Richard Arnold, 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 2: State Side, Murray Olds in Australia, Husky, Welcome to Friday, 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: seven past six. Accas and crisis. I'm not sure if 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: that's news to you or not. They're sinking in sea 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: of debt. They're forecast in four short years to begin 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: the whole to the tune of twenty six billion dollars. Now, 13 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: there are side issues like court cases, who make decisions 14 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: that envelop the organization into a fiscal level of responsibility 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: they can't calculate, and in that I feel sorry for them. 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: But their turnaround plan, which has just been launched, involves 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: them getting back to black in said four years that, 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: if done, will be well worth applauding. Now I've got 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: no doubt it can be done, mainly because The problem 20 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: is one of will and determination, but it does involved 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: tough decisions, a bit of backbone, and a whole new attitude. 22 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: Couple of key figures give the story away in my view. 23 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: Figure one. The number of people in the past decade 24 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 2: who are on long term payments has gone from twelve 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: thousand to twenty four thousand. In other words, is doubled. 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: Is the population doubled in that time? No, it has not. 27 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: Have we fallen over a lot more? Not necessarily? Have 28 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: we milked a system able to be milked, Yes we have. 29 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: Figure two, cost of rehab same period, it's gone from 30 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 2: two billion a year to four billion, doubled as inflation doubled. No, 31 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: it hasn't. Have people seen ACC coming and adjusted their 32 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: costs accordingly, Yes they have. The whole thing is not 33 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: a lot short of a scam. It's an industry in which, 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: if you take your eye off the ball, make the 35 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: rules convoluted, and look to scrimp and save in the 36 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: wrong areas, it's ripe for the sort of calamitous outcome 37 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: that's clearly eventuated. Literally half the country claims ACC each year. 38 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: It's astonishing, it's not normal. Recently, family member was a 39 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: recipient of ACC without boring you with the details. At times, 40 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: ACC seemed determined this person should not return to work. 41 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: There was a rigid inflexibility in their approach. 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: Rules were rules. 43 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: Ironically, this family member was desperate to get back to work, 44 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: but said any number of doctors and specialists not before 45 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: just a bit more treatment. Do that two million times 46 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: over in your twenty six billion in the whole. The 47 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: good news is there is no reason it can't be fixed. 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: The question mark is do they have the gonads and 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 2: the wherewithal who? 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: News of the world in ninety seconds? 51 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: Right, it's busy four things, Greenland, the border, peace, the 52 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: Middle East and the other war involved in all of this, 53 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: As this guy who signed his board into existence. 54 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: We've settled eight wars and I believe in other one's 55 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: coming pretty soon. 56 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: You know what that is? 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: The one that I thought was going to be an 58 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: easy one turned out to be probably the most difficult. 59 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: But we have meetings who we think were making a 60 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: lot of progress. 61 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 2: Glaring thing about the board at the moment is it 62 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: looks a bit fringe. Slovenia, for example, one of the 63 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: many many not on board. 64 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 4: Even though we are absolutelysolutely supporting any initiative to bring 65 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 4: to end the. 66 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 5: Suffering of the Gaza population. 67 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 4: We absolutely believe that that can be only done under 68 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 4: the umbrella of United Nations. 69 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Little Marco meantime as point man in the Middle East. 70 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 6: So the focus first and foremost on making sure that 71 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 6: this peace steal on Gaza becomes enduring. And I know 72 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 6: this president has it its highest priority and we'll give 73 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 6: it everything he has to make sure that this is successful. 74 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: As regards Iceland, I'm in Greenland. The Danes are thinking 75 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: Britain for the help. 76 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 7: I like the British way of doing things. As you said, 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 7: you are very pragmatic. You have a cup of tea 78 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 7: and then you think a bit about anything. You get 79 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 7: effects on the table and then you find a way forward. 80 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: Well, Sepior of Courses never want to shy away from 81 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 2: recognize himself as a hero. 82 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 8: In terms of recent developments of the withdrawal of the 83 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 8: threat of terrorists, I see that as a reflection of pragmatism, 84 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 8: common sense and stepping to our values and our. 85 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: Principles, which leaves of course the war are where this 86 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: bloke remains frustrated. 87 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: Just last year here in Doubles, I ANDed my speech 88 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: with awards.

Finally, yes, Macron, 91 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: Why the ab eight is? That was questioned the week? 92 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 5: Wasn't that? 93 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: The internet said Brigitte had given him another slap, But 94 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: turns out it was a burst blood vessel and the 95 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: right eye upside. The makers of the glasses, Henry Julian 96 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: or as they would say in France, have been inundated. 97 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: Their big thing is gold. They integrate the gold into 98 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: the base metal. Anyway, their site crashed. Of course, Macron's 99 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 2: actual model, if you want to know, is the specific 100 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: SOO one double gold. He bought two pairs, one for 101 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 2: diplomatic gifts another one for himself thirteen hundred each, which 102 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: is right up there in terms of sunglasses, News of 103 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: the world and looking cooler than ninety. Greg will give 104 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: you more detail in the moment. But South Korea bit 105 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 2: anemic on the old growth. One point five was the 106 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: GDP number. But as I say, more shortly any time Japan. 107 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: This is the ongoing story. So exports five point one 108 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: percent up in December, good number. Mainland China climb five 109 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: point six, Hong Kong thirty one percent, US down eleven percent. 110 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: There's a trend for you.

But more of the 117 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: detail later. As I say with Murray, fifteen past Generate 118 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: green Smith, morning to you morning. So the migration number, 119 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 2: the big question around that is the drain over. Have 120 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: we finished leaving the place? 121 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,559 Speaker 9: Thanks for getting a bit better? So I would say 122 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 9: the word to use as plateau. And so your net 123 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 9: migration annually was seven hundred and they've been betweenty twenty five. 124 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 9: So it's well down in twenty nine thousand a year 125 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 9: ago and a world away from that twenty twenty three 126 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 9: peak of one hundred and thirty five thousand and five hundred. 127 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 9: But yeah, brain drain easing, particularly to Australia. Arrivals are 128 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 9: as well that Mirgrant arrivals are down nine percent, departures 129 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 9: up four percent. Still lots of non New Zealand citizens 130 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 9: driving our population growth. So near game they have fifty 131 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 9: one thousand. It's slightly above the long term average. But 132 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 9: Kiwi's leaving a net loss of forty thousand, eight hundred. 133 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 9: Set's three thousand lower than a year ago, so it's 134 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 9: good news, I think. Also good news Stats New Zealand 135 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 9: actually revised down the number of New Zealanders permanently even 136 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 9: many of them. Turns out we actually traveling, not immigrantic, 137 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 9: so it's good as well. On a monthly basis, nine 138 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 9: hundred was the game, so that's positive. Yeah. Obrall mad 139 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 9: migrating pressures are easing, not as doomy and gloomy as 140 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 9: it was.

Down one 169 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 9: point four percent December, two percent lower than a year ago, 170 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 9: and well he is still shown down were maintain, but 171 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 9: if we want a better story, let seasonally adjust those numbers, 172 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 9: say they're actually up zero point two percent, So a 173 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 9: bit of stability there, but a lot of regional divergence 174 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 9: might that probably wouldn't surprise of prices in rural regions 175 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 9: doing really much better than cities Southland that was up 176 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 9: eight percent. Gusey prices the median basis up twenty five 177 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 9: percent year on year and can be doing quite well 178 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 9: as well at three point six percent, so still very 179 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 9: much a buyers market. My housing stock higher than a 180 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 9: decade or around about that level, even after eating slightly 181 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 9: in recent months. It was a positive meeting days to 182 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 9: sell that to decline two days to thirty nine. But yeah, 183 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 9: we talked a lot about rate cuts and they're doing 184 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 9: well for a lot of the economy, but not housing 185 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 9: having ignited a boom. So looking ahead of the rest 186 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 9: of the year, I think abens obviously flag the end 187 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 9: of the cutting cycle, so you know, with higher listings 188 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 9: and building activity and slow population growth. I think it's 189 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 9: probably a soft year at best for housing and probably 190 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 9: not the one way bit it used to be. 191 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: Give me the explanation for career. What's going on there? 192 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 9: So look the sort of a tale of two sides 193 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 9: where the economy is quite sluggish. So they actually seth 194 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 9: krean economy shranked point three percent of December. It was 195 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 9: the steepest contraction since twenty twenty two. But so the 196 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 9: domestic economy is quite weak. But exports hit a record 197 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 9: seven hundred and nine billion. All about AI, Mike, familiar story. 198 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 9: See there's been some trade fictions to deal with. But 199 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 9: Seth Creer, they struck a deal with the US back 200 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 9: in November. It's investing a couple of one hundred and 201 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 9: investment in the US and one hundred and fifty billion 202 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 9: the news shipbuilding. But yeah, AI demand surge twenty two percent, 203 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 9: so that really drove the exports. And yeah, the economy 204 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 9: might be a little bit sluggish overall, but the stock 205 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 9: market is certainly not so. The costly benchmark US to 206 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 9: say through five thousand for the first time, and lots 207 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 9: of markets had a good year last year, but none 208 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 9: more so than seuth Korea. Its stock market has doubled 209 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 9: over the past twelve months, so names like Samsung that's 210 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 9: nearly tripled over the past year, memory chip maker s 211 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 9: k Henezet's up to forty percent, Hondai Motor that's up 212 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 9: one hundred and seventy percent. So exports a little bit 213 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 9: stuft in the quarter, but yeah, really strong over the year. 214 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 9: There is always sort of trade I suppose concerns to 215 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 9: sort of be aware of. Trump's actually proposed to twenty 216 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 9: five percent tear off on AI chips, but it looks 217 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 9: like it's more targeted towards the advanced chips made by 218 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 9: video and am ds running the memory chips made by 219 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 9: self career. Yes, the stock market could continue to be 220 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 9: on fire and the good times might continue rolling those 221 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 9: steth Korean tech companies. 222 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 2: Are the numbers, please. 223 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 9: We've had a strong day on the Greenland deal and 224 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 9: on US inflation coming in line with expectations in two 225 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 9: point eight and the very dated third callter GDP in 226 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 9: the US coming at four point four percent in terms 227 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 9: of growth for the economy.

