A great story in the Telegram 100 00:04:48,333 --> 00:04:50,933 Speaker 3: about a bunch of couples in the UK making the 101 00:04:51,053 --> 00:04:53,253 Speaker 3: move to New Zealand's Yes. 102 00:04:53,413 --> 00:04:56,053 Speaker 2: So if people come to New Zealand and you see 103 00:04:56,093 --> 00:04:57,933 Speaker 2: it all the time and talk about how awesome it is, 104 00:04:58,013 --> 00:04:59,853 Speaker 2: are we just a bunch of wines in New Zealand? 105 00:04:59,853 --> 00:05:01,693 Speaker 2: All we hear is how bad it is here and 106 00:05:01,693 --> 00:05:03,973 Speaker 2: how everyone's rushing off to Australia. But is it just 107 00:05:04,013 --> 00:05:06,893 Speaker 2: a comparison? Is the thief of joy? Grasses green or rubbish? 108 00:05:07,133 --> 00:05:09,973 Speaker 2: If migrants to our country we can enjoy our place 109 00:05:09,973 --> 00:05:12,133 Speaker 2: and see the worth in it. Why are we failing 110 00:05:12,173 --> 00:05:15,333 Speaker 2: to at the moment? Why are we, in my opinion, 111 00:05:15,493 --> 00:05:20,173 Speaker 2: becoming a nation of complainers and wedges and everything else. 112 00:05:20,893 --> 00:05:22,173 Speaker 2: Everything is other people's fault. 113 00:05:22,293 --> 00:05:24,333 Speaker 3: Yeap, that is after two o'clock. That's going to be 114 00:05:24,373 --> 00:05:27,333 Speaker 3: a great chat. And right now, let's have a chat 115 00:05:27,333 --> 00:05:30,693 Speaker 3: about corruption. New Zealand is becoming more corrupt. We've dropped 116 00:05:30,693 --> 00:05:33,213 Speaker 3: four places down the list from being the least corrupt 117 00:05:33,413 --> 00:05:36,013 Speaker 3: country in the world to the fourth least. You might 118 00:05:36,053 --> 00:05:38,333 Speaker 3: not think that that's bad, but experts say we are 119 00:05:38,413 --> 00:05:42,533 Speaker 3: increasingly in a vulnerable position to greater threats. Organized crime 120 00:05:42,573 --> 00:05:46,493 Speaker 3: groups have become more sophisticated insiders. We're increasingly being used 121 00:05:46,773 --> 00:05:49,333 Speaker 3: and we are naive to that growing threat. 122 00:05:49,453 --> 00:05:51,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, oh Z one hundred and eighty teen eighty. 123 00:05:51,213 --> 00:05:54,733 Speaker 2: Have you experienced more corruption in New Zealand? Have you 124 00:05:54,773 --> 00:05:57,653 Speaker 2: been approached by someone? Because one way that the corruption 125 00:05:57,853 --> 00:06:04,133 Speaker 2: plays out is people organized crime approaching people in customs 126 00:06:04,573 --> 00:06:08,293 Speaker 2: and at airports, baggage handlers, people working at the poor 127 00:06:09,173 --> 00:06:13,773 Speaker 2: to turn a blind eye to certain certain imports into 128 00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:16,733 Speaker 2: our country. So have you been approached or have you 129 00:06:16,893 --> 00:06:20,093 Speaker 2: seen this corruption? Because if it's raising at the level 130 00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:22,613 Speaker 2: that we think, then there's something to be alarmed about. 131 00:06:23,133 --> 00:06:26,413 Speaker 2: And if you are approached, what should you do? Or 132 00:06:26,453 --> 00:06:28,613 Speaker 2: if you do see corruption, what should you do, should 133 00:06:28,653 --> 00:06:31,013 Speaker 2: you report it? And to who? And sometimes you know, 134 00:06:31,093 --> 00:06:34,093 Speaker 2: people are in a vulnerable position when they are approached. 135 00:06:34,493 --> 00:06:37,693 Speaker 2: You know, perhaps they've got gambling debts, or perhaps this 136 00:06:37,773 --> 00:06:39,973 Speaker 2: is the way they see this their way out of 137 00:06:39,973 --> 00:06:42,733 Speaker 2: a problem. And let's be honest, we pay people pretty poorly. 138 00:06:42,853 --> 00:06:44,413 Speaker 2: A lot of the people that are at this front 139 00:06:44,613 --> 00:06:48,853 Speaker 2: facing people to that are you know, most likely to 140 00:06:48,853 --> 00:06:51,373 Speaker 2: be approached by people that are look at organized crime, 141 00:06:51,413 --> 00:06:52,813 Speaker 2: that are looking to get stuff into our country. 142 00:06:52,853 --> 00:06:54,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, I one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 143 00:06:54,933 --> 00:06:56,733 Speaker 3: to call. There's no doubt there will be someone listening 144 00:06:56,813 --> 00:06:58,613 Speaker 3: right now that has been approached, and we'd love to 145 00:06:58,653 --> 00:07:00,613 Speaker 3: hear from you. We can use a pseudonym, we can 146 00:07:00,613 --> 00:07:02,693 Speaker 3: protect your identity, but we're really keen to have a 147 00:07:02,773 --> 00:07:05,533 Speaker 3: chat with you if you've ever been approached with someone 148 00:07:05,573 --> 00:07:07,373 Speaker 3: offering money to look the other way? 149 00:07:08,493 --> 00:07:10,653 Speaker 2: Texas is Matt. You have the voice of an angel. 150 00:07:10,733 --> 00:07:13,493 Speaker 2: I cried, it was so beautiful.

