Also this morning, 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: Adrian Or have been thinking about him. Yesterday afternoon I 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: noticed that brad Olsen had come out and said because 51 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: the job start we got was largely in line with 52 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: what the Reserve Bank had predicted, and based on those predictions, 53 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank said we don't need to cut rates 54 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: until next year. If Adriane Or and the committee that 55 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 2: goes away and decides these things, if they come back 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: and say, actually we do need to cut now, then 57 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: what the hell was the predictions and what were they 58 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: based on in the first place. And brad Olsen says 59 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: heads should have to roll if that situation played out. 60 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm starting to feel No, you don't 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: feel do you feel sorry for Adrian Or? I mean, 62 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: it's an impossible situation. Isn't it. Because the counterfactual as well, 63 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: if he lowers interest rates and then inflation goes up again, 64 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: creeps up again, that non tradable inflation that's sticky. The 65 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: domestic inflation doesn't seem to be moving much. If that happened, 66 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: imagine what we'd say then, you know, we'd be hanging it. 67 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say that, hanging in the streets. We would 68 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: be very very angry, wouldn't we because it would just 69 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: prolong the whole We'd have to start again, you know, 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: and then psychological you'd have to start again for those 71 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: businesses that are laying people off, and you know when 72 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: people are going to start spending again.

