Some good news on 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: New Zealand ink one, Kiwi fruits booming and we seem 6 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: to have some genius going on with methane co two 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 2: and biomass. Also the Polkinghorn verdict. Did the coppers blow 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 2: it at the Star Witness the PM does Tuesdays. We've 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 2: got to look at the lark and genius of Warren 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: and money as in the architecture. Joe's in Europe for 11 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: us and Rob is doing the business out of the UK. Hosking, Tuesday, 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: seven past six. 13 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 3: Now. 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 2: A couple of things interested me with the governments back 15 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: to work edict yesterday. One we need a back to 16 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: work edict and the fact we didn't have one till 17 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: now and two, not surprisingly sadly, the admission no one 18 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: knows what the hell's going on? Who is where? What 19 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 2: percentage of time people aren't there, are there when they are, 20 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: or aren't compared with any other piece of the public service. 21 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: What are mickey mouse shambles? The Australians have crunched the numbers. 22 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: The savings. I told you this the other day. The 23 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: savings for individuals in terms of money not spent is 24 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 2: in the tens of billions of dollars per year per state. 25 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: They of course have had return to work notices for 26 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: a while now, although I know New South Wales only 27 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: did their public workers a couple of weeks back. Saving 28 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 2: money by not dealing with traffic is probably an upside 29 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: to working at home, right, And I've always thought that 30 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: this business of teamwork and camaraderie is a bit overstated, 31 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: and if not overstated, it certainly hard to prove. You 32 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: can prove what you save not going to work, a 33 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 2: bit harder to show what outworkings have been achieved by 34 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: all hanging around the kitchen together. The other odd thing 35 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: has been my naivety. I honestly thought we had it 36 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: sorted ages ago. I assume I assumed we had a 37 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: policy in place. Obviously, Wellington's a mess, but working from 38 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 2: home is only part of the equation. I mean, the 39 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: clowns who run the city are more responsible, surely, with 40 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: their determination to destroy any signs of livability. And also, 41 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: don't forget for every coffee that isn't bought in Lampton Key, 42 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: this one being purchased in places like Eastbourne anyway. The 43 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: skiving's over another of these lenient take the mickey out 44 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: of the COVID year's ideas has been brought to an end, 45 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: or will be shortly. But you've got to wonder about 46 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: the government, don't you. All the privates had this sortid 47 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: ages ago. But good old dumpy Doo Wellington, no policy, 48 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: no decisions. Everyone's at home for a good long weekend, 49 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: all pretending its business as usual. Well, the jig is 50 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: up and on balance, as hard as a park might 51 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: be defined or a bus to catch. I think we 52 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: are better off in general at work than at home 53 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: pretending it's normal. 54 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds, right. 55 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: More updates Zelenski's in America tell you more shortly. But 56 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: in the Middle East, the Israelis are back big time 57 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: into Lebanon. 58 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 4: His Rais had. 59 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 5: Carried out more than three hundred hour strikes, predominantly across 60 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 5: southern Lebanon at the moment, killing, according to the Lebanese 61 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 5: Health Ministry, more than one hundred people. And we assume 62 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: that civilians are among the. 63 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: Dad and after they bomb they spin. 64 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 6: Krisbela endangers the people of Lebanon. They use civilian civilians 65 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 6: as human shields to hide its weaponry and carry out 66 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 6: attacks against his than from within that country. 67 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: So tired the blake the rounded up outside the golf 68 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: course looking to cause cannage the other day it turns 69 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: out to have been stalking Trump for a month and 70 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: also turns out he had a litter on them. 71 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 7: It does state very queerly in this letter addressed to 72 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 7: quote the world saying that this was an assassination attempt 73 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 7: on Donald Trump. Ruth is currently only facing there's two 74 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 7: gun charges. 75 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: Being a bunch of stuff on following in the UK 76 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: one the nurses are going on strike again. 77 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 8: It is always something that we have in our toolkit, 78 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 8: but what we really want to do. We know that 79 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 8: patients have had enough. At the moment, the satisfaction in 80 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 8: the NHS is the lowest in its history. We do 81 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 8: want to be part of that solution. 82 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: Should we ban the term talkkit to the government are 83 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: having the first post election conferences is the one where 84 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: you blame the last lot for all your trouble. 85 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 9: You'll hear many things that their conference next week, but 86 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 9: you won't hear an apology. No apology for the cost 87 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 9: of your mortgage, no apology for crumbling classrooms and rising 88 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 9: waiting lists, apology for mismanaging our public finances. 89 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: And three training a lot. And this poor woman got flooded, 90 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: so she rang insurance. 91 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 10: I've got no idea how much it's going to cost. 92 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 10: But we have found out that there's a clause in 93 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 10: our insurance that doesn't cover us for flood so we're 94 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 10: not insured. So I don't I don't know, I don't 95 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 10: haven't even I don't even want to think about it. 96 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: No, I don't blame it. Finally, they're anticipating records to 97 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: be broken in New York when Christie's puts up a 98 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: Margrite for sale. Rene Magriet is famous for exploring light 99 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: in the sky above a darkened scene. They did twenty 100 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: twenty two one of the pieces Soul, for one hundred 101 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: and twenty seven million. This was at Southby's, the latest one, 102 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: which is spectacular. By the way, look it up. It's 103 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: expected to be about one hundred and fifty one million. 104 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: It'll be a boost to the market which is soft 105 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: right now. And once you've looked up the picture listened to, this. 106 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 11: Can you choose. 107 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: He did several versions of this. The latest was an 108 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 2: album called In the Blue White, where he took some 109 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: old songs that he wasn't sure about and re imagine 110 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: them with an orchestra. And I think the song benefits 111 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: from the experience Renee and Georgette mcgreet with their dogs 112 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: after the war, the genius of Paul Simon. Who's more genius, 113 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: Margret or Paul Simon. There's your questions? Well, and it's past. 114 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: Six the Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, 115 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: vowed by News Talks be Yeah. 116 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: I mentioned Zelenski's in the States. He arrived yesterday. He's 117 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: been in Scranton, which is where was where Joe comes from, 118 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: of course, but it's where they make some of the 119 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: stuff that he fires into Russia. He's going to Congress, 120 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: He's going to the UN. He's going to present what 121 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: he calls the victory Plan to both Harris and Trump, 122 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: and so the UN and Washington and I think both 123 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: Houses of Congress as well. Fifteen past six, it's a 124 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 2: cast of living from JMO Wealth. Andrew Keller here, Welcome 125 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: to Tuesday. Good Morning, Mike. 126 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 12: The troubles for Fletcher's ever in no, but they look 127 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 12: what they did yesterday was a proactive step and I 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 12: think probably quite a good one. So very busy starts 129 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 12: of the week yesterday, I mean Fletcher Building tapping the 130 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 12: market for more cash and sort of attending to their 131 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 12: balance sheet. Now, Mike, the actual rumor mill was working 132 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 12: sort of pretty harder, particularly across the Tasman towards the 133 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 12: end last week and over the weekend on this and 134 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 12: those rumors were substantiated yesterday morning when Fletcher Building announced 135 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 12: to the Exchange a large capital raising. So this of 136 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 12: course coming hot on the heels of the very large 137 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 12: Auckland airport issues. So the retail aspect of that is 138 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 12: still ongoing. So Fletcher Building raising seven hundred million dollars. 139 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 12: The purpose or the use of the funds I'll be 140 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 12: using it to repay debt. As I said, it's no 141 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 12: real surprise to the market. Might speculated for some time 142 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 12: that the balance sheet may need attention. There's still you know, 143 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 12: we knew this before the capital rate, that's uncertainty ahead 144 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 12: for the company, earnings potentially still coming under pressure. You've 145 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 12: still got uncertainty around the resolution of the pipe issue 146 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 12: in Australia. Bank debt covenants, they have to be considered. 147 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 12: So yeah, as I said, the company's taken what I 148 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 12: think is a prudence step and a proactive step to 149 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 12: manage that balance sheet risk. As with the airport issue, 150 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 12: the transaction is split between an institutional placement that's turned 151 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 12: an eighty two million so that's the big end of town, 152 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 12: and a larger four hundred and eighteen million dollar entitlement office. 153 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 12: So if you are an existing Fletcher Building shareholder, you 154 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 12: get you're entitled to one share for every four point 155 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 12: foury nine that you own two dollars forty a share 156 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 12: is the is the price at a discount to Friday's 157 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 12: closing price. And look, just to give you an idea 158 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 12: of the size Fletcher Building market cap at the most 159 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 12: about two point one billion, so it's a fairly large, 160 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 12: chunky part of the current market cap. As part of this, 161 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 12: yesterday management provided a trading update and here you've got 162 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 12: a highlight on that earnings pressure. So they said the 163 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 12: volumes in their materials and distribution business in July and 164 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 12: August were down ten to fifteen percent, so you can 165 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 12: see there there's more pressure on margins. They're homes, they're 166 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 12: selling at a lower pace, So they were doing about 167 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 12: twenty a week, they're now only selling fourteen a week. 168 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 12: And Mike, you and I have talked about cost out, 169 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 12: you know, this is the the latest thing. Well, they're 170 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 12: trying to cut costs. They were looking for one hundred 171 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 12: and twenty million dollars of savings a year in the 172 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 12: financial year twenty twenty five. They're now looking for one 173 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 12: hundred and eighty million dollars worth of cost saving. So 174 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 12: what this does do make it takes pressure off the 175 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 12: company from having to look at asset sales. It's not 176 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 12: a great position when you are a just stressed seller 177 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 12: of assets. You don't get the best price for them. 178 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 12: So it gives them incoming new management teams some breathing space. 179 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 12: Just as an aside too, you potentially see selling pressure 180 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 12: in other companies now because you've got investors out there saying, well, 181 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 12: I want to take at my Auckland Airport shares, I 182 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 12: want to take at my Fletcher Building share, so I've 183 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 12: got to raise the money from somewhere. So we may 184 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 12: see sort of selling pressure in other companies. But yeah, 185 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 12: the big announcement for Fletchers. 186 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: And they're not the only ones in the market for DOE. 187 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 4: They are not. 188 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 12: You know, on top of that, there's been a bit 189 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 12: of a surge in companies borrowing money. So this is 190 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 12: not this is not share capital, this is dead over 191 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 12: the last few days. So last week Westpac did a 192 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 12: bond issue last week, a big one, over a billion dollars, 193 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 12: a five year deal. Now people buying that at four 194 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 12: point three four percent, which gives you an idea of 195 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 12: how far rates of fall and contact energy. They announced 196 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 12: that what's called a capital bond deal yesterday that's to 197 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 12: fund their purchase of Manawa Toyota Finance. They also raised 198 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 12: money yesterday two hundred and fifty million dollars in total. 199 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 12: So you've got to think about this fulln interest rates, Mike. 200 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 12: It makes interest rates on these deals less attractive for 201 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 12: investors although they're having no. 202 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: Tot of selling. 203 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 12: But the other side of a coin, the borrowers, it 204 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 12: makes it good for them, and we're seeing borrowers respond. 205 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 12: So but look, lots of lots of capital raisings. 206 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: Going on, busy, busy. 207 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 12: What are the numbers, right, They're all good, which we 208 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 12: like to see that on a Tuesday when the offshore 209 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 12: market's kicking and twenty five on the Dow Jones, it's 210 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 12: up sixty two points point one five percent.

He's worth seven and 245 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 2: a half billion dollars. I don't know what he paid 246 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: for evidence, but wouldn't have been much comparatively speaking. He's 247 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: got a ninety four percent stake, they're useless. If you 248 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: follow the EPL their nineteenth twenty last season, they got 249 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: pinged on points and all that sort of stuff for 250 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: you know, some financial regularity. So hopefully he can he 251 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: can right the ship. As they say, agencies and Crown 252 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: entities Mike manage their WFH policies exactly like the private sector. Well, 253 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: for a start, you're wrong because you didn't see the 254 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: post cabinet press conference yesterday. I can tell you right here, 255 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: right now, and this private sector company, I could guarantee 256 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: you the management know exactly how many people work from home, 257 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: when they work from home and why. If you watched 258 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: Nichola Willis yesterday flailing around trying desperately to explain what 259 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: they know or didn't know about who was where, why 260 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: when and how. It was just embarrassing. Not her fault, 261 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: but I mean, it's just a joke. Text continues. My 262 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: days working from home with no travel and distractions the 263 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: most productive, and even in office it's normally full on 264 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: zoo meetings as the workforce is national fair enough, and 265 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: on individual cases. And I think this is what the 266 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: government is saying. It's not the end of working from home, 267 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: but they've just got to get a bit of rig 268 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: around it, because literally they've got no idea at the 269 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 2: moment what's going on. Furthermore, you've got a lot of 270 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: texts in this morning suggesting the councils are a pro 271 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: and I don't think the government can do anything about 272 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: the councils, but there are plenty of people in the 273 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 2: council world who were working from home. Six twenty five 274 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: trending now with ms Wells, the home of big brand 275 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: skincare now back to the war in Ukraine, fought on 276 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 2: several fronts, of course, first as the battlefield, the other's propaganda. 277 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: So the Kremlin have launched another of their so called 278 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: documentaries overnight on their pro Putin TV channel. It's actually 279 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: only a fourmnuive video. It's in English, shows the effects 280 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: of a nuclear bomb detonating in the middle of London. Now, 281 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: the plan as you freak the palms out so they 282 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: capitulate when it comes to allowing Ukraine to fire off 283 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: those new rockets deep into Russian territory. 284 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 13: Imagine for a moment that the unimaginable happens. A nuclear 285 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 13: weapon explodes over London. 286 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 11: A fireball as hard as the sun rapidly expands, reaching 287 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 11: a radius of nine hundred and fifty meters. Anything trapped 288 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 11: inside this fireball is instantly vaporized. In our simulation, the 289 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 11: epicenter of the explosion is at Westminster. Within five kilometers 290 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 11: of the epicenter the blast radius city of London. 291 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 13: Camden Town, Kensington, Brixton. These areas will receive the most destruction. 292 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 13: Given the population density in central London, the initial death 293 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 13: toll could exceed two hundred and fifty thousand people, according 294 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 13: to various estimates. Further, four hundred and fifty thousand people 295 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 13: will die from burns, debris injuries or radiation sickness, and 296 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 13: over a million will be traumatized. 297 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 14: Traumatist, I'm already traumatized and it hasn't even happened yet. 298 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to be traumatized. Funny old headline flighting around 299 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: this morning. Japan is pushing a four day working week, 300 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 2: but its workaholic culture makes it hard to sell. So 301 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: in Japan they can't get them home. In Wellington they 302 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: can't get them into the office. Oh the irony. Joe 303 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: McKenna is in Italy.