And I just think, you know, 180 00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:54,892 Speaker 5: we're sort of New Zealand's probably a little bit behind 181 00:08:54,933 --> 00:08:57,132 Speaker 5: the rest of the world in terms of you know, 182 00:08:57,213 --> 00:09:00,893 Speaker 5: these kinds of trends and where we're finally sort of 183 00:09:00,933 --> 00:09:05,213 Speaker 5: catching up and seeing more and more sort of corruption 184 00:09:05,333 --> 00:09:08,213 Speaker 5: in the space. When we look at before, what is. 185 00:09:08,213 --> 00:09:11,573 Speaker 2: The organized crime playbook in terms of recruitment for these 186 00:09:11,573 --> 00:09:14,013 Speaker 2: inside jobs, Who do they target and. 187 00:09:13,933 --> 00:09:18,773 Speaker 5: How well it's a lot of these jobs to say 188 00:09:18,813 --> 00:09:23,013 Speaker 5: you're a Steve Adore at the port, or you're banging 189 00:09:23,093 --> 00:09:27,453 Speaker 5: camera at the airport generally sort of lower paying jobs, 190 00:09:27,533 --> 00:09:32,372 Speaker 5: so you're quite susceptible to somebody offering you ten, twenty 191 00:09:32,453 --> 00:09:36,493 Speaker 5: or thirty thousand dollars to sort of help, you know, 192 00:09:36,852 --> 00:09:39,733 Speaker 5: look the other way, or help get a beg, helping 193 00:09:39,813 --> 00:09:43,173 Speaker 5: a beg on the plane. A lot of these sort 194 00:09:43,213 --> 00:09:46,253 Speaker 5: of it's not like someone wakes up one morning and 195 00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:48,733 Speaker 5: decides to be corrupt and then a lot of the stuff. 196 00:09:49,132 --> 00:09:52,892 Speaker 5: A lot of these sort of relationships actually start off 197 00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:56,612 Speaker 5: of like family ties. So you know, somebody will know 198 00:09:57,213 --> 00:10:00,492 Speaker 5: somebody will know somebody in the airport or in the port, 199 00:10:00,612 --> 00:10:04,852 Speaker 5: and they'll introduce them. It's not like a cold call 200 00:10:05,012 --> 00:10:08,653 Speaker 5: necessarily straight off the street. There'll be some kind of 201 00:10:08,653 --> 00:10:13,133 Speaker 5: existing relationship there moving onto small place, you know, tvgrees 202 00:10:13,173 --> 00:10:18,173 Speaker 5: of separation, and you know if somebody, you know, if 203 00:10:18,213 --> 00:10:20,053 Speaker 5: someone says, hey, look, can you get a bag through 204 00:10:20,492 --> 00:10:23,453 Speaker 5: without telling you what's on it? You know, by the way, 205 00:10:23,492 --> 00:10:26,413 Speaker 5: he's twenty thousand dollars in your troubles. You know, if 206 00:10:26,612 --> 00:10:28,693 Speaker 5: you're any min I'm a wage, that'll be quite a 207 00:10:28,773 --> 00:10:31,533 Speaker 5: quite an attractive proposition, you know. 208 00:10:31,573 --> 00:10:35,053 Speaker 2: Speaking of family ties, famously, drug cartels will threaten family 209 00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:38,933 Speaker 2: members to make them do things. Has it reached that level? 210 00:10:39,053 --> 00:10:41,732 Speaker 2: Now do this or your mum dies. 211 00:10:43,773 --> 00:10:48,573 Speaker 6: I haven't heard anything quite like that yet, but I 212 00:10:48,573 --> 00:10:51,693 Speaker 6: mean there's always that fear, you know, that the coersion 213 00:10:51,852 --> 00:10:56,573 Speaker 6: of particularly maybe maybe you do start, you know, helping 214 00:10:56,573 --> 00:10:58,852 Speaker 6: out and bringing a few bags through or whatever, and 215 00:10:58,892 --> 00:11:01,372 Speaker 6: then you just try to stop. Yeah, I think I 216 00:11:01,413 --> 00:11:03,373 Speaker 6: think it would be very hard to stop because they're 217 00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:05,973 Speaker 6: going to say, well, hey, you know, we'll we'll dob 218 00:11:06,012 --> 00:11:08,253 Speaker 6: you in or you know, maybe you should think about 219 00:11:08,453 --> 00:11:10,333 Speaker 6: what might happen to no more dad or your sister 220 00:11:10,573 --> 00:11:14,773 Speaker 6: or whatever. So that that's the fear and the intimidation 221 00:11:14,973 --> 00:11:18,492 Speaker 6: from you. Organized climate gangs is real, and I think 222 00:11:19,213 --> 00:11:22,333 Speaker 6: once they've got their hooks into you, very hard to 223 00:11:22,852 --> 00:11:24,012 Speaker 6: walk away USC. 224 00:11:24,533 --> 00:11:28,252 Speaker 2: And then new article you suggest that essential anti corruption 225 00:11:28,333 --> 00:11:31,213 Speaker 2: body might be better for fighting this organized crime. 226 00:11:32,933 --> 00:11:35,492 Speaker 6: Yeah, so this was the idea of the advisory group. 227 00:11:36,093 --> 00:11:40,132 Speaker 6: They kind of their whole kind of point was, we 228 00:11:40,173 --> 00:11:44,613 Speaker 6: don't have any sort of national strategy for combating corruption 229 00:11:44,813 --> 00:11:48,773 Speaker 6: in this space. We don't have any data. We need 230 00:11:48,852 --> 00:11:51,053 Speaker 6: to have a strategy to sort of set by the 231 00:11:51,053 --> 00:11:54,852 Speaker 6: government across all government agencies, to set the standards around 232 00:11:55,973 --> 00:11:59,372 Speaker 6: you know, a bit of vetting of employees and high 233 00:11:59,453 --> 00:12:03,733 Speaker 6: risk industries, not just public sector but private sector as well. 234 00:12:04,413 --> 00:12:07,852 Speaker 6: There needs to be like an almost mandatory reporting of 235 00:12:08,653 --> 00:12:12,573 Speaker 6: anything that might be suspicious because often these sort of cases, 236 00:12:12,933 --> 00:12:15,173 Speaker 6: if anything dodgy does come up at the ports or 237 00:12:15,173 --> 00:12:18,693 Speaker 6: the airports, it can be treated as an employment matter 238 00:12:18,773 --> 00:12:22,492 Speaker 6: as opposed to and it's referred to to the police 239 00:12:22,693 --> 00:12:25,413 Speaker 6: or things like that. So that they just want to 240 00:12:25,732 --> 00:12:29,013 Speaker 6: I guess the idea of having a secral body is 241 00:12:29,012 --> 00:12:32,412 Speaker 6: that you know, one one agency can sort of receive 242 00:12:32,453 --> 00:12:34,293 Speaker 6: all those reports, sort of build a bit of an 243 00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:35,653 Speaker 6: intelligence picture. 244 00:12:35,653 --> 00:12:39,093 Speaker 5: And then refer those cases to be for further investigation. 245 00:12:39,453 --> 00:12:41,772 Speaker 5: And it's probably not a bad idea. 246 00:12:41,852 --> 00:12:43,733 Speaker 3: We were an easy target, aren't we? Jared at the 247 00:12:43,773 --> 00:12:45,172 Speaker 3: end of the day. I mean, as it seas in 248 00:12:45,213 --> 00:12:47,533 Speaker 3: the report, we're naive, but it appears to be we 249 00:12:47,653 --> 00:12:49,733 Speaker 3: have been an easy target for some of these organized 250 00:12:49,732 --> 00:12:52,373 Speaker 3: criminal groups who are very sophisticated, and we need to 251 00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:53,532 Speaker 3: wise up effectively. 252 00:12:54,973 --> 00:12:57,453 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's one of those things we're getting zelands and keywis. 253 00:12:57,492 --> 00:12:59,652 Speaker 5: We like to think of ourselves as you know, corruption 254 00:12:59,773 --> 00:13:04,293 Speaker 5: free or largely corruption free, and that you know that 255 00:13:04,413 --> 00:13:08,813 Speaker 5: has been backed up by the sort of international Transparency Index. 256 00:13:09,012 --> 00:13:11,933 Speaker 5: But were used to be number one and now we're slipping. 257 00:13:12,053 --> 00:13:15,013 Speaker 5: I mean, just as a I mean, I've been reporting 258 00:13:15,012 --> 00:13:18,453 Speaker 5: about organized clients a sort of fifteen years now, and 259 00:13:18,492 --> 00:13:20,852 Speaker 5: it's you know, in the early days of that reporting, 260 00:13:20,892 --> 00:13:23,893 Speaker 5: we didn't really see so much of this sort of. 261 00:13:25,413 --> 00:13:28,253 Speaker 6: Corruption in the ports the inside man. It was often 262 00:13:28,333 --> 00:13:30,893 Speaker 6: that the drugs would be well concealed, to be well hidden, 263 00:13:30,933 --> 00:13:33,492 Speaker 6: and you know, that was the focus of these groups 264 00:13:33,492 --> 00:13:34,412 Speaker 6: trying to get them in. 265 00:13:34,973 --> 00:13:36,213 Speaker 5: I remember the first time. 266 00:13:36,012 --> 00:13:40,893 Speaker 6: We wrote a story about the bag of handlers being corrupted. 267 00:13:41,213 --> 00:13:43,372 Speaker 6: It was five years ago, and that was sort of 268 00:13:43,372 --> 00:13:45,373 Speaker 6: a bit of a big deal, front page story. And 269 00:13:45,453 --> 00:13:48,093 Speaker 6: then now it's like, you know, every other case is 270 00:13:48,132 --> 00:13:52,252 Speaker 6: basically there's an inside man somewhere. So we're definitely a 271 00:13:52,293 --> 00:13:55,693 Speaker 6: little bit noise about it. We're definitely a little bit 272 00:13:55,732 --> 00:13:59,173 Speaker 6: behind the ball in terms of hardening up our systems 273 00:13:59,213 --> 00:14:01,693 Speaker 6: to sort of make it harder for organized crime to 274 00:14:01,732 --> 00:14:04,732 Speaker 6: do this. So the report to my mind as a 275 00:14:04,773 --> 00:14:07,213 Speaker 6: positive step forward to putting a bit of pressure in 276 00:14:07,293 --> 00:14:07,732 Speaker 6: the government. 277 00:14:08,413 --> 00:14:11,173 Speaker 2: What should key we's be looking out for and who 278 00:14:11,213 --> 00:14:14,132 Speaker 2: would they report approaches or dodgy stuff too? 279 00:14:14,413 --> 00:14:18,853 Speaker 6: Jared Well, I guess, I mean, you're not going to 280 00:14:18,852 --> 00:14:21,573 Speaker 6: be necessarily walking down the street and sort of picking 281 00:14:21,613 --> 00:14:23,213 Speaker 6: up on something, But I mean if you're working in 282 00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:25,733 Speaker 6: the ports or the airports, I mean, I guess the 283 00:14:25,733 --> 00:14:27,413 Speaker 6: first port of call would be to report it to 284 00:14:27,453 --> 00:14:30,253 Speaker 6: your employer. But if there's no action taken, I'd be 285 00:14:30,293 --> 00:14:33,613 Speaker 6: calling the police about this. They need all the help 286 00:14:33,653 --> 00:14:36,653 Speaker 6: they can get. Police investigations are only as good as 287 00:14:36,653 --> 00:14:41,653 Speaker 6: the information they sort of receive. If you're if you're 288 00:14:41,733 --> 00:14:44,093 Speaker 6: a neighbor of a baggage handler or Steve Adore and 289 00:14:44,493 --> 00:14:46,693 Speaker 6: they seem to be flashing around too much cash and 290 00:14:46,933 --> 00:14:51,053 Speaker 6: probably probably make an anonymous phone call to the crime 291 00:14:51,053 --> 00:14:54,133 Speaker 6: stoppers or something like that. But this is a problem. 292 00:14:54,133 --> 00:14:56,133 Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, who do you call? Because if you're 293 00:14:56,173 --> 00:14:59,933 Speaker 6: in the local police station, they might not necessarily grasp 294 00:15:00,133 --> 00:15:02,973 Speaker 6: the you know, they're they're they're busy, they're busy dealing 295 00:15:02,973 --> 00:15:03,893 Speaker 6: with some shoplisters. 296 00:15:03,973 --> 00:15:07,333 Speaker 5: Right, So having having having a sensible. 297 00:15:07,013 --> 00:15:11,213 Speaker 6: Body to say, right, we suspect some sort of you know, 298 00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:14,973 Speaker 6: these people have been acting as an inside man, as 299 00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:18,693 Speaker 6: a corrupt good worker, would make sense to me, Oh. 300 00:15:18,613 --> 00:15:19,853 Speaker 2: Eight hundred gangs. 301 00:15:20,413 --> 00:15:23,573 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's a good good number to you. 302 00:15:23,573 --> 00:15:28,813 Speaker 2: Give me a call, yes, yeah, well just before you go.

