Here we go 12 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: now Village Road Show, who are no small player in 13 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: the movie industry. Of course, this week filed for chapter eleven. 14 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: They've been having some legal troubles or issues with another 15 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: major studio. But they also cited along with that their 16 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: other overriding problem, the actors strike. You remember that it 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: was more than actors, of course, it was the whole 18 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: of the industry. Hollywood came to a great, big grinding 19 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: stop for months as they argued over pain conditions. Some 20 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: of the pain conditions were based around what was seen 21 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: at the time as this frightening new development called AI 22 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: that was potentially going to slash their work and income. 23 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: They wanted protections. It was eventually settled, but and here's 24 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: the really big question, at what cost. Hollywood has never 25 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: come back. The movie industry has never really been the 26 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: same again, irony of ironies. A lot of people lost 27 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: their jobs, not because of AI, but because they never 28 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: recovered from the shuttering as a result of the strike. 29 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: So given fewer movies were made, less income was generated, 30 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: and so the vicious cycle began until someone like Village 31 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: Road Show could no longer go on, so they folded 32 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: for chapter eleven. Chapter eleven. If you don't know, by 33 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 2: the way, it's not the end. It can be the end, 34 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: But initially it's about some protection to get some affairs 35 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: in order and potentially get a rescuer. The lesson here 36 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: is this unionism, which is what this is. I mean, Hollywood, 37 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: in the film and television industry is heavily unionized. As 38 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: one of those ideas that once upon a time might 39 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 2: have made a modicum of sense, But as the world 40 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: and the workplace has changed and got increasingly sophisticated now 41 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: presents as an old idea that basically does more harm 42 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: than good. So they go on strike. The multimillionaire actors, 43 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: of course backed them. Food parcels are handed out, they 44 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: pound the picket line. They eventually cut a deal. Is 45 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: that good? Well not if you then go and lose 46 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: your job? Not of the studio then goes and files 47 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: for chapter eleven. What's the point of that? What would 48 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: you rather have more money for fewer people or more people? 49 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: Because that's what unidism does. So was the strike a 50 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: win or a path to joblessness and business ruin? And 51 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: what do you reckon? Village Road Show would. 52 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: Say News of the World in ninety seconds. 53 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: On the good day for the Trumpets in Washington as 54 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: they trying to find the way out of a group 55 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: chat gate. 56 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: Did you participate in the group chat with Secutuary of 57 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: Defense and other Trump senior officials discussing the m and 58 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: war plans? 59 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: Senator I don't want to get into this, man, Mam. 60 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 5: Were you on? 61 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 6: You're not going to be willing to conversation, so you're 62 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 6: not are you denying? 63 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: You were not TG on this group chat?

And had they 69 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 7: done that, we would be looking at dead pilots right now. 70 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 7: That's how serious what this administration did. 71 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: Is The committee hearing, by the way, also had a 72 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: few Palestinian activists tune up. 73 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 6: Speak up now if you want to be removed as well. 74 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 6: Whoever's saying that, if anyone else would like to join them, 75 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 6: speak now, please that we don't have any more disruptions. 76 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: While we're in the states of the deportation scrap between 77 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: the administration and the court's roles on former ag Bill 78 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: bar Waden. 79 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 8: The Constitution gives the President the power to make the 80 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 8: judgments about how we deal with foreign nationals when we 81 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 8: are animated by national security concerns. It's his call, not 82 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 8: a district court judge's call. 83 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: As regards the war, we've got to break through of 84 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: thoughts as both Russians and the Ukrainians agree to the 85 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: Black Sea cease fire. Although agreement and doing a two 86 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: different things. 87 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 9: Russia has a history of never ever being able to 88 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 9: keep any international agreement, so therefore I don't really have 89 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 9: one hundred percent hope from Maddie are going to do 90 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 9: this this time in Greenland. 91 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: W Barns and her mate's pending visitors still racking up 92 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: the Europeans. 93 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 10: Guests coming there are in a way disturbing, but of 94 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 10: course green and Denmark to the Kingdom is a free 95 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 10: country and we received the guest. 96 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 11: But we found this message quad in Predad. 97 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: Finally, bad news for the UFO was a bit of 98 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: excited from the tin hatters when they saw a large 99 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: glowing spiral that lit up the skies in Britain earlier 100 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 2: on this week. Turns out it was a SpaceX rocket. 101 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: It's frozen exhaust bloom spitting away in the atmosphere and 102 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: reflecting slight. So maybe next time that's news of the 103 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 2: world in ninety year. Donald Trump, he's backed Waltz, says 104 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 2: Waltz is a good man. Leek was a bit of 105 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: a glitch. Gabbard, meantime, says there was no classified material 106 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: shared in the signal chat, so they're working pretty hard 107 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: to try and host that one down. Richard Arnold with 108 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: us in about half an hour's time. Twelve past six. 109 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio call 110 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: it by News. 111 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: Talksp government has been a viscerated across the Tasman rightly 112 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 2: by the headlines this morning of the budget. What a 113 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: laugh that was, But I'll tell you more about it later. 114 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: Labor didn't expect to deliver this budget, says the headline. 115 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: That's why they had no good material left. Headline number 116 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: two surprise top tax cutter is enough for a cup 117 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: of coffee in a brazen pitch of the votes. Headline 118 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: number three. This government is timid, uninspired and uninspiring. This 119 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: budget fits it perfectly. Fifteen Class six. Although Laura Charmer's, 120 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: the wife of the Treasure, had turned up in appropriate 121 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 2: Leeds priced clothing last year, she turned up and some 122 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: patty for a couple of thousand dollars and that was 123 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: deemed unacceptable. So this year she splashed out three hundred 124 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: and forty on a nice Mossman piece. Where was I 125 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 2: Andrew kellaher Joe my Wealth, Good morning morning, Mike Jobs. 126 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: Talk to me. 127 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 12: Yeah, I wanted to talk about the state of play 128 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 12: of the local employment markets, because we had yesterday, we 129 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 12: had a couple of lenses into that part of the economy. 130 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 12: So firstly, the B and Z Seek Employment Report that's 131 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 12: released monthly, so it's a high frequency piece of data, 132 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 12: looks at job ads and demand for staff or job 133 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 12: ads declined one point eight percent in February, and that 134 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 12: follows a bit of a lift in January. And Mike, 135 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 12: I think this is really reflecting what we're seeing in 136 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 12: other data series as well that have displayed what we're 137 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 12: referring to at the moment is a choppy pattern. But 138 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 12: if you sort of take the if you take it 139 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 12: sort of a slightly bigger picture of view. Compared to 140 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 12: a year ago, the data series is reporting about seventeen 141 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 12: percent fewer job ads. So fewer job ads means fewer 142 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 12: companies are looking for staff, which equals a weaker employment market. 143 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 12: But let's find the silver lining. The pace of decline 144 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 12: is slowing. That's also consistent with other data series, and 145 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 12: I think it's suggesting that the local economy is stabilizing. 146 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 12: It's potentially turning, but it's not exactly frothy. 147 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 7: Now. 148 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 12: The actual numbers are sort of small here, but not 149 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 12: West Coast is experiencing good employment growth. 150 00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,679 Speaker 2: It's on top of the ladder. 151 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 12: My interest is peaked by the month and month change 152 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 12: that we're also seeing in Canterbury and Southland. They sort 153 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 12: of run us up in terms of growth, and we've 154 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 12: talked regularly about the feel being better in the South 155 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 12: Island and also arguably places where the strong rural economy 156 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 12: may have an economy maybe having a more pronounced impact. 157 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 12: Mining is the key driver of West Coast employment growth. 158 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 12: I mean authors of the report, they refer to the 159 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 12: areas of the economy where the PM has said he 160 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 12: expects to which he expects to support growth. Mining resources 161 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 12: is one of those, so job ads in that sector 162 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 12: are well ahead of last year. A couple of others 163 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 12: hospitality and tourism. While hospital and touring job ads are 164 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 12: broadly unchanged, the other one he referred to as science 165 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 12: and technology, and there is very little. 166 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: Going on there. 167 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 12: In fact, job ads are eighteen and a half percent 168 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 12: lower than last year. 169 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: Okay, So then we come to the confidence, which doesn't 170 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: worry me because this is tail and stuff, isn't it. 171 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: So if the economy is coming right, jobs will come 172 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: right eventually as well. The labor market. The last thing 173 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: to turn. 174 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 12: But employment's confidence actually at the moment doesn't It doesn't 175 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 12: look very good at least that's the takeaway from the 176 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 12: latest west Pac mcdermald Miller employment confidence report for the 177 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 12: March quarter, because employment confidence has fallen three point three 178 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 12: points from the December quarter, so it went ninety one 179 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 12: point six to eighty eight point three. Now I get 180 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 12: what you're saying. I hear that, But the problem we've 181 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 12: got here is just the context, because eighty eight point 182 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 12: three is pretty much the same place as we were 183 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 12: when we're at the depth of despair after the COVID shot. 184 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 12: So yes, it is the last thing to turn, but 185 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 12: it's coming from a pretty low base. So we've given 186 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 12: up the games that. 187 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: We saw in the December quarter. 188 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 12: The current Employment Conditions index was actually even weaker, eight 189 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 12: to two point eight down to seventy five point three, 190 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 12: so falling seven and a half points. What this is 191 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 12: telling us, Mike, is that employment conditions are still pretty subdued. 192 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 12: I mean, we're pretty sure that the economic milieu is improving, 193 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 12: but it's not a seismic shift. On Friday, we get 194 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 12: monthly employed, the monthly employment indicator, that's the filled job 195 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 12: so actual real data from IRD that should also show 196 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 12: that the number of filled jobs is stabilizing. But right now, Mike, 197 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 12: we aren't getting unequivocal signs that the improved business confidence 198 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 12: is translating into improved job opportunities. Not yet anyway. 199 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 13: As with the. 200 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 12: Other report, I talked about this big regional variation alpens 201 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 12: a bit grim and that has a clear effect on 202 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 12: a national average most regions, the same jobs are hard 203 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 12: to find. But unsurprisingly, Mike, if you're looking at earnings growth, 204 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 12: where we were seeing earnings growth in those regions that have 205 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 12: got you know, that are farming intensive, so they are 206 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 12: the places to be at the moment. 207 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: I need some numbers. 208 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 12: Yeah, not much going on. Actually, the Dow Jones is 209 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 12: down sort of twenty eight points, which is point zero 210 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 12: seventy percent, so i'd call that flat forty two thousand, 211 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 12: five hundred and fifty five. The S and P five 212 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 12: hundreds up seven or eight points. Again, only a small 213 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 12: move five seven seven five, but then a's de can 214 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 12: a little bit bitter.

