Vladimir Putin has 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: been meeting with Belarus's leader Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow and 21 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 2: he says it will be good for Ukraine to achieve 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: a thirty day ceasefire, saying that Russia is in favor 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: of it. However, he says they need to negotiate with 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,279 Speaker 2: the Americans, including a possible phone call with President Trump. 25 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 2: At Donald Trump's envoy Steve wickcoffers in Mexico, I'm sorry, 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: Moscow is a moscow to meet with Putin for talks 27 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: on the deal. 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: We agree with the proposal to ces hostilities, but we 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 3: have to bear in mind that this says far must 30 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: be dolgas aimed at a long lasting piece, and it 31 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: must look at the root causes of the crosis. 32 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: Well, it's nice to hear from Ladimir. You can say 33 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: that at least right the trade war and the escalation 34 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: is slowing down anytime soon now. Donald Trump has threatened 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: a two hundred percent tariff on alcohol from EU countries 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 2: unless it stops a fifty percent tariff on whiskey shares 37 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: in Some European alcohol producers have already fallen after the threat. 38 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 4: Whatever they charge us, we're charging them. Nobody can complain 39 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 4: about that. Whatever it is, it doesn't even matter. 40 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 5: What it is. 41 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 4: If they charge us, If they charge us twenty five, 42 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 4: twenty percent, ten percent or two percent or two hundred percent, 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 4: then that's what we're charging them. And so I don't 44 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: know why people get upset about that, because there's nothing 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: more fairer than that. 46 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: And to Australia, where their Prime Minister Anthony Alberizi has 47 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 2: been the latest to criticize a US influencer who posted 48 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: a video of her taking a wild baby wom bat 49 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: away from its distressed mother. The woman, Sam Jones, who 50 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: calls herself an outdoor enthusiast and hunter, was filmed picking 51 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: up the joey by the road, running across to a 52 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: car while his mother ran after them, and man filming 53 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: can be heard laughing, you're making jokes. 54 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 5: Is to take a baby wombat from its mother and 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 5: clearly causing distress from the mother is just an outrage. 56 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 5: And you know, I suggest that this so called influencer 57 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 5: maybe she might try some other Australian animals take a 58 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 5: baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there? 59 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: And isn't one bat such a satisfying word to say? 60 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: It's ten out five. 61 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: News and views you trust to start your day. It's 62 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof make your 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: property search simple. 64 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 6: New thoughts. 65 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: It'd be goodbody to you and thank you for choosing us. Look, 66 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: I really don't get the fluoride debate. I've had fluoride 67 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: in my water ever since I arrived in Auckland at 68 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: the age of two. I have had no so called 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: side effects. My teeth are in a lot better shape 70 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: than my grandparents. It seems to me to be a 71 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: health intervention that works. It's been looking for a long 72 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: time and scientists keep telling me that that's all true. 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: But a fluoride battle has broken out in fung Array. 74 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: They've chosen not to fluoridate, while Health New Zealand says 75 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: you must. Now the High Court is involved. Furthermore, it's 76 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: all got political, as New Zealand First leader Winston Peters 77 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: has described, ordering fung Array to fluoridate its water supply 78 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: is a despotic Soviet era disgrace. So I understand that 79 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: some people view their body as a temple and they 80 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: don't like chemicals in their water supply or chemicals in 81 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: their bread. But then again, chemicals are everywhere and you 82 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 2: are ingesting them through your mouth, your lungs and other 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: holes in your body. And there's so much science and 84 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 2: so much empirical data about fluoride that I just don't 85 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: get the uproar. And I didn't appreciate Winston Peters who 86 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,119 Speaker 2: could spot a headline grabbing contrarian view a mile away 87 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: knowing that there might be a vote in it. So 88 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: this whole rear guard action being undertaken by fung Array 89 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: seems to me to be a waste of ratepayers money 90 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: and of counselor's time. It's twelve half to five right now. 91 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: Here's atruism. There's always inflation. Nothing ever goes down in 92 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 2: the battle of against inflation. The debate is always how 93 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: much is going to go up? And inflation is core 94 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: conquered if it doesn't go up too much. But it's 95 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: always there. The latest inflation is the price of SkyTV. 