We are becoming more 345 00:17:17,053 --> 00:17:18,973 Speaker 3: corrupt as a country. It's on the back of a 346 00:17:19,013 --> 00:17:22,973 Speaker 3: ministerial advisory report, so we want to hear from you 347 00:17:23,053 --> 00:17:25,453 Speaker 3: if you have been approach that you've seen corruption. Oh 348 00:17:25,453 --> 00:17:28,773 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Here's a little bit of what he 351 00:17:34,733 --> 00:17:36,013 Speaker 3: said to Mike Coskin this morning. 352 00:17:36,413 --> 00:17:40,373 Speaker 10: We are a country that's become incorrupt. We were proudly 353 00:17:40,693 --> 00:17:43,253 Speaker 10: the number one country in the world in terms of 354 00:17:43,373 --> 00:17:45,933 Speaker 10: the least amount of corruption, we've dropped down to number 355 00:17:45,933 --> 00:17:49,213 Speaker 10: four and we're unfortunately trending in the wrong direction. But 356 00:17:49,333 --> 00:17:51,532 Speaker 10: more than that, I think what we're seeing is we 357 00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:53,613 Speaker 10: used to be a country where I think we genuinely 358 00:17:53,613 --> 00:17:56,213 Speaker 10: could trust one another to keep up the values of 359 00:17:56,253 --> 00:17:58,813 Speaker 10: our country, and sadly, I think it's being eroded. 360 00:17:59,653 --> 00:18:01,812 Speaker 3: So I mean pretty sad comments right at the end 361 00:18:01,853 --> 00:18:03,893 Speaker 3: there that we used to be a country where we 362 00:18:03,973 --> 00:18:07,253 Speaker 3: could trust that the values were there and we could 363 00:18:07,413 --> 00:18:09,333 Speaker 3: trust one another, but that was being eroded. 364 00:18:09,653 --> 00:18:13,053 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean some of the Pacific nations are 365 00:18:13,413 --> 00:18:18,173 Speaker 2: close to becoming narco states basically, and that leads on 366 00:18:18,173 --> 00:18:21,613 Speaker 2: to us, and primarily because you can sell a class 367 00:18:21,653 --> 00:18:25,453 Speaker 2: drugs in New Zealand for a huge amount of money. Comparatively, 368 00:18:25,973 --> 00:18:28,053 Speaker 2: the amount people are willing to pay makes Australia and 369 00:18:28,053 --> 00:18:32,573 Speaker 2: New Zealand very very attractive markets for people that are 370 00:18:32,693 --> 00:18:38,293 Speaker 2: wanting to get illstit substances across our borders. Kiwis don't 371 00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:42,693 Speaker 2: Snitch said this text there you go.