Nevertheless, it did happen. Richard 335 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: Arnold with more on NAT shortly meantime, back here, we've 336 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: got gangs. The gangs are back in Gusban. Last week 337 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 2: there were eight firearm and assault related incidents. A gang 338 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: conflict warrant has been issued. Now the Deputy Commissioner Tonya 339 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: Kurras with us on this time. Your morning to you, 340 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: good morning, how are you mane very well? Thank you. 341 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 13: What are the. 342 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: Specifics of a gang conflict warrant? What happens when you 343 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: get one of those. 344 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 3: A range of powers for us, but it's quite disruptive, 345 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 3: and basically what we aimed for is destruction and suppression 346 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: of activity. That gives us the ability to stop and 347 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 3: search gang members and vehicles at any time. Quite invasive 348 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: because it's our choice and in our time. On this 349 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: particular warrant, we've got ability to go into vehicles, which 350 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 3: we've found works quite well, seem to signal really early 351 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 3: two gang members and our community doesn't matter what you're doing, 352 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 3: We're going to intervene. We can on occasion get ability 353 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 3: to go into people's homes, which also that's quite invasive 354 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: as well. On this particular occasion, we're dealing with vehicles 355 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: for the moment. Has made a bit of a difference. 356 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: We've seen We've had invoked the search power five times 357 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 3: in the last twenty four hours. Sees the pure offensive weapons, 358 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: that's things like you know, Batten's knives, that type of stuff, 359 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: and had one arrest for someone who was wearing for 360 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 3: the game patchman stuff, so somebody wearing some gang of galia. 361 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: So this stuff you've done so far, is it enough 362 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: or you're going to need to do more? 363 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 15: Well. 364 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 3: Investigations ongoing because ultimately, you know, we want somebody locked up, 365 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: We want somebody dealt with for the behavior itself. The 366 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 3: other thing that we're really thoughtful about is, you know, 367 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 3: the gang the gun environment. You know, actually where did 368 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 3: those firearms come from? You know, how did they get 369 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 3: You know, there's a sense to be a continuous supply 370 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 3: that you know, an interestingly for me is like looking 371 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 3: at Gisbon. You know, this is an ant goes you know, 372 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 3: month on months. We have this type of behavior between gangs. 373 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 3: An ability to resolve is you know that you use 374 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 3: firearms to resolve conflict. Some of it can be really 375 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 3: low level too, for stuff you go that is mental 376 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 3: that we're doing that, and I kind of I look 377 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: at that and go, you know, this goes on and 378 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 3: on and those you know, those communities and Gusy are 379 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 3: so resilient and they they just kind of they look 380 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 3: at their gang members and go, oh my god, here 381 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 3: we go again. 382 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: Exactly. I'm so I'm as sick of it as clearly 383 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: as clearly you are. The new powers and rules that 384 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 2: you have at your disposal. Do you get the sense 385 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 2: that they're working, because I'm just a bit depressed that 386 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: the gangs are back in the news. That's all. 387 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. 388 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 3: I actually I think we'd all be probably pleasantly surprised 389 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 3: that the gang patch Bean has been really good. It's 390 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: kind of it's made that presence and a bit of 391 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 3: control come back into the situation. I think that's you know, 392 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 3: when I talk to our staff, that's probably gone better 393 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 3: than we thought. But we don't want to rest on 394 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: our laurels either because it just drives a different type 395 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: of behavior. So I think that actually there has been 396 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 3: some success around that, but it's a long burn, like 397 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 3: we need to keep on. It doesn't mean that their 398 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 3: games have stopped behaving badly, no, you know, it means 399 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 3: that the public can feel that much better. So I 400 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: think it does. It has made a difference, and for 401 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: our staff it's also it's a really good thing. Then 402 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 3: get the confidence to deal with things front for it. 403 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,239 Speaker 3: That's really good too. 404 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 2: Good stuff, ton You're nice to talk to you and 405 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: go well with the good work. Tony Kurra, who's the 406 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 2: Deputy Police commissioner. 407 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 15: Is it just me? 408 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: I like her and she seemed a very likable sort 409 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 2: of woman. Nineteen minutes away from seven s the news 410 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: this morning on the housing I don't have time to 411 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: give you the full numbers this morning, but just know 412 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: that it's very very affordable. Perception of course's reality to 413 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: buy a house the moment has become increasingly affordable, and 414 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 2: so don't fixate on the price. What's driving it and 415 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: I'll crunch you through the numbers around the region. What's 416 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: driving it is we're earning more money and the cost 417 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 2: of borrowing money is going down. So when you get 418 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: those two factors together, things look pretty promising. So more 419 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: shortly eighteen to two. 420 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio, powered 421 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: by News Talks AP. 422 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 2: Now, if your second home as your garage, you know 423 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: when you're surrounded by your tools and you apply which 424 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: you will be impressed by the recent resident led projects 425 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: completed at r veda living well community.

It's improved nine 553 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 2: point three percent between August and November of last year. 554 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 2: Only Northland and Southlands about it has gone the wrong direction. 555 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: Canterbury largest income increases I mentioned before, it's the interest 556 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: rates going down, it's the incomes going up year on year. 557 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: Affordability is up nineteen percent. Now you can't argue with that. 558 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: The West Coast Marlborough, Wellington Waycato, Canterbury all improvements in 559 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: affordability over over twenty percent. And they think there's more 560 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: where that came from because the interest rates are still 561 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 2: going to get cut, a couple more cuts to come, 562 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: and they're expecting further improvements in terms of wages in 563 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: this country. Least affordable region in the country at the 564 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: moment is Tasman one hundred and twenty three percent, Auckland 565 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: at one twenty, in Bay of Plenty at one thirteen, 566 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 2: whereas the West Coast is the lowest. A really very 567 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 2: good article about the West Coast the other day, so 568 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 2: they said the weather, the weather is better than you think. 569 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: Mind you, that was a person who moved there and 570 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: they went, I thought it was going to rain in 571 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 2: a lot of sand flies, but apparently there aren't as 572 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 2: many san flies and it doesn't rain as much as 573 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 2: you think. But the cost of housing, there's plenty of 574 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: jobs of the West Coast at fifty five percent. It's Boomtown, 575 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 2: five minutes away from seven. 576 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: The in and the ouse. It's the fizz with business 577 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: fiber take your business productivity to the next level. 578 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is now might be a bit 579 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 2: of a sweet spot in the old housing market. Torpedo seven, 580 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 2: now there's a story. They're in need of a turn 581 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 2: around and lives the aplan, all my word, there's a plan. 582 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: So Torpedo seven was sold by the warehouse for a dollar. 583 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: It bought it four fifty two. He bought it and 584 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: then spent fifty two million honor and that didn't work. 585 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: So they had to flick it and they in flecked 586 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: it to who are partners? 587 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 1: Now? 588 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 2: To who are partners? They own Burger King here and 589 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 2: Starbucks and Popeyes and Hanners and Number one shoes. So 590 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 2: that's a diverse portfolio, isn't it Cheap shoes and Hamburgers. Anyway, 591 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 2: what are they going to do with it? Well, they're 592 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: permanently going to close a couple of shops, I'm afraid 593 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: to tell you one and wrote a real one in 594 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 2: Westgate which is Norkumanbe. They're going to convert ten of 595 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: the remaining sixteen into a new offering what they're calling 596 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: the outlet. So what's the outlet? Well, the outlet they 597 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 2: claim will offer great value and everyday discounts and a 598 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: diverse mix of products including apparel, footwear, outdoor gear and 599 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 2: other categories. Now the other categories, they're a mystery. So 600 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: that makes it so much more exciting, isn't it? As 601 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: you wait for this turnaround to unfold, the remaining six 602 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: outlets are going to remain flagship. Torpedo sevens now not 603 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 2: making fun of Torpedo sevens because we bought some weights 604 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 2: from Torpedo sevens the other day. So Torpedo seven do weights. 605 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 2: And if you think ordering weights is easy, it's not 606 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: easy because they weigh a lot. They delivered to twelve 607 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 2: kilos the other day, twenty four kilos, just in a 608 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: little size. And here's the thing about it. The twelve 609 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 2: kilo weights were smaller than the eight kilo waits and 610 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: the eight kilo waits. I thought eight kilos, I can 611 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: handle that. So I picked up sixteen kilos and I thought, oh, 612 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: I think it wasn't that hard at all. But then 613 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: these little bit of twelve kilos could barely shift them 614 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 2: twenty four kilos. 615 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 11: Anyway, that might amazing as well. 616 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: It is incredible. And the is that that gravity listen. 617 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 2: It is the gravity listen, isn't or mad Waits or something. 618 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: It all came from Torpedo seven so we played our 619 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 2: small bit in helping them out by buying some weights 620 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: and eates and some twelves. Anyway, I'm going to talk 621 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: about the stadium for in a couple of moments. 622 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 21: That's after the news, the Breakfast Show, Kiwi's Trust to 623 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 21: Stay in the Know, the Mike Husking Breakfast with al Vida, 624 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 21: Retirement Commune, Life Your Way News Dogs had been. 625 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 2: Twenty seven past seven. So we've got yet another debate 626 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: over a so called national stadium in Auckland, and like 627 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 2: the other ones, this one has now ground to a 628 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 2: bit of a whole. There's a report tells us that 629 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,719 Speaker 2: Eden Park's redevelopment and the downtown Key Park project are 630 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: both unfeasible without public money. So counselors are going to 631 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: meet tomorrowy Yaxham Moore about it. The chief executive of 632 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 2: the two thousand and eleven Rugby World Cup, Martin Snedden's 633 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: with There's Martin Morning, Biddy, Michael, good to talk to you. 634 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: It's embarrassing because I was talking to you in twenty 635 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 2: eleven about this very thing and we're still talking about 636 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 2: it now. I mean, is just tell you everything you 637 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 2: need to know about what's wrong? With this country. 638 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 15: Yeah. 639 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 22: Yeah, we're not good on this one at all. And 640 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 22: it's it's really frustrating because the longer it goes on, 641 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 22: the more it just gets bogged down and positions that 642 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 22: just don't come together. 643 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: Do you have a plan? I mean, first of all, 644 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 2: two part question, do we need a national stadium? And 645 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: two if we do, who should run it and own 646 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 2: it and sort it and make a decision once and 647 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 2: for all. 648 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 22: So I'll just declare I'm hopelessly conflicted here. Great great 649 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 22: father was one of five blocks that mortgaged their houses 650 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 22: and purchased the land and sandring and turned it into 651 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 22: a cricket ground, put it into a trust, invited rugby 652 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 22: in and you know, said my family me. We've had 653 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 22: such a huge involvement with the ground. So I love it. 654 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 22: I love Eden Park. I love the big events there. 655 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 22: I think they do the big events really well. I 656 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 22: mean people in this whole debate seem to forget that 657 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 22: the Rugby World Cup, you know, eleven games basically sixty 658 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 22: thousand people again, Cricket World Cup two fifteen, the fief 659 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 22: of Women's World Cup you know last year could play 660 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,719 Speaker 22: playing there fifty thousand people three nights in a row. 661 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 22: It can handle the really big events, the national stadium events. 662 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 22: I'm a resident around Eden Park that's sorted all the 663 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 22: rubbish out around there. They do a great job with 664 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 22: the residence. So the problem might is not the big stuff. 