Lady Wilson heading here for 7 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 2: the first time. She's with us after eight catlin Field 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 2: and France. Rob Little is in heat wave number four 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: in the UK. Posky Tuesday morning, seven past six. Welcome 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: to it. Questioner supporting a Palestinian state something you do 11 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: when you look like you're wanting to do something. The 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: Australian Cabinet signed it off allegedly yesterday. The announcement's due 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: maybe in September. We apparently are thinking about it, talking 14 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 2: about it. Maybe we do the same thing, Maybe we don't. 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: If anything happens, we'll join France and Canada. People also 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: claim the UK has done the same thing, although I 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: read the UK is having threatened Israel with it as 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: a as opposed to offering it to some sort of 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: move towards peace. The two state solution to what what 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: actually happens? I mean, does the war stop, does the 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 2: hate stop, does the aid flow? Do people stop dying? 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: Does her mass leave town? Are the weapons put down? 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: Does anything actually happen? Obviously, Israel's ropable in the United 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: States won't be far behind, and they're upset. But it 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: appears it's one of those things you do once you've 26 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: called for a cease fire. Didn't happen, Hostages to be released, 27 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: didn't happen, aid to be allowed into Gaza maybe or 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 2: maybe didn't happen. The reality as opposed to the endless 29 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 2: fanciful hot air is the headline I read yesterday which 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 2: summed it all up, beautifully trapped in a death spiral, 31 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: Net and Yahoo and Hamas commit to endless war. Isn't 32 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: that the simple truth? Right or wrong? Nothing's happening, nothing's new, 33 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 2: and the advance or the advantage of having been awry 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 2: in a while, as you have seen the same story 35 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: over and over again. I mean when October happened almost 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: two years ago. Now the Israelis hit back. I said 37 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: on this very program, this will be the same as 38 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: last time and the time before. Go back as far 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: as you like. I said that not because I'm some genius, 40 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: but because it's obvious as each month passes, all the 41 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: usual players have j your, and all the usual players 42 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: have said what usual players have said every time. Impotent 43 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: bystanders who at best can dabble periodically in small amounts 44 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: of aid or help say things. People who can't really 45 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: say anything say some aid, some threats, some sanctions, some threats. 46 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: The severity of each chapter depends about on who's in 47 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 2: the White House. Of course, that's why this has gone 48 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: longer and harder. But two groups determined to wipe each 49 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: other off the face of the earth will never stop 50 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: until one wins. Definitively recognizing one as a state will 51 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: not make a jot of difference. News of the world 52 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: in ninety seconds one day in DC. So she's busy 53 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: at the White House? 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: Where's Caroline? 55 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 4: Where's my superstar Carolina? 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 5: Is she doing a good job? 57 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: By the way, camera, is this the largest crowd we 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 4: that you've ever seen? 59 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 6: This is definitely the most part freefit. 60 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: Crime in Washington and war in Ukraine were the topics 61 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: of the day. The New ag needs help on the street. 62 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 7: If they're under eighteen years of age. I can only 63 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 7: get the case. If it's murder, rob one, rape, even 64 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 7: if they shoot a gun but don't kill you, I 65 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 7: can't get it. So the law has to be changed. 66 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 7: As the President said, counselors fail, that has to be changed. 67 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: It was so busy. Donald forgot that he was going 68 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: to Alaska on Friday by saying he was going to Russia, 69 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: which we assume he isn't. Anyway, Here is how it's 70 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: going to roll. 71 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 4: There'll be some land swapping going on. I know that 72 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 4: through Russia and through conversations with everybody to the good 73 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 4: for the good of Ukraine, good stuff, not bad stuff, 74 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: also some bad stuff, for both is good and there's bad. 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: Don't worry, it's only the world we're running, which leaves, 76 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: of course v Lood sort of finn't know, waiting and watching. 77 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 8: President Zelenski and Ukraine has said, it's obvious that Russia 78 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 8: wants to buy time. 79 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: Not end the war meantime in the other war, the 80 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: claimer's journalists are now the new targets. 81 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 9: I feel I'm not safe. I could be killed any 82 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 9: time because I'm a journalist or because I'm just a 83 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 9: regular citizen here. But despite that, we have to continue 84 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 9: covering and titting that truth. Otherwise the word will not. 85 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: Know what is the running here related matters in Britain. 86 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: The government's trying this morning to convince BRIT's the arrests 87 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: over the weekend we then getting serious about radicals. 88 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 10: Prescription is about one narrow group that has been involved 89 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 10: in violent attacks, including injuries, including weapons, smoke bombs, causing 90 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 10: panic among innocent people. This is not a nonviolent organization. 91 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 2: No, it is not Finally Bitcoin Gate, James Howell's whilst 92 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: eight thousand bitcoins you know the name, his former partner 93 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: threw his computer out of their house today. That would 94 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: be worth one point four billion. So this is the bloke. 95 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: He's been going through the courts to try and get 96 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: permission to search a rubbish dump and Newport. He's even 97 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: offered to buy the landfill site. He was backed by 98 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: a bunch of hitch fund millionaires. But today, well Saidley, 99 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: it's over. He's given up the court. Losses are piling 100 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: up stairs and the fortune is now lost for him 101 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: to use the world of ninety Trump mess. A moment 102 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: ago while when he was busy talking about land swaps 103 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: and stuff, he was also placing d C Washington the 104 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: police department under federal control.

He's deploying 106 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: the National Guarden to Washington. He called it Liberation Day 107 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: in DC.

Everyone 109 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: else is saying, well, crimes down, what's your problem? But 110 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: it's you know, we saw it out west, we're seeing 111 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: it now out east. Twelve past six. 112 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 113 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: by News Talks EVY. 114 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: Quick question, Is this the beginning of the fight back? 115 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 5: Ford? 116 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: US have announced the two billion dollar investment in Louisville 117 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: rolling up more affordable electric vehicles or come to the 118 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 2: price of a Chinese EV in China at the moment. 119 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: But that's on top of their three billion already planned 120 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: for a battery park in Michigan. So they're going to 121 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 2: build a mid size four door electric pickup slated for 122 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. So I don't know whether that's at 123 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: China or not. And they're just desperate. Fifteen past six 124 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: and JM. I wealth for Andrew Keller, her good morning, 125 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: very good morning match. I would have thought today is 126 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: a lock across the Tasman. Isn't it twenty five all 127 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: the way. 128 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 11: It would appear to be? So yeah, it pretty quiet 129 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 11: starts the week for local mark. Not the case across 130 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 11: the Tasman though they've got cash right day today always 131 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 11: very exciting. This is the RBA announcing the latest prognosis 132 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 11: on monetary policy settings. And yeah, you're right, Mike, there's 133 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 11: almost universal consensus they will drop their interest rate over there. 134 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 5: It's currently sitting at three point eighty five percent. 135 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 11: And the viewers will be a twenty five point shift 136 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 11: lower to three point six. Now we always do this comparison, 137 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 11: doesn't it because this is what we do in New Zealand. 138 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 11: We compare ourselves to Australia. We're sitting at three and 139 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 11: a court three point twenty five percent, quite a bit lower. 140 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 11: But the arby insts pause strong arguments or I think 141 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 11: the strong army that we need a little bit more 142 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 11: of a shot in the arm or of it, do 143 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 11: you know it? So Westpac economic review that came out 144 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 11: this morning, they're basically saying three percent is the base. 145 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 5: But I even the Prime Minister Mike. 146 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 11: Is verbalizing that we need that we're expecting more interest 147 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 11: rate cuts. 148 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 5: I think he said that yesterday. 149 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 11: Now, look, the Ossie economy does appear to be calling 150 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 11: inflation over there at headline level. Their recent release for 151 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 11: the June quarter two point one. That's fallen from two 152 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 11: point four. The RBA's preferred measure is what they call 153 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 11: the trimmed mean, which smooths out some Volatility's actually sitting 154 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 11: higher about two point seven, very similar to our headline 155 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 11: number at two point seven. Although we have some concern 156 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 11: and the short term it could creep up if we 157 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 11: if we look at growth, well, it looks a knemic 158 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 11: here in the second quarter. 159 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 5: It's also slowing in Australia. 160 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 11: Our unemployment rate is quite a bit higher and unfortunate 161 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 11: it's moving in the wrong direction. Just as an aside, 162 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 11: you've got CPI data out in the US tonight, so 163 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 11: that'll have a bearing on the. 164 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 5: Next US move on on their cash rates. We'll keep 165 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: a cose eye on that tonight. 166 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, the OCR here market pricing is now assuming the 167 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 11: OCR does move to two point seven five percent in 168 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 11: early twenty twenty six. 169 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 5: The point I would make though, is that the RB. 170 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 11: And Z myight does have three opportunities move the official 171 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 11: cash rate between now and Christmas. So there's plenty of 172 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 11: opportunity to get that rate down and give us a 173 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 11: little wee Christmas present. 174 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: Isn't that there is beef across the Tasman. So this 175 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: interests me because they'll land in America at ten and 176 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: we're paying fifteen. So that's got to be an issue 177 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: for us. 178 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 11: Yeah, I couldn't help but notice this, Yes, it was 179 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 11: actually in the Financial It was in the Financial Times. 180 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 11: There was an article yesterday and it was sort of 181 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 11: quoting Ossie beef producers. 182 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 5: Now applauding or cheering. 183 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 11: That might be a little bit, that might be a 184 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 11: little bit strong, but anyway, they're pointing out that the 185 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 11: tariff outcomes. So this speaks to this issue we've talked 186 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 11: about a number of times, Mike. It wasn't so much 187 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 11: where that tariflied, It was about the relativity and if 188 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 11: we look at the beef producers to the US, I 189 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 11: mean here they have got Brazil fifty, Canada at thirty 190 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 11: five and we're at fifteen and Aussie at ten. So 191 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 11: the Aussie's have have won that contest, yes, contest, and 192 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 11: the Aussie Trade min is to even quoting pointing out 193 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 11: the Aussie advantage I would argue, Mike, there's two groups 194 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 11: there isn't the guys that have locked this Brazil in 195 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 11: Canada and the people that have won, which is US 196 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 11: and Australia. And look, demand for Australian beef has surged 197 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 11: in recent years as well as it has for US. 198 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 11: I'm taking the guys our full position on this. I 199 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 11: think we're actually we've probably come out okay. 200 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: How we is this in Nvidia AMD thing? I mean, 201 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 2: so you can't sell it to China, but actually now 202 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 2: you can, but you better slip me a few dollars. 203 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 2: I mean, what's that about? 204 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 11: This is weird. This is an interesting development here. It's 205 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 11: not got a lot of press because obviously there's lots 206 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 11: of other things going on at the moment, but it's 207 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 11: definitely raising eyebrows and it will prompt ongoing discussion. So 208 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 11: you've got this very unusual agreement here where Nvidia and 209 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 11: AMD have agreed to give the US government. Now we're 210 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 11: not sure what exactly it is, but it's either fifteen 211 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 11: percent of their profit or fifteen percent of their revenues 212 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 11: from chip sales to China, apparently in return for it 213 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 11: getting these export licenses. 214 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 5: So this is for the sale of specific chips that 215 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 5: I mean, this is weird. I'm not aware of this 216 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 5: type of a. 217 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's almost like a shakedown. It was saying, look, 218 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 11: we didn't want you to sell, but okay, you can 219 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 11: sell them as long as you share some of the money. 220 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 5: It's like a protection reckord. 221 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 11: It does set up a president and I think it 222 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 11: will be it will be a fascinating ongoing discussion because 223 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 11: people look around say, well, who's next. 224 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: Exactly right numbers, please. 225 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 11: The Dow Jones is down one hundred and eighty nine 226 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 11: points point four to three percent, forty three thousand, nine 227 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 11: hundred and six, just going down through the forty four 228 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 11: thousand level. 229 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 5: The S and P five hundred, down. 230 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 11: Five sixty three eight four and then they stack down 231 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 11: fifteen points, so very small.