The airports are super dodgy, 377 00:18:58,893 --> 00:19:01,293 Speaker 2: says this text. I don't want to talk, but I 378 00:19:01,413 --> 00:19:04,052 Speaker 2: have seen some stuff that would surprise you. At the ports. 379 00:19:04,213 --> 00:19:07,813 Speaker 2: It's more prevalent than you think. It's routine, mate, routine. 380 00:19:07,373 --> 00:19:10,053 Speaker 3: That is frightening.

Fair enough, I played the game, 384 00:19:18,573 --> 00:19:21,613 Speaker 3: but then the cheeky bug is put gst on the 385 00:19:21,613 --> 00:19:25,253 Speaker 3: excise duty. That's double dip. I wouldn't be able to 386 00:19:25,413 --> 00:19:27,453 Speaker 3: get away with it if I were a business.

And a lot of people have said that 472 00:23:59,413 --> 00:24:01,453 Speaker 2: you shouldn't say anything. As we said at the text 473 00:24:01,533 --> 00:24:04,853 Speaker 2: four keys don't snitch?

The sticks says, I don't 479 00:24:17,053 --> 00:24:19,093 Speaker 2: take drugs, so why do I care if other idiots do. 480 00:24:19,173 --> 00:24:20,893 Speaker 2: Let them bring it in.