But we'll get into the New 307 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: Zealand economy with some very good news around Kivuit for 308 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: you after the news, which is next. 309 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: You're Trusted home for News, for Entertainments, Opinion and Mike 310 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: the Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Jaguar f base cut 311 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: from a different cloth News togs FB. 312 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: Mike I worked for Top four bank based in Wellington. 313 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 2: We get a new building, which means the clue there, 314 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: I think is that you'll be the bn Z once 315 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: you anyway doesn't matter, but at the moment we only 316 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: get about twenty percent of the people coming into the office. 317 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 2: Corporates and no better than the government. The point being 318 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: though privates can do whatever they like, that's their business, 319 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: and if they want to let some people be at 320 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: home or not be at home, that's that they've got 321 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: a policy, They've thought about it, they've implemented. The point 322 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: was the government hadn't.

The government has a real issue though, 326 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: as the employment contract initially talks about flexible working conditions. 327 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: What absolute rubbish.

Those numbers to August taken the 344 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 16: last end of the twenty twenty three harvest and the 345 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 16: start of twenty four and twenty four. It has been 346 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 16: stelling year. I'm up in grease actual Europe at the moment, 347 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 16: and feedback up here is really positive about our product. 348 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 16: So I think this is a start of more good 349 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 16: times to heat. 350 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: Up in Greece at a conference. Are you working hard colin. 351 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: Conference? 352 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 16: Having yes, catch you we grow with some other other 353 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 16: regions around the world, and also having a look at 354 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 16: the kiwi fruit in the supply chain. We are what 355 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 16: week thirty eight now in the season and the fruits 356 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 16: holding up extremely well in market. 357 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: What is the situation with these international growers you've got? 358 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: Is this the way of the future. Is everybody in 359 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: the industry broadly happy with the arrangement we have. 360 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 16: I think when the industry was put the single test 361 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 16: structure in place nearly thirty years ago, it was with 362 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 16: the intention of having twelve months supply. We're doing a 363 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 16: fantastic job of producing that fruit out of New Zealand. 364 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 16: But I was speaking to consumers all of the time 365 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 16: up here, and they enjoy their kiwi every day of 366 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 16: the year, So we want to make sure that kiwi 367 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 16: is esperate keywy fruit. So we have some work to 368 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 16: do to make sure we've got twelve months supply, But 369 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 16: there's a lot of team growers here in the Northern 370 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 16: Hemisphere who want to be part of the family. 371 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: How is it? And I didn't realize this, and this 372 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: is my ignorance. Gold is good in China, greens more 373 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: in Europe. Why the split? What's happened there? 374 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 4: Well? 375 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 16: Green Europeans recognize the health benefits of green and always 376 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 16: have in China, They've got no shortage of green fruit themselves, 377 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 16: so they're keen on the new variety entering the market 378 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 16: and understand the vitamin see benefits of gold. So good 379 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 16: to have, good to have a foot in both camps. 380 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: I reckon? And where's red at and how good could 381 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: it be? 382 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 16: Red from a consumer perspective is excellent. The challenge is 383 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 16: how long it stays in the supply chain. So we're 384 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 16: producing close to a million trays in New Zealand now 385 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 16: for the Southeast Asia markets. And again I've had no 386 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 16: shortage of conversations in the last week with European consumers 387 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 16: who'd love to find a way to get their hands 388 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 16: on some ruby red. It's just a matter of how 389 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 16: we can get that producing in the Northern Hemisphere closer 390 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 16: to the market, right, And. 391 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: What about the trade deals, the deal we've done with Europe, 392 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: the deal we've done with the UK, all that sort 393 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 2: of stuff. Do you feel the difference of those sort 394 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: of deals or not? 395 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 396 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 16: And I say where I mean growers. Those sort of 397 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 16: deals growers put money back and growers pockets so at 398 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 16: a time when their cost of production on orchard is increasing, 399 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 16: every little bit counts. So absolutely we're all for trade deals. 400 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: Fantastic, well, good to get. And I always like to 401 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 2: remember whenever I talked qub for it, you remember Meham, 402 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: You remember PSA, and you remember the misery and the 403 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 2: woe and the concern and all of that, and you 404 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 2: look at you guys. Now it's one of the great stories, 405 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 2: isn't it. 406 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 16: Well, it really is, and you're only going back a decade. 407 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 16: But other than a couple of bumps along the road 408 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 16: where now I'm really long in trend and we hope 409 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 16: can do horticulture. We get reminded from time to time 410 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 16: that it's not all going to be playing sailing, but 411 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 16: we're just got to keep focusing on the future because 412 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 16: it's very bright. People want our products. It's a great 413 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 16: product with a great brand. New Zealand think should be 414 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 16: proud of what we're doing, and we should all be 415 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 16: I think supporting the journey very well. 416 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: Said go well, Colin, appreciate it. Colum Bon, who's the 417 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: New Zealand queby for it, grow as a CEO who's 418 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: with us from Greece this morning, nineteen minutes away from seven. 419 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 2: I cannot forget about the asparagus. Now here's the headline. 420 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: A bit of worry in the asparagus fields at the 421 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: moment because of course there's a lot of green veg 422 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 2: out there at the moment, and that means the prices 423 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: are down and the season is just coming underway. We've 424 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: had a couple of servings of asparagus early season. Asparagus 425 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 2: is the greatest thing in the world. I didn't think 426 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: it was that expensive. They're claiming it's still a little 427 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: bit expensive around the country. I didn't think it was, 428 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: but I would pay anything for fresh asparagus. But that's 429 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: that's underway at the moment, and so not only have 430 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 2: you got asparagus, but you've got a lot of green veg, 431 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 2: so therefore the prices are down. Therefore it's more affordable. 432 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: Then It's never been cheaper to be healthier, So get 433 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: into that eighteen to two. 434 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, carle 435 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: it By News. 436 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: Talks a B. I should tell you before we get 437 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: to Joe that all of Schultz, who runs Germany not 438 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: particularly well but nevertheless is hanging on by the skin 439 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: of his teeth. He won Brandenburg over the weekend, another 440 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 2: one of these regional elections. You remember the AfD A 441 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. They won in one, came second 442 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 2: in another, and there was some real concern that if 443 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: they won in Brandenburg, Schultz was toast. He's won, but 444 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: not by much his part. He got thirty one thirty 445 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 2: two percent. The AfD got twenty nine to thirty So 446 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: there's still a force to be reckoned. With sex forty. 447 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 3: Five International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, Peace of 448 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: mind for New Zealand Business. 449 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: Now it is Tuesday, but it detraits Bonus Tuesday. Let's 450 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: call it bonus Tuesday. Joe mckennon's with us eatterly, very 451 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: good morning to you, Good morning way. I'm looking at 452 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: a photo currently of Georgia Maloney, who seems to have 453 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: got some sort of vice like grip on elon Muskin 454 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: doesn't want to let him go, and she's looked happier 455 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: than she's ever looked. What an earth is going on? 456 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 17: What is going on? They're the best of buddies. 457 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 2: At the moment. 458 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 17: I think he's due to present her with the Global 459 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 17: Citizen Award at a ceremony in New York, if he 460 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 17: hasn't done it already. The question is will that mean 461 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 17: that he's looking for special favors from Georgia Maloney for 462 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 17: his companies in Italy? Uh, not really sure about that 463 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 17: at the moment. 464 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 2: Isn't it funny to think that Georgia Maloney. For all 465 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 2: of the critics of GEORGIEA. Maloney, she was far right. 466 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 2: She was a crazy Look at her. Now they're handing 467 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 2: awards to her as a global citizen. 468 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 17: Yes, and she's making all the right noises about working 469 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 17: on a multilateral level. We need to work for peace 470 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 17: and climb as fight climate change and all the rest 471 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 17: of it. At this UN Summit of the Future in 472 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 17: New York, talking about crises presenting opportunities. I think many 473 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 17: Italians would not be thinking the same way on that 474 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 17: front at the moment. 475 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 2: Okay, the poll, this bloke who quit we talked about 476 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago the culture minists who had 477 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 2: the social media influencer woman, et cetera. Anyway, this has 478 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: effected the government's polls. 479 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 17: It looks like it we're starting to see I mean, 480 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 17: I haven't seen a definitive figure, but I'm starting to 481 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 17: see some sign in the media that one in three 482 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 17: Italians believe that this will weaken Maloney. And this woman 483 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 17: who had her eyes on a consultancy in the Cultural 484 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 17: ministry has obviously caused a great deal of trouble and 485 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 17: people are not happy about it. 486 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: But we would be. 487 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 17: Interesting to see the polls because the last poll I 488 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 17: think we had on Maloney Mike was still had her 489 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 17: at around twenty seven percent, so she was quite strong. 490 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 17: But we might see some changes in the next few weeks. 491 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 2: Very interesting now the spag and A can update. You 492 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: haven't tried it, have you. 493 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 17: I didn't find it, but I understand it's on sale 494 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 17: in London. I was there for the weekend and one 495 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 17: of the reporters, one of the Italian reporters, has gone 496 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 17: across and has been rajing about shock horror. It's even 497 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 17: worse than we expect it. It smells like dog food, and 498 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 17: they're even slicing the spaghetti into smaller pieces, so it's 499 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 17: not a good look for the Italians. They're very upset 500 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 17: about this. 501 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: I take it you can't buy it in Italy. 502 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 17: I haven't seen it on sale yet. I think they're 503 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 17: targeting the UK market because the Brits might be more vulnerable. 504 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 2: Spash bagan A, Are you standing in the rain? Is 505 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: it raining in the background of my hip? It is, Yes, 506 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: it is because I was noted. Are you in Italy 507 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 2: at the moment? You're back home in landed in Italy? No, 508 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: it's just the reason I asked that is because of 509 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: the dreadful floods across parts of Europe. But then I 510 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: thought there was a storm heading into Italy somewhere. Am 511 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 2: I correct in saying that I've literally made that up? 512 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 17: Yes, you might remember we've talked about the floods. We've 513 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 17: had the return of the floods in Emilia Romagna, and 514 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 17: the government, to its creditors, started throwing money at some 515 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 17: of those famis lee's and victims up there. Small amounts, 516 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 17: but yeah, a lot of upheople in the area around Bologna, 517 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 17: in the north central part of Italy. 518 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 2: Always a pleasure, Joe catch up on Thursday very much, 519 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: Joe McKenna, because we had a big storm overnight in 520 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 2: Britain as well, a lot of flooding, a lot of 521 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: concern and burious areas. So we might touch on touch 522 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,239 Speaker 2: on that with Rod later in the program. Boy, it's 523 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 2: already eleven away from seven on. 524 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: My cost will breakfairs with Bailey's Real Estate News talks. 525 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: As excited as we got about the Kiwi fruit and 526 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: as excited as I am about some CO two slash 527 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 2: methane slash biomass that I'll tell you about after seven 528 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: o'clock this morning. We do still have trouble in the economy. 529 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: The export to import numbers for August were rubbish. Value 530 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: of imports has fallen faster than exports, which I suppose 531 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 2: overall is all right. Kuei fruit, as we told you, 532 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: that's up one hundred and seventy seven million, or fifty 533 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: eight percent on the month. Meat down nineteen percent, aluminium 534 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 2: down thirty four percent, sheep twenty seven percent down, beef 535 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: down fifteen biggest fall was vehicle because no one wants 536 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: to buy one at the moment, because no one can 537 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: afford one. That's down forty two percent. The overall trade 538 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: deficit was two point two billion just for the month, 539 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: So we you know, it's a bleak and ugly picture. 540 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: I haven't done this for a while, so I need 541 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: to update you. So Ralph, I sort of thought when 542 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 2: I heard his son initially, when he got nab outside 543 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: the golf course, has son went, he's a cool dad, 544 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: and he doesn't sound like him, and I hope this 545 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: is a big mistake. Not really a mistake, mate, Ryan's nutter. 