665 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 22: The problem is the small stuff and playing, you know, 666 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 22: a whole bunch of small stuff in a stadium that's 667 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 22: just not built for small stuff. Creckitt made a big 668 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 22: decision a number of years ago to shift test cricket 669 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 22: out of the big stadium, put it in the boutique 670 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 22: grounds like Hagley and Bay Oval, and it's worked brilliantly. 671 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 22: But if we continue to put small events into big 672 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 22: stadium and this will be the same. Even if they 673 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 22: build a brand new stadium down in the waterfront area, 674 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 22: if they're getting five thousand people to those games that 675 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 22: are played there, they're going to have the same problem. 676 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 22: So we've needed for a long time right size stadia 677 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 22: to fit right size events, and we missed an enormous 678 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 22: opportunity with Western Springs about seven or eight years ago, 679 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 22: where cricket could have really easily transferred there. Got out 680 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 22: of the way of everything at Rugby Looker. 681 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: Following the rest of the country. Though, by the time 682 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 2: you've got Eden Park and you've got Mount Smart Stadium, 683 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 2: you've got Albany Stadium, don't we have enough stuff? 684 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 22: I mean we're we shouldn't even have that amount. I 685 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 22: mean it's time people really got collaborative. And I know, 686 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 22: you know, you may not agree with me here, but 687 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 22: the Warriors Auckland f C. They should be incorporated into 688 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 22: the program and eaten part so that you know that 689 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 22: venue is this is what's happened, you know places around 690 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 22: the world, is the multi use of one venue. Look 691 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 22: at what happened at Eaton Park over the weekend. We're 692 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 22: on Friday they had white fans and black Caps Internationals 693 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 22: played their Saturday it was a Crusaders and the Blues, 694 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 22: and Monday it was the All Whites qualifying for. 695 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 5: The World Cup. 696 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 22: That's the right use of the stadia and that's what 697 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 22: we need to move towards. We don't need to keep 698 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 22: propping up other stadia that are just not for purpose. 699 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 22: Let's just concentrate it all into what we've got now. 700 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 22: The real problem here of courses now is quite obviously 701 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 22: public money is needed, all right, Well, Ukham's house has 702 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 22: got no money and it's not putting anything to this 703 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 22: and therefore the whole process that we're going through at 704 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 22: the moment was probably doomed right from the start. The 705 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 22: government's in such a difficult situation with a whole raft 706 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 22: of things, since people and Dunedin are being on quite 707 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 22: rightly about a hospital, so you've got to prioritize a 708 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 22: hospital ahead of the Stadia. So they haven't known any money. 709 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 22: So where are we going to go? 710 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 2: Very good question, Martin, These are all good questions. You 711 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 2: sound like a sensible, intelligent man who should be running 712 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 2: more things than you currently are. Martin snedden Is as 713 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 2: eleven minutes past seven Paska and yet Brisbane yesterday one 714 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 2: hundred days they took to have a review and after 715 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 2: one hundred days they announced day sixty three thousand seat 716 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 2: stadium for the Olympic Games at a cost of three 717 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 2: point seven eighty five billion dollars, which will be the 718 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 2: home of the Brisbane Lines, the Brisbane Heat, the Brisbane 719 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 2: Balls and also have the ability to hope our host 720 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: AFL as well as Test cricket. So that's why Australia 721 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 2: is Australia and we aren't right. As various parts of 722 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 2: the economy sparked to life the old employment side of 723 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 2: the equation. As we mentioned with Andrew earlier, U still 724 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 2: to feel upbeat. Confidence levels at their lowest levels since 725 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 2: September of twenty twenty. It all comes from the west 726 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 2: Pac mcderm at Miller survey show's job availability remains soft, 727 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 2: but it's not all bad. EMA's head of Advocacy, Finance 728 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 2: and Strategy, Allan McDonald back with us Ellen Morning, Morning, Mine. 729 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 2: So I read in the report that it's going to peak. 730 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 2: They think at five unemployment this is peak at five 731 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 2: point three percent. We're almost there. So can I say 732 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 2: the worst is almost behind us? Are about to be, 733 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:26,479 Speaker 2: I hope. 734 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 23: So we're a little surprised in February where the inquiries 735 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 23: to our advice line around redundancies and restructures actually pop 736 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 23: back up to new record levels. Now we're kind of 737 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 23: hopeful that just that December January period where people have 738 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 23: gone away and had a good look at things and 739 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 23: made the tough calls, but some of the numbers heading 740 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 23: in the right direction. But a lot of our members 741 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 23: again have just been out on the road still doing 742 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 23: it really hard. So just that lack of confidence still 743 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 23: in actually hiring and expanding and all those good things 744 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 23: that we need to get going. 745 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 2: And are they literally doing it hard or are they 746 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 2: just telling you they're doing it hard, because I always 747 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 2: worry about surveys that talk about perception. 748 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 23: No, I think they are literally doing it hard. I 749 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 23: was about sixty more than sixteen percent of firms actually 750 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 23: debre started in the last year, and that's always a 751 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 23: tough decision. Some sectors are popping up quite well. You know, 752 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 23: our exports sector, particularly around the primary industry, is doing 753 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 23: pretty well, and some of our smart tech innovators are 754 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 23: getting strong orders. But other other areas, the usual suspects, 755 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 23: you know, tourism, hospo, construction still a bit flat. Manufacturing 756 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 23: has had a really rough patch as well. Finally on 757 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 23: the turn, but their higher expectations and maybe later in 758 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 23: the year rather than sooner. 759 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, manufacturers back in positive. Services is back in 760 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 2: the negative. Do you see this broad sense that by 761 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 2: the end of the year we're going to be okay ish. 762 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 23: That's what the indicators are telling us, and that's what 763 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 23: some of the confidence surveys are telling us as well. 764 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 23: They're saying, look not so good now, but maybe six 765 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 23: to twelve months. I think you've got a huge, huge 766 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 23: proportion of mortgages coming off short term fixed terms in 767 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 23: the next six to twelve months. When that money starts 768 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 23: to flow into pockets, because consumer confidence is all over 769 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 23: the place as well, When that money starts to flow 770 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 23: into pockets, I think that's when you'll see some real 771 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 23: confidence movement in those some of those numbers, and finally 772 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 23: turn the corner. But it's a it's a super tanker turn, 773 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 23: it's not a jet boat turn. 774 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 2: Good stuff all right, must catch up with the Allen 775 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 2: Allen McDonald em ahead a bit because he financed strategy 776 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 2: on that broad subject of big picture and rimas and 777 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 2: the reform and the announcement from the government this week, 778 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 2: there is a suggestion that we might be able to 779 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: get a little bit of cooperation from the Labor Party 780 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 2: for the big picture stuff going forward. So Chris Hopkins 781 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: with us after seven thirty quarter past seven already. 782 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: The High Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio powered 783 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: by News Talks. 784 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 3: A b. 785 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 2: Seventeen past seven. For a Labor government, it's about as 786 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 2: blatant as far as I could work out as you 787 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 2: could get. Despite the fact Australia running massive deficits. This 788 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 2: is the budget last night. They handed out tax for everybody. 789 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 2: There's medical Medicare funding, make a cheapi, go to the doctor. 790 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 2: They're going to pay a chunk of your power bill 791 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 2: going to player, slice off your student loan if you've 792 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 2: got one. It's almost as though there's know an election 793 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 2: coming up. HSBC Chief Economist Paul Bloxham's with us. Paul, 794 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 2: good morning to you. 795 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 4: Good morning, So. 796 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 2: More money as opposed to politics. But there's this idea 797 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 2: that they're going to run deficits forever in a country 798 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 2: that once ran surpluses. Are they sort of given up? 799 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 4: There wasn't very much in the budget for trying to 800 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 4: deal with this particular challenge and that was actually the 801 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 4: main thing we highlighted when we looked at it and 802 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 4: when we thought about it. You know, the Australia is 803 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 4: running budget deficits, as you say, over the rest of 804 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 4: the forecast horizon. They're what you call a structural budget deficit. 805 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 4: So really what that means is the government is saying, 806 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 4: for all of the commitments we've got in terms of 807 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 4: spending over the forecast horizon, we're not going to get 808 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 4: enough tax revenue to meet those spending commitments, and that's 809 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 4: going to be the state of affairs overcoming overcoming years. 810 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 4: And they haven't really delivered any solutions for fixing that 811 00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 4: structural budget deficit. 812 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 2: But they're bringing in more than they've ever brought in 813 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 2: six hundred and sixty three billion dollars from tax and 814 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 2: yet they still can't make ends meet. 815 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 4: That's right, there is more tax revenue coming through. There 816 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 4: was an upside surprise actually again in these numbers. So 817 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 4: this is the fourth year where there's been an upside 818 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 4: surprise in fact that sort of the three previous budgets 819 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 4: delivered really substantial upside surprises to revenue. A lot of 820 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 4: it's been funneled back into commitments to spend. I think 821 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 4: underpinning the numbers also, there's an assumption that productivity picks 822 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 4: up in the economy that's quite strong, and there's an 823 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 4: assumption that there is actually still quite a bit of 824 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 4: trimming going on in some of the bigger items like 825 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 4: the National Disability Insurance game. So there's a lot of 826 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 4: there's questions as to whether even the numbers that are 827 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 4: presented are actually necessarily going to get even the structural 828 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 4: budget deficit that's there. So you know, the way you 829 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 4: fix this problem, You've got three things. You can only 830 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 4: do it three ways. You either find ways to trim 831 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,520 Speaker 4: back on spending, you find ways to get more revenue, 832 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 4: but the tax revenue is actually forecast to rise anyway. 833 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 4: Or the third one, which is very very much you 834 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 4: know what ought to happen. You try to boost the 835 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 4: economy's growth. If you can boost growth in the economy, 836 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,439 Speaker 4: that's the best way to do this, absolutely hands down. 837 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 4: But to get that to happen, you've got to take 838 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 4: action on reform that gets productivity to list. And this 839 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 4: is the big this is the big, fundamental underlying challenge 840 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 4: Australia faces that productivity is very poor. It's been going backwards, 841 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 4: not forwards. It's been falling over the past year. It's 842 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 4: been to the same level right now that it was 843 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen. We haven't had any productivity growth in 844 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 4: eight years in Australia and there's very little there's you know, 845 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 4: the budget is very focused on spending measures as you describe. 846 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 4: As we head towards an election before the seventeenth of May. 847 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,439 Speaker 2: Great and so Paul appreciate it very much. Pull blocks 848 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 2: them out of HSB. See the forecast for growth has 849 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,879 Speaker 2: gone from one point five to two point twenty five. 850 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 2: So there's a question mark as to whether that's believable 851 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 2: or not. But as I've said on this program for many, 852 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 2: many years, not that I suspect the many voters really 853 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 2: care about it. But if you think Australia is great, 854 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 2: it's not. There's a lot wrong with the US Australia. 855 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 2: And if you look at the documentation and the budget 856 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 2: last night, it's all laid out there, but they'll pretend 857 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 2: that it's all good and the fantastic. And as long 858 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 2: as you're getting a little bit of something in your 859 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 2: back pocket, what do you care? Anyway?