Is that because people 496 00:24:58,613 --> 00:25:03,453 Speaker 2: in New Zealand generally believe that you shouldn't snitch on someone, 497 00:25:04,213 --> 00:25:06,933 Speaker 2: that you shouldn't be a n arc and that you 498 00:25:06,933 --> 00:25:09,013 Speaker 2: should turn a blind eye to Uh. 499 00:25:09,293 --> 00:25:12,693 Speaker 3: Corruption depends on the level. But I think it is 500 00:25:13,133 --> 00:25:15,133 Speaker 3: a little bit of New Zealand culture that you don't 501 00:25:15,253 --> 00:25:22,733 Speaker 3: dob on people for what could be seen as minor infractions. Yeah, 502 00:25:22,773 --> 00:25:25,373 Speaker 3: you know, you wouldn't dob on your neighbor for I 503 00:25:25,453 --> 00:25:27,773 Speaker 3: don't know, maybe chopping down a tree for example, that 504 00:25:27,813 --> 00:25:30,493 Speaker 3: he shouldn't chop down. Most people, I think in New 505 00:25:30,573 --> 00:25:33,053 Speaker 3: Zealand would look at that and say, would idb on 506 00:25:33,133 --> 00:25:35,893 Speaker 3: that person? Or there'll be a lot of people that 507 00:25:35,933 --> 00:25:38,373 Speaker 3: think we're the opposite, you know. The Karen comes to 508 00:25:38,413 --> 00:25:41,453 Speaker 3: mind that we're a bunch of busy bodies. But I 509 00:25:41,493 --> 00:25:43,853 Speaker 3: actually think it's more ingrained that we don't dob on people. 510 00:25:43,853 --> 00:25:47,893 Speaker 3: We don't knak, we don't you know, snitches get stitches scenario. 511 00:25:48,053 --> 00:25:50,333 Speaker 2: But what about in Lockdown where the whole nation turned 512 00:25:50,333 --> 00:25:53,733 Speaker 2: into a bunch of narks, Yeah and dobbing in their neighbors. 513 00:25:54,133 --> 00:25:55,973 Speaker 2: That was a weird turn of events, wasn't it it. 514 00:25:56,613 --> 00:25:58,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it was like you putting your you know, 515 00:25:58,533 --> 00:26:01,373 Speaker 3: some of your rubbish and your neighbor's bins that I 516 00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:03,733 Speaker 3: would I would suspect that even if a neighbor saw you, 517 00:26:03,813 --> 00:26:08,253 Speaker 3: if they dobbed you in it's bad New Zealander.

Now I 832 00:41:46,693 --> 00:41:48,652 Speaker 3: say love in New Zealand because there's a great story. 833 00:41:48,653 --> 00:41:51,053 Speaker 3: It's in the Herald today but it is written by 834 00:41:51,133 --> 00:41:53,893 Speaker 3: the Telegraph in the UK and it talks to a 835 00:41:53,933 --> 00:41:56,293 Speaker 3: bunch of couples in the UK who made the move 836 00:41:56,453 --> 00:41:59,213 Speaker 3: here to New Zealand. So the costs involved, what it 837 00:41:59,253 --> 00:42:01,813 Speaker 3: takes to get a visa, what sort of skills that 838 00:42:01,853 --> 00:42:06,053 Speaker 3: we require, all that sort of information, but the big 839 00:42:06,093 --> 00:42:10,373 Speaker 3: takeaway from the story is how much these UK couples 840 00:42:10,413 --> 00:42:14,573 Speaker 3: and citizens absolutely adore New Zealand. And the quote here 841 00:42:14,613 --> 00:42:17,733 Speaker 3: that I absolutely love from one of the couples, Robert 842 00:42:17,773 --> 00:42:22,133 Speaker 3: and Sabrina, they said, I quote, we could have earned 843 00:42:22,133 --> 00:42:24,813 Speaker 3: more if we moved to Australia, but we weren't happy there. 844 00:42:24,853 --> 00:42:27,613 Speaker 3: The weather was good, but it wasn't as welcoming as 845 00:42:27,653 --> 00:42:28,413 Speaker 3: New Zealand. 846 00:42:28,813 --> 00:42:31,893 Speaker 2: Yes, so you know they thought news. This is how 847 00:42:31,893 --> 00:42:35,093 Speaker 2: they rated New Zealand. Improved work life balance and family time, 848 00:42:35,413 --> 00:42:39,453 Speaker 2: Safer environment for raising children, friendly and inclusive local communities, 849 00:42:39,813 --> 00:42:43,533 Speaker 2: access to nature and outdoor activities, less daily stress compared 850 00:42:43,573 --> 00:42:46,733 Speaker 2: to the life in the UK. And yet what do 851 00:42:46,773 --> 00:42:48,373 Speaker 2: we hear in New Zealand. All we ever here is 852 00:42:48,413 --> 00:42:51,013 Speaker 2: in New Zealand is so bad. It's so terrible listening 853 00:42:51,453 --> 00:42:54,453 Speaker 2: a living here was so under the boot that we 854 00:42:54,533 --> 00:42:57,652 Speaker 2: can hardly succeed and it's all we can do to 855 00:42:57,813 --> 00:43:00,413 Speaker 2: upsticks and move to Australia because it's so horrible here. 856 00:43:00,613 --> 00:43:04,373 Speaker 2: And yet here's an article in the Telegraph in the 857 00:43:04,493 --> 00:43:06,973 Speaker 2: UK saying how great it is in New Zealand and 858 00:43:07,013 --> 00:43:10,493 Speaker 2: how people that live move New Zealand absolutely love it. 859 00:43:10,613 --> 00:43:13,533 Speaker 2: So how can those two things be true? That if 860 00:43:13,813 --> 00:43:16,493 Speaker 2: migrants to our country can love our country and see 861 00:43:16,533 --> 00:43:17,813 Speaker 2: how good it is, why can't we. 862 00:43:17,933 --> 00:43:19,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty have 863 00:43:19,973 --> 00:43:20,253 Speaker 3: we become? 864 00:43:20,293 --> 00:43:21,853 Speaker 2: Because I don't think New Zealand has used to be 865 00:43:21,893 --> 00:43:25,333 Speaker 2: Winges I think we used to have this attitude where 866 00:43:26,093 --> 00:43:29,133 Speaker 2: we don't know how lucky we are, what a fantastic 867 00:43:29,173 --> 00:43:31,933 Speaker 2: place it is to be here.