546 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 2: So he had a gun and he had some plans, 547 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: and he'd been stalking the guy, it turns out, for 548 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: a month, and he had a note saying that you know, 549 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 2: forget this note it wasn't successful, which clearly it wasn't. Meantime, 550 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 2: the Secret Service admitted over the weekend that they didn't 551 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 2: do a very good job back in Butler. Not that 552 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: we hadn't already worked that out, but for the first 553 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: time since July, the agency had presented the public with 554 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 2: a full picture of the internal breakdowns. Basically, it was complacency, 555 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 2: which I found interesting. There was no we sort of 556 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: know it, but to hear it from their own lips 557 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: is interesting. There was no real coordination with the local authorities. 558 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: They went, ah, yeah, it's another rally. Ah yeah, there's 559 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 2: a roof. Ah year, guy might climb up there, but 560 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: ah he probably won't. So oh has he? Ah hell 561 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 2: had that about it, had to work from home, vibe 562 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 2: about it, basically. And then we come overnight to yet 563 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 2: another open letter. This one is from national security leaders 564 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: for America and there are seven hundred and forty one 565 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: of them, which is quite a lot, and including people, 566 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 2: I mean obvious ones, former Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton 567 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 2: and John Kerry. So you'd expect them to sign a 568 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 2: letter saying that Trump's no good Chuck Hagel and William Cohen. 569 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: Though Republicans criticize the form of President's foreign affairs track 570 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: record alleged involvement in the Jan six Capital riot, he 571 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: has shown no remorse for trying to overturn the twenty 572 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: twenty election Jan six, promises to pardon the convicted perpetrators, 573 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 2: has made clear he will not respect the results of 574 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: the twenty four elections, should be should he win again. 575 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 2: So there's seven hundred of them, And that was on 576 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 2: top of the other letter the other day. So a 577 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 2: lot of letters, a lot of complacency in the security forces, 578 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 2: and so we count down. It's getting close. So do 579 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 2: you know, let me just quickly tell you this where 580 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: we're going to cover this thing. Maybe I'm increasingly in 581 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 2: two minds about it, but anyway, they still don't know 582 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 2: where and still have not announced where the headquarters are 583 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 2: for the two candidates. So you ask me, Mike, where 584 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: are you going? And the answer is I don't know, 585 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: and you go why not? And I go because they 586 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: haven't decided yet, and they are not going to decide 587 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 2: until we are told. This is the State Department. I 588 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 2: wring them every day. Their phone service is hopeless. You're 589 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: on hold for ages. Anyway, they're going to make it 590 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 2: late this month or possibly early next month. Amazing. 591 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 14: And you've got some very specific riders about whether you 592 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 14: will or all not go. 593 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: I said, if I can touch it, if I can 594 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 2: leave here in land like New York, no problem. If 595 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: I leave there in land and have to jump on 596 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 2: a domestic flight, it's over. 597 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 14: And then the idea of a van was raised, and 598 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 14: you said, no to that. 599 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 2: There's anybody on the like another trip we went in 600 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 2: a e van. We went in an event from Washington 601 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: to New York. 602 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 14: And then so somebody who also said they mentioned a train. Yeah, 603 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 14: and then it was turning into a sort of a 604 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 14: sequel to trains, planes and automobiles, which I thought sounded 605 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 14: like there would be great content. 606 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 2: It's a disaster anyway. We may or may not get 607 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 2: out of the country four minutes away from seven. 608 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 3: All the ins and the ouse. 609 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: It's the fizz with business favor. Take your business productivity 610 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: to the next level. 611 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: You data on concert tickets, they're still through the roof. 612 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 2: Last time Oasis played at Wembley in two thousand nine, 613 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 2: tickets were ninety two bucks. Now they're three hundred and twenty. 614 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: Even if you adjusted for inflation, it's one hundred and 615 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: forty five versus today's three hundred and twenty. The most 616 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: expensive tickets last year Beyonce Madonna five fivey one hundred 617 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: versus two thousand, seven hundred for Madonna. Fifty one percent 618 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 2: of people in the UK. High ticket prices have stopped 619 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: them going to gigs sixty six percent, so they produced 620 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: the number of gigs they go to, not surprising promoters. 621 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: Their costs are up thirty five to forty percent, so 622 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: there's something in that. And then the worst part of 623 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: all the UK decision to ban what they call red diesel, 624 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 2: which power the generators and all the heavy vehicles at 625 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: festivals and arenas, and because of that that was hopeless. 626 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 2: That was part of the UK's government plan in twenty 627 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 2: two to reduce emissions, and after the new rule, prices 628 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: immediately went up twenty two percent. So it's becoming prohibitive 629 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 2: to simply go to a concert with your average ticket 630 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 2: now hundreds of dollars for a top act. And that's 631 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 2: before you get to you know, or your dress ups. 632 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: Of course you've got to because every concept I don't 633 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: know about you, but every concert I go to, I 634 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 2: do the dress ups, and you get down to the 635 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 2: two dollars shop and dress yourself up in a bit 636 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: of sparkle. It's not two dollars, I can tell you 637 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 2: that for nothing. 638 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 14: The appropriate novelty glasses. 639 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: Exactly, they're not. They don't come cheap. Glenn News for you. 640 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 2: In a couple of moments, then we'll delve into the 641 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 2: pulking Horn. 642 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: Decision, the newspeakers and the personalities of the big names. 643 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: Talk to like my costing, breakfast with Bailey's real estate, 644 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: your local experts, across residential come so adverll use. 645 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: To seven past sevens are not guilty.

Eight 648 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 2: weeks of witnesses and detail come down to the simple 649 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 2: fact that prosecution couldn't stitch together enough evidence to get 650 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 2: their side of the argument. Across the line. Criminal defense 651 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: lawyer A. Liz Hall is with us li's morning to you, 652 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 2: Good morning Mike.

Ten you 654 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: were beside yourself. Where did you sit? Oh about a 655 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: one couldn't care less? 656 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 18: Well not couldn't care less. I mean, it's an example 657 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 18: of our criminal justice for working, and so that's encouraging 658 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 18: to all defense lawyers. But other than that, you know, 659 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 18: there are trials going on up and down the country 660 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 18: that are important to the people that are involved. This 661 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 18: one just happened to get more media coverage. 662 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 2: I was sure I was going to like you anyway, 663 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 2: but I didn't know that answer was coming.

Do you 668 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 2: think from the prosecution's point of view, they couldn't get 669 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: their side of the argument across given the link to 670 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: the not at all. 671 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 18: The goal of the criminal justice system isn't to help 672 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 18: the crown get across the line. What the crown do 673 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 18: is they call the available evidence that they think will 674 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 18: establish guilt. The jury make the assessment of whether they 675 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 18: have called sufficient evidence or off the case leaves them 676 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 18: sure of guilt. That didn't happen in this case. So 677 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 18: it's just justice working. 678 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 2: How much weight sure? How much weight would you have 679 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 2: put or do you think you would put on the 680 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 2: Ashton non appearance? 681 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 18: Would they now come on, Mike. Everything that woman has 682 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 18: to say was already before the jury. The only thing 683 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 18: that the jury missed out on was seeing what outfit 684 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 18: that woman water court. I think it's a total red 685 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 18: herring to start focusing on what she thinks she might 686 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 18: have added to the trial. 687 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 2: What weight would you put on a good brief in 688 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 2: the form of Mansfield. 689 00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 18: Ron Mansfield's one of the best in the business. 690 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 2: So if you hire, well you can go in feeling 691 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: more confident than if you don't hire. 692 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 18: Will No Come on now. Every criminal defense lawyer puts 693 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 18: their heart and soul into this business. If we were 694 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 18: interested in anything other than justice, we'd be doing conveyancing. 695 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 2: Okay, in totality, what are your outtakes of this trial 696 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 2: that has allegedly gripped the nation? 697 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 18: Well, I don't know that it has gripped the nation. 698 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 18: I think it's gripped those people who like click bait 699 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 18: on media. It's just justice working. That's all you've seen 700 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 18: play out. And as you know that both the Crown 701 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 18: and the defense have worked very hard and the verdict 702 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 18: is what it is, and Sony, the Ablenesses need to 703 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 18: relax and see that that's justice working. 704 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 2: Good on you, Elizabeth, appreciate it very much. This Hall, 705 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: criminal defense lawyer, come on now. Ten minutes past seven 706 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: pasking public servicemen called back to the office. While some 707 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 2: of them have, I'll talk to the Prime Minister about this. 708 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,239 Speaker 2: I don't know how many have. I don't even think 709 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: they got a plan around this. The government wants strictive 710 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: working from home rules. We just don't know what they are. 711 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: At Wellington Chamber of Commerce is kind of wittens with 712 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 2: us cold of morning, good morning. Mind broadly you guys 713 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 2: support this. 714 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 19: Yeah, Look, we do think that this has the real 715 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 19: potential to make a difference for Wellington, and it's important 716 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 19: to recognize that at a time when public finances are 717 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 19: pretty tight, it's something that really doesn't cost the government assent. 718 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 19: We all know it's been a hard time for businesses 719 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 19: in Wellington, but particularly for retail and hospitality. Working from 720 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 19: home trends are definitely a very big part of that. 721 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 19: And look, you're right, the numbers are a little bit 722 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 19: hard to quantify. We will have those numbers because public 723 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 19: sector CEOs will be required to report on it. But 724 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 19: look at some ballpark figures. There are twenty eight thousand 725 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 19: public servants who still work in Wellington according to the 726 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 19: Public Service Commission. If they're working from home and average 727 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 19: of two days a week, that's more than fifty thousand 728 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 19: fewer potential customers for businesses in the CBD and in 729 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 19: the city size of Wellington. That makes a real impact. 730 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 19: So if we get some of those people back in 731 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 19: the city, not everyone's going to buy a coffee or 732 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 19: go shopping or head out for a Friday drink, but 733 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 19: tens of thousands more people in the city the size 734 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 19: of Wellington. It's going to make a real impact at 735 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 19: a time when businesses are doing it tough. 736 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 2: Do you have any confidence that there were no rules yesterday? 737 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: It was just a general, hey, we should really do 738 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 2: something about this vibe. Is anything actually going to happen? 739 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 2: Do you think? Well? 740 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 19: I suppose time will tell on that. I mean, of 741 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 19: course they can't really just step out and mandate it 742 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 19: all together. Some of it may be written into employment 743 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 19: contracts already. Any change will have to comply with employment law, 744 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 19: and every employee, whether they're in the public or private sector, 745 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 19: has the right to try to negotiate for flexible working. 746 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 19: There will be many situations where that might be the 747 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 19: right thing to do. What we don't want to see 748 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 19: is the current situation, whereas for many agencies it's just 749 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 19: become the default. This change is about making sure there's 750 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 19: a good reason for public servants to be working from home, 751 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 19: and we think that's a pretty sensible step. What we 752 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 19: would like to see, you're right, is that it actually 753 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 19: brings people back into the office. So CEO is being 754 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 19: required to report on that level of working from home 755 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 19: in their ministries is really important. We'll have that data 756 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 19: by the start of next year and that'll be the 757 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 19: point to assess whether it's really making an impact or 758 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 19: maybe whether there's something else that can good stuff. 759 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 2: Can't appreciate it very much. Conor Witten, who's out of 760 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 2: the Wellington Chamber of Commas twelve and it's past seven. 