1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Quarter to five and that means berries here berry, good afternoon,

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: good afternoon, right, yay. Can we celebrate growth?

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: Oh, we most certainly can. Congratulations, jubilation. We've got growth

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: of over one percent for the quarter, one point one percent,

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: and I've got to say if you look around the world,

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: that's a strong growth rate compared even to Australia they

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: had zero point four percent for the September quarter. The

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: UK has zero point one percent. So New Zealand's looking

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: pretty good. And of course it's a great Christmas present

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: for Nikola Willis. She's beaming from air to air today.

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: The point that she makes is that she's pleased with

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: particularly the growth areas two point two percent in the

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: manufacturing sector and one point seven percent in construction, one

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: point six percent in business services. Now, you know, we've

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: been harping on on this program for some time that

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: things are going to turn the corner, and this is

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: the first indication that they are turning the corner. And

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: I think next year is going to be a vastly

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: difficult year. As you know, Ryan, people have to have

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: to approach a year with confidence, and this will hopefully

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: give them a bit of confidence exactly.

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: And All of those sectors you've just mentioned are all

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: job rich ones, right, So it's been part of the puzzle.

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: The only thing is, because you know ben Z's coming

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: out with something on this comparison with China and with

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Australian stuff, is that we are coming off a lower

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: but a lower base, so it doesn't feel like we

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: probably don't feel like we're doing three times better than

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: the Australian you know what I mean.

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: I think we're just getting over Adrian or pumping us into.

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: A station exactly. You're exactly right, very exactly right.

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: Now.

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Our Parliament wound up last night a bit of a roasting.

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: I had to look at the best bits last night.

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Wasn't that great?

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: Wasn't it? Well? One roasting? I really well, it was

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: several that I actually liked. Was Chris Lackson, who, of

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: course you mentioned it was on a jet Stares afternoon

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: coming back to Auckland. It won't be for cost reasons.

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: It'll be schedule, I would think, but you wouldn't believe

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 2: it because Heather has raved on about us going on

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: jet Star for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

43
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: For the first time we were jet Star virgins. And

44
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: the number of virgins that we came across outside the

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: cor club, sitting in the the you know, out in

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: the public concourse. Oh god, they were all virgins. Going on. Anyway,

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: I've said enough about that clearly, you guys.

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: Well, I like worry. So this is I don't have

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: a core membership, and I probably have flown in the

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: last three years more on Jetstar than I have in

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: New Zealand.

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 2: Oh dear, oh listen, can I leave.

53
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: I haven't been I haven't been here long enough to

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: get a core membership.

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you how the price is compared. It

56
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 2: was one fifty bucks to fly to Wellington from Auckland

57
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: and New in New Zealand, so flight four hundred and

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: fifty bucks.

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: Yes, that's outrageous, it is.

60
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: But anyway, look away to the roasting on Winston Peter's

61
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: Chris lux and I thought it was a great line.

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: He said, he's done a sterling job representing New Zealand

63
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: on the world stage. He's actually such a dedicated foreign

64
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: minister that he's mastered French. And every time he gets

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: a post or post something on social media, he replies,

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: we h.

67
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: It was quite good. It was good.

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: I think that's very clear.

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: And the other one I quite liked is self deprecating

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: one where he said he spoke to Jesus every night.

71
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: That's right, that was Seymour, he said. Earlier this year

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: David said that Jesus very well might support act and

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: he said, but I talked to the guy every night,

74
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: and I've never heard him say anything about it.

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: But do you always wonder who's writing these jokes?

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Well, of course, you know, I mean you can't take

77
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: it away from him. He had to deliver it. But

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean Chris Hopkins. He had some pretty good ones

79
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: as well. He said on Chris Bishop, for one, he

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: said he should be the host of a barbecue. He

81
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: prepares one special meal, a wild mushroom stroggen off, but

82
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: it's only for Chris Luxon, you know.

83
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: So there was some good, good cut and we had

84
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: after t MP for her name Escape singing, singing, and

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: what she has a beautiful voice. I mean, she can

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: belt it out totally.

87
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Out of tune. I'm sorry, Oh it was Crane.

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: I saw it cut up. I thought it was okay.

89
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: Now listen again.

90
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: The Greens said they're going to tighten selection. Look, I

91
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: find Jetstar so clearly I've got no class, no taste.

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Green said they're going to tighten the selection processes for

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: their party.

94
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: Well, yes, and one would you would have to say,

95
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: indeed they need to because Darley and Tana remember her,

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: and remember Benjamin Doyle. He faced serious threats when he

97
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: and vitriol before he decided to quit parliament after even

98
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: less than a year. Chloe Swarbrick said that they were

99
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: really proud of their MPs and focusing on what they're

100
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: going to do for next year's election. Well, certainly I

101
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: think they have to look at their selection process because

102
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: it really hasn't stood the test this year.

103
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: No, it's certainly not very appreciate that.

104
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: Nice to talk to you, Jetstar Man.

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: I may or may not see you in a Core

106
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: lounge in sometime in the future with Politics. For more