No one loves Gordon Ramsey more than I do, 302 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: but you get to a point where how many times 303 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: do you want to hear Gordon Ramsey walk into a 304 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 2: kitchen go oh shit? Because that's basically what happens, isn't it. 305 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: But I'll be watching. Having said that, forestry ets a 306 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: government doing their very best to wind down the ets 307 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: to a point that people can live with, which is 308 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: no bad thing. So another move on forest forestry and 309 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: fees around it. We'll have a look at this directly 310 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: after the news her news talks ab. 311 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: The newsmakers and the personalities, the big names talk to 312 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: Mike the Mic asking Breakfast with the Defender, Embraced the 313 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: Impossible news talks de b. 314 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 2: I believe Zelenski's speech Urbane and Davos was a well considered, 315 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: well constructed well thought through argument. And I think that 316 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: probably because it turns out he's articulated what I think 317 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: about Europe, which collectively speaking, are uselessly too often. 318 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 4: Europeans tone against each other, leaders, parties, movements and communities 319 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 4: instead of standing together to stop Russia, which brings the 320 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 4: same destruction to everyone. Instead of becoming a truly global power, 321 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 4: Europe remains a beautiful but fragmented kaleidoscope of small and 322 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: middle powers, instead of taking the lead in defending freedom. 323 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: So he's got a point, hasn't he? And a very 324 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: good point? Twenty three minutes by the way back to 325 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: Dabos with Richard Arnold Shortley. Meantime back here, more change 326 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: coming for forest owners over the Etes, this time looking 327 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: to catridgis re costs. Fees would drop from fourteen dollars 328 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: ninety per hectare to ten twenty five EDMUND Costs would 329 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: also be updated, more targeted and lower fees. Doctor Elizabethhigg 330 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: is the Forest Owners Association CEO and as with us, Elizabeth, 331 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: good morning, Good morning, mikeel So two times they've lowered 332 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: it all. Does this sit well with forest owners? Are 333 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 2: we where we need to be? 334 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's got a lot better, and that's through two things. 335 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 13: So we've got a reference group that's been working with 336 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 13: the Minister from across the forestry sector and as a 337 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 13: as a member of that, what we've been looking for 338 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 13: is efficiency in the government processes and MPI has done 339 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 13: a good job of finding ways to bring those costs 340 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 13: down of operations and then also looking at moving some 341 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 13: of the stuff that in that annual charge into targeted 342 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 13: fees where if somebody is going to be using a 343 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 13: service multiple times, we shouldn't all be having to pay 344 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 13: for that, right. 345 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: So you're paying list but what you do pay is 346 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: in a more efficient fashion. Is that a fair summation? 347 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 13: Correct? 348 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 2: Okay? Does it encourage more planting and or purchasing of land? 349 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 13: Not really at this stage, and I'll be honest with you. 350 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 13: Next year we're looking at nursery orders being down about 351 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 13: twenty to fifty percent. So the LUC changes with registration 352 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 13: have really put the brakes on new planting. So and 353 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 13: this includes a fee for assessing applications for the ets 354 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 13: that would include assessing that LUC restriction. So that's I 355 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 13: think going to keep the pressure on any new a forestation. 356 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: So how many people why am I buying forests, am 357 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: I buying and planting to grow some logs and sell them, 358 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: or am I doing it for ETS? 359 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 14: For a bit of both generally, So generally it would 360 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 14: be probably a bit of both, although this is going 361 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 14: to have shifted the dials where it's more going to 362 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 14: be on the timber side of things, most. 363 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 13: Likely for new a forestation. And look, we're working on 364 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 13: ways that we can increase export value, get more processing 365 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 13: on shore. I mean, we want to get our cost 366 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 13: margins into a better place than where we're at right now. 367 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 13: But this ETS funding really helps, particularly our smaller scale 368 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 13: foresters and farm foresters, to be able to meet what 369 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 13: have been some really inflationary costs over the last few years. 370 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 13: So I think we're going to keep pushing for the 371 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 13: confidence to come back in the emissions trading scheme because 372 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 13: it is an important aspect of forestry investment. That being said, 373 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 13: we need to add value on the timber side as well. 374 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: Exactly good to talk to you, Elizabeth Goough Well, doctor 375 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 2: Elizabeth hik Is the Forest Owns Association. Whilst speaking which 376 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 2: nineteen two, wall is back baby struggle for years. Of course, 377 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 2: of all the farming stuff in this country, dairies, obvious 378 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: beef lamb We've told you that story a million times. 379 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 2: Even forestry, by the way, logs are looking a lot 380 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: better than they were. But wool has been a problem. 381 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: But we've got a ten year high price at the moment. 382 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: This is woolworks, so wool prices generally have gone to 383 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 2: a ten year high. Changing landscape, they say, reduced international 384 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 2: wall clip available, so that's good for us. So the 385 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: scoured New Zealand wall, India love it. Europe can't get enough. 386 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: China has always been a bit touch and go on 387 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 2: the price, so the moment the price gets to a 388 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 2: certain point, the Chinese bail no pun intended. But India 389 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: and Europe are loving us at the moment. India alone 390 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: are taking over twenty percent of our clips. So that's 391 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: all good news as well. And what really has been 392 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: a very good news week economically speaking. Richard Next nineteen 393 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: to two. 394 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: The Mic Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 395 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 396 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 2: At B could happen today tonight our time, possibly over 397 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: the weekend, but it's pending. So there's a blow called 398 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 2: Andrew Gwynn. This is significant, so he's a former Labor minister. 399 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 2: He's on the brink of standing down. Is the significant 400 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: yesterdays I just said it was Andy Burnham, So there 401 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 2: remember the name. If you haven't followed this story, this 402 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: is going to be potentially the end of keya Starmer. 403 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: So Andy Burnham is the mayor of Manchester. A lot 404 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 2: of people in Labour and British Labor want Andy to 405 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 2: be the Prime Minister or the leader of the Labor Party. 406 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: Problem is he can't because he's not actually in the parliament. 407 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: So anyway, this bloke Gwynn was suspended last year. Newspaper 408 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: reported offensive messages he sent via WhatsApp. He's about to 409 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 2: stand down because he's just done a deal in his 410 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: Manchester's seat and he gets a pension to walk away 411 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: on health ground. So that's the scandal in itself. But 412 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 2: be that as it may. So when he walks away 413 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: que the by election, who stands in the by election? Burnham? 414 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: Is it a safe seat? You bet it is? Labor 415 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 2: won it by thirteen thousand. Suddenly Burnham's in the Parliament. 416 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 2: Then what does Burnham do? Stand by six forty five. 417 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, Peace of mind 418 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business. 419 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: Richard, how are you. 420 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 15: I'm doing well. 421 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 2: We will leave details on this Greenland Iceland. 422 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 16: Details you want details? Sorry? No, After all the storborn fury, 423 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 16: Trump is returning to the White House with a little 424 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 16: in hand. As anticipated, he ditched his invasion tarast threats 425 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 16: over Greenland and emerges. 426 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: With this, well, we have a concept of a deal. 427 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 16: That idea. The concept of a plan is how Trump 428 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 16: also talks about his health reform ideas, right. It's a 429 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 16: description he's been using from about the past decade, with 430 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 16: no plan actually surfacing after all that time. Trump was 431 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 16: pressed about the Greenland concept in the. 432 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 17: United States, having told her Sugar Greenland, like you've said 433 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 17: you wanted log Hoard. 434 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: It's a long. 435 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 16: This concept of a deal is said to have been 436 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 16: shaped in a meeting with NATO's Secretary General Mike Rutter, 437 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 16: who was pressed on the details by Fox News as well. 438 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 15: Here's how that went. 439 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 6: What I don't hear is Greenland and still is it 440 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 6: still under the Kingdom of Denmark in this framework deal. 441 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 8: That issue did not come up anymore in my conversation 442 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 8: for Mandress of Pleasant didn't. 443 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 16: Even talk about it. Denmark's Minister says Greenland sovereign, the 444 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 16: use quote non negotiable. What they are open to is 445 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 16: the Greenland being used as part of this so called 446 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 16: Golden Dome anti missile system kind of like Ronald Reagan's 447 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 16: Star Wars thing back in the day, and an extension 448 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 16: of US controlled military bases. But the US already has 449 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 16: basing rights in Greenland under an agreement reached in nineteen 450 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 16: fifty one. Folks, through NATO and the US had more 451 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 16: bases there in the past than they demolished them. So 452 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 16: is this anything other than the status quo? You have 453 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 16: to wonder. Meantime, the whole ruckets has brought many slurs 454 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 16: against the NATO allies, Trump himself referring four times, got 455 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 16: to love this to Greenland as Iceland. 456 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: Not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell 457 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 3: you mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday 458 00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: because of Iceland. 459 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: So Iceland's already crossed the Salada. 460 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 16: Greenland Iceland. You know they're both pretty cold, right. Trump 461 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 16: also told a room of German speakers at Davos that 462 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 16: without the US they would all be speaking German. His 463 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 16: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant weighed in on Denmark, calling the 464 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 16: country and its ten billion dollar US investments quote irrelevant 465 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 16: Denmark because had the highest per capita death toll among 466 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 16: US led forces in Afghanistan. The Belgian PM said being 467 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 16: a happy vassal is one thing. Being a miserable slave 468 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 16: as something else. Canada's Marke Khney, who was in Beijing 469 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 16: last week brokering new trade deals, said, quote, let me 470 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 16: be direct, we are in the midst of a rupture, 471 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 16: not a transition. And this distancing from Europe was apparent 472 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 16: was the announcement of Trump's new so called border peace. 473 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 16: Apart from Hungary's dictator Victor Orban, there were no Europeans 474 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 16: at this event, which did draw Russian acolyte Belarus. France 475 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 16: and Norway and Sweden have said no thanks to paying 476 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 16: the one billion dollars that Trump is seeking as a fee. 477 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 16: So far, only one country has agreed potentially pay into 478 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 16: the Trump Fund. That is Russia and Vladimir Putin. 479 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 2: They tell me Marty's Supreme's pretty good, So the nods deserved. 480 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 16: I guess I think it was about half an hour 481 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 16: too long, but I'll I'll take the advice of some others. 482 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 16: The film industry, though, has been changing shape in recent years, 483 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 16: with the streaming becoming the norm of course, and movie 484 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 16: houses struggling ever since COVID. It's affecting the award shows 485 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 16: as well. Although the events starting the awards season, the 486 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 16: Palm Springs Film Festival that just wrapped up, drew some 487 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 16: pretty big crowds. They had one hundred and eighty films 488 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 16: on show.