761 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 2: Numbers on christ Church. CBD continues to hold a twenty 762 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: percent year of the total spending in christ Church. So 763 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 2: in other words, the CBD is working bill that they 764 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 2: will come City Council keep this data. From January to 765 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 2: June this year a number of pedestrians in the place 766 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 2: one point four percent higher than the same period last year. 767 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 2: Daily average number of pedestrians is up some twelve percent, 768 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,320 Speaker 2: So it depends on how you work. Wellington's twenty two percent. 769 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: By the way of public service, I know it got 770 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 2: focused on Wellington a lot, but twenty two percent of 771 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 2: the public service are in fact places like Auckland, so 772 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 2: it's not just a Wellington thing that happened yesterday. It 773 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 2: was very much right around the country. Kiwi Saber, I 774 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: can tell you this morning interesting numbers. This is the FMA, 775 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 2: the Financial Markets Authority Annual report on KIWI Saber. The 776 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 2: amount saved has cracked through one hundred billions, gone from 777 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 2: ninety three to one hundred and eleven billion, so that's material. 778 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 2: Total memberships up still going up, which is good, not 779 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 2: by much. There are three point three to three million 780 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 2: of us in key We Saber. It was three point 781 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 2: two five. It's gone to three point three three, So 782 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 2: that growth, I suppose, is still a good thing. Average 783 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 2: balance is thirty grand Is that enough to retire on? 784 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 2: I mean answers no, So you do wonder is it 785 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 2: actually serving its purpose? And where I can't thirty thousand dollars, 786 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 2: I mean that'll buy you an MG on special if 787 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 2: you want an EV. But apart from that's not solving 788 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: your long term problem. Investment returns are plus thirteen billion, 789 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: which is good. Total fees there's a conversation. Last year 790 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 2: six hundred and sixty four million dollars worth of fees, 791 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,760 Speaker 2: this year at seven hundred and eighty nine. Oh, that'll 792 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: be inflation. That'll be that. And we didn't save anything 793 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 2: working from home when we did those numbers either. Fourteen 794 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 2: past seven The. 795 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio. Howard By 796 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: News Talks at. 797 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 2: B Christopher Laxon with a shortly sixteen past seven from 798 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 2: the Bright Ideas Department. We got methane and CO two 799 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 2: could be harnessed to create livestock feed. How good is this? 800 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 2: World first? Research, upflow, business and innovation are into this. 801 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 2: The director is Andy Blair, who's with this. Andy, very 802 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 2: good morning to you. So you plug it into the 803 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 2: geothermal system with your microbes and it just grows? Is 804 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,760 Speaker 2: that it? Or am I just a bit thick? 805 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 20: No, you're pretty much beang on Mike. So basically, we 806 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 20: take the guesses that come from c simial power stations 807 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 20: and plart them into these bugs and they make a 808 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 20: single cell protein. 809 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 2: Can you see it happen? 810 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 20: Yep, we've already made We've already made it. We've made 811 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 20: the biomass and it exists, and yeah, it's technique. 812 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 2: And so what are you looking for scalability? Now? 813 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 20: Yeah, so we're doing we're doing that test for scalability. 814 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 20: So how do we make it economically viable in a 815 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 20: big enough and a more meaningful way for a commercial 816 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 20: market to take it and make it sustainable? 817 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 2: Okay, So if you plug it in and when you 818 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 2: leave the office, you'd leave the office at six because 819 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 2: you're not a work from home or I can tell. 820 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 2: So you leave the office at sex, you plug it 821 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 2: in when you come the next morning. How much you got? 822 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 20: Yeah, so it's not like that it's been plugged in 823 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 20: constantly to a power station, and they just multiply. The 824 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 20: only thing that stops them from growing is lack of 825 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 20: food or the size of the vessel that we put 826 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 20: them in. So they'll just keep multiplying by as much 827 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 20: food that we give them. 828 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, but how quickly? I mean, like you put a 829 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 2: sackload of food and do you get a sack load 830 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 2: of biomass or ten biomass or oh it's. 831 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 20: Like replicating like thousands and thousands of times over every minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 832 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 20: they grow really rapidly. And that's why it's such a 833 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 20: cool technology. Bioteach is so cool is because it's not 834 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 20: constrained by normal sort of multiplication rates that we see 835 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 20: in other spaces. 836 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: Okay, do the animals like it? Will they eat it? 837 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 2: Do you know? 838 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 20: Well, we've done some early testing on mice which love 839 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 20: it and think it's just as good as the food 840 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 20: they're eating. But we're also working on which markets, which 841 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 20: animal market we're tagging, and we'll have to do that 842 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 20: sort of do they like it, do they not like it? 843 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 20: But it performed really well in the early testing that 844 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 20: we did. 845 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 2: What's it cost you to make a sackload? Do you know? 846 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 2: Is it sse tenths of cents? Hundreds of dollars? 847 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's all about dollars per kg. And we're trying 848 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 20: to figure that out in this step as well. So 849 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 20: we don't think it's going to be bulk food. We 850 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 20: think it's going to be meaningful little components of its 851 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 20: additives to feed because it's not cheap and it will 852 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 20: take a while to become competitive with normal bulk food rates. 853 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 20: So we'll be targeting the sort of high value stuff first. 854 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,799 Speaker 2: That's so exciting. When do you reckon? You're going to 855 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 2: give it to a cow? 856 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 20: We reckon in about ten to twelve years, will be 857 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 20: commercially operating and feeding it like you're able to dial. 858 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 2: It up in order some and you are one hundred 859 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 2: percent certain of this or you're still in the we'll 860 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:53,959 Speaker 2: see how it goes pace. 861 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 20: Well, we've made we've made the biomass. We know we 862 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,879 Speaker 20: can make one hundred percent to make biomass. Now we're 863 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 20: just need to figure out can we make it commercially viable? 864 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 3: Right? 865 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 2: Well, that's exciting. Hey, tell me about your Kings honor tomorrow.

As I listened to Ricardo Mendez march lectures 903 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 2: on poverty being a choice, yesterday's level of naivety and 904 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 2: fiscal ineptitude reminded me yet again how dangerous these Greens are. 905 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: He makes two potentially disastrous assumptions. Of course, one the 906 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 2: figure of three billion is correct, and two, if you 907 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,279 Speaker 2: write a check, poverty will be solved. The chances are 908 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 2: neither are true. Having also been part of to some 909 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 2: degree the government of the past six years that's taken 910 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 2: an economic hammer to the place, you might have hoped 911 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 2: even he would have seen just simply spraying money about 912 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 2: the place doesn't work, and so do the Greens. Mendoz 913 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 2: march aside, what about Chloe? Have you ever seen a 914 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,479 Speaker 2: more indecisive leader? Darlene Tanner became an issue months back, 915 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 2: months and months and months back, and yet look what 916 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 2: Chloe's done about it? Nothing Goalers of course, Julian Genta, 917 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,959 Speaker 2: I mean she now appears to be but a minor 918 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 2: issue of barely any relevance at all. And Tory, who 919 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 2: may or may not have sold her car, or may 920 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 2: or may not have had trouble balancing your books at 921 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety thousand dollars a year, most certainly 922 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 2: has applied the Green philosophy of finance to the capital 923 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 2: by basically wrecking it and at the same time racking 924 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,839 Speaker 2: up debt the likes of which fore you have ever seen. 925 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,320 Speaker 2: My great hope out of all of this is slowly, 926 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 2: but surely we as voters and participants learn our own lesson, 927 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 2: and that is to stop and think about what it 928 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 2: is we want, stop and think about our participation in 929 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 2: the system, to not only participate, but also to participate knowledgeably. Now, 930 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 2: if you think Chloe and Tory and Darlene are your 931 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,400 Speaker 2: kind of people, and Ricardo's a nobel economists, then that is, 932 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 2: of course, sadly you're right. But the evidence is stacked 933 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 2: up all over the place these days, from councils to 934 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 2: central governments, from current account deficits to credit rating downgrades, 935 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 2: that having the wrong people with the wrong ideas in 936 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 2: charge of money is a disaster that's extraordinarily hard to 937 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,720 Speaker 2: extricate yourself from. If the Greens wanted more national parks, fine, 938 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 2: but they're social engineering side, as you sert that, and 939 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 2: they are nowadays just straight up and down dangerous. Once 940 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 2: it was smacking and cannabis, now it's economic carnage. They 941 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,760 Speaker 2: only get away with it if we let them. Osky 942 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 2: Mike I'm listening on the app, so this message will 943 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 2: be late defence lawyer. That's what it says. Justice is 944 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 2: working when the jury thinks the verdict is guilty but 945 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 2: cannot make it stick because of the legal jargon. Come on, no, 946 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 2: that is justice. Justice system requires a group in this case, 947 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 2: eleven of your peers. That part's debatable to weigh up 948 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 2: what was presented to them. It's not about being innocent, 949 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 2: It's about what did I receive in front of me 950 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 2: and beyond reasonable doubt, can I get across the line 951 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 2: in my conclusion. So yes, they came back and said 952 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 2: a number of the jury didn't believe she had hung herself. 953 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 2: But they also said we don't see the evidence to 954 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 2: get across the line on guilty. So you then go 955 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 2: back to the prosecutor's office and go what was it? 956 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 2: And I thought the comment from the prosecutor was interesting 957 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 2: that she said the evidence was there to be pieced together. Well, 958 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 2: if it was there to be pieced together, why didn't 959 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 2: you piece it together in a way to convince eleven 960 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 2: other New Zealanders that what you were saying was correct 961 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 2: and she couldn't do it? And that is justice. Mike 962 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 2: get Liz haul back anytime to talk about anything. Zero 963 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 2: waffles straight up and you're not left wondering that part's true, Mike, 964 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 2: Liz haall rates herself, doesn't she come on? Ffs Bob 965 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 2: got you fired up? And then I got another text 966 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 2: here that says, Mike, I'm incredibly offended. Don't be incredibly offended. 967 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 2: No point is being incredibly off There's no point in 968 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 2: being offended. Far less incredibly offended. Christopher Luxen PM. 969 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 1: Next The Breakfast Show, You Can Trust, The Mic Hosking 970 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: Breakfast with Alveda, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way News, tog 971 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: sad b new. 972 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,640 Speaker 2: Film about the documentary really about the life and times 973 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 2: of Warren Money, one of the premium and architect firms, 974 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 2: and the story behind him. Of course famous to the 975 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 2: town Hall christ due to the earthquake, the whole thing. Anyway, 976 00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 2: More on that later, twenty three minutes away from Tuesday Morning, 977 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 2: Crystal Backson's we 's very good morning to you. 978 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:42,359 Speaker 4: Good morning, Mike. 979 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 2: Just a quick one on the working from home thing. 980 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 2: No fine detail yesterday? Why not? And is that not 981 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 2: potentially a problem given what we've talked about in the 982 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,479 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks and that as you're getting pushed 983 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 2: back from the public service anyway. 984 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 21: Yeah, look, I mean what we're laying out very clearly 985 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 21: is our expectations is that it's not working from home 986 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 21: is not an entire wanted to actually got to be 987 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 21: done by formal agreement. People just shouldn't be assuming that 988 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 21: it's a reality. We don't want any working from home 989 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 21: to compromise the performance of the lolic service, and we 990 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 21: were kind of going to actively monitor it and sort 991 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 21: of regularly report on progress against it as a government. 992 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,919 Speaker 21: It's actually the cees that we're talking to who actually 993 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 21: are the employers to make sure that you know, they're 994 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 21: building really a highly productive public service. It's firing on 995 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,879 Speaker 21: all cylinders, and that's why we don't want working from 996 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 21: home to undermine any of that ambition. 997 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 2: Are you a bit slow to get to this? I 998 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 2: honestly thought this had been sorted like a year ago, 999 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 2: if not longer. 1000 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 21: Well, yeah, I mean the bottom line is, no one 1001 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 21: really knows what's going on and who's working were at 1002 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 21: the moment, if I'm honest about it, in the public service, 1003 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 21: and I think many sees would struggle to say, you know, 1004 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 21: what proportion of the workforces at home and not, and 1005 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 21: which are under formal agreements to do so or not. 1006 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 21: And all we're saying is, look, you know, working from 1007 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 21: home was introduced as a temporary measure for COVID four 1008 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 21: years ago. Many organizations, businesses, governments around the world are 1009 00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,760 Speaker 21: fighting four years down the road. It doesn't help build culture, 1010 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 21: it doesn't help team development, it doesn't put improved performance. 