News Weapons open 256 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: domestically in America over the weekend forty two point five million. 257 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 2: Is that good? Yes? Second time this year that an 258 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: original horror was number one at the box office. Sinners 259 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: was the other one. Forty five and a half million 260 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: earlier on this year. Number two was Freaky of Friday. 261 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 2: That's Jamielee Curtis Lindsay line. It's a it's a you 262 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: know to remake. So anyway, the point being, the box 263 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: office over all is up seven points six percent on 264 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: this time last year. It's collected five and a half billion, 265 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: so it appears to some degree at least movies are 266 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: back at newstalks. 267 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: The Vike Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 268 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: by News Talks at be. 269 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 2: Mike seems to be the huge elephants in the room 270 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 2: with that poll of preferred Prime Minister TV and said 271 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: didn't address that. You add up the numbers twenty percent 272 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: for lux and nineteen percent for Hipkins plus a few 273 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: other's only amount to fifty five percent. So what's the 274 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,599 Speaker 2: remaining forty five percent? Well, it doesn't really matter. I 275 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 2: don't think it's an elephant of the room market. Just 276 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: people who don't know don't care. Mike national being too soft, 277 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: especially on the Treaty principles, and the public are displaying 278 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: their disappointment through the polls. They don't mean they will 279 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 2: lose the election. It doesn't mean they'll lose the election. 280 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: This is a disapprovable message, especially to Luxon. There was 281 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: one part that was completely messed up. Coming back to 282 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: that in the moment six twenty five. 283 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 12: Trending now with Chemist Wells keeping Kiwi's healthy. 284 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: All year round. 285 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: Now the moment of truth. 286 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 4: You fc fos around the world happen. 287 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: For the average sportscape. It's another twist. This morning the 288 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: news Paramount has brought the rights to the UFC. This 289 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: is a seven year, seven point seven billion dollar deal, 290 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: which is good news for the sport because the current deal, 291 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: which is with the ESPN Americas for half a billion 292 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: dollars over five years, So the current pay per view 293 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: model is going to go. If other words, if you're 294 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: a Paramount plus customer, you're going to get the fights. 295 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: Is paramount plus all over the place? Not really. They're 296 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: in the US, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Ireland, Italy, Australia, a 297 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 2: lot of bu as well via Sky Cinema. Not here 298 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 2: unless you've got a BPN who can be bothered with 299 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 2: a BPN. So in total, it's forty three live events, 300 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty hours of live programming, and the 301 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 2: problem is that it's you're not going to bep in 302 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: it here and where you're going to see it. So 303 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: the thinking is that there will be separate deals done, 304 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: so someone here may or may not approach Paramount plus 305 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 2: and cut a deal. As part of that deal. By 306 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: the way, Paramount also get a thirty day exclusive negotiating 307 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,239 Speaker 2: window for each country's rights when they're up for renewal. 308 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: So that's interesting. Then we come to form the one 309 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 2: US this morning. Are they think at least in America, 310 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: although given it to Apple, it must be global. Apple's 311 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: won the rights as of twenty twenty six for the 312 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: States anyway, it's one twenty to one to fifty million 313 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: per ESPN has also got the rights that have had 314 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: since twenty eighteen. They're remaining in the mix. But ESPN's 315 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 2: offer apparently ninety V apples one twenty to one fifty, 316 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: so you go where the money is. Apple's already got 317 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: deals for Major League Football, as in soccer, major League baseball, 318 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: so they're moving into sport. ESPN's moving into sport because 319 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 2: they've got a massive NFL connection that's going on at 320 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: the moment. It's becoming increasingly convoluted and complex and at 321 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: times difficult to actually work out where the hell you 322 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: go to watch sport new for you in a couple 323 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: of moments, then we ask the unusual question should we 324 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: grow Rice. 325 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: The Mike cos Game, We've been safeful, engaging and vital 326 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Veda, Retirement Communities, Life 327 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: Your Way, News, togsad bre. 328 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: Couple of wikies. On last night's TV one pole one 329 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: is Labour went up four points, but it was never 330 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: explained where the four came from because the only people 331 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 2: who went down with the Greens who went down too, 332 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: So two of the four came from the Greens. The 333 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: other two seemed to come from nowhere. So to have 334 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 2: a look at the pole and add the numbers up, 335 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: I mean it all adds up, so I assume it's 336 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: within the margins, et cetera. Anyway, be that as it may. 337 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: What also wasn't pointed out is that once again the 338 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: government wins sixty three to fifty eight seats. So it's 339 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 2: all center left, center right. Whether the Labour's up or 340 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 2: down doesn't really matter. It's the block. Where's the block? 341 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: Is the block winning the election? Yes or no? So 342 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: the center right block the current government sixty three seats 343 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: v fifty eight. That's comfortable when and more importantly, here's 344 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: the point everyone missed. That's in the middle of winter 345 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: and the depths of despair, with all the issues going 346 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: on at the moment. In this general sense, the government 347 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: isn't performing particularly well. Despite all of that, they're still 348 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: winning sixty three to fifty eight. So by the time 349 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: we get to next year they gain to bolt home. Furthermore, 350 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: also not pointed out, the fifty eight to four fifty 351 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 2: eight six for the center left block comes with Greens 352 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: and the Maori Party. In other words, Labour can't get 353 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: close to government without both those parties. Now we know 354 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: the coalition on the center right works, you know, within 355 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: a margin, they're comfortable, they get on. It's functioning. Do 356 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: we know the left block can functioned at all? And 357 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: given we can't say that, there's your real issue for 358 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: next year twenty two to seven. 359 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: In the middle. 360 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: Even so, Europe a bit angsty at the moment over 361 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: this Alaska thing. Come Friday, they wouldn't mind a word 362 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: with Trump or Putin or Zelensky or no, just get 363 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: around the table. So more from Catherine. Shortly meantime, back 364 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: to ye is it out of left field or a 365 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: real possibility, the idea of growing rice commercially in this country. 366 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: Currently commercially we grow, of course none, but we import 367 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: ninety five million dollars worth, which is eighty five thousand 368 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: tons are Doctor Jacqueline Roweth, Adjunct Professor of Course at 369 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: Lincoln University, is back with us on the program Jaqueline, 370 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: good morning, good morning, night Now. So the suggestion has 371 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: been made. If you ever thought about it before, outside 372 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: of this particular suggesting you to be able thought, they'd go, 373 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: I wonder if we should grow rice. 374 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 13: We look at all sorts of things in the agricultural field. 375 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 13: Slight pun sorry there, but looking at what we might 376 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 13: be able to grow more efficiently, effectively and therefore profitably 377 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 13: than other countries. And it's lovely to see Yuki Fakuda 378 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 13: and taught her at Lincoln back in the nineties thinking 379 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 13: innovatively like this. What she's done is go for volume. 380 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 13: I think we should be looking at value. Rice is 381 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 13: a two dollars a kilo crop. Is it sensible to 382 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 13: be trying to grow it here? And she's talking about 383 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 13: in the future. So she's doing exploratory work because what 384 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 13: will it be replacing if we can grow something that 385 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 13: is of more high value, we should be sticking with debt. 386 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 13: And in Nelson, it's probably still going to be grapes 387 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 13: for a while exactly. 388 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: And that answers the question. Having said that, and would 389 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: we also want to grow for just purely domestic consumption, 390 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: which I assume as solving our importing problem. Would we 391 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 2: do that as that sensible or not? 392 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 13: We always do that if it's sensible. And the question, well, 393 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 13: we can't compete with India, China, Indonesia at the moment 394 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 13: they have minimum weight, Well, they don't have minimum wages, 395 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 13: they don't have maternity even all of those sorts of 396 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 13: things or acc and their environmental compliance is not the 397 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 13: same as ours. So you might be saying why do 398 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 13: we buy rice? Well, at least it gives. 399 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: Them an income, that's true. All I know about growing 400 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 2: rice is you need a tremendous amount of water. That 401 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 2: would be immediately an issue here, wouldn't it. 402 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 13: Yes, you can grow it without paddy the pogging though 403 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 13: water underwater type system, but it is quite a high 404 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 13: water user. It also use is quite a bit of 405 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 13: nitrogen on which people forget. So would we be able 406 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 13: to grow without as much water as they use in 407 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 13: many places in China, certainly, but yet it is a 408 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 13: high use of water. But might remember we use very 409 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 13: little of the water that we have available in this country, Yes, 410 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 13: only about five percent. 411 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 2: That's right. Where this came from. Partially is the climate 412 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: change thing. Is the climate change thing, in your view, 413 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: consistent enough and dramatic enough to change what's grown. And 414 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: we're in a fairly dynamic way. 415 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 13: We're looking at that all the time as researchers. And 416 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 13: it is certainly possible to grow things like lentils or 417 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 13: chickpeas on the Canterbury planes, but we can't do it economically. 418 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 13: So periodically people trusted out and remember the Foundation for 419 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 13: Raroble research those where it has looked at father beans, 420 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 13: for instance, can we shift our production systems? But it hasn't. 421 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 13: The climate has not got warm enough for and given 422 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 13: us a consistent harvest season to allow us to be 423 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 13: able to compete with for instance Canada for peas, even 424 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 13: peas we can't split peas, diapees we can't do Again, 425 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 13: it comes back to the cost of production, which includes 426 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 13: the wages, environmental compliance type problems. 427 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: Now, Jacquelin always appreciate your time and expertise. Jacqueline howth 428 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: Row with rather doctor Edge Bank, professor at Lincoln University, 429 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 2: eighteen minutes away from seven Husky. I can't hear the 430 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: term faber beans without thinking about Hannibal Lecter Cooperative Bank. 431 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 2: I'm assuming this is good news yesterday. They're replacing their 432 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: banking system. What they're looking to do is to scale 433 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 2: up to here we go, Nikola. You're listening, Nicola take 434 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 2: on the Big four. So it's going to happen over 435 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: the next three years. Their core technology platforms being replaced 436 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: help it innovate faster, introduce more digital features, and maybe 437 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: provide some more banking competition. Stand By, We're off to 438 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: the heat in the moment. In Europe eighteen two, the. 439 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered by 440 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: News Talks. 441 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 2: EP Mike Rice was growing commercially into bookie in the sixties. 442 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 2: While there's a fair fun fact in the morning and 443 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 2: obviously it's not ground there now. And what is kiwi fruit, 444 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: which was what Jacqueline was saying, you grow the stuff 445 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 2: that makes the money. As regards this weekend in Alaska, 446 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 2: here's how she's shaking down land wise. 447 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 4: They've occupied some very prime territory. We're going to try 448 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 4: and get some of that totory back for Ukraine, but 449 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 4: they've taken some very prime territory. They've taken largely ocean 450 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 4: you know, in real estate, we called ocean front property. 451 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 4: That's always the most valuable property. 452 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 14: International correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of mind 453 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 14: for New Zealand business like Miami. 454 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: Let's go through Europe and France. Catherin Field, very good 455 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: morning to you, Good morning man, sort of a repeat 456 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: what we were going through a couple of months ago 457 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 2: when he first dipped his tone to this particular negotiation, 458 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: wasn't it Where does Europe set? What are they going 459 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: to do? Are they on the phone? Where are you 460 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: at this morning? 461 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 15: Well, I think for the last couple of days, all 462 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 15: we've seen is this intensification of efforts across European capitals 463 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 15: to try and. 464 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 6: Shape the outcome of this summit. 465 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 15: Which has the possibility of determining Ukraine's fate. And with that, 466 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 15: you know, this is what it's important Europe's long term 467 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 15: security framework. So what we've been seeing, of course, since 468 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 15: that Saturday meeting between the British Foreign Secretary and the 469 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 15: US Vice President. We've seen a lot of running around 470 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 15: all these efforts by people like the German Chancellor, the President, 471 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 15: Notoseexuary General to try and get Europe a seat at 472 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 15: that table when the summit takes place on Friday in Alaska. 473 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 15: If not Europe, then try and get Zelenski to be there. 474 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 15: That is going to be the big thing that they're 475 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 15: pushing for now. What we're going to see in the 476 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 15: next couple of days, particularly Wednesday afternoon in Europe, Mike, 477 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 15: we're seeing virtual meetings which will be between Germany, France, Finland, 478 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 15: UK and goes on Nato Zelenski. That will be followed 479 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 15: by a meeting online meeting, virtual meeting with EU leaders, 480 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 15: President Trump and Dvance and after that we'll be seeing 481 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 15: a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. So what 482 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 15: the push now is is Europe really going to be 483 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 15: coming to the table. Well, that looks like it's not 484 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 15: really going to happen. Will Russia be going to the 485 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 15: summit looking for meaningful peace efforts to become or is 486 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 15: it going there to divide Europe? But also just the 487 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 15: whole hope that you're finding out what's going to happen, 488 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 15: who's going to happen, and hoping that Europe doesn't get 489 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 15: sold down the river. 490 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: Just as a vibe, the sense that something tangibly comes 491 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: out of that meeting, whether the Europe's involved or not. 492 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: In other words, they break up and go we've decided this. 493 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: What chanced that? 494 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 15: You know, M just talking to people here today. They're 495 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 15: pretty much getting used to the idea that they're not 496 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 15: going to have that much input to this meeting, to 497 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 15: this summit, and the best they can hope is maybe 498 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 15: Zelensky gets to go. And the vibe is they just 499 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 15: do not have any leverage left. 500 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 3: You don't forget. 