No change 561 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 2: for the year, ten dollars less than it was a 562 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: year ago. Meeting around the country of six twenty, big 563 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: losses around the place. Cheaper in Auckland three percent down 564 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: on the year, Hawks Bay three, Wellington seven point seven, 565 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 2: so it's tank good for the rent is not for 566 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 2: the landlord's three point three down in Nelson, Tasman south 567 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 2: from most of the country actually fell. The only people 568 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 2: who went up with Canterbury and Taranaki five to seven. 569 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: The ins are the outs.

December, what have we 572 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 2: got spending wise? December itself was down zero point one, 573 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 2: so I think we can call that flat. That's that's 574 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: no big change from November. November, of course, was gangbusters. 575 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 2: Core industry spending down zero point two month on month, 576 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,479 Speaker 2: Apparel down three point six, crows not moving, consumables down 577 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: zero point one, durables down zero point one, So that's 578 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: flat for all intensive purposes non retail. So that's your 579 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 2: two arrangements, your curry as you travel, your health care 580 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: that's down one point four. Services down two point one, 581 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 2: so that's material bright spot hospit up one point four. 582 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 2: So we all had a beer and a sausage, so 583 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 2: that's good or a sausage roll. Total card spinning fell 584 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: by ninety seven million. Is that a lot? Not really, 585 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: because you know you're talking about billion overall, one hundred 586 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 2: and ninety five million transactions. This is on cards. Average 587 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: spent was fifty eight bucks a pop quarterly. Now that's 588 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: where we should be looking. So that gives you a 589 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 2: real trend. So for the quarter that's actually up, that's decent. 590 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: The December quarter was up half a point half a percent. 591 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: Apparel was the only category to go backwards, so that's 592 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: a problem. So you look to the edge and glass 593 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: and Talensteins, all that sort of stuff. For those numbers 594 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: when they come through throughout the year, So Mount Long 595 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 2: ANDUI will get the update. Mark Mitchell seems to have 596 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: spent his week on site, so I think at the 597 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: beginning of the week we started with them up north 598 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 2: and he's ended on the Mount, so we'll get the 599 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: updates in that situation for you. Inflation coming today a 600 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 2: big story of the year. Of course, the ACC turnaround. 601 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: I mean the numbers are I walk twenty six billion 602 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: dollars in debt and as I said at the start 603 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 2: of the show, they can get themselves out, just requires 604 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: a little bit of backbone and some fairly tough decision making. 605 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 2: So we'll have to talk about that. Tourism they're saying 606 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 2: this morning numbers are good, which they are last half full, 607 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 2: but we are still not back from COVID.

Of course, we get tragedies like 641 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 19: this because unfortunately we've had so much weather and rain 642 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 19: that the ground had lost the ability to absorb anymore. 643 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 19: And that's why we've just seen a massive amount of 644 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 19: slips sort of right down our eastern seaboard reine. 645 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 2: Which brings me to the question.

So there's that, but then there's 648 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 2: that more general story that there are parts of this 649 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 2: country that you've got to start asking some serious questions 650 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 2: about how many people live there, how many roads a 651 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: we're going to repair, how long are we going to 652 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: do this for, and whether we need to get stuck 653 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: into a fairly serious conversation, don't you Yeah. 654 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 19: So that, yes, I agree, that's a much harder and 655 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 19: broader conversation that we had between central and local governments 656 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 19: and communities, because yes, you know, in inundation adaptation, I mean, 657 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 19: you know, those are all serious questions that we have 658 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 19: to ask and we have to be brave enough to 659 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 19: deal with there's quite at Simon Watts sort of hiding 660 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 19: up quite a bit of work around that. I'm supporting them, 661 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 19: and of course local governments have turned their mind to 662 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 19: that and they're doing a fair bit of work on 663 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 19: them as well. 664 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 2: But for today at the Mount, we simply have to 665 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 2: let them do their work and wait. 666 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's very tough. 667 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 19: It's the obviously, you know, very somber mood. As I 668 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 19: was leaving you, I was talking to one of the 669 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 19: police officers that just broke down in tears that there's 670 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 19: a lot of emotion. Everyone is trying to wrap as 671 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 19: much support around the families as we can and try 672 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 19: and shoulder as much as we can with them because 673 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 19: as you can imagine, when you've got loved ones trapped 674 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 19: in a landslide, the way as. 675 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 2: Torturous indeed go well. I make appreciate it very much 676 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 2: and to pass on our best to all concern. Mark Mitchell, 677 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: who is in the bay. Of course, this morning ten 678 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 2: minutes past seven, I really started thinking about that question 679 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 2: yet again with State Highway too, and at some point 680 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: we're going to have to get serious in this country 681 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: about how many times we're going to be just park 682 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 2: up the tragedy aspect of it. But we're going to 683 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 2: have to ask ourselves some serious questions about in the rural, 684 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: remote parts of New Zealand, the infrastructural cost. I mean, 685 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: the marble sounds probably comes into that category. I think 686 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 2: back to Matatar for example. I mean, there are certain 687 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 2: parts of this country it's become increasingly clear we simply 688 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 2: can't afford to live in. But that's perhaps for another day. Right, 689 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five inflation numbers, they're coming today in a 690 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 2: week that's actually been very good for our economy going forward. 691 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 2: Is inflation playing its part? Is it at least close 692 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 2: to being in that zero to three percent box? Mark 693 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 2: Smith as ASB Senior economist and as with us Mark morning, 694 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike. RB has two point seven, so that'll 695 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 2: be a mess. You're on zero point six. So you're 696 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: seeing some heat here. 697 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 15: Slightly high. Yes, to be fair to the RBN said, 698 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 15: some December pricing data came out after they finished their 699 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 15: forecast and that was considerably stronger than expected and that 700 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 15: resulted in the market revising up their packs to around 701 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 15: three or three point one for the year. 702 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm reading about miles workman, you're mate today 703 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 2: and zid yesterday he's talking about accommodation, international travel. Was 704 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: that a surprise. 705 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 15: Some of those aspects were, Yes, accommodation particularly and international 706 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 15: air fairs. These are recently volatile. What we have been 707 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 15: seeing it late has been that inflation rate had been 708 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 15: sort of called by much lower sort of tradable goods 709 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 15: and services. Those things are now starting to turn around 710 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 15: a bit and that's contributing to pushing up that headline 711 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 15: and flash round. 712 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 20: A little bit. 713 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 2: The fun game, if you want to call it. That 714 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 2: is where the RB comes into this. So February's a 715 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 2: dead set hold. Fair to be fair, Yet Okay, when 716 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 2: do we start talking realistically about hikes or is that 717 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 2: way too soon? 718 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 15: I think probably a little soon, But again it's going 719 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 15: to be conditional on that inflation outlook. I think the 720 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 15: rbnz's view is that there's still a bit of spare 721 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 15: capacity in the economy and that should be sufficient to 722 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 15: push down domestic inflation, which can contribute to overall inflation 723 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 15: going closer to two percent on sort of over much 724 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 15: of the year. I think the issue that we have 725 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 15: is that there are still a lot of cost out 726 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 15: there Unfortunately. The treasure is we've just had. This means 727 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 15: more costs that have to be paid and those things 728 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 15: that are contributing to keeping inflation higher than it would 729 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 15: otherwise be. As well as that, we're starting to see 730 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,439 Speaker 15: a lot more resilience in the New Zealand economy, which 731 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 15: is a great thing. The thing will be some of 732 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 15: those things that have been holding down domestic inflation rates, 733 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 15: for example, construction costs and rents, they might start to 734 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 15: turn around as well. So as a result, we might 735 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 15: see inflation posting three percent rather than two percent over 736 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 15: this year. 737 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 2: In Layman's terms. You bullish for twenty six or not. 738 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 15: Yes, we are. We put it at a piece earlier 739 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 15: in the year. We're very polish on the year. Yes, 740 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 15: it was a bit of a false signal last year. 741 