96 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: Sky is to lift the price of its sports package 97 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: by twelve percent in May. The package will go from 98 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: forty two dollars a month to forty seven bucks. And 99 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: this is after a similar price rise in February of 100 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. So we are in a period of 101 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: sports rights inflation. Headline sports are doing well, that's attracting 102 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: eyeballs as we seek to distract ourselves from all the 103 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: awful stuff around us. And look at all the hype 104 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: over this weekend's Melvin Grand Prix. We're talking about that 105 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 2: in the moment. Association football is rising in this country. 106 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: Look at the attendances for AUCKLANDEFC League seems are parennally 107 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 2: popular despite it never being the Warrior's year. Super Rugby's 108 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: enjoying a purple patch. So we like to watch the sports, 109 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: but it all costs, particularly as other players stick their 110 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 2: nos in liked zone, which is ferreting around the rugby rights. 111 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: We don't realize in this country just how easy it 112 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: has been having Sky so dominant in sports coverage. One 113 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: sub to watch them all. But those days are changing 114 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: and I feel a subscription audit coming on because there 115 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: comes a limit. It's thirteen minutes after five. So if 116 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: you're an international student, you come to the New Zealand 117 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: and you have to do a compulsory course in learning 118 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: how to live in this country, and most of it 119 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: is all about ti kanga maori or you know how 120 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: Mali like to undertake stuff. It costs a lot of 121 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: money and there's a bit of Argibardi about it from 122 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: the ACT Party. We're going to talk about this in 123 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: a few moments time with a student's association president, just 124 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: to see whether this is a rout, whether this is necessary, 125 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: and whether it's turning off international students. This is News 126 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: Talks at. 127 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: B the news you need this morning and the in 128 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: depth analysis early edition with Andrew Dickens and one roof 129 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: Make Your Property Search Simple News Talk SIBB. 130 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: It's sixteen out of five reaction to the breaking news 131 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: that Putin has talked. Textas says Putin is the root 132 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: cause of the underlying crisis and he won't live up 133 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: to the end of his deal. He's a two face 134 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: backstaving serial killer. I thought USA policy was we do 135 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: not negotiate with terrorists, which Putin definitely is. Thank you 136 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: for your text and another person rights. Do you think 137 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: Trump will get any praise for ending this war? I 138 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: doubt any media will. Well no, if it's fair and equitable, 139 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: he definitely will. And can I say he's already achieved 140 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 2: more than anyone else Right ACT Parties palme Jit palm 141 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: Mah has called for Auckland UNI to scrap a wipe 142 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: up a tomato course now what's that in English? It's 143 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: a course that teaches us about New Zealand life and 144 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 2: traditional knowledge to international students. Seven thousand of them have 145 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: been forced to do the course in twenty twenty five. 146 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: It's compulsory and here is the rub. It's expensive. It 147 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 2: costs five seven hundred and thirty dollars. So I got 148 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: the president with the of the Yakland University Students Association 149 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: with me right now, Gabriel Boyd, welcome to the showmate, A. 150 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 7: Thank you for having men Joe. 151 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: Why is this thing so expensive and why is it mandatory? 152 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 7: I think it's a little unfair to single out the 153 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 7: WTR course being particularly expensive. It's pretty in line with 154 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 7: the standard prices for international students, which they're well aware 155 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 7: of before they come to the University of Auckland. And 156 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 7: even with those prices, we're still by far the most 157 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 7: attended university by international students, which hasn't been changing. And 158 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 7: why is it mandatory? It's an essential knowledge course for 159 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 7: all incoming first years. I don't set the course requirements 160 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 7: for students, but looking at the course description and the 161 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 7: course reviews of the science class that was piloted last year, 162 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 7: it was incredibly popular with the first year students. 