501 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 15: This is all happening at the same time as people 502 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 15: are trying to be nice to Trump because of the tariffs. 503 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 15: So it's a very difficult, crucial time for the European continent. 504 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 2: But here's the interesting thing. So Putting and Trump decide 505 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 2: something and to go there it is, that's what we're doing. 506 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 2: And Zelenska obviously goes, well, no, I'm not giving that 507 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: land back. Where does Europe stand with? You want to 508 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 2: carry on the wall, do you? So here's some more money. 509 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 2: I mean, what do you do about that song. 510 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 15: That's exactly it. I mean, the whole idea of European 511 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 15: and Ukrainians thinking anything differently than they've thought right from 512 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 15: the start of this conflict that Ukraine designs its territorial integrity, 513 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 15: Ukraine designs its own future. It is not decided by 514 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 15: Vladimir Putin and it's not decided by Donald Trump, and 515 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 15: they will keep putting money in there. But everyone also 516 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 15: knows that this war will not end until Vladimir Putin 517 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 15: decides it's going to end. 518 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: Correct. Switzerland thirty nine Will we made any progress this week? 519 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 6: Well, yes we have. 520 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 15: Actually thirty nine cent taris announced last week for Switzerland. 521 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 15: What this Swiss doing now is they are in the 522 00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 15: middle of unraveling an order to buy thirty six lockeed 523 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 15: Martin F thirty fives from the US. These were due 524 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 15: to be delivered to the Swiss Air Force sometime between 525 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 15: twenty twenty seven and twenty thirty. That bill, of course, 526 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 15: got thirty nine percent added on to it immediately when 527 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 15: those tariffs were announced. So part of this backlash following 528 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 15: all that is the Swiss are now going to get 529 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 15: back to Parliament and asked Parliament if they can ditch 530 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 15: this order and if they can buy European fighter jets. Spain, 531 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 15: of course, has already done the same. Earlier this month, 532 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 15: it had said it wasn't going to buy any of 533 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 15: these US made F thirty five. They're going for European 534 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 15: military aircraft. I mean, let's not forget these. You know, 535 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 15: these American made fighter jets used to be sort of 536 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 15: the mainstay of European security. 537 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 6: Clearly not anymore. And we had earlier this year, remember. 538 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 15: Portugal also stopped in order they had for US made 539 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 15: fighter jets. They said that America, and this was back 540 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 15: then America was an unreliable ally. But also they said 541 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 15: they were concerned that the partners such as Portugal would 542 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 15: be blocked from access to things like software updates, spare parts, 543 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 15: that it just wasn't in their interest to put all 544 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 15: their eggs in the US basket. 545 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 2: All was a pleasure, Catherine, see you next week. Appreciate 546 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 2: it very much. He talks to us from about forty 547 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 2: degrees at the moment, as the heat wave settles into 548 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: that particular part of the world. Rod's feeling it two 549 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: not quite forty degrees, but nevertheless he's with us in 550 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: a couple of hours ten to seven. 551 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with a Vida Retirement Communities News 552 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: togs had been as. 553 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: You speaking of banks as there was a moment ago 554 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: I in Zeider moving on the one year fixed four 555 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: to seven nine six month, five fourteen, two year, four 556 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 2: eight nine, eighteen months or seven nine three years unchanged. 557 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: So we're starting to see a little bit of movement. 558 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 2: They're a market leader this time around. The bank is 559 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 2: moving the reserve bank next week this time next week, Wednesday, 560 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 2: next week, So that's bake den. I would have thought 561 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: at twenty five points. The big big question I'll come 562 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 2: to Kelly Echold, who Andrew referenced earlier on Kelly out 563 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 2: of Westpac paints are pretty and this is why the 564 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: government's going to win next year. Paints a reasonably rosy 565 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: picture on the economy. He though says neutrals at three. 566 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 2: I think he's wrong. Most people seem to factor in 567 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: two seven five are actually still say two point five. 568 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: But nevertheless, this bank a instead of moving on the 569 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 2: mortgage rates at the moment, and I think we can 570 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: probably expect the others to move as well as we 571 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,479 Speaker 2: build up to what is next Wednesday pretty much from 572 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank's point of view. Anyway, a fatal complee 573 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: with another cut five to seven. 574 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: Well, the ins and the outs. It's the fizz with 575 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: business tavor take your business productivity to the next level. 576 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 2: And speaking which a bit of insight into our economy. 577 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 2: Work done by Revolute who partner with you GV tens 578 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 2: of thousand people that did this all over the world. 579 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: But of the kiwis who were surveyed, forty two percent 580 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: of us say the financial position's gotten worse than the 581 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 2: last year. Anyway's got a rates bill seen that fifty 582 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 2: four percent of finding it hard to manage the money. 583 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 2: Thirty percent count budget effectively because he is gone the 584 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: day it comes in. The younger key is obviously doing 585 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 2: it tough, as seventy one percent between the ages of 586 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: twenty five and thirty four. Sixty three percent of twenty 587 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 2: four and unders admit they're facing significant financial challenges. I mean, 588 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: aren't we all? I mean, what a weird survey. Are 589 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: you facing a significant challeel? Well, I mean we're all 590 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 2: facing significant financial challenges? Are nineteen percent? So they get 591 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 2: caught up in impulse spending or buying a trip, I know, 592 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: what do you do Thatay, I'd bought a trip overall 593 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: spinning habits. Thirty four percent cost conscious. That means you're 594 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,959 Speaker 2: actively seeking ways to reduce unnecessary expenses. Sixteen percent are 595 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: extremely extremely cost conscious, so they're highly focused on minimizing 596 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: every expense, carefully evaluating each purchase, ensure it's necessary, and 597 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: often avoiding non essential purchases. Ten percent are prudent. I 598 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 2: am prudent generally stay within the budget, thoughtful decisions about spending, 599 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: although occasionally, just occasionally allowed for some unplanned purchases. Gen Z, 600 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: They got the lowest comfort levels, while millennials have the 601 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: highest comfort levels. Does that even me with comfort levels? 602 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 16: With wa? 603 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 5: Nice chair? 604 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: Was that a splooge? The cheer, nice cheer comfortable? Was 605 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: that a sploog? Well know, I thought about it. I 606 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 2: was extremely conscientious about it. 607 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 17: I didn't have a nice chair, but I've got a 608 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 17: nice cushion. 609 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 8: Yeah. 610 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: I couldn't afford good chair, but I had a cushion. 611 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: What are they calling it. They're calling it something like 612 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: something you know when you treat yourselves. Treatonomics, that's what 613 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: they're calling it. Treetonomics. You can't afford a bed, but 614 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 2: you can afford a throw. It's treetonomics. That's a thing 615 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: at the moment. Apparently Palestine, Apparently, according to our newsroom, 616 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: the world's eyes were on us. Something tells me that 617 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: isn't true. 618 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: News, opinion and everything in between. The mic costing Breakfast 619 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: with Rainthrover leading by example, news togs head. 620 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: Be So we seem to have built up ahead of 621 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: steam over recognizing Palestine. Australia looks like they'll do the 622 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: business at the United Nations next month. They join Canada 623 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: and France, possibly the UK. Phil Goff is a former 624 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: foreign minister and is with us? Phil morning? Is he 625 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: with us or not? He's gone? All right, we'll go 626 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: back to him, Phil Goff in a couple of moments. 627 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 2: We'll also look at the business of tourism in this country. 628 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 2: Let me come back to what I was talking about 629 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 2: just a couple of moments ago before the news at 630 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: seven o'clock, Kelly Echold of Westpack is calling two point 631 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 2: four percent growth this year, three point one percent in 632 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. So that's reasonable. Two point four percent 633 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: this year, three point one percent in twenty twenty six, inflation, unemployment. 634 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 2: He sees going higher before it eases, so the inflation 635 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 2: story is not over yet. Nora's unemployment so that by 636 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: point to last week needs to do some more damage 637 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: the cash rate. He sees twenty five basis points as 638 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 2: of next week. I think we all see that, But 639 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 2: he sees three percent at that's it. We're done, So 640 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: he sees one more cut. So I don't know how 641 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 2: he sees this. He sees growth that I don't see. 642 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: He sees the help from the Reserve Bank being only 643 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 2: twenty five bases points and that's it, and it's poised 644 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 2: to pick up next year better economic times on the 645 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 2: back of continued strong agricultural exports. I think we'd all 646 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: agree with that. He does, like most make economists, talk 647 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: about the lower interest rates affecting us all, but of 648 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: course what he doesn't then talk about is the rates 649 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: bill and the insurance bill, et cetera. Globally, the outlook 650 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: is not as bleak as we feared. Inflation high towards 651 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 2: the top of the one point three percent band, he 652 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: says house price is up three to four percent this year, 653 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 2: six percent next year. There's a and this is probably 654 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 2: the critical part that no one will pick up there's 655 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 2: a non trivial risk, which an interesting way of putting it, 656 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 2: there's a non trivial trivial risk that credit rating agencies 657 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: might stop giving us the benefit of the doubt, increasing 658 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: the stakes for financial management and coming years. So that's 659 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 2: that's your interest on your debt that we've incurred in 660 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Right, see if the phone 661 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: works film morning. 662 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 18: Yeah, morning Mike, Sorry about that. 663 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 2: Not a lot, no problem that all. Can't I can't 664 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: work out what the fizz is about. Say this afternoon, 665 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 2: we announced Palestine's a state, We recognize it to what end, 666 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 2: for what purpose? 667 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 18: It seems a clear and strong message from New Zealand 668 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 18: to the Israeli government that it's moves to make life 669 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 18: unbearable for Palestinians and Gaza and to set annex the 670 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 18: West Bank are unacceptable as well as being wrong and 671 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 18: illegal under international law, and really reaffirms our belief that 672 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 18: Palestine and people have a right to a homeland of 673 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 18: their own alongside Israel. It supports the two state solution, 674 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 18: which New Zealand has supported and which Israel itself agreed 675 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 18: to more than thirty years ago. But as Penny Wong 676 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 18: said in Australia yesterday. I think if you don't recognize 677 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 18: Palestine Palestine now as an entity, it probably won't exist 678 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 18: for very long given what Israel is doing in the 679 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 18: Middle East at the present time. 680 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 2: But given one hundred and fifty countries already recognized, it 681 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 2: hasn't stopped the thing, has it. 682 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 3: No. 683 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 18: No, Look, a measure that we should take, but by 684 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 18: itself doesn't resolve the appalling things that are happening in 685 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 18: Gaza to the Palestinian people. And that means that you know, 686 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 18: New Zealand should be taking doing more to back up 687 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 18: its works with action there as well. We talk the talk, 688 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 18: but we don't seem to have the guts to do 689 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 18: anything to back up what we're saying. You know, we 690 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 18: just saw a journalist for Al Jazeera killed, targeted and 691 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 18: killed deliberately by the Israelis yesterday. This on top of 692 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 18: you know, sixty thousand deaths, probably one hundred thousand plus injuries, 693 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 18: people starving. Even Trump says people are starving, and the WHO, 694 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 18: of course says no, no, it's not happening. Look, it's 695 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 18: time to take decisive action. This is unacceptable. New Zealanders 696 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 18: are outraged and the international community is outraged. 697 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 2: All right, nice to talk to you. Appreciate and apologies 698 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 2: for the phone. Field Gold former Foreign Affairs Minister, with 699 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 2: us this morning, eleven minutes past seven. New data on 700 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: just what a mess we've got with gas business. New 701 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 2: Zealand Energy Council tells us this morning nearly half of 702 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 2: the gas using businesses have reduced operations, increased prices or 703 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 2: and or cut stuff. Immediate actions needed. But what actually 704 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 2: there's the question. Tina Share as the executive director of 705 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: Business usial on Energy Council and is with us. Good morning, 706 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 2: good morning. I know the major users met with Shane 707 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 2: Jones on Friday. Did anything come out of it? I 708 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: mean sort of going, we're running out of guess we're 709 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 2: running out of gas. We are running out of gas. 710 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 2: What do we do? 711 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 3: Well? 712 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 19: It's actually on Friday we had a bit of a 713 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 19: different format we had for the first time, I guess 714 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 19: your usiforum AM held with US and OPTIMI together and 715 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 19: it was more for. 716 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 5: The smaller, medium sized users. 717 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 19: So we had some major users in the room, but 718 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 19: let's say out of the one hundred and fifty ninety 719 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 19: percent was probably more your you know, brewing companies to 720 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 19: mato gross food producers that are producing cereal and that 721 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 19: sort of production, so quite a different audience and therefore 722 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 19: probably people that are not often heard about. The gas 723 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 19: situation idea was obviously, but the. 724 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 2: Important point is it's all very well sitting around in 725 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 2: a room saying we're running out of gas. Is anything 726 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 2: that's being done about it? Can any won't do anything 727 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: about it? 728 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 19: Well, there was a little bit of that that we 729 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 19: talked about. The problem which is well known, and often 730 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 19: the smaller ones are probably hit harder because they have 731 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 19: maybe less opportunity to get to other technologies or way 732 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 19: away from it. But there is there is actually some 733 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 19: business that can convert. So you have about forty percent 734 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,439 Speaker 19: that don't really see it commercially viable in the next 735 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 19: five years, but there is also a chunk that could 736 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 19: convert if you do remove things like some of the 737 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 19: cost barriers, or if you help with infrastructure being built 738 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 19: and upgraded around. But the problem is that you just 739 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 19: mentioned the next two years. Even if they do convert 740 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 19: the next two years, something like that is not happening overnight. 