Now you have 886 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 2: forgotten his name because, like so much news these days, 887 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 2: it's hot stuff until it isn't. Lindsay's the bloke there 888 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,280 Speaker 2: was appointed to watch over Wellington Council because of their dysfunction. 889 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 2: He's just written his second report, his first report seems 890 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 2: sort of sympathetic to my eye anyway. Ah, Yes, they 891 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 2: were a mess, but they were decent sort of people, 892 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 2: that sort of thing. His second report seems to suggest 893 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 2: not a lot is getting better. Some counselors have continued, 894 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 2: he writes, their criticism of each other, and officers are 895 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,800 Speaker 2: suspected of leaking information. He also says the community is 896 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 2: that it's wits end his words, not mine, wits end 897 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 2: over infrastructure, although most of that comes from the same complainers. 898 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 2: He also noted since his first report, there's been several 899 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 2: incidences that have given rise to concerns about the organization's 900 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,839 Speaker 2: ability to function. Now the question I have has given 901 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 2: the place is still to be found wanting what next. 902 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 2: So you might remember the Minister at the time, simming 903 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 2: In Brown, put this bloke in as the least and 904 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 2: trusive option as opposed to a full commissioner or set 905 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 2: of commissioners. So far, so bad. So is he going 906 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 2: to do anything about any of this? Or is poor 907 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 2: old Lindsay set to write reports for the rest of 908 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 2: his life. In the report, though I found a nugget 909 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 2: of gold, he recommends a review of the Local Government 910 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 2: Act in relation to the qualification for and capability to 911 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 2: hold office. Yes, yes, yes, yes, please, Let's actually treat 912 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 2: these jobs as jobs, as opposed to devils or fascinations 913 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 2: or fiftoms. Let's actually require people to God forbid, have 914 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 2: some skills. Now, the idea you can just put your 915 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 2: name for it for a job of such responsibility is absurd, 916 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 2: beyond belief, of course. And when any idiot can have 917 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 2: a crack, guess what you get, Wellington is what you get. 918 00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 2: So let's get a bit of professionalism and then let's 919 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 2: put a bit of hift behind the job. Let's get 920 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 2: some talent in the room. If that recommendation has acted 921 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 2: on and I have no doubt it won't be because 922 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 2: why would you fix anything when you get ignore it. 923 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 2: But if that was run with Lindsey would deserve, if 924 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 2: not a knighthood, certainly keys to a vastly better run city. 925 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 2: Pasking common sense conversation with eden Park no money, so 926 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 2: use what we have, sensibly, thank you. Denise Martin sneedan 927 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 2: Can we just put him in charge? He's likable guy, 928 00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 2: isn't he? Elmton Morning Read the stadium. Don't build another 929 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 2: stadium in Auckland. Use the North Harbor Stadium instead. Don't 930 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 2: we already own that white elephant? Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. 931 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 2: Are you sick of talking about it? 932 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:39,919 Speaker 5: Yep? 933 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 2: Have we talked about it too long? 934 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 5: Yep. 935 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 2: Bob Geldoff is in the studio tomorrow, which is exciting 936 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 2: because I haven't seen Bob for twenty years. I just 937 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,279 Speaker 2: worked out it was twenty years ago that he last 938 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 2: came to the country, or at least last time he 939 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 2: was here and I ran into him. But he was 940 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 2: here for a show with Malcolm McLaren and we spent 941 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: a good fun day together and Greg Johnson was on 942 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 2: the piano, probably tells him story. He won't remember any 943 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 2: of this. I'm going to do this tomorrow and go 944 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 2: remember last time I saw your Bob, and he'll go none. Anyway. 945 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 2: He's easier for I'll tell you what he's here for 946 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 2: tomorrow anyway, when he joins us in the studio after 947 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 2: eight o'clock meantime cooperation around the Resource Management Act. Let 948 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 2: us go on from National to Labor and the Greens. 949 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 2: Can we get this together, bang a few heads and 950 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 2: get some cooperation? Is it possible? We'll ask the Chipster Next. 951 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: It's your source of freaking news, challenging opinion and honored facts. 952 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: The Mike Hosking Breakfast with the range Rover Villa designed 953 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: to intrigue and use, Tom sed b mad. 954 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 2: Michell, Ginny Anderson are through a politics Wednesday, have coursed 955 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,880 Speaker 2: twenty three minutes away from it, speaking to which the 956 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 2: government is having a crack at cross party support for 957 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 2: their RIMA reform. They're inviting the Labor Party and the 958 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 2: Greens to the table to try and build sort of 959 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 2: consensus around these new laws. So what chance did this happen? 960 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 2: Labor Party leader Crusipkins with us morning. 961 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 11: Good morning, Mike. 962 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,959 Speaker 10: I'm glad you found my number again. 963 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 2: And no, we never lost your number, Chris just didn't 964 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 2: want to ring it. You know how it goes now? 965 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 10: A brutal business, Mike. 966 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 2: It's a tough business, Chris. On a scale of one 967 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 2: to ten when we talk about this cooperation business, on 968 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 2: a scale of one to ten ten. You can't wait 969 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 2: to get into bed with these people and sort out 970 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,560 Speaker 2: the RMA one. You hate them and you're never going 971 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 2: to touch them with a barge pole. Where are you at? 972 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:14,839 Speaker 22: Oh? 973 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 10: I think we're keen to try and achieve some certainty 974 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 10: for New Zealanders. So if we can work with them 975 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 10: find a way forward that involves a bit of compromise 976 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 10: and that will actually give some certainty to RMA reform, 977 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 10: then we're very keen to talk to them. 978 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 15: You know. 979 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 10: I think one of the things that we've heard a 980 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 10: lot in the last year or so from New Zealanders is, 981 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 10: you know, the ping pong where each government comes in 982 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 10: and just changes everything the last government did is actually 983 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 10: getting a bit dizzy, and for people, compromise will be 984 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 10: required on both sides. If we're going to get something 985 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 10: that's a bit more stable and that avoids that, and 986 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 10: if we can try and achieve that over the next 987 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 10: year and a half or so, then we're open to 988 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 10: that conversation. 989 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 2: Now. I was very pleased to hear you say that 990 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 2: the other day, and I thought, well, maybe we're onto something. 991 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 2: But then I asked Ginny Anderson on the program last 992 00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 2: week about your charter schools, and she botched that completely. 993 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 2: And you're still canceling charter schools. But you so, on 994 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 2: one hand, you're saying we want to cooperate. On another hand, 995 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 2: we're not canceling stuff, and then you are well. 996 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 10: There are I mean, you're never going to get complete 997 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 10: unanimity in politics, So there are going to be areas 998 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 10: where there's difference. But in areas like infrastructure and areas 999 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 10: like RIMA reform, where we've got really long lead times, 1000 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,879 Speaker 10: very long kind of tails to some of these things, 1001 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,640 Speaker 10: and very significant effects with the short term chop and 1002 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 10: change cycle, we do want to try and provide a 1003 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 10: bit more certainty. So if you take things like infrastructure, 1004 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 10: for example, one government coming in and saying, ohously, I 1005 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 10: don't like the roading projects that the last government have 1006 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 10: signed up to, so we're going to put all them 1007 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 10: on hold and we're going to come up with our 1008 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 10: own list of roading projects. What happens in the meantime 1009 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 10: is all the businesses who would build those roading projects 1010 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 10: suddenly go all, what do we do with all the 1011 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 10: workers who we've got leaning on shovels? And you know, 1012 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 10: I just think that's got to stop. So what I 1013 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 10: said was in areas like roading, for example, if there 1014 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 10: are projects underway, even if they might not have been 1015 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 10: our first choice, we'll keep doing them. Now the long 1016 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 10: term pipeline might change so further down the track. Five 1017 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 10: years down the TI you might find that the priorities 1018 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 10: have changed and we're building different roads, but we won't 1019 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 10: grind everything to a hold hold in the meantime. 1020 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,280 Speaker 2: What about your comment about the treaty, So the treaty's 1021 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 2: not in it? Do you is that like put it 1022 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 2: in or else we're out. 1023 00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 10: It's certainly something we want to talk to them about. So, 1024 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,359 Speaker 10: I mean, Chris Bishop made some soothing comments yesterday about 1025 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 10: wanting to respect, you know, Mardi rights under the treaty, 1026 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 10: wanting to make sure that treaty settlements were upheld and 1027 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 10: all of that. We need to kind of see what 1028 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 10: that looks like because saying that you want to do 1029 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 10: that but then saying you don't want to put it 1030 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 10: in the law a kind of contradictory thing. So we 1031 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 10: need to understand exactly what the government are proposing there. 