163 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: Does this happen in universities around the world or is 164 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: this just a New Zealand thing. 165 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 7: This being teaching cultural competency. 166 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think it does happen around the world. Obviously, 167 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 8: it is going to be university specific as to which 168 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 8: what localized to knowledge is taught. I think part of 169 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 8: what makes New Zealand so special is the focus that 170 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 8: we do have on indigenous studies, coming from the United States, 171 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 8: where our indigenous populations are largely ignored. I think this 172 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 8: is the course I would have loved as a first 173 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 8: year and I would have gotten a lot more out 174 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 8: of it than my genet which I just took the 175 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 8: easy course option. 176 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 2: Even though it would have cost you five thousand, seven 177 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty dollars extra on top of what you're 178 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 2: already paying, and already international students are paying a lot, so. 179 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 7: Again, it is replacing a jed ed requirement which they 180 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 7: would also be paying a similar amount for. So this 181 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 7: isn't going to add another five seven hundred on top 182 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 7: of what they were already paying. 183 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 2: So you believe that this is going to increase and 184 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: enhance the university's reputation or will it infect turn international 185 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 2: students away. 186 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 7: I can't say for sure what it'll do. Obviously we're 187 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 7: piloting the full roll out this year, or the university 188 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 7: is piloting the full roll out this year. I would 189 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 7: hope it would be appealing to international students, many of 190 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 7: whom do want to learn about New Zealand, even if 191 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 7: they're only here just for their degree. But I guess 192 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 7: we'll see with time. 193 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: All right, Gabriel, I thank you for your time. More 194 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: on This is the Mike Hosking Breakfast Show with leader 195 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: David Seymour talking about this text already from Adrian. It's 196 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: a ripoff. Come on, we all know it and someone 197 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: else is. Of course, these students coming should be given 198 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 2: the option. Why is it mandatory? 199 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 9: Good question? 200 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: How will Liam Lawson do? That's another good question which 201 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: we'll try and answer the next here on News Talks. 202 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: Here'b it's five twenty the first. 203 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: Word on the News of the Day Early edition with 204 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your Property Search Simple 205 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: News Talks. 206 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 2: It'd be twenty two. It's the Formula one Grand Prix 207 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: and Melbourne this weekend and our own Liam Lawson is 208 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: on debut. It's his first Grand Prix in the main 209 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: seat instead of driving in somebody else's car. He's driving 210 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 2: for red Ball and he's been on the telly this week. 211 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 10: It's more excitement than anything. More excited for this and 212 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 10: I've been really for anything. It's quite a hard track 213 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 10: this weekend. It's meant to be thirty eight degrees on Saturday, 214 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 10: which to start the year like that is quite tough. 215 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 10: Like normally we go to those races later in the 216 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 10: year and it's you sort of a bit more race 217 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 10: fit for that because you've done a lot of Grand Prix. 218 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 10: But to start the year with a really high downforced track, 219 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 10: high G track, hot it's going to be very, very tough. 220 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: So motors Boar commentator James Allen, we had a New 221 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: York right now, Hella, James, Hey, how you doing this? 222 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 2: I'm doing great. This hypeer is huge, this event to 223 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 2: sell out and Liam seems to be the center of attention. 224 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 2: How are you expecting him to go? 225 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 11: It's a really good question. I mean, you know, there's 226 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 11: no question he's got the talent. He's definitely earned his opportunity. 227 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 11: He's been very, very patient over the last couple of years. 228 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 11: I was incredibly impressed with him. When he deputized for 229 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 11: Daniel Ricardo at the back end of twenty twenty three. 230 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 11: He put in some stunning performances, particularly remember one in Japan. 