741 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 2: And why and when you say can book convert. 742 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 14: To what. 743 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 19: We have for example, biogas or for example, electricity. It's 744 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 19: probably the most two common things that are always discussed 745 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 19: when you think of conversion or or more energy efficiency production. 746 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 19: So you had also eka in a room, which is 747 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 19: promoting more energy efficiency production? And when you say what 748 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 19: sort of things we are discussed in terms of solutions, 749 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 19: they thinking of, you know, going on site, inspecting our business, 750 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 19: what are the business opportunities in terms of conversion, and 751 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 19: then heading in some ideas. I mean, that wasn't I 752 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 19: think they're also slowly thinking about potentially concessional loans, so 753 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 19: actually low interest loans to help business. Maybe converting. 754 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,479 Speaker 2: Cannot be blunt and suggest I'm not suggesting, I'm saying, 755 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 2: I'm just saying, as Devil's advocate, is this not the 756 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: price of business? I mean, if you need to convert, 757 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 2: you need to convert, and that's the cost of doing business, 758 00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 2: isn't it. 759 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 19: Well, no one really saw how steep this reduction is 760 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 19: going to be in the last two years, right. I 761 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 19: feel like there was a little bit of a writing 762 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 19: on the wool with reduction over the last let's just say, 763 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 19: five to ten years in sort of like a moderate level, 764 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 19: but not as steep as we saw it. 765 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 2: Okay, all right to an appreciate Tennashire, who is with 766 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 2: the Business New Zealand Energy Council. Two stories on tourism 767 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 2: this morning, one bad, one good. Stand by fourteen past. 768 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: The Hi like asking Breakfast Fall show podcast on iHeartRadio 769 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 770 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 20: A'd be. 771 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 2: Laney Wilson after ride o'clock seventeen past seven. Perhaps not surprisingly, 772 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 2: having made this country the most expensive place to bring 773 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,879 Speaker 2: a ship in the world, Disney Cruises have announced their 774 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 2: off and will not be back. They pulled the plug 775 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 2: on the New Zealand Australia market. The twenty five to 776 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 2: twenty six season is going to be the last. Jackie 777 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 2: Lloyd's the boss of the New Zealand Cruise Association and 778 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 2: is with this Jackie, very good morning to you. Can 779 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,240 Speaker 2: we lay this on the doorstep of Australia and blame 780 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 2: them or is it all our fault? 781 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 17: It's a little bit of a mix of both, Mike, 782 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 17: it's both New Zealand and Australia. I feel this time 783 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 17: round are. 784 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 2: They as expensive as we are to come? 785 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,959 Speaker 17: And look, I'm not one hundred percent sure. We don't 786 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 17: have that full detail, but there is an indication that 787 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 17: both New Zealand and Australia within the region. The charges 788 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 17: that we are putting in are quite expensive. So while 789 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 17: New Zealand definitely is very expensive, I think Australia is 790 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 17: cooking at our heels a little bit. 791 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 2: See. I asked the Prime Minister about this the other 792 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,240 Speaker 2: day because this concerns me immeasurably given out to a situation. 793 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 2: He says they're working on it. Do you know that 794 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 2: to be true? 795 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 17: Absolutely, yes, I do. We've had some really good meetings 796 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 17: with government. We've got some very engaged ministers with Minister Upston, Hoggard, Costello, 797 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 17: Meaga and also Minister Brown and we've been working really 798 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 17: closely with them on solutions. So it is a little 799 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 17: bit of a moment to sort of turn the dial, 800 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 17: but we are getting good steps in with government. 801 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,760 Speaker 2: If you could kill the cost and the red tape, 802 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 2: would it materially make a difference, Yes. 803 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,760 Speaker 17: It would. We would still need to do some additional 804 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 17: promotion because ships are leaving, we'll need to actually go 805 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 17: back out to market them to bring them back, but 806 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 17: definitely would make a big difference. And we've had an 807 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 17: indication from the line so that if we do get 808 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 17: things right we'll be able to see you change as 809 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 17: early as twenty seven twenty eight season. We're too late 810 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 17: for twenty six twenty seven at the moment, but it 811 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 17: would definitely make a difference. 812 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: So there is hope because the numbers are dropping, they're 813 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 2: falling off a cliff. 814 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 17: Yes, yes, and it doesn't sound very good, does it. 815 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 17: But no, there is hope.

He's got no idea. 826 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,439 Speaker 2: So wrong about the interest rates. There will be two 827 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 2: cuts at least, and neutral is two point five to 828 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 2: two point seven five twenty past seven. 829 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: The Mic Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 830 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: by Newstalks b. 831 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 2: Now, if you're a business leader, you're well aware of 832 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 2: how important a successful response to a potential customer's request 833 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 2: for proposal as to your future success.

I mean, hell, 857 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 2: I thought they all would, but rather the fact that 858 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 2: it was in the minds of too many predetermined those 859 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,240 Speaker 2: who called them boot camps are in the invidious position, 860 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 2: of course, of backing the idea but not having a solution, 861 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 2: which is an awfully easy position to find yourself in labour. 862 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 2: And the Greens hate the idea, of course. It's unkind. 863 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 2: It doesn't involve sitting around talking about your feelings a lot. 864 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 2: It's not forgiving. It doesn't recognize trauma or your past. 865 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 2: That's why crime got so hopelessly out of controls. It 866 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 2: didn't the part handful of years. Their policy was to 867 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 2: have fewer people in prison a lot of judges with 868 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 2: massive discounts and just an overarching view that short of 869 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 2: some serious stuff a bitter but a smash and grab 870 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 2: or biffo were somewhere between teenage hijinks and lautish behavior 871 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 2: that a good telling off might address. Meantime, back in 872 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 2: the real world, we were completely sick and tired of 873 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 2: the garrises in the shop windows and the layabouts wandering 874 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 2: out of woolies with legs of lamb and slabs abear 875 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 2: not having paid for them. So military academies ten of 876 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 2: the worst, given a few months with rigorous oversight, hopefully 877 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: to get back out and wrapped up with support of 878 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 2: some expert guidance and fingers crossed a life changing experience. 879 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 2: Now many respects, the government were on a hiding to nothing. 880 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 2: I mean ten of the worst. What have they got 881 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 2: to lose? I mean the fact who didn't reoffend I 882 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 2: would have thought it was a little short of a miracle. 883 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 2: Those that did offend, by the way not widely reported, 884 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 2: offend it at a lesser level. And do not forget 885 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 2: the trial is ongoing, the guidance, the wrap around mentorship 886 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 2: is still in action, so there is still hope. Now, 887 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,240 Speaker 2: criticism around. The cost fair enough, but like most problems, 888 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 2: when it's been allowed to get progressively worse, whether it's 889 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 2: a car, or a paint job or a kid on 890 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 2: the scheds, the bill goes up. This most likely won't 891 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 2: be a miracle, but it might be a dent. It 892 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 2: might for some actually work. It might be better than 893 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 2: what we've done, which is little or nothing. But you 894 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 2: would need an open mind to come to that. Conclusions 895 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 2: like liquefied natural gas can be imported and specially as 896 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 2: super tank is all you need support to unload it 897 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 2: fill you right, But I mean I don't know that. 898 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 2: And they've looked at that because Simmy and Brown when 899 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 2: he was Energy Minister, was busy telling us that was 900 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 2: it a year ago last winter, busy looking at LNG. 901 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 2: The problem with it is it's hideously expensive. Just back 902 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 2: briefly when you should fix at the moment, the question 903 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 2: what's your thoughts on how to fix your mortgage? At 904 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 2: the moment, I'm telling everyone and don't this is like 905 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,319 Speaker 2: take it, don't take it, and don't blame me. I'm 906 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 2: going if you can get something with a four to 907 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 2: eight four seven four eight, I'd lock it up for 908 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 2: a couple of years. But do whatever you like, and 909 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 2: I agree with you, Glenn. Two five I still say 910 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 2: two five is neutral. Kelly's three. I don't know how 911 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 2: he sees it. I don't know how he justifies it. 912 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 2: I don't know how he gets it. Short of that 913 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 2: overarching the good times are coming. I just don't see 914 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 2: them shoots, mate, green shoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what 915 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 2: I'm saying. The green shoots are on the farm, and 916 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 2: everyone knows the farm's going great. But as for the 917 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,359 Speaker 2: rest of us, I don't see. I certainly don't see three. 918 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 2: I could be happy to be wrong at two seven five, 919 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,640 Speaker 2: and it is, but I think it's more two five anyway. 920 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 2: Here's an insight in two headlines with exactly the same report. 921 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 2: This is Westpax Economic Report. Two headlines. The Herald's headline, 922 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 2: US tarraff uncertainty clouds New Zealand's economic outlook. Their alternative 923 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 2: headline for the same story printed a different way, New 924 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 2: Zealand Economic outlooks strained by US terrorf uncertainty, very negative. 925 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 2: Radio New Zealand's headline, economy to pick up despite high inflation. 926 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 2: So same story, same facts, same detail. It's all in 927 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 2: how you see it? Isn't it now Bill that they 928 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,439 Speaker 2: were come Christitch Stadium. We're going to have a whole 929 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 2: round of Super Rugby. So that's been announced. Is this 930 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,399 Speaker 2: good news? What about all the people who miss out, 931 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 2: all the teams that aren't at their home grounds? Would 932 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 2: So where we go with us? Mark Robinson of the 933 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 2: New Zealand Rugby Union is with us directly after the News, 934 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 2: which is next. 935 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: New Zealand's home for trusted news and views, the Mike 936 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate altogether better across residential, 937 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: commercial and rural news talksad Be. 938 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,439 Speaker 2: I hesitate to even go here, but here goes why 939 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,760 Speaker 2: would Mike New Zealand support or recognize as a sovereign 940 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 2: state a place run by a terrorist organization? Linda, there 941 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 2: comes all of these things come with the criteria, and 942 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 2: the criteria is that if we recognize the Palestinian state, 943 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 2: must not have anything to do with it. Thus you 944 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 2: then lead down the rabbit hole of futility. That is 945 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 2: the fact that every time the Palestinians go and have 946 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 2: a vote, which you will note, as history tells us, 947 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 2: isn't that often. But when they do have a vote, 948 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: they vote for Hamas, which would then lead you to 949 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 2: believe that we couldn't recognize Palestine, which would then believe 950 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 2: We'll go round and round in circle. So if you've 951 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 2: been following this as I have for forty to fifty years, 952 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 2: it's the same thing over and over and over and 953 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 2: over and over again. And read the Sydney Morning Herald 954 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 2: from yesterday with the headline I featured earlier on the program, 955 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 2: Basically Hamas and let ya who are in a doom 956 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 2: spiral never to end, and the sooner we extract ourselves 957 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: from it, given we can do nothing, change nothing, the 958 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 2: better off we are because we've got bigger fish to 959 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 2: fry domestically. Twenty ten minutes away from eight. 960 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 6: I got a hid like I got a little lum by. 961 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 2: The way, Yes, Blainey Wilson coming after eight. Look forward 962 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 2: to that. A little bit of bill that they will 963 00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 2: come as Super Rugby confirms that the new Christyutch Stadium 964 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 2: will host around next year round eleven three days from 965 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 2: April twenty four to twenty six, five games under the 966 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 2: roof Mark Robinson's and New Cider Rugby CEO and as 967 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 2: with us, Mark, very good morning to you morning. 968 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 18: Mite. 969 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 2: It opens on the twentieth and you're kicking off on 970 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 2: the twenty fourth. How confident you're feeling about those numbers. 971 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 8: Well, based on all the feedback we're getting out of Christich, 972 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 8: we're really confident. And I was down there a couple 973 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 8: of months ago and got a brief look through it 974 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 8: and it's looking fantastic. It's really an amazing facility and 975 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 8: a huge credit to all the people involved in it. 976 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 8: So you know, I think it'll bring a massive amount 977 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 8: of excitement into the city and the region and obviously 978 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,359 Speaker 8: it would be great for rugby as well. 979 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 2: Are you maxing out the opportunity? It is a smallish stadium, 980 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 2: so I mean, if you did the same thing you 981 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 2: need in part, you could get more people. 982 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 8: Well, look, you know, we obviously acknowledged that christ Jiach 983 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,840 Speaker 8: has gone through incredibly challenging time and have responded amazingly 984 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 8: well to what happened after the earthquakes. So this has 985 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 8: always been on the radar for us to want to 986 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 8: give back to a region that you know, frankly loves 987 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,240 Speaker 8: it's rugby and has been a massive supporter of rugby 988 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 8: at many levels. So look, you know, we obviously considered 989 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 8: other options here, Mike, you know, in Australia in the Pacific, 990 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,120 Speaker 8: but we feel this is you know, not only a 991 00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,839 Speaker 8: great event that at a at all levels stacks up, 992 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 8: but it's awfully symbolic too, given how cross it's just 993 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 8: going now. 994 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 2: Is it a one off in that case? 995 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,760 Speaker 8: No, Look, we wouldn't roll out possibility for the future 996 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 8: at all. I don't know if if there's any detail 997 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 8: around those conversations yet, but we have a gussed through 998 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 8: the first one and see how that goes. 999 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,839 Speaker 2: How do you do the revenue for the people who 1000 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 2: don't have a home game and have to go across 1001 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,640 Speaker 2: town or down country. 1002 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 8: I'll look at the compensation arrangements for that, Mike, so 1003 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,360 Speaker 8: that that's all cleared up. Being set out in previous 1004 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 8: super rounds in Melbourne are well understood by all the 1005 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 8: participants indeed. 