1032 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 2: I don't want to make it too political, but one 1033 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 2: of the examples that's been tossed around in the last 1034 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,040 Speaker 2: couple of days sort of the Island Singapore thing where 1035 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,200 Speaker 2: they've got all the rules on basically one page. When 1036 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 2: David Parker wanted to reform it and came up with 1037 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 2: nine hundred plus pages, was that a bridge too far? 1038 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 10: I mean, I think you can't judge the quality of 1039 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 10: legislation in an area like this by the length of it, 1040 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 10: because in some cases, longer legislation that gives more clarity 1041 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 10: is better than shorter legislation, which then means you get 1042 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 10: a hold lot of regulations which can shop and change more. 1043 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,840 Speaker 10: So I don't think that we should set a page 1044 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 10: limit to it, because sometimes you know, a longer legislation 1045 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 10: actually is clearer than shorter legislation. So if you did 1046 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 10: get it down to a page, for example, Mike, and 1047 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 10: it was a page of principles, that'd be quite subjective potentially, 1048 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 10: and then the courts end up having more sway in 1049 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 10: it rather than Parliament. So you know, I think what 1050 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,920 Speaker 10: we want to try and do is find something that 1051 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,520 Speaker 10: gives New Zealanders some certainty so that they can say, Okay, 1052 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 10: these are the rules, we know what they're going to be, 1053 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 10: they're locked in, and we can move forward. And I 1054 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 10: think that that actual but that does put an onus 1055 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,160 Speaker 10: on National in particular to say, yet, we'll come to 1056 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 10: the table and we'll try and find a way forward 1057 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 10: that labor and National can both live with. And it 1058 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 10: might not be first preference for either of us. Who 1059 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,280 Speaker 10: will find a way forward. What Chris Bishop's leader effectively 1060 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 10: said yesterday was that you know, New Zealand first and 1061 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 10: Act will continue to have a veto on any decisions. 1062 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 10: Now I think he is a fed up of that. 1063 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 10: So I'm saying to them, look, if Labor and National 1064 00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 10: can get around the table, find a way forward. That 1065 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 10: gives you majority in parliament, but it also means it's 1066 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 10: an enduring majority if the government changes. I think New 1067 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 10: Zealander would be quite keen on that. 1068 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 2: Would you concede? Though? The couple of examples I've got 1069 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 2: exercised about it, like was this k road building by 1070 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 2: Farenhey that was rejected for reasons that having read it, 1071 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 2: I can't even begin to understand. And the wind farm 1072 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 2: in Southland under your fast track rule, the wind farm 1073 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,320 Speaker 2: wasn't allowed, so renewable fast track still can't go ahead. 1074 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you can't defend that stuff, can you? 1075 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 15: No? 1076 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 10: I mean I was pretty frustrated by both of those decisions, 1077 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 10: to be frank, you know, and you know the fast 1078 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 10: Track was designed to try and speed up exactly that 1079 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 10: kind of project and those kind of projects, when we 1080 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 10: need more renewable energy in New Zealand and we need 1081 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 10: a resource management process that allows us to get that. 1082 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,359 Speaker 10: I think if you take the case of the wind 1083 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 10: farm for example, it kind of highlights where we need 1084 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 10: a bit of a almost like an attitude shift towards 1085 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 10: this stuff. From saying no, you can't do these things 1086 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,880 Speaker 10: for these reasons, to saying, look, these are the concerns 1087 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 10: that we've got, and here's how you can mitigate those 1088 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 10: concerns that you can go ahead and do it. 1089 00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 17: Now. 1090 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,479 Speaker 10: That's the kind of I think sort of attitude shift 1091 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,800 Speaker 10: that we need around resource management stuff. It's not that 1092 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,800 Speaker 10: there shouldn't be environmental protections, there should be. It's not 1093 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,279 Speaker 10: that there shouldn't be constraints. There should be, but the 1094 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 10: way we approach them has to be. Wind farms are good. 1095 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 10: We won't need them to happen in order for them 1096 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 10: to happen in this area. These are the things you 1097 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 10: need to do to mitigate the risks. 1098 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 2: Now, I'm nice to catch up with the Cross Sipkins 1099 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 2: Labor Party leader. It's eighteen minutes away from eight Mike. 1100 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,919 Speaker 2: I wouldn't trust Chippy with a barge pole too much. Baggage. Sure, 1101 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 2: that's my ongoing. That's why I can't wait for the 1102 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 2: election to year next year, because it's going to be 1103 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,839 Speaker 2: a fascinating thing. And that's why traditionally governments get two 1104 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 2: terms in this country, especially ones that got heved out 1105 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,240 Speaker 2: of power for very obvious and overt reasons around the economy. 1106 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,879 Speaker 2: Is that you haven't forgotten and the same people are there. 1107 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 2: So unless I mean, if they'd materially changed that they'd gone, 1108 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 2: look those policies for another time, another day, and we're 1109 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,080 Speaker 2: different now, or that jettisoned a whole lot of people 1110 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 2: out and put a whole lot of new people, and 1111 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 2: then you have a different conversation. But the same people 1112 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 2: who shafted the economy are going to be presenting themselves 1113 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 2: to you next year and going, hey, remember us, Mike, 1114 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 2: Shorter legislations always better, Hipkins not convincing. All Chippy is 1115 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 2: doing is appeasing potential swing voters. This rat will say 1116 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 2: anything to get in power. Mike Chippy needs the Marry 1117 00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,240 Speaker 2: Party to get back into government and they won't agree. 1118 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 2: Weasel words. So didn't go too well. From seventeen too. 1119 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 1: Good The Mike Asking Breakfast Full Show Podcast on iHeartRadio 1120 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 1121 00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 2: At be nicely summed up to actually Mike, which Chrissy 1122 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 2: you interviewing on the rama literally copying Luckson's words, So 1123 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,120 Speaker 2: Luxon if you missed him on the program yesterday was 1124 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 2: all about the no culture and Hipkins picked the up 1125 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,319 Speaker 2: and ram with it, which is both, which makes both 1126 00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,879 Speaker 2: of them right now best piece of reading. I haven't 1127 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 2: got to Duncan Webb. Duncan Webb's a Labor Party MP 1128 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 2: and he's been on social media talking about supermarket and 1129 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 2: this is where this thing's going to go wrong, because 1130 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 2: poor old Barbara Edmonds was getting a pasting in the 1131 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 2: house yes to day once again because she butchered the 1132 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 2: pppiece public Private partnerships, and so they were sort of going, well, 1133 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:09,279 Speaker 2: we kind of like public private partnerships, but sometimes we don't, 1134 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 2: and then when we do, they might not work, and 1135 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 2: so it went on, and then she went on to 1136 00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,280 Speaker 2: explain that she needed to explain it differently to different audiences, 1137 00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 2: so the whole thing became a complete cluster until she 1138 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,680 Speaker 2: eventually apologized for all the confusion. And that's before you 1139 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,879 Speaker 2: get to Ginny's performance on this program last week about 1140 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 2: the charter school and whether or not they were going 1141 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 2: to get canceled. And then you've got Duncan web who's 1142 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 2: been on social media talking about a supermarket in his 1143 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 2: local area, which is nearer I haven't to know. Well, 1144 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 2: in christ Duty called Edgewhere because Manana used to live 1145 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 2: in edge Where and I was just down the roads 1146 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 2: and Aubans and you'd go up to the edge Where 1147 00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,319 Speaker 2: area and wear these shops. And these days it's all 1148 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,919 Speaker 2: supermarkets and it's a big sort of built up area. 1149 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 2: But anyway, they want to put a new supermarket in eachwhere. 1150 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 2: But Duncan's busy on social media going well, no, I 1151 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,640 Speaker 2: don't support a new supermarket. Everyone's going, what we need 1152 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 2: more supermarkets? Oh, I support a new supermarket, but we're 1153 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,360 Speaker 2: not having any public consultation because of this fast track business. 1154 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 2: We need to have public consultation. And everyone goes, well, 1155 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 2: the public consultation would be we want more supermarkets, dunk 1156 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 2: and he goes, well, we don't know that until we 1157 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,800 Speaker 2: have the public consultation. Well, don't you support the supermarket, 1158 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 2: dunk it. Oh, I support the supermarket, but we just 1159 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 2: have the public consultation so you can see where these 1160 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 2: people go so hopelessly wrong. It's all theory, no reality. Meantime, 1161 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,240 Speaker 2: back to the best piece of reading you will see today, please, 1162 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 2: can I recommend Audrey Young's piece in the Herald this 1163 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 2: morning where she talks to Winston Peters. Winston she was 1164 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 2: setting up the interview, she explains later on, to talk 1165 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 2: about Marco Rubio, but they got onto vastly more fascinating things, 1166 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 2: and that would be Winston age. He's about to turn eighty. 