet and got out of the White House 1800 01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,439 Speaker 15: in one piece. And you know, having seen out what 1801 01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:52,120 Speaker 15: Zelenski had done to him, there was a lot of 1802 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:55,200 Speaker 15: worry that Trump might decided to dismantle the Irish economy. 1803 01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:59,880 Speaker 2: Thank goodness to you, then quietly, quietly, quietly and then 1804 01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,439 Speaker 2: run for the door.

She's still looking at ours to see whether 1821 01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:56,000 Speaker 2: we might make a move on that.

She's the only opposition MP, non 1826 01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:12,320 Speaker 2: government MP who is speaking there. It'd be really interesting 1827 01:38:12,360 --> 01:38:13,920 Speaker 2: to hear what she has to say because there's a 1828 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:17,320 Speaker 2: couple of areas where labor clearly doesn't agree with what 1829 01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:21,080 Speaker 2: the government's doing. They don't want hospitals being built and 1830 01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:25,519 Speaker 2: being financed by PPPs. They don't want education, you know, 1831 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:31,200 Speaker 2: schools or hospitals basically being funded and financed by PPPs. 1832 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,960 Speaker 2: So what will she say about those things when you've 1833 01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,320 Speaker 2: got the current government saying come and build them and 1834 01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:40,320 Speaker 2: finance them, and then will she stand up and say no? 1835 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:42,479 Speaker 2: And what will that mean for the investors in the room. 1836 01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:45,559 Speaker 2: So lots to talk about tomorrow here on News Talk SEBB. 1837 01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:47,800 Speaker 2: What are we going out to tonight? Ance? 1838 01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 29: This is message in a bottle by the police. I've 1839 01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:53,320 Speaker 29: got some news about Sting. It looks like he's on 1840 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,720 Speaker 29: the end, which is good. Sting had to pull out 1841 01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:57,120 Speaker 29: of a bunch of concerts he was going to do 1842 01:38:57,160 --> 01:38:59,400 Speaker 29: at the tail end of January because he had a 1843 01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 29: throat in fiction, which you know, obviously kind of a 1844 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:05,719 Speaker 29: problem with your ast singer generally speaking. But he's appeared 1845 01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:07,960 Speaker 29: in public for the first time since he canceled those shows. 1846 01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:10,320 Speaker 29: He has showed up at a charity event, didn't have 1847 01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:13,480 Speaker 29: to do any singing. But the shows have been rescheduled 1848 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:15,280 Speaker 29: for like later in the year. So it seems like 1849 01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:17,080 Speaker 29: this isn't going to be a permanent issue. That's just 1850 01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:19,719 Speaker 29: a temporary one. He's seventy three, but yeah, still performing. 1851 01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:23,080 Speaker 2: So there you go, Ghosting.