For example, the 971 00:48:16,493 --> 00:48:18,773 Speaker 22: old dairy factories used to be there as well. They 972 00:48:18,853 --> 00:48:20,453 Speaker 22: used to all go there and sell all their dairy 973 00:48:20,693 --> 00:48:22,853 Speaker 22: and I'm sure they use it as a as a 974 00:48:22,893 --> 00:48:25,493 Speaker 22: place to congregate as well and have a genuine chat 975 00:48:25,493 --> 00:48:29,093 Speaker 22: about the situations and share problems, because you know, especially 976 00:48:29,093 --> 00:48:31,493 Speaker 22: in the farming and rural community, guys, are you taking 977 00:48:31,493 --> 00:48:33,373 Speaker 22: it pretty hard there? And I just think they just 978 00:48:33,373 --> 00:48:35,573 Speaker 22: don't probably have that same net and community that they 979 00:48:35,653 --> 00:48:38,093 Speaker 22: used to have. And I just think if we can 980 00:48:38,133 --> 00:48:40,533 Speaker 22: get back to that sort of mindset, our country is 981 00:48:40,573 --> 00:48:44,893 Speaker 22: one and that can definitely help these people come into 982 00:48:44,933 --> 00:48:47,813 Speaker 22: our country and enjoy what we have to enjoy it. Yeah, 983 00:48:48,253 --> 00:48:52,933 Speaker 22: I really feel that if they just stay away from 984 00:48:52,933 --> 00:48:57,293 Speaker 22: the negative nancies, if you like, sorry Nancy and just 985 00:48:58,133 --> 00:49:02,213 Speaker 22: say and just stay just you are a product of 986 00:49:02,213 --> 00:49:05,013 Speaker 22: your environment. Yeah you're having a good time. Everyone else 987 00:49:05,053 --> 00:49:05,893 Speaker 22: around you will too. 988 00:49:06,013 --> 00:49:07,413 Speaker 2: And I think that's a good point, Scott, because you've 989 00:49:07,413 --> 00:49:10,613 Speaker 2: got to ask yourself the motivations of people and that 990 00:49:10,613 --> 00:49:14,692 Speaker 2: that are winging, because often winging comes with you know, 991 00:49:14,813 --> 00:49:19,453 Speaker 2: social media cachet and likes or you know, as a 992 00:49:19,493 --> 00:49:22,013 Speaker 2: news source, you might find that you get more engagement 993 00:49:22,053 --> 00:49:25,333 Speaker 2: the more negative you are. I mean, a story that 994 00:49:25,453 --> 00:49:28,253 Speaker 2: says New Zealand's pretty good, it's not going to get 995 00:49:28,253 --> 00:49:31,733 Speaker 2: as many ticks and not as many cliques as a 996 00:49:31,733 --> 00:49:35,293 Speaker 2: story that says New Zealand sucks to put it really 997 00:49:35,333 --> 00:49:38,413 Speaker 2: black basically. So I think you're right, Scott. I think 998 00:49:38,453 --> 00:49:41,373 Speaker 2: it's a good idea to just question why people are 999 00:49:41,373 --> 00:49:43,693 Speaker 2: saying this, yeah. 1000 00:49:43,493 --> 00:49:48,213 Speaker 22: And look at themselves in their their situation, find ways 1001 00:49:48,253 --> 00:49:51,813 Speaker 22: to improve your situation instead of, like I sort of 1002 00:49:51,813 --> 00:49:54,613 Speaker 22: said before, instead of asking what they can do, what 1003 00:49:54,653 --> 00:49:55,453 Speaker 22: are you doing? 1004 00:49:55,693 --> 00:49:58,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good talk to I wonder if because you know, 1005 00:49:58,413 --> 00:50:02,613 Speaker 2: that was in JFK's nineteen sixty one in augural address 1006 00:50:02,653 --> 00:50:05,053 Speaker 2: when he said, ask not what your country can do 1007 00:50:05,173 --> 00:50:07,773 Speaker 2: for you, ask what you can do for your country. 1008 00:50:08,373 --> 00:50:10,653 Speaker 2: Didn't nail the thing, But can you mention a politician 1009 00:50:10,693 --> 00:50:14,253 Speaker 2: saying that now and people going yeah, yeah, that's not 1010 00:50:14,253 --> 00:50:17,293 Speaker 2: the way people look at things anymore. If if someone 1011 00:50:17,373 --> 00:50:20,692 Speaker 2: ran on that platform, people would be like, why would 1012 00:50:20,693 --> 00:50:21,853 Speaker 2: I do anything for my country? 1013 00:50:21,973 --> 00:50:24,613 Speaker 3: They'd get angry. They've seen it, you know. I mean, 1014 00:50:25,373 --> 00:50:27,692 Speaker 3: arguably we don't have a JFK in New Zealand right 1015 00:50:27,693 --> 00:50:30,133 Speaker 3: now in a political spheres, but I've heard that that 1016 00:50:30,333 --> 00:50:32,813 Speaker 3: it's time to take personal responsibility and we want to 1017 00:50:32,813 --> 00:50:36,172 Speaker 3: see you succeed and do better, and you can help 1018 00:50:36,253 --> 00:50:38,853 Speaker 3: that by pulling you know, I'm paraphrasing here, pulling the 1019 00:50:38,853 --> 00:50:41,692 Speaker 3: bootstrats up and doing something for yourself, let us help you, 1020 00:50:42,093 --> 00:50:43,093 Speaker 3: and then people get angry. 1021 00:50:43,373 --> 00:50:43,573 Speaker 23: Yeah. 1022 00:50:43,573 --> 00:50:45,413 Speaker 2: Well it's like what can you do for your family 1023 00:50:45,733 --> 00:50:49,453 Speaker 2: and then your community, and then your wider community and 1024 00:50:49,493 --> 00:50:53,413 Speaker 2: then your country.

So I 1337 01:05:29,413 --> 01:05:31,493 Speaker 19: that doesn't taint my view. But what it does is 1338 01:05:33,093 --> 01:05:36,533 Speaker 19: I get to travel back over most parts of my 1339 01:05:36,613 --> 01:05:40,853 Speaker 19: life through the eighties and nineties two thousand's to those 1340 01:05:40,853 --> 01:05:43,613 Speaker 19: countries and got to visit them and compare.