1167 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,400 Speaker 2: Now I call it completely wrong. If you remember a 1168 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,360 Speaker 2: couple of years ago, I said he'd get to this 1169 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 2: last election, then he'd call it quits, and he clearly 1170 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,400 Speaker 2: shows no signs of that whatsoever. So he's about to 1171 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 2: turn eighty in April, and they get on to diet. 1172 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 2: And if you're a regular on this program, you will 1173 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 2: know nobody is more fixated with diet and food and 1174 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 2: health and exercise and all that sort of stuff than 1175 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 2: I am. But turns out Winston's reasonably interested as well. 1176 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,239 Speaker 2: He claims in this article this morning that back in 1177 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty he made a decision June five, nineteen eighty, 1178 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 2: that he was all about the diet. Now then he 1179 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,000 Speaker 2: makes this comment and never a truer word is said. 1180 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,359 Speaker 2: This drive he talks of to fix up the health 1181 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 2: system doesn't count for much, especially with Marian Polynesians, if 1182 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 2: they're not going to have a decent diet. Diet is 1183 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 2: not wealth. Diet is the right food. I think diet 1184 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 2: is absolutely critical, and I'm glad somebody's saying that because 1185 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:28,799 Speaker 2: no one else will, because of course you'll be called 1186 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:32,759 Speaker 2: a racist. But it's true. And the problem for so 1187 00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,440 Speaker 2: much of what's going wrong with the Western world and 1188 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:40,320 Speaker 2: the health systems generally is that people are fat, and 1189 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,360 Speaker 2: if they're not fat, they're obese. And if they're not 1190 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 2: fat and or obese, they're not exercising, and they're not healthy. 1191 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:48,840 Speaker 2: And you wonder why everyone's at the bottom of the 1192 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,279 Speaker 2: cliff and the health system. He puts it all down 1193 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 2: his health because he's living way past the average age 1194 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 2: of Mara man, of course, which is about seventy three, 1195 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 2: and he's, as I say, turning eighty living frugally. I 1196 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 2: don't know how true that eating a lot of homegrown 1197 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 2: vegetables and fish and home baked bread. This is how 1198 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 2: we grew up. I think diet is absolutely critical, and 1199 00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,440 Speaker 2: the reality is I don't think we can win this 1200 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 2: battle in terms of the health system in this country. 1201 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 2: Maori health changes unless there is a massive dietary change. 1202 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:18,840 Speaker 2: And that's the problem. If you look at all the 1203 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,719 Speaker 2: people on dialysis, you know, how did they get there. 1204 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 2: They didn't get there by accident, and nobody wants to 1205 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 2: say it. It's no mistake that so many people live 1206 00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 2: a long time who actually keep working, keep their minds busy, 1207 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 2: keep actively engaged. It's the secret to success. The moment 1208 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,279 Speaker 2: you give up in terms of working, I think it's 1209 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,080 Speaker 2: a very bad outcome. So what you're saying is you 1210 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 2: eat well, you work well, you have purpose. And if 1211 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 2: you look at some of the ancient cultures, they're all 1212 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 2: about purpose. It doesn't matter what your purpose is. But 1213 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,040 Speaker 2: if you have a purpose, it gets you out of 1214 00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 2: bed in the morning. And the moment all these all 1215 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 2: this advertising you hear about all you can't wait to 1216 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,439 Speaker 2: do nothing. Doing nothing's a death sentence. And you mix 1217 00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 2: that with a bad diet and you're finished. And so 1218 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 2: of all the that Winston Peters will say to you 1219 00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:05,799 Speaker 2: this year, that probably is the most profound and most important. 1220 00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 2: The only question I would raise around Winston is if 1221 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 2: you've ever been to the Green Parent Wellington. I just 1222 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 2: don't know how much vegetable, how many vegetables were being eaten. 1223 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 2: And he, as far as I know, I think he 1224 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 2: gave up smoking. I may be wrong, and I think 1225 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 2: he could still be a smoker. And he's certainly been 1226 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 2: well acquainted over the years with a drink. So when 1227 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 2: you're talking about fish on one hand and drinking and 1228 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 2: smoking on the other, you sort of negate the way 1229 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 2: of your argument. But nevertheless, good on him for saying 1230 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 2: what he said. He's one hundred percent right, and you 1231 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 2: can read it all. An Audrey's piece this morning, ate 1232 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 2: away from. 1233 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,760 Speaker 1: It the make Cosking Breakfast with Bailey's real Estate Newstalg Sibi. 1234 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,320 Speaker 2: Winston isn't a great fan of cakes either. No, that 1235 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 2: comes out in the article this morning as well. He's 1236 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 2: asking somebody in the office when it was the last 1237 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:54,280 Speaker 2: time they had dessert. They reckonly has dessert a couple 1238 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 2: of times a month, which I would have thought makes 1239 00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 2: them a fairly regular deserter. Right about diet, But the 1240 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 2: truth has medical schools teach next to nothing about nutrition. 1241 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 2: I know that to be true. You're a thousand percent 1242 00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 2: right right. Nurses here Mike, the godfather of modern medicine. 1243 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 2: Hippocrates said, let food be thy medicine and medicine be 1244 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 2: thy food. Diet one hundred percent correct. Check out Zoonia 1245 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,919 Speaker 2: dot com never heard of it.

Mike, My mum's ninety five 1250 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 2: this year. Couple of glasses of wine a day definitely 1251 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 2: keeps her vibrant.

So I don't even try 1347 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 24: that one. 1348 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 13: Back as the incoming minister, the first thing I was 1349 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,680 Speaker 13: briefed on was the fact that the previous labor government 1350 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,640 Speaker 13: had underfunded the cost pressures by about four or five percent, 1351 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 13: and we changed that immediately. We put one hundred and 1352 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,760 Speaker 13: twenty million dollars just to stabilize them because the cost presious, 1353 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:46,840 Speaker 13: because because the cost pressures hadn't been funded for. That's 1354 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:47,600 Speaker 13: the reality of it. 1355 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,400 Speaker 2: Right, are ex budget mate back in the corners, back 1356 01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,280 Speaker 2: in the corners you two, would you agree in listening 1357 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 2: Ginny and listening to Tanny this morning when she spoke 1358 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 2: well of the Gang Patch band and how it's working 1359 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 2: and how they appreciate that, would you at least except 1360 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 2: that that was a good move on this government and 1361 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 2: you guys might have been wrong. 1362 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 24: Well, who it worked a lot better than we thought 1363 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 24: it would end. And I think Chris Carhill has said 1364 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,760 Speaker 24: the same thing that that that front yeah, definitely is 1365 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 24: a good thing. There was a fear that frontline officers 1366 01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,200 Speaker 24: would be hurt and we haven't seen that. So yeah, 1367 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 24: I'll recognize that it has gone a lot better than 1368 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 24: what everybody thought it would do. 1369 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 2: Okay. 1370 01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 13: So I was a frontline police officer and I always 1371 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 13: believed in it, and I always stood by it, and 1372 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,080 Speaker 13: I had we had all the commentators and you're talking 1373 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 13: about Duncan. I mean, he was crying into a suit 1374 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 13: just about every day trying to stick up and protect 1375 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 13: the game membersine And the reality of it is it's 1376 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,200 Speaker 13: been extremely effective and it's made our police officer's job 1377 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,600 Speaker 13: on the street much easier, and I'd argue that it's 1378 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,040 Speaker 13: made people safer. 1379 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,880 Speaker 24: Well, I would say also, at the same time we've 1380 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 24: been game patches, we've seen a ninety six percent increase 1381 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,800 Speaker 24: in methanphetamine use in New Zealand. And my point would 1382 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 24: be that it's more important to get drugs and crime 1383 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,760 Speaker 24: and organized networks broken down than it is to take 1384 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:03,200 Speaker 24: away Peter. 1385 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,680 Speaker 13: So yes, so yes, we have got a myth and 1386 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 13: filming problem in New Zealand. That is a global issue 1387 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 13: that we're dealing with. And the reality is this. We 1388 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 13: ran a very big operation in a Podok where we 1389 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 13: took down the entire Barbarian's Mungol mob and if you 1390 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 13: look at the water testing and the podky, it's dropped significantly. 1391 01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 13: So it just shows that we've got to keep doing 1392 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,640 Speaker 13: what we're doing and hammering the gangs and staying on 1393 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 13: top of the gate. That's exactly what we're doing. 1394 01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 2: Forget the games for a moment, but from the drug 1395 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 2: side of the equation, Jinny who takes. 1396 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 24: Myth, look, they do a really good survey. I think 1397 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 24: you had had someone on the program. 1398 01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,960 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but that was just a generic 1399 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 2: water testing. I don't know anyone who takes myth. 1400 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 24: I mean, is it typically it is like if you 1401 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 24: if you want to generalize, it's it's poorer areas, poorer areas, 1402 01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 24: rural New Zealand with his already poverty. And I know 1403 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 24: of people who work in some of those areas and 1404 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 24: they'd say one of the things you see teachers see 1405 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:00,840 Speaker 24: is that when a family has been on a meat 1406 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:02,800 Speaker 24: b and there's no food in the house because you're 1407 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,960 Speaker 24: going for three or four days without eating, and they're 1408 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 24: not going to sleep, and so you get children turning 1409 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 24: up to school that are hungry who haven't had any sleep. 1410 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 24: So it's already hit by poverty and their entrenches and 1411 01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,560 Speaker 24: makes it even harder for kids growing up in homes 1412 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 24: with poverty. 1413 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,360 Speaker 13: Would you concur with that, mate, Yeah, I think it's 1414 01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,760 Speaker 13: right across society. Sadly, some people sort of get The 1415 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,480 Speaker 13: problem with meth is once it gets it talking to you, 1416 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,439 Speaker 13: that's an absolute wrecking ball and it reached people's lives. 