1006 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 2: And it's just as funny because the league I was 1007 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 2: thinking about the Gold Coast and Vegas and stuff, is 1008 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 2: this kind of a thing for sports. So you take 1009 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 2: it out and you take it to a place and 1010 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 2: make it like a I don't know, a party, your 1011 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 2: festival whatever. 1012 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,879 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it isn't it? You know, it's it's 1013 00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,760 Speaker 8: proving really popular and arrange of different sports, and certainly, 1014 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,439 Speaker 8: you know, tourism entities that are proactive in our vision 1015 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 8: for their region acknowledged that sport's an amazing platform to 1016 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 8: do that, and you know, we were hopefully you know, 1017 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,960 Speaker 8: we've gone out recently looking to what national team are 1018 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,799 Speaker 8: All Blacks and Black Foo institutions will look like over 1019 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 8: the next two to three years and hoping to see 1020 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 8: great responses to that. 1021 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 2: In the same vein good stuff. Listen, while I've got 1022 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 2: you this Mwonga thing, I count for the work. All 1023 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 2: the people are angsty about it. I can't work out 1024 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 2: what the problem is. So if you're really good, you 1025 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,239 Speaker 2: write your own ticket, don't you. Isn't that how it 1026 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 2: works in the real world. 1027 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 20: Oh well, I haven't. 1028 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 8: Really you know, after we launched the news obviously, I 1029 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 8: haven't really kept too close to what people are saying. 1030 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,560 Speaker 8: We're pleased, Richie's pleased, you know, the All Blacks are 1031 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 8: pleased and being really clear around what the arrangement is 1032 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 8: and we think it's fantastic. 1033 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 2: And yeah, people, he's playing in Japan and he won't 1034 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,840 Speaker 2: play the same and it's all different and he shouldn't 1035 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 2: go away and come back and come away, and you 1036 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 2: know it's just like, oh god, I just like, well, 1037 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 2: you know, I mean we've. 1038 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 8: Seen, we've seen the loads of cases where that's been 1039 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,800 Speaker 8: proven not to be the case. And we know Richie's 1040 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,839 Speaker 8: a really in diligent athlete and he'll work really hard 1041 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,080 Speaker 8: and get back and get into formed pretty quickly. In fact, 1042 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 8: he's an amazing form now. So you know, we're really 1043 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,280 Speaker 8: pleased with that. We'll move on, Mike. 1044 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 2: Good two from two from Argentina. 1045 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 8: Look where I'm taking off tomorrow night and I'm looking 1046 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 8: forward to getting over to see Argentinian friends. I mean, 1047 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 8: it's been interesting watching them, hasn't it. They had a 1048 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,479 Speaker 8: great game against the Lions, but we're less impressive against 1049 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 8: the English. But we know they're getting. 1050 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,239 Speaker 2: All the all their players back. 1051 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,759 Speaker 8: They'll be really tough. But yea, hopefully we get a 1052 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 8: couple of great performances. 1053 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 2: Good on, you go, well, appreciate it very much. Mike Robinson, 1054 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 2: who's the New Zealand Rugby CEO? Was there a definitive answer? 1055 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 2: Wasn't really a definitive answer? Wasn't It wasn't If I 1056 00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,960 Speaker 2: was the CEO of New Zealand Rugby, and somebody like 1057 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 2: Hosking asked me a question two from two from Argentina, 1058 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 2: I'd say something, well, of course, what else would do 1059 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 2: you expect? I mean, that's the answer you want, isn't 1060 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 2: eighteen minutes away from eight pasking construction sectors bullish? Ninety 1061 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 2: three percent remain confident about the industry's outlook over the 1062 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 2: next five years. I do worry slightly about the five 1063 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 2: year aspect of it. I mean, if you can't be 1064 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 2: confident five I mean six months, you know, maybe maybe 1065 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,439 Speaker 2: not one year interesting, but five years. If you can't 1066 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,879 Speaker 2: be confident about your country and your industry after five years, 1067 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 2: you may as well leave the country. Ken Art's high 1068 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,760 Speaker 2: annual construction confidence check. So what have we got? Medium 1069 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 2: to large construction businesses? Ninety nine percent are either actively 1070 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 2: implementing or exploring cost saving strategies, as you should be 1071 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 2: doing all the time. Anyway, I would have thought invest 1072 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 2: more in technology sixty eight percent, improving planning project management 1073 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 2: forty seven percent. Only forty seven percent are looking to 1074 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,879 Speaker 2: hire more staff. That's your problem, I guess. Ninety four 1075 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,520 Speaker 2: percent said they'd been adversely affected by tariffs. How's that possible? 1076 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 2: Terriiffs have only just arrived. I mean they only started 1077 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 2: the other day. Did you sit and have a beer 1078 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 2: on a Friday? And when I tell you what, I'll 1079 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,440 Speaker 2: be adversely affected by those tariffs. If somebody rings me 1080 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 2: up and asks me, I'm going to tell them that 1081 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 2: I think that's how that worked. Seventeen to two. 1082 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1083 00:51:59,160 --> 00:51:59,920 Speaker 1: by News Talk. 1084 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,680 Speaker 2: Said, blow me down if I'm not recommending the listener. 1085 00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 2: Darryl McLachlin writes a fantastic piece on in CEA. He 1086 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,839 Speaker 2: starts by saying, and it's moderately amusing, apart from being 1087 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 2: insightful as well. NCEEA was doomed anyway. No educational framework 1088 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 2: so dependent on internal assessment could remain viable in the 1089 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,760 Speaker 2: age of artificial intelligence. That sums it up beautifully Ministers. 1090 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 2: He talks about how good Erica Stanford is Ministers do 1091 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 2: not replace core components of the education system merely because 1092 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 2: they've failed hundreds of thousands of students, an inflected profound 1093 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,800 Speaker 2: change on the nation's long term prosperity. It's simply not done. 1094 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 2: Consider the agonizing decades of inaction about other known problems 1095 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 2: like the broken tax system, the broken energy sector, the 1096 00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 2: inertia over fixing grocery markets. Consider the thirty plus inquiries 1097 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 2: into OT during the past three decades, an organization that 1098 00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 2: remains horribly defective. The unspoken role of ministers is to 1099 00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 2: minimize media risk, follow official advice to conduct reviews, oversee 1100 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,320 Speaker 2: departmental mergers, reorganizations and rebrands to create the illusion of 1101 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 2: change while leaving everything intact. If Stanford successfully reforms the 1102 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:10,879 Speaker 2: public education system, she will join a very short list 1103 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 2: of recent ministers Cunliffe, Whoffects, Telecommunications, Joyce and Adams the 1104 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 2: Ultra fast broadband roll out who drove meaningful change in 1105 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,799 Speaker 2: their portfolios. It's easier to push back against the mandarins 1106 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 2: of the public service when confronted with their manevolence and 1107 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 2: incompetence on a daily basis. Many social scientists, and what 1108 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 2: he goes on to talk about is Kenzianism. Many social 1109 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,760 Speaker 2: scientists divide the post war political order into two distinct erarors. 1110 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,840 Speaker 2: The Kensian years low unemployment, protected economies, powerful trade unions, 1111 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 2: extensive government ownership and high rates of progressive taxation, followed 1112 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 2: by the neoliberal order of free markets, free trade, low 1113 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 2: inflation and low taxes, which is what we're living through 1114 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 2: at the moment, of course, And he eventually comes around 1115 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 2: to the Labour Party. Where is the left in this 1116 00:53:54,480 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 2: contest of ideas? In New Zealand mostly nowhere sums them 1117 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 2: up perfectly. In the US, UK and now Australia, there 1118 00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 2: is much debate in left wing circles about abundance agenda, 1119 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 2: an argument for progressive governments to solve problems of housing, transport, 1120 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,880 Speaker 2: energy and healthcare via improved state capacity and supply. And 1121 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,640 Speaker 2: to be fair at the Greens, that's what they were 1122 00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 2: talking about over the weekend at their conference, delivering more houses, infrastructure, 1123 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:26,240 Speaker 2: green energy projects rather than more welfare. So it's well well, 1124 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:30,880 Speaker 2: well worth reading because it explains very clearly the split 1125 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,600 Speaker 2: between the left and the right, and how in a 1126 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 2: way ironically, how good Stamford is and how in the 1127 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,240 Speaker 2: Labour Party is, because as he says, they're basically nowhere. 1128 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 2: If I get time today, it may not be today, 1129 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 2: but it will be tomorrow. To make you feel really depressed, 1130 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:48,320 Speaker 2: The other thing I was reading yesterday is the Australian Superannuation. Now, 1131 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 2: this is the answer to our problem, Key, we saber. 1132 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 2: In this country, the average balance is thirty three thousand dollars, right, 1133 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 2: thirty three thousand dollars? Now does that fund your retirement? 1134 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 2: Of course it doesn't. Now how would the comparison b 1135 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,240 Speaker 2: with Australia? When I give you those numbers, you will weep. 1136 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 2: But we need to return to tourism and some good news. 1137 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:08,840 Speaker 2: In a moment tender way. 1138 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:13,040 Speaker 1: The mic asking breakfast with rainthrow burn news, Tom's dead b. 1139 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 2: Well they're serving away from it, so wal Disney and 1140 00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,880 Speaker 2: their cruise ships are off. The good news around tourism 1141 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 2: can be found in Queenstown new data from Skyline. They're 1142 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 2: the Lousion gondola people. Of course, they see international louge 1143 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 2: rides up thirty two percent, gondola rides up twenty one percent. 1144 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 2: Danny Luke is the chief operating officer at Skyline and 1145 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,360 Speaker 2: is with us. Danny morning, Good morning, Mike. If you 1146 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,439 Speaker 2: see it, does the whole town see it? In other words, 1147 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:36,560 Speaker 2: as the whole race booming? 1148 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 3: It is? 1149 00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 20: Yeah, we're seeing real gross down here at the moment. 1150 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,759 Speaker 20: The winter's the winter's being vibrant, and we've got lots 1151 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,399 Speaker 20: of international vizillas coming in which is great to see. 1152 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 2: And not being pedantic about it. But how do you 1153 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 2: know a person on a gondolas international versus local? 1154 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:51,719 Speaker 20: Oh, we asked them when they arrived. 1155 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 3: Mike. 1156 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 20: We've seen a lot of Australians we know, we know 1157 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 20: they come every year for the ski season. They've had 1158 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:58,360 Speaker 20: a bit of a lack of snow this year, but 1159 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,919 Speaker 20: they're still coming in their drove, which is, as I said, 1160 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 20: amazing to see. 1161 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 2: What's your vibe in terms of it's too busy, it's 1162 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 2: too full. 1163 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,320 Speaker 20: We don't think that. What do we think there is 1164 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 20: We think there's room for growth here. I mean we're 1165 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 20: investing significantly in our infrastructure at Skyland. We know other 1166 00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 20: tourism operators are doing the same. We believe there's probably 1167 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 20: some assistance from the government required in terms of traffic congestion. 1168 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 20: But you know there is room for growth here. We 1169 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 20: would like to see growth and we're investing heavily for 1170 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:30,720 Speaker 20: the future. 1171 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 2: Good on you, And how does your business there compared 1172 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 2: with your businesses and various other parts of the world. 1173 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,040 Speaker 20: Well, Queen's downs a much larger property to what we 1174 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 20: have internationally. We have six international properties, a couple in 1175 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 20: Canada and Korea, Singapore, Malaysia. This is a large scale 1176 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 20: gondola property, but internationally we have the Louge, which is 1177 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,400 Speaker 20: our flagship attraction. So it's a lot bigger here than 1178 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 20: what we have internationally. 1179 00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 2: And do you say, but the reason I asked the question, 1180 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 2: do you see tourism generally booming all over the world 1181 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 2: or is it specific to your particular part of the world. 1182 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 3: Now we're seeing grace. 1183 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,359 Speaker 20: I've just got from Kenner actually last week, and we're 1184 00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 20: seeing record numbers in both Tromlong and Calgary where our 1185 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 20: two sites are located, than I was in Carea and 1186 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 20: Singapore last month. Both of those properties are putting records 1187 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,320 Speaker 20: on So we're seeing growth around the world tourism. Tourism 1188 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 20: is booming. 1189 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 2: Were you going to look at Wales? Were you looking 1190 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,040 Speaker 2: at a place in Wales? Or am I making that up? 1191 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:28,880 Speaker 19: No? 1192 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 20: You're not making it up. No, No, we are looking at 1193 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 20: Wales Swansea. So we've worked on that since twenty eighteen, 1194 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 20: so that's been a long long project making good progress. 1195 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 20: Now we've got a really good relationship there with the 1196 00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 20: council and local community. So we hope to have a 1197 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 20: new property in Europe and the near future. 1198 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 2: Fantastic. Go well, appreciate it very much, Danny Luke, who 1199 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 2: was a co at Skyline Enterprises. So tell me why 1200 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: in Calgary and in Asia and Queen Standy's seeing record 1201 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 2: amounts of business and this country isn't seeing record amounts 1202 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 2: of the business. What is going? I mean the ships 1203 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,560 Speaker 2: we mentioned earlier, on the cruise ships. We told you 1204 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 2: it's too expensive. We just whacked charge after charge after charge, 1205 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,120 Speaker 2: rule after rule, and they've said, don't worry about it, 1206 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 2: we won't be coming. So if you look at the numbers, 1207 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 2: and I gave them to you the other day, if 1208 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 2: you look at the cruise season, you go back. I 1209 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 2: think it's two cruise seasons. We had record numbers of 1210 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 2: cruise ships here. It was a half billion dollar industry. 1211 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,520 Speaker 2: Ever since then the rules have come in and we've 1212 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 2: just seen the ship arrivals fall off a cliff. EV's 1213 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 2: just quickly. I mentioned there's a big investment announced overnight 1214 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 2: by Ford into Louisiana. They're going to build sort of 1215 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 2: cheaper they say cheaper. Whether they're going to be able 1216 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,439 Speaker 2: to compete with the Chinese, I've got no idea. In fact, 1217 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 2: I do know they're never going to be able to 1218 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 2: compete with the Chinese anyway, So there's a price war 1219 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,600 Speaker 2: going on with Chinese EV's. At the moment, there's a 1220 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty nine EV brands in China. One 1221 00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty nine EV brands in China. Virtually none 1222 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,160 Speaker 2: of them are turning a profit, so they're going to 1223 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 2: start to fall over. Even the Chinese government is worried 1224 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,600 Speaker 2: about this. You can now buy BYD's top selling Seagull 1225 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:02,880 Speaker 2: in China for eleven thousand dollars. Eleven thousand dollars for 1226 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,440 Speaker 2: a brand new car. The moment you can buy kitchen 1227 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 2: appliances that are worth more than that, you can go 1228 00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 2: out and buy furniture that's worth more than that. You 1229 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 2: are now buying a brand new car for eleven thousand dollars. 1230 00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 2: I can tell you right here, right now doesn't end 1231 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 2: well long term in so many different ways. But nevertheless, 1232 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 2: the moment that that becomes a reality, the entire relationship 1233 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,880 Speaker 2: we have with the automobile industry is changing. Dramatic fly 1234 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 2: Lady Wilson is on her way to the country for 1235 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,920 Speaker 2: the first time ever.