231 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 11: I think you and I spoke around that time actually 232 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 11: about it, and he showed he's got the minerals. As 233 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 11: Mark Webber would say, to cut it at the top 234 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 11: end of a Formula one, so as I say, he's 235 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 11: had to be very patient, and that doesn't mean just 236 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 11: doing nothing and kicking his heels. He's obviously been able 237 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 11: to get on the simulator a lot of these. What 238 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 11: makes these young drivers ready and so prepared nowadays is 239 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 11: they have the time at the race track, at the 240 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 11: race factory, team factory to get on the simulators which 241 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 11: are very very realistic, and really learn how everything works, 242 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 11: how the controls work, and how to improve the car. 243 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 11: Of course, it's not the real thing, it's not the 244 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 11: same as the real thing, but the best drivers are 245 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 11: able to narrow the gap between the virtual world and 246 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 11: the real world. And so a lot of Liam's preparation 247 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 11: is there, and I'm sure he'll do fine this season. 248 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 11: I wouldn't judge him too much on how he performs 249 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 11: his first time out in the big team, as you 250 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 11: put it, because Melbourne is a unique circuit, has very 251 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 11: very strange characteristics and it doesn't reflect anything really of 252 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 11: the season ahead. It's just a great place to start 253 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 11: the new Season's colorful, it's a huge crowd. The Aussies 254 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 11: love their and the Kiwis love their racing. But I 255 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 11: think you know, you judge him after three or four 256 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 11: races as to how he's getting on. 257 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: What I loved about the quote that I just played 258 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: is that he already knows exactly what's ahead of him. 259 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: He knows it's going to be hot, he knows there's 260 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: lots of heavy breaking in the whole thing. He knows 261 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: it's going to be very, very physical. So the question 262 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: is do you think he's fit and really enough for it? 263 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 7: Oh? 264 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, these guys, like I said before, you know 265 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 11: he's one of I mean, I still think Liam's a rookie. 266 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 11: He'd done twelve races, but he's not done a whole season, 267 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 11: and in my book, that makes him still a rookie. 268 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 11: And you've got six rookies in the field this year. 269 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 11: It's unprecedented. Why is twenty twenty five the year that 270 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 11: Formula One trusts in rookies for the reasons I just 271 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 11: said that they are so well prepared now in the 272 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 11: virtual world and with testing the two year old cars 273 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 11: that they can come in. Oliver behn And jumped into 274 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 11: the Ferrari in Saudi Arabia last year with no practice 275 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 11: and finished seventh in the Grand Prix. That made everybody 276 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 11: in Formula One, the team bosses look it again and say, 277 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 11: hang on a second, We've got this great talent in 278 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 11: are cheaper, you don't have to pay them as much money. 279 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 11: And so you've seen people like Botas leaving the sport, 280 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 11: the more experienced drivers who cost more and perhaps past 281 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 11: their peak, and they're bringing in these rookies who are faster, exciting, 282 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 11: and Liam is right amongst them, and it's up to 283 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 11: him now to show he's obviously got the most along 284 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 11: with Antonelli and the Mercedes. He's the rookie with the 285 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 11: most competitive car in the field, and I think you 286 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 11: have to judge him as a rookie, not as someone 287 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 11: who's going to go toe to toe with probably the 288 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 11: best driver in the world right now. His teammate match 289 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 11: for Staffan if Liam's smart, he'll just focus on himself 290 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 11: and not worry about what Steffan's doing. 291 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: Great stuff, and I thank you James James Allen joining 292 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: us about a sport commentator. It appears as though New 293 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: Zealanders also in the headlines because McLaren at the moment 294 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: we know Bruce McLaren has a really good car, and 295 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: Lando Norris appears to be on fire. It's going to 296 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: be a great weekend. This is Newstalks it B. It's 297 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: five twenty six. 298 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: The early edition All the Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 299 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: by Newstalks it. 300 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: B Newstalks it B. It is now five twenty eight. 301 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: So Barbara Edmunds from the Labor Party, the Finance spokesperson, 302 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: is in front of the Investment conference today representing the 303 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: Labor Party who may or may not be in charge 304 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: of Treasury benches in the future. Now the conference will 305 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: be waiting to see if Labor is on the infrastructure bus, 306 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: if they will support the projects the National League government 307 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: are into and proposing right now, and if they're on 308 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: board with foreign investments in our infrastructure plans. Barbara's is 309 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: actually the critical address of the weekend, because yesterday we 310 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: heard The big concern is pipelines, the pipelines of work overseas. 