1011 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,439 Speaker 21: And you know, you know, we want to make sure 1012 00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 21: that you know, we've got a public service ready to 1013 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,839 Speaker 21: go because we had a lot of challenges, a lot 1014 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 21: of opportunities to sort through. 1015 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 2: Doesn't that sort of sum up everything that's wrong with 1016 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 2: this country? Though, when you go to a CEO and 1017 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 2: go tell me about it and he goes, I wouldn't 1018 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 2: have a clue. 1019 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 21: Yeah, but it's my job to fix it, right, So 1020 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 21: I've got to set a new expectation in a different 1021 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 21: standard that people need to work to. If I just 1022 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 21: walk past it and say that's good enough for and 1023 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 21: I know it's not and we don't fix that. 1024 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:29,439 Speaker 2: That's not right. 1025 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 21: So the bottom line is, look, that is what it is, 1026 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 21: or we're saying is we've got many good public servants. 1027 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 21: They are appreciating the clarity they're getting from our government, you know, 1028 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 21: and the direction that they're getting. But we want people 1029 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 21: to understand it's not an entitlement. It is by agreement. 1030 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 21: We don't want any compromise to any performance or productivity 1031 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 21: of the public service, and that's why we're doing what 1032 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 21: we're doing. 1033 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 2: Speaking of fixing stuff, I don't know if you saw 1034 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 2: the Lower Institute report on our diplomatic heft in the 1035 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 2: region which is going backwards along with China and Myanmar. 1036 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 2: Was Nanayama, who to singularly the most embarrassing forum in 1037 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 2: this this country ever had. 1038 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 21: Well, I just say the Lowy index is one perspective, 1039 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 21: but having said that, it has actually declined since twenty eighteen. 1040 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 21: So and I've said many times I thought the previous 1041 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 21: government was way too inward looking, not proactive enough, too 1042 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 21: slow coming out of COVID, and not advancing or further 1043 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 21: our interests overseas sufficiently. And that's why you know, we've 1044 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 21: had a full court press. We've hit it really hard 1045 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 21: in the first ten months. You know, Winston's out there, 1046 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 21: Judith Colin's out there, Tod mcclay's out there. I've been 1047 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 21: out there and it's all part of our plan to 1048 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 21: sort of lift the energy and urgency and our diplomatic relationship. 1049 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 21: So we do have influence and we are relevant in 1050 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 21: the region because we've got a lot to offer. So 1051 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 21: you know, you know, we are where we are, but 1052 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 21: you know, I definitely feel like I want to lift 1053 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,279 Speaker 21: that into energy and urgency, and I think we're doing that. 1054 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,840 Speaker 21: I mean, you've had people like Todd McLay just constantly, 1055 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 21: you know, meeting with trade ministers working out trade opportunities 1056 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 21: for us. Have had more to say about that shortly. 1057 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 21: I'm sure some things he's been working on which has 1058 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,840 Speaker 21: been good. But likewise mel Winston Peter's it's doing a 1059 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:55,839 Speaker 21: fantastic job out. 1060 00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 2: There, Colin. I note that India didn't or doesn't want 1061 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 2: to sign the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership of which we 1062 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,760 Speaker 2: are a part of, because it seems because of China, 1063 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,359 Speaker 2: does that if we can't get a deal directly with 1064 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 2: them and they don't want to join that which we 1065 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 2: are part of, does that set us back potentially trade wise? 1066 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 16: No. 1067 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 21: I think the reality for US is we want to 1068 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 21: do a bilateral arrates set of trade arrangements with India. 1069 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 21: The first thing is executly. You've sort of started the 1070 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 21: questioning around is that you've got to have a relationship 1071 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 21: in place, and when you haven't actually had, you've had 1072 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 21: radio silence and no engagement with the Indian system. You 1073 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 21: can talk trade all you want, but you've got to 1074 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 21: get the relationship in place first. And You've had Todd 1075 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 21: McLay I think, meet with his trade counterpart there five times. 1076 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 21: You've had Winston visit. I think Todd's been there several times. 1077 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 21: I've hosted the Indian president here. I've spoken to Mody. 1078 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 21: We're desperate to try and get together. It's a bit 1079 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 21: difficult in this last quarter with schedules of visits and 1080 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 21: other APEC and other things going on, but we're going 1081 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 21: to try and do that early next year and I'll 1082 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 21: take a big delegation up there. And here's a fascinating country. 1083 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,799 Speaker 21: I mean, it's incredible countries, our third biggest economy by 1084 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 21: twenty thirty. It's done a lot of business there in 1085 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 21: my past life with Unilever, and it's just there's so 1086 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 21: much opportunity we should have been in the years ago, 1087 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 21: should have been exactly because you know, it's I think, Mike, 1088 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,319 Speaker 21: it's about just over two point two billion of trade. 1089 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,799 Speaker 21: It's gone backwards actually over the last government, from two 1090 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 21: point eight down to two point two. China's forty billion, 1091 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 21: same population, so you know, that's the potential that sits there. Yes, 1092 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,879 Speaker 21: there's some challenges around categories that we sell, like dairy 1093 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 21: and other things, but we've got to we've got to 1094 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 21: build the relationship. We've got to be in and we've 1095 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 21: got to be having the conversations and from there we'll 1096 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 21: talk about trade and transactions. 1097 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 2: The UN vote that Peters wants depending the other day, 1098 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 2: this is on Palestine. The text that we had some 1099 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 2: trouble with but not enough trouble not to vote yes, 1100 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 2: was the same text that Penny Wong, no friend of 1101 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 2: a conservative, didn't had so much trouble with she voted no. 1102 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,840 Speaker 2: How come she votes know and we vote yes on 1103 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 2: the same thing. 1104 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 21: Yeah, well, I mean, as you could see, we did 1105 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,399 Speaker 21: have serious concerns. We talked about that and what's called 1106 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 21: our explanation of vote in that and the U in 1107 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 21: General Assembly. But we agree with the direction of travel. 1108 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 21: You know, when our view has been very clear, looks 1109 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,359 Speaker 21: we need to cease far. We want to cease far, 1110 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 21: we want the hostilities to stop you know, Israel leaving 1111 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 21: the occupied terities within twelve months with something that we 1112 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 21: thought was unrealistic, and we talked about that, but on balance, 1113 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,319 Speaker 21: we have an independent foreign policy. We made our own 1114 00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,239 Speaker 21: decision and we said, look, the direction of travel is right, 1115 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 21: but we did vote with some pretty serious caveats and 1116 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 21: concerns as well. 1117 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 2: Okay, just real quick, this four year term you talked 1118 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 2: about on Friday, the chances of putting the idea to 1119 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 2: a vote in twenty six is what. 1120 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 21: Well, we haven't actually started the work on it, and 1121 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,080 Speaker 21: we've got coalition commitments and all three parties are supportive 1122 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 21: of doing it. And what we first said is, look, 1123 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 21: let's get it to Select committee. And so it'll depend 1124 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 21: upon how much progress we can make between now and then. 1125 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 2: But unlikely likely. Who knows. 1126 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 21: I'm not going to put a number on it, to 1127 00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 21: be honest, because I just haven't had the chance to 1128 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,400 Speaker 21: have the conversation and we haven't started the work. But 1129 00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 21: when we do we put it into a quarterly plan, 1130 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,160 Speaker 21: that's will really be pushing it forward. 1131 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 2: Okay, and when we vote, it'll be binding, yeah, to 1132 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 2: be a referendum. Yeah, yeah, Well we can have a referendum, 1133 00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,240 Speaker 2: REFERENDM you've got is it a binding referendum? Yeah, okay, 1134 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 2: so we vote for it, will happen and will it 1135 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,360 Speaker 2: happen the next term? 1136 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 20: Well? 1137 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,440 Speaker 21: No, what you'd do is you think you'd have to 1138 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,520 Speaker 21: take it to referendum and then actually have an effect 1139 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 21: that the term after that term that you've voted for. 1140 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 21: I don't think you could go to referendum and your 1141 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:23,960 Speaker 21: mean you'd have to go sit with a three year 1142 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 21: term and then it would turn into a four year term. 1143 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 21: But all of that is a bit premature. There's nothing 1144 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 21: currently underway. Having said that, there's strong support I think 1145 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 21: across the parliament frankly and within the coalition. We have 1146 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 21: commitment to do the work, but just too early to say. 1147 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 2: Just for the record, was anything exchanged in any way, 1148 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 2: shape or form for Merton's release? 1149 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,319 Speaker 21: No, no, no, not at all. And do they want 1150 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 21: anything new Zealand government doesn't pay bribes or ransom, We 1151 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 21: did not do so in this case. Did they want 1152 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 21: Nathan No, not that I'm aware of. 1153 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 2: No, not at all. 1154 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 21: Well, this has been a series of it just been 1155 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 21: relentless effort frankly from m fat the Indonesian government and 1156 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,800 Speaker 21: also actually community figures that have been involved with you 1157 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 21: have connections to the hostage takers as well, and so 1158 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 21: it's been about making sure that we manage his safety. 1159 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 21: Over the last nineteen months, it's taken time. It's been 1160 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 21: relentless and tireless, I think for five hundred and ninety 1161 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 21: plus days, and it's been pretty complex case. So it's 1162 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 21: been just relentless pressure but also engagement that sort of 1163 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 21: led and sprung and free. 1164 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 2: Okay, have you read the Supreme Court's order around the 1165 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 2: Murray Coastline appeal and how you now have to pay 1166 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,400 Speaker 2: in advance for their fees? Yeah, I'm aware of it. Again. Well, 1167 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 2: holl's that about station. 1168 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,000 Speaker 21: Well that's again a conversation that Paul Goldsmith will pick 1169 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 21: up and work through. But the bottom line here is 1170 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 21: that all we're doing on the MACA legislation is returning 1171 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,320 Speaker 21: it to what Parliament intended, as we said. 1172 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:49,799 Speaker 2: Here, but they don't like that and they want you 1173 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,880 Speaker 2: Now a court in this country is now telling the government, 1174 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,600 Speaker 2: which is the ultimate court, to pay money in advance 1175 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,799 Speaker 2: and how you run your what I mean, come on. 1176 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 21: Well, all we can do is we have to respect 1177 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 21: the judiciary. But we we have a government, well we do. 1178 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 2: Even when they're just so egregiously invasive an activist it's laughable. 1179 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,800 Speaker 21: Well, all I can do, Mike is on that issue 1180 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 21: and to take the issues one by one and just say, look, 1181 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,760 Speaker 21: we had the balance right in twenty eleven with the legislation. 1182 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 21: The threshold was lowered by the courts. That's not what 1183 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 21: was intended. We're protecting the legitimate interests of all New 1184 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 21: Zealanders as well as Marai customary rights. We had the 1185 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 21: balance right, it's not right now we're returning it back 1186 00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 21: to that and I appreciate there'll be a bit of 1187 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,680 Speaker 21: grief about that, but that's what was intended by parliament. 1188 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 21: Parliament is sovereign. It gets to make the rules and 1189 00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 21: that's all we're doing it this way. 1190 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 2: Good. Is Winston gonna win on the fairies? Are you 1191 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,839 Speaker 2: going to win on the fairies? The free is going 1192 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 2: to have rail or not? 1193 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 7: Look? 1194 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:48,560 Speaker 2: Is it tracks nder worn? 1195 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,879 Speaker 21: I just say, oh, the fairies, like the current ki 1196 00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 21: raw ones, can go out to twenty twenty nine. 1197 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 2: They need to. 1198 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 21: It's about to quiro to make sure they maintain just 1199 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,399 Speaker 21: like airlines and trucking companies do fleet management very well. 1200 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 21: We expect them to do that. We've got a ministerial 1201 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 21: advisory group. We're starting the discussions internally. We'll pop up 1202 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 21: with a solution and I think Nicholas said we'll do 1203 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,399 Speaker 21: that by the end of this year early next year. 1204 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,760 Speaker 2: All right, appreciate time. Prime Minister Christopher lux on Tuesday 1205 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 2: mornings on the mic Asking Breakfast thirteen to eight. 