They're like, they think I'm actually 1266 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 16: doing something. 1267 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:01,840 Speaker 5: Now. 1268 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 2: Now you're obviously at an NFL fan. 1269 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 16: I have to be because I'm marrying a man that 1270 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 16: played in the NFL. 1271 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 2: So you talk football a lot? 1272 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,520 Speaker 16: Yeah, we talked football a lot. I'm learning what's offense, 1273 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:18,040 Speaker 16: what's the defense? No, I love football. I love I 1274 01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 16: love the atmosphere. I love sitting around and you know, 1275 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 16: having friends over at the house and drinking some cold 1276 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,840 Speaker 16: course light and uh yeah, it's I don't know, there's 1277 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 16: an energy to it that I definitely love. 1278 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,439 Speaker 6: It feels like a community thing. 1279 01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 2: You bet.

I'm assuming you take Christmas 1284 01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 2: off and then you hit New Zealand and Australia. 1285 01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,080 Speaker 6: That's right, that's right, we're coming. I'm so excited. 1286 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 16: This is my first time to New Zealand and so 1287 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,480 Speaker 16: I've been hearing for a while. Actually years ago at 1288 01:01:55,480 --> 01:02:00,080 Speaker 16: cmafest that happens in Nashville every June, I met some 1289 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 16: people from New Zealand and it blew my mind that 1290 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 16: there were even country music fans over there. So it's 1291 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,400 Speaker 16: about time that that we make our way now. 1292 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 2: Do tell us about that, because Morgan came a couple 1293 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,840 Speaker 2: of years ago, and I mean he was really blown 1294 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 2: away and they just couldn't believe how big it had got. 1295 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 2: And Luke Holmes came last year. He said the same thing. 1296 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,680 Speaker 2: Does the wood get around the country community in places 1297 01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,600 Speaker 2: like Nashville? You know that maybe what you got going 1298 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 2: here is just a bit more global than you guys 1299 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 2: might have realized. 1300 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 16: For sure, we all taught.

It was not a nice one, I'll 1315 01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 6: tell you that, Mike. It was twenty foot long. 1316 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 16: It was a flag Staff bumper pool camper trailer caravan, 1317 01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 16: and I flooded it a few times. The floor was 1318 01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 16: starting to ride out. It had a lot of issues. 1319 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,920 Speaker 16: The propane would never last. There was nights I had 1320 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 16: to sleep in jackets and coats because my furnace couldn't 1321 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 16: keep up with. 1322 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,040 Speaker 6: The weather in Nashville. 1323 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 16: But the funny thing is, looking back on it now, 1324 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,640 Speaker 16: I just I knew that I wanted to do this 1325 01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 16: so bad. I was gonna I was willing to put 1326 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:46,680 Speaker 16: up with whatever I had to put up with to 1327 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,760 Speaker 16: be able to do it. It didn't even cross my mind 1328 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,520 Speaker 16: that it was actually hard in the moment. Looking back 1329 01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 16: on it now, I'm like, dang, I did that? 1330 01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 2: Did you haven't like any end date in mind? Because 1331 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 2: there must have been difficult periods. I mean, how many 1332 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 2: people go to it? You know, story is old as time, right, 1333 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,320 Speaker 2: how many people go to Nashville? I want to be discovered? 1334 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 2: Some do, most of them don't. Was there a thought 1335 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 2: process that maybe it was going to get a little 1336 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 2: too hot. 1337 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:11,920 Speaker 6: I knew it was gonna be hard, but. 1338 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 16: I knew I had a weird sense of peace in 1339 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 16: my heart that this is what I was supposed to do. 1340 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:22,919 Speaker 16: I knew that I loved storytelling. I knew at nine 1341 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,680 Speaker 16: years old that I was going to be in Nashville 1342 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 16: and that I was going to tell stories, And so 1343 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 16: it was important for me to like listen, to listen 1344 01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 16: to that feeling and see it through. And so I 1345 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,560 Speaker 16: didn't know it was gonna look like this, but I 1346 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 16: knew that I was going to write songs. 1347 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 6: I knew that I was going to. 1348 01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 16: Tell stories, And turns out it looks even better than 1349 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,080 Speaker 16: I could have ever imagined. 1350 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,200 Speaker 2: And that nine year old thing. So your family trip 1351 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 2: to Nashville was that the tuning point, that was the 1352 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:50,920 Speaker 2: time you thought, this is what I'm going to do. 1353 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 16: Yeah, I knew at five years old when I sang 1354 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 16: a song called Butterfly kiss Is at my kindergarten graduation 1355 01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 16: on stage, I knew that there was some about being. 1356 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 6: On stage that I really loved. 1357 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,000 Speaker 16: And I knew that like I was a bashful little 1358 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:06,760 Speaker 16: girl and I would kind of like hide in behind 1359 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:07,920 Speaker 16: my mama's. 1360 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 6: Legs at the grocery store. 1361 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,240 Speaker 16: But there was something about being on stage in that 1362 01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,720 Speaker 16: spotlight where I just kind of like came to life. 1363 01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,120 Speaker 6: So I remember that feeling. 1364 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,840 Speaker 16: But then at nine years old is when I wrote 1365 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,000 Speaker 16: my first song, and my parents took me to Nashville 1366 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,680 Speaker 16: and we went to the Grand Ole Opry, and like, 1367 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 16: I remember who was playing specifically, I remember where I 1368 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,560 Speaker 16: was sitting.

But I still just had 1417 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 16: this this feeling of just like, maybe I haven't lived 1418 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,000 Speaker 16: enough life yet to tell the kind of stories that 1419 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,120 Speaker 16: I'm supposed to tell to the kind of fans that 1420 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,280 Speaker 16: I'm going to have, and so I just tried to 1421 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 16: remember that. Now, Don't get me wrong, there were definitely 1422 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 16: times where I was beating my head against the wall, 1423 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,360 Speaker 16: being like, dang, I need a publishing so I got 1424 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 16: to pay my bills.

But I knew that it 1427 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 16: was going to be worth the wait. 1428 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,880 Speaker 2: Now tell me what happened then, because when it started 1429 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 2: to blow up, and it did blow up, how do 1430 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 2: you How have you handled that? 1431 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,440 Speaker 16: Do you think the best I could? 1432 01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,040 Speaker 6: No, I think I've actually handled it pretty good. 1433 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,479 Speaker 16: I feel like my life has completely changed, but I 1434 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 16: still feel the same for the most part. I mean, 1435 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:28,400 Speaker 16: at the end of the day, you know, when your 1436 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 16: life changes, you have to change different parts of your life. 1437 01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:36,639 Speaker 16: That means just kind of rising to whatever that is 1438 01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,280 Speaker 16: and just having to like level up in certain areas 1439 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 16: of my life. And so at the end of the day, 1440 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 16: it's it has been a whirlwind, no pun intended. But 1441 01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,880 Speaker 16: I feel like because I've had so many years under 1442 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 16: my belt. I've been in Nashville now for fourteen years. 1443 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 16: I feel like all those years prepared me for this 1444 01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:00,600 Speaker 16: and so I don't know what it would look like 1445 01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 16: if I didn't have those years under my belt. 1446 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a life listen, isn't it's I think 1447 01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 2: it's true to say that the great times are better 1448 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 2: when there have been bad times. 1449 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:09,519 Speaker 5: On the way. 1450 01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 6: It makes them that much sweeter. 1451 01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,760 Speaker 2: I reckon, Now listen to the thing to know about 1452 01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 2: Nashville took me through this.

By the way, 1469 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,559 Speaker 2: do you know what price to cock tales are at 1470 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 2: a placers? It's just marketing. 1471 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 16: I couldn't tell you literally to the ascent, but I 1472 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 16: have a great idea of what it is. Nashville is cheap, 1473 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,480 Speaker 16: but the drinks are good and they're worth every every penny, very. 1474 01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 2: Very well sold. Now there seems in country music this 1475 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 2: this camarindery. I note that I'm sure there are egos, 1476 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 2: but everyone correct me if I'm wrong, seems genuinely happy 1477 01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:23,800 Speaker 2: with everyone else's success. 1478 01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:27,400 Speaker 16: Honestly, for the most part, I feel like that's the 1479 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,639 Speaker 16: that's the vibe. It does feel like one big old family. 1480 01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:30,840 Speaker 6: You know. 1481 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,559 Speaker 16: We don't get to see each other all the time. 1482 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,240 Speaker 16: It might be when we're on road, on the road 1483 01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:39,680 Speaker 16: with each other or at award shows, but everybody's for 1484 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 16: the most part excited for each other and lifting each 1485 01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:46,200 Speaker 16: other up and encouraging each other. And you know, if 1486 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,599 Speaker 16: there is a bad egg here and there, they show 1487 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,560 Speaker 16: their colors pretty quick and we just move on and 1488 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 16: the good ones stick together and continue lifting each other up. 1489 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,640 Speaker 16: And and that's what it takes. It's a community. 1490 01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,600 Speaker 2: Now, just bring me up to speak because I'm not 1491 01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 2: sure of the date, but the Grand Old Opry. Right, so, 1492 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:05,599 Speaker 2: you were there as a nine year old.

And for Riba to break the news to me, 1504 01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:42,000 Speaker 16: I mean she is, she's my friend, and she has 1505 01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,679 Speaker 16: blazed some trails for people like me, and so it's 1506 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,240 Speaker 16: just it's wild. I've always felt like I was a 1507 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,599 Speaker 16: part of the Grand O Opry family, they just didn't 1508 01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,680 Speaker 16: know it, and so I'm glad to be officially a 1509 01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:54,439 Speaker 16: part of the family. 1510 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,719 Speaker 2: Well, we look forward to welcoming you to New Zealand, 1511 01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,120 Speaker 2: of course for the first time in the UU.