311 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 2: Investors don't want to set up shop in New Zealand 312 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: for a project only to find that we back out 313 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: later and there's no more work for them, leaving them 314 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: with a big investment and nowhere to go. And to 315 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: be fair, National has done that with the cancelation of 316 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: big projects like the ferries. Labor also did it with 317 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: a moratorium on road development. So look, it is time 318 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: for a bipartisan accord on what we need to do 319 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: in this country. But that will be hard to find 320 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: as our parties have used infrastructure as a way to 321 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 2: differentiate between themselves and that's done. For instance, roads are 322 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: neither left wing nor right wing. Labour's anti road sentiment 323 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: has been based on faulty logic. Somehow they think that 324 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: building roads means more missions, which is ridiculous. It means 325 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: the same emissions but on bad roads. In fact, it 326 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: means more emissions as traffic gets stalled. A good road 327 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: is an efficient road, and an efficient road helps with 328 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: both emissions and productivity. And I wonder whether the Labor 329 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: Party sees this. So today all eyes on Barbara to 330 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: see if she's logical or ideological. 331 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens all. 332 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: Right, Putin has spoken just a few moments ago, and 333 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 2: he's in support of this.

I'm 347 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 2: Andrew Dickens and for Ryan Bridge. You made it now. 348 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: A couple of warnings for you. 349 00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 9: First. 350 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 2: Cameron Bagriy, the economist, is warning that the drums are 351 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 2: beating for a credit rating downgrade. Writing a business desk, 352 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: he says it's been coming for a while. He also 353 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: says it's not something to be worried about. He considers 354 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 2: it a margin of excellence tweak. Now S and P 355 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 2: have already downgraded credit ratings for local authorities. Cameron reckins 356 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: it will be ironic if we got one. Given the 357 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: ballooning debt levels and so many other OECD nations such 358 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: as the United States and the UK, everybody's in the 359 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: same boat. But that's here. If it does happen, it 360 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: we'll have repercussions on our debt repayments, making life more 361 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: expensive for a government that prides itself on getting on 362 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: top of the cost of living crisis. So we'll wait 363 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: to see what happens there. And here is a friendly reminder, 364 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: your local opshop is not a tip. An Orcand woman 365 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 2: could face a four hundred dollars fine after Augand Council's 366 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: CCTV cameras caught a leaving a box of donations outside 367 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 2: an opshop a charity store, unaware that out of opening 368 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 2: ours donations are considered dumping. Galena from Meadow Bank is 369 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 2: monthly donated to the GLEAR in a Salvation Army family store, 370 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 2: and at the end of February she left a box 371 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: of glassware and some clothes in a shopping bag on 372 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 2: a ledge next to the store entrance, out of the way. 373 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 2: She said, it wasn't dumped, it wasn't in the walking area, 374 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 2: and it wasn't a mess. But that's not the point 375 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: Galina from Meta Bank. When you dump like that, stuff 376 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: gets nicked, stuff ends out strewn across the footpath. And honestly, Gallina, 377 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: who really wants some glassware that's spent the night on 378 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 2: the street. So here's the morning. Don't do it. There 379 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 2: are rules and consequences are four hundred dollars fine. And 380 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: also you should consider if your stuff actually has any value. Frankly, 381 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: glassware does not. Holy shirts do not. So drop your 382 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: stuff off during shop hours and do not be offended 383 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: if the shop doesn't actually want your crap. After all, 384 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: you're throwing it out, so why would anyone want it? 385 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 2: The op shop is out of dump and the people 386 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: there are not refuse workers, sickens. It's twenty one to six. 387 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: Let's go right around the country.

The costs spread over seventy five years. It 404 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 12: won't necessarily fall on ratepayers, and consultation begins in the 405 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 12: coming weeks.