I heard 1346 01:05:58,653 --> 01:06:04,213 Speaker 19: someone talking about Potos earlier. Itly their road. The infrastructure 1347 01:06:04,253 --> 01:06:08,613 Speaker 19: is fantastic, the trains and the walls, Carda which goes 1348 01:06:08,653 --> 01:06:11,453 Speaker 19: through you know, the goes over valleys and through mountains, 1349 01:06:11,693 --> 01:06:15,173 Speaker 19: but it's pretty rough. The road's pretty rough. But the 1350 01:06:15,213 --> 01:06:17,693 Speaker 19: biggest point was my in law said that that move 1351 01:06:17,773 --> 01:06:22,053 Speaker 19: here in a heartbeat. There's there's many things in Europe, 1352 01:06:22,053 --> 01:06:25,613 Speaker 19: but it's great on the postcards, it's great on great 1353 01:06:25,653 --> 01:06:27,293 Speaker 19: on the pictures, but you just don't get that sense 1354 01:06:27,333 --> 01:06:31,413 Speaker 19: of freedom and and just easiness of living, and easiness 1355 01:06:31,493 --> 01:06:33,893 Speaker 19: of talking to the person beside it, and just a 1356 01:06:33,973 --> 01:06:37,333 Speaker 19: real as that British caple said, just a real easiness. 1357 01:06:37,333 --> 01:06:39,853 Speaker 19: It just doesn't exist out in most other places. 1358 01:06:40,093 --> 01:06:43,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, nicely, said Ryan.

Very good afternoon, 1706 01:23:19,213 --> 01:23:22,692 Speaker 3: shee thirteen past three, and we're talking about how awesome 1707 01:23:22,772 --> 01:23:26,892 Speaker 3: New Zealanders. And we've had a lot of people hundreds 1708 01:23:26,973 --> 01:23:29,093 Speaker 3: texts through who have migrated here saying we don't know 1709 01:23:29,093 --> 01:23:29,812 Speaker 3: how lucky we are. 1710 01:23:29,933 --> 01:23:31,253 Speaker 2: Have you heard of Godwin's law? 1711 01:23:32,053 --> 01:23:35,173 Speaker 3: Or is that? Actually? Just tell me what it is? 1712 01:23:35,333 --> 01:23:37,933 Speaker 2: I don't know right, Actually I'm paraphrasing here, but I 1713 01:23:37,973 --> 01:23:41,333 Speaker 2: think it's basically that if you bring up Hitler in 1714 01:23:41,372 --> 01:23:44,492 Speaker 2: a conversation, you basically lose. That's right, yeah, And also 1715 01:23:44,532 --> 01:23:47,333 Speaker 2: that all conversations tend towards Hitler the longer they go 1716 01:23:47,452 --> 01:23:50,612 Speaker 2: for yes arguments. So basically, if you invoke Hitler in 1717 01:23:50,652 --> 01:23:54,412 Speaker 2: the conversation, then it's considered a lazy argument and you lose, right. 1718 01:23:54,812 --> 01:23:56,772 Speaker 2: I think I want to start a law called Heath's Law, 1719 01:23:57,093 --> 01:24:00,053 Speaker 2: and it's when you inject Trump into a conversation when 1720 01:24:00,053 --> 01:24:02,052 Speaker 2: it's got absolutely nothing to do with Trump. 1721 01:24:02,093 --> 01:24:02,852 Speaker 3: I see where you're going. 1722 01:24:02,933 --> 01:24:07,372 Speaker 2: Yeople are so sucked in and compressed by the black 1723 01:24:07,412 --> 01:24:12,052 Speaker 2: hole that is the non stop lazy media coverage of Trump. 1724 01:24:12,532 --> 01:24:15,532 Speaker 2: That and the and the sugar rush they get of 1725 01:24:15,572 --> 01:24:18,532 Speaker 2: mentioning Trump, that they'll bring it into anything like this 1726 01:24:18,612 --> 01:24:21,253 Speaker 2: takes to here. So what's your point? Trump supporters love 1727 01:24:21,293 --> 01:24:23,572 Speaker 2: living in the States, their best country in the world. 1728 01:24:23,612 --> 01:24:27,133 Speaker 2: People live all over the world.

Welcome to the show, Damien. 1737 01:24:47,133 --> 01:24:52,932 Speaker 33: You're from Malaysia originally, yes, hi, Hi? 1738 01:24:53,372 --> 01:24:54,492 Speaker 2: Yeah? How long have you been here? 1739 01:24:54,652 --> 01:24:59,412 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah yeah, just under tree here. And I've actually 1740 01:24:59,412 --> 01:25:03,013 Speaker 5: got two things to say. Yeah. So, first thing is 1741 01:25:03,372 --> 01:25:05,452 Speaker 5: no countries that were perfect. Number One, I was a 1742 01:25:05,492 --> 01:25:08,932 Speaker 5: flight defendant. So I've traveled quite a bit. Yeah uh 1743 01:25:09,133 --> 01:25:12,333 Speaker 5: and yeah, well I haven't been in Europe or America, 1744 01:25:13,452 --> 01:25:18,892 Speaker 5: but yeah uh and Malaysia being in number two. Yeah, 1745 01:25:19,053 --> 01:25:24,173 Speaker 5: so yeah, it's the values, it's your subjective take on 1746 01:25:24,572 --> 01:25:27,852 Speaker 5: a country. For example, you know, if food is you know, 1747 01:25:27,933 --> 01:25:30,652 Speaker 5: street food is cheap there I can get in Malaysia, 1748 01:25:30,652 --> 01:25:32,652 Speaker 5: I could get food for that two dollars street dollars 1749 01:25:32,652 --> 01:25:33,412 Speaker 5: twenty four to seven. 1750 01:25:33,652 --> 01:25:33,852 Speaker 2: Yep. 1751 01:25:34,013 --> 01:25:36,572 Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, but you know there's a chance of 1752 01:25:37,293 --> 01:25:41,293 Speaker 5: well it's not very clean. So yeah, that's that's so 1753 01:25:41,532 --> 01:25:44,213 Speaker 5: my my take is would someone be willing to do 1754 01:25:45,133 --> 01:25:47,652 Speaker 5: to do to pay to play a koremium? Yeah, you 1755 01:25:47,652 --> 01:25:48,852 Speaker 5: know it's twenty dollars meal here? 1756 01:25:48,973 --> 01:25:51,132 Speaker 3: And what did you what did you pick New Zealand 1757 01:25:51,133 --> 01:25:51,452 Speaker 3: to come to? 1758 01:25:51,572 --> 01:25:59,412 Speaker 5: Damian lovely country, walks, creaming green, people of people are friendly. 1759 01:25:59,532 --> 01:26:03,133 Speaker 5: And obviously it's not not every not not one hundred 1760 01:26:03,173 --> 01:26:05,692 Speaker 5: percent true, but not always a hundred percent true, but 1761 01:26:05,732 --> 01:26:08,772 Speaker 5: it's it's well, it's it's still psatively true. And the 1762 01:26:08,812 --> 01:26:11,053 Speaker 5: second thing I would like to if you don't mind 1763 01:26:11,053 --> 01:26:14,213 Speaker 5: me talking, this second thing I would like to bring 1764 01:26:14,293 --> 01:26:18,972 Speaker 5: up with Rob just now got Singapore.