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 15: We think that everything's pretty much lined up for a 742 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 15: very good year. 743 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 10: Now. 744 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 15: What really needs to happen is, though, is that pricing 745 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 15: pressure that needs to remain contained if they can, and 746 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,720 Speaker 15: that will result in it is they're keeping the official 747 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 15: cast rates for as low as they can be. 748 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 2: That's ope. So marke go Well Mark Smith, who's the 749 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 2: ASP senior economists thirteen pasted pasking how much wait am 750 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: I reading into the Courier Pole yesterday? None really, but 751 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 2: but will build up a picture of Poles throughout the year. 752 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 2: The reason I put no real weight in it is 753 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 2: because New Zealand first went up three point eight. New 754 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 2: Zealand first did not go up three point eight. Nothing 755 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 2: happened in the ensuing period between Poles for suddenly basically 756 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 2: a third of their entire support to suddenly materialize. That's 757 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 2: what's wrong with poles up one down one margin. Abera 758 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 2: fully understand it. But the broad picture is that the 759 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 2: incumbent government will remain incumbent, and that Labor, despite Chippy's 760 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,439 Speaker 2: very best effort to have a go this week, needs 761 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 2: to look at the numbers and at sixty three seats 762 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 2: to fifty seven, he's the one who needs to convince 763 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 2: the rest of us that he needs another go or 764 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 2: deserves another go. Fourteen Past. 765 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: The High Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Howard 766 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: by News talks. 767 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 2: At be government. Books by the way, came out yesterday. 768 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 2: There's sort of that ongoing update. Things are better than 769 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 2: we thought, So I'll crunch you through a couple of 770 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 2: numbers when I get a chance, and I'll get back 771 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 2: to the storm video. You've seen the storm video of 772 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 2: the guy from the council watering the plant in the 773 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 2: middle of a rainstorm, seen by one and a half 774 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: million people. I've got a theory round that. But anyway, 775 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 2: more shortly now mackis they've got the big ticktoo over 776 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 2: the Golden Arches. This is the twenty four to seven operation. 777 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 2: This is in Wanaka. This time consent was granted and 778 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 2: this time through a non notified process. Now Quentin Smith 779 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 2: is the Deputy mayor of the Queenstown Lakes Council area. 780 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 2: In Quentin's with this morning mate, goody doing today, I'm 781 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 2: very well in Doe. A couple of questions off off Peace. 782 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 2: One of the too many empty houses in your region? 783 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 20: Almost certainly you know this certainly one of the feeders 784 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 20: of the housing affordability problem in our district for sure. 785 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 2: Right should I live at Millbrook? 786 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 20: Look? I mean, you know one of the things in 787 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 20: this country we have the choice to make those decisions. 788 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,479 Speaker 20: I mean, it wouldn't be a place that I would 789 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,439 Speaker 20: choose to live, but there's many people who choose chose. 790 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 2: There's just a couple of nice houses here, and I 791 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 2: was looking at one yester and now I thought, is 792 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: this a good life to be on a golf course? Anyway, 793 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 2: that's beside the point bat question. 794 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 20: They've got lovely golf course, that is true. 795 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 2: Where are you at with Macca's twenty four to seven 796 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 2: and wonaka? 797 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 20: Yeah, Look, it's been an interesting journey for us. And 798 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 20: obviously there has been a previous consent that got a 799 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 20: lot of attension and was subsequently declined by the commissioners. 800 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 20: Now that was primarily a Landy's decision. That was obviously 801 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 20: a commercial activity with you know, as you say, twenty 802 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 20: four hour operation and what was a rural zone and 803 00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 20: it was adjacent to our you know, very important nine. 804 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 20: So yeah, the more recent application, the one that's just 805 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 20: been approved, is in a commercial area in what they 806 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 20: call the Three Parks Commercial Development, and it was in 807 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 20: a commercial zone. So I suppose it's. 808 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 2: They've done that first time round with they have not 809 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 2: had the hassle or is one it could full of 810 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 2: just a bunch of snobby nimbies. 811 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 20: No, look, definitely not a bunch of snobby nimbi's. I 812 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 20: think they probably would have been successful if they'd applied 813 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,760 Speaker 20: for it in a commercial in one of the commercial 814 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 20: zones first time round. But look, there's a range of 815 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 20: reasons that people in the community opposed the original application. 816 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 20: Some of them relate to you know, fast food, health, 817 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 20: some of the right to the litter, and some of 818 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 20: them were visual impacts and land use matters that were 819 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 20: obviously the ones that were the planning matters that were relevant. 820 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 20: But look, I have a lot of sympathy one bechas 821 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 20: of rapidly changing places. It's moved from four thousand people 822 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 20: up to sort of nineteen thousand people since the time, 823 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 20: you know, in twenty years or so, and that's changing 824 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 20: very rapidly, and people struggle with the rate of change. 825 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 20: And some of the things some of the changes are good, 826 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 20: and some of them they don't want. They don't want 827 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 20: to say. 828 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff. Quentin, nice to talk to you appreciate 829 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 2: it very much, Quentin Smith. I'm actually struggling with a 830 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 2: change of Wanaka and I don't even live there. That's 831 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 2: why I asked Tony Brown, yes today when. 832 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 21: He was on the progress But come on, Tony Brown 833 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 21: would have been stoked to hear that one, because finally 834 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 21: getting a McDonald's names well. 835 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, he would be Yeah, But I know people who 836 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 2: live in Wanaka on a part time basis, and even 837 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 2: they admitted quite openly to me that they are snobs 838 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 2: and they don't like McDonald's and they didn't want McDonald's 839 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 2: here in the first place. Mike, you would you be 840 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 2: considering purchasing the Michael Jones statue for the pull room? Well, 841 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 2: this is the point, Connell. If I bought in Millbrook, 842 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 2: there's plenty of room for a Michael Jones statue. So 843 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 2: I mean, join some dots to all coming together for 844 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 2: me the big picture planned. I don't know what the 845 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 2: big picture plan is, but you know it's just I 846 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 2: sit here occasionally just live on radio and just. 847 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 21: Could you put it and the drive through window of the. 848 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 2: McDonald's wouldn't that be funny? 849 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,959 Speaker 21: And then Michael Jones is like literally serving your that's 850 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 21: too cool, you nuggets. 851 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 2: These are good thoughts. This is this is why the 852 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 2: show is so successful. There's a lot of blue sky 853 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 2: goes on, sort of random blue sky, but every now 854 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 2: and again, some of it's good. 855 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 1: Seven twenty the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio. 856 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: How of my news talk Zippy? 857 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 2: Now, let me tell you about Nevill Nibbles and the 858 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 2: Bay of Plenty, and he's a very good example of 859 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 2: why Resonate Health is so successful. So a competitor told Nevill, right, 860 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 2: you can't wear your hearing aids on your motorbike and 861 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 2: you shouldn't wear them a the lawn. So Neble thinks 862 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 2: to himself, well, hold on, when am I actually supposed 863 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 2: to wear these things at all? So he gave them back, 864 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 2: but then he saw an ad for Resonate Health, and 865 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 2: once he dealt with Resonate, he's not looked back, obviously, 866 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,360 Speaker 2: because Resonate actually listened. So if he's got any issues, 867 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 2: he just jumps on the old bike, rides on over 868 00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 2: and they sort it out on the spot. He says, 869 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 2: its absolutely brilliant. Now he can hear his Ducatti properly again. 870 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 2: And if you do ride, whether it's a Decati or not, 871 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 2: you know that you love a motorbike engine of course. 872 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 2: So the right hearing care does help, and it works, 873 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 2: so it gives you basically your life back, your hobbies back, 874 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,439 Speaker 2: your joy back. So if you've had the run around, 875 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 2: I eight hundred seven three seven sixty six two I 876 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 2: eight hundred seven three seven sixty six two or go 877 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 2: to resonate health at dot co dot m zhsky seven 878 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 2: twenty four.

Not that it matters now, 908 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 2: of course, But Conney has the quote of the week 909 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 2: in my book, closely followed by Mark Mitchell on Wednesday. 910 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 1: Or the last those little ex. 911 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: Tennis. 912 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:05,359 Speaker 10: Eight. 913 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 2: New research shows of all physical activity, nothing is better 914 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,959 Speaker 2: than ten inness for longevity.