1206 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1207 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 1208 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 2: It'd be just in reference to the inter Island or 1209 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,480 Speaker 2: if you didn't know what we were talking about at 1210 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,439 Speaker 2: the end, there's potentially a little bit of angst within 1211 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 2: the coalition. Peters is big on rail and if you 1212 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 2: followed his career over the years, he's been consistent on that, 1213 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 2: particularly in the northern part of the country. Not that 1214 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 2: that's got anything to do with the fairies, but once 1215 00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 2: you've trucked it all out of Northland down the country, 1216 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 2: you want to get it on a boat and be 1217 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 2: able to get it off the other side. Problem with that, 1218 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 2: of course, as it becomes infrastructurally interesting as opposed to 1219 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 2: a boat that doesn't do rail. Therefore you can just 1220 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 2: park it up anywhere, So that is in front of 1221 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 2: the coalition at the moment they got some advice from 1222 00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:01,799 Speaker 2: the ministerial group that Nicola Willis yesterday was as when 1223 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,360 Speaker 2: they got the advice, and she couldn't remember if the 1224 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 2: person was probably at home, and I must tell you 1225 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 2: yesterday Katie goes to ring a person. I don't even 1226 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:11,799 Speaker 2: know what sort of firm it was, and I think 1227 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 2: was medical. So she wrings the person. She can't lots 1228 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 2: of numbers, she can't get through. No one's answering the phone. 1229 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,320 Speaker 2: It's leave a message. One phone just went we cannot 1230 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 2: help you click. That's the end of it. Anyway, she 1231 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,880 Speaker 2: emails somebody. They eventually ring back and she goes, all 1232 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,239 Speaker 2: I want to do is pay this bill. And she goes, oh, 1233 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 2: i'm working from home today. I can't do that. Ring 1234 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 2: this number and that'll help you. So she rings the 1235 00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,400 Speaker 2: number again and that's the same number that goes, we 1236 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,920 Speaker 2: can't help you. Click. So this working from home thing doesn't. 1237 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 14: Work except for Kay for who for Katie? 1238 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:43,719 Speaker 2: No, it didn't work. 1239 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 4: She works from home? 1240 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 2: No? Why yet she works from home? It's got she's 1241 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 2: got nowhere else to go. She hasn't got. She hasn't 1242 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:55,759 Speaker 2: got like an outlet. If find something for her. If 1243 00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,359 Speaker 2: they had serious concerns about the UN resolution, they should 1244 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,640 Speaker 2: have voted for it, should not have voted for it. 1245 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,879 Speaker 2: We look ridiculous siding with terrorists. Let me come back 1246 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 2: to that, because that hasn't got nearly enough coverage. Rade 1247 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,320 Speaker 2: away from it. 1248 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 1: The Mike Costing breakfast with a Veta retirement Communities News 1249 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: tog saidb. 1250 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 2: Mike working from home as a plant on society like 1251 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,960 Speaker 2: our last government. It's not more productive. I'd argue it's 1252 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 2: less productive. Great move by the government, Tom you, it's 1253 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,959 Speaker 2: about I reckon roughly it's fifty to fifty this morning. 1254 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 2: It's one of those never the twain she'll meet arguments. 1255 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 2: If they were serious about concerns about the UN resolution, 1256 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:28,760 Speaker 2: they shouldn't have voted for it. 1257 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:29,000 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1258 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 2: What was interesting to me to the extent that this matters, 1259 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 2: which it sort of does and sort of does, and 1260 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 2: it doesn't to the extent that literally because of a 1261 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 2: UN resolution, nothing happens. Nothing ever happens at the UN. 1262 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 2: Hence the criticism the other day from one Helen Clark 1263 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 2: and two Winston Peter's rarely aligned together, but there you go. 1264 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 2: Because they're right. Nothing ever happens at the un But 1265 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 2: it's an extraordinary thing that Penny Wong, who is about 1266 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 2: as left as you get in the Australian labor movement 1267 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 2: and is she will never say so publicly, obviously, but 1268 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 2: is anti Israel all day long and pro Palestinian all 1269 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:07,400 Speaker 2: day long. They voted no because they could not get 1270 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,479 Speaker 2: past the text. And it wasn't just her and her alone, 1271 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 2: obviously she represents the government of the country. But they 1272 00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 2: couldn't get past the text. Yet somehow we could, so 1273 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,280 Speaker 2: we sort of had Winston rolled out going a text 1274 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,280 Speaker 2: Wor'd like. But nevertheless we vote yes. So we look 1275 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 2: more liberal than a labor government in Australia. So the 1276 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 2: conservative government of New Zealand looks more liberal on Israel 1277 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 2: than the labor government of Australia. Explain that to me 1278 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,040 Speaker 2: over a quiet drink, Mike. Make no mistake, this work 1279 00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 2: from home is still a huge issue in the private sector. 1280 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 2: Have become beholden to the highly engaged workers who don't 1281 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 2: want to give this leverage back. It is a culture 1282 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 2: killer in a small market like New Zealand, and even 1283 00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 2: more so in manufacturing logistics businesses where the office workers 1284 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 2: winge about the changes while the manual workers look on 1285 00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 2: shaking their heads as that they have to turn up 1286 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,400 Speaker 2: every day regardless. Show me how this has improved productivity 1287 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 2: in the last four years. Last time I looked, our 1288 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 2: commercial performance has been a train smash. Scott well articulated. 1289 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 2: Now we come in the next half out of Recarver. 1290 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,240 Speaker 2: You may not know the name. He's a documentary marker. 1291 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,560 Speaker 2: He's made a documentary about Warren and Marney. Warren and Marney, 1292 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,400 Speaker 2: anyone who's ever been to the town Hall in christ Church, 1293 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,360 Speaker 2: and of course in there is a real story because 1294 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,680 Speaker 2: of course it was badly, badly damaged in the earthquakes 1295 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 2: of twenty eleven and what they were going to do 1296 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,160 Speaker 2: about it and how they were going to do about it. 1297 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,960 Speaker 2: But Warren and Marney as a team were genius, probably 1298 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 2: the pre eminent architects of the modern era in this country. 1299 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,520 Speaker 2: A little bit brutalist at times, but nevertheless very clever 1300 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:34,520 Speaker 2: their story. 1301 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: Next they use bold opinions the mic Hosking Breakfast with 1302 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:45,200 Speaker 1: the Jaguar f base count from a different clath News togs. 1303 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:52,920 Speaker 2: Edb in a seven past eight, Sir Miles. Warren Morris 1304 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 2: Marney would be two of the country's most famous architects. 1305 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 2: They are in christ Church, involved in some of the 1306 00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 2: more famous buildings of the city. Modern is brutalism, I 1307 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 2: guess one of them, the town Hall, probably the most 1308 01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,760 Speaker 2: famous of their works, revolutionized how you design performance spaces. 1309 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,720 Speaker 2: Got hit very hard by the earthquake and for a 1310 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 2: time was actually going to be demolished. So we end 1311 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,160 Speaker 2: up with the documentary about Warren and Marney, their work 1312 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,640 Speaker 2: together and how it continues to be a bright point 1313 01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 2: for christ Church.

There's this happiness 1323 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 15: and there's also you know a bit of a bit 1324 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 15: of grief and sadness. But I mean it does finish 1325 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 15: on a very very positive note. So but yeah, it 1326 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,560 Speaker 15: has had an amazing response throughout the country. 1327 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,040 Speaker 2: How did you get onto it? I mean, are you 1328 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 2: into architecture at all? Yourself? Are not? 1329 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:55,919 Speaker 22: Really? 1330 01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,520 Speaker 15: Well, I've always been into architecture. But you know the 1331 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 15: christ Chitch town Hall, you know, being from christ Hitch 1332 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 15: like yourself, it's it's always been a big part of 1333 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 15: my life. I was born in nineteen seventy two, the 1334 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 15: same year that the town hall was built or it opened, 1335 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:19,479 Speaker 15: And yeah, I mean it's just it's always been quite 1336 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 15: quite special. And of course I've always known about so 1337 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:27,360 Speaker 15: Miles Warren and but yeah, the story really is about 1338 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 15: the partnership. So you know, the sort of the unsung hero, 1339 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 15: which is which is Morris. 1340 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,640 Speaker 2: It's so true, isn't it? Because I was thinking I 1341 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 2: was thinking yesterday, as are some Miles, and then you think, oh, 1342 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 2: what's all Marny's name and that and that in itself 1343 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,959 Speaker 2: was part of it, wasn't it. And he was more 1344 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 2: than happy not to be the star of the show. 1345 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 15: That's right. He's quite happy to stay in the background. 1346 01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 15: But as you see in the films, he's the details 1347 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 15: man and what often correct Miles, and you know, Miles 1348 01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 15: was quite happy to be corrected. So that's there was 1349 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 15: a It was the perfect Yin yang kind of relationship. 1350 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 2: Tell you what, I did an interview a couple of 1351 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,800 Speaker 2: years back, the Brown v. Brown, Brown versus Brown and 1352 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,920 Speaker 2: if you've never seen it, watch that. That was about 1353 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 2: a so you've seen that, right, Okay. The other one 1354 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,840 Speaker 2: I like is Lewis Kahan, who's internationally famous documentary was 1355 01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 2: done by his son and that and I thought, these 1356 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,720 Speaker 2: these things all seem to have family connections, and then 1357 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,919 Speaker 2: in yours banged as a family connection as well. 1358 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 15: That's right. Yeah, So that's kind of that's the next 1359 01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 15: part of the story of the genesis of its meeting 1360 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,919 Speaker 15: Jane and I met her when she was working at 1361 01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 15: the at Sarah That's Great Recovery Authority, and I sort 1362 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,440 Speaker 15: of got talking to her and sort of mentioned that 1363 01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 15: it would always be great to make a document menary 1364 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 15: about the town Hall, but not know really that it was, 1365 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 15: you know, going to be a feature length film and 1366 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 15: that it would have But I knew the story of 1367 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 15: the town Hall and that you know, we sort of 1368 01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 15: treated it as a character and that it has a journey, 1369 01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:07,360 Speaker 15: you know, from conception through to you know, being born 1370 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 15: and then you know, nearly losing its life if you like. 1371 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,920 Speaker 15: But yeah, Jane was yeah, so and she has a 1372 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 15: skill and she has a background and production as well. 1373 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 15: So yeah, we got talking and then she came to 1374 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:28,680 Speaker 15: me when Morris was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in twenty 1375 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,480 Speaker 15: eighteen and said, if you want to make this documentary 1376 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:37,120 Speaker 15: about Miles and Morris, then you better get onto it. 1377 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 15: So yeah you did, Yeah we did. Yeah, that's when 1378 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 15: we got the first interview with Morris. Yeah, and then 1379 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 15: after that the two of them together. So yeah, and 1380 01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 15: that comes the basis of our film. 1381 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 2: What do you reckon? The answer to this is I 1382 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 2: was watching it yesterday and I actually became quite emotional 1383 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,800 Speaker 2: about it because and I couldn't work out whether I 1384 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,960 Speaker 2: became emotional about it because it's a beautiful building that 1385 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 2: almost got destroyed but has been saved. So there's just 1386 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:04,600 Speaker 2: that in itself, or I'm from christ Church. I've been 1387 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,080 Speaker 2: to it a million times. Therefore everywhere it's it's a 1388 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,360 Speaker 2: christ Church thing. In other words, well it. 1389 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 15: Is, it's it's kind of yeah. I mean I wonder 1390 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 15: whether it's a because it's such a specific thing when 1391 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 15: you're making a film that the idea of specificity is 1392 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,560 Speaker 15: is really you've got to drill down into the details 1393 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 15: and and the location, and that's that's kind of what 1394 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 15: makes it appealing. But it is it is a it 1395 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,600 Speaker 15: is a christ Church story, but it's also kind of 1396 01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:40,480 Speaker 15: an important New Zealand story. It's a it's part of 1397 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 15: New Zealand's history, I suppose, and a lot of people 1398 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 15: watch the film and kind of go I just didn't 1399 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 15: realize that. And also I didn't realize what you guys 1400 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,000 Speaker 15: went through in christ at the time of earthquake and 1401 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,439 Speaker 15: and afterwards, and you know, we're all so busy trying 1402 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 15: to get our lives back on track and you know, 1403 01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 15: save our businesses and you know, deal with things that 1404 01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,680 Speaker 15: didn't actually know what was going on. 1405 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 2: Hall Now there's an interesting story to that. Let me 1406 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 2: let me take a break and come back and more 1407 01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 2: than that. In just a couple of moments, Rick Harvey, 1408 01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:13,320 Speaker 2: who's produced a director of this particular documentary, Morris and 1409 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 2: I more more in a moment twelve past eight. 1410 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeart Radio 1411 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 1412 01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 2: It be news Talks, It'll be fifteen past eight. Morris 1413 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 2: and I is the documentary. Rick Harvey is the producer, director, 1414 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,720 Speaker 2: Well one thing important I think to point out, Rick, 1415 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:32,600 Speaker 2: will you answer me this question first? Is it the 1416 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 2: interior that's as remarkable as the exterior or the exterior 1417 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,040 Speaker 2: beats the interior, or is it both? 1418 01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,480 Speaker 15: I would say it's the question. Stand Hall is one 1419 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:50,440 Speaker 15: of those places that well, it's it's inside out really, 1420 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 15: so the whole brutalists if you like, as as as 1421 01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 15: the form follows the function, you build the you know, 1422 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 15: you designed the concert hall, and if it happens to 1423 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,560 Speaker 15: need concrete walls and it looks quite bruckless on the outside, 1424 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,520 Speaker 15: it was so bad. And that's that's I guess that's 1425 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,160 Speaker 15: why a little bit controversial at the time. I think 1426 01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,680 Speaker 15: Myles was saying that, you know people that said that 1427 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,080 Speaker 15: the maximum security prisoner was being built in the in 1428 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,480 Speaker 15: the center of christ Church. But yeah, so that's right. 