1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: So I've read the latest KPIs for the government. I'll

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: have you know things that they're doing or going to

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: do before the end of the year. Drag this dump

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: out of the quagmire would have been my number one.

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: But theirs is to introduce new planning legislation to replace

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: the ROMA, which is no bad thing. But introducing stuff

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: isn't the same as ticking stuff off, is it? And

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: in this list, which is thirty three things long, is

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: part of this government's image issue. You most likely won't

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: have read or seen the thirty three because it's a

11
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: good example of the new cycle or our attention spanner

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: a bit of both. Remember when they first came out

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: mass coverage a government with all to doodlest that was

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: novel things you could see and come back later and

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: check whether it had actually happened. It was very business like.

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: You may also remember that mainly they get done. Other

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: government has roughly achieved what they set out to do,

18
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: so as an exercise and discipline, it deserves some sort

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: of recognition. But and here's the problem, a cheaper power

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 1: bill and an annual surplus might have been actually more

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: used to most of us. So several quarters and lists

22
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: have come and gone. By that, I mean mainly the

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: media we appear to have lost interest are the latest

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: list as far as I can tell, and I do

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: quite a little bit of looking as virtually nowhere to

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: be seen. Further, it starts to look like a list,

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: and this is the problem with lists. It starts to

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: look like a list that has stuff in it that

29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: is a mix of indecipherable, nonspecific and or part of

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: a sort of an ongoing broad based thought bubble. Good

31
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: example number three past legislation to allow granny flats to

32
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: be built without consent. Perfect, simple, clear, tick the box.

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: But what about fifteen Begin the hospitality sector review? I mean,

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: is forecasting the start of a look it's something a

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: thing twenty Take cabinet policy decision on options to provide

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: more tools to address anti social behavior. Take a decision

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: for tools for behavior. I mean, come on, that's stacking

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: a list. That's whiteboards and blue skies and boring meetings.

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: We've got an economic shambles on our hands, and you've

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: got and your hot fourth quarter take is some tools

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: for behavior. Maybe one of the KPIs in the first

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: quarter could have been let's not make except for futurists,

43
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: so they looked like we ran out of stuff to do.