Well, 924 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 2: it's one point one billion dollars lower than outline, so 925 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 2: that's encouraging. Core tax take two hundred million lower at 926 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 2: forty nine billion, company tax three hundred million lower, GST 927 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 2: down a couple of hundred million, but it was offset 928 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 2: by the rise of other individual's tax revenue, state owned enterprises, 929 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 2: Crown entities, they earned more financial markets boosted, the value 930 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 2: of the super fun Crown speed exactually one point one 931 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 2: billion dollars lower, so they're spending less and earning more. 932 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 2: Net debt and there's the key, that's the critical number. 933 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 2: Net debt was nine hundred million lower than expected, still 934 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 2: at forty one point six percent of the total value 935 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 2: of economy, which is way too high. But things at 936 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 2: this stage anyway, it'll fluctuate, obviously, but things at the 937 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 2: stage anyway are looking better than they were, and in 938 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 2: that we will take Because the aforementioned acc have got 939 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 2: a gargentue whole twenty six billion dollars worth of debt 940 00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 2: projected by twenty thirty. But they have a plan. We'll 941 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 2: talk to the head of ACC next. 942 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: There's no fluff, just facts and fierce debate. The Mic 943 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: Hosking Breakfast with Vida, Retirement Communities, Life Your Way News, 944 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: togs head be. 945 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 2: Speak you through some of these tourism numbers. Headline things 946 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 2: were improving, so good, good good. Other headline that you 947 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,439 Speaker 2: won't hear, unfortunately, is we're still not back to where 948 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 2: COVID was. So some numbers and the intimiicating after twenty 949 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 2: three to seven. A plan by ACC, as we've outlined 950 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 2: this morning, to dig themselves out of their fiscal hole. 951 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 2: Without change, they're going to be twenty six billion in 952 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 2: debt by twenty thirty, So focus on cracking down on 953 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,879 Speaker 2: overpaid claims, moving people off scheme faster, tightening rules around 954 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 2: what's covered, et cetera. Meghan Maine is the a SEC's 955 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 2: chief executive and is back with us for the new year. 956 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 2: Megan Morning, Good morning, Mike. As a task, could I 957 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 2: use the word herculean or gargantuan? Would that be fair, Mike? 958 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 17: It's ambitious, you know. The turnaround plan would see us 959 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 17: getting back to a balance by twenty thirty between those 960 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 17: lifetime costs of injuries and the investments we've got. But 961 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 17: I think it's achievable. I believe it's achievable. 962 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 15: You know. 963 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,960 Speaker 17: It's informed by the external review last year, it's informed 964 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 17: by our own modeling, it's informed by the experience of 965 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 17: our own people of what our best ever performance is. 966 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 17: And the other thing, Mike is it's already paying off. 967 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 17: We're already seeing the results. So that's what gives me confidence. 968 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 17: The thing I would say, though, is we're doing everything 969 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 17: we can, but we can't do this on our own. 970 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 17: And I think I spoke to you about this last time. 971 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,920 Speaker 17: Everyone needs to play their part so that the scheme 972 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 17: is sustainable. It's providers, it's employers supporting people to work 973 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 17: at it, and it's injured people being really active in 974 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 17: their own recovery. 975 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 2: I don't want to be unfair to a public broadcaster, 976 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 2: but I happen to hear an interview last year when 977 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,240 Speaker 2: this thing was a topic again, And what the media 978 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 2: tend to do is they go find the poor schmuck 979 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 2: who's been on acc for twelve years, and he outlines 980 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 2: the endless problems he's gotten. How it's also unfair and 981 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 2: you're all a bunch of bastards. How many people do 982 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 2: you pay that really are milking the system? 983 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 17: Oh, Mike, you know, we've all heard the stories of 984 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 17: people who are taking advantage of acc and my message 985 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 17: is always it's not a victimless crime. We're all paying 986 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,799 Speaker 17: for that. What we're doing is through our one to 987 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 17: W case management, more and more of that. We're having 988 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 17: those early conversations with people. We're making sure they're getting 989 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 17: the support they need, but we're also having a lot 990 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:15,640 Speaker 17: more conversations where things are off track, where we need 991 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 17: to do assessments to see if people should still be 992 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 17: on the scheme. And so that's the way that we're 993 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 17: making sure that we're not taking away support from people 994 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 17: who really need it, but we're making sure people get 995 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 17: the right support for the injury that we should be funding. 996 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:32,240 Speaker 17: That's really important. 997 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 2: Can I give you one example. I don't think it's 998 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 2: sort of the criticism of you because it comes to 999 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 2: the broad question how much of the equation here of 1000 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 2: what you're trying to do is the recipient milking the 1001 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 2: system versus you guys not providing what you should in 1002 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 2: a proper way. 1003 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 17: Well, the thing in our control, MIC is our focus 1004 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 17: on doing our part of that. So we're having early 1005 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 17: conversations with people, we're strengthening our pro this is, we're 1006 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 17: doing more reviews. But as I say, we need to 1007 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 17: make sure that we're still able to give the support 1008 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 17: to people who genuinely need it. But I would say, 1009 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 17: you know, I would say to all New Zealanders that 1010 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 17: we really need people to do the right thing. 1011 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 2: Because the example I have of a person I know 1012 00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 2: it was they wanted to get back to work. And 1013 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 2: I don't know how you solve this problem, but they 1014 00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 2: wanted to get back to work. But your system operates 1015 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 2: on a way that that person must return to the 1016 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 2: work they were doing instead of going, Look, this injury 1017 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 2: is a bit of a problem that what you were 1018 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 2: doing you probably can't do for another six months. How 1019 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 2: about we point you in this direction somewhere knew where 1020 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 2: you can work. Do you see what I'm saying? 1021 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,280 Speaker 17: Yeah, And look, it's really hard to talk about individual cases, 1022 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 17: but I hear what you're saying, and we've got to 1023 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 17: make sure that we're putting that return to work at 1024 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 17: the center of the plan for someone's recovery. 1025 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the return to what work? Is that the 1026 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 2: specific work they were doing, and unless they can do 1027 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 2: that specific work, they'll never return to work potentially, or 1028 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 2: could you have a set of rules, regulations, whatever where 1029 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 2: you go. Look, all we're looking to do is to 1030 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 2: get you back to the workforce, or you can and 1031 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 2: you're allowed to. 1032 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 17: Do to talk about individual cases, because that's exactly what 1033 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 17: we should be doing. If someone can't return to their 1034 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 17: previous job, then we absolutely look to get them work 1035 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,359 Speaker 17: ready for something else, right, And we're doing a lot 1036 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 17: of that at the moment. So it's hard to talk about. 1037 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 5: But does that work? 1038 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 2: Is that a successful approach? 1039 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 17: Well, our role is to get someone able to be 1040 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 17: independent enough to get back into the workforce, not to 1041 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 17: not to actually be responsible for them getting a different job. 1042 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 2: Oh that's interesting. That's because in the circumstance I'm giving you, 1043 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 2: that wasn't the case, That wasn't the message that was 1044 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 2: being sent by you people. 1045 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 17: Well, I would encourage your contact to reach out to 1046 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 17: their case. 1047 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 2: They're better in their back of the workforce, and they 1048 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 2: couldn't kill they've all moved on. My other concern for you, Meghan, 1049 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 2: is how come so many of us are on a 1050 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 2: sec This is abnormal. I mean, two million claims a year. 1051 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, Michaeh. 1052 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 17: I know we've talked about this before, and I know 1053 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:22,799 Speaker 17: you're one of our gold standard people without claims. You 1054 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,839 Speaker 17: know a lot of those claims are very minor. We've 1055 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 17: got to remember that. You know, at any one time, 1056 00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 17: of those two million, they are about one hundred thousands 1057 00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 17: that we're actively managing. 1058 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 9: Now. 1059 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,800 Speaker 17: That is still a lot, and you know this comes 1060 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:41,879 Speaker 17: back to having them take care. The big increase we're 1061 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 17: seeing in accidents and injuries is around the home and 1062 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 17: in the community. That's where it is very preventable, and 1063 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 17: we want people to stay safe. That's ultimately the best 1064 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 17: way that we all have this scheme fifty years into 1065 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,320 Speaker 17: the future well and beyond. 1066 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 2: All I can do, Megan is wish you the best 1067 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,479 Speaker 2: of luck and we'll stay in touch, Meghan Maine, who's 1068 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 2: the acc chief Executor. But as I outlined on the 1069 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 2: program earlier on the number of people on long term 1070 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 2: claims is doubled. The cost of healthcare or providing that 1071 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 2: care each year over the past ten years has doubled. 1072 00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,759 Speaker 2: So the population hasn't doubled yet the number of people 1073 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 2: on long term care. Has the cost of inflation or 1074 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,879 Speaker 2: health or the cost of living hasn't doubled, and yet 1075 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 2: the cost of providing that care has. So that's where 1076 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,840 Speaker 2: they start. I guess seventeen to two. 1077 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, Power 1078 00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:32,320 Speaker 1: by the News. 1079 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 10: Talks at be. 1080 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 2: Mike, I think the GPS signing people onto ACC need 1081 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,839 Speaker 2: to be looked at yes and no because they hand 1082 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,560 Speaker 2: out those forms with alacrity. You get oose as a 1083 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 2: GP reaching into your left hand drawer pulling out your forms. 