What's going down. 503 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 6: Well, we're having to decrypt what exactly I Vladimir Putin means. 504 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 6: In the past twenty four hours, he's visited the Cursk 505 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 6: region of Russia, which has been held for several months 506 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 6: by Ukrainian forces, but they seem to be struggling to 507 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 6: keep the territory. Putin appeared very rarely for him, addressed 508 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 6: in military uniform, saying that now Russia had control of 509 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 6: its own territory. This was thought to be a sort 510 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 6: of key bargaining chip that Zelensky had in negotiations for 511 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 6: territory which Russia controls. Now, what we've heard in this 512 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 6: press conference, we know that this US envoy, having got 513 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 6: agreement from the Ukrainian team, was on its way to 514 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 6: moss Putin has said that he agrees with peace proposal, 515 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 6: but says it needs to lead to an enduring peace. 516 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 6: There was some sort of diplomatic circus sire acts going 517 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 6: on in this press conference, talking about the need to 518 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 6: make sure the underlying causes of the crisis are resolved 519 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 6: for that enduring peace, So it'll be up to the 520 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 6: Trump team to try to unpick what exactly that means. 521 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 6: But for now, the bombardment between the two nations continues, 522 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,199 Speaker 6: big strikes on Moscow this week by the Ukrainians. 523 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 2: It's such a process, isn't it. You have to negotiate 524 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 2: the negotiations, then you have to negotiate a ceasefire, and 525 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: then you can go and negotiate a possible lasting peace. 526 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: Is Putin asking for too much too soon? 527 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 6: Well, I think he feels pretty emboldened at this point. 528 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 6: He's drawn barely a word of condemnation from the Trump 529 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 6: administration versus the treatment that presidents Lensky and the Ukrainians 530 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 6: have faced. That's always worth reistrating that if Bladimir Putin 531 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 6: wanted to end this today tomorrow, he could do. He 532 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 6: could pull his forces out. It was his fault. He 533 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 6: invaded the territory, it was an act of war. They've 534 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 6: committed war crimes in the territory. So maybe once PC 535 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 6: he could simply pull his troops back. But he's not 536 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 6: doing that, So we'll see where this goes now. 537 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 2: Now, Meanwhile, Donald Trump has written the EU with a 538 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 2: two hundred percent tariff. It's a big number. It's on alcohol. 539 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. So the EU was hit earlier in 540 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 6: this week by the latest round of Trump tariffs, particularly 541 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 6: on steel and aluminium are twenty five percent tariff. They 542 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 6: got hit by that, so they have struck back with 543 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 6: sort of retaliatory tariffs, but particularly citing sort of US 544 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 6: good So those were for instance, Harley Davidson motorbikes and 545 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 6: Bourbon of course, which is you know, American whiskey. So 546 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 6: the Donald Trump has now sort of responded to that 547 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 6: particular front saying he's going to put a two hundred 548 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 6: percent tariff on alcohol from EU countries and of course 549 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 6: that will be you know, wines from France and Italy, 550 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 6: champagne as well, spirits. I mean, it would be absolutely drastic, 551 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 6: so the prices of those products which are big EU exports, 552 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 6: but also there is you know, high demand and great 553 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 6: love for in America as well. 554 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, and I thank you for your time today. 555 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: Vincent mcavenie bringing the time to ten to six. 556 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: Andrew Dickens. 557 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: All right, it is the last day of the Investment 558 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 2: Conference where the Government has been trying to impress foreign 559 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: investors at the summit. We had some announcements already doing 560 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: up christ Jurich Men's prison, maybe building some new courthouses 561 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 2: the Northern Expressway. They're asking for registrations of interest theres. 562 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: The Italians are quite interested. It all wraps up today 563 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: and Jason Walls is covering it. Are you there? 564 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 16: I am indeed. Good morning, Andrew. 565 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: I mean, are you there at the conference? 566 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 16: Oh right, not quite yet. I'm heading along later this morning, 567 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 16: but yes, I'll be there today. 568 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 2: How do you think it's going? 