So it is February. There's 1515 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 2: something to think about for Christmas. February six and eight. 1516 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 2: So it's a Friday in a Sunday Spark in Auckland 1517 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 2: on the sixth and Sunday the eighth at Warf Bank 1518 01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,280 Speaker 2: Arena in christ j twenty two, the. 1519 01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:22,840 Speaker 1: Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate Newstalgs'd. 1520 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,400 Speaker 2: Be fifty five years ago, a vehicle was born that 1521 01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 2: would reshape the world of luxury forever. We refer, of course, 1522 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,559 Speaker 2: to the fantastic rain Drover. It wasn't just an suv. 1523 01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 2: It was an entirely new idea. Basically, capability and elegance 1524 01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,680 Speaker 2: could coexist, that a vehicle could be as at home 1525 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,439 Speaker 2: in a muddy trail as it was outside a five 1526 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,080 Speaker 2: star hotel. And from the very beginning, rain Driver Smash 1527 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,799 Speaker 2: had stood for something more than transportation. It's about presence 1528 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,720 Speaker 2: and status and quiet confidence. A name that's come to 1529 01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,600 Speaker 2: mean refinement without compromise, elegance with purpose, A brand that 1530 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,880 Speaker 2: earned its place, of course in the driveways royalty and 1531 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,799 Speaker 2: rebels and taste makers and trailblazers alike, and in this country, 1532 01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 2: I found a home early, very very popular, embraced not 1533 01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:02,240 Speaker 2: just for where it could go, but what it's said 1534 01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:04,839 Speaker 2: about the people who drove it. So rain Driver never shouted, 1535 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,120 Speaker 2: doesn't need to because true icons don't follow trends, they 1536 01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,040 Speaker 2: to find them. So over the decades it's remained unmistakable. 1537 01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:14,960 Speaker 2: For fifty five years, rain Drover has led by example, 1538 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:19,240 Speaker 2: are available at your local range Rover dealer two day 1539 01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 2: pasking speak to the Australian Superannuation so the ASFA, the 1540 01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:27,400 Speaker 2: Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, first time ever has 1541 01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,800 Speaker 2: projected that a thirty year old earning the median wage, 1542 01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,519 Speaker 2: which is seventy five thousand dollars, is now on track 1543 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,439 Speaker 2: to retire comfortably. Never been able to say that before ever, 1544 01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:38,920 Speaker 2: And so a thirty year old with the current superbalance 1545 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,759 Speaker 2: of thirty thousand dollars steady median income until the retirement 1546 01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 2: age of sixty seven would retire with about six hundred 1547 01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,559 Speaker 2: and something thousand dollars in superannuation. And that's how you 1548 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,280 Speaker 2: solve your problem. It's done through the employer and through you. 1549 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 2: It's compulsory on average in Australia, remembering our Ki Saber, 1550 01:13:53,640 --> 01:13:56,439 Speaker 2: our average balance in this country's thirty something thousand dollars. 1551 01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 2: Average thirty three year old in Australia's got ninety thousand. 1552 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,400 Speaker 2: Average forty r old's got one hundred and seventy thousand, 1553 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:03,960 Speaker 2: average fifty year old three hundred thousand, average sixty year 1554 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,000 Speaker 2: old five hundred thousand. So it goes. So the answers 1555 01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,760 Speaker 2: are there as we sort of continually angst about the 1556 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,520 Speaker 2: age and the amount and the contribution and emergency withdrawals 1557 01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,080 Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff. They seem to have 1558 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,519 Speaker 2: the answer and it's right across the taskman now News 1559 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 2: in a couple of moments. Jd Vance, who's on holiday there, 1560 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:22,120 Speaker 2: has been working a little bit with David Lammy because 1561 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,360 Speaker 2: he's staying at his Grace and Favor house, which by 1562 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:26,960 Speaker 2: the way is beautiful house. Look it up, belongs to 1563 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 2: the state. But you can hang there a few the 1564 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:32,840 Speaker 2: Foreign Minister anyway, it's all about Alaska and Saturday morning 1565 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,080 Speaker 2: our time, Rod little with the details in the heat Wave. 1566 01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:41,880 Speaker 1: Next the Breakfast show, Kiwi's trust to stay in the know, 1567 01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:46,800 Speaker 1: the mic asking Breakfast with Rainthrover leading by example, News 1568 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 1: togs headb you weird. 1569 01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,400 Speaker 2: Things out of China. Weird thing number one. A new 1570 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:54,479 Speaker 2: robot shop opened over the weekend in Beijing, and they 1571 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:58,599 Speaker 2: sell mechanical butlers that look like Elbert Einstein, among other things. 1572 01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:01,679 Speaker 2: It's called robot More. They've got one hundred types of robots. 1573 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,599 Speaker 2: They also once you bought your robot, they offer sales, 1574 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,640 Speaker 2: spare parts, and maintenance. I don't know what sort of 1575 01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 2: maintenance a robot needs, but you'll be able to interact 1576 01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,799 Speaker 2: with a big range of robots and dogs and chess players. 1577 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 2: The dogs and chess players are also robots. It's next 1578 01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 2: to a themed restaurant, robot Mall, and you go into 1579 01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,439 Speaker 2: the restaurant and you are served by robots, and the 1580 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:27,479 Speaker 2: food is cooked by robots. And the government is planning 1581 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:31,120 Speaker 2: a trillion one fund for AI and robot startups. Would 1582 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 2: you buy an Albert Einstein robot? But the funny thing 1583 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:37,559 Speaker 2: about that is that's not the weirdest thing from China more. 1584 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:39,360 Speaker 2: Shortly twenty three to nine. 1585 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 14: International correspondence with ends and eye Insurance Peace of mind 1586 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 14: for New Zealand business period. 1587 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 2: We must to use the UK go rod little. 1588 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:49,960 Speaker 5: Very good morning to you mate, mate. 1589 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 2: So I'm watching them. I mean, first of all, your 1590 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:54,160 Speaker 2: security for JD. Fancy's on holiday, I mean, what a 1591 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,360 Speaker 2: mess that is. But then I'm watching them fishing and 1592 01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,920 Speaker 2: is a Lammy's grace and favor which looks like a 1593 01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,160 Speaker 2: very nice house. And they seem to get on famously 1594 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:06,560 Speaker 2: despite the fact they come from completely different political perspective. 1595 01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,599 Speaker 2: What's the magic? What's gelling there? 1596 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:13,559 Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, I think is the answer to that. They 1597 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:17,800 Speaker 3: both have a deep and abiding Christian faith. I am 1598 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,000 Speaker 3: not it has to be set David Lammy's greatest fan. 1599 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 3: He has set some remarkably stupid things over the years, 1600 01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,719 Speaker 3: but it has to be said that in his role 1601 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,800 Speaker 3: as Foreign Secretary, he has handled himself with a great 1602 01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:38,840 Speaker 3: deal of tact and diplomacy, and he's managed to get 1603 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 3: shade events on side. They are good friends, you know, 1604 01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 3: there's no doubting about it. They're they're achieving, fishing together 1605 01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:52,600 Speaker 3: and attending Mass together, which is I think that's the 1606 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,640 Speaker 3: bond which is between them. Both come from poor backgrounds 1607 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,440 Speaker 3: and both felt like outsiders for a long while in politics, 1608 01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,640 Speaker 3: and I think that's also helped. And it has to 1609 01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,680 Speaker 3: be said, you know, the Trump Advance regime, though it 1610 01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,960 Speaker 3: is flaky on foreign issues. Sometimes you can't judge where 1611 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 3: it's going to go. It's quite pro UK. You know, 1612 01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 3: they do like Trump, dwells in the UK, and it 1613 01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:24,400 Speaker 3: seems that JD. Vance's family, a Scottish and Irish I think, 1614 01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,840 Speaker 3: also rather likes the UK. 1615 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 2: How have they handled the rather difficult part, which is 1616 01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,080 Speaker 2: when Trump and Potent meet in Russia and they perhaps 1617 01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:38,479 Speaker 2: decide something that doesn't involve really Ukraine or Europe. How 1618 01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:39,559 Speaker 2: does Lammy handle that? 1619 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 3: I think that that Lammie will be making the point 1620 01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,559 Speaker 3: that if you allow Peutin to think that he has won, 1621 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,839 Speaker 3: then Ukraine won't be the last, and he will continue 1622 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:57,240 Speaker 3: to make that diplomatically. But I think in the minds 1623 01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:00,760 Speaker 3: of Sekir Starma and the minds of David Lammy, I 1624 01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,280 Speaker 3: think they know that whatever they sect doesn't make the 1625 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:07,760 Speaker 3: slightest difference to what Trump and Trump, or indeed Peter 1626 01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:13,439 Speaker 3: will do when they meet on Friday. It's it's just 1627 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,040 Speaker 3: as with the Middle East, the UK has become a 1628 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 3: sort of irrelevance. 1629 01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:21,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting scumbag shoplifters. I wouldn't have thought that was 1630 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,400 Speaker 2: necessary for the police to pop around and have a wood. 1631 01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:27,840 Speaker 3: It just it's so enraged me. I spoke to the shopkeeper. 1632 01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,240 Speaker 3: This is a shopkeeper in Wrexham. You put up a 1633 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 3: sign in his shop saying because of scumbag shopkeepers, I've 1634 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,559 Speaker 3: had to lock up the cabinets, so just ask for 1635 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:40,880 Speaker 3: assistance opening them. And the police cap records said you 1636 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:46,959 Speaker 3: may have offended someone offended who a shoplift. The irony, 1637 01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:51,800 Speaker 3: of course, of course, being that he had been shoplifted 1638 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 3: five times in the last year and on only one 1639 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,800 Speaker 3: occasion did the police bother to turn up. 1640 01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 2: It's done, really, it's speaking of the police, that thing. 1641 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 2: I've the weekend with the five hundred and twenty one arrests. 1642 01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,519 Speaker 2: Does that play well for the government that they said 1643 01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:06,519 Speaker 2: this group's illegal if you support them, are going to 1644 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,120 Speaker 2: do something about it. So they all turn out in 1645 01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 2: Parliament Square and they round a few of them up. 1646 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:10,639 Speaker 2: Does that play well? 1647 01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 3: It plays well with a certain COULTERI the pro Israel 1648 01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:21,639 Speaker 3: lobby and possibly the country at large, which is pretty 1649 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 3: sick of these Palestinian demos. It doesn't play very well 1650 01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 3: with the left of his own party, nor with the 1651 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:32,719 Speaker 3: free speech brigade, which I suppose I'm one really that 1652 01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,240 Speaker 3: you know, you don't knock people up for sale stuff. No, 1653 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:40,719 Speaker 3: Palasco in Action. Of course, Palestinian Action has been called 1654 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,440 Speaker 3: a terrorist group because of what worked criminal and terroristic 1655 01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 3: activities at British air bases. So there is that we 1656 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 3: ought to mention that. 1657 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,840 Speaker 2: I know the Middle East is important, and Trump and 1658 01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:55,400 Speaker 2: Putin is important, but what's really important Rod, as you 1659 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 2: would well understand as a seasoned player in this particular field, 1660 01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:01,000 Speaker 2: is of course the weather. And I'm reading today that 1661 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,640 Speaker 2: England and England and Wales will have the best of 1662 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,160 Speaker 2: the sunshine. Are you having the best of the sunshine. 1663 01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:13,320 Speaker 3: It's absolutely cleaning down here. Maybe it's quite warm, but 1664 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 3: I'm due to go to London in it in a 1665 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,080 Speaker 3: couple of days time, and I'm not looking forward to 1666 01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:19,920 Speaker 3: It's going to be thirty five degrees, packed with people, 1667 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:23,320 Speaker 3: sticky and vile, and already the warnings are going out 1668 01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:26,160 Speaker 3: don't go out, and oh you'll drop dead and all 1669 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:29,600 Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. We're just not cut out for 1670 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 3: this weather, mate. 1671 01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:30,760 Speaker 12: No. 1672 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,360 Speaker 2: And when you say this weather, last time we were 1673 01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,559 Speaker 2: talking about a week ago, it was storm Floris. Of course, 1674 01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:38,920 Speaker 2: So between Flori's between the heat and this allegedly is 1675 01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 2: your fourth heat wave. Is it weird or is it not? 1676 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,200 Speaker 3: I think I don't think there's much doubt that it's 1677 01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:48,840 Speaker 3: a lot hotter than I remember in my youth, a 1678 01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,320 Speaker 3: lot hotter. And I remember the wonderful summer of nineteen 1679 01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:55,759 Speaker 3: seventy six where you know, we had unbroken hot weather 1680 01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:00,600 Speaker 3: and no rain whatsoever from May until September, and a 1681 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,200 Speaker 3: national crisis was called. The whe all loved it. But 1682 01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,760 Speaker 3: even then the temperatures up here in the North of 1683 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,400 Speaker 3: England weren't getting really above twenty four to twenty five. 1684 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,160 Speaker 3: Now thirty four thirty five is quite regular for London 1685 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,040 Speaker 3: and thirty for roundabout here. 1686 01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,360 Speaker 2: All right, man, go well and we'll catch up with 1687 01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:18,720 Speaker 2: you maybe from London on Thursday, Rod Little. It is 1688 01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:19,639 Speaker 2: seventeen two. 1689 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast Fall Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 1690 01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:26,160 Speaker 1: by News Talks at. 1691 01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:29,600 Speaker 2: B fourteen to nine. I should tell you that on 1692 01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,880 Speaker 2: Russian Aarrah Ali, who you might have heard of, but 1693 01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,400 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, because she was the homelessness Minister in Britain. 