1084 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,160 Speaker 2: If you've ever been there, done that, when all you 1085 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 2: do is sit on your ass and talk shit, not 1086 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 2: much risk of needing ACC. MIC now ha ha there obviously, 1087 00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,719 Speaker 2: apart from being morally amusing, which you are and well done, 1088 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 2: congratulations on that. If I thought that I could take 1089 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,320 Speaker 2: that to ACC, You've got no idea how much ACC 1090 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 2: I pay as a person who operates my own thing, 1091 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 2: and I pay thousands a year for ACC. So if 1092 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 2: I could personally just take this and go, look, why 1093 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 2: am I paying you guys? Because all I do is 1094 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 2: sit on my ass and quote unquote talk shit, and 1095 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,080 Speaker 2: ACC then goes, oh, we didn't realize that, mister Hoskins, 1096 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 2: so we won't charge on thousands of dollars a year 1097 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 2: for it. 1098 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 21: You'll be laughing at the other side of your face 1099 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 21: when you come in here and trip over a bit 1100 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 21: of drop mints pie on the carpet. 1101 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 2: I reckoned Glen that after forty five years in this industry, 1102 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 2: the chances of that happening are increasingly slim because my 1103 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:43,280 Speaker 2: movement's now contained. 1104 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 10: Of course. 1105 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,240 Speaker 21: Yeah, but there is a lot more drop mins pie. 1106 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,360 Speaker 2: Pie round here since teeth turned up. That's true. Okay, 1107 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 2: So to the video. I hadn't seen the video. I 1108 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:53,879 Speaker 2: not on social media, but I saw the video once 1109 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 2: it became mainstream news yesterday. There's a video floating round. 1110 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 2: It's been seen by five one point five million people, 1111 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,320 Speaker 2: and it's a guy from the council and he's watering 1112 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 2: a plant in the middle of the storms this week, 1113 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 2: and so everyone goes, why's the guy I'm wandering a 1114 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 2: plant in the million and what to do first? It's 1115 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 2: all that sort of social media stuff. Anyway, one of 1116 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,360 Speaker 2: the councilors went and found out what was happening, and 1117 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,279 Speaker 2: what was happening was sure enough that guy was you 1118 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,200 Speaker 2: can't argue with it. He was going out wordering a 1119 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,320 Speaker 2: plant in the middle of the storm, and the counter 1120 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 2: argument was that they have a contract. These companies are 1121 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: contracted to make sure the council planted trees stay alive. Now, 1122 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 2: once again, obvious question, why would you need to worry 1123 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 2: about a tree staying alive in the middle of a rainstorm. 1124 00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 2: Fair question. So the culmination of the investigation concluded that yep, 1125 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 2: they probably shouldn't have been there in the middle of 1126 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 2: the rain. But the more important, the bigger picture, which 1127 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 2: is why I raised this is this is everything that's 1128 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,400 Speaker 2: wrong with New Zealand, and it goes back to our 1129 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 2: vector story I told you about earlier on people on 1130 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,880 Speaker 2: the end of the phone. No one's empowered anymore. And 1131 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 2: no one's empowered anymore, and I'm not sure whether it's 1132 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 2: checking or egg. No one wants to be in powered. 1133 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 2: No one wants to have any level of responsibility. No 1134 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 2: one wants to have any level of designation or No 1135 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,759 Speaker 2: one wants to wake up in the morning and own it. 1136 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to do a better job. No one wants 1137 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 2: to think for themselves. No one wants to be invested 1138 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 2: in their work or their company or their output. They're 1139 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 2: just gormleous morons who go, oh, no, no one told me 1140 00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,800 Speaker 2: to do anything different, And that's why you're standing in 1141 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 2: the middle of the rain watering a plant. Because if 1142 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,040 Speaker 2: you went up to that bloke and said, why are 1143 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,680 Speaker 2: you standing in the middle of the rain watering a plant? 1144 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 2: You'd go that's what I do, isn't it. That's exactly 1145 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 2: what they'd say. And you go, did you think about 1146 00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 2: maybe not doing that? And I go, no, I wasn't 1147 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,600 Speaker 2: told to see, that's what's wrong with you. 1148 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:41,400 Speaker 21: Whereas you could be standing in the middle of the 1149 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,080 Speaker 21: rainstorm filling up a pool. 1150 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,520 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I'm just saying that's what's 1151 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 2: wrong with New Zealand. No one owns anything anymore. Next 1152 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,759 Speaker 2: time you're on the phone to a vector or a 1153 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 2: company like that and you say, what can you do 1154 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 2: about it? The answer will be nothing. What do you 1155 00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,360 Speaker 2: know about it? The answer will be nothing. Can I 1156 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 2: talk to your team leader? The answer will be can 1157 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 2: I have an email for your team leader? The answer 1158 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 2: will be known. No one wants to own anything anymore 1159 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,960 Speaker 2: because it's all too hard. Am I right or am 1160 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:09,399 Speaker 2: I right? 1161 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 1: Team to waight the Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Vita 1162 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,920 Speaker 1: Retirement Communities News togs Head been. 1163 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,440 Speaker 2: Light seven away from a quick word around the tourism. 1164 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:20,760 Speaker 2: Good economic news this week, plenty of it and the tourism 1165 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 2: numbers add to that. I think three point four eight 1166 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,400 Speaker 2: million arrivals. That's up two hundred and fourteen thousy do 1167 00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 2: last year, highest level since March of twenty twenty. They're 1168 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 2: coming from the States, Asia, Europe, China, all up, up, 1169 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,839 Speaker 2: up and up. Grant Webster's the chief executive, of course, 1170 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 2: of Tourism Holdings Limited, and it's back with us. Grant Morning, 1171 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 2: good morning. Do you see it? 1172 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,680 Speaker 12: Absolutely yep, and I think there's more to come. January 1173 00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,839 Speaker 12: February are going to be even better than what we've 1174 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 12: just seen released for November. 1175 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,480 Speaker 2: So is your story this year? Are you still a 1176 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 2: bit train seasonal because the idea is that we're just 1177 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 2: busy all year round, or do you see it busy 1178 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 2: all year round? 1179 00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 12: I know we're very very seasonal, and I think that's 1180 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 12: the next thing for us to continue to look at. 1181 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,240 Speaker 12: You know, funding, seasons and regions are the three things 1182 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,840 Speaker 12: that I would say the next big strategic things because 1183 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 12: the whole comparison to pre COVID, we're just about over that. 1184 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 2: So while I was going to say what should I be, 1185 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 2: Should I be optimistic that I like these numbers, or 1186 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 2: should I go but hold on, we're still below COVID. 1187 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 12: Yeah, so the below COVID thing is going to fix 1188 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 12: itself this calendar year or in the next twelve months, right, 1189 00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:28,840 Speaker 12: So that's naturally happening. But with the extra funding that 1190 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 12: tourism New Zealand's got. The other benefit that we're going 1191 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 12: to remember is that the US people going to the 1192 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,200 Speaker 12: US is a disaster at the moment, that's still really 1193 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,560 Speaker 12: poor and we're all benefiting from that Canada, Australia and 1194 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 12: it course ourselves. So you know that might not be 1195 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 12: the case forever. So we've got to keep competing. 1196 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 2: How real is our dollar problem? Which becomes a good 1197 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 2: thing for them? 1198 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 12: Well, it is a good thing for the US traveling 1199 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,000 Speaker 12: here obviously, that's part of what's what's improving us right 1200 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 12: at the moment. So yeah, we're a good, well priced 1201 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 12: destination of this point in time. Let's make the most 1202 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:01,320 Speaker 12: of it. 1203 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:02,960 Speaker 2: And does that make that? I mean, if I turn 1204 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 2: a forty two p into a dollar I mean that 1205 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 2: has to be material, doesn't it. 1206 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 12: Yeah, it is. It makes a difference with what people 1207 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 12: spend on the ground. I think I've said this before, 1208 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 12: not necessarily where people want to travel, it does to 1209 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,919 Speaker 12: a degree, but they spend more when they're here, they 1210 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 12: do more activities, so they do more expensive activities. 1211 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,520 Speaker 2: The negative always tell me we're expensive, which I think 1212 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 2: we are, but surely that's counteracted by the our dollar 1213 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 2: at the moment. I mean, we must seem cheap, mustn't we. 1214 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 12: It's look, it's all relative right to different destinations. Where 1215 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 12: a long haul destination which makes us it puts us 1216 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 12: in the high value category. But that's fine. It's still 1217 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 12: on a relative basis where we're cheaper than what we've been. 1218 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 2: Right are those campaigns I've talked to people like Louise 1219 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 2: Upston working now, the regional campaigns Australia campaigns. 1220 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 12: They work absolutely, working, working well. They need to continue 1221 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 12: to be funded. 1222 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 2: Right And the number this morning I heard somewhere one 1223 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 2: million have gone to Queenstown is that too many? Are 1224 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,440 Speaker 2: we all queens Town esque? And we need to be elsewhere? 1225 00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:07,439 Speaker 12: Look, yeah, so as I said, funding seasons regions, so yeah, 1226 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 12: good opportunity to keep spreading it around. But Queenstown getting 1227 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 12: those kind of numbers doesn't mean that we should sort 1228 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 12: of stop tourism or pull back in any way. Let's 1229 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 12: just keep going because it's driving jobs. That's what we 1230 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 12: need we do. 1231 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 2: Indeed, Grant and us to catch up again. Grant Webster, 1232 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 2: the chief executive Tourism Holdings. By the way, I don't 1233 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 2: have time at the moment, but I did want to 1234 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 2: ask the question with the All Blacks playing South Africa 1235 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 2: and Baltimore, can you see it? And they're going there 1236 00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,280 Speaker 2: for the money? I mean, what is Baltimore want? I 1237 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 2: want to go watch South have Who play? But I 1238 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 2: mean there's expats and all that. So it's a thing. 1239 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 2: It's a financial thing for the New Zealand Rugby Union. 1240 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 2: When it is a thing for the New Zealand Rugby Union, 1241 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 2: how long before we don't actually have any tests left 1242 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 2: in New Zealand because you've got the Northern Tour and 1243 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,440 Speaker 2: we're just going to go play all our rugby in 1244 00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 2: America because if you go do that, that's where the 1245 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 2: money is. You see a trend building here. I mean 1246 00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 2: Chicago I sort of got and now suddenly it's Baltimore. 1247 00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 2: This this seems to me anyway more.