1417 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 13: I remember when it arrived in New Zealand. I was 1418 01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 13: a police officer down in Taerpo. I just got in 1419 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 13: operation with my second and new police dog. A guy 1420 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 13: had gone nuts with an axe and was trying to 1421 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 13: smash his way into a house to attack some people. 1422 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 13: And I arrived and had to deal with that, and 1423 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:48,160 Speaker 13: I remember entering some pepper spray into it onto his 1424 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,840 Speaker 13: face and it just had no impact or effect at all. 1425 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,200 Speaker 13: It's a horrible drug. It's a horrible drug. It's very 1426 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 13: difficult to police. It's been a wrecking ball for us 1427 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 13: as a country and globally, and we are working really 1428 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 13: hard that The reason why I keep talking about games 1429 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 13: is because they are the ones that are pepure. 1430 01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah they are. But I worry too, Mark and the 1431 01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 2: flip side of that is going to get all of that. 1432 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 2: But I mean, who, I just I just I cannot 1433 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 2: get my head around it that the ninety six percent 1434 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:19,480 Speaker 2: increase in use. I mean, what sort of idiot goes 1435 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 2: down that? You know, you can have your weed debate 1436 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 2: and your cocaine debate and all that sort of stuff, 1437 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,120 Speaker 2: But a myth is evil, and once you're down there, 1438 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:26,480 Speaker 2: you don't get it out. 1439 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,439 Speaker 24: Can I'd like to jump in there? So I worked 1440 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,080 Speaker 24: for when John Key pulled together the myth in tackling 1441 01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 24: myth infetamine when it really started to pick. I worked 1442 01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 24: in that group and Department of Prime Minister and Kevina 1443 01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 24: under National when they had an action plan or myth 1444 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 24: infetamin and you're right, it goes right across society market. 1445 01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,640 Speaker 24: We see it in high you know, white collar areas 1446 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 24: as well. But it is absolutely devastating. And what those 1447 01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,000 Speaker 24: stats are coming at now are showing that the price 1448 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 24: point for me, it's lowest ever, it's the cheapest it's 1449 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,560 Speaker 24: ever been, and the purity is its highest, It's not 1450 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 24: been cut at anything. So that shows that the illicit 1451 01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:01,400 Speaker 24: market right now in New Zealand has been completely flooded. 1452 01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 24: You can get it really easily and that's the most 1453 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 24: worrying thing that people who want to get it quickly. 1454 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 13: And the other thing, of course, Mike, is that when 1455 01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,920 Speaker 13: you are in the tough economic times, people turn to 1456 01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,400 Speaker 13: some sort of escape. We sillth be alcohol, whether that 1457 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,600 Speaker 13: be drugs, and we've been in tough economic times for 1458 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,800 Speaker 13: a few years and that's a that's an aggravating factor 1459 01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 13: as well. 1460 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:22,439 Speaker 2: I've got to take a break. I'm one of my 1461 01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 2: make Minchell Guinney, and in fifteen past. 1462 01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 1: The Mike Asking Breakfast full show podcast on Iheard Radio 1463 01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks. 1464 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,920 Speaker 2: It be eighteen past eight, A little bit short on time, 1465 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:35,880 Speaker 2: make Mintchell joinny and and just a quick one because 1466 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 2: we talked too long.

But 1610 01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:14,320 Speaker 2: he's sticking to his line. 1611 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,800 Speaker 18: We have an amazing group or national security now is 1612 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 18: stronger than it's ever been there was no classified information. 1613 01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:23,160 Speaker 18: As I understand it. 1614 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:24,640 Speaker 24: They used a. 1615 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:28,960 Speaker 18: A app, if you want to call it an app 1616 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:30,960 Speaker 18: that a lot of people use, a lot of people 1617 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,360 Speaker 18: in government use, a lot of people in the media used. 1618 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:35,519 Speaker 2: I think we do call it an app, don't we. 1619 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:37,800 Speaker 2: It is in deed day, straight up and down, bona 1620 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 2: fide app. Anyway, he's definting Walts, of course, he said, 1621 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 2: Walts my mistakes, not the end of the world. And 1622 01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 2: what they do, of course is Walts has a crack 1623 01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:46,360 Speaker 2: at everybody else the lesson. 1624 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:48,680 Speaker 15: There was a lot of journalists in this city who 1625 01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 15: have made big names for themselves making up lies about 1626 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 15: this president, whether it's the Russia hoax or making up 1627 01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 15: lies about gold Star families, and this one in particular, 1628 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 15: I've never, don't know, never communicated with, and we are 1629 01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 15: and we are looking into and reviewing how the heck 1630 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 15: he got into this room. But I'll tell you what 1631 01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 15: the world owes President Trump a. 1632 01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:15,800 Speaker 16: Favor, international correspondence with ends and eye insurance, peace of 1633 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 16: mind for New Zealand business. 1634 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 2: I think, how the heck you got into the room, 1635 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 2: as he was let him by mister Boltz on the 1636 01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:28,280 Speaker 2: the app. If you want to call it that, Steve, 1637 01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:31,640 Speaker 2: how are you good morning? What an absolute? 1638 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:31,960 Speaker 5: I mean? 1639 01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:32,680 Speaker 3: Is it just me? 1640 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,880 Speaker 2: But they have no money less than no money deficits forever, 1641 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 2: and yet they're going to pay for your doctor, pay 1642 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,840 Speaker 2: for your power, pay for your cost of living, give 1643 01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:43,879 Speaker 2: you a tax cut. I mean, are they serious? 1644 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 5: We've become a handout nation, no doubt about that. And look, 1645 01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 5: I think is it going to work for them electorally? 1646 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,599 Speaker 5: Potentially it will? And I think the lids have come 1647 01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:55,360 Speaker 5: up with a pretty clear line though. This is a 1648 01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,880 Speaker 5: budget for the next five weeks, not a budget for 1649 01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 5: the next five years. And I say that, of course 1650 01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,439 Speaker 5: because an election get called on the weekend and will 1651 01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:06,559 Speaker 5: have it in May. And you're right, the numbers are 1652 01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 5: I watering. The deficit this year or this financial year 1653 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,720 Speaker 5: is predicted to be forty two billion dollars. So that 1654 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:18,640 Speaker 5: means clearly we spend forty two billion more than we 1655 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,000 Speaker 5: bring in in tax. Take another revenue, and if you 1656 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,479 Speaker 5: look at the gross debt for Australia, it's nine hundred 1657 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,719 Speaker 5: and forty billion dollars at the end of the twenty 1658 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:31,360 Speaker 5: four to twenty five financial year. So what does a 1659 01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:36,320 Speaker 5: government that's responsible of handling taxpayer's money. Well, they announced 1660 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:38,680 Speaker 5: a seventeen billion dollar tax cut over the next two 1661 01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,640 Speaker 5: years between twenty six and twenty seven. Well, well that 1662 01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,400 Speaker 5: means to you as an individual, will you get a 1663 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:48,639 Speaker 5: whopping five hundred and thirty six dollars annually or five 1664 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 5: dollars a week this year and then ten dollars next year. 1665 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 5: I mean, it's already been talked about as a takeaway 1666 01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:58,960 Speaker 5: coffee ride by the government to lead up to the election, 1667 01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,160 Speaker 5: and that's what it is. And they've got a line 1668 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,920 Speaker 5: in the budget there there's a reasonably modest one point 1669 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:09,400 Speaker 5: five to billion on decisions not yet taken. So we've 1670 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:11,960 Speaker 5: watched over the last couple of weeks huge amounts of 1671 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,040 Speaker 5: money spent on medic care and education. That means they've 1672 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:18,639 Speaker 5: got one thy five hundred million dollars to dole out 1673 01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:22,120 Speaker 5: between now an election day on other election promises, and 1674 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:23,599 Speaker 5: you'll see them come pretty quickly. 1675 01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:25,880 Speaker 2: I've got many questions, one of which why don't they 1676 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,000 Speaker 2: means test any of it, you know, the power thing? 1677 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:30,759 Speaker 2: For example, why are you giving that money to millionaires? 1678 01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,920 Speaker 5: They say it's too hard to and will be too 1679 01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 5: take too long to work out how to means test it. 1680 01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:42,560 Speaker 5: So yes, me who don't need anything from government, I 1681 01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:45,880 Speaker 5: don't really like taking it, will automatically have it taken 1682 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:47,960 Speaker 5: off my power bill. And then that's the other thing. 1683 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,920 Speaker 5: The government doesn't send you that money. The power companies 1684 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,719 Speaker 5: are told that they're the ones they've got to process 1685 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 5: the discounts on your energy, which are very modest and 1686 01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:57,680 Speaker 5: don't mean much to anybody at all. 1687 01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:01,519 Speaker 2: And we've then got the tax take which is at 1688 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 2: record level, so they're bringing in more tax than ever, 1689 01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,680 Speaker 2: and yet they still can't make ends meat. How does 1690 01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 2: Charmers live with himself? I mean, I mean, that's not 1691 01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 2: how we run our lives. I mean, it's not like 1692 01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:16,880 Speaker 2: he hasn't got any tax take. He's got record tax take, 1693 01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 2: and yet he still can't make ends meet. 1694 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,080 Speaker 5: He's got record tax cap mainly because of what we 1695 01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,120 Speaker 5: call bracket creep. To explain that that means, because we've 1696 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,679 Speaker 5: had inflation so high for the last five or six years, 1697 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:32,600 Speaker 5: people have been pushed into upper level tax brackets that 1698 01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,720 Speaker 5: they were just on the verge of falling into and 1699 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:38,240 Speaker 5: now are in. And so the tax cake take flowing 1700 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:40,920 Speaker 5: into the government compace is huge, and yet we still 1701 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,519 Speaker 5: can't balance the budget. It is irresponsible. I haven't seen 1702 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 5: one economist today suggest that it was a good budget financially. 