Soaring food prices are taking 94 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 2: a toll on our kids. This is published a new 95 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: report published this morning. It's published in the Journal of 96 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: Royal Society of New Zealand by the University of Auckland. 97 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: It found food basket prices increased by thirty five percent 98 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 2: in the six years from twenty eighteen to December of 99 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: last year. This is for healthy food for families. It 100 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: means it's virtually impossible for a family on a benefit 101 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: to afford healthy food, and with more than one third 102 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: of kids being overweight or obese, it's even more reasons 103 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: to be concerned. The Health Coalition ALTAEDO are Food Policy 104 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: Expert Advisory Group cod CH heare Sally mackay is with us. 105 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: She's a nutritionist. Sally. Good morning, Sally. Can you hear me? 106 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: I think we might have to try and get us Sally? 107 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: Are you there? Yes? 108 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 2: I am there. We go tell me how concerning? Is 109 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 2: this one of the interesting things I read in the report? 110 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: Just five point four percent of kids aged two to 111 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: fourteen years eat the recommended veggies per day. 112 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 6: Yes, that is very concerning. And the recommendations for vegetables 113 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 6: did actually change in the last few years, and the 114 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 6: recommendation is now a little bit higher than it was, 115 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 6: which is another reason why that figure does look so low. 116 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 6: But even before the recommendations changed, many of our children 117 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 6: were not getting enough vegetables every day. 118 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: Are they too high the recommendations? I was having a 119 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: look at it. I think it's if you're twelve to thirteen, 120 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: it's five vs gees per day and two pieces of 121 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 2: fruit per day. I mean, is that a bit much? 122 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: I mean, if ninety five percent of kids aren't doing it. 123 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 6: Well. The recommendations, I guess are something to aim for, 124 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 6: and even if you can get close to those recommendations 125 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 6: then that would be better for your health. With vegetables, 126 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 6: the more you eat the better. So yeah, if you're 127 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 6: getting close, then that's not so bad. And we do 128 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 6: do a little bit better on the fruit as well, 129 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 6: but still about half of our children don't get enough 130 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 6: fruit and those recommendations are quite manageable at only two 131 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 6: pieces per day. 132 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: What is the impact of the last few years on 133 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: low income families when it comes to healthy food. 134 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 6: Well, we've seen that there's a lot more food parcels 135 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 6: that have been given out and the latest data on 136 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 6: food in security in New Zealand shows that one in 137 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 6: five children household they often or sometimes run out of food. 138 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 6: So obviously this impacts those children that don't get enough 139 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 6: to eat, and in particular it impacts their learning when 140 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 6: they're at school, and that's what we're really concerned about. 141 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: And this is basically this research is basically a new 142 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 2: tool to measure the cost of feeding kids. 143 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 6: Well, yes, so we have that New Zealand has a 144 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 6: food price index and they publish the prices of about 145 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 6: over one hundred foods every month, and so this way 146 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 6: we can keep track of what it costs to feed 147 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 6: a family very easily with this tool that has been developed. 148 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 2: The sad thing here is those families who are on benefits. 149 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it is hard when you're on 150 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: a fixed income like that. Surely we need to be 151 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 2: encouraging more families into work. 152 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 6: Well, we need to. I mean for some families, the 153 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 6: reasons they're on the benefit because it is difficul call 154 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 6: to work and they need to be on it. So, yes, 155 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 6: while we do want some families to work, we want 156 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 6: those that have to be on the benefit to be 157 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 6: able to afford healthy food. And often it's the other 158 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 6: cost like the rent and the transport and the electricity 159 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 6: that mean that there's not very much left over for 160 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 6: food at the end of the day. 161 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, No, I was referring to the job seekert there. 162 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 2: Does this include do this research look at you know, 163 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: the schools providing lunches for kids, families who might be 164 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: gardening or growing their own food that kind of stuff. 165 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 6: No, it doesn't, and we have done some other research 166 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 6: that shows obviously if you are gathering or growing your 167 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 6: own food from other sources then that will bring that down. 168 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 6: And the Healthy School Lunch is program that does provide 169 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 6: a free lunch to about a quarter of our children. 170 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 6: Of course, that is going to help those families with 171 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 6: their budgets, and research has that it does reduce the 172 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 6: food budget per week. So we're pleased to see that 173 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 6: the government has kept the Healthy School Lunches program and 174 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 6: it would be great if it could reach more children. 175 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: All right, Sally, thank you very much for your time. 176 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: That's doctor Sally McKay. She's with the Health Coalition Altered. Oh, 177 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: it just got eighteen minutes after five. How many vigies 178 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: do you eat every day? I struggle to think I 179 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: had a lot of eggs. I think only I only 180 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: really have veggies at dinner to be honest with you, 181 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: and I don't have any fruit. Does that make me unhealthy? 182 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: Or does that just make me like the ninety five 183 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: percent of New Zealand children who aren't meeting the recommended 184 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: daily dose of veggies and fruit. Nineteen after five Ginny 185 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 2: Anderson Next. 186 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: On your radio and online on iHeartRadio Early Edition with 187 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge and Smith City, New Zealand's Furniture, Beds and 188 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: a Plying Store news Talk. 189 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: Sa'd be it is twenty one after five year on 190 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: news Talk said be, we're in a race to get 191 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: to a race five twenty eight this morning, the women's 192 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: pursuit cycle team is in a gold medal race. We're 193 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: going to bring it for you live right now. Though 194 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: in Well, I suppose it's petty politics. We're going to 195 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: Ginny Anderson, who's the Labor police spokesperson, because the police 196 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: Minister Mark Mitchell is refusing to allow Labor a Labor's 197 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: Ginny Anderson to meet an Auckland police inspector. Sounds pretty 198 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: petty to me. It comes two years after Mitchell himself, 199 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: who was then National's police spokesperson in opposition you'll remember, 200 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: was blocked from meeting with police leaders by the then 201 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 2: police Minister Portor Williams, a decision he said was petulant 202 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: and vindictive. Ginny Anderson's with us, good. 203 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 7: Morning, Good morning Ryan, how are you. 204 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 2: I'm good, thank you. Now I just want to read 205 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 2: you what he has said. His office has told us. 206 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: He says, basically, I would support such a request if 207 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: you were going to meet with the commissioner. I cannot 208 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 2: support a generic request to visit a police station with 209 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 2: no context, with a week's. 210 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 7: No Well, I think he's walking that back quite quickly 211 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 7: because he's realized that he has made a mistake. It's 212 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 7: a well established practice that you go to the minister's office. 213 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 7: Borrows myself and Chris Hopkins never made any attempts to 214 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 7: stop him from making visits when he was the opposition spokesperson, 215 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 7: and all the information that's required as the date and 216 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 7: the place until you intend to meet with So I 217 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 7: think he's realized that he's reacted in the wrong way. 218 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: So were you just going to bowl up or had 219 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: you been contact with someone there to meet with them? 220 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 7: We'd sort of to the MP on the ground often 221 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 7: makes inquiries. We wouldn't attend unless the minister had approved. 222 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 2: But was the meeting did you speak to did you 223 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 2: arrange a meeting with an inspector there and then go 224 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: get permission from the minister or did you do the 225 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: minister first? And actually you haven't got a specific meeting 226 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: in mind. 227 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 7: I think Shannon Helbert had done some liminary work, but 228 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 7: we wouldn't do that until the minister had approved the meeting. 229 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: Right, Because it sounds like he says I cannot support 230 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: a generic request to visit a police station with no 231 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: context or the week to notice. It sounds like he 232 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: was worried that if he gave you permission, you were 233 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: just going to bowl up there and just sort of 234 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 2: harass people. 235 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 7: No, no, that's not the practice. It's quite an established 236 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 7: practice that you only speak with someone who's inspector level 237 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 7: or higher, and it's a meeting, usually in the station, 238 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 7: and it would be half an hour an hour. He'd 239 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 7: done it many many times himself. He should know that 240 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 7: it's a pretty standard practice. And the overall concern is 241 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 7: we would not want to politicize the police. So it's 242 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 7: fighting by general rules to make sure the police are 243 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 7: protected from visits and we not dragged into the sort 244 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 7: of political you know. 245 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough. Who was the inspector, Janine, What did 246 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 2: you want to talk to them about? 247 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 7: Oh, well, we were quite interested in an Auckland retail crime. 248 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 7: That has been an ongoing issue for both governments. So 249 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 7: it's important that we understand the recent events that have 250 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 7: been happening, how they are upon the community, and also 251 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 7: what Mesure's police are putting into place to reassure the 252 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 7: community that things are being responded too quickly. 253 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 2: Ginny, thank you very much for coming on the show. 254 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: Ginny Anderson, Labour's police spokesperson, responding there to Mark Mitchell's 255 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: refusal to allower into the police station in Albany.