Great banter. 1614 01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 10: Is that true? I'm loving this. What's his name? I'm 1615 01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:02,559 Speaker 10: going to send him a big I'm ap to send 1616 01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:03,720 Speaker 10: him a prize, Christ and. 1617 01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 2: The Sunshine Coast. I would guess he's in Maruchi Oral 1618 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:07,519 Speaker 2: Malula Bar. 1619 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 10: Well, that's very kind of and that's very very nice. 1620 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 10: Thank you so much. All Right, I love less talk about. 1621 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 2: Can I ask you this question because I think I 1622 01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 2: can go quite quite in depth about it. Yesterday give 1623 01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 2: them the coalition fell apart just after the election, but 1624 01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,040 Speaker 2: then they put it back together again. Was what happened 1625 01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,840 Speaker 2: this week in the complete collapse a direct connection to 1626 01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,160 Speaker 2: the election, or was this in and of itself a 1627 01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,439 Speaker 2: thing that would have blown them apart even if after 1628 01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:36,599 Speaker 2: the election had never happened. 1629 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,080 Speaker 10: Well, it's a good question. I think what happened after 1630 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:44,920 Speaker 10: the election, right? I mean? David Little Proud detests Susan Lee. 1631 01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 10: She is a Liberal who holds the country seat. Her 1632 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,360 Speaker 10: seat is faraugh. She's been there for a quarter of 1633 01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:53,560 Speaker 10: a century and under the old agreement, the Nationals and 1634 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 10: the Liberal Party would never run against each other. So 1635 01:17:56,439 --> 01:18:00,879 Speaker 10: Susan Lee has been occupying a absolute blue ribbon country 1636 01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,960 Speaker 10: Liberal seat and the Nationals would like nothing more than 1637 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,679 Speaker 10: to get rid of her and get a National person 1638 01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:10,240 Speaker 10: in there. Personally, Apparently I know nothing about this firsthand, 1639 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:15,719 Speaker 10: but we understand out of Cambri David Little Proud can't 1640 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,160 Speaker 10: stand Susan Lee. And what happened after the first little 1641 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 10: ruckus the Fraca that led to the split of the 1642 01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,800 Speaker 10: coalition for a week. They put a band aid on it, Mike, 1643 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:27,920 Speaker 10: that's the best way you can describe it. And this 1644 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:30,280 Speaker 10: was always going to happen. This has been coming for 1645 01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:34,080 Speaker 10: a long time, and ever since Susan Lee was elected 1646 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 10: as the first female leader of the Liberal Party. And 1647 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,520 Speaker 10: you don't throw over someone like with that sort of credential, 1648 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,479 Speaker 10: the first female I mean say it slightly because the 1649 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 10: Liberal Party's ever been there before. And look, she hasn't 1650 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:53,479 Speaker 10: performed particularly well, but she knows the reality. And you 1651 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,479 Speaker 10: don't govern in Australia from the far right, you don't 1652 01:18:56,880 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 10: fall enhance will never form government and all these people 1653 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 10: who were bailing out from the Liberal Party saying they're 1654 01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,760 Speaker 10: just Labor light, they are looking for a home. And 1655 01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:10,800 Speaker 10: look at the last figures, Pauline Hansen actually outrates the 1656 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,479 Speaker 10: coalition over here and that's never happened before in the 1657 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 10: last poll. I know, I was just going to say, so, 1658 01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:22,240 Speaker 10: Susan Lee is disappointed so many people on so many fronts. 1659 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 10: She hasn't been able to take the fight to Robin 1660 01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:27,360 Speaker 10: Easy and the Labor government. They are riding high and 1661 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,320 Speaker 10: with the margin that he's got, the parliamentary margin he's got. 1662 01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,200 Speaker 10: No wonder Albanezi was smug and complacent and you know, 1663 01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,000 Speaker 10: just sitting on his hands for this entire term so far. 1664 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 2: Exactly so that you raised the point I was going 1665 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:40,800 Speaker 2: to raise in the moment. More importantly, let me ask 1666 01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,960 Speaker 2: you this, both Lee and Little Proud, I'm assuming for 1667 01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,280 Speaker 2: the gun, are they and will they both go one go, 1668 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:47,880 Speaker 2: no go? What happens? 1669 01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:53,639 Speaker 10: Well, look, they're both not Neither is well liked within 1670 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:58,599 Speaker 10: their own parties, certainly by the conservative elements in those parties. 1671 01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:03,080 Speaker 10: The National Party, they have Little Proud apparently, you know, 1672 01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,639 Speaker 10: he's he's as weak, you know, he's as weak as anything, 1673 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,840 Speaker 10: weak as water in there. I mean his supporters will say, 1674 01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:12,160 Speaker 10: oh no, no, he's a good leader. I mean he's look, 1675 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 10: he says, he's he's like vanilla custard. Right, do something, 1676 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 10: do something, sport, stand up for the bush. Oh I am, 1677 01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,240 Speaker 10: I'm blowing up the coalition. That's not pretty good, mate. 1678 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:26,000 Speaker 10: Because and as for Susan Lee, you've got these sharks 1679 01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:34,080 Speaker 10: circling like Andrew Hasty and what's his name? Got no 1680 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,040 Speaker 10: Canniban camp because he's in the Nationals in the Senate. 1681 01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:41,160 Speaker 10: Who's the other guy, Angus Taylor. Angus Taylor is like 1682 01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,080 Speaker 10: a He's like a shark, just circling around. He's got 1683 01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 10: his own bunch of supporters. But he was exposed bay 1684 01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,880 Speaker 10: be exposed in the run up the last election that 1685 01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,360 Speaker 10: was catastrophic for the Conservatives of the year. He was 1686 01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 10: Dunton's shadow treasurer. Well, he was absolutely bloody hopeless, had 1687 01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 10: no policy, nothing to say. And if he's the leader, 1688 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 10: will hel they be rubbing his hands together again. So 1689 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,720 Speaker 10: are they both gone? Lee and little Proud? Well they 1690 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 10: probably are. Certainly Susan Lee is gone. I suspect And 1691 01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:15,479 Speaker 10: there's any number of men conservative men in there who 1692 01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,240 Speaker 10: have put their hands up. But boy, boy, whoever wants it. 1693 01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,519 Speaker 2: It's amazing, big, big job. But here's the thing. Can 1694 01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,360 Speaker 2: is it possible that at an next election, because you 1695 01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,519 Speaker 2: can't not have an opposition? And if the Libs are 1696 01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,559 Speaker 2: the big of the party of the three and therefore 1697 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,360 Speaker 2: they are technically the opposition, but if they can never 1698 01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,800 Speaker 2: form government, could they be a minority potentially? Could they 1699 01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 2: potentially be a minority government and help get the help 1700 01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:40,160 Speaker 2: they need the same way Labor gets their help sometimes 1701 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:42,720 Speaker 2: with independence, et cetera, and run the country that way 1702 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 2: or no. 1703 01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,880 Speaker 10: It's such a big ask. I mean, Labour's got ninety 1704 01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 10: four seats in the Lower House and that's where the 1705 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,720 Speaker 10: stuff is done. In the ninety four seats out of 1706 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 10: one hundred and fifty. Now the Liberals and Nationals between 1707 01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:00,439 Speaker 10: them have forty three. Based on the last and pole 1708 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 10: from Monday this week, Pauline Hanson's One Nation outrages them. 1709 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:08,000 Speaker 10: The only way I can see Labor getting rolled over here, 1710 01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 10: and this is fantasy, is if the National Party does 1711 01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:16,400 Speaker 10: a deal with one Nation. And look what happened to 1712 01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:19,840 Speaker 10: Barnaby Jewish. He was he was deputy Prime Minister and 1713 01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 10: here he is now with Pauline Hanson CosIng up to her. 1714 01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,680 Speaker 10: When she stands up in the Parliamentary courtyard with her 1715 01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:29,720 Speaker 10: bunch of halfwits behind her, she looks like the bar 1716 01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,320 Speaker 10: scene out of Star Wars. It's crazy. 1717 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:36,680 Speaker 2: My assessment. So he got to you've got reform, you 1718 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,280 Speaker 2: got Pauline Hanson reform I can see in Britain being real. 1719 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 2: I don't see Hanson being real. When push comes to 1720 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:48,519 Speaker 2: sharkte they're they're they're all too there. They look ridiculous. 1721 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:50,200 Speaker 2: They're probably they do. 1722 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:53,320 Speaker 10: I mean Farage has got I don't know what Farage's 1723 01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 10: I can't stand the fellow. I just think he's he's 1724 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,800 Speaker 10: like a vegetarian shark. But Pauline Hanson has been around 1725 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,040 Speaker 10: a lot to me for thirty years. She's been in 1726 01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:06,200 Speaker 10: federal politics and she does know, she knows the way around. 1727 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:09,559 Speaker 10: But she's never ever had any presence in the lower House. 1728 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,560 Speaker 10: The Senate is, as Paul Keeting famously called it, unrepresentative. 1729 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,920 Speaker 10: Swill you get them there, you get That's what gets 1730 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,640 Speaker 10: up my works as keepings. Unrepresentative swill You get them 1731 01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:22,600 Speaker 10: there because you licked the right number of envelopes and 1732 01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:24,439 Speaker 10: kicked the right amount and kissed the right amount of 1733 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,479 Speaker 10: ass for the right amount of time. Oh, it's your turn, 1734 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,120 Speaker 10: and that's what that's the way it works. 