Everyone's very goot Singapore being the man Asian. 1767 01:26:24,133 --> 01:26:26,852 Speaker 5: I think many of us work in Singapore. By the way, 1768 01:26:27,013 --> 01:26:31,732 Speaker 5: four hundred thousand people cross the causeway from Malaysia Singapore 1769 01:26:31,772 --> 01:26:34,812 Speaker 5: every morning and back.

Now. The thing is, 1775 01:26:53,213 --> 01:26:56,492 Speaker 5: the thing is being a tourist in their country versus 1776 01:26:56,532 --> 01:26:59,852 Speaker 5: actually living there are two very very different things.

Yeah, 1784 01:27:24,732 --> 01:27:26,612 Speaker 5: they said, it's a much better pace to bring up 1785 01:27:26,612 --> 01:27:28,412 Speaker 5: because you know, they go to the bush, they go 1786 01:27:28,492 --> 01:27:34,093 Speaker 5: to London and every yeah, almost every every weekend.

It's so interesting Sully because he's been 2315 01:52:29,812 --> 01:52:33,492 Speaker 2: played by Tom Hanks. You kind of when you think 2316 01:52:33,532 --> 01:52:36,532 Speaker 2: of Sully now and then the Sully movie, when you 2317 01:52:36,572 --> 01:52:39,012 Speaker 2: think of the face of Sully, you think of Tom Henck. 2318 01:52:39,053 --> 01:52:40,132 Speaker 15: Think of Tom Henks. 2319 01:52:41,093 --> 01:52:43,013 Speaker 2: So who was it that met Sully? Was it your son? 2320 01:52:43,053 --> 01:52:43,532 Speaker 2: Did you say? 2321 01:52:44,492 --> 01:52:45,213 Speaker 15: No, my husband? 2322 01:52:45,333 --> 01:52:48,092 Speaker 2: Your husband? So he recognized but he recognized the real Sully. 2323 01:52:49,532 --> 01:52:53,812 Speaker 15: No, he didn't actually recognize that. A lady that Sally's 2324 01:52:53,853 --> 01:52:57,612 Speaker 15: wife recognized the pilot because my husband's a pilot. And 2325 01:52:57,652 --> 01:52:59,692 Speaker 15: they went up to the pilots because they were taking 2326 01:52:59,692 --> 01:53:01,692 Speaker 15: the there was four of them, and they him and 2327 01:53:01,732 --> 01:53:03,652 Speaker 15: his wife were talking and saying, oh, they must be 2328 01:53:03,652 --> 01:53:06,692 Speaker 15: going Long Hall because there's four pilots. Wonder where they're going. 2329 01:53:06,973 --> 01:53:10,052 Speaker 15: And so they approached my husband, where are you guys 2330 01:53:10,053 --> 01:53:12,932 Speaker 15: heading off to? And then the conversation started from there 2331 01:53:13,253 --> 01:53:19,652 Speaker 15: and my husband was like, sorry, you are Sully? I 2332 01:53:19,692 --> 01:53:22,933 Speaker 15: am he They had a conversation. 2333 01:53:23,492 --> 01:53:25,133 Speaker 2: How good it's good good to hear that he was 2334 01:53:25,133 --> 01:53:26,692 Speaker 2: a good guy, Sually, I'll be terrible to hear that 2335 01:53:26,732 --> 01:53:30,333 Speaker 2: he was any. The miracle on the on the Hudson 2336 01:53:31,412 --> 01:53:34,812 Speaker 2: in that in that movie was that Sully was not gray. 2337 01:53:35,412 --> 01:53:37,892 Speaker 2: He had had dark hair right through and still to 2338 01:53:37,933 --> 01:53:41,972 Speaker 2: this day. But for some reason, for some reason, Tom 2339 01:53:42,013 --> 01:53:45,052 Speaker 2: Hanks decided to run with a gray hair to be Sully. 2340 01:53:45,213 --> 01:53:46,093 Speaker 3: It worked for him, didn't that. 2341 01:53:46,372 --> 01:53:48,253 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know why, but that that 2342 01:53:48,333 --> 01:53:51,293 Speaker 2: reminds me of you know the statue of William Wallace 2343 01:53:51,412 --> 01:53:54,172 Speaker 2: that was erected in Scotland, but it was a statue 2344 01:53:54,213 --> 01:53:58,532 Speaker 2: of mel Gibson and William Wallace.