This is not the raised crossings? 341 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: What is this so a good story? In the post today? 342 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 11: Emails from fire and an emergency to the City Council 343 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 11: have been revealed, showing well a range of complaints and 344 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 11: warnings about new cycle ways features around the city. One example, 345 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 11: on Kent and Cambridge Terraces, the council put in a 346 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 11: pretty looking set of planter boxes where there was a 347 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 11: sort of opportunity to u turn. Of course, there was 348 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 11: a fire crews left the station. They couldn't make their 349 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 11: usual turn up the road because these things suddenly appeared. 350 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 11: They had to go all the way up to the 351 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 11: Basin Reserve turn around. Those planter boxes were later removed 352 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 11: fends also complaining about new newtown cycle ways. We've been 353 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 11: reporting on those raised crossings on Thornton Key. The council 354 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 11: meeting today to discuss those Fens did admit it could 355 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 11: have been a little more proactive in the past about 356 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 11: sounding warnings about these works, which might be why we're 357 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 11: hearing a little more about them now. 358 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 2: Goodness mate, is that their responsibility? We have weather today max. 359 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 11: Occasional rain, strong northeries twelve. 360 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: Thank you very much neighbors and Auckland this morning, good morning, 361 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: good morning. Now what time can does you sell booze? 362 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: To tell and Auckland is at ten pm? You can? 363 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 12: Well, yes, well I always are. Usually when I'm at 364 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 12: the supermarket, I'm the early like at about six or 365 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 12: seven am and I'll just pop on you a bottle 366 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 12: of wine. 367 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 2: Then at that top it. 368 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 12: Just put it on my way trolley. So I'm never 369 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 12: there at night. But I think it is you know 370 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 12: you can go when ten pm. So now what's happening 371 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 12: is that the Auckland supermarkets and bars will likely soon 372 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 12: have to stop selling alcohol earlier the city local Alcohol 373 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 12: policy now that's just been approved. This is by the 374 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 12: Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing authority. So Mayor Wayne Brown and 375 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 12: the council is what they have to do now is 376 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 12: that they have to choose a date for this policy 377 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 12: to come into force. So it means that the bottle shops, 378 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 12: supermarkets they're going to have to stop selling it at 379 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 12: nine pms, Are you quite right? Nine pm? And bars 380 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 12: and restaurants they won't be able to sell This is 381 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 12: what I like any later that four am. Who's out 382 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 12: drinking after four? 383 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: I thought it was, you know, like nine pm. It 384 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 2: just means you have to stock up with more. 385 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 12: Well, that's right, You've got to be organized, be organized 386 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 12: with you and with it.

They're calling 438 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 13: Tim Walls a far left lunatic or a left wing 439 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 13: radical Ryan. 440 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, take your pick.

It means basically, 451 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: thirty three thousand people who had jobs this time last 452 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: year are now out of work. But what a business 453 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 2: is on the ground seeing right now? Because remember that's 454 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 2: that's old data by now, isn't it. The Employer of 455 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 2: Manufacturers Association.

We've been 459 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 4: seeing a steady increase in the numbers of businesses calling 460 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 4: out advice line, our helpline for our members to talk 461 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 4: about restructuring and redundancy. And I really had expected it 462 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 4: to start heading the other way, but we just hit 463 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 4: a record high in July of one hundred and sixty 464 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 4: three calls in a month. 465 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: What are they asking you these businesses? 466 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 4: It's basically how to go about the right way to 467 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 4: make people redundant or downsize their businesses because the business 468 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 4: simply isn't there and they haven't got the work for 469 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 4: those people. 470 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: What sort of businesses are calling you? We're looking at 471 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of methadecks and taranaki. We're looking at 472 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: the pulp mills. Are recycling paper mill in Auckland in 473 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 2: the news in the last couple of days because of 474 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: energy costs, they're looking at getting rid of it, folks. 475 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: What are you seeing? What types of businesses? 476 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 4: It's across the board. It's most of our members are 477 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 4: what you'd call small to medium businesses, so smaller than 478 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: probably one hundred or fewer than one hundred employees, and 479 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 4: all parts of the economy really manufacturing struggling quite badly 480 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 4: at the moment, but it's all sectors of the economy. 481 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: Once Adrien or decides to start lowering rates, how much 482 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 2: longer will it take for you guys, for your members 483 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 2: to feel it. 484 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 4: Well, if the Reserve Bank does lower rates, it's likely 485 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 4: can only be zero point two five percent. I think 486 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 4: it's more about the signal than anything else. There are 487 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 4: a few green shuits out there, and I think if 488 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 4: the Reserve Bank did lower rates, that would be a 489 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 4: signal that says, look, things are going to get better 490 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 4: and try and hang on. But it takes a while 491 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: for those of those signals to flow through into reality. 492 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 4: I suppose twelve to eighteen months. 493 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: Usually, Allen, thank you very much for your time.

Obviously 504 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: got carried away, remember Ali Williams. I mean, there's been 505 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: many an athlete arrested in France for with cocaine, buying 506 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 2: cocaine whatever.