1429 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 15: It's but you know, it's gray and quite sort of 1430 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 15: a dure on the outside, but when you come inside, 1431 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 15: it's you know, much reds And yeah, how. 1432 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Did they I don't know if you delved into this 1433 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 2: part of it. But the reason I raised Lewis Khan 1434 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 2: was because his big thing was he just did concepts, 1435 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 2: and so when he tended he said, there's my concept, 1436 01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,720 Speaker 2: but often his concept was about one hundred times more 1437 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 2: than the budget. How did they how did warrant and 1438 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 2: money be How were they able to do what they did, 1439 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 2: not just with the town Hall but generally within presumably 1440 01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:57,320 Speaker 2: the budgets of the time. 1441 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,680 Speaker 15: I think they they used the materials that were available 1442 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:07,080 Speaker 15: to them at the time. And if that was you know, 1443 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 15: concrete block, then so be it. So you know, the 1444 01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 15: sort of the bold ideas were often sketched and watercolored 1445 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,920 Speaker 15: by by Miles and you know, and the documentary he 1446 01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,960 Speaker 15: says that he you know, Morris says that he could 1447 01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 15: dream up an idea overnight, so he has the idea. 1448 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,560 Speaker 15: But but yeah, I think being quite realistic as well 1449 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 15: and running a business, you've got to Yeah, you've got 1450 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:34,720 Speaker 15: to you've got to sit to a budget. 1451 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 2: Now, you've got to make it dad up. I know 1452 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 2: Jerry Brown's in there because he had an instrumental role 1453 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 2: in post quite christ Church. And your message there about 1454 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,240 Speaker 2: fast tracking is interesting because broadly speaking, and I mean, 1455 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 2: it's lucky you didn't make a documentary about the cathedral 1456 01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 2: because it'll still be going obviously that's right. But but 1457 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 2: there is something about the we've got to get on 1458 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 2: with life versus doing it properly. So the message there 1459 01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 2: about fast tracking is what. 1460 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,640 Speaker 15: I suppose it's. I mean, we've we really wanted to 1461 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 15: talk to to Jerry because I mean everyone in the 1462 01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,440 Speaker 15: original sort of interviews, a lot of people keep keep 1463 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,320 Speaker 15: mentioning him, so we thought it was really important for 1464 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,600 Speaker 15: him to have have a say, and he had a 1465 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,519 Speaker 15: lot of hard sitons to make at the time. So yeah, 1466 01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,400 Speaker 15: I just wanted to ask him about that really, and 1467 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 15: you know what, what what was going through his mind 1468 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 15: and he says it, you know, there was the forefront 1469 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,719 Speaker 15: of his mind was you know, the safety of people's lives, 1470 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 15: that the city was facing possible depopulation, and you know, 1471 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 15: so you know, I mean, you know, I don't know 1472 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,160 Speaker 15: if there's there's a message. I mean, you can watch 1473 01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,040 Speaker 15: the film make him make your own mind up, but 1474 01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 15: we definitely let him have his have a say, and yeah, 1475 01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,680 Speaker 15: there's a nice little redemption moment at the end. I 1476 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,719 Speaker 15: don't know if people need to see the film, where. 1477 01:08:58,479 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 2: Where is it that? I mean, how do you get 1478 01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 2: home all of it now? Because it's been in theaters 1479 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,080 Speaker 2: and where where do you get access to it? 1480 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:08,960 Speaker 15: So well, it's just thing in thirty four cinemas around 1481 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,320 Speaker 15: the country at the moment. So and we're still in 1482 01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,639 Speaker 15: the middle of our you know, it'll probably start dropping off, 1483 01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,040 Speaker 15: but I don't know. You've got a few listeners out there, 1484 01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:21,680 Speaker 15: so it out there. Now is the time. So that 1485 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,640 Speaker 15: is pretty much from Kerry Kerry to Belcluther is what 1486 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:27,960 Speaker 15: we're what we're saying everywhere in between. 1487 01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 2: Good on you, well, congratulations on I thoroughly enjoyed it. 1488 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 2: Go well, and we'll talk again soon hopefully. Rick Harvey, 1489 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,639 Speaker 2: who's producer director of Morris and I and my summation 1490 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,320 Speaker 2: from it is, if you're from christ Church, we'll have 1491 01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,559 Speaker 2: a connection to christ Church, very moving. If you had 1492 01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 2: no particular connection to christ Church, still a great story 1493 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,960 Speaker 2: because Warren and Marney, in my humble opinion, little shorter geniuses. 1494 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,400 Speaker 2: So it's worth understanding who they are, where they come from. 1495 01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,880 Speaker 2: And that's before you get to Morris's house in Governor's Bay, 1496 01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 2: which is and if you've never seen it, look it 1497 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:03,360 Speaker 2: up to for twenty minutes past eight, the. 1498 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast with the Jaguar FBAs News Talks FV. 1499 01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 2: Mike is a christ huge person. This movie is I 1500 01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,000 Speaker 2: must see memories and hope for the future wrapped up 1501 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 2: in a great story. So that's nice, absolutely fantastic doc o. Mike, 1502 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 2: it is Mike. By this time tomorrow, I'm expecting that 1503 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 2: one of the worst kept secrets will be confirmed, Liam 1504 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,640 Speaker 2: Lawson being promoted by Red Bull. Clearly everyone in the 1505 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 2: f one Paddick knew that Singapore was Ricardo's last dance 1506 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,519 Speaker 2: and he looked like a dead man walking, but for 1507 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 2: some reason RB chose to delay the announcement. Now we 1508 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,880 Speaker 2: just have to see which seat Liam gets because Checko's 1509 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:39,719 Speaker 2: still vulnerable. My understanding it is tomorrow, overnight, tonight, tomorrow, 1510 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 2: and I expressed on the programming today, I have no 1511 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,519 Speaker 2: idea why they've done it the way they're doing it, 1512 01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:50,760 Speaker 2: but they are Checko safe. Liam will be jettisoned into 1513 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 2: the RB seat for the rest of the season with 1514 01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,599 Speaker 2: the possibility and this is more speculation on my part 1515 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,400 Speaker 2: than anything else. With the speculation because of course, one 1516 01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,479 Speaker 2: of the rumors we was that Perez might be held 1517 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,840 Speaker 2: until Mexico for obvious reasons and then let go. But 1518 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:06,920 Speaker 2: you're not going to let two drivers go in the season, 1519 01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 2: mind you Having looked at what he did, came tenth 1520 01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 2: in Singapore, so that's one point. They need a lot 1521 01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 2: more than that. And the week before he crashed he 1522 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 2: was running third in a crash, so he got zero points. 1523 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,280 Speaker 2: So Max is doing it by himself. They're already behind 1524 01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,439 Speaker 2: the constructors and so that's where the money is. So 1525 01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,639 Speaker 2: it's a fascinating time. But really, if it's overnight, tonight, tomorrow, 1526 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:29,520 Speaker 2: it's just it's just it's one of the great sports 1527 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 2: stories in New Zealand sports stories history. Now ACT this 1528 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,040 Speaker 2: morning and when it happens, we'll deal with it. Obviously, 1529 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,679 Speaker 2: ACT has obtained a copy of AUT's policy for funding 1530 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 2: research travel, where you get thirty percent more points to travel. 1531 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,759 Speaker 2: If you're Murray now you might have heard about this already. 1532 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,440 Speaker 2: It was on the Mic Hosking Breakfast several days ago 1533 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 2: and I raised it with the leader of the ACT party, 1534 01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 2: David Seymour, who obviously hung up the phone and rent 1535 01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:57,719 Speaker 2: straight down the hallway to Dr Palm. Jeet Palmer, who 1536 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,960 Speaker 2: got on to it, says allocating travel funding based on 1537 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,479 Speaker 2: race is a disrespect to those who would otherwise secure 1538 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,680 Speaker 2: opportunities based on merit. I think we all agree on 1539 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:10,080 Speaker 2: that after hearing reports of the existence of this policy, 1540 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,040 Speaker 2: that's code for David randalin the hallway. After she had 1541 01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:16,320 Speaker 2: talked to Mike and told me my office requested a 1542 01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 2: copy of the point system from AUT Wednesday morning, with 1543 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,360 Speaker 2: no response from the university. Really, I find that hard 1544 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 2: to believe. I emailed around five hundred AUT researchers over 1545 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,280 Speaker 2: the weekend asking them if they knew about the point 1546 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,240 Speaker 2: system and if they could provide a copy. This must 1547 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 2: have caused a stir because yesterday morning AUT sent my 1548 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,840 Speaker 2: office a copy of the point system. Many researchers told 1549 01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 2: me they were not aware of the point system, which 1550 01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:45,559 Speaker 2: is not listed publicly and is not easily found on 1551 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,879 Speaker 2: internal systems ACT. She continues, will continue to shine sunlight 1552 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,840 Speaker 2: on the discriminatory use. I also have this morning fresh 1553 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 2: off my facsimile machine from aut Kia. Aura Co two 1554 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 2: may be aware of recent interest in our travel policy, 1555 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,639 Speaker 2: particularly where Marian Pacific academic staff are recognized. I talked 1556 01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:08,800 Speaker 2: to the Minister of Tertiary Education last week. That was 1557 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,080 Speaker 2: Penny Simmons. We had her on the program as well. 1558 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,320 Speaker 2: She noted that there was good rationale for the policy. 1559 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 2: She also affirmed the autonomy and independence of universities. Now 1560 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 2: that technically is sort of true, but you're running a 1561 01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:27,040 Speaker 2: fairly fine line there, and it's not quite what she said. 1562 01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 2: But don't let that get in the way of a 1563 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,960 Speaker 2: good pr press release. We often need to prioritize says 1564 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,760 Speaker 2: aut groups to produce equitable outcomes and or meet our 1565 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 2: strategic goals. The policy is in line with our recent 1566 01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:46,080 Speaker 2: commitments to tatty. Our policies are publicly available through our 1567 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:50,679 Speaker 2: policy hub at www dot aut dot ac dot nz 1568 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 2: ford slash about slash policy dot hub, so you can 1569 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 2: see why it's a bit hard to get hold of 1570 01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,599 Speaker 2: a how about that address aut dot ac dot nz 1571 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:04,679 Speaker 2: Ford's slash about sport slash policy dash hub.

So they are independent, and I defend their independence. 1574 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,800 Speaker 2: And the bit that I don't like though, is that 1575 01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 2: they're overt. And you've got to remember where the money 1576 01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 2: comes from, comes from, you and I and the taxpayer. 1577 01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 2: And do you and I, as we sit here this morning, 1578 01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 2: agree that just based on race and race alone and 1579 01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,760 Speaker 2: for no other reason, somebody on that criteria gets a 1580 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,559 Speaker 2: better deal than anybody else. Surely that is wrong and 1581 01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,640 Speaker 2: do we not agree with that? News for you in 1582 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 2: a couple of. 1583 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:41,360 Speaker 1: Moments, your trusted source for news and fews, the Mic 1584 01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:46,440 Speaker 1: Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate, your local experts across residential, 1585 01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,240 Speaker 1: commercial and rural news togs EDB Mike. 1586 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,879 Speaker 2: The latest emailer received from red Bull at six seventeen 1587 01:14:51,960 --> 01:14:57,640 Speaker 2: this morning. Under drivers, they list only three verstap and 1588 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,200 Speaker 2: science and Lawson. I assume when you say science you 1589 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,400 Speaker 2: don't mean science, you mean prayers, unless you do mean science. 1590 01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,920 Speaker 2: And something's happened that I haven't seen very interesting. Murray, 1591 01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,400 Speaker 2: We're onto it, don't you worry. Totally understand Michael, government 1592 01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,840 Speaker 2: sentiments on the WFH director, But what about Wellington, Pori, 1593 01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:15,439 Speaker 2: rua Hut Valley, suburban s law businesses that have benefited 1594 01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,719 Speaker 2: from WFH. That was my point earlier on. They're trying 1595 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 2: to get better productivity in the public service. It's not 1596 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,720 Speaker 2: about buying coffee. Because the coffee was brought in per 1597 01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:27,679 Speaker 2: TONI or the coffee was brought downtown, depending on where 1598 01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,080 Speaker 2: you were, the coffee was still bought. But if you 1599 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,840 Speaker 2: bring people back to downtown. Downtown will do. But the 1600 01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 2: main point the government are trying to get across is 1601 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,959 Speaker 2: you need to be in the office to be more productive, 1602 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:39,599 Speaker 2: is their argument twenty two to. 1603 01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:43,960 Speaker 3: Nine International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance Peace of 1604 01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,880 Speaker 3: mind for New Zealand Business UK. 1605 01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 2: We go wrong. 1606 01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:47,639 Speaker 4: Little money mate, good. 1607 01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 2: Now there's conference of the Labor Party. Do they spend 1608 01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,360 Speaker 2: a lot of time talking about the freebies as there 1609 01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,519 Speaker 2: are a table of freebies they bring along that you 1610 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:56,280 Speaker 2: can grab, or. 1611 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:03,320 Speaker 4: There's rather to put that on the back burner though 1612 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:07,840 Speaker 4: you know this isn't a happy conference. Is It's remarkable 1613 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:12,879 Speaker 4: that this is a conference which follows their massive victory 1614 01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:17,320 Speaker 4: at the July the fourth general election. And what you 1615 01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:21,799 Speaker 4: get are senior members of the Labor Party being booed 1616 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 4: as they speak, such as for example, Rachel Reeves Chancellor 1617 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 4: because of her decision took up the winter payments to pensioners. 1618 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:37,080 Speaker 4: But it's not just that we now we're beginning to 1619 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 4: find out just kind of incrementally, moment after moment how 1620 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:51,439 Speaker 4: much these guys claimed from, you know, extra mural finances. 