1703 01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,080 Speaker 5: Most people are criticize to have been a quick cash 1704 01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,880 Speaker 5: dash to an election. I think one of the things 1705 01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,800 Speaker 5: you might be interested in is the housing policy. Now 1706 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,640 Speaker 5: I've got to look more at more details here, but 1707 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,600 Speaker 5: they're calling it a crackdown on foreigners buying home so 1708 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:09,960 Speaker 5: that presumably means includes New Zealand two year ban on 1709 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 5: foreigners buying existing property in Australia. But the kicker here 1710 01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:18,760 Speaker 5: is that doesn't start until April one. April Fool's Day. 1711 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:22,720 Speaker 5: Very appropriate because if you are a Chinese investor, just 1712 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,320 Speaker 5: as an example, and you want to buy yourself a 1713 01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,519 Speaker 5: twenty million dollar house on the fringes of Sydney Harbor 1714 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 5: in the East and sobs of Sydney, what are. 1715 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:30,800 Speaker 22: You going to do? 1716 01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:32,920 Speaker 5: You're going to bring your real estate agent enough today 1717 01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:34,680 Speaker 5: and say, mate, I'll buy that place you told me 1718 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 5: I may be able to get. I'll offer you as 1719 01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:39,880 Speaker 5: much money as you like, because I need to buy 1720 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 5: it before April one. I mean, they don't live in 1721 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,400 Speaker 5: the real world, and they've got a thirty three billion 1722 01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:49,000 Speaker 5: dollar plan in this budget to slash the cost of housing. 1723 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,360 Speaker 5: How many houses do you think they have built out 1724 01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,240 Speaker 5: of their target at one point two million? 1725 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 2: Not enough? 1726 01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,200 Speaker 5: Forty five sturs only and net migration we see that 1727 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 5: in the budget that's blown out this year by seventy 1728 01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:05,679 Speaker 5: five thousand. So we're bringing in three hundred and thirty 1729 01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,679 Speaker 5: five thousand migrants into Australia in a country that says 1730 01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,880 Speaker 5: it's got a housing crisis where they can't put people 1731 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 5: in houses. It's crazy. 1732 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,599 Speaker 2: Here's your next problem. How much of the coalition are 1733 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 2: going yeah, we'll match that. So in other words, you 1734 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:22,040 Speaker 2: don't if you, god forbid, were a fiscal conservative and 1735 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 2: actually wanted the country to pay its way, you don't 1736 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:25,240 Speaker 2: really have a choice. 1737 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:28,759 Speaker 5: Well, Angus Taylor, the Shadow treasure was on the ABC 1738 01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:32,640 Speaker 5: and said that they believe that these tax cuts are 1739 01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:37,519 Speaker 5: irresponsible and that they don't really amount to income tax reform. 1740 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:41,360 Speaker 5: Now the reform is the word that's important there. But 1741 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,320 Speaker 5: Peter Dunton will make a budget in reply speech Thursday night. 1742 01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,640 Speaker 5: Don't be surprised if they actually make a tax announcement 1743 01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:51,240 Speaker 5: that costs more than what the government has announced overnight, 1744 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,280 Speaker 5: but it won't be fiddling around five dollars a week 1745 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,200 Speaker 5: at the edges. It'll do something. I imagine it'll do 1746 01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:01,160 Speaker 5: something to the tax level. We where your tax reform 1747 01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 5: really works, where you decide what the tax rates. 1748 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:05,400 Speaker 22: Are going to be. 1749 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,439 Speaker 5: And I think that's where they will play in that area. 1750 01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:11,400 Speaker 2: Given the whole thing and the storm sort of put 1751 01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:13,240 Speaker 2: this on the back bone Ofer now. So he's going 1752 01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 2: to the Governor General almost certainly this weekend. So you're 1753 01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 2: going we're back into election mode. Have you changed your 1754 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:22,519 Speaker 2: mind at all minority government, No, not at all. 1755 01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 5: It's probably reinforced it. I think there will meet more 1756 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 5: people here will go well neither side. He is really 1757 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:31,800 Speaker 5: doing the things that I would want them to do. 1758 01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 5: There's a handout mentality that will work in Labour's favor. 1759 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:39,879 Speaker 5: But I think the minority party is particularly the Tills 1760 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:44,200 Speaker 5: in the more affluent seats and the poll Enhansen Party 1761 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:49,640 Speaker 5: in the wider metropolitan area. They will perhaps put their 1762 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,120 Speaker 5: vote in their hands and you'll see come election night, 1763 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,720 Speaker 5: Anthony Albani is he's scraping by the smallest or have 1764 01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:58,559 Speaker 5: a minority government where he's got to do a deal 1765 01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 5: with whoever survives this election.

Steve 1767 01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 2: Price out of Australia this morning for US eight forty. 1768 01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 1: Five The High Asking Breakfast Full Show podcast on iHeartRadio 1769 01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:13,880 Speaker 1: powered by News Talks at. 1770 01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:18,600 Speaker 2: B It is twelve minutes away from nine. Just the electorates, 1771 01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 2: by the way, that we didn't cover apart from Ginny. 1772 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 2: I'm just thinking hut South expands to take part of 1773 01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 2: Newland's I should tell you before I get to that. 1774 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 2: I forgot to mention from Australia the other day Reggie 1775 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,559 Speaker 2: the Rabbit, which I raised on Monday. Very few people 1776 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 2: in the media in this country have covered Reggie the Rabbit, 1777 01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 2: and they should have. Charlie Gallico is Reggie the Rabbit 1778 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 2: and he went and whacked a nine year old Cronulla 1779 01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:44,519 Speaker 2: fan and so that was on social media because his 1780 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,160 Speaker 2: mother posted it on social media. I'd like to apologize 1781 01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:49,599 Speaker 2: to Benji and his parents. I should never have pushed 1782 01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,799 Speaker 2: Benji mother with a child posted on social media claiming 1783 01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:56,839 Speaker 2: that Gallico had assaulted his son. They met on yesterday 1784 01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 2: three parties, Mum, the Sun and the Rabbit to clear 1785 01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:02,759 Speaker 2: up that. I don't know. Charlie went as the rabbit. 1786 01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:05,000 Speaker 2: Do you go if you're a mascot called Reggie, do 1787 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 2: you go as Ridgie or do you go as Charlie? 1788 01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,839 Speaker 2: Or do you go look maybe just half the costume 1789 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:12,840 Speaker 2: or would you just while you start out as half 1790 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:14,160 Speaker 2: the rabbit and go? Would you like me to put 1791 01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:15,120 Speaker 2: my hood on now? 1792 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 1: Sa? 1793 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,360 Speaker 11: I mean don't wear the punchy bits. 1794 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:21,519 Speaker 2: Anyway. So that's been sort of where was I? So 1795 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:25,200 Speaker 2: hut south expanse to take in part of Newland's Rumatuka 1796 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:29,960 Speaker 2: moves southwards an area around a poony. More importantly, and 1797 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,479 Speaker 2: more interestingly, the two electorates that are gone, well, the 1798 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,280 Speaker 2: two new electorates are going to be called Kenna Peru 1799 01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 2: and Capadie and so they're created from bits of Bhario 1800 01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:43,200 Speaker 2: Manu and O Tacki. They're gone, so Ohario's gregor' connor's 1801 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:46,280 Speaker 2: patch of course, formerly Peter Done Marna is Barbara Edmonds place. 1802 01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,479 Speaker 2: O Taki is Tim Costley national MP. So they want 1803 01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 2: to see Wellington's wrong Atti gain bits of Mount Cook 1804 01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 2: and Brooklyn, which is good because Brooklyn's a nice If 1805 01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,240 Speaker 2: I owned wrong Atai as an electorate, I'd want Brooklyn 1806 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,519 Speaker 2: in there. But then again and Wellington Central loses those 1807 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:06,280 Speaker 2: areas but moves north into Wadestown, Nio and Kindala. 1808 01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:08,240 Speaker 11: It's a bit like playing monopoly, isn't it. Can I 1809 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:09,040 Speaker 11: put a hotel on it? 1810 01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:13,600 Speaker 2: Wouldn't you want Wadestown in Kindala? Candala's really Mayfair and 1811 01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 2: Wadestown is what what's Wadestown Bond Street? I think it's great. 1812 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 11: I feel a customized board coming on Nio is yellow. 1813 01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:24,240 Speaker 2: I think NIO's probably yellow. No insult to Nai. You're 1814 01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 2: just not Wadestown in Candala. I mean, yeah, I'm sure 1815 01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 2: you think you are, but you're not, certainly not. Last 1816 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 2: time I went through n you'll know Wadestown or words 1817 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:32,559 Speaker 2: to that effect. 1818 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,240 Speaker 11: I thought it was a good strategy to buy those 1819 01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:35,559 Speaker 11: cheap ones as quickly as you could. 1820 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:37,600 Speaker 2: That's what I do on the monopoly. But what you 1821 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:39,600 Speaker 2: want is, of course, is Mayfair and the Greens. But 1822 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:41,519 Speaker 2: you never go there because the cost of the hotel's 1823 01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:43,000 Speaker 2: too much. And I think that's what you'd find in 1824 01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 2: Nio as well. Anyway, in Auckland, they're just mucking around 1825 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,280 Speaker 2: with it. Nothing actually goes or changes. I don't know 1826 01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,400 Speaker 2: what happened to Andrew gets yesterday, who's busy on the 1827 01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 2: news all day telling is how IPSUL was going to 1828 01:25:56,240 --> 01:25:59,720 Speaker 2: disappear and Epsen didn't go anywhere, so I don't know 1829 01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:01,920 Speaker 2: what's going on there. So those are the electoral changes. 1830 01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 2: And as I said to Junior a moment ago, sort 1831 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 2: of doesn't matter because MMP solved all those problems anyway, 1832 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 2: hasn't it? Nine Away from nine the. 1833 01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,280 Speaker 1: Mike asking breakfast with the range rover Villa News. 1834 01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 2: Toddsad been Mike, you forgot crafton Downs? Steve. Crofton Downs 1835 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,400 Speaker 2: isn't real, is it? It's one of those areas that 1836 01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,360 Speaker 2: you go. No one knows where crafton Downs is, or 1837 01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:23,639 Speaker 2: they sort of heard somebody who might live in crafton Downs. 1838 01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,760 Speaker 2: You live in Kendala, or you live in Wadestown, or 1839 01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,479 Speaker 2: you live in Nio, or you live in Fendleton, or 1840 01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,800 Speaker 2: you live in rem neu Era.