1735 01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,080 Speaker 2: I've got to go, mate, because as usually you and 1736 01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,720 Speaker 2: i've we should have beer actually, because this is I mean, 1737 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:36,120 Speaker 2: this is the same as being at the pub. Isn't 1738 01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:36,640 Speaker 2: it really so. 1739 01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:39,000 Speaker 10: Early for me? 1740 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 2: The four point one unemployment. I mean, I look at 1741 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,360 Speaker 2: all the jobs. It's like, geez, you're doing okay, aren't you. 1742 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,640 Speaker 10: Well? The unemployment figure is good for those who are 1743 01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,160 Speaker 10: looking for work. I forget the exact number. I had 1744 01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 10: it last night of the last night, knowing you'd ask 1745 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 10: about it. But it's not good for those apparently who 1746 01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,080 Speaker 10: much smarter than me. They say, when unemployment is low, 1747 01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,040 Speaker 10: lots of job was being created. The reserve banks of 1748 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 10: a mind to raise interest rates again because they want 1749 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:06,519 Speaker 10: to keep a lead on inflation. And if you've got 1750 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,559 Speaker 10: a bloody great one million dollar mortgage, wow, look out. 1751 01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,519 Speaker 10: I mean the mortgage shoulders that they want relief. They 1752 01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 10: need relief because there's no productivity. Wages aren't going up. 1753 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,360 Speaker 10: But there are plenty of jobs out there, and I 1754 01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:20,599 Speaker 10: guess to that extent there's food on the table. That's 1755 01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 10: a down good scene. 1756 01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,000 Speaker 2: Well it's a joy mate. You have a good WEEKND 1757 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,120 Speaker 2: we'll see next park it very much A forty five 1758 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:26,160 Speaker 2: Murray Olds. 1759 01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:31,599 Speaker 1: The Like Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1760 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,200 Speaker 1: by News Talks at be Mike. 1761 01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:36,720 Speaker 2: This week's political events would never happen to Barnaby Joyce 1762 01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,320 Speaker 2: was the leader of the Nationals. Susan Lee rushed and 1763 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 2: hysterical to call government back to Canberra to stiffen up 1764 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 2: in a monumental way. Her leadership is untenable. Mike Anthony 1765 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 2: Albanezi Australia's best prime minister rever Will You're wrong on that, obviously, 1766 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 2: because one Albanese has only done one term, so that 1767 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 2: doesn't count too. Bob Hawk beats some hands down. Three 1768 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,800 Speaker 2: John Howard four terms, I rest my case, are the 1769 01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 2: first pausible a turmoil for the year. How many people 1770 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:10,559 Speaker 2: do you pay that really are milking the system? My wow, 1771 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 2: I got I got two trucks in a clown car. 1772 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 2: I reckon two trucks and a clown car. How many 1773 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,639 Speaker 2: people do you pay that really are milking the system? 1774 01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,840 Speaker 2: On myke, No, it's just two trucks and it's a 1775 01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:27,960 Speaker 2: two tracker. Not bad to open for the year, though 1776 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:32,160 Speaker 2: we got to Friday. By the way, the four tests 1777 01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,920 Speaker 2: thing that I was talking about before, there are four 1778 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:36,960 Speaker 2: tests for the All Blacks this year. That's all there are. 1779 01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,680 Speaker 2: There's Baltimore. I get why they're going to Baltimore if 1780 01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,879 Speaker 2: you're not up and All Blacks played South Africa and Baltimore. 1781 01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:45,360 Speaker 2: I got the Chicago thing because Chicago's full of Irish people. 1782 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,280 Speaker 2: We played Ireland, so it made sense we're on our 1783 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 2: way north. Baltimore is what what's Baltimore famous for? Nothing? 1784 01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:57,720 Speaker 2: The wire that's true, but apart from that, it's got 1785 01:25:57,960 --> 01:25:58,840 Speaker 2: not a lot of South Amia. 1786 01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,000 Speaker 21: Rememb what would address Elvis's career be if not for Baltimore. 1787 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:03,880 Speaker 2: Well, that is true, but Addriss isn't playing for the 1788 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 2: All Blacks ut South Africa as far as I know. 1789 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 2: And it's a completely separate subject. But thank you for 1790 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 2: your contribution. Nevertheless, how long before it's not four tests 1791 01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:15,000 Speaker 2: in New Zealand, it's three, and then it's two, and 1792 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 2: then it's none. And so the All Blacks play in Australia, 1793 01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 2: they play in South Africa, they do the Northern Tour 1794 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 2: and they spend the rest of their time in America. 1795 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 21: It's a minus boy who cares well. 1796 01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:26,960 Speaker 2: I have some civility for that argument actually to be frank, 1797 01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,840 Speaker 2: but there's change of foot in a way that I 1798 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 2: don't think many people will have anticipated. And is that 1799 01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:40,600 Speaker 2: where rugby is heading? Anyway, let's get that out of 1800 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:42,200 Speaker 2: the way. Nine minutes away from nine. 1801 01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:47,000 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking breakfast with Bailey's real Estate News togs be. 1802 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,559 Speaker 2: I forgot to tell you will it's sold now because 1803 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 2: I'm about to tell you. But the reason I rade 1804 01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,719 Speaker 2: poor Orcadie's tennis elbow has come about because she plays 1805 01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:56,479 Speaker 2: the pickle and we bought the tennis rackets over the 1806 01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:59,320 Speaker 2: holiday period, but we actually haven't used them. We've got 1807 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 2: a cannonball to can of balls twenty five dollars, can 1808 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,519 Speaker 2: of four balls twenty five dollars. Have any four? I 1809 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,120 Speaker 2: want to say you almost certainly four could be three almost. 1810 01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,400 Speaker 2: They're very nice but tech something tick r tech something tick. 1811 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,799 Speaker 2: I'd never heard of the last time I played tennis, 1812 01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 2: Wilson with the balls to go with these days. Anyway, 1813 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,720 Speaker 2: we bought two rackets, but we haven't been able to 1814 01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,479 Speaker 2: get out yet because she's injured. I mean, you marry 1815 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,519 Speaker 2: a younger woman, you expect a something a bit different. 1816 01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:24,800 Speaker 21: I would have thought she would be able to beat 1817 01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:25,360 Speaker 21: you left handed. 1818 01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,759 Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about that. Actually, Glens, you probably can anyway. 1819 01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 2: The point of that, the reason I raised that is 1820 01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,519 Speaker 2: research and Denmark backed up from Britain. If you want 1821 01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,120 Speaker 2: to if you're into longevity, if you want to live 1822 01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 2: and live well, tennis generally racket sports, but mainly tennis. 1823 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,719 Speaker 2: There is something about the combination of back and forth, 1824 01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 2: sudden stop start movement, the hand eye coordination of the ball, 1825 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,680 Speaker 2: the anticipatory nature of what's going to happen next, very 1826 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,799 Speaker 2: good for you mentally, and of course the socialization aspect 1827 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,719 Speaker 2: because you need someone to play with. So tennis, pickleball, 1828 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 2: paddle that of all the things you can do, this 1829 01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:07,400 Speaker 2: study says beats literally anything else when it comes to longevity. 1830 01:28:08,439 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 2: Just don't marry a woman who's a bit crippled. Five 1831 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:12,679 Speaker 2: minutes away from nine. 1832 01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:17,280 Speaker 1: Trending now with Chemist Wells, great savings every day. 1833 01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,920 Speaker 2: Now on the socials, Trump's got more bruising. It's a 1834 01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 2: big bruise. I've just seen the picture. Just do back 1835 01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,920 Speaker 2: this up. Big bruise on right hand last year. Now 1836 01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:32,559 Speaker 2: we've got the left hand. Uh huh. Levett Carolyn, whose 1837 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:36,439 Speaker 2: credibility is shot to pieces. And I'll tell you why 1838 01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 2: in a moment, because she says, now he hit his 1839 01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 2: hand on the side of the podium while signing the agreement. 1840 01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 2: She also claimed yesterday, and this has blown up on 1841 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,600 Speaker 2: the social media's all over the world. She claimed. He 1842 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:50,120 Speaker 2: never said Iceland. 1843 01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,280 Speaker 5: Iceland's already costs us a lot of money. 1844 01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:58,080 Speaker 2: He said Iceland four times. You can't defend the indefensible. 1845 01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:00,760 Speaker 2: But here's where it is interesting. He gave and I 1846 01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:02,800 Speaker 2: can't remember where it was. I think it was Wall 1847 01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:05,760 Speaker 2: Street Journal. Over the holiday period, he gave what was 1848 01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:08,280 Speaker 2: sort of an unusual interview on the sense he started 1849 01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:10,559 Speaker 2: talking about his health, and he revealed that he's been 1850 01:29:10,640 --> 01:29:14,120 Speaker 2: on aspirin and massive doses of it forever, and he 1851 01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:20,240 Speaker 2: diagnoses himself, perhaps not surprisingly, and he said, I want 1852 01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:23,360 Speaker 2: that nice thin blood. He did that thing whereby you 1853 01:29:23,439 --> 01:29:25,240 Speaker 2: don't know how blood and your heart works. He goes 1854 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,639 Speaker 2: you sometimes get the thick blood, and the thick blood 1855 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:29,400 Speaker 2: goes through you. He does all of that, he says, 1856 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,720 Speaker 2: but I like the nice thin blood. So he takes 1857 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 2: lots and lots of aspirin, and he's done so for years, 1858 01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,560 Speaker 2: way more aspiring than any doctor would ever suggest you 1859 01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:39,080 Speaker 2: take anyway. As a result of that, of course, they 1860 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:43,040 Speaker 2: argued the reason he just constantly bleeds, but the risk, 1861 01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 2: of course. 1862 01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 21: But I mean imagine if he had caught his fingers 1863 01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:47,880 Speaker 21: in that bulldog clip, well, precisely, they. 1864 01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:48,960 Speaker 1: Could have done some damage. 1865 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,639 Speaker 2: But you know what, I wouldn't have shown the pain, 1866 01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:54,960 Speaker 2: no pain. He would have bled out. And of course 1867 01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,240 Speaker 2: there is no reason to believe there's not a tremendous 1868 01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,120 Speaker 2: amount of internal bleeding going on at the best of 1869 01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:00,839 Speaker 2: times anyway, because bull zesperin. 1870 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:03,560 Speaker 21: Luckily he's not taking paracetamol. Otherwise we know what it 1871 01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:04,280 Speaker 21: had happen on their. 1872 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:08,640 Speaker 2: Slightly anyway, I think we did really really well for 1873 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:14,000 Speaker 2: our first week. Yep, we all agree here back next 1874 01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,439 Speaker 2: week Tuesdays.