1621 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:58,000 Speaker 4: So Bridget Phillipson, she didn't only have one fortieth birthday party. Now, 1622 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,920 Speaker 4: I had a fortieth birthday party and it was down 1623 01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 4: the pub with some mates. You know, Yes, she had 1624 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:09,480 Speaker 4: one which costs fourteen thousand quid. That was the first one. 1625 01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:14,240 Speaker 4: But then she's admitted another fortieth birthday party also paid 1626 01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 4: for by the same guy, which is a guy called 1627 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 4: Lord Ali who was a longtime labor donor and who 1628 01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 4: paid for another bunch of money. And you know, she says, 1629 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 4: along with accusations that she'd been to see Taylors Swift 1630 01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:38,479 Speaker 4: free of charge while I had to my kids would 1631 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:43,720 Speaker 4: have been distracted. I haven't seen. It's just remarkable. I 1632 01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:49,880 Speaker 4: have never known a government deliquest into chaos and greed 1633 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:50,920 Speaker 4: so quickly. 1634 01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,479 Speaker 2: I've lost count of the number of shots I've seen 1635 01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,519 Speaker 2: of Stamer at the football. Did he atteend anything at 1636 01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,959 Speaker 2: all apart from the football as leader of the opposition 1637 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:00,680 Speaker 2: or was he just at the football permanently. 1638 01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,640 Speaker 4: I think it was at the football permanently, and of 1639 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,280 Speaker 4: course being at the football enabled him to be at 1640 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:10,920 Speaker 4: the football. It's in the guise of the Premier League 1641 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,800 Speaker 4: or whoever paid for him to sit in a special box. 1642 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,600 Speaker 4: It's just remarkable. I don't know why you need to 1643 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:20,360 Speaker 4: sit in a special box at Arsenal. Nobody said anything anyway, 1644 01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,879 Speaker 4: no one cheers. It's just the kind of North London. 1645 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,160 Speaker 4: It's kind of like a North London church where you're 1646 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:36,040 Speaker 4: silent for ninety minutes. But you know, it's just I 1647 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 4: have genuinely never know that, genuinely never known a government 1648 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 4: succumbs so quickly to this stuff, and don't forget that 1649 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,840 Speaker 4: this was what won them the election. That we are 1650 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,440 Speaker 4: not chances, we're not going to trouser money for ourselves. 1651 01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,960 Speaker 4: We don't believe that we should live differently to you. 1652 01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 4: Lot they do, a lot of them. 1653 01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 2: I was watching Angela on the television explaining this are 1654 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,200 Speaker 2: le is he the only donor? And how many millions 1655 01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 2: has he given? But I was watching Angela on the telly, 1656 01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,479 Speaker 2: and she was busy explaining his flat in New York 1657 01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,280 Speaker 2: was very useful when she went there for a holiday 1658 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,679 Speaker 2: and stuff like that. This line she and the other 1659 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:17,439 Speaker 2: scene to run that it wasn't against the rules or 1660 01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:20,120 Speaker 2: they did. Let somebody know, does that float or not? 1661 01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,080 Speaker 4: I don't think in the end that it does. I mean, 1662 01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 4: it's not simply that Angela Rayner is able to take 1663 01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,400 Speaker 4: you know, these holidays in New York, which you know, 1664 01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,720 Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind if I'm honest, and I'm someone who 1665 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:38,360 Speaker 4: might have voted labor in jolo course if I wasn't standing. 1666 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 4: But it's also we've just found out she spent sixty 1667 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:46,599 Speaker 4: eight thousand quid of taxpayers money. This is Angela Rainer 1668 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:51,519 Speaker 4: on on a photographer to make her look good. I mean, 1669 01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:57,000 Speaker 4: you know, you just this is beyond computation. If Boris 1670 01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 4: Johnson had done that, there would have been outrage, and 1671 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,639 Speaker 4: I think there's outrage now exactly. 1672 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,800 Speaker 2: David Lammey, where are we at with the criticism. 1673 01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 4: It's just it's very difficult to express. This is a 1674 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:18,400 Speaker 4: man who, when he was on a Mastermind Celebrity Mastermind 1675 01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 4: back in two thousand and seven, thought that the woman 1676 01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,639 Speaker 4: who'd won the Nobel Prize for Physics in two thousand 1677 01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:31,519 Speaker 4: and three was Marie Antoinette. You know this. He is 1678 01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:35,639 Speaker 4: possibly the thickest person ever to have held high office 1679 01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:40,280 Speaker 4: in the United Kingdom. And what he's done recently. Firstly, 1680 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 4: he's alienated the USA and Israel by deciding that Britain 1681 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:54,559 Speaker 4: needs to withdraw it's okaying for Israel to use certain 1682 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,120 Speaker 4: weapons and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But he's 1683 01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:03,160 Speaker 4: also managed to out rage the Armenians by saying that 1684 01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:08,160 Speaker 4: as by John was a liberating country, it's just you 1685 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,920 Speaker 4: have this is This isn't just Forrest Gump. This is 1686 01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:16,600 Speaker 4: rain Man. You know. This is a man with absolutely 1687 01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:21,519 Speaker 4: no grasp, no intellect, no wit, and he is our 1688 01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:23,479 Speaker 4: foreign secretary. Good luck? 1689 01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,759 Speaker 2: All right, might go, well, we catch up on Thursday. 1690 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Rod little out of the UK standby 1691 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,839 Speaker 2: fresh polls straight off the presses in a moment seventeen 1692 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:31,640 Speaker 2: to nine. 1693 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,559 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeart Radio 1694 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks it be. 1695 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 2: That's why from nine, I'll give you the numbers out 1696 01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,400 Speaker 2: of the states on the poll taken between seventeen twenty 1697 01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:47,320 Speaker 2: and twenty one September seventeen and twenty one, so it's fresh. 1698 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,760 Speaker 2: It deals with Arizona, George, et cetera. Anyway, I come 1699 01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:51,719 Speaker 2: to the numbers. He's been Trump has been in Smithton 1700 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,920 Speaker 2: and Pennsylvania this morning. He was trying to talk about 1701 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 2: China and terrorists. But often when he starts off on 1702 01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:58,960 Speaker 2: a subject that sort of it doesn't stay on the subject. 1703 01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,719 Speaker 22: So then brought an now the weakest border in history. 1704 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:03,920 Speaker 22: It was the best border we ever had. When I 1705 01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 22: was there, we built hundreds of miles of wall and 1706 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,880 Speaker 22: everything else, and it was the best border now. So 1707 01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:12,560 Speaker 22: weecause I had a handshake deal with him, it was 1708 01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:14,920 Speaker 22: going to happen very quickly. And then this side didn't 1709 01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:20,040 Speaker 22: didn't do anything about it, he said, And he suggested 1710 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 22: to me, anybody sends fentanyl to the United States, it's 1711 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,160 Speaker 22: the death penalty. They get the maximum penalty. They would 1712 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:30,400 Speaker 22: have done it. And then we had an election that 1713 01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:35,479 Speaker 22: didn't exactly work out too good, and it was a disgrace, frankly, 1714 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 22: And that deal went and a lot of other bad 1715 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 22: things happened, like Russia attacking Ukraine, October seventh, inflation, A 1716 01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,200 Speaker 22: lot of bad things happened, the horrible way we got 1717 01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,839 Speaker 22: out of Afghanistan. So many things happened that wouldn't have happened. 1718 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of bad things, so many bad things. 1719 01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,040 Speaker 15: That election was a disgrice, by. 1720 01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,559 Speaker 2: The way, so many bad things. The election. He built 1721 01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,759 Speaker 2: fifty two miles aboard us, not exactly the whole anyway, 1722 01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 2: here's the poll out this morning. We're dealing with Arizona, 1723 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,360 Speaker 2: Trump leads forty eight forty three, so that's outside the 1724 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,240 Speaker 2: margin era, so it's a good number. Forty eight forty 1725 01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:12,080 Speaker 2: three in Arizona, Georgia forty seven forty four, inside the 1726 01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:14,559 Speaker 2: margin of era at three points of significant. North Carolina 1727 01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 2: forty seven forty five, Trump over Harris in each of 1728 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 2: those poles. Mike, if you're doing your weekly NFL round up, 1729 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:28,479 Speaker 2: please don't forget the Bikings three nail starter. I was 1730 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 2: chatting with a friend from Seattle yesterday and I told 1731 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,360 Speaker 2: him about the Bikings and this is our year. He 1732 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,360 Speaker 2: replied to you're channeling, you're in a warrior. I'm surprised 1733 01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,640 Speaker 2: he'd heard of this quote in North America, Mike. If 1734 01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,839 Speaker 2: you look at the NFL, which I was watching yesterday 1735 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,400 Speaker 2: because I'm in love with Kirk Cousins after watching the 1736 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,559 Speaker 2: Netflix program Quarterback. Anyway, he's at the Falcons these days, 1737 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,519 Speaker 2: and they were about to beat the Chiefs, but they didn't. 1738 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:51,760 Speaker 2: Such as the way, you've only got four teams left, 1739 01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,480 Speaker 2: your Bikings, You got your Chiefs, your Steelers, and your Seahawks, 1740 01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 2: who are three and zero. So three weeks in thirty 1741 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,600 Speaker 2: two teams only four of the thirty two have an 1742 01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 2: unbeaten record so far, So it's going to be one 1743 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:06,639 Speaker 2: of those super exciting seasons I think, where anything could happen. 1744 01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:07,920 Speaker 2: Turn away from nine. 1745 01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:13,479 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Estate and News Talks, 1746 01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 1: Vy and Peace. 1747 01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,280 Speaker 2: A read the other day from The New York Times 1748 01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,520 Speaker 2: Why so Many? Speaking of the poll in the aforementioned 1749 01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:20,720 Speaker 2: why so many Americans are still undecided about who to 1750 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,719 Speaker 2: vote for? They conclude, look it up. It's well worth reading, 1751 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,000 Speaker 2: and they sort of argue their case relatively well. But 1752 01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,320 Speaker 2: they conclude by saying, to the undecided voter, this isn't 1753 01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 2: a simple choice between stability and peril. It's a choice 1754 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 2: between two candidates and coalitions that, for different reasons, don't 1755 01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 2: merit public confidence. And in a democracy, if you keep 1756 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 2: offering voters too bad choices, you shouldn't be surprised that 1757 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,599 Speaker 2: they will often choose the one you are sure as worse. 1758 01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,559 Speaker 2: Sums it up nicely, doesn't it, Mike. We run a 1759 01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,400 Speaker 2: team building company in Mattakana. Must be Good Life. Matticana's 1760 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:55,000 Speaker 2: Beautiful started in two thousand and four. We're now seeing 1761 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,559 Speaker 2: corporate groups arrive with staff members who have never met 1762 01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 2: Some have worked for their organizations for four years. Their 1763 01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,519 Speaker 2: ability to work as functional teams as well below the 1764 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:05,800 Speaker 2: average of those who daily engage with their fellow workers. 1765 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:09,599 Speaker 2: Isn't that good? Max? Well done? You never met worked 1766 01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:10,760 Speaker 2: for the company for four years? 1767 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:10,880 Speaker 4: Min? 1768 01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 2: I just suppose that's corporate, isn't. Internationally, if you work 1769 01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 2: for an international operator, chances are you've never met I. 1770 01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:20,120 Speaker 14: I've worked with Richard Arnold for yeah, good point twenty 1771 01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:23,679 Speaker 14: three years more slightly more than there, and I've never 1772 01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:24,080 Speaker 14: met him. 1773 01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:31,200 Speaker 2: No, So what's your problem? Don't raise your problems with us, 1774 01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:33,560 Speaker 2: klint Well, especially at this time the program when we 1775 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,640 Speaker 2: don't have time to deal with them properly. Thanks for 1776 01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,320 Speaker 2: introducing and indoctrinating me over time to the American football 1777 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:42,040 Speaker 2: and Formula one racing is not Christian Horner, a narcissist 1778 01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,559 Speaker 2: and very frustrating person. Lilliam should tell them to get stuffed. 1779 01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:51,719 Speaker 2: I don't think Liam's going to tell them to get stuffed. 1780 01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 2: I tell you what. Two things that I've really reveled 1781 01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,600 Speaker 2: in and enjoyed so far this week and it's only Tuesday. 1782 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,760 Speaker 2: One was Aaron Rodgers watching him last fright as the 1783 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 2: New York Jets quarterback play for the first time unhindered 1784 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:08,760 Speaker 2: by any sort of injury, and they had a fabulous win. 1785 01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 2: And he's just such a class act to watch. If 1786 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:13,680 Speaker 2: you ever want to in revel in watching people at 1787 01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,719 Speaker 2: their very best, look at him. He is so cool. 1788 01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:19,639 Speaker 2: And then yesterday I watched Daniel Riccardo as he got 1789 01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,200 Speaker 2: interviewed a number of times about his departure from F 1790 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 2: one in that kind of I know, you know, we 1791 01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,000 Speaker 2: know that, you know you know that we can't say 1792 01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:30,959 Speaker 2: kind of way and talk about hold yourself with dignity, 1793 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:35,479 Speaker 2: And it's no wonder everyone loves him because he is 1794 01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 2: such an engaging, likable person and it's only in the 1795 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,719 Speaker 2: worst of times that the best of you comes out. 1796 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:45,720 Speaker 2: And you saw the best of Daniel Ricardo yesterday and 1797 01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,040 Speaker 2: he handled it as well as, if not better than 1798 01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:51,320 Speaker 2: you could ever possibly dream. And then the subplot was 1799 01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:54,240 Speaker 2: Max for Stappan and Max for Stappan who comes across 1800 01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:57,719 Speaker 2: if you follow F one is a very robotic, hard ass, 1801 01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,679 Speaker 2: take no prisoners, and that many respects is why here's 1802 01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 2: the champion. He years is actually I think a nice guy. 1803 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:06,880 Speaker 2: Liam Lawson has spoken very kindly of him previously, has 1804 01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,720 Speaker 2: been one of the few who shows an interest in 1805 01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 2: younger drivers. And I won't explain it, but Ricotta had 1806 01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,280 Speaker 2: a bad time in Japan a couple of months back. 1807 01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 2: The only driver reached out to him was for Stapping again, 1808 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,240 Speaker 2: who texted him and said, don't worry about it. Don't 1809 01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,920 Speaker 2: listen to them. You're better than that. And so it's 1810 01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,040 Speaker 2: just nice to see that, you know, behind the facade, 1811 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,479 Speaker 2: it's like me, a lot of people don't think that 1812 01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:30,639 Speaker 2: I'm a nice guy.