1694 01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,240 Speaker 2: She unfortunately is no longer the homelessness Minister because she 1695 01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,760 Speaker 2: was accused of hypocrisy over the way she handled rent 1696 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:46,680 Speaker 2: increases on how she owns in East London, so they 1697 01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,160 Speaker 2: got a bit of angsty the various homelessness charities and 1698 01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:53,800 Speaker 2: opposition politicians she goes at all times. I followed all 1699 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 2: relevant legal requirements, but that remaining in the role would 1700 01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:59,000 Speaker 2: be a distraction from the ambitious work of this government. 1701 01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,040 Speaker 2: She ended her ten it fixed term contract in order 1702 01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,320 Speaker 2: to sell up, which you're allowed to do. Of course, 1703 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 2: what you're not allowed to do is in your tenants 1704 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,320 Speaker 2: fixed term contract saying you're going to sell up, and 1705 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,080 Speaker 2: you don't, and you then relist the house for rent 1706 01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:17,080 Speaker 2: at a higher price within six months, and made even 1707 01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 2: worse by the fact you of the Homelessness Minister back 1708 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 2: to China. So if you thought buying an Elberdelle Einstein 1709 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:24,960 Speaker 2: robot was slightly unusual, here's the new trend. Do you reckon? 1710 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:26,479 Speaker 2: This is a trend that would ever take off in 1711 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,639 Speaker 2: New Zealand. So they got unemployment issues in that particular 1712 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 2: part of the world, particularly among the young and the 1713 01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,960 Speaker 2: young or youth employment rate. Unemployment rates more than fourteen percent, 1714 01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:44,040 Speaker 2: so some adults would rather pay to go into an 1715 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,679 Speaker 2: office than just be stuck at home. Hence my question, 1716 01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 2: do you think that would ever happen in New Zealand? 1717 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:50,360 Speaker 2: Do you know many New Zealand unemployed people who think, 1718 01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:51,800 Speaker 2: I know, I'll give you some money and I'll go 1719 01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,720 Speaker 2: into the office. So this guy I'm reading about, he 1720 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,640 Speaker 2: had a food business which fell over last year. So 1721 01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 2: in April this year he started to pay seven dollars 1722 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:06,080 Speaker 2: a day to go into a mock up office run 1723 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 2: by a business called Pretend to Work Company. 1724 01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,280 Speaker 18: So I feel like I've been to a few of those, but. 1725 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 2: They don't call themselves Pretend to Work company. So he 1726 01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:22,760 Speaker 2: goes in every day and he joins his colleagues who 1727 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 2: are also paying seven bucks a day at the Pretend 1728 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 2: to Work company, and they sit around and you see 1729 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:32,520 Speaker 2: these businesses in all over China at the moment, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, Sheengdu, Shanxing. 1730 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:36,839 Speaker 2: More often they look like fully functioning office officers. They've 1731 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,320 Speaker 2: got computers, they've got internet access, they've got meeting rooms, 1732 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:44,080 Speaker 2: they've got tea rooms. Occasionally you get some snacks and 1733 01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,160 Speaker 2: some drinks involved, but apart from that, you just go 1734 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 2: into the office each day to the pretend to work. 1735 01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:51,519 Speaker 2: Presumably you can have meetings of course you can. You 1736 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:53,400 Speaker 2: can have a pretend meeting. That's a work company. 1737 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:53,840 Speaker 9: Sounds great. 1738 01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:55,439 Speaker 2: Who doesn't want to have a meeting, Who doesn't want 1739 01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:56,600 Speaker 2: to have a meeting, and who doesn't want to go 1740 01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:57,920 Speaker 2: to work and pretend to go to work and to 1741 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 2: pay the person at the place that you're going to 1742 01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:03,719 Speaker 2: while you remain unemployed. So which is it? Which is weird? 1743 01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,760 Speaker 2: At the robot or pretending to go to work? 1744 01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:10,560 Speaker 1: Ten to night the mic hosting breakfast with Veda Retirement 1745 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,480 Speaker 1: Communities News Togsdad. 1746 01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:13,640 Speaker 2: B Yeah, if you go, Mike, there are plenty of 1747 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 2: people in the workforce in New Zealand who actually go 1748 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,720 Speaker 2: to work and produce nothing, Mike. And of course we 1749 01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,280 Speaker 2: have those who go to the office to pretend to 1750 01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:23,719 Speaker 2: work and get paid pretend to work sounds like every 1751 01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:24,599 Speaker 2: council in New Zealand. 1752 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:24,840 Speaker 16: Ever. 1753 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:26,960 Speaker 2: By the way, just to round out the Australia thing, 1754 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,040 Speaker 2: I told you about the superannuation a couple of moments ago. 1755 01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:30,720 Speaker 2: Do you know they've got the same problems that we do. 1756 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:34,120 Speaker 2: As a poll out yesterday that despite all and this 1757 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,920 Speaker 2: is the attitude thing, despite all the stuff around you, 1758 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,040 Speaker 2: interest rates are coming down inflations, the lowest it has 1759 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 2: been in years. Blah blah blah. Everyone in Australia out 1760 01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:43,920 Speaker 2: of the pole yesterday still says cost of living is 1761 01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,120 Speaker 2: the number one worry forty one percent. Keeping the cost 1762 01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,960 Speaker 2: of living low housing and rental accessibility is second at 1763 01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:52,960 Speaker 2: ten percent. So next to no one worries about that. 1764 01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 2: Everyone's worried about the cost of living and everything's gone up. 1765 01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,479 Speaker 2: See it's not as it's not the green grass you 1766 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 2: think it is. The CPI. The inflo rate rose nineteen 1767 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:04,120 Speaker 2: percent over the last four years right in Australia, nineteen percent, 1768 01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:08,160 Speaker 2: our wages fourteen percent. So they've gone backwards materially in 1769 01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,799 Speaker 2: the last four years. All the stuff that we worry about, 1770 01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,519 Speaker 2: they've got exactly the same problem across their eggs up 1771 01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 2: fifty percent, oils and fats up fifty percent, bred up 1772 01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:19,759 Speaker 2: thirty percent, diry up twenty five percent, insurance up forty percent, 1773 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,479 Speaker 2: household fuels up thirty eight percent, automotive fuels up twenty 1774 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:25,639 Speaker 2: four percent. And here's the insight, and this is why 1775 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,639 Speaker 2: it's psychological. This is an economist. Consumers will basically look 1776 01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 2: at a few key anchor prices, things like utility bills, 1777 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 2: petrol prices, groceries or rent and those things leave an 1778 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,120 Speaker 2: outsized impression on them. And that's why everyone worries about 1779 01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,720 Speaker 2: the cost of living. It means one it's real, but 1780 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 2: two you've focused in You've got your rates bill the 1781 01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,280 Speaker 2: other day and you're thinking that's a disaster, that's a 1782 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:51,000 Speaker 2: massive increase. I can't afford it. It's dreadful, and you're 1783 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,240 Speaker 2: focus in on that, or your powerbil or your butter price, 1784 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,400 Speaker 2: that obsession we had with butter a couple of weeks ago. 1785 01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,920 Speaker 2: If you're under forty, they say, you probably haven't seen 1786 01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,320 Speaker 2: anything like this there where you don't understand it. Therefore 1787 01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 2: it must be dreadful. Half the respondents in another survey, 1788 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,160 Speaker 2: this is the NAB, the nab, the big Bank. They've 1789 01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,720 Speaker 2: denied themselves micro treats. We're talking about this earlier on 1790 01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:14,040 Speaker 2: in the program. You know, the conscientious saber slash spender. 1791 01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 2: You deny yourself micro treats. Four and ten had delayed 1792 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,599 Speaker 2: or made more modest holiday plans, and one and three 1793 01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 2: had delayed a medical appointments. So everything that we're sort 1794 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:26,439 Speaker 2: of anxsting about in the country at the moment is 1795 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 2: going on across there, And that's before you get to 1796 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,120 Speaker 2: the fact that the medium price in a place like 1797 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,320 Speaker 2: Auckland at the moment is eight hundred and something thousand 1798 01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:37,160 Speaker 2: dollars for a house in Australia's one point sevens twice 1799 01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:39,240 Speaker 2: the price. So you go, oh, yeah, but I'm going 1800 01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:41,120 Speaker 2: to be a nurse and I earned thirty percent more. Well, 1801 01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,960 Speaker 2: you don't earn twice as much to pay for your house. 1802 01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 2: So it's interesting, isn't it. Five minutes away from nine. 1803 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:51,880 Speaker 12: Trending now with Chemist ware House Great Savings every day. 1804 01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:01,280 Speaker 2: It's AFL Grand Final announcement time this morning and one 1805 01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 2: of the things they do at the AFL Grand Final 1806 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:04,960 Speaker 2: is they have a half time show and they do 1807 01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:09,080 Speaker 2: tend to get some reasonably big names. And the name 1808 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,759 Speaker 2: they've announced this morning for the halftime show is Snoop 1809 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,840 Speaker 2: Doll and seems to turn up literally everywhere. I saw 1810 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 2: him on the back of the bus yesterday was it 1811 01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:23,000 Speaker 2: the day before, next to Martha Stewart and they were 1812 01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:27,040 Speaker 2: advertising was it big lighters? They're advertising? How the hell 1813 01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:30,120 Speaker 2: does any how you strike a deal when you're one 1814 01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,360 Speaker 2: hundred and twelve like Martha Stewart and you're off your 1815 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,320 Speaker 2: head like Snoop Dolly, let's do a deal with the 1816 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:36,920 Speaker 2: big lighters and you end up on the back of 1817 01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:40,400 Speaker 2: a bus and music and advertising book lighters. Anyway, part 1818 01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:42,679 Speaker 2: of the problem with the halftime shows at the AFL 1819 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 2: is they tend to be fairly low ren and not 1820 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 2: that good. It is claimed, and have a listen to 1821 01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,280 Speaker 2: this and see whether you agree, is claim that in 1822 01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:53,519 Speaker 2: twenty eleven when Meat Loafs did it, this is the 1823 01:27:53,560 --> 01:28:11,519 Speaker 2: worst AFL halftime show of all time. Yeah, you're thinking that, 1824 01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:14,880 Speaker 2: like we are, that's not bad. It's not great, but 1825 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:18,320 Speaker 2: it's not bad. But here's the problem. If you take 1826 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,000 Speaker 2: the things that you're listening to now that are actually good, 1827 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:22,720 Speaker 2: which is the band and the backing singers and the 1828 01:28:22,840 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 2: eve old meat by himself, here's what you get. He's 1829 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,160 Speaker 2: he's at the stage of his career at that point 1830 01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,280 Speaker 2: clearly where it didn't matter and he had never heard 1831 01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:54,599 Speaker 2: of Australia and there was money in the band council. 1832 01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:55,479 Speaker 10: What did he get? 1833 01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:58,080 Speaker 2: I do remember I was telling you I reckon twenty eleven. 1834 01:28:58,080 --> 01:28:59,720 Speaker 2: It's probably when he came and saw money because of 1835 01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,360 Speaker 2: wed him on the show twenty eleven. What was there? 1836 01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,040 Speaker 2: Fourteen fifteen years ago. It's about righting. It roughly feels 1837 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 2: about right to me. And he came and he's on 1838 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:11,920 Speaker 2: a walking stick, but he was full of the joys 1839 01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 2: of life. He was very nine. Was it twenty ten? Hey? 1840 01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:16,599 Speaker 2: That wasn't there? 1841 01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:17,440 Speaker 5: Was I? 1842 01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:17,679 Speaker 4: Hey? 1843 01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:22,120 Speaker 2: Within a year, it's those my guard railty statesmen. I 1844 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:24,000 Speaker 2: do the Needi guars, Liza within a year. It's about 1845 01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:28,000 Speaker 2: right anyway. He's likable guy. Old met plenty of me 1846 01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,400 Speaker 2: for the day. Surely you can't handle anymore? Can you can? 1847 01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:30,519 Speaker 4: You? 1848 01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:36,360 Speaker 2: Can you back tomorrow?