569 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 14: You know, it's hot. 570 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 11: I'll tell you what. 571 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 16: It's hard for us to kind of say. We're locked 572 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 16: in a little room. I think little media room is 573 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 16: actually quite a nice media room, but we're locked in there, nonetheless, 574 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 16: and we can't actually get access to the delegates or 575 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 16: anybody on the floor of the actual venue. We have 576 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 16: this little TV screen that we watch everything going in from. 577 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 16: But we get ministers coming in fairly regularly to give 578 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 16: us little updates of how things are going, and you know, 579 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 16: it does seem to be going well. We've had a 580 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 16: couple of investors come in and tell us how keen 581 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 16: they are to invest in New Zealand assets. We had 582 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 16: the Italians come in, for example, and say that they're 583 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 16: keen on the Northern Expressway. So you know, it's looking 584 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 16: good for the government in terms of the amount of 585 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 16: investment they're going to receive. Chris lux And telling us 586 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 16: yesterday he's expecting all he's hoping for tens of billions 587 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 16: of dollars worth of investments. So we'll have to wait 588 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 16: to see if the proof is in the pudding. 589 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and the one thing that came out of yesterday 590 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: is that all foreign investors are worried about the pipeline 591 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 2: of work. They don't want to sit up shop here 592 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 2: and then run out of work and then have to 593 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 2: re trench and leave the place again. And so the 594 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 2: big question about that is what Barbara Edmund, the Labor 595 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: for that spokesperson, is going to say today and whether 596 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: she supports a pipeline of work. 597 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 16: Well, it's going to be interesting to see what Labour 598 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 16: say because they've already come out and said that they 599 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 16: don't support public private partnerships and places like prisons. And 600 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 16: that's a big deal because obviously the government wants work 601 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 16: to be done in those areas and one of the 602 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 16: big themes in the summit is bipartisanship. In the past, 603 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 16: we've had so much shopping and changing of governments, and 604 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 16: it means that key infrastructure projects are being green lit 605 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 16: and then cut, and then green lit again and then cut. 606 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 16: And that's just not very good for business consistency. So 607 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 16: having labor there is good because it means that there 608 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 16: is some sort of semblance of consistency to say that 609 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 16: that both parties are going to be working together for 610 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 16: the long term to get these in infrastructure pipeline developed. 611 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 2: All right, well, Jason, we look forward to your coverage today. 612 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 2: We look forward to hearing what Barbara Edmond has to say, 613 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: and let's hope something works from all of this and 614 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 2: this news talks here B is coming up seven minutes to. 615 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: Six on your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition 616 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: with Andrew Dickens and one roof Make Your Property Search 617 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: Simple Youth Talk, said B. 618 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 2: It's five to six. Dave sent me a text after 619 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: Adam and I talked about Seahard briefly at Homegrown this 620 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 2: weekend that Dave says, I'm going to miss Sheehart, but 621 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 2: the concert area for them is far too small at Homegrown, 622 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 2: which is their very last concert in their hometown, and 623 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: so Dave sees crowd issues and Dave says it should 624 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: have been at the TSB Arena, and I think I 625 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,959 Speaker 2: have to agree with you. I mean, tonight they play Spark. 626 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: They've sold that out, twelve thousand tickets, biggest gig they've 627 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 2: ever done, and I'm sure they could have sold out 628 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: the TSB. But still farewell to Seahard and Mike Hoskin 629 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: joins me, and you're talking to John Tug. 630 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 9: Yeah, I am. He's a nice guy, isn't it.

That means you've never heard them better? 638 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 9: What does that mean? 639 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 2: That means? 640 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 9: Okay, well you're saying it.

I don't know if you 649 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 9: followed the story, but it's sort of there are two 650 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 9: stories in one. So there's a health crisis in this country. 651 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 9: There was a report out a week and a bit ago, 652 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 9: right Deloitte wrote at seventy seven pages, and what it 653 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,959 Speaker 9: says is like so worrying.
